OBJECTIVE To provide guidance for the individualized use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in patients with epilepsy or bipolar affective disorder.METHODS Clinical data of patients with epilepsy or bipolar affective disorder who received AEDs treatment and underwent therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) at Xi’an International Medical Center Hospital from January 2023 to December 2025 were retrospectively collected. The baseline information, characteristics of AEDs utilization, implementation status of TDM and laboratory parameters were summarized. Spearman correlation analysis, univariate analysis and multivariate linear regression analysis were performed to identify the independent influencing factors for blood concentrations of AEDs.RESULTS A total of 1 572 patients were enrolled, including 660 males and 912 females. The majority were aged ≥60 years (30.15%); 71.76% of patients were on monotherapy with AEDs, with valproic acid being the most commonly prescribed (51.97%); combination therapy was predominantly a two-drug regimen (26.21%), while three-drug regimens were rare (2.04%). A total of 2 901 blood samples for TDM were collected, with the highest number of samples for valproic acid and levetiracetam (1 987 and 684 samples, respectively). TDM for all five drugs was primarily conducted once; among which, the blood concentrations attainment rates exceeded 50% for patients taking valproic acid and levetiracetam, while the median blood concentrations for patients taking lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine, and carbamazepine were all below the lower limit of the therapeutic reference range. Based on the results of Spearman correlation analysis, univariate analysis, and multivariate linear regression analysis, patient gender, platelet count (PLT), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and total bilirubin (TBil) were found to be independent factors influencing blood concentration of valproic acid (unstandardized coefficients were -6.770 7, -0.078 6, -0.099 4, 0.083 2, -0.578 9, P <0.05), while age and creatinine (CRE) were found to be independent factors influencing blood concentration of levetiracetam (unstandardized coefficients were 0.108 7, 0.047 8, P <0.05).CONCLUSIONS Female gender and elevated AST levels are risk factors for increased blood concentration of valproic acid, while elevated PLT, ALT and TBil levels are associated with decreased blood concentration of valproic acid. Patients of advanced age and those with renal insufficiency bear a relatively high risk of in vivo levetiracetam accumulation.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the protective effect and possible related mechanisms of Sophora subprostrate polysaccharide(SSP)on intestinal epithelial cell injury in-duced by Tert-Butyl hydroperoxide(TBHP).The optimal dose of TBHP and the safe concentra-tion range of SSP were determined using the MTT method.In this study,IPEC-J2 cells were divid-ed into five groups:the control group,the model group,the SSPL group,the SSPM group and the SSPH group,and the cell morphology,cell survival rate and LDH release rate were observed and measured.The content of intracellular reactive ROS was observed and determined by DCFH-DA staining.The content of MDA in the supernatant and the antioxidant index of cells were determined by the reagent kit.Transcriptome technology was employed to analyze the potential mechanisms by which SSP mitigates oxidative damage in IPEC-J2 cells.The results showed that treatment with 625 μmol/L TBHP for 2 h significantly reduced the activity of IPEC-J2 cells,markedly increased LDH release(P<0.05),inhibited CAT superoxide SOD and glutathione GPX activities(P<0.05),and significantly elevated MDA and ROS levels(P<0.05).Compared to the model group,after SSP treatment,intracellular ROS levels were significantly reduced(P<0.05),while CAT,SOD,and GPX activities were significantly increased(P<0.05),and MDA content and LDH re-lease were significantly decreased(P<0.05)in a dose-dependent manner.Transcriptome analysis revealed that TBHP treatment significantly altered the transcriptional profiles of IPEC-J2 cells,while SSP treatment could restore the transcriptional profiles of the damaged cells to a certain ex-tent.Gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)indicated that the differentially expressed genes between the CC and TBHP groups were significantly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation,ribosome,and other pathways.Meanwhile,the differentially expressed genes between the SSP and TBHP groups were mainly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation,ap-optosis,glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism,and other pathways.These results suggest that TBHP may disrupt normal oxidative respiration in IPEC-J2 cells by affecting oxidative phospho-rylation and interfering with metabolism pathways involving glycine,serine,and threonine,leading to oxidative damage in intestinal epithelial cells.Conversely,SSP treatment may potentially restore oxidative phosphorylation processes,alleviate lysosomal damage,reduce cell apoptosis,and miti-gate oxidative damage in intestinal epithelial cells through modulation of oxidative phosphoryla-tion,apoptosis,and lysosomal pathways.This discovery provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of SSP in alleviating oxidative damage in the porcine intestinal tract.

