"Omics" and bioinformatics have brought new ideas to the study of traditional Chinese medicine. This study used metabonomics and network pharmacology to investigate the pharmacodynamic basis and regulation of Qishen Yiqi dropping pill (QDP) improving cardiac energy metabolism in rats with heart failure (HF). ¹H NMR metabonomics analysis showed that eight metabolites, including carnitine, glutamine, creatine, proline, homocitrulline, lactic acid, taurine and alanine appeared significant callback after QDP treatment for HF. The results indicate that QDP regulates the metabolism of carbohydrate, lipid, ATP and protein. The animal experiment was conducted in accordance with the regulations of the Ethics Committee for Experimental Animal Management and Animal Welfare of Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. A "drug-component-target-disease" network was established using network pharmacology, and the "component-target" sub-network related to the above energy metabolism processes was extracted by combining metabonomics results. Results revealed 79 chemical compounds and 47 potential targets of QDP involved in the regulation of energy metabolism, and identified key chemical components including ursolic acid, notoginsenoside G, ginsenoside-Rh1, and core targets such as INS, PPARG, and AKT1. The results also demonstrated the complex multi-target and multi-component relationship between QDP and HF from the perspective of energy metabolism. The molecular docking technique verified a strong interaction between some targets and chemical compounds, with affinities less than -5 kcal·mol^-1. The results of this study provide useful information for the clinical application, development, and utilization of QDP.

Objective:To detect the levels of γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) in the amniotic fluid of normal pregnancies at 19-23 +6 gestational weeks and to analyze the changes in GGT level with gestational age. Methods:This study retrospectively collected the amniotic fluid supernatant from 383 singleton pregnant women (102, 103, 82, 68 and 28 cases at 19-19 +6, 20-20 +6, 21-21 +6, 22-22 +6, 23-23 +6 weeks of gestation, respectively) who underwent amniocentesis for prenatal diagnosis but had normal genetic diagnosis results in Cheeloo Hospital of Shandong University from January 2021 to September 2022. The levels of GGT in the amniotic fluid supernatant were tested and the statistical parameters including xˉ± s, min-max, median ( M), P1, P2.5, P5, P95, P97.5 and P99 values of GGT levels at each gestational week were calculated. GGT were non-normal data and converted into natural logarithms (lnGGT), and a least square linear regression equation was established to analyze the relationship between lnGGT and gestational week. Results:At 19-19 +6, 20-20 +6, 21-21 +6, 22-22 +6, and 23-23 +6 gestational weeks, the xˉ± s of amniotic fluid GGT were (385.8±235.7), (331.8±219.4), (253.7±197.9), (226.7±166.4), and (155.3±96.8) U/L, and the weekly declines were 14.0%, 23.5%, 10.6%, and 31.5%, respectively; the M values were 311.0, 288.0, 199.0, 160.5, and 105.5 U/L, and the weekly declines were 7.4%, 30.9%, 19.3%, and 34.3%, respectively; the P1- P99 were 67.1-1 404.5, 63.2-1 189.1, 36.0-849.8, 44.0-787.3, and 32.0-375.6 U/L, respectively. lnGGT was negatively correlated with gestational age ( R 2=0.148, P<0.001). Conclusions:In normal pregnancies at 19-23 +6 gestational weeks, GGT levels in amniotic fluid decrease with gestational age. Therefore, gestational age should be considered when establishing the reference value for amniotic fluid GGT in normal pregnancies.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and the androgen receptor (AR) in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2)-positive breast cancer. Methods: Specimens of 448 patients with HER-2-positive breast cancer from the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital between March 2018 and November 2018 were collected. TILs were pathologically evaluated. AR expression was immunohistochemically analyzed. The relationships among TILs, the AR, and clinicopathological parameters were determined. Results: There were 38.2% (171/448) patients with TILs non/low-infiltrated, 42.2% (189/448) with moderately infiltrated, and 19.6% (88/448) with high infiltration. AR was positive in 62.7%(281/448) of the patients. Spearman correlation analysis showed that TILs and the AR were negatively related (r=-0.140, P=0.003). TILs were significantly associated with the AR in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer (P=0.009). Conclusions: TILs and the AR were negatively related in HER-2-positive breast cancer, indicating that HER-2-positive breast cancer can be treated according to the different infiltration levels of TILs and AR expression.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate methods and clinical performance of crown lengthening surgery for aesthetic restoration improvement of short anterior teeth. Various surgery methods, proper restoration time after surgery, and indications for crown lengthening surgery were discussed.

METHODSCrown lengthening surgery and prosthetic treatment were applied to 148 short anterior teeth of 22 cases. Modified Ryge criteria were used to assess the gingival health after treatment. Restoration results before and after treatment were evaluated by use of Kay's altered dental esthetics classification.

RESULTSWhen patients were re-examined after restoration of two weeks, obvious inflammation was found in 7.4% teeth. After providing the treatment and instruction on oral hygiene, 98.6% gingival health was significantly improved during the follow-up period. Two cases were examined during more than 4-year period and no obvious gingival inflammation and change in dental crown ratio were found. After treatment, all of 22 cases met Kay dental esthetics classification Class II-I (cosmetic) or Class II-I criteria.

CONCLUSIONSRight selection of indications, accurate restoration design, delicate surgery operation, enough recover period for the gingival after surgery, and proper oral hygiene training method, all contribute to the satisfactory aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth.

OBJECTIVETo recognize the importance of analyzing the result of immunohistochemical staining correctly.

METHODReview of the three misdiagnosed cases lymphoma and exploring the causes of misdiagnosis through reviewing their clinics, histopathology and immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSCase 1 of lymphocyte rich classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (LRCHL) was misdiagnosed as follicular lymphoma (FL) initially, the RS cells were overlooked morphologically and wrongly determined BCL-2 and CD20-positive cells as tumor cells immunohistochemically; also once misdiagnosed as nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma (NLPHL) because the CD20-negative RS misjudged cells as the positives. Case 2 of AML tumor cells expressed TdT, CD7 and CD43 unspecifically, which misdiagnosed as T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL). Case 3 of type B1 thymoma was misdiagnosed as T-LBL, because CK wasn't expressed satisfactorily resulting in neglecting neoplastic epithelial cells, and lymphocytes in the background were TdT and CD99-positive.

CONCLUSIONThe diagnosis of lymphoma should be based on morphology, immunohistochemistry, clinics, and genetics. Moreover, the correct judgment of immunohistochemical staining is essential to make right diagnosis.
