[Pharmacovigilance guidelines for clinical application of oral Chinese patent medicines].

Oral Chinese patent medicine is the essence of effective prescriptions created and summarized by Chinese medical scientists through thousands of years of medical practice. It is portable and convenient, with an obvious curative effect and other characteristics. However, at present, oral Chinese patent medicine is rich in dosage forms, various in types, complex in mechanism of action, and broad in clinical positioning. In clinical application, there are often cases of drug use without reference to instructions,repeated drug use, and prolonged drug use, which highlights safety problems such as adverse reactions and hepatorenal toxicity. Oral Chinese patent medicine pharmacovigilance is facing challenges. World Health Organization(WHO) has issued the WHO guidelines on safety monitoring of herbal medicines in pharmacovigilance systems, and International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use(ICH) has issued the ICH E2 pharmacovigilance guidelines. The United States has issued the Pharmacovigilance management standards and pharmacoepidemiological assessment guidelines, and the European Union has issued the Guidelines on good pharmacovigilance practices. Japan, South Korea, and other countries in the Asia Pacific region have established their own pharmacovigilance systems, but currently, there are no pharmacovigilance guidelines related to oral Chinese patent medicine in China. Therefore, experts from many disciplines and fields in China were invited to jointly develop the Pharmacovigilance guidelines for clinical application of oral Chinese patent medicines, which aims to develop pharmacovigilance guidelines for clinical application that are consistent with China's national conditions and highlight the characteristics of oral Chinese patent medicine, and provide guidance for clinically safe and rational drug application in medical institutions.

[Pharmacovigilance guidelines for clinical application of Chinese patent medicines for external use].

There are many kinds and dosage forms of Chinese patent medicines for external use on the market, which are widely used in clinical departments. The common adverse reactions of Chinese patent medicines for external use are skin reactions, and those for the rare severe diseases include palpitation, chest tightness, dyspnea, and anaphylactic shock. At present, World Health Organization(WHO), International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use(ICH),the United States, the European Union, and Asia-Pacific countries(such as Japan and South Korea) have not issued any pharmacovigilance guideline of Chinese patent medicines for external use. China has not issued any pharmacovigilance guideline for these medicines, only releasing the standard Evaluation of skin adverse reactions caused by Chinese patent medicines for external use(T/CACM 005-2017). To standardize the safe and reasonable use of Chinese patent medicines for external use, Pharmacovigilance guidelines for clinical application of Chinese patent medicines for external use was developed with the joint efforts of experts in diverse disciplines. The guideline provides guidance on the monitoring and reporting of adverse reactions/events, identification and assessment of risk signals, and risk control measures in the clinical application of Chinese patent medicines for external use to guide the rational use of these medicines in clinical practice. At the same time, the possible risks and risk control measures in clinical application of Chinese patent medicines for external use are listed for clinical reference. In addition, the guideline provides guidance for risk minimization plans and the standardization of activities related to pharmacovigilance of Chinese patent medicines for external use in China.

[Pharmacovigilance guidelines of Chinese patent medicines].

Drug administration law of the People's Republic of China(2019 revised edition), which came into effect on December 1, 2019, proposed that " the state shall establish a pharmacovigilance system". Pharmacovigilance work of Chinese patent medicines is more difficult, and it is necessary to carry out Pharmacovigilance activities that are in line with the characteristics of Chinese patent medicines.

The Impact of Sciatic Nerve Injury on Extracellular Matrix of Lower Limb Muscle and Thoracolumbar Fascia: An Observational Study.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a complex clinical challenge resulting in functional disability. Neurological recovery does not always ensure functional recovery, as extracellular matrix (ECM) alterations affect muscle function. This study evaluates hyaluronan (HA) and collagen concentration in the gastrocnemius muscle and thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) in unilateral lower limb PNI rats to explore systemic ECM alterations following PNI and their impacts on functional recovery. Eighteen 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into experimental (n = 12 left sciatic nerve injury) and control (n = 6) groups. After six weeks, motor function was evaluated. Muscle and TLF samples were analysed for HA and collagen distribution and concentrations. SFI and gait analysis confirmed a functional deficit in PNI rats 6 weeks after surgery. HA concentration in both sides of the muscles decreased by approximately one-third; both sides showed significantly higher collagen concentration than healthy rats (12.74 ± 4.83 µg/g), with the left (32.92 ± 11.34 µg/g) significantly higher than the right (20.15 ± 7.03 µg/g). PNI rats also showed significantly lower HA (left: 66.95 ± 20.08 µg/g; right: 112.66 ± 30.53 µg/g) and higher collagen (left: 115.89 ± 28.18 µg/g; right: 90.43 ± 20.83 µg/g) concentrations in both TLF samples compared to healthy rats (HA: 167.18 ± 31.13 µg/g; collagen: 47.51 ± 7.82 µg/g), with the left TLF more affected. Unilateral lower limb PNI induced HA reduction and collagen accumulation in both the lower limb muscles and the TLF, potentially exacerbating motor function impairment and increasing the risk of low back dysfunctions.

