ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of the modified of Bazhentang combined with Guishentang in improving pregnancy outcomes in mouse models of embryo implantation dysfunction by regulating T helper 1/T helper 2 （Th1/Th2） immune balance. MethodsEighty ICR female mice were randomly divided into four groups （n=20 per group） on gestational day 1 （GD1）： control， model， western medicine， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） groups. Except for the control group， all mice received mifepristone solution （0.2 mg/mouse） via oral gavage on GD4 to induce embryo implantation dysfunction. The TCM group received a water decoction of the modified of Bazhentang combined with Guishentang （20.8 g·kg^-1）， with the western medicine group administered dydrogesterone （3.9 mg·kg^-1）， and the control/model groups given equal volumes of saline. All treatments were administered once daily from GD1 until one day before sample collection. Outcomes included implantation site counts （macroscopic observation）， pregnancy rates， body weight， endometrial histopathology （hematoxylin-eosin staining）， uterine expression of T-box expressed in T cells （T-bet）， GATA-binding protein 3 （GATA3）， interferon gamma （IFN-γ）， and interleukin-4 （IL-4） at protein （Western blot） and mRNA （real-time polymerase chain reaction， Real-time PCR） levels， serum IFN-γ and IL-4 levels （enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay， ELISA）， and Th1/Th2 immune balance evaluated by calculating T-bet/GATA3 and IFN-γ/IL-4 ratios. ResultsCompared to the control group， the model group showed no significant change in pregnancy rate but exhibited a marked reduction in average implantation sites and body weight （P<0.01）. Histopathological analysis revealed endometrial abnormalities， including decreased glandular density， stromal compaction， and absence of nucleolar vacuoles. At the molecular level， uterine tissue in the model group demonstrated significantly upregulated expression of T-bet and IFN-γ （P<0.05， P<0.01）， alongside markedly downregulated GATA3 and IL-4 expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Serum analysis confirmed markedly elevated IFN-γ （P<0.01） and reduced IL-4 levels （P<0.01）， resulting in significantly increased T-bet/GATA3 and IFN-γ/IL-4 ratios （P<0.01）. Compared to the model group， pregnancy rates in all treatment groups showed no significant change. Implantation sites and body weight increased substantially （P<0.01）， with restored endometrial morphology characterized by enhanced glandular density， stromal edema， and reappearance of nucleolar vacuoles. Significant downregulation of T-bet and IFN-γ （P<0.01） and upregulation of GATA3 and IL-4 （P<0.05， P<0.01） in uterine tissue were observed. Serum IFN-γ levels were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while IL-4 levels were significantly elevated （P<0.05）. The Th1/Th2 ratios were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. ConclusionThe modified of Bazhentang combined with Guishentang significantly enhances the number of embryo implantation sites in mice with embryo implantation dysfunction， potentially through modulating T-bet/GATA3 expression， restoring Th1/Th2 immune balance， and improving endometrial receptivity.

During the Yan’an period， the party and government employed forms of health propaganda that were popular among the masses， focusing on superb medical skills and public feedback， as well as the strategy of skillfully using narrative techniques to carry out doctor-patient communication， which collectively created the image of good doctors characterized by “firm belief， superb medical skills， effective communication， and a friendly and approachable demeanor.” They were not only guardians of the people’s health but also the solid pillars of the success of the revolutionary cause. In the journey of the new era， contemporary medical professionals should deeply grasp the spiritual core of good doctors in the Yan’an period， uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China， harbor a benevolent heart， and earn the trust and respect of patients through sincere humanistic care and superb medical services， so as to collectively promote the development of medical undertakings and contribute their strength to building a healthy China.

