The polymerase 1 and transcript release factor (PTRF)-cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) phospholipid remodeling pathway facilitates tumor proliferation in glioma. Nevertheless, blockade of this pathway leads to the excessive activation of oncogenic receptors on the plasma membrane and subsequent drug resistance. Here, CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) was identified through screening of CRISPR/Cas9 libraries. Suppressing PTRF-cPLA2 signaling resulted in the activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway through phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine remodeling, which ultimately increased DPP4 transcription. In turn, DPP4 interacted with EGFR and prevented its ubiquitination. Linagliptin, a DPP4 inhibitor, facilitated the degradation of EGFR by blocking its interaction with DPP4. When combined with the cPLA2 inhibitor AACOCF3, it exhibited synergistic effects and led to a decrease in energy metabolism in glioblastoma cells. Subsequent in vivo investigations provided further evidence of a synergistic impact of linagliptin by augmenting the sensitivity of AACOCF3 and strengthening the efficacy of temozolomide. DPP4 serves as a novel target and establishes a constructive feedback loop with EGFR. Linagliptin is a potent inhibitor that promotes EGFR degradation by blocking the DPP4-EGFR interaction. This study presents innovative approaches for treating glioma by combining linagliptin with AACOCF3 and temozolomide.

Objective To investigate effects of ligustilide(LIG)on proliferation,apoptosis,angiogenic mimicry and Ras homolog gene family member A(RhoA)/Rho associated coiled coil containing protein kinase 1(ROCK)signaling pathway in esophageal cancer cells.Methods Esophageal cancer cell line EC-109 was treated with LIG at concentrations of 0,12.5,25,50,100,and 200 μmol/L to detect cell activity,and the suitable concentration was selected for subsequent experiments.EC-109 cells were grouped into the control group,the LIG low,medium and high concentration groups(LIG-L,LIG-M and LIG-H groups),and the LIG-H+RhoA activator Naciclassine group(LIG-H+Naciclassine group).Edu was applied to detect cell proliferation,and flow cytometry was applied to detect cell apoptosis.Angiogenetic mimicry was observed.Western blot assay was applied to detect expression levels of proteins related to cell proliferation and apoptosis,and RhoA,ROCK proteins.Nude mouse tumor transplantation experiment was applied to verify the effect of LIG on the growth of esophageal cancer tumors.Immunohistochemistry was applied to detect expression levels of angiogenesis related factors(VEGF),RhoA and ROCK proteins in transplanted tumors.Results Compared with the control group,the vascular mimicry tubular structure of EC-109 cells decreased sequentially in the LIG-L group,the LIG-M group and the LIG-H group.The positive rate of Edu,the expression levels of Cyclin D1,Ki67,Bcl-2,RhoA and ROCK reduced in turn.P21,cell apoptosis rate,the expression of Bax and Caspase-3 increased in sequence(P＜0.05).Naciclasine,RhoA activator,partially reversed the effect of LIG on cell proliferation,apoptosis and vasculogenic mimicry of esophageal cancer cells.Nude mouse transplantation tumor experiment showed that compared with the control group,the growth rate of transplanted tumor showed down,tumor volume decreased and the expression levels of RhoA,ROCK and VEGF decreased in the LIG group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ligustilide inhibits the proliferation and angiogenic mimicry of esophageal cancer cells by inhibiting RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway,and promotes the apoptosis of esophageal cancer cells.

Objective:To investigate the application of digital teaching system in the teaching of onlay abutment teeth preparation for trainees receiving standardized residency training of stomatology (abbreviated as "resident trainees").Methods:The digital simulation teaching system unit was established by using the tissue morphology memory characteristics of 3Shape Trios oral scanner and Geomagic Control X 3D imaging design software. Eighteen resident trainees from the Daping Hospital were randomly divided into two groups, nine in the control group, preparing the onlay resin tooth model independently after taking the routine PPT + demonstration operation teaching; the other nine in the test group, preparing onlay model after learning digitization teaching system unit. All resident trainees prepared on three models respectively. After the teaching, the amounts of preparation and polymerization degree were compared between the two groups, making a summary teaching evaluation. Amounts of preparation, polymerization degree and teaching satisfaction were tested by independent-samples t-test with software SPSS 21.0. Results:Compared with the resident trainees in control group, the t values of width difference of buccal shoulder, lingual shoulder, proximal middle shoulder and distal middle shoulder, height difference of functional cusp and the lowest part of the proximal middle fossa, and degree of buccal polymerization, lingual polymerization and distal polymerization were 6.21, 6.12, 3.83, 4.73, 3.73, 4.79, 8.35, 4.35, and 6.69 respectively , while P values were respectively as <0.001, <0.001, <0.001, <0.001, 0.001, <0.001, <0.001, <0.001, and <0.001, with statistical difference ( P<0.05) . The t values of height difference of non-functional cusp, the lowest part of the distal middle fossa and degree of proximal polymerization were 1.02, 1.97, and 1.43, while P values were respectively 0.312, 0.054, and 0.158, with no statistical difference ( P>0.05). All indicators of teaching satisfaction were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of digital teaching system is conducive to improving the onlay abutment teeth preparation level of residents with high teaching satisfaction, which is worth promoting in clinical practice.

