OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of Stevens-Johnson syndrome （SJS） and toxic epidermal necrolysis （TEN） induced by tislelizumab， providing evidence for clinical medication safety. METHODS Case reports of tislelizumab-related SJS/TEN were retrieved from CNKI， VIP， Wanfang Data， PubMed， ScienceDirect， and Embase. Descriptive analysis was performed. RESULTS Seventeen cases from 17 publications were included （SJS 4 cases， TEN 13 cases）. Among them， there were 10 males and 7 females. Twelve patients were aged between 70 and 79 years. The predominant tumor type was lung cancer （10 cases）. Thirteen patients received combination therapy with chemotherapeutic drugs. The median onset time of SJS/ TEN was 26 （4， 104） days. Nine patients developed SJS/TEN after the first administration of the drug. Sixteen patients exhibited prodromal rash symptoms， primarily characterized by severe skin damage such as skin detachment， accompanied by mucosal injury. Sixteen patients improved after symptomatic treatment， while one patient died. CONCLUSIONS Tislelizumab-associated SJS/TEN risk is higher in elderly patients， males， those with lung cancer and those receiving combination chemotherapy. Mucosal lesions and atypical rashes may indicate the early onset of SJS/TEN. During clinical use， pharmaceutical care can be carried out through measures such as identifying high-risk populations， closely monitoring skin symptoms from the first administration to the fifth treatment cycle， and enhancing patient education. When relevant symptoms occur， the medication should be promptly discontinued and symptomatic treatment should be administered to ensure the patient’s medication safety.

OBJECTIVE: To explore and verify the effect and potential mechanism of Brucea javanica Seed Oil Emulsion Injection (YDZI) and Shengmai Injection (SMI) on peripheral microcirculation dysfunction in treatment of gastric cancer (GC). METHODS: The potential mechanisms of YDZI and SMI were explored through network pharmacology and verified by cellular and clinical experiments. Human microvascular endothelial cells (HMECs) were cultured for quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot analysis, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured for tube formation assay. Twenty healthy volunteers and 97 patients with GC were enrolled. Patients were divided into surgical resection, surgical resection with chemotherapy, and surgical resection with chemotherapy combining YDZI and SMI groups. Forearm skin blood perfusion was measured and recorded by laser speckle contrast imaging coupled with post-occlusive reactive hyperemia. Cutaneous vascular conductance and microvascular reactivity parameters were calculated and compared across the groups. RESULTS: After network pharmacology analysis, 4 ingredients, 82 active compounds, and 92 related genes in YDZI and SMI were screened out. β-Sitosterol, an active ingredient and intersection compound of YDZI and SMI, upregulated the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2, P<0.01), downregulated the expression of caspase 9 (CASP9) and estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1, P<0.01) in HMECs under oxaliplatin stimulation, and promoted tube formation through VEGFA. Chemotherapy significantly impaired the microvascular reactivity in GC patients, whereas YDZI and SMI ameliorated this injury (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS YDZI and SMI ameliorated peripheral microvascular reactivity in GC patients. β-Sitosterol may improve peripheral microcirculation by regulating VEGFA, PTGS2, ESR1, and CASP9.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the mechanism of action of tanshinone II A (Tan II A) in promoting chemosensitization of osteosarcoma cells to cisplatin (DDP). METHODS: The effects of different concentrations of Tan II A (0-80 µ mol/L) and DDP (0-2 µ mol/L) on the proliferation of osteosarcoma cell lines (U2R, U2OS, 143B, and HOS) at different times were examined using the cell counting kit-8 and colony formation assays. Migration and invasion of U2R and U2OS cells were detected after 24 h treatment with 30 µ mol/L Tan II A, 0.5 µ mol/L DDP alone, and a combination of 10 µ mol/L Tan II A and 0.25 µ mol/L DDP using the transwell assay. After 48 h of treatment of U2R and U2OS cells with predetermined concentrations of each group of drugs, the cell cycle was analyzed using a cell cycle detection kit and flow cytometry. After 48 h treatment, apoptosis of U2R and U2OS cells was detected using annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection kit and flow cytometry. U2R cells were inoculated into the unilateral axilla of nude mice and then the mice were randomly divided into 4 groups of 6 nude mice each. The 4 groups were treated with equal volume of Tan II A (15 mg/kg), DDP (3 mg/kg), Tan II A (7.5 mg/kg) + DDP (1.5 mg/kg), and normal saline, respectively. The body weight of the nude mice was weighed, and the tumor volume and weight were measured. Cell-related gene and signaling pathway expression were detected by RNA sequencing and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis. p38 MAPK signaling pathway proteins and apoptotic protein expressions were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: In vitro studies have shown that Tan II A, DDP and the combination of Tan II A and DDP inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. The inhibitory effect was more pronounced in the Tan II A and DDP combined treatment group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Osteosarcoma cells underwent significantly cell-cycle arrest and cell apoptosis by Tan II A-DDP combination treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In vivo studies demonstrated that the Tan II A-DD combination treatment group significantly inhibited tumor growth compared to the Tan II A and DDP single drug group (P<0.01). Additionally, we found that the combination of Tan II A and DDP treatment enhanced the p38 MAPK signaling pathway. Western blot assays showed higher p-p38, cleaved caspase-3, and Bax and lower caspase-3, and Bcl-2 expressions with the combination of Tan II A and DDP treatment compared to the single drug treatment (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Tan II A synergizes with DDP by activating the p38/MAPK pathway to upregulate cleaved caspase-3 and Bax pro-apoptotic gene expressions, and downregulate caspase-3 and Bcl-2 inhibitory apoptotic gene expressions, thereby enhancing the chemosensitivity of osteosarcoma cells to DDP.

