For patients with acute basilar artery occlusion stroke with onset <6 hours, ASA grade ≤Ⅲ, and baseline mRS 0-2, tenecteplase bridging endovascular thrombectomy and direct thrombectomy achieve similar recanalization outcomes in the treatment of acute basilar artery occlusion stroke. The bridging approach reduces the number of thrombectomy attempts required, further improves cerebral blood flow perfusion, promotes neurological function and prognosis, while maintaining a safety profile comparable to that of direct thrombectomy.
Migraine is a highly disabling chronic disease that significantly affects patients’ quality of life. Conventional therapeutic drugs have limited application due to their insufficient efficacy, numerous contraindications and high risk of induce medication-overuse headache. With the in-depth research on the pathogenesis of migraine, the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor has emerged as a noval target for the treatment and prevention of migraine. As a noval CGRP receptor antagonist, rimegepant was approved for marketing in China in 2024. Reserach has shown that rimegepant can simultaneously reduce the frequency of migraine attacks and the medication dosage in the acute phase. It is currently the first and only drug that can be used for both acute and preventive treatment of migraine, which makes up for the shortcomings of conventional therapeutic drugs. This article systematically reviews the research progress of rimegepant in the treatment of migraine, including its mechanism of action, pharmacokinetic characteristics, clinical trial, and safety evaluation, aiming to provide a evidence for the clinial treatment of migraine.
To investigate the efficacy of tranexamic acid combined with phloroglucinol in fetal protection for threatened abortion and its impact on pregnancy outcome.
Patients with threatened abortion were divided into control group and treatment group according to the treatment methods. Both groups received routine fetal protection treatment. The control group was given intravenous infusion of tranexamic acid on the basis of routine treatment. The patients in the treatment group were additionally given intravenous infusion of phloroglucinol on the basis of the treatment of the control group. The clinical efficacy, remission time of clinical symptoms, uterine hemodynamics, sex hormone levels, pregnancy outcomes, and safety evaluation of the two groups were assessed.
A total of 82 cases were enrolled in this study, including 39 cases in the control group and 43 cases in the treatment group. The fetal protection success rates were 71.79% and 90.70% in the control and treatment groups, respectively, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The waist soreness relief time was (3.64±0.71) d in the control group and (3.26±0.62) d in the treatment group; the lower abdominal dragging pain relief time was (2.90±0.50) d and (2.65±0.53) d, respectively; and the vaginal bleeding relief time was (3.00±0.61) d and (2.72±0.59) d, respectively. After treatment, the resistance index (RI) was 0.83±0.16 and 0.76±0.14; the pulsatility index (PI) was 2.46±0.65 and 2.12±0.41, respectively; and the systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D) was 3.24±0.54 and 2.98±0.48 in the control and treatment groups, respectively.

The combined use of tranexamic acid and phloroglucinol in patients with threatened abortion can accelerate the relief of clinical symptoms, improve the success rate of fetal protection, and improve pregnancy outcomes, with no significant increase in adverse events observed.
To evaluate the effects of repeated-dose toxicity of the candidate drug HYH2002 injection in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, thereby providing a basis for its use in clinical trials.
A total of 120 SD rats (half male, half female) were randomly divided into four groups. Group 1 (vehicle control) received the blank formulation solution. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were administered HYH2002 injection at doses of 0.60, 3.00, and 9.00 mg·kg-1, respectively. The test article was administered once daily via tail vein infusion for 2 weeks, followed by a 2-week recovery period. Parameters including clinical observations, body weight, food consumption, body temperature, ophthalmological examinations, hematology, coagulation parameters, clinical biochemistry, and urinalysis were assessed at scheduled intervals. Necropsy, gross observations, and histopathological examinations were conducted at the end of the dosing period and the recovery period.
Animals in the 9.00 mg·kg-1 group exhibited decreases in body weight and food consumption. Hematological changes included decreases in red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), and lymphocyte count (Lymph), alongside increases in neutrophil count (Neut), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and reticulocyte count (Retic). Clinical biochemistry showed a decrease in albumin (Alb). These changes were reversible after the 2-week recovery period. No test article-related adverse effects were observed in the 0.60 and 3.00 mg·kg-1 groups. Under the conditions of this study, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was determined to be 3.00 mg·kg-1, which is 50 times the effective dose (0.06 mg·kg-1) in a rat model of gastric ulcer.
HYH2002 injection demonstrates a favorable safety profile within the anticipated therapeutic dose range, suggesting a low risk for clinical trials.

