Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide， ranking as the second leading cause of mortality globally and the primary cause of adult disability. Its pathological process involves complex cascade mechanisms， with high incidence and disability rates， posing a major threat to human health. According to statistics from the World Health Organization， more than 13 million new cases of stroke occur globally each year， resulting in direct medical costs and socioeconomic burdens amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars. In recent years， breakthroughs in the study of programmed cell death mechanisms have provided new insights into stroke treatment. Among them， ferroptosis， a novel form of cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation， has attracted widespread attention in the pathological process of stroke. Ferroptosis is closely associated with iron metabolism disorders， oxidative stress， and lipid peroxidation， and exhibits unique regulatory effects in key pathological processes of stroke， such as ischemia-reperfusion injury， disruption of the blood-brain barrier， and neuronal apoptosis. It plays an important role in post-stroke neurological damage. Chinese medicine， as an essential component of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， has demonstrated advantages in modulating ferroptosis and exerting neuroprotective effects. This review systematically summarizes current research on the neuroprotective mechanisms of Chinese medicine compound formulas and monomers through the regulation of ferroptosis pathways in post-stroke conditions， aiming to provide a basis for optimizing clinical treatment strategies and exploring new therapeutic approaches， and to offer new strategies and approaches for stroke treatment.

Objective To construct a nomogram model for predicting the risk of in-hospital death in CHF patients by using noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring combined with age,DBP,CRP and renal insufficiency(serum creatinine≥ 442 μmol/L).Methods A total of 223 elderly patients with acute onset of CHF admitted in First,Second Medical Centre of Chinese PLA General Hos-pital from September 2022 to March 2023 were recruited in this study.According to their clinical outcomes,they were divided into survival group(196 cases)and death group(27 cases).Based on the in-hospital death and other related indicators,a nomogram model was constructed to predict the risk factors of in-hospital death in CHF.Results Noninvasive hemodynamic mornitoring indi-cated that the death group had significantly higher LVEF and LCWI values but lower LVEDV value than the survival group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=1.131,95％CI:1.052-1.213,P=0.001),DBP(OR=0.932,95％CI:0.882-0.982,P=0.011),CRP(OR=1.171,95％CI:1.021-1.352,P=0.024),LVEDV(OR=0.984,95％CI:0.962-0.992,P=0.011)and renal insufficiency(OR=5.863,95％CI:1.351-1.731,P=0.004)were independent risk factors for the short-term prognosis of the elderly CHF patients.The AUC value of the nomogram model was 0.902(95％CI:0.819-0.948,P＜0.05),and calibration curve analysis showed the C-index was 0.902,indicating accurate predictive perform-ance.Conclusion Age,DBP,LVEDV,CRP and renal insufficiency are independent risk factors for the short-term prognosis of the elderly CHF patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of brusatol on the malignant biological behavior of ovarian cancer cells by regulating the sphingosine kinase 1 （SPHK1）/sphingosine-1-phosphate （S1P）/sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 3 （S1PR3） signaling pathway. METHODS Human ovarian cancer cell strain SKOV-3 were randomly divided into control group， brusatol group， SPHK1 overexpression group， brusatol+blank load group， brusatol+SPHK1 overexpression group. The cell viability， colony formation rate， the number of migration and invasion， apoptosis rate， the expressions of cell proliferation-related proteins [myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog （C-myc）]， apoptosis-related proteins [B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2 associated X protein （Bax）]， epithelial mesenchymal transition （EMT）-related proteins （E-cadherin， N-cadherin） and SPHK1， S1P， S1PR3 proteins were all detected in each group. Transplanted tumor model of nude mice was constructed by using SKOV-3 cells and randomly separated into control group， brusatol low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups， SPHK1 overexpression group， high- dose brusatol+blank load group， and high-dose brusatol+SPHK1 overexpression group； the growth of transplanted tumors were detected. The nude mice model of SKOV-3 transplantation tumor was randomly divided into control group， brusatol group， SPHK1 overexpression group， brusatol+blank load group， and brusatol+SPHK1 overexpression group； the proliferation and apoptosis of transplanted tumor tissue， the expressions of EMT-related Δ 基金项目江西省中医药管理局科技计划项目（No.2023B0762） ＊第一作者 副主任药师 。