Objective To observe clinical curative effect of long-acting recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH)and short-acting rhGH,and their influences on growth and development indexes,serum thyroid function indexes and insulin in children with idiopathic short stature(ISS).Methods The children with ISS were randomly divided into long-acting group[subcutaneous injection of polyethylene glycol recombinant human growth hormone(0.2 mg·kg-1·w-1,qw)]and short-acting group[subcutaneous injection of recombinant human growth hormone(0.15 U·kg-1·d-1)at 30 min before sleep every night].All children were treated for 12 months.The growth and development[growth velocity(GV),height standard deviation of points(Ht SDS)],thyroid function,fasting insulin(FINS)and insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)were compared between the two groups.The occurrence of adverse reactions was recorded.Results In the 68 children,there were 4 cases with loss to follow-up and shedding due to personal reasons.Finally,there were 33 cases in long-acting group and 31 cases in short-acting group for statistical analysis.After 6 months of treatment,GV in long-acting group and short-acting group were(4.53±0.56)and(3.97±0.48)cm·year-1,Ht SDS were-2.45±0.23 and-2.66±0.21,IGF-1 levels were(551.62±41.48)and(524.36±37.84)mg·mL-1,respectively.After 12 months of treatment,GV in long-acting group and the short-acting group were(9.44±0.82)and(8.46±0.77)cm·year-1,Ht SDS were-1.68±0.19 and-1.91±0.20,IGF-1 levels were(642.46±36.49)and(593.14±40.12)mg·mL-1,differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in FT3,FT4,TSH and FINS between the two groups after treatment(all P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the total incidences of adverse drug reactions between long-acting group and short-acting group[6.06％(2 cases/33 cases)vs 12.90％(4 cases/31 cases),P＞0.05].Conclusion Compared with short-acting rhGH,promotion effect of long-acting rhGH is better on short-term growth and development in ISS children,which can increase level of serum IGF-1 and has no obvious effects on thyroid function,with good safety.

Licorice-gypsum (gancao-shigao, GC-SG) drug pair was used as the research object, using supramolecular chemistry to explore the scientific connotation of combining herbal medicine GC with insoluble mineral medicine SG in clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine. ① The Tyndall effect, microscopic morphology and particle size of the single and co-decocted of GC and SG were observed, the paste content and conductivity were determined, and the interaction between GC and SG was detected by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and infrared absorption spectroscopy (IR). ② Calcium chloride (CaCl₂), a soluble calcium salt of equal gypsum quality, was used instead of SG with GC for co-decocting to explore the effect of calcium salt content on the water decocting, and the characteristics were combined with the Tyndall effect, microscopic morphology, paste content and conductivity. ITC and IR techniques were used to detect the interaction between the two, and the interaction between them was detected by ITC and IR. The zeta potential and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis) of GC-SG and GC-CaCl₂ co-decoction were compared, and the inorganic and organic components in the co-decoction were detected by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed: ① Compared with the liquid phase of single decoction, GC-SG co-decoction had more obvious Tyndall effect, and showed uniform spherical nanoparticles under electron microscope. Physical characterization results such as paste content and conductivity showed that co-decoction promoted the dissolution of each other's components; ITC and IR results showed that there was strong interaction between GC and SG, which preliminatively indicated that GC and SG co-decoction promoted the formation of uniform and stable supramolecular system of traditional Chinese medicine. ② When soluble calcium salt was used to substitute insoluble SG with GC for co-decocting, a stronger but astigmatic light path appeared than single decocting solution, the zeta potential was reduced, and a large number of accumulated polymers were formed. The results of paste content and conductivity showed that the dissolution of the co-decocting component was reduced than the single decocting component. ITC, UV-vis and IR results showed that there was interaction between GC with Ca²⁺ and SG. The formation of polysink indicated that a large amount of soluble calcium salt would destroy the stability of supramolecular Chinese medicine. The results of ICP-OES and HPLC showed that the glycyrrhizic acid (GA) content of the former lower than the latter, which was related to the formation of a large number of polycondensates with the increase of Ca²⁺ concentration and the decrease of the dissolution of GA and other active ingredients. This study indicates that the compatibility of GC and SG can form a uniform and stable supramolecular system of traditional Chinese medicine. Calcium salt, the main component of SG, is taken as the starting point. Excessive soluble Ca²⁺ can promote the aggregation of active ingredients such as GA, so as to reveal the scientific connotation of the compatibility of GC and SG, an insoluble mineral medicine.

Anti-tumor traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of clinic application, in which the star molecules have always been the hotspot of modern drug research, but they are limited by the solubility, stability, targeting, bioactivity or toxicity of the monomer components of traditional Chinese medicine anti-tumor star molecules and other pharmacokinetic problems, which hinders the traditional Chinese medicine anti-tumor star molecules for further clinical translation and application. Currently, the nanosystems prepared by supramolecular technologies such as molecular self-assembly and nanomaterial encapsulation have broader application prospects in improving the anti-tumor effect of active components of traditional Chinese medicine, which has attracted extensive attention from scholars at home and abroad. In this paper, we systematically review the research progress in preparation of supramolecular nano-systems from anti-tumor star molecule of traditional Chinese medicine, and summarize the two major categories and ten small classes of carrier-free and carrier-based supramolecular nanosystems and their research cases, and the future development direction is put forward. The purpose of this paper is to provide reference for the research and clinical transformation of using supramolecular technology to improve the clinical application of anti-tumor star molecule of traditional Chinese medicine.

