Triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) are widely used synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agents that can enter the human body through the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and other pathways. More and more studies have found that exposure to TCS and TCC can affect human health, but currently, review reports on the health effects of human exposure to TCS and TCC are limited. Therefore, this study reviewed population studies on the relationship between TCS and TCC exposure and health effects by searching the PubMed database, summarized the associated health outcomes, and elucidated the biological mechanisms. A total of 56 studies were retrieved, among which cross-sectional studies (25 studies, 44.64%) and cohort studies (25 studies, 44.64%) accounted for a relatively large proportion, while case-control studies (6 studies, 10.72%) were relatively few. Studies on TCS exposure (48 studies, 85.71%) were far more prevalent than those on TCC exposure (2 studies, 3.57%). The remaining 6 studies involved both TCS and TCC exposure. The research results revealed that TCS exposure was associated with male and female abnormal reproductive functions, fetal growth restriction, abnormal behavior development in children, obesity, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and immune-related diseases. Although the results of different studies show significant differences, they have indicated that exposure to TCS is a potential risk factor for these health problems. Due to the limited number of studies, the evidence for the relationship between TCC exposure and most of the aforementioned health effects is insufficient. Population studies and in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that exposure to TCS and TCC can interfere with the microbial homeostasis, the endocrine system, oxidative stress and immune function of the body, which are potential mechanisms causing adverse health effects. In the future, large-scale prospective cohort studies, as well as in vivo and in vitro studies, are still needed to further clarify the associations between TCS and TCC exposure and health effects, and to deeply explore its mechanism of action. These efforts will provide references for clarifying the human health hazards of TCS and TCC exposure and formulating targeted prevention and control strategies.

A 51-year-old male presented with nasal obstruction, followed by progressive hearing loss and blurred vision. Imaging identified space-occupying lesions in the paranasal sinuses, orbits, and paraspinal regions, while laboratory tests confirmed positive anti-proteinase 3 anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(PR3- ANCA) immunoglobulin G (IgG)and markedly elevated serum IgG4. Despite treatment with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and radiotherapy, the patient exhibited steroid dependency with relentless disease progression. Following multidisciplinary consultation, a diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) coexisting with ANCA- associated vasculitis (AAV) was favored, though IgG4-related disease remained a critical differential. Ultimately, profound immunosuppression precipitated a severe herpesvirus infection, leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. This case underscores the rarity and diagnostic complexity of concurrent IMT and AAV, highlights the therapeutic dilemma of balancing primary disease control against fatal opportunistic infections, and emphasizes the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases.

BackgroundBoth modified Suanzaoren Decoction and estazolam serve as effective treatments for chronic insomnia disorder （CID）. Default mode network （DMN） dysfunction is recognized as the primary pathophysiological mechanism underlying CID. However， it remains unclear whether the two treatments exert their therapeutic effects via convergent modulation of DMN functional connectivity. ObjectiveTo investigate the convergent remodeling characteristics of bidirectional effective connectivity （EC） of core DMN nodes with both the intra-network and the remaining whole-brain regions in CID patients with Yin-deficiency and fire-hyperactivity syndrome following the treatment with modified Suanzaoren Decoction or estazolam， so as to provide neuroimaging evidence for the convergent neural mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of both therapies in treating CID. MethodsEighty-two patients diagnosed with CID according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorder， third edition （ICSD-3） were consecutively recruited from the outpatient clinic of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Mental Health Center from October 2020 to September 2023. Based on treatment preference， patients were assigned to receive a 6-week intervention in either the modified Suanzaoren Decoction group （n=52） or the estazolam group （n=30）. Ultimately， 66 patients completed follow-up assessments （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group， n=41； estazolam group， n=25）. All CID patients underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning before and after treatment. Core DMN nodes including medial prefrontal cortex （mPFC）， bilateral inferior parietal lobule （IPL）， and precuneus （PCUN） were selected as seed regions. Granger causality analysis （GCA） was employed to assess bidirectional EC between the seed regions and both the other intra-DMN nodes and the remaining whole-brain regions. Hepatic and renal function indices were detected pre- and post-treatment to evaluate the safety profiles of both treatments. ResultsAt baseline， significant between-group differences were identified in EC from the left IPL to the left middle fronto-orbital gyrus/gyrus rectus （t=5.24， Z=4.84， voxel-level P<0.001， cluster-level P<0.05， GRF-corrected）， with the modified Suanzaoren Decoction group exhibiting stronger EC than the estazolam group. No significant between-group differences were observed in EC between other