OBJECTIVE To investigate a dynamic monitoring of drug consumption （DMDC） model based on the seasonal Mann-Kendall trend test， aiming to provide scientific evidence for the efficient and macroscopic monitoring of drug use. METHODS A monitoring list of key outpatient drugs was established based on the top 20% of drugs ranked by sales volume in the outpatient pharmacy in October 2024. A DMDC model based on the Mann-Kendall trend test was constructed using the monthly usage data of key outpatient drugs from November 2021 to October 2024， aiming to eliminate the impact of seasonal fluctuations and analyze the temporal trends in drug consumption. Taking mucolytic expectorants， triazole derivatives for dermatophytosis， and single-agent hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A （HMG-CoA） reductase inhibitors as examples， the monitoring effectiveness of the DMDC model was demonstrated， and its performance was compared with that achieved by the traditional sequential growth rate ranking method. RESULTS A total of 215 drug varieties were included in the monitoring list， and DMDC models were successfully established for all of them. Among these， 119 showed a significant increasing trend （P＜0.05， S′＞0）. The model successfully monitored the monthly consumption of mucolytic expectorants， triazole derivatives for dermatophytosis， and single- agent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. The precision and recall rates of the DMDC model for identifying abnormal drug use were 60.7% and 85.0%， respectively， both significantly higher than those of the sequential growth rate ranking method （8.3% and 15.0%， respectively） （χ2＝20.114， P＜0.001； χ2＝19.600， P＜0.001）. CONCLUSIONS DMDC model based on the seasonal Mann-Kendall trend test can effectively identify long-term trends in drug consumption， eliminate seasonal interference， enhance monitoring accuracy and management efficiency， and is suitable for the dynamic monitoring of drug consumption.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of gemcitabine and cisplatin (GP) regimen in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor sintilimab as neoadjuvant therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients and the feasibility of the following selective bladder sparing surgery. Materials and Methods: Patients with histopathologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma without distant metastases (T2-4a, N ≤ 1, M0, American Joint Committee of Cancer 8th) and with adequate organ function will be enrolled. The therapeutic regimen was sintilimab 200 mg once on day 8, gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 and cisplatin 35 mg/m2 once on days 1 and 8, every 21 days for four cycles. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR, pT0N0) rate. The secondary end points were ypT < 2 rate, R0 resection rate, event-free survival, and safety. Results: From May 4, 2020, to May 20, 2023, 55 patients were enrolled. Forty-six patients were evaluated for efficacy. Among the 42 patients who underwent surgery, 16 patients (38.0%) achieved pCR. Thirty-three patients (78.6%) achieved pT < 2. With a median follow-up of 15.7 months, the 1-year event-free survival was 91.3%. Notwithstanding the poor pathological baseline characteristic of a high T3-T4a proportion (39.1%), a promising bladder preservation (including 22 patients transurethral resection of bladder tumor, 5 patients partial cystectomy, and 4 surveillances) rate was achieved (67.4%). The most common grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events was neutropenia (n=15, 27.3%), which was related to chemotherapy. There were no grade 3 immune-related adverse events. Conclusion Neoadjuvant GP plus sintilimab is a promising regimen for MIBC patients, with relatively high pT < 2 rate and triggering the emerging roles for the multi-disciplinary team decision-making for bladder sparing surgery.

