    Immunoglobulin is recognized to be used for the treatment of various diseases, not only because it can serve as an alternative therapy against infections, but also because of its immunomodulatory effects. Appropriate use of immunoglobulins can save lives. However, its route of administration may lead to many adverse events and potential other adverse consequences. At present, intravenous immunoglobulin is the main clinical use in China, but there are more adverse events in the process of clinical use, and the patient compliance is not high. Due to this unmet clinical need, subcutaneous immunoglobulin(SCIg) has been developed abroad, which has been used in multiple clinical indications. However, SCIg in China is still in the early stage of exploration and research and development. Faced with the huge clinical needs in China, domestic blood product research and development companies have been encouraged to accelerate the research and development of SCIg drugs of different specifications and different indications to meet the treatment needs of domestic patients. This article reviewed the latest clinical research progress of SCIg in the treatment of primary immunodeficiency diseases, autoimmune neuromuscular diseases and other rare diseases, in order to provide new research and development ideas and suggestions for blood product research and development enterprises in China.

    5-methylcytosine(m5C) methylation is an important epigenetic regulation of RNA post-transcriptional modification. Evidence suggests that m5C methylation can regulate RNA stability, translation, transcription, nuclear output and cleavage, thereby mediating cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, stress response and other biological functions. The m5C methylation modification process is catalyzed by m5C methyltransferase, m5C demethyltransferase and m5C methylbinding enzyme. Abnormal expression of multiple methylation modifying enzymes has been found in various cancers and is used to predict patients' outcomes. This paper reviewed the regulatory effects of m5C methylation modification on tumors, and discussed the prospect of related research.

    In recent years, the incidence rate of atopic dermatitis(AD) has gradually increased, especially the incidence rate of AD and the proportion of severe patients in children. AD patients have obvious clinical itching symptoms, and are prone to recurrent episodes, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients and their families. In clinical practice, accurately understanding the changes in the severity of AD patients during the diagnosis and treatment is helpful to timely adjust clinical medication and treatment plans. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct standardized assessment and long-term management of the severity of skin lesions in AD patients. Currently, there are over 60 assessment tools for the severity of AD skin lesions in clinical practice, including those based on physician evaluations and patient subjective perceptions. This article systematically sorted out the usage methods, advantages and disadvantages of commonly used assessment tools based on the latest version of the national and international expert consensus, in order to facilitate clinical staff to better choose and use these assessment tools.

    Objective To evaluate the cost-utility of eculizumab versus supportive therapy in the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria(PNH). Methods From the perspective of whole Chinese society, a partitioned survival model was constructed to simulate the total cost, quality-adjusted life years(QALYs) and incremental costeffectiveness ratio(ICER) of patients over a lifetime(40 years) with a discount rate of 5%. One-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were used to verify the robustness of the model. Results The base-case results showed that compared with supportive therapy, patients who used eculizumab could obtaine 8.50 more QALYs and an incremental cost of 639 784 CNY, the ICER was 75 297 CNY/QALY, which was lower than the GDP per capita in 2023. The oneway sensitivity analysis showed that the annual spontaneous remission rate had the most significant impact on the final result. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed that the probability of cost-effective of eculizumab was 99.98% when the willingness-to-pay threshold was 3 times of GDP per capital. Conclusion From the perspective of the Chinese society, eculizumab was a cost-effective treatment regimen compared to supportive therapy in the treatment of PNH patients.

    Angiogenesis plays a key role in the growth, local invasion and distant metastasis of a variety of solid tumors. At present, anti-angiogenesis drugs can be divided into three types: small-molecule multi-target, macromolecule single-target and endogenous pan-target angiogenesis inhibitors. Among them, small molecule antiangiogenesis inhibitors mainly inhibit tumor angiogenesis by simultaneously or sequentially targeting multiple growth factors/pathways, and can effectively inhibit drug resistance generated by tumor cells. At the same time, small molecule anti-angiogenesis inhibitors have the advantages of good tissue permeability and convenient administration. At present, it has been widely used in the combination therapy of various solid tumors. This paper reviewed the targeted therapy of small molecule anti-angiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors and their clinical progress and safety in multiple solid tumors.

