Objective To explore the adverse event signals of children using macrolide drugs （azithromycin, clarithromycin, and erythromycin）, and provide reference for rational medicine use in clinical practice. Methods Data from children under 12 years old were extracted from the US FAERS database spanning from the first quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2023. The adverse drug reaction （ADR） signal mining for three macrolide antibiotics was conducted using the Reporting Odds Ratio （ROR） and Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network （BCPNN） methods. Special emphasis was placed on analyzing and contrasting the differences in adverse events among the three drugs. Results A total of 1 615 reports for children under 12 years old were retrieved from the FAERS database, including 1 024 reports of azithromycin, 460 reports of clarithromycin, and 131 reports of erythromycin. Among azithromycin and erythromycin, there were more reports from boys than girls, while for clarithromycin, there were more reports from girls than boys. Oral administration was the most common route of administration for all three drugs. Regarding the outcome of adverse events reported, azithromycin and clarithromycin were primarily associated with other serious adverse events, whereas erythromycin was mainly associated with hospitalization and other serious adverse events. The number of adverse events reported decreased with increasing age, with a higher number of reports in the 0-3 age group. Using the ROR and BCPNN methods for signal detection, 86 signals were identified for azithromycin, 91 for clarithromycin, and 34 for erythromycin. These signals involved 22 System Organ Classes （SOCs）, with azithromycin mainly concentrated in skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders （n=21）, clarithromycin in gastrointestinal disorders （n=15）, and erythromycin in gastrointestinal disorders （n=8）. Twenty-four signals of moderate to high risk were detected, with 13 for azithromycin, 9 for clarithromycin, and 2 for erythromycin. Conclusion The adverse events induced by the three drugs with different risks in different systems. When clinically treating Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children, the risk profiles of drugs in different systems should be considered, and personalized dosing should be implemented.

ObjectiveThis study aims to systematically analyze the blood-absorbed components and metabolic profiles of Xiebaisan（XBS） in normal and chronic bronchitis （CB） mice using ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）， while comparing differences between the two states. MethodsThirty female BABL/c mice were randomly divided into the normal group， the normal drug administration group， the CB group， the CB drug administration group and the dexamethasone group， with 6 mice in each group. The CB mouse model was established by inducing with ovalbumin （OVA）. The mice in the normal drug administration group and the CB drug administration group started to be gavaged with XBS（13.2 g·kg^-1） from the 21^st day， and the dexamethasone group mice were simultaneously gavaged with dexamethasone （0.5 mg·kg^-1） until the end of the 35^th day of the experiment. Subsequently， serum samples were collected and evaluated for their efficacy， based on the pharmacological evaluation indicators， to determine the efficacy of XBS in treating CB. Then the UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS was employed to identify and analyze the chemical constituents， blood-absorbed components， and metabolites of XBS. Chemometric analysis was conducted to reveal metabolic profile differences under "dual states". Concurrently， Real-time PCR technology was utilized to detect the expression levels of key liver metabolic enzymes CYP2E1， CYP3A1， UGT1A1， and UGT1A6. ResultsA total of 28 prototype components and 158 metabolites （including 48 phase Ⅰ metabolites and 110 phase Ⅱ metabolites） of XBS were unambiguously identified in the serum of normal mice. Additionally， a comprehensive characterization was performed on a total of 32 prototype components and 178 metabolites （including 50 phase Ⅰ metabolites and 128 phase Ⅱ metabolites） of XBS in the serum of CB mice. Among them， 27 prototype components were detected in both states， including 12 flavonoids， 2 alkaloids， 3 triterpenes， 4 organic acids， 3 amides， 1 stilbene and 2 other compounds. The chemometrics analysis revealed no significant difference in the prototype components and metabolites of XBS between normal and CB mice； however， there was a significant increase in the in-vivo exposure of XBS in CB mice. Compared to normal mice， the levels of phase Ⅰ metabolites such as oxidation， reduction and methylation of blood components of XBS as well as phase Ⅱ metabolites of glucuronidation showed significant changes in CB mice. Real-time PCR further confirmed that these alterations were attributed to the upregulation of CYP2E1 （P<0.05）， CYP3A1 （P>0.05）， UGT1A1 （P<0.01） and UGT1A6 （P<0.01） enzymes expression in the liver of CB mice. ConclusionThis study elucidated the disparities in the levels of the blood-absorbed components and metabolic profiles of XBS in normal and CB mice， especially in oxidation， reduction， methylation in phase Ⅰ metabolism and glucoaldehyde acidification in phase Ⅱ metabolism. And there are related to the differences in the expression levels of phase Ⅰ and phase Ⅱ metabolic enzymes CYP2E1， CYP3A1， UGT1A1 and UGT1A6 in the liver.

