OBJECTIVE To conduct a rapid and comprehensive evaluation of commonly used oral dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers （DHP CCBs） in Guangxi， and provide scientific basis for clinical medication and drug selection in medical institutions. METHODS Based on the actual drug use data of public medical institutions at the second level and above in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region， and based on the national centralized collection catalog， commonly used oral DHP CCBs were selected. The Professional Committee of Evidence-based Pharmacy of the Guangxi Pharmaceutical Association organized relevant experts from multiple medical institutions in the region to conduct a quantitative scoring of the selected oral DHP CCBs from five key dimensions of pharmaceutical characteristics， effectiveness， safety， economy， and other attributes， by referring to the Quick Guideline for Drug Evaluation and Selection in Chinese Medical Institutions （the Second Edition）， combined with the latest evidence-based medical research results， and widely soliciting suggestions from clinical and pharmaceutical experts. Finally， the Guangxi Expert Consensus on Rapid Comprehensive Evaluation of Oral Dihydropyridine Calcium Channel Blockers in the Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease was formulated. RESULTS A total of 30 commonly used oral DHP CCBs were selected. Among them， Amlodipine besylate tablets （Huizhi） demonstrated superior comprehensive performance （81.79 points）， excelling particularly in pharmaceutical properties， effectiveness and other attributes. The compound scores of Amlodipine besylate tablets （Chongqing Yaoyou） and Amlodipine besylate tablets （Suzhou Dongrui） ranked second and third respectively， with scores of 81.66 and 81.60 points. CONCLUSIONS This consensus can provide guidance and decision-making support for the rational clinical application of oral DHP CCBs in Guangxi Region and the selection of drug directories in medical institutions.

Adipose tissue is a critical energy reservoir in animals and humans, with multifaceted roles in endocrine regulation, immune response, and providing mechanical protection. Based on anatomical location and functional characteristics, adipose tissue can be categorized into distinct types, including white adipose tissue (WAT), brown adipose tissue (BAT), beige adipose tissue, and pink adipose tissue. Traditionally, adipose tissue research has centered on its morphological and functional properties as a whole. However, with the advent of single-cell transcriptomics, a new level of complexity in adipose tissue has been unveiled, showing that even under identical conditions, cells of the same type may exhibit significant variation in morphology, structure, function, and gene expression——phenomena collectively referred to as cellular heterogeneity. Single-cell transcriptomics, including techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), enables in-depth analysis of the diversity and heterogeneity of adipocytes at the single-cell level. This high-resolution approach has not only deepened our understanding of adipocyte functionality but also facilitated the discovery of previously unidentified cell types and gene expression patterns that may play key roles in adipose tissue function. This review delves into the latest advances in the application of single-cell transcriptomics in elucidating the heterogeneity and diversity within adipose tissue, highlighting how these findings have redefined the understanding of cell subpopulations within different adipose depots. Moreover, the review explores how single-cell transcriptomic technologies have enabled the study of cellular communication pathways and differentiation trajectories among adipose cell subgroups. By mapping these interactions and differentiation processes, researchers gain insights into how distinct cellular subpopulations coordinate within adipose tissues, which is crucial for maintaining tissue homeostasis and function. Understanding these mechanisms is essential, as dysregulation in adipose cell interactions and differentiation underlies a range of metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes mellitus type 2. Furthermore, single-cell transcriptomics holds promising implications for identifying therapeutic targets; by pinpointing specific cell types and gene pathways involved in adipose tissue dysfunction, these technologies pave the way for developing targeted interventions aimed at modulating specific adipose subpopulations. In summary, this review provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of single-cell transcriptomic technologies in uncovering the heterogeneity and functional diversity of adipose tissues.

Celastrol is extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f..It is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine monomer with extensive pharmacological activity and has anti-tumor,anti-inflammation,anti-oxidation and neuroprotective effects.Studies have found that celastrol is not only closely related to obesity,tumor and cardiovascular diseases,but also plays a neuroprotective role in the cerebrovascular system by regulating various signaling pathways.At present,effective drugs for stroke are still limited,but with the deepening of the research on celastrol,its therapeutic potential in stroke has received more and more attention,especially in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke,which has shown good therapeutic effects.Therefore,this is the first time to systematically summarize the therapeutic effects of celastrol on stroke and the underlying mechanisms involved,in order to provide further directions and references for the neuroprotective effects of celastrol.

Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease among children, and has emerged as a substantial global public health concern, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. It has a serious impact on children′s health and imposes a significant disease burden on families and society. Currently, there are three globally available HFMD vaccines (all of them are EV71 inactivated vaccine), which were first approved and marketed in China in 2016. Real-world studies have shown a decrease in the incidence, severity, and mortality rate of EV71-related HFMD, providing evidence of its effectiveness. Additionally, related data have indicated a significant change in the pathogen spectrum of HFMD in China in the post-vaccine era. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the safety, effectiveness and immune-persistence data of EV71 vaccine acquired through real-world studies.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of protein A immunoadsorption (PAIA) combined with rituximab (RTX) in highly sensitized patients who underwent haplo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) .Methods:The clinical data of 56 highly sensitized patients treated with PAIA and RTX before haplo-HSCT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and Soochow Hopes Hematonosis Hospital between March 2021 and June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The number of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibody types and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), humoral immunity, adverse reactions during adsorption, and survival within 100 days before and after adsorption were measured.Results:After receiving the PAIA treatment, the median MFI of patients containing only HLA Ⅰ antibodies decreased from 7 859 (3 209-12 444) to 3 719 (0-8 275) ( P<0.001), and the median MFI of HLA Ⅰ+Ⅱ antibodies decreased from 5 476 (1 977-12 382) to 3 714 (0-11 074) ( P=0.035). The median MFI of patients with positive anti-donor-specific antibodies decreased from 8 779 (2 697-18 659) to 4 524 (0–15 989) ( P<0.001). The number of HLA-A, B, C, DR, and DQ antibodies in all patients decreased after the PAIA treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (A, B, C, DR: P<0.001, DQ: P<0.01). The humoral immune monitoring before and after the PAIA treatment showed a significant decrease in the number of IgG and complement C3 ( P<0.001 and P=0.002, respectively). Forty-four patients underwent HLA antibody monitoring after transplantation, and the overall MFI and number of antibody types decreased. However, five patients developed new antibodies with low MFI, and nine patients continued to have high MFI. The overall survival, disease-free survival, non-recurrent mortality, and cumulative recurrence rates at 100 days post-transplantation were 83.8%, 80.2%, 16.1%, and 4.5%, respectively. Conclusions:The combination of PAIA and RTX has a certain therapeutic effect and good safety in the desensitization treatment of highly sensitive patients before haplo-HSCT.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases(CVD)in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods:A total of 281 OSAHS patients admitted in Second People's Hospital of Huai'an City between May 2020 and March 2022 were selected and divided into CVD group(n=63)and no CVD group(n=218)according to presence of CVD.The OSAHS general data questionnaire designed by the re-search group was used to investigate the patients and univariate analysis was carried out,and the clinically significant single factors were included in the multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Influencing factors for CVD in OSAHS patients were analyzed.Results:Compared with no CVD group,patients in CVD group had significant higher age,body mass index(BMI),fasting plasma glucose(FPG)level,proportions of CVD family history,dyslipidemia and severe OSAHS(P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that age,BMI,dyslipi-demia,FPG and severe OSAHS were independent risk factors for CVD in OSAHS patients(OR=2.213～2.482,P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Conclusion:Age,BMI,dyslipidemia,FPG and severe OSAHS are independent risk factors of CVD in OSAHS patients.Individualized prevention and control strategies can be formulated according to above fac-tors in clinic,which is of great significance for prevention of CVD occurrence.

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab rapid desensitization therapy.Methods PubMed,Embase,Cochrane,Web of Science,Scopus,CNKI,Wanfang,and VIP databases were searched,and the search time frame was from the establishment of the database to February 2023.Two evaluators independently screened the literature,extracted data,and evaluated the quality of the included literature,and the resulting data were analyzed descriptively or statistically.The systematic review protocol was registered on PROSPERO(CRD:42022306557).Results Twenty-five studies(11 case reports and 14 case series)were included,with 138 patients desensitized,of whom 129 were successfully desensitized(i.e.,completed at least one target dose administration).The pretreatment regimen prior to desensitization was a combination of 2 or more of several classes of drugs,including H1 and H2 receptor antagonists,glucocorticoids,sedatives,NSAIDs,and acetaminophen,and 88%of the pretreatment regimens included H1 receptor antagonists or glucocorticoids.Sixteen studies(64.0%)reported on skin testing prior to desensitization,with positive rates of 12.50%for skin prick tests(n=16)and 49.15%for intradermal tests(n=59).Seventeen studies(68.0%)used the 3 bags-12 steps rapid desensitization protocol,the rest were for multiple desensitization methods such as 4 bags-16 steps or 2 bags-8 steps.The initial administration concentration of rituximab(i.e.,the concentration of the first desensitizing solution)was 1/10 X-1/10,000 X in most of the included studies,the first step infusion rate was 1.5-5 mL·min-1,and the total duration of single desensitization was approximately 4-10.5 h.Twenty-three studies(92%)reported the occurrence of anaphylactic reactions during patient desensitization,of which five studies had no anaphylactic reactions at the time of desensitization,and the majority of patients in the other 18 studies were able to continue to complete desensitization after being given symptomatic treatment or a modified desensitization regimen.Conclusions Current evidence suggests that rituximab rapid desensitization therapy has certain effectiveness and safety.However,there is still a lack of high-quality evidence or execution standards with strong operability and more large-sample,multicenter studies are needed to further explore the aspects of skin testing before desensitization,pretreatment,individualized desensitization steps,and management of allergic reactions during desensitization.

