ObjectiveMolecular docking and animal experiments were employed to explore the protective effect and mechanism of Da Chengqitang (DCQD) on intestinal barrier in septic mice. MethodText mining method was used to screen the active ingredients in DCQD. AutoDock Tools and Discovery Studio were used to study the interactions of active components with the core target proteins [claudin-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, endogenous antimicrobial peptide mCRAMP, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88)] in sepsis. Fifty C57BL/6 mice were randomized into sham, model, low- and high-dose (4 g∙kg-1 and 8 g∙kg-1) DCQD, and ulinastatin groups (n=10). Before, during, and after the day of modeling surgery, each group was administrated with corresponding drugs. The mice in other groups except the model group were subjected to modeling by cecal ligation and puncture. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used measure the serum level of D-lactic acid to assess intestinal mucosa permeability. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe the histopathological changes in the ileum and assess the intestinal mucosal damage and inflammatory infiltration. Western blotting was employed to determine the expression levels of tight junction proteins claudin-1 and occludin in the ileal tissue, which were indicative of the bowel barrier function. The TNF-α and IL-6 levels were measured by ELISA to assess the intestinal inflammation. The expression of mCRAMP in the ileal tissue was observed by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA levels of mCRAMP, TLR4, and MyD88 in mouse ileal tissue were determined by Real-time polymerase chain reaction, on the basis of which the mechanism of DCQD in protecting the intestinal barrier of septic mice was explored. ResultMolecular docking results showed that most of the 10 active ingredients of DCQD that were screened out by text mining could bind to sepsis targets by van der Waals force, hydrogen bonding, and other conjugated systems. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the model group, low- or high-dose DCQD lowered the D-lactic acid level in the serum (P<0.01), alleviated damage to the ileal tissue and mucosal edema, protected the small intestine villus integrity, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, promoted the expression of claudin-1 (P<0.01), lowered the IL-6 level (P<0.01), up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of mCRAMP (P<0.01), and down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of TLR4 and MyD88 (P<0.01) in the ileal tissue. In addition, high-dose DCQD lowered the TNF-α level and promoted the expression of occludin in the ileum tissue (P<0.01), and low-dose DCQD up-regulated the protein level of occludin in the ileum tissue (P<0.05). ConclusionDCQD has a protective effect on intestinal barrier in septic mice. It can reduce intestinal inflammation, repair intestinal mucosal damage, improve the tight junction protein level, and reduce intestinal mucosal permeability by up-regulating the mRNA and protein levels of mCRAMP and the down-regulating the expression of genes in the TLR4/MyD88 pathway.

BackgroundCombination of antipsychotic drugs and modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT) is currently a commonly used method for treating schizophrenia, but its efficacy varies among different patient groups. ObjectiveTo explore the therapeutic effects of MECT on schizophrenia patients living in different urban versus rural environments, so as to provide references for the selection of treatment plans based on patients' residence. MethodsA total of 587 patients hospitalized at Luzhou Mental Health Center, Zigong Mental Health Center and Yibin Fourth People's Hospital from May 2018 to August 2022, who met the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) ,were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups: medication-only group (n=106) and MECT combined with medication group (n=481). In MECT combined with medication group, 24 rural patients residing in urban areas were excluded, leaving the remaining patients divided into urban group (n=103) and rural group (n=354) based on their place of residence. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess the severity of symptoms. Clinical efficacy was evaluated using PANSS score reduction rate, and covariance analysis was used to compare the therapeutic effects of different patients. ResultsThe differences of reduction rate of PANSS total score, positive symptom scale score and negative symptom scale score as well as treatment effectiveness rate between MECT combined with medication group and medication-only group were statistically significant (F=11.149, 12.111, 31.725, χ2=14.010, P<0.01). Statistically significant differences were also observed in reduction rate of PANSS total score and positive symptom subscale score as well as treatment effectiveness rate between urban and rural patients in MECT combined with medication group (F=3.946, 4.523, χ2=4.033, P<0.05). ConclusionThe efficacy of MECT combined with medication may be superior to medication alone in the treatment of schizophrenia, and the combined therapy may be more effective in urban patients than that in rural patients, with potentially more pronounced improvements in positive symptoms.

OBJECTIVE To mine the cardiovascular safety signal of relugolix, and provide a reference for the listing of this drug in China and future clinical safety drug evaluation. METHODS The adverse event (AE) report data of relugolix, as the primary or secondary suspected drug, was collected from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from the first quarter of 2021 to the third quarter of 2023. The reporting odds ratio (ROR) method was used for data mining. The AEs in the FAERS database were identified and coded using preferred terms (PT) stated in version 24.0 of the Medical Dictionary for Drug Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). The AEs of the target drug were identified by the narrow standardized MedDRA query (SMQ) terms and high-level term (HLT). Sensitivity analysis was conducted using AEs suspected to be primarily or secondarily related to relugolix or related to drug interaction and concomitant drug, and broad SMQ terms. RESULTS A total of 4 354 relugolix-related AE reports were extracted. In the primary analysis, nine SMQ terms were analyzed, involving 2 positive signals such as dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia/new onset diabetes mellitus. Eleven HLTs were analyzed, and three positive signals were detected for three terms including cholesterol analyses, triglyceride analyses and hyperglycemia conditions (non-alternative analysis). Sensitivity analysis results indicated the reliability of the study findings. CONCLUSIONS Relugolix may induce risk signals related to high blood lipids and high blood glucose, but no moderate risk signals such as hypertension, heart disease, and stroke are found. During relugolix treatment in clinical practice, attention must be paid to hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia-related AE.
