ObjectiveTo explore the clinical safety of Feilike Mixture (FLK) in the real world. MethodsThe safety of all children who received FLK from 29 institutions in 12 provinces between January 21,2021 and December 25,2021 was evaluated through prospective centralized surveillance and a nested case control study. ResultsA total of 3 035 juveniles were included. There were 29 research centers involved,which are distributed across 12 provinces,including one traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital and 28 general hospitals. The average age among the juveniles was (4.77±3.56) years old,and the average weight was (21.81±12.97) kg. Among them,119 cases (3.92%) of juveniles had a history of allergies. Acute bronchitis was the main diagnosis for juveniles,with 1 656 cases (54.46%). FLK was first used in 2 016 cases (66.43%),and 142 juvenile patients had special dosages,accounting for 4.68%. Among them,92 adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurred,including 73 cases of gastrointestinal system disorders,10 cases of metabolic and nutritional disorders,eight cases of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases,two cases of vascular and lymphatic disorders,and one case of systemic diseases and various reactions at the administration site. The manifestations of ADRs were mainly diarrhea,stool discoloration,and vomiting,and no serious ADRs occurred. The results of multi-factor analysis indicated that special dosages (the use of FLK)[odds ratio (OR) of 2.642, 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.105-6.323],combined administration: spleen aminopeptide (OR of 4.978, 95%CI of 1.200-20.655),and reason for combined administration: anti-infection (OR of 1.814, 95%CI of 1.071-3.075) were the risk factors for ADRs caused by FLK. Conclusion92 ADRs occurred among 3 035 juveniles using FLK. The incidence of ADRs caused by FLK was 3.03%,and the severity was mainly mild or moderate. Generally,the prognosis was favorable after symptomatic treatment such as drug withdrawal or dosage reduction,suggesting that FLK has good clinical safety.

Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control 2025;37(1):81-84
Objective To investigate the industrial and job changes among fishermen and their impact on economic incomes and schistosomiasis control following fishing ban and withdrawal in Poyang Lake areas, so as to provide insights into formulation of the schistosomiasis control strategy in these areas. Methods One township was selected as the study area from each of Duchang County, Poyang County and Yugan County around the Poyang Lake areas from May to June, 2023, and at least 500 fishermen at ages of 60 years and less were sampled from each township. Questionnaires were allocated to all subjects via the “Questionnaire Star” platform, including demographics, ratio of profits from different production activities before and after fishing ban and withdrawal, contact with infested water before and after fishing ban and withdrawal, and changes in household economic income before and after fishing ban and withdrawal. Subjects’ schistosomiasis examination and treatment data, and development of schistosomiasis hepatic fibrosis and advanced schistosomiasis were collected from 2016 to 2023. The changes in economic incomes, contact with infested water, sero-prevalence of human schistosomiasis, and proportions of schistosomiasis examinations and treatments were compared among study subjects. Results A total of 2 449 fishermen with an average age of (49.55 ± 8.86) years were investigated, including 1 654 full-time fishermen (67.54%) and 795 part-time fishermen (32.46%). The ratios of profits from fishing activities reduced from 88.15% and 34.82% before fishing ban and withdrawal to < 0.01% and 0.03% after fishing ban and withdrawal among full-time and part-time fishermen, while the ratios of profits from other production activities increased. The proportion of full-time fishermen who thought a reduction or a large reduction in their economic incomes was 79.93% (1 322/1 654), which was higher than that (66.79%, 531/795) of part-time fishermen (χ2 = 50. 307, P < 0.001), and the proportion of part-time fishermen who thought minor changes in their economic incomes was 15.60% (124/795), which was higher than that (4.11%, 68/1 654) of full-time fishermen (χ2 = 96.274, P < 0.001). There was a reduction in the contact with infested water among fishermen following fishing ban and withdrawal, and the proportions of respondents that had no contact, a large reduction in contact and a reduction in contact with infested water were 14.74% (361/2 449), 57.78% (1 415/2 449) and 26.05% (638/2 449), respectively. In addition, the sero-prevalence of schistosomiasis, and proportions of schistosomiasis examinations and treatments decreased from 9.79%, 87.14%, and 97.80% in 2016 to 4.38%, 53.16%, and 71. 51% in 2023 among fishermen in Duchang County, Poyang County and Yugan County (χ2 = 6.944, 865.194, 238.953, all P values < 0.01), and the prevalence of schistosomiasis liver fibrosis and advanced schistosomiasis was 42.64% (826/1 937) and 6.08% (149/2 449) among study subjects, respectively. Conclusions Industrial and job changes among fishermen are beneficial for schistosomiasis control after fishing ban and withdrawal in Poyang Lake areas; however, there is an increased difficulty for management of fishermen due to an increase in number of migrant labors and other factors.

