Beijing has been one of the epicenters attacked most severely by the SARS-CoV (severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus) since the first patient was diagnosed in one of the city's hospitals. We now report complete genome sequences of the BJ Group, including four isolates (Isolates BJ01, BJ02, BJ03, and BJ04) of the SARS-CoV. It is remarkable that all members of the BJ Group share a common haplotype, consisting of seven loci that differentiate the group from other isolates published to date. Among 42 substitutions uniquely identified from the BJ group, 32 are non-synonymous changes at the amino acid level. Rooted phylogenetic trees, proposed on the basis of haplotypes and other sequence variations of SARS-CoV isolates from Canada, USA, Singapore, and China, gave rise to different paradigms but positioned the BJ Group, together with the newly discovered GD01 (GD-Ins29) in the same clade, followed by the H-U Group (from Hong Kong to USA) and the H-T Group (from Hong Kong to Toronto), leaving the SP Group (Singapore) more distant. This result appears to suggest a possible transmission path from Guangdong to Beijing/Hong Kong, then to other countries and regions.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Shenbai Jiedu prescription on fecal metabolomics and intestinal flora diversity distribution in patients with colorectal adenoma and explore its potential targets. MethodA total of 21 patients diagnosed with colorectal adenoma were enrolled in this study. Following a four-week administration of Shenbai Jiedu prescription, their clinical symptoms were observed, and fecal samples of patients before and after treatment were collected. Untargeted metabolomics and metagenomic analysis based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) were employed to investigate the possible metabolic pathway of Shenbai Jiedu prescription and its influence on the distribution of intestinal flora in patients. ResultThe total scores of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes of patients after drug administration decreased significantly (P<0.01). The results of untargeted metabolomics showed that the distribution of metabolites exhibited aggregation before and after drug administration, and a total of 106 differential metabolites were screened out (P<0.05). The Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed that arginine-proline metabolism, ferroptosis, glycine, and serine and threonine metabolism were significantly enriched metabolic pathways (P<0.05). Notably, L-4-hydroxyglutamate semialdehyde, glutathione, isopentenyl pyrophosphate, creatinine, 4-acetamido-2-aminobutanoic acid, and guanidoacetic acid were found to be involved in these aforementioned metabolic pathways. Furthermore, the association between these metabolites and different intestinal flora was analyzed, and the results showed that Shenbai Jiedu prescription could interfere with metabolic pathways such as amino acid and ferroptosis in patients with colorectal adenoma by regulating intestinal flora such as Lachnoclostridium, Eggerthella, and Dialister (P<0.05). ConclusionShenbai Jiedu prescription may improve the clinical symptoms of patients by increasing the abundance of intestinal beneficial bacteria, reducing the abundance of harmful bacteria, and regulating metabolic pathways such as amino acid and ferroptosis in patients with colorectal adenoma. This study may provide some research ideas and directions for Shenbai Jiedu prescription to interfere with colorectal adenoma recurrence and carcinogenesis.

ObjectiveTo explore the biological foundation of colorectal adenoma in damp-heat accumulation syndrome and the possible anti-tumor mechanism of Shenbai Jiedu prescription. MethodEight patients with colorectal adenoma in damp-heat accumulation syndrome, 11 patients with non-damp-heat accumulation syndrome, and 10 patients with colorectal cancer recruited by Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2019 to December 2020 meeting the inclusion criteria were clinically obtained, and the tissue of the three groups of patients was subjected to transcriptome sequencing to screen for the differentially expressed genes between the syndrome and the diseases. The intersection of the differentially expressed genes between the syndrome and the disease was taken for further screening of the differentially expressed genes sequentially increasing or sequentially decreasing in patients with non-damp-heat accumulation syndrome, damp-heat accumulation syndrome, and colorectal cancer, and functional enrichment analysis and signaling pathway enrichment analysis were carried out. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to detect the effect of Shenbai Jiedu prescription on the expression of the above key differential genes. ResultBy comparing the damp-heat accumulation syndrome and non-damp-heat accumulation syndrome, a total of 384 differentially expressed genes were screened, of which 203 were up-regulated genes, and 181 were down-regulated genes. By comparing the colorectal adenoma of colorectal cancer and damp-heat accumulation syndrome, a total of 2 965 differentially expressed genes were screened, of which 2 460 were up-regulated genes, and 505 were down-regulated genes. The intersection of differentially expressed genes of the two groups was taken, and a total of 58 differentially expressed genes with the same changes were screened. The gene ontology functions were mainly enriched in UDP-galactose: β-N-acetylglucosamine beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase activity, N-acetyllactosaminide beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity, and poly-N-acetyllactosamine biosynthetic process. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) signaling pathways were mainly enriched in glycosphingolipid biosynthesis-globo and isoglobo series, glycosphingolipid biosynthesis-lacto and neolacto series, and IL-17 signaling pathway. Shenbai Jiedu prescription significantly inhibited the expression of key genes involved in the enrichment, such as FOSB and B3GALT5, in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). ConclusionGlycolipid metabolism may be the biological foundation of colorectal adenoma in damp-heat accumulation syndrome, and Shenbai Jiedu prescription may inhibit colorectal adenoma carcinogenesis by down-regulating the expression of FOSB and B3GALT5.

