Objective To analyze the characteristics of real-world adverse drug events(ADEs)of trabectedin based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System(FAERS)database in order to provide references for clinical drug safety management.Methods A total of 1 349 trabectedin-related reports were extracted from the FAERS database from Q1 2007 to Q4 2024.Using the MedDRA coding classification system for system organ class(SOC)and preferred term(PT),signal detection was performed through 4 proportional imbalance methods,including reporting odds ratio(ROR)and proportional reporting ratio(PRR).Subgroup analyses by gender,age,and temporal trends were also conducted.Results Hematological and lymphatic system disorders and hepatobiliary system disorders were the primary SOCs involved.High-frequency PTs included neutropenia(123 cases)and anemia(117 cases).Eight potential ADEs that have not been listed in the drug product instruction were identified.The median onset time of ADEs was 21 d,showing an early failure pattern,with differences observed by gender(females more prone to hematological toxicity)and age(elderly more susceptible to febrile neutropenia).Conclusion Trabectedin requires close attention to hematological toxicity,hepatotoxicity,and newly identified multi-system potential risks.Clinically,monitoring should be strengthened based on time windows and population characteristics to optimize drug regimens.Countermeasure It is recommended to strengthen the full cycle monitoring of anti-tumor drugs,standardize the reporting of adverse reactions,and establish a multi-departmental collaborative research platform.

Objective:This current study aims to explore the approaches for constructing a professional clinical research system within the context of research ward development, with the ultimate objective of providing valuable guidance for the establishment and development of proficient clinical research teams.Methods:Through a comprehensive case analysis, integrating the practical experiences from clinical trials conducted in the research ward of a Class-A tertiary hospital in Beijing, along with an extensive review of relevant literature and policy studies, this paper examined the current state of domestic clinical research implementation teams. Subsequently, a series of strategies were devised to build and foster professional clinical research teams and to explore corrective measures for cultivating a dynamic professional clinical research talent ecosystem.Results:The development of full-time clinical research teams in China was rather slow, and there was a lack of mature clinical trial teams training blueprints. Drawing on the practical experience accumulated during the establishment of a professional clinical research team in a leading hospital in Beijing, it was crucial to attach utmost importance to the optimal allocation of human and material resources. This required the systematic training of principal investigators, coordinating researchers, and research assistants, as well as the setting up of a comprehensive support system, an advanced scientific research team, and a quality control unit. Moreover, the standardization of operational models of both domestic and foreign research institutions, along with the implementation of corresponding support and incentive mechanisms, and the strengthening of training and continuing education frameworks were equally significant.Conclusions:During the process of assembling a full-time clinical research team, it is of utmost significance to cultivate professional principal investigators, coordinating researchers, and research assistants. Complemented by the establishment of a comprehensive support team, a scientific research team, and a quality control team, along with corresponding support and incentive mechanisms, this is crucial for constructing a professional clinical research execution team and a sustainable talent ecosystem in the research ward. Eventually, this will drive the efficient and high-quality progress of China's pharmaceutical industry.

Objective:To analyze and predict the epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis B mortality status among Chinese residents from 2006 to 2021 and 2022 to 2027, so as to provide a reference for hepatitis B prevention and control.Methods:The dataset of hepatitis B death cases from 2006 to 2021 published by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention was collected. The age was standardized using the population structure in 2000 as the standard population. The crude mortality rate (CMR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) were calculated for hepatitis B. The epidemiological distribution characteristics of hepatitis B deaths in terms of region, gender, age, and time were analyzed. The Joinpoint regression analysis model was used to analyze the changing trend. The gray model was used to predict the CMR and ASMR of hepatitis B from 2022 to 2027.Results:A total of 77 722 cases died of hepatitis B from 2006 to 2021, with an average CMR and ASMR of 2.69/100 000 and 2.00/100 000, respectively. The ASMR of male and female showed an overall downward trend, with an average annual percentage change (AAPC) of -5.4 (95% CI: -8.1 to -2.7, P<0.001) and -5.7 (95% CI: -8.4 to -3.0, P<0.001), respectively. The ASMR of urban and rural areas showed an overall downward trend, with an AAPC of -5.0 (95% CI: -7.7 to -2.2, P=0.001) and -5.7 (95% CI: -9.0 to -2.4, P=0.001), respectively. The average ASMR of hepatitis B from 2006 to 2021 in western, central, and eastern China was 2.86/100,000, 2.05/100,000 and 1.42/100,000, respectively, and the overall trend was downward. The gray model prediction results showed that the CMR of hepatitis B from 2022 to 2027 among Chinese residents was 2.36/100 000, 2.29/100 000, 2.22/100 000, 2.16/100 000, 2.10/100 000 and 2.03/100 000, respectively, while the ASMR was 1.37/100 000, 1.30/100 000, 1.23/100 000, 1.16/100 000, 1.10/100 000 and 1.04/100 000, respectively. Conclusions:The CMR and ASMR of hepatitis B have a declining trend year by year among Chinese residents, and further progress has been made in the prevention and treatment. The key focus and emphasis of future work should be to strengthen the screening and prevention of hepatitis B in rural areas, western regions, male demographics, targeted preventive and control measure formulations, and the lowering of mortality rates.

