Abstract:
  Objective  To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of nivolumab in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.   Methods  PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), Weipu Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database, Wanfang Medical Database were searched for articles published from the establishment of the database to March 2023. Published randomized controlled trials of nivolumab in the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer were selected, overall survival, progression-free survival, and adverse reaction rate as outcome indicators were used. A meta-analysis using STATA version 13.1 statistical software was conducted.   Results  A total of 8 phase Ⅲ randomized controlled trials involving 4945 subjects were included. Compared with the traditional chemotherapy group, patients in the nivolumab group had significantly reduced risk of death in terms of overall survival [HR=0.73, 95% CI=0.65-0.82, P<0.05], and in terms of progression-free survival, nivolumab significantly reduced the risk of recurrence compared with the traditional chemotherapy group [HR=0.74, 95% CI=0.63-0.88, P<0.05]. In terms of safety, there was no significant difference between the nivolumab group and the traditional chemotherapy group for diarrhea, but the incidence of nausea, neutropenia, anemia, decreased appetite, and fatigue in the nivolumab group was lower than that in the traditional chemotherapy group. However, it should be worth noting that the incidence of immune-related adverse events such as rash was higher in the nivolumab group than in the traditional chemotherapy group, and the difference was statistically significant [OR=3.85, 95%CI=2.05~6.25, P<0.05].   Conclusions  Compared to traditional chemotherapy, the efficacy and safety of nivolumab in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer were better, but the risk of immune-related adverse events increased.

Abstract:
  Objective  To establish an UPLC-MS/MS method for determinating content of three paclitaxel fatty acid esters such as paclitaxel myristate (PTX-MA), paclitaxel palmitate (PTX-PA) and paclitaxel myristate (PTX-SA) in mouse plasma, and preliminarily investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of their liposomes in mice.   Methods  Eclipse Plus C8 chromatography column (2.1 mm×50 mm) was used with different proportions of 0.2% formic acid aqueous solution (A) and methanol (B) mixture as mobile phase for gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.3 ml/min. The collum temperature was 30 ℃. The sample injection volume was 10 μL. The triple quadrupole mass series spectrometer was used as multi-reaction monitoring (MRM).   Results  PTX-MA, PTX-PA and PTX-SA all exhibited a good linear relationship in the range of 5.0~500.0 ng/ml (r>0.9950). Their RSD of precision, stability, extraction recovery rate and matrix effect test results was all less than 10%. The half-lives (T1/2) for liposomes of three paclitaxel fatty acid esters PTX-MA-L、PTX-PA-L and PTX-SA-L in mice were 14.78 h, 44.49 h and 69.32 h individually, and their clearance rates (CL) were 29.06 L·kg/h, 24.94 L·kg/h and 13.74 L·kg/h, respectively.   Conclusion  This method had high specificity, sensitivity, easy operation and good stability, which could be used for the determination of paclitaxel fatty acid esters in mouse plasma. The results of pharmacokinetic studies in mice showed that T1/2 for paclitaxel fatty acid esters were significantly prolonged, and the clearance rate were significantly reduced with the length of fatty acid carbon chains increasement, which indicated that esterification of paclitaxel with different chain length saturated fatty acids could obviously alter its in vivo pharmacokinetic properties, which provided scientific basis for the research and development of nano formulations of paclitaxel fatty acid ester prodrug.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the role and potential mechanisms of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on activation and oxidative stress of hepatic stellate cell (HSC).   Methods  Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-bb, 10 ng/ml) was applied to induce the activation of HSCs, which was then treated with ATRA at a dosage of 5 μmol/L for 48 h. The effects of ATRA on HSC activation were evaluated by detecting changes in cell growth viability and phenotypic marker expression. The effects of ATRA on HSC oxidative stress were evaluated by detecting changes in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione[reduced] (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA), and the expression of antioxidant genes. The effects of ATRA on HSC autophagic activity were evaluated by detecting changes in autophagy marker expression and autophagic flow.   Results  Compared with the PDGF-bb group, the cell viability was significantly reduced in ATRA-treated HSCs (P<0.01), as well as the expression of α-SMA and Collagen I. The intracellular levels of ROS and MDA were significantly reduced in ATRA-treated HSCs (P<0.01), whereas the GSH level was significantly increased (P<0.01). The expression levels of antioxidant genes (NRF2, HO-1, and ATF4), were significantly higher in ATRA-treated HSCs than those in the normal ones under PDGF-bb condition (P<0.01). Meanwhile, the expression of autophagy markers Beclin 1 and LC3 Ⅱ/I, and signal of autophagy flow in ATRA-treated HSCs were found to be significantly reduced (P<0.01).   Conclusion  ATRA significantly inhibited PDGF-bb-induced HSC activation and reduced the level of oxidative stress and autophagic activity of HSCs, which had potential applications in the prevention and treatment of liver fibrosis.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the effect of Bajitianwan(BJTW)formula on bone formation of Aβ-injured osteoblasts and its mechanism.   Methods  Osteoblasts isolated from neonatal 24-hour Wistar rats were used for the study, and osteoblasts were subjected to damage with Aβ1-42 oligomers, and pharmacological intervention was performed with the aqueous extract of BJTW formula. The MTT assay, alkaline phosphatase(ALP)activity assay, catalase(CAT)activity assay, superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity assay, glutathione(GSH)activity assay and malondialdehyde(MDA)activity assay were carried out respectively. The expression levels of bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP2), osteogenic specific transcription factor(RUNX-2)and osteoprotective protein(OPG)were detected by Western blotting. After confirming the effect of BJTW formula on Aβ-injured osteoblasts, the network pharmacology method was used to predict the potential pathways.   Results  The BJTW formula significantly promoted the proliferation of Aβ-injured osteoblasts, increased ALP, SOD and GSH activity, inhibited MDA activity, and promoted the expression of bone formation-related proteins BMP2, RUNX-2 and OPG. Network pharmacological analysis showed that the effect of ameliorating of Aβ-injured osteoblasts by BJTW formula was mainly mediated by AGE-RAGE, PI3K-Akt, MAPK and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction signaling pathways.   Conclusion  In this study, the effect of BJTW formula on improving the osteoblasts damaged by Aβ is confirmed for the first time, and its related mechanism is explored based on network pharmacology method. The results lay a strong foundation for the clinical application of traditional formula BJTW against osteoporosis.

