OBJECTIVE To analyze the occurrence characteristics and risk factors of adverse drug reactions (ADR) of gemcitabine for injection in national centralized volume-based procurement (hereinafter referred to as “centralized procurement”), and provide reference for clinical safe drug use. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted to collect the relevant case reports of gemcitabine for injection reported to the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from January 2022 to December 2023; basic information of patients, drug use status, patient outcomes, rational drug use and other information were collected, and the occurrence characteristics of ADRs with leukopenia, myelosuppression, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and liver dysfunction were analyzed. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation of gender, age, combination of antitumor drugs, original malignant tumor and drug dose with ADR. RESULTS A total of 315 cases reports (315 patients) of gemcitabine-induced ADR were included in this study, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.42∶1 and age of (61.17±9.13) years. The primary malignant tumor was pancreatic cancer (73 cases, 23.17%). Leukopenia, myelosuppression and nausea were the most common ADR, followed by neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, liver dysfunction and so on. The severity grade of ADR was mainly 1-2, and the outcome of most ADR was good. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that combination of antitumor drugs was a risk factor for myelosuppression and neutropenia (RR=2.154, 95%CI: 1.218- 3.807, P=0.008; RR=3.099, 95%CI: 1.240-7.744, P=0.016); gender (female) was a risk factor for leukopenia and liver dysfunction (RR=0.508, 95%CI: 0.302-0.853, P=0.010; RR=0.301, 95%CI: 0.102-0.887, P=0.029). In terms of drug use rationality, there were 143 cases (45.40%) of drug 126.com use in accordance with the indications of the label, and 172 cases (54.60%) of off-label drug use. Among them, the primary malignant tumors were bladder cancer, bile duct cancer and ovarian cancer, which ranked the top three off-label drug use. CONCLUSIONS The ADR caused by gemcitabine in Inner Mongolia is mainly in the blood and digestive systems. The severity of ADRs is mainly classified as 1-2 levels, and most ADRs have good outcomes. Gender (female) and combination medication are risk factors for gemcitabine-induced ADR. Appropriate chemotherapy regimen should be selected according to the patient’s condition and physical condition, and ADR monitoring in blood and digestive systems should be strengthened during medication of gemcitabine.

Objective To explore the dietary nutrition status and nutritional intervention strategy of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods Among the 1 332 patients with AD diagnosed at Xijing Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were enrolled as the study subjects. The dietary intake data of patients were collected through questionnaire surveys and dietary reviews. During the study period, 30 patients did not complete the intervention due to withdrawal or loss of follow-up. Based on the actual number of people who completed the intervention, AD patients were randomly divided into intervention group (n=651, individualized nutritional intervention strategy) and control group (n=651, routine nutritional intervention), and both groups were intervened for 3 months. The cognitive function (MMSE score and MoCA score), nutritional status (MNA scale, NRS-2002 scale), and quality of life (GQOL-74) of the two groups of AD patients were compared to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention strategies. Results A total of 1 332 questionnaires were distributed, and 1 302 valid questionnaires were finally recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.75% (1 302/1 332). The survey results showed that there were no statistical differences in baseline characteristics and dietary nutrition status between the two groups of AD patients before intervention (P>0.05). After nutritional intervention, the cognitive function, quality of life, and nutritional status of patients in the intervention group were significantly improved. The MMSE score, MoCA score, MNA score, and GQOL-74 score of the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group, while the NRS-2002 score was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Nutritional intervention strategy has a significant effect on improving nutritional status, cognitive function, and quality of life of AD patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of gynecological and breast diseases among retired or economically disadvantaged women in part of Pudong New Area of Shanghai under the policy support of screening gynecological diseases and breast diseases for retired and women with economic difficulties in life in Shanghai, to analyze the characteristics of these diseases, so as to provide a scientific basis for the improvement of relevant prevention and treatment strategies. MethodsBased on the gynecological census data of 13 031 cases in five towns, including Xinchang Town, Xuanqiao Town, Laogang Town, Wanxiang Town and Shuyuan Town, conducted by Shanghai Pudong Hospital in 2023, descriptive analysis methods were used to explore the prevalence and age characteristics of common gynecological and breast diseases. ResultsThe total detection rate of gynecological and breast diseases among women in the screening area in this study was 68.29%, with uterine fibroid (22.35%), sarcoidosis of the breast (17.06%), cervicitis (15.37%), vaginitis (8.39%) and ovarian cyst (2.61%) ranking the top 5 in the detection rate among the screening population. The differences of the detection rates in the four major diseases [uterine fibroid (χ2=233.217, P<0.001), breast nodules(χ2=169.896, P<0.001), cervicitis (χ2=388.683, P<0.001), and ovarian cysts (χ2=72.298, P<0.001)] by different age groups were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Moreover, the results of pairwise comparison of different age groups showed that the detection rates in the age group under 45 years old and 45‒55 years old were higher than that in the age group of 55‒65 years old and over 65 years old. ConclusionThe detection rate of gynecological and breast diseases in the younger age group was higher, indicating a certain trend of younger onset of diseases. Uterine fibroid, sarcoidosis of the breast , and reproductive tract diseases such as cervicitis, vaginitis, and ovarian cyst are the main diseases affecting the research subjects. Therefore, medical institutions can combine routine work in screening diseases and carry out corresponding health education and health promotion activities for these key diseases to improve women’s health.

