OBJECTIVE To mine and analyze adverse event signals associated with inebilizumab， and to provide reference for safe and rational clinical use. METHODS Reports of adverse event related to inebilizumab were collected from the FDA adverse event reporting system （FAERS） database， from Q2 2020 to Q4 2024. Adverse events were standardized and categorized according to the preferred term （PT） and system organ class （SOC） of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities （MedDRA） version 26.0. Signals were mined using the reporting odds ratio （ROR） method and the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network （BCPNN） method. RESULTS A total of 783 adverse event reports with inebilizumab as the primary suspected drug were identified， involving 297 patients. Most reports originated from the United States and Japan， with physicians being the primary reporters. Female patients outnumbered males， and the most common age group was 45-64 years. Using the ROR method and BCPNN method， a total of 29 valid adverse event signals were detected， involving 12 SOCs and comprising 225 adverse event reports. The five most frequently reported PTs were headache， nausea， fatigue， infectious pneumonia and arthralgia. The five PTs with the strongest signal intensity were： B-cell recovery， decreased blood immunoglobulin G， spinal compression fracture， COVID-19 and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Among the 29 valid signals for adverse event， 19 were not documented in the drug package inserts， involving 10 SOCs and comprising 107 adverse event reports. These encompassed nervous system disorders， general disorders and administration site conditions， eye disorders， among others. CONCLUSIONS Inebilizumab treatment not only causes adverse events documented in the product information， such as infections， immunoglobulin reduction and infusion-related reactions but also leads to potential signals， including B-cell recovery， spinal compression fracture. When using this drug in clinical practice， the patient’s risk of infection and baseline immune status should be assessed， relevant indicators should be closely monitored， and targeted preventive measures should be considered when necessary.

BackgroundPatients with depressive disorder often exhibit impaired decision-making functions. However， the relationship between decision-making abilities and depressive and anxiety symptoms in these patients remains unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of decision-making behavior in patients with depressive disorder， and to analyze its relationship with clinical symptoms. MethodsA total of 48 patients diagnosed with depressive disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fourth edition （DSM-IV） were recruited from the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from October 2020 to May 2023. Concurrently， 52 healthy individuals matched for age and gender were recruited from Luzhou as the control group. Beck Depression Inventory （BDI） and Beck Anxiety Inventory （BAI） were used for assessment， and decision-making behavior was evaluated using Probabilistic Reversal Learning （PRL） task. Indicators assessed included the number of trials to criterion， perseverative errors， win-stay rate and lose-shift rate. Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between BDI and BAI scores and PRL task indicators. ResultsThe depression group showed a significantly higher lose-shift rate compared with the control group （t=3.684， P<0.01）. There were no statistically significant differences between two groups in trials to criterion， perseverative errors and win-stay rate （t=0.329， 0.132， 0.609， P>0.05）. In depression group， BDI and BAI scores were positively correlated with the win-stay rate（r=0.450， 0.398， P<0.01）. ConclusionPatients with depressive disorder are more likely to change their decision-making strategies following negative outcomes. Furthermore， the severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms is associated with a greater propensity to maintain existing decisions after receiving positive feedback. ［Funded by 2019 Joint Project of Luzhou Science and Technology Bureau-Southwest Medical University （number， 2019LZXNYDJ39］

