OBJECTIVE To provide evidence for the safe clinical application of Trastuzumab for injection. METHODS Reports of adverse drug reaction （ADR） related to Trastuzumab for injection submitted in Beijing from June 2018 to May 2023 were collected. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0 software. The gender and age of patients with ADRs， outcome， types of cancer， and the time of onset， severity， affected organs/systems of ADRs were included for analyses. The univariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted on patient fever and ADR prognosis. RESULTS A total of 195 patients with 318 instances of ADRs were included in the study. Women （87.69%） and patients aged 60-69 （33.85%） were more likely to experience ADRs. Breast cancer dominated （86.67%） in terms of cancer types； in terms of outcomes， most patients （67.69%） showed improvement， and some patients （27.69%） achieved full recovery. Overall， 68.72% of ADRs mainly occurred on the day of medication， and 95.38% of ADRs were of “moderate” severity. The most affected organs/systems were general diseases and various reactions at the administration site （40.57%）， with chills （18.87%） and fever （18.24%） being the most common. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that fever mostly occurred within 1 day of medication （OR＝5.63， 95%CI was 2.26-14.02， P＜ 0.001）. The time of onset of ADR greater than 1 day was a risk factor for poor ADR prognosis （OR＝20.08， 95%CI was 2.45- 164.43， P＝0.005）， mainly manifesting as bone marrow suppression and liver function abnormalities. Neutrophilia， cardiorespiratory arrest， and mixed liver damage were new ADRs not recorded in the drug’s instructions. CONCLUSION Women and patients aged ≥60 are high-risk groups for ADRs of Trastuzumab for injection. Chills and fever remain the most common ADRs of this drug， and these symptoms mostly occur within 1 day of medication， which have better prognoses. Close attention should be paid to the patient’s temperature changes on the day of drug infusion， with timely intervention. Regular monitoring of the patient’s hematological indicators is necessary to detect any bone marrow suppression and liver function abnormalities after medication.

Objective:To investigate symptoms of anxiety and depression among primary and middle school students quarantined in hotels during the COVID-19 epidemic.Methods:Anxiety and depression symptoms among 726 primary and middle school students quarantined in hotels were investigated with The Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders(SCARED)and Depression Self-rating Scale for Children(DSRSC)from September to October 2022 in Chifeng City,Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.There were 624 students completed investi-gation with response rate of 86％.The positive score of SCARED was ≥23 and DSRSC was ≥ 15.Results:The detection rates of anxiety and depression were 17.9％and 15.4％respectively.The detection rates of anxiety and depression were higherin middle school students than inprimary school students(Ps＜0.05).The scores of general-ized anxiety and social phobia factors were higher in female students than in male students(Ps＜0.05).The scores of dissociative anxiety factor and depression were higher in middle school students than in primary school students(Ps＜0.05).Conclusion:During the COVID-19 epidemic,middle school students quarantined in hotels are more likely to have anxiety and depression symptoms than primary school students,and female students are more likely to have anxiety symptoms than male students.

Polygala tenuifolia,commonly known as Yuanzhi(YZ)in Chinese,has been shown to possess anti-insomnia properties.However,the material basis and the mechanism underlying its sedative-hypnotic effects remain unclear.Herein,we investigated the active components and neurochemical mechanism of YZ extracts using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS)-based pharmaco-metabolomics and mass spectrometry imaging(MSI)-based spatial resolved metabolomics.According to the results,17 prototypes out of 101 ingredients in the YZ extract were detected in both the plasma and brain,which might be the major components contributing to the sedative-hypnotic effects.Network pharmacology analysis revealed that these prototypes may exert their effects through neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,serotonergic synapse,dopaminergic synapse,and dopaminergic synapse,among other pathways.LC-MS/MS-based targeted metabolomics and Western blot(WB)revealed that tryptophan-serotonin-melatonin(Trp-5-HT-Mel)and tyrosine-norepinephrine-adrenaline(Tyr-Ne-Ad)are the key regulated pathways.Dopa decarboxylase(DDC)upregulation and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase(PNMT)downregulation further confirmed these pathways.Furthermore,MSI-based spatially resolved metabolomics revealed notable alterations in 5-HT in the pineal gland(PG),and Ad in the brainstem,including the middle brain(MB),pons(PN),and hypothalamus(HY).In summary,this study illustrates the efficacy of an integrated multidimensional metabolomics approach in unraveling the sedative-hypnotic effects and neurochemical mechanisms of a Chinese herbal medicine,YZ.

