BACKGROUND:Leonurine has many biological activities such as improving microcirculation,anti-oxidation,anti-apoptosis,scavenging free radicals,anti-inflammation,and anti-fibrosis,and can promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,which has the potential to be applied in the treatment of periodontitis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects of leonurine loading into chitosan/sodium glycerophosphate/sodium alginate hydrogel. METHODS:(1)Chitosan/sodium glycerophosphate/sodium alginate hydrogel(blank hydrogel)and chitosan/sodium glycerophosphate/sodium alginate/leonurus alkali hydrogel were prepared respectively.RAW 264.7 and MC3T3-E1 cells were inoculated with the two kinds of hydrogel.The cytotoxicity of hydrogels was detected by CCK-8 assay and live/dead cell staining.(2)RAW 264.7 cells were cultured in five groups.The blank group was cultured for 24 hours routinely.The lipopolysaccharide group was treated with lipopolysaccharide.The simple hydrogel group was treated with lipopolysaccharide and blank hydrogel.The drug-loaded hydrogel group was treated with lipopolysaccharide and drug-loaded hydrogel.The inhibitor group was treated with lippolysaccharide,drug-loaded hydrogel,and PI3K inhibitor LY294002.24 hours later,mRNA expression of inflammation-related factors was detected by qRT-PCR.Western blot assay was utilized to detect the protein expression of inflammation-related factors and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.(3)MC3T3-E1 cells were inoculated in four groups.The blank group was cultured without any material.The simple hydrogel group was treated with blank hydrogel.The drug-loaded hydrogel group was treated with drug-loaded hydrogel.The inhibitor group was treated with drug-loaded hydrogel and PI3K inhibitor LY294002 for 7 days.Alkaline phosphatase staining was performed.mRNA expression levels of osteogenic factors were detected by qRT-PCR.The protein expression levels of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The results of CCK-8 assay and live/dead cell staining showed that the two kinds of hydrogels had no cytotoxic effect and had good cytocompatibility.(2)Compared with the blank group,the mRNA and protein expression levels of interleukin 6,tumor necrosis factor α,and interleukin 1β were significantly increased(P<0.05),and the protein expression levels of p-AKT,p-PI3K,p-p65,and p-IκBα were significantly increased in the lipopolysaccharide group(P<0.05).Compared with lipopolysaccharide group,mRNA and protein expression levels of the above indexes were decreased in drug-loaded hydrogel group(P<0.05).Compared with the drug-loaded hydrogel group,the mRNA and protein expression levels of the above indexes were decreased in the inhibitor group(P<0.05).(3)The activity of alkaline phosphatase in drug-loaded hydrogel group was higher than that in the blank group,simple hydrogel group,and inhibitor group(P<0.05).Compared with blank group,the mRNA expression levels of alkaline phosphatase,Runx2,osteocalcin,and type I collagen were increased(P<0.05),and the protein expression levels of p-AKT and p-PI3K were increased in the simple hydrogel group(P<0.05).Compared with the simple hydrogel group,the mRNA and protein expression levels of the above indexes were increased in the drug-loaded hydrogel group(P<0.05).Compared with the drug-loaded hydrogel group,the mRNA and protein expression levels of the above indexes were decreased in the inhibitor group(P<0.05).(4)These findings conclude that chitosan/sodium glycerophosphate/sodium alginate/leonurine hydrogel has anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects,which may be related to the regulation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the potential adverse drug interactions （pADIs） of clarithromycin， and establish refined prescription pre-review rules. METHODS Outpatient prescriptions of clarithromycin in combination with other drugs were collected from January 1， 2024 to June 30， 2024 through hospital information system of the Third People’s Hospital of Bengbu. pADIs were identified and their risk severities were graded according to Lexicomp and Micromedex databases. Then， refined prescription pre- review rules for clarithromycin pADIs-related drugs were