Lutetium-177 (¹⁷⁷Lu)-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-617 is a small-molecule radioligand therapy (RLT) drug targeting PSMA. By selectively delivering the β^－ radiation emitted by ¹⁷⁷Lu to PSMA-positive prostate cancer cells, it induces tumor cell death. The agent has been approved in multiple nations and regions for the treatment of PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, thereby expanding therapeutic options for this patient population. This review outlines the development, pharmacological properties, and current clinical applications of ¹⁷⁷Lu-PSMA-617, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical practice of RLT in prostate cancer treatment.

Objective To establish a chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for detecting chlorfenapyr and its metabolite tralopyril in blood,and to investigate the toxicokinetics in rats.Methods Chlorfenapyr(8 mg/kg)was administered orally to rats,and blood samples were collected from rats'canthus vein at 5 min,15 min,30 min,1 h,3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h and 48 h after administration.The blood samples were extracted using 100 μL of 5%formic acid solution and 400 μL of acetonitrile.Chlorfena-pyr was qualitatively and quantitatively detected by triple quadrupole gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(GC-MS/MS)and tralopyril was detected by triple quadrupole liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS).The DAS 3.0 software was used to fit the toxicokinetic equa-tions and calculate the toxicokinetic parameters.Results Chlorfenapyr was detectable from 5 min to 24 h with a peak time of 1 h.Tralopyril was detectable from 15 min to 48 h with a peak time of 3 h.The toxicokinetic process of chlorfenapyr in rat blood conformed to a first-order absorption one-compartment open model,with the toxicokinetic equation described as C=e-0.265t-e-0.175t.Tralopyril con-formed to the first-order absorption three-compartment model,and the toxicokinetic equation was C=47 361.069e-2.209t-35 404.962e-1.486t+11 956.363e-0.512t.In the equations,C stands for the concentration of the target substance in the blood,e is the natural constant(≈2.718 28),and t stands for time.Conclu-sion This study optimized the detection method for chlorfenapyr and its metabolite tralopyril in blood.The toxicokinetic equations and parameters of chlorfenapyr and tralopyril can provide a reference for the estimation of oral intake time of chlorfenapyr.

Tic disorder is a chronic neuropsychiatric disorder with complex etiology and diverse phenotypes,and its incidence has been increasing significantly in recent years.Most scholars believe that abnormalities in the cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical circuit and its interconnected brain regions are closely related to the development of tic disorder.Chinese materia medica intervention in tic disorders is characterized by multi-targets,multi-mechanisms and holistic nature,and has a good prospect for research application.This article summarized the experimental studies of TCM compound intervention in tic disorder in recent years,which have shown that TCM compounds could reduce the damage of nerve cells through the regulation of neurotransmitters,inflammatory response,immune function and the"colony-gut-brain axis"to improve and prevent tic disorder,which could provide a reference for the research and development of new medicines for tic disorder and for the clinical research.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of Ningmitai Capsules(NMT)on chronic prostatitis/chronic pel-vic pain syndrome(CP/CPPS)and its action mechanism.Methods:We equally randomized fifteen 6-8 weeks old male Wistar rats into a sham operation,a model control and an NMT group,and established a CP/CPPS model in the rats by intra-prostatic injection of complete Freund adjuvant(CFA).We treated the rats in the sham operation and model control groups by injection of aseptic phosphate buffer saline(PBS)and 50 μl complete Freund adjuvant(CFA),respectively,into the ventral lobe of the prostate followed by gavage with purified water from the second day after surgery,and those in the NMT group with 50 μl CFA injected into the ventral lobe of the prostate followed by gavage with 3 ml NMT suspension at 400 mg/kg/d from the second day after surgery.After 4 weeks of treatment,we killed the animals and collected the serum and prostatic tissue samples for evaluation of the severity of prostatitis by histopathological grading of chronic prostatitis through HE staining,determination of the mRNA expressions of inflammatory factors by real-time quantita-tive PCR,measurement of the activities of related antioxidant enzymes with testing kits,and detection of the expressions of the related targets in the signaling pathways by Western blot.Results:Histopathological examination revealed different degrees of inflammatory cell infiltration in the mesenchyme,inflammatory vacuoles,irregularly shaped acini in the model control group,with a significantly higher inflammation score than in the sham operation group(P＜0.05),and reduced infiltrating lymphocytes,inflammatory vacuoles and inflammation score in the NMT group compared with those in the model controls(P＜0.05).Compared with the rats in the sham operation group,the model controls showed remarkably up-regulated expressions of IL-1 β,IL-6,IL-10,IL-17A,TNF-α and IFN-γ(P＜0.05),decreased contents of superoxide dismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)(P＜0.05),and increased content of malondialdehyde(MDA)(P＜0.05).Compared with the model controls,the rats treated with NMT exhibited markedly reduced expressions of IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10,IL-17A,TNF-α and IFN-γ(P＜0.05),increased contents of SOD,CAT and GSH-Px(P＜0.05),decreased content of MDA(P＜0.05),up-regulated expressions of nuclear factor red 2-related factor 2(n-Nrf2)and heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)(P＜0.05),and down-regulated expression of NF-κB P-P65(P＜0.05).Conclusion:NMT plays anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation roles in the pathogenesis of CP/CPPS,possibly by activation of Nrf2 and suppression of NF-κB signaling pathways.

