During the carcinoma transformation of colitis, the imbalance of “metabolic-immune interaction” resulted from abnormal energy and metabolic substrates flow and direction was the key process, which caused by intercellular metabolic competition. Based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory and clinical research, we found that “fire failing to warm earth” is the key pathogenesis of colon-cancer transformation. “Fire” was a synonym for TCM to understand the energy metabolism, combined modern medical research findings, we thought energy metabolism disorders was a microcosmic manifestation of the “fire decline”, while abnormal immune function was the biological basis of “earth deficiency”. The imbalance between “metabolism-immune interaction” and the “fire failing to warm earth” pathogenesis of colitis-cancer transformation demonstrated the different understanding of the same pathological mechanism between western medicine and TCM. For treatment, it could be effectivce to delay the transformation of colitis-cancer by synergistically regulated the energy metabolism - “replenish fire” and enhanced the immune function - “nourish earth”, which was called the methods of replenishing fire to nourish earth.

Pulmonary nodule is a key window for moving ahead the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can delay the transformation of lung nodules into lung cancer, improve the prognosis of patients, effectively fill the treatment gap during the follow-up period of pulmonary nodules, and has been applied it in the whole cycle and multi-dimensional management of pulmonary nodules. This paper discussed the construction ideas and feasible paths of the whole process management diagnosis and treatment system of pulmonary nodules in TCM, proposed the diagnosis and treatment database of TCM for pulmonary nodules based on the social module of “family-community-hospital”. Through artificial intelligence, we can develop, improve and promote the multi-level and multi-modal “disease-symptom combination” risk prediction model and effectiveness evaluation system of pulmonary nodules. At the same time, the biological connotation of the prevention and treatment of pulmonary nodules by TCM is excavated, which provided empirical evidence for the construction of TCM diagnosis and treatment system, in order to further improve the quality and diagnosis and treatment level of the whole course management of pulmonary nodules.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect and mechanism of Sishenwan-containing serum on aerobic glycolysis in human colon cancer HCT116 cells. MethodCell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the cell viability of colon cancer HCT116 cells after treatment with Sishenwan-containing serum (2.5%, 5%, and 10%) for 24, 48, 72 h. The concentration of lactic acid, the content of intracellular glucose, and the activity of hexokinase (HK) and fructose-6-phosphate kinase (PFK) in the cell culture medium were detected by the micro-method. The content of glucose transporter 1 (GluT1) mRNA was detected by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The protein expression of GluT1 and methyltransferase-like 3 (MettL3) was detected by Western blot. The expression of GluT1 in cells was detected by immunofluorescence and the level of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation was detected by colorimetry. ResultCompared with the normal serum, 2.5%, 5%, and 10% Sishenwan-containing serum had no significant effect on the viability of HCT116 cells at 24 h, while 10% Sishenwan-containing serum showed a significant inhibitory effect on the viability of HCT116 cells at 48 h (P<0.05). Hence, 10% Sishenwan-containing serum was used in subsequent experiments, and the intervention time was 48 h. Compared with the normal serum, 10% Sishenwan-containing serum could reduce lactate production (P<0.05), down-regulate glucose uptake (P<0.05), and blunt the activities of HK and PFK, the key rate-limiting enzymes of glycolysis (P<0.05). Meanwhile, 10% Sishenwan-containing serum could decrease the expression of GluT1 protein (P<0.01) and mRNA (P<0.05) and reduce the proportion of cells expressing GluT1 (P<0.01). Compared with the normal serum, Sishenwan-containing serum also decreased the protein content of MettL3 (P<0.05) and the methylation level of m6A RNA (P<0.01). ConclusionSishenwan can inhibit glycolysis in colon cancer cells, and its inhibitory mechanism may be related to reducing MettL3 overexpression, inhibiting m6A RNA methylation, and down-regulating GluT1 and the activities of intracellular aerobic glycolysis-related enzymes such as HK and PFK.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of different noninvasive diagnostic models in the diagnosis of esophageal and gastric varices since there is a high risk of esophageal and gastric varices in patients with compensated hepatitis B cirrhosis and significant portal hypertension, and to provide a basis for the early diagnosis of esophageal and gastric varices. MethodsA total of 108 patients with significant portal hypertension due to compensated hepatitis B cirrhosis who attended Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from November 2017 to November 2023 were enrolled, and according to the presence or absence of esophageal and gastric varices under gastroscopy, they were divided into esophageal and gastric varices group (GOV group) and non-esophageal and gastric varices group (NGOV group). Related data were collected, including age, sex, imaging findings, and laboratory markers. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups; the least significant difference t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic value of five scoring models, i.e., fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), LOK index, LPRI, aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), and aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio (AAR). The binary logistic regression method was used to establish a combined model, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was compared between the combined model and each scoring model used alone. The Delong test was used to compare the AUC value between any two noninvasive diagnostic models. ResultsThere were 55 patients in the GOV group and 53 patients in the NGOV group. Compared with the NGOV group, the GOV group had a significantly higher age (52.64±1.44 years vs 47.96±1.68 years, t=0.453, P<0.05) and significantly lower levels of alanine aminotransferase [42.00 (24.00 — 17.00) U/L vs 82.00 (46.00 — 271.00) U/L, Z=-3.065, P<0.05], aspartate aminotransferase [44.00 (32.00 — 96.00) U/L vs 62.00 (42.50 — 154.50) U/L,Z=-2.351, P<0.05], and platelet count [100.00 (69.00 — 120.00)×109/L vs 119.00 (108.50 — 140.50)×109/L, Z=-3.667, P<0.05]. The ROC curve analysis showed that FIB-4, LOK index, LPRI, and AAR used alone had an accuracy of 0.667, 0.681, 0.730, and 0.639, respectively, in the diagnosis of esophageal and gastric varices (all P<0.05), and the positive diagnostic rates of GOV were 69.97%, 65.28%, 67.33%, and 58.86%, respectively, with no significant differences in AUC values (all P>0.05), while APRI used alone had no diagnostic value (P>0.05). A combined model (LAF) was established based on the binary logistic regression analysis and had an AUC of 0.805 and a positive diagnostic rate of GOV of 75.80%, with a significantly higher AUC than FIB-4, LOK index, LPRI, and AAR used alone (Z=-2.773,-2.479,-2.206, and-2.672, all P<0.05). ConclusionFIB-4, LOK index, LPRI, and AAR have a similar diagnostic value for esophageal and gastric varices in patients with compensated hepatitis B cirrhosis and significant portal hypertension, and APRI alone has no diagnostic value. The combined model LAF had the best diagnostic efficacy, which provides a certain reference for clinical promotion and application.
