ObjectiveTo investigate whether Shenmai injection (SMI) improves cisplatin resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by modulating lipid metabolism and inducing ferroptosis. MethodsHuman lung adenocarcinoma cisplatin-resistant A549/DDP cells were divided into the following groups: Blank group, cisplatin group (23.3 μmol·L-1 cisplatin), SMI group (20 g·L-1 SMI), cisplatin combined with SMI group (23.3 μmol·L-1 cisplatin + 20 g·L-1 SMI), cisplatin combined with ferroptosis inhibitor/inducer Ferrostatin-1/Erastin group (23.3 μmol·L-1 cisplatin + 10 μmol·L-1 Ferrostatin-1/5 μmol·L-1 Erastin), and cisplatin combined with SMI and Ferrostatin-1/Erastin group (23.3 μmol·L-1 cisplatin + 20 g·L-1 SMI + 10 μmol·L-1 Ferrostatin-1/5 μmol·L-1 Erastin). Network pharmacology, transcriptomics and metabolomics, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), colorimetric assays, and Western blot analysis were employed to evaluate the effects of these treatments on A549/DDP cell viability, lipid droplet formation, lipid metabolite levels, mitochondrial function, lipid peroxidation, glutathione (GSH) content, total and ferrous iron content, and effects on ferroptiosis and autophagy related protein expression levels. ResultsSMI improved cisplatin resistance in NSCLC mainly by targeting lipid metabolism-related pathways in A549/DDP cells, affecting tumor cell lipid metabolism via autophagy, ferroptosis, and glycerophospholipid metabolism pathways. Compared with the cisplatin group, the cisplatin combined with SMI group showed significantly decreased cell viability (P<0.01), increased lipid droplet accumulation (P<0.01), and reduced mitochondrial maximal respiration, basal respiration, mitochondrial membrane potential, GSH content, total iron, and ferrous iron (all P<0.01). Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) was significantly elevated(P<0.01), and lipid peroxidation levels were significantly increased. Protein expression analysis showed significant downregulation of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and p62 (P<0.05,P<0.01) and upregulation of ferritin heavy chain (FTH) and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ (LC3Ⅱ) (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the cisplatin combined with SMI group, addition of Ferrostatin-1 significantly increased cell viability (P<0.05), decreased mitochondrial ROS levels (P<0.05), alleviated mitochondrial shrinkage, and reduced lipid peroxidation. Conversely, addition of Erastin further decreased cell viability (P<0.01). ConclusionSMI improves cisplatin resistance in NSCLC by inducing oxidative stress, which may trigger ferroptosis through upregulation of lipophagy.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and to summarize the mid-long term efficacy of Beijing Children′s Hospital Rhabdomyosarcoma 2006 (BCH-RMS-2006) regimen and China Children′s Cancer Group Rhabdomyosarcoma 2016 (CCCG-RMS-2016) regimen.Methods:A retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 137 children with newly diagnosed head and neck RMS at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2013 to December 2021 were collected. Clinical characteristic of patients at disease onset and the therapeutic effects of patients treated with the BCH-RMS-2006 and CCCG-RMS-2016 regimens were compared. The treatments and outcomes of patients with recurrence were also summarized. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method, and Log-Rank test was used for comparison of survival rates between groups.Results:Among 137 patients, there were 80 males (58.4%) and 57 females (41.6%), the age of disease onset was 59 (34, 97) months. The primary site in the orbital, non-orbital non-parameningeal, and parameningeal area were 10 (7.3%), 47 (34.3%), and 80 (58.4%), respectively. Of all patients, 32 cases (23.4%) were treated with the BCH-RMS-2006 regimen and 105 (76.6%) cases were treated with the CCCG-RMS-2016 regimen. The follow-up time for the whole patients was 46 (20, 72) months, and the 5-year progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates for the whole children were (60.4±4.4)% and (69.3±4.0)%, respectively. The 5-year OS rate was higher in the CCCG-RMS-2016 group than in