OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of deucravacitinib in the treatment of moderate- to-severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS Rapid health technology assessment （HTA） reports， systematic reviews （SR）/meta- analyses， and pharmacoeconomic studies on deucravacitinib for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis were identified by searching PubMed， Web of Science， Embase， CNKI， Wanfang data and official HTA websites. The search time frame spanned from database inception to July 2025. After literature screening， data extraction， and quality assessment， the study results were subjected to descriptive analysis and synthesis. RESULTS A total of 14 articles were finally included， consisting of 1 HTA report， 10 SR/meta-analyses， and 3 pharmacoeconomic studies. Regarding efficacy， deucravacitinib demonstrated superior efficacy to both placebo and apremilast， with significantly higher response rates for Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 50/75/90/100， Static Physician’ s Global Assessment 0/1， and Dermatology Life Quality Index 0/1， as well as greater reduction in Psoriasis Symptoms and Signs Diary Score （P＜0.05）. Regarding safety， deucravacitinib was well-tolerated. Although the overall incidence of adverse events （AEs） was higher than placebo， it was not significantly different from apremilast. Moreover， the incidence of serious AEs and the rate of discontinuation due to AEs did not differ significantly from placebo （P＞0.05）. Regarding cost-effectiveness， deucravacitinib proved to be more cost-effective than apremilast across multiple healthcare system perspectives， including those of the United States， Japan， and China. CONCLUSIONS Deucravacitinib exhibits favorable efficacy， safety， and cost-effectiveness in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Additional real-world studies are warranted to further refine its evaluation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the chromosomal characteristics of blastocysts and pregnancy outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome （PCOS）， and to analyze the impact of PCOS on embryonic aneuploidy rate and the risk of miscarriage. MethodsThe retrospective cohort study was conducted on the preimplantation genetic testing（PGT） in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University， including cycles of PGT for aneuploidy（PGT-A） and PGT for monogenic disorders（PGT-M）. The 191 PCOS cycles（PCOS group） were matched with 564 control cycles（control group） using propensity score matching. The oocyte and embryo viability， chromosomal testing results of blastocysts， and cumulative clinical outcomes were compared between two groups. Subgroup analysis was performed by stratifying PCOS patients based on oocyte retrieval （＞20 vs. ≤20）. And the pregnancy outcomes after euploid embryo transfer were compared under different levels of ovarian response. ResultsPCOS group showed a significantly higher rate of aneuploidy per blastocyst compared to control group （21.8% vs. 19.0%， P=0.044）. Clinically， the overall miscarriage rate in the PCOS group was significantly higher than control group （17.2% vs. 10.3%， P=0.024）， even after euploid embryo transfer （17.2% vs. 10.0%， P=0.019）. In the PCOS subgroup with ＞ 20 oocytes ， the miscarriage rate following euploid embryo transfer was dramatically increased compared to control group （21.4% vs. 6.7%， P=0.001）， accompanied by higher risks of early miscarriage （15.7% vs. 5.7%， P=0.011）. Conversely， the PCOS subgroup with ≤ 20 oocytes showed outcomes comparable to control group. ConclusionsPatients with PCOS exhibit a significantly higher rate of blastocyst aneuploidy compared to the control group. Furthermore， PCOS is associated with a marked increase in miscarriage rates following blastocyst transfer， even with euploid embryos， particularly among patients with high ovarian response.

Current research hotspots included data mining, network pharmacology, literature research, syndrome elements, medication law, venturing and bloodletting therapy, calcitonin gene-related peptide, classic prescriptions, nitric oxide, etc. Conclusions:At present, research on TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment for headache mainly focuses on three major sections: acupuncture, moxibustion and massage, clinical efficacy of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, and experience of famous doctors. Future research mainly focuses on data mining, medication law, network pharmacology, syndrome elements, and pathogenesis.

