With the widespread use of antibiotics, drug-resistant bacterial infections have become a significant threat to human health. Finding new antibacterial strategies that can effectively control drug-resistant bacterial infections has become an urgent task. Unlike small molecule drugs that target bacterial proteins, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) can target genes related to bacterial resistance, pathogenesis, growth, reproduction and biofilm formation. By regulating the expression of these genes, ASO can inhibit or kill bacteria, providing a novel approach for the development of antibacterial drugs. To overcome the challenge of delivering antisense oligonucleotide into bacterial cells, various drug delivery systems have been applied in this field, including cell-penetrating peptides, lipid nanoparticles and inorganic nanoparticles, which have injected new momentum into the development of antisense oligonucleotide in the antibacterial realm. This review summarizes the current development of small nucleic acid drugs, the antibacterial mechanisms, targets, sequences and delivery vectors of antisense oligonucleotide, providing a reference for the research and development of antisense oligonucleotide in the treatment of bacterial infections.

OBJECTIVE To develop a population pharmacokinetic （PPK） model for mycophenolate mofetil active metabolite mycophenolic acid （MPA） in children with primary IgA nephropathy， explore the factors affecting the pharmacokinetic parameters of MPA， and provide a basis for clinical individualized therapy. METHODS Retrospective collection was conducted on 636 concentrations and clinical data from 47 pediatric patients with primary IgA nephropathy. PPK analysis was carried out by using the nonlinear mixed-effects model； the covariates were tested with a stepwise method. Goodness-of-fit plots， Bootstrap and visual predictive check were employed to evaluate the final model. RESULTS The pharmacokinetics of MPA in children with IgA nephropathy in vivo conformed to the first-order absorption and elimination two-compartment model （objective function value of 3 276.31）. Covariate analysis suggested that body weight and albumin （ALB） levels were significant influencing factors on apparent clearance rate and apparent distribution volume. The typical values of PPK parameters of MPA in the final model were as follows： the central room had a distributed volume of 5.79 L， the clearance rate was 4.06 L/h， the volume of peripheral ventricular distribution was 430.93 L， the clearance rate between compartments was 15.40 L/h， the oral absorption rate constant was 1.29 h－1. After verification， most of the predicted corrected observed concentration points were within the 90% confidence interval of the predicted corrected simulated concentration， indicating that the MPA final model had good predictive performance. CONCLUSIONS The PPK model of MPA in children with primary IgA nephropathy is established in this study， identifying body weight and ALB levels are significant factors affecting MPA metabolism.

Objective To generate minichromosome maintenance protein 2(MCM2)gene knockout cervi-cal cancer HeLa cell lines using inducible CRISPR/Cas9 technology,and to explore the effect of MCM2 on DNA replication and replication stress.Methods The inducible CRISPR/Cas9 system,TLCV2,was used to construct MCM2 knockout HeLa cell lines.And the cell lines were divided into control group(Control),knockout group 1(KO1),and knockout group 2(KO2).Western blot,Edu incorporation experiment,real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR),immunofluorescence and MTT assay were used to analyze the effects of MCM2 knockout on DNA replica-tion and replication stress induced by hydroxyurea.Results The CRISPR/Cas9 system successfully knocked out the MCM2 gene after induction,and MCM2 knockout affected the stability of MCM2-7 complex.Compared with the control cells,MCM2 knockout cells had a dramatic decrease in the capacity of DNA replication,and the mRNA levels of Cyclin A1,Cyclin E1 and CDK4.Under DNA replication stress,MCM2 knockout cells decreased cell viability,DNA damage repair capacity,and increased genomic instability compared with control cells.Conclusion Knockout of MCM2 gene reduces the DNA replication capacity of HeLa cells under normal conditions and cell viability under replication stress.This study successfully generates MCM2 gene inducible knockout HeLa cell lines,laying the foundation for further research on the role and biological function of MCM2 gene in the occurrence and progression of cervical cancer.

Ceftazidime-avibactam （CAZ/AVI）is a novel β-lactam antibiotic with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and good tolerability. However， the physiological and pathological differences in special populations [e.g. augmented renal clearance （ARC） patients， undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy （CRRT） patients， neonates and children， obese patients， undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation （ECMO） patients， elderly patients and liver dysfunction patients] may affect the pharmacokinetic （PK） properties of CAZ/AVI， leading to treatment failure. At present， there is currently a lack of corresponding guidelines or consensus on dose adjustment of CAZ/AVI in special populations. This article summarizes the research on PK/ pharmacodynamic （PD） characteristics and dose adjustment of CAZ/AVI in special populations and recommends the following dosing regimens： for ARC patients， the recommended dose is 2.5 g， q8 h； for undergoing CRRT patients with infections caused by sensitive strains （i.e. MIC＜4 mg/L） and infections at sites where hydrophilic antibiotics distribute well， a dose of 1.25 g， q8 h may be used； for undergoing CRRT patients with less sensitive strains or sites with poorer drug distribution， a dose of 2.5 g， q8 h or continuous infusion may be considered； for children aged 6 months to ＜18 years with normal or mildly impaired renal function， a dose of 62.5 mg/kg， q8 h is infused for 2 h （maximum dose not exceeding 2.5 g per dose）； for infants aged 3～6 months with normal or mildly impaired renal function， a dose of 50 mg/kg， q8 h is infused for 2 h； for obese patients， the recommended dose is 2.5 g， q8 h， with therapeutic drug monitoring recommended；undergoing ECMO patients， elderly patients， and those with impaired liver function may also use the recommended dose of 179368757@qq.com 2.5 g， q8 h.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological features of gastric oxyntic gland neo-plasms.Methods:Forty-nine cases of stomach oxyntic gland neoplasms including oxyntic gland adenoma(OGA)and gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type(GA-FG)diagnosed in the Sec-ond Hospital of Shandong University from January 2016 to December 2020 were selected.The clini cal information,endoscopic appearance,histological features and immunophenotype were analyzed retrospectively,and followed up.Results:Age of the gastric oxyntic gland neoplasm patients ranged from 19 to 83 years old,with an average age of(57.3±2.4)years old.The male-to-female ratio was 24:25.Most of the lesions were located in the gastric body(27/49)and fundus(15/49).There were four endoscopic phenotypes:flat bulging,polypoid,flat and depression.In some lesions,there were dilated dendritic vessels.48 cases were single onset.The mean maximum diameter of lesions was(3.9±0.5)mm(1.0～7.0 mm).Seven cases showed submucosal invasion,and the inva-sion depth was less than 500 μm.The tumor consists of the dense glandular and the glandular con-nects to form a strip shape,which is irregularly branched and labyrinthlike under the microscope.These tumor cells were well differentiated and the morphology was similar to oxyntic gland cells.The chief cells were the predominant cells.The nucleus was mildly enlarged with slight pleomorphism and the mitosis was uncommon.The oxyntic gland neoplasms of the stomach were diffusely posi-tive for Mucin-6(MUC6)(100％)and Pepsinogen Ⅰ(83％),focally positive for H+/K+-ATPase(58％).Conclusions:The stomach oxyntic gland neoplasm is a new histology type with unique clinico-pathological features.The incidence of this neoplasm is low and the prognosis is good but it still needs long-term follow-up.

