ObjectiveTo explore the clinical safety of Feilike Mixture (FLK) in the real world. MethodsThe safety of all children who received FLK from 29 institutions in 12 provinces between January 21,2021 and December 25,2021 was evaluated through prospective centralized surveillance and a nested case control study. ResultsA total of 3 035 juveniles were included. There were 29 research centers involved,which are distributed across 12 provinces,including one traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital and 28 general hospitals. The average age among the juveniles was (4.77±3.56) years old,and the average weight was (21.81±12.97) kg. Among them,119 cases (3.92%) of juveniles had a history of allergies. Acute bronchitis was the main diagnosis for juveniles,with 1 656 cases (54.46%). FLK was first used in 2 016 cases (66.43%),and 142 juvenile patients had special dosages,accounting for 4.68%. Among them,92 adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurred,including 73 cases of gastrointestinal system disorders,10 cases of metabolic and nutritional disorders,eight cases of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases,two cases of vascular and lymphatic disorders,and one case of systemic diseases and various reactions at the administration site. The manifestations of ADRs were mainly diarrhea,stool discoloration,and vomiting,and no serious ADRs occurred. The results of multi-factor analysis indicated that special dosages (the use of FLK)[odds ratio (OR) of 2.642, 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.105-6.323],combined administration: spleen aminopeptide (OR of 4.978, 95%CI of 1.200-20.655),and reason for combined administration: anti-infection (OR of 1.814, 95%CI of 1.071-3.075) were the risk factors for ADRs caused by FLK. Conclusion92 ADRs occurred among 3 035 juveniles using FLK. The incidence of ADRs caused by FLK was 3.03%,and the severity was mainly mild or moderate. Generally,the prognosis was favorable after symptomatic treatment such as drug withdrawal or dosage reduction,suggesting that FLK has good clinical safety.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) site rs76206423 in the promoter region of the interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) β gene among Han males in a high radiation background area (HBRA) in Yangjiang City. Methods A total of 48 male participants from Tangkou Town, Yangxi County, Yangjiang City (HBRA group), and 51 male participants from Hengpo Town, Enping City (control group) were selected as the research subjects using the random number table method. Peripheral venous blood samples of participants from both groups were collected, and genomic DNA was extracted. The genotyping and allele frequency distribution of the rs76206423 (A/G) site in the IL-2R β promoter region was detected among the participants in both groups using the SNP detection method. The difference of allele frequencies between population in HBRA group and five area of East Asia, South Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas published in the Human Genome Project database from National Center for Biotechnology Information were analyzed. Results The allele frequencies of rs76206423 of population in both groups conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05). In the HBRA group, the AA genotype was predominant (64.6%), while the AG genotype was the most common in the control group (51.0%), with a significant difference (P<0.05). Population in both groups showed a predominance of the variant allele A (78.1% and 72.5%, respectively), with no significant difference (P>0.05). The frequency of the G allele of rs76206423 in the population in HBRA group was higher than those in South Asian, African, European, and American populations (all P<0.01), but showed no significant difference compared with East Asian populations (P>0.05). Conclusion In the Han male population from the HBRA in Yangjiang City, the rs76206423 site in the IL-2R β gene promoter region is predominantly composed of the wild-type A allele and AA genotype, indicating genetic stability and a relatively high degree of variation at this locus.

