Obesity usually exacerbates the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME), hindering CD8+ T cell infiltration and function, which further represents a significant barrier to the efficacy of immunotherapy. Herein, a multifunctional liposomal system (CR-Lip) for encapsulating celastrol (CEL) was utilized to remodel obesity-related ITME and improve cancer immunotherapy, wherein Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) was detected interspersed in the phospholipid bilayer and its glycosyl exposed on the surface of the liposome. CR-Lip had a relatively uniform size (116.5 nm), facilitating favorable tumor tissue accumulation through the interaction between Rg3 and glucose transporter 1 overexpressed in obese tumor cells. Upon reaching the tumor region, CR-Lip was found to induce the immunogenic cell death (ICD) of HFD tumor cells. Notably, the level of PHD3 in HFD tumor cells was effectively boosted by CR-Lip to effectively block metabolic reprogramming and increase the availability of major free fatty acids fuel sources. In vivo, experiments studies revealed that the easy-obtained nano platform stimulated enhanced the production of various cytokines in tumor tissues, DC maturation, CD8+ T-cell infiltration, and synergistic anticancer therapeutic potency with aPD-1 (tumor inhibition rate = 82.1%) towards obesity-related melanoma. Consequently, this study presented an efficacious approach to tumor immunotherapy in obese mice by encompassing tumor eradication, inducing ICD, and reprogramming metabolism. Furthermore, it offered a unique insight into a valuable attempt at the immunotherapy of obesity-associated related tumors.

The interest in covalent drugs has resurged in recent decades, spurring the development of numerous specialized computational docking tools to facilitate covalent ligand design and screening. Herein, we present CarsiDock-Cov, a new paradigm distinguishing itself as the first deep learning (DL)-guided approach for covalent docking. CarsiDock-Cov retains the core components of its non-covalent predecessor, leveraging a DL model pretrained on millions of docking complexes to predict protein-ligand distance matrices, along with a dedicated-designed geometric optimization procedure to convert these distances into refined binding poses. Additionally, it incorporates several key enhancements specifically tailored to optimize the protocol for covalent docking applications. Our approach has been extensively validated on multiple public datasets regarding the docking and screening of covalent ligands, and the results indicate that our approach not only achieves comparably improved applicability compared to its non-covalent predecessor, but also exhibits competitive performance against various state-of-the-art covalent docking tools. Collectively, our approach represents a significant advance in covalent docking methodology, offering an automated and efficient solution that shows considerable promise for accelerating covalent drug discovery and design.

OBJECTIVE To know about the working mode and human resource status of pharmacy intravenous admixture services (PIVAS) in national medical institutions. METHODS Through questionnaire survey, the national PIVAS was invited to fill out questionnaire and statistical analysis was performed on the effective sample data related to PIVAS working mode and human resources in the questionnaire. RESULTS In this study, 761 PIVAS from 722 medical institutions of 29 provinces were involved in the questionnaire survey, with 471 valid questionnaires for working mode and 441 valid questionnaires for human resources survey. In terms of working mode, among 471 PIVAS, 292 PIVAS (62.0%) were in pharmacist-alone mode, and 176 PIVAS (37.4%) were in pharmacist-nurse cooperative mode; there was no significant difference in the types of medical orders received by PIVAS between these two working modes except for the other medical orders (P>0.05). In terms of human resource setting, among 441 PIVAS, the average number of total staff of single PIVAS was 24(16,33), including 11(6,19) pharmacists, 7(2,13) nursing staff, and 3(1,5) workers; there was a statistically significant difference in the number of personnel among three groups (P< 0.01). The per capita income of PIVAS respondents in 2019 was [7.9(4.8,10.7)]×104 yuan, and in 2021 it was [8.8(5.8,11.7)]× 104 yuan, with an increase of 9.0% compared to 2019. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P< 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Medical institutions’ PIVAS in China had not fully implemented the pharmacist-alone work model, and some medical institutions had chosen a pharmacist-nurse cooperative mode. It is suggested that relevant departments formulate corresponding qualification requirements and training standards for nursing personnel as soon as possible based on sufficient research on PIVAS’s demand for nursing professionals.

Objective To explore the therapeutic mechanism of compound Yuye Decoction against diabetic cardiomyopathy(DCM).Methods Drugbank,Gene Cards,OMIM and PharmGKb databases were used to obtain DCM-related targets,and the core targets were identified and functionally annotated by protein-protein interaction network analysis followed by GO and KEGG enrichment analysis.The"Traditional Chinese Medicine-Key Component-Key Target-Key Pathway"network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.1,and molecular docking was carried out for the key components and the core targets.In the animal experiment,Wistar rat models of DCM were treated with normal saline or Yuye Decoction by gavage at low(0.29 g/kg)and high(1.15 g/kg)doses for 8 weeks,and the changes in cardiac electrophysiology and histopathology were evaluated.The changes in serum levels of LDH,CK,and CK-MB were examined,and myocardial expressions of PI3K,P-PI3K,Akt,P-AKT,BAX,IL-6,and TNF-α were detected using Western blotting.Results We identified 61 active compounds in Yuye Decoction with 1057 targets,3682 DCM-related disease targets,and 551 common targets between them.Enrichment of the core targets suggested that apoptosis,inflammation and the PI3K/Akt pathways were the key signaling pathways for DCM treatment.Molecular docking studies showed that the active components in Yuye Decoction including gold amidohydroxyethyl ester and kaempferol had strong binding activities with AKT1 and PIK3R1.In DCM rat models,treatment with Yuye Decoction significantly alleviated myocardial pathologies,reduced serum levels of LDH,CK and CK-MB,lowered myocardial expressions of BAX,IL-6 and TNF-α,and increased the expressions of P-PI3K and P-AKT.Conclusion The therapeutic effect of compound Yuye Decoction against DCM is mediated by its multiple active components that act on multiple targets and pathways to inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis and inflammatory response by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To know about the pharmacy intravenous admixture charge and operation balance of pharmacy intravenous admixture services (PIVAS) in national medical institutions. METHODS Using questionnaire survey method, the national PIVAS leaders were invited to fill in the questionnaire, investigation and statistical analysis of the drug dispensing charge standard and the income and expenditure situations of PIVAS nationwide were conducted. RESULTS A total of 761 PIVAS completed the questionnaire, among which 466 PIVAS (61.2%) had already started implementing pharmacy intravenous admixture charge, mainly in tertiary hospitals. The charge standards for chemotherapy drugs and parenteral nutrition solutions were relatively high, while the standards for packaged drugs were the lowest, with differences in charge standards among provinces(P<0.05). Among the 25 provinces that reported annual drug preparation fee revenue, Hubei had the highest revenue in both 2019 and 2021. In 2019, the number of PIVAS with a balance of payments was more than that of PIVAS with an imbalance of payments, but the number of PIVAS with an imbalance of payments in 2021 exceeded the number of PIVAS with a balance of payments (P<0.05); among them, eight provinces were unbalanced in 2019 and 2021, such as Tianjin, Chongqing, Guizhou, etc. CONCLUSIONS PIVAS charge standards of the surveyed medical institutions in all provinces are not unified. It is suggested to improve the charge standard further, formulate the charge adjustment cycle, and promote a sustainable development of PIVAS.
