OBJECTIVE To mine the cardiovascular safety signal of relugolix， and provide a reference for the listing of this drug in China and future clinical safety drug evaluation. METHODS The adverse event （AE） report data of relugolix， as the primary or secondary suspected drug， was collected from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System （FAERS） from the first quarter of 2021 to the third quarter of 2023. The reporting odds ratio （ROR） method was used for data mining. The AEs in the FAERS database were identified and coded using preferred terms （PT） stated in version 24.0 of the Medical Dictionary for Drug Regulatory Activities （MedDRA）. The AEs of the target drug were identified by the narrow standardized MedDRA query （SMQ） terms and high-level term （HLT）. Sensitivity analysis was conducted using AEs suspected to be primarily or secondarily related to relugolix or related to drug interaction and concomitant drug， and broad SMQ terms. RESULTS A total of 4 354 relugolix-related AE reports were extracted. In the primary analysis， nine SMQ terms were analyzed， involving 2 positive signals such as dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia/new onset diabetes mellitus. Eleven HLTs were analyzed， and three positive signals were detected for three terms including cholesterol analyses， triglyceride analyses and hyperglycemia conditions （non-alternative analysis）. Sensitivity analysis results indicated the reliability of the study findings. CONCLUSIONS Relugolix may induce risk signals related to high blood lipids and high blood glucose， but no moderate risk signals such as hypertension， heart disease， and stroke are found. During relugolix treatment in clinical practice， attention must be paid to hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia-related AE.

Objective To investigate the effects of berberine on UCP2 expression and the mitochondrial dy-namics in skeletal muscle and kidney in mice with ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) of lower limb.Methods Thirty male Kunming mice were randomly divided into the negative control group,the positive control group,and low,medium and high doses berberine intervention groups.The mice in all experimental groups constructed the ischemia reperfusion injury model of lower limbs by tourniquet,different doses of berberine solution were injected intraperitoneally for intervention,while the ischemia repeating supply group used normal saline for re-placement.The HE staining was used to detect the pathological conditions of skeletal muscle and kidney,PCR and Western blot were used to detect the gene and protein expression levels of UCP2,FIS1,DRP1,Mfn1 and Mfn2,and the changes of SOD,MDA and GSH were detected by kit.Results After IRI intervention in the both lower extremities,the inflammatory cell infiltration occurred in both skeletal muscle and kidney,and the cell structure of skeletal muscle showed the damage changes.Meanwhile,the gene and protein expressions lev-els of UCP2,FIS1 and DRP1 and the levels of GSH and SOD in skeletal muscle were significantly increased (P<0.05),while the gene and protein expression levels of Mfn1 and Mfn2 and the levels of MDA were signif-icantly decreased (P<0.05).The increase of UCP2 and DRP1 gene and protein expression levels in kidney was different (P<0.05).Berberine could up-regulate the UCP2 gene expression in skeletal muscle and the pro-tein expression in skeletal muscle (P<0.05).At the same time,DRP1 gene and protein were significantly inhibited in the kidney tissue (P<0.05),but which in skeletal muscle had no significant change.Conclusion IRI of skeletal muscle of lower extremity in mice leads to severe oxidative stress injury,mitochondrial dynamic imbalance and inflammatory damage of kidney in the injured parts.The therapeutic effect of berberine on skeletal muscle and kidney IRI may be achieved by inhibiting oxidative stress injury,in which its protective effect on kidney may also be related to inhibit the expression of DRP1 after UCP2 up-regulation,thus limit the mitochondrial fission and slow down the development of injury.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and changing trends of primary liver cancer in Yunnan province from 2005 to 2014, in order to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of liver cancer in this region.Methods:A retrospective survey was used to select inpatient cases of liver cancer who were initially diagnosed and treated in our hospital from 2005 to 2014 with simple random sampling. Patients socio-demographic and clinicopathological characteristics were extracted by a unified and standardized questionnaire, and the data were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 1000 cases with liver cancer were included, aged (53.2±11.2) years, with a male-to-female ratio of 5.99/1.00. There was no significant change in the gender and age composition ratio of patients in the past 10 years. The proportion of patients with lower education level (primary or junior high school) were increased from 21.8% to 23.4%, and the proportion of patients with relatively higher education level were decreased from 58% to 38.2% ( P<0.001). Smokers and non-smokers patients were decreased and increased from 58.8% to 44.4%, and 41.2% to 55.6% ( P<0.001). The proportion of drinker patients were decreased from 46.4% to 35.2%. The proportion of patients with advanced liver cancer (stage C and D) were increased, while the proportion of patients with stage A and B showed a downward trend ( P<0.001). The proportion of HBsAg-positive patients showed an upward trend, that is, rising from 69% in 2005 to 82% in 2014 ( P=0.043). The proportion of HBeAg-positive patients showed a steady trend ( P=0.008). The use rate of ultrasound examination in patients with liver cancer were decreased from 91.0% to 58.0% ( P=0.001), while the use rate of computed tomography (CT), MRI, and PET/CT examinations were increased from 81.0% to 84.0% ( P=0.05), 0 to 22% ( P<0.001), and 0 to 3% ( P=0.026) between 2005 to 2014. The proportion of surgical patients were increased ( P=0.005), but the proportion of interventional patients did not change significantly ( P=0.590). Surgery and interventional therapy were the most common treatment methods, and the proportion of patients treated with surgery over the past 10 years showed an upward trend ( P=0.005), while the proportion of interventional therapy remained at a high level with no significant change ( P=0.590). Conclusion:In Yunnan province, the incidence of liver cancer increases with age, and the proportion of male with liver cancer is almost six times that of women. Moreover, the low positive rate of alpha-fetoprotein levels and advanced clinical stage in this region are presently the main challenges against the liver cancer prevention and treatment. The application scope of CT, magnetic resonance imaging, PET-CT and other examination methods has gradually expanded, but the treatment methods are still mainly surgery and interventional therapy.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the most common neoplasmas with a poor prognosis and a low 5-year survival rate. Early screening is an important measure for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer. At present, different countries have issued corresponding lung cancer screening guidelines, but China still lacks guidelines based on Chinese population research. Therefore, the National Cancer Center launched a Multi-center Cancer Screening Program in Urban China. This study analyzed the evaluation of lung cancer risk assessment model and screening effect in urban China of Yunnan, so as to explore the evaluation model of high-risk lung cancer population suitable for China's national conditions and develop lung cancer screening guidelines for Chinese. METHODS: A questionnaire survey and lung cancer risk assessment were conducted on 165,337 people in 36 street offices in 4 main urban areas of Kunming, Yunnan Province, using cluster sampling method from January 2015 to December 2019. People with high-risk of lung cancer conducted low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening of chest. What's more, all participants were followed up by active or passive follow-up. RESULTS: There were 264 patients were diagnosed lung cancer by pathology, and the overall incidence of lung cancer was 0.16% (264/165,337). The high-risk group (0.31%, 116/37,914) was higher than the non-high-risk group (0.12%, 148/127,423), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). The incidence of lung cancer in the high-risk group was higher than the non-high-risk group among the male, female, and lower 50-year-old or more than 50-year-old subgroups, with statistical differences (P<0.001), but there was no statistical difference in the group without LDCT screening (P=0.73). The sensitivity of the lung cancer high-risk population assessment model was 43.94% (116/264) and the specificity was 77.10% (127,275/165,073). The early diagnosis rate of the screening group was 72.97% (54/74), which was significantly higher than that of the non-screening group [28.48% (43/151)]. CONCLUSIONS The lung cancer high-risk population assessment model of National Key Public Health Program: Cancer Screening Program in Urban China can detect high-risk populations and improve the early diagnosis rate of lung cancer effectively.

Objective To determine clinical features and rupture risk of anterior communicating artery (AComA) aneurysms in different age groups. Methods The clinical data of 519 consecutive patients with AComA aneurysms in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between December 2007 and February 2015 were reviewed and divided into younger group (<65 years) and older group (≥65 years). The clinical characteristics and aneurysm morphologies were compared between the two groups. Results There were 390 aneurysms in younger group, and 129 in older groups. For the younger group, hypertension,the size of the aneurysms, maximum height, perpendicular height, size ratio (SR), aspect ratio (AR), aneurysm angle, A1 segment configuration, morphology showed significantly differences in ruptured aneurysms group compared with those in unruptured aneurysms (P<0.05). The multivariate analysis showed that significant difference between the two groups was aneurysm size ( OR＝1.461,95% CI 1.027-2.079, P＝0.035). For the older group, there were statistically significant differences in hypertension,size of the aneurysms, maximum height, perpendicular height, SR, aneurysm angle, vessel size and the distribution of aneurysm projection between the ruptured aneurysms group and unruptured aneurysms group (P<0.05). The multivariate analysis showed that SR ( OR＝11.516,95% CI 1.782-74.445,P＝0.01) was the only significant predictor of aneurysm rupture. Between the younger and older groups,the distributions of sex, hypertension, smoke, vessel size and SR were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions For younger people, the males who smoked are more likely to have AcomA aneurysms and the size of the aneurysms is independent risk of aneurysm rupture. For older people, the females with hypertension also more often have AcomA aneurysms and the SR is independently associated with aneurysm rupture.