BCH-RMS-2006 group ((73.0±4.5)% vs. (56.6±4.4)%, χ2=4.57, P=0.029). For the parameningeal group, the 5-year OS rate was higher in the CCCG-RMS-2016 group (61 cases) than in BCH-RMS-2006 group (19 cases) ((57.3±7.6)% vs. (32.7±11.8)%, χ2=4.64, P=0.031). For the group with meningeal invasion risk factors, the 5-year OS rate was higher in the CCCG-RMS-2016 group (54 cases) than in BCH-RMS-2006 group (15 cases) ((57.7±7.7)% vs. (30.0±12.3)%, χ2=4.76, P=0.029). Among the 10 cases of orbital RMS, there was no recurrence. In the non-orbital non-parameningeal RMS group (47 cases), there were 13 (27.6%) recurrences, after re-treatment, 7 cases survived. In the parameningeal RMS group (80 cases), there were 40 (50.0%) recurrences, with only 7 cases surviving after re-treatment. Conclusions:The overall prognosis for patients with orbital and non-orbital non-parameningeal RMS is good. However, children with parameningeal RMS have a high recurrence rate, and the effectiveness of re-treatment after recurrence is poor. Compared with the BCH-RMS-2006 regimen, the CCCG-RMS-2016 regimen can improve the treatment efficacy of RMS in the meningeal region.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the gene detection results of 2 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) caused by complex heterozygous variation, and to clarify the relationship between clinical manifestations and gene variation.
METHODS:
Two patients (patient 1 and 2) with FH who visited Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University in 2018 were selected as research subjects. A retrospective study method was used to collect clinical and family history data of the two patients. And 2 mL of peripheral venous blood from each of the two patients was collected, and genomic DNA extraction was performed on the blood samples. Sanger sequencing was used to validate the variant sites of the two patients detected by whole-exome sequencing (WES). Pathogenicity of variants was classified based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) Standards and Guidelines for the Classification of Genetic Variants (hereinafter referred to as the "ACMG Guidelines"), and the impact of variant was analyzed using multiple bioinformatics tools including SIFT, PolyPhen-2, and SWISS-MODEL. This study has been approved by Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University (Ethics No. 2024215X).
RESULTS:
Patient 1 initially presented with early-onset coronary heart disease, with initial lipid levels of serum total cholesterol (TC) 9.86 mmol/L (normal reference value: 3.10~5.20 mmol/L) and serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) 8.37 mmol/L (normal reference value: 1.27~3.12 mmol/L) on admission. Patient 1 initially underwent treatment with rosuvastatin combined with ezetimibe for one month, but the lipid-lowering effect was not significant. The lipid-lowering therapy was then adjusted to atorvastatin combined with ezetimibe and probucol. After one year of treatment, the patient developed paroxysmal chest pain symptoms. A follow-up lipid profile showed a serum TC level of 4.50 mmol/L and a LDL-C level of 3.55 mmol/L. The lipid-lowering regimen was continued, and the serum LDL-C levels were maintained between 2.65 and 3.66 mmol/L. Patient 2 was found to have an abnormally high blood lipid level and carotid artery hardening during physical examination, with an initial blood lipid level of serum TC 11.82 mmol/L and serum LDL-C 9.63 mmol/L. After receiving rosuvastatain therapy, the lipid-lowering effect was significant. WES revealed that patient 1 carried the heterozygous variants c.1871_1873del(p.Ile624del) and c.1747C>T (p.His583Tyr) in the LDLR gene (NM_000527.4), while patient 2 carried the heterozygous variants c.1747C>T (p.His583Tyr) in the LDLR gene and c.6936_6937inv (p.Ile2313Val) in the APOB gene (NM_000384). According to the ACMG Guidelines, the LDLR gene c.1747C>T (p.His583Tyr) was classified as a pathogenic variant (PS3+PM1+PM2_supporting+PM5+PP2+PP3), and c.1871_1873del (p.Ile624del) was classified as a pathogenic variant (PS3+PS4+PM2_supporting+PM1+PM4); the APOB gene c.6936_6937inv (p.Ile2313Val) was classified as a variant of uncertain clinical significance (PM2_supporting BP4).
