Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer is aggressive and prone to metastasis,and the applications of HER2 agents have improved the prognosis of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Among the marketed HER2 agents,macromolecular monoclonal antibodies that target the extracellular domain Ⅳ of HER2 were the cornerstone drugs of HER2-positive breast cancer,including trastuzumab,inetetamab,and margetuximab. Trastuzumab is available for the full-line treatment of breast cancer with sufficient proof of evidence-based medicine,sufficient practical experience and controllable safety. Inetetamab and trastuzumab have similar efficacy and controllable safety in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and neoadjuvant/ adjuvant therapy. Margetuximab focuses on patients carrying the CD16A-158F allele,and is an option of posterior line treatment for advanced breast cancer. It is necessary to select the most suitable drugs clinically according to the specific condition of the patient.

It is believed that all kinds of gynaecological diseases are mostly related to deficiency and stagnation of qi and blood. Medicinal insects are good at running and scurrying, with the effectiveness of activating blood circulation and dispelling blood stasis, moving qi and relieving pain, searching and dredging collaterals, attacking hardness and dissipating mass, and purging foetus and resolving mass, etc. Appropriate prescriptions can enhance the effectiveness of the formula in eliminating blood stasis and eliminating stagnation. In the treatment of menstrual disorders, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine cavity disease, incomplete miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and other gynaecological diseases, medicinal insects including Quanxie (Scorpio), Wugong (Scolopendra), Tubiechong (Eupolyphaga/Steleophaga), Jiuxiangchong (Coridius chinenses), Shuizhi (Hirudo), Mangchong (Tabanus), Dilong (Pheretima) and other insects for medicinal purposes could be used, and the self-prescribed empirical formulas such as Sanhuang Decoction (三黄汤), Hongteng Decoction (红藤汤), Penning Decoction (盆宁方), Shapei Decoction (杀胚方), and Gongwaiyun Decoction (宫外孕方) and so on, were all applied medicinal insects and showed effective in clinic.
6.Angiogenesis mechanism of metal ions and their application in bone tissue engineering
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2024;28(5):804-812
BACKGROUND:Owing to excellent angiogenesis activity and their participation in the physiological processes such as angiogenesis in osteogenesis,the researches and applications of a variety of metal ions are getting deeper in the field of bone tissue engineering. OBJECTIVE:To systematically explain the mechanism of angiogenesis of different metal ions such as copper ion(Cu2+),magnesium ion(Mg2+),strontium ion(Sr2+),zinc ion(Zn2+),cobalt ion(Co2+)and their current research situation as well as application in the treatment of diseases in the field of bone tissue engineering. METHODS:The two authors used PubMed and CNKI to search the literature published between 2017 and 2022 with the search terms"copper ion,magnesium ion,strontium ion,zinc ion,cobalt ion,bone,angiogenesis"in Chinese and"copper,cuprum,Cu,magnesium,Mg,strontium,Sr,zinc,Zn,cobalt,Co,metal ion,angiogenesis,bone"in English.After reading titles and abstracts,the articles were initially screened,and irrelevant articles were excluded.Finally,114 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Metal ions can regulate angiogenesis by acting on vascular endothelial growth factors,hypoxia-inducible factors,angiogenesis-related genes,endothelial cells and conducting immune regulation of macrophages.(2)Metal ions such as copper,magnesium,strontium,zinc and cobalt are often used to improve the performance of tissue engineering scaffolds due to their significant angiogenic effect.Among them,hydrogels,bioceramics and synthetic polymer materials are widely used at present,and magnesium and its alloys also have advantages due to their excellent bearing capacity.However,these materials all have some defects.Currently,there is no ideal bone replacement material.(3)Various metal ions show different application potentials in bone replacement materials:Copper has antibacterial,angiogenic and osteogenic properties,and is mainly used for bone defects caused by infection and tumors.Magnesium and zinc have strong biodegradability,so the degradation rate should be controlled.Magnesium is corrosive and is mainly used as an alloy.The angiogenesis mechanism of zinc is less involved.Magnesium and strontium are effective in treating osteoporotic bone defects.(4)The above five metal ions(copper,magnesium,strontium,zinc and cobalt)have a significant role in promoting angiogenesis and then promote osteogenesis through angiogenesis.Some ions,such as copper ions,have a bactericidal effect.These ions can be used as a new strategy for the treatment of bone defects caused by tumors,osteoporosis,infection and trauma,but the current clinical trials and application studies of products are relatively insufficient.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics and related factors of pesticide poisoning occurred in daily life in Tiantai County, Zhejiang Province from 2015 to 2023, and to provide a basis for the prevention and control of pesticide poisoning. MethodsThe information of pesticide poisoning cases was obtained from the occupational disease and occupational health information monitoring system of the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, death data was obtained from the Zhejiang Province Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System, so that the poisoning incidence rate and the fatality rate were analyzed. ResultsA total of 439 cases of pesticide poisoning occurred in life were reported in Tiantai County from 2015 to 2023, of which mainly concentrated in the second quarter of each year, with an average annual incidence rate of 10.62/105 and fatality rate of 14.81%.The main cause of poisoning in < 15 years old group was accidental ingestion, while the main cause in ≥15 years old group was self-poisoning, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=103.518, P<0.001).The average annual incidence of pesticide poisoning occurred in life in the urban area was significantly lower than that in the rural area, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=30.871, P<0.001).The main types of pesticide poisoning were insecticides (65.15%), and paraquat had the highest fatality rate (47.73%). The results of binary logistic regression analysis indicated that age and types of pesticide poisoning may be the independent risk factors affecting the fatality of pesticide poisoning in daily life. ConclusionPesticide poisoning occurred frequently in Tiantai County over the years, and mainly occurred in summer, rural areas. Except for <15 years old group who were accidental ingestion,the other cases were mainly self-poisoning. The elderly and herbicide users should be the focus of key intervention targets. It is suggested to take personalized preventive and curative measures to intervene by age, seasons, regions and types to reduce the incidence and fatality rate of pesticide poisoning in daily life, and strengthen psychological health interventions to the cases of attempting to suicide.
