OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of gene polymorphism on plasma minimum concentration (cmin) of voriconazole (VRZ) in patients with invasive fungal infection. METHODS The Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, China Biomedical Literature Database, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang Data were searched for literature on the correlation between gene polymorphisms and cmin of VRZ from inception to April 2024. After screening the literature, extracting data, and evaluating the quality of the literature, meta-analysis was performed using R 4.3.2 software. RESULTS A total of 21 studies with 2 454 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the VRZ cmin of CYP2C19 IM and PM types was significantly higher than EM type, and the VRZ cmin of IM type was significantly lower than PM type (P<0.01). The VRZ cmin of CYP2C9 rs1057910 AA type was significantly higher than AC/CC type, and that of CYP3A5 rs776746 CC type was significantly higher than TT type (P<0.01). The VRZ cmin of POR rs10954732 GG type was significantly higher than GA and AA types, and that of POR rs1057868 CT type was significantly lower than TT type (P<0.01). The VRZ cmin of ABCB1 rs1045642 CC type was significantly higher than TT type (P<0.05). The VRZ cmin of NR1I2 rs2472677 CT type was significantly higher than TT type, and rs7643645 AA type was significantly higher than AG type (P<0.05). The VRZ cmin of ABCC2 rs717620 CC type was significantly lower than CT type and TT type, and the CT type was significantly lower than TT type (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Mutant alleles in CYP2C19, CYP2C9 rs1057910, CYP3A5 rs776746, POR rs10954732, ABCB1 rs1045642 and NR1I2 rs7643645 can lead to a decrease in VRZ plasma concentration, and mutant allele in ABCC2 rs717620 can lead to an increase in VRZ plasma concentration.

ObjectiveThe antitumor activity of sesquiterpenoid M36 isolated from Myrrha against human hepatoma HepG2 cells was investigated in this study. MethodHepG2 cells were treated with M36 at different concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 μmol·L-1). Firstly, the effects of M36 on the proliferation of human hepatoma HepG2 cells were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT), colony formation assay, and EdU proliferation assay. Hoechst staining, flow cytometry analysis, and Western blot were used to explore the effect of M36 on the apoptosis of human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Acridine orange staining and western blotting were used to examine the effect of M36 on autophagy in HepG2 cells. Finally, Western blot was used to detect protein expression of cancer-related signaling pathways. ResultCompared with the blank group, M36 treatment significantly inhibited the proliferation of human hepatoma HepG2 cells (P<0.01), and the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of M36 for 48 h was 5.03 μmol·L-1, in a dose- and time-dependent manner. M36 was also able to induce apoptosis and autophagy in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. After treatment with 8 μmol·L-1 M36 for 48 hours, the apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells was (42.03±9.65)% (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, HepG2 cells treated with 4 and 8 μmol·L-1 M36 for 48 h had a significant increase in cleaved poly ADP-ribose polymerase (cleaved-PARP) protein levels (P<0.01). Acridine orange staining showed that autophagy was significantly activated in HepG2 cells treated with 4 and 8 μmol·L-1 M36 for 48 h compared with the blank group (P<0.01), which was further verified by the up-regulation of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅱ (LC3 Ⅱ). Western blot results showed that compared with the blank group, the levels of phosphorylated extracellular regulated protein kinase (p-ERK), phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38 MAPK), phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK), and its downstream nuclear transcription factors c-Jun and p-c-Jun protein were significantly increased in M36 group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of MAPK signaling pathway. ConclusionThe sesquiterpenoid M36 isolated from Myrrha inhibits the proliferation of human hepatoma HepG2 cells and promotes apoptosis and autophagy, which may be related to the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway.

In recent years, the number of lung surgeries has increased year by year, and the number of patients with postoperative cough has also increased gradually. Chronic cough after lung surgery seriously affects patients' quality of life and surgical outcome, and has become one of the clinical problems that clinicians need to solve. However, there is currently no guideline or consensus for the treatment of chronic cough after lung surgery in China, and there is no standardized treatment method. Therefore, we searched databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang databases ect. from 2000 to 2023 to collected relevant literatures and research data, and produced the first expert consensus on chronic cough after lung surgery in China by Delphi method. We gave 11 recommendations from five perspectives including timing of chronic cough treatment, risk factors (surgical method, lymph node dissection method, anesthesia method), prevention methods (preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative), and treatment methods (etiological treatment, cough suppressive drug treatment, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and postoperative physical therapy). We hope that this consensus can improve the standardization and effectiveness of chronic cough treatment after lung surgery, provide reference for clinical doctors, and ultimately improve the quality of life of patients with chronic cough after lung surgery.

