OBJECTIVE To provide suggestions for improving the path and system construction of patient engagement in drug regulation in China. METHODS By reviewing initiatives and experiences from the United States （U. S.）， European Union （EU）， and Japan in promoting patient engagement， this study summarizes the roles and contributions of patients in the entire drug regulatory process internationally. Combining China’s current progress and challenges in patient engagement， specific proposals are formulated to refine regulatory pathways and institutional systems. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS With growing global emphasis on patient engagement as a regulatory strategy， countries or regions such as the U.S.， EU， and Japan have established clear policies， designated oversight agencies， and developed diversified pathways for patient engagement. Patients contribute to regulatory processes through advisory meetings， direct decision-making roles， and leveraging lived experiences and expertise to optimize drug evaluation and monitoring. In contrast， China’s patient engagement remains primarily limited to clinical value- oriented drug development， lacking formal policy guidance. It is recommended that China， based on its existing policy system， further strengthen the construction of a safeguard system for patient engagement， improve the capacity building and pathway models for patient participation in pharmaceutical regulation， and promote the continuous development of patient engagement in pharmaceutical regulation in our country.

Objective To investigate the difference of depressive symptoms between adolescents and adults,and to provide possible basis for early detection of adolescent depression.Methods From July 2021 to June 2022,a total of 4 096 patients with"depression"in the psychiatric clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were selected as the research objects.They were divided into the adolescent group(n=2 439)and adult group(n=1 657)according to their ages,and the results of self-rating depression scale(SDS)and symptom checklist 90(SCL-90)were collected and analyzed.Results There were significant differences in nationality,residence,native place,family history and degree of depression between the two groups(P<0.05).The adolescent group has more severe depressive symptoms,which were mainly manifes-ted in negative ideas,obsessive-compulsive symptoms,hostile and interpersonal relationship,and psychotic symptoms(P<0.05).The adult group showed more obvious in sleep(P<0.05).Conclusion Early inter-vention should be carried out for adolescents'depressive symptoms such as negative thoughts.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanisms of modified Xiaoyao Powder （逍遥散） in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia （HPRL） with liver constraint and spleen deficiency. MethodsNinety-six female SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group （n=16） and a modeling group （n=80）. In the modeling group， rats were subjected to chronic unpredictable stress combined with intraperitoneal injection of metoclopramide to establish a rat model of HPRL with liver constraint and spleen deficiency. The 80 successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into a model group， a high， medium， and low-dose group of modified Xiaoyao Powder， and a bromocriptine group， with 16 rats in each group. The high， medium， and low-dose groups of modified Xiaoyao Powder were orally administered doses of 60， 30， and 15 g/（kg·d） respectively， the bromocriptine group was orally administered bromocriptine tablets at a dose of 1 mg/（kg·d）， and the normal group and model group were orally administered 10 ml/（kg·d） of normal saline for 14 consecutive days. ELISA was used to detect serum prolactin （PRL） level； immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α） and tyrosine hydroxylase （TH） in the hypothalamus； Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 （TNFR1） in the hypothalamus； Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of receptor interacting protein kinase 3 （RIP3） in the hypothalamus； immunofluorescence was used to detect the co-expression of RIP3 and dopamine neurons in the hypothalamus. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the serum PRL levels were increased in the model group， and the expression of hypothalamic TNF-α， TNFR1， RIP3 mRNA， and the co-expression of RIP3 with dopamine neurons were significantly increased， while TH expression was decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the expression of hypothalamic TNF-α was decreased in the bromocriptine group and low-dose group of modified Xiaoyao Powder， and the expression of TH was significantly increased in the medium and high-dose groups of modified Xiaoyao Powder and the bromocriptine group. The serum PRL levels， hypothalamic TNFR1 and RIP3 mRNA expression， and the co-expression of RIP3 with dopamine neurons were significantly decreased in all dose groups of modified Xiaoyao Powder and the bromocriptine group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the bromocriptine group， the serum PRL level were significantly increased in the high and low-dose groups of modified Xiaoyao Powder， TH expression was significantly increased in the medium-dose group of modified Xiaoyao Powder， hypothalamic RIP3 mRNA expression was decreased in the low-dose group of modified Xiaoyao Powder， and the co-expression of RIP3 with dopamine neurons was significantly increased in the high-dose group of modified Xiaoyao Powder （P＜0.01）. ConclusionModified Xiaoyao Powder can regulate the programmed cell death of hypothalamic dopamine neurons， affect DA expression， and regulate PRL levels， which may be one of its mechanisms in the treatment of HPRL with liver constraint and spleen deficiency.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the common acute abdominal diseases of the digestive system, and its incidence is increasing year by year in China, Europe, and the United States. Although its etiology is diverse, it follows certain pathophysiological processes and the key regulatory molecules are similar. Over the past few years, on the one hand, progress in the research was made on pancreatic acinar and ductal epithelial cells including calcium signaling pathways, impaired autophagy flux, dysfunction of mitochondria and other organelles, and endoplasmic reticulum stress imbalance. On the other hand, important progress was made in early recruitment and excessive activation of immune cells and their roles in regulating pancreatic necrosis and pancreatitis-associated multiple organ failure. All of the above-mentioned research progress has greatly enhanced our understanding of the pathogenesis and intervention strategies of AP. This article will focus on the basic research progress in the pathogenesis of AP in recent years in order to provide clinical guidance for the early treatment of AP.

