ObjectiveTo analyze the adverse reactions associated with the clinical use of Banxia (Rhizoma Pinelliae)- Wutou (Aconitum) in the same formula, with the aim of providing a reference for the safety of their clinical application. MethodsLiterature on the clinical application of antagonistic herbs "Banxia-Wutou" used in the same formula, published from January 1st, 2014, to June 30th, 2023, was retrieved from databases including CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase. A database was established, and information related to adverse reactions was extracted, including descriptions, classifications, specific manifestations, management and outcomes, patients' primary diseases (western medicine diseases and traditional Chinese medicine diagnoses and syndromes), and medication information (dosage, ratio, administration routes, and dosage forms). ResultsA total of 79 researches simultaneously used antagonistic herbs Banxia-Wutou in the same formula and reported associated advers reactions. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions were the most common, with 8 studies reporting management of adverse reactions and 3 studies reporting improvement with no intervention. Among the 11 researches, the adverse reaction relieved to extant, while other 69 researches didn't report the managment of adverse reaction and its prognosis. For the primary disease in western medicine system, chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were most common, while gastric pain was the most common symptom in traditional Chinese medicine with spleen and kidney deficiency and spleen stomach cold deficiency being the most frequent syndromes. The most common Banxia dosage was 10 g, while for the Wutou, Fuzi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata) was predominant with the highest dose at 15 g. The most frequent herbal combination was Banxia-fuzi, with a 1∶1 ratio. The main administration route was oral, and the primary dosage form was decoction. ConclusionGastrointestinal adverse reactions are the most common in the clinical use of Banxia-Wutou antagonistic herb combinations. Research on the safety of "Banxia-Wutou" combinations should focus on respiratory system diseases and spleen-stomach related conditions.

OBJECTIVE To assess the safety profile of sintilimab in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS The data of patients with cholangiocarcinoma from January 1st, 2021 to December 31st, 2022 were collected and divided into control group (29 cases) and observation group (18 cases) based on different medication regimens. Patients in the control group were treated with Gemcitabine hydrochloride for injection+Cisplatin for injection or Oxaliplatin for injection, the observation group was treated with Sintilimab injection based on the control group. Patients in each group underwent blood routine, liver and kidney function, biochemical and other examinations before and after each treatment cycle to observe the occurrence of adverse drug reactions. The correlation of adverse drug reactions with drugs was evaluated with Naranjo’s scale. RESULTS The correlation between blood toxicity and drug use was deemed “probable” in both groups; however, the observation group exhibited a significantly higher score, indicating a stronger correlation. In the control group, hepatotoxic reactions were classified as “suspicious” whereas in the observation group, they were categorized as “probable”. The correlation of gastrointestinal symptoms between the two groups was considered “possible”. Systemic symptoms, skin toxicity, musculoskeletal toxicity, endocrine toxicity and renal toxicity were all classified as having a “suspicious” correlation with drug use. The total incidence of blood toxicity in the observation group was significantly higher than control group (P=0.014). There was no statistically significant difference in the total incidences of hepatotoxic, gastrointestinal symptoms, systemic symptoms, skin toxicity, musculoskeletal toxicity, endocrine toxicity, renal toxicity, or the incidence of grade 3 or higher blood toxicity, hepatotoxic between the two groups (P>0.05). For the patients experiencing adverse drug reactions, the symptoms were alleviated following drug discontinuation or symptomatic supportive treatment. No fatalities occurred during the treatment period. CONCLUSIONS Sintilimab combined with chemotherapy may significantly increase the risk of blood toxicity in patients with cholangiocarcinoma, especially thrombocytopenia, but the adverse reactions are within a controllable range, and the overall safety is good.

Objective:To observe the changes of peripheral blood T cell subsets and serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 contents in narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) patients and their correlations with narcolepsy, and provide basis for finding the biological markers of narcolepsy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed. From March 2022 to December 2023, 23 patients with NT1 admitted to Epilepsy and Sleep Disorder Center, Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University and 23 healthy controls underwent physical examination of nervous system in our center were enrolled. T lymphocyte subsets CD4 + and CD8 + in peripheral blood were calculated by flow cytometry. Serum TNF-α and IL-6 contents were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to determine the correlations of NT1 with CD4 + T lymphocyte count and IL-6 and TNF-α contents, and diagnostic values of CD4 + T lymphocyte and TNF-α in NT1 were evaluated via area under receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve. Results:Compared with the healthy controls, the NT1 patients had significantly increased peripheral blood CD4 + T lymphocyte count ([820.61±316.87] /μL vs. [1121.04±387.47] /μL), and significantly higher serum TNF-α and IL-6 contents ([39.97±10.64] pg/mL vs. [57.01±19.92] pg/mL; [22.50±6.09] pg/mL vs. [33.66±17.28] pg/mL, P<0.05). No significant difference in peripheral blood CD8 + T lymphocyte count was noted between the 2 groups ([668.65±276.45] pg/mL vs. [592.52±217.78] pg/mL, P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that CD4 + T lymphocyte count and serum TNF-α content were independent risk factors for NT1 ( OR=1.004, 95% CI: 1.001-1.006, P=0.007; OR=1.133, 95% CI: 1.032-1.243, P=0.009). Area under ROC curve of the two combined indexes was 0.881(95% CI: 0.784-0.977, P=0.001), enjoying sensitivity of 0.783 and specificity of 0.870. Conclusion:Combination of peripheral blood CD4 + T lymphocyte count and serum TNF-α content has high diagnostic performance in predicting NT1.

Objective:To evaluate the practical value of the up-converting phosphor technology (UPT) in the field fast detection of plague, and to provide scientific basis for its promotion and application in the field work of plague monitoring.Methods:In September 2020, a total of 116 samples (including 4 samples for epidemic determination) were collected at the plague epidemic site in Menghai County, Yunnan Province, including 24 human blood and lymphatic fluid samples, 83 rat liver and muscle samples, and 9 rat blood samples. In March 2023, a total of 12 rat liver and muscle samples were collected from Lijiang City for on-site monitoring of plague outbreak (all of them were outbreak determination samples). All of the above samples were tested for Yersinia pestis antibody and antigen using the up-converting phosphor technology. At the same time, haemagglutination test, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and bacterial culture were conducted to compare the detection process and results of different experimental methods, the advantages and disadvantages of the up-converting phosphor technology for detecting Yersinia pestis were analyzed, and the feasibility of using this detection method in the field of plague epidemic monitoring was judged. Results:The plague epidemic samples site in Menghai County, Yunnan Province were tested by up-converting phosphor technology, and 19 samples were found to be positive for Yersinia pestis (1 antibody-positive and 18 antigen-positive). Among the samples determined, 4 samples with positive results of Yersinia pestis were detected by up-converting phosphor technology, and the results of their haemagglutination test, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and bacterial culture were all positive. All samples from Lijiang City were tested by up-converting luminescence technology, two samples were positive for Yersinia pestis(antigen-positive). The results of haemagglutination test and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR were positive, and one sample was positive for bacterial culture. The time required for up-converting phosphor technology, haemagglutination test, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, and bacterial culture were 0.5, 4.0, 2.5 and 72.0 h, respectively. Conclusions:The results of Yersinia pestis detection by up-converting phosphor technology are basically consistent with the results of haemagglutination test, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and bacterial culture, but the time used is relatively short. When the number of samples is large, this method can be used preferentially in the field work of plague outbreak monitoring, which can quickly complete the preliminary judgement of plague outbreak, and save a lot of time and economic resources for the next step of plague prevention and control work.
