Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism, and decoppering therapy and symptomatic treatment are the main Western medicine therapies for WD. This article systematically reviews the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of WD in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and points out that abnormal natural endowment is the core etiology and pathogenesis of WD, with internal accumulation of copper toxicity as the manifestation, liver/spleen/kidney dysfunction as the root cause, and intermingled “toxin, stasis, phlegm, and deficiency” as the key pathogenesis. Literature research and clinical observation are conducted to summarize the common TCM syndromes of WD, including stagnation of liver Qi, internal retention of damp-heat, phlegm-stasis-heat accumulation syndrome, liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome, spleen-kidney Yang deficiency, and syndrome of deficiency damage and phlegm stasis. This article proposes the corresponding therapies and representative prescriptions for each syndrome and discusses the advantages of treatment by stage and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy. This article aims to provide a systematic reference for the syndrome differentiation-based treatment of WD in clinical practice of TCM, thereby giving full play to the advantages of TCM in the treatment of this disease.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to evaluate the intervention effect of Gandou Fumu Decoction (GDFMD) in treating hepatolenticular degeneration with liver fibrosis of liver-kidney deficiency and phlegm-blood stasis syndrome, thereby providing evidence-based medical evidence for the treatment of Wilson's disease (WD)-related liver fibrosis with traditional Chinese medicine through clinical efficacy analysis. MethodsA total of 70 patients with WD-related liver fibrosis of liver-kidney deficiency and phlegm-blood stasis syndrome meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled from Anhui Provincial Hospital of TCM from October 1, 2023, to October 1, 2024. Participants were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 35 cases in each group. The control group received conventional copper chelation therapy with sodium dimercaptopropanesulfonate (DMPS). On this basis, the observation group was additionally administered GDFMD orally. Each treatment course lasted eight days, for a total of four treatment courses. Efficacy evaluations were performed before treatment and after the second and fourth treatment courses, respectively. The clinical efficacy and safety of GDFMD in the treatment of WD-related liver fibrosis were assessed by comparing the changes in liver stiffness measurement (LSM), liver serological markers [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), type Ⅳ collagen (C-Ⅳ), laminin (LN), N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅲ procollagen (PⅢNP), and hyaluronic acid (HA)], fibrosis index based on 4 factors (FIB-4), AST to platelet ratio index (APRI), unified Wilson's disease rating scale part Ⅱ (UWDRS-Ⅱ), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, 24-hour urinary copper, and safety indicators between the two groups before and after treatment. ResultsCompared with those before treatment, LSM levels decreased in both groups after two and four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of LSM levels in the observation group after two treatment courses, and the improvement of LSM levels in the observation group was more obvious after four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment, the levels of HA, LN, PⅢNP, and C-Ⅳ decreased in both groups after two and four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of the C-Ⅳ levels in the observation group after two treatment courses, and the levels of HA, LN, and PⅢNP were more obvious (P<0.05). After four treatment courses in the observation group, the levels of HA, LN, PⅢNP, and C-Ⅳ were improved more significantly (P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment, ALT and AST levels decreased in both groups after two and four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of ALT and AST levels in the observation group after two treatment courses, and the improvement of ALT and AST levels in the observation group was more obvious after four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment, APRI score and FIB-4 index level decreased in both groups after two and four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those in control group after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of APRI score and FIB-4 index level in the observation group after two treatment courses, and the APRI score in the observation group was more obvious after four treatment courses (P<0.05), with no statistically significant improvement in the FIB-4 index difference. Compared with those before treatment, the levels of TCM syndrome scores decreased in both groups after two and four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with that of the control group after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of the level of TCM syndrome scores in the observation group after two treatment courses, and the improvement of the level of TCM syndrome scores in the observation group was more obvious after four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment, the UWDRS-Ⅱ scores in both groups after two treatment courses were not improved obviously, and the UWDRS-Ⅱ scores in both groups decreased after four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those of the control group after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of the UWDRS-Ⅱ scores in the observation group after two treatment courses, and the improvement of the UWDRS-Ⅱ scores in the observation group after four treatment courses was more obvious (P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment, the 24-h urine copper levels were significantly higher in both groups after two and four treatment courses (P<0.05). Compared with those in the control group after treatment, the 24-h urine copper levels in the observation group were significantly higher after two and four treatment courses (P<0.01). After two treatment courses, the 24-h urine copper level in the observation group showed a gradual decreasing trend, although it was higher than that before treatment. After four treatment courses, the control group had an improvement rate of 91.43%, an effective rate of 34.29%, and an apparent rate of 2.86%. The observation group had an improvement rate of 94.29%, an effective rate of 71.43%, and an apparent rate of 8.57%. The efficacy of the observation group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion① The efficacy of GDFMD combined with DMPS therapy in patients with WD-related liver fibrosis of liver-kidney deficiency and phlegm-blood stasis syndrome is significantly better than that of single DMPS therapy, and the advantages of the combined therapy are more obvious with the prolongation of the treatment cycle. ② GDFMD combined with the DMPS therapy program in the long-term application exhibits no obvious adverse reactions with good safety, which is worthy of clinical popularization and application.