OBJECTIVE To study the pharmacological substance basis of Shaoyao gancao decoction for relieving acute and chronic pain. METHODS The antispasmodic effect of Shaoyao gancao decoction， ethyl acetate extract of Shaoyao gancao decoction and its effluent part of macroporous resin and 90% ethanol elution part of macroporous resin （the concentration of 4 drugs was 13.44 g/mL according to crude drug） was observed by in vitro small intestine tension test in rats. The acetic acid writhing test was conducted in mice to evaluate the analgesic effects of macroporous resin efflux site and macroporous resin 90% ethanol elution site （the dosage of 2.4 g/kg according to crude drug）. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL- 1β）， prostaglandin E2 （PGE2） and cyclooxygenase-2 （COX-2） in serum of mice were detected. The serum prototype and metabolites of mice after intragastric administration of macroporous resin 90% ethanol elution site were identified by high performance liquid chromatogre-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. RESULTS In vitro experiment showed that 90% ethanol eluting part of macroporous resin represented the best antispasmodic effect， and the inhibitory rate of small intestine tension was significantly higher than macroporous resin efflux site of Shaoyao gancao decoction （P＜0.05） without statistical significance， compared with Shaoyao gancao decoction （P＞0.05）. In the acetic acid writhing experiment， compared with model group， the writhing times of mice in the macroporous resin 90% ethanol elution part group were reduced significantly （P＜0.05）， the writhing latency was prolonged significantly （P＜0.05）， and the levels of COX-2， IL-1β， PGE2 and TNF-α in serum were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Ten kinds of protoproducts including paeoniflorin and glycyrrhizic acid were identified from serum of mice， and twenty-two kinds of metabolites including hydroxylated glycyrrhizin and glucosylated liquiritin were identified. CONCLUSIONS The effective part of Shaoyao gancao decoction for relieving acute and chronic pain is 90% ethanol elution part prepared by macroporous resin from the ethyl acetate extract. Ten components， including glycyrrhetinic acid and paeoniflorin， may be the basis of its pharmacological substances.

Objective:To analyze awareness, willingness, the status of using, and related factors of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Shaanxi Province to provide a reference for the next step of HIV prevention and control strategy.Methods:Using a cross-sectional study design from March to May 2022, with the assistance of MSM social organizations in Xi'an, relying on the network platform and MSM Social organizations, a convenient sampling method was used to recruit MSM with an estimated sample size of 900. The inclusion criteria were male aged ≥18, having had same-sex sexual intercourse in the last twelve months, HIV-negative or unknown status of infection. An electronic questionnaire was made with the help of questionnaire-star and an anonymous self-administered questionnaire was used to collect information on socio-demographic characteristics, sexual behavior, awareness and using of PrEP, etc. A logistic regression model was used to analyze related factors of PrEP awareness and use in MSM. SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results:Among 981 MSM subjects, 76.55% (751/981) had heard of PrEP, and 42.51% (417/981) were aware of PrEP. Among those who knew about PrEP, 74.34% (310/417) had homosexual sexual activity in the last six months, 99.03% (307/310) were willing to use PrEP, and 40.97% (127/310) were using PrEP. The multivariate logistic regression analysis model results showed that nationality (other ethnic groups:a OR=4.48,95% CI:1.28-15.68),education level (high school or technical secondary school: a OR=3.01,95% CI:1.49-6.07; universities or colleges: a OR=2.86,95% CI:1.47-5.57; master degree: a OR=5.10,95% CI:2.37-10.98), monthly income 5 000-10 000 yuan (a OR=1.70,95% CI: 1.00-2.88), tested for HIV in the past 12 months (a OR=1.87,95% CI:1.34-2.61) were related factors of PrEP knowledge awareness. Singlehood (a OR=0.46,95% CI:0.26-0.81) and consulted professionals about PrEP (a OR=9.56,95% CI:4.58-19.96) were related factors of PrEP use. Conclusions:The proportion of willingness to use PrEP was higher among MSM in Shaanxi Province, but the awareness rate and utilization rate of MSM for PrEP were low. The cognition of PrEP should be further improved to promote the correct use of PrEP among MSM.

