OBJECTIVE To analyze the characteristics of pediatric medicines with priority review and approval for marketing in China, providing a reference for promoting enterprise R&D and production, as well as improving the supply guarantee mechanism for pediatric medicines. METHODS Based on publicly available data sources such as List of Approved Information for Pediatric Medications Subject to Priority Review and Approval, Pharnexcloud biomedical database, and National Medical Insurance Drug Directory, this study conducted a comprehensive analysis of the main characteristics of pediatric medicines with priority review and approval for marketing. RESULTS As of June 30, 2024, a total of 68 pediatric medicines had been approved through the priority review and approval process, covering 12 therapeutic areas, with oral dosage forms accounting for 64.71%. The median time from application to inclusion in priority review was 35.50 days, with an average of 41.69 days. The median time from inclusion in priority review to market approval was 1.24 years, with an average of 1.42 years. This included 12 domestic new medicines, 21 domestic generic medicines, 35 imported medicines, as well as 29 pediatric-specific medicines and 21 orphan medicines. Additionally, 31 of these medicines had been included in the medical insurance catalog, representing a proportion of 45.59%. CONCLUSIONS Currently, a trend of differentiated competition is emerging between domestic and imported pediatric medicines. The therapeutic areas for pediatric medicines are continuously expanding, and the dosage forms are becoming more tailored to children’s needs. However, there are still issues such as slow progress in new medicine development, insufficient stability in the medicine review and approval process, and a need to increase the proportion of medicines included in medical insurance.

BACKGROUND:We have successfully established an animal model of small ear pig in southern Yunnan province with internal tension relieving technique combined with autologous Achilles tendon for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,and verified the stability and reliability of the model.However,whether internal tension relieving technique can promote the ligamentalization process of autologous Achilles tendon graft has not been studied. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the differences in the process of ligamentalization between conventional reconstruction and internal reduction reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament by gross view,histology and electron microscopy. METHODS:Thirty adult female small ear pigs in southern Yunnan province were selected.Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed on the left knee joint with the ipsilateral knee Achilles tendon(n=30 in the normal group),and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed on the right knee joint with the ipsilateral knee Achilles tendon combined with the internal relaxation and enhancement system(n=30 in the relaxation group).The autogenous right forelimb was used as the control group;the anterior cruciate ligament was exposed but not severed or surgically treated.At 12,24,and 48 weeks after surgery,10 animals were sacrificed,respectively.The left and right knee joint specimens were taken for gross morphological observation to evaluate the graft morphology.MAS score was used to evaluate the excellent and good rate of the ligament at each time point.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to evaluate the degree of ligament graft vascularization.Collagen fibers and nuclear morphology were observed,and nuclear morphology was scored.Ultrastructural remodeling was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The ligament healing shape of the relaxation group was better at various time points after surgery,and the excellent and good rate of MAS score was higher(P<0.05).Moreover,the relaxation group could obtain higher ligament vascularization score(P<0.05).(2)The arrangement of collagen bundles and fiber bundles in the two groups gradually tended to be orderly,and the transverse fiber connections between collagen gradually increased and thickened,suggesting that the strength and shape degree of the grafts were gradually improved,but the ligament remodeling in the relaxation group was always faster than that in the normal group at various time points after surgery.(3)The diameter,distribution density,and arrangement degree of collagen fibers in the relaxation group were better than those in the normal group at all time points,especially in the comparison of collagen fiber diameter between and within the relaxation group(P<0.05).

By reviewing the ancient and modern literature, the name, origin, scientific name evolution, place of origin, quality, harvesting, processing, efficacy and toxicity of Asteris Radix et Rhizoma(ARR) were systematically sorted out, so as to provide reference for the development and utilization of the relevant famous classical formulas. According to textual research, ARR was first contained in Shennong Bencaojing, all generations are Ziwan for its proper name, and there are still aliases such as Ziyuan, Ziqian and Xiaobianer. Its mainstream origin in successive generations was Aster tataricus, and there are also Ligularia fischeri and others in local area of use. The medicinal parts of ARR are root and rhizome, but in modern times, the rhizome is mostly used for propagation and cultivation, so some of ARR medicinal materials only have the root without the rhizome. The earliest recorded ancient origin of ARR was now Fangxian(Hubei), Zhengding and Handan(Heibei), then the range of production areas gradually expanded, the mainstream production areas from the Song dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties included Hebei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan and other places, since modern times, two major producing areas have been formed in Anguo, Hebei province and Bozhou, Anhui province. From the quality evaluation, it is clear that from ancient times, flexible roots and purple color are the best. The ancient harvesting was mainly in lunar February or March, and then dried in the shade, and the modern harvesting is mostly in spring and autumn, and the roots are braided into pigtails and then dried in the sun or dried in the sun after 1-2 d. The ancient and modern processing method of ARR are basically the same, mainly honey processing, there are still methods of frying, steaming, vinegar sizzling, etc. Based on the results, it is recommended that the dried roots and rhizomes of A. tataricus should be used in clinical and the development of related famous classical formulas, and those whose original formulas specify the processing requirements can be processed according to the relevant requirements, while whose processing requirements are not specified should be used in the form of raw products.