Objective To compare and analyze the changes in the use of lung cancer therapeutic drugs before and after the national initiation of health insurance negotiations, and to study the impact of a series of policies on the use of lung cancer drugs. Methods Descriptive statistical methods were used analyze the basic situation of lung cancer patients and the changes of corresponding therapeutic drugs in Peking University People's Hospital from 2014 to 2020, as well as to the hospital procurement data of lung cancer therapeutic drugs in the database of the Chinese Medicine Economic Information. Results From 2014 to 2020, the total cost per capita of lung cancer patients showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, increasing before the national drug negotiation and gradually decreasing after the negotiation. After 2017, the use of small ATC categories such as VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors increased significantly, along with a rise in the number of monoclonal antibody varieties. The DDDs of osimertinib, anlotinib, alectinib, crizotinib and other drugs in the medical insurance list increased significantly, and the average daily cost decreased significantly. Conclusion The number of hospitalization days for lung cancer patients had continued to shorten in recent years, and the structure of drug use had changed significantly. The adjustment of the medical insurance catalog had led to more innovative lung cancer drugs showing the trend of volume up and price down.

ObjectiveTo prepare a recombinant PETase with a dual-catalytic-triad and to evaluate its efficiency in the biodegradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). MethodsBased on the crystal structure of wild-type PETase, point mutations (T88H/L117D) were introduced via site-directed mutagenesis. The recombinant protein was prepared using prokaryotic expression and chromatography purification techniques. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the mutant PETase was assessed by relatively quantifying the products mono (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (MHET) and terephthalic acid (TPA). ResultsBoth wild-type and mutant PETases accumulated as inclusion bodies, accounting for approximately 20% of the total bacterial protein. After solubilization in urea, the proteins were eluted at 300 mmol/L imidazole during affinity chromatography purification, with concentrations of 1.824 and 1.833 mg/mL and purities of 83.11% and 84.32%, respectively. Subsequent anion-exchange chromatography yielded highly pure enzymes in the 200 mmol/L NaCl fraction: 2.776 mg/mL (96.86% purity) for the wild type and 1.967 mg/mL (95.13% purity) for the mutant. Following refolding, the final concentrations were 0.484 mg/mL for the wild type and 0.991 mg/mL for the mutant. Hydrolysis assays revealed that the mutant released MHET and TPA at (237.67±17.00)% and (197.33±12.01)% of the wild-type levels, respectively. ConclusionThe T88H/L117D dual-catalytic-triad PETase is successfully prepared and it significantly enhanced PET-degrading activity, thus, it′s a promising biocatalyst for PET bioremediation.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical and phenomics characteristics of patients with phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and its accompanied patterns in stable angina pectoris (SAP) of coronary heart disease (CHD). MethodsA multicenter cross-sectional study design was adopted. A total of 300 patients with SAP of CHD were enrolled and classified into 120 cases of phlegm-stasis binding syndrome, 125 cases of qi deficiency-accompanied syndrome, 38 cases of qi stagnation-accompanied syndrome, and 17 cases of toxin accumulation-accompanied syndrome according to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) patterns. Data of patients with different TCM patterns were collected, including general condition, TCM symptoms, blood lipids, coagulation function, immune indicators, and serum metabolomics. Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis was used to compare differences in phenomics characteristics among groups. Metabolites with variable importance in projection (VIP) ≥1 and fold change (FC) ≥2 were considered as representative differential metabolites. ResultsPatients in each TCM pattern type were most commonly in the 60-75 years age group, with a relatively high proportion of males. Regarding TCM symptoms, patients with phlegm-stasis binding syndrome most commonly presented with wiry-choppy or wiry-slippery pulse, chest pain, and chest tightness; in patients with qi deficiency-accompanied syndrome, fatigue, chest pain, and weak pulse were most common; in patients with qi stagnation-accompanied sydnrome, wiry-choppy or wiry-slippery pulse, chest pain, and symptoms that increase or decrease with emotional changes, belching, or flatulence were most common; in patients with toxin accumulation-accompanied syndrome, bitter taste in the mouth, chest tightness, irritability, restlessness or manic delirium, and dry and hard stools or foul-smelling diarrhea were most common. Comparisons among the different TCM patterns showed statistically significant differences in coagulation parameters (P<0.05), whereas no statistically significant difference was found in blood lipid levels and immune indicators (P>0.05).Metabolomics analysis suggested that disorders of glycerophosphate