The effect of different concentrations of glycyrrhizic acid (GA) and Zn²⁺ on the self-assembly of metal complexes was investigated by forming metal complexes, and the properties and assembly mechanisms of the formed carrier-free supramolecular hydrogel were characterised. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and zeta potential were used to characterise the microscopic morphology and stability of the GA-Zn complex hydrogel, which had spherical-like particles of about 1 μm with good stability; the rheometer was used to detect its materialistic properties, which showed excellent stability, self-healing property and reversibility; through in vitro bacterial inhibition, it was found that the GA-Zn carrier-free supramolecular hydrogel has enhanced bacterial inhibition function after assembly. The hydrogel was also found to possess both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant efficacy when evaluated using LPS and H₂O₂ induced RAW 264.7 cell damage models, respectively. The above results suggest that GA-Zn hydrogel not only has good materialistic properties, but also possesses good antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, which has the value of clinical research as a carrier-free multi-functional antimicrobial dressing, and the present study provides a reference for the discovery of novel biomedical materials from active molecules of natural traditional Chinese medicine.

Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is one of the most effective formulation approaches to enhance the water solubility and oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, maintenance of physical stability of amorphous drug is one of the main challenges in the development of ASD. Crystallization is a process of nucleation and crystal growth. The nucleation is the key factor that influences the physical stability of the ASD. However, a theoretical framework to describe the way to inhibit the nucleation of amorphous drug is not yet available. We reviewed the methods and theories of nucleation for amorphous drug. Meanwhile, we also summarized the research progress on the mechanism of additives influence on nucleation and environmental factors on nucleation. This review aims to enhance the better understanding mechanism of nucleation of amorphous drug and controlling over the crystal nucleation during the ASD formulation development.

Based on the interaction between supramolecule of traditional Chinese medicine and enterobacteria, the material basis of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and Coptidis Rhizoma was explored. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to characterize the morphological differences of Rhubarb single decoction, Coptis single decoction and Rhubarb and Coptis co-decoction. An in vitro antibacterial model (E. coli, E. faecium and B. subtilis) was established to evaluate the damage effect of the combination of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and Coptidis Rhizoma on enterobacteria. Ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to analyze the changes of chemical components of single decoctions and co-decoctions. The co-decoction of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and Coptidis Rhizoma was turbid after decocting. The spherical particles of 300-400 nm were observed under SEM, and the co-decoction was more uniform and stable than that of single decoction. The interaction between supramolecules formed after the combination of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and Coptidis Rhizoma and enterobacteria was significantly different from that of single decoction. In the process of interaction between supramolecules and enterobacteria, the spherical state was maintained, and the medicinal ingredients in Coptidis Rhizoma or Rhei Radix et Rhizoma were blocked, which could effectively alleviate the damage to enterobacteria. This study provided a reference for subsequent studies on the regulation of intestinal flora homeostasis by the combination of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and Coptidis Rhizoma.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of composite skin transplantation combined with systemic rehabilitation in the treatment of extensive scar contracture deformity around the popliteal fossa in children after burns.Methods:A retrospective observational research method was adopted. Seventeen children with extensive scar contracture deformities around the popliteal fossa after burns who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from March 2018 to April 2022 were selected. Among them, there were 10 males and 7 females, aged 2-11 years, with scar contracture deformities lasting from 10 months to 9 years, all located around the popliteal fossa, 10 cases of right popliteal fossa, 5 cases of left popliteal fossa, 2 cases of bilateral popliteal fossa, scars around the popliteal fossa result in a knee joint extension angle of only 95° to 115°. The scar contracture during surgery was thoroughly released, joint mobility was restored, so as to form a secondary wound range of 10 cm×8 cm-20 cm×13 cm. In stage Ⅰ, after completely releasing the scar contracture, the wound was covered with negative pressure closure drainage (VSD) for 2-3 days. In stage Ⅱ, a large autologous blade thick scalp and allogeneic decellularized dermal matrix composite graft was performed to repair the wound around the popliteal fossa. After 8-10 days of surgery, the dressing was changed to check the survival of the skin graft. One week after the skin graft survived, a 12 month orderly knee joint function training was conducted under the guidance of a rehabilitation therapist. Postoperative sequential treatment with a combination of strong pulsed light and ultra pulsed carbon dioxide lattice laser for 5-7 courses of significant scar hyperplasia in the skin graft area and edges.Results:15 cases of pediatric patients had good skin graft survival; One patient developed a wound due to partial displacement of the transplanted autologous scalp, and one patient developed a plasma swelling under the limb graft, which was drained through an opening. Two patients underwent dressing changes for 3 weeks before the wound healed. After follow-up for 6 to 36 months, the elasticity and appearance of the skin graft were similar to those of a medium thickness skin graft. Children with knee joint contracture were able to fully extend to 180°, and knee joint function was significantly improved. There was no scar formation or hair loss in the donor skin area.Conclusions:The combination of composite skin transplantation and systematic rehabilitation has a good effect on the treatment of extensive scar contracture around the popliteal fossa in children after burns, avoiding the problem of scars left in the donor area due to autologous skin grafting.
