    Objective

    To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of polymyxin B injection combined with sitafloxacin tablets in the treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) caused by extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

    Methods

    Patients with pandrug-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa (PDR-PA) pneumonia admitted to our hospital were enrolled. According to treatment regimen, patients were divided into control group and treatment group. Patients in the control group received polymyxin B injection at an initial dose of 2.0-2.5 mg·kg-1, followed by a maintenance dose of 1.25-1.5 mg·kg-1 every 12 h after the loading dose. Patients in the treatment group received additional oral sitafloxacin tablets at 50-100 mg twice daily on the basis of the above regimen. The duration of antibacterial treatment for both groups was 7 days in principle, with a maximum of 14 days. Clinical efficacy, bacterial clearance rate, inflammatory markers, arterial blood gas and oxygenation parameters, prognosis, and safety profiles were compared between two groups.

    Objective

    To explore the intervention effect of jiedu dihuang decoction on the inflammatory microenvironment of colon cancer by regulating mitophagy and nucleotide - binding oligomerization domain (NOD) like receptor hot protein domain-related protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome.

    Methods

    The animal model was successfully replicated by intraperitoneal injection of azoxymethane (AOM) combined with feeding dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). The animals were randomly divided into A: control group, B: model group, C, D, E: Jiedu Dihuang Decoction low, medium and high dose group, F: positive drug group. Ninety male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups of 15 mice each, and all groups were treated continuously for 10 weeks. The pathological changes of rectal tissue were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the expression site and intensity of PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), Parkinson’s disease protein (Parkin) and B-cell lymphoma-2-interacting myosin-like coiled-coil protein 1 (Beclin1) in colon tissue. The expression of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC) and Caspase-1 mRNA in rectum was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The protein expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, Beclin1, NLRP3, ASC and Caspase-1 were detected by Western blotting (WB). The ratio of helper T cell 1 (Th1) to helper T cell 2 (Th2) was detected by flow cytometry. The levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-12 (IL-12), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa).

    Objective

    To establish a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for determining the plasma concentration of the active component polymyxin E in patients treated with colistimethate sodium.

    Methods

    Polymyxin B1 was used as an internal standard, and solid phase extraction (SPE) was employed to process the samples. The chromatographic column was a Kinetex C18 (3 mm×100 mm, 2.6 μm). Mobile phase A was an aqueous solution containing 0.1% formic acid and 5 mmol·L-1 ammonium acetate, and mobile phase B was a methanol solution containing 0.1% formic acid. Gradient elution was performed at a flow rate of 0.5 mL·min-1. An electrospray ionization (ESI) source was used with positive ion multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) for detection. The ion pairs for quantitative analysis were as follows: m/z 585.6→241.1 (polymyxin E1), m/z 578.6→227.2 (polymyxin E2), and m/z 602.6→101.2 (polymyxin B1). The selectivity, standard curve, residues, precision and accuracy, extraction recovery rate, matrix effect and stability of the method were investigated, and the plasma concentrations of polymyxin E1 and E2 in patients treated with colistimethate sodium were measured.

    Results

    The linear relationships of polymyxin E1 and E2 concentrations were good within the ranges of 0.02–3.86 μg·mL-1 and 0.03–5.65 μg·mL-1, respectively. The lower limits of quantification (LLOQ) for polymyxin E1 and E2 were 0.02 μg·mL-1 and 0.03 μg·mL-1, respectively. The standard curve equations for polymyxin E1 and E2 are Y=4.55×10-1X-2.92×10-2 (r=0.994 2)、Y=8.61×10-1X-1.38×10-2 (r=0.996 4), respectively. The within-day and day-to-day precision, accuracy, extraction recovery, matrix effects, and stability of polymyxin E1 and E2 all met the methodological requirements. Using this method, the AUC of polymyxin E in 26 patients receiving colistimethate sodium ranged from 28.42 to 317.51 μg·mL-1.

    Conclusion

    This method is accurate, sensitive, rapid, and stable, and can be used for the determination of the plasma concentrations of polymyxin E1 and E2 in human plasma.

