    Abstract Objectives: Identifying patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) who are prone to developing hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTGP) is essential for facilitating preventative interventions. This research aims to explore which part of the HTG patients is easy to develop into HTGP.
    Materials and methods: An observational cohort study was conducted in patients with serum triglycerides (TGs) ≥ 5.65 mmol/L. Propensity score matching (PSM) and logistic regression were used to adjust for potential confounding factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to evaluate the predictive potential for HTGP.
    Results: A total of 283 patients were included finally with a PSM cohort consisting of 55 HTGP matched with 77 non-HTGP. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, fatty liver (FL) (odds ratio, 2.535; P = 0.019) showed statistically significant association with HTGP, whereas statin use was correlated with a lower rate of HTGP (odds ratio, 0.203; P = 0.009). Finally, the ROC analysis showed that the TGs threshold thought to be causal of HTGP in patients with FL was significantly lower (9.31 vs 14.67 mmol/L) than that in patients without FL.
    Conclusions: Although with lower TGs levels, patients with FL are much more prone to generate HTGP, and our findings suggest a potential role of statin as protective agents against HTGP.

    Abstract Desensitization therapy for iodinated contrast media (ICM) aims to induce drug tolerance in patients with a history of severe allergic reactions to ICM in a short time. Currently, there is no widely accepted consensus on inducing desensitization to avoid severe allergic responses to ICM. The clinically successful cases have shown that prophylactic use of antihistamines and glucocorticoids can increase the desensitization effect; repeatedly desensitizing and gradually increasing the dose can be conducive to establishing better tolerance to ICM. Most desensitization effects, including stress resistance, can endure 24-48 h. The mechanisms of desensitization therapy remain unclear, the initial dose, administration interval and dose gradient are largely based on clinical experiences and the reaction of patients. This article reviews the current research progress on ICM-related allergies, desensitization methods and related mechanisms, as well as the benefits and hazards of desensitization, to provide a reference for desensitization treatment of hypersensitivity to ICM .

    Abstract Background: Flutamide and bicalutamide are indicated for the management of prostate metastatic carcinoma. The current study evaluated the adverse drug reactions related to flutamide and bicalutamide in a real-world setting.
    Methods: To quantify the signals of flutamide and bicalutamide associated adverse events (AEs), we used the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) for this pharmacovigilance study using established pharmacovigilance methods.
    Results: A total of 2711 AEs of flutamide were investigated as the primary suspected; 522 AEs were related to prostate cancer. A total of 4459 AEs were investigated as the primary suspected for bicalutamide; 2251 AEs were related to prostate cancer. The analysis demonstrated 29 signals for flutamide and 84 for bicalutamide. Liver function test was the most common AEs for flutamide, and malignant neoplasm progression was the most common for bicalutamide. The signal strength of Dementia Alzheimer's type was 26.53 (17.89-39.35) and 26.33 (607.34), which had the highest strength for flutamide. Anti-androgen withdrawal syndrome exhibited the strongest signal for bicalutamide. Generating awareness of rare AEs that were not listed on the label is critical.
    Conclusions: The analysis of the AE signals may provide support for prescribing flutamide and bicalutamide.

    Abstract Background: Voriconazole (VRCZ) is commonly used as oral and intravenous (IV) formulations. Few studies have comprehensively analysed the variation factors for the weight-corrected VRCZ serum concentration/dose (C/D) ratio based on the administration route. We retrospectively investigated the risk factors that influence the VRCZ C/D ratio in patients treated with oral or IV formulations.
    Methods: A total of 325 patients were divided into two groups (IV and oral groups). Propensity score matching was performed and linear regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors that affect the VRCZ C/D ratio according to the administration route. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were also used to assess the predictive potential for VRCZ trough concentration >5 µg/mL.
    Results: The VRCZ C/D ratio in the oral group was significantly lower than that in the IV group (p<0.001). Propensity score matching resulted in 65 in the IV group matched with 65 in the oral group. Multivariate analysis showed that age (p=0.039), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (p=0.016) and total bilirubin (TBIL) (p=0.041) levels were independent influencing factors of the VRCZ C/D ratio in the oral group. ROC curves showed that the predicted probability of combined age, AST and TBIL had maximal area under the curve (AUC) of 0.901 for VRCZ trough level >5 µg/mL. Meanwhile, the ratio of TBIL (p=0.005) and single dose (p=0.015) were independent factors in the IV group with ROC
    Conclusions: To obtain optimal VRCZ efficacy and safety, dose adjustment is required based on multiple factors that may cause the observed difference in the VRCZ C/D ratio and trough levels between oral and IV administration.