Objective:To prepare rabbit polyclonal antibodies against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) N protein and use them as the detection antibodies to establish a N-ELISA-based method for rapid detection of neutralizing antibodies.Methods:A plasmid of pET30a-N for the expression of RSV N protein was constructed. After purification, the protein was immunized into New Zealand rabbits to prepare polyclonal antibodies, which were used as the detection antibodies. Positive serum samples were diluted and used to neutralize RSV (100 TCID 50/well). Hep-2 cells were inoculated and cultured, and then the cells were fixed with 80% acetone. ELISA was performed to detect RSV N protein in infected cells. When the absorbance value of a well was below the cut-off value, it was regarded as the positive well in the neutralization test. The highest dilution of a positive well serum was the neutralizing antibody titer. After optimizting the antibody dilution, detection time, cell density and the duration of neutralization, the method for neutralizing antibody detection was established based on N-ELISA. The established method was verified by analyzing the influences of different cell generations and edge effects, and calculating the accuracy, repeatability and precision. The correlation between the established method and microneutralization method was analyzed by detecting human RSV IgG-positive serum. Results:The plasmid pET30a-N was successfully constructed, and the expressed N protein showed high purity and good specificity. After the third immunization, the antibody titer in rabbit serum was 1∶51 200, and the antibodies could specifically bind to RSV. The prepared rabbit anti-RSV N polyclonal antibodies had a titer of 1∶51 200, and showed good specificity. The neutralizing antibodies could be detected on day 4 with the established method, and the duration of neutralization was shortened to 30 min. Cell generations and the position of wells in the 96-well plate (edge well and non-edge well) had no significant effect on the method, and the repeatability, precision and accuracy of the method were good. In the detection of 64 RSV IgG-positive human serum samples by the established method and microneutralization method, the correlation coefficient was 0.929 6, indicating a good positive correlation between the two methods.Conclusions:A N-ELISA-based method for rapid neutralizing antibody detection is successfully established, which can be used to evaluate the serum antibody level after RSV vaccination.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of astragaloside-Ⅳ (AS-Ⅳ) in regulating pyroptosis to alleviate intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) by combining network pharmacology and in vivo experiments. MethodFirstly, the corresponding target genes of AS-Ⅳ were obtained from TraditionalChineseMedicineSystemsPharmacology(TCMSP) database and Swiss Target Prediction database, and the target genes related to intestinal IRI and Pyroptosis were obtained from GeneCards database, and the common target genes of the three were obtained by drawing Venn diagrams through unspiralized website. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed by STRING database and Cytoscape software to screen common target genes and imported into Cytoscape software to obtain core target genes. Microbiotics platform was used for gene ontology(GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) enrichment analysis and prediction of the mechanism of action of AS-Ⅳ in regulating Pyroptosis to alleviate intestinal IRI. Then C57/BL6J mice were randomly divided into 5 groups normal group, model group(IR), drug administration group (IR+AS-Ⅳ), nucleotide-binding oligomerization structural domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) agonist NSS group (IR+AS-Ⅳ+NSS), and NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group (IR+AS-Ⅳ+MCC950) by using a randomized numerical table method. The intestinal IRI model was established by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 45 min and resuming perfusion for 2 h in the model group, the drug administration group, the NLRP3 agonist NSS group, and the NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group, and the normal group was only separated from the vessels without clamping. The administration group, the NLRP3 agonist NSS group, and the NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group were gavaged with astragaloside dissolved in 0.1% dimethylsulfoxide (50 mg·kg-1) for 3 consecutive days before modeling, with the last gavage 2 h before modeling, and the remaining two groups were gavaged with equal amounts of saline. The NLRP3 agonist NSS group was injected intraperitoneally with 4 mg·kg-1 of NSS 1 h before modeling, and the NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group was injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg·kg-1 of MCC950 1 h before modeling.The mice were put to death by reperfusion for 2 h, and intestinal tissues were obtained. The levels of IL-18 and IL-1β were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and the protein expression of thioredoxin-binding protein (TXNIP), NLRP3, Caspase-1 and pyrocatechin D (GSDMD) were detected by Western blot, and the pathological changes of intestinal tissues were evaluated by Chiu's score. ResultNetwork pharmacological analysis showed that there were 1599 targets of intestinal IRI, 199 targets of AS-Ⅳ action, 197 targets of pyroptosis, and 20 targets common to all three. There were 10 core targets, including NLRP3, TXNIP, silencing information regulator 1 (SIRT1), high mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1), interleukin-18 (IL-18), GSDMD, and metallo matrix protease-9 (MMP-9),et al. The results of in vivo experiments showed that compared with the normal group, Chiu's score was elevated in the model group, the levels of IL-18,IL-1β inflammatory factors in mouse intestinal tissues were elevated (P<0.05), and the protein expression levels of TXNIP, NLRP3, Caspase-1, and GSDMD were elevated (P<0.05). Compared with the model group,Chiu's score was decreased in the administered group and NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group,the level of IL-18,IL-1β inflammatory factors in the intestinal tissue of mice was decreased(P<0.05), and the level of TXNIP,NLRP3,Caspase-1,GSDMD protein expression was decreased(P<0.05). Compared with the administered group, Chiu's score was elevated in the NLRP3 agonist NSS group, the levels of IL-18, IL-1β inflammatory factors in mouse intestinal tissues were elevated (P<0.05), and the protein expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, and GSDMD were elevated (P<0.05). Compared with the NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group, the NLRP3 agonist NSS group had elevated Chiu's scores, elevated levels of IL-18,IL-1β inflammatory factors in mouse intestinal tissues (P<0.05), and elevated levels of TXNIP,NLRP3, Caspase-1, and GSDMD protein expression (P<0.05). ConclusionNetwork pharmacological predictions were consistent with the results of in vivo experiments, and astragaloside attenuated intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting cellular pyroptosis through the TXNIP-NLRP3 signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the use of children’s drugs in public medical institutions in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and provide some reference for the rational use of children’s drugs and the improvement of children’s drug list in the whole region. METHODS The generic names, specifications, and dosage forms of children’s drugs were collected from all levels of public medical institutions in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in 2023. The method of defined daily dose (DDD) and ranking ratio (B/A) were used to explore the frequency of drug use, daily average cost and cost-effectiveness of children’s drugs in this region, and the dosage forms, category, and drug use convergence of children’s drugs in medical institutions in the whole region. RESULTS In 2023, 1 751 public medical and health institutions in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were equipped with 267 kinds of children’s drugs, including 12 drug categories. The main dosage forms were granules, oral solutions, and syrups. The drugs that were frequently used in medical institutions at all levels were mainly antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory drugs (mostly Chinese patent medicines), and respiratory drugs. The daily average cost of children’s drugs with the highest DDDs in tertiary, secondary, and primary public medical institutions was low, and the B/A value of most drugs with higher DDDs was around 1. However, the B/A value of some drugs was high, which may lead to overuse. The drug use convergence between primary public medical institutions and secondary/tertiary public medical institutions was less than 50%. CONCLUSIONS The types of drugs involved in children’s drugs in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region are comprehensive and the social and economic benefits are in good synchronization, but the dosage form is single and there are few special rules and dosage forms for children. The proportions of Chinese patent medicines in primary and secondary public medical institutions are high, and the risk of drug use should be paid attention. The cohesion between children’s drugs in primary public medical institutions and higher public medical institutions is slightly poor.
