OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the current management of drug clinical trial institutions in Jiangxi Province and the situation of undertaking drug clinical trials after the implementation of the filing system. METHODS A survey was conducted on 38 new institutions （obtained qualifications during the implementation of the filing system） and old institutions （obtained qualifications during the implementation of the recognition system） that had completed drug clinical trial institution qualification filing for more than one year in Jiangxi Province. The survey focused on the basic information of the institutions， the number of registered principal investigator （PI）， institutional hardware and information construction， personnel allocation and training， and drug registration clinical trials undertaken by the institutions. RESULTS Of 38 institutions surveyed， there were 22 general hospitals and 16 specialized hospitals； there were 24 old institutions and 14 new institutions. Whether in general hospitals or specialized hospitals， the old institutions were better than the new institutions in the number of approved beds， the number of outpatients， the number of inpatients， the number of specialties， and the number of PI； both old and new institutions had separate offices； all new institutions were set up with GCP pharmacy. The adoption of clinical trial management system in new institutions is significantly less than in old institutions. In the general hospital， both the number of full-time managers and the number of quality controllers in old institutions were significantly more than in the new institutions， while the opposite was true at the level of specialized hospitals. In terms of centralized training on GCP， new institutions were all better than the old ones. Whether in general hospitals or specialized hospitals， the number of drug registration clinical trial projects undertaken by new institutions was significantly less than that of old ones. CONCLUSIONS The new institutions are worse than the old institutions in comprehensive strength and information construction of hospitals， and the number of clinical trials undertaken by new institutions is also less than old institutions.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum soluble lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1(sLOX-1)and chitinase-3-like protein 1(CHI3L1)for in-stent restenosis(ISR)in pa-tients with coronary heart disease(CHD)and myocardial bridge after anterior descending stent implantation.Methods A total of 80 patients with CHD and myocardial bridge who underwent anterior descending stent implantation in a hospital from May 2018 to May 2023 were included as the disease group.They were followed up for one year after surgery and separated into ISR group(n=31)and non ISR group(n=49)based on whether ISR occurred on coronary angiography examination.Another 80 CHD patients who received treatment in a hospital were selected as the control group.The levels of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 were detected by en-zyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of ISR after anterior descending stent implantation in patients with CHD combined with myocardial bridge,and to analyze the predictive value of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 for the occurrence of ISR after anterior de-scending stent implantation in patients with CHD combined with myocardial bridge.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 in the disease group increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The levels of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 in the ISR group were high-er than those in the non-ISR group,and the distance of the myocardial bridge proximal to the stent was lower than that in the non-ISR group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Serum sLOX-1,CHI3L1,and the distance of the myocardial bridge proximal to the stent were the influencing factors for the occurrence of ISR after anterior descending stent implantation in patients with CHD combined with myocardi-al bridge(P<0.05).The area under the curve of the combined prediction of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 for the occurrence of ISR after anterior descending stent implantation in patients with CHD complicated with my-ocardial bridge was superior to their individual predictions(Zcombination-sLOX-1=2.502,Zcombination-CHI3L1=2.028,P=0.012,0.043).Conclusion The levels of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 in patients with CHD combined with myocardial bridge are significantly increased.The combined detection of the two has certain predictive value for the occurrence of ISR after anterior descending stent implantation in patients with CHD combined with myocardial bridge.

Objective Genetic testing and prenatal diagnosis were conducted in 18 congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis(CIPA)families,laying the foundation for reducing the incidence of CIPA.Methods Genetic testing was performed using whole-genome sequencing and/or PCR-Sanger sequencing to identify candidate patho-genic vari-ants in the probands.For deep intronic variants,the pathogenicity was validated through minigene assays,RT-PCR,Sanger sequencing,and co-segregation analysis.DNA extracted from chorionic villus or amniotic fluid cells was analyzed by PCR and Sanger sequencing to determine the genotype of the fetuses.Maternal DNA contamination was excluded by microsatellite allele genotyping.Additionally,multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification(MLPA)was employed to detect common chromosomal aneuploidies.Results A total of 21 NTRK1 variants were identified across 18 CIPA pedigrees,including 9 missense variants,2 nonsense variants,5 frameshift variants,and 5 deep intronic variants.Among them,3 were novel pathogenic variants.Prenatal genetic diagnosis was performed in 20 high-risk fetuses,revealing 2 normal fetuses,12 carriers,and 6 affected with CIPA.Microsatellite genotyping confirmed the absence of maternal DNA contamination in fetal samples.Moreover,MLPA analysis excluded common chromosomal aneuploidies associated with syndromic conditions in all tested fetuses.Conclusions This study achieved a 100%molecular diagnosis rate in CIPA families,identified three novel pathogenic variants,and enabled the simultaneous prevention of CIPA and common chromosomal syndromes through integrated prenatal ge-netic testing,thereby providing critical insights for genetic counseling.

