Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2026;39(03):370-373+384
During routine Good Manufacturing Practice(GMP) compliance supervision, periodic inspections based on risk control concepts have revealed gaps between the current practices of biologics manufacturers in Jilin Province and the latest domestic and international regulatory standards. These gaps span multiple areas, including facility and equipment design for aseptic product manufacturing, airflow pattern control, cleaning and disinfection practices, environmental monitoring, aseptic process simulation, and personnel gowning procedures. This paper compiles and analyzes these identified issues. Considering the inherent tendency of biological product components to support microbial growth, and based on recent regulatory updates alongside a statistical analysis of aseptic manufacturing deficiencies observed during GMP compliance inspections in Jilin's biologics sector, this paper discusses the future direction for improving aseptic assurance levels. The aim is to provide theoretical support for both future regulatory efforts and the enhancement of aseptic assurance capabilities within enterprises.

Anti-tumor drug research and development in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rapidly developing, and the clinical application of high-throughput sequencing technology is also becoming widespread. Accordingly, researchers are focusing on human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) gene as a rare target of NSCLC, and a series of exploratory studies has been performed. Traditional chemotherapy and immunotherapy are unsatisfactory in the HER-2 mutant population, whereas the survival improvement of anti-HER-2 monoclonal antibodies and pan-HER inhibitors is limited. The development of antibody drug conjugate (ADC) ushers in a turning point for HER-2-mutated NSCLC, and new ADC drugs represented by trastuzumab deruxtecan are making a breakthrough. It opens up a new era of precision therapy for advanced HER-2-mutated NSCLC. Additionally, novel HER-2 inhibitors show very encouraging initial efficacy and safety, and clinical trials are ongoing. This review focuses on the latest progress of research on HER-2-mutated NSCLC.

Osteoporosis is a common bone disease, whose incidence is still on the rise, posing great challenges to patients and society. This review mainly studies the pathogenesis of osteoporosis from the aspects of oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and glucolipotoxicity-induced injury and clarifies the efficacy and mechanism of some active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine against osteoporosis through the integration of in vitro and in vivo experiments. The experimental results suggest that some active ingredients can improve bone resorption markers and maintain bone homeostasis by modulating inflammation, oxidative stress, etc. These active ingredients regulate osteoporosis through the receptor activator of nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL) pathway, osteoprotegerin (OPG) pathway, Wnt/β-catenin pathway, NF-κB pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, and oxidative stress pathway. This review provides ideas for the progress of the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis with the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, aiming to provide new potential lead compounds and reference for the development of innovative drugs and clinical therapy for the treatment of osteoporosis.

To develop a novel polyamino acid-based nanohydrogel drug delivery system for dexamethasone to enhance its delivery efficiency to the inner ear. A fluorescein-labeled polyglutamic acid-based polyamino acid dexamethasone nanohydrogel was synthesized, and its gelation time was measured. The hydrogel was surgically injected into the round window niche of guinea pigs to determine its degradation time in the middle ear cavity in vivo. The safety, pharmacokinetics, and distribution patterns of dexamethasone in the inner ear were evaluated. The hydrogel exhibited a gelation time of 80 seconds in a 37℃ water bath. In vivo, the hydrogel was almost completely degraded within 7 days in the middle ear cavity of guinea pigs. Transient hearing loss was observed one day after administration, but hearing gradually returned to normal over time. No significant cytotoxicity, vestibular stimulation signs, or pathological abnormalities in spiral ganglion cells were observed. Histopathological examination revealed no significant inflammatory reactions. Pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated sustained drug release and prolonged dexamethasone activity. Immunofluorescence staining confirmed the distribution of dexamethasone in both the cochlea and vestibular organs. The polyamino acid nanohydrogel exhibits excellent injectability and biodegradability, representing a safe and effective drug delivery system for the inner ear.

