    Rivaroxaban, a novel oral anticoagulant drug, is widely prescribed in clinical practice. Rivaroxaban offers predictable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, a lowprobability of drug-drug and food-drug interactions. Compared with warfarin, rivaroxaban does not require continuous therapeutic monitoring and can be administered in fixed doses.However,in certain emergency clinical situations, such as bleeding, acute stroke, acute kidney injury, prior to urgent surgery and in the suspected accumulation of durg, plasma concentration monitoring of rivaroxaban is necessary and important for patients. Existing studies proved that there were significant individual variability and wide range in the plasma rivaroxaban concentration, which increased the risk of clinical use. Therefore, Data in the degree of rivaroxaban concentration may provide recommendations for the clinical application to promote medication safety and individuality in the future. This article collected the latest literatures and case reports related to research progress of rivaroxaban plasma concentration monitoring, and Summarized influencing factors, monitoring methods, so as to provide a basis for further study on rational use of rivaroxaban in clinical.

    Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, irreversible and typical chronic fibrotic lung disease. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis and treatment of IPF. However, to date, there is still no cure for IPF. The second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) inhibits fibroblast proliferation or differentiation into myofibroblasts during the development of IPF. Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) is a major camp-degrading enzyme in lung fibroblasts, which is up-regulated during the progression of fibrosis. PDE4 inhibitors have anti-fibrosis effects in vivo and in vitro in IPF models. In addition, PDE4 is widely involved in inflammatory processes, which are also active in the pathogenesis of IPF. Thus, PDE4 inhibition is a potential therapeutic approach for IPF. This article reviews the pathogenesis of IPF and the physiological function of PDE subtype 4 inhibitors in the treatment of IPF.

    Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is one of the most common gynecologic tumors, and its incidence and mortality are increasing.The prognosis is usually favorable when the disease is diagnosed at an early stage. However, the prognosis for patients with recurrence and metastasis is relatively poor. As one of the risk factors for EC, the complex and widespread oncogenic role of obesity in EC has been validated, then the oncogenic and pro-carcinogenic mechanisms of adipocytokines secreted by adipose tissue in EC have attracted continuous attention. This review highly summarizes and concludes the previous relevant literature on the role of adipocytokines in endometrial cancer and the progress of research, and elucidates the correlation between adipocytokines and the occurrence risk, stage grading, and long-term prognosis of EC, as well as their signaling pathways and mechanisms of action in the development of EC. All this information will likely contribute to the development of novel molecular markers in EC, the discovery of new therapeutic targets, and the study of related targeted drugs, which may in turn break the current dilemma of early screening, early diagnosis, and treatment of recurrent and metastatic patients in EC in the future, resulting in an improvement of the long-term prognosis of patients with EC.

    Cholestatic liver disease is a common disease that causes bile flow dysfunction due to various reasons. The etiology of cholestatic liver disease is complexed, and therapeutic drugs are extremely limited. To date, ursodeoxycholic acid is the only FDA-approved drug for treating primary biliary cirrhosis, whereas its efficacy is limited to early stage of the disease, therefore novel drugs are urgently needed. Nuclear receptors become therapeutic hotspot target in cholestasis since these receptors play a key role in regulating bile acid homeostasis. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) is an important nuclear receptor involved in regulating multiple mechanisms of cholestasis in vivo. It can improve intrahepatic cholestasis by inhibiting bile acid synthesis, reducing bile acid toxicity, affecting the expression of bile acid metabolic enzymes and transporters, and can play an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation and anti-fibrosis role. A number of studies have shown that PPAR agonists represented by fibrates alone or in combination can improve liver function indexes, inflammatory factors and fibrosis markers in patients with cholestasis. This review analyzes and summarizes the lastest advances in the molecular mechanism of PPAR as a therapeutic target for cholestasis and drug treatment in development or have been used in clinical.

