OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of tirzepatide for diabetes mellitus type 2 （T2DM） and long-term weight management， and provide evidence-based basis for clinical drug treatment and health insurance policy formulation. METHODS Computer searches were conducted in Embase， PubMed， the Cochrane Library， CNKI and health technology assessment （HTA） official website from their inception to October 1st 2024 to collect HTA report， systematic review/ meta-analysis and pharmacoeconomic study on tirzepatide for the treatment of T2DM or for weight management. After data extraction and quality evaluation， descriptive analysis was performed on the research results. RESULTS Totally 18 papers were included， including 14 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 4 pharmacoeconomics studies， and no HTA report was retrieved. In terms of efficacy， most results showed that the tirzepatide 10 mg and 15 mg were significantly better than other glucagon-like peptide-1 （GLP-1） receptor agonists in reducing glycosylated hemoglobin， body weight， and waist circumference （P＜0.05）. In terms of safety， compared with other GLP-1 receptor agonists， tirzepatide did not increase the incidence of gastrointestinal-related adverse events （AE）， the incidence of AE of grade ≥3， or the incidence of severe hypoglycemia （P＞0.05）. However， tirzepatide 15 mg may significantly increased the incidence of hypoglycemia and the rate of discontinuation due to adverse reactions （P＜ 0.05）. In terms of cost-effectiveness， based on the background of foreign pharmacoeconomic studies， tirzepatide was more cost- effective compared to semaglutide and liraglutide in the treatment of T2DM or for weight management. CONCLUSIONS Tirzepatide at doses of 10 mg and 15 mg has good efficacy and safety for the treatment of T2DM and for long-term weight management. However， when using the 15 mg dose of tirzepatide， close monitoring is required due to the risk of hypoglycemia and discontinuation due to adverse reactions it may pose. Based on pharmacoeconomic studies conducted abroad results， tirzepatide exhibits economic advantages.

ObjectiveTo explore the application value of probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) in rapidly detecting and evaluating the morphological characteristics of digestive tract tissues in mice. MethodsTwelve male SPF Kunming mice aged 6 weeks were randomly divided into two groups. Six mice were subjected to gastric gavage with 52% Red Star Erguotou to establish the model, and six were given saline by gastric gavage as a control. After 28 days of modeling, 3 mice were randomly selected from each group. After deep anesthesia induced by inhalation of 3% isoflurane, the mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The stomach, duodenum, jejunum, and rectum tissues were excised and immersed in 1% fluorescein sodium solution for staining. The microstructure of the mucosal surface of each tissue was observed using pCLE. The remaining mice in the model group and the control group were deeply anesthetized by inhaling 3% isoflurane, then cardiac perfusion was performed successively with saline and 4% paraformaldehyde. The stomach, duodenum, jejunum, and rectum tissues were excised for dehydration, section and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and the morphological changes of the tissues were observed under a microscope. ResultsUnder pCLE imaging, fluorescence staining on the surface of the gastrointestinal mucosa was uniform in the control group; the morphology of gastric pits, intestinal villi, and intestinal crypts was intact, arranged compactly, and had distinct boundaries. In the model group, the gastrointestinal mucosa exhibited mucosal swelling and deformation, with uneven fluorescence staining and fluorescein leakage. Furthermore, some tissues showed defects or cell shedding, and the boundaries between adjacent characteristic structures (e.g., gastric pits, intestinal crypts) were blurred. HE staining showed that the gastrointestinal tissue structure of the control group mice was normal and well-organized, with no structural defects. Moreover, submucosal glands were uniform in size, with no hyperplasia observed, and no obvious inflammatory cell infiltration. In the model group, some gastrointestinal mucosal structures were defective and sparsely arranged; submucosal glands showed atrophy, accompanied by obvious inflammatory cell infiltration. The histological characteristics detected by pCLE were consistent with those of HE staining. ConclusionpCLE can be used to obtain rapid, real-time, large-scale, and high-resolution microscopic imaging of the gastrointestinal mucosa, realistically and comprehensively displaying its physiological and microstructural characteristics. It shows promising prospects and practical utility in the histological evaluation of digestive system injuries in small animals.