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of Gandou Fumu Granules (GDFMG) combined with sodium dimercaptosulphonate (DMPS) on liver fibrosis in Wilson disease (WD) patients with the syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis, evaluate its effect on cuproptosis-related indicators, and explore the possible mechanisms of cuproptosis in WD-related liver fibrosis. MethodsSixty WD patients diagnosed with the syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis between January 2023 and December 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 30 patients in each group. The control group received the copper chelator DMPS for the first 6 days, followed by calcium gluconate injection for the next 2 days, completing an 8-day treatment cycle. The observation group received GDFMG in addition to the treatment regimen of the control group, with both groups treated for 21 cycles. A Beckman fully automated biochemical analyzer was used to detect levels of type Ⅳ collagen (CⅣ), hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅲ procollagen (PⅢ-NP), and serum copper (SCu) before and after treatment in both groups. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure levels of ferredoxin 1 (FDX1), lipoic acid synthetase (LIAS), and dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase (DLAT). Atomic absorption spectroscopy measured 24-hour urine copper levels before treatment and after the 7, 14, and 21 treatment cycles in both groups. An Fibro Touch (FT) non-invasive liver fibrosis diagnostic device was used to measure liver stiffness (LSM) in both groups before and after treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score (TCMSS) was evaluated at the same intervals. Clinical efficacy, adverse events, and safety indicators were also compared. ResultsAfter treatment, levels of CⅣ, HA, LN, and PⅢNP significantly decreased in both groups compared to pre-treatment levels (P<0.01). The observation group showed a more pronounced reduction compared to the control group (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in SCu levels in both groups before and after treatment. After treatment, levels of FDX1,LIAS and DLAT significantly increased in both groups(P<0.01). The observation group showed more notable improvements in these indicators than the control group (P<0.05). After the 7, 14, 21 treatment cycles, 24-hour urine copper levels significantly increased in both groups compared to pre-treatment levels (P<0.01). The observation group had a greater increase in 24-hour urine copper levels than the control group after treatment (P<0.05,P<0.01), and although 24-hour urine copper levels increased after 7 cycles, a gradual decline was observed in subsequent cycles. After treatment, LSM levels significantly decreased in both groups compared to pre-treatment levels (P<0.01), with the observation group showing a greater reduction than the control group (P<0.05). Clinical efficacy was significantly better in the observation group than the control group (P<0.05). No significant differences in the incidence of adverse events or safety indicators were observed between the two groups after treatment. ConclusionGDFMG combined with DMPS can reduce LSM in WD patients with liver fibrosis and the syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis, inhibit cuproptosis, and improve clinical efficacy.

ObjectiveThree methods were applied to conduct occupational health risk assessment for the working positions exposed to silicon dusts in a sanitary ceramic manufacturing factory, and the evaluation results were compared to explore the applicability of different occupational health risk assessment methods. MethodsOne large sanitary ceramic product manufacturing enterprise in Songjiang District, Shanghai was selected to conduct occupational health risk assessment for the working positions exposed to silicon dusts, using occupational hazard risk index evaluation method, exposure ratio evaluation method, and International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) quantitative occupational health risk assessment method . The consistency of the evaluation results of the three methods was tested using weighted Kappa method. ResultsFourteen working positions exposed to silicon dusts were identified, and three positions had excessive dust concentration: composite forming position of phase 2 workshop (0.80 mg·m-3), addition forming position of phase 2 workshop (1.00 mg·m-3), and glazing position of 1F in phase 2 workshop (1.50 mg·m-3), with an excessive rate of 21.42%. The occupational hazard risk index evaluation method assessed 6 positions with no harm, 6 positions with mild harm, and 2 positions with moderate harm. The ICMM quantitative occupational health risk assessment method assessed 6 positions with potential risks, 2 positions with tolerable risks, and 6 positions with intolerable risks. The exposure ratio evaluation method assessed 8 positions with medium risk, 5 positions with high risk, and 1 position with extremely high risk. The consistency test results of the three evaluation methods were poor. The Kappa coefficient between the occupational hazard risk index evaluation method and the ICMM quantitative occupational health risk assessment method was 0.15. The Kappa coefficient between the occupational hazard risk index evaluation method and the exposure ratio evaluation method was -0.09. The Kappa coefficient between the ICMM quantitative occupational health risk assessment method and the exposure ratio evaluation method was 0.04. The RR values obtained by the three evaluation methods were significantly correlated: the correlation coefficients between RRICMM quantitative assessment method and RRexposure ratio evaluation method, RROccupational hazard risk index evaluation method and RRICMM quantitative assessment method, RROccupational hazard risk index evaluation method and RRexposure ratio evaluation method were 0.915, 0.604, and 0.594, respectively. The correlation between the assessment result level and CTWA was strong. ConclusionThe occupational hazard risk index evaluation method is suitable for the working positions with low silicon dust exposure concentration, the ICMM quantitative occupational health risk assessment method and the exposure ratio evaluation method are suitable for the positions with high silicon dust exposure concentration, but all these three evaluation methods have limitations. It is more reasonable to use multiple methods at the same time in actual evaluation work.