Objective : To observe the brain tissue injury during hypoxia-ischemia, as well as the pathological changes and the expression of ferroptosis-related factors after the use of Shenfu injection(SFI), and to explore the protective effect of SFI on hypoxic-ischemic brain injury(HIBD) by inhibiting ferroptosis. Methods : An animal model of HIBD in SD rats was constructed and intervened with SFI. Pathologic changes in brain tissue were observed by HE staining methods. Nissen staining was used to observe neuron survival. Glutathione Peroxidase 4(GPX4) and Divalent Metal Transporter 1(DMT1) expression were detected in brain tissue by Western blot, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Reduced Glutathione(GSH), Lactate Dehydrogenase(LDH), Malondialdehyde(MDA), Superoxide Dismutase(SOD) and tissue iron content were determined with the kits. BV-2 microglial cell line(BV2) cells were culturedin vitroand divided into control group(Ctrl group), oxygen-glucose deprivation group(OGD group), iron ferroptosis-inducing group(Erastin group), iron ferroptosis-inhibiting group(Fer-1 group), Shenfu injection group(SFI group), and Erastin+Shenfu injection group(Erastin+SFI group). 2′,7′-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate(DCFH-DA) reactive oxygen species(ROS) fluorescent probe was used to detect the ROS release level; Immunofluorescence was used to observe intracellular GPX4, DMT1 expression. Results : Compared with the Sham group, rats in the HIBD group showed significant neuronal cell damage in brain tissue, decreased GPX4 expression(P<0.01), increased DMT1 expression(P<0.01), decreased GSH and SOD levels(P<0.01), and increased LDH, MDA and tissue iron levels(P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.01). In contrast, after the intervention of SFI, GPX4 expression was elevated(P<0.01), DMT1 expression decreased(P<0.01), GSH and SOD levels were elevated(P<0.01), and LDH, MDA, and tissue iron levels decreased(P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.01). The cells experiments showed that compared with the Ctrl group, the OGD group had a significantly higher ROS content and a decrease in the expression of GPX4 fluorescence intensity, and an increase in the fluorescence intensity of DMT1(P<0.01), compared with the OGD group, the ROS content was reduced in the SFI group, while the expression of GPX4 was elevated and the expression of DMT1 was reduced(P<0.01). Conclusion Hippocampal and cortical regions are severely damaged after HIBD in neonatal rats, and their brain tissues show decreased expression of GPX4 and increased expression of DMT1. The above suggests that ferroptosis is involved in HIBD brain injury in neonatal rats. In contrast, Shenfu injection has a protective effect on HIBD experimental animal model and BV2 cell injury model by reducing iron aggregation and ROS production.

Objective:To investigate the effect of altitude on the risk of pre-eclampsia (PE).Methods:This cross-sectional study included 19 246 pregnant women who delivered in Gansu Provincial Hospital from January 2016 to December 2020. General clinical data, pregnancy outcomes and neonatal outcomes were collected. The diagnosis of PE was based on the disease diagnosis coding of medical record information system and the Chinese guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (2020). According to the altitude of residence, the subjects were divided into low altitude group (9 931 cases), middle altitude group (9 068 cases) and high altitude group (247 cases). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between altitude and the risk of PE, after adjusting for confounding factors such as age, ethnicity, mode of conception, gestational diabetes mellitus, and hemoglobin level.Results:(1) Among the 19 246 pregnant women, 752 (3.91%, 752/19 246) were diagnosed with PE. The incidence of PE in the low altitude group, middle altitude group and high altitude group was 2.95% (293/9 931), 4.91% (445/9 068) and 5.67% (14/247), respectively. With the increase of living altitude, the incidence of PE increased significantly ( P<0.001). (2) The results of univariate logistic analysis showed that compared with the low altitude area, the risk of PE in pregnant women living in the middle altitude area and high altitude area increased by 70% ( OR=1.70, 95% CI: 1.46-1.97; P<0.001) and 98% ( OR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.14-3.43; P=0.016). (3) The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after fully adjusting for confounding factors, the risk of PE increased by 40% for every 500 meters of elevation ( OR=1.40, 95% CI: 1.25-1.57; P<0.001). Compared with those living in low altitude areas, the risk of PE in pregnant women living in middle altitude and high altitude areas increased by 72% ( OR=1.72, 95% CI: 1.47-2.00; P<0.001) and 100% ( OR=2.00, 95% CI: 1.07-3.74; P=0.030). Conclusion:In the high-altitude environment of Gansu Province, the risk of PE gradually increases with the increase of altitude.

