Background:
and Purpose Limited evidence exists on the effectiveness of endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute posterior circulation tandem lesion (PCTL). This study aimed to explore the role of extracranial vertebral artery (VA) stenting in patients with PCTL stroke undergoing EVT.
Methods:
Individual patient data were pooled from the BASILAR (EVT for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion Study) and PERSIST (Posterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke) registries. Patients with PCTLs who underwent EVT were included in the present cohort and divided into the stenting and nonstenting groups based on the placement of extracranial VA stents. The primary efficacy outcome was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at 90 days and 1 year. Safety outcomes included 24-hour symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and all-cause mortality at 90 days and 1 year post-surgery.
Results:
A combined dataset of 1,320 patients with posterior circulation artery occlusion, including 263 (19.9%) with tandem lesions, of whom 217 (median age, 65 years; 82.9% male) met the inclusion criteria for the analysis. The stenting group had 84 (38.7%) patients, while the non-stenting group had 133 (61.3%). After adjustment for the potential confounders, extracranial VA stenting was associated with favorable shifts in mRS scores at both 90 days (adjusted common odds ratio [OR], 2.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23–4.28; P<0.01) and 1 year (adjusted OR [aOR], 2.04; 95% CI [1.05–3.97]; P=0.04), along with lower rate of mortality at both 90 days (aOR, 0.45; 95% CI [0.21–0.93]; P=0.01) and 1 year (aOR, 0.36; 95% CI [0.16–0.79]; P=0.01), with no significant difference in sICH incidence (aOR, 0.35; 95% CI [0.06–1.98]; P=0.24).
Conclusion
Extracranial VA stenting during EVT may improve functional outcomes and reduce mortality in patients with PCTL strokes.

Objective:
We aimed to explore the mechanism of Pizhan Powder in regulating the Wnt4/β-catenin signaling pathway to promote wound healing in mice with chronic skin ulcer.
Methods:
Male BALB/c mice were divided into blank, model, Pizhan Powder, Pizhan powder removed bark medications, bark medications, inhibitor, and Pizhan Powder + inhibitor groups using the random number table method, with six mice per group. Except for the blank group, chronic skin ulcer wound models were prepared in the other groups by implanting foreign bodies. The blank control group received no treatment, whereas the wounds of the model group were cleaned with furacilin solution. The Pizhan Powder, Pizhan Powder removed bark medications, and bark medications groups were each administered 0.1 g of the corresponding medication on the skin wounds. The inhibitor group received an intraperitoneal injection of 3-(4-methylphenylsulfonamido) benzoic acid methyl ester (MSAB) at a dosage of 10 mg/kg. The Pizhan Powder + inhibitor group was administered 0.1 g of Pizhan Powder on the skin wound, and an intraperitoneal injection of MSAB was also administered (10 mg/kg). These treatments were administered once a day for 14 consecutive days. Wound healing was observed on the first, third, seventh, and 14th day of treatment; hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes of ulcerated skin; keratin 10 (CK10), keratin 14 (CK14), cell proliferation nuclear antigen (Ki-67), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and β-catenin expression in wounds was observed through immunofluorescence; Western blotting was used to detect the expression of signaling pathway-related proteins (Wnt4 and β-catenin).
Results:
Compared to the model group, the Pizhan Powder group showed a reduced wound area and an increased wound healing rate (P<0.05) and elevated CK10, CK14, Ki-67, α-SMA, β-catenin, and Wnt4 protein expressions (P<0.05). Compared to the Pizhan Powder group, the wound healing rate of the bark medications and Pizhan Powder removed bark medications groups was reduced (P<0.05). The wound healing rate and the fluorescence expression of CK10, CK14, Ki-67, and α-SMA in the Pizhan Powder removed bark medications group were lower than that in the bark medications group (P<0.05). Compared to the Pizhan Powder group, the wound healing rate of the Pizhan Powder + inhibitor group was reduced, and CK10, CK14, Ki-67, α-SMA, β-catenin and Wnt4 protein expression were lower (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Pizhan Powder promotes wound healing in chronic skin ulcers of mice by regulating the Wnt4/β-catenin signaling pathway. The bark medications (buffalo hide, white mulberry root-bark, and Chinese wolfberry root-bark) play a crucial role, representing a concrete application of the traditional Chinese medicine theory of " treating skin with skin.