Colorectal adenoma is a benign tumor originating from the mucosal glandular epithelium of the colorectum and belongs to the category of intraepithelial neoplasia. Its etiology and pathogenesis are not completely clear, and some patients have genetic factors. In recent years, with the improvement in living standards, the incidence of colorectal adenoma has gradually increased due to high-fat diets, intestinal flora disorder, and emotional disturbance. As one of the precancerous lesions of colorectal cancer, colorectal adenoma is increasingly threatening human health. Surgical resection is the most direct and effective method for the treatment of colorectal adenoma, but some patients with colorectal adenoma have the possibility of recurrence after resection. At present, there is still a lack of effective prevention and treatment measures for the recurrence of colorectal adenoma. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays a unique advantage in improving the clinical symptoms of patients with colorectal adenoma and preventing postoperative recurrence and carcinogenesis. Therefore, this review summarized the clinical research and mechanism of TCM compounds in the prevention and treatment of colorectal adenoma in recent years. The clinical study on the prevention and treatment of colorectal adenoma by TCM compounds can be divided into internal treatment, external treatment, and internal and external combined treatment. The internal treatment mainly focuses on strengthening the spleen, and the external treatment includes retention enema, acupoint application, and other methods. The internal and external combined treatment is mainly based on the internal administration of TCM compounds combined with acupuncture, retention enema, and acupoint stimulation. The study on the mechanism of TCM compounds in preventing and treating colorectal adenoma was mainly explored from the aspects of regulating intestinal flora, regulating cell proliferation immune function, and achieving anti-inflammation. This review summarized the research progress of TCM compounds in the prevention and treatment of colorectal adenoma in recent years and provided a reference for future treatment with TCM.

The extraordinary advantages associated with mRNA vaccines, including their high efficiency, relatively low severity of side effects, and ease of manufacture, have enabled them to be a promising immunotherapy approach against various infectious diseases and cancers. Nevertheless, most mRNA delivery carriers have many disadvantages, such as high toxicity, poor biocompatibility, and low efficiency in vivo, which have hindered the widespread use of mRNA vaccines. To further characterize and solve these problems and develop a new type of safe and efficient mRNA delivery carrier, a negatively charged SA@DOTAP-mRNA nanovaccine was prepared in this study by coating DOTAP-mRNA with the natural anionic polymer sodium alginate (SA). Intriguingly, the transfection efficiency of SA@DOTAP-mRNA was significantly higher than that of DOTAP-mRNA, which was not due to the increase in cellular uptake but was associated with changes in the endocytosis pathway and the strong lysosome escape ability of SA@DOTAP-mRNA. In addition, we found that SA significantly increased the expression of LUC-mRNA in mice and achieved certain spleen targeting. Finally, we confirmed that SA@DOTAP-mRNA had a stronger antigen-presenting ability in E. G7-OVA tumor-bearing mice, dramatically inducing the proliferation of OVA-specific CLTs and ameliorating the antitumor effect. Therefore, we firmly believe that the coating strategy applied to cationic liposome/mRNA complexes is of potential research value in the field of mRNA delivery and has promising clinical application prospects.
