    Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex, which acts on receptors in the distal and collecting tubules of the nephron, causing reabsorption of sodium and secretion of potassium. Aldosterone can promote inflammatory response and lead to myocardial remodeling and fibrosis. Aldosterone acts through mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), which is mainly expressed in heart, kidney and blood vessels. Excessive activation of MR can cause endothelial dysfunction, fibrinolysis disorder, oxidative stress, cardiovascular and renal fibrosis, and eventually lead to organ injury, dysfunction and even organ failure. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) can achieve cardiorenal protection by inhibiting inflammation and fibrosis caused by MR activation. The novel nonsteroidal MRA fenneridone can effectively block MR with its high selectivity and bring definite cardiac and renal protective effects.

    IPF is a chronic progressive interstitial lung disease of unknown etiology and poor prognosis, and despite receive treatment, most patients consideration are likely to progress or worsen. Integrins are heterodimer cell surface proteins that are promising therapeutic targets for intervention in pulmonary fibrosis. Alphav integrins are central to the development of fibrosis because they activate latent TGF-β, a known pro-fibrosis cytokine. The alphav subunit may form heterodimers with the β1, β3, β5, β6, or β8 subunits, one or more of which are essential for the development of pulmonary fibrosis, but their relative importance is unclear. This review summarizes the knowledge of the association of pulmonary fibrosis with alpha-val-integrins, as well as emerging preclinical studies and clinical trials of alpha-fibrosis inhibitors.

    Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and ultimately fatal chronic interstitial lung disease characterized by a progressive decline in lung function, and current treatment options are limited. cAMP is one of the most important second messengers and plays a key role in relaxing airway smooth muscle cells and reducing inflammation. Phosphodiesterase (PDE) is a superfamily of enzymes, and PDE4 enzymes dominate 11 PDE super-family enzymes, available in four isoforms-PDE4A, PDE4B, PDE4C and PDE4D, which selectively decompose cAMP, while PDE4 inhibitors increase cAMP levels by preventing cAMP from breaking down, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory, anti-remodeling effects and providing an attractive drug target for the treatment of IPF. This review summarizes knowledge about the association of pulmonary fibrosis with PKE4, as well as emerging preclin-ical studies and clinical trials regarding PDE4 inhibitors.

    Metabolic syndrome, characterized by centralobesity, hypertension, bycentralobesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, increases the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and other metabolic diseases. It is well known that insulin resistance, especially hepatic insulin resistance, is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome. Current research has shown that the accumulation of hepatic fatty acid can cause hepatic insulin resistance through increased gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress, and impaired insulin signal pathway. Mitochondria are the major sites of fatty acid β-oxidation, which is the major degradation mechanism of fatty acids. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been shown to be involved in the development of hepatic fatty acid-induced hepatic insulin resistance. Mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy), a catabolic process, selectively degrades damaged mitochondria to reverse mitochondrial dysfunction and preserve mitochondrial dynamics and function. Therefore, mitophagy can promote mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation to inhibit hepatic fatty acid accumulation and improve hepatic insulin resistance. Here, we review advances in our understanding of the relationship between mitophagy and hepatic insulin resistance. Additionally, we also highlight the potential value of mitophagy in the treatment of hepatic insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

    Hypertension is a serious disease that endangers human health. Although the clinical efficiency of anti-hypertensive drugs have achieved good results, there are still many different types of resistant hypertension such as drug tolerance, and the incidence of complications of hypertension such as heart failure and stroke is still high. Therefore, the development and application of non-pharmacological treatment strategies have become an important aspect of the treatment of hypertension. The sympathetic nervous system plays a key role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. At present, most non-pharmacological treatment technologies for the prevention and treatment of hypertension mainly target the sympathetic nerve function. These technologies mainly include deep brain stimulation and renal denervation. Central iliac arteriovenous anastomosis, baroreflex activation therapy, endovascular baroreflex amplification, carotid body ablation, etc. This review focuses on the application status and related advantages and disadvantages of the above-mentioned non-pharmacological treatment methods based on the sympathetic nervous system, and provides new ideas and multiple options for treatment of hypertension.

