ObjectiveTo predict the mechanism through which Shasheng Maidong Tang enhances the efficacy of chemotherapy for lung cancer via network pharmacology and validate the prediction results in animal experiments. MethodsThe potential mechanism through which Shasheng Maidong Tang enhances the efficacy of chemotherapy for lung cancer was predicted by network pharmacology， liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry （LC-MS）， and molecular docking methods. C57/BL6 mice were assigned into normal， model， cisplatin， and Shasheng Maidong Tang+cisplatin groups. In addition to the normal group， the remaining groups were injected subcutaneously with 0.2 mL of 1×10⁷ cells·mL^-1 Lewis lung cancer cells to establish the Lewis lung cancer model. The daily gavage dose of Shasheng Maidong Tang was 3.58 g·kg^-1， and the concentration of cisplatin intraperitoneally injected on every other day was 2 mg·kg^-1. Drugs were administered for 14 d. The changes in the tumor volume and the rate of tumor suppression were monitored， and the tumor histopathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the interleukin （IL）-6 and interferon （IFN）-γ levels in peripheral blood. Real-time PCR was performed to quantify the mRNA levels of Janus kinase 2 （JAK2）， signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 （STAT1）， and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） in the tumor tissue of mice. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of JAK2， STAT3， B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-3 （Caspase-3）， and Pim-1 proto1 （PIM1） in the tumor tissue. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of Bcl-2 and PIM1 in the tumor tissue. ResultsNetwork pharmacological predictions indicated that Shasheng Maidong Tang might enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy for lung cancer by regulating nitrogen metabolism， AGE-RAGE signaling pathway， cancer pathway， and JAK/STAT signaling pathway. The experimental results demonstrated that tumor volume in the cisplatin group and Shasheng Maidong Tang+cisplatin group was reduced compared with the model group， with statistically distinct differences observed on days 14， 17， 20 post modeling （P<0.05）. Notably， the Shasheng Maidong Tang+cisplatin therapy further decreased tumor volume compared with the cisplatin group， showing marked reductions on days 17 and 20 （P<0.05）， consistent with trends visualized in tumor volume comparison charts. The Shasheng Maidong Tang+cisplatin group exhibited higher tumor inhibition rate than the cisplatin group （P<0.05）. Histopathological analysis via HE staining revealed that the tumors in the model group displayed frequent nuclear mitosis， densely arranged cells， hyperchromatic nuclei， and no necrosis. Cisplatin treatment induced partial necrosis and vacuolization， while the Shasheng Maidong Tang+cisplatin group exhibited extensive necrotic regions， maximal vacuolization， disarranged tumor cells， and minimal mitotic activity. Compared with the model group， the cisplatin group and the Shasheng Maidong Tang+cisplatin group showed elevated level of IFN-γ （P<0.01） and declined level of IL-6 （P<0.01） in the peripheral blood. Compared with the cisplatin group， the Shasheng Maidong Tang+cisplatin group presented elevated level of IFN-γ （P<0.01） and lowered level of IL-6 （P<0.01） in the peripheral blood. Compared with the model group， the cisplatin group and the Shasheng Maidong Tang+cisplatin groups showed down-regulated mRNA levels of JAK2 and STAT3 （P<0.01） and up-regulated mRNA level STAT1 （P<0.01）. Compared with the cisplatin group， the Shasheng Maidong Tang+cisplatin group presented down-regulated mRNA levels of JAK2 and STAT3 （P<0.01） and up-regulated mRNA level of STAT1 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the cisplatin group and the Shasheng Maidong Tang+cisplatin group showed down-regulated protein levels of JAK2 （P<0.01）， Bcl-2 （P<0.01）， PIM1 （P<0.01）， and STAT3 （P<0.05）， and up-regulated protein level of Caspase-3 （P<0.01）. Compared with the cisplatin group， Shasheng Maidong Tang+cisplatin group presented down-regulated protein levels of JAK2 （P<0.01）， Bcl-2 （P<0.01）， PIM1 （P<0.01）， STAT3 （P<0.05）， and up-regulated protein level of Caspase-3 （P<0.01）. The Bcl-2 and PIM1 expression results obtained by immunohistochemistry were consistent with those of Western blot. ConclusionShasheng Maidong Tang may enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in the mouse model of Lewis lung cancer by regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1),monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1),insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3(IGFBP-3)and glycolipid metabolism,bone metabolism and microvascular complications(MC)in children with type 1 diabe-tes mellitus(T1DM).Methods A total of 211 children with T1DM(T1DM group)admitted to Handan Cen-tral Hospital,Xingtai Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital,Baoding First Central Hospital and Handan Ma-ternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2021 to February 2023 were selected,patients were divided into MC group(63 cases)and non-MC group(148 cases)according to whether MC was complicated within 1 