OBJECTIVE To construct specialized file management and risk warning system for narcotic drugs, and promote the refined management of narcotic drugs in medical institutions. METHODS Through the rational medication management system, patient-indexed narcotic drug medication record information was integrated, pain assessment and rapid dose titration modules were constructed, and a prescription pre-review risk warning model was established. Statistical analysis was conducted on the number of drugs returned by patients, interventions for adverse events related to narcotic drug abuse, patient and physician satisfaction, and patient medication adherence before the system was constructed (January-July 2023) and after its stable operation (January-July 2024). RESULTS After the construction of the system, the number of narcotic drugs returned by patients decreased, except for Morphine tablets. The number of interventions for adverse events related to narcotic drug abuse increased from 0 to 5 cases. The patients’ satisfaction with pain control increased from 46.25% to 67.50%, the proportion of patients with poor adherence decreased from 23.75% to 7.50%, and the overall satisfaction of physicians was 72.41%. CONCLUSIONS The construction of a specialized file management and risk warning system for narcotic drugs enables refined management of narcotic drugs, provides alerts for abnormal prescriptions, reduces patient stockpiling of narcotic drugs, allows timely detection and intervention of adverse events related to narcotic drug abuse, improves physician treatment efficiency and precision, and enhances patient pain control satisfaction and medication adherence.

Establishing a three-generation family cohort enables the investigation of the effects of genetic, epigenetic, lifestyle, and parenting factors in the grandparental (F0) and parental (F1) generations on the growth, development, and disease onset and progression of the offspring (F2). It facilitates further exploration of the biological mechanisms underlying the impact of intergenerational factors on the health of the offspring (F2), providing evidence for the formulation of public health policies and measures related to child health management and infant and young child care. Currently, the development of multi-generational cohorts in China remains in a preliminary stage, with no systematic multi-generational research framework yet established. Drawing on prior evidence-based scientific research, existing cohort studies, and the practical experience of multidisciplinary experts in maternal and child health, this consensus defines the scope of three-generation family cohorts regarding their definition, significance, key technologies, and application scenarios. It provides technical recommendations for establishing relevant cohorts, aiming to support research areas such as the intergenerational transmission of childhood diseases, the maternal intrauterine environment, and the tracing of family rearing environments. This will facilitate the early prevention and control of diseases manifesting in childhood and adulthood, ultimately promoting the comprehensive and healthy development of children.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Guizhi Fulingwan (GFW) against hepatic fibrosis, focusing on elucidating the regulatory effect of GFW on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)/NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-1 (Caspase-1)/gasdermin D (GSDMD) signaling pathway. MethodsForty-two male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly allocated into six groups (n=7): control, model, low/medium/high-dose (0.14, 0.28, 0.56 g·kg-1·d-1) GFW (GFW-L, GFW-M, GFW-H), and Dahuang Zhechong pills (DZW, 1.8 g·kg-1·d-1). The rat model of hepatic fibrosis was induced by intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride. General conditions of the rats were observed. Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were measured. Liver histopathology and collagen deposition were observed through hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Masson's trichrome staining. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was employed to observe structural alterations and damage of cellular ultrastructures including mitochondria. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP, ΔΨm) was detected by flow cytometry. Serum levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA levels of mtDNA and NLRP3 in the liver tissue were quantified by Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The protein levels of key molecules in the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway in the liver tissue were determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group exhibited a decrease in body weight (P<0.01), an increase in liver index (P<0.01), elevations in serum ALT and AST levels (P<0.01), and typical fibrotic features such as disorganized hepatocytes, inflammatory infiltration, and increased collagen deposition in the liver tissue. TEM revealed significant karyotheca degeneration, mitochondrial swelling, endoplasmic reticulum expansion, and organelle efflux in the model group. In addition, the model group showed decreased ΔΨm (P<0.01), up-regulated mRNA levels of mtDNA and NLRP3 (P<0.01) and protein levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, and GSDMD (P<0.01) in the liver tissue, and increased serum levels of IL-1β and IL-18 (P<0.01). Compared with that in the model group, the body weight increased in GFW-L, GFW-M, and DZW groups (P<0.05) and markedly increased in the GFW-H group (P<0.01). The liver index decreased in the GFW groups and DZW group (P<0.01). The serum ALT level declined in the GFW-L group (P<0.05), and the serum ALT and AST levels decreased in the GFW-M, GFW-H, and DZW groups (P<0.01). Histopathological damage and fibrosis were alleviated to varying degrees, and TEM revealed mitigated ultrastructural injuries including mitophagy, mitochondrial swelling, and endoplasmic reticulum expansion in the drug intervention groups. The ΔΨm increased in GFW groups without statistical significance. The mRNA level of mtDNA in the liver tissue was down-regulated in the GFW-M (P<0.05), GFW-H (P<0.01), and DZW (P<0.01) groups. The mRNA level of NLRP3 was down-regulated in GFW-M, GFW-H, and DZW groups (P<0.01). Western blot analysis showed significantly down-regulated protein level of NLRP3 in all the GFW groups and the DZW group (P<0.01). The protein level of GSDMD-N was down-regulated in GFW-H and DZW groups (P<0.01). The protein level of cleaved Caspase-1 was down-regulated in GFW-M (P<0.05), GFW-H (P<0.01), and DZW (P<0.01) groups. In addition, the serum levels of IL-1β and IL-18 declined in GFW-H and DZW groups (P<0.01). ConclusionGFW can suppress pyroptosis to ameliorate CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis, potentially through mitigating mitochondrial damage, inhibiting inflammasome assembly and activation, and blocking pro-inflammatory cytokine release.

