With the widespread application of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, cardiotoxicity associated with anti-tumor treatment has gained increasing attention. Drug-induced cardiac injury can significantly impact patients’ quality of life and may even limit the overall efficacy of anti-tumor therapy. The underlying mechanisms include oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and immune dysregulation. Owing to multitarget effects, low toxicity, and holistic regulatory properties, Chinese traditional medicines have demonstrated considerable potential in cardioprotection. This review summarizes the principal mechanisms of drug-induced myocardial injury related to anti-tumor therapy and highlights recent advances in the prevention and treatment of cardiotoxicity using Chinese medical formulae, such as compound danshen dripping pills, nuanxinkang, qili qiangxin capsules, and shengmai powder, as well as their bioactive constituents. The cardioprotective effects of these agents are discussed in terms of their antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and mitochondrial-protective actions. Furthermore, it highlights certain traditional medicines that exhibit unique advantages in synergistic cardioprotective and anti-tumor therapy. Future efforts should focus on well-designed, systematic clinical studies to facilitate the translational application of integrated Chinese and Western medicine in cardio-oncology.

ObjectiveTo establish an ultra-performance liquid fingerprint and multi-components determination method for Naomaili granules. To evaluate the quality of different batches by chemometrics， and the anti-neuroinflammatory effects of water extract and main components of Naomaili granules were tested in vitro. MethodsThe similarity and common peaks of 27 batches of Naomaili granules were evaluated by using Ultra performance liquid chromatography （UPLC） fingerprint detection. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS） technology was used to determine the content of the index components in Naomaili granules and to evaluate the quality of different batches of Naomaili granules by chemometrics. LPS-induced BV-2 cell inflammation model was used to investigate the anti-neuroinflammatory effects of the water extract and main components of Naomaili granules. ResultsThe similarity of fingerprints of 27 batches of samples was > 0.90. A total of 32 common peaks were calibrated， and 23 of them were identified and assigned. In 27 batches of Naomaili granules， the mass fractions of 14 components that were stachydrine hydrochloride， leonurine hydrochloride， calycosin-7-O-glucoside， calycosin，tanshinoneⅠ， cryptotanshinone， tanshinoneⅡ_A， ginsenoside Rb₁， notoginsenoside R₁， ginsenoside Rg₁， paeoniflorin， albiflorin， lactiflorin， and salvianolic acid B were found to be 2.902-3.498， 0.233-0.343， 0.111-0.301， 0.07-0.152， 0.136-0.228， 0.195-0.390， 0.324-0.482， 1.056-1.435， 0.271-0.397， 1.318-1.649， 3.038-4.059， 2.263-3.455， 0.152-0.232， 2.931-3.991 mg∙g^-1， respectively. Multivariate statistical analysis showed that paeoniflorin， ginsenoside Rg₁， ginsenoside Rb₁ and staphylline hydrochloride were quality difference markers to control the stability of the preparation. The results of bioactive experiment showed that the water extract of Naomaili granules and the eight main components with high content in the prescription had a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the release of NO in the cell supernatant. Among them， salvianolic acid B and ginsenoside Rb₁ had strong anti-inflammatory activity， with IC₅₀ values of （36.11±0.15） mg∙L^-1 and （27.24±0.54） mg∙L^-1， respectively. ConclusionThe quality evaluation method of Naomaili granules established in this study was accurate and reproducible. Four quality difference markers were screened out， and eight key pharmacodynamic substances of Naomaili granules against neuroinflammation were screened out by in vitro cell experiments.

