OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) induced by glucagon- like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), and to provide a reference for safe clinical medication. METHODS Using search terms such as “GLP-1”“GLP-1RAs”“semaglutide” “drug-induced liver injury”, relevant studies from PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Data and VIP were retrieved. Descriptive analysis was performed on cases of DILI induced by GLP-1RAs. RESULTS A total of 11 studies, comprising 11 patients, were included. Among them, 4 were male (36.4%) and 7 were female (63.6%). Patient ages ranged from 17 to 64 years; 5 patients (45.5%) were between 50 and 65 years old. Six patients were treated for diabetes, and five for weight loss. Ten patients had underlying diseases. The shortest time to the onset of DILI was 5 days after medication, while the longest was approximately 180 days. The DILIs induced by GLP-1RAs were mainly hepatocellular injury type (6 cases); severity levels included severe (3 cases), moderate (6 cases), and mild (2 cases). Gastrointestinal symptoms and jaundice were the most common clinical manifestations. The association between DILI and GLP- 1RAs was assessed as “probable” in 10 cases and “possible” in 1 case. All 11 patients improved after drug discontinuation and (or) corresponding treatment. CONCLUSIONS DILI induced by GLP-1RAs is relatively concentrated in patients aged 50-65, with a higher incidence in females. The risk may be further increased in patients with underlying diseases. Clinical use of these agents should enhance pharmaceutical care, including identification of high-risk populations and patient education (especially symptom recognition). When relevant symptoms appear, the drug should be discontinued immediately, with liver-protective therapy initiated when necessary, to ensure patient safety of drug use.

Objective:To discuss dominant symptoms and compatibility rules of Dazhui(GV14) based on data mining.Methods:Literature related to Dazhui (GV14) was retrieved from CNKI, Wangfang, VIP, China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) and Pubmed databases from January 1, 2012 to August 15, 2022, and the main symptoms of Dazhi (GV14) and the compatibility of acupoints were summarized. Gephi 0.9.5 software was used for complex network analysis to compare the treatment for dominant symptoms with single acupoint of Dazhi (GV14) and the compatibility of the acupoint. SPSS Modeler 18.0 software was used to analyze the association rules of acupoint combination based on Apriori algorithm. The clustering analysis of high frequency acupoints was carried out by SPSS Statistics 26.0 software.Results:A total of 722 articles were included, involving 732 prescriptions. The dominant symptoms of single acupoint were cervical spondylosis, acne, and cold; the treatment for dominant symptoms with compatibility included 14 types, such as cervical spondylosis, allergic rhinitis, ischemic stroke sequelae. The meridian compatibility was dominated by bladder meridian, and the frequency of yang meridians was higher than yin meridians. The compatibility of specific acupoints such as Xiahe acupoint, Beishu acupoint and Bahui acupoint were the main acupoints, and the high frequency acupoints were 33 acupoints such as Feishu (BL13), Baihui (GV20), Fengchi (GB20) and Zusanli (ST36), obtaining 4 series and 8 types of compatible combinations of Dazhui (GV14).Conclusions:Dazhui (GV14) is widely used in the treatment of internal diseases, such as respiratory diseases, nervous system diseases and vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis. It tends to be flexibly used with multiple compatibility and clustering combination of specific acupoints.

Objective:To investigate the accuracy and feasibility of applying rapid immunohistochemistry(IHC) with CK5/6 antibodies in prostate biopsy tissues to assist frozen pathology diagnosis.Methods:The data of 41 patients who underwent prostate puncture and frozen tissue rapid IHC with CK5/6 antibody in Beijing Hospital from October 2022 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The median age of the patients was 76 (69, 79) years old, and the median PSA value was 12.37 (7.07, 26.17) ng/ml.The Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) scores of the target lesions were all ≥3. The PI-RADS score of 9 patients(21.95%) was 3, 15 (36.59%) was 4, and 17(41.46%) was 5. The median diameter of the lesions in the MRI examination was 1.40 (1.09, 2.20) cm.Fourteen lesions (34.14%) were located in the migratory zone, 23 (56.10%) were located in the peripheral zone, and 4 (9.76%) involved both peripheral and migratory zone lesions. Transperineal cognitive fusion targeted combined systematic biopsy was used, and intraoperatively, 1 additional needle was taken from each of the target and non-target areas for frozen pathology section, and hematoxylin eosin(HE) staining and rapid IHC staining with CK5/6 antibody was performed, then the frozen remaining tissue was HE staining and CK5/6 IHC staining. Data such as HE and rapid IHC results of frozen pathology sections and HE and IHC results of routine sections of the frozen remaining tissues, International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grading groupings(GG), and actual diagnostic results of targeted combined systematic puncture were recorded. Using the routine IHC results of the same needle tissue as the gold standard, the sensitivity and positive predictive value of applying rapid IHC frozen pathology to diagnose prostate cancer and the accuracy of its pathological GG were analyzed.Results:Among the 41 patients, a total of 35 cases were diagnosed with prostate cancer(PCa) by HE staining in frozen section of target tissue, with a positivity rate of 85.37%(35/41). Among these, there were 17 cases (48.57%) in ISUP GG 1, 8 cases (22.86%) in GG 2, 4 cases (11.43%) in GG 3, and 6 cases (17.14%) in GG 4 to 5. In addition, a total of 35 cases were diagnosed with PCa by HE staining in frozen remaining section of target tissue, with a positivity rate of 85.37%(35/41). Among these, there were 17 cases (48.57%) in ISUP GG 1, 8 cases (22.86%) in GG 2, 4 cases (11.43%) in GG 3, and 6 cases (17.14%) in GG 4 to 5. The results of rapid IHC of target tissue: 35 cases were negative for CK5/6 expression and 6 cases were positive. The results of routine IHC of target tissue: 35 cases were negative for CK5/6 expression and 6 cases were positive. The results of rapid IHC of non-target tissue: 12 cases were negative for CK5/6 expression and 29 cases were positive. The results of routine IHC of non-target tissue: 12 cases were negative for CK5/6 expression and 29 cases were positive. Thirty-five cases of target tissue rapid IHC diagnosis of PCa were in complete agreement with routine IHC diagnosis, with a false-positive rate of 0, a sensitivity of 100.00% (35/35) and a positive predictive value of 100.00% (35/35). Twelve cases of non-target tissue rapid IHC diagnosis of PCa were in complete agreement with routine IHC diagnosis, with a false-positive rate of 0, a sensitivity of 100.00% (35/35), and a positive predictive value of 100.00% (12/12).Conclusions:The preliminarily study results confirmed that the application of rapid IHC with CK5/6 antibodies in prostate biopsy tissues assisted frozen pathology diagnosis with high accuracy, but the reliability of rapid IHC technology in assisting frozen pathological diagnosis during puncture surgery still needs further validation through large sample size prospective studies.

