OBJECTIVE To predict the in vivo bioequivalence of lenvatinib mesilate capsules and reference preparation by using the parallel artificial membrane permeability analysis. METHODS Based on the biopharmaceutics classification system classification of lenvatinib mesilate and the parallel artificial membrane permeation model, the in vitro dissolution permeation rate test model of lenvatinib mesilate capsules was established, through real-time monitoring of the dissolution and penetration of lenvartinib mesylate capsules and reference preparations in fasting gastric juice, intestinal fluid and postprandial intestinal fluid, the flux and total penetration of drugs through the membrane were calculated. RESULTS In fasting state and fed state, the 90% confidence interval of geometric mean ratio of two key quality parameters (permeation flux and permeation amount) of the preparation A all were in the range of 80.00%−125.00%, the preparation B did not fall into this interval. CONCLUSION This research method can predict the bioequivalence of renvartinib mesylate capsule and reference preparation, and has a certain correlation in vivo and in vitro.

Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)is a prevalent and aggressive global malignancy.Conventional sur-gical treatments,radiotherapy,chemotherapy,and targeted therapies often fall short in halting disease progression due to inher-ent limitations,resulting in suboptimal prognosis.Despite the advent of immunotherapy drugs offering new hope for NSCLC treatment,current efficacy remains insufficient to meet all patient needs.Therefore,actively exploring novel immunotherapeu-tic approaches to further reduce mortality rates in NSCLC patients has become a crucial focus of NSCLC research.This article aims to systematically review the anti-tumor effects ofinterleukin-21 and follicular helper T cells in NSCLC immunotherapy by summarizing and analyzing relevant literatures from both domestic and international sources,as well as exploring the potential for enhancing NSCLC treatment prospects through immune checkpoint regulation via immunotherapeutic means.

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury(MIRI)occurs after cardiopulmonary bypass open heart surgery,cardiovascular intervention and thrombolytic therapy,which is the most important cause of cardiac insufficiency,heart fail-ure,and even death in patients after treatment.In recent years,studies have found that the release of endogenous active peptides can alleviate the production of MIRI,and regulating the function and action of endogenous peptides may be one of the most effective ways to treat MIRI.Dipeptidyl peptidase 4(DPP4)is an important serine protease in mammals,with enzymatic activity to hydrolyze endogenous peptides.Its primary physiological function is to metabolize short peptides,in-cluding growth factors,hormones,etc.This review aims to better understand and search for effective therapeutic targets by elucidating the impact of DPP4 on the hydrolysis of endogenous peptides in MIRI,and ultimately provide new ideas for the therapeutic effects of MIRI.

Background and Aims:Severe and multiple complications significantly affect the survival of patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD).Previous studies have primarily focused on improving anastomosis techniques to reduce postoperative fistulas,with limited research on anatomical approaches to decrease complications and improve patient outcomes.This article summarizes our team's experience in applying curettage and suction dissection method in PD and analyzes its safety and clinical efficacy. Methods:The clinical data from patients undergoing elective PD in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of Inner Mongolia Medical University Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively collected.Patients using the curettage and suction dissection method were designated as the observation group,while those using traditional anatomical techniques were served as the control group.The observation group utilized the Peng's multifunctional operational dissector(PMOD),whereas the control group used conventional electrotome and ultrasonic scalpel during operation.The main clinical variables between the two groups were compared,and factors affecting postoperative survival of patients were also analyzed. Results:A total of 169 patients were included,with 59 in the observation group and 110 in the control group.No significant differences in baseline characteristics were found between the groups(all P＞0.05).The observation group exhibited more nerve infiltration during surgery than the control group(64.41％vs.39.09％,P=0.002),but had significantly shorter operative time(236 min vs.330 min,P＜0.01).There were no significant differences in lymph node metastasis,blood loss,or vascular infiltration between the two groups(all P＞0.05).The incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula was significantly lower in the observation group than that in the control group(16.9％vs.40.0％,P=0.002).No significant differences were noted between the groups in terms of reoperation rate within one month,postoperative hospitalization duration,bile leakage,bleeding,infection,delayed gastric emptying or survival(all P＞0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis identified smoking,tumor nerve infiltration,and delayed gastric emptying as independent risk factors affecting survival(all P＜0.05). Conclusion:Using curettage and suction dissection method with PMOD in PD is safe and feasible.It is simpler,less invasive,and results in shorter operative time compared to traditional method,indirectly reducing postoperative complications.Its clinical efficacy is reliable,suggesting potential for broader application in clinical practice.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of depressive symptoms among primary and middle school students in Xihu District, Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into depression control among primary and middle school students. Methods: Students were sampled from two primary schools, two junior high schools, two ordinary high schools and one vocational high school in Xihu District using a stratified cluster random sampling method from September to November, 2021. Participants' demographics, diet, exercise, sleep and campus bullying were collected using questionnaire surveys. The depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Chinese version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), and factors affecting the depressive symptoms were identified among primary and middle school students using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 518 students were investigated, including 518 primary school students (34.12%), 363 junior high school students (23.91%), 463 ordinary high school students (30.50%) and 174 vocational high school students (11.46%). Of all participants, there were 805 males (53.03%). The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 38.87% among the participants, and was 36.10%, 42.42%, 42.33% and 30.46% among primary school, junior high school, ordinary high school and vocational high school students, respectively. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender (OR=1.601, 95%CI: 1.289-1.989), type of school (junior high school, OR=1.299, 95%CI: 0.974-1.734; ordinary high school, OR=1.351, 95%CI: 1.025-1.780; vocational high school, OR=0.862, 95%CI: 0.585-1.272), frequency of fresh vegetable intake (less than once daily, OR=0.454, 95%CI: 0.304-0.679; once and more daily, OR=0.359, 95%CI: 0.235-0.548), duration spent on the internet (0.5 to 1 h daily, OR=1.447, 95%CI: 1.044-2.006; 1 h and longer daily, OR=1.456, 95%CI: 1.072-1.978), sufficient sleep (OR=0.525, 95%CI: 0.371-0.744), suffering from campus bullying (OR=1.992, 95%CI: 1.491-2.661) were associated with the development of depressive symptoms. Conclusions The prevalence of depressive symptoms is high among primary and middle school students in Xihu District. Gender, type of school, dietary behaviors, sleep duration and campus bullying are factors affecting the development of depressive symptoms.