Background:
Obesity and chronic pain are related in both directions, according to earlier observational research.This research aimed to analyze the causal association between obesity and chronic pain at the genetic level, as well as to assess whether common factors mediate this relationship.
Methods:
This study used bidirectional two sample Mendelian randomization (MR) technique to analyze the association between obesity and chronic pain. Obesity's summary genome-wide association data were obtained from European ancestry groups, as measured by body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC), genome-wide association study data for chronic pain also came from the UK population, including chronic pain at three different sites (back, hip, and headache), chronic widespread pain (CWP), and multisite chronic pain (MCP). Secondly, a two-step MR and multivariate MR investigation was performed to evaluate the mediating effects of several proposed confounders.
Results:
The authors discovered a link between chronic pain and obesity. More specifically, a sensitivity analysis was done to confirm the associations between greater BMI, WC, and HC with an increased risk of CWP and MCP.Importantly, the intermediate MR results suggest that education levels and smoking initiation may mediate the causal relationship between BMI on CWP, with a mediation effect of 23.08% and 15.38%, respectively.
Conclusions
The authors’ findings demonstrate that the importance of education and smoking in understanding chronic pain’s pathogenesis, which is important for the primary prevention and prognosis of chronic pain.

ObjectiveTo establish a quality evaluation method for Zhuye Shigao granules(Zhuye Shigaotang) based on fingerprint and determination of index components, and to investigate the therapeutic effect of Zhuye Shigao granules on mice with cold-dampness pestilence attacking lung syndrome. MethodsThe fingerprint of Zhuye Shigao granules was established by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), and the methods for determination of total calcium, orientin, isoorientin, ginsenosides Rg1, Re and Rb1 and other 2 index components were established. Fifty ICR mice were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, Zhuye Shigao granules low, medium and high dose groups(9.3, 18.6, 37.2 g·kg-1·d-1), with 10 mice in each group. In addition to the blank group, the model mice with cold-dampness pestilence attacking lung syndrome was prepared by nasal drip of lipopolysaccharide combined with cold-dampness environment. Each administration group was given the corresponding liquid by gavage according to the dose, while the blank group and model group were given the same volume of normal saline by gavage. Then, the body temperature and organ index of mice in each group were measured, hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to investigate the lung tissue injury of mice in each group, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect the changes of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-lβ, IL-6, IL-10 levels in serum and lung tissue, as well as immunoglobulin(Ig)A and IgM levels in serum. ResultsThe fingerprint similarity of 10 batches of Zhuye Shigao granules was>0.950, and 20 common peaks were calibrated. Seven of them were identified, including peak 11(isoorientin), peak 12(orientin), peak 14(apioside liquiritin), peak 15(liquiritin), peak 17(apioside isoliquiritin), peak 19(isoliquiritin) and peak 20(liquiritigenin). The results of quantitative analysis showed that the content range of each index component in 10 batches of Zhuye Shigao granules was as follows:Total calcium of 9.978-11.294 mg·g-1, isoorientin of 0.033-0.041 mg·g-1, orientin of 0.046-0.055 mg·g-1, ginsenoside Rg1+ginsenoside Re of 0.748-0.762 mg·g-1, ginsenoside Rb1 of 0.151-0.197 mg·g-1, liquiritin of 1.106-1.366 mg·g-1, glycyrrhizic acid of 0.904-1.182 mg·g-1. Compared with the blank group, the body temperature of mice in the model group was significantly increased, the organ indexes of liver, lung and spleen were significantly decreased, the organ index of thymus was significantly increased, HE staining of lung tissue showed infiltration of inflammatory cells, a small amount of serous exudation was observed in the alveoli, and lung tissue was damaged. After the intervention of Zhuye Shigao granules, the pathological changes were improved compared with the model group. The expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased, the expression level of IL-10 was significantly decreased in serum and lung tissue. The levels of IgA and IgM in serum were significantly decreased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the body temperature, the organ indexes and immune factor levels in serum and lung tissue of mice in the Zhuye Shigao granules medium and high dose groups were significantly reduced(P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionIn this study, the quality evaluation of Zhuye Shigao granules was carried out based on fingerprint combined with determination of index components, and the fingerprint of four herbs(Lophatheri Herba, Ophiopogonis Radix, Pinelliae Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) in this formula and the determination of 8 index components were established. The therapeutic effect of Zhuye Shigao granules on mice with cold-dampness pestilence attacking lung syndrome may be related to inhibiting inflammatory response and mediating immune regulation.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the stir-frying process of Platycodon grandiflorum, compare the protective effect of P. grandiflorum on lung injury in mice before and after stir-frying, and preliminarily explore the characteristics of “enhanced efficacy through processing” of stir-frying P. grandiflorum. METHODS On the basis of single-factor experiment, the stir-frying time, temperature and frequency were taken as factors, and the comprehensive scores of appearance traits, platycodin D content and alcohol extract content were taken as indexes. Box-Behnken response surface experiment was designed to optimize the stir-frying process of P. grandiflorum and verify it. The mice were divided into blank control group, model group, dexamethasone group (positive control drug, 5 mg/kg), P. grandiflorum low-dose and high-dose groups (0.6,1.2 g/kg), fried P. grandiflorum low and high dose groups (0.6, 1.2 g/kg), with 8 mice in each group. The treatment was given once a day for 10 consecutive days. After the last administration, acute lung injury model was established by intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum and superoxide dismutase (SOD), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in lung tissue were detected, lung wet/dry weight ratio and thymus index were calculated, and the pathological changes of lung tissue were observed. RESULTS The optimum processing conditions were as follows:stir- frying temperature of 120 ℃, stir-frying time of 12 min, stir-frying frequency of 19 r/min; the comprehensive scores of the three batches of process verification were all greater than 97 points, RSD<3% (n=3). The results of pharmacodynamic experiments showed that compared with blank control group, the lung dry-wet weight ratio as well as the levels of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, MPO and MDA in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), the thymus index and SOD level were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the lung tissue was significantly damaged. Compared with model group, above indexes of the mice in each administration group were significantly improved (P<0.01), and the lung tissue injury was significantly reduced. At the same dose, except for the lung dry-wet weight ratio, the above indexes of the mice in the stir-fried P. grandiflorum groups were significantly improved compared with P. grandiflorum 涵。E-mail:495758271@qq.com groups (P<0.05), and the lung tissue damage was further reduced. CONCLUSIONS The optimized stir-frying process is stable and feasible. The protective effect of stir-fried P.grandiflorum on acute lung injury in mice is better than that of raw products at the same dosage.

