Polycystic ovary syndrome （PCOS） is one of the most prevalent gynecological diseases， and its incidence is increasing year by year， seriously affecting the physical and mental health of female patients. The pathogenesis of this disease is complex and has not been fully clarified. At present， PCOS is mainly treated by Western medicine， which， however， has poor efficacy and induces various adverse reactions. Therefore， developing safe and effective therapies has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved. Studies have confirmed that traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） can regulate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B（PI3K/Akt）， mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase （MAPK/ERK）， Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-κB （TLR4/NF-κB）， transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）/Smads， secreted glycoprotein/β-catenin （Wnt/β-catenin）， adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）， and advanced glycation endproduct/receptor for advanced glycation endproducts （AGE/RAGE） signaling pathways to ameliorate insulin resistance， inhibit inflammation and oxidative stress， regulate endocrine hormone disorders， and intervene in apoptosis and autophagy， thus alleviating the symptoms， slowing down the disease progression， and improving the ovarian function. The treatment of PCOS with TCM has demonstrated definite effects and high safety. Therefore， exploring this disease from cellular and molecular perspectives can provide a theoretical basis for its clinical treatment and new drug development. However， there is a lack of systematic reviews on the modulation of relevant signaling pathways by TCM in the treatment of PCOS. This article reviews the research progress in the treatment of PCOS with the active ingredients and compound prescriptions of TCM by regulating relevant signaling pathways in recent years， with the aim of providing evidence to support the promotion of TCM for treating PCOS in the future.

OBJECTIVE To know about the perception and current status of drug risk management among pharmacists in Chinese medical institutions， providing insights and recommendations for enhancing the drug risk management system in medical institutions. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted across 28 provinces， cities， and autonomous regions； stratified radom sampling was employed to study the population of medical workers and pharmaceutical professionals in medical institutions nationwide. The survey included information on the survey population， the current status of drug risk management implementation in medical institutions， the cognition， definition and process of drug risk management related concepts， and the content and mode of drug risk management work in medical institutions. Finally， suggestions were collected from various medical institutions on the system construction of drug risk management. Descriptive statistical analysis was adopted to summarize the obtained data. RESULTS A total of 446 questionnaires were collected in this survey， including 420 valid questionnaires and 26 invalid questionnaires. The questionnaire collection rate was 100%，and the effective rate was 94.17%. 51.19% of the respondents No.2020YFC2009001）。 based their understanding of drug risk management on Management Measures for Adverse Drug Reaction Reports and Monitoring， while 87.38% recognized the need for drug risk management throughout the drug use process. 63.33% of the participants stated that their medical institutions had dedicated positions related to drug risk management， with the highest proportion （72.17%） was in third-grade class A medical institutions. 66.43% reported implementing risk management across all drug use stages. Suggestions for the development of drug risk management systems in medical institutions by the research participants focused on enhancing guiding documents， clarifying concepts， establishing information-sharing mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS The overall awareness of drug risk management in China’s medical institutions is high， with practices in place across various stages in multiple forms. However， there remains a need to strengthen institutional documents， management regulations， system development， and information-sharing mechanisms to improve collaborative governance， improve drug management levels， and ensure patient safety.

ObjectiveTo investigate the non-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorder， analyze related influencing factors， and provide theoretical basis and reference for the prevention and treatment of NSSI. MethodsAccording to DSM-5 criteria， 95 depressive adolescents were divided into two groups： one with NSSI （NSSI group） and one without NSSI （nNSSI group）. All patients were assessed with Adolescent Non-suicidal Self-injury Assessment Questionnaire （ANSAQ）， Self-Rating Depression Scale （SDS）， Self-Rating Anxiety Scale （SAS）， Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire （SCSQ）， Experiences in Close Relationships-Relationship Structures Scale （ECR-RS）， and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form （CTQ-SF）. The inter-group differences were compared. The influencing factors of NSSI were analyzed by using binary logistic regression. ResultsOf the 95 depressive adolescents， 59 cases of NSSI were identified， with a detection rate of 62.11%. NSSI group had higher scores than nNSSI group on SDS， SAS， negative coping style， paternal attachment anxiety， maternal attachment anxiety and avoidance， CTQ-SF total score， emotional neglect， physical neglect， emotional abuse， and sexual abuse （all P<0.05）. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that anxiety， negative coping style， maternal attachment avoidance and emotional abuse increased the risk of NSSI among adolescents with depressive disorders （all P< 0.05）. ConclusionsAdolescents with depression have a high incidence of NSSI behaviors， which is related to anxiety， negative coping style， maternal attachment avoidance and emotional abuse. In addition to improving patients' depression and anxiety in clinical setting， attention should also be paid to patients' coping styles， parent-child relationship and childhood trauma to reduce the occurrence of NSSI behaviors.

