OBJECTIVE To investigate the ameliorative effect and mechanism of short-acting exenatide on diabetic cognitive dysfunction. METHODS Spontaneously diabetic db / db mice were randomly divided into model group （normal saline） and exenatide group （50 μg/kg）， with db / m mice as the normal control group （normal saline）， with 8 mice in each group. Mice in each group were subcutaneously injected with corresponding drugs or normal saline twice daily for 8 consecutive weeks. Body weight and fasting blood glucose were measured at a fixed time every week. Cognitive function was evaluated by Morris water maze test. The levels of oxidative st ress indicators [malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione （GSH） ] ， cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP） and protein kinase A （PKA） were detected in hippocampus tissue of mice. The hippocampal neuronal HT22 cells of mice were divided into control group （25 mmol/L glucose）， high glucose group （125 mmol/L glucose）， high glucose+exenatide group （125 mmol/L glucose+20 nmol/L exenatide）， high glucose+exenatide+H89 （PKA inhibitor） group （125 mmol/L glucose+20 nmol/L exenatide+10 μmol/L H89）， and high glucose+H89 group （125 mmol/L glucose+10 μmol/L H89）. After 48 h of intervention with corresponding solutions/culture medium， the levels of oxidative stress indicators， cAMP and PKA， the activities of mitochondrial respiratory enzymes Ⅱ and Ⅳ， and the phosphorylation level of dynamin-related protein 1 （Drp1） were measured. RESULTS Animal experiments showed that compared with the normal control group， the model group exhibited significantly increased body weight， fasting blood glucose and MDA level in the hippocampus （ P ＜0.05）， as well as significantly prolonged escape latency （ P ＜0.05）； swimming speed significantly slowed down， the time spent in the target quadrant， the number of platform crossings， and the levels of SOD， GSH， cAMP and PKA in the hippocampus were significantly decreased （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with model group， all the above indicators （except for swimming speed） in the exenatide group were significantly reversed （ P ＜0.05）. Cell experiments showed that compared with high glucose group， the high glucose+exenatide group had significantly decreased MDA level （ P ＜0.05）， and significantly increased levels of SOD， GSH， cAMP and PKA， the activities of mitochondrial respiratory enzymes Ⅱ and Ⅳ， and phosphorylation level of Drp1 （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with high glucose+exenatide group， the above indicators in the high glucose+exenatide+H89 group were significantly reversed （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Short-acting exenatide can activate the cAMP/PKA pathway， promote Drp1 phosphorylation， and increase the activities of mitochondrial respiratory enzymes， thereby maintaining mitochondrial stability， reducing oxidative stress injury， and ultimately improving diabetic cognitive dysfunction.

Peptide-based radiopharmaceuticals targeting integrin α5β1 show promise for precise tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, current peptide-based radioligands that target α5β1 demonstrate inadequate in vivo performance owing to limited tumor retention. The use of PEGylation to enhance the tumor retention of radiopharmaceuticals by prolonging blood circulation time poses a risk of increased blood toxicity. Therefore, a PEGylation strategy that boosts tumor retention while minimizing blood circulation time is urgently needed. Here, we developed a PEGylation-enabled peptide multidisplay platform (PEGibody) for PR_b, an α5β1 targeting peptide. PEGibody generation involved PEGylation and self-assembly. [⁶⁴Cu]QM-2303 PEGibodies displayed spherical nanoparticles ranging from 100 to 200 nm in diameter. Compared with non-PEGylated radioligands, [⁶⁴Cu]QM-2303 demonstrated enhanced tumor retention time due to increased binding affinity and stability. Importantly, the biodistribution analysis confirmed rapid clearance of [⁶⁴Cu]QM-2303 from the bloodstream. Administration of a single dose of [¹⁷⁷Lu]QM-2303 led to robust antitumor efficacy. Furthermore, [⁶⁴Cu]/[¹⁷⁷Lu]QM-2303 exhibited low hematological and organ toxicity in both healthy and tumor-bearing mice. Therefore, this study presents a PEGibody-based radiotheranostic approach that enhances tumor retention time and provides long-lasting antitumor effects without prolonging blood circulation lifetime. The PEGibody-based radiopharmaceutical [⁶⁴Cu]/[¹⁷⁷Lu]QM-2303 shows great potential for positron emission tomography imaging-guided targeted radionuclide therapy for α5β1-overexpressing tumors.

