OBJECTIVE To analyze the potential adverse drug interactions (pADIs) of clarithromycin, and establish refined prescription pre-review rules. METHODS Outpatient prescriptions of clarithromycin in combination with other drugs were collected from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024 through hospital information system of the Third People’s Hospital of Bengbu. pADIs were identified and their risk severities were graded according to Lexicomp and Micromedex databases. Then, refined prescription pre- review rules for clarithromycin pADIs-related drugs were established according to the identification and risk level results. RESULTS Among 3 046 clarithromycin combined drug prescriptions, 946 cases of pADIs occurred in 812 prescriptions. There were 6, 415 and 525 cases classified as “contraindicated”,“ major” and “moderate”, respectively. The combination drugs with “contraindicated” levels were tamsulosin, rupatadine, domperidone and ticagrelor, while those with “major” levels were mainly theophylline, dexamethasone and amlodipine. Accordingly, 26 refined rules were established, including 4 items of “warning information→prescription interception”, 11 items of “warning information→prescription double signature” and 11 items of “attention information→prescription approval”. CONCLUSIONS There are “contraindicated” and “major” risks associated with clarithromycin and its combination drugs in the hospital, and refined prescription pre-review rules for clarithromycin combined drug prescription have been established successfully.

Background:
s/Aims: Sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare histological subtype of HCC characterized by extremely poor prognosis; however, its molecular characterization has not been elucidated.
Methods:
In this study, we conducted an integrated multiomics study of whole-exome sequencing, RNA-seq, spatial transcriptome, and immunohistochemical analyses of 28 paired sarcomatoid tumor components and conventional HCC components from 10 patients with sarcomatoid HCC, in order to identify frequently altered genes, infer the tumor subclonal architectures, track the genomic evolution, and delineate the transcriptional characteristics of sarcomatoid HCCs.
Results:
Our results showed that the sarcomatoid HCCs had poor prognosis. The sarcomatoid tumor components and the conventional HCC components were derived from common ancestors, mostly accessing similar mutational processes. Clonal phylogenies demonstrated branched tumor evolution during sarcomatoid HCC development and progression. TP53 mutation commonly occurred at tumor initiation, whereas ARID2 mutation often occurred later. Transcriptome analyses revealed the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and hypoxic phenotype in sarcomatoid tumor components, which were confirmed by immunohistochemical staining. Moreover, we identified ARID2 mutations in 70% (7/10) of patients with sarcomatoid HCC but only 1–5% of patients with non-sarcomatoid HCC. Biofunctional investigations revealed that inactivating mutation of ARID2 contributes to HCC growth and metastasis and induces EMT in a hypoxic microenvironment.
Conclusions
We offer a comprehensive description of the molecular basis for sarcomatoid HCC, and identify genomic alteration (ARID2 mutation) together with the tumor microenvironment (hypoxic microenvironment), that may contribute to the formation of the sarcomatoid tumor component through EMT, leading to sarcomatoid HCC development and progression.

Elemene, derived from Curcuma wenyujin, one of the "8 famous genuine medicinal materials of Zhejiang province," exhibits remarkable antitumor activity. It has gained wide recognition in clinical practice for effectiveness on tumors. Dr. XIE Tian, introduced the innovative concept of "molecular compatibility theory" by combining Chinese medicine principles, specifically the "monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy" theory, with modern biomedical technology. This groundbreaking approach, along with a systematic analysis of Chinese medicine and modern biomedical knowledge, led to the development of elemene nanoliposome formulations. These novel formulations offer numerous advantages, including low toxicity, well-defined composition, synergistic effects on multiple targets, and excellent biocompatibility. Following the principles of the "molecular compatibility theory", further exploration of cancer treatment strategies and methods based on elemene was undertaken. This comprehensive review consolidates the current understanding of elemene's potential antitumor mechanisms, recent clinical investigations, advancements in drug delivery systems, and structural modifications. The ultimate goal of this review is to establish a solid theoretical foundation for researchers, empowering them to develop more effective antitumor drugs based on the principles of "molecular compatibility theory".