established according to the identification and risk level results. RESULTS Among 3 046 clarithromycin combined drug prescriptions， 946 cases of pADIs occurred in 812 prescriptions. There were 6， 415 and 525 cases classified as “contraindicated”，“ major” and “moderate”， respectively. The combination drugs with “contraindicated” levels were tamsulosin， rupatadine， domperidone and ticagrelor， while those with “major” levels were mainly theophylline， dexamethasone and amlodipine. Accordingly， 26 refined rules were established， including 4 items of “warning information→prescription interception”， 11 items of “warning information→prescription double signature” and 11 items of “attention information→prescription approval”. CONCLUSIONS There are “contraindicated” and “major” risks associated with clarithromycin and its combination drugs in the hospital， and refined prescription pre-review rules for clarithromycin combined drug prescription have been established successfully.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of iron death induced by TRPC6/NF-κB in glomerular podiocytes mediated by high homocysteine(Hcy).Methods Mouse glomerulopocytes were cultured in vitro and divided into Control group(0 μmol/L Hcy)and Hcy group(80 μmol/L Hcy).After 48h of intervention,Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of iron death related proteins GPX4 and SLC7A11 and TRPC6 and NF-κ B.Real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR(qRT-PCR)and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of TRPC6.The level of podocyte apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.Malondialdehyde(MDA)assay kit was used to determine intracellular MDA levels.After transfection of TRPC6 interference fragment and TRPC6 negative control(NC),qRT-PCR was divided into Control,si-NC and si-TRPC6(Si-TRPC6-1,Si-TRPC6-2,Si-TRPC6-3).Western Blot was divided into Control,Hcy,si-NC+Hcy,si-TRPC6+Hcy.The expression of TRPC6 mRNA was detected by qRT-PCR.The expression levels of GPX4,SLC7A11,NF-κB and TRPC6 were detected by Western Blot.The level of podocyte apoptosis after interference was detected by flow cytometry.Results(1)Compared with Control group,the expression levels of iron death related proteins GPX4 and SLC7A11 in Hcy group were decreased,and the apoptosis rate was increased(P<0.05).(2)Compared with Control group,TRPC6 protein,mRNA levels and immunofluorescence expression were increased in Hcy group.The level of MDA and the expression of NF-κB signaling pathway protein increased in Hcy group,and the comparison between the two groups had statistical significance(P<0.05).(3)Compared with the si-NC group,the mRNA expression level of TRPC6 in si-TRPC6(Si-TRPC6-1,Si-TRPC6-2,Si-TRPC6-3)group was decreased,and the interference effect of Si-TRPC6-3 was the best(P<0.05).After transfecting TRPC6 NC and TRPC6 interference fragment and administering Hcy,there was no difference in GPX4,SLC7A11,NF-κB and TRPC6 expression in si-NC+Hcy group compared with Hcy group.Compared with the si-NC+Hcy group,the si-TRPC6+Hcy group had higher expression of iron death related proteins,GPX4 and SLC7A11,lower expression of NF-κB and TRPC6,and decreased apoptosis rate(P<0.05).Conclusion This study confirmed that TRPC6/NF-κB can regulate iron death of renal podocytes under the induc-tion of Hcy,which is one of the mechanisms leading to kidney injury.

Transient receptor potential vanilloid-1(TRPV1) channel is a non-selective ligand-gated cationic channel with multiple activation mechanisms in the transient receptor potential subfamily. In recent years, a large number of studies have found that TRPV1 plays an important role in the field of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. With the in-depth study of traditional Chinese medicine, it has been found that Chinese medicine monomers and their active components can activate or inhibit TRPV1 channels, which has certain potential in the study of cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, the role of TRPV1 channel in cardiovascular diseases and the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases based on TRPV1 channel are reviewed, in order to provide new ideas for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular system diseases.