研究方向 ：药学研究及药理学 。E- proteins and SPHK1/S1P/S1PR3 signaling pathway proteins mail：jsgj2023@126.com were detected in each group. RESULTS Cell experiments in # 通信作者 主任医师，硕士。研究方向：妇科及妇科肿瘤学。E- vitro had shown that compared with the control group， the cell mail：11638199@qq.com viability， clone formation rate， migration number， invasion 中国药房 2024年第35卷第16期 China Pharmacy 2024 Vol. 35 No. 16 · 1991 · number， protein expressions of C-myc， Bcl-2， N-cadherin， SPHK1， S1P and S1PR3 were decreased significantly in brusatol group （P＜0.05）， while the apoptosis rate， protein expressions of Bax and E-cadherin were increased significantly （P＜0.05）； overexpression of SPHK1 could weaken the effects of brusatol on the above indicators in SKOV-3 cells. Mice experiments in vivo had shown that compared with the control group， the transplanted tumor volumes of nude mice in the brusatol low-dose， medium- dose and high-dose groups were decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner after 21 days of intervention （P＜0.05）. Brusatol of high dose could also significantly reduce the protein expressions of C-myc， Bcl-2， N-cadherin， SPHK1， S1P and S1PR3 in transplanted tumor tissue of nude mice （P＜0.05）， and significantly increase the protein expressions of Bax and E- cadherin （P＜0.05）； overexpression of SPHK1 could weaken the effects of brusatol on the above indicators in transplanted tumor tissue of nude mice. CONCLUSIONS Brusatol can inhibit the proliferation， cloning， EMT， migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells， and induce their apoptosis by down-regulating the expression of SPHK1/S1P/S1PR3 signaling pathway. It can also inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer cells in nude mice， ultimately suppressing their malignant biological behavior and exerting significant anti-cancer effects on ovarian cancer.

In recent years, the application of minimal residual disease (MRD) in solid tumors has gained widespread attention. MRD typically refers to the presence of residual cancer cells that remain undetectable by imaging after curative treatments, such as surgical resection. The presence of MRD post-surgery is significantly associated with an increased risk of tumor recurrence. In colorectal cancer, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) serves as an effective marker for assessing MRD, particularly in non-metastatic (stages I-III) colorectal cancer. As a real-time, accurate, and convenient biomarker, ctDNA can effectively predict tumor recurrence, guide postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy decisions, and provide crucial information for recurrence monitoring. The application prospects of ctDNA detection technology are vast, promising more precise and individualized treatment plans for colorectal cancer patients. This article comprehensively analyzes the progress in the application of ctDNA for detecting MRD in non-metastatic colorectal cancer patients, elaborates on its guiding role in clinical treatment decisions, and envisions the future development directions in this field.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli（ETEC）infection can induce watery diarrhea，leading to dehydration，electrolyte disturbance，and even death in severe cases. Recombinant B subunit/inactivated whole-cell cholera（rBS/WC）vaccine is effective in preventing ETEC infectious diarrhea. On the basis of the latest evidence on etiology and epidemiology of ETEC，as well as the effectiveness，safety，and health economics of rBS/WC vaccine，National Clinical Research Center for Child Health（The Children’s Hospital，Zhejiang University School of Medicine）and Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention invited experts to develop expert consensus on rBS/WC vaccine in prevention of ETEC infectious diarrhea. It aims to provide the clinicians and vaccination professionals with guidelines on using rBS/WC vaccine to reduce the incidence of ETEC infectious diarrhea.

