ABATRACT OBJECTIVE To utilize the pharmacophore model-molecular docking combined with the virtual screening strategy of free energy calculation and the chemical bioinformatics method of traditional Chinese medicine in cell biology experiments to investigate the components of Guiqi Baizhu prescription that target phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K) and inhibit the proliferation of uveal melanoma(UM) cells. METHODS The pharmacophore model of PI3K inhibitor was constructed, and the compounds of Guiqi Baizhu prescription were virtual screened. The components that fit the pharmacophore model were calculated by molecular docking and binding free energy, and the potential inhibitory components were selected for biological experimental evaluation. The effects of potential inhibitory components on UM cell proliferation were detected by CCK-8 and clonal formation assay. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle and apoptosis of UM cells. The mitochondrial membrane potential of UM cells was detected using JC-10 staining. The expressions of PI3K and downstream pathway proteins were detected by Western blotting.RESULTS The pharmacophore model included 2 hydrogen bond receptors, 2 aromatic ring centers, and exclusion volumes. The results of the CCK-8 experiment showed that quercetin, tangerine, and nobiletin at concentrations of 10, 20, 40, 80 μmol·L−1, and cyrtin at concentrations of 20, 40, 80 μmol·L−1, were able to inhibit the proliferation of UM cells. The clonal formation experiment showed that quercetin, tangerine, nobiletin, and morusin, at different concentrations, could significantly inhibit the clonal proliferation of UM cells. Flow cytometry showed that UM cells were arrested in the G0/G1 phase by tangeretin and quercetin, while UM cells were arrested in the G2/M phase by nobiletin and morusin. The results of JC-10 staining showed that quercetin, nobiletin, tangeretin, and morusin could reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential of UM cells. Western blotting results showed that 4 compounds could target PI3K, but their downstream pathways were different.CONCLUSION Based on the method of chemical bioinformatics in traditional Chinese medicine, this study explores the material basis for the inhibition of UM cell proliferation by the Guiqi Baizhu prescription. It also provides insights for the modern development of traditional Chinese medicine prescription.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effectiveness, potential mechanism and compatibility characteristics of efficacy groups of Dunhuang medical prescription Daxiefei decoction in preventing and treating pneumonia based on chemical bioinformatics method. METHODS To study the effect of Daxiefei decoction freeze-dried powder solution on the proliferation activity of lung epithelial cells through cell experiments. Daxiefei decoction was divided into three groups: clearing away heat group, resolving phlegm group, and nourishing Yin group according to its efficacy characteristics. The chemical components of Daxiefei decoction were obtained by TCMSP database and literature search, and the targets were predicted in Swiss Target Prediction database. Pneumonia disease targets were obtained by DrugBank, TTD, Genecards and DisGeNET databases. STRING database and Cytoscape were used to construct the intersection target interaction network and "drug-component-target- pathway" network and DAVID database was used for KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. The network was used to analyze the scientific connotation of the compatibility of efficacy groups. Furthermore, molecular docking was used to evaluate the target-compound affinity and molecular dynamics was used to explore the dynamic molecular mechanism. RESULTS Cell experiments showed that Daxiefei decoction can maintain the proliferation of lung epithelial cells, reverse the decrease of mitochondrial activity induced by LPS and reduce apoptosis. Complex network analysis showed that the pathways enriched by the three functional groups contained in Daxiefei decoction were mainly distributed in two modules: inflammation regulation and reducing airway mucus hypersecretion. Each module was connected by a common target gene and had its own focus. The results of molecular docking showed that the components quercetin, baicalein, isorhamnetin etc. might be the effective multi-target components of Daxiefei decoction. SRC, EGFR, PPARA etc. had good affinity with each potential active component, which might be a potential target of Daxiefei decoction for preventing and treating pneumonia. Molecular dynamics simulation showed that the potential active component quercetin formed stable intermolecular interactions with SRC. CONCLUSION This study initially reveal the material basis and molecular mechanism of Daxiefei decoction in the prevention and treatment of pneumonia. It also explores the scientific connotation of Daxiefei decoction in the prevention and treatment of pneumonia with different efficacy groups, and its modern development and clinical application provide chemical bioinformatics basis.

Coronavirus infection can cause serious respiratory and digestive system diseases in hu-mans and animals.In recent years,the frequent outbreaks and newly outbreaks of coronavirus in-fection have threatened global public health and the development of livestock and poultry.Howev-er,the development of anti-coronavirus drugs and vaccines was restricted due to the insufficient understanding of the mechanisms of coronavirus pathogenesis and cross species transmission.Re-verse genetic manipulation technology is a powerful tool in virological research,which can be used for the study of pathogenesis mechanisms,replication mechanisms and function analysis of protein.It is also be used in the development of attenuated or gene labeled vaccines,and antiviral drugs.Due to the large genome and complex structure of the coronavirus,the reverse genetic manipulation technology of coronavirus has been lagging for a long time.With the continuous updating of molec-ular biology methods,various new construction strategies have emerged.This article focuses on the construction strategy of the reverse genetic operating system for coronavirus,as well as its applica-tion in virus transmission and pathogenic mechanisms,and development of vaccines,which will provide favorable tools for the prevention and control of the coronavirus infection.