Objective To investigate the impact of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio(NPAR)on coronary lesion severity and short-term major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods The study included 345 newly diagnosed patients with ACS at the Second Hospital Affiliated to Shenyang Medical College from January 2020 to December 2023.NPAR was calculated,and the patients were divided into low,medium,and high NPAR groups using a tertile classification.Clinical data,including the coronary lesion Gensini score(GS),as well as the incidence of MACE during follow-up at various time points within one year,were compared among the three groups.Results The CS was significantly higher in the high NPAR group than in the low and medium groups.Spearman's analysis showed the strongest correlation between NPAR and GS(r=0.427,P＜0.001).Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that NPAR,body mass index,white blood cell count,and age were independent risk factors for increased GS.NPAR greater than 2.013 indicates a good predictive value for the incidence of MACE within 30 days,with the receiver operating cha-racteristic and area under the curve of 0.811.Conclusion The severity of coronary lesions in patients with ACS is positively correlated with NPAR,and a high NPAR can effectively predict the risk of MACE within 30 days.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of dienogest (DNG) and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in the treatment of intrinsic and extrinsic subtypes of adenomyosis.Methods:Totally 232 patients were enrolled in the study who were diagnosed as adenomyosis by ultrasound or pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and were classified into intrinsic and extrinsic subtypes according to different locations of lesions in MRI, treated with DNG (DNG group) or LNG-IUS (LNG-IUS group) in Peking University Third Hospital from July 2019 to December 2023. Clinical data of patients were retrospectively collected to analyze the clinical and imaging characteristics of different MRI subtypes of adenomyosis and whether there were differences in the therapeutic effects of DNG and LNG-IUS.Results:(1) Among the 232 patients enrolled, 129 were intrinsic subtype and 103 were extrinsic subtype. Among the 129 patients treated with DNG, the numbers of intrinsic and extrinsic subtype were 69 and 60, respectively. And among the 103 patients treated with LNG-IUS, the numbers of intrinsic and extrinsic subtype were 60 and 43, respectively. The mean age in DNG group [(37.5±5.6) years] was lower than that in LNG-IUS group [(40.3±4.3) years, P<0.001]. There were no significant differences in other clinical features (all P>0.05). (2) The visual analog scale (VAS) scores of dysmenorrhea and cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) levels in DNG group and LNG-IUS group were significantly decreased after treatment (all P<0.001), and hemoglobin levels were increased (both P<0.01). Compared between the two groups, the VAS score after treatment was lower in DNG group ( P<0.001), and the hemoglobin level was increased more significantly in DNG group ( P=0.016). The complete remission rates of dysmenorrhea in DNG group and LNG-IUS group were 73.0% (89/122) and 29.5% (28/95), respectively ( P=0.039). The incidence of irregular bleeding in DNG group was higher than LNG-IUS group, but there was no statistical significance [62.8% (81/129) vs 52.4% (54/103), P=0.112]. (3) Among patients with intrinsic adenomyosis, the incidence of menorrhagia was significantly higher than in those with extrinsic adenomyosis ( P<0.001), while the incidence and severity of dysmenorrhea were lower compared to extrinsic adenomyosis ( P=0.004, P=0.007, respectively). After treatment with DNG and LNG-IUS, there were no statistically significant differences in VAS scores between patients with intrinsic and extrinsic adenomyosis (all P>0.05). The incidence of irregular bleeding after DNG treatment was 78.3% (54/69) in intrinsic adenomyosis, which was higher than the 45.0% (27/60) observed in extrinsic adenomyosis ( P<0.01). Similarly, the incidence of irregular bleeding after LNG-IUS treatment was 63.3% (38/60) in intrinsic adenomyosis, higher than the 37.2% (16/43) in extrinsic adenomyosis ( P=0.009). (4) DNG treatment ( OR=19.163, 95% CI: 7.564-48.544; P<0.01) and duration of treatment ( OR=1.043, 95% CI: 1.012-1.075; P=0.007) were independent positive factors for complete remission of dysmenorrhea, while VAS score before treatment ( OR=0.654, 95% CI: 0.454-0.942; P=0.023) was negative factor. Intrinsic subtype was an independent risk factor for irregular bleeding ( OR=0.436, 95% CI: 0.235-0.811; P=0.009). Conclusions:DNG demonstrates greater advantages over LNG-IUS in terms of complete relief of dysmenorrhea and the degree of symptom alleviation. The incidence of irregular vaginal bleeding in patients with intrinsic adenomyosis is higher than in those with extrinsic adenomyosis. For patients with extrinsic adenomyosis, particularly those with prominent dysmenorrhea symptoms, DNG treatment offers greater benefits. However, for patients with intrinsic adenomyosis and those with significant menstrual disorders, a more cautious approach is required when selecting progestin therapy, along with enhanced monitoring and management.