OBJECTIVE To provide suggestions for improving the path and system construction of patient engagement in drug regulation in China. METHODS By reviewing initiatives and experiences from the United States (U. S.), European Union (EU), and Japan in promoting patient engagement, this study summarizes the roles and contributions of patients in the entire drug regulatory process internationally. Combining China’s current progress and challenges in patient engagement, specific proposals are formulated to refine regulatory pathways and institutional systems. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS With growing global emphasis on patient engagement as a regulatory strategy, countries or regions such as the U.S., EU, and Japan have established clear policies, designated oversight agencies, and developed diversified pathways for patient engagement. Patients contribute to regulatory processes through advisory meetings, direct decision-making roles, and leveraging lived experiences and expertise to optimize drug evaluation and monitoring. In contrast, China’s patient engagement remains primarily limited to clinical value- oriented drug development, lacking formal policy guidance. It is recommended that China, based on its existing policy system, further strengthen the construction of a safeguard system for patient engagement, improve the capacity building and pathway models for patient participation in pharmaceutical regulation, and promote the continuous development of patient engagement in pharmaceutical regulation in our country.

Background Recent advances in understanding the toxic effects of inorganic arsenic have revealed that arsenic exposure impacts multiple endocrine organs, thereby altering their functions. However, the mechanisms underlying arsenic-induced thyroid injury remain unclear. Objective To investigate the mechanisms by which sodium arsenite (NaAsO₂) affects the proliferation and apoptosis of normal thyroid cells (Nthy-ori3-1) through the estrogen receptor (ER)-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway. Methods Nthy-ori3-1 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into the following groups: a control group (complete medium without drugs, 0 μmol·L−1), and NaAsO₂-treated groups at 1, 2, and 4 μmol·L−1. Additionally, 1 μmol·L−1 of the ER inhibitor ICI182780 was used to intervene in the NaAsO₂ exposure groups, resulting in the following combinations: 1 μmol·L−1 NaAsO₂ + ICI182780, 2 μmol·L−1 NaAsO₂ + ICI182780, and 4 μmol·L−1 NaAsO₂ + ICI182780. The median lethal concentration of NaAsO₂ was determined using cell viability assay. Cell viability was assessed at 24, 36, and 48 h using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Colony formation ability was evaluated via plate cloning assay. Apoptosis was detected using Hoechst

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum (PRP) on lung tissue, gut microbiota, and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) metabolism in a model of mice with cold fluid retention in the lung and explore its mechanism of action in resolving dampness and phlegm based on the interconnection between the lung and large intestine. MethodsFifty female ICR mice were randomly divided into a normal group, model group, positive control group (Xiaoqinglong granules, 6.5 g·kg-1), and high-dose and low-dose PRP decoction groups (3.0, 1.5 g·kg-1), with 10 mice in each group. A model of mice with cold fluid retention in the lung was established using ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization combined with cold-water immersion. Drug interventions were conducted from day 18 to day 33 for 15 consecutive days. The airway resistance value of the mice was measured using a non-invasive pulmonary function analyzer. Phlegm-resolving effects were evaluated via a microplate reader. Eosinophil and neutrophil counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were analyzed using an automated hematology analyzer. Serum levels of total immunoglobulin E (IgE), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and BALF levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Lung histopathology was assessed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to detect mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) and aquaporin 5 (AQP5) protein expression in lung tissue. Gut microbiota composition was analyzed via agarose gel electrophoresis, and fecal SCFA levels were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group exhibited significantly increased airway resistance value (RI) (P<0.05), elevated eosinophil and neutrophil counts and IL-6 and IL-8 levels in BALF (P<0.05), increased serum IgE and IL-4 levels (P<0.05), with reduced IFN-γ levels (P<0.05). It also showed thickened bronchial walls, widened alveolar septa, narrowed lumens, and mucus plugs in lung tissue, upregulated MUC5AC protein expression and downregulated AQP5 protein expression (P<0.05), decreased relative abundance of beneficial gut microbiota (Firmicutes, Clostridia, Clostridiales, Lactobacillaceae, and Lactobacillus), and increased abundance of harmful microbiota (Bacteroidetes, Bacteroidia, Bacteroidales, Muribaculaceae, and Muribaculum). In addition, the model group presented reduced fecal SCFA levels (acetate, propionate, and butyrate) (P<0.05). After the intervention of PRP decoction, compared to the model group, all drug administration groups showed decreased RI (P<0.05), increased phenol red excretion, declined eosinophil and neutrophil counts and IL-6, IL-8, IgE, and IL-4 levels (P<0.05), and improved IFN-γ levels (P<0.05) and lung pathology improved. The MUC5AC protein expression decreased (P<0.05), and the AQP5 protein expression increased (P<0.05). The disorder of gut microbiota was improved, and the diversity of gut microbiota was restored, with a significantly increased relative abundance ratio of beneficial microbiota (P<0.05) and a significantly reduced relative abundance ratio of harmful microbiota (P<0.05). The SCFA levels (acetate, propionate, and butyrate) increased (P<0.05). The efficacy indicators of serum inflammatory factors (IgE, IL-4, and IFN-γ), phlegm-resolving effect, airway resistance, total pathological score, and the protein expression of MUC5AC and AQP5 were correlated with gut microbiota and SCFAs. ConclusionPRP decoction alleviates cold-phlegm syndrome by modulating the gut-lung axis, promoting beneficial gut microbiota, enhancing SCFA production, restoring the balance of gut microbiota, and suppressing respiratory inflammation. This study provides novel insights into the TCM theory of interconnection between the lung and large intestine.

