Objective:
To analyze the status and trends of the disease burden of periodontal disease among women of reproductive age (15-49 years) in China from 1990 to 2021, and to provide a reference for the development of periodontal disease prevention and control strategies for women of reproductive age.
Methods:
Using the global burden of disease (GBD) data from 1990 to 2021, this study investigated the periodontal disease burden among women of reproductive age, including prevalence, incidence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), DALY rates, and their corresponding standardized indicators. Joinpoint 5.2.0.0 software was used for time trend analysis of DALYs, age-specific DALY rates, and annual average percentage change (AAPC) values. A log-linear regression model was used to test trends for DALYs and DALY rates.
Results:
Compared with 1990, the prevalence and incidence of periodontal disease among Chinese women in 2021 increased by 45.67% (per 100,000 people) and 29.29% (per 100,000 people), respectively. The distribution of periodontal disease among women (15-49 years) showed a continuous and rapid upward trend, with the growth rate increasing rapidly with age. The number of cases increased the fastest in the 45-49 age group, and the prevalence increased the fastest in the 35-44 age group. The incidence of periodontal disease continued to rise with age, with the fastest increase in the 35-44 age group among women of reproductive age. The Joinpoint regression model results showed that periodontal disease led to an expanding trend in the disease burden among women of reproductive age in China, with an AAPC of DALYs = 1.20% and an AAPC of DALY rate = 1.25% (P<0.001).
Conclusion
The periodontal disease burden among Chinese women aged 15-49 years showed a gradually increasing trend from 1990 to 2021.

Most patients with pancreatic cancer are already in the locally advanced or metastatic stage at initial diagnosis. While systemic chemotherapy provides clinical benefits for those with mid-to-late-stage pancreatic cancer, its efficacy is often limited by patient tolerance. In response to the dual clinical demands of robust antitumor activity and high targeting specificity, antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) has emerged as a promising solution. By conjugating highly selective monoclonal antibodies with potent cytotoxic small-molecule drugs, ADC achieves precise tumor-targeting while minimizing damage to healthy tissues, which thereby improves treatment tolerance. However, due to the complex pathological features of pancreatic cancer, no ADC has yet been approved for clinical use for this disease. A comprehensive evaluation of factors including ADC-specific targets, payload selection, antibody-drug linkage strategies, drug delivery mechanisms, tissue distribution variability, and tumor heterogeneity will be crucial to advancing the clinical translation of ADC for pancreatic cancer treatment.

Objective:To systematically review the current registered clinical study schemes in China regarding the combination of TCM and targeted drug therapy for lung cancer; To analyze their strengths and weaknesses; To provide reference for future study.Methods:Chinese Clinical Trial Registry for clinical study schemes combining TCM with targeted drug therapy for lung cancer treatment was retrieved from the inception to July 10, 2024. The general characteristics, study types, intervention measures, and outcome indicators of existing schemes were systematically summarized and analyzed.Results:A total of 15 studies were included, with the earliest study registered in 2013. Registration locations were concentrated in Shanghai, Guangdong, Tianjin, and Zhejiang. Among them, 9 studies received funding from local, national finance, or hospitals; 13 studies passed ethical review, and 12 included informed consent. The design schemes included 10 randomized controlled studies, 1 cohort study, 1 interventional single-arm study, and 3 observational studies. 6 studies had a sample size smaller than 100 cases, and most were single-center trials. Intervention measures primarily involved the combination of Chinese patent medicine or TCM with targeted drugs, with evaluation indicators mainly focusing on clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators. The setting of outcome indicators lacked a unified standard.Conclusions:Since 2013, clinical studies combining TCM with targeted drug therapy for lung cancer have been relatively methodologically sound but face challenges such as small sample sizes and a certain degree of regional concentration, leading to relatively insufficient representativeness. The future direction for improvement lies in multi-center, large-sample, and well-designed clinical trials. It is also necessary to establish a standardized and normalized system for evaluating outcomes. Integrating basic research to clarify the mechanisms of TCM can provide a theoretical basis for the combination of TCM and targeted drugs, which is conducive to enhancing the rigor and scientific nature of clinical trial design and promoting the formation of high-level evidence-based medicine.
