A derivatizaton method combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)was established for detection of isobutyl chloroformate(IBCF)residue in active pharmaceutical ingredient of agatroban.The extraction and derivatization reagents,derivatization time,qualitative and quantitative ions were selected and optimized,respectively.The possible mechanism of derivatization and characteristic fragment ions fragmentation were speculated.The agatroban samples were dissolved and extracted by methanol,and the residual IBCF was derived with methanol to generate methyl isobutyl carbonate(MIBCB).After 24 h static derivatization at room temperature,IBCF was completely transformed into MIBCB,which could be used to indirectly detect IBCF accurately.The results showed that the linearity of this method was good in the range of 25-500 ng/mL(R2=0.9999).The limit of detection(LOD,S/N=3)was 0.75 μg/g,and the limit of quantification(LOQ,S/N=10)was 2.50 μg/g.Good recoveries(95.2%-97.8%)and relative standard deviations(RSDs)less than 3.1%(n=6)were obtained from agatroban samples at three spiked levels of IBCF(2.50,25.00,50.00 μg/g),which showed good accuracy of this method.Good precision of detection results was obtained by different laboratory technicians at different times,the mean value of spiked sample solution(25.00 μg/g)was 24.28 μg/g,and the RSD was 2.1%(n=12).The durability was good,minor changes of detection conditions had little effect on the results.Under the original condition and conditions with initial column temperature±5℃,heating rate±2℃/min,column flow rate±0.1 mL/min,the IBCF content of spiked sample solution(25.00 μg/g)was detected,the mean value of detection results was 24.16 μg/g,and the RSD was 2.2%(n=7).Eight batches of agatroban samples from two manufacturers were detected using the established method,and the results showed that no IBCF residue was detected in any of these samples.The agatroban samples could be dissolved by methanol,and then the IBCF residue could be simultaneously extracted and derived with methanol as well.This detection method had the advantages of simple operation,high sensitivity,low matrix effect and accurate quantification,which provided a new effective method for detection of IBCF residue in agatroban.

Objective To make an epidemiological investigation on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)dampness syndrome manifestations in the population at risk of cerebrovascular diseases in Guangdong area.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze the clinical data related to the risk of cerebrovascular diseases in 330 Guangdong permanent residents.The diagnosis of dampness syndrome,quantitative scoring of dampness syndrome and rating of the risk of stroke were performed for the investigation of the distribution pattern of dampness syndrome and its influencing factors.Results(1)A total of 306(92.73%)study subjects were diagnosed as dampness syndrome.The percentage of dampness syndrome in the risk group was 93.82%(258/275),which was slightly higher than that of the healthy group(48/55,87.27%),but the difference was not statistically significant(χ2 = 2.91,P = 0.112).The quantitative score of dampness syndrome in the risk group was higher than that of the healthy group,and the difference was statistically significance(Z =-2.24,P = 0.025).(2)Among the study subjects at risk of cerebrovascular disease,evaluation time(χ2 = 26.11,P = 0.001),stroke risk grading(χ2= 8.85,P = 0.031),and history of stroke or transient ischemic attack(TIA)(χ2 = 9.28,P = 0.015)were the factors influencing the grading of dampness syndrome in the population at risk of cerebrovascular disease.Conclusion Dampness syndrome is the common TCM syndrome in the population of Guangdong area.The manifestations of dampness syndrome are more obvious in the population with risk factors of cerebrovascular disease,especially in the population at high risk of stroke,and in the population with a history of stroke or TIA.The assessment and intervention of dampness syndrome should be taken into account for future project of stroke prevention in Guangdong.

Objective:To investigate the effect of irisin on inflammatory response in brain tissue of neonatal rats with hy-perbilirubinemia. Method:Sixty-six neonatal SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control group(group A)and the model group(group M).Hyperbilirubinemia models were established by intraperitoneal injection of bilirubin so-lution at the age of 7 days and 10 days.After the last injection,6 rats were randomly selected from group A and M to verify the success of the model establishment,and then group M was randomly divided into group B and group C.Rats in group C were injected with 80 μg/kg irisin solution in lateral ventricles,and the oth-er groups were injected with the same amount of PBS.After the injection into lateral ventricle,groups A,B and C were further divided into three subgroups according to different points of death.Neurobehavioral tests were performed at each time point.Morphology of cortical or hippocampal nerve cells was detected by HE staining,and the concentrations of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 were detected by ELISA. Result:At 12h,there was no significant difference in the time of plane righting reflex among the three groups(P＞0.05);At 24h,the rats in group B and C were longer than those in group A(P＞0.05);At 48h,group B was longer than group A and C(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference between group A and C(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in tropism test among the three groups at each time point(P＞0.05).Under the HE staining,the cortex neuron structure in group A were clear and complete but the number of hippocampal neurons was reduce;in group B and C,the number of neurons in cortex and hip-pocampus was decreased,the structure was disordered,and different degrees of pathological damage were ob-served.Group C was better than group B.Under the ELISA,the concentrations of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 in group B were higher than those in group A at each time point(P＞0.05);the concentrations of TNF-α,IL1βand IL-6 in group C were significantly lower than those in group B at each time point(P＞0.05);the concen-tration of TNF-α in the brain tissue of group C was higher than that of group A at 12h(P＞0.05),and at 24h and 48h were lower than those in group A(P＞0.05);the concentration of IL-6 in the brain tissue of group C was lower than that of group A at 12h and 24h(P＞0.05);at 48h,there was no significant difference in the concentration of IL-6 between group C and group A(P＞0.05);the concentration of IL-1β in the brain tissue of group C was not significantly different from that of group A at the three time points(P＞0.05). Conclusion:Irisin can effectively reduce the release of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 in the brain tissue of neonatal rats with hyperbilirubinemia,and play an anti-inflammatory role.

