Objective:To investigate the predictive value of central nervous system specific protein B (S100B)combined with neuron specific enolase(NSE)and serum lactate for severe neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy(HIE)induced by perinatal asphyxia.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted.A total of 126 neonates admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Xi ′an Jiaotong University due to perinatal asphyxia from April 2019 to April 2022 were selected as the research subjects.Neonates who were clinically diagnosed with HIE were selected as the observation group(45 cases), and those without HIE were selected as the control group(81 cases). The differences of each parameter between the two groups were compared.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the indicators that might cause severe HIE.The risk factors were put into the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)to analyze their predictive value for prognosis.Results:There were no significant differences in gestational age, weight and gender between the two groups(all P>0.05). The Apgar scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group; the rates of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, and prolonged labor were higher than those in the control group.These differences are statistically significant(all P< 0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed significantly higher rates of abnormal brain electroencephalogram and cranial magnetic resonance imaging, as well as increased levels of lactate, S100B( t-values for 8 h and 72 h were 13.10 and 2.00 respectively), and NSE( t-values for 8 h and 72 h were 10.85 and 15.57 respectively), all with statistical significance(all P< 0.05). By conducting binary Logistic regression analysis on indicators that might cause HIE, it was found that Apgar scores at 5 minutes and 10 minutes were negatively correlated with the risk of severe HIE( OR<1 and P<0.05). Prolonged labor, as well as factors such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, S100B concentration at 8 hours after birth, NSE concentration at 8 hours after birth, and lactate levels were all risk factors for poor prognosis( OR>1 and P<0.05). The predictive threshold values for severe HIE using the biochemical markers S100B, NSE, and lactate were 1.87 μg/L, 19 μg/L, and 4.6 mmol/L respectively.The sensitivity of prediction were 78%, 68%, and 75% respectively; while the specificity were 66%, 71%, and 67%, and all area under the curve(AUC)was greater than 0.5.The sensitivity of the combined prediction by the three factors was 87%, with a specificity of 79% and AUC 0.86( P<0.05). Conclusion:S100B, NSE and serum lactate are independent risk factors for predicting neonatal serve HIE, and the combination of the three indicators can improve the predictive efficiency.

OBJECTIVES:
This study aims to explore the therapeutic targets of curcumin in periodontitis through network pharmacology and molecular docking technology.
METHODS:
Targets of curcumin and periodontitis were predicted by different databases, and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network constructed by String revealed the interaction between curcumin and periodontitis. The key target genes were screened for Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses. Molecular docking was performed to analyze the binding potential of curcumin to periodontitis.
RESULTS:
A total of 672 periodontitis-related disease targets and 107 curcumin-acting targets were obtained from the databases, and 20 key targets were screened. The GO and KEGG analyses of the 20 targets showed that curcumin might play a therapeutic role through the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 and parathyroid hormone (PTH) signaling pathways. Molecular docking analysis showed that curcumin had good binding potential with multiple targets.
CONCLUSIONS
The potential key targets and molecular mechanisms of curcumin in treating periodontitis provide a theoretical basis for new drug development and clinical applications.

ObjectiveTaking the rat model of spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome(SSDHS) as the research object, this study aimed to investigate the potential biomarkers of SSDHS and the related metabolic pathways based on urine metabolomics, and tried to reveal the essence of SSDHS at the level of endogenous small molecular metabolites. MethodSixteen SD rats were randomly divided into normal and model groups. The normal group was fed normal chow and the model group was fed with 200 g·L-1 honey water daily, and lard and Chinese Baijiu alternately on alternate days for 17 days. The SSDHS model rats were exposed to external dampness-heat environment with temperature at 30-34 ℃, relative humidity of 95% for 2 h at the same time every day from the 10th day for 7 d. Then, the model was evaluated by observing the general conditions of the rats, measuring the contents of motilin(MTL) and gastrin(GT) in plasma by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and examining the histopathology of gastronitestinal tissues. In additon, the urine metabolomics analysis was performed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS), and the detection conditions was as follows:ACQUITY™ UPLC BEH C18 column(2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.7 μm), mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution(A)-0.1% formic acid acetonitrile solution(B) for gradient elution (0-3 min, 1%-18%B; 3-8 min, 18%-40%B; 8-10 min, 40%-100%B), the flow rate of 0.4 mL·min-1, electrospray ionization(ESI) in positive and negative ion modes, scanning range of m/z 50-1 000. The univariate and multivariate statistical analysis were constructed for screening inter-group differential ions, the element composition was calculated according to the precise relative molecular weight, and ion information was matched with databases such as Human Metabolome Database(HMDB) to identify biomarkers. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) database was used to obtain the biological information of metabolites, and their associated metabolic pathways were analyzed by MetaboAnalyst 5.0. ResultCompared with the normal group, the rectal temperature of the model group increased significantly(P<0.01), the levels of plasma MTL and GT decreased significantly(P<0.05, P<0.01), and pathological changes such as bleeding, congestion and inflammatory infiltration in the gastric and colonic tissues. A total of 25 differential metabolites such as L-histidine, citric acid and isocitric acid were found to be the potential biomarker of SSDHS by urine metabolomics, 13 of which were phase Ⅱ metabolites of endogenous substances(glucuronic acid conjugates, sulfuric acid conjugates and acetyl conjugates), involving the metabolic pathways of histidine metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism. ConclusionSSDHS primarily causes disorders of histidine metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, as well as the imbalance of the activation/inactivation of endogenous metabolites, which may involve the immune response, material and energy metabolism, inflammatory response and intestinal flora, and may provide a basis for the establishment and application of SSDHS model.
