Glioma is difficult to treat due to the unique tumor microenvironment and blood-brain barrier. (13aS)-3-Hydroxyl-6,7-dimethoxyphenanthro[9,10-b] indolizidine (PF403), a phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid, has been identified as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of glioma. However, the anti-glioma mechanism of PF403 in vivo has not been conclusively verified and must be further elucidated. Hence, a strategy without chemical modification was applied to identify the target of PF403. In this study, we identified nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT) as the target of PF403 by using thermal proteome profiling (TPP). Moreover, microscale thermophoresis (MST), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments confirmed that NAMPT exhibits good affinity for PF403. Direct and indirect enzyme activity assays revealed that PF403 inhibited the catalytic activity of NAMPT, leading to a decrease in the concentration of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in U87 cells. X-ray diffraction and amino acid spot mutation experiments revealed that PF403 primarily relies on the formation of pi-pi interactions with residue Tyr188 to maintain binding with NAMPT (PDB code 8Y55). After NAMPT was knocked down with lentivirus, PF403 lost or partially lost its antitumor activity at the cellular and animal levels. These findings suggest that PF403 exerts antitumor activity by directly targeting NAMPT.

BACKGROUND:Implant restoration has become an important means to treat anterior tooth loss,and it is particularly important to select appropriate implant restoration materials.However,at present,there are some deficiencies in clinical implant materials,and researchers have been exploring suitable implant materials.OBJECTIVE:To compare the biomechanical characteristics of implants made of different materials in restoring single missing maxillary anterior teeth.METHODS:The cone beam CT data of a patient with single maxillary central incisor loss were imported into 3-matic software to establish a three-dimensional finite element analysis model of single maxillary anterior tooth loss.The model was then imported into Marc Mentat.Eight sets of implant restoration models were designed according to different implant materials(polyetheretherketone,titanium-zirconium alloy,titanium alloy,and zirconia,with the elastic modulus of the four materials increasing in sequence)and cancellous bone density(high density,low density)to simulate the stress conditions of the maxillary anterior teeth in centric occlusion.The total displacements and von Mises stresses of implants,cortical bone stresses and cancellous bone strains were compared and analyzed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The maximum displacement of the implant gradually decreased with the increase of the modulus of elasticity of the material,and the value of the maximum displacement of the implant in the polyetheretherketone group exceeded 10 μm;the implant stress was concentrated in the labial neck in the models.The maximum stress gradually increased with the increase of the modulus of elasticity of the implant material,among which,the zirconia-low density bone model had the highest stress,which was 21.31 MPa;the cortical bone stress was concentrated in the cortical bone at the junction of the implant with the labial side,and the polyetheretherketone-low density bone group had the highest value,which was 29.90 MPa.(2)From the biomechanical point of view,titanium-zirconium alloy,titanium alloy,and zirconia can be used as implant materials for restoration of a single missing anterior tooth,and implant displacement is one of the common problems during implant restorations,but pure polyetheretherketone material may cause excessive implant displacement in implant restorations of anterior areas,causing implant failure.

The five core indicators(the case mix index, the proportion of level-4 surgery, the proportion of technical service income in medical income, the proportion of personnel expenditure in business expenditure, and the proportion of fixed part in personnel salary) and target values determined by the pilot goal of high-quality development of high-level public hospitals jointly built by National Health Commission and Provincial Government had become the core indicators for evaluating the quality and efficiency of public hospital development. The authors proposed the optimization and improvement measures for the five core indicators one by one from the internal reform and innovation in hospitals, as well as the synergetic development and governance of " insurance-medical-medicine linkage", combined with the current situation of a pilot hospital. The authors also proposed the starting points and driving force for promoting the high-quality development of public hospitals through the synergetic development and governance of " insurance-medical-medicine linkage", including implementing government investment responsibilities, streamlining the price evaluation of medical services, deepening the reform of medical insurance payment, accelerating the expansion of drug and consumable procurement, and promoting the application of advanced technologies and products, in order to provide reference for the in-depth promotion of high-quality development of public hospitals.

International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2024;45(22):2689-2693,2698
Objective To establish an analytical method based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatogra-phy-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)technology for simultaneous detection of serum folate and its metab-olites 5-methyltetrahydrofolate,formyl tetrahydrofolate,and methotrexate concentration.Methods Target an-alytes in samples were concentrated and enriched using solid-phase extraction,separated by an Acquity UPLC HSS T3 chromatographic column(2.1 mm×100 mm,1.8 μm),and eluted with a gradient using 0.1%formic acid water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase.The method was established using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer(UPLC I-Class Xevo TQ-S micro IVD)and ac-cording to CLSI C62-A and other documents,the performance of this method in terms of quantification limit,linear range,precision,accuracy,dilution effect,carrying contamination,specificity,interference testing and so on was evaluated.Results The quantitation limit for folate was 1 ng/mL,and the quantitation limits for 5-methyltetrahydrofolate,formyltetrahydrofolate,and methotrexate were 5 ng/mL.Folate had a good linear re-lationship in the concentration range of 1-200 ng/mL(R2>0.99),and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate,formyltet-rahydrofolate,and methotrexate had linear ranges of 5-2 000 ng/mL(R2>0.99).The intra-day precision ranged from 1.7%to 13.9%,and the inter-day precision ranged from 2.7%to 14.6%.The spiked sample re-covery rates ranged from 93.6%to 108.9%,showing good precision and accuracy.Other examination results,such as dilution effect,carryover,and specificity,met evaluation requirements.Conclusion This study estab-lished an accurate and efficient UPLC-MS/MS method that allows for the simultaneous detection of serum fo-late and its metabolites and methotrexate blood concentrations.This method not only aids clinicians in simul-taneously monitoring methotrexate blood concentration and calcium formyl tetrahydrofolate concentration,but also enables dynamic observation of changes in total folate and active folate levels in patients during the treat-ment process.It lays the foundation for developing a reasonable rescue plan for calcium folinate and further improving the safety and effectiveness of methotrexate treatment.

Objective:To analyze the internal conditions and external environment of high-quality development of high-level public hospitals and establish a high-quality development strategy model, for reference of public hospitals to formulate and implement high-quality development strategies.Methods:The case hospital was a pilot in high-quality development of high-level public hospitals. SWOT method was used to analyze the influencing factors, AHP analytic hierarchy process was used to compare the importance of each influencing factor, and then the four-quadrant coordinate system method was used to establish a high-quality development strategy model.Results:The total strength(S), the total weaknesses(W), the total opportunity(O), and the total threat(T)were 0.095, 0.063, 0.065 and 0.024 respectively, reflecting that the strength of internal conditions was greater than the weaknesses, and the opportunities of external environment were greater than the threats. In the four-quadrants, the growth strategy model had the largest triangle area(0.003), and the strategic quadrilateral center of gravity was located in the opportunity area of the growth strategy.Conclusions:High-level public hospitals as represented by the case hospital had entered a period of important strategic opportunities, which the external opportunities were greater than its own strength. These hospitals were recommended to fully leverage the external opportunities, adopt a positive growth oriented(SO)strategy, formulate a development strategy with their own characteristics, promote the interaction of internal conditions and external environment to form new momentum, hence achieving high-quality development.
