ObjectiveThis study aims to systematically analyze the blood-absorbed components and metabolic profiles of Xiebaisan（XBS） in normal and chronic bronchitis （CB） mice using ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）， while comparing differences between the two states. MethodsThirty female BABL/c mice were randomly divided into the normal group， the normal drug administration group， the CB group， the CB drug administration group and the dexamethasone group， with 6 mice in each group. The CB mouse model was established by inducing with ovalbumin （OVA）. The mice in the normal drug administration group and the CB drug administration group started to be gavaged with XBS（13.2 g·kg^-1） from the 21^st day， and the dexamethasone group mice were simultaneously gavaged with dexamethasone （0.5 mg·kg^-1） until the end of the 35^th day of the experiment. Subsequently， serum samples were collected and evaluated for their efficacy， based on the pharmacological evaluation indicators， to determine the efficacy of XBS in treating CB. Then the UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS was employed to identify and analyze the chemical constituents， blood-absorbed components， and metabolites of XBS. Chemometric analysis was conducted to reveal metabolic profile differences under "dual states". Concurrently， Real-time PCR technology was utilized to detect the expression levels of key liver metabolic enzymes CYP2E1， CYP3A1， UGT1A1， and UGT1A6. ResultsA total of 28 prototype components and 158 metabolites （including 48 phase Ⅰ metabolites and 110 phase Ⅱ metabolites） of XBS were unambiguously identified in the serum of normal mice. Additionally， a comprehensive characterization was performed on a total of 32 prototype components and 178 metabolites （including 50 phase Ⅰ metabolites and 128 phase Ⅱ metabolites） of XBS in the serum of CB mice. Among them， 27 prototype components were detected in both states， including 12 flavonoids， 2 alkaloids， 3 triterpenes， 4 organic acids， 3 amides， 1 stilbene and 2 other compounds. The chemometrics analysis revealed no significant difference in the prototype components and metabolites of XBS between normal and CB mice； however， there was a significant increase in the in-vivo exposure of XBS in CB mice. Compared to normal mice， the levels of phase Ⅰ metabolites such as oxidation， reduction and methylation of blood components of XBS as well as phase Ⅱ metabolites of glucuronidation showed significant changes in CB mice. Real-time PCR further confirmed that these alterations were attributed to the upregulation of CYP2E1 （P<0.05）， CYP3A1 （P>0.05）， UGT1A1 （P<0.01） and UGT1A6 （P<0.01） enzymes expression in the liver of CB mice. ConclusionThis study elucidated the disparities in the levels of the blood-absorbed components and metabolic profiles of XBS in normal and CB mice， especially in oxidation， reduction， methylation in phase Ⅰ metabolism and glucoaldehyde acidification in phase Ⅱ metabolism. And there are related to the differences in the expression levels of phase Ⅰ and phase Ⅱ metabolic enzymes CYP2E1， CYP3A1， UGT1A1 and UGT1A6 in the liver.

Objective To explore the adverse event signals of children using macrolide drugs （azithromycin, clarithromycin, and erythromycin）, and provide reference for rational medicine use in clinical practice. Methods Data from children under 12 years old were extracted from the US FAERS database spanning from the first quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2023. The adverse drug reaction （ADR） signal mining for three macrolide antibiotics was conducted using the Reporting Odds Ratio （ROR） and Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network （BCPNN） methods. Special emphasis was placed on analyzing and contrasting the differences in adverse events among the three drugs. Results A total of 1 615 reports for children under 12 years old were retrieved from the FAERS database, including 1 024 reports of azithromycin, 460 reports of clarithromycin, and 131 reports of erythromycin. Among azithromycin and erythromycin, there were more reports from boys than girls, while for clarithromycin, there were more reports from girls than boys. Oral administration was the most common route of administration for all three drugs. Regarding the outcome of adverse events reported, azithromycin and clarithromycin were primarily associated with other serious adverse events, whereas erythromycin was mainly associated with hospitalization and other serious adverse events. The number of adverse events reported decreased with increasing age, with a higher number of reports in the 0-3 age group. Using the ROR and BCPNN methods for signal detection, 86 signals were identified for azithromycin, 91 for clarithromycin, and 34 for erythromycin. These signals involved 22 System Organ Classes （SOCs）, with azithromycin mainly concentrated in skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders （n=21）, clarithromycin in gastrointestinal disorders （n=15）, and erythromycin in gastrointestinal disorders （n=8）. Twenty-four signals of moderate to high risk were detected, with 13 for azithromycin, 9 for clarithromycin, and 2 for erythromycin. Conclusion The adverse events induced by the three drugs with different risks in different systems. When clinically treating Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children, the risk profiles of drugs in different systems should be considered, and personalized dosing should be implemented.

Locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a highly heterogeneous disease. For patients with driver gene-negative, unresectable NSCLC, traditional treatment primarily involves concurrent chemoradiotherapy. With the advent of the immunotherapy era, integrated treatment strategies combining concurrent chemoradiotherapy with immunotherapy have significantly improved therapeutic outcomes and substantially extended survival periods. This article summarizes the interaction mechanisms and clinical research progress of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of NSCLC. This review also provides perspectives on the development of therapies in the future and predictive biomarkers, serving as a reference for treatment options for patients with unresectable locally advanced NSCLC.

Brain metastases are the most common intracranial tumors, and their incidence is increasing with the improvement of systemic treatments and survival rates. Optimal treatment usually requires a multidisciplinary approach, including radiotherapy, surgical resection, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Stereotactic radiotherapy, compared to whole-brain radiotherapy, offers improved local control rates and reduced risk of neurocognitive impairment, and has become a new standard option for the treatment of brain metastases. Additionally, the widespread use of targeted and immune therapies in brain metastases has significantly improved the survival of some patients. This article reviews and integrates recent literature on the treatment of brain metastases and analyzes the role of stereotactic radiotherapy in comprehensive treatment, aiming to provide a reference for the selection of clinical treatment plans.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of extracellular matrix vesicle mimetics prepared by mechanical extrusion and their effects on the cell viability and osteogenic differentiation potential of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSC).Methods:PDLSC derived extracellular matrix vesicles were prepared by collagenase digestion, while the cell derived vesicle mimetics were simulated by mechanical extrusion. The obtained extracellular matrix vesicles and parental cell derived vesicle mimetics were divided into 4 groups: matrix vesicles derived from PDLSC cultured in basic medium for 7 days (PDLSC matrix vesicles, MVs), vesicle mimetics derived from PDLSC cultured in basic medium for 7 days (PDLSC vesicle mimetics, CVMs), matrix vesicles derived from PDLSC cultured in osteogenic inducing medium for 7 days (osteogenic-induced PDLSC matrix vesicles, O-MVs) and vesicle mimetics derived from PDLSC cultured in osteogenic inducing medium for 7 days (osteogenic-induced PDLSC vesicle mimetics, O-CVMs). Vesicles morphologies and sizes were observed by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis. Vesicles uptake was detected by immunofluorescence. With PDLSC as the control group, the effects of vesicles on the viability of PDLSC were detected by cell activity assay (cell counting kit-8), and the effects of vesicles on the osteogenic differentiation potential of PDLSC were detected by alizarin red staining and Western blotting.Results:Vesicles in MVs, O-MVs, CVMs and O-CVMs were all observed with a round structure (size 50-250 nm), and could be taken up by PDLSC without affecting the cell viability. Under osteogenic inducing conditions, PDLSC incubated with O-MVs or O-CVMs could produce more mineralized nodules than those in the control group (PDLSC). MVs, O-MVs, CVMs and O-CVMs could promote the expression of osteogenic-related proteins in PDLSC. PDLSC in group O-CVMs showed significant higher expressions of osteogenic-related proteins, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (1.571±0.348), osteopontin (OPN) (1.827±0.627) and osteocalcin (OCN) (1.798±0.537) compared to MVs (ALP: 1.156±0.170, OPN: 1.260±0.293, OCN: 1.286±0.302) ( P<0.05). Compared to CMVs-incubated PDLSC, O-CVMs-incubated PDLSC expressed more Runt-related transcription factor 2 (1.632±0.455 vs 1.176±0.128) and OPN (1.827±0.627 vs 1.428±0.427) ( P<0.05). Moreover, there was no significant difference in the expression levels of osteoblast-related proteins in PDLSC cultured with MVs, O-MVs and CVMs ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The vesicle mimetics prepared by mechanical extrusion method are similar in shape and size to the extracellular matrix vesicles. MVs, O-MVs, CVMs and O-CVMs do not affect the cell viability of PDLSC, and can promote the osteogenic differentiation potential of PDLSC to a certain extent.