year,and 108 healthy children who underwent physical examination during the same period were selected as control group.The levels of serum GLP-1,MCP-1,IGFBP-3 and glucose and lipid metabolism indexes[fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting insulin(FINS),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)]and bone metabolism indexes[bone specific alkaline phosphatase(BALP),osteocalcin(OST),type I collagen cross-linked C-terminal peptide(CTX)]were detec-ted.The correlation between serum GLP-1,MCP-1,IGFBP-3 and glucose and lipid metabolism,bone metabo-lism in children with T1DM were analyzed by Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficient.Taking MC in children with T1DM as the dependent variable,the influencing factors were determined by multivariate uncon-ditional Logistic regression model,and the predictive value of serum GLP-1,MCP-1 and IGFBP-3 for MC were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve.Results The levels of serum GLP-1,FINS,HDL-C,BALP,OST and CTX in the T1DM group were lower than those in the control group,while the levels of MCP-1,IGFBP-3,FPG,HbA1c,HOMA-IR,TG and LDL-C in the T1DM group were higher than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Serum GLP-1 in children with T1DM was negatively correlated with FPG,HbA1c,HOMA-IR,TG and LDL-C,and positively correlated with FINS,HDL-C,BALP,OST and CTX(P<0.05).MCP-1 and IGFBP-3 were positively correlated with FPG,HbA1c,HOMA-IR,TG and LDL-C,and negatively correlated with FINS,HDL-C,BALP,OST and CTX(P<0.05).Follow-up for 1 year,the incidence of MC in 211 children with T1DM was 29.86%(63/211).Elevated HbA1c,HOMA-IR,LDL-C,MCP-1 and IGFBP-3 were independent risk factors for MC in children with T1DM,and elevated GLP-1 was an independent protective factor(P<0.05).The area under the curve of ser-um GLP-1,MCP-1 and IGFBP-3 combined to predict MC in children with T1DM was 0.919,which was grea-ter than 0.781,0.788 and 0.794 predicted by serum GLP-1,MCP-1 and IGFBP-3 alone(P<0.05).Conclu-sion The decrease of serum GLP-1 level and the increase of MCP-1 and IGFBP-3 levels are related to glyco-lipid metabolism,bone metabolism disorder and MC in children with T1DM,the combined application of ser-um GLP-1,MCP-1 and IGFBP-3 has a good predictive value for MC in children with T1DM.

Children， as a special group， frequently experience of off-label drug use worldwide. Common reasons for off-label drug use in children include the lack of data on pediatric patients during the clinical trial stage of drug development， delayed updates to drug instructions， and the non-standard professional behavior of some doctors. Off-label drug use in children is a double-edged sword. It could save lives and provide a way to explore additional functions of drugs， while it may also lead to the phenomenon of hyper-indication abuse， increasing the risk of adverse drug events. Regulating off-label drug use in children can safeguard the best treatment rights and interests of children. It is recommended to encourage pharmaceutical enterprises to conduct research and development of pediatric new drugs， simplify the approval process for drug instructions amendments， accumulate evidence-based medical evidence for off-label drug use in children， standardize the process of off-label drug use in children in medical institutions， continuously improve the standardized diagnosis and treatment capabilities of pediatricians， and actively cooperate with the families of pediatric patients in diagnosis and treatment， so as to comprehensively safeguard the rights and interests of both doctors and patients.

ObjectiveTo understand the epidemiological characteristics of syphilis in Ruian City, so as to provide a scientific basis for developing syphilis prevention and control strategies. MethodsDescriptive epidemiological methods were used to investigate the infection status of syphilis cases reported among the permanent resident population in Ruian City from 2014 to 2023, and its epidemiological characteristics were analyzed. ResultsA total of 5 482 syphilis cases were reported in Ruian from 2014 to 2023, with a male-female ratio of 1∶1.47. The average annual incidence rate from 2014 to 2023 was 37.51/100 000, with a declining trend in the incidence rate among females (APC=-4.78%, P<0.05). The incidence of primary and secondary syphilis decreased, while the proportion of latent syphilis cases increased. No cases of congenital syphilis were reported from 2017 to 2023. The majority of cases (60.29%) were reported among individuals aged 20‒<50 years. In terms of occupation, the highest proportion was found among housekeepers and the unemployed, constituting 42.70% the total cases. Dermatology departments reported the most cases in medical institutions, accounting for 33.38% of the total cases. The most likely route of infection was heterosexual transmission, accounting for 85.84%. ConclusionThe incidence of syphilis among females in Ruian City shows a declining trend, but the overall situation remains concerning. Prevention and control efforts should be intensified among key groups and high-risk populations, along with an enhancement on health education to curb the spread of syphilis.