Wastewater-based epidemiology has emerged as a transformative surveillance tool for estimating substance consumption and monitoring disease prevalence, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. It enables the population-level monitoring of illicit drug use, pathogen prevalence, and environmental pollutant exposure. In this perspective, we summarize the key challenges specific to the Chinese context: (1) Sampling inconsistencies, necessitating standardized 24-hour composite protocols with high-frequency autosamplers (≤ 15 min/event) to improve the representativeness of samples; (2) Biomarker validation, requiring rigorous assessment of excretion profiles and in-sewer stability; (3) Analytical method disparities, demanding inter-laboratory proficiency testing and the development of automated pretreatment instruments; (4) Catchment population dynamics, reducing estimation uncertainties through mobile phone data, flow-based models, or hydrochemical parameters; and (5) Ethical and data management concerns, including privacy risks for small communities, mitigated through data de-identification and tiered reporting platforms. To address these challenges, we propose an integrated framework that features adaptive sampling networks, multi-scale wastewater sample banks, biomarker databases with multidimensional metadata, and intelligent data dashboards. In summary, wastewater-based epidemiology offers unparalleled scalability for equitable health surveillance and can improve the health of the entire population by providing timely and objective information to guide the development of targeted policies.

Objective:To establish a model of reactive Th17 cells proliferation induced by collagen type Ⅱ(C Ⅱ)in vitro and investigate its influencing factors.Methods:The splenic lymphocytes of normal and CIA mice were isolated and divided into groups.They were given inactivated or non-inactivated C Ⅱ or different concentrations of IL-23(2,10,50 ng/mL),or IL-23p19 antibody.Culturing for 60 hours,the ratio of CD4+RORγt+Th17 cells was detected by flow cytometry.Then,the results obtained are ana lyzed,and the corresponding conclusions are drawn.Results:After 60 hours of culture in vitro,the ratio of Th 17 cells stimulated by inactivated or non-inactivated C Ⅱ in normal mouse spleen lymphocytes was significantly lower than that before culture,and the ratio of Th17 cells not stimulated by C Ⅱ in CIA mouse spleen lymphocytes was also significantly lower than that before culture,while the ratio of Th17 cells stimulated by inactivated C Ⅱ or non-inactivated C Ⅱ in CIA mouse spleen lymphocytes was significantly higher than that before culture,and there was a significant difference compared with the CIA control group(P＜0.05).However,there was no statistical difference in the ratio of Th17 cells between the two groups without inactivated C Ⅱ and inactivated C Ⅱ(P=0.44).After the analysis of the data obtained from the study,it was further concluded that different concentrations of IL-23 did not affect the Th17 cell ratio of spleen lymphocytes of CIA mice in vitro,but after adding IL-23p19 antibody neutralization reagent,the Th17 cell ratio of spleen lymphocytes of CIA mice in vitro decreased significantly,with a statistical difference compared with the blank control group(P＜0.01).Conclusions:This study established an in vitro Th17 cell proliferation model induced by type Ⅱ collagen,exploring the effects of IL-23 and collagen activity on Th17 cell proliferation.The results showed that CⅡ stimulation significantly promoted Th17 cell proliferation in CIA mice,with both active and inactivated CⅡ inducing proliferation.IL-23 was found to be essential for the maintenance of Th17 cells,although its direct proliferative effect was limited.These findings provide new experimental evidence and theoretical support for the mechanism research of rheumatic diseases and IL-23/IL-17 pathway-targeted therapies,with important implications for immune regulation and drug development.