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI), a common cerebrovascular disease damage, has garnered increasing attention in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Restoration of blood flow and reperfusion to ischemic brain tissue is the key to treatment, while this process often triggers a variety of complex pathophysiological responses, such as oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, angiogenic abnormalities, and disruption of the blood-brain barrier. These responses not only impede the recovery of neurological functions but also may lead to damage or even death of nerve cells, seriously affecting the neurological function and quality of survival of patients. As an important transcription factor, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) has the pharmacological effect of alleviating CIRI by regulating antioxidant, anti-apoptosis, anti-inflammation, mitochondrial function, angiogenesis, and blood-brain barrier pathways. This reveals the potential mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in intervening in CIRI and shows the potential of Nrf2 as a new pathway for dealing with ischemia stroke. This paper comprehensively analyzes the effects and mechanisms of active components and compound prescription of TCM in treating CIRI by modulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway, while pointing out the shortcomings of available studies and proposing a multidimensional exploration. This review aims to provide patients with more comprehensive, safe, and effective therapeutic regimens and improve the quality of survival and prognosis of patients. In addition, in-depth research on TCM should be promoted to reveal the potential mechanism for treating CIRI, providing new ideas and directions for the development of novel therapeutic drugs and methods.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanism of Shenqi Dihuang decoction (SQDHD) on diabetic kidney disease (DKD), with a focus on its impact on arachidonic acid-related ferroptosis. MethodsSixty C57BL/6 mice were allocated into a normal group (n=10) and a modeling group (n=50), with 43 mice successfully modeled. The successfully modeled mice were further allocated into model, low-, medium-, and high-dose (4.68, 9.36, and 18.72 g·kg-1, respectively) SQDHD, and dapagliflozin (0.13 mg·kg-1) groups. The drug treatment groups were administrated with corresponding agents by gavage, and the normal and model groups were administrated with equal volumes of normal saline by gavage. An electronic balance and a glucometer were used to monitor the body weight and fasting blood glucose level from the tail tip, respectively. Serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Histopathological changes in the renal tissue were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, Masson staining, and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. The fluorescence intensity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in frozen sections was observed by an inverted fluorescence microscope to evaluate the levels of ferrous ions (Fe2+) and lipid peroxidation in the renal tissue. Immunofluorescence staining of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) in the renal tissue was performed to detect their localization and expression. Western blot was employed to assess the expression levels of key ferroptosis proteins such as GPX4 and cystine/glutamate antiporter (xCT), as well as the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway-related proteins, including ACSL4, lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3 (LPCAT3), and arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15). Real-time PCR was employed to measure the mRNA levels of key ferroptosis proteins, including solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and GPX4, as well as arachidonic acid metabolism-related factors (ACSL4, LPCAT3, and ALOX15) in the renal tissue. ResultsCompared with the normal group, DKD model mice exhibited a decrease in body weight (P<0.01), increases in levels of blood glucose (P<0.01), 24-hour urinary protein, Scr, and BUN (P<0.01), along with severe pathological changes, such as mesangial cell proliferation, basement membrane thickening, tubular atrophy, and interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration. In addition, the modeling elevated the levels of Fe2+, MDA, LPO, and ROS (P<0.01), lowered the GPX4 and xCT levels (P<0.01), raised the ACSL4, LPCAT3, and ALOX15 levels (P<0.01), down-regulated the mRNA levels of GPX4 and SLC7A11 (P<0.01), and up-regulated the mRNA levels of ACSL4, LPCAT3, and ALOX15 (P<0.01) in the renal tissue. Compared with the model group, low-, medium-, and high-dose SQDHD groups and the dapagliflozin group showed an increase in body weight (P<0.01), decreases in levels of blood glucose (P<0.01), 24-hour urinary protein, and Scr (P<0.01), alleviated pathological changes in glomeruli and tubules, and reduced degree of glomerular and tubular fibrosis. The high-dose SQDHD group and the dapagliflozin group showed reductions in Fe2+, MDA, LPO, and ROS levels (P<0.01). The medium- and high-dose SQDHD groups and the dapagliflozin group exhibited increased levels of GPX4 and xCT (P<0.01), decreased levels of ACSL4, LPCAT3, and ALOX15 (P<0.05, P<0.01), and down-regulated mRNA levels of ACSL4, LPCAT3, and ALOX15 (P<0.01). ConclusionSQDHD ameliorates DKD by inhibiting ferroptosis potentially by reducing iron ion levels, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, up-regulating GPX4 expression, and down-regulating ACSL4 expression. This study provides new insights and a theoretical basis for the treatment of DKD with traditional Chinese medicine and identifies potential targets for developing novel therapeutics for DKD.
