ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of sequential administration of Dihuang Baoyuan granules （DHBY， the prescription for consolidating body resistance） and Fuling Yunhua granules （FLYH， the prescription for treating symptoms） on spontaneous type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） in mice. MethodsAccording to the fasting blood glucose （FBG） level， 12-week-old db/db mice were randomized into six groups： model， DHBY （18.02 g·kg^-1）， FLYH （14.80 g·kg^-1）， sequential administration 1 （SEQ-1， DHBY 18.02 g·kg^-1+FLYH 14.80 g·kg^-1）， sequential administration 2 （SEQ-2， FLYH 14.80 g·kg^-1+DHBY 18.02 g·kg^-1）， and dapagliflozin （Dapa， 1.3 mg·kg^-1）. The m/m mice in the same litter were selected as the normal group. The mice were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage for 8 consecutive weeks. During the 8 weeks of drug administration and 2 weeks after withdrawal， the retinal thickness， FBG， hemoglobin A1c （HbA1c）， and insulin were determined， and histopathological changes of the pancreas， liver， kidney， and retina were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. ResultsCompared with the model group， SEQ-1 for 4 weeks lowered the FBG level （P<0.05）， raised the insulin level， decreased the triglyceride （TG） level （P<0.05）， increased the number of optic ganglion cells and diminished vacuolar degeneration of pancreatic islet and liver. SEQ-2 lowered FBG and HbA1c levels （P<0.05）， rose the insulin level， increased the retinal thickness and the number of optic ganglion cells （P<0.05）， and alleviated vacuolar degeneration of pancreatic islet and liver. Two weeks after drug withdrawal， Dapa tended to increase FBG and HbA1c compared with those at the time of drug withdrawal. However， the levels of FBG and HbA1c in the SEQ-2 group remained decreasing （P<0.05）. ConclusionSEQ-1 and SEQ-2 can lower the blood glucose level and ameliorate diabetic retinopathy， and SEQ-2 outperformed DHBY and FLYH in lowering the blood glucose level. Moreover， SEQ-2 can maintain the blood glucose-lowering effect after drug withdrawal.

This article summarized the clinical experience of MEI Guoqiang in treating lung cancer of phlegm-heat obstructed in the lung syndrome with modified Xiaoxianxiong Decoction （小陷胸汤）. It is believed that the key pathogenesis of lung cancer with phlegm-heat obstructed in the lung syndrome is the phlegm-heat toxin accumulation. According to the different pathogenic effects of qi stagnation， blood stasis， pathogenic toxin， phlegm-damp， qi deficiency， yin deficiency in the occurrence and development of the disease， it is advocated to clear heat and resolve phlegm， and additionally the methods of diffusing the lung and relieving cough， resolving toxins and dissipating masses， rectifying qi and activating blood， dispelling dampness， supplementing and boosting qi and yin are used if necessary. Multiple methods are used together and flexibly matched. In clinical practice， Xiaoxian-xiong Decoction with the function of clearing heat and relieving phlegm is recommended as the basic formula for further modification. For patients with mild lung symptoms， modified Xiaoxianxiong Decoction is commonly used， while for those with obvious symptoms， self-made Maxing Xianxiong Decoction（麻杏陷胸汤） in modifications is suggested. For patients with Shaoyang （少阳） diseases， modified Chaihu Xianxiong Decoction （柴胡陷胸汤） is often used.

Objective:To investigate the impact of the interval period between biopsy and MR examination on tumor detection and extraprostatic extension (EPE) assessment for prostate cancer (PCa) using multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI).Methods:The study was cross-sectional and retrospectively included 130 patients with PCa who underwent RP and preoperative systematic biopsies followed by mpMRI between January 2021 and December 2022 in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to interval following biopsy (group A,<3 weeks, 31 cases; group B, 3-6 weeks, 67 cases; group C,>6 weeks, 32 cases). The percentages of hemorrhage volume in the total prostate were drawn on T 1WI and calculated. The junior, senior and expert radiologists independently localized the index lesions and calculated the accuracy for tumor detection, in addition to assessing the probabilities of EPE according to EPE grade. The correlation between the hemorrhage extent and interval was analyzed using the Spearman correlation coefficient. The accuracy for tumor detection was compared using χ2 test among groups. The diagnostic performance of the radiologists for EPE prediction was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve, and the differences between the corresponding area under the curve (AUC) were compared using the DeLong test. Results:The percentage of hemorrhage was correlated with the interval between biopsy and MR examination ( r=-0.325, P<0.001). The detection accuracy of junior radiologist was 83.9% (26/31), 76.1% (51/67), and 78.1% (25/32) in group A, B and C, respectively; no differences were observed in the detection accuracy among three groups ( χ2=0.76, P=0.685). The detection accuracy of senior radiologist was 83.9% (26/31), 80.6% (54/67), and 71.9% (23/32) in 3 groups with no differences ( χ2=1.53, P=0.464). The detection accuracy of expert radiologist was 80.6% (25/31), 77.6% (52/67), and 93.8% (30/32) with no differences ( χ2=3.95, P=0.139). The AUC (95% CI) for predicting EPE were 0.830 (0.652-0.940), 0.704 (0.580-0.809), 0.800 (0.621-0.920) in the group A, B and C for junior radiologist; 0.876 (0.708-0.966), 0.768 (0.659-0.863), 0.896 (0.736-0.975) for senior radiologist; and 0.866 (0.695-0.961), 0.813 (0.699-0.895), 0.852 (0.682-0.952) for expert radiologist, respectively. No differences were observed among the subgroups in each radiologist ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The interval period does not significantly affect the detection accuracy and EPE assessment of PCa using mpMRI. There is probably no necessity for prolonged intervals following systematic biopsy to preserve the clarity of MRI interpretation for PCa.