The activation proteins released by fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment regulate tumor growth, migration, and treatment response, thereby influencing tumor progression and therapeutic outcomes. Owing to the proliferation and metastasis of tumors, fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is typically highly expressed in the tumor stroma, whereas it is nearly absent in adult normal tissues and benign lesions, making it an attractive target for precision medicine. Radiolabeled agents targeting FAP have the potential for targeted cancer diagnosis and therapy. This comprehensive review aims to describe the evolution of FAPI-based radiopharmaceuticals and their structural optimization. Within its scope, this review summarizes the advances in the use of radiolabeled small molecule inhibitors for tumor imaging and therapy as well as the modification strategies for FAPIs, combined with insights from structure-activity relationships and clinical studies, providing a valuable perspective for radiopharmaceutical clinical development and application.

Objective To observe the effect of ropivacaine combined with dexmedetomidine in serratus anterior plane block on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.Methods Ninety patients scheduled for modified radical mastectomy in this hospital from May to October 2023 were divided in-to three groups by using random number table method:the R0.375 group,the DR0.375 group and the R0.500 group,with 30 cases in each group.All the three groups received serratus anterior plane block before surgery.The R0.375 group was injected with 20 mL of 0.375%ropivacaine,the DR0.375 group with 20 mL of a mix-ture of 0.375%ropivacaine and 1.0 μg/kg dexmedetomidine,and the R0.500 group with 20 mL of 0.500%ropivacaine.All patients received opioid-based patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump after surgery.The numerical rating scale(NRS)was used to assess resting and movement pain at 1,2,6,12 and 24 hours postoperatively,and the pain-time area under the curve(AUC)was calculated.Postoperative opioid consump-tion,time of first analgesic drugs use were recoreded;sedation status at 1 hour postoperatively was evaluated by the American society of anesthesiologists(ASA)grading,quality of life at 24 hours postoperatively was as-sessed by the 15-item quality of recovery(QoR-15)scale,and postoperative adverse reactions were recorded.Results Compared with the R0.375 group,AUC of the resting pain-time and movement pain-time and the opioid consumption at 12 and 24 hours postoperatively of the DR0.375 group and the R0.500 groups were re-duced(P<0.05),while QoR-15 score after surgery was increased(P<0.05).The time of first analgesic drugs use in the R0.500 group was significantly longer than that in the R0.375 group(P<0.05).At one hour after surgery,all the three groups were evaluated as having mild to moderate sedation,with no statistical-ly significant differences among groups(P>0.05).There were also no statistically significant differences in the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions among the three groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Dexmedeto-midine can significantly improve the analgesic effect of low-concentration ropivacaine in serratus anterior plane block and reduce postoperative opioid consumption.

Objective: To develop an assessment tool for risky road behavior tendencies among middle school students in western China, as well as to determine the relevant indices and their weights, so as to provide the reference for road safety prevention and control for middle school students in western China. Methods: A Delphi study was employed to construct the assessment tool for risky road behavior tendencies among middle school students in western China. In August 2023, eighteen experts in related fields such as traffic safety, education, and healthcare were invited to achieve Delphi consensus. The final indices were initially selected based on the consulting results,followed by the determination of their individual and combined weights using the analytic hierarchy process. Results: The finalized assessment tool comprised 3 primary indicators, 13 secondary indicators, and 100 tertiary indicators. The positivity coefficient of experts was 100%, accompanied by the authority coefficient 0.90. The mean importance scores for the three primary indicators varied from 4.67 to 4.78, while those for the 13 secondary indicators ranged from 4.22 to 4.89. The Kendall coefficient W was statistically significant at 0.32 ( χ 2=96.83, P <0.05). The weights assigned to the three primary indicators were:ability (0.329 4), opportunity (0.337 3), and motivation (0.333 3). The secondary indicators with the top three highest combined weights were social influence (0.027 4), knowledge (0.027 3), and skills (0.026 7). Conclusions The assessment tool for risky road behavior tendencies among middle school students in western China demonstrates high expert consensus, with balanced weighting of primary and secondary indicators. Expanded use of the assessment tool would provide the data support for intervention work.