Objective:Glioblastoma(GBM)and brain metastases(BMs)are the two most common malignant brain tumors in adults.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)is a commonly used method for screening and evaluating the prognosis of brain tumors,but the specificity and sensitivity of conventional MRI sequences in differential diagnosis of GBM and BMs are limited.In recent years,deep neural network has shown great potential in the realization of diagnostic classification and the establishment of clinical decision support system.This study aims to apply the radiomics features extracted by deep learning techniques to explore the feasibility of accurate preoperative classification for newly diagnosed GBM and solitary brain metastases(SBMs),and to further explore the impact of multimodality data fusion on classification tasks. Methods:Standard protocol cranial MRI sequence data from 135 newly diagnosed GBM patients and 73 patients with SBMs confirmed by histopathologic or clinical diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed.First,structural T1-weight,T1C-weight,and T2-weight were selected as 3 inputs to the entire model,regions of interest(ROIs)were manually delineated on the registered three modal MR images,and multimodality radiomics features were obtained,dimensions were reduced using a random forest(RF)-based feature selection method,and the importance of each feature was further analyzed.Secondly,we used the method of contrast disentangled to find the shared features and complementary features between different modal features.Finally,the response of each sample to GBM and SBMs was predicted by fusing 2 features from different modalities. Results:The radiomics features using machine learning and the multi-modal fusion method had a good discriminatory ability for GBM and SBMs.Furthermore,compared with single-modal data,the multimodal fusion models using machine learning algorithms such as support vector machine(SVM),Logistic regression,RF,adaptive boosting(AdaBoost),and gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT)achieved significant improvements,with area under the curve(AUC)values of 0.974,0.978,0.943,0.938,and 0.947,respectively;our comparative disentangled multi-modal MR fusion method performs well,and the results of AUC,accuracy(ACC),sensitivity(SEN)and specificity(SPE)in the test set were 0.985,0.984,0.900,and 0.990,respectively.Compared with other multi-modal fusion methods,AUC,ACC,and SEN in this study all achieved the best performance.In the ablation experiment to verify the effects of each module component in this study,AUC,ACC,and SEN increased by 1.6%,10.9%and 15.0%,respectively after 3 loss functions were used simultaneously. Conclusion:A deep learning-based contrast disentangled multi-modal MR radiomics feature fusion technique helps to improve GBM and SBMs classification accuracy.

Strengthening the management of graduate education is of great practical significance for ensuring and improving the quality of graduate education. The expansion of graduate education brings challenges to educational resources and management models, requiring research institutions to ensure educational quality and adapt to social needs. Based on the particularity of research institutes, this article takes the practice of radiation health graduate education as an example to explore the graduate student management elements of form teachers in research institutes. Our research provides a reference for improving the management level of graduate students in research institutes. Graduate form teachers are organizers, implementers, and mentors of graduate ideological education, academic culture, daily management, employment and entrepreneurship, and mental health education. They play an important role as a bridge and link in graduate education and cultivation. Faced with the challenges of graduate education in the new era, form teachers should continuously explore work methods that adapt to the needs of the era. They should also focus on reinforcing ideological and political theories, improving professional skills, establishing and improving management systems, and leveraging the role of student cadres to ensure the high-quality development of graduate education in research institutes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of adjustable external fixation traction combined with arthroscopic microfracture in the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 27 OLT patients who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital from May 2017 to March 2022. There were 16 males and 11 females, aged (32.4±7.2) years. Lesion site: 23 medial and 4 lateral cases; Hepple staging: 7 cases at stage Ⅰ, 15 cases at stage Ⅱ, and 5 cases at stage Ⅲ; disease duration: (10.6±3.3) months. All the patients were treated by adjustable external fixation traction combined with arthroscopic microfracture. Recorded were the patients' visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scores at 6 months and 12 months after surgery, levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor- α (TNF- α) at 1 month after surgery, lesion area at 12 months after surgery, and incidence of complications. Results:The follow-up time for this cohort was (16.2±6.7) months. The AOFAS score was (61.52±6.75) points before surgery, (84.15±5.56) points at 6 months after surgery and (95.67±4.30) points at 12 months after surgery. The