metabolism and valine, leucine, and isoleucine metabolism are characteristic features of phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and its accompanied patterns. The representative differential metabolites between phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and qi deficiency-accompanied syndrome were 7,8-dihydrobiopterin (FC = 3.58) and oxypurinol (FC = 124.50). Those between phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and qi stagnation-accompanied syndrome were cytidine 5′-diphosphocholine (FC = 2.62) and D-mannosamine (FC = 2.99). Those between phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and toxin accumulation-accompanied syndrome were anserine (FC = 7.83) and canrenone (FC = 8.94). ConclusionThere are certain differences in the clinical characteristics and phenomics characteristics among patients with SAP due to CHD exhibiting phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and its accompanied patterns. The phenomics characteristics mainly involve biological alterations such as lipid metabolism disorders, amino acid metabolism abnormalities, and multiple immune indicators activation, which may provide a reference for precise differentiation and treatment of SAP of CHD in TCM clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of Tongxinluo submicron powder in regulating renal PANoptosis, alleviating pathological injury in diabetic kidney disease (DKD), reducing urinary albumin excretion, and improving renal function in DKD mice. MethodsSix 6-week-old male C57BL/Ks mice were assigned into the normal group. Eighteen 6-week-old male BKS-db;Nos3KO mice were randomly divided into three groups: model group, Tongxinluo group (0.75 g·kg-1·d-1), and dapagliflozin group (0.001 g·kg-1·d-1), and were administered by gavage for 12 consecutive weeks. General conditions of the mice were observed. At weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12 after administration, body weight, fasting blood glucose (FBG), urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), and urinary albumin excretion rate (AER) were measured. After treatment, mice were anesthetized for sample collection. Blood was obtained by orbital enucleation and centrifuged to collect supernatant. Serum creatinine (SCr), urea (UREA), β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), retinol-binding protein (RBP), and serum cystatin C (CysC) were measured. Renal histopathological changes were evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining, and Masson's trichrome staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum levels of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were also measured. Western blot analysis was performed to quantify the expression of key PANoptosis-related proteins in renal tissue, including Z-DNA-binding protein 1 (ZBP1), Caspase-1, cleaved Caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD) and its N-terminal fragment (GSDMD-N), Caspase-8, cleaved Caspase-8, Caspase-3, cleaved Caspase-3, mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), and phosphorylated MLKL (p-MLKL). ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group showed significant obesity and continuously increased blood glucose levels (P<0.05). Renal function indicators (UREA, β2-MG, CysC) were significantly increased (P<0.05), and urinary albumin excretion indicators (UACR, AER) were markedly elevated (P<0.05). Renal histopathology showed enlarged glomeruli, diffuse thickening of the basement membrane, and significant expansion of the mesangial matrix. Masson staining revealed extensive blue collagen fiber deposition, suggesting glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis. Meanwhile, serum levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α) were significantly increased (P<0.05). SOD and GSH-Px levels were decreased, while MDA levels were increased (P<0.05). The expression of key PANoptosis-related proteins (ZBP1, cleaved Caspase-1, GSDMD, GSDMD-N, cleaved Caspase-8, Caspase-3, cleaved Caspase-3, and p-MLKL) in renal tissue was significantly upregulated (P<0.05). After intervention, compared with the model group, renal function indicators (UREA, β2-MG, CysC) and urinary albumin excretion indicators (UACR, AER) in the Tongxinluo group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and all were superior to those in the dapagliflozin group (P<0.05). Renal pathological injury was markedly alleviated, with reduced mesangial proliferation and collagen fiber deposition. In addition, serum levels of IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α were significantly decreased (P<0.05). SOD and GSH-Px levels were increased, while MDA levels were decreased (P<0.05). Western blot results showed that the expression of key PANoptosis-related proteins (ZBP1, cleaved Caspase-1, GSDMD, GSDMD-N, cleaved Caspase-8, Caspase-3, cleaved Caspase-3, and p-MLKL) in renal tissue was significantly downregulated (P<0.05). ConclusionTongxinluo submicron powder can inhibit renal PANoptosis in DKD mice, alleviate renal inflammatory response and pathological injury, reduce urinary albumin excretion, and improve renal function.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between life skills, psychological resilience and subjective well-being among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide evidence for targeted adolescent mental health education.