Peptide hydrogel based electrochemical biosensor for simultaneous monitoring of H2O2 and NO released from three-dimensional cultured breast cancer cells.

An antifouling peptide hydrogel-based electrochemical biosensor was developed for real-time monitoring of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) released by 3D cultured breast cancer cells upon drug stimulation. Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) were electrodeposited on titanium mesh (Pt NPs/TM) to enhance sensitivity and shown to possess excellent electrocatalytic ability toward H2O2 and NO. The composite hydrogel formed by co-assembling of N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl diphenylalanine (Fmoc-FF) and a fluorine methoxycarbonyl group-functionalized Lys-(Fmoc)-Asp was coated on Pt NPs/TM electrode surface to provide cellular scaffolding. Their favorable biocompatibility promoted cell adhesion and growth, while good hydrophilicity endowed the sensor with greatly enhanced antifouling capability in complex cell culture environments. The biosensor successfully determined H2O2 and NO secretion from both non-metastatic and metastatic breast cancer cells in real time. Our results demonstrated robust associations between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) production and cell malignancy, with the main difference in oxidative stress between the two subtypes of cells being NO release, particularly emphasizing RNS's critical leading in driving cancer metastasis and invasion progression. This sensor holds great potential for cell-release research under the in vivo-like microenvironment and could reveal RNS as an attractive therapeutic target for treating breast cancer.

Interventions of sestrin proteins: Insights to clinical therapy.

Sestrin proteins, conserved family proteins which mainly induced by ROS, DNA damage, inflammation, and other injuries. Growing evidences proved sestrin proteins exert protective functions in cardiovascular diseases, chronic degenerative osteoarthritis, musculoskeletal diseases, aging and others, sestrin proteins exhibit an anti-inflammatory response, improving metabolism and other valuable character. However, there is no comprehensive and detailed summary and literature research on the intervention methods of sestrin proteins at present. As the advance of research during last several years, exercise training and other interventions are considered to be the potential methods to up-regulate expression level of protein. In view of the physiological function of this protein, a review of the main studies on regulating the expression level of this protein can provide a novel approach for the clinical treatment and scientific research. In present study, all related researches about interventions and potential mechanisms were reviewed and the mainstream methodologies were described.

The genome of Eleocharis vivipara elucidates the genetics of C3-C4 photosynthetic plasticity and karyotype evolution in the Cyperaceae.

Eleocharis vivipara, an amphibious sedge in the Cyperaceae family, has several remarkable properties, most notably its alternate use of C3 photosynthesis underwater and C4 photosynthesis on land. However, the absence of genomic data has hindered its utility for evolutionary and genetic research. Here, we present a high-quality genome for E. vivipara, representing the first chromosome-level genome for the Eleocharis genus, with an approximate size of 965.22 Mb mainly distributed across 10 chromosomes. Its Hi-C pattern, chromosome clustering results, and one-to-one genome synteny across two subgroups indicates a tetraploid structure with chromosome count 2n = 4x = 20. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that E. vivipara diverged from Cyperus esculentus approximately 32.96 million years ago (Mya), and underwent a whole-genome duplication (WGD) about 3.5 Mya. Numerous fusion and fission events were identified between the chromosomes of E. vivipara and its close relatives. We demonstrate that E. vivipara has holocentromeres, a chromosomal feature which can maintain the stability of such chromosomal rearrangements. Experimental transplantation and cross-section studies showed its terrestrial culms developed C4 Kranz anatomy with increased number of chloroplasts in the bundle sheath (BS) cells. Gene expression and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) showed overall elevated expression of core genes associated with the C4 pathway, and significant enrichment of genes related to modified culm anatomy and photosynthesis efficiency. We found evidence of mixed nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide - malic enzyme and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase type C4 photosynthesis in E. vivipara, and hypothesize that the evolution of C4 photosynthesis predates the WGD event. The mixed type is dominated by subgenome A and supplemented by subgenome B. Collectively, our findings not only shed light on the evolution of E. vivipara and karyotype within the Cyperaceae family, but also provide valuable insights into the transition between C3 and C4 photosynthesis, offering promising avenues for crop improvement and breeding.

Comprehensive application of AI algorithms with TCR NGS data for glioma diagnosis.

T-cell receptor (TCR) detection can examine the extent of T-cell immune responses. Therefore, the article analyzed characteristic data of glioma obtained by DNA-based TCR high-throughput sequencing, to predict the disease with fewer biomarkers and higher accuracy. We downloaded data online and obtained six TCR-related diversity indices to establish a multidimensional classification system. By comparing actual presence of the 602 correlated sequences, we obtained two-dimensional and multidimensional datasets. Multiple classification methods were utilized for both datasets with the classification accuracy of multidimensional data slightly less to two-dimensional datasets. This study reduced the TCR ß sequences through feature selection methods like RFECV (Recursive Feature Elimination with Cross-Validation). Consequently, using only the presence of these three sequences, the classification AUC value of 96.67% can be achieved. The combination of the three correlated TCR clones obtained at a source data threshold of 0.1 is: CASSLGGNTEAFF_TRBV12_TRBJ1-1, CASSYSDTGELFF_TRBV6_TRBJ2-2, and CASSLTGNTEAFF_TRBV12_TRBJ1-1. At 0.001, the combination is: CASSLGETQYF_TRBV12_TRBJ2-5, CASSLGGNQPQHF_TRBV12_TRBJ1-5, and CASSLSGNTIYF_TRBV12_TRBJ1-3. This method can serve as a potential diagnostic and therapeutic tool, facilitating diagnosis and treatment of glioma and other cancers.