ObjectiveTo explore the function and related molecular mechanisms of magnoflorine against colon cancer via network pharmacology， molecular docking， and in vitro cell experiments. MethodsIn this study， the canonical SMILES of magnoflorine was obtained from the PubChem database， and the potential targets of magnoflorine were predicted by the Swiss Target Prediction database， while the disease targets of colon cancer were obtained from the DisGeNET， GeneCards and OMIM databases. The intersecting targets between magnoflorine's predicted targets and colon cancer disease targets were taken， and a protein-protein interaction （PPI） network was constructed and analyzed. The DAVID online database was employed to conduct Gene Ontology （GO） and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses on core targets. The top five key targets screened were docked with magnoflorine using AutoDock software. Finally， cellular experiments including CCK-8 assays， EdU experiments， cell scratch assays， and Transwell assays were conducted to validate the results from network pharmacology and molecular docking. Results44 key targets of magnoflorine in resisting colon cancer were acquired. The molecular docking results showed that magnoflorine had a strong binding activity with the core target signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） in the top five of the PPI network. Cellular experiments confirmed that magnoflorine could inhibit the proliferation and migration of colon cancer cells by suppressing the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway. ConclusionMagnoflorine may inhibit the proliferation and migration of colon cancer cells by regulating the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To provide scientific evidence and practical references for refined antimicrobial stewardship in multi- branch medical institutions. METHODS Data of antibiotic use density （AUD） of inpatients as well as physician-level case mix index （CMI） were collected from the Liji Road main campus and Panlongcheng branch campus of our hospital from August 2023 to March 2026. The two-factor decomposition method was adopted to decompose total AUD variation into a level effect and structural effect. Grey relational analysis （GRA） was performed to quantify the correlation degree between ward CMI， physician CMI and physician AUD， so as to identify wards and physicians requiring targeted key intervention in different campuses. A refined antimicrobial management framework for multi-branch hospitals was constructed and implemented based on the above analytical results. An interrupted time series （ITS） model incorporating seasonal dummy variables was applied. The research period was divided into pre-intervention stage （August 2023 to March 2024） and post-intervention stage （April 2024 to March 2026）. The temporal changing trends of AUD in two campuses were compared to evaluate management efficacy. RESULTS Driving factors for AUD variation presented significant heterogeneity between the two campuses. AUD variation in the main campus was dominated by level effect， while AUD variation in the branch campus was jointly affected by structural effect and level effect. The grey relational degrees of ward CMI and physician CMI with physician AUD were 0.901 and 0.882， respectively. After refined management implementation， AUD decreased by 7.48 DDDs/（100 bed·days） and 20.54 DDDs/（100 bed·days） in the main campus and branch campus， respectively； the rising trends of AUD in both campuses reversed to declining trends after intervention. CONCLUSIONS Driving factors of AUD variation under the multi-branch hospital model show obvious inter-campus heterogeneity. CMI is highly correlated with AUD. The refined management system developed via AUD attribution decomposition and CMI correlation analysis matches the differentiated clinical characteristics of multi- branch hospitals and effectively improves the precision of antimicrobial stewardship.

OBJECTIVE To establish an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS） method for the simultaneous determination of the contents of six Aconitum alkaloids in Compound chondroitin sulfate tablets， and to perform quality evaluation of samples from different batches， thereby providing a reference for the quality control of this preparation.METHODS Chromatographic separation was performed on an Agilent SB-C 18 column using gradient elution with 0.2% formic acid （adjusted to pH 7.5 with ammonia） and acetonitrile as the mobile phases. The flow rate was 0.3 mL/min， the column temperature was 35 ℃， and the injection volume was 1 μL. Mass spectrometric analysis was performed using an AJS ESI + ion source in multiple reaction monitoring mode， with quantification by the external standard method. Method validation was performed. The established UPLC-MS/MS method was applied to determine the contents of the six Aconitum alkaloids in 64 batches of samples from three manufacturers， including three diester-type alkaloids （aconitine， hypaconitine， and mesaconitine） and three monoester-type alkaloids （benzoylaconine， benzoylhypaconine， and benzoylmesaconine）. Descriptive statistics， the Kruskal-Wallis H test， principal component analysis （PCA）， and Spearman’s rank correlation analysis were used to evaluate the content distribution of Aconitum alkaloids， differences among samples from different manufacturers， and correlations among the components.RESULTS Good linearity was observed for the six Aconitum alkaloids over their respective concentration ranges， with correlation coefficients （all r ＞0.99）. The relative standard deviations （RSDs） for precision， repeatability， and stability were all less than 5%. The limits of detection and quantification were no higher than 0.003 ng/mL and 0.01 ng/mL， respectively. The mean recoveries ranged from 96.43% to 102.30%， with RSDs ranging from 0.35% to 4.92%. Among the 64 batches of samples， the total content of monoester-type alkaloids （mean value of 0.034 9 mg/tablet） was markedly higher than that of diester-type alkaloids （mean value of 0.002 2 mg/tablet）. Benzoylmesaconine showed the highest content， with a mean value of 0.031 0 mg/tablet， whereas the other five components were present at relatively low levels and showed considerable inter-batch variation. No statistically significant differences were observed in the contents of the six components among samples from different manufacturers （ P ＞0.05）. PCA showed no obvious clustering trend， and significant correlations were observed among some components （ P ＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC-MS/MS method enables the rapid and accurate simultaneous determination of the above-mentioned six Aconitum alkaloids in Compound chondroitin sulfate tablets. The quality evaluation of multiple batches of samples provides a reference for the quality control of this preparation.

