ObjectiveProteoglycan TPG-1 isolated from Trametes robiniophila(Huaier) has proved to have anti-hepatoma activity, and this paper aims to explore the molecular mechanism. MethodHuman hepatoma SK-HEP-1 cells were treated with TPG-1 (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1 g·L-1). Then cell survival was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) and apoptosis by flow cytometry. In addition, expression of genes in SK-HEP-1 cells treated with or without TPG-1 was examined by DNA microarray to preliminarily explore the anti-hepatoma molecular mechanism of TPG-1. ResultTPG-1 inhibited the proliferation of SK-HEP-1 cells as compared with the blank group (P<0.01). After treatment with 1 g·L-1 TPG-1 for 48 h, the apoptosis rate of SK-HEP-1 cells increased (P<0.01), and TPG-1 promoted the cleavage of cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase (Caspase)-3 and Caspase-7, the key mediators of apoptosis (P<0.01). Additionally, TPG-1 (1 g·L-1) suppressed the migration of SK-HEP-1 cells (P<0.05). A total of 971 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in SK-HEP-1 cells after treatment with TPG-1, with 486 up-regulated and 485 down-regulated. These DEGs were mainly involved in the Gene Ontology (GO) terms of interleukin-6 (IL-6) biosynthesis, antigen processing and presentation, superoxide dismutase activity, positive regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) cascade, nature killer (NK) cell chemotaxis, and chemokine biosynthesis, and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor signaling pathway, apoptosis, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, retinoic acid-inducible gene-Ⅰ (RIG-Ⅰ)-like receptor signaling pathway, T-cell receptor signaling pathway, and chemokine signaling pathway. Western blot results showed that TPG-1 (1 g·L-1) activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway in SK-HEP-1 cells (P<0.01). ConclusionProteoglycan TPG-1 inhibited the proliferation and migration, and induced apoptosis of human hepatoma SK-HEP-1 cells. Up-regulation of MAPK signaling pathway may be responsible for the growth inhibition of human hepatoma SK-HEP-1 cells by TPG-1.

Objective: To understand the epidemiological characteristics of bacillary dysentery with multiple-onset in Henan province from 2005 to 2020. Methods: The reported cases of bacillary dysentery (including confirmed cases and clinically diagnosed cases) in Henan Province from January 2005 to December 2020 were collected through China's National Disease Supervision Information Management System. The main information included gender, age, home address, date of onset and date of diagnosis. The interval between two episodes of the same case was more than 15 days, which was judged as two episodes. The incidence characteristics of bacillary dysentery patients with two or more cases in Henan Province from 2005 to 2020 were analyzed, and the regional distribution map of cases was drawn using ArcGIS software. Results: From 2005 to 2020, a total of 250 430 cases of bacillary dysentery were reported in Henan Province, with a cumulative incidence rate of 228.66/100 000. There were 2 342 cases with two or more attacks. The incidence of recurrent cases of bacillary dysentery increased year by year (χ2trend=2 932.28, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of two or more cases of different sexes (χ2=0.39, P=0.540). There was significant difference in the incidence among different age groups (χ2=438.40, P<0.001). The incidence of two or more cases in the 60-69 age group was relatively high (1.70%). The shortest time interval between the onset of the disease was 16 days, and the longest was 5 579 days, with M (Q1, Q3) about 428 (237, 843) days. Compared with healthy people, those with a history of bacterial diseases had a higher risk of developing bacillary dysentery (RR: 4.12, 95%CI: 3.95‒4.29). Conclusion: The proportion of patients with multiple-onset shows an increasing trend, and there is an age difference.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic non-specific inflammatory bowel disease, listed as a modern refractory disease by the World Health Organization, which is difficult to recover, whereas it is easy to be attacked repeatedly. UC pathogenesis is closely related to gut microbiota dysbiosis. The gut microbiota interacts with bile acids (BAs), short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), tryptophan, and other metabolism, immune system, intestinal barrier, etc., which regulate each other and affect the occurrence and development of UC. The active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), single herb and its extracts, and formulae can effectively alleviate UC symptoms by regulating the diversity, structure, composition, and metabolites of gut microbiota. In this review, the TCM based on the regulation of gut microbiota in the treatment of UC and its related mechanism for nearly three years was summarized.