VAS score was (5.88±1.02) points before surgery, (2.12±0.48) points at 6 months after surgery and (0.66±0.36) points at 12 months after surgery. The two-by-two comparisons between the 3 time points for the above items were statistically significant ( P<0.05). IL-1 was (32.37±6.64) pg/mL, IL-6 (34.04±7.12) pg/mL, and TNF- α (17.89±4.96) ng/L at 1 month after surgery in the 27 patients, all of which were significantly lower than their preoperative levels [(96.63±14.80) pg/mL, (102.33±20.42) pg/mL, and (54.48±9.33) ng/L] ( P<0.05). The lesion area was (28.66±6.52) mm 2 at 12 months after surgery, significantly smaller than the value before surgery [(128.52±11.32) mm 2] ( P<0.05). Infection at the adjustable external fixation needle track occurred in 1 patient and lower limb thrombosis in 2 patients. Conclusion:In the treatment of OLT, adjustable external fixation and traction combined with arthroscopic microfracture can achieve satisfactory results and improve symptoms for the patients.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship of early tumor shrinkage and depth of tumor response with the clinical efficacy and pro-gnosis of programmed death-1(PD-1)inhibitor combined with trastuzumab and first-line chemotherapy in the treatment of HER-2-positive advanced gastric cancer.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed data from 40 patients treated with this combination at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital,The Affliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from June 2018 to March 2023.Key metrics included early tumor shrinkage(ETS),depth of response(DpR),objective response rate(ORR),disease control rate(DCR),progression-free survival(PFS),overall survival(OS),and adverse reactions.Survival analysis using Log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier method,and plot PFS and OS survival curves.COX regression analysis for correlation testing.Results:The patient's ORR was 77.5%,DCR was 100%,complete response rate was 15.0%,medi-an PFS(mPFS)was 11.10 months,and median OS(mOS)was 30.77 months.COX univariate analysis showed that tumor differentiation,liver metastasis,distant lymph node metastasis,DpR were related to PFS and OS(all P<0.05),ETS was only related to PFS(P=0.010),and PD-L1 ex-pression was not related to PFS and OS.There was a significant difference in mPFS between patients with ETS≥35%and ETS<35%(P=0.008),while there was no significant difference in mOS(P=0.076);There were significant differences in mPFS and mOS between patients with DpR≥40%and DpR<40%(P=0.001).COX multivariate analysis showed that DpR is an independent factor affecting PFS and OS,and distant lymph node metastasis is an independent factor affecting OS.The overall tolerance to treatment of the patients was good,with no grade 4 or above treatment-related adverse reactions or death.Conclusions:ETS and DpR may be predictive indicators of the efficacy and prognosis of PD-1 inhibitors combined with trastuzumab and first-line chemotherapy for HER-2 positive advanced gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE To study the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of the ethanol extract and the drug-containing serum of Zhuang medicine Stahlianthus involucratus on lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-induced RAW264.7 cell inflammation. METHODS The drug-containing serum or blank serum was obtained by intragastrical administration of ethanol extract of S. involucratus （75.35 g/kg） or purified water. Using RAW264.7 cells as objects， RAW264.7 cells were divided into normal control group， LPS group （1 μg/mL）， S. involucratus ethanol extract high-dose， medium-dose and low-dose groups （50， 25， 12.5 μg/mL）， 4% or 15% blank serum groups， 4% or 15% blank serum+LPS groups， 4% or 15% drug-containing serum groups， 4% or 15% drug-containing serum+LPS groups. After culturing for 24 h， cell viability， the contents of nitric oxide tumor necrosis factor α （TNF-α）， interleukinand IL-6 as well as mRNA expressions of Toll-like eceptor 4 （TLR4） and nuclear factor κB （NF- κB） and protein expressions of nitric oxide synthase （NOS） and cyclooxygenase 2 （COX-2） were all detected in each group. 0771-4953513。E-mail：zhuhuagx@163.com RESULTS After culturing for 24 h， there was no statisticalsignificance in the difference of cell viability. Compared with normal control group， the contents of NO， TNF-α， IL-1β and IL-6， mRNA expressions of TLR4 and NF-κB， and protein expressions of NOS and COX-2 were increased significantly in LPS group （P＜0.05）. Compared with 4% or 15% blank serum groups， the levels of above indexes were increased significantly in 4% or 15% blank serum+LPS groups （P＜0.05）. Compared with LPS group， the levels of above indexes were decreased significantly in S. involucratus ethanol extract groups （P＜0.05）. Compared with 4% or 15% blank serum+LPS groups， the levels of above indexes were decreased significantly in 4% or 15% drug-containing serum+LPS groups （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The ethanol extract and the drug-containing serum of S. involucratus can significantly alleviate LPS-induced inflammatory reaction， the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting the activity of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway， down-regulating the protein expressions of COX-2 and NOS， and reducing the release of inflammatory factors.

