BACKGROUND: Poly adenosine-diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) have been approved to act as first-line maintenance (FL-M) therapy and as platinum-sensitive recurrent maintenance (PSR-M) therapy for ovarian cancer in China for >5 years. Herein, we have analyzed the clinical-application characteristics of olaparib and niraparib in ovarian cancer-maintenance therapy in a real-world setting to strengthen our understanding and promote their rational usage. METHODS: A retrospective chart review identified patients with newly diagnosed or platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer, who received olaparib or niraparib as maintenance therapy at Sichuan Cancer Hospital between August 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021. Patient medical records were reviewed. We grouped and analyzed patients based on the type of PARPi they used (the olaparib group and the niraparib group) and the line of PARPi maintenance therapy (the FL-M setting and the PSR-M setting). The primary endpoint was the 24-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate. RESULTS: In total, 131 patients (olaparib: n = 67, 51.1%; niraparib: n = 64, 48.9%) were enrolled. Breast cancer susceptibility genes ( BRCA ) mutations ( BRCA m) were significantly less common in the niraparib group than in the olaparib group [9.4% (6/64) vs . 62.7% (42/67), P <0.001], especially in the FL-M setting [10.4% (5/48) vs . 91.4% (32/35), P <0.001]. The 24-month progression-free survival (PFS) rates in the FL-M and PSR-M settings were 60.4% and 45.7%, respectively. In patients with BRCA m, the 24-month PFS rates in the FL-M and PSR-M settings were 62.2% and 72.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Olaparib and niraparib were effective in patients with ovarian cancer without any new safety signals except for skin pigmentation. In patients with BRCA m, the 24-month PFS of the PARPi used in the PSR-M setting was even higher than that used in the FL-M setting.

Objective: The characteristics and differences of the general notice between the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia were investigated to provide references and suggestions for the compilation of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
Methods: From the perspective of frame structure and main contents, the general notice between the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia was compared.
Results: Each volume of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia had its general notice, including 34 to 48 items and 10 to 12 chapters based on different varieties collected in each volume. The Japanese Pharmacopoeia had 49 items not arranged by chapters. There are many differences on the general notice between the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, such as the definitions and expressions of names, determination of appearance, revision rules, risk assessment and quality control conception. The framework of the general notice in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia was clear, the content was specific and the operation was friendly. The term description of the general notice in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia was concise, and some terms need to be implemented under the guidance of professional knowledge.
Conclusion: In light of comparative study, every volume’s general notice of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia has its own characteristics. By integrating advanced analytical technique, combining the requirements with laws and regulations, and optimizing content and terms, all volume’s general notice could be explored to be coordinated and unified.

OBJECTIVE To establish an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous determination of 30 compounds(including antianginal drugs, anticoagulant, anti-platelet aggregators and anti-inflammatory analgesics) illegally added in Chinese patent medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. METHODS The sample was extracted by ultrasonication with 60% methanol. The analysis was performed on Phenomenex Kinetex C18 column (2.1 mm×100 mm, 2.6 μm) with gradient elution using 0.1% formic acid solution and acetonitrile as the mobile phase at the flow rate of 0.3 mL·min–1, and the column temperature was 40 ℃. Mass spectrometry was collected using electrospray ionization (ESI), simultaneous scanning of positive and negative ions, and multiple reaction monitoring mode. RESULTS The linearity of the 30 compounds was good in the mass range examined, with the correlation coefficients all >0.999. The limits of detection of each compound ranged from 1.3 to 238.4 ng·g–1 and the average recoveries ranged from 63.7% to 108.2% with the RSDs of 1.0% to 6.7%. The method was used to test 90 batches of Shujin Huoxue tablets. Paracetamol was detected in 3 batches, while the rest of the compounds were not detected. The amount of paracetamol detected ranged from 0.16 to 0.93 μg per tablet, which was much lower than the minimum daily dose of the corresponding drug, excluding intentional addition. The probable explanation was the residues caused by incomplete cleaning validation of the enterprise’s collinear production. CONCLUSION This method is rapid, accurate, highly sensitive, and highly selective, and can be used for qualitative screening and quantitative determination of 30 chemical compounds illegally added in Chinese patent medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Objective:To investigate the application value of KARL iterative algorithm combined with low-dose CT scanning in young and middle-aged patients with femoral neck fractures.Methods:The clinical data of 132 young and middle-aged patients with femoral neck fractures diagnosed by clinical and CT scan in Taizhou Bo′ai Hospital from August 2019 to May 2022 were collected. There were 68 cases in the conventional dose group reconstructed by projection, and 64 cases in the low dose group reconstructed by KARL iterative algorithm. The subjective image quality score, the excellent and good rates and CT value, signal to noise ratio (SNR) were compared between the two groups. The effective dose (ED), CT dose index (CTDIvol), dose-length product (DLP) were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no significant differences in subjective image quality score, the excellent and good rates between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in CT values and SNR of the trabecular dense area at the central level of the femoral head, the iliopsoas muscle at the same level, and the anterior abdominal wall or buttocks subcutaneous fat at the same level between the two groups ( P>0.05). The levels of CTDIvol, DLP and ED in he low-dose group were lower than those in the conventional dose group: (3.35 ± 1.05) mGy vs. (12.90 ± 2.92) mGy, (66.33 ± 20.26) mGy/cm vs. (253.12 ± 58.57) mGy/cm, (0.99 ± 0.30) mSv vs. (3.79 ± 0.88) mSv, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Based on KARL iterative algorithm combined with low-dose CT scanning has no significant effect on the clinical diagnosis and classification of femoral neck fractures, the scanning image has a high objective evaluation value, and can effectively reduce the radiation dose received by patients, which is useful for clinical preoperative diagnosis and surgical planning.