Objective: To understand the impact of childhood trauma on psychological distress among upper grade elemetary school students, and to explore the mediating role of leisure activities in the relationship, so as to provide a basis for developing mental health intervention strategies. Methods: From August to November 2024, a combination of convenience sampling and stratified cluster random sampling was employed to recruit 1 373 fourth to sixth grade students from four primary schools in Harbin. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire(CTQ), a self designed leisure activity scale (including active and passive leisure activities), and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) were used to assess childhood trauma experiences, leisure activities, and levels of psychological distress. Spearman correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were conducted to explore the relationships among childhood trauma, leisure types, leisure time, and psychological distress. Based on the mediation analysis framework proposed by Hayes (Model 4), the mediating role of leisure types in the relationship between childhood trauma and psychological distress was examined. Results: Totally 19.1% of the upper elemetary school students exhibited psychological distress, while 30.2% had experienced childhood trauma. During school days, 64.6% of the students were reported of having leisure time concentrated between 1 and 5 hours per day, whereas 67.4% reported leisure time exceeding 5 hours per day on weekends. After controlling for potential demographic confounders such as gender, grade, ethnicity, household registration, being an only child, parents educational level, co residence, and whether parents are first time married,linear regression analysis showed that childhood trauma experience had positive predictive effect on psychological distress in upper primary school students( β =0.20, P <0.01). Leisure time showed no statistically significant association with psychological distress, both on school days ( β =-0.58 to -0.56) and weekends ( β =0.26- 0.98 )(all P >0.05). Active leisure activities were negatively associated with psychological distress ( β =-0.20), while passive leisure activities were positively associated with psychological distress ( β =0.29)(both P <0.01). Leisure type partially mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and psychological distress, accounting for 11.7% of the indirect effect. Conclusion Childhood trauma experiences positively predict psychological distress in upper elementary school students, and affect psychological distress through active leisure and passive leisure.

BackgroundPatients with colorectal cancer are frequently comorbid with depression， which severely affects the quality of life and treatment compliance， while compromising the efficacy of anticancer treament and prognosis. Current therapeutic strategies still have notable limitations， particularly the lack of systematic and targeted synergistic regimens that integrate oncological management and anti-depressive intervention. It is of great clinical significance to explore a safe and effective new comprehensive intervention protocol and clarify its underlying mechanism of action. ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness and safety of Shugan Yunpi Decoction in alleviating depressive and anxiety symptoms in colorectal cancer patients with depressive disorder through the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway， in order to provide references for the comprehensive treatment of colorectal cancer and depressive disorder. MethodsThis study was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 106 patients admitted to the Baoding No.1 Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine from November 2023 to July 2025 were enrolled， who met the diagnostic criteria for the Chinese protocol of diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer （2023 edition） and the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder as specified in the Chinese Classification and Diagnostic Criteria of Mental Disease， third edition （CCMD-3）. Patients were divided into the study group and the control group using a random number table， with 53 cases in each group. The control group received conventional chemotherapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine five-element music therapy， while the study group received conventional chemotherapy combined with Shugan Yunpi Decoction therapy. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item（HAMD-17） and Hamilton Anxiety Scale （HAMA）， respectively. Western blot protein immunoblotting was used to detect the expression levels of PI3K， AKT， and pAKT. Real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （qRT-PCR） was used to detect the expression levels of PI3K mRNA and AKT mRNA. Adverse reactions were recorded using a self-designed adverse reaction record form. ResultsRepeated measures analysis of variance showed that the time effects （F=139.336， 234.747）， group effects （F=43.900， 101.266）， and time-group interaction effects （F=13.409， 43.216） for HAMD-17 and HAMA scores in both groups were statistically significant （P<0.01）. After 4 and 8 weeks of treatment， the HAMD-17 and HAMA scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment， with statistically significant differences （P<0.05）. HAMD-17 and HAMA scores in the study group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）. The time effects （F=571.356， 309.266， 414.492）， group effects （F=6.901， 26.361， 39.362）， and time-group interaction effects （F=18.592， 19.266， 33.484） for the protein expression levels of PI3K， AKT， and pAKT in both groups were all statistically significant （P<0.01）. After 8 weeks of treatment， the protein expression levels of PI3K and pAKT