OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of metformin in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2 （T2DM） complicated with sarcopenia in elderly patients. METHODS From January 2022 to January 2024， clinical data from eligible patients with T2DM complicated with sarcopenia treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical and Pharmaceutical College were collected. Patients were randomly assigned into control group （70 cases） and observation group （70 cases） using a random number table. Both groups received routine interventions； control group additionally received subcutaneous injections of Insulin glargine injection before bedtime and Human insulin injection 30 minutes before breakfast， lunch and dinner every day. In addition to the same treatments as the control group， the observation group was administered 0.5 g of Metformin hydrochloride sustained-release tablets orally once daily. Both groups were treated continuously for 24 weeks. Comparisons were made between the two groups in terms of glucose metabolism indexes [fasting blood glucose （FBG）， 2 h postprandial blood glucose （2 hBG）， and glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c）]， homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance （HOMA-IR）， appendicular skeletal mass muscle index （ASMI）， grip strength， walking speed， lipid metabolism indexes [serum total triglyceride （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）]， serological markers [high-sensitivity C reactive protein （hs-CRP）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and ferritin levels] and quality of life. The occurrence of ADR was recorded in both groups. RESULTS 65 patients in the control group and 63 patients in the observation group completed this study， respectively. After treatment， the levels of FBG， 2 hBG， HbA1c， HOMA-IR，TG and TC in both groups， and the levels of hs-CRP， IL-6 and ferritin in observation group were all significantly reduced compared to those before treatment （P＜0.05）， and the HOMA-IR in observation group was significantly lower than control group （P＜0.05）； additionally， the grip strength， walking speed， and scores for daily living and activity abilities of observation group were increased than those before treatment and the control group （P＜0.05）. The incidence of adverse drug reactions in both groups was 2.86%. CONCLUSIONS Metformin can reduce inflammatory factors and ferritin levels， promote the recovery of muscle mass and strength， improve insulin resistance， and quality of life in elderly patients with T2DM complicated with sarcopenia， and does not increase the occurrence of adverse drug reactions.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the chemical composition of Danshenyin and its blood components in rats after oral administration. MethodsUltra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS） coupled with PeakView 1.2 software was used to systematically characterize and identify the components of Danshenyin aqueous extract and its migratory components in rat blood after oral administration based on the retention time， quasi-molecular ion peaks， secondary fragmentation ions， and literature reports， and a preliminary compounds identification of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma aqueous extract， the co-decoction of Santali Albi Lignum and Amomi Fructus was carried out to attribute the chemical constituents of the aqueous extract of Danshenyin. ResultsA total of 73 compounds， including 21 phenolic acids， 23 diterpenes， 6 flavonoids， 7 organic acids， 3 volatile oils and 13 others， were identified from the aqueous extract of Danshenyin. And 36 prototypes and 15 metabolites were identified in rat plasma， the major metabolic pathways included reduction， hydration， hydroxylation， demethylation， methylation， sulfation and others， these metabolites were mainly derived from tanshinones and salvianolic acids. ConclusionThe main blood components of the aqueous extract of Danshenyin are salvianolic acids and tanshinones， which may be the material basis of the efficacy. This study can provide reference for pharmacological research， quality control， and clinical application of Danshenyin.

[Objective] To evaluate the feasibility of a novel outpatient infusion model for blinatumomab in two acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients, aiming to address challenges of poor treatment tolerance, high healthcare costs, and compromised quality of life, thereby providing clinical insights for broader adoption of this approach. [Methods] Two post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) patients undergoing blinatumomab maintenance therapy were selected to evaluate the efficacy of the outpatient infusion model. Patient selection criteria, nursing protocols, standardized workflows, and advancements in infusion practices were systematically analyzed combined with a review of global developments in this field. [Results] Both patients completed outpatient blinatumomab infusion without severe adverse events, demonstrating preliminary feasibility and safety of this model. The novel approach enhanced treatment convenience, reduced hospitalization costs, and improved quality of life. [Conclusion] Despite the limited sample size, this pilot study highlights the potential of outpatient blinatumomab administration as a viable alternative to traditional inpatient regimens.

Objective: Previous studies have discovered a correlation between cigarette smoking and cortical thickness and surface area, but the causal relationship remains unclear. The objective of this investigation is to scrutinize the causal association between them. Methods: To derive summary statistics from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on cortical thickness, surface area, and four smoking behaviors: 1) age of initiation of regular smoking (AgeSmk); 2) smoking initiation (SmkInit); 3) smoking cessation (SmkCes); 4) cigarettes per day (CigDay). Linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC) was employed to examine genetic association analysis. Furthermore, for traits with significant genetic associations, Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted. Results: The LDSC analysis revealed nominal genetic correlations between AgeSmk and right precentral surface area, left caudal anterior cingulate surface area, left cuneus surface area, left inferior parietal surface area, and right caudal anterior cingulate thickness, as well as between CigDay and left caudal middle frontal surface area, between SmkCes and left entorhinal thickness, and between SmkInit and left rostral anterior cingulate surface area, right rostral anterior cingulate thickness, and right superior frontal thickness (rg=-0.36–0.29, p<0.05). MR analysis showed a unidirectional causal association between left caudal middle frontal surface area and CigDay (βIVW=0.056, pBonferroni=2×10-4). Conclusion Left caudal middle frontal surface area has the potential to serve as a significant predictor of smoking behavior.
