Due to patient compliance and convenience, oral medication is likely the most common and acceptable method of drug administration. However, traditional dosage forms such as tablets or capsules may lead to low drug bioavailability and poor therapeutic efficiency. Therefore, with advancements in material science and micro/nano manufacturing technology, various carriers have been developed to enhance drug absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. In this context, we initially discuss the key biological factors that hinder drug transport and absorption (including anatomical, physical, and biological factors). Building on this foundation, recent progress in both conventional and innovative oral drug delivery routes aimed at improving drug bioavailability and targeting is reviewed. Finally, we explore future prospects for oral drug delivery systems as well as potential challenges in clinical translation.

Objective To investigate the expression of YWHAQ protein in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues and its correlation with clinical pathological features and prognosis. Methods A total of 127 patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical surgery were enrolled. Clinical data and postoperative cancer tissue samples were collected from the patients. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein expression of YWHAQ in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues. The relationship between YWHAQ expression and clinical pathological features and prognosis was analyzed. Bioinformatics prediction was performed to identify potential pathways regulated by YWHAQ in gastric adenocarcinoma. A protein-protein interaction network for YWHAQ was constructed using the STRING database. Results YWHAQ gene expression was significantly higher in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues than in normal tissues (P<0.05). The expression level of the YWHAQ protein was significantly correlated with age, tumor invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, and tumor stage (P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with high YWHAQ expression had significantly poorer long-term survival than those with low expression (P<0.0001). Cox regression analysis revealed that high YWHAQ expression and distant metastasis were independent risk factors for gastric cancer (HR>1, P<0.05). Enrichment analysis indicated that YWHAQ positively regulated processes such as cell cycle, angiogenesis, and DNA damage repair. Conclusion YWHAQ is highly expressed in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues and may be associated with the occurrence, invasion, and metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma. High YWHAQ expression and distant metastasis are independent risk factors for the prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma patients.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of microRNA-133a-3p(miR-133a-3p)on invasion and apoptosis of breast cancer cells through targeted regulation of cullin-associated NEDD8-dissociated 1(CAND1).Methods MCF-7 cells were divided into overexpression group(mimics miR-133 a-3p transfection),NC group(mimics control transfection),co-transfection group(mimics miR-133a-3p transfection with pcDNA-CAND1 co-transfection)and control group(only adding the same amount of transfection reagents).Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis,Transwell assay was used to detect cell invasion,and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect miR-133a-3p and CAND1 expression.Results After transfection,the expression levels of miR-133a-3p in control group,NC group,overexpression group and co-transfection group were 0.50±0.08,0.51±0.09,1.06±0.10 and 1.05±0.15,respectively;the expression of CAND1 mRNA were 0.91±0.09,0.91±0.07,0.80±0.10 and 1.21±0.10,respectively.There were statistically significant differences in the above indexes between the co-transfection group and the control group,the NC group(all P＜0.05),and there were statistically significant differences between the overexpression group and the control group,the NC group(all P＜0.05).The apoptosis rates in control group,NC group,overexpression group and co-transfection group were(7.88±1.62)％,(8.87±2.01)％,(53.41±5.46)％,(29.54±3.78)％,respectively.The number of invasive cells in control group,NC group,overexpression group and co-transfection group were 161.02±10.31,155.87±12.30,85.21±9.11 and 118.37±10.84,respectively.There were statistically significant differences in the above indexes between transfection group and overexpression group,control group and NC group(all P＜0.05),and there were statistically significant differences between overexpression group and control group and NC group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Overexpression of miR-133a-3p in human breast cancer cells MCF-7 can inhibit CAND1 and promote apoptosis and invasion of MCF-7 cells.

Tranexamic acid is widely used in joint orthopedic surgery.At the same time,it has high safety and few adverse drug reactions.It can effectively improve intraoperative bleeding and promote early functional recovery of patients.This article reviews the mode of administration,safe dose,administration time and adverse drug reactions of tranexamic acid in the perioperative period of joint replacement and arthroscopic surgery,in order to provide reference for the clinical application of tranexamic acid.

Objective: To explore the relationship of sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties in middle school students, and to analyze its mediating role of daytime dysfunction, social rejection and selfcontrol ability, so as to provide a scientific reference for improving middle school students mental health. Methods: From October to November, 2023, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Adolescent Social Rejection Questionnaire, Brief Selfcontrol Scale and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scaleshort Form (DERS-16) were used to assess 806 students recruited from four middle schools in Bengbu City by a convenient cluster random sampling method. And model-6 of PROCESS and 5 000 Bootstraps were used to make a chainmediating model analysis. Results: Daytime dysfunction was positively correlated with sleep quality(r=0.57), social rejection(r=0.19), selfcontrol(r=0.29, P＜0.01). Selfcontrol was positively correlated with emotional regulation difficulties(r=0.54, P<0.01).Poor sleep quality showed a significant positive association with on daytime dysfunction, and daytime dysfunction further affected social rejection, selfcontrol ability and emotional regulation difficulties (β=0.86, 0.60, 1.27, 1.56, P<0.05). Meanwhile, daytime dysfunction, social rejection and selfcontrol played a serial mediating role in the relationship between sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties (Estimate=0.11,95%CI=0.04-0.20,P<0.05). Conclusion The study reveals the complex relationship between sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties in middle school students and provides a new theoretical basis for adolescent sleep improvement and mental health interventions.

Based on the analysis of the existing problems and implementation dilemmas in family doctor contracting and first-return-visits faced by primary medical institutions in China, the authors propose countermeasures to provide reference for managers of primary health care institutions.

By sorting out the differences and connections between family doctor teams and specialized disease teams, role competency and mutual collaboration, and introducing the learning health system (LHS) mechanism, a comprehensive operating system for community general practice learning organizations based on LHS was constructed, focusing on five single disease types. The system includes a combination of general and specialized medicine that links three levels of medical institutions, thereby opening up the business cooperation process between professionals in different institutions, and establishing a sustainable collaboration mechanism. This allows medical institutions at three levels to continuously tap the potential of their disciplines, achieve their own ability growth and feel higher work value, and also bring better health solutions to residents, guided by the common goal of "health centered, patient centered".