    Abstract Abstract Purpose This study aimed at evaluating the clinical impact of full intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), hybrid IMRT (H-IMRT) and hybrid volumetric-modulated arc therapy (H-VMAT) for early-stage breast cancer with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB), in terms of plan quality and second cancer risk (SCR). Methods Three different plans were designed in full IMRT, hybrid IMRT, and hybrid VMAT for each of twenty patients with early-stage breast cancer. Target quality, organs at risk (OARs) sparing, and SCR were compared among the three plans for each case. Results In compared with H-IMRT, IMRT plans showed deterioration in terms of D 2% of SIB, V 10 of ipsilateral lung, and excess absolute risk (EAR) to contralateral lung (C-Lung) and esophagus. D 2% and the homogeneity index (HI) of SIB, V5 of ipsilateral lung (I-Lung), the D mean of the esophagus, the EAR to C-Lung and the esophagus with hybrid VMAT dramatically increased by 0.63%, 10%, 17.99%, 149.27%, 230.41%, and 135.29%, respectively (p = 0.024; 0.025; 0.046; 0.011; 0.000; 0.014). D mean of the heart, the EAR to contralateral breast (C-Breast) and C-Lung by full IMRT was significantly decreased in comparison to the H-VMAT (4.67%, p = 0.033, 26.76%, p = 0.018; 48.05%, p = 0.036). Conclusion The results confirmed that H-IMRT could achieve better target quality and OARs sparing than IMRT and H-VMAT for SIB radiotherapy of early-stage right breast cancer. H-IMRT was the best treatment option, while H-VMAT performed the worst among the three plans in terms of SCR to peripheral OARs.

    Abstract Background: Mounting evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to lupus nephritis (LN) pathogenesis. Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (MPC1) and mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 2 (MPC2) mediating pyruvate transport from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial matrix, determines the cell survival and cellular energy supply. Here, we aimed to investigate the association of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier expression with the clinical and histological features in LN.
    Methods: Patients with biopsy-proven proliferative LN (class III and class IV, n=18) and membranous LN (class V, n=18) were included. Expression of MPC1 and MPC2 were examined by immunohistochemistry. MPC protein levels in the two groups were evaluated by the Student's
    Results: Both MPC1 and MPC2 were exclusively expressed in renal tubules of enrolled LN. Significantly lower MPC1 and MPC2 were observed in patients with proliferative LN compared to membranous LN. In addition, the MPC1 and MPC2 were negatively correlated with SLEDAI-2K score, renal function, and renal pathology activity index.
    Conclusion: Both MPC1 and MPC2 were localized in renal tubules, and decreased MPC content was more pronounced in proliferative LN than membranous LN. MPC levels were significantly correlated with renal functions and renal pathology activity.

    Abstract Flutamide-induced haemolytic anaemia is rare but can be fatal. We describe the case of an 88-year-old man with prostatic carcinoma who, in addition to clinically obvious jaundice, developed haemolytic anaemia after undergoing treatment with flutamide for 5 days. When flutamide was replaced with temporary adrenocortical hormone treatment and blood transfusion, the blood indices and liver function of the patient improved gradually. We emphasise the need for routine monitoring of blood counts for patients undergoing flutamide treatment, and highlight the importance of discontinuing flutamide immediately when haemolytic anaemia occurs.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Metformin, a first-line oral anti-diabetic drug, has recently been reported to exert protective effect on various cardiovascular diseases. However, the potential role of metformin in ethanol-induced cardiomyocyte injury is still unknown. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the effect of metformin on ethanol-induced cardiomyocyte injury and its underlying mechanism. METHODS AND RESULTS: H9c2 cardiomyocytes were exposed to ethanol for 24 h to establish an ethanol-induced cardiomyocyte injury model, and followed by treatment with metformin in the presence or absence of Lapatinib (an ErbB2 inhibition). CCK8 and LDH assays demonstrated that metformin improved cell viability in cardiomyocytes exposed to ethanol. Furthermore, metformin suppressed cardiomyocyte apoptosis and reduced the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins (Bax and C-CAS-3). In addition, our results showed that metformin activated the AKT/Nrf2 pathway, and then promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation and the transcription of its downstream antioxidant genes (HO-1, CAT and SOD2), thereby inhibiting oxidative stress. Interestingly, we found that ErbB2 protein expression was significantly inhibited in ethanol-treated cardiomyocytes, which was markedly reversed by metformin. In contrast, Lapatinib largely abrogated the activation of AKT/Nrf2 signaling by metformin, accompanied by the increases in oxidative stress and cardiomyocyte apoptosis, indicating that metformin prevented ethanol-induced cardiomyocyte injury in an ErbB2-dependent manner. CONCLUSION: In summary, our study provides the first evidence that metformin protects cardiomyocyte against ethanol-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis by activating ErbB2-mediated AKT/Nrf2 signaling. Thus, metformin may be a potential novel treatment approach for alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
