P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a transmembrane protein widely involved in the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) of drugs within the human body. Accurate prediction of P-gp inhibitors and substrates is crucial for drug discovery and toxicological assessment. However, existing models rely on limited molecular information, leading to suboptimal model performance for predicting P-gp inhibitors and substrates. To overcome this challenge, we compiled an extensive dataset from public databases and literature, consisting of 5,943 P-gp inhibitors and 4,018 substrates, notable for their high quantity, quality, and structural uniqueness. In addition, we curated two external test sets to validate the model's generalization capability. Subsequently, we developed a multimodal graph contrastive learning (GCL) model for the prediction of P-gp inhibitors and substrates (MC-PGP). This framework integrates three types of features from Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) sequences, molecular fingerprints, and molecular graphs using an attention-based fusion strategy to generate a unified molecular representation. Furthermore, we employed a GCL approach to enhance structural representations by aligning local and global structures. Extensive experimental results highlight the superior performance of MC-PGP, which achieves improvements in the area under the curve of receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) of 9.82% and 10.62% on the external P-gp inhibitor and external P-gp substrate datasets, respectively, compared with 12 state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, the interpretability analysis of all three molecular feature types offers comprehensive and complementary insights, demonstrating that MC-PGP effectively identifies key functional groups involved in P-gp interactions. These chemically intuitive insights provide valuable guidance for the design and optimization of drug candidates.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of sarcopenia in predicting the efficacy of bronchial artery chemoembolization(BACE)in patients with lung cancer.Methods The clinical data of 160 patients with lung cancer,who received BACE treatment at the Lishui Municipal Central Hospital of China from December 2012 to August 2021,were retrospectively analyzed.Using CT images to measure and calculate the skeletal muscle index(SMI)at the 4th thoracic vertebra(T4)level,patients with T4-SMI below the gender specific quartile were classified in sarcopenia group(n=40),and patients with T4-SMI above the threshold were classified in non-sarcopenia group(n=120).Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the differences in progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)between the two groups after BACE treatment,and Cox regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors affecting prognosis.Results In the non-sarcopenia group and the sarcopenia group,the median PFS was 5.6 months and 3.0 months respectively(x2=5.141,P=0.023),and the postoperative 14-month PFS rates were 16.7％and 5.0％respectively.There was no statistically significant difference in OS between the two groups(P＞0.05).Cox multivariate analysis showed that sarcopenia(HR=1.557,95％CI=1.083-2.238,P=0.017)was an independent risk factor for postoperative PFS after BACE.Conclusion Sarcopenia is an independent risk factor affecting the efficacy of BACE in patients with lung cancer,and sarcopenia can be used as a predictive indicator for the postoperative efficacy of BACE.

Objective To explore and analyze adverse drug events(ADE)signals of azithromycin,identify common adverse events and suspected adverse reactions that occur easily in the real clinical application of azithromycin.Methods The adverse drug event reports related to azithromycin recorded in the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database from October 1,2003,to October 1,2023,were mined using the OpenVigil 2.1 drug surveillance platform.Signal detection and analysis were carried out using the reporting odds ratio(ROR)and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network method(BCPNN).Results A total of 5498 ADE signals were identified,with a total of 112485 reports.Eventually,31,041 azithromycin-associated adverse event reports were extracted,involving 898 positive signals,27 system organ classes,mainly concentrated in respiratory system diseases,infections,gastrointestinal system diseases,and others.Additionally,some adverse reactions possibly caused by azithromycin were discovered,such as asthma,wheezing,and potential reactions like incomplete abortion.Conclusion When using azithromycin,besides paying attention to the adverse reactions listed in the drug instructions,we should also pay attention to some adverse reactions that have not been timely recorded or updated,in order to prevent the medication safety risks caused by outdated instructions,provide reasonable medication advice,and ensure the medication safety of patients.