ObjectiveTo systematically summarize the relevant pathophysiology underlying muscle fatigue in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). MethodsDatabases including PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, Cochrane Library, EBSCO (CINAHL), CNKI, Wanfang Data and VIP Database were searched from their inception to July, 2025 for basic and clinical studies related to ME/CFS. Multidimensional evidence involving mitochondrial, neuromuscular junction dysfunction, autonomic dysregulation and immune-inflammatory responses was integrated. The role of muscles in the central-immune-metabolic-neural regulatory network and its association with clinical phenotypes were evaluated. ResultsPatients with ME/CFS commonly presented with impaired mitochondrial energy supply, oxidative stress, ion homeostasis disorders, reduced stability of neuromuscular junction transmission, insufficient central drive and postural intolerance. These abnormalities resulted in a predisposition to cross the anaerobic threshold and trigger post-exertional malaise. ConclusionMuscle pathophysiology plays a critical role in the pathogenesis and symptom persistence of ME/CFS. Rehabilitation practice should prioritize safety boundaries to avoid post-exertional malaise.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cell therapy offers promising new avenues for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, several challenges hinder its full potential. Firstly, the high heterogeneity of hepatocellular carcinoma results in a lack of ideal targets, complica-ting the ability of CAR cells to specifically recognize and effectively eliminate tumor cells. Secondly, the immunosuppressive microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma, characterized by regulatory T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, diminishes the efficacy of CAR cell therapy, further affecting treatment efficacy. Additionally, safety concerns such as cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity remain significant obstacles to clinical application. Finally, the high cost and complex manufacturing processes involved in CAR cell therapy present major barriers to its widespread use. Future research should focus on optimizing target selection, particularly by identifying hepato-cellular carcinoma specific molecular markers; improving CAR cells resilience in immunosuppre-ssive environments; enhancing safety protocols; and streamlining production methods to reduce costs. Addressing these critical issues will facilitate the broader application of CAR cell therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma and other solid tumors, paving the way for a paradigm shift in cancer treatment. Based on relevant literature and combined it with clinical practice, the authors explore the prospects and challenges of CAR cell therapy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, aiming to provide new ideas for its clinical application.

This study aims to analyze the screening results and epidemiological characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City, through the implementation of a preliminary prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening based on a community-linkage model, and to explore an effective screening approach. A retrospective observational study design was employed to collect data from residents who underwent PSA screening at Songjiang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, in collaboration with multiple community health service centers in Songjiang District, Shanghai City, between June 2022 and June 2024, through free clinics and annual health examinations. Prostate biopsy was recommended for individuals with total PSA (tPSA) levels >10 ng/ml and those with 4 ng/ml≤tPSA≤10 ng/ml and abnormal free-to-total PSA (f/tPSA) ratios. Clinical characteristics of detected PCa patients were analyzed. Follow-up was conducted through phone calls and home visits by family doctors, coupled with enhanced health education. The results indicated that a total of 17 198 residents participated in the screening, among which 2 234 (12.99%) had tPSA levels between 4 ng/ml and 10 ng/ml, and 257 (1.49%) had tPSA levels >10 ng/ml. Ultimately, 417 residents underwent prostate biopsy, with 171 being diagnosed with PCa, yielding a positive biopsy rate of 41.00% and a PCa detection rate of 0.99%. The predominant pathological subtype among PCa patients was adenocarcinoma (168 cases, 98.24%). Of the 146 PCa patients who received treatment, the majority were classified as intermediate or high-risk (124 cases, 84.93%). Furthermore, with the optimization of the screening model, there was a significant increase in the proportion of subsequent outpatient visits. In conclusion, the community-linkage-based PSA screening model demonstrated high effectiveness in screening for PCa among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City. Epidemiological findings revealed that PCa patients in this region are primarily composed of intermediate and high-risk groups, highlighting the need for intensified early screening and health education.