The seventh article of Measures for the Ethical Review of Biomedical Research Involving Humans (2016) stipulated that medical and health institutions without an ethics committee shall not carry out biomedical research involving Humans. The Opinions on Strengthening the Governance of Ethics in Science and Technology, issued in March 2022, clearly stated that the institutions that do not meet the conditions for establishing a scientific and technological ethics (review) committee should entrust other institutions to conduct the review. The fourteenth article of Measures for Ethical Review of Life Science and Medical Research Involving Humans (2023) proposes that if an institution, which carries out life science and medical research involving humans, has not established an ethics committee or its ethics committee is not competent for ethics review, it can entrust a competent ethics committee or regional ethics committee in writing to carry out ethical review. Most medical institutions at or above the second level in China have set up ethics committees. While most universities and colleges, scientific research institutions, enterprises and grass-roots medical and health institutions have not set up ethics committees, which lack a working system to protect the safety and interests of the participants, and is difficult to conduct life sciences and medical research involving humans. At present, there is a need for some research institutions that do not have the conditions to establish ethics committees to entrust their projects of life science and medical research involving humans to other institutions for ethical review. The entrusted review is still in the exploratory stage, and there is no relevant specification. The hasty implementation of entrusted review may not achieve the goal of effectively protecting the safety and interests of the participants, and even cause legal disputes. Based on the thematic discussion, with reference to the relevant laws and regulations, departmental rules, ethical standards, and the experience of the ethics committees of some domestic institutions in implementing the entrusted review, the guideline was formulated for the reference of the current entrusted review to ensure the safety and interests of the participants.

Chinese Medical Ethics 2023;36(5):492-498
The passing of ethical review is a necessary conditions and prerequisite for the development of life science and medical research involving humans. At present, some medical and health institutions have no or insufficient ethical review capabilities. The lack of ethical review ability has become a bottleneck restricting the development of life science and medical research involving humans. According to documents such as Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Review and Approval System and Encouraging the Innovation of Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices, Opinions on Strengthening the Ethical Governance of Science and Technology, institutions can entrust competent institutional ethics review committees or regional ethics review committees in writing to conduct ethical review. Entrustment ethical review provides a viable solution for institutions that need to carry out life science and medical research involving humans but do not have an ethics (review) committee or the ethics (review) committee is not competent to review. To conduct the entrustment ethical review, the entrustment between the principal and the trustee is required. According to The Measures for Ethical Review of Life Sciences and Medical Research Involving Humans, if medical and health institutions and their ethical review committees do not accept the formal entrustment to provide the ethical review opinions for other institutions, the local health authorities at or above the county level will impose administrative penalties and sanctions on the relevant institutions and personnel in accordance with the law. Signing the entrustment ethical review contract, implementing legal compliance entrusted ethical review to protect the rights and interests of the trustee and the principal, and protect the research participants.

Objective:To understand the main adverse event (AE) related to denosumab and the risks and provide reference for the safe use of the drug in clinic.Methods:The AE reports on denosumab included in the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System from the second quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2021 were collected, and the AE risk signals was explored using proportional reporting odds ratio ( PRR) method. AEs with ≥3 reports, PRR value ≥2, and χ2≥4 were defined as positive risk signals. AEs were counted and classified using the preferred system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 24.0. The PTs of top 50 adverse event reports and signal intensity were selected and analyzed. Results:A total of 132 764 AE reports with denosumab as the primary suspected drug were collected, involving 5 571 PTs, and 641 positive risk signals were selected. After the second screening, the top 50 PTs in the number of AE reports and the top 50 PTs with great PRR values were obtained, and 93 PTs were included in the analysis after sifting out the repeated, involving 114 617 AE reports. The top 5 PTs in the number of AE reports were off-label use (28.7%, 32 863/114 617), death (14.2%, 16 230/114 617), osteonecrosis of the jaw (6.0%, 6 861/114 617), arthralgia (4.7%, 5 420/114 617), and limb pain (4.1%, 4 727/114 617). The top 5 PTs with the high signal intensity were giant-cell tumour of bone ( PRR=402.7), malignant giant-cell tumour of bone ( PRR=325.2), C-telopeptide increase ( PRR=169.4), exostosis of jaw ( PRR=163.2), and ionised calcium abnormal ( PRR=158.1). The top 5 SOC involving AE reports were injury, poisoning and procedural complications (35.9%, 41 757/114 617), musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders (32.7%, 37 455/114 617), general disorders and administration site conditions (18.2%, 20 814/114 617), surgical and medical procedures (4.1%, 4 744/114 617), and investigations (2.9%, 3 290/114 617). Forty-four PTs were not included in the drug instructions, of which 23 were related to the oral cavity. Conclusions:Denosumab AE with the most reports were off-label use and osteonecrosis of the jaw. The risk signals of osteonecrosis of the jaw and recurrence or deterioration of giant-cell tumor of bone was strong. Most of the AE risk signals that were not included in the instructions are oral problems.