Cold and heat belong to the eight-principal syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine, which can reflect the rise and fall of Yin and Yang in the body and the Yin and Yang nature of the disease. At present, traditional Chinese medicine has an inconsistent understanding of cold and heat in acute coronary syndrome. The emphasis on pathogenic factors of cold and heat is biased, and the elements of cold and heat syndrome are not fully reflected in the scale. Therefore, the literature has been reviewed from the perspectives of etiology, pathogenesis, symptom elements, and test signs with drugs. From the perspective of etiology, both cold evil and heat evil can increase the risk of acute coronary syndrome. It was previously believed that acute coronary syndrome occurs frequently in cold climates such as winter and spring. Based on this understanding, hot weather can also induce acute coronary syndrome, and different temperatures have different effects on patients of different ages and with different underlying diseases. In addition, artificial pathogenic factors such as excessive consumption of cold food and refrigeration air conditioners were added. From the perspective of pathogenesis, on the basis of the traditional ''asthenia in origin and asthenia in superficiality'' and ''phlegm stagnation'', it is found that Yin-cold and fire-heat can both cause paralysis of the heart chakra and pain induced by the blockage. The pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome characterized by heat stagnation and coldness featuring heartburn should be distinguished from gastroesophageal reflux disease. Moreover, the pathogenesis of Yin cold coagulation and pulse stagnation and wind obstruction are different. The acute coronary syndrome is in line with the wind characteristics of frequent changes and can be treated with wind medicine. From the perspective of syndrome elements, the syndrome elements such as cold condensation, heat accumulation, and toxicity are analyzed, and the use of basic syndrome elements and their combination forms facilitates clinical and scientific research. In addition, according to the test sign with the drug, it can be seen that the attributes of cold and heat of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for acute coronary syndrome can be explained according to the temperature-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel, thus proving the pathogenesis of cold and heat of acute coronary syndrome.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors for compliance to colonoscopy screening for colorectal cancer in outpatients.Methods:Patients aged 40-74 years who visited the outpatient gastroenterology department of 7 tertiary hospitals in 7 regions of Xinjiang from January 2022 to June 2022 were enrolled. Recommendations for colonoscopy screening were made according to the patient's medical conditions, and the questionnaire was used to collect information. The Chi-square test was used to compare the differences of compliant and non-compliant patients. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of compliance to colonoscopy screening.Results:A total of 463 valid questionnaires were obtained from 7 centers, in which, 427 outpatients (92.2%) followed the recommendation for colonoscopy screening, and 36 (7.8%) did not. Chi-square test results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in gender, age, education, subjective cognition of intestinal polyps, personal history of colorectal polyps, family history of colorectal cancer, family history of colorectal polyps, abdominal pain or distension, and defecation habit or stool changes ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate regression analysis showed that the screening compliance of patients aged 40-49 years ( P=0.005, OR=0.141, 95% CI: 0.036-0.549) and 50-59 years ( P=0.039, OR=0.257, 95% CI: 0.071-0.932) was lower than that of patients aged 60-74 years. The screening compliance of patients with high school education ( P=0.011, OR=3.121, 95% CI: 1.304-7.473) and college education or above ( P=0.016, OR=3.544, 95% CI: 1.270-9.890) was higher than those with primary school education and below. Patients with personal history of colorectal polyps ( P=0.015, OR=12.288, 95% CI: 1.629-92.719), family history of colorectal cancer ( P=0.038, OR=8.506, 95% CI: 1.124-64.351) and changes in defecation habit or stool trait ( P=0.039, OR=4.794, 95% CI: 1.085-21.192) also had higher compliance. Conclusion:Age, educational level, personal history of colorectal polyps, and family history of colorectal cancer are related to colonoscopy screening compliance in outpatients of 7 tertiary hospitals in 7 regions of Xinjiang. The independent risk factors affecting compliance to colorectal cancer screening in outpatients are age of 40-59 years, lower educational level, no previous history of polyps or family history of colorectal cancer, and no defecation habit or stool changes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the antiviral effect of Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids and its relationship with the type Ⅰ interferon (IFN-Ⅰ) signaling pathway. MethodThe effects of Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids on the intracellular replication of influenza A virus (H1N1), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and cerebral myocarditis virus (EMCV) were detected by fluorescent inverted microscope, flow cytometry, Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), and Western blot. A mouse model infected with H1N1 was constructed, and the mice were divided into a control group, H1N1 model group, Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids groups (10, 20, 30 mg·kg-1), and oseltamivir group (40 mg·kg-1), so as to study the effects on the weight and survival rate of infected mice. Real-time PCR was used to detect the activation effect of Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids on the IFN-Ⅰ pathway in cells, and the relationship between the antiviral effect of Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids in IFNAR1 knockout A549 cells (IFNAR1-/--A549) and IFN-Ⅰ pathway was detected. ResultCompared with the control group, the virus proliferated significantly in the model group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids could significantly inhibit the replication of H1N1, VSV, and EMCV in vitro (P<0.01), inhibit the weight loss of the mice infected with the H1N1 in vivo, and improve the survival rate of mice (P<0.05). In addition, Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids activated the IFN-I pathway and relied on this pathway to exert the function of antiviral infection. ConclusionMenispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids exert antiviral effects in vivo and in vitro by activating the IFN-Ⅰ pathway.