Objective To explore the value of degree of cranial suture closure in forensic adult age estimation by thin-layer CT scan and establish an adult age estimation model of the Han nationality. Methods Thin-layer CT scan samples of the heads of 220 healthy Sichuan Han adults (110 males, 110 females) aged 20 to 70 were collected, of which 20 samples (10 males, 10 females) were randomly selected as test samples. The sagittal suture, coronal suture (both left and right) and lambdoid suture (both left and right) were respectively and equally divided into 2 segments, and every segment was equally divided into 10 layers and the corresponding multiplanar reformation (MPR) images were selected. The closure of cranial sutures on MPR images was classified into the grades 1-7. The correlations between cranial sutures and age were analyzed to build regression equation for age estimation. Results The degree of closure of sagittal suture, coronal suture (both left and right) and lambdoid suture (both left and right) was positively correlated with age. The coefficient of determination (R2) of regression equation was 0.419 in males, 0.589 in females, and 0.522 in all samples. The results of the verification test showed that the mean absolute error (MAE) was 6.39 years in males, 6.16 years in females, and 6.29 years in all samples. Conclusion There was a higher accuracy in adult age estimation by thin-layer CT scan of cranial sutures. The age of Han nationality adults can be estimated by the degree of cranial sutures closure.

Genus Polygonatum,belonging to the Liliaceae family,is mostly medicine food homology species,which have been documented as treating " dry mouth,less food,and internal heat and thirst" in medical ancient books. In traditional Chinese medicine clinic,it was used to treat diabetes,hyperlipemia and asa rehabilitation therapy of cancer. With deepening the basic research and industrial development of this genus,the bioactive component groups and their action mechanisms of prevention and treatment of diabetes and diabetic complication continue to be revealed. By consulting ancient Chinese herbal medicine and modern literature,the research on the herbology,material basis and mechanism of the genus Polygonatum were reviewed. The result indicated that the plants of Polygonatum were used for the treatment of diabetes,based on the ancient herbal literature and modern research,the polysaccharides,flavonoids and saponins were their active ingredients. Among them,the significant chemical constituents of decreasing blood glucose were Polygonatum polysaccharides,and the flavonoids and saponins also have this function. Although some scholars have studied the anti-diabetic efficacy and material basis of genus of Polygonatum,the pharmacodynamics,mechanism and metabolic pathways are not clear. Therefore,further strengthening of the related research of genus of Polygonatum,especially use of modern scientific and technological research to clarify the material basis of its efficacy,and mechanisms,are crucial to accelerate the modernization and development of anti-diabetic drugs and utilization of genus of Polygonatum.