Objective: To prepare platelet membrane biomimetic liposomes loaded with vincristine sulfate (VCR) for targeted delivery to tumor. Methods: Vincristine sulfate liposomes (LIPO) were prepared using the pH-gradient method, followed by the fusion of platelet membranes and subsequent drug loading to obtain platelet membrane biomimetic liposomes (PLM-LIPO). The particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), Zeta potential, and drug encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of both liposomes were characterized. The tumor-targeting capability was evaluated through in vitro cellular experiments and in vivo biodistribution studies. Results: The optimal preparation conditions for LIPO were determined as follows: DPPC-to-cholesterol molar ratio of 1∶1, internal aqueous phase of 0.3 M pH 4.0 citrate buffer, external aqueous phase of 1 M Na
HPO
solution, drug-to-lipid ratio of 1∶10, drug loading temperature of 60℃, and loading time of 10 minutes. The LIPO exhibited a mean particle size of (147.3±2.24) nm, PDI of 0.078±0.014, Zeta potential of (-3.54±0.75) mV, and EE% of 91.37±0.47. For PLM-LIPO, prepared via membrane fusion followed by drug loading, the mean particle size was (185.3±3.61) nm, PDI was 0.075±0.022, Zeta potential was (-18.91±1.54) mV, and EE% was 63.36±2.45. In the CD62P validation experiment, the fluorescence intensity of PLM-LIPO was five times higher than that of LIPO. In vitro cellular uptake experiments revealed that PLM-LIPO showed 1.3-fold and 1.2-fold higher uptake rates compared to LIPO at 6 h and 12 h, respectively. In vivo experiments demonstrated that 1h after administration, the accumulation of PLM-LIPO at tumor sites was 4-fold higher than that of LIPO and 6-7 times higher than that in healthy mice. Conclusion: The platelet membrane biomimetic liposomes loaded with vincristine sulfate were successfully developed. Both cellular uptake and tissue distribution studies confirmed the PLM-LIPO enhanced tumor-targeting capability.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for revising the safety content of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) instructions. METHODS A systematic analysis was conducted on the relevant announcements on the revision of TCM instruction from 2013 to 2024, including the year of publication, drug name, drug formulation, announcement release time, and the average number of revisions made to three safety contents (contraindication, adverse drug reaction, and precaution). According to the report data of national adverse drug reaction monitoring from 2013 to 2024, analyze the proportion of TCM in all adverse drug reactions, the composition ratio of adverse drug reaction of different dosage forms of drugs [TCM injection, oral TCM, other (topical) TCM]. RESULTS From 2013 to 2024, the National Medical Products Administration issued a total of 101 notices on the revision of TCM instruction, involving 241 types of TCM. Among them, there were 163 types of oral TCM, 25 types of TCM injection, and 53 types of other (topical) TCM. There were 3, 10 and 0 types of TCM injection, oral TCM, and other (topical) TCM with missing safety content, respectively. The main source of adverse drug reaction data for TCM injections was post- marketing monitoring data (accounting for 48.00%); the main source of adverse drug reaction data for oral TCM was monitoring data (accounting for 71.17%); 73.58% of other (topical) TCM did not mention the source of adverse drug reaction data. The report on national adverse drug reaction monitoring showed that the proportion of all adverse drug reactions of TCM had decreased from 17.3% in 2013 to 12.1% in 2024. Among them, the proportion of adverse drug reaction of TCM injection in the three dosage forms of TCM had decreased from 61.3% in 2015 to 24.6% in 2024, while the proportion of adverse drug reaction of oral TCM in the three dosage forms of TCM had increased from 34.7% in 2015 to 64.0% in 2024. CONCLUSIONS The risk management of TCM safety content has achieved results in China, but still faces three major challenges: strongdependence on passive monitoring, insufficient data traceability, and missing key content. It is urgent to improve safety content by dosage form, optimize data sources, and fully utilize real-world evidence to supplement safety content.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disease mainly occurring among women of childbearing age. Its main symptoms include menstrual disorders, acne, hirsutism, infertility, oily skin, acanthosis nigricans, and obesity. Currently, the etiology and pathogenesis of PCOS remain unclear. Classical formulas, which have rigorous compatibility, concise composition, precise alignment with syndromes, and definitive therapeutic effects, demonstrate unique practical and scientific value in the treatment of PCOS. These formulas exhibit significant clinical efficacy, mild adverse effects, and sustained therapeutic outcomes. To explore the current status and mechanisms of classical formulas in treating PCOS, on the basis of Zhang Zhongjing's academic thoughts on gynecological diseases, this paper reviewed the relevant literature on the treatment of PCOS with classical formulas in recent years. The findings reveal that the pathogenesis of PCOS predominantly involves a combination of internal deficiency and superficial excess, closely related to dysfunction of the liver, spleen, and kidney. The root cause lies in deficiency, and on this basis, there are also symptoms of qi stagnation, blood stasis, phlegm obstruction, and dampness encumbrance. Commonly used classical formulas for treating this disease include Guizhi Fuling pills, Danggui Shaoyao powder, Wenjing decoction, and Jingui Shenqi pills. These classical formulas have good clinical efficacy in treating PCOS. Their mechanisms of action may be related to improving serum levels of sex hormones, increasing the dominant follicle diameter and endometrial thickness, alleviating insulin resistance, lowering glucose and lipid metabolism, inhibiting oxidative and inflammatory reactions in the ovarian tissue, regulating the intestinal flora, correcting the flora disorder, protecting the intestinal barrier function, and regulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathway. The above research results can help doctors use classical formulas flexibly, broaden diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for PCOS and provide ideas for improving the traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment plan for PCOS.