Objective:
To examine the mediating effect of nighttime sleep duration on pain and frailty among elderly patients with comorbidity of chronic diseases, so as to provide insights into frailty control among the elderly.
Methods:
Demographic information, pain and nighttime sleep duration of the elderly at ages of 60 years and older were collected from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study 2020. Frailty were evaluated using frailty index. The mediating effect of sleep duration for pain and frailty was analyzed using the Process program compiled by HAYSS and colleagues, and the significance of the mediating role was tested using the Bootstrap test.
Results:
A total of 2 246 elderly patients with comorbidity of chronic diseases were enrolled, including 1 195 males (53.21%) and 1 051 females (46.79%), with a median age of 65.00 (interquartile range, 8.00) years. There were 504 cases with frailty (22.44%), with a median pain score of 0 (interquartile range, 1.00) points, and a mean nighttime sleep duration of (6.44±1.55) hours. Mediating analysis showed that pain affected frailty directly and positively with the effect value of 0.089 (95%CI: 0.066-0.112), and also affected frailty by nighttime sleep duration directly and positively with the effect value of 0.047 (95%CI: 0.036-0.058), with the mediating effect contributed 34.56% of the total effect.
Conclusion
Pain can directly or indirectly affect frailty among elderly patients with comorbidity of chronic diseases through nighttime sleep duration.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of three individualized drug delivery tools, i.e. JPKD, SmartDose and NextDose, in predicting tacrolimus dose and blood concentration after kidney transplantation, and analyze the influential factors of prediction accuracy. METHODS The clinical data of adult hospitalized patients treated with tacrolimus after kidney transplantation from January 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively collected. Three individualized dosing tools, i.e. JPKD, SmartDose and NextDose, were used to predict the dose and plasma concentration of tacrolimus. The absolute prediction error (APE) and prediction error (PE) between the measured value and the predicted value, and prediction success rate were calculated (APE<30% indicating a good forecast). Pearson assay or Spearman assay was used to analyze the correlation between the predicted dosage and actual dosage, as well as the predicted and measured blood concentration values using three software; univariate analysis was used to investigate the influential factors for prediction accuracy of JPKD, SmartDose and NextDose. RESULTS A total of 110 hospitalized patients were included in this study, and tacrolimus doses and plasma concentrations were monitored. The predicted doses of JPKD, SmartDose and NextDose were (2.0±0.7), (2.7±1.9), (1.8±0.8) mg, their measured value was (1.9±0.6) mg, and the correlation coefficients between the predicted values and the measured value were 0.841, 0.450, 0.247 (P<0.001); the median APEs were 6.00%, 52.07% and 30.40%, and the median PEs were 5.00%, 18.50% and -3.50%; the prediction success rates were 98.45%, 30.05% and 49.22%. The predicted values of tacrolimus concentrations using JPKD, SmartDose, NextDose were (6.74±3.36), (6.93±5.02), 9.00(5.80±12.60) ng/mL, the measured value was 8.64(7.11,9.77) ng/mL, and the correlation coefficients between the predicted values and the measured value were 0.997 (P<0.001), -0.066 (P=0.360), 0.920 (P<0.001). The median APEs were 5.54%, 45.91% and 35.56%, and PEs were -4.94% (median), -17.050% (median) and 36.93% (average value); the prediction success rates were 97.93%, 32.64% and 37.31%. Univariate analysis showed that the dosage, blood concentration, body weight, transplantation time and others were related to the prediction accuracy (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The good prediction rates of tacrolimus dose and blood concentration in kidney transplant patients using three personalized drug delivery tools, from high to low, are JPKD, NextDose, and SmartDose, suggesting that JPKD can be prioritized in clinical use.
