OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of drug-induced liver injury （DILI） induced by glucagon- like peptide-1 receptor agonists （GLP-1RAs）， and to provide a reference for safe clinical medication. METHODS Using search terms such as “GLP-1”“GLP-1RAs”“semaglutide” “drug-induced liver injury”， relevant studies from PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， CNKI， Wanfang Data and VIP were retrieved. Descriptive analysis was performed on cases of DILI induced by GLP-1RAs. RESULTS A total of 11 studies， comprising 11 patients， were included. Among them， 4 were male （36.4%） and 7 were female （63.6%）. Patient ages ranged from 17 to 64 years； 5 patients （45.5%） were between 50 and 65 years old. Six patients were treated for diabetes， and five for weight loss. Ten patients had underlying diseases. The shortest time to the onset of DILI was 5 days after medication， while the longest was approximately 180 days. The DILIs induced by GLP-1RAs were mainly hepatocellular injury type （6 cases）； severity levels included severe （3 cases）， moderate （6 cases）， and mild （2 cases）. Gastrointestinal symptoms and jaundice were the most common clinical manifestations. The association between DILI and GLP- 1RAs was assessed as “probable” in 10 cases and “possible” in 1 case. All 11 patients improved after drug discontinuation and （or） corresponding treatment. CONCLUSIONS DILI induced by GLP-1RAs is relatively concentrated in patients aged 50-65， with a higher incidence in females. The risk may be further increased in patients with underlying diseases. Clinical use of these agents should enhance pharmaceutical care， including identification of high-risk populations and patient education （especially symptom recognition）. When relevant symptoms appear， the drug should be discontinued immediately， with liver-protective therapy initiated when necessary， to ensure patient safety of drug use.

OBJECTIVE To establish a preparation system for megakaryocytes(MKs)derived from human embryonic stem cells(hESCs)and MK microparticles(MKMPs),and to assess the pro-angio-genic efficiency of these microparticles.METHODS ①hESCs were induced to mesodermal progenitor cells via monolayer culture with the first-stage induction medium for 2 days before the cells were induced to hemogenic endothelial/hematopoietic progenitor cells by culturing with the second-stage induction medium for another 3 days.Then,the cells were dissociated into single cells,seeded into the third-stage induction medium,and cultured using the suspension method for 8 days to obtain MKs.The specific characters of differentiated cells were identified through morphological observation and flow cytometry before stage-specific marker proteins in different periods were analyzed[hESCs:TRA-1-60,sialyl glycolipid stage-specific embryonic antigen4(SSEA4)];mesodermal progenitor cells:brachyury;hemogenic endothelial/hematopoietic progenitor cells:CD34,CD43;MKs:CD41a,CD42b),and immu-nofluorescence staining[β1-tubulin,von Willebrand factor(VWF)],[friend leukemia integration 1(FLI1),CD42].② MKMP collection and verification:MKMPs were collected via differential centrifugation.The concentration and size of these MKMPs were determined by nanoparticle tracking analysis(NTA),and both the morphology and ultrastructure were examined by transmission electron microscopy(TEM).Besides,the MKMPs-specific proteins[CD41,tumor susceptibility gene 101(TSG101)and CD9]were detected by Western blotting analysis.③ Biological function of MKMPs:MKMPs were stained with CD41a-PE antibodies and co-cultured with human umbilical veinvascular endothelial cells(HUVECs)labeled by CD34-APC for 3 h.Live-cell immunofluorescence was employed to find out whether HUVECs could absorb MKMPs.To find out whether MKMPs could affect the role of HUVECs in angio-genesis and cell migration,platelet microvesicles(PMPs)were used as positive controls.The experi-mental groups were added with different concentrations of microparticles(1,5,10 and 20 mg·L-1)while the control group was given no microparticles(0 mg·L-1).The number of nodes that formed the lumen after 5 h of incubation in Matrigel was counted,and the size of healing of the scratch area was analyzed after 6 h.To elucidate the mechanism through which MKMPs impacted angiogenesis,ELISA was used out to quantitatively detect the concentration of proteins in microparticles.RESULTS ① A three-stage differentiation cultural system was established to develop hESCs into MKs.Flow cytometry revealed progressive loss of pluripotency markers SSEA4 and TRA-1-60,while the mesodermal progenitor marker brachyury peaked at d 2.Subsequently,hemogenic endothelial/hematopoietic progenitor markers CD34 and CD43 emerged at d 5,followed by megakaryocytic markers CD41a and CD42b at d 13.Immunofluorescent images further demonstrated that MKs expressed specific proteins CD42,β1-tubulin,von VWF and FLI1 at d 13.②Microparticles were collected via differential centrifuga-tion.Transmission electron microscopy revealed that their substructure exhibited a typical double-layered membrane.Nanoparticle tracking analysis indicated that the size was(164.3±14.0)nm.The result of WB demonstrated that the microparticles expressed specific markers,including TSG101,CD9 and CD41.③ MKMPs were absorbed after being co-cultured with HUVECs for 3 h and enhanced the ability of HUVECs to form tubes and migrate.Notably,the treatment of 5 mg·L-1 MKMPs was more effective than 5 mg·L-1 PMPs treatment.The results of ELISA showed that the content of VEGF from MKMPs was higher than from PMPs,which may be the key factor in regulating endothelial biological function.CONCLUSION MKs derived from hESCs can generate functional microparticles which can promote angiogenesis.