Objective:To explore the clinical values of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199), carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724) and gastrin 17 (G-17) detections in the early diagnosis of gastric cancer patients.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. A total of 120 patients with gastric diseases who were admitted to General Hospital of Xuzhou Mining Group from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected. According to the pathological results of gastroscopy examination, the patients were divided into gastric ulcer group (23 cases), atrophic gastritis group (58 cases) and early gastric cancer group (39 cases). The healthy control group consisted of 30 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination during the same period. All participants were detected for serum levels of CEA, CA125, CA199, CA724, and G-17. The levels of various indicators in each group were compared. Using the pathological results of gastroscopy as the gold standard, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the efficacy of various indicators in distinguishing early gastric cancer from healthy individuals, gastric ulcer and atrophic gastritis.Results:The serum levels of CA125 [ M ( Q1, Q3)] [19.94 (8.29, 22.99) U/ml vs. 6.03 (4.07, 10.48) U/ml, 7.49 (4.96, 12.19) U/ml, 7.54 (6.20, 11.91) U/ml], CA199 [32.09 (15.68, 41.97) U/ml vs. 19.19 (10.01, 30.05) U/ml, 21.00(16.01, 32.71) U/ml, 18.95 (13.90, 32.76) U/ml], CA724 [19.55 (3.91, 26.25) U/ml vs. 4.61 (3.06, 5.24) U/ml, 4.09 (3.37, 5.00) U/ml, 4.88 (3.92, 5.46) U/ml] and G-17 [21.01 (14.67, 24.00) pmol/L vs. 11.80 (10.07, 16.58) pmol/L, 12.74 (11.09, 14.69) pmol/L, 12.08 (8.40, 15.10) pmol/L] in the early gastric cancer group were higher than those in the gastric ulcer group, atrophic gastritis group and healthy control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The CEA level in the early gastric cancer group, gastric ulcer group and atrophic gastritis group was all higher than that in the healthy control group [4.38 (3.22, 7.56) ng/ml, 4.51 (3.37, 5.51) ng/ml, 4.49 (4.13, 5.09) ng/ml vs. 3.95 (2.16, 4.44) ng/ml], and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that among all indicators, the area under the curve (AUC) of G-17 for distinguishing early gastric cancer from healthy individuals was the largest [0.825 (95% CI: 0.728-0.922)], the optimal critical value was 18.21 pmol/L, and the specificity was the highest (96.7%); the AUC of CA125 and CA724 was also relatively high, with values of 0.768 (95% CI: 0.653-0.884) and 0.744 (95% CI: 0.622-0.866), respectively, and the optimal critical values were 15.41 and 39.60 U/ml, respectively, with the corresponding sensitivities of 71.8%, which was the highest among several indicators. Among all indicators, CA125 had the largest AUC for distinguishing early gastric cancer from gastric ulcer, which was 0.829 (95% CI: 0.729-0.930), with an optimal critical value of 11.60 U/ml, and the corresponding sensitivity was also the highest (74.4%); the AUC of CEA and CA724 was 0.534 (0.391-0.677) and 0.786 (0.668-0.903), respectively; the optimal critical values were 7.20 ng/ml and 6.34 U/ml, respectively; the corresponding specificity was 100.0%. Among the various indicators, the AUC of G-17 for distinguishing early gastric cancer from atrophic gastritis was the largest [0.813 (95% CI: 0.710-0.915)]. The specificity of each indicator at the optimal critical value was relatively high (≥ 94.8%), among which the optimal critical values of CEA and CA125 were 7.170 ng/ml and 15.55 U/ml, respectively, with the corresponding specificity of 100.0%; the AUC of CA724 was 0.783 (95% CI: 0.671-0.895), the optimal critical value was 6.40 U/ml, and the corresponding sensitivity was 71.8%, which was the highest among the several indicators. Conclusions:CEA, CA125, CA199, CA724, and G-17 have high sensitivity and detection rate in the differential diagnosis of early gastric cancer, gastric ulcer and atrophic gastritis, and have certain clinical values in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer and potential for clinical auxiliary diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the role of curcumin (Cur) in improving IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and its related mechanisms.Methods:Fifty 7-month-old miR-23b knockout (miR-23b -/-) mice weighing (25±5) g were used to establish an IgAN disease model, and were randomly divided into IgAN group, IgAN+Cur (150 mg/kg) group and IgAN+Cur (300 mg/kg) group using simple randomisation. Sixteen healthy 7-month-old weighing (25±3) g C57BL/6J wild-type mice served as the normal control group. IgAN+Cur (150 mg/kg) and IgAN+Cur (300 mg/kg) groups were respectively gavaged continuously with 150 mg/kg Cur and 300 mg/kg Cur for 8 weeks, and the normal control and IgAN groups were gavaged continuously with an equal dose of 0.9% sodium chloride solution for 8 weeks. The samples of urine, serum, intestinal fluid, intestinal tissues, kidney tissues and liver tissues were collected from each group. In vitro experiments, human cloned colon adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) cells were divided into blank control (Ctrl), Ctrl+Cur (10 μmol/L), Ctrl+ Cur (60 μmol/L), tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α), TNF-α+Cur (10 μmol/L) and TNF-α+Cur (60 μmol/L) groups. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, secretory IgA (sIgA), creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, 24 h urine microalbumin, as well as sIgA, TNF-α, interleukin（IL)-6 and IL-1β in the intestinal fluids. HE staining was used to observe the effect of Cur on liver tissues, the hyperplasia of glomerular mesangial zone in kidney tissues and the morphological and structural changes of intestinal epithelial barrier, and the histopathological damage scores were performed respectively. PAS staining was used to observe the changes of glomerular basement membrane and mesangial matrix. Immunofluorescence was used to observe the deposition of immune complexes in the glomerular mesangial zone. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of B-cell activating factor ( BAFF) and a proliferation inducing ligand ( APRIL). Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of tight junction proteins zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1) and occludin in the mouse intestinal tissues. The potential targets of Cur in IgAN were predicted. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of tight junction proteins, as well as Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), myeloid differentiation primary response protein (MyD88), nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) and p-NF-κB p65. Results:Genetic identification results revealed that all IgAN model mice exhibited the miR-23b -/- genotype, confirming successful model establishment. Seven-month-old mice were subsequently selected for Cur treatment. Histopathological analysis demonstrated no significant differences in hepatic tissue morphology across groups, with comparable liver histopathological injury scores and unaltered liver function parameters, thereby validating the safety of Cur administration. Compared with the normal control group, IgAN mice displayed elevated levels of serum sIgA, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and 24 h urine microalbumin (all P<0.05). Renal pathological results revealed severe mesangial hypercellularity in glomeruli, higher glomerular injury scores, and notable glomerular mesangial deposits of IgA, IgG and complement C3 in IgAN mice (all P<0.05). Additionally, intestinal pathological alterations were observed, including structural changes in intestinal epithelium and Peyer's patches, accompanied by significantly higher intestinal histopathological injury scores in IgAN mice ( P<0.05). Intestinal epithelial expression levels of ZO-1 and occludin were significantly reduced, while sIgA, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in intestinal fluid were elevated (all P<0.05). Serum FITC fluorescence intensity was markedly increased, and intestinal tissue exhibited upregulated mRNA expression of BAFF and APRIL (all P<0.05). Following Cur treatment, serum sIgA level and renal function indices in mice showed partial recovery (all P<0.05). Renal pathological improvements included alleviated mesangial hypercellularity, reduced glomerular injury scores, and diminished glomerular immune complex deposition (all P<0.05). Intestinal pathologies, including epithelial and Peyer's patch lesions, were mitigated, with decreased intestinal histopathological injury scores ( P<0.05). Additionally, intestinal tight junction protein expression levels were upregulated, intestinal fluid sIgA level was reduced, inflammatory markers were attenuated, serum FITC fluorescence intensity was declined, and intestinal BAFF and APRIL mRNA expression levels were downregulated (all P<0.05). In vitro experiments demonstrated that TNF-α exposure reduced tight junction protein expression in Caco-2 cells, whereas Cur treatment reversed the effect (all P<0.05). Target prediction analysis revealed that Cur effectively bound to TLR9 structural domain in IgAN. Experimental validation confirmed that Cur treatment suppressed the upregulated protein expression levels of TLR9, MyD88, NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65 in intestinal tissues of IgAN mice (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Cur has a significant effect in the treatment of IgAN and can regulate intestinal mucosal immunity by inhibiting the TLR9/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby reducing renal injury and protecting the kidneys.