    Objective

    To investigate the etiological factors and clinical characteristics of statin-associated myopathy in elderly patients.

    Methods

    A retrospective analysis was performed on elderly patients with statina-ssociated myopathy who were treated in the internal medicine department of our hospital from January 2017 to June 2024. Data including etiology, clinical manifestations, treatment process and prognosis were collected and analyzed.

    Results

    A total of 21 elderly patients with statina-ssociated myopathy were enrolled, including 13 males and 8 females, with an average age of (77.33±9.61) years. Among them, 5 patients were diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis. According to the type of statin taken, patients were divided into 5 groups: atorvastatin group, rosuvastatin group, simvastatin group, pitavastatin group and Xuezhikang group. All patients received monotherapy without overlapping or combined use of different statins. The duration of statin therapy at onset ranged from 2 weeks to 10 years. Precipitating factors included infection, concomitant medications, stress and exercise. Among them, 12 cases were related to infection (9 pneumonia, 2 urinary tract infections, 1 intestinal infection), and 2 cases were associated with concomitant medications (quetiapine and cyclosporine A, respectively). Most patients had multiple comorbidities: hypertension in 90.48% (19 cases/21 cases), type 2 diabetes mellitus in 66.67% (14 cases/21 cases), coronary heart disease in 47.62% (10 cases/21 cases), and chronic kidney disease in 23.81% (5 cases/21 cases). Patients were on multiple concomitant medications, with a mean of 6 drugs used. Acute kidney injury occurred in 4 patients with myopathy and in 5 patients with rhabdomyolysis. After comprehensive treatment including statin discontinuation, fluid replacement, urine alkalinization and blood purification, all patients improved and no deaths occurred. Serum creatinine in patients with acute kidney injury returned to normal or baseline levels before onset.

    Conclusion

    Elderly patients with acute infection, concomitant medications and multiple comorbidities should be closely monitored for the risk of statinassociated myopathy or rhabdomyolysis. Acute kidney injury is common in such elderly patients. Early discontinuation of statins and comprehensive treatment including symptomatic fluid infusion and blood purification can significantly improve patient prognosis.

    Objective

    To analyze the role mechanism of xuesaitong injection (lyophilized) in the treatment of cerebral infarction by network pharmacology and molecular docking technology.

    Methods

    The intersection targets of five important active ingredients (Ginsenoside Rg1, Ginsenoside Rb1, Ginsenoside Re, Notoginsenoside R1, Ginsenoside Rd) in xuesaitong injection (lyophilized) and acute cerebral infarction were screened by database, and the target action network was constructed. Gene ontology (GO) pathway analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed by using digital-audio-video internet devince (DAVID) database, and molecular docking verification was performed.

    Results

    A total of 61 non-redundant targets were screened for Panax notoginseng saponins, and 5 737 non-redundant targets were identified for cerebral infarction. The intersection of three databases yielded 64 common targets. After intersecting the drug targets with the disease targets, two overlapping targets were obtained: protein kinase C beta (PRKCB) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Intersection with the non-redundant disease targets yielded 51 overlapping targets. Based on network topology parameters and the intersection target results, caspase-3 (CASP3), TNF, nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 (NFKB1), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), tumor protein p53 (TP53), and PRKCB were selected for subsequent molecular docking. The results of GO functional enrichment analysis showed that in terms of biological processes, the target genes were mainly involved in the positive regulation of gene expression, the negative regulation of apoptosis process, and the positive regulation of miRNA transcription. In terms of cell components, the target genes were mainly located in extracellular space, extracellular region, blood, axon and protein complex. In terms of molecular function, the target proteins mainly had the same protein binding, protease binding, Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) protein binding and other functions, and the enrichment results were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The results of KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that the potential targets of xuesaitong injection (lyophilized) in the treatment of cerebral infarction were enriched in advanced glycation end products-receptor for advanced glycation end products (AGE-RAGE) signaling pathway, lipid and atherosclerosis, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, proteoglycans in cancer, MAPK signaling pathway, thyroid hormone signaling pathway, apoptosis pathway and other signaling pathways, and the enrichment results were statistically significant (P<0.05). The results of molecular docking displayed that the main active ingredients of xuesaitong injection (lyophilized) had good binding ability with the core target protein, among which Ginsenoside Rg1 had the lowest binding energy with TNF, and CASP3, PRKCB showed strong binding with various active ingredients.