Nuclear medicine plays an indispensable role in the diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of a wide range of diseases.Nuclear medicine using radionuclides for diagnosis has the advantages of accuracy,speed,high sensitivity and high resolution.Currently,several radionuclides play pivotal roles in disease diagnosis.This article primarily examines the clinical application and research of diagnostic radionuclides,including 18 F,89 Zr,68 Ga,99m Tc,131 I,123 I,and 11 C.The objective is to offer valuable insights for disease diagnosis and staging of diseases.

Background and purpose:Primary adrenal intravascular large B-cell lymphoma(IVLBCL)is rare and highly aggressive.Unfortunately,comprehensive and sufficient understanding of the disease is lacking.This study investigated the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of adrenal IVLBCL.Methods:Adrenal IVLBCL cases diagnosed from 2012 to 2023 were collected from Department of Pathology,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center.The clinical and histopathological features,immunophenotype,treatment and prognosis were analyzed.The molecular genetic characteristics were detected using next-generation sequencing(NGS).This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center(Ethics number:050432-4-2307E).Results:All of the 5 patients were male,with median age 52 years(ranged 50-82 years).Two cases had low-grade fever,1 case had abdominal pain,1 case was found by physical examination,and the information of the remaining one was unknown.Peripheral blood test showed elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase in 2 cases and adrenal dysfunction in 2 cases.On initial diagnosis,imaging tests displayed adrenal enlargement or masses with increased fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)uptake.Bilateral adrenal glands were involved in 4 cases and only the right adrenal gland was involved in the other case.Morphologically,large atypical lymphocytes were confined to blood vessels,and fibrinous necrosis was observed in some cases.Immunohistochemical study revealed that CD20 was positive in all cases.Ki-67 proliferation index was high,all above 80%.80%(4/5)of the cases were of non-germinal-center B-cell-like(non-GCB)phenotype,100%(4/4)of the cases had MYC/BCL2 double expression.Endothelial cell markers staining indicated that most of the tumor cells were confined within the blood vessels in all cases.Follow-up data were available in 3 patients.One patient who underwent only surgical resection died 5 months after diagnosis,one achieved complete remission after surgery plus R-CHOP,and the other diagnosed by biopsy achieved a partial remission after R-CHOP.The 1-year overall survival rate was 66.7%,and overall survival was 5-87 months.NGS testing in 1 case showed missense mutations in MYD88 V217F,TP53,CDH1,ARID1B,MSH3,MLH3,PTPRK,CD22 and FLCN.Conclusion:Adrenal IVLBCL is rare and tends to occur in the middle-aged and elderly male.The majority of our patients were non-GCB phenotype,often accompanied by MYC/BCL2 double expression,and MYD88 non-L265P mutation was detected.Early diagnosis of adrenal IVLBCL is difficult due to its diverse clinical symptoms and lack of specificity.It is of great importance to accumulate more cases and further understand the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of this rare disease,which might not only help with early diagnosis,timely treatment and improvement of prognosis,but also provide a theoretical basis for further understanding the pathogenesis and development of the disease and exploring therapeutic targets.