Objective:To explore the mechanisms of oxaliplatin resistance mediated by TET2 methylation in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) using bioinformatics methods.Methods:The data on drug-resistant and sensitive cell lines related to oxaliplatin treatment for ALL were download using the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) database (updated in December 2023); the drug-resistant cell lines were screened based on half maximal inhibitory concentration ( IC50) > 10 μmol/L, and the difference in IC50 between drug-resistant and sensitive cell lines were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test. The cancer driver mutation genes in drug-resistant cell lines were retrieved using the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) database (updated in December 2023). Using the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network functional enrichment analysis (STRING) database (updated in June 2024), PPI network analysis was performed on cancer driver mutation genes with biological functions. A confidence threshold of ≥ 0.7 (high confidence) and an average network node degree above 4 (high average) were selected to screen for cancer driver mutation genes with significant biological functions. Using the microRNA Data Integration Portal (mirDIP) database (updated in June 2024), the coexpression data of microRNA (miRNA) and mutant target genes were queried, miRNA-target gene pairs were screened according to the highest score threshold of 1% miRNA and interaction score > 0.9, and the regulatory effect of miRNA on mutant genes was analyzed. DNA methylation data were download from the Methylation in Human Cancer (MethHC) database (updated in June 2024) and the methylSig R software package was used to analyze the differentially methylated regions (DMR) of DNA methylation between drug-resistant and sensitive cell lines; genes with P < 0.05 and absolute difference > 0.2 were selected, and they were divided into high methylation gene group and low methylation gene group. Spearman correlation analysis and Spearman rank test were performed for the degree of methylation and gene expression, and the key genes with P < 0.01 were screened to reveal the relationship between methylation degree and gene expression. Results:As a result of searching the GDSC database, there were a total of 9 drug-resistant cell lines and 17 sensitive cell lines related to oxaliplatin treatment for ALL; after Z-score normalization of IC50 data between drug-resistant and sensitive cell lines, the average rank of drug-resistant cell lines was 21, and the average rank of sensitive cell lines was 8.5, with a statistically significant difference ( Z = -4.08, P < 0.01). Eight cancer driver mutation genes with significant biological functions that lead to drug resistance of the cell lines were screened using the CCLE database and STRING database. According to the mirDIP database, there were a total of 12 pairs of miRNA-target gene pairs with miRNA-target gene interaction scores >0.9. miRNA had strong regulatory effects on the expressions of NRAS and MAP2K1 target genes. In the MethHC database, the β values (numerical value of increased methylation level) of DMR for genes such as TP53, RXRG and SGIP in drug-resistant cell lines were 0.151, 0.165 and 0.149, respectively, compared to those in sensitive cell lines, the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01). The degree of methylation of SGIP gene was negatively correlated with the relative expression level of SGIP mRNA ( r = -0.71, P < 0.01), and SGIP gene underwent high methylation at promoter site 143886940. The cg08321569 locus in the TET2 gene domain of drug-resistant cell lines exhibited persistent high methylation, with a methylation level of β = 0.89. This locus was located 1.2 kb downstream of the transcription start point of exon 4, and the degree of TET2 methylation was negatively correlated with the relative expression level of TET2b mRNA ( r = -0.81, P < 0.01). Conclusions:TET2 methylation may be an important factor for oxaliplatin resistance in the treatment of ALL.