OBJECTIVE To study the spectru m-toxicity relationship of in vitro hepatotoxicity of aqueous extract from Euodia rutaecarpa. METHODS The aqueous extract from 16 batches of E. rutaecarpa from different habitats were prepared. The fingerprints of aqueous extract from E. rutaecarpa were established by ultra high performance liquid chromatography （UPLC） method and Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Fingerprint （2012A edition ），and common peaks were identified and the similarity was evaluated. Using normal human hepatocytes L 02 as subject ，inhibitory effect of aqueous extract from 16 batches of E. rutaecarpa to them were investigated. The spectrum-toxicity relationship of UPLC fingerprint of aqueous extract from E. rutaecarpa with the hepatotoxicity of hepatocytes L 02 was analyzed by grey relational analysis （GRA）and partial least squares regression analysis （PLSR）. The corresponding compound of the chromatographic peak with the greatest correlation with the in vitro hepatotoxicity of E. rutaecarpa were isolated ，prepared and identified. RESULTS There were 27 common peaks in UPLC fingerprints of aqueous extract from 16 batches of E. rutaecarpa ，with similarity of 0.375-0.995. Totally 9 peaks were confirmed ，i.e. neochlorogenic acid （peak 5），chlorogenic acid （peak 9），cryptochlorogenic acid （peak 10），caffeic acid （peak 12），rutin （peak 16），hyperin（peak 17），dehydroevotarine（peak 19），evotarine（peak 24），rutecarpine（peak 25）. The aqueous extract from 16 batches of E. rutaecarpa showed significant inhibitory effect on the growth of L 02 cells（P＜0.05 or P＜0.01），and the inhibitory rate ranged from 6.68％ to 67.95％. GRA showed that there were 18 common peaks with correlation degree greater than 0.8，which were peak 8＞peak 3＞peak 23＞peak 7＞peak 4＞peak 9＞peak 12＞peak 2＞peak 19＞peak 6＞ 4928381。E-mail：799247687@qq.com peak 15＞peak 5＞peak 1＞peak 17＞peak 21＞peak 26＞ peak 20＞peak 14 in descending order of correlation degree. PLSR showed that there were 14 peaks with regression coefficient＞0 and variable importance projection value ＞1，and the order of regression coefficient was peak 8＞peak 3＞peak 23＞ peak 2＞peak 7＞peak 4＞peak 12＞peak 9＞peak 19＞peak 5＞peak 17＞peak 26＞peak 10＞peak 15. Peak 8 had the greatest correlation with in vitro hepatotoxicity，and the corresponding compound of this peak was identified as 6-O-trans caffeoyl gluconic acid. CONCLUSIONS The in vitro hepatotoxicity of aqueous extract from E. rutaecarpa is the result of multiple component interaction，among which 6-O-trans caffeoyl gluconic acid shows closest relation with in vitro hepatotoxicity.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of neuromuscular training on femoroacetabular impingement. MethodsFrom January, 2017 to November, 2021, 27 patients with femoroacetabular impingement in Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 13) and observation group (n = 14). The control group accepted routine rehabilitation training, and the observation group accpeted neuromuscular training in addition. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, peak torque (PT) of hip flexion and extension, Y-balance test (YBT) and simplified International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12) before and after treatment. ResultsThe VAS score, PT, YBT score and iHOT-12 score improved in the observation group after treatment (|t| > 3.628, P < 0.01), while the VAS score and PT improved in the control group (|t| > 3.409, P < 0.01). After treatment, the VAS score, PT, YBT score and iHOT-12 score were better in the observation group than in the control group (|t| > 2.067, P < 0.05). ConclusionNeuromuscular training can relieve the pain of patients with femoroacetabular impingement, and improve the muscle strength and function of hip joint.
