OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of amoxicillin combined with proton pump inhibitor （PPI） or potassium-competitive acid blocker （P-CAB） for Helicobacter pylori （Hp） eradication. METHODS Randomized controlled trial （RCTs） on amoxicillin combined with PPI or P-CAB for Hp eradication were retrieved from PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， Web of Science， CNKI， Wanfang， and VIP data. The search time frame was from database inception to September 5， 2025. After literature screening， data extraction， and quality assessment， a network meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software. RESULTS A total of 12 RCTs involving 5 515 patients were included， encompassing 8 therapeutic regimens： PPI combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 14 days （TR1）， PPI combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 14 days （TR2）， P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 7 days （TR3）， P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 14 days （TR4）， P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 10 days （TR5）， P-CAB combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 7 days （TR6）， P-CAB combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 14 days （TR7）， and P-CAB combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 10 days （TR8）. The network meta-analysis results showed that， in terms of intention-to-treat Hp eradication rates， the eradication rates of TR5 and TR4 were significantly higher than those of TR3， TR8， TR6 and TR1 （ P ＜0.05）. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve （SUCRA） values from highest to lowest were： TR4 （89.7%）＞TR5 （82.3%）＞TR7 （71.5%）＞ TR2 （48.6%）＞TR1 （43.9%）＞TR8 （28.7%）＞TR3 （22.7%）＞TR6 （12.6%）. Regarding safety， the incidence of adverse reactions in TR3 and TR5 was significantly lower than that in TR1 （ P ＜0.05）. The SUCRA values from highest to lowest were： TR1 （91.3%）＞TR4 （79.8%）＞TR5 （55.0%）＞TR7 （50.9%）＞TR8 （41.3%）＞TR2 （36.4%）＞TR3 （27.6%） ＞TR6 （17.7%）. CONCLUSIONS Although the regimen of P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 14 days demonstrates the best efficacy， the combination of P-CAB with high-dose amoxicillin for 10 days exhibits a better balanced profile in terms of both efficacy and safety.

Abstract The prevention and control of myopia in Chinese children and adolescents has become a major public health issue. While maintaining increased outdoor activity as a cornerstone intervention, there is an urgent need to explore new complementary approaches that can be effectively implemented in both indoor and outdoor settings. In recent years, environmental spatial frequency has gained increasing attention as one of the key environmental factors influencing the development and progression of myopia. Both animal studies and human research have confirmed that indoor environments lacking mid to high spatial frequency components, often characterized as "visually impoverished", can promote axial elongation and myopia through mechanisms such as disruption of retinal neural signaling, impaired accommodative function, and altered expression of related molecules. Based on the scientific consensus, it is recommended that "enriching of environmental spatial frequency" should be integrated into the myopia prevention and control framework. Following the principles of schoolled organization, family cooperation, community involvement, and student participation, specific measures are put forward in three areas：optimizing school visual settings, improving home spatial environments, and promoting healthy visual behavior. The aim is to create "visually friendly" indoor environments as an important supplement to outdoor activity, thereby providing a novel perspective and strategy for comprehensively advancing myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents.