ObjectiveTo analyze the expression of molecular marker affecting the prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia （AML） patients from bioinformatics database， thus providing an experimental basis for further exploration of a novel molecular marker for the prognosis of AML. MethodsThe prognostic data of 179 AML patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas （TCGA） database were examined for differential gene analysis and survival analysis. The bone marrow samples of 74 healthy individuals （HI） and 542 de novo AML patients in the dataset GSE13159 downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO） database were analyzed to detect the difference in the expression levels of differential target genes. Peripheral blood and bone marrow samples were collected from 18 de novo AML patients and 20 age- and gender-matched healthy controls， and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to validate the expression levels of the differential genes in the AML patients. ResultsBioinformatics data analysis showed that the optimal cut-off value of Homo sapiens NK2 homeobox 3 （NKX2-3） calculated by R language was 0.051. Survival analysis revealed a statistically poorer overall survival in de novo AML patients with high NKX2-3 expression than in those with low NKX2-3 expression （P = 0.0036）. NKX2-3 was highly expressed in patients with de novo AML than in HI and the difference was statistically significant （P < 0.001）. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR verified the expression levels of the NKX2-3 gene in AML patients and confirmed that compared with those in HI， in the de novo AML patients， NKX2-3-1 and NKX2-3-2 were highly expressed and were significantly correlated （P = 0.000， P = 0.000）. ConclusionNKX2-3 is highly expressed in de novo AML patients， and the AML patients with high NKX2-3 expression have poor overal survival. NKX2-3 may be closely related to the clinical outcome and prognosis of AML.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.

Objective　To explore the effect of Mp1p on host macrophages through transcriptomics combined with metabolomics. Methods Firstly, a THP-1 macrophage strain (THP-1-Mp1p+) stably expressing Mp1p was constructed using lentivirus. Secondly, using high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA Seq) technology, the expression level of intracellular mRNA was detected in transcriptomics analysis to determine differentially expressed genes; In metabolomics analysis, metabolite identification was performed through database comparison, and pathway analysis was performed on differential metabolites to reveal potential mechanisms of action. Finally, the results of metabolomics and transcriptomics were combined for analysis, and differential metabolites and genes were analyzed to further elucidate the mechanism of action of Mp1p on macrophages. Results Transcriptome analysis showed that, compared with the negative control group, the THP-1-Mp1p+ group had a total of 1 180 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with 345 upregulated genes and 835 downregulated genes. GO enrichment analysis of DEGs showed that there were 135 differentially expressed genes, including 105 in biological processes (BP), 28 in cellular components (CC), and 2 in molecular functions (MF). The KEGG analysis results showed that the effect of Mp1p on THP-1 macrophages was highly correlated with the TNF pathway. The metabolomic analysis found that both the blank control group and the THP-1-Mp1p+ macrophage group achieved good separation between QC samples in both positive and negative ion modes. The threshold for significant differential metabolites was set at: VIP≥1 and T-test P<0.05, resulting in the identification of 488 differential metabolites, with 230 in the positive ion mode and 258 in the negative ion mode. Pathway enrichment analysis of the identified metabolites pointed to significant enrichment in metabolic pathways. The combined analysis confirmed that the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, interleukin-17 signaling pathway, and NF-kappaB signaling pathway were important metabolic pathways involved. Conclusions The virulence factor Mp1p may affect host macrophages by modulating the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, interleukin-17 signaling pathway, and NF-kappaB signaling pathway. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of Mp1p and may offer potential directions for the selection of relevant diagnostic and therapeutic targets in the future.

