Objective To compare and analyze the changes in the use of lung cancer therapeutic drugs before and after the national initiation of health insurance negotiations, and to study the impact of a series of policies on the use of lung cancer drugs. Methods Descriptive statistical methods were used analyze the basic situation of lung cancer patients and the changes of corresponding therapeutic drugs in Peking University People's Hospital from 2014 to 2020, as well as to the hospital procurement data of lung cancer therapeutic drugs in the database of the Chinese Medicine Economic Information. Results From 2014 to 2020, the total cost per capita of lung cancer patients showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, increasing before the national drug negotiation and gradually decreasing after the negotiation. After 2017, the use of small ATC categories such as VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors increased significantly, along with a rise in the number of monoclonal antibody varieties. The DDDs of osimertinib, anlotinib, alectinib, crizotinib and other drugs in the medical insurance list increased significantly, and the average daily cost decreased significantly. Conclusion The number of hospitalization days for lung cancer patients had continued to shorten in recent years, and the structure of drug use had changed significantly. The adjustment of the medical insurance catalog had led to more innovative lung cancer drugs showing the trend of volume up and price down.

Objective: To develop a convenient, direct, and highly sensitive method for screening trace chemical additives in complex Chinese patent medicines, thereby addressing core technological bottlenecks in pharmaceutical analysis and quality control. Methods: A brush ionization probe device was independently designed and constructed, and an efficient detection method was established through systematic optimization of key parameters. Twenty-three Chinese patent medicine samples, representing 6 dosage forms (capsules, tablets, pills, granules, powders, and liquid preparations), were analyzed using 10 common chemical additives as target analytes. Results: All samples were successfully analyzed without complex pretreatment, and 5 chemical additives were detected in 7 Chinese patent medicines. The brush ionization probe device exhibited cost-effectiveness (~0.2 USD per probe), operational simplicity, rapid analysis (~10s per sample), high efficiency, and minimal reagent consumption (~10 μL per sample). Conclusion: This advancement is expected to provide an innovative scientific tool for improving the generality and convenience of on-site quality control, while promoting technological progress in disciplines such as pharmacology and traditional Chinese medicine.

Puerariae Lobatae Radix and Puerariae Thomsonii Radix are the dried roots of Pueraria lobata and Pueraria thomsonii of the Leguminosae family， respectively. Since their separate inclusion in the 2005 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China， the two herbs have been individually recorded. Although they share the same functions and indications， the required content of puerarin differs by a factor of up to eightfold between them. The current quality standard relies solely on a single indicator， puerarin， which fails to reflect the correlation between chemical constituents and core therapeutic effects. This has resulted in prominent issues of mixed use in clinical practice and production， thereby constraining the high-quality development of the industry. Modern research has demonstrated that Puerariae Lobatae Radix contains a comprehensive range and higher content of isoflavonoid constituents， while Puerariae Thomsonii Radix is rich in starch and polysaccharides. Puerariae Lobatae Radix exhibits stronger effects in antipyresis， cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protection， and central analgesia， while Puerariae Thomsonii Radix demonstrates greater advantages in anti-inflammation， hypoglycemia， and peripheral analgesia. Based on this， the chemical material bases of Puerariae Lobatae Radix and Puerariae Thomsonii Radix at both the macromolecule and micromolecule levels were systematically reviewed and compared. The pharmacodynamic material bases and mechanisms of action underlying their three core therapeutic effects， namely "relieving exterior syndrome and clearing heat"， "promoting fluid production to quench thirst"， and "dredging channels and activating collaterals"， were summarized. The most highly correlated common metabolic pathway shared by both herbs for these three therapeutic effects is the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway， and