Incretin-based drugs have demonstrated significant clinical value in weight management and the treatment of metabolic diseases by mimicking or enhancing endogenous incretin signaling. These agents primarily target multiple receptors including glucagon-like peptide-1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, and glucagon, exerting weight-reducing effects through multiple mechanisms such as central appetite regulation, gastrointestinal function modulation, and peripheral metabolic improvement, while further ameliorating blood glucose, blood lipids, fatty liver, and cardiorenal metabolic risks. This review focuses on incretin-based drugs, systematically summarizing the key clinical application points and relevant research progress of domestically marketed and investigational candidate drugs in the field of weight reduction. Available evidence indicates that semaglutide and tirzepatide demonstrate substantial weight reduction with multiple metabolic benefits; domestic innovative drugs represented by mazdutide and ecnoglutide also exhibit favorable weight-reducing effects and safety profiles. Regarding safety, these agents are generally well-tolerated, with the most common adverse reactions being mild-to-moderate gastrointestinal events, while potential risks including gallbladder events, pancreatitis, and mood changes require attention. In special populations, individualized assessment is warranted for use in children, elderly people, and pregnant women. Future research should focus on the screening of predictive biomarkers for efficacy, the development of long-acting oral formulations, and the accumulation of long-term safety follow-up data.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and population pharmacokinetics (PPK) technologies have demonstrated significant potential in the personalized medication of immunosuppressants after organ transplantation, enabling precise prediction of drug dosages. This article provides a comprehensive review of the application status of AI and PPK in the individualized administration of immunosuppressants after organ transplantation, focuses on monitoring blood drug concentration, predicting efficacy/adverse reactions, and establishing individualized dosing models for organ transplant recipients after immunosuppressant administration, and analyzes and compares the application characteristics of different methods in different organ transplant patients as well as the integration and future development of AI and PPK technologies. AI and PPK technologies can not only significantly reduce the dependence on human resources, but also greatly improve the level of individualized treatment of immunosuppressants after organ transplantation, and reduce the discomfort and burden caused by frequent blood concentration monitoring to patients.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a novel class of antidiabetic drugs that also possess lipid- lowering and cardiovascular protective effects, with liraglutide and semaglutide being their representative medications. Based on a systematic literature search, this review summarizes the lipid-lowering mechanisms by which liraglutide and semaglutide exert direct effects on the liver and kidney (regulating autophagy, key lipid metabolism pathways, reverse cholesterol transport, etc.), direct actions on adipose tissue (affecting adipocyte proliferation and differentiation, expression of lipid metabolism proteins, and gene transcription), activation of sympathetic pathways through the central nervous system, and modulation of the gut microbiota. Additionally, it summarizes the clinical evidence of their lipid-lowering effects in populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus, overweight individuals, and others. These findings indicate that GLP-1 receptor agonists exert lipid-lowering effects by acting on multiple tissues or systems, providing crucial evidence for further elucidating the molecular mechanisms of these drugs in lipid regulation and exploring potential new ideas for their clinical applications.

Objective To compare the effects of peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)and venous port access (VPA)on the complication incidence of breast cancer.Methods A total of 191 breast cancer patients with VPA and 218 ones with PICC for chemotherapy from January 2012 to January 2014 were involved.The two groups were compared in respect of incidence of complications during intubation.Result The complication incidence in the VPA group was lower than the PICC group(P<0.05). Conclusion VPA is an ideal pathway for intravenous infusion in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Objective To biomechanically study the fixation stability of different numbers and shapes of the titanium miniplates (L-shaped and straight four-hole miniplates) in the treatment of maxillary LeFortⅠ fracture by using three-dimensional finite element method so as to provide reference for clinical treatment of the fractures. Methods Three-dimensional finite element model of maxillary LeFortⅠ fracture was established with four kinds of rigid internal fixation (RIF) methods to calculate the stress of the maxilla and the RIF as well as the displacement of the fracture segment under three kinds of occlusion.Then, the fixation stability of different methods was compared. Results Under the same occlusion condition, the decreasing order of the displacement of the fracture segment was the L-shaped plate fixation at both buttress of the maxillary and nasal maxillary zygomatic, the straight four-hole miniplates fixation at both buttress of the maxillary and nasal maxillary zygomatic, the L-shaped plate fixation at the zygomatic maxillary buttress and the L-shaped plate fixation at naso-maxillary buttress. Under the same fixation method, the decreasing order of the displacement of the fracture segment was molar occlusion, premolar oeclusion and incisor occlusion. Conclusions The fixation stability of the L-shaped plate fixation is better than the straight four-hole miniplate fixation for the treatment of LeFortⅠ fracture. Fixation at the zygomaticmaxillary buttress is better than at the naso-maxillary buttress. Use of only two miniplates to fix the LeFort Ⅰ fracture may not be stable. Molar occlusion is not good for fracture healing.
