ObjectiveTo explore whether the intestinal absorption solution containing Banxia Xiexintang (BXT) can inhibit the invasion and migration of gastric cancer cells by interfering with the stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1)-CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) axis in tumor-associated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (TA-BMSCs). MethodsThe intestinal absorption solution containing BXT was prepared, and the optimal intervention concentration and duration for MFC cells were determined through the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. A co-culture system was established comprising TA-BMSCs conditioned medium (TA-BMSCs-CM) and gastric cancer MFC cells. The experiment was conducted with a blank control group, a TA-BMSCs-CM group, an SDF1 inhibitor (LY2510924) group, and intervention groups with varying concentrations (55%, 70%, 85%) of the intestinal absorption solution containing BXT. Cell proliferation was assessed by the CCK-8 assay. Horizontal and vertical cell migration were evaluated via scratch and Transwell assays, respectively. Cell invasion was examined by a Transwell assay with Matrigel. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The levels of factors such as SDF1, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), as well as the protein levels of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), CXCR4, VEGFA, and MMP-9, were quantified by ELISA and Western blot, respectively. ResultsThe CCK-8 assay results indicated that compared with the 24 h intervention, the 48 h interventions with all concentrations of the intestinal absorption solution containing BXT increased the inhibition rate on MFC cells (P<0.01). The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the intestinal absorption solution containing BXT at the time point of 48 h was 68.51%, and subsequent intervention concentrations were selected as 55%, 70%, and 85%. Compared with the TA-BMSCs-CM group, the intestinal absorption solution containing BXT (particularly at concentrations of 70% 85%) suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of MFC cells, promoted the cell apoptosis (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased the levels of SDF1, MMP-9, and VEGFA, and downregulated the protein levels of MIF, CXCR4, VEGFA, and MMP-9 (P<0.05, P<0.01). The inhibitory effects of the intestinal absorption solution containing BXT were comparable to or superior to those of the SDF1 inhibitor (P<0.01). ConclusionThe intestinal absorption solution containing BXT can inhibit the invasion and migration of gastric cancer cells by interfering with the SDF1-CXCR4 axis in TA-BMSCs. The underlying mechanism may involve the regulation of the MIF/SDF1/CXCR4 signaling pathway and its downstream effector molecules.

ObjectiveTo observe how Banxia Xiexintang affects programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression induced by exosomes derived from gastric cancer cells in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) through the protein kinase B (Akt)/c-myelocytomatosis oncogene (c-Myc) signaling axis, and its effects on the migration of BMSCs and gastric cancer cells. MethodsExosomes were isolated from human gastric cancer NCI-N87 cells and identified by transmission electron microscopy and Western blot. Rat BMSCs were passaged and identified by immunofluorescence staining. A Transwell chamber was used to create a non-contact co-culture system for NCI-N87 exosomes and BMSCs. The experiment was designed with normal, model, Banxia Xiexintang (10% serum containing Banxia Xiexintang), PD-L1 monoclonal antibody (10% blank serum containing PD-L1 antibody), and combination (10% serum containing Banxia Xiexintang and 10% blank serum containing PD-L1 antibody) groups. The suspension of BMSCs was added to the upper chamber of each group, with the normal group receiving serum culture medium without exosomes in the lower chamber, and the model group receiving NCI-N87 exosomes. The Banxia Xiexintang group, PD-L1 monoclonal antibody group, and combination group received 10% serum containing Banxia Xiexintang, 10% blank serum containing PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, and 10% serum containing Banxia Xiexintang and 10% blank serum containing PD-L1 antibody, respectively, in the upper chamber. After 96 h, BMSCs from the upper chamber were collected, and the protein levels of p-Akt, Akt, c-Myc, and PD-L1, as well as the mRNA levels of Akt, c-Myc, and PD-L1, were determined by Western blot and Real-time PCR, respectively. The migration of BMSCs and NCI-N87 was assessed by the Transwell method. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group showed increases in protein levels of p-Akt, c-Myc, and PD-L1, as well as mRNA levels of c-Myc and PD-L1 (P<0.05, P<0.01), and no significant change in the protein and mRNA levels of Akt. Compared with the model group, the Banxia Xiexintang group, PD-L1 monoclonal antibody group, and combination group showed decreases in protein levels of p-Akt, c-Myc, and PD-L1 (P<0.01). In addition, they had significant effects on the protein and mRNA levels of Akt. The combination group showed greater reductions in the protein and mRNA levels of c-Myc and PD-L1 than the Banxia Xiexintang group and PD-L1 monoclonal antibody group (P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, the model group showed increases in the number of migrating NCI-N87 and BMSCs (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Banxia Xiexintang group, PD-L1 monoclonal antibody group, and combination group showed decreases in the number of migrating NCI-N87 and BMSCs (P<0.05, P<0.01), with the combination group showing greater reductions in the number of migrating NCI-N87 and BMSCs than the Banxia Xiexintang group and PD-L1 monoclonal antibody group (P<0.01). ConclusionBanxia Xiexintang can lower the PD-L1 expression induced by gastric cancer cell-derived exosomes in BMSCs induced and inhibit the migration of BMSCs and gastric cancer cells. Moreover, it has a synergistic effect when being used together with PD-L1, possibly related to the regulation of the Akt/c-Myc signaling axis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the cognition, attitudes, and current practices of Chinese physicians regarding biosimilars and their clinical switching, so as to provide a basis for the rational clinical application of biosimilars in China and the improvement of related policies.METHODS A national cross-sectional online questionnaire survey was conducted in 2025. Quota