BACKGROUND:Transcranial magneto-acoustic-electrical stimulation is a novel non-invasive neural regulation technique that utilizes the induced electric field generated by the coupling effect of ultrasound and static magnetic field to regulate the discharge activity of the nervous system.However,the mechanism by which it affects synaptic plasticity in the brain is still not enough. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of transcranial magneto-acoustic-electrical stimulation intensity on synaptic plasticity of the prefrontal cortex neural network in mice. METHODS:(1)Animal experiment:Twenty-four C57 mice were equally and randomly divided into four groups:the control group receiving pseudo-stimulation,the 6.35 W/cm2 stimulation group receiving coupled stimulation of 0.3 T,6.35 W/cm2,the 17.36 W/cm2 stimulation group receiving coupled stimulation of 0.3 T,17.36 W/cm2,and the 56.25 W/cm2 stimulation group receiving coupled stimulation of 0.3 T,56.25 W/cm2.The local field potential signals and behavioral correctness were recorded during the execution of T-maze in mice.(2)Modeling and simulation experiments:A neural network model of the prefrontal cortex in mice stimulated by transcranial magneto-acoustic-electrical stimulation was constructed to compare the structural connectivity characteristics of the neural network under different stimulation intensities. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Transcranial magneto-acoustic-electrical stimulation could effectively shorten the behavior learning time,improve the working memory ability of mice(P＜0.05),and continue to stimulate the frontal lobe of mice after learning behavior.There was no significant difference in the accuracy of the T-maze behavioral experiment among the experimental groups(P＞0.1).Analysis of local field potential signals in the frontal lobe of mice revealed that transcranial magneto-acoustic-electrical stimulation promoted energy enhancement of β and γ rhythms.As the stimulation intensity increased,there was an asynchronous decrease in β and γ rhythms.Through β-γ phase amplitude coupling,it was found that stimuli could enhance the neural network's ability to adapt to new information and task requirements.Modeling and simulation experiments found that stimulation could enhance the discharge level of the neural network,increase the long-term synaptic weight level,and decrease the short-term synaptic weight level only when the stimulation intensity was high.To conclude,there is a complex nonlinear relationship between different stimulus intensities and the functional structure of neural networks.This neural regulation technique may provide new possibilities for the treatment of related neurological diseases such as synaptic dysfunction and neural network abnormalities.

Lung cancer is the leading type of cancer death, and most patients with lung cancer are diagnosed at an advanced stage and have a very poor prognosis. Although low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has entered the clinic as a screening tool for lung cancer, its false-positive rate is more than 90%. As one of the epigenetic modifications of research hotspots, DNA methylation plays a key role in a variety of diseases, including cancer.Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes and hypomethylation of proto-oncogenes are important events in tumorigenesis and development. Therefore, DNA methylation analysis can provide some useful information for the early screening, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of lung cancer. Although invasive methods such as tissue biopsy remain the gold standard for tumor diagnosis and monitoring, they also have limitations such as inconvenience in sampling. In recent years, there has been a rapid development of liquid biopsy, which can detect primary or metastatic malignancies and reflect the heterogeneity of tumors. In addition, the blood sample can be collected in a minimally invasive or non-invasive format and is well tolerated in older and frail patients. This article explores some of the emerging technologies for DNA methylation analysis and provides an overview of the application of DNA methylation in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

