OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab in the treatment of advanced non- small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. METHODS Computerized searches were conducted in PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， CNKI， Wanfang and other Chinese and English databases to collect randomized controlled trials （RCTs） on tislelizumab for advanced NSCLC. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to December 2024. After strictly screening the literature， extracting data and conducting quality evaluations in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria， a meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 16.0 software. RESULTS A total of 18 RCTs involving 2 337 patients were included， with 1 283 in the experimental group and 1 054 in the control group. The meta-analysis results showed that the objective response rate [RR＝1.61， 95%CI （1.48， 1.75）， P＜0.000 01]， disease control rate [RR＝1.21， 95%CI （1.13， 1.29）， P＜0.000 01]， progression free survival [HR＝0.55， 95%CI （0.45， 0.66）， P＜0.000 01]， and overall survival [HR＝0.78， 95%CI（0.62， 0.97）， P＝0.03] were significantly better in the experimental group than in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups [RR＝1.00， 95%CI （0.73， 1.37）， P＝1.00]； among the common adverse reactions， only the incidence of liver function impairment was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group [RR＝1.30， 95%CI （1.10， 1.54）， P＜0.01]. CONCLUSIONS Tislelizumab in combination with chemotherapy or targeted drugs significantly improves the efficacy in patients with advanced NSCLC without increasing the risk of adverse reactions overall. However， liver function should be closely monitored during treatment.

Objective To observe the analgesic effects of mild moxibustion on primary dysmenorrhea(PD)rats with cold and dampness stagnation syndrome and its effect on BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway in hypothalamus;To explore its mechanism for the treatment of PD.Methods A total of 32 Wistar non-pregnant female rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,Western medicine group and mild moxibustion group,with 8 rats in each group.Except for the blank group,the other groups received estradiol benzoate intraperitoneal injection combined with ice bath treatment + oxytocin intraperitoneal injection to establish PD with cold and dampness stagnation syndrome model.The mild moxibustion group received treatment at"Shenque"and"Guanyuan"from the eighth day of modeling for 10 min,and the Western medicine group was given ibuprofen solution intragastically for 4 days.The latency period of rats twisting was observed and the twisting score was calculated,Western blot and PCR were used to detect the expressions of c-fos,BDNF,TrkB protein and mRNA in hypothalamic tissue.Results Compared with the blank group,the model group showed a shortened latency period and an increased twisting score(P<0.01),the expressions of c-fos,BDNF,TrkB protein and mRNA in hypothalamic tissue increased(P<0.01,P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the mild moxibustion group had a longer latency period and lower twisting score(P<0.01),while the expressions of c-fos,BDNF,TrkB protein and mRNA in hypothalamic tissue increased(P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Mild moxibustion may effectively improve the pain state of PD rats with cold and dampness stagnation syndrome.This mechanism may be related to downregulating c-fos expression,inhibiting BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway activation,thereby inhibiting pain signal transmission,regulating pain occurrence and maintenance.

The aim of this study was to prepare a high drug-carrying capacity micellar drug delivery system(CTD@Sol)of the polymer zebra tetracycline and to preliminarily investigate the feasibility of this drug delivery system for the treatment of breast cancer.Firstly,CTD@Sol was prepared using sol as the carrier material and CTD as the model drug,and its pharmacological properties such as appearance and morphology,particle size,potential and in vitro release were evaluated.The growth inhibitory and apoptotic effects of CTD@Sol on breast cancer(4T1)cells were investigated by MTT assay and Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assay;the uptake efficiency of 4T1 to this delivery system was investigated by flow cytometry;and the in vivo tissue distribution of the delivery system and the targeting of tumour tissues were investigated by small animal in vivo imaging technique.The results showed that CTD@Sol appeared as a light pale blue creamy white colour,with an average particle size of(159.73±1.96)nm,a PDI of 0.198±0.006,Zeta potential of-(47.60±1.77)mV,an encapsulation rate of(90.29±1.69)%and a drug loading capacity of(45.00±0.84)%;the in vitro release and haemolysis experiments showed that the drug release rate of CTD@Sol in acidic environment(pH 5.5)was significantly faster than that in neutral environment(pH 7.4),suggesting that the system is acid-sensitive and has good biosafety under endocytosed pH conditions.Cellular uptake,cytotoxicity and apoptosis experiments showed that CTD@Sol was more lethal to 4T1 cells,and the sol-gel polymer micelles as a drug delivery vehicle could significantly improve the cellular uptake efficiency of the drug;in vivo experiments showed that the delivery system had a significant targeting effect on tumour tissues.In conclusion,this study has successfully produced a CTD@Sol drug delivery system with high drug loading capacity(>45%),good pharmacological performance,strong targeting and biosafety,which has the potential to be used in the treatment of breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of icodextrin dialysate in peritoneal dialysis for patients with diabetic nephropathy.Methods:A case-control study was conducted to retrospectively analyze 92 patients with diabetic nephropathy who underwent peritoneal dialysis at Yiwu Central Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023. The patients were divided into two groups based on the type of dialysis solution used: the control group ( n = 45) received glucose-based dialysate, while the observation group ( n = 47) received icodextrin dialysate. Both groups underwent dialysis for 2 months. Glycemic control indicators, lipid profiles, adverse reactions, and volume overload parameters (diastolic pressure, systolic pressure, and ultrafiltration volume) were assessed in both groups. Results:After treatment, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the observation group were (7.56 ± 0.97) mmol/L, (7.64 ± 1.55)%, (8.49 ± 1.42) mmol/L, (2.02 ± 0.39) mmol/L, and (3.10 ± 0.47) mmol/L, respectively, all of which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(8.27 ± 1.25) mmol/L, (8.77 ± 1.89)%, (9.39 ± 1.64) mmol/L, (2.30 ± 0.44) mmol/L, (3.46 ± 0.55) mmol/L, t = 3.05, 3.14, 2.82, 3.23, 3.38, all P < 0.05]. The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [12.77% (6/47) vs. 31.11% (14/45), χ2 = 4.55, P < 0.05]. After treatment, the diastolic pressure and systolic pressure in the observation group were (83.75 ± 8.55) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) and (142.35 ± 15.78) mmHg, respectively, both of which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(88.79 ± 8.90) mmHg, (156.20 ± 16.19) mmHg, t = 2.77, 4.16, both P < 0.05]. However, the ultrafiltration volume in the observation group was signifiantly higher than that in the control group [(638.77 ± 64.21) mL vs. (590.41 ± 60.34) mL, t = 3.72, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Peritoneal dialysis using icodextrin dialysate in patients with diabetic nephropathy can improve glucose and lipid metabolism, reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, and effectively manage patients' volume overload.

