Abnormal activation of the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In recent years, inhibitors targeting JAK2 and STAT3 have emerged as promising therapeutic candidates in DLBCL. This review summarizes the efficacy and safety profiles of JAK2 inhibitors (e.g., ruxolitinib) and STAT3 inhibitors (direct small-molecule inhibitors, the antisense oligonucleotide, and proteolysis targeting chimeras, etc.) in preclinical models and clinical trials. Accumulating evidence indicates that JAK2 and STAT3 inhibitors exhibit antitumor activity and are generally well tolerated in a subset of DLBCL patients. Meanwhile, the development of novel drug delivery systems has significantly enhanced the stability, bioavailability, and targeting ability of the compounds. Furthermore, JAK2 and STAT3 inhibitors may exhibit synergistic effects when combined with other therapy strategies (such as combinations with B-cell receptor signaling pathway inhibitors, immunomodulators, or other targeted drugs). However, current clinical applications are still in their early stages. Future research should concentrate on precision treatment strategies based on the genetic subtyping of DLBCL, and further refine the delivery systems for inhibitors as well as combination drug regimens to improve clinical outcomes.

ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism of Xiaoqinglong Decoction (小青龙汤, XD) in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. MethodsForty-five rats were randomly assigned to a control group, a model group, a loratadine group, low-, medium- and high-dose XD groups, and low-, medium- and high-dose Mahuang Decoction and Cang'erzi Powder (麻黄汤合苍耳子散, MDCP) groups. Except for the control group, rats were administered with ovalbumin (OVA) and aluminum hydroxide via intraperitoneal injection for 14 days to establish an allergic rhinitis model. After the 14th-day injection, nasal stimulation was continued with 20 μl of 10% OVA solution to maintain the model. Rats in the control group and the model group received 10 ml/(kg·d) of saline, whereas those in the loratadine group were administered with 0.9 mg/(kg·d) of loratadine. The low-, medium- and high-dose XD groups were administered XD at the dose of 2.7, 5.4, and 10.8 g/(kg·d), respectively. The low-, medium- and high-dose MDCP groups were administered MDCP at the dose of 2.43, 4.86, and 9.72 g/(kg·d), respectively. All treatments were administered by gavage once daily for 7 consecutive days. One hour after the final gavage, nasal symptom scores were recorded for all group of rats. The next day, serum levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and interleukin-13 (IL-13) were measured. HE staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of the nasal mucosal tissue. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western Blot were performed to assess mRNA and protein expression of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and OX40 ligand (OX40L) in the nasal mucosa. ResultsCompared to the control group, total nasal symptom score in the model group significantly increased (P<0.01). HE staining revealed disrupted and adhered cilia, thickened basement membranes, and extensive inflammatory cell infiltration in the nasal mucosa. Serum levels of total IgE, IL-4, and IL-13, as well as TSLP and OX40L mRNA and protein expression in the nasal mucosa, were significantly elevated in the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared to the model group, the total nasal symptom scores in all drug intervention groups were significantly reduced; the serum total IgE levels in the loratadine group, the low- and medium-dose XD groups, and the low- and high-dose MDCP groups were significantly reduced; and the serum levels of IL-4 and IL-13 in the high-dose XD group and the high-dose MDCP group decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Nasal mucosal structure was improved. Except for the low-dose MDCP group, all other intervention groups showed a significant reduction in TSLP and OX40L mRNA expression in the nasal mucosa (P<0.01). All doses of XD and the medium- and high-dose MDCP groups significantly decreased the protein levels of TSLP and OX40L (P<0.05). The medium-dose XD group exhibited more improvement of nasal symptom scores and greater suppression of expression of TSLP and OX40L mRNA, and TSLP protein levels compared to the loratadine group (P<0.05). ConclusionXD may protect nasal mucosa of rats and alleviate allergic rhinitis by suppressing the TSLP/OX40L pathway, thereby attenuating Th2-mediated immune responses.

An HPLC analytical method was developed to determine the related substances in carbetocin injection. The method was performed on a Waters Xbridge C18 column (150 mm×3 mm, 3.5 μm) with 0.30 mg/mL ammonium acetate-19% acetonitrile aqueous solution as mobile phase A and mobile phase A-acetonitrile (1∶1) as mobile phase B. The detection wavelength was 220 nm. Gradient elution was performed at the flow rate of 0.8 mL/min and the column temperature of 60℃. The method was validated for system applicability, specificity, linearity and range, accuracy, with the results that the 9 impurities of carbetocin injection showed good linearity (R²>0.999) with peak area in their respective concentration range, and that the method had good precision (RSD<5%). This method is suitable for the simultaneous determination of carbetocin and its 9 impurities in carbetocin injection and can provide a theoretical basis for the quality control of the carbetocin injection.