Objective To explore clinical value of the expression levels of cell surface transmembrane glycoprotein molecule 44(CD44)mRNA,cell surface transmembrane glycoprotein molecule 24(CD24)mRNA,and protein in the placenta of severe preeclampsia(SPE)patients.Methods The SPE patients who were delivered by cesarean section in the Second People's Hospital of Liaocheng from June 2019 to June 2022 were further divided into 45 patients in early onset SPE group(gestational age≤34 weeks)and 55 patients in late onset SPE group(gestational age＞34 weeks)according to the different gestational age.The control group consisted of 100 normal cases in the same period.The expression of CD44 and CD24 in placenta of SPE patients was detected by fluorescent quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry,Pearson method was used to analyze the difference of their expression levels and their correlation with the clinical characteristics of SPE disease,and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of SPE.Results Compared with the control group,the expression levels of CD44 mRNA(0.55±0.12 vs 1.02±0.33)and CD24 mRNA(0.68±0.19 vs 1.05±0.11)in SPE placental tissues decreased significantly,the differences were statistically significant(t=13.385,16.853,P＜0.05).The immunohistochemical staining results showed that CD44 and CD24 were mostly negative or weakly positive in the SPE group placental tissue,while they were mostly positive in the control group,the positive rates of CD44 and CD24 in the SPE placental tissue were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(χ2=9.696,14.346,P＜0.05).Compared to the early onset SPE group,the expression levels of CD44(0.65±0.17 vs 0.42±0.11)and CD24(0.77±0.23 vs 0.58±0.13)mRNA in placental tissue of late onset SPE were higher,and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.830,4.932,P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the BMI,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,urinary protein,Cr,LDH and BUN were significantly increased in SPE group(t=5.360～30.241,all P＜0.05).In SPE group,the gestational age was earlier,the MPV and ALB were lower,the newborn's birth length was shorter,and the body weight than control group,the differences were statistically great(t=3.232～11.109,all P＜0.05).The expression of CD44 and CD24 in SPE placenta was positively correlated(r=0.698,P＜0.05),the expression of CD44 in SPE placenta was positively correlated with CD24,gestational week of delivery,MPV and neonatal birth length(r=0.611,0.639,0.612,0.465,all P＜0.05),and was negatively correlated with systolic blood pressure,urinary protein and LDH(r=-0.604,-0.569,-0.593,all P＜0.05).The expression of CD24 was positively correlated with gestational age,MPV and newborn birth length(r=0.605,0.584,0.640,all P＜0.05),and was negatively correlated with systolic blood pressure,urinary protein and LDH(r=-0.637,-0.593,-0.561,all P＜0.05).The results of logistic regression analysis showed that MPV(95％CI:1.429～4.350),urinary protein(95％CI:1.529～2.709),and LDH(95％CI:1.425～3.932)were all independent risk factors for SPE(all P＜0.05).High levels of CD44(95％CI:0.561～0.940)and CD24(95％CI:0.495～0.814)were independent protective factors for SPE(P＜0.05).Conclusion The low expression levels of CD44 and CD24 in placenta of SPE patients are independent protective factors of SPE,which can provide direction for the follow-up treatment of SPE.