OBJECTIVE To explore the material basis of the anti-inflammatory effect of the petroleum ether extract from Melastoma dodecandrum by establishing its fingerprint and combining it with cellular pharmacodynamics experiments. METHODS HPLC method was adopted; the fingerprints of 20 batches of petroleum ether extract from M. dodecandrum were drawn using The Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint (2012 edition); similarity evaluation and common peak identification were carried out. The lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation model of mice mononuclear macrophages (RAW264.7) was established; the inhibitory rates of nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were used as indexes to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of the petroleum ether extract from M. dodecandrum; grey correlation degree method and partial least square regression analysis were adopted to study the spectrum-effect relationship. Molecular docking was used to validate the binding activity of the anti-inflammatory active ingredients with TNF-α and iNOS protein receptor. RESULTS There were 19 common peaks in the fingerprint of the petroleum ether extract from M. dodecandrum, the similarity of 20 batches of samples ranged from 0.603-0.990, and five components were identified, such as vitexin (peak 5), isovitexin (peak 6), ellagic acid (peak 7), quercetin (peak 9) and luteolin (peak 10). The grey correlation degree between 19 common peaks of the petroleum ether extract from M. dodecandrum and the inhibition rates of NO and TNF-α were all greater than 0.7; peaks 19, 13, 9 (quercetin), 12, 5 (vitexin), 6 (isovitexin), 8, 7 (ellagic acid), 18, 1 were positively correlated with NO inhibition rate, and peaks 8, 10 (luteolin), 13, 15, 3, 19, 17, 7 (ellagic acid), 18, 1 were positively correlated with inhibition rate of TNF-α. The binding energies of vitexin, isovitexin and quercetin with iNOS protein receptor were less than -5.0 kcal/mol. CONCLUSIONS Vitexin, isovitexin and quercetin may be the basis of the anti-inflammatory effect of the petroleum ether extract from M.dodecandrum.

Objective:To explore and analyze the clinical features of patients with immunoglobulin (Ig)G4-related hepatobiliary-pancreatic disease and the independent factors affecting the prognosis of IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC).Methods:The clinical data of 179 adult cases diagnosed with IgG4-related hepato-pancreato-biliary disease in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2011 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into three groups: isolated IgG4-SC, IgG4-SC/type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis(type 1 AIP), and isolated AIP according to the clinical manifestations. Demographic characteristics, baseline biochemical immunological indexes, and imaging manifestations were analyzed. The treatment response rate and survival rate were compared. The COX proportional hazards model was used to analyze the independent factors related to prognosis.Results:The mean age of diagnosis of patients with IgG4-related hepatobiliary-pancreatic disease was 60.3±12.0 years. Males accounted for 74.9%, and the median follow-up time was 38 months. The 1-year clinical response rate of patients with isolated IgG4-SC was lower than that of IgG4-SC/AIP (67.9% vs. 91.7%, P=0.019), and the primary endpoint-free 5-year survival rate was significantly reduced (64.9% vs. 95.9%, P<0.001). COX regression analysis showed that having cirrhosis before treatment ( HR=6.708, P=0.004) and poor response after half a year of treatment ( HR=11.488, P=0.002) were independent risk factors associated with the occurrence of adverse events in hepatobiliary diseases among patients with IgG4-SC. Conclusions:The clinical response rate and survival rate of patients with isolated IgG4-SC are lower than those of patients with IgG4-SC/AIP. Patients with IgG4-SC who do not respond well at six months of treatment and who have progressed to cirrhosis before treatment are at significantly increased risk of adverse events.