their common core target is prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 （PTGS2）. This review provided clinical application recommendations based on the therapeutic differences between the two herbs， elucidated the scientific connotation of their "same origin but different effects"， and， grounded in the quality marker （Q-Marker）， proposed the concept of efficacy-related Q-Marker based on "substance-efficacy-syndrome" association， as well as a novel strategy for efficacy-oriented quality evaluation. Preliminary screening of quality markers associated with different therapeutic effects was also conducted. This study aims to provide critical scientific evidence for the precise clinical application of Puerariae Lobatae Radix and Puerariae Thomsonii Radix， the improvement of quality standards， and the high-quality development of the industry.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of sex on phenotypic stability in mouse models of chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) induced by cyclophosphamide (CYP) or paclitaxel (PTX), and to explore potential mechanisms underlying phenotypic heterogeneity in female mice. MethodsTwenty-eight wild-type specific pathogen-free (SPF) C57BL/6J mice (half male and half female) aged 6-8 weeks were selected for synchronous back hair removal. On the 9th day after hair removal (T0), the mice were randomly divided into a wild-type female CYP group, a wild-type male CYP group, a female negative control group and a male negative control group. Mice in the CYP groups were intraperitoneally injected with a single dose of 120 mg/kg CYP, and mice in the negative control groups were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of normal saline. Subsequently, the phenotypic changes of the CIA model induced by CYP were continuously observed and photographed. Eleven 6-week-old SPF female C57BL/6J mice underwent bilateral ovariectomy (OVX group). Following successful surgery, these mice and five XY (Sry⁻) mice bred from Four Core Genotypes breeding stock were used to establish the chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) model using the same protocol. Serum was collected from mice in the OVX group, wild-type female CYP group, and wild-type male CYP group on T7 after CYP administration for steroid hormone analysis by mass spectrometry to evaluate the effects of gonadal estrogen and sex chromosome background changes on the stability of the CYP-induced female alopecic phenotype. Finally, twenty SPF C57BL/6J mice aged 6-8 weeks (half male and half female) were randomly divided into a PTX low-dose group and a PTX high-dose group. On the 9th day after simultaneous hair removal, PTX was injected intraperitoneally at a single dose of 80 mg/kg or 120 mg/kg, respectively. Mice from the PTX low-dose group and the PTX high-dose group were continuously observed and photographed to compare the intra-group consistency of the phenotypes of female and male mice. Six SPF C57BL/6J mice (half male and half female) aged 6-8 weeks were used to repeat the construction method of the PTX low-dose group, and the hair follicle histological examination was performed at T0, T4, T7, T14 and T21, respectively, to observe the damage caused by PTX to hair follicle regeneration. ResultsThe phenotypes of CYP-induced male CIA mice are stable and reproducible. There are obvious individual differences in the alopecia phenotype in the CYP-induced female CIA model mice, which may be mainly caused by the differences in the relevant estrogens in the estrous cycle. The difference between OVX+CYP group and XY (Sry⁻) +CYP group disappeared, suggesting that ovarian-derived hormones and XY (Sry⁻) sex chromosome background may be involved in the formation of phenotypic heterogeneity of CYP-induced alopecia in female mice. The mice in the high-dose PTX group and the low-dose PTX group showed a relatively consistent alopecia and regrowth process, and there was no significant sex difference. ConclusionCYP-induced CIA is strongly influenced by sex, and ovariectomy or alteration of the sex chromosome background can improve the consistency of CYP-induced alopecic phenotypes in female mice. PTX-induced CIA shows good phenotypic consistency in both female and male mice, indicating broad applicability across sexes. Taken together, the choice of animal sex in CIA model construction, mechanistic studies, and evaluation of anti-alopecia interventions should take into account the type of chemotherapeutic agent, the study objective, and the required degree of phenotypic stability. Sex should therefore be considered an important variable in model standardization and interpretation of experimental findings.