ObjectiveBased on the clinical characteristics of chronic gouty arthritis （CGA） in both traditional Chinese and western medicine， this study aims to systematically evaluate the clinical concordance of existing CGA animal models， providing recommendations for establishing animal models that align with the pathological characteristics of CGA and the manifestations of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes. MethodsBy comprehensively retrieving Chinese and international databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure， Wanfang， VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database （VIP）， and PubMed， all relevant literature on CGA animal models was collected. Based on the guidelines， the diagnostic criteria of both traditional Chinese and western medicine were summarized and organized. The evaluation indicators for the CGA model were constructed with reference to existing evaluation modes， and the CGA animal models were analyzed to systematically evaluate the clinical concordance of existing models. ResultsThe current methods used to construct CGA animal models mainly include monosodium urate crystal induction， high-protein diet induction （poultry lack urate oxidase）， and high-fat diet combined with urate oxidase inhibitors and joint injection. Based on 11 pieces of included literature， the traditional Chinese and western medicine scoring data of each model were extracted， and the average scoring values of all models were ultimately calculated. The results show that the average clinical concordances of existing CGA animal models in both traditional Chinese and western medicine are 43.33% and 64.44%， respectively. Among them， the model with the highest clinical concordance rate is the one with a high-fat diet combined with potassium oxonate to induce hyperuricemia plus joint injection， achieving 83.33% clinical concordance in western medicine and 60% in traditional Chinese medicine. This model aligns well with the pathogenic characteristics and pathological changes of clinical CGA. ConclusionAlthough current CGA animal models can simulate some pathological characteristics of CGA， they struggle to comprehensively reflect the complex pathological processes of CGA and the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes. Therefore， in the future， it is necessary to establish the CGA animal models that incorporate the clinical disease and syndrome characteristics of traditional Chinese and western medicine and formulate the uniform model evaluation criteria， providing more precise tools for CGA mechanism research and the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Tumor drug resistance is an important problem in the failure of chemotherapy and targeted drug therapy, which is a complex process involving chromatin remodeling. SWI/SNF is one of the most studied ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes in tumorigenesis, which plays an important role in the coordination of chromatin structural stability, gene expression, and post-translation modification. However, its mechanism in tumor drug resistance has not been systematically combed. SWI/SNF can be divided into 3 types according to its subunit composition: BAF, PBAF, and ncBAF. These 3 subtypes all contain two mutually exclusive ATPase catalytic subunits (SMARCA2 or SMARCA4), core subunits (SMARCC1 and SMARCD1), and regulatory subunits (ARID1A, PBRM1, and ACTB, etc.), which can control gene expression by regulating chromatin structure. The change of SWI/SNF complex subunits is one of the important factors of tumor drug resistance and progress. SMARCA4 and ARID1A are the most widely studied subunits in tumor drug resistance. Low expression of SMARCA4 can lead to the deletion of the transcription inhibitor of the BCL2L1 gene in mantle cell lymphoma, which will result in transcription up-regulation and significant resistance to the combination therapy of ibrutinib and venetoclax. Low expression of SMARCA4 and high expression of SMARCA2 can activate the FGFR1-pERK1/2 signaling pathway in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma cells, which induces the overexpression of anti-apoptosis gene BCL2 and results in carboplatin resistance. SMARCA4 deletion can up-regulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by activating YAP1 gene expression in triple-negative breast cancer. It can also reduce the expression of Ca²⁺ channel IP3R3 in ovarian and lung cancer, resulting in the transfer of Ca²⁺ needed to induce apoptosis from endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria damage. Thus, these two tumors are resistant to cisplatin. It has been found that verteporfin can overcome the drug resistance induced by SMARCA4 deletion. However, this inhibitor has not been applied in clinical practice. Therefore, it is a promising research direction to develop SWI/SNF ATPase targeted drugs with high oral bioavailability to treat patients with tumor resistance induced by low expression or deletion of SMARCA4. ARID1A deletion can activate the expression of ANXA1 protein in HER2+ breast cancer cells or down-regulate the expression of progesterone receptor B protein in endometrial cancer cells. The drug resistance of these two tumor cells to trastuzumab or progesterone is induced by activating AKT pathway. ARID1A deletion in ovarian cancer can increase the expression of MRP2 protein and make it resistant to carboplatin and paclitaxel. ARID1A deletion also can up-regulate the phosphorylation levels of EGFR, ErbB2, and RAF1 oncogene proteins.The ErbB and VEGF pathway are activated and EMT is increased. As a result, lung adenocarcinoma is resistant to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). Although great progress has been made in the research on the mechanism of SWI/SNF complex inducing tumor drug resistance, most of the research is still at the protein level. It is necessary to comprehensively and deeply explore the detailed mechanism of drug resistance from gene, transcription, protein, and metabolite levels by using multi-omics techniques, which can provide sufficient theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of poor tumor prognosis caused by mutation or abnormal expression of SWI/SNF subunits in clinical practice.

The dysregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase 12(CDK12),which may result from genomic alterations or modulation by upstream effectors,is implicated in cancer oncogenesis and progression.CDK12 over-expression or activation is sufficient to induce tumor initiation,recurrence,and therapeutic resistance.However,CDK12 may also exert tumor-suppressive functions in a context-dependent manner.Therefore,caution is warranted when targeting CDK12 in future clinical trials.A comprehensive elucidation of the dual roles and underlying mechanisms of CDK12 in carcinogenesis is urgently needed to advance pre-cision oncology.This review provides an overview of the current understanding of the dysregulation and biological roles of CDK12 in cancer.Subsequently,we systematically summarize the functions and mechanisms of the oncogenic and tumor-suppressive roles of CDK12 in different contexts.Finally,we discuss the potential of CDK12 as a novel therapeutic target and its implications in clinical oncology,offering insights into future directions for innovative cancer treatment strategies.

Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)exerts integrative effects on complex diseases owing to the char-acteristics of multiple components with multiple targets.However,the syndrome-based system of diagnosis and treatment in TCM can easily lead to bias because of varying medication preferences among physicians,which has been a major challenge in the global acceptance and application of TCM.Therefore,a standardized TCM prescription system needs to be explored to promote its clinical application.In this study,we first developed a gradient weighted disease-target-herbal ingredient-herb network to aid TCM formulation.We tested its efficacy against intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).First,the top 100 ICH targets in the GeneCards database were screened according to their relevance scores.Then,SymMap and Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology(TCMSP)databases were applied to find out the target-related ingredients and ingredient-containing herbs,respectively.The relevance of the resulting ingredients and herbs to ICH was determined by adding the relevance scores of the corresponding targets.The top five ICH therapeutic herbs were combined to form a tailored TCM prescriptions.The absorbed components in the serum were detected.In a mouse model of ICH,the new prescription exerted multifaceted effects,including improved neurological function,as well as attenuated neuronal damage,cell apoptosis,vascular leakage,and neuroinflammation.These effects matched well with the core pathological changes in ICH.The multi-targets-directed gradient-weighting strategy presents a promising avenue for tailoring precise,multipronged,unbiased,and standardized TCM prescriptions for complex diseases.This study provides a paradigm for advanced achievements-driven modern innovation in TCM concepts.

Natural antimicrobial peptides(AMPs)are promising candidates for the development of a new gener-ation of antimicrobials to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogens.They have found extensive applications in the fields of medicine,food,and agriculture.However,efficiently screening AMPs from natural sources poses several challenges,including low efficiency and high antibiotic resistance.This review focuses on the action mechanisms of AMPs,both through membrane and non-membrane routes.We thoroughly examine various highly efficient AMP screening methods,including whole-bacterial adsorption binding,cell membrane chromatography(CMC),phospholipid membrane chromatography binding,membrane-mediated capillary electrophoresis(CE),colorimetric assays,thin layer chromatography(TLC),fluorescence-based screening,genetic sequencing-based analysis,computational mining of AMP data-bases,and virtual screening methods.Additionally,we discuss potential developmental applications for enhancing the efficiency of AMP discovery.This review provides a comprehensive framework for identifying AMPs within complex natural product systems.