The control group was given levonorgestrel intrauterine birth control system treatment, and the observation group was given Sanjie analgesic capsule combined with levonorgestrel intrauterine birth control system treatment. After 6 months of treatment, the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E 2), progesterone (P), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), insulin like growth factor (IGF-1), transforming growth factor-β 1(TGF- β 1), clinical efficacy, adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, the TCM syndrome scores in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: (7.57 ± 1.23) scores vs. (9.32 ± 1.45) scores, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of FSH, LH, E 2, P in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (5.54 ± 1.21) U/L vs. (7.62 ± 1.36) U/L, (4.43 ± 1.05) U/L vs. (6.14 ± 1.15) U/L, (83.54 ± 12.36) μg/L vs. (92.45 ± 11.56) μg/L, (9.64 ± 1.43) pmol/L vs. (11.36 ± 1.52) pmol/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of VEGF, Ang-2, IGF-1, TGF- β 1 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (114.32 ± 15.41) ng/L vs. (162.45 ± 16.32) ng/L, (156.14 ± 20.45) ng/L vs. (186.53 ± 22.36) ng/L, (135.21 ± 15.52) ng/L vs. (151.23 ± 16.21) ng/L, (13.43 ± 2.24) ng/L vs. (16.36 ± 2.51) ng/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the clinical efficacy in the observation group was higher than that in the control group and the adverse reactions was lower than that in the control group: 84.09%(37/44) vs. 64.29%(27/42), 13.64%(6/44) vs. 33.33%(14/42), there were statistical differences ( χ2 = 4.73 and 4.67, P<0.05). Conclusions:For adenomyosis with phlegm-stasis interjunction, the combination of Sanjie analgesic capsule and levonorgestrel intrauterine birth control system can improve the clinical symptoms of patients, improve treatment effectiveness, and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, which may be related to factors such as inhibiting estrogen, progesterone and vascular associated growth factors.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Edaravone and dexborneol(Eda.B)on oxidative stress pathway in peripheral blood of elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 87 elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke in the Department of Neurology, Qinghai University Affiliated Hospital from July 2021 to January 2022 were selected as the study subjects.According to the random number table, they were divided into control group(44 cases)and edaravone dexborneol group(43 cases). Each group was divided into <12 h group, 12-24 h group and 24-48 h group according to the time of onset.Peripheral blood was collected in each group at admission and discharge, respectively.The serum levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS), Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein 1(Keap1), nuclear factor-E2-associated factor 2(Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1(HO-1), NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1(NQO1), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6), as well as superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and malondialdehyde(MDA)content were detected.Results:Elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke receving Eda.B treatment after admission could reduce the serum concentration of ROS, TNF-α and IL-6, as well as MDA content, and increase the concentration of Keap1, Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO1 and SOD activity.Except for ROS concentration in <12 h group and SOD activity in <12 h and 12 h-24 h groups, the differences between the other groups were statistically significant( P<0.05 for all). Compared with the control group, the serum concentration of TNF-α and IL-6 of patients in the Eda.B group at discharge decreased, while the concentration of Nrf2(24-48 h group)and HO-1(24-48 h group), and SOD activity increased, the differences were statistically significant( P<0.05 for all). In the control group at discharge, the concentrations of ROS(24-48 h group), TNF-α(<12 h group, 24-48 h group)and IL-6, as well as MDA content decreased, while the concentrations of Keap1, Nrf2(<12 h group, 12-24 h group)and HO-1(<12 h group, 12-24 h group)increased, the differences were also statistically significant( P<0.05 for all). Compared with admission, the concentration of Keap1(24-48 h group)and HO-1(24-48 h group), the activity of SOD(<12 h group, 12-24 h group)increased and the content of MDA(12-24 h group)in the Eda.B group decreased at discharge( P<0.05 for all). Conclusions:Eda.B can reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory response in peripheral blood of elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke by acting on the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of omalizumab in the treatment of patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria accompanied by other allergic diseases.Methods:Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 74 patients, who were clinically diagnosed with chronic spontaneous urticaria and other allergic diseases, and received subcutaneous injections of omalizumab in the Department of Allergy, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from June 2020 to September 2022. Types of allergic diseases, serum total IgE (tIgE) and allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) levels before treatment, treatment outcomes and adverse drug reactions were analyzed. Differences before and after treatment were assessed using paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank sum test. Results:A total of 74 patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria were involved, including 29 with complicated allergic asthma (39.2%) , 61 with complicated allergic rhinitis (82.4%) , 6 with complicated atopic dermatitis (8.1%) , and 4 with food allergy (5.4%) . Before treatment, elevated serum tIgE or sIgE levels were observed in 44 (59.5%) patients. After the first omalizumab treatment, the urticaria control test (UCT) score significantly increased compared with that before treatment (16.00 [13.0.0, 16.00] vs. 6.00 [5.75, 9.00], Z = 7.39, P < 0.001) ; after 4 sessions of the omalizumab treatment, 82.5% (33/40) of the patients achieved complete control of urticaria symptoms or showed complete response. After omalizumab treatment, asthmatic attacks were decreased in 29 patients with allergic asthma, and asthma control test (ACT) scores significantly increased compared with those before treatment (21.07 ± 2.88 points [after the first treatment] vs. 18.48 ± 3.20 points [before treatment], t = 8.87, P < 0.001) ; among 61 patients with allergic rhinitis, global rhinitis symptom-based visual analog scale (VAS) scores (before treatment: 5.89 ± 1.29 points; after the first treatment: 3.28 ±1.46 points) and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) scores (before treatment: 60.10 ± 20.53 points; after the first treatment: 37.26 ± 18.83 points) both significantly decreased after the first treatment ( t = 15.04, 10.01, respectively, both P < 0.001) , and rhinitis symptoms were relieved at the same time; skin itching was relieved in 4 patients with atopic dermatitis, and allergic symptoms after contact with food allergens were also relieved in the 2 patients with food allergy after omalizumab treatment. During the treatment, only 1 patient experienced erythematous swelling, induration, and pain at the injection site. Conclusions:In the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria accompanied by allergic diseases, the use of omalizumab not only effectively improved urticaria symptoms, but also well controlled allergic diseases, with a good safety profile. Multiple benefits may be achieved by the use of omalizumabin in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria accompanied by other allergic diseases.