Objective To explore the mechanism of the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea(PD)by mild moxibustion on"Shenque"and"Guanyuan"acupoints based on the regulation of cAMP-PKA signaling pathway on TRPV1.Methods Totally 32 female non-pregnant Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,mild moxibustion group and capsazepine group,with 8 rats in each group.Except for the blank group,the other groups all used estradiol benzoate intraperitoneal injection combined with ice water bath to establish a PD cold-dampness stagnation syndrome rat model.Intervention began on the first day of modeling,the mild moxibustion group selects"Shenque"and"Guanyuan"for mild moxibustion,20 min per time,the capsazepine group was injected capsazepine 2 mg/kg,once a day for 10 consecutive days.ELISA was used to detect uterine PGF2α and cAMP content,immunofluorescence staining was used to detect TRPV1 expression in uterine tissue,Western blot was used to detect PKA,p-PKA and TRPV1 protein expression.Results Compared with the blank group,the latency period of body twisting in the model group rats decreased,and the body twisting score increased(P<0.01);the contents of PGF2α and cAMP in uterine tissue increased(P<0.01),and the expressions of TRPV1 and p-PKA proteins increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the mild moxibustion group and capsazepine group showed an increase in the latency period of body twisting and a decrease in the body twisting score(P<0.01);the content of PGF2α and cAMP in uterine tissue decreased(P<0.01),and the expressions of TRPV1 and p-PKA proteins decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with the mild moxibustion group,the capsazepine group showed an increase in the latency period of body twisting and a decrease in the body twisting score(P<0.01);the contents of PGF2α and cAMP in uterine tissue decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the expressions of TRPV1 protein decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion Mild moxibustion at"Shenque"and"Guanyuan"acupoints has obvious analgesic effect on PD rats,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of uterine cAMP-PKA signaling pathway mediated TRPV1 protein expression.

Objective:To observe the effects of preventative moxibustion on analgesia,substance P(SP),prostaglandin(PG)F2α and PGE2 in rats with dysmenorrhea due to cold-dampness stagnation,and to explore the analgesic mechanism. Methods:Sixty-four female Wistar non-pregnant rats were randomly divided into a blank group,a model group,a Western medicine group,and a preventative moxibustion group,with 16 rats in each group.Eight qualified diestrus rats were selected from each group.Except for the blank group,the other three groups established models of dysmenorrhea due to cold-dampness stagnation using an ice water bath combined with estradiol benzoate and oxytocin.On the 8th day after modeling,the preventative moxibustion group was treated with gentle moxibustion at Shenque(CV8)and Guanyuan(CV4),and the Western medicine group was given ibuprofen solution for 4 consecutive days.On the 11th day,the intervention groups(i.e.the Western medicine group and the preventative moxibustion group)were treated once again after being injected with oxytocin.The writhing score and the pain threshold of rats were determined;the serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),SP,PGF2α,and PGE2 were measured;the mRNA and protein expression levels of BDNF and its receptor tropomyosin receptor kinase B(TrkB)in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus were detected. Results:Compared with the blank group,the writhing score increased(P<0.01),the pain threshold decreased(P<0.01),the serum levels of BDNF,SP,and PGF2α increased(P<0.01),while the PGE2 decreased(P<0.01);the protein and mRNA expression levels of BDNF and TrkB in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus increased(P<0.01)in the model group.Compared with the model group,the writhing score decreased,the pain threshold increased,the serum BDNF,SP,and PGF2α levels decreased significantly,the serum PGE2 level increased,and the protein and mRNA expression levels of BDNF and TrkB in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus decreased significantly in the preventative moxibustion group and the Western medicine group,while the inter-group differences were significant(P<0.01).Compared with the Western medicine group,the writhing score decreased,the pain threshold increased,the serum BDNF,SP,and PGF2α,levels decreased,the serum PGE2 level increased,and the protein and mRNA expression levels of BDNF and TrkB in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus in the preventative moxibustion group decreased significantly,while the inter-group differences were significant(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion:Preventative moxibustion at Shenque(CV8)and Guanyuan(CV4)can improve the pain sensitization state of rats with dysmenorrhea due to cold-dampness stagnation,down-regulate the mRNA and protein expression levels of BDNF and TrkB in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus;regulation of the serum SP,PGF2α,and PGE2 levels may be part of the mechanism.