Objective:To discuss the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,and treatment of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome(SDS),and to enhance the clinicians'awareness of the disease.Methods:The clinical materials of one patient diagnosed with SDS,primarily presented with neutropenia and elevated transaminase levels,confirmed by genetic testing were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical manifestations,genetic features,diagnosis,and treatment methods of SDS were analyzed complemented with the relevant literatures.Results:This patient was a male child,aged 27 months.His initial clinical presentations were neutropenia and elevated transaminase levels.The patient had previously experienced diarrhea when the patient was 3 months old,which improved after treated with oral pancreatic enzyme dispersion.Over the past six months,the patient had recurrent respiratory infections.Upon admission,the examination results showed there was dental enamel hypoplasia,and the imaging results showed the abnormal bone density in the long bones of the limbs.The genetic sequencing results showed a homozygous mutation in the Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome(SBDS)gene(c.258+2T>C).During hospitalization,the patient received the hepatoprotective care and granulocyte augmentation supportive treatment,leading to an improvement in his condition,and the patient was discharged.During a one-year follow-up,the patient's condition was stable.Conclusion:The typical presentation of the SDS patient includes diarrhea,liver function abnormalities,hematologic abnormalities,and skeletal anomalies,particularly neutropenia;there may also be developmental delays and involvement of the heart,liver,central nervous system,skeleton,and immune system.The genetic testing of suspected children is crucial,and it can aid in the early diagnosis and treatment of SDS patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of miR-152-3p on the resistance to paclitaxel(PTX)of PTX-resistant ovarian cancer cells(A2780T cells).METHODS ① Ovarian cancer parent cells(A2780 cells)and A2780T cells were treated with PTX(1.875,3.75,7.5,17 and 23 μmol·L-1)for 48 h.Cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay,and the 50%inhibitory concentration(IC50)and drug resistance index of A2780T cells were calculated.Western blotting was used to detect the expres-sions of resistance protein P-glycoprotein(P-gp),multidrug resistance related protein 1(MRP1)and adenosine triphosphate binding transporter G superfamily member 2(ABCG2).② Real-time fluorescent quantita-tive PCR(RT-qPCR)was used to detect the expressions of miR-152-3p in A2780 and A2780T cells.The lipid-mediated transient transfection technique was employed to transfect the miR-152-3p inhibitor to reduce miR-152-3p expression in A2780T cells(miR-152-3p inhibitor group),while the negative control(miR-152-3p NC)group was established.RT-qPCR was used to detect transfection efficiency,and the MTT method,scratch experiment,and flow cytometry were used to investigate the effects of the trans-fecting miR-152-3p inhibitor on survival,migration and apoptosis of A2780T cells.Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 in A2780T cells.③ Bioinformatics analysis of databases including miRDB,Targetscan,miRWalk,and Starbase predicted the target genes of miR-152-3p that were verified by Western blotting to detect the protein expression of PTEN in A2780T cells of the miR-152-3p inhibitor and miR-152-3p NC groups,and RT-qPCR to detect the PTEN mRNA expression in A2780 and A2780T cells.Then,the lipid-mediated transient transfection technique was used to transfect PTEN siRNA to silence PTEN expression in A2780T cells(PTEN siRNA group).The siRNA negative control(siRNA NC)group was established.RT-qPCR was used to detect transfection efficiency,the MTT method was employed to measure the survival rate and IC50 value,and Western blotting was used to assess the protein expressions of P-gp,MRP1,and ABCG2 in A2780T cells after silencing PTEN expression.RESULTS ①After treatment with PTX,the cell survival rates were decreased in A2780 and A2780T cells(P<0.05),and the resistance index of A2780T cells was 2.8.Compared with A2780 cells,the protein expressions of P-gp and MRP1 and ABCG2 were highly expressed in A2780T cells(P<0.05,P<0.01).② RT-qPCR showed that the expression of miR-152-3p in A2780T cells was higher than that of A2780 cells(P<0.01).Compared with the miR-152-3p NC group,A2780T cell viability(P<0.05,P<0.01)and cell migration capability(P<0.05)were significantly inhibited,while the apoptosis rate increased(P<0.01)in miR-152-3p inhibitor group.Moreover,the protein expression of Bax was increased(P<0.01),but Bcl-2 decreased(P<0.05).③ Bioinformatics analysis suggested that PTEN was a target gene of the miR-152-3p,and the verified results showed that the PTEN protein expression in A2780T cells of the miR-152-3p inhibitor group was lower than that of the miR-152-3p NC group(P<0.05),and PTEN mRNA expression in A2780T cells was higher than that in A2780 cells(P<0.01).After silencing the expression of PTEN in A2780T cells,the cell viability was significantly reduced(P<0.05,P<0.01),while the IC50 value was reduced(P<0.01)compared with the siRNA NC group.In addition,the protein expressions of P-gp,MRP1 and ABCG2 were decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01).CONCLUSION miR-152-3p is highly expressed in A2780T cells,and down-regulation of its expression may inhibit proliferation and migration,prompt apoptosis and reduce the resistance to PTX of A2780T cells,which is made possible by inhibiting expression of its target gene PTEN.