Objective:To analyze the differences in the clinical characteristics of patients with adenomyosis of different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) types and the differences in treatment effects after the application of dienogest.Methods:A total of 176 patients with adenomyosis who were admitted to Peking University Third Hospital from June 2017 to February 2023 were included in the study, and all of them were clearly classified by pelvic MRI and treated with dienogest. The clinical characteristics and treatment of the patients were retrospectively collected, and the patients were divided into endogenous type, exogenous type and penetrating type by MRI. The differences in clinical symptoms, imaging features and treatment effect of patients with adenomyosis of different MRI types were analyzed.Results:(1) The percentages of patients with endogenous, exogenous, and penetrating types were 40.9% (72/176), 35.2% (62/176) and 23.9% (42/176), respectively. The proportion of dysmenorrhea in patients with endogenous type (90.3%, 65/72) was significantly lower than those of exogenous type (100.0%, 62/62) and penetrating type (97.6%, 41/42; χ2=7.853, P=0.020), while there was no significant difference between exogenous type and penetrating type ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in menarche time, menstrual cycle and menstrual period among the three types of patients (all P>0.05), there was also no statistically significant difference in the proportion of menstrual abnormalities (including heavy and irregular menstrual bleeding; P>0.05). The proportions of ovarian endometrioma and deep infiltrating endometriosis in exogenous and penetrating types were significantly higher than that in endogenous type (all P<0.05). (2) The pain scores of all patients were significantly lower than those before treatment (all P<0.001), the proportion of patients with exogenous type (62.9%, 39/62) who had complete remission after treatment was higher than those of endogenous type (49.2%, 32/65) and penetrating type (46.3%, 19/41), but there was no significant difference in pain relief (i.e. the variation in the pain scores) between the three types ( P>0.05). (3) Endogenous type ( OR=0.361, 95% CI: 0.147-0.883; P=0.026), failure to apply gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in advance ( OR=0.208, 95% CI: 0.083-0.518; P<0.001), cystic changes ( OR=2.671, 95% CI: 1.108-6.437; P=0.029) and abnormal menstruation ( OR=3.466, 95% CI: 1.464-8.209; P=0.005) were independent risk factors for irregular bleeding after dienogest treatment. Conclusions:(1) There are obvious differences in the clinical characteristics of patients with adenomyosis of different MRI types, and patients with exogenous and penetrating types are more likely to have dysmenorrhea symptoms. (2) Dienogest could significantly alleviate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea in patients with adenomyosis. (3) Endogenous type, failure to take GnRH-a in advance and associated menstrual abnormalities are independent risk factors for irregular bleeding after dienogest treatment.