OBJECTIVE To establish drug utilization evaluation (DUE) criteria for pyrotinib to promote its appropriate application in clinical practice. METHODS Based on the label of Pyrotinib maleate tablets, with relevant guiding principles and diagnostic and treatment guidelines as the evaluation basis, DUE criteria for pyrotinib were determined through the Delphi method. Attribute hierarchical model (AHM) and entropy weight method (EWM) were used to combine and assign weights to each indicator within the DUE criteria. Additionally, the weighted technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was applied to perform rationality evaluation of medication in archived medical records from Hainan Provincial Tumor Hospital and Hainan Western Central Hospital regarding the use of pyrotinib from November 2019 to November 2023. RESULTS The established DUE criteria for pyrotinib included 4 primary indicators (prescription authority, indications for use, medication process, and medication outcomes) and 11 secondary indicators. The secondary indicators with higher weights were the route of administration and dosage (0.257) and indications in the label (0.241). Among the 88 archived cases included, there were 28 cases of inappropriate medication (31.82%), 43 cases of generally appropriate medication (48.86%), and 17 cases of appropriate medication (19.32%). The main issues related to inappropriate medication involved off-label use (42.05%) and inappropriate routes of administration and dosage (43.18%). CONCLUSIONS DUE criteria for pyrotinib established using the AHM-EWM-weighted TOPSIS method is highly operational and results in quantifiable evaluation outcomes. The overall rationality of the use of pyrotinib in the above hospitals remains to be improved, and there are some issues, like the off-label use,and inappropriate routes of administration and dosage being liaoyylyy@163.com unreasonable.

7.The Effect and Mechanism of MVP on the Function of Human Renal Cancer Cells
Acta Medicinae Universitatis Scientiae et Technologiae Huazhong 2024;53(5):629-634,680
Objective To observe the effects of knocking down the expression of major vault protein(MVP)on the prolifer-ation,migration,and invasion of renal cancer cells and its possible mechanisms of action.Methods The basic expression levels of the MVP gene in human renal tubular epithelial cells(HK2)and human renal cancer cell lines(786-O,769-P,and ACHN)were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting,and the cell lines with significantly high MVP expression were screened as experi-mental cell lines.The effects of MVP knockdown on the proliferation,migration and invasion of human renal cancer cells were observed via cell colony formation,EdU incorporation,cell cycle,cell scratch and Transwell assays.The expression of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway proteins was detected via Western blotting.The mechanism by which the MVP gene regulates the biologi-cal behavior of renal cancer cells was determined by a pathway activator.Results The results of qRT-PCR and Western blotting showed that,compared with those in HK2 cells,the MVP mRNA and protein expression levels in 786-O,769-P and ACHN cells were significantly increased(all P<0.05),especially in 769-P cells.After MVP was knocked down in 769-P cells,their ability to form colonies was significantly weakened(P<0.01).The number of EdU-positive cells decreased significantly(P<0.01).The proportion of cells in the S phase decreased(P<0.01),whereas the proportion of cells in the G2 phase increased(P<0.01).The migration and invasion abilities of the cells were significantly inhibited(all P<0.01).The protein expression of p-PI3K,p-Akt and p-mTOR decreased(all P<0.01).The protein expression of p-PI3K,p-Akt and p-mTOR increased when MVP was knocked down and when the PI3K activator 740Y-P was given at the same time(all P<0.01).The inhibition of cell prolifera-tion,migration and invasion caused by MVP knockdown was also reversed by 740Y-P(all P<0.01).Conclusion Knocking down the MVP gene can inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of human renal cancer cells,which may be achieved by blocking the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:
To understand the trends in malnutrition among primary and middle school students of Han nationality in Hainan Province from 2005 to 2019, so as to provide a basis for improving nutrition intervention measures for children and adolescents.
Methods:
A sample of 32 949 Han nationality primary and middle school students aged 7-18 years old in Hainan Province were investigated in 2005, 2010, 2014 and 2019 based on national survey on student physical fitness and health. The Malnutrition Screening Standard of Schoolage Children and Adolescents was used to screen malnutrition. Statistical analysis was performed using the χ2 test and the χ2trend test.