sampling was adopted, with quotas based on physicians’ sex, city tier, and specialty. Questionnaire invitations were distributed to licensed physicians, and physicians who had prescribed monoclonal antibody biosimilars were included for analysis. The questionnaire covered their familiarity with biosimilars, attitudes, clinical switching practices, and reasons. Data were processed using reliability and validity tests, dispersion analysis, and cross-tabulation analysis.RESULTS The questionnaire scale showed good reliability and validity, with Cronbach’s α coefficient >0.7 and KMO value >0.6. A total of 2 071 survey invitations were distributed, and 300 valid questionnaires were returned, with an effective response rate of 14.5%. Among the respondents, 75.3% had prescribed 3-5 types of monoclonal antibody biosimilars; only 35.3% were aware that China currently has no clear regulatory provisions on biosimilar switching; 46.3% and 47.3% of respondents believed that there was no difference in safety and efficacy, respectively, between biosimilars and originator products; 63.0% of respondents were concerned about the immunogenicity risk of long-term switching between originator drugs and biosimilars. A total of 92.3% of respondents had experience with biosimilar switching, 87.7% of which involved switching from originator products to biosimilars, and 28.2% of respondents had completed three or more switches in the same patient. Among the primary reasons for switching, non-medical factors accounted for 57.4%, higher than medical factors at 42.6%; “lower treatment cost after switching” was the most important reason for switching; 95.3% of respondents believed that informed consent should be obtained from patients before switching.CONCLUSIONS The surveyed physicians had basic knowledge of biosimilars, but their understanding of the relevant regulations of the national drug regulatory authority was insufficient. Although most physicians were concerned about the risks of non-medical switching, clinical switching was mostly driven by non-medical factors. It is recommended to strengthen policy education for medical professionals and standardize clinical switching behavior. The National Medical Products Administration should also promptly improve the interchangeability review standards and post-marketing surveillance system for biosimilars, so as to promote the rational use of biosimilars.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the influencing factors of voriconazole trough concentration and adverse drug reactions (ADR) in renal transplant recipients. METHODS Data from inpatients who received voriconazole and therapeutic drug monitoring in our hospital between January 2022 and August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into renal transplant group and non-renal transplant group based on transplantation status. A 1∶1 propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to balance differences in baselines between the two groups. Voriconazole trough concentrations, target attainment rate, clinical efficacy, and ADR were compared between the two groups. Multiple linear regression (backward) was used to analyze the factors influencing voriconazole trough concentrations in the renal transplant group. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression were used to identify independent risk factors for ADR in the renal transplant group. RESULTS After PSM, 48 patients were included in each group. There were no statistically significant differences in the mean voriconazole trough concentration, target attainment rate or efficacy rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The total incidence of ADR was significantly higher in the renal transplant group than in the non-renal transplant group (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, average daily dose, pulmonary infection, total bilirubin during medication, day-1 loading dose, use of the original drug, concomitant immunosuppressant use, and the occurrence of ADR were factors influencing voriconazole trough concentration in renal transplant patients (P<0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that abnormal direct bilirubin during medication [OR=7.747, 95%CI (1.334, 45.005), P=0.023] was an independent risk factor for ADR in renal transplant patients receiving voriconazole. CONCLUSIONS Age, average daily dose, pulmonary infection, use of the original drug, day-1 loading dose, total bilirubin during medication, concomitant immunosuppressant use, and the occurrence of ADR are the factors influencing voriconazole trough concentration in renal transplant patients. Furthermore, patients with abnormal direct bilirubin during medication are more susceptible to ADR.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of different daily doses of aspirin in the prevention of preeclampsia (PE). METHODS The case-control studies and prospective randomized controlled trials on aspirin with daily dose ≥ 100 mg (trial group) vs. <100 mg (control group) in the prevention of PE were retrieved from PubMed, Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, China Biomedical Literatue Database and Wanfang Data from base-building to January 2025. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 11 literatures were included, involving 3 052 pregnant women. Meta-analysis showed the incidence of PE [RR=0.63, 95%CI (0.53,0.76), P<0.000 01], gestational hypertension [RR=0.69, 95%CI (0.50,0.94),P=0.02], preterm birth [RR=0.56, 95%CI (0.47,0.66), P<0.000 01], and intrauterine growth retardation [RR=0.73,95%CI (0.61,0.87),P=0.000 5] in trial groups were significantly lower than control group. The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage between the two groups had no statistically significant difference [RR=1.17, 95%CI (0.90,1.53),P=0.25]. Subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of PE in Chinese pregnant women taking 150 mg of aspirin was significantly higher than taking 100 mg of aspirin [RR=3.40, 95%CI (1.29, 8.93), P=0.01]; but there was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidences of postpartum hemorrhage, preterm birth (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Aspirin with daily dose ≥100 mg is more effective in preventing PE than daily dose <100 mg, with lower rates of gestational hypertension, preterm birth, and intrauterine growth retardation. It does not increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. For pregnant women in China, daily dose 100 mg of aspirin may be more effective in preventing PE than 150 mg.