The applications of nuclear technology in industries, medicine, and other fields have increased the risk of radiation injury. Although some small-molecule drugs for radiation injury treatment have been applied clinically or are in preclinical research, their therapeutic efficacy is significantly limited by short circulation time and rapid metabolism. Nanomaterials have attracted growing attention with their outstanding bioactivity, chemical stability, tissue compatibility, and targeted delivery capabilities, therefore having the promise of offering the potential solutions to the limitations of current small-molecule drugs. However, their biosafety and clinical efficacy require further investigation. This review summarizes the design strategies and classifications of nanomaterials for radiation injury treatment, analyzes current research progress in their therapeutic applications, and introduces nanomaterial-based approaches for enhancing the elimination of internal radionuclide contamination. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of nanomaterials in radiation injury treatment are discussed. This review aims to provide researchers with a comprehensive understanding of recent advances in nanomaterial-based radiation injury therapeutics, thereby promoting further development in this field.

Objective To compare the therapeutic efficacy of sequential therapy with gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist(GnRH-a)combined with dienogest(DNG)versus DNG alone in patients with adenomyosis.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 129 patients diagnosed with adenomyosis by ultrasound and MRI between August 2020 and December 2023.Among them,60 patients received sequential therapy with GnRH-a followed by DNG(combination group)and 69 patients received DNG monotherapy(monotherapy group).There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics,including age,incidence of dysmenorrhea,incidence of menorrhagia,uterine volume,and type of adenomyosis between the two groups(P>0.05).The combination group received subcutaneous injections of leuprorelin3.75 mg every28 d for3 to 6 cycles,followed by oral DNG 2 mg/d for more than 3 months.The monotherapy group received oral DNG 2 mg/d alone for more than 3 months.Treatment outcomes and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The median duration of DNG treatment was 16.0(10.2,26.0)months in the combination group and13.0(6.0,23.0)months in the monotherapy group.The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(Z=-1.587,P=0.113).Both groups showed a significant reduction in dysmenorrhea as measured by the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score,a significant decrease in serum CA125 levels,and a significant increase in hemoglobin levels after treatment compared to before treatment(all P<0.001).There were no significant differences between the two groups(P>0.05).Regarding uterine volume,the combination group showed a trend toward reduction after treatment[146.3(77.6,250.4)cm3 vs.118.4(82.4,233.4)cm3,Z=0.272,P=0.785],while the monotherapy group showed a significant increase in uterine volume compared to before treatment[162.9(110.8,256.0)cm3 vs.187.6(123.7,276.2)cm3,Z=2.945,P=0.003].The incidence of irregular vaginal bleeding in the combination group[50.0%(30/60)]was lower than that in the monotherapy group[75.4%(52/69),χ2=8.914,P=0.003].Conclusions Both sequential therapy with GnRH-a combined with DNG and DNG monotherapy are effective in relieving dysmenorrhoea,reducing CA125 levels,and increasing hemoglobin levels in patients with adenomyosis.However,sequential therapy is associated with a lower incidence of irregular vaginal bleeding compared to monotherapy and demonstrates a potential advantage in controlling uterine volume growth.

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a highly aggressive hematologic malignancy with a poor prognosis, despite advancements in treatment. Many patients struggle with relapse or refractory disease. Investigating the role of the super-enhancer (SE) regulated gene ubiquitin-specific protease 20 (USP20) in T-ALL could enhance targeted therapies and improve clinical outcomes. Analysis of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data from six T-ALL cell lines and seven pediatric samples identified USP20 as an SE-regulated driver gene. Utilizing the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and BloodSpot databases, it was found that USP20 is specifically highly expressed in T-ALL. Knocking down USP20 with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) increased apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in T-ALL cells. In vivo studies showed that USP20 knockdown reduced tumor growth and improved survival. The USP20 inhibitor GSK2643943A demonstrated similar anti-tumor effects. Mass spectrometry, RNA-Seq, and immunoprecipitation revealed that USP20 interacted with hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1A) and stabilized it by deubiquitination. Cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) results indicated that USP20 co-localized with HIF1A, jointly modulating target genes in T-ALL. This study identifies USP20 as a therapeutic target in T-ALL and suggests GSK2643943A as a potential treatment strategy.
