Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell （hUC-MSC） as a cell-based therapeutic strategy have demonstrated significant application potential in the field of intervention for neurodegenerative disease （NDD） due to their advantages such as self-renewal， multi-directional differentiation， and low immunogenicity. hUC-MSC effectively intervenes in the pathological features and neurological functions of various disease models such as Alzheimer disease， Parkinson’s disease， amyotrophic lateral sclerosis， and multiple sclerosis primarily through multiple mechanisms such as homing and differentiation， mediating paracrine actions and releasing exosomes， as well as immune regulation and anti-inflammation. Some clinical studies have also preliminarily verified their safety and effectiveness. Currently， its research still faces challenges such as immune rejection reactions requiring further observation， long-term safety needing evaluation， mechanisms of action not being fully elucidated， and slow progress in clinical trials. Future research needs to establish pharmaceutical standards for hUC-MSC， deepen their pharmacological mechanisms and clinical trials， ultimately providing new and effective drug treatment options for patients with NDD.

Objective To investigate the effects of implant length,diameter,and abutment angle on bone stress distributions around maxillary central incisors,and determine the optimal parameter combination.Methods A three-dimensional(3D)model of the maxilla was reconstructed based on CBCT data.Using an orthogonal table,a total of 16 dental implant 3D models were established,varying in length,diameter,and abutment angle.These models were assembled with the maxillary and rigid-body models.Finite element analysis was performed using the transient dynamics module of ANSYS.Orthogonal experiments and one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA)were conducted on the obtained stress data.Results The implant diameter showed a statistically significant effect on the maximum von Mises stress in cortical bone(P=0.010),while implant length(P=0.229)and abutment angle(P=0.844)did not demonstrate a statistical significance.The optimal parameter combination for cortical bone stress was 5.0 mm implant diameter,12 mm implant length,and 0° abutment angle.In cancellous bone,implant length(P=0.001),diameter(P=0.011),and abutment angle(P=0.013)all had statistically significant effects on the maximum von Mises stress.The optimal parameter combination for cancellous bone stress was 14 mm implant length,5.0 mm implant diameter,and 5° abutment angle.Conclusions Implant diameter significantly affects the stress of both cortical and cancellous bone.Clinically,a larger diameter should be preferred to reduce the stress peak.Implant length is the next most important factor,while abutment angle has the least effect.

Objective:To construct three photosensitive fusion proteins between protein G C3 domain and Avitag for site-spe-cific biotinylation of goat IgG.Methods:DNA sequences of protein G C3 domain with amber codon mutation and C-terminal containing 1,2,3 Avitag were obtained by chemical synthesis,respectively,and sub-cloned into pTXB1 plasmid to construct three fusion pro-tein expression vectors.Three plasmids and pEVOL-pBpF plasmid were co-transformed into competent bacterium E.coli BL21,respec-tively.Target fusion proteins CBpa-Avitag,CBpa-(Avitag)2 and CBpa-(Avitag)3 were prepared using genetic codon extension technology,and were purified by His Trap Chelating HP column,then biotinylated by Avitag/BirA system.Photo-conjugation efficiency,crosslink site and antigen-binding activity of photo-conjugates were investigated by SDS-PAGE,control experiment,and competitive ELISA.Results:Three expression vectors were successfully constructed,and three designed photoactivatable fusion proteins CBpa-Avitag,CBpa-(Avitag)2 and CBpa-(Avitag)3 were successfully expressed with molecular weights consistent with their theoretical values.Heavy-chain conjugation efficiencies of biotinylated fusion protein with goat IgG were 85%with Fc-specific conjugation,and conjugates maintained its antigen-binding activity after photo-conjugation.Conclusion:CBpa-Avitag,CBpa-(Avitag)2 and CBpa-(Avitag)3 fusion proteins are successfully prepared,and mediates by those photosensitive fusion proteins,biotins molecules are conjugated to Fc fragment of goat IgG,results site-specific biotinylation of goat IgG.

