Objective:To investigate the effects of the novel oral edaravone(EDA)on rats with diabetic encepha-lopathy(DE).Methods:The network pharmacology research methodology was employed to elucidate the mechanism of action of oral EDA in the treatment of diabetes mellitus,identify intersecting targets,and conduct initial validation of these findings in vivo.Thirty male SD rats were randomly assigned to three groups:A normal control(control)group,a diabetic encephalopathy DE(DE)group,and an oral edaravone treatment(DE+EDA)group.Diabetic encephalop-athy was induced in both the DE and DE+EDA groups using the streptozotocin(STZ)method.After successful model-ing,the DE+EDA group received oral administration of EDA,while the other two groups were administered equal doses of saline as controls.Serum samples were examined for lipid release rate,and the protein expression levels of oxidative stress factor 3-nitrotyrosine(3-NT)and apoptotic factor cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3(caspase-3)in brain tissues were detected by Western blot.Brain samples were stained with HE staining to observe the pathological changes.Histopathological changes were observed through hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Results:Network pharmacological analysis yielded 27 core targets,and functional annotation of gene bioprocesses showed that the intersecting targets were mainly enriched in response to oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis.Serum-related lipid assay showed that the DE+EDA group had significantly improved lipid metabolism disorders compared with the DE group.Additionally,expression levels of 3-NT and caspase-3 were significantly higher in the DE group when compared with controls(P<0.05);How-ever,both markers exhibited a significant decrease within the DE+EDA treatment cohort as opposed to their counter-parts in the DE group(P<0.05).HE staining showed that in DE group the cellular arrangement was disordered,the cells were shrunk with intact plasma membrane,and the nuclei were condensed showing karyopyknosis,fragmented and dissolved.Compared with the DE group,the brain tissue in the DE+EDA group was relatively dense and neatly ar-ranged,and the cell karyopyknosis,fragmentation and lysis were significantly improved.Conclusion:Both network pharmacology and in vivo experiments provide preliminary evidence that oral EDA reduces damage in diabetic encepha-lopathy rats.

Objective:To develop the Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing Bladder Irrigation Chemotherapy and evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the theory of unpleasant symptoms, a preliminary version of the Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing Bladder Irrigation Chemotherapy was developed through literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, and the Delphi method. After revising certain items in the pre-survey, convenience sampling was used to select patients who underwent bladder instillation chemotherapy in the Department of Urology Surgery of three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Yunnan Province from January to July 2024 as research subjects to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:A total of 168 questionnaires were distributed, and 162 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 96.429% (162/168). The Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing Bladder Irrigation Chemotherapy covered two areas of symptom severity and symptom distress, comprising five dimensions and 27 items. The Cronbach's α coefficient for the total scale was 0.953, and the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.806. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the four common factors for symptom severity contributed to 73.196% of the cumulative variance, while the single common factor for symptom distress accounted for 68.285% of the cumulative variance. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that all indicators met the fit criteria, indicating that the model possessed good goodness-of-fit. The content validity index at the scale level was 0.940, while the content validity index at the item level ranged from 0.833 to 1.000.Conclusions:The Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing Bladder Irrigation Chemotherapy developed in this study demonstrates good reliability and validity, and is suitable for evaluating symptoms in patients undergoing bladder infusion chemotherapy.

A 55-year-old male patient received immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy regimen(intravenous infusions of tislelizumab 200 mg on day 1, paclitaxel protein-bound 470 mg, and carboplatin 500 mg on day 1) after surgery for left upper lung squamous cell carcinoma, with 21 days as a treatment cycle. After more than half a month of medication in the 1st cycle, the patient developed multiple symmetrical purple red bruises on both lower limbs, which did not fade when pressed. The purple red bruising disappeared the next day after treatment with anti-allergic drugs. After 3 days of medication in the 3rd cycle, the patient developed a large number of scattered red papules on both lower limbs, protruding from the surface of the skin and accompanied by itching, a small number of red papules were scattered on both upper limbs and the face; after 15 days, the patient felt poor appetite; after 16 days, the patient experienced abdominal pain accompanied by vomiting and loose yellow stool. Laboratory tests showed a blood creatinine level of 204 μmol/L and occult blood in urine (+++). Pathological examination of skin tissue at the lesion site of the patient suggested IgA vasculitis (IgAV). After excluding other factors such as primary disease and infection, it was considered that the IgAV was probably related to tislelizumab. Tislelizumab was discontinued, anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory drugs, and glucocorticoid were given. After 2 weeks of treatments, the skin purpura gradually disappeared, and the abdominal pain and renal function indicators were improved. After fully aware of the risks, the patient was restarted tislelizumab immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy, and anti-allergic drugs were add at the same time. IgVA did not recur.