Objective:To explore the correlation between endogenous sex hormone factors and sexual function in Chinese women.Methods:A total of 711 women who met the criteria were investigated in the Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Chaoyang District Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, Beijing Chaoyang District Taiyanggong Community Health Service Centre from April 2020 to March 2021. Sociodemographic data (data split into two groups according to educational background: high school or above and lower high school; and three categories based on marital relationship: satisfied, average, and dissatisfied) and serum levels of sex hormones were collected. Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) was evaluated using the female sexual function index (FSFI). Participants were divided into three groups according to the Stages of Reproductive Aging Workshop (STRAW+10): reproductive stage group, menopausal transition stage group and postmenopausal stage group. Spearman rank correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to determine the correlation between characteristics and scores of FSFI.Results:The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that postmenopausal stage, secondary education level, neutral and dissatisfied marital relations were significantly negatively correlated with total FSFI score (all P<0.01). Secondary education level, neutral and dissatisfied marital relations were negatively associated with nearly all FSFI domains apart from pain score (all P<0.05); postmenopausal stage was negatively associated with lubrication, satisfaction and pain (all P<0.05). FSH was negatively associated with all FSFI domain scores (all P<0.05). There was a significantly positive correlation between estradiol and scores of FSFI dimensions other than orgasm and satisfaction (all P<0.05). Total testosterone positively affected the score of total FSFI and desire (all P<0.05); free testosterone was positively related to orgasm ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Estradiol and total testosterone serve as protective factors for female sexual function.

ObjectiveTo investigate the tumor-suppressing effect of Shenqi Yiliu prescription combined with cisplatin in hepatoma H22-bearing mice based on the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten （PTEN）/phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） pathway. MethodH22-bearing mice were prepared and randomized into model group， cisplatin group， and cisplatin combined with high-， medium-， and low-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription groups， with 10 mice in each group. Another 10 healthy mice were randomly selected as normal group. Shenqi Yiliu prescription was given by gavage with the high， medium， low dose of 54.06， 27.03， 13.515 g·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively， and cisplatin （2.5 mg·kg^-1） was administered by intraperitoneal injection， twice a week. Normal group and model group received normal saline. After 13 days of treatment， mice were killed and the tumor inhibition rate was calculated. The pathomorphological changes of tumor were observed based on hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） and immunofluorescence method were used to detect the content of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A （p21） and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B （p27） in tumor tissue of mice. The levels of PTEN， PI3K and phosphorylated protein kinase B （p-Akt） in tumor tissue were measured by Western blot. ResultCompared with the model group， cisplatin alone and cisplatin in combination with the high-， medium-， and low-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription decreased tumor mass （P<0.05）， particularly the cisplatin in combination with the high-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription. Necrosis of the tumor tissue was observed in each group， especially the cisplatin combined with high-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription group. As compared with the model group， cisplatin alone and cisplatin in combination with the high-， medium-， and low-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription raised the expression of p21， p27， and PTEN （P<0.05） and lowered the expression of PI3K and p-Akt （P<0.05）， particularly the cisplatin in combination with high-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription. ConclusionShenqi Yiliu prescription may regulate the expression of key molecules in PTEN/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， thereby upregulating the expression of downstream proliferation inhibitors p21 and p27， further suppressing the tumor in H22-bearing mice， and enhancing the effect of chemotherapy.