    AIM: To investigate the regulatory mechanism of Angelica polysaccharide on hepatic endoplasmic reticulum stress in diabetic KK-Ay mice. MEHTODS: Forty diabetic KK-Ay mice were randomly divided into model group, metformin group, and angelica polysaccharide high, medium, and low dose groups, with 8 mice in each group. 8 C57BL/6J mice were used as blank control group. The mice were gavaged with 400 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg of angelica polysaccharide in the high, medium and low dose groups, respectively, and 200 mg/kg of metformin hydrochloride in the metformin group, while the normal and model groups were gavaged with equal volume of saline, and fasting blood glucose and body weight were measured weekly. After 4 weeks of gavage, triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were measured in mice serum; RT-PCR was performed to observe the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), phosphorylated pancreatic endoplasmic reticulum kinase (p-PERK) and phosphorylated α-subunit eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (p-Eif2α) in liver tissues. mRNA expression; Western blot, immunohistochemistry to detect the protein expression of GRP78, p-PERK, p-Eif2α in mouse liver tissues. HE staining: to observe the histopathological changes in the liver. RESULT: Compared with the blank group, the levels of TC, TG and LDL-C were significantly increased (P<0.01) and the levels of HDL-C were significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the model group; compared with the model group, the levels of TC, TG and LDL-C were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01) and the levels of HDL-C were significantly increased in the metformin group, angelica polysaccharide high and medium dose groups. Compared with the blank group, the expression of GRP78, p-PERK and p-Eif2α in the model group was significantly upregulated (P<0.01), and the expression of GRP78, p-PERK and p-Eif2α in the angelica polysaccharide high, medium and low dose groups was significantly downregulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the high dose group had the best effect compared with the model group. Compared with the model group, the mice in the angelica polysaccharide group showed dense liver tissue, reduced vacuole-like degeneration, reduced liver steatosis, gradually aligned hepatocytes, and clear hepatic sinusoidal structure, and the effect was dose-dependent. CONCLUSION: Angelica polysaccharide significantly improved liver injury in diabetic KK-Ay mice, and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins and factors GRP78, p-PERK and p-Eif2α expression by Angelica polysaccharide and improvement of endoplasmic reticulum stress.

    AIM: To investigate the relationship between vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) injury, organelle stress response and autophagic cell death (autophagy) and ferroptosis induced by the chemical hypoxia inducer cobalt chloride (CoCl2) through the bioinformatics analysis and in vitro cell experimentation. METHODS: The dataset GSE119226 of VSMC treated with cobalt chloride was acquired from the gene expression database (GEO). The R language was used to investigate the relationship between CoCl2 treatment and organelle stress response (Golgi stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress) and two forms of cell death (ferroptosis and autophagic cell death). With primary cultured rat VSMC (rVSMC) and CoCl2-induced anoxia model, the changes in cell viability were detected by CCK-8 method, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured using DCFH-DA method. The expression levels of HIF-1α (a key molecule in hypoxia), Golgi stress markers GM130 and p115, endoplasmic reticulum stress markers GRP78 and CHOP, autophagy markers LC3-II/LC3-I and Beclin1, and ferroptosis markers GPx4 and xCT were detected by Western blot. The effect of inducing or inhibiting organelle stress and cell death on the CoCl2-induced cell damage was also observed. RESULTS: Differentially expressed genes analysis of GSE119226 dataset showed that CoCl2 treatment of VSMCs had significant effects on organelle function and stress response, autophagy and ferroptosis-related genes, in which endoplasmic reticulum stress, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, regulation of Golgi to plasma membrane protein transport, autophagy/autophagic cell death, and ferroptosis pathways were remarkably enriched. The results of in vitro experiment showed that compared with normal rVSMC, cell viability was significantly decreased after CoCl2 treatment, as well as HIF-1α protein expression and ROS levels in rVSMCs were increased. In rVSMC treated with CoCl2, the expression levels of Golgi structural proteins GM130 and p115 (reflecting the occurrence of Golgi stress) were decreased, while the markers GRP78 and CHOP (reflecting the occurrence of endoplasmic reticulum stress) were increased. At the same time, CoCl2 treatment also reduced the expression of autophagy markers LC3-II/LC3-I and Beclin1 (indicating the decrease levels of autophagy), while the expression of ferroptosis markers GPx4 and xCT were decreased (indicating the occurrence of ferroptosis). Compared with CoCl2 treatment group, induced Golgi stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, or ferroptosis could further reduce cell viability, while inhibition of these processes could improve cell viability. On the other hand, increasing the level of autophagy can improve the cell viability. CONCLUSION: Hypoxia induced by cobalt chloride can lead to VSMC injury. Golgi stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, ferroptosis, and the reduction of autophagy level play an important role in it. Inhibition of organelle stress response and ferroptosis, or increase of autophagy level can improve VSMC injury caused by cobalt chloride.

    Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common multi-drug resistant bacteria in clinical practice and is known as a "superbug". With the evolution of MRSA resistance mechanisms, it is increasingly difficult to treat MRSA infections with conventional antibiotics. In recent years, novel control strategies for MRSA infections have been developed at various levels. The unique structure of nanomaterials has antimicrobial activity and can also be used as an efficient transport carrier. Photodynamic therapy promotes cellular oxidative stress by light-activated photosensitizer (PS) interacting with molecular oxygen or substrates to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). The antimicrobial properties of herbal medicines by multiple mechanisms have been widely demonstrated. Immunotherapy has made breakthroughs in the use of immune escape mechanisms, polyvalent vaccines, and mixed antibodies against MRSA. Gene targets represented by the mecA gene are being explored. Novel candidate antibacterial compounds targeting TDRS, especially the Trx system, will be a promising force in the future. In this paper, novel control strategies for MRSA are reviewed and prospected.

    Breast cancers that are positive for hormone receptor but negative for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (abbreviated as HR+/HER2-) account for approximately 60% of total cases. Targeting estrogen signaling is one of the most important therapeutic strategies for HR+/HER2- breast cancer. However, the management of endocrine-resistant HR+/HER2- breast cancer remains a difficult issue in clinical practice. Previous multi-omic analysis and translational research have identified the mechanisms underlying endocrine-resistance including genomic alteration and abnormal epigenetic modification. To overcome endocrine-resistance, we have established a comprehensive and coherent therapeutic strategy.  In addition, several novel therapies have shown promising efficacy in previous clinical trials and will emerge as alternative options for targeting endocrine-resistant HR+/HER2- breast cancer. In this review, we will introduce the mechanisms of endocrine-resistance, explain the current therapeutic strategy for endocrine-resistant HR+/HER2- breast cancer and discuss the possible targeted therapies in the future.

    Breast cancer was the most commonly diagnosed cancer, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases (11.7%), followed by lung (11.4%) in 2020. Breast cancer ranks first among malignant tumors in the world, seriously threatening women's health. Due to continuously enrichment of treatment methods for breast cancer, patients' prognosis have been greatly improved. The emergence of vaccines is an important treatment method to promote the development of human health. For cancer therapy, preventive vaccines have been popularized for kinds of tumor with specific incentives, such as cervical cancer caused by HPV infection. At present, the causative factors of breast cancer are still unclear, and it is still difficult to develop preventive vaccines against breast cancer. In recent years, a variety of therapeutic vaccines have emerged in the field of breast cancer treatment. When patient completed comprehensive treatment, vaccine is used to stimulate body immune system to recognize tumor cell-specific antigens, thereby reducing the recurrence rate as much as possible. Most of these vaccines are currently aimed at more malignant triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-positive breast cancer. This article will focus on the research progress of several therappeutic vaccines.

    AIM: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the cell membrane of gram negative bacteria is closely related to the occurrence and development of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Local and systemic monocyte/macrophages play an important role in the inflammatory process of SAP. Artesunate (AS) was reported to protect rats with severe acute pancreatitis by reducing the release of proinflammatory cytokines. This study further explored the molecular mechanism of anti-inflammatory effect of AS. METHODS: The release of proinflammatory cytokines in the supernatant were studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Then, the mRNA expressions of PI3K-III and its key molecules in signaling pathway were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Finally, the phosphorylation levels of PI3K-III were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: AS could significantly inhibit the release of proinflammatory cytokines from mouse macrophage induced by LPS. Autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) could significantly inhibit the release of TNF-α from mouse macrophages induced by LPS; LPS significantly increased the mRNA expression of PI3K-III and its key molecules in mouse peritoneal macrophages (PMs). Finally, AS could significantly inhibit the increase of PI3K-III phosphorylation induced by LPS in PMs. CONCLUSION: The anti-inflammatory mechanism of AS is closely related to the inhibition of PI3K-III phosphorylation.

    Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics    2023, 28 (10): 1109-1120.   DOI: 10.12092/j.issn.1009-2501.2023.10.004
    Abstract86)      PDF (1139KB)(100)       Save
    AIM: To evaluate the risk of drug-related dysphagia in elder people based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). METHODS: We collected the reports of dysphagia in elder people (Age≥65) from 2004 quarter 1 through 2022 quarter 2 of FAERS by Open Vigil 2.1 database. The reported odds ratio (ROR) and the proportional reported ratio (PRR) were calculated to detect the adverse reaction signal of drug-induced dysphagia in elder people. Signal generation standard of ROR: number of reports≥3 with the lower limit of 95% confidence interval (CI) of the ROR value>1, PRR≥2 and c2≥4, which indicates positive signal. RESULTS: A total of 51, 590 reports (including 13,197 dysphagia events and 1,395 drug) were considered, and 350 positive signal drugs were detected. The Median age of the included patients was 75 years,and there were more females than males. Positive signal drugs are mainly concentrated on nervous system [n=99, ROR 2.17(1.97-2.39)] , alimentary tract and metabolism [n=47, ROR 1.44(1.25-1.66)], cardiovascular system [n=42, ROR 1.30(1.22-1.39)], anti-infectives for systemic use [n=27, ROR 1.44(1.29-1.61)]. CONCLUSION: Drug-induced dysphagia risk are widespread according to the FAERS. It is recommended that multidisciplinary teams should assess the swallowing status of potients when selecting drugs. For elderly patients with high risk of swallowing, priority should be given to drugs with negative signals of dysphgia. When the preferred  drugs fail to meet the clinical need, it is recommended to select drug with lowe risk.Simultaneous clinical need to supervise the application of drugs in the process to prevent the occurrence of dysphagia events.

    AIM: To describe and evaluate the clinical characteristics, treatment management and clinical outcomes of ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) in the treatment of patients with multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacterial (MDR-GNB) infections. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed on patients hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from September 2019 to December 2021. Adult patients who received CZA for ≥ 72 hours consecutively were eligible for inclusion. The primary outcome was clinical failure, defined as a composite of 30-day all-cause mortality, microbiological failure and/or failure to resolve or improve signs and symptoms of infection during treatment with CZA. RESULTS: A total of 198 patients with MDR-GNB infections were described and evaluated, including 132 in the carbapenem-resistant Enterobatceriaceae (CRE) cohort and 66 in the Pseudomonas spp. cohort. The main infection sites were lung infection (92.42%), abdominal infection (10.61%), and intracranial infection (10.61%), among which 63 patients (31.82%) were positive for blood culture. Clinical failure, 30-day all-cause mortality and microbiological failure occurred in 61(30.81%), 33(16.67%) and 11(5.56%) patients, respectively. Body mass index (BMI), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation scoring system (APACHE Ⅱ) and polymicrobial infections were positively associated with clinical outcome failure [adjusted OR 1.109, 95%CI 1.017,1.209; adjusted OR 1.071, 95%CI 1.015,1.129; adjusted OR 2.844, 95%CI 1.391,5.814], however, initiation of CZA within 48 hours of admission was protective (adjusted OR 0.424, 95%CI 0.205, 0.879). A total of 15 patients had adverse reactions possibly related to CZA, including 2 cases of rash, 6 cases of nausea and vomiting, and 7 cases of antibiotic-related diarrhea. CONCLUSION: CZA can be used to treat infections caused by a range of MDR-GNB, including Pseudomonas spp. and CRE.

    AIM: To explore the potential mechanism of action of Pingxiao capsule in the treatment of breast cancer. METHODS: TCMSP, TCM-ID, GeneCards and other databases were used to screen the related targets of Pingxiao capsule and breast cancer. Cytoscape software builds drug-target-disease networks. R software was used for GO and KEGG analysis. Autodock Vina and Pymol software were used for molecular docking and visualization of Pingxiao capsule active ingredients and core targets. Core targets were analyzed by R software survival package, and genes closely related to overall survival time were screened out. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 method. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis. The protein expression levels of p-AKT1, β-catenin and cyclinD1 were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: A total of 194 drug targets were screened, 1612 disease targets were identified, 127 intersection targets were identified by Venn diagram, and 20 core targets were TB53, AKT1, TNF, CASP3, etc. GO analysis was mainly related to oxidative stress response, cell regulation of chemical reaction and other biological activities. KEGG analysis was mainly related to PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway and other pathways. Molecular docking results showed that the active constituents were well combined with the core targets AKT1, MAPK1 and RELA. Cell experiments showed that quercetin (40, 80, 120 μmol/L) promoted apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Western blot analysis showed that the protein expressions of p-AKT1, β-catenin and cyclinD1 decreased with different concentrations of quercetin treated for 48h. CONCLUSION: Network pharmacology and cell experiments confirmed that Pingxiao capsule may exert its anti-breast cancer effect by regulating AKT1/β-catenin signaling pathway.