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of alfentanil (ALF) on myocardial fibrosis in rats with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by regulating sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1)/sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) signaling pathway. METHODS Male SD rats were collected to construct AMI model by the ligation of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into AMI model group (Model group), ALF low-dose group (ALF-L group, 0.25 mg/kg ALF), ALF high-dose group (ALF-H group, 0.5 mg/kg ALF), high dose of ALF+SphK1 activator group (ALF-H+K6PC-5 group, 0.5 mg/kg ALF+1 μg/g K6PC-5). At the same time, a sham operation group (Sham group) was set up to perform only chest opening/closing operations without ligating the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery, with 15 rats in each group. Rats in each drug group were intraperitoneally injected with the corresponding drug solution, once a day, for 4 consecutive weeks. Twelve hours after the last medication, cardiac function indicators [left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular systolic diameter (LVSD), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS)] of rats were detected in each group; the condition of myocardial infarction, pathological changes in myocardial tissue, and degree of fibrosis were observed; serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnⅠ) in rats were detected. The protein expressions of collagen Ⅰ , collagen Ⅲ , matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), SphK1 and S1P were alsodetected in the myocardial tissue of rats. RESULTS Compared with the Sham group, the arrangement of myocardial cells in the Model group was disordered, with a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrating. The levels of LVSP, LVFS and LVEF in the Model group were significantly reduced (P<0.05); LVSD level, myocardial infarction area, collagen volume fraction, serum levels of BNP and cTnⅠ, the protein expressions of collagen Ⅰ, collagen Ⅲ, MMP-2, SphK1 and S1P in myocardial tissue were significantly increased or enlarged (P<0.05). Compared with the Model group, the pathological changes and degree of fibrosis in the myocardial tissue of rats in each dose group of ALF were improved or relieved, while the quantitative indicators of rats in the ALF-H group were significantly improved and significantly better than those in ALF-L group (P<0.05). K6PC-5 could significantly reverse the improvement effect of high-dose ALF on the above quantitative indicators in rats (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS ALF can reduce myocardial fibrosis and improve cardiac function in AMI rats, and the effect may be related to the inhibition of the SphK1/S1P signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation of polymorphism and loci interaction of nucleic acid binding oligomeric domain-like receptor heat protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) gene and susceptibility to coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) in Xinjiang Region. Methods A total of 109 CWP were selected as the case group, and 69 coal miners with similar age, years of dust exposure and work types were selected as the control group by convenient sampling method. Blood samples of individuals in workers in these two groups were collected, and the genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphism loci, rs1539019, rs4612666, rs4925650 and rs7525979, in the NLRP3 gene were detected using an improved multiplex ligation detection reaction. The optimal genetic model was selected based on the Akaike information criterion. Results The results of unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that individuals with the C allele of rs1539019 or rs4612666 had a higher risk of CWP than those with the A or T allele (all P<0.05), and individuals with the AA genotype of rs1539019 or the TT genotype of rs4612666 had a lower risk of CWP than those with the CC genotype (all P<0.05), after adjusting for age, years of work, alcohol, and smoking. The optimal genetic models for rs1539019 and rs4612666 were the recessive model and the additive model, respectively, and these differences were associated with the susceptibility to CWP at the Bonferroni-corrected level (all P<0.05). No correlation was found between rs4925650 and rs7525979 and the susceptibility to CWP (all P>0.05). In the smoking population, the rs1539019 co-dominant model, recessive model, and additive model were associated with a decreased risk of CWP (all P<0.05). The rs4612666 co-dominant model, dominant model and additive model were associated with an increased risk of CWP (all P<0.05), with the optimal genetic models being the recessive model and the additive model among smokers. The rs1539019 and rs4612666 were not found to be associated with the increased risk of CWP in non-smokers (all P>0.05). The rs4612666 dominant model and additive model were associated with an increased risk of CWP (all P<0.05), and the rs4925650 recessive model and over-dominant model were associated with a decreased and increased risk of developing CWP (all P<0.05), with the optimal genetic models being the dominant model and the over-dominant model in drinkers. The rs1539019 co-dominant model, dominant model, recessive model, and additive model were associated with a decreased risk of developing CWP (all P<0.05), and the rs4612666 co-dominant model, recessive model, and additive model were associated with an increased risk of developing CWP (all P<0.05), with the optimal genetic models being the additive model and the recessive model in non-drinkers. The result of haplotype analysis showed that the ACAC and ACGC haplotypes were associated with a reduced risk of CWP (all P<0.05). Conclusion The rs1539019 and rs4612666 loci of the NLRP3 gene are associated with susceptibility to CWP. This study provides clues for further research on the risk of CWP in coal workers.