OBJECTIVE To provide practical basis and policy recommendations for improving the pharmacovigilance （PV） system construction in medical institutions across China. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted using a mixed sampling strategy of “online random sampling+offline supplementary sampling” to distribute questionnaires among pharmaceutical professionals in tertiary medical institutions nationwide. The questionnaire covered aspects such as the construction of PV systems， job position settings， information system support， operational practices， and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The data were analyzed using descriptive methods and SPSS 20.0 statistical software. RESULTS A total of 70 valid questionnaires were collected from 66 medical institutions， primarily Class A tertiary hospitals. The survey found that 90.00% had designated PV personnel and 74.29% routinely conducted PV activities. However， there were notable disparities in resource allocation and information system capacity， with less than 50% of the institutions conducting post-marketing drug re-evaluation. PV activities were primarily focused on the collection and reporting of adverse drug reactions， with limited capabilities in signal detection and risk assessment. CONCLUSIONS Among the surveyed tertiary hospitals， PV systems have begun to take shape. However， challenges persist in terms of system establishment， resource allocation， risk assessment， and inter-organizational coordination. Policy efforts should focus on strengthening regulatory frameworks， improving information sharing mechanisms， enhancing professional training， and strengthening collaboration between hospitals and market authorization holders to ensure the effective implementation of PV in medical institutions.

OBJECTIVE To explore the impact of Shaoyao decoction on the intestinal microecology of rats with damp-heat diarrhea. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into physiological group， model group， and Shaoyao decoction low-， medium- and high-dose groups （single dose of 5.62， 28.10 and 56.20 g/kg， by raw drugs）， with 7 rats in each group. Except for the physiological group， the remaining groups were all fed with high-sugar and high-fat diet， raised in a high-temperature and high- humidity environment， and administered white liquor and Escherichia coli suspension by gavage to establish a rat model of damp- heat diarrhea. On the second day after modeling， rats in each dosage group of Shaoyao decoction were administered the corresponding solution by gavage， once in the morning and once in the evening， for 3 consecutive days. After the last administration， fecal metagenomic sequencing analysis and biological information analysis were performed to detect the activities of intestinal cytochrome P450 （CYP） enzymes and intestinal flora metabolic enzymes. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the α diversity indexes of intestinal flora among the groups （P＞0.05）. The main phyla of rats in each group included Firmicutes， Actinobacteriota and Verrucomicrobiota， and the core dominant genera included Dubosiella， Lactobacillus and Romboutsia； low- ， medium- and high-dose of Shaoyao decoction could reverse the decrease in the relative abundance of Firmicutes， Romboutsia， Bifidobacterium and Monoglobus， as well as the increase in the relative abundance of Proteobacteria， Verrucomicrobiota， Escherichia-Shigella and Corynebacterium （P＜0.05）. Rats in each dosage group of Shaoyao decoction showed higher relative abundance of intestinal flora involved in carbon metabolism and cofactor biosynthesis pathways. Compared with the model group， the elimination rates of aminophenol and midazolam， as well as the concentration （except for the low-dose group） and metabolic rate of p-nitrophenol in rats of each dose group of Shaoyao decoction were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Shaoyao decoction can correct intestinal flora disorder in rats with damp-heat diarrhea， promote the recovery of intestinal CYP metabolic enzymes and intestinal flora metabolic enzymes， and thereby comprehensively improve intestinal microecology.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the seventh most common malignant tumor in the world, with a 5-year survival rate of only about 50%. Thus, discovering more effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches is an urgent need. The metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells is a key feature in the development of HNSCC, which widely exhibits alterations in glycolytic metabolism, lipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism compared with normal cells. Metabolic reprogramming affects the energy supply and biosynthesis of tumor cells. It also participates in the regulation of the tumor microenvironment and promotes key biological processes such as proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of HNSCC. With the progressive understanding of the complexity of tumor biology, targeted-therapy strategies against metabolic reprogramming in HNSCC are emerging as a promising therapeutic approach. These metabolically targeted therapies have performed well in preclinical studies, but their clinical application requires further validation. In the future, we need to deeply explore the more complex features of metabolic reprogramming and its biological significance in HNSCC, with the aim of discovering more effective diagnostic and therapeutic targets, as well as providing new strategies to improve the prognosis of HNSCC patients.

