Methods A computer-based search of PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database, VIP, Wanfang, SinoMed and CNKI was conducted to collect studies on postoperative AL risk prediction model for esophageal cancer from their inception to October 1st, 2023. PROBAST tool was employed to evaluate the bias risk and applicability of the model, and Stata 15 software was utilized for meta-analysis. Results A total of 19 literatures were included covering 25 AL risk prediction models and 7373 patients. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.670-0.960. Among them, 23 prediction models had a good prediction performance (AUC>0.7); 13 models were tested for calibration of the model; 1 model was externally validated, and 10 models were internally validated. Meta-analysis showed that hypoproteinemia (OR=9.362), postoperative pulmonary complications (OR=7.427), poor incision healing (OR=5.330), anastomosis type (OR=2.965), preoperative history of thoracoabdominal surgery (OR=3.181), preoperative diabetes mellitus (OR=2.445), preoperative cardiovascular disease (OR=3.260), preoperative neoadjuvant therapy (OR=2.977), preoperative respiratory disease (OR=4.744), surgery method (OR=4.312), American Society of Anesthesiologists score (OR=2.424) were predictors for AL after esophageal cancer surgery. Conclusion At present, the prediction model of AL risk in patients with esophageal cancer after surgery is in the development stage, and the overall research quality needs to be improved.

In recent years, the incidence of dry eye disease(DED)is increasing, positioning it as one of the most prevalent diseases affecting the ocular surface. Inflammatory response is the pathological basis of DED, involving various inflammatory mediators and inflammatory signaling pathways. Consequently, anti-inflammatory treatment emerges as a fundamental strategy for preventing and managing DED. This review summarizes the classic inflammatory factors involved in the development and progression of DED, including interleukins, tumor necrosis factor, matrix metalloproteinases, chemokines, and cell adhesion molecules. It also discusses the relevant inflammatory signaling pathways: the MAPKs pathway, NF-κB pathway, Wnt pathway and TLR pathway. Additionally, this review addresses the mechanisms of action and alterations in relevant biomarkers associated with current first-line recommended anti-inflammatory therapies, including corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and traditional Chinese medicine approaches to inflammation management. This comprehensive overview aims to enhance understanding of the inflammatory mechanisms underlying DED while exploring future therapeutic prospects.

In view of the few studies on the influence of Armillaria spp. infection on the content of the chemical components in different parts of Polyporus umbellatus sclerotia, this study determined the biomass of P. umbellatus sclerotia and the contents of ergosterol, polyporusterone A, polyporusterone B and polysaccharide in the separated cavity wall of the sclerotia and the uninfected part of the sclerotia in different harvesting years under the conditions of A. gallica and A. mellea infection respectively. According to the difference of content and dynamic changes of the polysaccharide and the steroid substances, the superior Armillaria sp. was screened to obtain the best harvest years of P. umbellatus. Using HPLC and UV-VIS spectrophotometry methods, the contents of ergosterol, polyporusterone A, polyporusterone B and polysaccharide in P. umbellatus sclerotia infected by the two Armillaria spp. in different years were determined. In addition, the differentially expressed genes related to P. umbellatus polysaccharide synthesis were screened according to the transcriptomic data of different parts of P. umbellatus after A. mellea infection. With the increase of years, the biomass of sclerotia infected by different Armillaria spp. had significant differences, and there were significant differences in the four components of sclerotia. The four components of the separated cavity wall of the sclerotia were significantly higher than those of the uninfected part. The best harvest time was the third year after cultivation. Transcriptomic analysis showed that the infection of Armillaria spp. could significantly promote polysaccharide synthesis, which provided a basis for polysaccharide content determination at the molecular level. The study clarified the influence of different Armillaria spp. infection on the accumulation of chemical components of P. umbellatus sclerotia, laying a foundation for exploring the symbiosis mechanism and provided a scientific clue for screening superior Armillaria sp. and guiding the artificial cultivation of P. umbellatus sclerotia.

Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and osteoporosis (OP) are two very common metabolic diseases. A growing body of experimental evidence supports a pathophysiological link between MAFLD and OP. MAFLD is often associated with the development of OP. Rutaecarpine (RUT) is one of the main active components of Chinese medicine Euodiae Fructus. Our previous studies have demonstrated that RUT has lipid-lowering, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic effects, and can improve the OP of rats. However, whether RUT can improve both fatty liver and OP symptoms of MAFLD mice at the same time remains to be investigated. In this study, we used C57BL/6 mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 4 months to construct a MAFLD model, and gave the mice a low dose (5 mg·kg^-1) and a high dose (15 mg·kg^-1) of RUT by gavage for 4 weeks. The effects of RUT on liver steatosis and bone metabolism were then evaluated at the end of the experiment [this experiment was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Institute of Medicinal Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (approval number: IMB-20190124D₃03)]. The results showed that RUT treatment significantly reduced hepatic steatosis and lipid accumulation, and significantly reduced bone loss and promoted bone formation. In summary, this study shows that RUT has an effect of improving fatty liver and OP in MAFLD mice.

Aim To establish limited sampling strategy to esti-mate area under the drug concentration versus time curve(AUC0-t)of lymphoma patients treated with autologous stem cell transplantation(ASCT)who had busulfan intravenous infu-sion.Methods Twelve lymphoma patients treated with ASCT received a conditioning regimen containing busulfan 105 mg·m-2,Ⅳ infusion for 3 h.Blood samples were obtained 1 h after the start of the first dose of the busulfan infusion,at 5 min,1 h,2 h,4 h,6 h and 18 h after the end of the drug administration.LC-MS/MS was used to determine the busulfan serum concentra-tion.After obtaining the clinical pharmacokinetic parameters of busulfan by traditional pharmacokinetic method,multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was used to establish the AUC0-t es-timation model of busulfan based on limited sampling method.The model was further verified by Jackknife and Bootstrap meth-od.Bland-Altman plots were used to evaluate the consistency between the limited sampling method and the classical pharma-cokinetic method.Results The multiple linear regression equa-tion analysis of C60min,C180min and C300min was obtained by the limited sampling method.The regression equation was AUC0-t=295.003C60min+233.050C180min+273.163C300min-1202.713,r2=0.995,MPE=-0.87％,RMSE=2.40％.Conclusion The limited sampling model with three-point estimation can be used to estimate the AUC0-t of busulfan exposure in lymphoma patients with ASCT to provide reference for clinical application of busulfan.

Aim To explore the ameliorative effects of berberine(BBR)on diabetic nephropathy(DN)in mice and investigate its potential mechanisms through transcriptomic analysis.Methods 8-week-old db/db mice were randomly assigned into four groups:model group(DN group),BBR 50 mg·kg-1 group(BBR-L group),BBR 100 mg·kg-1 group(BBR-H group),and empagliflozin 10 mg·kg-1 group(EMPA group).Age-matched db/m mice were used as the control group(NC group),with eight mice in each group.Each group received intragastric administration once daily for eight weeks.After the treatment,serum,u-rine,and kidney samples were collected to evaluate re-nal function indicators and observe renal pathological changes.Differentially expressed genes(DEGs)in kidney tissue were identified through transcriptomic a-nalysis,followed by KEGG and GO enrichment analy-sis.Potential targets were further validated using mo-lecular docking,molecular dynamics simulations,West-ern blot,and immunohistochemistry.Results Both BBR and EMPA significantly reduced fasting blood glu-cose levels in DN mice,improved renal function,and alleviated renal injury and fibrosis.Compared to the NC group,855 DEGs were identified in the DN group,while 194 DEGs were identified in the BBR-H group compared to the DN group.KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that the mechanisms underlying BBR's effects on DN were primarily related to type 1 diabetes and bile secretion pathways.Molecular docking results demonstrated a strong binding affinity between BBR and FXR and a moderate binding affinity with SHP.Molecular dynamics simulations corroborated the doc-king results.FXR and SHP protein expression signifi-cantly decreased in the DN group compared to the NC group.At the same time,BBR treatment significantly increased the expression of these proteins compared to the DN group.Conclusion BBR may mitigate DN-in-duced renal injury by modulating bile acid and lipid homeostasis through the FXR-SHP pathway.
