Efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors and platinum-containing chemotherapy for later-line advanced non-small cell lung cancer: a retrospective three-arm real-world study using propensity-score matching.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: Clinical data on patients with advanced NSCLC were collected from June 2019 to October 2022 at Hebei General Hospital, China. The efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with ICIs and platinum-containing chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed.

Anti‑PD1 therapy‑associated distal renal tubular acidosis: A case report.

Distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a rare adverse reaction to immune checkpoint inhibitors, which only occurs in a small number of cases. To the best of our knowledge, distal RTA caused by sintilimab, a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor, has not been previously reported. In the present study, the case of a 62-year-old man with metastatic cardiac carcinoma treated with sintilimab anti-PD-1 therapy was reported.

Acute liver injury induced by drug interaction between dacomitinib and metoprolol due to the inhibition of CYP2D6 by dacomitinib.

Introduction: In recent years, oral antineoplastic agents are commonly used in antitumor therapy. The interaction between drugs may affect the efficacy of drugs or lead to adverse reactions. We describe the case of a patient who presented acute liver injury, possibly induced by the concomitant use of metoprolol and dacomitinib.

The effects of sodium glucose co-transporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitors on hematocrit levels: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Previous studies have suggested benefits of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors including improving glycemic control, lower body weight, uric acid-lowering effect and decreasing blood pressure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on hematocrit (Hct) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: Embase, CENTRAL, PubMed and other databases were searched from the establishment of the database through to July 2020.

[Meta-analysis of efficacy and safety of Tripterygium Glycosides Tablets combined with desloratadine in treatment of chronic urticarial].

To analyze the efficacy and safety of Tripterygium Glycosides Tablets combined with desloratadine as well as desloratadine alone in the treatment of chronic urticaria by Meta-analysis,in order to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment.PubMed,CBM,Wan Fang,VIP database and CNKI database were retrieved to collect randomized controlled trials( RCT) about Tripterygium Glycosides Tablets combined with desloratadine( test group) as well as desloratadine alone( control group) in the treatment of chronic urticaria. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.

Therapeutic effect of astragaloside-IV on bradycardia is involved in up-regulating klotho expression.

Aims: In order to determine whether klotho is involved in the therapeutic effects of Astragaloside-IV on bradycardia, we evaluated the effect of ASG-IV on klotho and the effect of klotho on HCN4 and If.

Main Methods: Administrating isoproterenol (5 mg/kg) for 15 days to establish a rat bradycardia model randomized SD rats into control, model (ISO) and ASG-IV (5 mg/kg/day) groups to explore the effect of ASG-IV on klotho. Rats were sacrificed on day 15 after heart rate and heart function were measured; SAN tissues were collected to measure the expression of klotho and HCN4.
