ObjectiveTo characterize the systemically absorbed components of Zhengqi prescription （ZQP） and investigate its therapeutic effects and mechanisms against cancer-related fatigue （CRF） through an integrated approach of network pharmacology and animal experiments. MethodsThe systemically absorbed components of ZQP were identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）. Network pharmacology was employed to predict the potential targets and signaling pathways involved in the anti-CRF effects of ZQP. A mouse model of paclitaxel-induced CRF， mimicking breast cancer-related fatigue， was established. Mice were administered different doses of ZQP extract. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated based on fatigue-related indicators， behavioral test results， and energy metabolism parameters. Western blot analysis was conducted to validate the regulation of core signaling pathways. ResultsA total of 48 systemically absorbed components were identified. Network pharmacology analysis revealed 124 intersecting targets （including Akt1） and implicated signaling pathways such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase （PI3K/Akt）. Pharmacodynamic studies with the established CRF model demonstrated that ZQP alleviated fatigue symptoms. Specifically， ZQP-treated mice exhibited increased exhaustive swimming time （P<0.05）， prolonged struggling time in the tail suspension test， and enhanced movement duration and distance in the open field test （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Furthermore， ZQP treatment decreased serum lactate and blood urea nitrogen levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）， increased liver and muscle glycogen content （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and upregulated the expression of phosphorylated （p）-Akt and p-PI3K in the gastrocnemius muscle （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionZQP exerts significant therapeutic effects on paclitaxel-induced breast cancer-related fatigue by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Furthermore， this study provides a preliminary foundation for subsequent quality control of the formula and further investigation into its mechanism against CRF.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of secondary transport on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for critically ill children.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Data from 222 pediatric patients who underwent ECMO transport from May 2019 to May 2024 at 5 ECMO centers and Chinese Database of Pediatric Extracorporeal Life Support Organization were collected. The cases were divided into primary and secondary transport groups by nature of transport. The clinical data, including demographics, ECMO indications, transport distance, pre-transport lab results, prognosis and complications were analyzed. Two independent samples t-test, Wilcoxon test, and χ2 test or Fisher′s exact probability method were used to compare the differences between 2 groups and evaluate the safety and efficacy of secondary transport. Results:Among the 222 children transported with ECMO, there were 135 males and 87 females, with an age of 3.0 (0.2, 7.0) years. There were 202 cases in the primary transport group and 20 cases in the secondary transport group. All secondary transport patients had failed attempts at weaning ECMO before transfer. The patients in the secondary transport group were older, had higher rates of surgical cannulation, circulatory support, and pre-ECMO lactate levels compared to the primary transport group (7.0 (2.8, 10.0) vs. 3.0 (0.2, 6.0) years old, 55.0% (11/20) vs. 3.6% (7/202), 80.0% (16/20) vs. 41.6% (84/202), (10±4) vs. (7±6) mmol/L, Z=3.41, χ 2=66.31, 10.99, t=2.24, all P<0.05). In the secondary transport group, the vasoactive-inotropic scores of patients on circulatory support and the oxygenation index for patients requiring respiratory support were higher than those in the primary transport group (83±33 vs. 82±68, 51.0±1.8 vs. 37.4±10.2, t=2.36, 2.63, respectively; both P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in sex, transport distance, pre-ECMO creatinine, arterial blood gas BE values, and ECMO duration (all P>0.05). No life-threatening complications occurred during the transport in either group. Two patients in the secondary transport group underwent heart transplantation, and 1 patient underwent radiofrequency ablation. The overall survival rate between the 2 groups showed no statistically significant difference (45.0% (9/20) vs. 55.4% (112/202), χ2=1.15, P>0.05). Conclusions:Secondary ECMO transport for critically ill children don't increase mortality or life-threatening complications during transport. ECMO patients who cannot receive effective treatment locally can benefit from secondary transport to an advanced ECMO center provides further treatment opportunities.