Methamphetamine (METH) abuse is associated with significant neurotoxicity, high addiction potential, and behavioral abnormalities. Recent studies have identified a connection between the gut microbiota and METH-induced neurotoxicity and behavioral disorders. However, the underlying causal mechanisms linking the gut microbiota to METH pathophysiology remain largely unexplored. In this study, we employed fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and antibiotic (Abx) intervention to manipulate the gut microbiota in mice administered METH. Furthermore, we supplemented METH-treated mice with short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and pioglitazone (Pio) to determine the protective effects on gut microbiota metabolism. Finally, we assessed the underlying mechanisms of the gut-brain neural circuit in vagotomized mice. Our data provide compelling evidence that modulation of the gut microbiome through FMT or microbiome knockdown by Abx plays a crucial role in METH-induced neurotoxicity, behavioral disorders, gut microbiota disturbances, and intestinal barrier impairment. Furthermore, our findings highlight a novel prevention strategy for mitigating the risks to both the nervous and intestinal systems caused by METH, which involves supplementation with SCFAs or Pio.

This study shows a case of a patient with synovial chondromatosis of the hip misdiagnosed as rice body bursitis. The patient complained of pain and limited activity in his left hip. He was diagnosed with synovial chondromatosis of the hip by medical history, physical examination, imaging examination and postoperative pathology. Based on literature review, the characteristics and differential diagnosis of the disease in epidemiology, imaging and pathology were discussed in detail, so as to improve the understanding of the disease and avoid misdiagnosis. He was treated with hip arthroscopy and obtained satisfactory therapeutic effect. The patient was followed up for 1 year without recurrence.

Methamphetamine (Meth) abuse can cause serious mental disorders, including anxiety and depression. The gut microbiota is a crucial contributor to maintaining host mental health. Here, we aim to investigate if microbiota participate in Meth-induced mental disorders, and the potential mechanisms involved. Here, 15 mg/kg Meth resulted in anxiety- and depression-like behaviors of mice successfully and suppressed the Sigma-1 receptor (SIGMAR1)/BDNF/TRKB pathway in the hippocampus. Meanwhile, Meth impaired gut homeostasis by arousing the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-related colonic inflammation, disturbing the gut microbiome and reducing the microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Moreover, fecal microbiota from Meth-administrated mice mediated the colonic inflammation and reproduced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in recipients. Further, SCFAs supplementation optimized Meth-induced microbial dysbiosis, ameliorated colonic inflammation, and repressed anxiety- and depression-like behaviors. Finally, Sigmar1 knockout (Sigmar1^-/-) repressed the BDNF/TRKB pathway and produced similar behavioral phenotypes with Meth exposure, and eliminated the anti-anxiety and -depression effects of SCFAs. The activation of SIGMAR1 with fluvoxamine attenuated Meth-induced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors. Our findings indicated that gut microbiota-derived SCFAs could optimize gut homeostasis, and ameliorate Meth-induced mental disorders in a SIGMAR1-dependent manner. This study confirms the crucial role of microbiota in Meth-related mental disorders and provides a potential preemptive therapy.