Precancerous lesions of gastric cancer （PLGC） are a group of pathological changes caused by abnormalities in the structure， morphology， and differentiation of gastric mucosal epithelial cells. Since the early symptoms are hidden and non-specific， PLGC is not easy to be diagnosed and it has often developed into intermediate or advanced gastric cancer once being diagnosed and missed the best time for treatment. Accordingly， the incidence of this disease is increasing year by year， which lifts a heavy burden on the patients. The pathogenesis of PLGC is complex， involving inflammatory microenvironment， bile reflux， glycolysis， autophagy， and apoptosis. Currently， PLGC is mainly treated with anti-inflammatory and endoscopic therapies， which are difficult to curb the development of PLGC. Therefore， seeking a safe and effective therapy is an important topic of modern research. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， characterized by treatment based on syndrome differentiation and a holistic view， exerts effects via multiple pathways， mechanisms， and targets. Recent studies have confirmed that TCM can regulate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin （PI3K/Akt/mTOR）， Wnt/β-catenin， Sonic Hedgehog， nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）， Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription （JAK/STAT）， hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α）， neurogenic locus notch homolog protein （Notch）， nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2） and other signaling pathways. By targeting these pathways， TCM can inhibit aerobic glycolysis， reduce oxidative stress， repair the inflammatory microenvironment， regulate cellular autophagy， and promote vascular normalization， thereby delaying or reversing PLGC. However， few researchers have systematically summarized the TCM regulation of PLGC-associated pathways. By reviewing the relevant articles at home and abroad， this paper summarized the roles of the above signaling pathways in the development of PLGC and the research progress in the regulation of signaling pathways by TCM in the treatment of PLGC， with a view to providing a new theoretical basis for the clinical research on PLGC and the drug development for this disease.

Background Mitochondrial biogenesis is pivotal in coal workers' pneumoconiosis fibrosis, yet the role of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α)-nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1)-mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) pathway inmitochondrial biogenesis remains elusive, warranting further investigation. Objective To elucidate the role of the PGC-1α-NRF1-TFAM pathway in mitochondrial biogenesis in a rat coal workers' pneumoconiosis model through in vivo and in vitro experiments. Methods (1)n vivo: twelve SPF male SD rats (200-220 g) were randomized into a control group and a coal dust group (n=6 per group). After acclimatization, the coal dust group received 1 mL 50 mg·mL⁻¹ coal dust suspension via intratracheal instillation; the controls received saline. Lung tissues were harvested after two months for histopathology [HE, Masson, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) ], protein and mRNA analysis, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) quantification by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). (2) In vitro: rat lung type II epithelial cells (RLE-6TN) cells were exposed to coal dust (50, 100, 200, and 400 mg·L⁻¹, 24 h). CCK-8 assay determined optimal doses. Ultrastructural changes were analyzed by TEM. Cells were transfected with OE-PGC-1α (PGC-1α overexpression) or shRNA-PGC-1α plasmids (PGC-1α knockdown), and the transfection efficiency was determined by reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The expression levels of alpah-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), citrate synthase (CS), PGC-1α, NRF1, TFAM, and fibronectin (Fn) proteins and their corresponding mRNA were detected using Western blot and RT-qPCR, respectively. The relative content of mtDNA was determined by qPCR. Results In vivo: the control group lung samples exhibited soft, pink parenchyma, while the coal dust-exposed lungs showed blackened surfaces with soft texture. The histopathological evaluation revealed intact alveolar walls in the controls versus structural destruction, micro-nodules, and fibrotic areas in the coal dust group. After Masson staining, coal dust deposits were found surrounded by blue collagen fibers in the exposed lungs, but absent in the controls. The coal dust group displayed significant upregulation of fibrotic marker α-SMA and downregulation of mitochondrial biogenesis markers (CS, PGC-1α, NRF1, TFAM) and mtDNA compared to the controls (P<0.05). In vitro: coal dust exposure reduced cell density and induced morphological alterations. TEM revealed evenly distributed normal mitochondria in controls versus mitochondrial swelling, disrupted cristae, and reduced numbers in exposed cells. The mitochondrial biogenesis markers were elevated in the coal dust + OE-PGC-1α group compared to the coal dust + OE-NC group (P<0.05); in contrast, they were decreased in the coal dust + shRNA-PGC-1α group compared to the coal dust + shRNA-NC group (P<0.05). Compared to the control group, the expression levels of the fibrosis marker α-SMA mRNA and protein were increased in the coal dust group (P<0.05). Overexpression of PGC-1α reduced α-SMA expression, while downregulation of PGC-1α increased its expression (P<0.05). Conclusion Coal dust exposure induces mitochondrial dysfunction and pulmonary fibrosis in vivo and in vitro via the PGC-1α-NRF1-TFAM pathway dysregulation. Targeting this pathway may mitigate coal dust-induced fibrosis by restoring mitochondrial biogenesis.