Methods:
From September to November, 2025, a total of 5 831 primary and secondary school students from five cities (Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Urumqi) were selected by convenience sampling. The Adolescent Subjective Well being Scale, School based Adolescents Life Skills Scale, and Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale were used for investigation. Data were analyzed using t-tests, one way ANOVA, and linear regression.
Results:
The total mean score of students subjective well being was (5.46± 0.91) ; the total mean score of life skills was (3.69±0.64); the total mean score of psychological resilience was (3.66±0.69). Statistically significant differences in subjective well being scores were found among students grouped by gender, grade, school stage, residential city, living with parents or living with siblings ( t/F =4.14, 53.92, 14.53, 49.99, 13.49, 2.18, all P <0.01). Stratified regression analyses were performed by gender (adjusting for school stage, residential city and living arrangement) and by school stage (adjusting for gender, residential city and living arrangement), the regression results indicated that life skills of boys, girls, primary school students and junior high school students( β =0.54, 0.53, 0.50, 0.57) and their psychological resilience ( β = 0.56 , 0.60, 0.56, 0.60) were positively associated with subjective well being (all P <0.01).
Conclusions
Life skills and psychological resilience may be important protective factors for subjective well being among primary and secondary school students. School based mental health education should emphasize life skills training and resilience building to promote students subjective well being.

As one of the common systemic vasculitides in children, IgA vasculitis is closely associated with the interaction of "Wind pathogen" and "turbid stasis" in its pathogenesis. Based on the blood turbidity theory, this paper proposes "wind agitating blood turbidity and collateral damage" as the core pathogenesis. Regarding treatment, the sequential therapeutic principle of "stanch bleeding, activating blood circulation, and nourishing blood" is adopted, and combined with the dynamic application of wind-dispelling medicinals to "expel, search, and guard against wind", turbidity-removing method is applied throughout all stages. In the acute stage,it is recommended to clear heat and purify turbidity, stanch bleeding and secure the collaterals. In the prolonged stage, the method of dissipating stasis and clearing up turbidity should be used, as well as activating blood circulation and unblocking the collaterals. In the recovery stage, it is advised to nourish blood to flourish the collaterals, reinforce healthy qi and resolve turbidity. This therapeutic system integrates the elimination of pathogens and the reinforcement of healthy qi to clear and resolve blood turbidity, ultimately achieving holistic collateral repair through securing, unblocking, and nourishing the collaterals, which provides new insights into the treatment of this disease in traditional Chinese medicine.

ObjectiveTo analyze the detected results of CD4+T lymphocytes and viral load in newly identified human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients in Huangpu District of Shanghai in 2023, to explore the correlation between them, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of targeted prevention and control measures and antiviral treatment programs. MethodsThe data of CD4 cell count, viral load and demographic characteristics of the newly infected patients living with HIV in Huangpu District, Shanghai in 2023 were collected and analyzed by using descriptive epidemiological method. ResultsThe mean CD4 cell count of the 67 newly identified HIV infected patients in Huangpu District was (301.22±235.19) cells·µL-1, with a mean viral load of (5.15±1.28) ×105 copies·mL-1.There were statistically significant differences in CD4 cell count and viral load among different age groups (P<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences by gender and marital status (both P>0.05). The CD4 cell count and CD4/CD8 ratio both were negatively correlated with the lg value of viral load (r=-0.290, -0.378; P=0.027, 0.002). ConclusionThe CD4 cell counts of the newly identified HIV infected patients in Huangpu District in 2023 were generally low, the proportion of patients with high viral load was high, but the risk for elderly infected with HIV was high. The elderly have gradually become the key population for AIDS prevention and control in Huangpu District. It is recommended to expand HIV screening in the elderly to reduce the risk of HIV transmission and increase the rate of early detection and treatment.

Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2025;52(2):487-500
ObjectiveAt present, the most commonly used photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy are still chemical photosensitizers, such as porphyrin and methylene blue, in order to specifically target cellular tissues, and thus poison cells, chemical photosensitizers need to use antibody conjugation or a transgenically encoded tag with affinity for the modified photosensitizing ligand, e.g. FlAsH, ReAsh or Halo Tag. Gene-encoded photosensitizers can directly poison cells by targeting specific cell compartments or organelles. However, currently developed gene-encoded photosensitizers have low reactive oxygen species production and low cytotoxicity, so it is necessary to continue to develop and obtain photosensitizers with higher reactive oxygen species production for the treatment of microbial infections and tumors. MethodsIn this study, we developed a photosensitizer LovPSO2 based on the light-oxygen-voltage (LOV) structural domain of phototropin-1B-like from Oryza sativa japonica. LovPSO2 was expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) and purified to obtain protein samples, the purified protein samples were added 3 µmol/L singlet oxygen probe of SOSG and 5 µmol/L superoxide anion probe of DHE after fixed to A445=0.063±0.003, respectively, then measured every 2 min of singlet oxygen production for 10 min and every 1 min of superoxide anion production for 5 min under blue light irradiation at 445 nm, 70 µmol·m-2·s-1. ResultsThe results showed that LovPSO2 could produce a large amount of singlet oxygen under blue light irradiation at 445 nm, 70 µmol·m-2·s-1, and its singlet oxygen quantum yield was 0.61, but its superoxide anion yield was low, so in order to improve the superoxide anion yield of LovPSO2, a mutant with a relatively high superoxide anion yield was obtained by further development and design on its basis LovPRO2. The stability of proteins is crucial for research in drug development and drug delivery, among others. Temperature and light are the key factors affecting the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by photosensitive proteins and their stability, while the temperature in cell culture and mammals in vivo is about 37°C, and the temperature inside tumor cells is about 42-45°C. Therefore, we further analyzed the photostability of miniSOG, SOPP3, LovPSO2, and LovPRO2 and their thermostability at 37℃ and 45℃. The analysis of proteins thermostability showed that LovPSO2 and LovPRO2 had better thermostability at 37℃ and 45℃, respectively. Analysis of the photostability of the proteins showed that LovPRO2 had better photostability. In addition, to further determine the phototoxic effects of photosensitizers, LovPSO2 and LovPRO2 were expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) and HeLa cells, respectively. The results showed that LovPSO2 and LovPRO2 had better phototoxicity to E. coli BL21(DE3) under blue light irradiation, and the cellular phototoxicity lethality was as high as 90% after 30 min of continuous light irradiation, but the phototoxicity was weaker in HeLa cells. The reason for this result may be that the intracellular environment exacerbated the photobleaching of FMN encapsulated by LovPSO2 and LovPRO2, respectively, which attenuated the damage of reactive oxygen species to animal cellular tissues, limiting its use as a mechanistic tool to study oxidative stress. ConclusionLovPSO2 and LovPRO2 can be used as antibacterial photosensitizers, which have broader application prospects in the food and medical fields.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effect and safety of Chinese medicine (CM) Fuzheng Huazhuo Decoction (FHD) in treating patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who persistently tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
METHODS:
This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Shanghai New International Expo Center shelter hospital in China between April 1 and May 30, 2022. Patients diagnosed as COVID-19 with persistently positive SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test results for ⩾8 days after diagnosis were enrolled. Patients in the control group received conventional Western medicine (WM) treatment, while those in the FHD group received conventional WM plus FHD for at least 3 days. The primary outcome was viral clearance time. Secondary outcomes included negative conversion rate within 14 days, length of hospital stay, cycle threshold (Ct) values of the open reading frame 1ab (ORF1ab) and nucleocapsid protein (N) genes, and incidence of new-onset symptoms during hospitalization. Adverse events (AEs) that occurred during the study period were recorded.
RESULTS:
A total of 1,765 eligible patients were enrolled in this study (546 in the FHD group and 1,219 in the control group). Compared with the control group, patients receiving FHD treatment showed shorter viral clearance time for nucleic acids [hazard ratio (HR): 1.500, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.353-1.664, P<0.001] and hospital stays (HR: 1.371, 95% CI: 1.238-1.519, P<0.001), and a higher negative conversion rate within 14 days (96.2% vs. 82.6%, P<0.001). The incidence of new-onset symptoms was 59.5% in the FHD group, similar to 57.8% in the control group (P>0.05). The Ct values of ORF1ab and N genes increased more rapidly over time in the FHD group than those in the control group post-randomization (ORF1ab gene: β =0.436±0.053, P<0.001; N gene: β =0.415 ±0.053, P<0.001). The incidence of AEs in the FHD group was lower than that in the control group (24.2% vs. 35.4%, P<0.001). No serious AEs were observed.
CONCLUSION
FHD was effective and safe for patients with persistently positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests. (Registration No. ChiCTR2200063956).
