PANoptosis is a type of programmed cell death regulated by the PANoptosome with key features of pyroptosis, apoptosis and/or necroptosis. As the most complex programmed cell death, PANoptosis emphasizes the compensatory role among multiple programmed cell deaths, and can regulate malignant phenotypes such as proliferation, migration, and invasion of tumor cells through multiple signaling pathways, thus affecting malignant tumor progression. It has been found that PANoptosis plays a dual role in tumor progression and treatment. Therefore, it is clinically important to understand the molecular mechanisms by which PANoptosis affects tumorigenesis, development and progression. This paper reviews the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis, pyroptosis and necroptosis, and discusses the activation and regulation mechanisms of PANoptosis and PANoptosome as well as the research progress on the role of PANoptosis in tumors, aiming to provide new ideas for cancer treatment and prognostic assessment.

AIM To investigate the clinical effects of Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction combined with non-immunosuppressive treatment on patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis due to Spleen-Kidney Yang Deficiency.METHODS Sixty patients were randomly assigned into control group(30 cases)for 24-week intervention of non-immunosuppressive treatment,and observation group(30 cases)for 24-week intervention of both Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction and non-immunosuppressive treatment.The changes in clinical effects,TCM syndrome effects,TCM syndrome score,24 h UTP,ALB,eGFR,Nephrin,Podocin and safety indices were detected.RESULTS The observation group demonstrated higher total effective rate and TCM syndrome effective rate than the control group(P＜0.05).After the treatment,the two groups displayed decreased TCM syndrome score,24 h UTP,Nephrin,Podocin(P＜0.05),and increased ALB(P＜0.05),especially for the observation group(P＜0.05).No obvious adverse reactions occured in the two groups.CONCLUSION For the patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis due to Spleen-Kidney Yang Deficiency,Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction combined with non-immunosuppressive treatment can improve TCM syndromes,whose action mechanism may be contribute to the alleviation of podocyte injury.

Objective To summarize the current status of outcome indicators in randomized controlled trials of TCM intervention in pediatric myocarditis,to explore the existing problems,and to provide a reference for the construction of a core set of indicators for the treatment of pediatric myocarditis with TCM.Methods Randomized controlled trial literature on the treatment of pediatric myocarditis with TCM was retrieved from CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,SinoMed,PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library and Web of Science from the establishment of the databases to 16th,Nov.2024.The basic characteristics,diagnostic criteria,TCM evidence,interventions and outcome indicators of the studies were extracted.The risk of bias was assessed for the selected studies using the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool(RoB 2.0),and the outcome indicators were statistically analyzed using Excel 2019.Results Finally,totally of 250 articles were included in the literature.The outcome indicators were counted to obtain 187 outcome indicators with a cumulative total of 1 540 occurrences,which were categorized into six indicator domains:symptoms and signs,physicochemical testing,TCM symptoms/signs,clinical efficacy evaluation,safety evaluation and quality of life evaluation;among them,the physicochemical testing indicators(112 types,926 times)had the highest frequency of occurrences,followed by the clinical efficacy evaluation(13 types.340 times),and safety evaluation(24 types,193 times).Conclusion The overall quality of randomized controlled trials of TCM treatment of pediatric myocarditis is low,and there are problems with primary and secondary differentiation of outcome indicators and lack of TCM characteristics.There is an urgent need to improve the core set of endpoint indicators that highlight the characteristics of TCM in order to improve the quality of clinical research.

