Cardiotoxicity induced by antineoplastic agents is an important factor affecting the prognosis of cancer patients. This article systematically summarizes the clinical manifestations of cardiotoxicity caused by chemotherapeutic drugs, molecular targeted cancer therapies, and immunotherapeutic drugs, and identifies the core injury mechanisms, including cardiomyocyte apoptosis, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, anticancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity falls under the category of “heat toxins” characterized by dual deficiency of qi and blood, upward flaming of heart heat, stagnation of the heart vessels, and meridian obstruction induced by phlegm-dampness. Therefore, by reviewing the preventive and therapeutic effects and the underlying mechanisms of tonic medicines, interior heat-clearing medicines, blood-circulating and stasis-resolving medicines, phlegm-transforming, cough-suppressing and panting-relieving medicines, and interior-warming medicines, this paper concludes that TCM prevention and treatment of this condition adheres to the formulation principle of “reinforcing healthy qi, removing toxins, and resolving blood stasis”. Its mechanisms of action—including antioxidation effects, regulation of autophagic balance, antagonism of inflammatory responses, and improvement of microcirculation—are highly consistent with modern medical treatment strategies (e.g., dexrazoxane for inhibiting iron-dependent oxidative stress, statins for anti-inflammatory effects). This study provides theoretical support and practical guidance for the collaborative and precise prevention and treatment of anticancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity through the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Objective To investigate the application of offline solid-phase extraction-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for detecting four synthetic cannabinoids(5F-ADB,5F-MDMB-PICA,4F-MDMB-BUTINACA,and MDMB-4en-PINACA)and their marker metabolites in urban wastewater.Methods Samples were pre-treated using an Oasis PRiME HLB column(60 mg,3CC)and analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry.The mobile phases consisted of 0.02%formic acid-2 mmol/L ammonium formate aqueous solution and acetonitrile solution,with a WATERS ACQUITY UPLCHSS T3 column.Analysis was conducted in positive ionization mode of the ESI ion source,combining multiple reaction monitoring(MRM),information-dependent acquisition(IDA),and enhanced product ion(EPI)scanning modes for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the eight target compounds.Results Good linearity was observed for 4F-MDMB-BUTINACA-M,5F-ADB,5F-ADB-M,and 5F-MDMB-PICA in the concentration range of 1～250 ng/L;for MDMB-4en-PINACA in the range of 5～250 ng/L;and for 4F-MDMB-BUTINACA,5F-MDMB-PICA-M,and 4F-MDMB-BUTINACA-M in the range of 1～500 ng/L.The recovery rates of samples spiked with different concentrations of the eight target compounds ranged from 87.68%to 104.68%,with matrix effects between 88.61%and 112.78%.Both intra-day and inter-day precision were less than 5%.Conclusion The established method demonstrates good accuracy and reproducibility,making it suitable for qualitative and quantitative detection of four synthetic cannabinoids and their metabolites in urban wastewater.

In order to investigate the mitigating effect of Yin Chen aqueous extract on liver injury induced by LPS combined with D-GalN in mice,a mouse liver injury model was established by in-traperitoneal injection of LPS and D-GalN,and the mice were group-fed by instillation of saline,bi-phenyl dibenzyl ester,and Yin Chen aqueous extract with different concentrations of LPS and D-GalN.The liver index of mice was calculated,pathological tissue sections were observed,and the expression of ALT,AST,inflammatory cytokines,oxidative stress,hepatic enzymes,and IL-17/TNF pathway were detected in serum to investigate the effects and mechanisms of the aqueous ex-tracts of Yin Chen in alleviating the liver injury in mice.The results showed that the liver index of mice in the model group was significantly elevated,the serum levels of ALT and AST were signifi-cantly elevated,the levels of IL-iβ,IL-8 and TNF-α in liver tissue were significantly elevated,the levels of IL-4 were significantly reduced,the levels of GSH-Px,CAT and SOD were significantly reduced,the levels of ROS and MDA were significantly elevated,CYP2E1 and CYP1A2 protein content and mRNA expression were significantly up-regulated,and the expression levels of TNF,TNFR1,IL-17A,ACT1 and IL-6 mRNA were significantly up-regulated.The study showed that the aqueous extract of Yin Chen had a certain alleviating effect on the liver injury caused by LPS combined with D-GalN in mice.The mechanism of action includes decreasing the metabolic level of hepatic drug enzymes,alleviating oxidative stress,inhibiting the expression of IL-17/TNF pathway and down-regulating the level of inflammatory factors in mice.

Tuberculosis,as a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB)infection,presenting a serious threat to human and animal health.When human body is infected by MTB,it quickly initiates an immune response,in which T lymphocyte-mediated cellular immunity plays a key role,as it can effectively recog-nize and eliminate MTB,serving as an important defense line for the body against MTB.However,during MTB in-fection process,myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs)undergo amplification and activation,which exhibit in-hibitory effect on the immune function of T lymphocytes and interfere the normal immune response of the body,making MTB easier to survive and reproduce in the body.This article discusses the role of MDSCs in the occu-rrence,development and prognosis of tuberculosis from two different perspectives,expects to provide new perspec-tives and ideas for the immunotherapy of tuberculosis as well as the research and development of targeted drugs,so as to open up a new way for the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of the Nogo receptor antagonist NEP1-40,administered via an exogenous route,on axonal regeneration in rats with spinal cord injury(SCI),and to explore its mecha-nism of action in the process of neural repair.Methods SD rats were divided into a sham surgery group(Group A),an injury group(Group B),and an injury+NEP1-40 treatment group(Group C).In Group A,only laminectomy was performed without spinal cord injury.Groups B and C were subjected to a clip-type SCI model.Group C received treatment with NEP1-40 based on the established SCI model.Hindlimb motor func-tion in the three groups was assessed using the BBB score at 1,3,7,and 14 days post-surgery.Real-time quan-titative PCR(qPCR)and Western blot were used to detect changes in gene and protein expression levels of growth-associated protein-43(GAP-43)and microtubule-associated protein-2(MAP-2),characteristic markers of axonal and dendritic regeneration.Immunofluorescence was employed to analyze NF-200 and BrdU double-labeling,and changes in the number of double-labeled positive cells were observed and analyzed.Results In group A rats,the BBB scores at various time points after surgery showed no significant change compared with preoperative scores.In groups B and C,the BBB scores on postoperative day 1 were obviously lower than pre-operative scores.From days 3 to 14 after surgery,the BBB scores partially recovered compared with postopera-tive day 1,though they remained lower than those in group A.However,on postoperative days 3,7,and 14,the BBB scores in group C were higher than those in group B(P<0.05).qPCR and Western blot results showed that compared with preoperative levels,GAP-43 and MAP-2 mRNA and protein expression in groups B and C at postoperative days 3,7,and 14 showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing,and the expression in group C was consistently higher than in group B(P<0.05).The expression level of NogoA in group C showed an opposite trend to GAP-43 and MAP-2.Compared with preoperative levels,NogoA mRNA and pro-tein expression in group B rats decreased on postoperative days 1 and 3(P<0.05)and increased on days 7 and 14(P<0.05).Compared with preoperative levels,NogoA mRNA and protein expression in groups B and C also showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing,but in group C,at all postoperative time points except day 1,it was lower than in group B(P<0.05).Immunofluorescence results showed that over time,the number of cells double-labeled with BrdU and NF-200 gradually increased,with the highest number observed in group C on postoperative day 14.Conclusion NEP1-40 promotes neurological repair in SCI,providing a new approach for SCI repair treatment.