AIM:To investigate the effect of vaccarin(VAC)on endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),and to uncover the underlying mechanisms.METHODS:(1)C57BL/6 mice received intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin and were fed with a high-fat diet(21.8 kJ/kg,60%of the energy source was fat)to construct a T2DM mouse model.Thirty mice were randomly divided into control,T2DM and T2DM+VAC groups,with 10 mice in each group.The mice in T2DM+VAC group were given 1 mg/kg VAC via oral gavage for 6 weeks,while those in control and T2DM groups were given the same volume of PBS.The mRNA and protein expression levels of BCL2-interacting pro-tein 3(BNIP3),PTEN-induced kinase 1(PINK1)and parkin in the thoracic aorta were detected by RT-qPCR and West-ern blot.(2)Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)were stimulated by high glucose(HG;35 mmol/L glu-cose).Mitochondrial membrane potential,autophagy and mitochondrial superoxide levels were detected using JC-1,acri-dine orange(AO)and MitoSOX staining,respectively.RESULTS:Compared with control group,the mRNA and protein levels of BNIP3,PINK1 and parkin were significantly increased in the thoracic aorta of T2DM mice(P<0.05).Compared with T2DM group,the mRNA and protein levels of BNIP3,PINK1 and parkin in the thoracic aorta were significantly re-duced in T2DM+VAC group(P<0.05).The results of JC-1,AO and MitoSOX staining showed that VAC attenuated the decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and the increase in autophagy and mitochondrial superoxide levels in HG-in-duced HUVECs.Treatment with VAC also inhibited HG-mediated mitochondrial damage in HUVECs after BNIP3 overex-pression.The effect of miR-570-3p mimic on mitochondrial damage was similar to VAC.RT-qPCR and Western blot showed that both miR-570-3p mimic and VAC significantly reduced the mRNA and protein levels of BNIP3,PINK1 and parkin.In contrast,inhibition of miR-570-3p exhibited the opposite effects.CONCLUSION:Treatment with VAC alle-viated endothelial dysfunction in T2DM by inhibiting HG-induced mitochondrial dysfunction through miR-570-3p/BNIP3.

Objective To study the characteristics and clinical value of intestinal metabolites in children aged 4-6 years with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods A total of 31 children aged 4-6 years with OSAHS were prospectively enrolled as the test group,and 24 healthy children aged 4-6 years were included as the control group.Relevant clinical indicators were recorded.Fecal samples were collected,and non-targeted metabolomics analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was performed to detect all metabolites.Results A total of 206 metabolites were detected,mainly amino acids and their derivatives.There was a significant difference in the overall composition of intestinal metabolites between the test and control groups(P<0.05).Eighteen different metabolites were selected,among which six(N-acetylmethionine,L-methionine,L-lysine,DL-phenylalanine,L-tyrosine,and L-isoleucine)had receiver operating characteristic curve areas greater than 0.7 for diagnosing OSAHS.Among them,N-acetylmethionine had the largest area under the curve,which was 0.807,with a sensitivity of 70.83%and a specificity of 80.65%.Correlation analysis between different metabolites and clinical indicators showed that there were positive correlations between the degree of tonsil enlargement and enterolactone,between uric acid and phenylacetaldehyde,between blood glucose and acetylmethionine,and between cholesterol and 9-bromodiphenyl and procaine(P<0.05).There were negative correlations between the degree of tonsil enlargement and N-methyltyramine,aspartate aminotransferase and indolepropionic acid and L-isoleucine,between alanine aminotransferase and DL-phenylalanine,between indolepropionic acid and L-isoleucine,between uric acid and hydroxyquinoline,and between urea nitrogen and N,N-dicyclohexylurea(P<0.05).The metabolic functional pathways affected by differential metabolites mainly included riboflavin metabolism,arginine and proline metabolism,pantothenic acid and coenzyme A biosynthesis,cysteine and methionine metabolism,lysine degradation and glutathione metabolism.Conclusions Intestinal metabolites and metabolic functions are altered in children aged 4-6 years with OSAHS,primarily involving amino acid metabolism disorders.The screened differential intestinal metabolites have potential screening and diagnostic value as biomarkers for OSAHS.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks,and to provide a basis for early identification of BPD in twin preterm infants in clinical practice.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks who were admitted to 22 hospitals nationwide from January 2018 to December 2020.According to their conditions,they were divided into group A(both twins had BPD),group B(only one twin had BPD),and group C(neither twin had BPD).The risk factors for BPD in twin preterm infants were analyzed.Further analysis was conducted on group B to investigate the postnatal risk factors for BPD within twins.Results A total of 904 pairs of twins with a gestational age of<34 weeks were included in this study.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group C,birth weight discordance of>25%between the twins was an independent risk factor for BPD in one of the twins(OR=3.370,95%CI:1.500-7.568,P<0.05),and high gestational age at birth was a protective factor against BPD(P<0.05).The conditional logistic regression analysis of group B showed that small-for-gestational-age(SGA)birth was an independent risk factor for BPD in individual twins(OR=5.017,95%CI:1.040-24.190,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of BPD in twin preterm infants is associated with gestational age,birth weight discordance between the twins,and SGA birth.