    AIM: To investigate the neuroprotective effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on rats with ischemic stroke and to investigate its mechanism of action. METHODS: Eighty-four SPF-grade SD male rats at about 13 weeks of age were randomly divided into 7 groups (n=12): sham-operated group, model group, Rg1 low-dose group, Rg1 medium-dose group, Rg1 high-dose group, Epac1 agonist group, and Epac1 inhibitor group. The model group, Rg1 low, medium and high dose groups, Epac1 agonist group and Epac1 inhibitor group were all used to establish a permanent focal cerebral ischemia rat model. Rats in the Rg1 low, medium and high dose groups were treated with 60, 120 and 240 μmol/L Rg1 administered by gavage at a fixed time every morning. The rats in the Epac1 agonist and Epac1 inhibitor groups were administered intraperitoneally at a fixed time each morning with a concentration of 1.0×104 μmol/L for the Epac1 agonist 8-CPT and 1.0×105 μmol/L for the inhibitor ESI-09. After two weeks of continuous administration, the rats in each group were decapitated. The brain infarct volume, number of intact neurons, oxidative damage index, apoptosis, and protein expression levels of NOX2, Epac1, Rap1, and caspase3 in each group of rats were detected by TTC staining, Nissler staining, TUNEL staining, microenzyme labeling, and Western blotting method, respectively. RESULTS: Compared with the sham-operated group, the brain infarct volume of rats in the model group and Epac1 agonist group was significantly larger, the number of intact neurons in brain tissue was significantly reduced, the oxidative damage of neurons in brain tissue was significantly aggravated, the apoptosis rate of neuronal cells was significantly higher, and the expression of NOX2, Epac1, Rap1, and caspase3 was significantly higher, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05); compared with the model group, the brain infarct volume was significantly reduced in the Rg1 low, medium and high dose groups and Epac1 inhibitor group, the number of intact neurons in brain tissue was significantly increased, the apoptosis rate of neuronal cells was significantly reduced, and the expression of NOX2, Epac1, Rap1 and Caspase3 was significantly reduced, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Ginsenoside Rg1 can regulate the Epac1/Rap1 signaling pathway after ischemic stroke and attenuate the oxidative stress of brain neurons, thus reducing neurological impairment and exerting a protective effect on neuronal cells.

METHODS: The contents of 24 h urine protein, serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr) in MRL/faslpr mice (lupus nephritis group) and MRL/MPJ mice (control group) were detected. MCs were separated, purified and divided into: MCs group (MCs without any treatment), L-EMO group (MCs treated with 10 μmol/L Emodin), M-EMO group (MCs treated with 25 μmol/L Emodin), H-EMO group (MCs treated with 50 μmol/L Emodin), H-EMO+miR-96-5p-NC group (MCs treated with 50 μmol/L Emodin and transfected with miR-96-5p-NC), and H-EMO+miR-96-5p-minic group (MCs treated with 50 μmol/L Emodin and transfected with miR-96-5p-minic). Double luciferase report experiment was used to verify the targeting relationship between miR-96-5p and FOXK2. The real-time quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-96-5p. Western blot was used to detect the expression of FOXK2 and apoptosis related proteins. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of inflammatory factors in MCs. cell count kit 8 (CCK-8) was used to determine the activity of MCs. Annexin-V FITC/PI double staining was used to detect apoptosis of MCs. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, 24 h urinary protein content, serum BUN and Scr levels in the lupus nephritis group were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the MCs group, the miR-96-5p expression, interleukin1β (IL-1β), interleukin6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), A450 value and B-lymphoblastoma-2 (Bcl-2) protein in the L-EMO group, M-EMO group and H-EMO group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), the FOXK2 level, cell apoptosis rate, Bcl-2 related X gene (Bax), aspartate specific cysteine proteinase-3 (cleaved Caspase-3) protein levels were significantly increased, respectively (P<0.05), the effect of Emodin was dose-dependent. Compared with the H-EMO group and H-EMO+miR-96-5p-NC group, H-EMO+miR-96-5p-minic group obviously increased the miR-96-5p expression, inflammatory factor levels, A450 value and Bcl-2 protein level (P<0.05), and obviously decreased FOXK2 level and cell apoptosis rate (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: EMO can reduce the injury of lupus nephritis MCs by down-regulating miR-96-5p and then up-regulating FOXK2.