[Objective]To explore the expression of transcription factor KLF16 in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and its effect on lipid metabolism.[Methods]An animal model of NAFLD was constructed in mice induced by a high-fat diet.The mice were divided into normal diet group(ND)and high fat diet group(HFD).NAFLD cell model was constructed by primary mouse liver cells induced by oleic acid.The cells were divided into control group(Control group)and oleic acid induction group(OA group).Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and Western blot were used to detect KLF16 expression in NAFLD animal and cell models.In vitro and in vivo models of KLF16 knockdown were constructed by injection of adeno-associated virus(AAV)into mouse tail veins and transient transfection of cell siRNA.Hematoxylin-eosin staining(HE)and other methods were used to detect changes in lipid deposition in NAFLD models be-fore and after KLF16 knockout.RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of key genes of lipid metabolism in both cellu-lar and animal NAFLD models before and after KLF16 knockdown.Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress protein in NAFLD model before and after KLF16 knockdown.[Results]The expression level of KLF16 was up-regulated in HFD group and OA group,and lipid deposition was increased in OA group after KLF16 was depressed.There was no change in TC level in hepatocytes between groups(P>0.05),and TG level was increased in differ-ent degrees(P<0.05,P<0.001).At the same time,the change of KLF16 expression also caused the change of ER stress protein expression in OA group.[Conclusion]The transcription factor KLF16 may alleviate lipid deposition in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Objective To study the efficacy of speech training combined with Montessori education on speech problems in children after velopharyngeal insufficiency surgery.Methods A retrospective analysis of 63 cases of children who underwent velopharyngeal repair at Children's Hospital of Soochow University between January 2019 and December 2021 was conducted.Subjects were divided into three groups.A total of 21 patients who received family rehabilitation training after the operation were divided into control group A,42 patients who received regular hospital rehabilitation training after the operation were divided into group B and group C,of which 21 patients in group B received routine speech training,and 21 patients in group C received Montessori education and routine speech training.Nasal resonance status,assessment of dysarthric intelligibility,and cranially positioned lateral radi-ographs when pronouncing/i/sounds were evaluated individually before treatment and 6 months after treatment.The improvement of velopharyngeal function,nasal resonance status,and dysarthric articulation were evaluated.Results After the six-month intervention,the dysarthric speech intelligibility were significantly improved in three groups with improvement of 35.45％in group A,43.66％in group B,and 49.33％in group C,respectively(P＜0.05).The improvement rate of nasality reached 100％in the B and C group with nasality elimination rate of 70％in group B and 95.24％nasality elimination in group C,and the efficacy of the two groups was statistically signifi-cant(P＜0.05).During phonation of the/i/tone,velopharyngeal insufficiency was observed in seven patients in group B and in only one patient in group C,and the efficacy was statistically significant in both groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Postoperative targeted speech training is necessary in patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency,and speech training combined with Montessori education can significantly improve the function of velopharyngeal clo-sure,thus achieving a good state of nasal resonance and correct articulation as early as possible.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of aerobic exercise on core symptoms and executive function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). MethodsFrom June, 2020 to December, 2021, 64 children with ADHD at outpatient in Dushu Lake Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 32) and observation group (n = 32). The control group sat down and watched the cartoon for 20 minutes, and the observation group performed cycling exercise while watching the cartoon, for twelve weeks. The core symptoms were assessed with Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ), while the inhibition, conversion and refresh functions were assessed with the psychological test software E-Prime 2.0 system. ResultsAfter twelve weeks of treatment, the PSQ factor scores decreased in the observation group (t > 4.775, P < 0.001), and were lower than that of the the control group (t > 3.184, P < 0.001). The response time and accuracy of inhibition, conversion, and refresh functions decreased in the observation group (t > 2.259, P < 0.05), and were lower than that of the control group (t > 2.007, P < 0.05). ConclusionAerobic exercise could reduce the core symptoms of poor attention and hyperactivity impulsivity, and improve the executive functioning in children with ADHD.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusions represent the second most common oncogenic driver mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). As the new class of 3rd generation of ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), lorlatinib has shown robust potency and brain-penetrant clinical activity against a wide spectrum of multiple resistance mutations within the ALK domain detected during crizotinib and 2nd generation ALK TKI treatment. Lorlatinib is generally well-tolerated with unique adverse drug reaction/adverse event, including hyperlipidemia and central nervous system effects, which are mostly mild to moderate severity and manageable through dosage modifications and/or standard medical intervention. For advanced NSCLC with ALK positivity, patients should be evaluated for baseline characteristics and pre-existing medication, informed of the potential toxicities, and periodically monitored to balance benefits and risks. Moreover, a multidisciplinary group of experts is essential to establish a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic strategy.