Abstract:
  Objective  Pulmonary oxygen poisoning resulting from hyperbaric oxygen, frequently occurs in specialized operations, without any current effective prevention or treatment measures. To elucidate the impact of neostigmine(NEO)in combination with anisodamine (ANI)(neoscopolamine)on pulmonary oxygen toxicity and its mechanism.   Methods   the animal model of pulmonary oxygen poisoning was established. C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 2.5ATA 99.9% oxygen for 6 hours. The control group mice were injected with normal saline ip, while the treatment group mice received injections of ANI (25mg/kg, ip)and NEO(50μg/kg, ip). Lung tissues were collected and stained with HE to observe any pathological injuries after exposure. Evans blue stain was utilized to identify lung permeability, wet/dry lung ratio, and protein concentration in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)to assess the lung injury’s severity. The modifications in inflammatory factors, oxidative stress indicators, and iron content in lung tissue were assessed.   Results  The results showed that the 2.5ATA 99.9% oxygen-exposed group experienced a significant worsening of lung injury, as well as increased lung permeability, lung wet/dry ratio, and protein content in alveolar lavage fluid when compared to the control group. Moreover, mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ in the lung tissue of the model group were significantly elevated, while the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and TGF-β were significantly reduced. The oxidative index MDA also significantly increased, while the antioxidant index GSH significantly decreased. Additionally, the expression of GPX4, a marker of ferroptosis, increased with an increase in iron content. Neoscopolamine treatment successfully reversed those effects.   Conclusion  The combined use of ANI and NEO has a protective effect on pulmonary oxygen poisoning. Neoscopolamine may inhibit inflammation and oxidative stress by activating the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, thereby reducing the content of free iron in lung tissue and finally inhibiting cell ferroptosis.