This paper reports a pair of siblings with congenital short-bowel syndrome (CSBS) complicated with intestinal malrotation. Case 1 was born with a birth weight of 2 550 g and a length of 48 cm. On September 10, 2017, emergency Ladd's procedure and appendectomy were performed on the infant 23 days after birth due to intestinal obstruction at the Women and Children's Hospital, School of Medicine, Xiamen University. The small intestine of the infant had a total length of 65 cm. Postoperative enteral and parenteral nutrition supports were provided for six months. Whole exome sequencing revealed a homozygous variant (NM 024769; nucleotide deletion in the exon 3-5) in the CLMP gene (chr11:122953792-122955421), with the parents being the heterozygous carriers but without phenotype. Case 2, the younger sibling of Case 1, was born in the same hospital on March 20, 2020, with a birth weight of 2 932 g and a body length of 49 cm. Prenatal single-gene sequencing on the amniotic fluid identified the same gene variation as his sister's. The baby boy received Ladd's procedure and appendectomy on the second day after birth which found the length of his small intestine was 51 cm. Full enteral nutrition was achieved six months after the operation. Both cases were followed up for 12 months. The body weight and length of Case 1 were both below the first percentile (< P1). The body weight of Case 2 was 8.03 kg ( P3- P5) and the length was 76.0 cm ( P25- P50).

The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) protein family is a cluster of highly conserved molecules that play an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Hsp90 and its co-chaperones regulate a variety of pathways and cellular functions, such as cell growth, cell cycle control and apoptosis. Hsp90 is closely associated with the occurrence and development of tumors and other diseases, making it an attractive target for cancer therapeutics. Inhibition of Hsp90 expression can affect multiple oncogenic pathways simultaneously. Most Hsp90 small molecule inhibitors are in clinical trials due to their low efficacy, toxicity or drug resistance, but they have obvious synergistic anti-tumor effect when used with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, tubulin inhibitors or topoisomerase II (Topo II) inhibitors. To address this issue, the design of Hsp90 dual-target inhibitors can improve efficacy and reduce drug resistance, making it an effective tumor treatment strategy. In this paper, the domain and biological function of Hsp90 are briefly introduced, and the design, discovery and structure-activity relationship of Hsp90 dual inhibitors are discussed, in order to provide reference for the discovery of novel Hsp90 dual inhibitors and clinical drug research from the perspective of medicinal chemistry.

The incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) continues to rise, and there are no effective drugs to treat it. The immune microenvironment plays an important role in the development of ICC and is currently a research hotspot. Icaritin (ICA) is an innovative traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. It is considered to have potential immunoregulatory and anti-tumor effects, which is potentially consistent with the understanding of "Fuzheng" in the treatment of tumor in traditional Chinese medicine. However, whether ICA can be used to treat ICC has not been reported. Therefore, in this study, sgp19/kRas, an in situ ICC mouse model with intact immune system, was selected to evaluate the efficacy of ICA in the treatment of ICC in vivo for the first time, and the effects of ICA on the tumor immune microenvironment of ICC mice were analyzed by flow cytometry. This experiment was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Capital Medical University (approval number: AEEI-2023-138). In this study, sgp19/kRas ICC mouse model was treated with oral gavage of 100 mg·kg^-1 ICA. We found that ICA significantly inhibited tumor growth and tumor cell proliferation in the sgp19/kRas ICC mouse model after 3 weeks of treatment. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that ICA treatment markedly reduced the proportion of M2 macrophages and increased the number of CD3⁺CD4⁺ T cells. In vitro experiments demonstrated that ICA promoted macrophage polarization towards the M1 phenotype while inhibiting polarization towards the M2 phenotype. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis suggested that ICA enhanced Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) expression, influencing macrophage nitric oxide metabolism synthesis pathways and receptor-related activities, thereby regulating macrophage polarization. In summary, this study demonstrates that ICA treatment significantly delays tumor progression in sgp19/kRas ICC mouse models. Mechanistically, ICA may achieve its anti-ICC effects by upregulating TLR9 receptor expression levels, promoting macrophage polarization towards the M1 phenotype, and altering the tumor immune microenvironment.