    The holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) pays more attention to the ''sick person'', that is ''patient-centered diagnosis and treatment strategies''. The most recent iteration of the Measures for the Administration of Drug Registration points out that the therapeutic evaluation of TCM should select the indicators that align with the clinical principles and showcase its unique functional characteristics and advantages. At the same time, under the continuous promotion of modern evaluation systems, there has been a notable increase in innovative clinical trial methods of TCM. There is a growing trend towards utilizing more flexible and expedited clinical trial designs throughout the drug product lifecycle to enhance efficiency of the trials based on rational utilization. This paper took the clinical research of Di'ao Xinxuekang capsule in the treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris as an example, introducing the practical exploration of combining patient-centered clinical research approach with adaptive design, providing useful reference for the evaluation of TCM efficacy.

    Objective To explore the correlation between blood magnesium level in patients with maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) and cardiovascular events and all-cause death. Methods The clinical data of 122 patients treated with MHD in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into high magnesium group(blood magnesium≥0.93 mmol/L, n=67) and low magnesium group(blood magnesium< 0.93 mmol/L, n=55) according to the median blood magnesium level. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to compare the cumulative survival rate of the two groups, and Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of allcause death. Results The levels of serum albumin, prealbumin, magnesium, phosphorus and C-reactive protein were significantly different between the two groups(P<0.05). The incidence of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in low magnesium group were higher than those in high magnesium group(P<0.05). The cumulative survival rate of low magnesium group was significantly lower than that of high magnesium group(P<0.01). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that hypomagnesium was a risk factor for cardiovascular events and all-cause death(P<0.01). After multifactor correction, hypomagnesium was an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events, but not an independent risk factor for all-cause death(P>0.05). Conclusion MHD patients with low blood magnesium levels have a higher incidence of cardiovascular events and an increased risk of all-cause death.

    Chronic bronchitis(CB) is a widespread respiratory disease, and its core pathogenesis revolves around the inflammatory response. A vicious cycle is formed between this inflammatory response and oxidative stress, leading to a series of complex pathological changes such as excessive mucus secretion, airway surface dehydration, and airway fibrosis remodeling. Among them, the molecular mechanisms are interrelated and jointly promote the development of the disease. This article comprehensively analyzed the role of inflammatory response in CB and its various pathological manifestations, aiming to provide improved ideas for existing treatment methods, stimulated the development of new drugs, and effectively transform basic scientific research results into clinical practice, so as to bring more effective treatment strategies for CB patients.

    Iron deficiency affects about a third of the global population and is particularly common in the elderly, women and those with certain chronic conditions. Iron deficiency has adverse effects on coronary artery disease, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and patients undergoing cardiac surgery, with approximately 50% of patients with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension having iron deficiency. The widespread use of antithrombotic drugs increases the risk of bleeding, which in turn increases the incidence of hemorrhage-related iron deficiency anemia. Recent studies have shown that iron supplementation can significantly improve quality of life and readmission rates in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction. However, the mechanism of its action in various cardiovascular diseases is still unclear. Based on the evidence of the benefits of iron supplementation in various cardiovascular diseases, this article reviewed the mechanism and potential benefits of iron supplementation in various cardiovascular diseases.

    Objective To explore the role and existing problems of centralized drug procurement policies in balancing medical, pharmaceutical, and medical insurance costs, ensuring safe and rational use of drugs by the public, and promoting the healthy development of the pharmaceutical industry. Method The relevant policies, literature, cases, and data were analyzed, and the impact and response of policies on various stakeholders and their reactions were interpreted from multiple dimensions. Result The policy of centralized drug procurement was formed during the period of China's economic marketization reform and medical and health system reform. While promoting the construction of the drug supply guarantee system, the policy has promoted the reform of the compensation mechanism of public hospitals and the medical service prices, promoted the balance of medical insurance funds and the modernization of the medical and health governance system. At present, centralized drug procurement has problems in policy implementation, quality improvement and expansion, slow adjustment of medical service prices, and increased difficulty in balancing the interests of the public, medicine, medical development, and fund security. It is necessary to improve the unified and efficient policy linkage and management coordination mechanism of medical insurance, healthcare, and medicine, and promote "value medicine". Conclusion The policy of centralized drug procurement and the reforms related to medicine, healthcare, and medical insurance are mutually causal and synergistic, promoting the modernization process of the governance system and governance capacity of the medicine, healthcare, and medical insurance.