Abstract:
  Objective  To study the mechanism of antidepressant effect of Baihe Zhimu decoction based on NLRP1 inflammasome.   Methods  A chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)induced depression mouse model was constructed. C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a control group, CUMS group, low-dose Baihe Zhimu decoction group, high-dose Baihe Zhimu decoction group, and MDP group(NLRP1 activator). After administration continuously for 4 weeks, the behavioral characteristic of mice was investigated. The levels of mice hippocampal inflammatory factors IL-1β、 IL-6, TNF-α, and neurotransmitters 5-HT, NE, and DA were detected by ELISA. The expression of inflammasome related proteins NLRP1, ASC, and caspase-1, as well as related proteins in BDNF/TrkB and ERK/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway were detected by Western blot. Immunofluorescence was used to detect changes in BDNF expression in the hippocampus of mice.   Results  Baihe Zhimu decoction inhibited the activation of NLRP1 inflammasomes in the hippocampus of CUMS mice, improved their behavioral characteristics, increased the level of neurotransmitters in the hippocampus, and reduced the inflammatory response. The NLRP1 activator MDP reversed the above effects of Baihe Zhimu decoction. Baihe Zhimu decoction increased BDNF, TrkB expression, and phosphorylation levels of ERK, AKT, and mTOR proteins, which could be reversed by MDP.   Conclusion  Baihe Zhimu decoction improved depression like behavior in CUMS mice by inhibiting NLRP1 inflammasome activation and hippocampal neuroinflammatory response, and thereby activating BDNF/TrkB and ERK/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Abstract:
[ Abstract] Lateral flow immunochromatography assay is a new instantaneous detection technology that employs a chromatographic membrane and labeling materials for detection. This detection technology is convenient, fast, and inexpensive, and is therefore widely used in a number of different fields, such as biomedicine, disease detection, food safety, environmental protection, and so on. Traditional lateral flow immunochromatography assay relies on visual observation and provides only qualitative or semi-quantitative results. By utilizing various types of markers and sensitive detection devices, lateral flow immunochromatography assay enables quantitative and multi-component detection of the analytes. The research progress on the lateral flow immunoassay detection system and its current applications in the context of recognition elements, labeling materials, and detection instruments were reviewed in this paper.

Abstract:
  Objective  Hand-foot syndrome is a dose-limiting toxicity of capecitabine. At present, there is no unified gold standard for the establishment of hand-foot syndrome model. To induce hand-foot syndrome and provide a reference for the establishment of hand-foot syndrome model by administering capecitabine in ICR mice   Methods  42 male ICR mice were randomly divided into control group (6 mice) and experimental group (36 mice). The experimental group was given capecitabine (275 mg/kg, twice/d) by intragastric administration for two weeks, and the control group was given 0.5% CMC-Na (4 ml/kg, twice/d), and evaluating whether the animal model of hand-foot syndrome was successfully constructed through H&E staining of mouse foot skin samples and observing morphological changes and the characteristic appearance of mouse foot skin. After the experiment, the mice were sacrificed, and plasma was collected to quantify the concentrations of capecitabine and metabolites.   Results  Control mice did not showed symptoms of hand-foot syndrome. The skin of the feet of 19 mice in the experimental group showed symptoms such as erythema and swelling, and H&E staining results showed that the plantar skin angular epidermis was thickened, and part of the keratin was exfoliated and damaged, which was considered to be hand-foot syndrome. There were no significant differences in the concentrations of capecitabine and its metabolites between mice with and without hand-foot syndrome.   Conclusion  The model of hand-foot syndrome induced by capecitabine in mice is successfully established. Differences in exposure levels of capecitabine and metabolites may not be the cause of hand-foot syndrome.

  Objective   To investigate the potential mechanism of nicotinamide combined with amphotericin B against Candida albicans based on metabolomics.   Methods  The intracellular metabolites of C. albicans intervened by different drugs including NAM, AmB, and their combination with a proper concentration were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The differential metabolites were screened by multivariate statistical analysis and identified by searching the NIST database.   Results   Compared with the control group, the NAM intervention group was hardly separated from it, while the AmB group and NAM+AmB group showed a clear trend separation. Under the intervention of AmB, 23 metabolites significantly changed compared with the control group, and 28 metabolites remarkably changed after NAM+AmB intervention, including amino acids, organic acids, sugars and other components.   Conclusion  NAM, as an endogenous metabolite of C. albicans, combined with AmB could enhance the effects of AmB in the original metabolic pathway and changed it to a certain extent. It is speculated that AmB combined with NAM may pose more antifungal effect on Candida albicans by regulating the tricarboxylic acid cycle, interfering with amino acid metabolism and influencing polyamine synthesis.

