OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of drug-induced liver injury （DILI） induced by glucagon- like peptide-1 receptor agonists （GLP-1RAs）， and to provide a reference for safe clinical medication. METHODS Using search terms such as “GLP-1”“GLP-1RAs”“semaglutide” “drug-induced liver injury”， relevant studies from PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， CNKI， Wanfang Data and VIP were retrieved. Descriptive analysis was performed on cases of DILI induced by GLP-1RAs. RESULTS A total of 11 studies， comprising 11 patients， were included. Among them， 4 were male （36.4%） and 7 were female （63.6%）. Patient ages ranged from 17 to 64 years； 5 patients （45.5%） were between 50 and 65 years old. Six patients were treated for diabetes， and five for weight loss. Ten patients had underlying diseases. The shortest time to the onset of DILI was 5 days after medication， while the longest was approximately 180 days. The DILIs induced by GLP-1RAs were mainly hepatocellular injury type （6 cases）； severity levels included severe （3 cases）， moderate （6 cases）， and mild （2 cases）. Gastrointestinal symptoms and jaundice were the most common clinical manifestations. The association between DILI and GLP- 1RAs was assessed as “probable” in 10 cases and “possible” in 1 case. All 11 patients improved after drug discontinuation and （or） corresponding treatment. CONCLUSIONS DILI induced by GLP-1RAs is relatively concentrated in patients aged 50-65， with a higher incidence in females. The risk may be further increased in patients with underlying diseases. Clinical use of these agents should enhance pharmaceutical care， including identification of high-risk populations and patient education （especially symptom recognition）. When relevant symptoms appear， the drug should be discontinued immediately， with liver-protective therapy initiated when necessary， to ensure patient safety of drug use.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in the treatment of elderly patients with early gastric cancer.Methods:Ninety-two elderly patients with early gastric cancer admitted to the 923th Hospital of the Joint Service Support Force of PLA from June 2019 to February 2022 were enrolled, and they were divided into ESD group (60 cases) and EMR group (32 cases) according to different surgical methods. The ESD group was treated with ESD surgery, while the EMR group was treated with EMR surgery. The short-term clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared. The gastric function including pepsinogen Ⅰ(PGⅠ), pepsinogenⅡ(PGⅡ), PGⅠ /PGⅡ ratio and the tumor markers including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), and invasion genes within the lesion including vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C), E-cadherin, microtubule depolymerin (Stathmin), Krüppel like factor 4 (KLF4) were detected before and 3 d after surgery. Followed up for 1 year, the recurrence rate and complications between the two groups were compared.Results:All of 92 patients successfully removed the diseased tissue as a whole, and the R0 and R1 resection rate between the two groups had no statistical differences ( P>0.05). At 3 d after surgery, the levels of PG Ⅰand PGⅠ/PG Ⅱin the both groups were higher than those before surgery, and the level of PG Ⅱ in the both groups was lower than that before surgery; the levels of PG Ⅰand PGⅠ/PG Ⅱ in the ESD group were higher than those in the EMR group: (86.50 ± 8.23) μg/L vs. (77.47 ± 7.40) μg/L, 5.29 ± 0.54 vs. 3.65 ± 0.50; the level of PG Ⅱ ratio in the ESD group was lower than that in the EMR group: (16.34 ± 3.05) μg/L vs. (21.20 ± 3.27) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). At 3 d after surgery, the levels of CEA, CA19-9 and CA125 in the two groups were decreased, and the levels of the above indicators in the ESD group were lower than those in the EMR group: (2.42 ± 0.45) μg/L vs. (3.29 ± 0.40) μg/L, (8.55 ± 2.10) kU/L vs. (10.62 ± 2.76) kU/L, (13.75 ± 4.28) kU/L vs. (17.20 ± 4.90) kU/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). At 3 d after surgery, the mRNA expression of E-cadherin and KLF4 in the two groups were increased, and the mRNA expression of VEGF-C, Stathmin in the two groups were decreased, and the mRNA expression of E-cadherin and KLF4 in the ESD group were lower than those in the EMR group: 2.89 ± 0.31 vs. 3.03 ± 0.21, 2.90 ± 0.28 vs. 3.12 ± 0.37, and the mRNA expression of VEGF-C, Stathmin in the ESD group were higher than those in the EMR group: 0.45 ± 0.11 vs. 0.41 ± 0.07, 0.52 ± 0.23 vs. 0.43 ± 0.09, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05).