To explore and analyze the efficacy of propranolol combined with Radiopharmaceutical iodine-131 in treating hyperthyroidism, its impact on thyroid function.
Patients with hyperthyroidism were collected and assigned into treatment group and control group. The control group was treated with iodine-131 alone; the treatment group was treated with a combination of propranolol and iodine-131. The efficacy, anxiety (self-rating anxiety scale, SAS) scores and depression (self-rating depression scale, SDS) scores, thyroid hormone levels, cardiac function indicators, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.
A total of 160 patients were enrolled, with 80 cases in each group. There was no significant difference in efficacy between the treatment group and the control group (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the SAS score, SDS score, free triiodothyronine (FT3) level, free thyroxine (FT4) level, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) level, stroke volume (SV) level, heart rate level in both groups decreased, and the treatment group was lower than the control group (all P<0.05); the TSH level increased, and the treatment group was higher than the control group (P<0.05).
Compared with the use of iodine-131 alone, the combined treatment of propranolol and iodine-131 for hyperthyroidism can effectively improve thyroid function and cardiac function, and reduce anxiety and depression in patients.
In May 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted and granted priority review for the new drug application (NDA) for the oral human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) inhibitor Sevabertinib (Hyrnuo, BAY 2927088), which was subsequently approved on November 19, 2025. Sevabertinib is a highly selective and reversible HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor indicated for adult patients with HER2-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have received prior systemic therapy. The launch of Sevabertinib provides a new oral targeted option for the adjuvant treatment of NSCLC. Clinical studies have demonstrated promising antitumor activity across different patient populations, with particularly high objective response rates (ORR) in patients without prior HER2-targeted therapy. The most common adverse events include diarrhea, hepatotoxicity, and interstitial lung disease, which are generally manageable. This review summarizes the mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, safety profile, and drug interactions of Sevabertinib to support its rational clinical use.

Enhancing the effectiveness of drug regulation and optimizing resource allocation represent core strategies for advancing drug regulatory modernization. To evaluate the efficiency of drug safety regulation in China during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period (2021–2024), analyze the alignment between regulatory resource allocation and output outcomes, identify trends in efficiency changes and regional disparities, and provide recommendations for optimizing the drug regulatory system by bridging the achievements of the “14th Five-Year Plan” with the developmental needs of the “15th Five-Year Plan”.
Data on drug safety regulatory inputs and outputs from 2021 to 2024 were collected. The super-efficiency SBM (slack-based measure) model and Malmquist index were used to measure and analyze drug safety regulatory efficiency across nine provinces in seven administrative regions.
Significant interprovincial efficiency variations were observed. Liaoning maintained consistently high efficiency, Guangdong showed steady improvement, while Shanghai remained persistently low. Slack variable analysis revealed notable input redundancy and output insufficiency in Beijing and Shanghai. Dynamically, only Guangdong, Guangxi, and Shanxi achieved positive growth in total factor productivity (TFP), primarily driven by technological progress (TC>1). In contrast, regions such as Hunan and Guizhou experienced TFP decline due to decreased technical efficiency (EC<1), highlighting significant regional and technological imbalances in the process of improving regulatory effectiveness.
During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, the efficiency of drug safety regulation in China has seen overall improvement compared to the “13th Five-Year Plan” period. However, challenges such as regional imbalances, lagging pure technical efficiency, and diminishing returns on scale allocation remain. It is essential to advance the transformation of the drug regulatory system toward precision and intelligence, strengthen the development of regulatory talent, and ensure the alignment of regulatory resources with industrial distribution.