core DMN nodes and remaining whole-brain regions （P>0.05）. Within-group pre- to post-treatment comparisons demonstrated consistent connectivity alterations in both groups. Specifically， EC from the left IPL to the supplementary motor area （SMA） decreased after treatment （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=-6.28， Z=5.208； estazolam group： t=-5.58， Z=4.425）. Conversely， EC from the SMA to the left IPL increased （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=5.89， Z=4.968； estazolam group： t=6.15， Z=4.720）. Furthermore， both groups demonstrated reduced EC from the PCUN to the left IPL （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=-5.85， Z=4.94； estazolam group： t=-5.75， Z=4.515）， and elevated EC from the left IPL to the PCUN （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=5.29， Z=4.579； estazolam group： t=4.55， Z=3.826） （voxel-level P<0.001， cluster-level P<0.05， GRF-corrected）. No significant pre- to post-treatment differences were observed in hepatic or renal function indices in either group （P>0.05）. ConclusionIn CID patients with Yin-deficiency and fire-hyperactivity syndrome， both modified Suanzaoren Decoction and estazolam induce convergent bidirectional remodeling of EC between the left IPL and the SMA and the PCUN. ［Funded by Natural Science Fund Project of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region （number， 2019MS08099）； ClinicalTrials.gov number， NCT06452953］

Objectives:To evaluate the imaging effects of the novel sympathetic nerve imaging agent 18F-FPMBBG in healthy volunteers and heart failure patients.Methods:Four healthy volunteers and four heart failure patients were selected to undergo 18F-FPMBBG positron emission tomography/computed tomography(PET/CT)dynamic imaging,the radioactivity distribution characteristics of 18F-FPMBBG in the heart and adjacent organs of the two groups were observed,and the uptake of 18F-FPMBBG by the left ventricular myocardium was compared in the two groups.Results:No adverse effects were observed in all subjects after intravenous injection of 18F-FPMBBG.In healthy volunteers,the heart uptake was rapid and stable,lung uptake was very low,and the blood pool and liver clearance were fast.The heart/liver uptake ratios at 30,60,and 90 minutes after injection were 2.33±0.81,3.29±0.90 and 3.80±1.07,respectively.The average standard uptake value(SUVmean)of 18F-FPMBBG in the heart failure group was significantly lower than that in the healthy volunteer group(P=0.003).The washout rate(WR)was significantly higher in the heart failure group([16.53±2.76]%vs.[3.88±4.51]%,P=0.003).Conclusions:18F-FPMBBG showed good imaging and diagnostic effects in the preliminary imaging of healthy subjects and heart failure patients,and it has the potential to become an ideal cardiac sympathetic nerve imaging agent.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness,safety and economy of generic venlafaxine sustained-release capsules and the original drug in clinical practice based on real world clinical data.Methods This is a multicenter,retrospective real-world study.The information of outpatients who used venlafaxine sustained-release capsules in 7 hospitals from October 2021 to October 2022 was collected,including prescription data and laboratory data.They were divided into generic drug group and original drug group.After the baseline level was corrected by propensity score match method,the prescription daily dose,plasma concentration,medication possession ratio,the continuous medication rate for 3,6 and 9 months,dressing change rate,the incidence of adverse reactions,the frequency of drug use,the average daily cost,the annual cost per capita and the proportion of the average annual cost of drugs were compared between the two groups.Results After the baseline level was corrected by propensity score matching method,the prescription daily dose and medication possession ratio(MPR≥0.8)in the generic drug group were higher than that of the original drug group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically difference in plasma concentration between the two groups(P=0.294).The continuous medication rate for 3,6 and 9 months in the generic drug group were statistically higher than those in the original drug group(P＜0.01).The single dressing change rate of the generic drug group was lower than that of the original drug group(P=0.032).There was no significant difference in the rate of secondary dressing change between the two groups(P=1.000).There were no significant differences in the incidence of abnormal ALT,AST,TC,Na,APTT,and PLC between two groups(P＞0.05).The average daily cost of the generic drug group was lower than that of the original drug group.The per capita annual cost of drugs and the proportion of average annual cost of drugs in the generic drug group were significantly lower than those in the original drug group(P＜0.01).Conclusion In the actual clinical diagnosis and treatment,no clinically significant differences in effectiveness and safety were found between the generic venlafaxine sustained-release capsule and the original-patented,while the economic advantages of the generic drug were better than that of the original-patented drug.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum levels of Ninjurin 1(NINJ1),cystatin C(CysC),and D-dimer(D-D)for unfavorable outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods:A total of 118 AMI patients hospitalized in the Chinese PLA Joint Logistic Support Force 901st Hospital between Feb-ruary 2020 and March 2023 were enrolled.According to prognosis within 6 months after treatment,patients were divided into favorable outcome group and unfavorable outcome group.Serum levels of CysC,D-D and NINJ1 were measured upon admission.