OBJECTIVE Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors,and the inci-dence rate is the highest in all kinds of tumors in China. However,it remains unclear that how signifi-cantly gastric cells are dependent on glycolysis,and which type of gastric cells are sensitive to glycolysis inhibition. In this study, several kind of gastric cancer cell lines were used as the research object, and the metabolic characteristics of different cell lines were systematically analyzed to provide theoretical support for the accurate treatment of gastric cancer. METHODS We examined the energy metabolism of four gastric cancer cell lines(MGC-803,SGC-7901,HGC-27 and BGC-823)by using glycolysis inhibitor, 2-deoxy-D-glucose(2-DG)and inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation,oligomycin.Oxygen consumption rates(OCR)and L-lactate were also measured with an XF96 Analyzer(Seahorse Biosciences)to deter-mine the significance of metabolism of oxidative phosphorylation and aerobic glycolysisin gastric cells. In addition, western blot was used to detect the contribution of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and anti-apoptotic proteins(Bcl-2 and survivin)to clarify the mechanism of death or survival of gastric cancer cells treated by 2-DG or oligomycin. RESULTS In this study, it was shown that the growth of gastric cell lines were suppressed by 2-DG.However,the sensitivity to 2-DG was quite different among cell lines:IC 50 of 2-DG was from 3.28 mmol·L-1(MGC-803)to 15.57 mmol·L-1(BGC-823).MGC-803 was relatively sensitive to 2-DG (IC 50:3.28 mmol·L-1), consumed more glucose and produced more lactate (waste product of glycolysis) than the three other cell lines. Consequently, MGC-803 could be more dependent on glycolysis than other cell lines, which was further confirmed by the fact that glucose (+)FCS(-)medium showed more growth and survival than glucose(-)FCS(+)medium.Alternatively, BGC-823, most resistant to 2-DG (IC50: 15.57 mmol·L- 1), was most sensitive to oligomycin, and showed more growth and survival in glucose(-)FCS(+)medium than in glucose(+)FCS(-)medium. Thus,we had reasons to think BGC-823 cells depended on oxidative phosphorylation for energy production. In BGC-823,AMPK,which is activated when ATP becomes limiting,was rapidly phosphorylated by 2-DG, and expression of Bcl-2 was augmented,which might result in resistance to 2-DG.Interestingly,AMPK phosphorylation and augmentation of Bcl-2 expression by 2-DG were not observed in MGC-803,which is 2-DG sensitive. CONCLUSION There is a large metabolic difference between gastric cancer cell lines,which will facilitate the future gastric cancer therapy by targeting metabolic pathways.

OBJECTIVE To probe into the anti-esophagus cancer activity and mechanisms of DN3, a novel natural diterpenoid derivative. METHODS The anti-tumor activity in vitro of DN3 was evaluated by MTT, and by using human esophageal carcinoma cells xenografted into athymic mice model in vivo. The specific mechanisms of DN3, as a dual inhibitor of glycolysis and oxidative phos-phorylation(OXPHOS)were explored through cell and molecular biology techniques.For instance,the manner of cancer cell death induced by DN3 was characterized by hoechst33342, FITC-Annexin V/PI staining and flow cytometric analysis,then these changes of glucose consumption,glucose uptake and lactate production in glycolysis, as well as oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and ATP content in OXPHOS caused by DN3 were performed separately through related kits and SeahorseBioscience XF24 Extra-cellular Flux Analyzer.Furthermore,in order to obtain a clear understanding of the inhibition of DN3 to glycolysis and OXPHOS, these regulatory factors were investigated by Western blot, such as PI3K/AKT, c-Myc and p53 of glycolysis, Bax and HK2 of mitochondrial function. RESULTS DN3 inhibited the growth of esophagus cancer cell EC9706, EC109 and EC1 cells in a dose and time dependent manner,but showed no significant effects on human esophageal epithelial cells(HEECs).DN3 caused significant G2/M arrest of esophagus cancer cell lines and induced apoptosis of these cell lines, which indicated DN3 inhibited the growth of esophagus cancer cell through blocking cell cycle and inducing apoptosis in a dose and time-dependent manner. Importantly, 8 μM DN3 decreased the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) by 45% in EC109, which indicated glycolysis was inhibited by DN3. Mean-while, DN3 decreased the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and the OCR linked to intracellular ATP production in EC109 cells,but that was not obvious in HEECs,so which indicated that DN3 could selec-tively block OXPHOS of cancer cells. In addition, the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the drop of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were also observed in EC109 incubated by DN3,which suggested mitochondrial biological function was disturbed.Furthermore,the expression of PI3K/AKT, c-Myc and HK2 related to glycolysis were down-regulated by DN3, but the p53 and Bax were up-regulated in esophageal carcinoma cells. The changes of these enzymes accounted for the decreased glycolysisand OXPHOS in esophageal carcinoma cells treated by DN3. CONCLUSION The new compound DN3 has a strong anti-esophageal carcinoma activity,and it is tolerable that DN3 is seen as a dual inhibitor of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.
