Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of different cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) combined with endocrine therapy (ET) for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−) advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on CDK4/6i for the treatment of HR+/HER2− metastatic or advanced breast cancer were retrieved from databases including PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and SinoMed, with the search period ranging from database inception to August 2023. Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted using R 4.2.0 software. Results A total of 18 RCTs from 25 articles, involving 8 031 patients and 11 treatment regimens, were included. There was no significant difference in progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) among different CDK4/6i+ET combinations. The highest cumulative probability for PFS was observed with dalpiciclib (DAL)+fulvestrant (FUL), while ribociclib (RIB)+FUL ranked first for OS. In terms of efficacy, abemaciclib (ABE)+aromatase inhibitors (AI) and ABE+FUL ranked first in objective response rate and clinical benefit rate, respectively. Regarding safety, statistically significant difference in grade 3-4 adverse events was observed among certain types of CDK4/6i (P<0.05). Conclusion Current evidence suggests that CDK4/6i+ET is superior to ET alone for the treatment of HR+/HER2− advanced/metastatic breast cancer. Different CDK4/6i+ET combinations demonstrate comparable or similar efficacy; however, the incidence of adverse reactions is higher with combination therapy. Treatment regimens should be selected based on individual conditions.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a novel class of antidiabetic drugs that also possess lipid- lowering and cardiovascular protective effects, with liraglutide and semaglutide being their representative medications. Based on a systematic literature search, this review summarizes the lipid-lowering mechanisms by which liraglutide and semaglutide exert direct effects on the liver and kidney (regulating autophagy, key lipid metabolism pathways, reverse cholesterol transport, etc.), direct actions on adipose tissue (affecting adipocyte proliferation and differentiation, expression of lipid metabolism proteins, and gene transcription), activation of sympathetic pathways through the central nervous system, and modulation of the gut microbiota. Additionally, it summarizes the clinical evidence of their lipid-lowering effects in populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus, overweight individuals, and others. These findings indicate that GLP-1 receptor agonists exert lipid-lowering effects by acting on multiple tissues or systems, providing crucial evidence for further elucidating the molecular mechanisms of these drugs in lipid regulation and exploring potential new ideas for their clinical applications.

With the development of society and changes in people's lifestyles, diabetes mellitus (DM) has become a major risk factor threatening human health, with its incidence rate increasing year by year. Based on the theory of "excessive fire consumes qi while mild fire generates qi", combined with the pathological mechanism and symptom characteristics of DM complicated with heart failure (HF), it is considered that deficiency and insufficiency of "less fire" and excessive "strong fire" consume qi are the fundamental pathogenesis of the occurrence and development of the two diseases. Phlegm, dampness, blood stasis and water are all from this, which further aggravates the disease. The basic treatment principle of "tonifying qi, activating yang, supporting Shao fire, clearing heat, detoxifying and strengthening fire" was proposed. Combined with the different emphasis of patients' syndromes, the treatment methods of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, diuresis and phlegm were supplemented, in order to improve the clinical symptoms of patients and improve the survival rate.

Purpose:
The genomic characteristics of uterine sarcomas have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to explore the genomic landscape of the uterine sarcomas (USs).
Materials and Methods:
Comprehensive genomic analysis through RNA-sequencing was conducted. Gene fusion, differentially expressed genes (DEGs), signaling pathway enrichment, immune cell infiltration, and prognosis were analyzed. A deep learning model was constructed to predict the survival of US patients.