    Conclusion

    Xuesaitong injection (lyophilized) may play a multi-target comprehensive role in the treatment of cerebral infarction by regulating CASP3, TNF, NFKB1, MMP9, TP53, PRKCB and other key targets, acting on pathways such as apoptosis, inflammation and atherosclerosis.

    Objective

    To systematically elucidate the mechanism of action of Qizhi hypoglycemic tablets (QZT) in treating diabetic vascular complications, this study adopted the methods of network pharmacology and molecular docking.

    Methods

    Active ingredients and their corresponding targets of QZT were retrieved from traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCMSP) and other databases. Disease targets related to diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, and peripheral neuropathy were collected from The human gene database (GeneCards) and online mendelian inheritance in man (OMIM). Overlapping targets between drugs and diseases were identified, and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. Gene ontology (GO) and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed using the database for annotation, visualization, and integrated discovery (DAVID). Molecular docking was used to validate the binding interactions between key active components and core targets.

    Results

    A total of 116 active ingredients, 2 245 disease-related targets, and 354 common targets were obtained. Core targets such as proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase (SRC), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), and RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1) were identified. GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the therapeutic effects of QZT were primarily mediated through key pathways including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway (PI3K-Akt) and advanced glycation end products-receptor for advanced glycation end products signaling pathway (AGE-RAGE). Molecular docking confirmed stable binding of core components including apigenin, baicalein, and 4′,7-dihydroxyflavanone (DFV) to the core targets.

    Conclusion

    This study preliminarily clarifies the multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway mechanism of QZT against diabetic vascular complications, providing a theoretical basis for its clinical application and further investigation.

The search period for all was from the establishment of the database to May 2024. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0.

    Results

    A total of 12 RCTs were included, involving a total of 1 408 patients. Meta-analysis showed that the total effective rate of levocarnitine was 89.53% (556 cases/621 cases), which was significantly higher than that [83.98% (519 cases/618 cases)]of the control group [OR=1.83, 95% CI (1.10~3.06), P<0.05]; the incidence of adverse drug reactions of levocarnitine and the control group was 2.47% (9 cases/364 cases) and 3.31% (12 cases/362 cases) with no statistically significant difference [OR=0.83, 95% CI (0.17~4.18), P>0.05]. The creatine kinase (CK) levels of L-carnitine group and the control group were(203.04±34.59) and (238.28±33.97)U·L-1, respectvely [OR=-26.81, 95% CI (-47.43~-6.18), P<0.01]; the creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) levels were (21.64±10.76) and (26.71±14.48)U·L-1, respectvely [OR=-4.19, 95% CI (-6.70~-1.67), P<0.001]were significantly better than those of . There was no statistically significant difference in the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnⅠ) of L-carnitine compared with the control group (all P>0.05).

    Conclusion

    The effectiveness of levocarnitine in the treatment of myocardial damage is relatively good, and there are no obvious adverse reactions.

    Gastrointestinal tumors, as clinically prevalent and highly malignant cancers, are closely associated with oxidative stress in their development. By inducing imbalances in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, oxidative stress promotes tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and drug resistance, making it a key target in contemporary cancer prevention and treatment research. In recent years, individual components of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have demonstrated significant potential in regulating oxidative stress due to their well-defined structures, diverse actions, and multi-target regulatory properties. This systematic review summarizes recent advances in how various TCM monomeric components inhibit gastrointestinal tumor cell proliferation and migration, induce apoptosis, and modulate the tumor microenvironment through antioxidant mechanisms. It focuses on analyzing key signaling pathways and molecular targets involved, such as nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB). Integrating existing experimental evidence and partial clinical data, this review further reveals the potential application value of TCM monomers in the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal tumors, while identifying current research challenges. It aims to provide theoretical foundations and directional references for basic research and new drug development in this field.