CONCLUSION
Patients 1 and 2 in this study were patients with complex heterozygous variant FH, and their genotypic differences may be related to the differences in clinical serum LDL-C levels and the efficacy of hypolipidemic agents.

Background: Psoralea corylifolia L. (Buguzhi, BGZ), known for its efficacy in supporting pregnancy and preventing miscarriage, has been used in China for over 1000 years. Recently, BGZ has been identified as a potential cause of drug-induced liver injury. However, its safety during pregnancy remains unclear, which significantly hinders its routine clinical application. Objective: To investigate the effects of BGZ administration during pregnancy on the liver of mouse mothers and their weaned 21-day-old offspring. Methods: Mice were orally administered BGZ at doses of 2.5 and 10 g/kg during pregnancy, with BGZ withdrawal during the lactation period. Liver histopathology (hematoxylin-eosin staining), biochemical analysis, and evaluation of liver bile acid metabolism were performed after the lactation period. Results: BGZ administration at doses of 2.5 and 10 g/kg during pregnancy, followed by withdrawal during the lactation period, caused mild liver damage in both mothers and their 21-day-old offspring. Serum total bile acid (TBA) levels were elevated compared with those in the control group. Additionally, changes were observed in the levels and proportions of various bile acids (BAs) in the liver, suggesting mild effects on BA metabolism. Conclusion: BGZ administration during pregnancy caused mild liver damage and increased serum TBA levels in both mouse mothers and their 21-day-old offspring. This phenomenon may be associated with imbalanced BA metabolism in the liver. Based on the present study and the limited toxicological research on BGZ, pregnant women should avoid prolonged use of BGZ. If BGZ is administered during pregnancy, serum TBA levels should be monitored, and if elevated, BGZ should be discontinued.

Background: Aristolochic acid II (AAII), a major nephrotoxic and carcinogenic component of aristolochic acids (AAs), has been less studied compared with its well-characterized analog, aristolochic acid I (AAI). Although AAs are known to induce carcinogenesis via DNA adduct formation, the toxicity mechanisms, environmental prevalence, and long-term health impacts of AAII remain poorly understood. Objective: This study aimed to systematically evaluate AAII’s acute and chronic toxicity, carcinogenic mechanisms, and environmental exposure patterns using integrated murine models and phytochemical analyses to clarify its toxicological profile and associated health risks. Methods: C57BL/6J mice were used in the following experiments: (1) determination of AAII content in 3 commonly used Aristolochia medicinal materials via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry; (2) acute toxicity testing with single doses of 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg; and (3) chronic exposure with 1 or 10 mg/kg administered every other day for 24 weeks, followed by 21 to 40 weeks of postexposure monitoring. Histopathological examination, whole-exome sequencing, biochemical assays, and micronucleus tests were performed to assess multi-organ damage, tumorigenesis, genomic mutation signatures, and direct clastogenicity. Phytochemical analyses were used to evaluate environmental distribution. Results: (1) A single 40 mg/kg dose of AAII induced dose-dependent renal tubular degeneration without hepatotoxicity; (2) the 10 mg/kg group showed significant mortality (20%), tumor incidence (33.3%, primarily forestomach and bladder transitional cell carcinomas), persistent renal interstitial fibrosis, and subclinical hepatic injury. Chronic exposure to 1 mg/kg still induced 13.3% mortality and 15.5% tumor incidence over a 64-week period; (3) whole-exome sequencing revealed a predominance of C>T mutations and pathway enrichment in chemical carcinogenesis and cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism, indicating reactive metabolite-driven mechanisms distinct from classical AA-DNA adducts; and (4) no histopathological changes were observed in nontarget organs (brain, heart, and testes), and micronucleus assays confirmed the absence of direct clastogenicity. Conclusion: This study highlights the delayed carcinogenic risks of low-dose chronic AAII exposure and emphasizes the need to update regulatory frameworks to ensure the safe use of aristolochiaceae-containing herbal products.