Improving the reproducibility of biomedical research results is a major challenge.Researchers reporting their research process transparently and accurately can help readers evaluate the reliability of the research results and further explore the experiment by repeating it or building upon its findings. The ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines, released in 2019 by the UK National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs), provide a checklist applicable to any in vivo animal research report. These guidelines aim to improve the standardization of experimental design, implementation, and reporting, as well as the reliability, repeatability, and clinical translatability of animal experimental results. The use of ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines not only enriches the details of animal experimental research reports, ensuring that information on animal experimental results is fully evaluated and utilized, but also enables readers to understand the content expressed by the author accurately and clearly, promoting the transparency and integrity of the fundamental research review process. At present, the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines have been widely adopted by international biomedical journals. This article is a Chinese translation based on the best practices of international journals following the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines in international journals, specifically for the complete interpretation of the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines published in the PLoS Biology journal in 2020 (original text can be found at https://arriveguidelines.org). The third part of the article includes the items 8-10 of ARRIVE 2.0 Essential 10, which covers "experimental animals" "experimental procedures" and "results". Its aim is to promote the full understanding and use of the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines by domestic researchers, enhance the standardization of experimental animal research and reporting, and promote the high-quality development of experimental animal technology and comparative medicine research in China.

On February 2022, WHO released the evidence-based guideline on control and elimination of human schistosomiasis, with aims to guide the elimination of schistosomiasis as a public health problem in disease-endemic countries by 2030 and promote the interruption of schistosomiasis transmission across the world. Based on the One Health concept, six evidence-based recommendations were proposed in this guideline. This article aims to analyze the feasibility of key aspects of this guideline in Chinese national schistosomiasis control program and illustrate the significance to guide the future actions for Chinese national schistosomiasis control program. Currently, the One Health concept has been embodied in the Chinese national schistosomiasis control program. Based on this new WHO guideline, the following recommendations are proposed for the national schistosomiasis control program of China: (1) improving the systematic framework building, facilitating the agreement of the cross-sectoral consensus, and building a high-level leadership group; (2) optimizing the current human and livestock treatments in the national schistosomiasis control program of China; (3) developing highly sensitive and specific diagnostics and the framework for verifying elimination of schistosomiasis; (4) accelerating the progress towards elimination of schistosomiasis and other parasitic diseases through integrating the national control programs for other parasitic diseases.

Currently, the national schistosomiasis control program of China is moving from transmission interruption to elimination, and there are multiple challenges during the stage moving towards the progression of schistosomiasis elimination, including a high difficulty in shrinking snail-infested areas, unstable achievements for infectious source control, imperfect surveillance system and a reduction in schistosomiasis control and administration. Based on the core suggestions proposed in the 2022 WHO guideline on control and elimination of human schistosomiasis, recommendations on schistosomiasis surveillance system building, development of novel diagnostics, adjustment of the schistosomiasis control strategy and maintaining and improvements of the schistosomiasis control capability are proposed for the national schistosomiasis control program of China in the new era according to the actual status of schistosomiasis control in China. Formulation of the national schistosomiasis control strategy and goal from One Health perspective, verification of transmission interruption and elimination of schistosomiasis, precision implementation of schistosomiasis control interventions with adaptations to local circumstances, development and application of highly sensitive and specific diagnostics are recommended for elimination of schistosomiasis in China. In addition, the implementation of the 2022 WHO guideline on control and elimination of human schistosomiasis may guide the elimination of schistosomiasis in China.
