OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for individualized treatment and pharmaceutical care for patients with breast cancer complicated with chronic kidney disease （CKD）. METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the anti-tumor treatment and pharmaceutical care for a breast cancer patient with CKD. Clinical pharmacists reviewed guidelines and literature to assist the clinical physician in formulating the initial neoadjuvant treatment plan （docetaxel+trastuzumab+paltuzumab） and provided monitoring recommendations for potential adverse drug reactions， such as vomiting， myelosuppression， renal impairment， cardiotoxicity. In response to the patient’s acute kidney injury after treatment， clinical pharmacists assisted the physician in analyzing the cause of the adverse reaction through causality assessment. Taking into account the patient’s preferences， docetaxel was substituted with paclitaxel （which did not require dose adjustment based on renal function）. The clinical pharmacists collaborated with the physician to establish a postoperative targeted therapy regimen （trastuzumab+pertuzumab）. Taking into account the patient’s positive estrogen receptor status， the clinical pharmacists recommended to initiate regular anastrozole administration after the completion of radiotherapy and undergo periodic bone density assessments. RESULTS The clinical physician accepted the suggestions from the clinical pharmacists. The patient successfully completed preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy and postoperative targeted therapy， and was discharged with medication （anastrozole）. During the treatment process， the patient did not experience adverse reactions such as myelosuppression， cardiotoxicity， or the occurrence of osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists analyzed and adjusted the preoperative and postoperative antitumor treatment plans based on the patient’s renal function. They promptly assessed the correlation between antitumor drugs and acute kidney injury， and actively implemented comprehensive pharmaceutical care to ensure medication safety for breast cancer patients with CKD.

[Objective] To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) complicated with underactive bladder (UAB) who respond poorly to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed on 10 patients with BPH and UAB treated with TURP by the same surgeon in Zhongda Hospital Southeast University during Jan.2018 and Jan.2023.The residual urine volume was not significantly relieved after operation, and the maximum urine flow rate and urine volume per discharge were not significantly improved.All patients underwent phase I SNM, and urinary diaries were recorded before and after surgery to observe the average daily frequency of urination, volume per urination, maximum urine flow rate, and residual urine volume. [Results] The operation time was (97.6±11.2) min.During the postoperative test of 2-4 weeks, if the residual urine volume reduction by more than 50% was deemed as effective, SNM was effective in 6 patients (60.0%). Compared with preoperative results, the daily frequency of urination [(20.2±3.8) times vs. (13.2±3.2) times], volume per urination [(119.2±56.7) mL vs. (246.5±59.2) mL], maximum urine flow rate [(8.7±1.5) mL/s vs. (16.5±2.6) mL/s], and residual urine volume [(222.5±55.0) mL vs. (80.8±16.0) mL] were significantly improved, with statistical significance (P<0.05). There were no complications such as bleeding, infection, fever or pain.The 6 patients who had effective outcomes successfully completed phase II surgery, and the fistula was removed.During the follow-up of 1 year, the curative effect was stable, and there were no complications such as electrode displacement, incision infection, or pain in the irritation sites.The residual urine volume of the other 4 unsuccessful patients did not improve significantly, and the electrodes were removed and the vesicostomy tube was retained. [Conclusion] SNM is safe and effective in the treatment of BPH with UAB patients with poor curative effects after TURP.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of clopidogrel on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ciprofol in rats. METHODS Eighteen male SD rats were randomly divided into control group， clopidogrel normal-dose group and clopidogrel high-dose group， with 6 rats in each group. Among them， rats in the normal-dose group and high-dose group were given 7.5 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg clopidogrel by gavage， respectively， and rats in the control group were given the same volume of 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution， once a day， for 14 consecutive days. Afterward， 2.4 mg/kg ciprofol was injected by tailvein and blood samples were collected from the inner canthus of the eye at 2， 4， 8， 12， 16， 20， 30， 45 and 60 min after the end of the administration. During this period， the duration of the loss of righting reflex （LORR） in rats was counted. After the proteins were precipitated by acetonitrile， the rat plasma sample was analyzed by LC-MS/MS using deuterated ciprofol as the internal standard， Symmetry C18 as the chromatographic column， and acetonitrile-0.01% ammonia solution containing 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate （gradient elution） as the mobile phase to detect the concentration of ciprofol in the plasma. The pharmacokinetic parameters in rats were calculated by using DAS 2.0 software. RESULTS Compared with control group， area under the drug concentration-time curve and mean residence time of ciprofol increased or prolonged significantly， while plasma clearance decreased significantly in clopidogrel normal-dose and high-dose groups； the duration of LORR in rats was prolonged by 19.5% and 23.9%， with statistical difference （P＜0.05）. However， there was no statistically significant difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters or LORR duration of ciprofol between the different dose groups of clopidogrel （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Clopidogrel could inhibit the metabolism of ciprofol in rats and prolong the duration of LORR.