Cognitive impairment(CI)is a clinical syndrome characterized by progressive decline in advanced cognitive functions such as memory,thinking,and judgment.Its etiology and pathogenesis are complex,and there is currently a lack of specific drug interventions.Metformin,as a first-line hypoglycemic drug for type 2 diabetes,not only lowers blood glucose levels but also improves CI.This article reviews and summarizes the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of metformin in improving Alzheimer's disease,diabetes cognitive impairment,cognitive impairment after chemotherapy,in order to provide novel insights and approaches for the treatment of CI-related diseases.Studies have shown that the mechanism by which MET intervenes in CI mainly includes regulating β-amyloid protein and tau protein metabolism,reducing insulin resistance,inhibiting neuroinflammation,improving synaptic plasticity,improving mitochondrial dysfunction,regulating gut microbiota and lipid metabolism,etc.Future research needs to be conducted through interdisciplinary collaboration,fully integrating multiple omics data,and combining advanced technologies to further reveal their mechanisms of effect.

Objective:To investigate the current application of blood purification in the treatment of acute poisoning within Jiangsu Province and to evaluate the impact of extracorporeal blood purification on the clinical outcomes of critically poisoned patients.Methods:This multicenter, cross-sectional real-world observational study followed patients presenting with poisoning to the emergency departments of nine hospitals in Jiangsu Province between June 2015 and May 2019. Data were collected on demographic characteristics, vital signs within the first hour of emergency presentation, treatment modalities, length of hospital stay, and survival outcomes. Clinical data from patients who underwent extracorporeal blood purification were compared with those who did not, using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Chi-square test.Results:A total of 4 178 poisoning cases were included between June 2015 and May 2019. Among them, 21.7% (908/4 178) received blood purification therapy, while 78.3% (3 270/4 178) did not. Hemoperfusion (90.4%) was the most frequently employed method, followed by continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) (4.4%). In combined blood purification modalities, 4.8% underwent hemoperfusion combined with CRRT, 0.1% received hemoperfusion with plasma exchange, and another 0.1% underwent hemoperfusion combined with both CRRT and plasma exchange. Among patients who underwent blood purification, pesticide poisoning was the most prevalent (76.3%), with the most common toxic agents being paraquat (23.7%), dichlorvos (8.7%), methamidophos (5.2%), omethoate (4.0%), and glyphosate (3.7%). Compared to the non-blood purification group, patients in the blood purification group were more likely to present within the first hour with a low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score (3-8) (22.6% vs. 9.7%, P <0.05), low mean arterial pressure (8.0% vs. 3.2%, P <0.05), longer hospital stays [5(3,9) days vs. 2(1,4) days, P <0.05] and a higher in-hospital mortality rate (21.1% vs. 5.3%, P <0.05). Follow-up via telephone 28 days after discharge revealed a survival rate of 78.9%, with a mortality rate of 21.1% in the blood purification group. Conclusions:Hemoperfusion is the most commonly utilized blood purification technique for treating poisoning in Jiangsu Province, with pesticides being the primary toxic agents treated. Although the mortality rate is higher in the blood purification group, the intervention may still contribute to improved patient outcomes.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for improving postoperative pain management outcomes,accelerating patient recovery,and ensuring the safe use of opioids.METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted,in which patients undergoing elective hip or knee replacement in the Department of Orthopedics at Baoding No.1 Central Hospital(hereinafter referred to as"our hospital")from November 2021 to November 2023 were randomly divided into control group and observation group using a random number table,with 178 cases in each group.Patients in the control group received postoperative pain management implemented by medical staff according to the clinical pathway for perioperative pain treatment.Patients in the observation group,under the enhanced recovery after surgery model,received postoperative pain management through a multidisciplinary collaborative team including clinical pharmacists.The occurrence and resolution of opioid-related drug-related problems(DRPs)were compared between the two groups,and the DRPs were classified and analyzed using the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe Classification System(V9.1).Postoperative pain scores,sleep quality scores,length of hospital stay,and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.RESULTS A total of 162 opioid-related DRPs were identified in 2 groups,with 58 in the observation group(identified 52 patients)and 104 in the control group(identified 91 patients),showing a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).The primary issue involved in the DRPs for both groups was therapeutic effectiveness.Clinical pharmacists in the observation group conducted 88 interventions for the identified 58 opioid-related DRPs,achieving an overall intervention success rate of 84.5%.The pain scores and sleep quality scores from postoperative day 1 to 7,the length of hospitalization for hip replacement,the average hospitalization duration,and the total incidence of opioid-related adverse reactions were all significantly lower or shorter in the observation group compared to the control group(P＜0.05).Furthermore,the main time effect,time-group interaction effect for pain scores and sleep quality scores were statistically significant in both groups(P＜0.05),indicating that the control group exhibited greater reductions in these scores and observation group exhibited more rapid improvements.CONCLUSIONS The full involvement of clinical pharmacists in postoperative pain management and opioid medication administration in the orthopedics department enables timely identification and intervention of DRPs,enhance postoperative analgesia efficacy,decrease adverse drug reactions,shorten hospital stays,and accelerate patient recovery.

