OBJECTIVE To mine and analyze adverse event signals associated with inebilizumab, and to provide reference for safe and rational clinical use. METHODS Reports of adverse event related to inebilizumab were collected from the FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS) database, from Q2 2020 to Q4 2024. Adverse events were standardized and categorized according to the preferred term (PT) and system organ class (SOC) of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) version 26.0. Signals were mined using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method and the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) method. RESULTS A total of 783 adverse event reports with inebilizumab as the primary suspected drug were identified, involving 297 patients. Most reports originated from the United States and Japan, with physicians being the primary reporters. Female patients outnumbered males, and the most common age group was 45-64 years. Using the ROR method and BCPNN method, a total of 29 valid adverse event signals were detected, involving 12 SOCs and comprising 225 adverse event reports. The five most frequently reported PTs were headache, nausea, fatigue, infectious pneumonia and arthralgia. The five PTs with the strongest signal intensity were: B-cell recovery, decreased blood immunoglobulin G, spinal compression fracture, COVID-19 and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Among the 29 valid signals for adverse event, 19 were not documented in the drug package inserts, involving 10 SOCs and comprising 107 adverse event reports. These encompassed nervous system disorders, general disorders and administration site conditions, eye disorders, among others. CONCLUSIONS Inebilizumab treatment not only causes adverse events documented in the product information, such as infections, immunoglobulin reduction and infusion-related reactions but also leads to potential signals, including B-cell recovery, spinal compression fracture. When using this drug in clinical practice, the patient’s risk of infection and baseline immune status should be assessed, relevant indicators should be closely monitored, and targeted preventive measures should be considered when necessary.

Diabetic nephropathy (DKD), as a common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), is a major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Its clinical manifestations include increased urinary protein excretion, thickening of the glomerular basement membrane, and renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis. The pathogenesis of DKD is complex and involves multiple factors, including disordered glucose metabolism, hemodynamic alterations, and oxidative stress. Although modern medical approaches can alleviate certain symptoms, they still have limitations such as insufficient therapeutic targeting and prominent adverse effects. The transforming growth factor-β/Smad (TGF-β/Smad) signaling pathway is not only a tissue fibrosis pathway that has attracted considerable attention in recent years, but also regulates multiple protein molecules, including the glomerular podocyte slit diaphragm protein Podocin, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), thereby participating in various pathological processes and ultimately mediating renal injury. Flavonoid compounds, owing to their sustained pharmacological effects, broad spectrum of action, and high safety profile, have become ideal candidates for targeted therapy research in DKD. Existing studies have shown that these compounds can exert inhibitory effects on renal fibrosis, alleviate inflammatory responses, protect podocytes, and reduce oxidative stress by regulating the interactions between the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway and the aforementioned protein molecules, thereby maintaining renal structure and function, reducing proteinuria, and significantly improving DKD lesions. This review briefly outlines the composition and functions of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway, elucidates the mechanisms by which this pathway regulates DKD, and focuses on summarizing major studies from the past decade on flavonoid-based interventions in DKD through targeted inhibition of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. Furthermore, it discusses the considerable therapeutic potential of flavonoids in the treatment of this disease, aiming to provide a scientific basis for future clinical prevention and treatment of DKD and to promote the development of targeted drugs.

Abstract
To promote the mental health of college students and build campus based psychological support system, the study explains that current applications of digital health interventions (DHIs) include independent forms based on a single technology or platform, as well as integrated forms that combine multiple digital technologies with traditional mental health services. These interventions have positive effects on alleviating negative emotions among college students, enhancing psychological resilience, improving quality of life, and ameliorating academic performance. However, differences still exist in the stability of intervention effects. Future development requires continuous improvement in institutional construction, ethical governance and capacity building.

Microgravity-induced cardiac remodeling presents a substantial challenge that constrains the advancements in the international space industry,which mainly manifests as alterations in the morphology,structure,and function of the heart.This paper analyzed the core pathogenesis and treatment of microgravity-induced cardiac remodeling based on the theory of"yang transforming qi and yin forming shape"in Huangdi Neijing."Yang transforming qi"reflects the changes in cardiac function,whereas"yin forming shape"reflects the changes in cardiac morphology and structure.Based on the basic and clinical research of space cardiac dysfunctions,the core pathogenesis of microgravity-induced cardiac remodeling is the insufficiency of"yang transforming qi",accompanied by yin excess and yang deficiency due to excessive"yin forming shape"in the early stage,which evolves into deficiency of both yin and yang in the late stage.Thus,this paper specifically refined the treatment methods and corresponding formulas,including warming viscera yang to transform qi,draining yin blood to restore yang qi,and consolidating yin and yang to nourish primal energy.These insights provide systematic theoretical support and conceptual inspiration for the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of microgravity-induced cardiac remodeling.