and blood stasis syndrome,and to explore their effect on serum levels of soluble cluster of differentiation 40 ligand(sCD40L),lipoprotein phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2),and glycated albumin(GA).Methods A total of 117 patients with ICVD of qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome were randomly divided into control group 1,control group 2,and study group,with 39 patients in each group.The three groups were all given basic treatment with agents of diuretic,lipid regulation,antiplatelet,and antihypertensive,and additionally,control group 1 was given Edaravone,control group 2 was given Zhi Long Huoxue Tongyu Capsules,and the study group was given Zhi Long Huoxue Tongyu Capsules combined with Edaravone.The course of treatment for the three groups covered 14 days.Before and after treatment,the three groups were observed in the changes of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)scores for neurological function,modified Barthel Index(MBI)scores for activities of daily living(ADL),cerebral hemodynamics indicators[peak systolic velocity(PSV),end-diastolic velocity(EDV),mean velocity(Vm),pulsatility index(PI),and resistance index(RI)],neurofactors[neuron-specific enolase(NSE),S100β protein(S100β),and myelin basic protein(MBP)],vascular endothelial function indicators[von Willebrand factor(VWF),endothelin 1(ET-1),and nitric oxide(NO)],and levels of serum sCD40L,Lp-PLA2,and GA.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and the incidence of adverse reactions among the three groups of patients were compared.Results(1)After 14 days of treatment,the total effective rate of the study group was 94.87%(37/39),which was significantly higher than that of control group 1[71.79%(28/39)]and control group 2[76.92%(30/39)],the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).No statistically significant difference was shown between control group 1 and control group 2(P>0.05).(2)After treatment,the cerebral hemodynamics indicators of PSV,EDV,Vm,and PI of the middle cerebral artery(MCA)in the three groups were increased compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the RI was decreased compared with that before treatment(P<0.05).The increase of PSV,EDV,Vm,and PI of the MCA and the decrease of RI in the study group were significantly superior to those in control group 1 and control group 2(P<0.05).No statistically significant differences in PSV,EDV,Vm,PI,and RI of MCA were shown between control group 1 and control group 2 after treatment(P>0.05).(3)After treatment,the serum sCD40L,Lp-PLA2,and GA levels in the three groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease in the study group was significantly superior to that in control group 1 and control group 2(P<0.05).However,the differences of the serum levels after treatment between control group 1 and control group 2 were not statistically significant(P>0.05).(4)After treatment,the serum levels of neurofactors of NSE,S100β,and MBP in the three groups were all decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of the serum levels in the study group was significantly superior to that in control group 1 and control group 2,while the differences of the serum levels after treatment between control group 1 and control group 2 were not statistically significant(P>0.05).(5)After treatment,the vascular endothelial function indicators of serum vWF and ET-1 levels in the three groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the serum NO level was increased compared with that before treatment(P<0.05).The decrease of serum vWF and ET-1 levels and the increase of serum NO level in the study group were significantly superior to those in control group-1 and control group-2(P<0.05),while the difference of serum vWF,ET-1 and NO levels after treatment between control group 1 and control group 2 were not statistically significant(P>0.05).(6)After treatment,the NIHSS scores for neurological function in the three groups were decreased(P<0.05)and the MBI scores for ADL were increased(P<0.05)compared with those before treatment,and the decrease of the NIHSS scores and the increase of the MBI scores in the study group was significantly superior to those in control group 1 and control group 2(P<0.05),while and the differences of NIHSS and MBI scores after treatment between control group 1 and control group 2 were not statistically significant(P>0.05).(7)The incidence rate of adverse reactions was 15.38%(6/39)in the study group,7.69%(3/39)in the control group 1,and 12.82%(5/39)in the control group 2,and the pairwise comparison between groups showed that the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion Zhi Long Huoxue Tongyu Capsules combined with Edaravone exert certain efficacy in the treatment of patients with ICVD of qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome,and the combined therapy is effective on improving blood circulation,restoring neurological function,enhancing the ADL,with higher safety.Its therapeutic mechanism may be related to the improvement of the vascular endothelial function,and the down-regulation of serum levels of neurofactors of NSE,S100 β,MBP,and serum expression levels of sCD40L,Lp-PLA2,and GA.