Diarrhea caused by chemotherapy is called chemotherapy-related diarrhea （CRD）. CRD can lead to reduced treatment effectiveness and compliance， affect the long-term outcome of tumor patients， and can be life-threatening in severe cases. In addition to conventional chemotherapy drugs， many molecularly targeted drugs are also associated with CRD， including small molecule epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR） inhibitors， anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies， phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors， small molecule inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor， BCR-ABL1 and KIT inhibitors， human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 target inhibitors， cyclin-dependent protein kinase inhibitors， antibody-drug conjugates and other molecularly targeted drugs. The occurrence mechanism may be related to the intestinal mucosal injury or enteritis caused by molecularly targeted drugs. The clinical manifestations are increased stool frequency and/or loose imposition， and patients are often associated with excess hyperproduction and/or colic. The incidence of CRD varies with different drugs. Great importance should be attached to collecting medical history and differential diagnosis， actively intervening and conducting dynamic evaluation， strengthening patient education， and timely detecting and preventing the occurrence of intestinal toxicity.

AIM: To compare the efficacy of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab(IVR)and intravitreal injection of conbercept(IVC)in children with retinopathy of prematurity(ROP).METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 1 100 eyes with ROP treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF at our hospital from January 2015 to June 2023 were included. According to the different therapeutic drugs, the children were divided into two groups: IVR group and IVC group. According to the degree of ROP, the patients were divided into three groups: aggressive ROP(A-ROP), Zone Ⅰ type 1 ROP and Zone Ⅱ type 1 ROP. The reactivation and retreatment between the two groups were compared after propensity score matching(PSM)analysis, and they were followed-up for at least 3 mo after surgery.RESULTS: In Zone Ⅱ type 1 ROP, there was a statistically significant difference in the rates of reactivation and retreatment between the IVR and IVC groups(P<0.05); however, in A-ROP and Zone I type 1 ROP, there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of reactivation and retreatment between the two groups(P>0.05). The risk of reactivation and retreatment of Zone I type 1 ROP was higher than the Zone II type 1 ROP. Furthermore, the use of drugs and corrected gestational age of first treatment were influencing factors of lesion recurrence and retreatment.CONCLUSION: There is a significant difference in the initial cure effect between the two drugs in Zone II type 1 ROP, with the reactivation and retreatment rates of the IVC group being much lower than those of the IVR group.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of modified Tianwang Buxindan （MTBD） on the skin of sleep-deprived （SD） mice and investigate its mechanism. MethodSixty 2-month-old female Kunming mice were randomly divided into a blank group， a model group， a vitamin C （VC， 0.08 g·kg^-1）， and MTBD low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （6.5， 12.5， 25 g·kg^-1）. Except for the blank group， the other groups were subjected to SD mouse model induction （using multiple platform water environment method for 18 hours of sleep deprivation daily from 15：00 to next day 9：00）， continuously for 14 days， and caffeine （CAF， 7.5 mg·kg^-1） was injected intraperitoneally from the 2nd week onwards， continuously for 7 days. While modeling， the blank group and the model group were administered with normal saline （0.01 mL·g^-1）， and the other groups received corresponding drugs for treatment. On the day of the experiment， general observations were recorded （such as body weight， spirit， fur， and skin）. After sampling， skin tissue pathological changes were observed under an optical microscope using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and Masson staining methods. Skin thickness and skin moisture content were measured. Biochemical assay kits were used to detect skin hydroxyproline （HYP） content， skin and serum superoxide dismutase （SOD） activity， and malondialdehyde （MDA） content. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect serum interleukin （IL）-6， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， and IL-1β levels in mice. Western blot was used to detect skin tissue type Ⅰ collagen （ColⅠ）， type Ⅲ collagen （ColⅢ）， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）， phosphorylated （p）-PI3K， protein kinase B （Akt）， p-Akt， nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， heme oxygenase （HO）-1， and nuclear factor （NF）-κB protein expression. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group showed varying degrees of changes. In general， signs of aging such as reduced body weight （P<0.01）， listlessness， dull fur color， and formation of wrinkles on the skin appeared. Tissue specimen testing revealed skin thinning， flattening of the dermoepidermal junction （DEJ）， and reduced collagen fibers under the optical microscope. Skin thickness and moisture content decreased， skin tissue HYP content significantly decreased （P<0.01）， skin and serum SOD activity significantly decreased （P<0.01）， and MDA content significantly increased （P<0.01）. Serum IL-6， TNF-α， and IL-1β levels significantly increased （P<0.01）. Skin ColⅠ， ColⅢ， p-PI3K/PI3K， p-Akt/Akt， Nrf2， and HO-1 protein expression significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and NF-κB expression increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the VC group and the MTBD low-dose group showed increased skin moisture content， HYP content， SOD activity， and ColⅠ， ColⅢ， p-PI3K/PI3K protein expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and decreased serum MDA content （P<0.05）. In addition， a decrease in serum IL-6 and IL-1β levels was detected in the MTBD low-dose group （P<0.05）， while the above indicators in the MTBD medium- and high-dose groups improved （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionSleep deprivation accelerates the aging process of the skin in SD model mice. MTBD can improve this phenomenon， exerting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects， and its mechanism of action may be related to the activation of the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 signaling pathway.