Cardio-cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases are diseases of high-incidence diseases among middle-aged and elderly people,with high disability and mortality rates,which se-riously threaten human health.PK2 is a newly discovered secre-ted protein that plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes by binding to its receptor PKR1 or 2.Numerous studies related to PK2/PKRs have shown that this sig-naling pathway also plays a very important role in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular,cerebrovascular and neuro-degenerative diseases,and through exploring the connection be-tween them,PK2/PKRs may become a new target for the clini-cal treatment of these diseases.

Aim To explore the mechanism and mate-rial basis of Shenkang injection(SKI)in the treatment of renal fibrosis(RF)by bioinformatics and in vitro experiments.Methods The differentially expressed genes of RF were screened by GEO database.With the help of CMAP database,based on the similarity princi-ple of gene expression profile,the drugs that regulated RF were repositioned,and then the components of SKI potential treatment RF were screened by molecular fin-gerprint similarity analysis.At the same time,the core targets and pathways of SKI regulating RF were predic-ted based on network pharmacology.Finally,it was verified by molecular docking and cell experiments.Results Based on the GEO database,two RF-related data sets were screened,and CMAP was relocated to three common RF therapeutic drugs(saracatinib,da-satinib,pp-2).Molecular fingerprint similarity analysis showed that RF therapeutic drugs had high structural similarity with five SKI components such as salvianolic acid B and hydroxysafflor yellow A.Molecular docking results showed that salvianolic acid B,hydroxysafflor yellow A and other components had good binding abili-ty with MMP1 and MMP13,which were the core targets of SKI-regulated potential treatment of RF.Network pharmacology analysis suggested that the core targets of SKI were mainly enriched in signaling pathways such as Relaxin and AGE-RAGE.Cell experiments showed that SKI could significantly reduce the mRNA expres-sion levels of AGER,NFKB1,COL1A1,SERPINE1,VEGFC in AGE-RAGE signaling pathway and MMP1 and MMP13 in Relaxin signaling pathway in RF model cells,and significantly increase the mRNA expression level of RXFP1.Conclusions SKI can play a role in the treatment of RF by regulating Relaxin and AGE-RAGE signaling pathways,and its material basis may be salvianolic acid B,hydroxysafflor yellow A and other components.

