OBJECTIVE To analyze the safety and efficacy of vonoprazan (VPZ) in the treatment of peptic ulcer (PU) and post-endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) ulcers, providing evidence-based pharmaceutical evidence for clinical practice and medical decision-making. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, meta-analyses/systematic reviews related to VPZ in the treatment of PU and post-ESD ulcers were collected. Two researchers independently performed literature screening, data extraction, quality assessment of included studies, and evaluation of literature overlap. By employing the umbrella review analysis, a fresh meta-analysis was conducted on all relevant raw research data when a high degree of overlap was identified among the included studies. RESULTS A total of 17 meta-analyses were included, with quality ranging from high to very low; all outcome measures involved showed a very high level of overlap in the included meta-analyses (corrected covered area: 22.22%-100%). In the treatment of post-ESD ulcers, compared to proton pump inhibitor (PPI), VPZ significantly improved the ulcer healing rate at 4 weeks post-ESD [RR=1.27, 95%CI (1.03, 1.56), Z=2.21, P= 0.027] and the ulcer contraction rate post-ESD [MD=0.08, 95%CI (0.00, 0.16), Z=2.09, P=0.037], while significantly reducing the ulcer recurrence rate in patients with a history of PU [RR=0.49, 95%CI (0.32, 0.73), Z=3.49, P=0.001]; the delayed bleeding rate in the VPZ group was significantly lower than that in the lansoprazole subgroup [RR=0.47, 95%CI (0.25, 0.90), Z=2.28, P=0.02]. In the treatment of PU, the incidence of adverse events with VPZ was significantly higher than that with PPI in the duodenal ulcer subgroup [RR=1.13, 95%CI (1.02, 1.26), Z=2.38, P=0.017]. CONCLUSIONS For post-ESD ulcers, VPZ demonstrates superior therapeutic efficacy compared to PPI and can reduce ulcer recurrence rates in patients with a history of PU. However, it does not offer advantages in terms of safety for duodenal ulcer treatment.

Objective:To observe the effect of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at different frequencies on cognitive impairment due to high-altitude hypoxia.Methods:Sixty officers and soldiers displaying cognitive impairment in a hypoxic high-altitude environment were randomly divided into 15Hz, 20Hz and 25Hz groups, each of 20. They were given rTMS at those frequencies for 30 days. Before the stimulation and after 15 and 30 days, event-related potentials, latencies of mismatched negativity (MMN) and P300 signals were recorded. The participants′ cognition was also evaluated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA). Correlation between the electrophysiological indexes and the MoCA scores was computed.Results:After 15 days, all had shorter MMN latencies, higher total MoCA scores and better memory scores. The only significant difference among the three groups was in the average memory scores. After 15 days, MMN latency was significantly negatively correlated with the memory scores in all three groups ( r=0.44 to -0.54). Conclusions:rTMS at frequencies above 15Hz can effectively relieve cognitive impairment, especially memory dysfunction, resulting from high-altitude hypoxia.
4.Occurrence risk of extrahepatic liver tumor with hepatitis B virus infection
Chinese Journal of Hepatology 2025;33(4):395-401
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem, which mainly causes a series of liver diseases such as hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, recent years' studies have shown that the occurrence of multiple extrahepatic malignancies may also be associated with HBV infection. For example, studies have found that patients with HBV infection have a significantly higher risk of developing digestive system tumors such as gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer, as well as an increased risk of other systemic malignancies such as lymphoma, leukemia, and oral cancer. Although the liver is the primary target organ of HBV, the presence of the virus in non-hepatic tissues suggests that it may play an impact in the development of other extrahepatic tumors. The findings of these associations have important implications for public health policies and cancer prevention strategies, emphasizing the need for multisystem tumor screening in patients with HBV infection.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by articular cartilage degeneration, synovial hyperplasia, hyperosteogeny, and narrowing of joint space, which can be caused by trauma, inflammation, and other factors. With the increasing global population aging, the incidence of OA is rising year by year, making it a major public health problem that urgently needs to be addressed. Exploring effective treatment schemes is particularly important. The pathogenesis of OA is complex, including oxidative stress, autophagy, and apoptosis. Recent studies have found that ferroptosis, a new type of cell death, is also an important pathogenic factor in OA, characterized by a series of complex changes such as iron ion accumulation, glutathione (GSH) depletion, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Research shows that inhibiting ferroptosis in chondrocytes can promote chondrocyte proliferation, delay extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, and reduce synovial hyperplasia and inflammation. Targeting ferroptosis is a new direction in the treatment of OA. OA treatment includes intra-articular injections of steroids or hyaluronic acid and artificial joint replacement, but there are limitations. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been widely used in the treatment of various diseases because of its low cost, low drug resistance, and few side effects. Cell and animal experiments have further confirmed that TCM can intervene in the treatment of OA with ferroptosis from multiple targets, multiple levels, and aspects, but the mechanism of its treatment of OA based on ferroptosis has not been clarified. This paper discussed iron metabolism, lipid peroxidation, cysteine/glutamate transporter system Xc- (system Xc-)/GSH/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) pathway, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADPH)/ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1)/coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) pathway, tumor protein p53 in OA, and related molecular targets of Chinese medicine monomers and compounds on ferroptosis inhibition. Their potential therapeutic mechanisms were further analyzed to provide theoretical guidance for the treatment of OA by TCM and useful reference for the research and development of related drugs.
