In order to improve the efficiency of drug screening on serotonin transporter (SERT) inhibitors, a high-throughput screening (HTS) model is established in RBL-2H3 cells. The RBL-2H3 cells are very similar to the serotonin genetic neuro, in modulation of post-receptor mechanisms and transduction pathway of SERT reactivated. Depending on a fluorescence substrate ASP+ used in detection method of inhibitor rates, it's convenient, quick, accurate and effective, not making the environmental biohazard compared with radioactive experiments. Furthermore, biological screening model combined with computer aided virtual screening technique describing high-throughput virtual screening (HTVS). Bayesian classification method and molecular fingerprint similarity were applied to virtual screening technique, for screening compounds in compound library. Some compounds have been found, and then validated further by biological screening model. Combination of HTS and HTVS improves the efficiency of screening SERT inhibitors.

Objective Based on the observation of the changes of symptoms, histopathology, visceral sensitivity, mast cell activation, autophagy, and Beclin-1 and Claudin-2 expression in rats, we established and evaluated a new rat model of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS) induced by restraint-stress combined with capsaicin (CAP) administration.Methods Forty healthy 5-week old male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group I, model group II and model group III, with 10 rats in each group.The D-IBS model was established by restraint-stress combined with intragastric administration of CAP (2 mL/100 g body weight, 0.125% in group I, 0.250% in group II, 0.500% in group III), tail clipping and forelimb restriction for 30 minutes every day for 2 weeks.The rats in the control group were treated with saline for 2 weeks.The number of contraction of abdominal wall and arched back were measured by Power Lab instrument.The mast cell activation was detected using aldehyde-magenta-orange G staining.Light and electron microscopic examinations were performed to detect the morphology and autophagy of colonic tissues.The expressions of Beclin-1 and Claudin-2 in the colonic mucosa were detected by streptavidin-biotin complex (SABC) immunohistochemical staining.Results All rats in the model group III died during the experiment.Compared with the control group and model group I, the stool frequency was increased and the visceral sensitivity threshold decreased in the model group II, and there were statistically significant differences between the model group II and the control and model groups I (P < 0.05).The colonic mucosa, mucosal epithelium and glands in each group showed normal morphology and there was no submucosal vasodilatation and diffuse inflammatory cell infiltration.Except for the control group, round purple-reddish staining spots were observed in the rat mucosal stroma or submucosa in the model groups I and II, indicating an increased expression of mast cells.The autophagy, expressions of Beclin-1 and Claudin-2 in the colonic epithelium were significantly increased in the model group II compared with control group and model group I (P< 0.05).Conclusions The model of D-IBS induced by restraint-stress combined with capsaicin is characterized by increased diarrhea, visceral hypersensitivity, increased mast cell expression and autophagy of intestinal epithelial cells, and disruption of the intestinal mucosal barrier.This model is simple to set up and shows similar symptoms of human irritable bowel syndrome.Therefore, it is worthy of popularization and application.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of short-term transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE)-radiofrequency ablation (RFA) sequential therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:The clinical data of 117 patients with advanced HCC enrolled in the Central Hospital of Lishui from March 2010 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received TACE and RFA sequential therapy. The patients were divided into 2 groups including short interval group (interval≤7 d, 61 cases) and long interval group (interval>7 d, 56 cases) according to interval between TACE and RFA. The difference of response rate was analyzed by Wilcoxon test. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to calculate the overall survival (OS) time and progression free survival (PFS) time.The risk factors of TACE-RFA sequential therapy were tested using Cox multivariate analysis. The complications in the two groups were compared using χ 2 test. Results:The response rate in the short interval group (72.1%, 43/61) was significantly higher than that in the long interval group (41.1%,23/56) with significant difference ( Z=-2.50, P=0.01). The median PFS in the short interval group (14.9 months) was longer than that in the long interval group (9.1 months). The difference of PFS survival curve between the 2 groups was statistically significant (χ2 =5.90, P=0.01).The median OS in the short interval group (34.7 months) was longer than that in the long interval group (20.3 months). The difference of OS survival curve between the 2 groups was statistically significant (χ2 =6.60, P=0.01). Cox multivariate analysis showed that tumor size [hazard ratio (HR)=2.42, P<0.01], cirrhosis (HR=2.04, P<0.01), interval (HR=0.44, P<0.01), aspartate aminotransferase (HR=1.71, P=0.03) were the independent risk factors for advanced HCC.There were no significant differences in the complication incidence between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Short-term interval TACE-RFA sequential therapy as a protective factor is efficient and safe for advanced HCC treatment.

Background/Aims:
To evaluate the causal correlation between complement components and non-viral liver diseases and their potential use as druggable targets.
Methods:
We conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess the causal role of circulating complements in the risk of non-viral liver diseases. A complement-centric protein interaction network was constructed to explore biological functions and identify potential therapeutic options.
Results:
In the MR analysis, genetically predicted levels of complement C1q C chain (C1QC) were positively associated with the risk of autoimmune hepatitis (odds ratio 1.125, 95% confidence interval 1.018–1.244), while complement factor H-related protein 5 (CFHR5) was positively associated with the risk of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC;1.193, 1.048– 1.357). On the other hand, CFHR1 (0.621, 0.497–0.776) and CFHR2 (0.824, 0.703–0.965) were inversely associated with the risk of alcohol-related cirrhosis. There were also significant inverse associations between C8 gamma chain (C8G) and PSC (0.832, 0.707–0.979), as well as the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (1.167, 1.036–1.314). Additionally, C1S (0.111, 0.018–0.672), C7 (1.631, 1.190–2.236), and CFHR2 (1.279, 1.059–1.546) were significantly associated with the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. Proteins from the complement regulatory networks and various liver diseaserelated proteins share common biological processes. Furthermore, potential therapeutic drugs for various liver diseases were identified through drug repurposing based on the complement regulatory network.
Conclusions
Our study suggests that certain complement components, including C1S, C1QC, CFHR1, CFHR2, CFHR5, C7, and C8G, might play a role in non-viral liver diseases and could be potential targets for drug development.