In mass spectrometry-based proteomics experiments,achieving high-throughput and efficientproteolytic digestion is crucial to ensure optimal protein cleavage and enhance the depth of protein identi-fication (including the number of identified proteins and the coverage of protein amino acid sequences) .Trypsin is the most widely used protease in mass spectrometry-based proteomics due to its ability to spe-cifically cleave the carboxyl terminus of arginine and lysine.However,it was found that Trypsin has some missed enzymatic efficiency for the cleavage of lysine residues.Therefore,in actual proteomics sample preparation,a combination of Trypsin and LysC will be used to ensure adequate cleavage of lysine resi-dues.Our study revealed that the commonly employed LysC-Trypsin tandem cleavage method exerts an impact on the enzymatic cleavage of protein samples by Trypsin due to the subsequent cleavage of Trypsin by initially added LysC.Consequently,we adjusted the order of LysC and Trypsin tandem digestion,with Trypsin cleavage being performed first followed by the addition of LysC to target any missed lysine resi-dues.We comprehensively compared and analyzed three distinct sequential digestion methods,namely Trypsin-Trypsin (T-T),LysC-Trypsin (L-T),and Trypsin-LysC (T-L),in terms of their effects on pro-tein sample preparation quality.The results demonstrated that the Trypsin-LysC sequential digestion ap-proach not only minimizes missed protein lysine/arginine cleavage sites without increasing experimental costs,at the same time yielding peptides with a moderate amino acid sequence length.The use of Tryp-sin-LysC digestion enhances the adsorption and separation of peptide samples in RP-HPLC,as well as improves the depth of protein detection and amino acid sequence coverage during tandem mass spectrome-try analysis.This research work offers a novel technical solution and serves as a valuable reference for proteome sample preparation.

Objective:To explore the correlation between peripheral blood B cell count and clinical features and prognosis of patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods:The relationship of peripheral blood B cell count with clinical features,laboratory indexes and prognosis in 67 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL was retrospectively analyzed.Results:Patients were divided into low B-cell count group(B cell＜0.1 × 109/L,n=34)and high B-cell count group(B cell≥0.1 × 109/L,n=33)according to the median B cell count values.Compared with the high B cell count group,the low B cell count group had a higher proportion of patients with Lugano stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ,elevated LDH,elevated β2-MG and IPI score 3-5 and increased CRP(P=0.033,0.000,0.023,0.001,0.033).The peripheral CD3+and CD4+cell counts of patients in the low B cell count group were significantly lower than those in the high B cell count group(P=0.010,0.017).After initial treatment,overall response rate(ORR)and complete remission(CR)rate in high B cell count group were significantly higher than those in low B cell count group(P=0.032,0.013).The median follow-up time of patients was 23(2-77)months,progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)of patients in the high B cell count group were significantly better than those in the low B cell count group(P=0.001,0.002).Univariate analysis showed that pretreatment low B cell count in the peripheral blood was associated with shortened PFS and OS(HR=4.108,P=0.002;HR=8.218,P=0.006).Multivariate analysis showed that low B cell count was an independent prognostic factor for shortened PFS(HR=3.116,P=0.037).Conclusion:Decreased peripheral blood B cell count in newly diagnosed DLBCL patients is associated with high-risk clinical features and may affect the efficacy of immunochemotherapy,which is associated with poor clinical prognosis.

Objective:To systematically screen and identify long noncoding RNA(lncRNA)associated with bone marrow adiposity changes in aplastic anemia(AA).Methods:The PPARγ and C/EBPα ChIP-Seq data in ChIPBase was analyzed by bioinformatics and the potential lncRNA co-transcriptionally regulated by PPARγ and C/EBPα was screened.The expression of candidate lncRNA was verified by qRT-PCR in the in vitro adipogenic differentiation model of BM-MSC,BM-MSC infected with lenti-shPPARγ and lenti-shC/EBPα as well as clinical BM-MSC samples derived from AA and controls.Results:PPARγ and C/EBPα were significantly highly expressed in AA BM-MSC,and knock-down of PPARγ and C/EBPα impaired the adipogenic capacity of AA BM-MSC.PPARγ and C/EBPα cotranscriptionally activate LINC01230 promoter activity in binding sites dependant manner.The LINC01230 was also aberrantly highly expressed in AA BM-MSC compared with controls.Conclusion:PPARγ and C/EBPα are aberrantly expressed in AA BM-MSC and may promote the adipogenic differentiation of AA BM-MSC,and to a certain extent mediate the bone marrow adiposity alteration by transcriptionally activating LINC01230 expression.