in the study group were lower than those in the control group， while the AKT protein expression level was higher than that in the control group（P<0.01）. The time effects （F=338.555， 225.059）， group effects （F=5.429， 9.726）， and time-group interaction effects （F=12.953， 21.214） for PI3K mRNA and AKT mRNA expression levels in two groups were all statistically significant （P<0.01）. After 8 weeks of treatment， the expression levels of PI3K mRNA and AKT mRNA in the study group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）. The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was lower than that in the control group （χ²=4.810， P<0.05）. ConclusionShugan Yunpi Decoction may help to ameliorate depressive and anxiety symptoms in colorectal cancer patients with depressive disorder by regulating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway， decreasing the levels of PI3K， pAKT， PI3K mRNA， and AKT mRNA， with a favorable safety profile. ［Funded by Baoding City Science and Technology Planning Project （number， 2341ZF291）］

OBJECTIVE To explore the correlation between phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase alpha(PIK3CA)gene mutation and the clinicopathological characteristics of Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)infection in patients with gastric cancer.METHODS Cancer tissue samples were collected from 593 patients with gastric cancer who under-went surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University between Sep.2021 and Sep.2024.EBV infection in pa-tients with gastric cancer was detected by EBV-encoded RNA(EBER)in situ hybridization.Based on the detec-tion results,patients were divided into an EBV-positive group(n=31)and an EBV-negative group(n=562).The incidence of EBV-infected gastric cancer was compared among patients of different genders and ages.The relationship between EBV infection and PIK 3CA gene mutation,as well as clinicopathological character-istics of patients with gastric cancer,was analyzed.Spearman's correlation analysis was used to assess the correla-tion between PIK3CA gene mutation and EBV infection in patients with gastric cancer.RESULTS Among the 593 gastric cancer cases,31 were EBER-positive,with a positive rate of 5.23％.EBER showed scattered dot scope or diffuse staining,appearing as a dark brown signal localized in the nucleus.The PIK3CA gene mutation rate was higher in the EBV-positive group(32.26％)than in the EBV-negative group(P＜0.001).PIK3CA gene muta-tions mainly occurred in exons 9 and 20,with 2 cases of p.E542K mutation,5 cases of p.E545K mutation,1 case of pH1047L mutation,no cases of p.H1047R mutation were detected.The proportion of patients with tumors at the esophagogastric junction,T3-T4 invasion depth,and lymph node metastasis was higher in the EBV-positive group than in the EBV-negative group(P＜0.05).There was a positive correlation between PIK 3CA gene muta-tion and EBV infection in patients with gastric cancer(r=0.742,P=0.026).The proportion of EBV infection was higher in male patients with gastric cancer(6.49％)than in females(P＜0.001).CONCLUSIONS The inci-dence of EBV-infected gastric cancer is low,but it is closely related to PIK3CA gene mutation,gender,tumor lo-cation,invasion depth and lymph node metastasis in patients with gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the occurrence characteristics and risk factors of adverse drug reactions(ADR)of gemcitabine for injection in national centralized volume-based procurement(hereinafter referred to as"centralized procurement"),and provide reference for clinical safe drug use.METHODS A retrospective study was conducted to collect the relevant case reports of gemcitabine for injection reported to the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from January 2022 to December 2023;basic information of patients,drug use status,patient outcomes,rational drug use and other information were collected,and the occurrence characteristics of ADRs with leukopenia,myelosuppression,neutropenia,thrombocytopenia and liver dysfunction were analyzed.Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation of gender,age,combination of antitumor drugs,original malignant tumor and drug dose with ADR.RESULTS A total of 315 cases reports(315 patients)of gemcitabine-induced ADR were included in this study,with a male-to-female ratio of 1.42∶1 and age of(61.17±9.13)years.The primary malignant tumor was pancreatic cancer(73 cases,23.17%).Leukopenia,myelosuppression and nausea were the most common ADR,followed by neutropenia,thrombocytopenia,liver dysfunction and so on.The severity grade of ADR was mainly 1-2,and the outcome of most ADR was good.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that combination of antitumor drugs was a risk factor for myelosuppression and neutropenia(RR=2.154,95%CI:1.218-3.807,P=0.008;RR=3.099,95%CI:1.240-7.744,P=0.016);gender(female)was a risk factor for leukopenia and liver dysfunction(RR=0.508,95%CI:0.302-0.853,P=0.010;RR=0.301,95%CI:0.102-0.887,P=0.029).In terms of drug use rationality,there were 143 cases(45.40%)of drug use in accordance with the indications of the label,and 172 cases(54.60%)of off-label drug use.Among them,the primary malignant tumors were bladder cancer,bile duct cancer and ovarian cancer,which ranked the top three off-label drug use.CONCLUSIONS The ADR caused by gemcitabine in Inner Mongolia is mainly in the blood and digestive systems.The severity of ADRs is mainly classified as 1-2 levels,and most ADRs have good outcomes.Gender(female)and combination medication are risk factors for gemcitabine-induced ADR.Appropriate chemotherapy regimen should be selected according to the patient's condition and physical condition,and ADR monitoring in blood and digestive systems should be strengthened during medication of gemcitabine.

