    Methods

    Forty-eight female non-pregnant KM mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, positive control group and experimental -L, -M, -H groups. Except for the blank group, the remaining groups were gavaged with estradiol valerate to establish the PD mouse model. Starting from the 7th day, the blank group and the model group were gavaged with equal volumes of distilled water in the morning, the positive control group was administered 120 mg·kg-1 of ibuprofen solution by gastric lavage, while the low, medium, and high dose experimental groups were gavaged with 22, 44 and 88 mg·kg-1 of LCEO, respectively, for 5 consecutive days. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the levels of oxytocin (OT) and prostaglandin F (PGF) in mice uterine. Using the oxytocin-induced rat isolated uterine contraction model, the study explored the mechanism of LCEO in relaxing uterine smooth muscle through preincubation with different blocking agents (Indomethacin, phentolamine mesylate, propranolol hydrochloride, atropine sulfate, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, ranitidine hydrochloride and nifedipine).

    Results

    The OT contents in the blank group, model group, positive control group and experimental -L, -M, -H groups were (3.57±0.81), (5.54±0.60), (4.63±0.75), (4.15±0.76), (4.04±1.19) and (3.67±0.66) pg·mg-1; the PGF contents were (1.22±0.38), (2.53±0.45), (1.84±0.52), (1.30±0.31), (1.21±0.35) and (0.48±0.15) pg·mg-1, respectively. The above indexes in the model group were compared with the experimental -L, -M, -H and blank, positive control groups, there were statistically significant differences in all comparisons (P<0.01, P<0.05). After preincubation with indomethacin, phentolamine mesylate, and atropine sulfate, the relaxant effect on uterine smooth muscle of LCEO was significantly weakened.

The linear range spanned from 0.98 to 6.00×104 ng·mL-1, with a limit of quantitation ranging from 0.92 to 11.72 ng·mL-1, and the RSD values for intra-day and inter-day precision as well as recovery were all below 15%. Amongst the examined tissues, ileum tissue exhibited the highest levels of these active components, followed by gastric tissue. Iridoid components demonstrated extensive distribution across various tissues. The diterpenoid constituent crocetin was predominantly found in the liver and brain, while crocin Ⅱ showed higher distribution in the colon.

    Conclusion

    The method exhibits high specificity, excellent sensitivity, reproducibility, and stability. Moreover, the matrix effect can be controlled effectively, rendering it suitable for analyzing Gardenia jasminoides Ellis in complex matrices. The intestine is the major tissue for the distribution of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, which may be an important part for its efficacy. Furthermore, the extensive pharmacological effects of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis may be related to the component tendency to different tissues.

    Objective

    To establish a pharmacodynamic model of sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) in order to evaluate the efficacy characteristics of the drugs.

    Methods

    A model-based meta-analysis was used. By searching randomized controlled trials of SGLT-2i monotherapy in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in databases, the change in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline was used as the efficacy indicator. The pharmacodynamic models of SGLT-2i and placebo were constructed, and the covariates were screened to determine the factors affecting the drug’s efficacy.

    Results

    A total of 39 studies were included, involving 96 trial groups, 8 534 participants, and 13 drugs (dapagliflozin, canagliflozin, empagliflozin, ipragliflozin, luseogliflozin, ertuglilfozin, enavogliflozin, henagliflozin, licogliflozin, sotagliflozin, bexagliflozin, janagliflozin and tofogliflozin). The time-effect relationships of the drug group and the placebo group were consistent with the Emax model, and fasting plasma glucose baseline had an effect on the pharmacodynamic parameters of SGLT-2i.

    Conclusion

    The final model can describe the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the drug and placebo groups, and there is a significant association between FPB baseline and drug efficacy.

    Objective

    To analyze iron death genes and related pathogenesis in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) based on bioinformatics, and to screen potential traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) active ingredients for treating CTEPH through iron death related pathways.

    Methods

    The differentially expressed genes in dataset GSE130391 were analyzed by R language, and the genes related to iron death were obtained from FerrDB database. The intersection of the two genes was selected, and the intersection genes were enriched by Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) and gene ontology (GO). The intersection genes were analyzed by random forest algorithm, and the key genes were obtained. The immune infiltration analysis of GSE130391 was performed by cibesort algorithm. Potential TCM active ingredients were screened by cMAP database, and the binding stability and affinity of TCM active ingredients and key targets were analyzed by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation.