In recent years， with the increasing social aging， the incidence of Alzheimer's disease （AD）， a neurodegenerative disease， is increasing. Due to its complex pathogenesis， there have been no effective prevention and treatment methods at present. The main pathological feature of AD is the accumulation of hyperphosphorylated microtubule-associated protein （Tau） and amyloid β-protein （Aβ） in cells to form a large number of senile plaques. Autophagy is a protective mechanism in body that maintains homeostasis by removing abnormal proteins. Studies have shown that regulating autophagy pathway can affect Tau and Aβ in cells and achieve the purpose of treating AD. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is characterized by multiple pathways， components and targets， which has unique advantages in the treatment of AD with unknown pathogenesis. At present， the prevention and treatment of AD by TCM has achieved initial success. Researchers have found that many single TCMs and TCM compounds treat AD by affecting autophagy-related pathways and regulating the autophagy activity. Therefore， this paper summarized the relevant research in recent years， described the active components of single TCMs and TCM compounds by classification， and discussed the generation and removal of phosphorylated Tau proteins and Aβ in cells regulated by different categories of active components and compounds via influencing tautophagy-related pathways to delay the process of AD， which facilitated the prevention and treatment of AD by TCM via influencing autophagy as the breakthrough point.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of lower extremity axial distractor (LEAD) and traction table assisted closed reduction and intramedullary nail fixation in treatment of femoral subtrochanteric fracture. METHODS: The clinical data of 117 patients with subtrochanteric fracture of femur treated by closed reduction and intramedullary nail fixation between May 2012 and May 2022 who met the selection criteria were retrospectively analyzed. According to the auxiliary reduction tools used during operation, the patients were divided into LEAD group (62 cases with LEAD reduction) and traction table group (55 cases with traction table reduction). There was no significant difference in baseline data, such as gender, age, injured side, cause of injury, fracture Seinsheimer classification, time from injury to operation, and preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, between the two groups ( P>0.05). Total incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy frequency, closed reduction rate, fracture reduction quality, fracture healing time, weight-bearing activity time, and incidence of complications, as well as hip flexion and extension range of motion (ROM), Harris score, and VAS score at 1 month and 6 months after operation and last follow-up were recorded and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: There were 14 cases in the LEAD group from closed reduction to limited open reduction, and 43 cases in the traction table group. The incisions in the LEAD group healed by first intention, and no complication such as nerve and vascular injury occurred during operation. In the traction table group, 3 cases had perineal crush injury, which recovered spontaneously in 1 week. The total incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy frequency, and closed reduction rate in the LEAD group were significantly better than those in the traction table group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the quality of fracture reduction between the two groups ( P>0.05). Patients in both groups were followed up 12-44 months, with an average of 15.8 months. In the LEAD group, 1 patient had delayed fracture union at 6 months after operation, 1 patient had nonunion at 3 years after operation, and 1 patient had incision sinus pus flow at 10 months after operation. In the traction table group, there was 1 patient with fracture nonunion at 15 months after operation. X-ray films of the other patients in the two groups showed that the internal fixator was fixed firmly without loosening and the fractures healed. There was no significant difference in fracture healing time, weight bearing activity time, incidence of complications, and postoperative hip flexion and extension ROM, Harris score, and VAS score at different time points between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION For femoral subtrochanteric fracture treated by close reduction and intramedullary nail fixation, compared with traction table, LEAD assisted fracture reduction can significantly shorten the operation time, reduce intraoperative blood loss and fluoroscopy frequency, reduce incision length, effectively improve the success rate of closed reduction, and avoid complications related to traction table reduction. It provides a new method for good reduction of femoral subtrochanteric fracture.

Distal pancreatectomy is the first choice for the treatment of benign, malignant, inflammatory and traumatic lesions in the body and tail of pancreas. In recent decades, abdominal drainage has been a common therapeutic option to reduce postoperative complications in abdominal surgery. However, with the rise of the theory of accelerated rehabilitation surgery, the safety and effectiveness of postoperative abdominal drainage have been controversial, and the placement and management of intraoperative drainage have been questioned. This article reviewed the related literatures at home and abroad, and summarized the controversial issues such as whether to place abdominal drainage tube after distal pancreatectomy, the choice of postoperative drainage mode, and the timing and indication of abdominal drainage tube removal.

Onodera prognostic nutrition index (OPNI) is a simple and effective parameter. It is calculated by serum albumin level and peripheral blood lymphocyte count. Initially, OPNI is used to assess preoperative nutritional status and surgical risk. In recent years, researchers have found that OPNI is related to the prognosis of many tumors. Simple and accurate prognosis evaluation can help to select treatment methods for digestive system malignant tumors, determine the best pre-operative treatment time and operation time, and improve the survival rate of patients with diges-tive system malignant tumors. The authors review the related literatures at home and abroad, and summarize the research advances in the prognostic value of OPNI for malignant tumors of digestive systems.
