OBJECTIVE To comprehensively evaluate the quality of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports in clinical departments or ward (hereinafter referred to as “department”) based on game theory combinatorial weighting-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS)-rank-sum ratio (RSR) method, providing a reference for the further standardization of ADR reporting. METHODS Based on relevant documents and scoring criteria, the ADR report quality evaluation standards previously developed by our team were modified. Using game theory principles, the fusion of subjective and objective weights for each indicator was determined. A game theory combinatorial weighting-TOPSIS-RSR model was developed to evaluate and categorize the quality of raw ADR reports submitted by departments to the pharmacy department at Bozhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University. RESULTS A total of 222 ADR reports from 23 departments were included. The game theory combinatorial weighting method identifies weak points in management, such as ADR symptoms and signs, the description of underlying diseases, timing of ADR, by optimizing the weightings of the indicators. The TOPSIS-RSR method calculates that the mean relative closeness of the departments was 0.401 7, indicating that the overall report quality ranged from moderate to substandard. 20095) Three departments, including neurosurgery, demonstrated medium reporting quality [estinate closeness (Ĉ)i ≥0.506], while two departments, such as the respiratory department,were rated as unqualified (Ĉi<0.278). The remaining departments were all deemed qualified (0.278≤ Ĉi<0.506). CONCLUSIONS The developed game theory combinatorial weighting-TOPSIS-RSR method provides an effective approach for the quality evaluation of ADR reports, which not only balances subjective and objective weights but also facilitates comparisons among different departments. There is still room for improvement in the ADR report quality at the hospital.

Objective:
To investigate the potential mechanisms of Xanthatin in inhibiting the proliferation of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC) cells by integrating network pharmacology and in vitro experiments.
Methods:
The targets of Xanthatin were identified using databases such as PharmMapper, while disease-related targets for LSCC were obtained from databases such as DisGeNET. The overlapping targets between Xanthatin and LSCC were determined by intersecting these datasets. A protein-protein interaction(PPI) network was constructed based on the overlapping targets, and key targets were identified. Gene ontology(GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) enrichment analyses of the overlapping targets were performed using R software. A "Xanthatin-target-pathway" network was visualized using Cytoscape 3.8.0 software. The preliminary validation of the aforementioned results was performed using molecular docking and transcriptomics. The effects of Xanthatin on the proliferation of TU177 cells were assessed using CCK-8 and colony formation assays. Additionally, Western blot analysis was employed to measure the expression levels of PI3K, p-PI3K, Akt, and p-Akt proteins.
Results:
A total of 159 overlapping targets between Xanthatin and LSCC were identified, and seven key targets, including AKT1, were screened. GO enrichment analysis yielded 2 455 entries, and KEGG enrichment analysis identified 172 pathways, such as the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Xanthatin exhibited favorable binding activity with the core target proteins of LSCC in molecular docking experiments. The transcriptomics results showed high consistency with the predictions from network pharmacology. CCK-8 and colony formation assays demonstrated that Xanthatin at concentrations of 1, 2, and 4 μmol/L significantly inhibited the proliferation of TU177 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The expression levels of p-PI3K and p-Akt proteins decreased with increasing concentrations of Xanthatin.
Conclusion
Xanthatin may exert an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of LSCC cells by modulating the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of Bushen huoxue huatan decoction on ovarian blood supply and form in model rats with polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS). METHODS:50 SD female rats were randomized into normal control group,model group,positive control group [rosiglitazone,3 mg/(kg·d)],Bushen huoxue huatan decoction low-dose and high-dose groups [5.0, 7.5 g/(kg·d)],with 10 rats in each group. Except for normal control group,PCOS model was induced in the other groups by Poresky method. After modeling,treatment groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically. The normal control group and mod-el group were given normal saline [10 mL/(kg·d)] intragastrically,once a day,for 22 days. After the end of administration,the rats were sacrificed. The microvessel density (MVD) was recorded. mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), ovarian angiotensin Ⅱ receptor(Ang Ⅱ)type 1(AT1)and type 2(AT2),G-protein coupled receptor MAS were all detected in ovarian tissue of rats. The ovarian form was observed. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,MVD of mod-el group and treatment groups were all increased,while mRNA expression of AT1,AT2 and MAS were down-regulated (P<0.05);cystic sinus sollicle,the decrease of granular cell layer,egg mother cells disappearance,the decrease of luteal tissue and other obvious pathological changes could be found in ovarian tissue of rats in model group. Compared with model group,above in-dexes of treatment groups were improved significantly,and the effects of Bushen huoxue huatan decoction low-dose and high-dose groups were better than that of positive control group (P<0.05). The pathological changes of ovarian tissue in treatment groups were all improved to certain extent. CONCLUSIONS:Bushen huoxue huatan decoction can improve ovarian blood supply,angio-genesis and ovulation in PCOS rats. It is beneficial to improve ovarian form.

BACKGROUND:A large number of studies have shown that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels (BMSCs) with differentiation ability can be used to treat kidney injury. Epimedium has good anti-inflammatory and immune restoration ability.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of epimedium with BMSC transplantation on rat’s kidney disease caused by adriamycin nephrosis.
METHODS:Fifty rats were equivalently randomized to receive no treatment in control group, tail vein injection of normal saline plus intragastric injection of normal saline in model group, tail vein injection of BMSCs plus intragastric injection of epimedium decoction in combined group, tail vein injection of BMSCs in BMSCs group, and intragastric injection of epimedium decoction in epimedium group. Rat models of adriamycin nephrosis were made in the latter four groups through tail vein injection of doxorubicin hydrochloride, while rats in the control group were only given the same volume of normal saline. Twenty-four hours after modeling, rats in the latter four groups began to be given the corresponding treatments. Epimedium decoction was given in the combined and epimedium groups at a dose of 1 mL/d, for consecutive 1 week.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the model group, mitigated kidney injury and reduced urinary protein level were found in rats undergoing BMSCs and/or epimedium decoction treatment; the levels of plasma albumin and catalase were significantly increased in the combined group and epimedium group, while the levels of serum cholesterol, triglycerides and malondialdehyde decreased; the mRNA expression of transforming growth factor β1 in the kidney tissues was dramaticaly declined in the combined group and BMSC group. To conclude, the combined use of epimedium and BMSCs is superior to their use alone in the treatment of kidney disease.