    Results

    A total of 878 DEGs were obtained, 264 iron death related genes and 14 intersection genes were obtained from FerrDB database. There were 630 items in GO enrichment analysis, and 13 pathways were enriched by KEGG. Three key genes were obtained by random forest algorithm. Immunoinfiltration analysis showed that dendritic cells and mast cells were inhibited in CTEPH group, and immunoinfiltration correlation showed that mast cells were strongly correlated with M1 macrophages, M1 macrophages were strongly correlated with T cells, and the key gene arachidonic acid 12-lipoxygenase 12R type (ALOX12B) was positively correlated with M2 macrophages. Cytokine signal transduction inhibitor 1 (SOCS1) was negatively correlated with M2-type macrophages. The active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine were ononanthine and rotensin screened in cMAP database. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation analysis showed that rotensin and ALOX12B had stable binding energy and strong affinity.

    Conclusion

    The therapeutic targets related to iron death in CTEPH are found by bioinformatics method and the active components of Chinese medicine that can be targeted for intervention are screened.

    Bireociclib, a novel selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor, demonstrates significant therapeutic benefits in hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. As a monotherapy in later-line treatment, it substantially improves objective response rate (ORR), prolongs median progression-free survival (PFS), and extends median overall survival (OS). When combined with fulvestrant as a second-line therapy, it significantly delays disease progression and reduces mortality risk. Currently, marketing authorization applications for Bireociclib monotherapy in breast cancer and its combination with fulvestrant for advanced breast cancer have been submitted to National Medical Products Administration. The phase Ⅲ clinical trial investigating its first-line use in combination with letrozole/anastrozole is nearing completion. This article comprehensively reviews Bireociclib’s molecular structure, pharmacodynamic properties, pharmacokinetic characteristics, etc.

    Parkinson’s disease (PD), a highly disabling neurodegenerative disorder, poses significant clinical challenges in both prevention and therapeutic intervention. Butylphthalide (NBP), a small-molecule compound derived from celery seeds, has garnered considerable attention due to its remarkable neuroprotective properties. This article systematically reviews recent studies, demonstrating that NBP not only ameliorates motor and non-motor symptoms in PD patients but also slows disease progression through modulation of neuroinflammation and mitochondrial function. By integrating clinical evidence with advances in molecular mechanism research, it provides a scientific foundation for in-depth investigation of NBP-based PD management and development of novel therapeutics.

    Surgery, chemoradiotherapy are the conventional methods of clinical treatment of tumor, due to adverse reactions, drug resistance and other problems, the prognosis and survival are poor. Due to its characteristics of stable action with little toxic side effects and multi-channel and multi-target comprehensive regulation, traditional Chinese medicine has been widely concerned and recognized in anti-tumor. Autophagy and apoptosis are two ways of programmed cell death, and the interaction between autophagy and apoptosis is crucial to the overall fate of cancer cells. The balance between autophagy and apoptosis contains the theory of Yin and Yang in traditional Chinese medicine, and has become an effective strategy for clinical treatment of cancer. This study summarized the mechanism of the signaling pathway involved in the regulation of autophagy and apoptosis balance and thus effectively inhibited the pathological process of tumors, in order to provide pharmacological basis and scientific reference for the development and clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine anti-tumor drugs.

    This study examines the practical value of regulatory science action plans in identifying strategic regulatory trends. By analyzing real-world research initiatives from leading international drug regulatory agencies through three dimensions—data platform development, regulatory science implementation, and international harmonization—this paper provides critical references for researchers and regulatory practitioners. Internationally, regulatory authorities have established robust data platforms such as Sentinel, DARWIN EU, and MID-NET. Collaborative partnerships with academic institutions have been formed to advance frontier research topics, while concerted efforts toward international coordination aim to standardize real-world evidence (RWE) applications. Current technical priorities focus on innovations in data infrastructure and research paradigms, particularly methodological advancements in bias mitigation and causal inference frameworks. The expanding application of RWE across the entire drug lifecycle marks a pivotal trend in global pharmaceutical regulation. These developments offer strategic insights for China to accelerate the construction of integrated data platforms and cultivate an innovation-driven regulatory ecosystem.