Hip fracture is considered as the most severe osteoporotic fracture characterized by high disability and mortality in the elderly. Improved surgical techniques and multidisciplinary team play an active role in alleviating prognosis, which places higher demands on perioperative nursing. Dysfunction, complications, and secondary impact of anaesthesia and surgery add more difficulties to clinical nursing. Besides, there still lack clinical practices in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture in China. In this context, led by the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association, the Expert consensus on clinical practice in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2023) is developed based on the evidence-based medicine. This consensus provides 11 recommendations on elderly patients with hip fracture from aspects of perioperative health education, condition monitoring and inspection, complication risk assessment and prevention, and rehabilitation, in order to provide guiding advices for clinical practice, improve the quality of nursing and ameliorate the prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） is a chronic liver disease with complex and diverse pathogenesis， and there is no effective treatment or specific drugs for its clinical treatment. In recent years， its incidence has been on the rise， and it has become the earnest expectation of medical researchers in China and abroad that related patients could be treated. AMP-activated protein kinase （AMPK） functions to regulate cellular energy homeostasis and mitochondrial homeostasis. When activated， it has a good intervention effect on NAFLD progression with lipid metabolism disorders and mitochondrial homeostasis disorders. For NAFLD， the activation of AMPK can inhibit the production of new lipogenesis in the liver， promote the oxidation of fatty acids in the liver， and enhance the mitochondrial function of adipose tissues. As a key target of metabolic diseases， AMPK can also improve apoptosis， liver fibrosis， autophagy， and inflammation. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is good at treating diseases from multiple targets and multiple pathways and is also commonly used in the treatment of chronic liver disease in clinical practice. A large number of in vitro and in vivo experimental studies on NAFLD have shown that TCM monomers have good prospects for the treatment of NAFLD through the AMPK signaling pathway， including glycosides， phenols， alkaloids， flavonoids， quinones， terpenoids， and lignans， which are natural activators of AMPK. This study reviewed the research progress on TCM monomers in regulating the AMPK pathway to prevent and treat NAFLD， providing a broader perspective for TCM treatment of NAFLD.

Clinical data of a case with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy admitted in the Department of Neuroendocrinology, Jinan Children′s Hospital in April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.A 1-month-old male patient was hospitalized for convulsion for 4 days.The child had repeated seizures in the form of tonic and tonic-spasm seizures, accompanied by feeding difficulties, slow weight gain, and overall developmental delay.Electroencephalogram showed multifocal discharge, atypical hypsarrhythmia, and brain magnetic resonance imaging showed delayed myelination.The whole exome sequencing showed compound heterozygous mutation of the WWOX gene.Topiramate, Levetiracetam and Valporate were ineffective to this case.Genetic testing should be performed timely in patients with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy and overall developmental delay to make a clear etiology and prognosis, thus guiding prenatal diagnostics and genetic counseling.

A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of a case of intellectual developmental disorders with dysmorphic facies and behavioral abnormalities admitted in the Department of Neurology and Endocrinology, Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University in February 2020.The proband was a 3 years and 6 months old boy, who was hospitalized because of " convulsions for more than 1 year" . Physical examination revealed facial deformities.Gesell developmental schedule showed that adaptive and gross motor behavior development was severely retarded, and fine motor, language and personal-social behavior development was moderately retarded.Brain magnetic resonance imaging suggested schizencephaly.Electroencephalogram results indicated extensive discharges mainly in bilateral anterior head areas, and one myoclonic seizure was detected.Gene detection results disclosed the pathogenic variation of the proband, which was a heterozygote mutation (c.2480_2484del) in FBXO11 gene.High-throughput sequencing technology increases the possibility of identifying potential genetic mutations as the cause of disease.Patients with recurrent seizures, multi-malformation and general developmental delays should undergo gene detection in time to clarify the etiology.This technique can guide prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling.

The data of a child with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy in Qilu Children′s Hospital of Shandong University in February 2020 were analyzed retrospectively.The child was a 4-month-old girl, who was admitted to the hospital because of " repeated convulsions for 4 months and feeding difficulty for 1 month" at the age of 4 months.The patient suffered from epilepsy 1 day after birth, and the epilepsy type was tonic seizures.Severe developmental retardation was observed in the patient.Electroencephalogram showed multifocal discharge, which then turned to hypsarrhythmia.The cranial imaging was negative.Feeding difficulty occurred at the age of 3 months.The genetic testing revealed a de novo heterozygous missense mutation in the FGF12 gene (Arg114His). Various antiepileptic drugs and ketogenic diet were ineffective.There was no attack in 2 months after adding Phenytoin.The child could eat on her own after seizure control, but there was no progress in intellectual and motor development.Mutations in the FGF12 gene lead to poor prognosis of early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, and the seizures are difficult to control.Sodium ion channel blockers such as Phenytoin should be used as soon as possible.
