OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of plasma trough concentration of venetoclax and its influencing factors in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS After 5 days of venetoclax administration, venous blood samples were collected from AML patients before the next dose. Plasma trough concentrations of venetoclax were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Spearman correlation was used to assess the correlations between venetoclax plasma trough concentration and various parameters (including patients’ general information, venetoclax-related indicators, liver function indicators, kidney function indicators, and blood routine indicators). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify independent factors influencing plasma trough concentration of venetoclax. Using efficacy as dependent variable [complete remission (CR)+partial remission (PR) vs. no remission (NR)], univariate and multivariate binary Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors affecting efficacy. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of venetoclax plasma trough concentration for clinical efficacy (assessed as CR). RESULTS A total of 172 venetoclax plasma trough concentration measurements from 101 patients were included in this study. The median plasma trough concentration of venetoclax was 2.38 (1.18, 3.85) μg/mL; the median sampling time for plasma trough concentration of venetoclax was 10 (7, 15) d; the duration of venetoclax use was (34±12) d. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that alkaline phosphatase ( B =14.65, 95%CI: 5.35-23.95, P =0.002), total bilirubin ( B =-101.71, 95%CI: -197.16 to -6.25, P =0.037), and white blood cell count ( B =-106.84, 95%CI: -187.61 to -26.07, P =0.010) were independent factors influencing plasma trough concentration of venetoclax. Due to patient attrition during treatment, 114 venetoclax plasma trough concentration measurements from 69 patients were included for efficacy evaluation. The results showed that 46 patients (66.7%) achieved CR, 11 patients (15.9%) achieved PR, and 12 patients (17.4%) were NR. Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age, hemoglobin, venetoclax plasma trough concentration, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin were independent factors affecting patient efficacy ( P <0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value of plasma trough concentration of venetoclax for predicting patient efficacy (assessed as CR) was 1.68 μg/mL (AUC=0.66, 95%CI: 0.54-0.78, P =0.014). CONCLUSIONS There is considerable inter-individual variability in plasma trough concentration of venetoclax among AML patients. Plasma trough concentration of venetoclax is significantly correlated with alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, and white blood cell count. Plasma trough concentration of venetoclax is an independent factor affecting patient’s efficacy, and when the cut-off value for predicting CR is above 1.68 μg/mL, better effects may be achieved.

Lung cancer is one of the most lethal cancers, and the overall survival rate of lung cancer patients is very low. With the increasing research on lung cancer, the critical role of intestinal flora in lung cancer treatment has been gradually discovered. Among the various therapeutic approaches targeting the intestinal flora, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is considered as a potential strategy to treat lung cancer by interfering with the homeostasis of the intestinal flora. FMT can improve the efficacy of lung cancer treatment and attenuate the side effects associated with immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy by remodeling the microbial composition, modulating the metabolites, and activating immune responses. The aim of this paper is to discuss the current status and potential mechanisms of FMT in lung cancer treatment, and to provide a new strategy for regulating the intestinal flora to enhance the prevention and treatment of lung cancer.

This paper summarizes Professor WANG Yaoxian's experience in treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) from the perspective of spleen and stomach based on the "internal heat leading to concretions" theory. It is considered that internal heat leading to concretions constitutes the core pathogenesis of DKD, with the spleen and stomach serving as the source of internal heat; therefore, treatment should be based on regulating the spleen and stomach. In the early stage of DKD, dysfunction of the spleen and stomach leads to the initial generation of internal heat. Common syndrome patterns include gastrointestinal heat accumulation and constrained heat in the liver and stomach, for which modified Gegen Qinlian Decoction (葛根芩连汤) can be used to clear heat bind while modified Dachaihu Decoction (大柴胡汤) is used to clear stomach and soothe liver, respectively. In the middle stage of DKD, weakness of the spleen and stomach results in the initial formation of concretions and conglomerations. Common patterns include spleen deficiency with prevalence of dampness and deficiency of both the spleen and kidney. Treatment emphasizes strengthening the spleen and resolving dampness, raising yang and boosting the stomach with modified Shengyang Yiwei Decoction (升阳益胃汤), or supplementing spleen and boosting kidney, dissipating bind and dispe-ring concretions with modified Shenqi Dihuang Decoction (参芪地黄汤), respectively. In the late stage of DKD, it is characterized by spleen and stomach depletion, and rampant accumulation of turbidity and toxin, and the common syndrome patterns are damp-turbidity obstruction in the middle jiao (焦) and spleen-kidney yang deficiency. Treatment aims to remove turbidity and harmonize the stomach, or to warm the kidney and strengthen the spleen while elimina-ting turbidity, using modified Dahuang Gancao Decoction(大黄甘草汤) and Jupi Zhuru Decoction (橘皮竹茹汤) or modified Baoyuan Decoction (保元汤) and Lizhong Decoction (理中汤), respectively. In clinical practice, appropriate formulas and medications are flexibly selected according to specific syndromes.

