    AIM: To observe the effect of paricalcitol on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, and to explore the relationship with HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.  METHODS: Twenty-four SPF-grade healthy adult male C57BL/6J mice were divided into 4 groups (n=6) by random number table: sham operation group (S group), paricalcitol pretreatment+sham operation group (SP group), intestinal ischemia-reperfusion group (IR group) and paricalcitol ischemic preconditioning group (P group). S group and SP group were separated the superior mesenteric artery, IR group and P group were clamped the superior mesenteric artery for 45 minutes and then followed by reperfusion for 2 hours to establish the intestinal ischemia-reperfusion model; SP group and P group were intraperitoneally injected with 0.3 μg/kg paricalcitol 24 hours before surgery, and the other two groups were given equal volume of normal saline. The mice were sacrificed at 2 h after reperfusion, and the intestinal tissue was obtained 5 cm from the terminal ileum. The pathological results were observed under light microscope. The intestinal mucosal injury was scored according to the Chiu's scoring standard. The intestinal tissue diamine oxidase (DAO) and tumor were detected by ELISA. Necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) content; Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of HMGB1, TLR4 and NF-κB p65 protein in small intestine tissues.RESULTS: Compared with S group and SP group, Chiu's score was increased, the expression of Dao, TNF-α and IL-6 were increased, as well as the expression of HMGB1, TLR4 and NF-κB p65 protein increased significantly in IR group (P<0.05); Compared with IR group, Chiu's score was decreased, the expression of Dao, TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased, as well as the expression of HMGB1, TLR4 and NF-κB p65 protein decreased significantly in P group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Paricalcitol can alleviate intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and playing an anti-inflammatory role.

    AIM: To investigate the effects and protective mechanism of Tianma Gouteng (TGY) against rotenone (Rot) damage in PC12 cells. METHODS: PC12 cells were treated with Rot to establish nerve injury model and cell survival rate was determined by MTT colorimetry to determine the optimal modeling concentration of Rot and effective intervention concentration of TGY. Lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected by flow cytometry and fluorescence intensity was observed by inverted fluorescence microscope. The biochemical methods were used to detect, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) levels and activity and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA). Transmission electron microscopy observed morphological change of mitochondria and protein expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), long chain lipoyl-coa synthase 4 (ACSL4) and lysophospholipid cholinyltransferase 3 (LPCAT3) were detected by western blot. RESULTS: The survival rate of cells treated with 0.6 μmol/L Rot for 24 h was close to 50%(56.7%±9.9%). Pretreatment with TGY for 12 h could inhibit the damage of Rot. At the same time, the leakage rate of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was reduced in a dose-dependent manner. Lipid ROS content increased after the treatment of Rot, whereas pretreatment with TGY effectively reduced lipid ROS content, decreased MDA level and increased SOD activity and GSH level in damaged cells in cells damaged by Rot. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the mitochondria of PC12 cells were shrunk after the damage of 0.6 μmol/L Rot and the mitochondrial morphology of PC12 cells was improved to some extent after preprotection of TGY compared with normal group. Western blot results showed that TGY pretreatment could increase the expression of GPX4 and reduce the expression of ACSL4 and LPCAT3 after damage of Rot to a certain extent. CONCLUSION: TGY can improve nerve damage by up-regulating the expression of GPX4 protein, down-regulating the expression of ACSL4 and LPCAT3 protein to inhibit the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, reduce the level of lipid peroxidation and ROS content.

    AIM: To study the effects of trigliptin succinate on gut microbiota of type 2 diabetic mice.  METHODS: 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing method was used to sequence the intestinal flora of mice in the healthy group, the T2DM group, the trigliptin succinate group and the sitagliptin phosphate group. QIME was used to filter the data, classify and annotate the species. Alpha diversity index and Beta diversity index of the samples were analyzed.The richness and diversity of bacteria in the four groups were compared. RESULTS: The gut microbiota structure of mice in the healthy group, the T2DM group, the trigliptin succinate group and the setagliptin phosphate group were significantly different. The results showed that the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes was decreased compared with that in the healthy group. Cyanobacteria, Verrucomicrobia and Tenericutes had significant differences (P<0.05). Potential biomarkers for T2DM group were Bacilli, Lactobacillales, Lactococcus and Streptococcaceae. Candidate biomarkers of trigliptin succinate group may be Bacteroidia, Bacteroidetes, Bacteroidales, Prevotella, Paraprevotellaceae, Parabacteroides, Porphyromonadaceae; The candidate biomarkers of sitagliptin phosphate group may be Lactobacillus, Lactobacillaceae and Helicobacter. CONCLUSION: The intestinal flora of mice in the trigliptin succinate group was significantly different from that in the healthy group and the T2DM group. Using trigliptin succinate to improve the intestinal flora of mice might achieve the hypoglycemic effect by improving the intestinal flora.