Extraocular muscle volume on time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography in patients with myasthenia gravis.

INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Despite being a prominent feature of myasthenia gravis (MG), extraocular muscle (EOM) has received little attention in clinical research. The aim of this study was to examine EOM volume in patients with MG and controls using time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA). METHODS: EOM volumes (overall and individual rectus muscles) were calculated using TOF-MRA images and compared between MG patients (including subgroups) and controls. The correlation between EOM volume and disease duration was examined. Predictive equations for the selected parameters were developed using multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS: EOM volume was lower in MG patients than controls, especially in MG patients with ophthalmoparesis (MG-O). MG-O exhibited a moderate negative correlation between EOM volume and disease duration. Multiple linear regression showed that disease duration and EOM status (ophthalmoparesis or not) account for 48.4% of EOM volume. DISCUSSION: Patients with MG show atrophy of the EOMs, especially those with ophthalmoparesis and long disease duration.

The levels of SAS and SDS in the experimental group were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group (p=0.00). The levels of SOD, MDA and CAT in the experimental group were obviously superior to those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (p=0.00). Conclusion: Dietary intervention combined with comprehensive exercise instruction is an effective treatment for elderly patients with DM, boasting a variety of benefits such as regulating patients' blood glucose levels, improving patient satisfaction, and ameliorating the level of oxidative stress in the body, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Quantity and Distribution of Muscle Spindles in Animal and Human Muscles.

Muscle spindles have unique anatomical characteristics that can be directly affected by the surrounding tissues under physiological and pathological conditions. Understanding their spatial distribution and density in different muscles is imperative to unravel the complexity of motor function. In the present study, the distribution and number/density of muscle spindles in human and animal muscles were reviewed. We identified 56 articles focusing on muscle spindle distribution; 13 articles focused on human muscles and 43 focused on animal muscles. The results demonstrate that spindles are located at the nerve entry points and along distributed vessels and they relate to the intramuscular connective tissue. Muscles' deep layers and middle segments are the main topographic distribution areas. Eleven articles on humans and thirty-three articles on animals (totaling forty-four articles) focusing on muscle spindle quantity and density were identified. Hand and head muscles, such as the pronator teres/medial pterygoid muscle/masseter/flexor digitorum, were most commonly studied in the human studies. For animals, whole-body musculature was studied. The present study summarized the spindle quantity in 77 human and 189 animal muscles. We identified well-studied muscles and any as-yet unfound data. The current data fail to clarify the relationship between quantity/density and muscle characteristics. The intricate distribution of the muscle spindles and their density and quantity throughout the body present some unique patterns or correlations, according to the current data. However, it remains unclear whether muscles with fine motor control have more muscle spindles since the study standards are inconsistent and data on numerous muscles are missing. This study provides a comprehensive and exhaustive approach for clinicians and researchers to determine muscle spindle status.

Anxiety prevalence was 21.0 % (95 % confidential interval (CI) 20.2 %, 21.8 %), while the prevalence of depressive symptoms was at 21.4 % (95 % CI 20.5 %, 22.2 %). 79.8 % (95 % CI 79.0 %, 80.6 %) of the hospital staff had allostatic overload. Poor sleep quality affected 50.4 % of participants, and 32.1 % experienced poor episodic memory. LIMITATIONS: This study utilized a convenience sampling approach, relying on an online survey as its data collection method. CONCLUSIONS: Hospital staff in China are facing a stressful environment with a high prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms, significant allostatic overload, poor sleep quality, and compromised episodic memory. It is imperative that local management and community structures enhance their support and care for these essential workers, enabling them to manage and withstand the stresses of their professional roles effectively.

Metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis of flavonoids biosynthesis mechanisms in mulberry fruit (Hongguo 2) under exogenous hormone treatments.

The mulberry fruit is prized for its superior nutrition value and abundant color due to its high flavone content. To enhance comprehension of flavone biogenesis induced by external hormones, we sprayed exogenous ethylene (ETH), indoleacetic acid (IAA) and spermine (SPM) on mulberry fruit (Hongguo 2) during its color-changed period. The levels of anthocyanin, titratable acid, soluble sugar and endogenous hormones were determined after hormone treatment, integrated transcriptome and metabolome analysis were performed for mechanism exploration. Our results indicated that exogenous ETH, SPM, and IAA play important roles in mulberry ripening, including acid reduction, sugar increase and flavonoid synthesis.