    Antidepressants are mainly used to treat mental illnesses. Traditional antidepressants mainly target monoamine neurotransmitters, but these drugs are slow to be effective and cannot meet clinical needs. Recently, therapeutics have been developed that depart from the traditional monoamine hypothesis and focus on the glutamatergic, GABAergic, opioidergic, and inflammatory systems. In recent years, great progress has been made in the development of new antidepressants, some of which have been applied in clinical practice. This article mainly summarizes the research mechanisms and treatment programs of new antidepressants, and briefly reviews common rapid-acting antidepressants.

    AIM: To provide reference for the clinical application of tigecycline and subsequent population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamics study in the future. METHODS: The Chinese and English keywords of "Tigecycline", "population pharmacokinetics", "population pharmacokinetic model", "pharmacodynamics" or "Tigecycline" pharmacokinetics "were used to search the relevant references published from the time of self-establishment to June 1, 2021 in PubMed, China Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang and other databases. The research progress of population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of tigecycline was reviewed. RESULTS & CONCLUSION: A total of 73 relevant references were retrieved, including 8 tigecycline PPK studies and 7 tigecycline PK/PD studies. At present, tigecycline PPK models had been established in patients with complex intra-abdominal infections, skin and skin and soft tissue infections, community-acquired pneumonia, nosocomial pneumonia, septic shock and other severe infections, including 8 two-compartment models. The main covariates affecting tigecycline plasma clearance were weight-related, liver function and renal function-related parameters. Body weight was also an important factor influencing the apparent volume of distribution. The effect of different disease types on the pharmacokinetics of tigecycline was different, and it needed to be considered and selected in combination with the specific circumstances of patients when formulating clinical dosing regimens. Pharmacodynamics studies should consider not only the type of disease, pathogens and patient factors themselves, but also the characteristics of atypical nonlinear plasma protein binding of tigecycline. In order to accurately understand the efficacy of different dose regimens, it was necessary to monitor the therapeutic drugs of tigecycline.

    AIM: To evaluate the effect of TDF withdrawal time on changes of serum HBV-M, HBV DNA and ALT level in the mother-to-child blocking of the maternal population. METHODS: A prospective, randomized and controlled study was conducted. The 120 pregnant women with HBV who took TDF during 24 to 28 weeks of gestation were randomly divided into group A (withdrawal at delivery) and group B (withdrawal at 4 weeks postpartum), levels of HBV-M,HBV DNA, and ALT at different times were detected. The results were statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon Rank-sum test and χ2 test. RESULTS: In total, 106 pregnant women have completed testing and follow-up, including 56 in group A and 50 in group B. The levels of HBsAg showed no significant difference in both groups and between the two groups (P>0.05). The levels of HBeAg (M=2.920Log10S/CO) and HBV DNA (M=1.477Log10copies/mL) of group B at withdrawal were significantly lower than group A (M=3.045Log10S/CO, M=2.647Log10 copies/mL). The difference were statistically significant (Z=3.126, P=0.002; Z=-2.940, P<0.001). The HBeAg serological conversional rate of group B was 22.00%(11/50), which was higher than group A [8.93% (5/56)], but it was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The ALT abnormal incidence rate after withdrawal (41.07% in group A and 40.00% in group B) were significantly higher than during pregnancy (19.64% in group A, 16.00% in group B). The difference were statistically significant (group A: χ2=6.081, P=0.014; group B: χ2=7.143, P=0.008); The result of group A and group B compared each was no statistics significant (χ2=0.238, P=0.625). About women with abnormal ALT during pregnancy, the abnormal incidence rate of ALT in group A after withdrawal (100%) was significantly higher than in group B (62.50%) , and the difference was statistically significant (Z=0.696, P=0.048). CONCLUSION: The levels of HBsAg, HBeAg, HBV DNA and ALT have no difference between group A (withdrawal at delivery) and group B(withdrawal at 4 weeks after delivery). About women with abnormal ALT during pregnancy, people in group A show more incurrence than group B after drug withdrawal. Pregnant women with abnormal ALT during pregnancy should enhance postpartum monitoring and delay the drug time when necessary.