Objective To develop an instrument for predicting postoperative constipation risks in patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture(OTLF)who have undergone percutaneous kyphoplasty(PKP).Methods A total of 858 OTLF patients who underwent PKP surgery between January 2020 and December 2024 were enrolled.The patients were randomly assigned to a training set(n=600)and a validation set(n=258)in a 7∶3 ratio.According to whether the patients had postoperative constipation,the training set was divided into a constipation group(n=205)and a non-constipation group(n=395),and the validation set was divided into a constipation group(n=90)and a non-constipation group(n=168).Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the factors influencing postoperative constipation in OTLF patients after PKP,and a nomogram model was constructed accordingly.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and the calibration curve of the model were plotted,and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test for goodness of fit was performed.Results A total of 205 OTLF patients(34.17%)in the training set and 90 OTLF patients(34.88%)in the validation set experienced constipation after PKP.Univariate analysis revealed significant differences between the constipation and non-constipation groups in terms of operative time,postoperative water intake,time to first postoperative meal,postoperative bed rest time,the levels of Bifidobacterium,Lactobacillus,Enterococcus,and Enterobacter,the Nutrition Risk Screening 2002(NRS-2002)score,and the levels of sodium,potassium,and HbA1c(P<0.05).Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression was performed and operative time,time to first postoperative meal,the levels of Bifidobacterium,Lactobacillus,Enterococcus,and Enterobacter,the NRS-2002 score,and the levels of sodium,potassium,and HbA1c were identified as candidate predictors.Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the time to first postoperative meal,the levels of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus,the NRS-2002 score,and the levels of sodium and HbA1c were influencing factors of postoperative constipation in OTLF patients(P<0.05).The ROC curves showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the training set was 0.842(95%CI:0.793-0.892),while that of the validation set was 0.860(95%CI:0.830-0.889).The calibration curves demonstrated good agreement between the prediction curve and the standard curve in both the training set and the validation set.Conclusion The time to the first postoperative meal,the NRS2002 score,and the levels of Bifidobacterium,Lactobacillus,sodium,and HbA1c are influencing factors of post-PKP constipation in OTLF patients.The nomogram model built based on these factors exhibited good predictive performance.

Objective To explore the effects and underlying molecular mechanisms of high fat diet(HFD)on in-testinal barrier damage and inflammatory reaction in mice with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)induced by sodium dextran sulfate(DSS).Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups(n=6):Normal group,DSS group(1.5％DSS solution for one week),HFD+DSS group,and HFD+DSS+WY14643 group(intraperitone-ally injected daily with PPARα agonist WY14643 6 mg/kg).The body weight and liver weight of mice were measured.Colon pathology was observed by HE staining.The protein expression of zonula occludens-1(ZO-1)and occludin was detected by immunohistochemistry.The mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-β(IL-1β),and interleukin-17(IL-17)were determined by qRT-PCR.PPARα protein expression was determined by Western blot.Results The body weight and liver weight of mice in the HFD+DSS group were significantly higher than those in the DSS group(P＜0.001).HE staining showed normal colonic tissue structure in Normal group,while other three groups exhibited varying degrees of mucosal damage with a small amount of in-flammatory cell infiltration and epithelial cell shedding.Among these,the HFD+DSS group displayed the most se-vere intestinal mucosal damage and inflammatory infiltration.Compared with the DSS group,the HFD+DSS group showed decreased ZO-1 and Occludin protein expression(P＜0.001),elevated TNF-α,IL-1 β,and IL-17 mRNA levels(all P＜0.001),and downregulated PPARα protein expression(P＜0.01).Compared with the HFD+DSS group,mice in HFD+DSS+WY14643 group showed improvement in intestinal mucosal damage and reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells.The protein expression of ZO-1 and occludin in colon of mice in the HFD+DSS+WY14643 was increased(all P＜0.05),while the expression of TNF-α,IL-1 β,and IL-17 mRNA was downregulated(P＜0.01 or P＜0.05),and the protein expression of PPAR α was upregulated(P＜0.05).Conclusions HFD-induced obesity aggravates intestinal mucosal damage,intestinal barrier destruction and in-flammatory response in IBS mice,and its molecular mechanism is potentially related to downregulation of PPARαexpression in intestinal tissues.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of CT-guided coaxial needle biopsy in pancreatic puncture-cutting biopsy via adipose tissue space.Methods The clinical data of 30 patients,who received CT-guided pancreatic coaxial needle biopsy via adipose tissue space at the Pingdu Hospital Area of Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University of China from June 2021 to April 2024,were retrospectively analyzed.The patients included 20 males and 10 females with a mean age of(65.1±8.7)years.The lesions were located in the pancreatic head(n=7),pancreatic neck(n=4),pancreatic body(n=7),pancreatic tail(n=10)and uncinate process(n=2).Under CT guidance,a 17 G co-axial guiding needle was inserted to establish a puncture pass through adipose tissue space,then an 18 G biopsy needle was used to make tissue sampling.A total of 32 procedures of pancreatic puncture-cutting biopsy were performed,two of these patients received two times of biopsy.After sampling,a self-made blocking agent(a mixed liquid of gelatin sponge particles and snake venom hemagglutinin),was used to occlude the puncture channel so as to prevent complications such as bleeding,pancreatic leakage,needle tract implantation metastasis,etc.Results A total of 32 procedures of pancreatic puncture-cutting biopsy with coaxial guiding needle via adipose tissue space were performed,including two patients who received two times of biopsy.The success rate of puncturing was 100％(32/32),the success rate of sampling was 93.8％(30/32),and the accuracy of sampling was 93.8％(30/32).No serious puncture-related complications occurred in all patients.Conclusion CT-guided pancreatic coaxial needle biopsy via adipose tissue space is clinically safe,accurate in sampling and minimally-invasive.This interventional diagnostic technique is worth applying in clinical practice.