Objective: To observe the effect of Xipayimaizibizi oral liquid (XP) in an overactive bladder (OAB) experimental rat model and to explore its pharmacological mechanisms. Methods: Network pharmacology was used to explore the potential mechanisms of action of XP. The rats underwent bladder outlet obstruction surgery and were administered the corresponding drug concentrations by gavage for 4 weeks. The study observed the body weight, water intake, bladder and kidney indices (to evaluate their general status), urination behavior pattern (to observe frequency and urgency), and urodynamics (to measure bladder parameters). Hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichome staining were used to observe changes in the bladder structure. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the levels of nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and acetylcholine in the urine. The key targets involved in these mechanisms were validated using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, and western blot in vivo/vitro experiments. Result: Network pharmacological analysis predicted that XP may alleviate OAB by affecting the cholinergic synapse and calcium signaling pathways. XP treatment significantly reduced the bladder index, improved urine behavior and urodynamic parameters, decreased the neurotransmitters in urine, and reduced the thickness of the bladder wall and collagen ratio. These results indicate that XP can alleviate OAB symptoms and improve the bladder structure. In vivo/vitro experiments further demonstrated that XP can inhibit targets, such as muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 2, and participate in cholinergic synapses to further regulate the parasympathetic nervous system. It can also reduce the overexpression of Ca2+ caused by agonists, inhibit targets such as transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1, and participate in calcium signaling pathways to maintain Ca2+ homeostasis. Conclusion These results suggest that XP inhibited bladder overactivity by maintaining Ca2+ homeostasis and regulating the parasympathetic nervous system.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of Cyclosporine A(CsA)in patients with unexplained repeated implantation failure(URIF),and to analyze the changes of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets after CsA treatment.Methods:105 patients with URIF who underwent frozen-thawed embryo transfer(FET)in the De-partment of Reproductive Medicine in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from Septem-ber 30,2021 to March 1,2022 were selected.After informed consent,the patients were divided into CsA group(n=52)and control group(n=53)according to whether they received CsA treatment or not.Pregnancy outcomes and changes in lymphocyte subset were compared between the two groups.Results:The embryo implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate in CsA group were higher than those in the control group,the difference was statisti-cally significant(48.91%vs.32.56%,P=0.027;53.85%vs.32.08%,P=0.024).The CsA group had a lower ear-ly abortion rate than the control group(10.71%vs.23.53%),but the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.25).The percentage of CD3-CD16+CD56+in CsA group was significantly decreased after treatment[(16.15±5.37)%vs.(18.23±7.10)%,P=0.012],it was also lower than that in the control group[(16.15±5.37)%vs.(18.67±5.16)%,P=0.018].Conclusions:CsA treatment can significantly improve the clinical preg-nancy rate and embryo implantation rate of frozen-thawed embryo transfer in patients with URIF,which may be a-chieved by promoting the distribution of peripheral blood lymphocytes to the direction of embryo implantation,es-pecially by down-regulating the percentage of CD3-CD16+CD56+.CsA has a certain application prospect in the field of assisted reproduction.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of Yiguan Decoction(YGJD)on the efficacy of M1 bone marrow-derived macrophages(M1-BMDMs)in the treatment of rats with liver cirrhosis induced by 2-AAF/CCl4.Methods BMDMs were isolated and induced into M1-BMDMs by lipopolysaccharide.A total of 50 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group with 5 rats and model group with 45 rats.The rats for modeling were given subcutaneous injection of 50%CCl4 twice a week.Since week 7,the rats for modeling were randomly divided into model group(M group),YGJD group,M1-BMDM group,M1-BMDM+YGJD group,and sorafenib(SORA)group,and they were given subcutaneous injection of 30%CCl4 to maintain the progression of liver cirrhosis and intragastric administration of 2-AAF.CCR2 inhibitors were added to the drinking water,and each group was given the corresponding intervention.Related samples were collected at week 9.The rats were observed in terms of serum liver function parameters,liver pathology,hydroxyproline(Hyp)content in liver tissue,hepatic stellate cell activation,hepatic fibrosis and inflammation factors,and the expression levels of molecules associated with the Wnt signaling pathway.A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups,and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups.Results Compared with the M group,the M1-BMDM+YGJD group had significant reductions in the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,and total bilirubin(TBil)(all P<0.05)and a significant increase in the content of albumin(Alb)(P<0.05),and compared with the M1-BMDM group,the M1-BMDM+YGJD group had a significant reduction in the serum level of TBil(P<0.05)and a significant increase in the serum level of Alb(P<0.05).Compared with the M1-BMDM group,the M1-BMDM+YGJD group had significant reductions in the expression levels of CD68 and TNF-α(P<0.05).Compared with the M1-BMDM group,the M1-BMDM+YGJD group had significant reductions in Hyp content and Sirius red positive area(P<0.05).As for the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway molecules,compared with the M1-BMDM group,the M1-BMDM+YGJD group had significantly lower mRNA and protein expression levels of Wnt5a(P<0.05)and mRNA expression level of Fzd2(P<0.05),as well as significant reductions in the mRNA expression levels of Wnt4,Wnt5b,and Fzd3(P<0.05),while there were no significant changes in the mRNA expression levels of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway molecules β-catenin,LRP5,LRP6,Fzd5,and TCF.Conclusion YGJD can enhance the therapeutic effect of M1-BMDMs on rats with liver cirrhosis induced by 2-AAF/CCl4,possibly by inhibiting the non-canonical Wnt5a/Fzd2 signaling pathway,which provides new ideas for the synergistic effect of traditional Chinese medicine on M1-BMDMs in the treatment of liver cirrhosis.

【Objective】 To investigate the relationship between the initial serum ammonia level and the risk of ICU and hospital mortalities in critically ill patients without hepatic disease. 【Methods】 A retrospective cohort study was conducted among patients admitted to the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD) for a single admission who had serum ammonia test records within 48 hours of the first ICU admission and had no hepatic disease. The age, sex, ethnicity, Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅳ score (APACHE Ⅳ score), treatment methods, complications, and outcomes were extracted. Univariable and multivariable Logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between serum ammonia level and the risk of mortality. Interactions were used to analyze whether the relationship between serum ammonia level and the risk of mortality differed in subgroups of APACHE Ⅳ scores, age, sex, and ethnicity; subgroup analyses were made. 【Results】 A total of 1 674 patients were included. The multivariable Logistic regression showed that for every 10 μg/dL increase in ammonia, the risk of ICU death increased by 6.9% (OR=1.069, 95% CI: 1.036-1.104), and the risk of hospital death increased by 4.6% (OR=1.046, 95% CI: 1.017-1.076). The risk of ICU death was 1.7 times greater in patients with initial ammonia level of 49-82 μg/dL than in those with <49 μg/dL (OR=1.700, 95% CI: 1.165-2.482), the risk of ICU death was 2.862 times greater in patients with a level of ≥82 μg/dL compared to those with <49 μg/dL (OR=2.862, 95% CI: 1.792-4.570), and the risk of hospital death was 1.844 times higher in the ≥82 μg/dL group than in the <49 μg/dL group (OR=1.844, 95% CI: 1.213-2.804). There were no significant differences between initial ammonia level and the risk of mortalities in different subgroups of APACHEⅣ scores, age, sex, or ethnicity. 【Conclusion】 In critically ill patients without hepatic disease, elevated initial serum ammonia level after ICU admission is associated with a high risk of ICU and hospital mortality.