Objective:To investigate the expression of placenta expressed transcript 1(Plet1)in ovarian tissue of the letrozole-induced model rats of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)and its effect on the proliferation of rat ovarian granulosa cells,and to clarify the possible mechanism by which Plet1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of PCOS.Methods:The ovarian tissue samples from the rats collected in previous studies were used and divided into control and PCOS groups.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and Western blotting methods were used to detect the expression levels of Plet1 mRNA and protein in ovarian tissue of the rat in two groups.Additionally,twenty-four rats underwent vaginal smear cytology were divided into four groups by estrous cycle phase:proestrus,estrus,metestrus and diestrus.RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression level of Plet1 mRNA in ovarian tissue of the rats in various groups,and immunohistochemistry(IHC)method was used to detect the location of Plet1 expression in the rat ovarian tissue in various groups.The rat ovarian granulosa cells were transfected and divided into control group,si-Plet1-rat-266 group,si-Plet1-rat-383 group,and si-Plet1-rat-554 group.Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)method was used to assess the cell proliferation activities of rat ovarian granulosa cells in various groups,and RT-qPCR method was used to detect the expression levels of cyclin-d epend ent kinase 6(CDK6)and P53 mRNA in rat ovarian granulosa cells in various groups.Results:The RT-qPCR results revealed that Plet1 mRNA was expressed in the ovaries of normal rats,while no statistically significant difference was observed across estrous cycle phases(P＞0.05).The immunohistochemistry results showed that the expression of Plet1 protein was mainly localized in ovarian granulosa cells and luteal cells in the rat ovarian tissue.Compared with control group,the expression levels of Plet1 mRNA and protein in ovarian tissue of the rats in PCOS group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The RT-qPCR results showed that compared with control group,the expression level of Plet1 mRNA in ovarian granulosa cells in si-Plet1-rat-383 group was decreased(P＜0.01),exhibiting the most pronounced reduction.Compared with control group,the proliferation activity of rat ovarian granulosa cells in si-Plet1-rat-383 group was decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with control group,the expression levels of CDK6 and P53 mRNA in rat ovarian granulosa cells in si-Plet1-rat-383 group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion:Plet1 protein is predominantly expressed and localized in granulosa cells and luteal cells in normal rat ovarian tissue.Its expression is downregulated in the ovarian tissue of PCOS model rats,and interference with Plet1 gene expression may inhibit the proliferation of rat ovarian granulosa cells.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL).Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. Clinical data of patients diagnosed with T-LBL at the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2013 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and their clinical characteristics and prognosis were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 22 T-LBL patients were included. Among them, there were 19 males (86.4%) and 3 females (13.6%), and the median age at onset was 19.5 (15, 28) years old. Based on Ann Arbor staging, 3 cases (13.6%) were classified as stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, while 19 cases (86.4%) were stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ; 10 cases (45.5%) presented with B symptoms, 12 cases (54.5%) without B symptoms; 16 cases (72.7%) showed elevated lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level. At onset, 7 patients (31.8%) had mediastinal masses, 3 patients (13.6%) had central nervous system involvement, and 17 patients (77.3%) had bone marrow involvement. The overall response rate (ORR) and complete remission rate among the 22 patients were 81.82% (18/22) and 31.82% (7/22), respectively. The ORR was 84.21% (16/19) in 19 patients treated with ALL-like regimens. Among 3 patients treated with NHL-like regimens, 1 case achieved complete remission and 1 case achieved partial remission. Seven patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with a median overall survival (OS) time of 22 months; the median OS time of patients without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was 14 months. The 3-year OS rates in the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation group and group without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were 64.30% and 16.00%, and the difference in OS between the two groups was statistically significant ( P = 0.043). Two patients with disease progression prior to transplantation died of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections after transplantation. Conclusions:T-LBL is rare, and it is a highly aggressive tumor that predominantly occurs in adolescent males. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can prolong OS, reduce relapse and improve the prognosis of patients.
