The incidence of breast cancer is increasing year by year,and its pathogenesis is highly complex.The dysregulation of gut microbiota function is closely related to the occurrence and development of breast cancer.The estrogen levels through enterohepatic circulation is regulated by β-glucuronidase produced by the gut microbiota,thereby influencing the occurrence and development of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and leading to tamoxifen resistance.The metabolites from the gut microbiota,such as short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs)and lithocholic acid(LCA),can participate in regulating the tumor cell cycles and cell proliferation.The colonization of gut microbiota maintains the integrity of the intestinal barrier and regulates the anti-tumor immunity mediated by T lymphocytes.Maintaining gut microbiota homeostasis can enhance the efficacy of tumor chemotherapy and immunotherapy and reduce the adverse reactions in anti-tumor treatments.The targeted action of engineered probiotics in immunotherapy can improve the precision of drug treatment.The effect of gut microbiota on radiotherapy is not yet clear,but regulating gut microbiota can aid in the treatment of radiation enteritis.This review discusses the correlation and effect of gut microbiota on breast cancer and analyzes its role in the treatment of breast cancer.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:The effect of intermedin (IMD) on ATP-induced activation of inflammatory bodies and pyroptosis of cells and its mechanism were studied using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-sensitized mouse macrophage line RAW 264.7.Methods:The cells were divided into the control groups, the LPS groups, LPS+IMD groups, and LPS+IMD+LY294002 groups. The expression of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 and the activation of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammatory cells were detected by real-time PCR and western blotting, and the pyroptosis of cells was detected by propidium iodide (PI) staining. The measurement data was represented by MS± SD, and the inter-group difference was compared with ANOVA calculations, and P<0.05 represented the difference with statistical significance. Results:Compared with the control group [(0.83±0.09) vs (0.49±0.04)], the ratio of phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase, p-PI3K)/phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) (0.44±0.05) and p-Akt/Akt (0.27±0.06) in the LPS group was significantly decreased. The ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K (1.22±0.18) and pAkt/Akt (0.83±0.09) in LPS+IMD group was significantly increased ( F=31.40, P<0.001; F=50.88, P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the mRNA and protein expressions of IL-1β, IL-18 and NLRP3 inflammasome (NLRP3, caspase-1, ASC) in RAW264.7 cells were up-regulated in the LPS group (LPS and ATP). Compared with LPS group, IMD treatment inhibited the expression of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-18 and NLRP3 inflammasome, which was blocked by LY294002, a blocker of PI3K/Akt pathway. The results of real-time PCR showed that the relative expression of IL-1β mRNA was (1.00±0.11) in the control group, (8.32±0.61) in the LPS group, (8.32±0.55) in the LPS+IMD group, and (7.23±0.41) in the LPS+IMD+LY group ( F=15.42, P<0.001). The relative expression of IL-18 mRNA in the control group was (1.00±0.17), (1.82±0.21) in the LPS group, (1.14±0.15) in the LPS+IMD group, and (1.53±0.11) in the LPS+IMD+LY group respectively ( F=18.16, P<0.001). The relative expression of NLRP3 mRNA in the control group was (1.00±0.13), (2.58±0.18) in the LPS group, (1.07±0.17) in the LPS+IMD group, and (1.33±0.32) in the LPS+IMD+LY group respectively ( F=15.98, P< 0.001); The relative expression of caspase-1 mRNA in the control group was (1.00±0.09), (6.20±0.19) in the LPS group, (3.43±0.06) in the LPS+IMD group, and (5.50±0.45) in the LPS+IMD+LY group respectively ( F=18.39, P<0.001). The relative expression of ASC mRNA in the control group was (1.00±0.21), (4.58±0.48) in the LPS group, (2.07±0.51) in the LPS+IMD group, and (3.33±0.32) in the LPS+IMD+LY group respectively ( F=15.19, P<0.001). Western blotting results showed that the relative expression of IL-1β protein was as follows: (100%) in the control group, [(188±14)%] in the LPS group, [(112±11)%] in the LPS+IMD group, and [(171±27)%] in the LPS+IMD+LY group respectively ( F=21.25, P<0.001). The relative expression of IL-18 protein in the control group was 100%, [(183±16)%] in the LPS group, [(115±19)%] in the LPS+IMD group, and [(179±23)%] in the LPS+IMD+LY group respectively ( F=19.62, P<0.001). The relative expression of NLRP3 protein was 100% in the control group, [(149±15)%] in the LPS group, [(106±10)%] in the LPS+IMD group, and [(144±15)%] in LPS+IMD+LY group respectively ( F=14.35, P<0.001). The relative expression of ASC protein was 100% in the control group, [(188±12)%] in the LPS group, [(110±18)%] in the LPS+IMD group, and [(192±8)%] in the LPS+IMD+LY group ( F=15.79, P<0.001). Conclusion:IMD inhibits the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and cell pyroptosis by regulating PI3K/Akt activity.

The clinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. With the widespread applica-tion of ICIs in HCC, the management of immune-related adverse events (irAE) gained more and more attention. However, the complicated disease characteristics and various combination therapies in HCC throw out challenges to irAE management. Therefore, the editorial board of the 'Chinese expert consensus on the management of immune-related adverse events of hepatocellular carcinoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (2021 edition)' organizes multidisciplinary experts to discuss and formulate this consensus. The consensus focuses on issues related to HCC irAE manage-ment, and puts forward suggestions, in order to improve standardized and safety clinical medication, so as to maximize the benefits of immunotherapy for patients.

Objective To discuss the treatment action and mechanism of Wenjing Tongluo Formula on oxaliplatin-induced perpheral neurotoxicity in rats. Methods Intraperitoneal injection was used to inject oxaliplatin 4 mg/kg to establish oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neurotoxicity rat models. Female Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, and TCM group. TCM group was given Wenjing Tongluo Formula to soak rats’ limbs and tails. Rats in the model group were soaked with deionized water for comparison. Rats in the normal group received intraperitoneal injection with 5%glucose. Algesia hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis were detected under the mechanical stimulation and temperature. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of GFAP in L4-L6 spinal dorsal horn of rats. Explore the level of GLT-1 in L4-L6 dorsal root ganglia by RT-PCR. Results Rats in model group showed obvious behavioral changes compared with normal group (P<0.05);Rats in the TCM group improved in behavioristics compared with model group (P<0.01);number of positive cells in GFAP of rats in the model group increased compared with normal group (P<0.05);the increase in the TCM group was not obvious. Compared with normal group, astrocytes in spinal dorsal horn of model group were enlarged, protuberances increased, became coarse, and GLT-1 mRNA is decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with model group, active cells and protuberances in the TCM group decreased (P<0.01), GLT-1 mRNA is increased (P<0.01). Conclusion Wenjing Tongluo Formula can improve behavioral changes of model rats under temperature and mechanical stimulation, probably related to harmful signal transmission induced by inhibition of astrocyte in spinal dorsal horn.