OBJECTIVE To study the mechanism of Wenshen Tongdu Recipe in promoting the recovery of motor function in rats with spinal cord injury.METHODS A total of 144 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,predni-sone group,low-dose Wenshen Tongdu Recipe group,medium-dose Wenshen Tongdu Recipe group,high-dose Wenshen Tongdu Recipe group,3BDO group,and 3BDO+Wenshen Tongdu Recipe group(medium dose).The rat spinal cord injury model was estab-lished by modified Allen's method.Intervention began 1 day after modeling,and the drug was administered continuously for 14 days.During the drug administration period,the motor function of the rats in each group was evaluated by Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan(BBB)score and inclined plane test.On the 3rd,7th and 14th days after modeling,the pathological changes of the spinal cord tissues of the rats in each group were observed by HE staining;the expression levels of inflammatory factors IL-1β,IL-6,IL-4 and IL-10 in the serum of the rats in each group were detected by ELISA;the expression of Beclin 1,LC3B and p62 proteins was detected by immu-nohistochemistry;the expression of CD16 and CD206 proteins was detected by immunofluorescence staining;the expression of autoph-agy-related molecules(Beclin 1,LC3B)and Akt/mTOR pathway-related proteins in the spinal cord tissues was detected by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the model group,the BBB score and angle of the inclined board test of rats in the medium-dose Wenshen Tongdu Recipe group were increased,and the disordered arrangement of spinal cord tissue,spinal cord vacuoles and inflam-matory infiltration were significantly improved,especially on the 14th day.Compared with the sham operation group,the expression levels of serum IL-1β and IL-6 in the model group increased(P<0.01),and the expression levels of IL-4 and IL-10 decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01);compared with the model group,the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in the Wenshen Tongdu Recipe group were signifi-cantly decreased(P<0.01),and the levels of IL-4 and IL-10 were significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.01);compared with the Wenshen Tongdu Recipe group,the serum IL-1β and IL-6 concentrations of mice in the 3BDO group increased(P<0.01),and the level of IL-10 decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the sham operation group,the M1/M2 ratio,P62 protein expression,p-Akt/Akt and p-mTOR/mTOR ratios in the spinal cord tissue of the rats in the model group were significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the relative protein expression of Beclin1 was decreased(P<0.01);compared with the model group,the M1/M2 ratio,p-Akt/Akt and p-p70S6K/p70S6K ratios in the Wenshen Tongdu Recipe group were significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the Beclin1 protein level in the 3BDO group was decreased,and the p-Akt/Akt and p-mTOR/mTOR ratios were increased(P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with the Wenshen Tongdu Recipe group,the M1/M2 ratio in the 3BDO group and the 3BDO+Wen-shen Tongdu Recipe group increased(P<0.01),the positive rates of Beclin1 and LC3B proteins in the 3BDO group decreased signifi-cantly(P<0.01),and the p-p70S6K/p70S6K ratio in the 3BDO+Wenshen Tongdu Recipe group increased significantly(P<0.01).CONCLUSION Wenshen Tongdu Recipe may regulate microglial polarization through Akt/mTOR signaling pathway to acti-vate autophagy,promote the secretion of anti-inflammatory factors,reduce the release of pro-inflammatory factors,alleviate neuroin-flammatory response,and thus promote spinal cord injury repair.

Venetoclax (Ven) is now widely used for both acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), yet there is no consensus on salvage regimens after Ven failure. This study retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of selinexor combined with subcutaneous decitabine (DAC) in 10 patients with AML or MDS with excess blasts (MDS-EB1/2) who had experienced prior Ven treatment failure. A literature review was also performed. Among the 7 patients with AML, 1 achieved complete remission (CR), 2 achieved CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), 1 achieved partial remission (PR), 2 had no remission, and 1 experienced disease progression (PD). Among the 3 patients with MDS, 2 achieved marrow CR and 1 had stable disease (SD). The median duration of response among the 6 responding patients was 2 months (range, 0.5-6 months). All 10 patients experienced varying degrees of myelosuppression. Five patients had mild gastrointestinal reactions, all of which were manageable. The overall tolerability was good, and no treatment-related deaths occurred. These findings suggest that selinexor combined with subcutaneous decitabine offers a novel and well-tolerated therapeutic option for patients with myeloid malignancies who have previously failed venetoclax-based therapy.