Results:
In the four surveys conducted during 2005 to 2019, the prevalence of malnutrition among primary and middle school students were 22.12%, 18.80%, 15.89% and 9.56%, respectively, with an increase of -12.56% and an average annual increase of -5.82%. The decreasing trend of malnutrition by year was statistically significant (χ2trend=600.72, P<0.01), and the proportion of emaciation type was the highest (8.87%-20.15%). The detection rates of malnutrition among all students aged 7 to 18 showed a decreasing trend from 2005 to 2019 (χ2trend=56.44, 60.04, 61.48, 42.49, 51.81, 50.81, 72.86, 101.34, 86.38, 24.81, 17.72, 10.38, P<0.01). From 2005 to 2019, the detection rates of malnutrition in boys were higher than that of girls (in 4 surveys), and that in rural students from 2005 to 2014 of 3 surveys were higher than that in towns (χ2=92.07, 35.16, 25.29, 29.98; 64.35, 4.26, 6.32, P<0.05).
Conclusions
The malnutrition of Han nationality primary and middle school students aged 7-18 years in Hainan Province show a trend of improvement year by year from 2005 to 2019, despite the overall high detection rate. Wasting is the most common type of malnutrition. The epidemic of malnutrition varies by age, sex and areas. Further targeted measures should be taken to strengthen intervention in the diet of primary and middle school students, to improve the nutritional status of children and adolescents.

A major challenge facing photodynamic therapy (PDT) is that the activity of the immune-induced infiltrating CD8+ T cells is subject to the regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs), leaving the tumor at risk of recurrence and metastasis after the initial ablation. To augment the antitumor response and reprogram the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), a supramolecular photodynamic nanoparticle (DACss) is constructed by the host-guest interaction between demethylcantharidin-conjugated β-cyclodextrin (DMC-CD) and amantadine-terminated disulfide-conjugated FFVLGGGC peptide with chlorin e6 decoration (Ad-ss-pep-Ce6) to achieve intelligent delivery of photosensitizer and immunomodulator for breast cancer treatment. The acid-labile β-carboxamide bond of DMC-CD is hydrolyzed in response to the acidic TME, resulting in the localized release of DMC and subsequent inhibition of Tregs. The guest molecule Ad-ss-pep-Ce6 can be cleaved by a high level of intracellular GSH, reducing photosensitizer toxicity and increasing photosensitizer retention in the tumor. With a significant increase in the CTL/Treg ratio, the combination of Ce6-based PDT and DMC-mediated immunomodulation adequately achieved spatiotemporal regulation and remodeling of the TME, as well as improved primary tumor and in situ lung metastasis suppression with the aid of PD-1 antibody.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for the adjustment of antibiotic treatment regimens, identification of adverse reactions, and individualized pharmaceutical care for melioidosis sepsis (MS). METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the intensive and eradicating therapeutic processes for an MS patient by using blood concentration and gene detection. Based on the literature, antibiotic treatment regimens of MS were adjusted by determining the blood concentrations of β-lactam and trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMZ) and calculating PK/PD parameters. The causes of adverse drug reactions were analyzed and addressed by detecting drug-related gene polymorphisms through high-throughput sequencing. RESULTS Clinical pharmacists used blood concentration and genetic testing methods to propose adjustments to imipenem-cilastatin sodium dosage and analyze the causes of various adverse drug reactions. PK/PD targets were calculated by measuring the blood concentrations of β-lactam and TMP/SMZ. Clinical pharmacists explained to clinical doctors the compliance status of patients with melioidosis in sepsis and non- sepsis stages through reviewing guidelines and literature; the results of blood concentration and genetic test were used to analyze the correlation of neurotoxicity of MS patients with B14) IMP cmin, and it was found that nephrotoxicity was not related to the cmax of TMP/SMZ, but to the patient’s water intake. After whole-process antibiotic treatment, the patient’s condition improved and was discharged, and the adverse reactions were effectively treated. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists use blood concentration and genetic tests to assist clinicians in formulating MS treatment regimens, and provide whole-course pharmaceutical care for a MS patient. This method has improved the safety and effectiveness of clinical drug therapy.