    AIM: To investigate the mechanism of elemene synergistic bortezomib against multiple myeloma based on ROS-NF-κB-p38MAPK signaling pathway. METHODS: CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell activity. Nude mice were randomly divided into control group, bortezomib (BTZ) group, elemene (ELE) group and combination group. Each group was treated with BTZ, ELE and BTZ combined with ELE, respectively. Tunel staining was performed to observe the apoptosis of tumor tissues. The expressions of Caspase-3, Bcl-2, NF-κB and p38 MAPK were detected by Western Blot. Cell cycle, apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression were detected by flow cytometry using human myeloma U266 cells. RESULTS: When 4.0 μmol/L ELE combined with 50 nmol/L BTZ treated U266, the cell activity was significantly reduced compared with that of NC, BTZ and ELE groups (P<0.05). The tumor volume of nude mice in BTZ group, ELE group and combined group was significantly reduced compared with the control group (P<0.05), and the combined group was the smallest. Tunel staining results showed that the apoptosis level in the control group was lower than that in the BTZ group, ELE group and the combined group (P<0.05), and the combined group had the lowest apoptosis level. Compared with the control group, the expressions of Caspase-3 and p38 MAPK in BTZ group, ELE group and combination group were significantly increased, while the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly decreased. The apoptosis level and expression of ROS in BTZ group, ELE group and the combined group was significantly increased compared with the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: ELE can enhance the role of BTZ in promoting apoptosis of myeloma cells, which may be achieved by regulating ROS/NF-κB/p38 MAPK signaling pathway to enhance the level of apoptosis of tumor cells to achieve anti-tumor effect.

    Perioperative bleeding is closely related to the prognosis of patients, and massive blood loss can lead to serious adverse events. Tranexamic acid, a lysine derivative, exerts anti-fibrinolytic effects by competitively blocking lysine binding sites on plasminogen to achieve hemostasis. Perioperative use of tranexamic acid can effectively reduce the risk of bleeding and the need for blood transfusion, and reduce the risk of bleeding related complications and death. At present, the use of tranexamic acid for perioperative hemostasis is increasingly widespread, and it is gradually entering the consensus and guidelines in more surgical fields. In this paper, the mechanism of action, perioperative application and adverse reactions of tranexamic acid were reviewed, and the effectiveness and safety of tranexamic acid in different surgical types were discussed, so as to provide reference for the application and research of tranexamic acid in China.

    AIM: To investigate the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) on kidney injury in rats with chronic renal failure (CRF) and its potential molecular mechanism. METHODS: SD rats were given 5/6 nephrectomy to construct CRF models and divided into model group, GBE group (100 mg/kg), GBE+Agomir-NC group, and GBE+Agomir-145 group, 12 per group; another 12 were selected as the sham group, with only the kidney exposed and no nephrectomy. Rats in the GBE group were given GBE 100 mg/kg gavage daily, once a day, for 4 consecutive weeks; rats in the GBE+Agomir-NC group and GBE+Agomir-145 group were given GBE 100 mg/kg gavage daily, and then Agomir-NC and Agomir-145 were injected via the tail vein every 3 days for 4 weeks; the sham group and the model group were given the same amount of normal saline by gavage and injection through the tail vein respectively. The general state of the rat was observed, and the renal function indicators [24 h urine microalbumin (24 h UAlb), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), blood creatinine (SCr)] and oxidative stress indicators [malonaldehyde (MDA), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)] were detected, Masson staining was used to observe the fibrosis of kidney tissue, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of microRNA-145 (miR-145), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) in renal tissue, Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of TGF-β1 and FOXO1 in kidney tissue. RESULTS: The general state of CRF rats improved significantly after GBE intervention, the body weight, renal tissue SOD and GSH-Px activities, and FOXO1 mRNA and protein levels were significantly higher than those in the model group (P<0.05); the 24 h UAlb, serum BUN, SCr and renal tissue MDA levels, the relative area of renal interstitial fibrosis, and renal tissue miR-145, TGF-β1 mRNA and protein levels were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.05); and on the basis of GBE intervention, up-regulating the expression of miR-145 could significantly weaken the protective effect of GBE on renal injury in CRF rats (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: GBE can alleviate kidney damage in CRF rats, and its mechanism of action may be related to down-regulation of miR-145, up-regulation of FOXO1 expression, and inhibition of renal fibrosis.

    Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the main cause of cancer deaths among women worldwide. HER2 positive breast cancer accounts for 15% of all breast cancer. This subtype of breast cancer is highly invasive and has a very poor prognosis. With the development of anti-HER2 targeted therapy, the prognosis of these patients has been improved. However, some patients have poor response to the anti-HER2 therapy. Therefore, it is necessary to select biomarkers that can predict the therapeutic effect for improving the efficacy of these patients. This article describes the research progress of HER2 positive biomarkers for breast cancer, focusing on biomarkers related to the efficacy of targeted therapy, in order to provide some reference for future clinical optimization of targeted therapy.

    Diabetic microvascular complications are the main reason for the high mortality of diabetic patients. There is still a great shortage of existing therapeutic drugs, so there is an urgent need for more effective new drugs. Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) is involved in the progression of diabetic microvascular complications, which can be improved by regulating this pathway. Therefore, this article reviews the progress of JAK/STAT in diabetic microvascular complications (diabetic kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy), and summarizes the potential drugs that intervene JAK/stat to improve diabetic microvascular complications in recent years from three aspects of therapeutic drugs, preclinical drugs, and traditional Chinese medicine, in order to provide ideas for drug development and treatment of diabetic microvascular complications.

    Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is an intestinal flora metabolite produced in the liver by the oxidation of trimethylamine (TMA) by hepatic enzymes. Recently, it has been found that plasma TMAO levels play an important role in the development and progression of osteoporosis. This review has presented the physiological functions and metabolic processes of TMAO, and its effects on the development and progression of osteoporosis through oxidative stress and inflammation. Plasma TMAO levels are influenced by diet as well as medications, which provides a new perspective and target for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis.

    Research progress of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 in pulmonary fibrosis
    WANG Jie, LI Long, CHEN Feng, LIU Shengfei
    Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics    2023, 28 (9): 1067-1072.   DOI: 10.12092/j.issn.1009-2501.2023.09.014

    Pulmonary fibrosis is a common chronic interstitial lung disease. It is characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix and remodeling of lung tissue structure, resulting in severe impairment of lung function. The cause of its pathogenesis is still unclear. Therefore, it is urgent to explore its pathogenesis and find new targets to combat pulmonary fibrosis. Studies have shown that nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 can maintain the body's redox homeostasis by regulating antioxidant genes and combining antioxidant response components, thereby protecting tissues and cells from oxidative stress. In recent years, many studies have proved that nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 can play an anti-fibrotic role by alleviating oxidative stress, inhibiting macrophage polarization, activating autophagy, inhibiting ferroptosis, and blocking epithelial-mesenchymal transition. This paper provides a brief review of the association and research progress of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 with pulmonary fibrosis, with the aim of providing a new direction for the precise treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.

    Endometrial cancer originates from the endometrium and is one of the common gynecologic malignancies, with its incidence and mortality rate increasing year by year. Although endometrial cancer is more prevalent in the peri- and post-menopausal female population, it has been an evident trend in recent years towards younger patients. For young patients who have not yet given birth but intend to do so, the application of progestins in endometrial cancer treatment has made significant progress in clinical practice. Considering the existence of large individual differences and unclear mechanisms of action in the clinical application of progestins, this paper aims to provide an overview of the current clinical application status, efficacy, hormone resistance, and its mechanisms in the context of hormone therapy.