Objective This study aims to analyze the clinical epidemiology,diagnostic and treatment characteristics of minor patients with maxillofacial fracture and provide a reference for the prevention and treatment.Methods The clinical data of minor patients with maxillofacial fracture in Department of Traumatic and Plastic Surgery,West China Hospital of Stomatology,Sichuan University,from January 1,2015 to December 31,2020 were retrospectively studied and statistically analyzed in terms of age,gender,etiology,anatomic sites and treatment modalities.Results The mean age of the patients was(10.65±5.15)years,and the male-to-female ratio was 1.91∶1.High fall was the primary cause of maxillofacial fractures in minors aged 0-6 years.Traffic accident injuries were the main cause of maxillofacial fractures in minors aged 7-12 and 13-17 years.About 65.13%of the midface and 83.08%non-condylar fractures were mainly treated by surgery,and condylar fractures were treated conservatively in 74.73%and by surgical treatment in 25.27%.Conclusion The etiology of maxillofacial fractures in minors differs at different ages,so prevention strategies should be adjusted according to age.Surgical treatment has become the preferred treatment modality for midface and non-condylar fractures.Conservative treatment is still the main treatment method for condylar fractures,but the proportion of surgical treatment increases.

Objective To explore the lipid-lowering effect of Qige Decoction before and after compatibility through the combination of pharmacodynamics and liver metabolomics,and to provide new research strategies for exploring the scientific notation of traditional Chinese medicine compatibility.Methods According to the pharmacodynamic strategy,three groups of drug administration were set up as Qige Decoction group,Astragali Radix-Puerariae Radix group,and Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae group.Four indices of blood lipids,serum biochemical indicators,and liver morphology and pathology were used to evaluate the intervention effect of Qige Decoction on hyperlipidemic rats.Liver metabolomics technology was used to analyze the effects of Qige Decoction on metabolites before and after compatibility,and multivariate statistical analysis was used to evaluate the differences between groups in terms of differential metabolites and metabolic pathways.Results Compared with the model group,the callback abilities of four indices of blood lipid in the Qige Decoction group were higher than those in Astragali Radix-Puerariae Radix group and Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae group,among which the total cholesterol(TC)and triglyceride(TG)levels in the Qige Decoction group decreased(P＜0.05).A total of 86 potential biomarkers were identified by liver metabolomics,with 23,13,and 7 metabolites being significantly different in the Qige Decoction group,Astragali Radix-Puerariae Radix group,and Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae group,respectively(P＜0.05).Metabolic pathway analysis of 29 specific biomarkers with significant callback effects showed that they were related to glycerophospholipid metabolism,linoleic acid metabolism,α-linolenic acid metabolism,sphingolipid metabolism,arachidonic acid metabolism,and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis.Qige Decoction mainly regulates glycerophospholipid and linoleic acid metabolism,and uniquely acts on sphingolipid metabolism.Conclusion Qige Decoction has more lipid-lowering targets after compatibility,with better lipid-lowering effects than the Astragali Radix-Puerariae Radix group and Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae group.This study provides experimental evidence and research strategies for further revealing the scientific notation of traditional Chinese medicine compatibility.

Objective·To explore the molecular regulatory mechanism of neural tube defect(NTD)induced by retinoic acid(RA)in mouse embryos,and reveal the gene expression regularity of neural tube closure in mice.Methods·Based on the high-quality brain vesicle transcriptome data of mouse embryo during the critical period of neural tube closure[embryonic day 8.5(E8.5),E9.5 and E10.5],the gene expression trend data of the NTD group and the control group were obtained by using Short Time-series Expression Miner(STEM)software.Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis were performed for genes with different expression trends between the NTD group and the control group.Some candidate genes were screened for validation.Pregnant mice were divided into the NTD group and control group,with 9 mice in each group.Pregnant mice in the NTD group were treated with RA and those in the control group were treated with sesame oil by gavage at E7.5.Foetal rat brain vesicle tissues were collected at E8.5,E9.5 and E10.5 for experiments.Based on the above animal tissues,the screened candidate genes were validated by quantitative real-time PCR(RT-PCR).Results·A total of 18 255 genes were detected in the transcriptome data of the control group,and the expression patterns of these genes could be summarized into 7 significant profiles.A total of 19 037 gene expression data were detected in the transcriptome data of the NTD group,and gene expression patterns could be summarized into 6 profiles with significant significance.A total of 46 genes in the control group showed an upward trend but a downward trend in the NTD group.They were enriched in the positive and negative regulation of organ development,neuronal apoptosis,oligodendrocyte proliferation,and fibroblast growth factor signaling pathway at the biological process level.At the cellular component level,they were mainly involved in the basic structure of cells and neurons;At the molecular functional level,they were mainly related to the binding of fibroblast growth factor receptor.A total of 61 genes showed a downward trend in the control group but an upward trend in the NTD group.These genes were enriched in functions such as cell lysis and amino acid/ion transport at the biological process level.At the cellular component level,they were enriched in intracellular molecules,particles,extracellular region,intercellular space,etc.At the molecular function level,they were related to the activity of a series of enzymes and transporters.The results of RT-qPCR showed that the transcriptome sequencing data were authentic and reliable.Conclusion·RA intervention causes abnormal cellular activities and stress responses during mouse embryo development,leading to abnormal embryo development,activation of signalling pathways related to organismal self-protection,and suppression of genes that maintain normal embryo development.