Objective To report single-center experience on CBA combined with LAAC in treat-ment of AF.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 27 AF patients undergoing one-stop surgery of CBA combined with LAAC in Department of Cardiovascular Diseases of the People's Hospital of Liaoning Provincie from August 2020 to November 2022.The efficacy and safety of the surgery were analyzed.Results There were 22 patients(81.5％)with LAmbre and 5 patients with Watchman(18.5％,including one case of 24 mm Watchman FLX).All the patients achieved complete pulmonary vein isolation,and conversion to sinus rhythm during operation.During a mean follow-up of 30.0±9.2 months,24 patients(88.9％)maintained sinus rhythm at 12-month follow-up,and 22 patients(81.5％)maintained sinus rhythm at 24-month follow-up.TEE at 3 months after operation displayed that all the devices were in good positions and no PDL or DRT was observed.In the 11 patients undergoing cardiac enhanced CT in 12-36 months after surgery,PDL was detected in one patient(9.1％),and uncomplete endothelialisation of the device was observed in another one(9.1％)using the Watchman device.TEE at 26 months revealed one patient(3.7％)of DRT.Conclusion One-stop surgery of CBA combined with LAAC is a feasible treatment option for patients with NVAF and at high risk of stroke.

In the context of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), characterized by dysregulated lipid metabolism in hepatocytes, the quest for safe and effective therapeutics targeting lipid metabolism has gained paramount importance. Sanhuang Xiexin Tang (SXT) and Baihu Tang (BHT) have emerged as prominent candidates for treating metabolic disorders. SXT combined with BHT plus Cangzhu (SBC) has been used clinically for Weihuochisheng obese patients. This retrospective analysis focused on assessing the anti-obesity effects of SBC in Weihuochisheng obese patients. We observed significant reductions in body weight and hepatic lipid content among obese patients following SBC treatment. To gain further insights, we investigated the effects and underlying mechanisms of SBC in HFD-fed mice. The results demonstrated that SBC treatment mitigated body weight gain and hepatic lipid accumulation in HFD-fed mice. Pharmacological network analysis suggested that SBC may affect lipid metabolism, mitochondria, inflammation, and apoptosis-a hypothesis supported by the hepatic transcriptomic analysis in HFD-fed mice treated with SBC. Notably, SBC treatment was associated with enhanced hepatic mitochondrial biogenesis and the inhibition of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/NF-κB pathways. In conclusion, SBC treatment alleviates NAFLD in both obese patients and mouse models by improving lipid metabolism, potentially through enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis. These effects, in turn, ameliorate inflammation in hepatocytes.

Objective:To establish a computer-aided design and 3D printing system for precise implantation of micro implant anchorage, and accurately calibrate the position and direction of micro implant implantation.Methods:A retrospective selection was conducted on 15 patients (30 in total) who underwent micro implant implantation surgery from the Department of Stomatology, the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from November 2019 to November 2021, including 6 males and 9 females, aged (17.1±6.3)years old. The preoperative patient was photographed with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and the collected DICOM data format was output. A 3D scan was performed on the patient′s preoperative analysis model to obtain the STL file of the model scan. The CBCT data and model data were fitted and matched using 3Shape Implant Studio software, and the thickness of the guide plate, the amount of undercut compensation, and the size of the key component collar were designed. The 3D printer was used for printing after resizing. Using the assist method to implant micro implants, CBCT was taken postoperatively to compare the preoperative design with the postoperative results.Results:After fitting the postoperative CBCT with the designed CBCT of the micro implant, it was found that the micro implant was consistent with the preoperative design, maintained a safe distance and parallel to the adjacent tooth root, and did not damage the maxillary sinus and other areas. No detachment of the micro implant anchorage was observed 1 or 3 months after surgery. The application of assisted micro implant anchorage 3D guide plate was reliable, with accurate implantation position and direction, and can be implanted in most parts of the oral cavity.Conclusions:The use of computer-aided design and 3D printing system to create an assistive micro implant anchorage 3D guide plate can accurately locate the position and direction of the micro implant, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