Objective:To explore the clinical and pathological features and survival outcomes of patients with early-onset intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EOICC).Methods:This is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study. Data of 1 160 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients undergoing radical resection in 14 tertiary Grade A hospitals in China from January 2010 to November 2021 were retrospectively collected. The cohort included 632 males and 528 females, aged( M (IQR)) 61 (14) years (range: 22 to 93 years). ICC aged ≤50 years at the time of diagnosis was defined as EOICC and >50 years as late-onset intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (LOICC). Of these, there were 247 cases in the EOICC group and 913 cases in the LOICC. The clinical and pathological characteristics of both groups were analyzed and compared using the independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test or Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models for patient outcomes were constructed and forest graphed. Results:Compared with the patients in the LOICC group, patients in the EOICC group had lower carcinoembryonic antigen levels (2.5(4.0) μg/L vs. 3.1(5.2)μg/L, U=124 899, P=0.009) and CA19-9 level (63.4(524.7)U/ml vs. 77.9(611.3)U/ml, U=120 320, P=0.013), higher levels of ALT (29(35)U/L vs. 24(26)U/L, U=101 214, P=0.013), a lower score of the Eastern US Cooperative Oncology Group (0 score patients: 54.7% vs. 44.1%, χ2=12.472, P=0.014), higher TNM stage ( χ2=11.807, P=0.038), and proportion of lymph node dissection (62.3% vs. 54.1%, χ2=5.355, P=0.021). Patients in the two groups in sex, first diagnosis symptoms, intrahepatic bile duct stone history, nail protein, albumin, total bilirubin, transaminase, liver function Child-Pugh grade, T stage, stage, N stage, preoperative laparoscopic exploration proportion, tumor diameter, vascular invasion proportion, differentiation, margin, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative complications, postoperative hospital days were no statistical significance (all P>0.05). Patients in the EOICC group had better outcomes than the LOICC group (median survival time: 29.7 months vs. 25.0 months, 3-year overall survival: 45.1% vs. 37.8%, P=0.027). Conclusion:EOICC patients are better than LOICC patients in carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9, ALT, physical strength status and TNM stage, and the long-term prognosis is also better than LOICC patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the number of positive preoperative serological tumor markers on the surgical approach and prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. Data from 548 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after radical resection from October 2010 to April 2019 were retrospectively collected in 10 hospitals of China. There were 277 males and 271 females with an age of (57.8±10.2)years(range:23 to 84 years). Four hundred and twenty-six patients(77.7%) had at least one positive preoperative serum tumor marker. The data collection included the results of 4 preoperative serological tumor markers,other preoperative indicators(5 prodromal symptoms, 6 medical history,8 preoperative serological indicators,5 preoperative imaging indicators,and 14 preoperative pathological examination indicators),baseline data (gender and age),surgical methods,and prognostic follow-up data. Four preoperative results of serologic tumor marker and surgical procedure were converted into categorical variables. The number of positive preoperative serum tumor markers was used as the treatment variable,the surgical method was used as the mediating variable,and the survival time was used as the outcome variable. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to screen for other preoperative indicators which were independent factors that influenced the surgical procedure and the prognosis of patients as covariates to analyze the mediating effect.Results:Of the 548 patients included in the study, 176 patients (32.1%) underwent partial hepatectomy,151 patients(27.5%) underwent hemihepatectomy, and 221 patients(40.3%) underwent partial hepatectomy or hemihepatectomy combined with other treatments. The results of the univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers,intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,portal vein invasion,pathological differentiation,pathological type,vascular invasion,T stage,N stage and maximum tumor diameter were independent factors influencing the surgical procedure(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,pathological differentiation and T stage were independent prognostic factors for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,differentiation and T stage were included as covariates in the mediation effect model. The results showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers before surgery had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.092, P=0.039),and had a positive predictive effect on the surgical method ( β=0.244, P<0.01). The number of positive serum tumor markers had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.151, P=0.002). Direct and indirect effects accounted for 71.3% and 28.7% of total effects,respectively. Conclusions:The higher the positive number of preoperative tumor markers,the worse the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The number of positive cells not only directly affects the prognosis of patients,but also indirectly affects the prognosis of patients by affecting the surgical method.