The most common neurological clinical manifestations of refeeding syndrome(RFS)are seizures and altered consciousness. This article presents a case in which central pontine myelinolysis(CPM) is a complication of RFS and describes its diagnosis and treatment process. This case highlights the importance of early cranial MRI examination to exclude CPM in patients with persistent hypoghosphatemia and altered consciousness during the course of RFS treatment.

Objective:To explore whether barium chloride (BaCl 2) preconditioning has the protective effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) model in mice and the possible mechanism. Methods:Sixty 8-12 week old healthy C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into control group, ARDS model group and BaCl 2 pretreatment group, with 20 mice in each group. The BaCl 2 pretreatment group was continuously injected with BaCl 2 (4 mg/kg through the tail vein) for 3 days before ARDS model establishment. ARDS model was established by intratracheally injecting (3 mg/kg) LPS. The control group was intratracheally given the same volume of 0.9% normal saline. On 24th hour after ARDS model establishment, some mice were sacrificed for obtaining fresh lung tissue. And the right lower lobe of the lung was separated for observing the pathological changes of lung tissue while the left lung tissue was used to measure the wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) of the lung. Some mice were sacrificed for observing pulmonary microvascular permeability at 2nd hours after injecting Evans blue (EB) through tail vein. The left mice were killed for alveolar lavage to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) via enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results:Comparing with the control group, ARDS model group showed typical ARDS pathological changes, which included the increased W/D ratio (4.951±0.161 vs. 3.449±0.299, P < 0.01) and the content of EB in the lung tissue (μg/g: 0.130±0.027 vs. 0.085±0.011, P < 0.01), the damaged alveolar wall structure, lung congestion and exudates in the alveoli, as well as amounts of inflammatory cells. The pathological score of lung injury (10.33±1.15 vs. 1.67±0.58) and the level of TNF-α in BALF (ng/L: 900.85±247.80 vs. 68.21±5.79) were significantly increased in the ARDS model group (both P < 0.01). Comparing with the ARDS model group, the lung W/D ratio (4.620±0.125 vs. 4.951±0.161) and the EB content in the lung tissue (μg/g: 0.108±0.011 vs. 0.130±0.027) of BaCl 2 pretreatment group were significantly reduced (both P < 0.01). And the damaged pulmonary structural BaCl 2 pretreatment group were significantly alleviated. In addition, the pulmonary pathological score (5.00±1.00 vs. 10.33±1.15) and the level of TNF-α in BALF (ng/L: 169.16±73.33 vs. 900.85±247.80) were significantly decreased (both P < 0.01). Conclusion:Barium chloride pretreatment can improve the lung histopathological changes of ARDS model mice induced by LPS by reducing the permeability of pulmonary capillaries and local inflammatory reaction.Barium chloride has the protective effect against LPS attack in mice model of ARDS.

Quarantine insects are economically important pests that frequently invade new habitats.A rapid and accurate monitoring method to trace the geographical sources of invaders is required for their prevention,detection,and eradication.Current methods based on genetics are typically time-consuming.Here,we developed a novel tracing method based on insect gut microbiota.The source location of the insect gut microbiota can be used to rapidly determine the geographical origin of the insect.We analyzed 179 gut microbiota samples from 591 individuals of 22 quarantine insect species collected from 36 regions in China.The gut microbiota of these insects primarily included Actinobacteria,Bacteroidetes,Cyanobacteria,Firmicutes,Proteobacteria,and Tenericutes.The diversity of the insect gut microbiota was closely associated with geographical and environmental factors.Different insect species could be distinguished based on the composition of gut microbiota at the phylum level.Populations of individual insect species from different regions could be distin-guished based on the composition of gut microbiota at the phylum,class,and order levels.A method for determining the geographical origins of invasive insect species has been established;however,its practical application requires further investigations before implementation.