Orodispersible films (oral dispersible films), a novel form of oral solid dosage forms, are widely used for patients with dysphagia and those with uncontrollable autonomic behavior. In this study, suvorexant orodispersible film was prepared by hot melt extrusion technology, and the disintegration time, mechanical properties, in vitro dissolution and pharmacokinetics were evaluated, compared with other orodispersible films and commercially available tablets Belsomra. All experiments were approved by the Committee on the Management and Use of Laboratory Animals of Academy of Military Medical Sciences (IACUC-DWZX-2024-504). The results showed that the dissolution rate of suvorexant orodispersible film was faster and the mechanical strength was better than that of other commercially available orodispersible film, which could meet the needs of storage and transportation. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction results showed that suvorexant was dispersed within the orodispersible film in an amorphous state. The in vitro dissolution of the film was observed to be four times faster than that of the commercial tablets, achieving complete dissolution within five minutes. Pharmacokinetic evaluations in Beagle dogs revealed that the self-formulated orodispersible film exhibited no significant differences in the area under the blood concentration-time curve when compared with Belsomra. However, the film showed a faster onset of action, with a peak time that was twice as rapid, and a maximum blood concentration that was twice as high as that of Belsomra. Leveraging hot melt extrusion technology, the suvorexant orodispersible film offers a straightforward, continuous production process with consistent quality. It serves as an excellent platform for the development of solvent-free film preparations tailored for patients with special needs.

The rheological properties of drug and carrier materials have a wide range of guiding significance for the formulation and process development of solid dispersions. In this study, the rheological properties of materials with different drug carrier ratios were systematically studied with suvorexant as the model drug and copovidone as the carrier material, which provided a sufficient basis for determining the formulation and process of solid dispersions. The optimal suvorexant-copovidone ratio obtained by oscillating temperature scanning was 1∶4. If the ratio is greater than 1∶ 4, the glass transformation temperature of the material will increase significantly, and the solubilization effect of the solid dispersion will show a downward trend. The results of oscillation temperature scanning and oscillation temperature sweep can show that when the extrusion temperature is greater than 150 ℃, the viscosity of the material is less than 10 000 Pa·s, and the melt can be extruded smoothly, and the best extrusion temperature of 160-180 ℃ can be obtained by combining the dissolution results. Finally, the dissolution of suvorexant tablets guided by rheological property studies in multiple media is similar to that of the commercially available tablets Belsomra. Therefore, rheological studies can screen and optimize the formulation and process of suvorexant solid dispersions at the mechanism level, which is of great significance to improve the success rate of R&D and shorten the R&D cycle of solid dispersions prepared by hot melt extrusion.

An integrated evaluation model based on the combination of traditional trait identification and modern chemical analysis was used for the identification of key indexes of grade classification and the establishment of grade quality standard of Lycium barbarum fruits (LBF) from Ningxia genuine producing area. Under the guidance of herbal examination and market survey, particle size, skin color and imperfection were taken as the external trait indicators; focusing on the comprehensiveness and validity of the quality evaluation, 2-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid (AA-2βG), zeaxanthin dipalmitate (ZD) and volatile ether extractives were used as important parameters involving in quality evaluation in addition to the pharmacopoeia test items and determination indicators such as moisture, ash, water-soluble extractives, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) and betaine. The quality differences between different traits and grades of LBF as well as the relevance between character and quality were further investigated by mathematical and statistical means such as t-test analysis, correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). Furthermore, the activities of extractives from different grades of LBF were compared at cellular level. The results showed that LBF were mainly preferred for large and red ones; except for betaine, the other index components were relatively high (moisture and ash were low) in the first-grade and samples with bright-red skin color. Besides, there was a significant correlation between skin color and moisture, water-soluble extractives, LBP, AA-2βG and ZD contents. Considering the results of the study and the market situation, the present study took the grain size and skin color of LBF as the core of evaluation, and at the same time introduced the multi-indicator components including LBP, AA-2βG, ZD, water-soluble extractives and moisture to further guide the grading, and established the quality standard of LBF grades combining the trait indexes and the chemical composition. More importantly, in vitro cell models both preliminarily confirmed that the first-grade LBF played a more significant "nourishing liver and kidney" effect, which provided an experimental basis for the quality control of LBF and promoted the realization of high quality and good price.