Objective To compare the effect of small optical zone orthokeratology lenses(OK lenses)and repeated low-level red-light(RLRL)therapy in controlling myopia progression for adolescents,and the therapeutic effectiveness of RLRL is evaluated.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 80 adolescent myopic patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University.The patients were divided into the RLRL group and the OK lenses group according to different intervention methods,with 40 cases in each group.Patients in the RLRL group received RLRL therapy combined with single-vision spectacles,and patients in the OK lenses group were treated with OK lenses.The changes of spherical equivalent(SE),axial length and subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCT)1,3,6,and 12 months after treatment compared with the baseline,and color vision of patients were assessed.Based on the mean baseline axial length of the RLRL group,the patients in this group were subdivided into the short axial group and the long axial group,and the changes of the axial length and SFCT were further analyzed.Results The diopter 1,3,6,and 12 months after treatment in the RLRL group were not significantly different from the baseline(P>0.05).Axial lengths of patients in the RLRL group progressively shortened after treatment and returned close to the baseline 12 months after treatment.In contrast,axial lengths of patients in the OK lens continued to grow within 12 months after treatment;the axial lengths at each time point after treatment of patients in the two groups were significantly different from the baseline(P<0.05).The changes of axial length of patients in the RLRL group at each time point after treatment were significantly smaller than those in the OK lenses group(P<0.05).The SFCT changes of patients in the RLRL group at each time point after treatment were all greater than those in the OK lenses group(P<0.05).The SFCT at each time point after treatment in the RLRL group were significantly different from the baseline(P<0.05),whereas the SFCT at each time point after treatment in the OK lenses group were not significantly different from the baseline(P>0.05).The changes of axial length at each time point after treatment of patients in the long axial group were all greater than those in the short axial group(P<0.05);the SFCT changes 6 months after treatment of patients in the long axial group was greater than that in the short axial group(P<0.05);the SFCT at each time point after treatment of patients in the two groups were signifi-cantly different from the baseline(P<0.05).Color vision tests revealed no abnormities after treatment in the RLRL group and the OK lenses group.Conclusion RLRL therapy is effective in controlling myopia progression and demonstrates superior axial length control compared to orthokeratology lenses.

Objective To study the bioequivalence of test and reference olmesartan tablet in Chinese healthy subjects after single dose under fasting and fed conditions.Methods A single-center,random,open,single-dose,two-preparations,double-period,crossover study was adopted.A total of 48 healthy adult male and female subjects(24 cases of fasting test and 24 cases of fed test)were included in the random crossover administration.Single oral dose 20 mg of test and reference were taken under fasting and postprandial conditions,respectively.Plasma concentration of olmesartan in plasma were determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.The main pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by Phoenix WinNonlin 8.0 software.Results The main pharmacokinetic parameters of the test and reference preparations of olmesartan tablets in the fasting group were as follows:Cmax were(653.06±133.53)and(617.37±151.16)ng·mL-1,AUC0-t were(4 201.18±1 035.21)and(4 087.38±889.99)ng·mL-1·h,AUC0-∞ were(4 254.30±1 058.90)and(4 135.69±905.29)ng·mL-1·h.The main pharmacokinetic parameters of the test and reference preparations of olmesartan tablets in the postprandial group were as follows:Cmax were(574.78±177.05)and(579.98±107.74)ng·mL-1,AUC0-t were(3 288.37±866.06)and(3 181.51±801.06)ng·mL-1·h,AUC0-∞ were(3 326.11±874.26)and(3 242.01±823.09)ng·mL-1·h.Under fasting and postprandial conditions,the 90％confidence intervals of the main pharmacokinetic parameters of the test and reference preparations are both 80.00％-125.00％.Conclusion Under fasting and postprandial conditions,a single oral dose of test and reference preparations olmesartan tablets in Chinese healthy adult volunteers showed bioequivalence.

Lithium(Li)salts are commonly used as psychotropic medications for the treatment of major depressive disorders.However,long-term use of Li salts poses a high risk of toxicity,necessitating continuous monitoring of Li concentration in patient blood to ensure medication safety,which is crucial for clinical treatment.Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS),as a rapid analytical technique,has been widely applied in the elemental analysis of complex matrices in various practical scenarios.In this study,LIBS technology combined with partial least squares(PLS)was employed for quantitative analysis of Li elements in blood matrix.A total of 45 clinical blood samples were utilized,and the quantitative models for plasma and whole blood matrices were separately investigated.The number of latent variables in the PLS algorithm was optimized using a five-fold cross-validation method.Results revealed that the PLS quantitative model constructed on the basis of plasma matrix achieved a predictive determination coefficient(R2)of 0.992,a predictive root mean square error(RMSEP)of 0.204 μg/mL,and a relative standard error(RSD)of 2.14%.In contrast,for the PLS quantitative model constructed on the basis of whole blood matrix,the R2 was 0.984,the RMSEP was 0.728 μg/mL,and the RSD was 3.45%Consequently,the LIBS model constructed on the basis of plasma calibration values demonstrated superior performance in quantitative analysis of Li element in whole blood,and LIBS technology provided a new possibility for rapid assessment of blood Li levels in clinical practice,with promising prospects for application.
