OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Insulin degludec and liraglutide injection (IDegLira) and Insulin glargine and lixisenatide injection(iGlarLixi) in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM), and provide an evidence-based basis for the clinical treatment of T2DM. METHODS Computerized searches of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang data and VIP were conducted with a time frame from the inception to August 2024. Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) were rigorously screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, from which information was extracted and included studies were evaluated for risk of bias. Network meta-analysis was performed using Stata 14.0 software. RESULTS A total of 15 RCTs, including 9 513 patients, were included, involving four treatment regimens: IDegLira, iGlarLixi, insulin degludec(IDeg), and insulin glargine(iGlar). The differences between IDegLira and iGlarLixi were not statistically significant(P>0.05) for the outcome indexes of glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, body weight, and the incidence of adverse events(P>0.05); for the outcome index of the incidence of hypoglycemic events, IDegLira was significantly superior to iGlarLixi [OR=0.41,95%CI(0.18,0.91),P<0.05]. Surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) results showed that iGlarLixi(84.5%)>IDegLira(81.7%) in lowering HbA1c; IDegLira(71.3%)>iGlarLixi(20.0%) in lowering fasting blood glucose; IDegLira(90.7%)>iGlarLixi(61.8%) in lowering body weight; IDegLira(95.5%)>iGlarLixi(9.7%) in reducing the incidence of hypoglycemic events; and IDegLira(27.1%)>iGlarLixi(14.5%) in reducing the incidence of adverse events. CONCLUSIONS iGlarLixi has better therapeutic efficacy in reducing HbA1c; IDegLira has better therapeutic efficacy in reducing fasting blood glucose and body weight. IDegLira has the lowest risk of hypoglycemia.

This article systematically reviews and verifies the historical evolution of Stemonae Radix from the aspects of name, origin, harvesting and processing, quality and others by consulting ancient and modern literature, in order to provide reference for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing this medicinal herb. Stemonae Radix has a long history of application, and it derives its name from its distinctive growth pattern, featuring clusters of ten to several dozen underground tuberous roots. This morphology resembles that of certain plants in the genus Asparagus, leading to historical instances where tuberous roots from genus Asparagus were mistakenly used as Stemonae Radix. After the research, it can be concluded that Stemonae Radix was first recorded in Mingyi Bielu, and throughout history, Baidu has been recognized as its official name, though it also bears alternative names such as Baibing, Pofucao and Ye Tianmendong. The mainstream sources used throughout history have been the dried tuberous roots of Stemona sessilifolia, S. japonica or S. tuberosa from the family Stemonaceae. This aligns with the 2025 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China(hereinafter referred to as Chinese Pharmacopoeia). Additionally, Asparagus filicinus and A. officinalis from the genus Asparagus are common sources of confusion with Stemonae Radix. The three primitive plants are mainly distributed in the Yangtze River basin and southern China, exhibiting a wide distribution. Historically, wild harvesting was predominant, but cultivation is now established. In ancient times, the harvesting time was mostly in the second, third, and eighth lunar months, when roots were harvested and dried. Nowadays, it is more common to pick and excavate in the spring and autumn seasons. After excavation, the roots are washed, fibrous roots removed, briefly blanched in boiling water or steamed until no white core remains, and then sun-dried or oven-dried. In ancient times, the processing of Stemonae Radix primarily involved roasting(stir-frying), wine roasting, or raw materials. Modern mainstream processing specifications include two types of raw and honey-roasted products. In terms of quality evaluation of the medicinal materials, ancient criteria of "preferring plump and moist roots" align with modern requirement favoring "thick, robust stems with firm texture". Evaluating quality with authenticity, since the Song dynasty, it has been highly praised to produce in Chuzhou and Hengyang as the best. It was an ancient method of fixing the production area to stabilize the medicinal origin, reflecting the ancient recognition of the therapeutic efficacy of plants belonging to the genus Stemona. The main functions of Stemonae Radix remain consistent throughout history, including relieving coughs, eliminating phlegm and parasites. Based on the research results, it is recommended that when developing famous classical formulas containing the medicinal material Stemonae Radix, the botanical source specified in the 2025 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia should be selected. The specific species can be determined according to the distribution of resources and the main production areas, and the origin and corresponding botanical source should be fixed. Processing methods should be chosen based on the prescription requirements. It is recommended to use raw products without specified requirements.