OBJECTIVE To conduct a clinical comprehensive evaluation of potassium-competitive acid blockers （P-CAB） and provide reference for medical institutions to select new drugs， optimize drug catalogs， and use such drugs reasonably. METHODS clinical application guidelines， expert consensus， drug instructions， drug registration data （including phase Ⅲ clinical trials）， meta- analysis/systematic review of databases such as PubMed and CNKI related to Vonoprazan fumarate tablets， Tegorasen tablets， and Keverprazan hydrochloride tablets already on the market in China were collected and organized. Based on the Quick Guidelines for Drug Evaluation and Selection in Chinese Medical Institutions （Second Edition）， a comprehensive evaluation of the three P-CAB drugs was conducted from five dimensions: pharmaceutical characteristics， efficacy， safety， economy， and the other property. RESULTS The five dimensions of the three P-CAB were ranked from high to low as follows： Vonoprazan fumarate tablets （81.8 points）， Tegorasen tablets （75.7 points）， and Keverprazan hydrochloride tablets （75.6 points）. Among them， Vonoprazan fumarate tablets scored the highest in 4 dimensions of pharmaceutical properties， efficacy， economy， and the other property； but the safety score was slightly low. CONCLUSIONS The three types of P-CAB are comprehensively strongly recommended and demonstrated good clinical efficacy. Vonoprazan fumarate tablets have more advantages in terms of pharmaceutical properties， efficacy， and economy.

Phosphatase and tensin-homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) is an important cancer suppressor gene. Its pathogenic mutation leads to PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS), a rare syndrome also known as Cowden syndrome, which is relevant to early-onset hereditary breast cancer (BC). In this paper, we report three patients with unilateral multicentric BC and synchronous and metachronous bilateral BC who harbored PTEN gene mutations, and summarize the clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up outcomes to provide reference for management of PTEN gene mutation-related BC among the Cowden syndrome population.

Objective This study aims at establishing a teaching catalog and content for breast rare dis-eases and developing the syllabus for the breast rare disease using integrated multimodality of case-/problem-/resource-based learning(CBL+PBL+RBL).Methods By conducting bibliometrics co-occurrence analysis,we collected 6291 articles on breast rare disease published from January,1975 to June,2024.Additionally,we re-trieved the Textbook on Rare Diseases,the Catalog of Chinese Rare Disease,and Second Batch of Rare Dis-ease Catalog and then decided the teaching content.Results From 16,387 keywords,1000(6.1％)keywords were identified through co-occurrence analysis,including 50(0.3％)candidate diseases.These were classified into three categories:rare primary breast diseases,rare genetic mutation-related diseases associated with breast cancer,and rare systemic multi-system diseases involving the breast.From the candidate list,20(0.1％)rare primary breast diseases were further selected for their notable clinical teaching significance,and significant multi-systemic diseases affecting the breast,whether related to gene mutations or not.Teaching plans were draf-ted using a diversified parallel teaching approaches,taking into account the characteristics of different diseases and the focus of different teaching methods.Conclusions This study initiated the development of the teaching content for breast rare diseases and developed the teaching syllabus using the CBL+PBL+RBL integrated multi teaching model and targeting each rare breast disease for the critical point for teaching.

Objective To establish the structural confirmation methods of three suspected new psychoac-tive substances(NPSs),and explore a more general qualitative testing method.Methods Infrared ab-sorption spectroscopy(IR),gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS),1H-nuclear magnetic reso-nance spectroscopy(1H-NMR),13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(13C-NMR),19F-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(19F-NMR)and other techniques were used to identify the composi-tion and structure of 5 samples containing suspected NPS submitted by public security bureaus.Results NPSs were found in the above 5 samples,and 3 were confirmed as NPS included in the newly listed controlled substances on July 1,2024,namely 2-(methylamino)-2-(2-methylphenyl)cyclohexan-1-one(2-MDCK),2-(ethylamino)-2-(2-fluorophenyl)cyclohexan-l-one(2-FXE),1-(3,4-methylenedioxy-phenyl)-2-(dimethylamino)pentan-1-one(dipentylone),respectively.The first two substances were phen-cyclidine NPS,and the third substance was synthetic cathinone NPS.Conclusion This study systemati-cally summarizes the distinguishing features of the infrared absorption spectrometry,nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry of three NPSs,which can provide a reference for the qualitative identification of unknown substances.