Objective To investigate the effect of altered oxidative stress system on liver function after partial splenic embolization(PSE).Methods Twenty-nine patients with liver cirrhosis and hypersplenism who received PSE were selected.Peripheral venous blood was drawn from the patients before and at 1 week,1 month,and 3 months after PSE,and the indexes of oxidative stress system factors including malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),advanced oxidiation protein products(AOPPs),and gluta-thione peroxidase(GSH-Px)were detected,as well as liver function indexes.Results There were positive correlation between SOD activity and total bilirubin(TBil)and model for end-stage liver disease(MELD)scores at 1 week postoperatively(TBil:r=0.725,P＜0.05;MELD:r=0.764,P＜0.05).There was positive correlation between GSH-Px activity and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)at 1 month postoperatively(r=0.777,P＜0.05),however,the AOPPs was negatively correlated with ALT and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)at 3 months postoperatively(ALT:r--0.900,P＜0.05;AST:r=-0.957,P＜0.05).Conclusion PSE can improve the body oxidative stress system and enhance the body's antioxidant response,and then improve the liver function.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological features and differential diagnosis of large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement, aiming enhance its recognition and prevent misdiagnosis.Methods:The clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results of six cases diagnosed with IRF4 rearrangement-positive B-cell lymphoma at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from 2015 to 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Additionally, a comprehensive review of the literature was conducted.Results:Six patients with IRF4 rearrangement-positive large B-cell lymphoma were included. Patients 1 to 5 included three males and two females with a median age of 19 years ranging from 11 to 34 years. Four patients presented with head and neck lesions, while the other one had a breast nodule; all were in clinical Ann Arbor stages I to Ⅱ. Morphologically, entirely diffuse pattern was present in two cases, purely follicular pattern in one case, and diffuse and follicular patterns in other two cases. The tumor cells, predominantly centroblasts mixed with some irregular centrocytes, were of medium to large size, with a starry sky appearance observed in two cases. Immunophenotyping revealed all cases were positive for bcl-6 and MUM1, with a Ki-67 index ranging from 70% to 90%, and CD10 was positive in two cases. IRF4 rearrangement was confirmed in all cases by FISH analysis, with dual IRF4/bcl-6 rearrangements identified in two cases, leading to a diagnosis of LBCL-IRF4. Case 6, a 39-year-old female with a tonsillar mass and classified as clinical Ann Arbor stage Ⅳ, displayed predominantly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) morphology with 20% high-grade follicular lymphoma characteristics. Immunohistochemistry showed negative CD10 and positive bcl-6/MUM1, with a Ki-67 index of approximately 80%. Triple rearrangements of IRF4/bcl-2/bcl-6 were identified by FISH, leading to a diagnosis of DLBCL with 20% follicular lymphoma (FL). All six patients achieved complete remission after treatment, with no progression or relapse during a follow-up period of 31-100 months.Conclusions:Large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement is a rare entity with pathological features that overlap with those of FL and DLBCL. While IRF4 rearrangement is necessary for diagnosing LBCL-IRF4, it is not specific and requires differentiation from other aggressive B-cell lymphomas with IRF4 rearrangement.

Primary atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RTs) in the spinal canal are rare central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms that are challenging to diagnose and treat. To date, there has been no standard treatment regimen for these challenging malignant tumors. Thus, we conducted this research to explore potential prognostic factors and feasible treatment modalities for improving the prognosis of these tumors. Articles were retrieved from the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases, using the keywords “atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor,” “rhabdoid tumor,” “spine,” “spinal,” “spinal neoplasm”, and “spinal cord neoplasm.” All eligible cases demonstrated SMARCB1-deficient expression validated by pathological examination. We collected and analyzed data related to clinical presentation, radiological features, pathological characteristics, treatment modalities and prognosis via Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. Thirty-six articles comprising 58 spinal AT/RT patients were included in the study. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 18 and 22 months, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated significant survival improvements for OS in the nonmetastasis, male, radiotherapy and intrathecal chemotherapy groups as well as for PFS in the chemotherapy and radiotherapy groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that chemotherapy and radiotherapy were prognostic factors for improved PFS, and that intrathecal chemotherapy reduced the risk of mortality. Spinal AT/RTs are uncommon malignant entities with a dismal survival rate. Although our review is limited by variability between cases, there is some evidence revealing potential risk factors and the importance of systematic chemotherapy, intrathecal chemotherapy and radiotherapy in spinal AT/RT treatment modalities.