Akkermansia muciniphila, a probiotic is discovered years earlier, colonizes the human intestinal mucosa. In recent years, researchers have found the correlation between Akkermansia muciniphila and progression of kidney diseases based on the theory of the gut-kidney axis. The abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila in the gut changes during the onset, regression and treatment of renal diseases such as congenital nephrology, chronic kidney disease, complications after renal transplantation. The research on the correlation between Akkermansia muciniphila and renal diseases is still in the initial stage. The review introduces the research progress on the role of Akkermansia muciniphila in renal diseases from three aspects: the biological characteristics of Akkermansia muciniphila, the abundance change in the progression of renal diseases, and their biological effects to provide references for the following research on the mechanisms of Akkermansia muciniphila in renal diseases and the application of clinical renal disease treatment.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, prognosis, and the impact of different secondary prevention strategies on stroke recurrence in patients with carotid web (CaW)-associated acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 401 patients with acute anterior circulation LVO who underwent mechanical thrombectomy at 2 advanced stroke centers, Xingtai Central Hospital and Xingtai People′s Hospital, from January 2018 to June 2024. CaW was identified using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and other imaging modalities. Based on the presence of CaW, patients were divided into CaW group and non-CaW group. Differences between the 2 groups in baseline characteristics, clinical features, and clinical outcomes were compared, and long-term follow-up was conducted for the CaW group.Results:Among the 401 patients, the CaW group consisted of 16 patients (4.0%), while the non-CaW group included 385 patients (96.0%). Compared to the non-CaW group, patients in the CaW group were younger [53 (46, 58) years vs 65 (56, 76) years, Z=-3.811, P<0.001], had a higher proportion of M1 segment middle cerebral artery occlusion [13/16 vs 54.0% (208/385), χ2=4.602, P=0.032] and a lower proportion of internal carotid artery terminus occlusion [1/16 vs 40.0% (154/385), χ2=6.024, P=0.014]; the 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score was significantly lower in the CaW group [1.00 (0, 1.75) vs 3.00 (1.00, 4.00), Z=14.210, P<0.001], and the proportion of patients with favorable functional independence (mRS score 0-2) was significantly higher [15/16 vs 45.7% (176/385), χ2=12.350, P<0.001] in the CaW group; the incidence of pneumonia in the CaW group was significantly lower [2/16 vs 42.6% (164/385), χ2=4.562, P=0.033]. Among the 16 CaW patients, 10 received antiplatelet therapy, 4 underwent carotid artery stenting (CAS), and 2 underwent carotid endarterectomy (CEA). During a median follow-up of 29 months, patients who underwent CAS and CEA had no stroke recurrence, while 2 patients who received antiplatelet therapy had stroke recurrence and subsequently underwent CAS and CEA. Conclusions:The proportion of CaW among patients with acute anterior circulation LVO was 4.0%. The patients with CaW were younger and had a higher proportion of M1 segment middle cerebral artery occlusion. Following mechanical thrombectomy, patients in the CaW group had good functional outcomes. Simple drug therapy may be insufficient to prevent stroke recurrence in CaW patients, and CAS and CEA may be effective therapeutic options.