Abstract:
[Abstract] Chiral drugs are closely related to the safety and effectiveness of drug use. Most dihydropyridine drugs have chiral carbon atoms, which are used as racemes and produce stereoselective disposal characteristics after entering the body, which may affect the safety and effectiveness of drugs. Therefore, based on the chiral resolution and pharmacokinetic characteristics of this class of drugs, the selection rules of chiral HPLC and CE methods and in vivo analysis applications of this class of drugs in recent years were reviewed. The stereoselective pharmacokinetics of this class of drugs were listed and compared. It was found that some of these drugs had obvious differences in stereoselective pharmacokinetics, and the pharmacokinetics and toxicity in vivo were also different.

Abstract:
  Objective  Study on the effect of Lishukang capsule on learning and memory impairment in mice with high altitude hypoxia based on Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway.   Methods  Sixty male Balb/C mice were randomly divided into normal control group, hypoxia model group, Rhodiola capsule group: 400 mg/kg, low, medium and high dose groups of Lishukang capsule: 400 mg/kg, 600 mg/kg, 800 mg/kg, with 10 mice in each group. The normal control group was fed at the local altitude (1500m) after 7 days of intragastric administration in each group, and the rest groups were fed at the low pressure and hypoxia animal experimental cabin to simulate the altitude of 7500 m for hypoxia for 3 days. During this period, the normal control group and the hypoxia model group were given normal saline once a day, and 1 hour after the last administration, the eight arm maze was used to test the spatial memory ability of mice under simulated high altitude hypoxia; HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes of hippocampus in mice; Western blot was used to detect the changes of protein content of Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway and apoptosis related protein in hippocampus of mice.   Results  Compared with the normal control group, the spatial memory ability of mice in the hypoxia model group was significantly impaired (P<0.01); HE staining showed that hippocampal neurons in mice were seriously injured; the content of brain tissue Keap1 protein and apoptosis related protein Bax and Caspase-3 increased (P<0.01); the content of Nrf2, HO-1 and apoptosis related protein Bcl-2 decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the hypoxia model group, the error rate of mice in the high dose group of Lishukang capsule in the eight arm maze behavior experiment was significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01); HE staining showed that the neurons were arranged orderly and the cell morphology was good; the content of Keap1 protein and apoptosis related protein Bax and Caspase-3 decreased (P<0.01); the content of Nrf2, HO-1 and apoptosis related protein Bcl-2 increased (P<0.01).   Conclusion  High altitude hypoxia can lead to oxidative stress injury in mice and induce the expression of apoptosis related genes, thus aggravating the cognitive dysfunction of mice; Lishukang capsule can effectively improve the learning and memory impairment in mice caused by hypoxia, and its mechanism may be related to regulating the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway and reducing apoptosis.

Abstract:
Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor with high incidence and mortality rate in the world and its pathogenic factors are complex and diverse. There are no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and most patients are in the middle to late stage at the initial diagnosis. The prognosis of esophageal cancer is poor. The treatment mode of conventional surgical resection combined with chemoradiotherapy can no longer meet the current treatment needs of disease, and new treatment strategies are urgently needed. Molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy are new treatment methods that have emerged in recent years, which have broken the therapeutic bottleneck and have been proven to play important roles in the treatment of esophageal cancer. The current research progress of the main targets and their related targeted drugs in molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy for esophageal cancer were reviewed in this article, which provided reference for the application of precision medicine in the field of esophageal cancer.

Abstract:
In recent years, the rapid development of medical information technology has made it critical to analyze large-scale diagnosis and therapeutic data and extract rules based on real medical environment. This has become an essential approach for marketing evaluation and regulatory decision-making of drugs and devices both domestically and internationally. Real world study (RWS), as a novel methodology for clinical evaluation of drugs in the field of drug utilization research (DUR), have presented opportunities and challenges for observational studies in assessing actual efficacy or effectiveness. However, despite being a popular methodological approach among scholars in the field, there are still limitations and deficiencies when analyzing population medication characteristics in RWS. Systematic evaluation research methods have not yet been established, leading to inadequate generation of real-world evidence (RWE). The research design, methodological pathways, evaluation indicators, confounding factors, and bias management involved in DUR based on real-world data (RWD) were reviewed in this artical with the intention of providing guidance for further exploration into DUR.
