Geniposide， the primary active component of the traditional Chinese medicine Gardeniae Fructus， is a water-soluble iridoid glycoside. Pharmacological studies have demonstrated that geniposide exhibits various biological activities， including hepatoprotective， anti-inflammatory， analgesic， neuroprotective， antidepressant effects， and inhibitory activity against ischemia-reperfusion injury. Recent research has revealed its promising potential in preventing and treating diseases such as atherosclerosis and osteoporosis， indicating broad application prospects. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that the pharmacodynamic mechanisms of geniposide are primarily associated with the inhibition of inflammatory responses and oxidative stress， improvement of lipid metabolism， and regulation of apoptosis. However， due to its high water solubility and rapid metabolism in vivo， geniposide suffers from low oral bioavailability， which limits its therapeutic efficacy and clinical application. In recent years， various formulations， such as creams， cubic liquid crystals， hydrogels， and liposomes， have been developed to address its bioavailability issues. This article reviewed the latest research progress on the pharmacological activities and formulation development of geniposide by analyzing domestic and international literature from the past decade， aiming to provide a theoretical basis for further research， development， and utilization of geniposide and its formulations.

Objective To investigate the effect of large artery atherosclerosis(LAA)and non-LAA subtypes on the efficacy of Ginkgo Diterpene Lactone Meglumine(GDLM)in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods This was a post-hoc analysis of multicenter,randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled,and parallel-group trial.A total of 3 448 patients who had acute ischemic stroke were randomly assigned in a 1∶1 ratio to receive the injection of GDLM or the placebo once day within 48 h after symptoms and continued for 14 d.The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with a modified Rankin Scale(mRS)of 0 or 1 on day 90 after randomization.Results A total of 3 448 patients were enrolled,with 1 604(46.52% )patients with non-LAA and 1 844(53.48% )with LAA.Compared to the placebo treatment.GDLM injection effectively improve the functional prognosis,with a higher proportion of mRS score of 0-1 in both non-LAA(OR=1.24,95% CI:1.02-1.51;P=0.03)and LAA(OR=1.37,95% CI:1.14-1.65;P<0.001)group.There was no significant interaction between LAA subtypes with treatment(P=0.48 for interaction).Conclusion Among patients with acute ischemic stroke in this randomized clinical trial,GDLM might improve the favorable clinical outcomes at 90 d compared with placebo,regardless of LAA subtypes.Nevertheless,it is necessary to confirm the findings in the future.

Purpose To investigate the expression of LAMB3 and ITGB4 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)and analyze their associations with clinicopathological features.Methods Bioinformatics was used to assess the expression of LAMB3 and ITGB4 in pan-cancer and ESCC.Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate their expression and distribution in ESCC tissues,and correlations clinicopathological features were analyzed.Follow-up data were collected to construct Kaplan-Meier survival curves,and Cox regression analysis was proformed to determine their prognostic significance.Results Bioinformatics analysis showed that LAMB3 and ITGB4 were highly expressed in ES-CC tissues(P＜0.001).Immunohistochemistry confirmed that both proteins were localized in the cytoplasm and membrane of tumor cells.High LAMB3 expression was significantly associated with poor differentiation(P＜0.001),lymph node metastasis(P=0.015),and T staging(P＜0.001).High ITGB4 expression was significantly correlated with poor differentiation(P=0.004)and advanced T staging(P=0.004).Cox regression analysis identified high ex-pression of LAMB3 and ITGB4 as independent prognostic factors for overall survival[HR=4.97(95％CI:2.73-9.02);HR=2.33(95％CI:1.36-3.99)].Conclusion LAMB3 and ITGB4 are highly expressed in ESCC.High LAMB3 expression is associated with tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis,and T staging,while high ITGB4 expression is correlated with tumor differentiation and T staging.Patients with high expression of LAMB3 or ITGB4 have poorer overall survival,suggesting that these proteins may serve as prognostic biomarkers for unfavorable outcome in ESCC.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the molding process of Xiebai Granules(XG)using the Box-Behnken design-response surface method combined with the BP neural network method,and to evaluate the consistency of particle quality between different bat-ches by establishing physical fingerprint.METHODS Dry paste powder was used as the main drug,dry granulation was adopted,and the forming rate,dissolution rate,moisture absorption rate and angle of repose of the granules were used as evaluation indexes,the ex-cipients dextrin,maltodextrin and lactose of the particles,were screened by single factor test combined with simplex-lattice design and entropy weight method,and the optimal excipient ratio was selected.The entropy weight method combined with the Box-Behnken de-sign-response surface method and the BP neural network algorithm were used to optimize the process parameters,and the process veri-fication was carried out.The physical fingerprint was used to comprehensively characterize the bulk density(Da),hygroscopicity(H),moisture(HR),tap density(Dc),angle of repose(α),Hausner ratio(IH),relative uniformity index(Iθ),Carr index(IC),and in-terparticle pore number(Ie),and the consistency of particle quality in different batches was evaluated.RESULTS The optimal ratio of excipients was dextrin 15%,maltodextrin 48%,and lactose 37%.The optimal process parameters were conveying speed 95 r·min-1,pressure wheel speed 4 r·min-1 and hydraulic pressure 7 MPa.The similarity of the physical fingerprints of the five bat-ches of XG was greater than 0.98.CONCLUSION The optimized molding process of XG is stable and feasible,and the quality of different batches of XG is stable,which can provide a reference for the development and industrial scale-up production of XG.

Objective This study aims to compare the efficacy of video stylets and video laryngoscopes in facilitating nasotracheal intubation during oral surgery.Methods A total of 80 patients,aged between 18 and 70 years old,with ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective oral surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly assigned to either the video stylet group(Group N)or the video laryngoscope group(Group C),with 40 patients in each group.In Group N,a video stylet was used to shape the tracheal tube at a 90-degree angle,with the shaping position being the vertical distance from the Adam's apple to the nostril.The tube was inserted from the nasal cavity into the throat under direct visualization,and positioned behind the glottis.In Group C,the tube was initially blindly inserted into the nasal cavity without a core.Upon reaching the throat,a video laryngoscope was employed to lift the epiglottis and expose the glottis from the mouth.The tube was then inserted with the aid of intubation forceps or cuff inflation.The primary outcome measure was the intubation time.Additional measures included the time taken for nasal passage,glottis exposure,and the number of intubation attempts and assistant interventions required.Vital signs,including MAP and HR,were recorded at five minutes of quiet rest upon entering the room(T0),during glottis exposure(T1),upon passage of the tube through the glottis(T2),and one minute after the tube entered the trachea(T3).Complications such as epistaxis,oral mucosal bleeding,loose incisors,and postop-erative sore throat were also documented.Results The intubation time and nasal passage time in Group N were significantly shorter than those in Group C(P<0.05).The number of cuff inflations and intubation forceps assisted cases in Group N was significantly lower than in Group C(P<0.05).There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of glottis exposure time,first successful intubation times,C-L glottis classification,and mandibular lift-assisted intubation(P>0.05).The increase in MAP and HR in Group N at T1 and T2 was signifi-cantly less than in Group C(P<0.05).The number of cases with mild epistaxis in Group N was significantly lower than in Group C(P<0.05).Similarly,the number of cases with loose incisors and oral mucosal bleeding in Group N was significantly less than in Group C(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared to the video laryngoscope,the video stylet-guided nasotracheal intubation results in a shorter intubation time,less damage to the oronasopharynx,eliminates the need for intubation forceps,and reduces the patient's stress and vascular stress response during intubation.