Objective:To analyze the incidence, clinical characteristics, and prognosis of basilar artery occlusion (BAO) patients presenting with paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) as an initial symptom.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on BAO patients with PSH manifestations who received endovascular treatment at Xingtai Central Hospital between January 2018 and August 2024. Demographic characteristics, clinical data, imaging findings, and follow-up information were collected.Results:A total of 136 BAO patients were included, of whom 22 cases (16.2%) were diagnosed with PSH. The age of the patients was (56.81±9.92) years, with males accounting for 86.4%(19/22). On admission, the Glasgow Coma Scale score was 4(3, 5), and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 30(25, 35). The successful reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction 2b-3) rate was 90.9%(20/22). In-hospital mortality was 50.0%(11/22), symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation occurred in 4.5% (1/22), and any type of intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 9.1%(2/22). Clinical features of PSH included tachycardia, tachypnea, hypertension, fever, diaphoresis, and increased muscle tone. Imaging analysis showed a high proportion of cerebellar (100.0%, 22/22) and midbrain (72.7%, 16/22) involvement. The 90-day follow-up showed that 72.7%(16/22) of the patients had poor functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score of 4-6), and the 90-day mortality rate was 59.1%(13/22).Conclusions:Among patients with BAO undergoing endovascular therapy, the incidence of PSH as the initial manifestation was 16.2%(22/136). These patients were predominantly middle-aged men and commonly presented with tachycardia, tachypnea, hypertension, fever, diaphoresis, and increased muscle tone. Imaging findings mainly involved the cerebellum and midbrain. Despite a relatively high rate of recanalization, patients with PSH exhibited a higher risk of mortality and poor functional outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the developmental trajectories of post-stroke fatigue in patients with cerebral infarction and analyse its influencing factors, thereby providing a theoretical basis for clinical intervention measures.Methods:A cross-sectional survey employed convenience sampling to recruit cerebral infarction patients admitted to Shaoxing Seventh People's Hospital from January to December 2023. Data collection occurred at four time points: 1 day prior to discharge (T1), 1 month post-discharge (T2), three months post-discharge (T3), and six months post-discharge (T4). Data collection comprised general information questionnaires, the Fatigue Severity Scale, the Family Care Index Scale, the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory, and the Disease Uncertainty Scale. Latent class growth models were employed to identify latent trajectories of post-stroke fatigue, with multifactorial logistic regression analysing influencing factors.Results:Data were collected from 260 stroke patients with complete records, comprising 136 males and 124 females aged 40 - 80 years. The incidence of post-stroke fatigue at time points T1 to T4 was 46.92% (122/260), 46.15% (120/260), 45.00% (117/260), and 43.46% (113/260), respectively. The Scores of post-stroke fatigue at time points T1-T4 were (4.56 ± 1.52), (4.25 ± 1.52), (4.18 ± 1.58), (4.09 ± 1.66) respectively, showing an overall slight downward trend in fatigue scores across time points. Results from latent class growth modelling indicated that post-stroke fatigue among cerebral infarction patients could be categorised into three groups: low fatigue (38 cases, C1 group, 14.62%), moderate fatigue decline (136 cases, C2 group, 52.31%), and persistent high fatigue (86 cases, C3 group, 33.08%). Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences among the three groups in age, educational attainment, carotid atherosclerosis, smoking status, family functioning, post-traumatic growth, and disease uncertainty ( χ2/ H/ F values ranging from 11.22 to 18.52, all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that, with C3 group as reference, age ( OR = 0.478, 95% CI 0.255- 0.894), educational attainment ( OR = 3.147, 95% CI 1.558 - 6.359), carotid atherosclerosis ( OR = 0.260, 95% CI 0.094 - 0.722), smoking ( OR = 0.216, 95% CI 0.072 - 0.650), family functioning ( OR = 0.284, 95% CI 0.133 - 0.607), post-traumatic growth score ( OR = 1.115, 95% CI 1.059- 1.174), and disease uncertainty score ( OR = 0.908, 95% CI 0.873 - 0.946) were all factors influencing C1 group (all P<0.05); post-traumatic growth score ( OR = 1.039, 95% CI 1.010 - 1.068) and disease uncertainty score ( OR = 0.965, 95% CI 0.946 - 0.985) were factors influencing C2 group (both P<0.05). The regression model likelihood ratio ( χ2 = 113.73, P<0.001). Conclusions:Post-stroke fatigue in cerebral infarction patients exhibits three distinct developmental trajectories, reflecting population heterogeneity. Clinical practice should prioritise elderly patients, those with lower educational attainment, carotid atherosclerosis, and smoking habits. Targeted interventions to enhance family functioning, improve post-traumatic growth levels, and reduce disease uncertainty may lower the incidence of post-stroke fatigue.