IKBKG is the essential modulator for nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) signaling pathway, and mutations within this gene can lead to anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and immunodeficiency (EDA-ID). Here we report a male patient, who presented with mild frontal bossing, sparse hair, skin pigmentation, conical teeth, and recurrent infections involving bacteria, fungi, and viruses after one month of age, together with hypogammaglobulinemia. These symptoms were consistent with the phenotype of EDA-ID. Genetic analysis revealed a hemizygous mutation c.1249T > G (p.Cys417Gly) in exon 10 of the IKBKG gene in the patient. The mother of the patient was identified as heterozygous carriers of the same mutation. Immunological assessment revealed a significant reduction in memory B cells. The patient showed no skewed TCR diversity. PHA-induced T-cell proliferation was impaired. IFN-γ secretion by Th cells was significantly reduced after PHA stimulation. IκBα degradation rate retained the same in the patient. We summarized the clinical features of the patient and conducted immunological analysis, in order to increase pediatricians′awareness of this rare disease. For boys with early-onset recurrent infections together with ectodermal dysplasia, IKBKG mutation should be considered. In addition, genetic analysis is needed to exclude pseudogene interference and functional evaluations are required.

Oral diseases concern almost every individual and are a serious health risk to the popula-tion.The restorative treatment of tooth and jaw defects is an important means to achieve oral function and support the appearance of the contour.Based on the principle of"learning from the nature",Deng Xu-liang's group of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology has proposed a new concept of"microstructural biomimetic design and tissue adaptation of tooth/jaw materials"to address the worldwide problems of difficulty in treating dentine hypersensitivity,poor prognosis of restoration of tooth defects,and vertical bone augmentation of alveolar bone after tooth loss.The group has broken through the bottle-neck of multi-stage biomimetic technology from the design of microscopic features to the enhancement of macroscopic effects,and invented key technologies such as crystalline/amorphous multi-level assembly,ion-transportation blocking,and multi-physical properties of the micro-environment reconstruction,etc.The group also pioneered the cationic-hydrogel desensitizer,digital stump and core integrated restora-tions,and developed new crown and bridge restorative materials,gradient functionalisation guided tissue regeneration membrane,and electrically responsive alveolar bone augmentation restorative membranes,etc.These products have established new clinical strategies for tooth/jaw defect repair and achieved inno-vative results.In conclusion,the research results of our group have strongly supported the theoretical im-provement of stomatology,developed the technical system of oral hard tissue restoration,innovated the clinical treatment strategy,and led the progress of the stomatology industry.