    The development of artificial intelligence is becoming more and more mature, and has penetrated into every field of clinical trials. Artificial intelligence has brought new development opportunities for clinical trials. However, the application of artificial intelligence in clinical trials is still in the exploratory stage, facing many ethical issues, including trial risk caused by data quality, privacy protection caused by data regulation, and contradiction between data authorization and informed consent. We should precisely position the realizable application of artificial intelligence in clinical trials, understand its practical ethical issues, and formulate corresponding coping strategies to ensure the maximum improvement of the whole process performance of clinical trials, including strengthening data quality management and reducing clinical trial risks; optimizing data monitoring mechanisms to ensure data security and privacy; building a data authorization platform and improving judicial protection of informed consent, etc.

    Heart failure is the terminal stage of all kinds of heart diseases. Despite the use of a variety of traditional drug standard treatment, the prognosis is still not ideal, and there is an urgent need for the update and improvement of new drugs and treatment methods. In recent years, angiotensin receptor-enkephalase inhibitors (Sacubitril/Valsartan), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i), soluble guanoside cyclase agonists (Vericiguat) and myocardial myosin activators omecamtiv mecarbil have been developed successively. SGLT2 inhibitors can improve ventricular load, reduce fibrosis and affect myocardial metabolism. sGC agonists play an anti-heart failure role by enhancing l-ARg-No-SGC-CGMP signaling pathway, improving myocardial and vascular function, reversing ventricular hypertrophy and fibrosis, slowing ventricular remodeling, and reducing ventricular afterload through systemic and pulmonary vasodilation. In addition, fineridone, a novel salt corticosteroid receptor antagonist, has also been reported in clinical studies in the field of heart failure. Therefore, it is the direction and hope for the development of heart failure in the future to select appropriate drugs for different types of patients with heart failure and carry out individualized treatment according to the optimized process of heart failure.

    COVID-19 pandemic has put a huge burden on public health and global economy. Vaccines play an important role in controlling virus transmission and reducing mortality. While monoclonal virus neutralizing antibodies can reduce the viral load, improve symptoms, and prevent the aggravation of the disease from hospitalization. Now hundreds of clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccine and monoclonal neutralizing antibody are in progress. The vaccine focuses on disease prevention, while the neutralizing antibody focuses on disease treatment. There are quite many differences between the two kinds of clinical trials by following different technical guidelines, research purpose, trial design, implementation and outcome assessment. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize the similarities and differences between the clinical trials for the reference of new drug research and development as well as clinical researchers.

    AIM: To study the inhibitory and scavenging effects of ambroxol combined with levofloxacin on the bacterial biofilm of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and to provide a new strategy to treat and antagonize the formation of the biofilm. METHODS: We collected Klebsiella pneumoniae of different resistance and divided them into sensitive group (wild bacteria group), ESBLs group and CRKP group with 15 strains in each group and performed biological semi-quantitative detection of its biofilm by crystalline violet staining method. After selecting 3 strains with similar membrane yields from each group, we determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ambroxol and levofloxacin against Klebsiella pneumoniae by micro broth dilution method.In addition, we determined the effects of ambroxol in different concentrations on the MIC of levfloxacin by the micrdilution checkerboard techniques and calculated the partial inhibitory concentration index (FIC) to determine the joint effect and select the best synergistic concentration. Finally, the effects of ambroxol and levofloxacin in different concentrations on the inhibition formation test and removal test of Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm were observed by crystal violet method combined with confocal laser scanning microscopy. RESULTS: We found that all three groups of bacterial biofilms became mature on the 5th day, and the sensitive group was easier to form and produce biofilm more than the ESBLs and CRKP groups (F=3.725, P=0.032). It was showed that the geometric average of levofloxacin MIC value in the three groups decreased significantly. And the selected strains all showed a synergistic effect on the two-drug combination.In the biofilm test, as the concentration of ambroxol increased, its inhibition rate reached more than 75%, but its biofilm removal rate did not reach 70%. CONCLUSION: Our study support that ambroxol combined with levofloxacin can inhibit the bacterial biofilm of Klebsiella pneumoniae early, and its optimal synergistic concentration is 0.49 mg/mL (ambroxol) + 4 μg/mL (levofloxacin).