AIM To investigate the effects of Shuyu Pills combined with evolimus on the epithelial mesenchymal transformation of triple negative breast cancer cells 4T1 and MDA-MB-231 induced by TGF-β1.METHODS The 4T1 and MDA-MB-231 cells were divided into the blank group and the induction group to induce the epithelial mesenchymal transformation with TGF-β1 cytokine treatment,followed by the assignment into the model group,the Shuyu Pills group,the everolimus group and the Shuyu Pills combined with everolimus group.CCK8 method,plate cloning method,cell scratch test and Transewll test were used to detect the proliferation,cloning formation,migration and invasion ability of the cells whose expressions of E-cadherin,N-cadherin,Vimentin,MMP9,MMP2 and pathway proteins PTEN,PI3K,Akt and mTOR were detected by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the blank group,the induction group displayed a cell morphological change from epithelioid to stromal,decreased expression of E-cadherin protein(P＜0.01);and increased protein expressions of N-cadherin and Vimentin(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,each group intervened with the medicine displayed decreased proliferation,clone formation,migration and invasion ability of both kinds of cells(P＜0.01);increased protein expressions of PTEN and E-cadherin(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and decreased protein expressions of PI3K,Akt,mTOR,N-cadherin,Vimentin,MMP9 and MMP2(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and more significantly in the Shuyu Pills combined with evolimus group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION With a more ideal effect than the single uses in inhibiting the TGF-β1-induced epithelial mesenchymal transformation of triple-negative breast cancer cells,the combination use of Shuyu Pills and everolimus may work through the regulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of angiogenesis inhibitors and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer using a mesh meta-system.Methods:Subject terms were used to search Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and web of science databases to collect randomized controlled trials related to angiogenesis inhibitors and PARP inhibitors in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer. The search time was established until January 1, 2024. Outcome measures included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Bias risk assessment was performed using Revman 5.4 software and mesh meta-analysis was performed using gemtc package in R 4.3.1 software.Results:34 randomized controlled trials were included in the PFS and 26 in the OS. Olaparib ( HR=0.63, 95% CI: 0.40-0.99), rucaparib ( HR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.24-0.99), niraparib ( HR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.26-0.93), niraparib+ bevacizumab ( HR=0.17, 95% CI: 0.05-0.61), chemotherapy+ bevacizumab+ maintenance bevacizumab ( HR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.3-0.97) and chemotherapy+ bevacizumab ( HR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.31-0.81) had longer PFS than conventional platinum-based chemotherapy/chemotherapy+ placebo. Niraparib+ bevacizumab had the longest PFS of all pharmacological interventions. Chemotherapy plus bevacizumab ( HR=0.72, 95% CI: 0.57 -0.88) had a longer OS than conventional platinum-based chemotherapy/chemotherapy plus placebo. Conclusions:There is limited evidence that angiogenesis inhibitors alone (bevacizumab) or PARP inhibitors alone (niraparib, olaparib, and rucaparib) can improve PFS or OS in recurrent ovarian cancer, and that the combination of angiogenesis inhibitors and PARP inhibitors may be more beneficial in prolonging PFS or OS in recurrent ovarian cancer.

Aim To investigate the effect of oroxylin A(OA)on apoptosis in Ishikawa cell line of endometrial cancer and the underlying mechanism through the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/AKT)signaling pathway.Methods Ishikawa cells were treated with different concentrations of OA(0,4,8,10,12,and 20 μmol·L-1)for 24 h-72 h,the cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay,apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,and the protein ex-pression levels of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax),PI3K/AKT,recombinant cytochrome P450 1B1(CYP1B1),and catechol-O-methyltransferase(COMT)were detected by Western blot technique.Results OA inhibited the prolifera-tion of Ishikawa cells in a concentration-and time-de-pendent manner.Compared with the blank control group,the expression of Bax protein increased signifi-cantly,while the expression of Bcl-2 protein decreased significantly with the increase of OA concentration.The expression of COMT protein increased significant-ly,while the expression of CYP1B1 protein decreased significantly.PI3K/AKT:IGF-1(PI3 K agonist)sup-plementation reversed the effect,the expression of COMT protein significantly decreased,and the expres-sion of CYP1B1 protein significantly increased.Con-clusions OA exerts anti-tumor effects in Ishikawa cells of endometrial cancer,which may be related to cell apoptosis mediated by the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Background: and Purpose Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a severe complication associated with adverse functional outcomes and increased mortality rates. Currently, a reliable predictive model for sICH risk after EVT is lacking. Methods: This study used data from patients aged ≥20 years who underwent EVT for anterior circulation stroke from the nationwide Taiwan Registry of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke (TREAT-AIS). A predictive model including factors associated with an increased risk of sICH after EVT was developed to differentiate between patients with and without sICH. This model was compared existing predictive models using nationwide registry data to evaluate its relative performance. Results: Of the 2,507 identified patients, 158 developed sICH after EVT. Factors such as diastolic blood pressure, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, platelet count, glucose level, collateral score, and successful reperfusion were associated with the risk of sICH after EVT. The TREAT-AIS score demonstrated acceptable predictive accuracy (area under the curve [AUC]=0.694), with higher scores being associated with an increased risk of sICH (odds ratio=2.01 per score increase, 95% confidence interval=1.64–2.45, P<0.001). The discriminatory capacity of the score was similar in patients with symptom onset beyond 6 hours (AUC=0.705). Compared to existing models, the TREAT-AIS score consistently exhibited superior predictive accuracy, although this difference was marginal. Conclusions The TREAT-AIS score outperformed existing models, and demonstrated an acceptable discriminatory capacity for distinguishing patients according to sICH risk levels. However, the differences between models were only marginal. Further research incorporating periprocedural and postprocedural factors is required to improve the predictive accuracy.