Autoimmune hepatitis （AIH） is a chronic inflammatory liver disease mediated by T lymphocytes， and it can progress to liver cirrhosis or even liver failure without timely intervention. As a natural flavonoid compound， naringenin （NAR） shows a potential value in the prevention and treatment of AIH through multiple mechanisms such as remodeling immune homeostasis， targeted inhibition of inflammatory pathways， antioxidation， regulating hepatocyte metabolism and apoptosis， improving mitochondrial function， and regulating intestinal flora. However， the clinical translation and application of NAR is limited by issues such as low bioavailability and insufficient efficiency of liver-targeted delivery. This article systematically reviews the mechanism of action of NAR in the prevention and treatment of AIH， explores the potential signaling pathways involved in this process， and analyzes existing challenges in its translation and application and future research directions， so as to provide a reference for further research on NAR and its application in the prevention and treatment of AIH.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of baicalein on acute myocardial injury in rats with high-level spinal cord injury (SCI) and the role of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2).Methods:Twenty-four clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 250-300 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), SCI group, SCI+ baicalein group (SCI+ Bai group) and SCI+ baicalein+ ML385 group (SCI+ Bai+ ML385 group). The high-level SCI rat model was established by the modified Allens method. In Sham group, the 7th cervical vertebra (C 7) was only exposed, but the spinal cord was not hit. In SCI group, C 7 was exposed and the spinal cord was hit. In SCI+ Bai group, baicalein 50 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected immediately after SCI. In SCI+ Bai+ ML385 group, Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 30 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before SCI, and baicalein 50 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected immediately after SCI. The rats were anesthetized at 24 h after SCI and sacrificed after the blood samples from the abdominal aorta were collected and the hearts were taken for microscopic examination of the pathological changes (by HE staining) which were scored and the ultrastructure of cells (with a transmission electron microscope) and for determination of the serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentrations (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), content of ferrous ion (Fe 2+ ) in myocardial tissues (by colorimetry), contents of malondialdehyde(MDA) and glutathione (GSH) and activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in myocardial tissues (by biochemical method) and expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), acyl CoA synthase long chain family member 4 (ACSl4) and Nrf2 protein and mRNA in myocardial tissues (by Western blot and fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction). The mitochondrial Flameng score was assessed and recorded. Results:Compared with Sham group, the pathological score, mitochondrial Flameng score and serum cTnI concentrations were significantly increased, the contents of Fe 2+ and MDA in myocardial tissues were increased, the content of GSH and SOD activity were decreased, the expression of GPX4 was down-regulated, and the expression of ACSL4 and Nrf2 was up-regulated in SCI group ( P<0.05). Compared with SCI group, the pathological score, mitochondrial Flameng score and serum cTnI concentration were significantly decreased, the contents of Fe 2+ and MDA in myocardial tissues were decreased, the contents of GSH and SOD activity were increased, the expression of GPX4 and Nrf2 was up-regulated, and the expression of ACSL4 was down-regulated in SCI+ Bai group ( P<0.05). Compared with SCI+ Bai group, the pathological score, mitochondrial Flameng score and serum cTnI concentrations were significantly increased, the contents of Fe 2+ and MDA in myocardial tissues were increased, the content of GSH and SOD activity were decreased, the expression of GPX4 and Nrf2 was down-regulated, and the expression of ACSL4 was up-regulated in SCI+ Bai+ ML385 group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Baicalein can alleviate acute myocardial injury in rats with high-level SCI, and Nrf2 is involved in this process.