ObjectiveTo unveil the mechanism of Jianpi Huogu prescription (JPHGP) in ameliorating the dyslipidemia of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femur head (SONFH) by oxylipidomics combined with transcriptomics. MethodsSixty SD rats were assigned into normal, model, low-, medium-, and high-dose (2.5, 5, 10 g·kg-1, respectively) JPHGP, and Jiangushengwan (1.53 g·kg-1) groups. Lipopolysaccharide was injected into the tail vein at a dose of 20 μg·kg-1 on days 1 and 2, and methylprednisolone sodium succinate was injected at a dose of 40 mg·kg-1 into the buttock muscle on days 3 to 5. The normal group received an equal volume of normal saline. Drug administration by gavage began 4 weeks after the last injection, and samples were taken after administration for 8 weeks. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was conducted to reveal the histopathological changes of the femoral head, and the number of adipocytes, the rate of empty bone lacunae, and the trabecular area were calculated. Micro-computed tomography was used for revealing the histological and histomorphometrical changes of the femoral head. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the serum levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), and apolipoprotein B (ApoB). At the same time, the femoral head was collected for oxylipidomic and transcriptomic detection. The differential metabolites and differential genes were enriched and analyzed, and the target genes regulating lipid metabolism were predicted. The predicted target proteins were further verified by molecular docking, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group showcased thinning of the femoral head, trabecular fracture, karyopyknosis, subchondral cystic degeneration, increases in the number of adipocytes and the rate of empty bone lacunae (P<0.01), a reduction in the trabecular area (P<0.01), decreases in BMD, Tb.Th, Tb.N, and BV/TV, and increases in Tb.Sp and BS/BV (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the JPHGP groups showed no obvious thinning of the femoral head or subchondroidal cystic degeneration. The high- and medium-dose JPHGP groups presented declines in the number of adipocytes and the rate of empty bone lacunae, an increase in the trabecular area (P<0.05, P<0.01), rises in BMD, Tb.Th, Tb.N, and BV/TV, and decreases in Tb.Sp and BS/BV (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the normal group, the model group showcased raised serum levels of TG, TC, LDL, and ApoB and lowered serum levels of HDL and ApoA1 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the JPHGP groups had lowered serum levels of TG, TC, LDL, and ApoB (P<0.05, P<0.01) and a risen serum level of ApoA1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, the serum level of HDL in the high-dose JPHGP group increased (P<0.01). A total of 19 different metabolites of disease set and drug set were screened out by oxylipidomics of the femoral head, and 119 core genes with restored expression were detected by transcriptomics. The enriched pathways were mainly concentrated in inflammation, lipids, apoptosis, and osteoclast differentiation. Molecular docking, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot results showed that compared with the normal group, the model group displayed increased content of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in the femoral head (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, medium- and high-dose JPHGP reduced the content of 5-LO and PPARγ (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionJPHGP can restore the levels of oxidized lipid metabolites by regulating the 5-LO-PPARγ axis to treat SONFH in rats. Relevant studies provide experimental evidence for the efficacy mechanism of JPHGP in the treatment of SONFH.

Objective:To analyze the association between moderate-to-vigorous-physical activity (MVPA) and obesity, poor sleep quality, as well as multimorbidity in 7- to 8-year-old children in Shanghai City.Methods:From September to November 2023, a cluster sampling method was used to select second-grade students from four primary schools in Jinshan District, Shanghai. Three-axis acceleration motion sensors (GT3X+, Acti-graph) were used to monitor daily physical activity for seven consecutive days. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between MVPA duration characteristics and obesity, poor sleep quality and multimorbidity in school-age children.Results:Of the 937 study participants, 512 (54.64%) were boys and 425 (45.36%) were girls. Among them, 89 (9.50%) were obese and 782 (83.46%) had poor sleep quality. A total of 77 cases (8.22%) were affected by obesity and poor sleep quality. The average daily MVPA time was (45.97±15.87) minutes, and the MVPA attainment rate was 17.18%. The multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that, after adjusting for covariates, the daily average MVPA time was negatively associated with the risk of obesity ( OR=0.982, 95% CI: 0.968-0.997), as well as multimorbidity ( OR=0.981, 95% CI: 0.965-0.997). The risk of obesity, poor sleep quality and multimorbidity in <1 d was 2.228 ( OR=2.228, 95% CI: 1.398-3.549), 1.702 ( OR=1.702, 95% CI: 1.141-2.540) and 2.150 ( OR=2.150, 95% CI: 1.310-3.528) times higher than that in ≥1 d. Conclusion:Obesity, poor sleep quality and multimorbidity of school-age children are closely related to the level of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