Objectives:To investigate the effect of inhibition of long non-coding RNA(lnc RNA)in human metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1(MALAT1)on glycolipitoxicity-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell dysfunction. Methods:Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were treated with glucose and palmitic acid in vitro to establish the glycolipitoxic endothelial cell models.Following groups were examined:control group,high-glucose and high-fat group,high-glucose and high-fat + non-targeting RAN control group,high-glucose and high-lipid+MALAT1 siRNA group,and high-glucose and high-lipid+MAPK1 siRNA group.RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of MALAT1 and MAPK1.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of autophagy,mitochondrial fusion division,apoptosis,and pathway-related proteins.Immunofluorescence confocal localization was used to detect the fluorescence colocalization of autophagy and lysosome-related proteins.The number of autophagolysosomes in endothelial cells was observed by transmission electron microscopy.Mitochondrial probe staining was used to detect mitochondrial morphology,immunofluorescence was used to detect intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)production,flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of cells in each group,cell proliferation and scratch assays were used to detect the proliferation and migration ability of cells in different groups at different time points.The angiogenesis was quantified by counting the number of new blood vessels in each group. Results:Compared with the control group,the expression of lncRNA MALAT1 mRNA and the expression of phosphorylated mito-activated protein kinase 1(p-MAPK1)were upregulated(both P<0.05)and the expression of phosphorylated mammalian target protein(p-mTOR)was downregulated in the high-glucose and high-fat group and the high-sugar and high-fat control group(all P<0.01).Compared with the high-glucose and high-fat non-targeting RNA control group,the expressions of microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3(LC3)and p62 were downregulated(P<0.01,P<0.05),LC3 and lysosome-associated membrane protein 2(LAMP2)protein co-localized positive fluorescence particles were increased(both P<0.01),number of lysosomes were decreased,the expression of ROS was decreased(P<0.01),the expression level of mitochondrial fusion protein optic nerve atrophin 1(OPA1)was increased(P<0.05),the expressions of cleaved caspase-3 and BCL-2-related X protein(BAX)were decreased and BCL-2 was increased(all P<0.05),cell proliferation,migration,and tube-forming ability were increased(all P<0.01),and the expression of p-MAPK1 was decreased(P<0.05)and p-mTOR expression was increased(both P<0.05)in the high-glucose and high-lipid+si-MALAT1 group.Compared with the high-glucose and high-fat non-targeting RNA control group,the expression of p-MAPK1 in endothelial cells was decreased and the expression of p-mTOR was increased in the high-glucose and high-lipid+si-MAPK1 group(both P<0.01). Conclusions:Inhibition of lncRNA MALAT1 expression can reduce the level of mitophagy in glycolipidotoxic environments,reduce apoptosis of endothelial cells and improve endothelial cell function,which may be related to the regulation of MAPK1/mTOR signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To excavate the adverse drug event (ADE) signals of three third-generation tetracycline antibiotics (tigecycline, omadacycline, eravacycline) based on FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS), and to provide reference for the safe use of them. METHODS The ADE reports of tigecycline, omadacycline and eravacycline from the first quarter of 2005 to the second quarter of 2023 were retrieved from FAERS database. The ADE signals of 3 kinds of drugs were mined by the method of reporting odds ratio method and the proportional reporting ratio method. RESULTS Totally 2 538 ADE reports with tigecycline, omadacycline and eravacycline as the primary suspected drugs were obtained, including 2 135 tigecycline ADE reports, 349 omadacycline ADE reports and 54 eravacycline ADE reports. A total of 131 ADE positive signals of tigecycline were mined, involving 19 system organ classes (SOCs), mainly concentrated in investigations, hepatobiliary system, blood and lymphatic system, and gastrointestinal system, etc; the preferred terminologies (PT) with intense signal were hypofibrinogenaemia and blood fibrinogen decreased. Fourteen ADE signals were not mentioned in the drug instruction, such as renal failure, acute kidney injury and hemorrhage. Totally 24 ADE positive signals of omadacycline were mined, involving 6 SOCs, mainly concentrated in the gastrointestinal system and various examinations; the PTs with intense signals were tooth discoloration, jet-like vomiting and loose feces, etc. ADE signals were not mentioned in the drug instructions, included lip swelling, gastroesophageal reflux disease, eosinophilia, skin discoloration, feces softening, and night sweats. Five ADE positive signals of eravacycline were mined, involving 4 SOCs, mainly concentrated in various examinations, gastrointestinal system, etc. The most intense ADE signals were blood fibrinogen decreased and hypofibrinogenaemia. CONCLUSIONS ADE of the gastrointestinal system are mostly identified in the three third-generation tetracycline antibiotics, especially pancreatitis caused by tigecycline and gastroesophageal reflux disease caused by oral administration of omadacycline. The liver function, renal function (for tigecycline) and coagulation function (for tigecycline, eravacycline) should be monitored biyiliang@hotmail.com regularly during medication, so as to prevent the occurrence of serious ADE.