Purpose To explore the diagnostic value of prostate imaging report and data system 2.1(PI-RADS v2.1)combined with prostate-specific antigen density(PSAD)for clinically significant prostate cancer(csPCa)in prostate-specific antigen(PSA)gray area(4-10 ng/ml)based on two-center data.Materials and Methods The clinical and imaging data of patients with PSA gray zone prostate disease who underwent multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging and all pathological data in the First Medical Center(center 1)and the Sixth Medical Center(center 2)of the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to May 2022 were retrospectively selected and analyzed.The patients from center 1 were used as the training group(220 cases),and the patients from center 2 were used as the test group(50 cases).Logistic regression was used to determine the independent predictors of csPCa in the training group,and the diagnostic efficacy of multi-parameter combination for csPCa was analyzed,which was further verified in the test group.Results There were significant differences in prostate volume,PSAD and PI-RADS v2.1 scores between the csPCa and non-csPCa groups in the training group(Z=-6.468,6.589,75.676,all P＜0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that PI-RADS v2.1 score and PSAD were the independent risk factors for csPCa(both P＜0.001).The area under the curve of the Logistic regression model composed of PI-RADS v2.1 and PSAD for predicting csPCa in the PSA gray zone was 0.860(95％CI 0.808-0.903)in the training group and 0.906(95％CI 0.790-0.970)in the test group,respectively.The area under the curve of Logistic regression model was significantly higher than that of PI-RADS v2.1 and PSAD,respectively,with statistically significant difference(both P＜0.05).When the PI-RADS v2.1 score was low or moderate risk and PSAD＜0.15 ng/ml2,csPCa in the training group and the test group was with low detection rate.Conclusion PI-RADS v2.1 score and PSAD may be the independent risk factors for predicting csPCa in the PSA gray zone.The combined application of the two methods is better than the single method in the diagnosis of csPCa in the PSA gray zone,with benefits for clinical biopsy decision-making.

Objective:To investigate the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the differential diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and non-diabetic renal disease (NDRD) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:A diagnostic test. In this prospective study, patients with T2DM who underwent both IVIM-DWI and renal biopsy at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between October 2017 and September 2021 were consecutively enrolled. IVIM-DWI parameters including perfusion fraction (f), pure diffusion coefficient (D), and pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*) were measured in the renal cortex, medulla, and parenchyma. Patients were divided into the DN group and NDRD group based on the renal biopsy results. IVIM-DWI parameters, clinical information, and diabetes-related biochemical indicators between the two groups were compared using Student′s t-test or Mann-Whitney U test. The correlation of IVIM-DWI parameters with diabetic nephropathy histological scores were analyzed using Spearman′s correlation analyzes. The diagnostic efficiency of IVIM-DWI parameters for distinguishing between DN and NDRD were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results:A total of 27 DN patients and 23 NDRD patients were included in this study. The DN group comprised 19 male and 8 female patients, with an average age of 52±9 years. The NDRD group comprised 16 male and 7 female patients, with an average age of 49±10 years. The DN group had a higher D* value in the renal cortex and a lower f value in the renal medulla than the NDRD group (9.84×10 -3 mm 2/s vs. 7.35×10 -3 mm 2/s, Z=-3.65; 41.01% vs. 46.74%, Z=-2.29; all P<0.05). The renal medulla D* value was negatively correlated with DN grades, interstitial lesion score, and interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) score ( r=-0.571, -0.409, -0.409; all P<0.05) while the renal cortex f value was positively correlated with vascular sclerosis score ( r=0.413, P=0.032). The renal cortex D* value had the highest area under the curve (AUC) for discriminating between the DN and NDRD groups (AUC=0.802, sensitivity 91.3%, specificity 55.6%). Conclusion:IVIM-derived renal cortex D* value can be used non-invasively to differentiate DN from NDRD in patients with T2DM that can potentially facilitate individualized treatment planning for diabetic patients.