Objective To explore the effect of Sanshen Shuxin Decoction combined with Huan-gqi Injection in the treatment of coronary heart disease(CHD)and its impacts on left ventricular function and Rho kinase(ROCK)expression.Methods A total of 120 CHD patients admitted to our hospital from August 2021 to August 2023 were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into three groups,with 40 patients in each group using a random number table method.All three groups received basic treatment.On this basis,control group 1 received Sanshen Shuxin Decoction,control group 2 received Huangqi Injection,and the combined group received both Sanshen Shuxin Decoction and Huangqi Injection.The treatment effects,occurrence of angina pectoris,hemorheo-logical parameters[fibrinogen(FIB),low-shear blood viscosity,erythrocyte aggregation index,high-shear blood viscosity],blood lipid indicators[total cholesterol(TG),triglycerides(TC),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)],car-diac function[stroke volume(SV),cardiac output(CO),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)],ROCK activity,and occurrence of adverse reactions were compared among the three groups.Results The total effective rate of treatment in the combined group was higher than that in control group 1 and control group 2(P<0.05).After 14 days of treatment,the frequency of angina pectoris episodes decreased and the duration of episodes shortened in all three groups compared with before treatment,and the combined group had a lower frequency and shorter duration of angina pec-toris episodes than control group 1 and control group 2(P<0.05).There were no statistically sig-nificant differences in the frequency and duration of angina pectoris episodes between control group 1 and control group 2 after 14 days of treatment(P>0.05).After 14 days of treatment,FIB level,e-rythrocyte aggregation index,low-shear blood viscosity,and high-shear blood viscosity decreased in all three groups compared with before treatment,and the combined group had lower values than con-trol group 1 and control group 2(P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in these hemorheological parameters between control group 1 and control group 2 after 14 days of treat-ment(P>0.05).After 14 days of treatment,TG,TC,and LDL-C levels decreased in all three groups compared with before treatment,and the combined group had lower levels than control group 1 and control group 2.HDL-C levels increased in all three groups compared with before treatment,and the combined group had higher HDL-C level than control group 1 and control group 2(P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in TG,TC,LDL-C,and HDL-C levels be-tween control group 1 and control group 2 after 14 days of treatment(P>0.05).After 14 days of treatment,LVEF,CO,and SV increased in all three groups compared with before treatment,and the combined group had higher values than control group 1 and control group 2(P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in LVEF,CO,and SV between control group 1 and con-trol group 2 after 14 days of treatment(P>0.05).Before treatment,ROCK activity was(61.28±7.15)%in the combined group,(60.85±5.93)%in control group 1,and(60.61±6.27)%in control group 2,with no statistically significant difference among the three groups(P>0.05).After 14 days of treatment,ROCK activity decreased in all three groups compared with before treatment,and the combined group had lower ROCK activity than control group 1 and control group 2(P<0.05).ROCK activity was(40.18±5.03)%in the combined group,(48.24±6.29)%in con-trol group 1,and(47.79±6.12)%in control group 2 after 14 days of treatment.There was no sta-tistically significant difference in ROCK activity between control group 1 and control group 2 after 14 days of treatment(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among the three groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Sanshen Shuxin Decoction combined with Huangqi Injection has a significant effect in the treatment of CHD patients.It can im-prove patients'prognosis and ensure treatment safety,demonstrating high clinical value.