Objective To explore the value of proton density fat fraction(PDFF)and R2* based on iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least squares estimation quantification(IDEAL-IQ)sequence in the assessment of vertebral fat and trabecular structure in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.Methods A total of 85 postmenopausal women who underwent abdominal CT scans were selected and divided into three groups using quantitative computed tomography(QCT):osteoporosis group(30 cases),osteopenia group(29 cases),and normal bone mass group(26 cases).MRI examinations were performed within 2 weeks,the sequences including lumbar sagittal IDEAL-IQ and T2* mapping.The images were uploaded to the post-processing workstation,and the mean PDFF,IDEAL-R2* and gradient echo(GRE)-R2* were calculated for the L1-L5 vertebral body.One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the differences between the parameters among the three groups,and Spearman was used to compare the correlations between PDFF and bone mineral density(BMD),R2* value,as well as BMD and R2* value.The Bland-Altman plot was drawn to evaluate the consistency of IDEAL-R2* and GRE-R2*,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to further evaluate the diagnostic performance of PDFF and R2* values for osteoporosis and osteopenia.Results There were significant differences in PDFF and BMD values among normal bone mass group,osteopenia group and osteoporosis group(P＜0.05),and R2* values were reduced in the osteoporosis group compared to the normal bone mass group(P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that PDFF was negatively correlated with BMD(r=-0.558,P＜0.05),negatively correlated with R2*[r=-0.250(IDEAL),-0.354(GRE),both P＜0.05],and positively correlated with BMD and R2*[r=0.351(IDEAL),0.457(GRE),both P＜0.05].The Bland-Altman plots showed that the mean value of the difference between IDEAL-R2* and GRE-R2* was-4.5 Hz,and the results were highly consistent.ROC curves showed no significant difference in the diagnostic efficacy of IDEAL-R2* and GRE-R2* in the assessment of osteoporosis and osteopenia(Z=0.526,1.327,P=0.599,0.185),but the diagnostic efficacy of both was lower than PDFF[area under the curve(AUC)=0.846(osteoporosis),0.684(oseopenia)].Conclusion IDEAL-IQ sequence-derived PDFF and R2* values are effective biological indicators for one-stop assessment of vertebral fat and microscopic trabecular structure in osteoporosis,which have certain clinical value.

Objective:To analyze the prediction of pathological classification of ground glass nodules based on artificial intelligence computed tomography (CT) quantitative parameters combined with histogram parameters.Methods:The clinical data of 268 suspected patients with ground glass nodules admitted to Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively selected as the research subjects. They were divided into pre invasive lesions group (100 cases) and invasive lesions group(168 cases) according to pathological classification. Basic data of patients with different pathological classifications and the CT characteristics were compared, the prediction of pathological classification of ground glass nodules based on CT quantitative parameters combined and histogram parameters were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The edge and boundary of the tumor, shape of the lesion, the peripheral signs of the lesion and the boundary between the two groups had statistical differences ( P<0.05). The CT quantitative parameters of maximum diameter, lesion volume, average CT value in the invasive lesions group and pre invasive lesions group had statistical differences: (15.29 ± 3.20) cm vs. (9.75 ± 2.14) cm, (1.54 ± 0.31) cm 3 vs. (0.51 ± 0.10) cm 3, (- 328.16 ± 46.35) HU vs. (-541.25 ± 100.30) HU, P<0.05. The CT histogram parameters of inproportion of solid components, entropy and maximum CT value in the invasive lesions group and pre invasive lesions group had statistical differences: (66.39 ± 13.25)% vs. (42.65 ± 11.20)%, 4.31 ± 0.52 vs. 3.32 ± 0.39, (-75.34 ± 21.27) HU vs. (-141.72 ± 32.43)HU, P<0.05. Compared with the single prediction of CT quantitative parameters and CT histogram parameters, the combined prediction of the two parameters had higher value in predicting different pathological subtypes of ground glass nodules (the area under the curve was 0.877, P = 0.001). Conclusions:The combined detection of CT quantitative parameters and histogram parameters based on artificial intelligence can effectively evaluate the invasion status of ground glass nodules, which is beneficial for improving the detection of different pathological types of ground glass nodules.

OBJECTIVE Aimed to investigate the impact of comorbid asthma on chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps(CRSwNP)and identify key proteins and signaling pathways.METHODS Proteomic methods were employed to analyze differentially expressed proteins(DEPs)in nasal lavage fluid(NLF)from control,CRSwNP,and CRSwNP with asthma groups.DIA quantitative analysis technology was used to assess the gradient changes of DEPs among the three groups to determine key proteins affected by comorbid asthma in CRSwNP.RESULTS Compared to the control group,1 377 and 1 006 DEPs were identified in the CRSwNP and CRSwNP with asthma groups,respectively.Peroxiredoxin-5(PRDX5),Ran-Binding Protein 1(RanBP1)(upregulated),and Keratin 9(KRT9)(downregulated)were identified as key proteins affecting CRSwNP with asthma.CONCLUSION Comorbid asthma may promote the occurrence and development of nasal polyps through specific key proteins and signaling pathways,providing new molecular insights into the interaction between CRSwNP and asthma.