Hyperlipidemia is characterized by elevated levels of blood lipids. The clinical manifestations are mainly atherosclerosis caused by the deposition of lipids in the vascular endothelium. The link between abnormal lipid metabolism and sudden hearing loss remains unclear. This article presents a case study of sudden hearing loss accompanied by familial hyperlipidemia. Pure tone audiometry indicated intermediate frequency hearing loss in one ear. Laboratory tests showed abnormal lipid metabolism, and genetic examination identified a heterozygous mutation in theAPOA5 gene. Diagnosis: Sudden hearing loss; hypercholesterolemia. The patient responded well to pharmacological treatment. This paper aims to analyze and discuss thepotential connection between abnormal lipid metabolism and sudden hearing loss.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Shugan Quyu Jiedu prescription (SGQYJDF) on inducing ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells based on the tumor protein 53 (p53)/solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) pathway. MethodMHCC97H cells were divided into the blank serum group (10% blank serum medium), SGQYJDF-containing serum low concentration group (5% SGQYJDF-containing serum and 5% blank serum medium), SGQYJDF-containing serum medium concentration group (7.5% SGQYJDF-containing serum and 2.5% blank serum medium), SGQYJDF-containing serum high concentration group (10% SGQYJDF-containing serum medium) and sorafenib group (sorafenib concentration of 10 μmol·L-1 in 10% blank serum medium). After 24 hours of intervention, the cell survival rate was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The cell proliferation ability was detected by 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining. The intracellular ferrous ion (Fe2+) level was detected by ferrous ion fluorescent probe (FerroOrange) staining. The intracellular malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels were detected by colorimetric assays. The ultrastructure of mitochondria was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins p53, SLC7A11 and GPX4 were detected by Western blot. ResultIn terms of cell viability, compared with the blank serum group, the SGQYJDF group showed a dose-dependent decrease in the survival rate of MHCC97H cells. Effect of the medium and high concentrations of SGQYJDF on the survival rate of MHCC97H cells were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Additionally, the results of the EdU assay showed that both the medium and high concentrations of SGQYJDF were able to inhibit the proliferation ability of MHCC97H cells (P<0.05, P<0.01). Regarding the biochemical indicators of ferroptosis, compared to the blank serum group, the medium and high concentrations of SGQYJDF were able to dose-dependently increase the intracellular Fe2+ level (P<0.01). The low, medium, and high concentrations of SGQYJDF were able to dose-dependently decrease the level of GSH in MHCC97H cells (P<0.01) and increase the level of MDA in the cells (P<0.05, P<0.01). In terms of pathway-related protein expression, compared to the blank serum group, the medium and high concentrations of SGQYJDF could significantly increase the expression of p53 (P<0.01). The low, medium, and high concentrations of SGQYJDF could significantly decrease the expression of GPX4 (P<0.01). The high concentration of SGQYJDF could decrease the expression of SLC7A11 (P<0.01). In terms of the cell morphology of ferroptosis, compared with the blank serum group, transmission electron microscopy revealed that the low concentration of SGQYJDF caused mitochondrial deformation, while the medium and high concentrations of SGQYJDF resulted in reduced mitochondrial volume, increased double-layer membrane density, and decreased mitochondrial cristae. These features were similar to those of sorafenib-induced ferroptosis. Furthermore, compared with the sorafenib group, the high concentration of SGQYJDF showed no statistically significant differences in cell survival rate, proliferation ability, Fe2+ level, MDA level, and GSH level. ConclusionThe results suggest that SGQYJDF may induce ferroptosis and inhibit proliferation in hepatocellular carcinoma MHCC97H cells by upregulating the expression of p53, suppressing the expressions of GPX4 and SLC7A11, downregulating the level of GSH, and leading to the accumulation of intracellular Fe2+ and MDA.