    AIM: To investigate the effect of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of daptomycin in critically ill patients.  METHODS: Twenty four patients with severe infection in our hospital were randomly selected and divided into ECMO group and non ECMO group. They were intravenously injected with daptomycin 500 mg qd. After the drug reached the stability statement, venous blood was collected at different time points before and after the infusion. The plasma drug concentration was measured and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. The probability target acquisition (PTA) and the cumulative fraction response (CFR) were calculated by Monte Carlo simulation. RESULTS: After dosing, the main pharmacokinetic parameters in ECMO and non-ECMO group were calculated and listed as follows: Cmax were (85.5±25.4) μg/mL and (79.4±29.2) μg/mL, AUC0-24 were (674.2±267.2) mg·L-1·h and (952.9±304.5) mg·L-1·h,t1/2 were (10.9±2.1) h and (11.6±4.3) h,Vd were (0.21±0.12) L/kg and (0.150±0.061) L/kg,CL were (13.3±4.7) mL·h-1·kg-1 and (9.2±3.4) mL·h-1·kg-1. There were significant differences in AUC0-24 and CL between the two groups, and there was no significant difference in other pharmacokinetic parameters. Monte Carlo simulation results showed that when the sensitivity of MRSA to daptomycin decreased (MIC≥1 mg/L), the PTA values of ECMO group, non-ECMO group and healthy volunteers were less than 90%. CONCLUSION: ECMO may affect the PK/PD of daptomycin in patients with severe infection to a certain extent. When MIC≥1 mg/L, it is recommended to increase the dosage to achieve the expected antibacterial effect. In view of the individual differences of daptomycin in patients with ECMO, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) should be implemented in these patients, and the administration scheme should be adjusted according to the sensitivity of MRSA pathogens to drugs.

    AIM: To evaluate the bioequivalence of two candesartan cilexetil tablet formulations in healthy Chinese subjects after administration of a single dose, and an artificial neural network model was established to predict the candesartan plasma concentration, and provide a basis for clinical rational use of drugs.  METHODS: Thirty-two healthy Chinese subjects were enrolled for oral administration of a single 8 mg dose of candesartan cilexetil tablet (test or reference product) under fasting or fed conditions to conduct a bioequivalence study. The bioequivalence results were used to build a back-propagation artificial neural network model by MATLAB software, and the model was internally and externally verified to predict the plasma concentration. RESULTS: Under both fasting and fed conditions, the Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ of the test product were all fall within 80.00%-125.00% of the reference product, indicating the two formulations were bioequivalent. The candesartan plasma concentration prediction model was constructed by MATLAB software. The performance verification result of MSE is 0.000 781, the gradient amplitude is 0.000 432, the number of verification checks is 0. Good correlation coefficients are showed in the training group, the verification group, and the prediction group (r>0.99). CONCLUSION: The test and the reference product of candesartan cilexetil are bioequivalent under fasting and fed conditions. The established prediction model can accurately predict the candesartan plasma concentration in humans after oral administration. It may provide a basis for clinical rational use of drugs.

    In recent years, modeling and simulation technology based on pharmacometrics has received increasing attention in the development of innovation drugs. In August of 2021, FDA issued a guidance named Pharmacokinetic-Based Criteria for Supporting Alternative Dosing Regimens of Programmed Cell Death Receptor-1 (PD-1) or Programmed Cell Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Blocking Antibodies for Treatment of Patients with Cancer Guidance for Industry, claiming the necessity of using population PK-based simulation method for the optimization of dosing regimens, and the corresponding implementation standards. This article first summarized the existing therapeutic regimens of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies in clinic as well as the main content of the guidance, and then cited some actual examples where population PK-based simulation method did contribute to the approval of the alternative dosing regimens. Besides, some critical considerations for the dosing regimen optimization of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies were also analyzed. In our view, this guidance would have positive impacts on the development of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies in the future. We hope that this article may provide some references for the colleagues in China.

    Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor. PARP inhibitor (PARPI) is the first synthetic antineoplastic drug developed based on the concept of synthetic lethality and has been clinically approved for the treatment of ovarian cancer and breast cancer. Due to specific DNA repair defects, studies have found that tumors with BRCA1/2 germline mutations are sensitive to PARPI, but the specific mechanism of action is still unclear. A number of clinical trials for pancreatic cancer have been carried out. Phase III POLO studies have shown that Olaparib is effective and well tolerated as a maintenance treatment in patients with germline BRCA1/2 mutations and patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer after platinum-based induction chemotherapy. Clinical studies related to combination therapy suggest that the benefit of adding PARPI is likely to come from the maintenance phase of treatment. In general, PARPI has broad prospects in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

    Thyroid cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors. After standardized surgery, selective 131I radiotherapy and gonadotropin suppression therapy, the overall prognosis of most patients with differentiated thyroid cancer is good. However, there are still a small number of patients who are not sensitive to radioactive iodine treatment and have mutations of one or more oncogenes, which become iodine-resistant differentiated thyroid cancer. The application of traditional treatment methods cannot achieve satisfactory efficacy, the disease progresses rapidly and the mortality rate is high. This article reviews the progress in the diagnosis and treatment of iodine-resistant differentiated thyroid cancer in order to obtain the necessary time for early identification and targeted therapy.