Based on the theory of diseased collaterals and the progression pattern of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), this paper proposes a staged treatment system based on the "three states of kidney collaterals" including collateral distention, collateral bi (痹) and collateral accumulation. In the collateral distention stage, the primary pathogenesis is heat damaging the kidney collaterals and collateral vessel dilation, corresponding to the early state of DKD characterized by hyperfiltration and microalbuminuria; the clearing method is suggested, and Shenling Jiangtang Formula (参苓降糖方) can be used to promote the remission of proteinuria by ameliorating insulin resistance and regulating intestinal microecology. In the collateral bi stage, the core pathogenesis lies in the binding of phlegm and stasis, and the formation of concretions and conglomerations in the kidney collaterals, corresponding to massive proteinuria and the decline of renal function, for which the unblocking method should be taken, using Jinchan Yishen Tongluo Formula (金蝉益肾通络方) and Qingre Xiaozheng Formula (清热消癥方) to alleviate renal pathological damage by regulating the autophagy-lysosome pathway and repairing mitochondrial energy metabolism. The collateral accumulation stage is characterized by the internal retention of turbid toxins and accumulations of concretions in the kidney collaterals, corresponding to renal fibrosis and end-stage renal disease (ESRD); the dispersion method is suggested, and Yiqi Tongluo Xiezhuo Formula (益气通络泄浊方) and Shenyan Fangshuai Fluid (肾炎防衰液) can be used to inhibit extracellular matrix accumulation and delay the progressive loss of renal function. Collateral deficiency runs through the entire course of the disease and is closely related to cellular senescence and the imbalance of the ubiquitin-proteasome/autophagy system. The concept of the "three states of kidney collaterals" integrates the evolution of traditional Chinese medicine pathogenesis with modern pathological staging, forming a whole-course intervention system of "staging-syndrome differentiation-target-formula", thereby providing novel insights for prevention and treatment of DKD using integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects and value for application of the tibial flap of the second toe with the vascular pedicle including a plantar vein on the reconstruction of fingertip soft tissue defects.Methods:From October 2020 to August 2022, retrospective analysis of 12 patients (12 digits) were treated at the Department of Hand Surgery, Suzhou Ruihua Orthopaedic Hospital for small soft tissue defects of fingertip. The patients were 9 males and 3 females and aged 29-54 years, at 38 years in average. The fingertip defects were measured at approximately 1.2 cm × 0.8 cm to 1.2 cm × 1.2 cm. In the surgery, a tibial flap of second toe was designed to reconstruct the defect in fingertip. The flap were designed on the tibial of second toe without an extended incision in dorsal foot. The pedicle of the flap carried with the lateral proper digital artery, a nerve and the plantar vein of the second toe. At the recipient site, the artery, nerve and vein carried by the pedicle of the flap were end-to-end anastomosed with the digital artery, digital nerve and subcutaneous vein of the finger. The flaps were measured at 1.5 cm×1.0 cm - 1.5 cm×1.5 cm in size. All donor sites were reconstructed with skin grafts from the ipsilateral calf. Scheduled postoperative follow-ups were conducted at the outpatient clinic. The Michigan Hand Function Questionnaire (MHQ) evaluation criteria was employed to assess the recovery of hand function, and Total Active Movement (TAM) was used to evaluate the recovery of range of motion of the interphalangeal joints of the affected fingers.Results:All 12 flaps in the fingertips survived. Postoperative follow-ups lasted from 6 months to 2 years, with an average of 11 months. One flap was slightly bloated and a flap aesthetic surgery was followed at 3 months after the primary reconstructive surgery, and the rest of flaps were all in good appearance. TPD was found at 12 -14 mm for all flaps at 9 months after surgery. All donor sites in the feet and calfs had primary healing, without a contracture or rupture of skin graft or an obvious dysfunction at the donor sites. According to the evaluation criteria of the MHQ, 8 patients were very satisfied with the overall appearance of the hand, and 4 were satisfied. Finger movement was evaluated according to TAM criteria, all 12 fingers were rated excellent.Conclusion:Reconstruction of a fingertip defect with a tibial flap of the second toe with the vascular pedicle including a plantar vein of the second toe has a good clinical efficacy. It has advantages in flap harvest, avoids an extended incision on dorsal foot, and makes a minimal damage to the donor site.

Multi-conjugate vaccine and polyvalent vaccine can reduce the number of vaccinations, improve vaccination efficiency, and provide wider protection against diseases, and can not only brings convenience to recipients but also reduce healthcare costs, making it a key focus in modern vaccine development. However, even if the components of the vaccine are derived from already approved monovalent vaccines, it must still be considered as a new vaccine and undergo randomized controlled clinical trials to evaluate their safety and efficacy in humans. Due to the inclusion of multiple antigens, clinical evaluation must consider the potential interactions between or among the components, as well as the impacts of adjuvants, preservatives, and other ingredients on the vaccines' safety and efficacy. These factors introduce certain specific challenges in the clinical evaluation of multi-conjugate vaccine and polyvalent vaccine. This article summarizes the key elements and methods of clinical study design for multi-conjugate vaccine and polyvalent vaccine in terms of safety, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy, and discuss the problems and challenges exisitng in vaccine clinical evaluation to provide reference for the standardization of clinical study design of multi-conjugate vaccine and polyvalent vaccine.