Objective To explore the change trajectory of self-acceptance of patients with permanent urostomy,in order to provide basis for self-acceptance intervention practice of patients.Methods 168 patients with abdominal wall stoma with urinary diversion from June 2021 to June 2023 in Fudan University Cancer Hospital were selected as the survey subjects by convenience sampling.We used a general information questionnaire,SAQ,PTGI,SSRS,and COST-PROM.Baseline surveys were conducted a week after surgery(T0),and follow-up surveys were conducted at 1 month(T1),3 months(T2),and 6 months(T3)after discharge.The mixed model of latent variable growth was used to analyze the change trajectory of self-acceptance of patients with permanent urinary stoma,and the core predictors of each subtype were explored through the decision tree model.Results The number of patients who participated in the 4 surveys was 168,168,165 and 163,respectively,and the final questionnaire recovery rate was 97.02％(163/168).The self-acceptance scores of patients with permanent urostomy were(35.72±8.63)(36.81±9.23)(39.88±8.95)and(43.17±9.56)points,respectively.The 3 subgroups of self-acceptance changes were identified,including low self-acceptance slow rising group(49.08％),medium self-acceptance first falling then rising group(30.06％),and medium self-acceptance fast rising group(20.86％)(P＜0.001).The decision tree model showed that education level,age,post-traumatic growth,social support,and economic burden could all predict the change track subtype of self-acceptance of patients with permanent urostomy,and the importance of post-traumatic growth was 100％.Conclusion The self-acceptance of patients with permanent urostomy is generally on the rise,and there is a population heterogeneity development track.Posttraumatic growth is the core predictor.It is important to identify the slow increase group of low self-acceptance according to the predictive indicators,and construct an intervention program focusing on improving the post-traumatic growth of patients with permanent urinary stoma to improve their self-acceptance level.

Objective:To investigate the role of WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (WWP1) in enamel development of mice.Methods:Single-cell RNA sequencing data of incisor tissues of postnatal day 7 (P7) mice and mandibular first molar tooth germs of P3.5 mice were used to analyze the expression of Wwp1 in dental epithelial cells. Immunohistochemistry was performed to observe the distribution and expression levels of WWP1 in the epithelium of mouse incisors and mandibular first molar tooth germs. Wwp1 knockout (Wwp1 KO) mice were generated and collected with their control littermates at P1, P7, three mice per group, as well as at P14, P28, 2 months (2M), and 3M, six mice per group. The enamel volumes of molars and incisors were analyzed using micro-CT. Scanning electron microscopy was employed to examine the enamel cross-sections of Wwp1 KO and control mice. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was used to analyze the calcium and phosphorus content of the enamel rod of incisors. Immunofluorescence was performed to detect the expression of amelogenin (AMELX) in the ameloblasts of Wwp1 KO and control mice. Additionally, LS-8 ameloblast-like epithelial cells were cultured, and Wwp1 siRNA or overexpression plasmids were transfected to knock down or overexpress WWP1. The protein levels of AMELX were then assessed by Western blotting.Results:Single-cell sequencing result showed a high Wwp1 mRNA expression level in the epithelial cells of mouse incisors and mandibular molar tooth germs. Immunohistochemistry revealed the expression of WWP1 in presecretory, secretory, transitional, and mature ameloblasts. Wwp1 KO mice exhibited enamel developmental defects. The enamel volumes of molars and incisors in Wwp1 KO mice [(0.155±0.016), (0.300±0.017) μm 3] were reduced by 23.95% ( P<0.001) and 28.31% ( P<0.001) compared with the control group [(0.203±0.062), (0.418±0.023) μm 3] respectively. Scanning electron microscopy showed disorganized enamel structures in Wwp1 KO incisors and molars. EDS results showed the weight percent of calcium in the enamel rod of incisors decreased in Wwp1 KO mice [(20.74±0.91)%] compared with the control group [(30.30±3.83)%] ( P<0.001), and the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio decreased in Wwp1 KO mice (1.93±0.01) compared with the control group (2.02±0.01) ( P<0.001). Immunofluorescence showed weaker AMELX expression in ameloblasts of mandibular first molar tooth germs from P1 and P7 Wwp1 KO mice compared with the control group ( P<0.001, P<0.001). In LS-8 cells, Wwp1 knocked-down led to a decrease of AMELX protein expression, while WWP1 overexpression resulted in an increased AMELX protein level. Conclusions:WWP1 promotes ameloblast differentiation and enamel matrix mineralization, playing a critical role in enamel formation.

Locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a highly heterogeneous disease. For patients with driver gene-negative, unresectable NSCLC, traditional treatment primarily involves concurrent chemoradiotherapy. With the advent of the immunotherapy era, integrated treatment strategies combining concurrent chemoradiotherapy with immunotherapy have significantly improved therapeutic outcomes and substantially extended survival periods. This article summarizes the interaction mechanisms and clinical research progress of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of NSCLC. This review also provides perspectives on the development of therapies in the future and predictive biomarkers, serving as a reference for treatment options for patients with unresectable locally advanced NSCLC.

Brain metastases are the most common intracranial tumors, and their incidence is increasing with the improvement of systemic treatments and survival rates. Optimal treatment usually requires a multidisciplinary approach, including radiotherapy, surgical resection, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Stereotactic radiotherapy, compared to whole-brain radiotherapy, offers improved local control rates and reduced risk of neurocognitive impairment, and has become a new standard option for the treatment of brain metastases. Additionally, the widespread use of targeted and immune therapies in brain metastases has significantly improved the survival of some patients. This article reviews and integrates recent literature on the treatment of brain metastases and analyzes the role of stereotactic radiotherapy in comprehensive treatment, aiming to provide a reference for the selection of clinical treatment plans.

Objective:To evaluate the left atrial function in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy（HCM）combined with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction（HFpEF）using four-dimensional automated left atrial quantification（4D Auto LAQ）technology，and to investigate the independent factors affecting patients with HCM combined with HFpEF.Methods:One hundred HCM patients with left ventricular ejection fraction（LVEF）≥ 50% who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2023 to March 2025 were prospectively selected. There were 50 cases in the HFpEF group and 50 cases in the non-HF group. The clinical data and conventional ultrasound parameters of HCM patients were collected. The 4D Auto LAQ technology was applied to obtain the four-dimensional volume and strain parameters of the left atrium，including the minimum left atrial volume（LAVmin），the maximum left atrial volume（LAVmax），the maximum left atrial volume index（LAVImax），the pre-atrial contraction volume（LAVpreA），the left atrial emptying volume（LAEV），the left atrial ejection fraction（LAEF），the longitudinal and circumferential strains in the left atrial reservoir period（LASr，LASr-c），the longitudinal and circumferential strains in the left atrial conduit period（LAScd，LAScd-c），the longitudinal and circumferential strains in the left atrial contraction period（LASct，LASct-c），and the minimum left atrial volume index（LAVImin）. The differences in the above parameters between the two groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the independent influencing factors in HCM patients with HFpEF. The intraclass correlation coefficient was used to test the repeatability of the 4D Auto LAQ parameters.Results:Compared with the non-HF group，LAVmin，LAVmax，LAVpreA，LAVImin，and LAVImax increased，while LAEF，LASr，LAScd，LASct，LASr-c，LAScd-c，and LASct-c decreased in the HFpEF group（all P<0.05）. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that LASr was the strongest independent influencing factor in patients with HCM combined with HFpEF（ OR=0.255， P=0.003）. The consistency test showed that the intraclass correlation coefficients of each parameters of 4D Auto LAQ were all>0.7，the consistency was good. Conclusions:4D Auto LAQ technology can be used to evaluate left atrial function in patients with HCM combined with HFpEF，and LASr is the strongest independent influence factor in patients with HCM combined with HFpEF.