Objective To investigate the effect of lateral wedge insoles (LWI) with different heights on lower limb biomechanical characteristics during single-leg landing in patients with chronic ankle in? stability (CAI). Methods Thirty CAI undergraduates (15 males and 15 females) were recruited. All participants were required to perform a single-leg landing task from a height of 30 cm. They first un? derwent the test with flat insoles (FI),followed by tests with 3 mm and 6 mm LWI in a randomized order. A Qualisys 3D motion capture system and Kistler force platform were used to synchronously col? lect data. Kinematic and kinetic data of the lower limb tri-joints (hip,knee and ankle) were ana? lyzed from the moment of ground contact to the body stabilization phase. Results(1) Kinematically,compared with the FI group,the 3 mm and 6 mm LWI groups showed greater hip and knee flexion angles (P<0.001),smaller hip adduction (P<0.05,P<0.01),ankle plantarflexion (P<0.05,P<0.001),and knee valgus angles (P<0.05,P<0.001) at the moment of ground contact. The 6 mm LWI group had larger hip/knee flexion angles (P<0.001) and smaller ankle plantarflexion angles (P<0.001) at contact than the 3 mm LWI group. Additionally,compared with the FI group,the 6 mm LWI group showed significantly smaller ankle eversion angles (P<0.05). The 6 mm LWI group showed larger peak knee flexion angle (P<0.05) and peak ankle eversion angle (P<0.01) than the FI group,while the 3 mm LWI group also had a greater peak ankle eversion angle (P<0.05) than the FI group. Meanwhile,the 3 mm and 6 mm LWI groups had a larger knee flexion-extension range of motion (ROM)(P<0.05,P<0.01) but smaller ankle flexion-extension ROM (P<0.001) than the FI group. The 6 mm LWI group showed a significantly greater hip adduction-abduction ROM (P<0.001,P<0.05) than the other groups,with a smaller ankle plantar flexion-extension ROM (P<0.05) than the 3 mm LWI group. (2) The peak vertical ground reaction force (peak vGRF) of the LWI groups was signifi? cantly lower than the FI group (P<0.01),with that of the 6 mm LWI group significantly lower than the 3 mm LWI group (P<0.001). Moreover,there were significantly greater peak hip flexion moment (P<0.01) and smaller peak ankle plantarflexion moment of the LWI groups than the FI group (P<0.001),with a smaller peak ankle plantarflexion moment of the 6 mm LWI group than the 3 mm LWI group (P<0.05). (3) Significantly greater subjective comfort was observed in the 6 mm LWI group than the FI group (P<0.01). Conclusion LWI can improve landing patterns in CAI patients,re? duce their ground reaction forces,and lower the risk of ankle sprain. The 6 mm LWI outperforms the 3 mm LWI in improving flexion angles of the lower limb tri-joints at ground contact,ankle flexion-ex? tension ROM,peak vGRF,and peak ankle plantarflexion moment during single-leg landing tasks. Therefore,LWI can be used as a wearable protective device during rehabilitation to prevent recurrent ankle sprains among such patients.

In clinical practice, red blood cell infusion needs to be based on the patient′s hemoglobin level. However, different guidelines recommend different thresholds for red blood cell infusion and the timing of blood transfusion initiation is still controversial due to the presence of these different thresholds. Meanwhile, the use of allogeneic blood products carries a certain risk of transfusion-related infections or organ damage. Therefore, initiating red blood cell infusion requires more evidence. This review discusses some new methods, namely central venous oxygen saturation, arterial venous oxygen difference, near-infrared spectroscopy, and perioperative transfusion trigger score. It aims to help evaluate blood transfusion trigger and provide reference for doctors when making transfusion decisions.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in the prognosis of patients with advanced diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed. The clinical data of 654 patients newly diagnosed with advanced DLBCL diagnosed in 7 medical centers in Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group from October 2009 to January 2022 were retrospectively collected. All the patients received rituximab-based immune chemotherapy regimens. The patients were randomly assigned to the training set (458 cases) and the validation set (196 cases) in a 7:3 ratio. The clinicopathological data of patients were collected, and the CONUT score was calculated based on albumin, lymphocyte count, and total cholesterol. The optimal critical value of CONUT scote was determined by using MaxStat method. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves; Cox proportional hazards model was used to make univariate analysis and multivariate analysis on the factors influencing overall survival (OS). The efficacy of CONUT score in combination with the International prognostic index (IPI) and an enhanced IPI (NCCN-IPI) in predicting OS was evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Results:The median follow-up time of 654 patients was 38.1 months (95% CI: 35.3 months- 40.9 months), and the 5-year OS rate was 49.2%. According to the MaxStat method, the optimal critical value for CONUT score was determined to be 6 points. All the patients were classified into the normal nutritional status group (CONUT score ≤ 6 points, 489 cases) and the poor nutritional status group (CONUT score > 6 points, 165 cases). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that CONUT score > 6 points, male, lactate dehydrogenase >240 U/L, high white blood cell count, low hemoglobin level and age > 60 years were independent risk factors for OS of patients with advanced DLBCL (all P < 0.05). Patients in the poor nutritional status group (CONUT score > 6 points) had worse OS compared with that in the normal nutritional status group in the overall cohort of advanced DLBCL. Subgroup analysis revealed that among patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-performance status (ECOG PS) score < 2 points, IPI low-intermediate risk, IPI intermediate-high risk, NCCN-IPI low-intermediate risk, and NCCN-IPI intermediate-high risk, the patients in the poor nutritional status group (CONUT score > 6 points) had worse OS compared with that in the normal nutritional status group (CONUT score ≤ 6 points) (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:CONUT score has a certain value in the assessment of the prognosis of patients with advanced DLBCL, and its predictive efficacy is further improved when combined with IPI and NCCN-IPI.