    Objective To explore the clinical manifestations and genotype characteristics of Diamond-Blackfan anemia(DBA) caused by mutations in the ribosomal protein L35A(RPL35A) gene(RPL35A-DBA)in children. Method Relevant literature on pediatric RPL35A-DBA with relatively complete data in the past 15 years at home and abroad was collected to summarize, compare, and analyze the clinical manifestations, gene sequencing results, and drug efficacy of these cases. Result A total of 50 cases of RPL35A-DBA in children were collected. The main characteristics of pediatric RPL35A-DBA were as follows. Age and gender: 90% of cases started within 1 year old, with a median onset age of 3 months. The diagnosis age was relatively late, with an average of 2 years old. There was no significant difference in the incidence rate between men and women(P>0.05). Hematopoietic disorders: the main manifestation was moderate to severe anemia, with 54%(27/50) relied on blood transfusion, and most(68%, 34/50) accompanied by granulocytopenia, while platelet levels were normal. Gene mutation: the phenotype of the large deletion type(n=22) was more severe than that of the non-large deletion type(n=28), and the incidence of hematopoietic system abnormalities, immune deficiency, intellectual disability, craniofacial deformity, and skeletal dysplasia were significantly increased(P<0.05). Drug therapy: the main treatment drug was glucocorticoid(GC), and component blood transfusion combined with iron removal therapy should be given as appropriate. If necessary, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT) should be performed. Conclusion RPL35A-DBA is more common in children with early onset after birth, and the degree of gene deficiency is closely related to the severity of clinical manifestations. For some cases, GC is effective, but the minimum maintenance dose is required, and allo-HSCT should be performed for severe cases. For suspected cases of RPL35A-DBA, timely genetic testing should be conducted to aid in early diagnosis and effective clinical intervention.

    Objective To investigate the effects of Mashe Anjin pill combined with acetylcysteine nebulization inhalation therapy on sputum viscosity and oxygen metabolism in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD). Methods A total of 120 AECOPD patients admitted to our hospital from July 2021 to October 2023 were included and randomly divided into western medicine group and combination group by random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. The western medicine group was given acetylcysteine nebulization inhalation on the basis of conventional treatment, while the combination group was given oral administration of Mashe Anjin pill based on western medicine group. Both groups received continuous treatment for 14 days. The changes in sputum viscosity, blood gas analysis indexes[partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2), arterial oxygen pressure(PaO2) and oxygen saturation(SaO2)], pulmonary ventilation function indicators[forced vital capacity(FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1) and FEV1/FVC] in both groups were measured and recorded before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacy of each group was observed and compared. Results After treatment, the total effective rate of the western medicine group was lower than the combination group(75.00% vs 93.33%, P<0.05). The viscosity of sputum in both groups improved, and the improvement degree in the combination group was obviously better than that in the western medicine group(P<0.05). After treatment, the SaO2 and PaO2 in both groups were increased than before treatment(P<0.05), while the PaCO2 was decreased(P<0.05), and the SaO2 and PaO2 in the combination group were higher than the western medicine group(P<0.05), while the PaCO2 was lower than the western medicine group(P< 0.05). After treatment, the FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC of both groups were increased than before treatment(P<0.05), and the combination group were higher than the western medicine group(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion The combination of Mashe Anjin pill and acetylcysteine nebulization inhalation can effectively reduce sputum viscosity, improve oxygen metabolism and lung ventilation function, and improve clinical efficacy in AECOPD patients.
