Objective To investigate the inhibiting effect of interleukin (IL)‐24 combined with targeted attenuated Salmonella typhimurium vector SL7207/pBud‐VP3 on the growth of gastric cancer cells .Methods The co‐expression eukaryotic expression plasmid pBud‐VP3‐IL‐24 was constructed .The plasmid pBud‐VP3‐IL‐24 was transformed into attenuated Salmonella typhimurium SL7207 by using the high voltage electroporation for constructing the SL 7207/pBud‐VP3‐IL‐24 strain .The mouse gastric cancer transplantation tumor model was established and randomly divided into the normal saline control group ,SL7207/pBud group , SL7207/pBud‐VP3 group and SL7207/pBud‐VP3‐IL‐24 group .The tumor‐bearing mice were fed by oral administration of bacterial strain .The tumor volume was measured and the tumor inhibition rate was calculated .The expression of IL‐24 was detected by Western blotting .The levels of IFN‐γ,IL‐6 and TNF‐αin tumor tissue were detected by using RT‐PCR .The expression of Caspase‐3 and VEGF were detected by using immunohistochemistry .Results The plasmids attenuated Salmonella typhimurium vector carrying the gene IL‐24 was successfully constructed .The IL‐24 protein expression was detected in gastric cancer tissue after 14 d treatment .The tumor volume after 28 d treatment in the SL7207/pBud‐VP3‐IL‐24 group was reduced compared with the other groups ,moreover the tumor growth was significantly inhibited ,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0 .05) .RT‐PCR and immunohistochemistry results showed that IL‐24 combined with SL7207/bBud‐VP3 could significantly increase the expression levels of immune factor IL‐6 ,IFN‐γ and TNF‐αin tumor tissue ,.in addition ,up‐regulated the expression of Caspase‐3 and down‐regulated the VEGF expression(P<0 .05) .Conclu‐sion IL‐24 combined with SL7207/pBud‐VP3 can synergically play the inhibitory effect on the growth of gastric cancer cells ,its mecha‐nism is related with the tumor apoptosis promotion ,tumor vessel inhibition and immune regulation .

ObjectiveTo systematically review the clinical experience of four sessions of Masters of Traditional Chinese Medicine and two sessions of National Famous Chinese Medicine Practitioners in treating ulcerative colitis (UC). Data mining and analysis were conducted to clarify the diagnosis and treatment ideas and characteristics of prescription used by these famous doctors in treating UC. MethodsRelevant literature on the treatment of UC by renowned doctors was retrieved from the establishment of the database until March 31, 2023. The literature was collected from databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, Chinese Science and Technology Periodicals Database, and China Biomedical Literature Database. The data mining techniques including frequency analysis, association rules, and cluster analysis were conducted using the Ancient and Modern Medical Case Cloud Platform V2.3.5. ResultsA total of 157 literatures were included in this study, including 115 clinical case data. The study found that UC can be categorized into 14 types of syndrome patterns for treatment, including large intestine dampness-heat syndrome (75,65.22%), syndrome of dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency (23, 20.00%), spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome (21, 18.26%). The main affected organs were the spleen (85, 73.91%) and large intestine (75, 65.22%), and they were closely related to liver (24, 20.87%) and the kidney (21, 18.26%). The predominant pathogenic factors were dampness (83, 72.17%) , heat (80, 69.57%) and qi deficiency (65, 56.52%). The treatment involved 30 kinds of treatment methods, including heat-clearing and dampness-draining method (75, 65.22%), pleen-tonifying and qi-boosting method (25,21.74%) and spleen-invigorating and dampness-transforming method (23, 20.00%). The medication involved 187 ingredients, with the most commonly used being heat-clearing herbs (37, 19.79%) and tonifying herbs (27, 14.44%). The tastes of the herbs were mostly sweet (85, 45.45%) , bitter (80, 42.78%) , and pungent (71, 37.97%). The association rules revealed 16 high-frequency combinations mainly composed of Huanglian (黄连), Baishao (白芍) and Gancao (甘草) along with Baizhu (白术), Fuling (茯苓), Muxiang (木香) and Danggui (当归). ConclusionFamous doctors are skilled in diagnosing and treating UC based on the differentiation of the zang-fu organs and qi-blood. The key pathological mechanism is “spleen deficiency as the root, and large intestine damp-heat as the manifestation”. The core treatment approach is “heat-clearing, spleen-tonifying, and dampness-draining”, with the inclusion of “regulating qi and blood, and balancing cold and heat”.