OBJECTIVE：To analyze the clinical manifestations and characteristics of adverse drug reactions （ADR）induced by EGFR-TKI，and to provide reference for safe use of drugs in clinic. METHODS ：The relevant data of EGFR-TKI-induced ADR reports which were reported to Shandong ADR Monitoring Center from January 2018 to December 2020 were summarized ，and analyzed statistically in respects of age ，gender，drug variety ，ADR classification ，usage and dosage ，occurrence time ，involved organs/systems，clinical manifestations and prognosis of patients. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ：A total of 120 ADR reports induced by EGFR-TKI were included ，involving 120 patients. Among 120 patients，the female （60.83％）was more than the male （39.17％），and the age was mainly 50-79 years old （79.16％）. A total of 5 drugs including gefitinib ，ositinib，afatinib，ektinib and erlotinib were involved. ADR occurred in 72，11，15，6 and 16 patients using the above drugs respectively ；the main ADR was general ADR （70.83％），followed by severe ADR （22.50％），new general ADR （5.00％）and new severe ADR （1.67％）. All patients were given drugs orally ，off-label use was found in 2 patients who used ektinib ，and the rest met the medication requirements of the drug instructions. ADR occurred in 61 patients（50.83％）within 1 month after medication ，34 patients （28.33％）within 1-3 months after medication ，25 patients（20.83％）within 4-12 months after medication ，and no ADR occurred after 12 months. ADR of organs/systems involved were mainly the lesion of skin and its appendant injury，gastrointestinal system injury and hepatobiliary system injury. The main clinical manifestations were rash ，diarrhea and abnormal liver function ；in addition，some patients developed severe or new severe ADR such as interstitial pneumonia ，bone marrow suppression ，tongue swelling and cerebral infarction. Totally 102 patients recovered or improved after drug withdrawal or symptomatic treatment ，12 patients had unknown outcome ，and 6 patients did not improve. It is suggested that pharmaceutical care should be strengthened within 1 month after EGFR-TKI administration ，so as to guard against the occurrence of new and serve ADR and ensure the safety of clinical medication.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between different obesity phenotypes and abnormal blood pressure in children and adolescents in Yinchuan city, and to provide appropriate treatment and intervention measures for obese children and adolescents.Methods:The current research design was adopted to facilitate the cluster sampling.A total of 1 047 children and adolescents aged 12 to 18 in Yinchuan were enrolled in this study from September 2017 to September 2018.There were 530 males and 517 females, with an average age of (13.93±1.24) years old.The questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory testing were carried out.Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS 19.0 software.Results:Among the children and adolescents with normal weight, the composition ratio of the metabolically unhealthy normal-weight (MUNW) phenotype was 7.6%.In the obese cases, the composition ratio of the metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) phenotype was 20.2%.The blood pressure of MUNW [systolic pressure SBP: (119±13) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa); diastolic pressure(DBP)(74±10) mmHg] and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) [SBP (127±10) mmHg; DBP(74±7) mmHg] phenotypes were significantly higher than those of the metabolically healthy normal-weight (MHNW) phenotype (all P<0.05). The blood pressure of the MUO [SBP(127±10) mmHg; DBP(74±7) mmHg] phenotype was significantly higher than that of the MHO phenotype ( P<0.05). After adjusting for age, gender, and family history of hypertension, MUNW and MUO phenotypes were 5.93 (95% CI: 3.10-11.36) and 11.63 (95% CI: 6.37-21.24) times more likely to develop blood pressure abnormalities than MHNW phenotypes, respectively ( P<0.001). The MHO phenotype was 0.63 (95% CI: 0.08-4.93) times more likely to develop blood pressure abnormalities than the MHNW phenotype ( P=0.66). Conclusions:The MHO phenotype does not increase the risk of abnormal blood pressure, while the MUNW phenotype does.Therefore, it is recommended to identify the MHO phenotype and MUNW phenotype in order to provide appropriate obesity treatment and interventions for children and adolescents.

OBJECTIVE：To investigate the occurrence and characteristics of new adverse drug reactions （ADR）in Shandong province，so as to provide reference for the safety of drug use in the clinic. METHODS ：The data of new ADR reports were collected from Spontaneous Reporting System of Shandong ADR Monitoring Center during Oct. 2019 to Mar. 2020. Those reports were analyzed statistically in respects of report types ，reporting institution ，reporters’occupation，gender and age of patients ，drug type ，organs/ systems involved ，clinical manifestations. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ：A total of 8 566 new ADR reports were screened out ， accounting for 10.81％ of the effective ADRs. Among them ，there were 7 961 new and general ADR （92.94％）and 605 new and serious ADRs （7.06％）. For the new ADR ，the reporting institutions were mainly medical institutions （98.42％），and the reporters ’ occupation were mainly doctors （78.44％）. Female （4 860 cases）was slightly more than male （3 698 cases）；most of them were 45 years old and above （70.00％），and intravenous drip （47.67％）was the main route of administration. The top five ADR suspected drugs were TCM preparations （34.50％），anti-microbials（13.75％），circulatory system drugs （11.41％），nervous system drugs （6.39％）and blood system drugs （4.81％），involving 517，91，64，53，50 types，respectively，among which Levofloxacin injection caused the most serious ADR （24 cases）. The new and general ADR mainly involved gastrointestinal system ，skin and its appendant ； their clinical manifestations were nausea ，vomiting，rash，etc. New and serious ADR mainly caused systemic damage ；their clinical manifestations were anaphylactic shock ，chest tightness and shivering ，etc. It is suggested to strengthen the ADR monitoring of TCM preparations，anti-microbials，circulatory system drugs and other drugs ，so as to ensure the safety of clinical drug use.