BACKGROUND:
Disease-modifying therapies have been approved for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). The present study aims to examine the safety of teriflunomide in Chinese patients with RMS.
METHODS:
This non-randomized, multi-center, 24-week, prospective study enrolled RMS patients with variant (c.421C>A) or wild type ABCG2 who received once-daily oral teriflunomide 14 mg. The primary endpoint was the relationship between ABCG2 polymorphisms and teriflunomide exposure over 24 weeks. Safety was assessed over the 24-week treatment with teriflunomide.
RESULTS:
Eighty-two patients were assigned to variant ( n = 42) and wild type groups ( n = 40), respectively. Geometric mean and geometric standard deviation (SD) of pre-dose concentration (variant, 54.9 [38.0] μg/mL; wild type, 49.1 [32.0] μg/mL) and area under plasma concentration-time curve over a dosing interval (AUC tau ) (variant, 1731.3 [769.0] μg∙h/mL; wild type, 1564.5 [1053.0] μg∙h/mL) values at steady state were approximately similar between the two groups. Safety profile was similar and well tolerated across variant and wild type groups in terms of rates of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE), treatment-related TEAE, grade ≥3 TEAE, and serious adverse events (AEs). No new specific safety concerns or deaths were reported in the study.
CONCLUSION:
ABCG2 polymorphisms did not affect the steady-state exposure of teriflunomide, suggesting a similar efficacy and safety profile between variant and wild type RMS patients.