Objective To investigatethe relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms and clinicopathological characteristics, p53 expression, and survival of Chinese patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. Methods A total of 3882 patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma, 970 matched patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and 970 matched patients with gastric cardia adenocarcinoma were included to compare the incidence of GERD symptoms. Patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma were divided into two groups according to the presence and absence of GERD symptoms. The differences in clinicopathological characteristics and p53 expression between the two groups were compared by chi-square test, and the differences in survival between the two groups were compared by landmark analysis. Results The incidence of GERD symptoms increased successively in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma. In patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma, the proportions of male, less than 65 years old, lower thoracic tumors, tumors without squamous cell carcinoma, poorly differentiation, early tumors (stage 0-I), and p53-positive tumors in the group with GERD symptoms were higher than those in the group without GERD symptoms; moreover, the long-term survival (≥15 years) was better. Conclusion GERD symptom is an important clinical sign of esophageal adenocarcinoma. It is closely related to specific clinicopathological characteristics, p53 overexpression, and good long-term prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of moxibustion at "Feishu" (BL13) and "Xinshu" (BL15) on the circular RNA of exon 2-5 of the Pan3 gene (circPAN3), forkhead box O3 (FOXO3), and Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B19kDa-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) in rats with chronic heart failure (CHF), and explore the potential mechanisms of moxibustion in alleviating myocardial fibrosis. METHODS: Ten rats of 60 male SPF-grade SD rats were randomly assigned into a normal group. The remaining rats underwent left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) ligation to establish the CHF model. Forty successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into a model group, a moxibustion group, a rapamycin (RAPA) group, and a moxibustion+RAPA group, with 10 rats in each group. The moxibustion group received mild moxibustion at bilateral "Feishu" (BL13) and "Xinshu" (BL15), 30 min per session. The RAPA group received intraperitoneal injection of the autophagy activator RAPA (1 mg/kg). The moxibustion+RAPA group first received RAPA injection, followed by mild moxibustion at bilateral "Feishu" (BL13) and "Xinshu" (BL15). All interventions were administered once daily for 4 consecutive weeks. After the intervention, cardiac ultrasound was used to measure ejection fraction (EF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (FS). Serum placental growth factor (PLGF) level was determined by ELISA. Myocardial tissue morphology and collagen volume were assessed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Masson's trichrome staining. The expression levels of circPAN3, FOXO3, and BNIP3 mRNA in myocardial tissue were detected by real-time PCR, while FOXO3 and BNIP3 protein expression levels were analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with the normal group, the model group exhibited myocardial cell disorder, severe fibrosis, and increased collagen volume (P<0.01), along with significantly decreased EF, FS, and circPAN3 mRNA expression in myocardial tissue (P<0.01), and the serum PLGF level, as well as FOXO3 and BNIP3 mRNA and protein expression in myocardial tissue were increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the moxibustion group showed reduced myocardial fibrosis, decreased collagen volume (P<0.01), increased EF, FS, and circPAN3 mRNA expression in myocardial tissue (P<0.01), and decreased serum PLGF level as well as FOXO3 and BNIP3 mRNA and protein expression in myocardial tissue (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the RAPA group showed further deterioration in these parameters (P<0.01). Compared with the RAPA group, the moxibustion+RAPA group exhibited alleviation of myocardial fibrosis, reduced collagen volume (P<0.01), increased EF, FS, and circPAN3 mRNA expression in myocardial tissue (P<0.01), and decreased serum PLGF level as well as FOXO3 and BNIP3 mRNA and protein expression in myocardial tissue (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Moxibustion could alleviate myocardial fibrosis in CHF rats, possibly through upregulation of myocardial circPAN3 expression, downregulation of FOXO3 and BNIP3 expression, and inhibition of excessive myocardial autophagy.

Objective The prevalence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains is exacerbating the global burden of tuberculosis (TB), highlighting the urgent need for new treatment strategies for TB. Methods The recombinant adenovirus vaccine expressing cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) phosphodiesterase B (CnpB) (rAd-CnpB), was administered to normal mice via mucosal immunization, either alone or in combination with drug therapy, to treat Mtb respiratory infections in mice.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of antibodies in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Real-time quantitative PCR was performed to assess the transcription levels of cytokines interferon γ(IFN-γ) and interleukin 10(IL-10) in mouse lungs. Flow cytometry was used to determine the proportions of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cell subsets in the lungs and spleens. ELISA was employed to measure the levels of cytokines IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-10, inflammatory factors IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) secreted by spleen cells following antigen stimulation. The bacteria loads in the lungs and spleens of Mtb-infected mice were enumerated by plate counting methods. Resluts Intranasal immunization with rAd-CnpB induced high titers of IgG in mouse serum and the production of IgG and IgA in BALF, along with alterations in T lymphocyte subsets in the lungs and spleens. Administration of rAd-CnpB, either alone or in combination with drugs, to Mtb-infected mice significantly increased serum IgG levels as well as IgA and IgG levels in BALF. rAd-CnpB immunization promoted the secretion of CnpB-specific cytokines and inflammatory factors by splenocytes in Mtb-infected mice. However, rAd-CnpB immunotherapy, either alone or combined with drugs, did not significantly affect the bacterial loads in the lungs and spleens of mice with Mtb respiratory infections. Conclusion Mucosal immunization with rAd-CnpB induced significant mucosal, humoral and cellular immune responses in mice, and significantly enhanced CnpB-specific cellular immune responses in Mtb-infected mice.