Objective To compare the curative effect of tissue-selecting therapy stapler and procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids in the treatment of patients with stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ hemorrhoids.Methods The patients with stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ hemorrhoids who underwent prolapse and hemorrhoids or tissue-selecting therapy stapler surgery in the department of General Surgery,Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital and Xinhua Hua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,Chongming Branch,from Jan.2013 to Jun.2014 were accepted and allocated to prolapse and hemorrhoids or tissue-selecting therapy stapler group.The peri-operative parameters about operative time,blood loss,postoperative hospital stay and the time required to return to normal activity were compared by t test,The postoperative complications including pain assessment and the incidence of postoperative bleeding,urine retention,faecal urgency,fecal incontinence,anal stenosis,rectovaginal fistula and recurrence rate were compared by t test and chi-square test.Rank sum test was used to compare the recurrence rate and patient's satisfaction between the two groups.Results The operation time,intraoperative bleeding volum,postoperative hospital stay and the time required to return to normal activity in the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids group were signifcantly higher than those in the tissue-selecting therapy stapler group (P =0.021,P =0.003,P =0.001,P ＜0.001).The pain score of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids group were all higher than those of the tissue-selecting therapy stapler group in the first post-operative defecation and in post-operative 24 hours and 72 hours (all P ＜ 0.001).The incidence of faecal urgency of the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids group in post-operative 1 month (18.6％) was higher than that of the tissue-selecting therapy stapler group (6.6％) (P =0.036).There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of postoperative bleeding,urinary retention,recurrence rate and patient's satisfaction between two group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Tissue-selecting therapy stapler was superior to the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids in operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative pain and the incidence of faecal urgency.Long-term results demonstrate that tissue-selecting therapy stapler and prolapse and hemorrhoids have similar effectiveness.

Objectives:To investigate the impact of doctor-attacking on medical students’ occupation atti-tude. Methods: We conducted a sample survey towards different major of Wenzhou Medical University by using self - made questionnaire. Reults: The occupation attitude of interviewee is not so bad, the confidence about the occupation is really deep down and the occupational sense of mission worries a lot of people. Doctor-attacking cases damage the honorable sense of occupation, even threatens basic personal security. The spread passive emotion by Network media , as well as the varied choices of occupations, expand the influence of hospital violence. Conclusions: The fre-quent occurrences of doctor-attacking cases weaken the occupational attitude of medical students and became the obstruc-tion to be a doctor,countermeasures should be taken from multiaspect of society,media,schools and teachers through a va-riety of ways.

OBJECTIVETo explore the molecular biological mechanism of Arnebia Root oil (AO) in promoting the recovery of surface of wound by observing basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mRNA expression in the wound tissue and healing rate of the wound.

METHODSPatients in the observed group with their wound treated by AO and those in the control group treated by petrolatum gauze. The wound surface healing rate was estimated and bFGF mRNA expression was observed by RT-PCR.

RESULTSEndogenous bFGF mRNA expression existed in the wound surface of both groups, but its level in the observed group at any time point was obviously higher than that in the control group respectively, with significant difference in comparison of the gray density between the two groups (P < 0.05). The wound surface healing rate kept abreast with bFGF mRNA expression in wound tissues, so it was significantly higher in the observed group than that in the control group (P < 0.05). GAPDH gene, which was taken as a parameter for internal reference, expressed with a certain amount unchanged in different periods of healing (P > 0.05 ).

CONCLUSIONAO shows obviously promotive action on bFGF, an important regulatory factor on wound healing, it might complete the recovery process by stimulating the increase of bFGF.