[Objective] To establish a method for detecting the potency of recombinant human coagulation factor Ⅶa for injection. [Methods] By adding the sample and factor Ⅶ deficient plasma to the sample cup and activating the reaction with prothrombin time assay reagent (PT reagent), the coagulation time of the sample was determined by the change in magnetic bead swing amplitude in the sample cup. The logarithm of coagulation time was inversely proportional to the logarithm of human factor Ⅶa potency. [Results] Under the experimental conditions, the specificity of the methodology was evaluated through spiked recovery, and the recovery rates ranged from 90.0% to 110.0%. Within the range from 0.125 to 1.000 IU/mL, there was a good linear response between the potency and coagulation time of the standard and sample, with correlation coefficients r>0.99. As for the accuracy and repeatability, the recovery rates of various concentrations detected in the stock solution were 101.0%, 100.0% and 112.0%, respectively, with RSD values of 2.6%, 4.0% and 0.0%, respectively. The recovery rates of various concentrations in finished product testing were 104.0%, 94.7% and 112.0%, respectively, with RSD values of 1.9%, 2.4% and 0.0%, respectively. As for the intermediate precision, the RSD were 4.5% and 3.7%, respectively. After treated with sample diluent, the sample was tested at room temperature for 6 hours and still exhibited relatively stable biological activity. [Conclusion] This detection method is accurate, stable, easy to operate and highly automated, and is suitable for detecting the potency of recombinant human coagulation factor Ⅶa for Injection.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of LY01011,a recombinant anti-RANKL fully human monoclonal antibody injection,versus denosumab in the treatment of bone metastases from solid tumors.Methods:A randomized,double-blind,positive drug parallel-controlled,multicenter clinical trial was conducted.A total of 850 subjects were randomly assigned(1:1)to either the experimental group(424 subjects)or the control group(426 subjects).The experimental group received 13 doses of LY01011,while the control group received 3 doses of denosumab followed by 10 doses of LY01011.Results:The primary efficacy endpoint was the natural logarithmic change from baseline in urinary N-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen corrected by urinary creatinine(uNTX/uCr)at week 13.The change was-1.740(0.042 0)in the experimental group and-1.745(0.042 1)in the control group.The least-squares mean difference between groups was 0.005(90%CI:-0.088 to 0.097),indicating no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).Safety profiles,including treatment-emergent adverse events,laboratory tests,vital signs,physical examinations,and electrocardiograms,were comparable between groups(P>0.05).Conclusions:LY01011 demonstrated biosimilarity to denosumab,with favorable safety profile,tolerability,and potential for clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the investigation and handling process of a suspected outbreak of hospital-ac-quired Serratia marcescens infection in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit(NICU)of a certain hospital,and to pro-vide valuable reference for the prevention and control of hospital-acquired infections.METHODS An epidemiologi-cal investigation was conducted on three S.marcescens-positive neonates admitted to the NICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from Oct.12 to 18,2024.Environmental hygiene sampling was carried out on the surfaces of the ward.The homology of the strains was analyzed,and effective intervention measures were taken.RESULTS The incidence of S.marcescens sepsis in the NICU from Oct.12 to 18,2024 was 2.20％(2/91)compared to 2.35％in the same period of 2023(2/85),no significant difference was found between the two time periods(P=0.946).Among the three S.marcescens-positive NICU neonates,one was considered com-munity-acquired,while the other two were diagnosed with S.marcescens sepsis.A total of 59 environmental hy-giene samples were collected,with one sample detecting S.marcescens in the bedside infusion pump slot of case 1.The homology analysis results showed high homology among the four S.marcescens strains but not completely homologous.After effective preventive and control measures were implemented,suspected S.marcescens cluste-ring events didn't further occurred.CONCLUSION The occurrence of this incident may be attributed to inadequate cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces and improper hand hygiene practices by some medical staff.

Objective:To investigate the clinical pathological features, immunophenotypes, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) with trophoblastic differentiation in males, and to improve the understanding of this rare disease.Methods:The clinical and pathological features of 16 NSCLC with trophoblastic differentiation in males diagnosed in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital from January 2017 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Relevant literature was reviewed.Results:All 16 patients were male, with an onset median age of 66.5 (56.8, 68.8) years. They had no known personal history of cancer. Among the 8 resected NSCLC with trophoblastic differentiation, 3 showed concurrent lung adenocarcinoma, and 1 showed concurrent lung squamous cell carcinoma. Among the 10 patients who underwent serum β human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) testing after the surgery or biopsy, 7 had significantly increased β-HCG. On gross examination, the tumors were hemorrhagic and necrotic, resembling a hematoma, with a medium texture, clear boundaries and no capsules. At low magnification, tumor cells were arranged in a nested or solid pattern. Those cells often showed massive bleeding, necrosis, and vascular infiltration. They were composed of two types of cells, namely cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast cells. At high magnification, the tumor cells showed large nuclei and hyperchromatia. They also had rich purple blue to bichromatic cytoplasm, eosinophilic nucleoli, and sometimes bizarre nuclei. The syncytiotrophoblast cells expressed β-HCG, CKpan, GATA3, CD10, and SALL4. Fourteen patients were followed up for 1-37 months. Two of them died, while three showed distant metastasis.Conclusions:NSCLC with trophoblastic differentiation in males is a rare and highly malignant tumor, poorly understood with difficulty in diagnosis. It requires comprehensive histological analysis in combination with clinical and imaging studies. Properly diagnosing this disease relies on recognition of its histopathological characteristics, including large areas of bleeding and necrosis, large and peculiar syncytial trophoblast cells, and varying degrees of β-HCG expression. It seems that β-HCG expression is very valuable for diagnosing this rare tumor.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.