Background:To compare the efficacy and safety of monthly administrations of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists LY01005 and Zoladex ? in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer. Methods:From October 2020 to November 2021, 188 premenopausal breast cancer patients were enrolled in 34 hospitals and randomized 1:1 to receive either LY01005 or Zoladex ? every 28 days for a total of three injections. All patients concomitantly received oral tamoxifen (TAM). The primary efficacy endpoint was cumulative probability of maintaining menopausal level [oestradiol (E2) ≤30 pg/ml] from day 29 to day 85. The second efficacy endpoint included changes in E2, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) compared with the baseline. Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety were analyzed. The study also evaluated the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of LY01005. Results:A total of 188 patients were randomised and 187 patients received either LY01005 or Zoladex ?. Cumulative probabilities of maintaining menopausal level (E2≤30 pg/ml) from day 29 to day 85 were 93.1% for LY01005 and 86.3% for Zoladex ?. The between-group difference was 6.8% (95% CI: -2.3%, 15.9%) and primary efficacy in the LY01005 group was not inferior to that in the Zoladex ? group. Changes in E2, LH, and FSH levels compared with the baseline were equivalent between the two groups (E2: 89.34% to 90.23% vs. 82.11% to 85.02%; LH: 88.89% to 95.52% vs. 89.70% to 97.02%; FSH: 75.36% to 80.85% vs.73.07% to 80.24%, respectively). After three consecutive doses of LY01005, the LH and FSH levels of the subjects showed a transient increase after the first dose, reached a peak on the second day and then started to decrease. The LH and FSH reached a lower level and remained at or below that level until the 85th day. Both treatments were well-tolerated. Conclusion:LY01005 is as effective as Zoladex ? in suppressing E2 to menopausal levels in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer, with a similar safety profile.

Cognitive impairment is a major public health challenge facing global aging societies， and currently lacks effective treatment measures. Herb pair， characterized by their rigorous compatibility and synergistic effects， demonstrate unique advantages in clinical practice. Acorus tatarinowii-Polygala tenuifolia is a classic herbal pair for treating cognitive impairment， widely utilized in various traditional Chinese medicine formulations， such as Kaixin san， Shenghui tang， and Yuanzhi san. This article summarizes the pharmacological mechanisms of A. tatarinowii， P. tenuifolia and their compatible compound prescriptions in ameliorating cognitive impairment. It is found that they can exert effects in ameliorating cognitive impairment through mechanisms such as reducing amyloid β-protein deposition and inhibiting excessive phosphorylation of Tau protein， suppressing inflammatory responses， alleviating oxidative stress， protecting neurons and regulating neurotransmitters， modulating the structure and function of the blood- brain barrier， and regulating autophagy. Subsequently， in-depth analysis can be conducted on the active ingredients of A. tatarinowii- P. tenuifolia herb pair that ameliorate cognitive impairment， along with the addition of relevant clinical trials for verification. This will provide theoretical foundations and research approaches for the treatment of cognitive impairment using traditional Chinese medicine.