Objective:To observe the clinical characteristics and guideline compliance of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with initial triple therapy in real-life world.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional study. The subjects of the study were COPD patients admitted to 13 hospitals in Hunan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from December 2016 to December 2021. The initial treatment was triple inhaled drugs. The data collected included gender, age, diagnosis, body mass index (BMI), history of acute exacerbation (AE) in the past year, pulmonary function, COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score, modified British Medical Research Council Dyspnea Questionnaire (mMRC), inhaled drugs and other indicators. The characteristics and differences of COPD patients before and after 2020 were analyzed.Results:7 184 patients with COPD were enrolled in this study, including 2 409 COPD patients treated with initial triple therapy, accounting for 33.5%(2 409/7 184). Taking January 1st, 2020 as the cut-off point, 1 825 COPD patients (75.8%) received initial treatment with triple inhaled drugs before 2020 and 584 patients (24.2%) after 2020 were included in this study. Compared with COPD patients before 2020, the COPD patients after 2020 had higher FEV 1% [(40.9±15.5 )% vs (39.3±15.5)%, P=0.040], lower CAT [(15.8±6.5)point vs (17.5±6.2)point, P<0.001], less AE in the past year [1(0, 2)times vs 1(0, 2)times, P=0.001] and higher rate of non-AE [255(43.7%) vs 581(37.1%), P=0.006]. In addition, before 2020, patients with COPD were mainly treated with open triple drugs (1 825/1 825, 100%); after 2020, 306 patients (52.4%) received open triple inhaled drugs, and 278 patients (47.6%) received closed triple inhaled drugs. Conclusions:In real-life world, most of patients with COPD treated with triple therapy have severe lung function, obvious symptoms and high risk of acute exacerbation. The real-world prescribing of triple therapy in patients with COPD does not always reflect recommendations in guidelines and strategies, and overtreatment is common. After 2020, prescribing triple therapy for COPD patients is more positive and worse consistency with guideline.

Objective:To explore the effect of the treatment of tendinous mallet finger deformity by the minimally invasive percutaneous quantitative suture technique eight times.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with fresh tendinous mallet fingers who underwent surgery in the Department of Hand and Foot Microsurgery of Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital from April 2021 to April 2022. During the procedure, the extensor digitalis tendon in the zone Ⅰ was sutured percutaneous with 3-0 thread monofilament sutures in the "quantitative 8-stitch method" according to the pre-marked number sequence of 1 to 8, and fixed at the base of the distal phalanx via a constructed bone tunnel. Removal of the Kirschner wire 8 weeks, the brace was used to fix the affected finger in the dorsal extension. The flexion and extension of the affected finger were gradually strengthened. The function of the affected finger was evaluated according to the Crawford standard after operation and follow-up: the active flexion and extension range of motion of each joint of the affected finger and the contralateral healthy finger was measured, and the total active ranges of motion of the finger were recorded. Finger function was evaluated according to the total active range of motion (TAM) system of the American Association of Hand Surgeons.Results:A total of 10 patients (10 digits) were enrolled, including 7 males and 3 females, and the age ranged from 20 to 52 years old, with an average age of 36.5 years old. The distance of tendon break was ≤10 mm. The operation time of the patients was 20-30 min, with an average of 24.5 min. The intraoperative blood loss was minimal. All 10 cases were followed up and the follow-up period was 6 to 12 months, with an average of 7 months. Mallet finger deformities were all corrected postoperatively, dorsal skin of fingers without a scar, there were no knot exposure, skin necrosis and other complications. At the last follow-up, the mean active range of motion of the distal interphalangeal joint was 84.4° and the mean TAM of the injured finger was 265.6°. According to TAM system assessment criteria: 8 cases were excellent, and 2 cases were good.Conclusions:Satisfactory therapeutic outcome for the treatment of tendinous mallet finger deformity can be achieved by the minimally invasive percutaneous quantitative suture technique eight times. It is a simple, safe, and effective method with minimal invasion.