Objective:To explore the anti-inflammatory effect and safety of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.Methods:A randomized, double-blind, clinical trial was conducted.A total of 90 age-related cataract patients (90 eyes) who were diagnosed in Qingdao Eye Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University were enrolled from October 2020 to February 2021.The patients were randomized to diclofenac sodium group and bromofenac sodium group by random number table method, with 45 cases (45 eyes) in each group.All patients underwent phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation, and 0.1% diclofenac sodium eye drops (preservative-free), 4 times a day, and 0.1% pramiphene eye drops, 2 times a day were applied in the perioperative period.The duration of continuous medication treatment and follow-up time were 6 weeks.The subjective symptoms of the patients were scored before and after surgery.The amount of tear fluid secretion was detected by Schirmer I test, and the tear film breakup time was recorded with the Oculus dry eye analyzer.Corneal fluorescein staining was observed under a slit lamp microscope with cobalt blue light.Anterior chamber flash was measured by slit-lamp biomicroscopy.The thickness of central macular area and the presence of macular cystoid edema was measured by optical coherence tomography.Visual acuity, noncontact intraocular pressure (IOP) and the drug safety were examined and evaluated.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Qingdao Eye Hospital (No.[2020]60).All patients were informed about the surgery and postoperative medication and signed the informed consent form.Results:All subjects had no intraoperative complications, and completed treatment and follow-up as required.The preoperative, 1-day postoperative, 1-week postoperative, 6-week postoperative subjective symptom scores were (0.47±0.73), (0.56±0.62), (0.33±0.48), and (0.51±0.66) points in the diclofenac group, and (0.47±0.51), (0.75±0.61), (0.64±0.65), and (0.78±0.77) points in the bromfenac group.There were statistically significant differences in the subjective symptom scores at different time points between the two groups ( Fgroup=5.001, P=0.028; Ftime=2.920, P=0.035), and the subjective symptom scores of diclofenac sodium group were significantly lower than those of bromofenac sodium group (all at P<0.05).The preoperative, 1-week postoperative, 6-week postoperative tear secretion volume were (5.87±2.37), (6.07±2.53), and (6.29±0.25) mm in diclofenac sodium group, and (7.36±2.74), (6.29±3.46), and (5.80±2.76) mm in bromofenac sodium group.There was statistically significant difference in the tear secretion volume between the two groups before surgery ( F=6.910, P=0.012), but there was no significant difference on postoperative weeks 1 and 6 ( F=1.121, 0.772; P=0.729, 0.384).The preoperative, 1-week postoperative, 6-week postoperative non-invasive tear break-up time (NIBUT) were (8.00±6.28), (6.68±5.24), and (6.17±5.00) seconds in diclofenac sodium group, and (6.40±5.28), (4.50±2.46), and (5.39±5.39) seconds in bromofenac sodium group.There was no significant difference in NIBUT between the two groups ( Fgroup=3.415, P=0.068).There was significant difference in NIBUT within groups among different time points ( Ftime=4.358, P=0.020).The 1-day postoperative, 1-week postoperative, 6-week postoperative corneal epithelial staining score were (1.40±0.81), (0.13±0.34), (0.00±0.00) points in diclofenac sodium group, and (1.38±0.89), (0.22±0.47), and (0.00±0.00) points in bromofenac sodium group.There was no statistically significant difference in the corneal epithelial staining score between the two groups after surgery ( Fgroup=0.110, P=0.741).There were statistically significant differences in corneal epithelial staining scores within groups among different time points ( Ftime=175.054, P<0.01).The 1-day postoperative, 1-week postoperative, 6-week postoperative anterior chamber flare classification were 1.13±0.51, 0.13±0.34, and 0.00±0.00 in diclofenac sodium group, and 1.02±0.34, 0.16±0.37, and 0.00±0.00 in bromofenac sodium group.There was no significant difference in the overall anterior chamber flash between the two groups ( Fgroup=0.045, P=0.507).There were statistically significant differences in anterior chamber flash within groups among different time points ( Ftime=322.331, P<0.001).There was no significant difference in the preoperative and 6-week postoperative macular fovea thickness between both groups ( t=-0.221, -0.374; both at P>0.05).The incidence of macular cystoid edema 6 weeks after operation was 0% in both groups.Subjects tolerated the two tested drugs well.Eight adverse events occurred in this study, all of which were mild postoperative IOP elevation, including 3 in diclofenac sodium group with an incidence of 6.67% and 5 in bromofenac group with an incidence of 11.1%.IOP returned to normal in all the patients 1 week after stopping the use of drug. Conclusions:Two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are safe and effective for anti-inflammatory treatment after cataract phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation.The new diclofenac sodium eye drops are more comfortable than bromfenac sodium eye drops.

A 37-year-old woman with obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome(OAPS)was admitted to hospital due to poorly controlled hypertensive.After admission,the patient's blood pressure fluctuated greatly(152-161/100-112mmHg),platelet count decreased progressively(65x109·L-1),with lactate dehydrogenase of 367 U·L-1,alanine aminotransferase of 121.8 U·L-1,and aspartate aminotransferase of 89 U·L-1,and the disease progressed to HELLP syndrome.The clinical pharmacists participated in the treatment of this patient,combined the patient's risk of thrombosis and bleeding,changes in platelet count,and pharmacokinetic characteristics of anticoagulant drugs to assist clinicians in formulating the individualized anticoagulant treatment plan in the perinatal period,and promptly stopped and started anticoagulant drugs,which effectively prevented the patient from the occurrence of thrombosis and postpartum hemorrhage complications.Meanwhile,based on evidence-based pharmacology,the clinical pharmacists analyzed the key points of pharmacological care for such patients during pregnancy and lactation.The standardized use of OAPS treatment drugs,such as hydroxychloroquine,aspirin and prednesone,have more advantages than disadvantages during pregnancy,but the corresponding adverse reactions need to be closely monitored.Enoxaparin does not accumulate in milk and can be used safely during lactation.The clinical pharmacists play an important role in guaranteeing the safety and effectiveness of medication for pregnant and lactation patients.