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of action of Kaixinsan in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease （AD） based on network pharmacology， molecular docking， and animal experimental validation. MethodsThe Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform（TCMSP） and the Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine（ETCM） databases were used to obtain the active ingredients and targets of Kaixinsan. GeneCards， Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man（OMIM）， TTD， PharmGKB， and DrugBank databases were used to obtain the relevant targets of AD. The intersection （common targets） of the active ingredient targets of Kaixinsan and the relevant targets of AD was taken， and the network interaction analysis of the common targets was carried out in the STRING database to construct a protein-protein interaction（PPI） network. The CytoNCA plugin within Cytoscape was used to screen out the core targets， and the Metascape platform was used to perform gene ontology（GO） functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes（KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis. The “drug-active ingredient-target” interaction network was constructed with the help of Cytoscape 3.8.2， and AutoDock Vina was used for molecular docking. Scopolamine （SCOP） was utilized for modeling and injected intraperitoneally once daily. Thirty-two male C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into blank control （CON） group （0.9% NaCl， n=8）， model （SCOP） group （3 mg·kg^-1·d^-1， n=8）， positive control group （3 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 of SCOP+3 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 of Donepezil， n=8）， and Kaixinsan group （3 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 of SCOP+6.5 g·kg^-1·d^-1 of Kaixinsan， n=8）. Mice in each group were administered with 0.9% NaCl， Kaixinsan， or Donepezil by gavage twice a day for 14 days. Morris water maze experiment was used to observe the learning memory ability of mice. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining method was used to observe the pathological changes in the CA1 area of the mouse hippocampus. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to determine the serum acetylcholine （ACh） and acetylcholinesterase （AChE） contents of mice. Western blot method was used to detect the protein expression levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3（STAT3） and nuclear transcription factor（NF）-κB p65 in the hippocampus of mice. ResultsA total of 73 active ingredients of Kaixinsan were obtained， and 578 potential targets （common targets） of Kaixinsan for the treatment of AD were screened out. Key active ingredients included kaempferol， gijugliflozin， etc.. Potential core targets were STAT3， NF-κB p65， et al. GO functional enrichment analysis obtained 3 124 biological functions， 254 cellular building blocks， and 461 molecular functions. KEGG pathway enrichment obtained 248 pathways， mainly involving cancer-related pathways， TRP pathway， cyclic adenosine monophosphate（cAMP） pathway， and NF-κB pathway. Molecular docking showed that the binding of the key active ingredients to the target targets was more stable. Morris water maze experiment indicated that Kaixinsan could improve the learning memory ability of SCOP-induced mice. HE staining and ELISA results showed that Kaixinsan had an ameliorating effect on central nerve injury in mice. Western blot test indicated that Kaixinsan had a down-regulating effect on the levels of NF-κB p65 phosphorylation and STAT3 phosphorylation in the hippocampal tissue of mice in the SCOP model. ConclusionKaixinsan can improve the cognitive impairment function in SCOP model mice and may reduce hippocampal neuronal damage and thus play a therapeutic role in the treatment of AD by regulating NF-κB p65， STAT3， and other targets involved in the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Purpose To investigate the relationship between SERPINA4 expression and clinicopathological fea-tures and prognosis in metastatic colorectal cancer(CRC).Methods EnVision two-step immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of SERPINA4 protein in 104 cases of primary and metastatic tumor paraffin tissues of metastatic colorectal cancer and adjacent intestinal normal mucosa,and its relationship with clinicopathological features of patients was analyzed.qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of SERPINA4 mRNA in 11 pairs of metastatic CRC metastases and paired primary tumor paraffin-embedded tissue samples.The survival of patients was followed up,and the relationship between SERPINA4 expression and patient prognosis was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method.Re-sults Immunohistochemical results showed that the strong positive expression rate of SERPINA4 was 97.10％in nor-mal mucosa,71.20％in primary lesions,and 39.40％in metastatic lesions.The difference between the three groups was statistically significant(P＜0.001).qRT-PCR results showed that SERPINA4 mRNA was lowly expressed in me-tastatic lesions of metastatic CRC(P＜0.05).The expression of SERPINA4 in metastatic lesions was significantly cor-related with histological grade,N stage and M stage of the tumor(P＜0.05),but not significantly correlated with age,gender,tumor location and T stage of patients(P＞0.05).The survival time of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with high expression of SERPINA4 was longer than that of patients with low expression.Conclusion The ex-pression of SERPINA4 is of great significance in the survival and prognosis of patients with metastatic CRC.