We studied the patients diagnosed with X-linked hypophosphatemicrickets(XLH) and treated with burosumab in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022. In addition, we described the clinical characteristics of the patients, the changes of clinical indexes before and after burosumab treatment, and the adverse drug reactions during treatment. We also evaluated the efficacy and safety of burosumab for XLH. The results showed that three children XLH patients and one adult XLH patients received burosumab treatment. After treatment, the serum phosphorus level of all patients increased; the serum phosphorus of 3 children patients increased above the lower limit of the reference value range; the serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP) of all patients was lower than that of before treatment; the serum ALP of one adult patient was close to the normal range after 2.5 years of treatment. One child patient showed small crystals in kidney through ultrasound 48 weeks after treatment; one child and one adult showed increased serum parathyroid hormone(PTH)level before treatment and serum PTH continued increasing after treatment. Finally, it may be concluded that burosumab increased serum phosphorus levels in XLH patients, kept the level relatively stable, and reduced serum ALP levels. No serious adverse reactions occurred during treatment, in order to provide reference for the use of burosumab in patients with XLH.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of ligustilide on chemotherapy resistance of cervical cancer cells based on Hippo-Yes-associated protein （YAP） signaling pathway. METHODS Human cervical cancer cisplatin-resistant cells HeLa/DDP were divided into control group， cisplatin group （10 μmol/L cisplatin）， cisplatin+ligustilide low-， medium- and high-concentration groups （10 μmol/L cisplatin+25， 50， 100 μmol/L ligustilide）. The proliferation， apoptosis， migration and invasion of HeLa/DDP cells were all detected in each group. The mRNA expressions of YAP and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ binding motif （TAZ） as well as the protein expressions of YAP， TAZ， matrix metalloproteinase 2 （MMP2）， Ki67， cleaved-caspase-3 and caspase-3 were determined in HeLa/DDP cells. RESULTS Compared with control group， the inhibitory rate， apoptotic rate and cleaved- caspase-3/caspase-3 of cisplatin group were increased significantly； scratch healing rate， the number of invasive cells， the mRNA expressions of YAP and TAZ， and the protein expressions of YAP， TAZ， MMP2 and Ki67 were decreased significantly in cisplatin group （P＜0.05）. Compared with cisplatin group， the inhibitory rate of cell proliferation， apoptotic rate and cleaved-caspase-3/ caspase-3 were further increased in cisplatin+ligustilide low-， medium- and high-concentration groups， while scratch healing rate， the number of invasive cells， the mRNA expressions of YAP and TAZ， and the protein expressions of YAP， TAZ， MMP2 and Ki67 were further decreased， in a dose-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Ligustilide can increase the sensitivity of drug-resistant cervical cancer cells to cisplatin by inhibiting Hippo-YAP signaling pathway.

Objective This study aims to sort out the rare disease drugs in the China's Second List of Rare Diseases,to provide reference for the management of rare disease drug treatment.Methods Up to December 31,2023,based on the China's Second List of Rare Diseases,we sorted out the drugs approved in China with the drug label,or approved by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration(FDA)and the European Medicines Agency(EMA)for the treatment of the above diseases,and developed the second batch of rare dis-ease drug catalog in China.The accessibility,localization and coverage of the national medical insurance were also analyzed.Results From the point of view of diseases,a total of 37 diseases in the China's Second List of Rare Diseases have drug indications approved in China,and 10 diseases have drugs listed by the U.S.FDA/EMA and approved in China,but for off-label use.From the point of view of drugs,there are 55 drug indications ap-proved for the treatment of the China's Second List of Rare Diseases,and 22 drugs listed in the U.S.FDA/EMA and approved in the China,but for off-label use.Among the above-mentioned drugs with domestic approved rare disease indications or approved numbers,39 drugs have at least one domestic approval number for a dosage form,covering 30 rare diseases;37 drugs used for at least one rare disease are included in the national medical insur-ance catalog and are covered by reimbursement,covering 29 rare diseases.Conclusions The list of rare disease drugs in the China's Second List of Rare Diseases was established.The number of rare disease drugs and covered diseases approved by China and the U.S.FDA/EMA has increased,and the number of rare disease drugs and covered diseases that are localized and included in the medical insurance catalog has also continued to increase.

Objective To summarize and analyze what the listing in market of orphan drugs in China,the United States,the European Union,and Japan in 2023,and to provide empirical reference to Chinese phar-maceutical enterprises,pharmaceutical management,and new drug research and development departments.Methods Collect the 2023 drug market data released by official drug regulatory agencies in four countries and international organization-China,the United States,the European Union,and Japan categorize the market of rare disease drugs and and their indications,approval dates,R&D status in China,component therapeutic are-as,and special review and approval pathways were analyzed.Results Findings in 2023,28 orphan drugs were listed in the United States,mostly anti-tumor related,accounting for 32.1％(9 out of 28);17 orphan drugs were listed in the European Union,anti-tumor related accounting for 47.0％(8 of 17);22 listed in Japan;and 45 listed in China.In 2023,over 70％orphan drugs listed in the European Union and Japan entered the phase of clinical trials/marketing and applications/approved clinical applications in China(86.4％from Japan and 70.6％from European Union).Conclusions Currently,there is no qualification accreditation mechanism for orphan drugs in China.However,in 2023,the number of rare disease drugs listed in China was the greatest among the four countries/international organization.It reflects that China's Catalog for Rare Diseases played a guiding role in drug research and development.Meanwhile,the reform of drug approval and review in China and the issue of rare disease catalogs took place in a short period of time,so the review and approval,as well as re-search and development of rare disease drugs are still in the catching up stage.