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors influencing unfavorable outcome in AMI patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to analyze the pre-dictive value of serum NINJ1,CysC and D-D for the prognosis of AMI patients.A nomogram model for predicting unfavorable outcome in AMI patients was constructed and verified.Results:Compared to patients with favorable outcomes,those with unfavorable outcomes had significantly higher proportions of hypertension,diabetes,number of diseased coronary arteries ≥2,and serum levels of NINJ1,CysC and D-D,as well as a significantly lower pro-portion of Killip class Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P＜0.01 all).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that number of diseased coronary arteries ≥2(OR=3.817,95％CI 1.140～12.779,P=0.030),Killip class Ⅲ-Ⅳ(OR=5.639,95％CI 1.706～18.637,P=0.005),hypertension(OR=4.188,95％CI 1.392～12.600,P=0.011),diabetes(OR=3.480,95％CI 1.148～10.552,P=0.028),and serum levels of NINJ1(OR=1.055,95％CI 1.009～1.103,P=0.018),CysC(OR=75.232,95％CI 5.537～545.908,P=0.003),and D-D(OR=56.163,95％CI 1.610～958.586,P=0.026)were significantly associated with unfavorable outcomes at 6 months in AMI patients.ROC a-nalysis showed that the AUC of serum NINJ1,CysC and D-D combined predicting unfavorable outcomes was 0.801(95％CI 0.718～0.869),which was significantly higher than those of serum NINJ1(0.675,95％CI 0.582～0.758)and D-D(0.676,95％CI 0.583～0.759)alone(Z=2.344,P=0.019;Z=2.173,P=0.030,),but the difference was not significant comparing to CysC alone(Z=1.856,P=0.064).The C-index of the nomogram model predic-ting unfavorable outcomes was 0.973(95％CI 0.967～0.986),and the predicted values of calibration curve were consistent with the actual values,indicating good prediction accuracy.Conclusion:Elevated serum levels of NINJ1,CysC and D-D in AMI patients were significantly associated with unfavorable outcomes.Combined detection of these indicators may accurately predict unfavorable outcomes compared to single detection,and the constructed no-mogram model exhibits good prediction efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of overweight and obesity among Chinese children aged 3-18 years from 11 provinces, antonomous regions, or municipalities.Methods:This national cross-sectional community health survey utilized a multistage stratified cluster-random sampling method to recruit 193 997 nationally representative participants from 11 provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities between January 2017 and December 2019. All participants underwent physical examinations, and their caregivers completed questionnaires assessing participants′ dietary, lifestyle, familial, and perinatal information. Multilevel multinomial logistic regression models were employed to identify the potential risk factors.Results:The cohort comprised 193 997 children (102 178 boys, 91 819 girls),aged (10±4) years. Overall prevalence rates were 30 574(15.8%)overweight children and 17 217(8.9%) obesity children. Boys exhibited higher overweight and obesity rates than girls (17.0% (17 368/102 178) vs. 14.4% (13 206/102 178), 11.3% (11 553/91 819) vs. 6.2% (5 664/91 819), χ2=249.12,1 578.69,both P<0.001). The detection rates of obesity in Tanner stage 2 and 3 were the highest in boys and girls, with 13.4%(2 231/16 665) and 8.6%(880/10 221) respectively. Risk factors for obesity included parental overweight (paternal OR=2.34 and maternal OR=2.29), annual household income of 100 000-200 000 yuan (compared with<100 000 yuan, OR=1.04), higher paternal education (compared with below high school,high school and a college education OR=1.09,1.14), birth weight >4.0 kg (≤5 and>5 years old OR=1.74, 1.44,respectively), and western food consumption≥1 time/month (compared with<1, 1-2, 3-4,>4 times/month OR=1.36, 1.30, 1.67(≤5 years), 1.19, 1.16, 1.15 (>5 years), respectively) (all P<0.05). Conversely, coarse grain intake≥1 times/week (compared with<1 times/week, every day, 3-4, 1-2 times/week OR=0.74, 0.80, 0.71 (≤5 years), 0.75, 0.87, 0.90(>5 years), respectively, all P<0.05) was associated with reduced obesity risk. Conclusions:Obesity epidemiology in children demonstrates significant heterogeneity across age, gender, geographic regions, and pubertal stages. It is necessary to establish a personalized prevention and control strategy.

Objective To evaluate the prognosis and safety of patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)who received I-125 seed implantation in treatment with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody+chemotherapy.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with stage Ⅳ metastatic PDAC who received anti-PD-1 combined chemotherapy treatment at Yixing Hospital,Jiangsu University from Jan 2021 to Jun 2023.Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they received I-125 seed implantation:the I-125 seed implantation+anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody+Chemotherapy group(IPC group)and the anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody+chemotherapy group(PC group).The follow-up period ranged from 2 to 24 months,with a median follow-up time of 9 months.The prognosis of patients was analysed in combination with peripheral blood biomarkers.The peripheral lymphocyte subsets of patients in different treatment groups were preliminarily analysed by flow cytometry.Results A total of 13 patients were included,with 5 in the IPC group and 8 in the PC group.Progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)in the IPC group were significantly longer than those in the PC group.The treatment in the IPC group was relatively safe,adverse reactions were controllable.The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and CD4/CD8 ratio indicated that the prognosis of the IPC patients was better.The levels of regulatory T cells(Treg)and active regulatory T cells(aTreg)cells in the IPC patients were reduced after treatment compared with those of the PC patients.Conclusion The addition of I-125 seed implantation can improve the prognosis of patients with advanced PDAC who receive anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody+chemotherapy,the post-treatment levels of patients'circulating aTreg cells are reduced,and the combination therapy has good safety.