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical characteristics of cardiotoxicity caused by lidocaine,and provide a reference for the safe use of drug in clinical practice.METHODS Chinese and English search terms,such as"lidocaine""cardiotoxicity",were used to search for literature related to lidocaine-induced cardiac toxicity from CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,PubMed and Embase,and conduct descriptive analysis.RESULTS A total of 31 papers were included,with 40 patients.Of the 40 patients,23 were male and 17 were female;ages ranged from 5 months to 73 years,with 4 patients≤18 years old,17 patients 19-59 years old,and 19 patients≥60 years old.The main indications for medication were surgical anesthesia(26 cases),and the main routes of administration were intravenous administration,nerve block anesthesia and local infiltration anesthesia(15,6,6 cases);the dosage of medication for 34 patients complied with the instructions;the most of cardiotoxicity occurred 1 min-1 h after medication(19 cases),and the main symptoms were bradycardia,atrial conduction slowing,atrioventricular block,sinus arrest,etc.Thirty-four patients improved after resuscitation and symptomatic treatment,and six patients died.CONCLUSIONS Lidocaine-induced cardiotoxicity can occur in all ages,mainly within 1 h after administration,and is manifested as arrhythmia,tachycardia or tachycardia,atrioventricular block,etc.,which is severe.When using it clinically,it is necessary to strengthen pharmaceutical monitoring of medication dosage,administration route,toxic reactions,etc.;when relevant symptoms appear,medication should be stopped promptly and symptomatic treatment should be carried out,to protect the safety of drug use.

Objective:To explore the association between postoperative radiotherapy for bladder cancer and the risk of second primary rectal cancer.Methods:Eligible 75 120 patients with bladder cancer from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result database (SEER) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) (1975-2017) were enrolled in this study. The second primary cancers referred to rectal cancers patients suffered after more than five years post-treatment for bladder cancer, and the cumulative incidence was estimated using Fine-Gray competing risk regression. The relative risk (RR) of rectal cancer in patients treated with or without radiotherapy (the RT group or the NRT group) was evaluated using Poisson regression.Results:Among the 75 120 patients, 70 045 (92.4%) were Caucasian, with a median age of 65.8 years (54-74 years). A total of 2 236 (3%) received postoperative radiotherapy, while 72 884 (97%) received surgery alone. The 30-year follow-up revealed a cumulative incidence of rectal cancer of 0.93% in the RT group and 0.43% in the NRT group ( P = 0.004). The competing risk regression analysis identified a significant association between radiotherapy and rectal cancer ( HR: 1.86; 95% CI 1.26-2.74, P < 0.009). Furthermore, the RR of radiotherapy-associated rectal cancer significantly increased as the diagnosis occurred earlier (1975-1985 vs. 1985-1994: RR 2.59; 95% CI 1.20-4.86, P < 0.001), and a lower age at the time of radiotherapy was associated with a higher probability of second primary tumors (≤50-year old vs. > 50 year old : RR 7.89, 95% CI 2.97-21.30, P < 0.001). As calculated using the Poisson distribution, the RR of second rectal tumors was higher in the RT group ( RR: 2.20, 95% CI 1.45-3.18, P < 0.001), even after adjusting the date of diagnosis ( RR: 1.77, 95% CI 1.17-2.57, P = 0.009). Conclusions:An increased risk of rectal cancer following bladder cancer radiotherapy necessitates aggressive follow-ups for the purpose of early detecting second primary rectal cancer associated with bladder cancer radiotherapy.

The relationship between pyroptosis and immune microenvironment and disease has received increasing attention. Pyroptosis plays a dual role in anti-tumor immunotherapy by promoting the release of inflammatory factors, forming the tumor microenvironment and suppressing tumour immunity on the one hand, and inducing the tumour inflammatory response to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells on the other hand. The relationship between pyroptosis, immune microenvironment and tumors is different in different tissues and genetic backgrounds. This article reviews the molecular mechanisms of pyroptosis and the regulatory role of tumor immune microenvironment in hematologic malignancies, with a view to providing ideas for the anti-hematologic malignancies treatment and research based on the target of pyroptosis-regulated immune microenvironment.