Results:
A total of 71 US samples were examined, including 47 endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESS), 18 uterine leiomyosarcomas (uLMS), three adenosarcomas, two carcinosarcomas, and one uterine tumor resembling an ovarian sex-cord tumor. ESS (including high-grade ESS [HGESS] and low-grade ESS [LGESS]) and uLMS showed distinct gene fusion signatures; a novel gene fusion site, MRPS18A–PDC-AS1 could be a potential diagnostic marker for the pathology differential diagnosis of uLMS and ESS; 797 and 477 uterine sarcoma DEGs (uDEGs) were identified in the ESS vs. uLMS and HGESS vs. LGESS groups, respectively. The uDEGs were enriched in multiple pathways. Fifteen genes including LAMB4 were confirmed with prognostic value in USs; immune infiltration analysis revealed the prognositic value of myeloid dendritic cells, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, natural killer cells, macrophage M1, monocytes and hematopoietic stem cells in USs; the deep learning model named Max-Mean Non-Local multi-instance learning (MMN-MIL) showed satisfactory performance in predicting the survival of US patients, with the area under the receiver operating curve curve reached 0.909 and accuracy achieved 0.804.
Conclusion
USs harbored distinct gene fusion characteristics and gene expression features between HGESS, LGESS, and uLMS. The MMN-MIL model could effectively predict the survival of US patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of myo-inositol on the reactivation of ocular dominance plasticity in the visual cortex of adult mice and its mechanisms.Methods:Thirty-two male SPF-grade C57BL/6J mice at postnatal day 60 (P60) were randomly divided into four groups using a random number table: normal control group, monocular form deprivation (MD) group, myo-inositol group (myo-inositol administered to normal mice), and MD+ myo-inositol group (myo-inositol administered to MD mice), with 8 mice in each group.The right eyes of MD group and MD+ myo-inositol group received MD on P60.Mice in each group were housed until P64 when pattern visual evoked potential (P-VEP) recordings were performed in both eyes.The amplitude and peak time of P100 wave were measured, and the contralateral/ipsilateral ratio (C/I) was calculated to evaluate the shift of ocular dominance.Twenty-four mice were randomly divided into MD group and MD+ myo-inositol group using the random number table method, with 12 mice in each group.RNA was extracted from the visual cortex of the two groups of mice, and transcriptomic sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were performed to screen differentially expressed genes.Six mice were randomly divided into MD group and MD+ myo-inositol group using the random number table method, with 3 mice in each group, and the expression changes of differentially expressed genes cell communication network factor 1( CCN1), fatty acid binding protein 7( Fabp7) and galectin-3 binding protein ( Lgals3bp) were verified by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.This study adhered to the Regulations on the Administration of Laboratory Animals (2017 Edition), and the research protocol was approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of Tianjin Medical University (No.TMUaMEC2022004). Results:The P-VEP results showed that the right eye P100 amplitudes in the normal control, MD, myo-inositol and MD+ myo-inositol groups were (89.04±19.87), (83.04±9.42), (88.14±21.75) and (61.75±15.42)μV, and the P100 wave peak time were (102.40±5.64), (101.50±8.26), (101.33±8.66) and (111.30±7.17)ms, and C/I were 2.38±0.17, 2.35±0.22, 2.41±0.31, and 1.65±0.24, respectively, with statistically significant overall differences ( F=5.844, 2.221, 16.634; all P<0.05).Compared with the normal control group, MD group and myo-inositol group, the MD+ myo-inositol group had a significant decrease in the P100 wave amplitude in the right eye, a significant prolongation of the P100 wave peak time, and a significant decrease in the C/I, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05).There was no significant difference in P100 wave amplitude or peak time in the left eyes among the normal control, MD, myo-inositol and MD+ myo-inositol groups ( F=0.249, 1.356; both P>0.05).The transcriptome sequencing results showed that there were significant differences in the expression of 93 genes between the MD+ myo-inositol group and the MD group, among which the differential expression of CCN1, Fabp7 and Lgals3bp genes related to visual plasticity was particularly significant.The real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR results verified that the expression of CCN1 in the MD+ myo-inositol group was significantly decreased, and the expression of Fabp7 and Lgals3bp was significantly increased, with statistically significant differences ( t=17.561, 9.237, 12.710; all P<0.001). Conclusions:Myo-inositol can effectively reactivate ocular dominance plasticity in the visual cortex in adult mice, and may mediate this process by regulating the expression of specific genes CCN1, Fabp7, and Lgals3bp.
