By studying the current situation of multi-agent collaborative innovation and clinical achievements transformation at home and abroad, it is clear that multi-agent collaborative innovation is the only way for clinical research achievements transformation under the current background. This paper proposes a set of transformation path of clinical research achievements based on the multi-agent collaborative innovation platform of "production, teaching, research and medicine", which is supported by policy guidance and innovation management, and explore the role of equipment management department in achievement transformation.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the quality of research and evidence related to antihypertensive Chinese patent medicines combined with western medicines for the treatment of hypertension, synthesize and update the evidence, form expert consensus, and provide evidence for clinical decision-making. MethodThe databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Data Knowledge Service Platform (WanFang), Vip Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System (Sinomed), National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and US Clinical Trials Registry were searched for randomized controlled trials of antihypertensive Chinese medicine combined with western medicine for the treatment of hypertension from database construction to July 31, 2022. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the bias risk assessment tool in Cochrane Handbook 6.3. Evidence synthesis of main outcome indicators was performed using R software. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation profiler (GRADEprofiler) 3.6 was employed to evaluate the quality of evidence. Expert consensus was formed based on the Delphi method after two rounds of voting. Result64 pieces of literature were included, and the results of literature quality evaluation and risk of bias showed that 70.31% (45/64) of the studies indicated some risks, and 29.69% (19/64) indicated high risks. Compared with conventional western medicines, the combination of Chinese patent medicines with western medicines can significantly lower systolic pressure (SBP) and diastolic pressure (DBP), increase the effective rate of antihypertensive, reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, endothelin-1, and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores. Egger's test showed that Songling Xuemaikang capsules reduced SBP and DBP. Tianma Gouteng granules reduced SBP and DBP and increased the effective rate of antihypertensive, and Xinmaitong capsules reduced SBP and increased the effective rate of antihypertensive, without significant publication bias. Songling Xuemaikang capsules increased the effective rate of antihypertensive, and Xinmaitong capsules decreased DBP, with significant publication bias. The results of the GRADE evidence quality evaluation showed that most evidence was at grades B and C. Finally, four strong recommendations and 14 weak recommendations were formed. ConclusionCompared with conventional western medicines for the treatment of hypertension, antihypertensive Chinese patent medicines combined with western medicines have advantages in reducing blood pressure and improving drug use safety, but they are mostly weak recommendations in terms of efficacy, and more high-quality evidence is needed.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanisms and cell-cell interactions in the injury process of pancreatic islet transplantation. Methods Single-cell transcriptome data from mouse islets treated with inflammatory factors were used, and data processing was performed using the Seurat package, with integrated data to remove batch effects. Cell subpopulations were annotated based on known markers. Cell-cell interactions in the inflammatory factor-treated group were analyzed using the CellChat package, and inferred based on the expression of cell surface receptors and ligands. Gene set enrichment analysis was used to clarify the biological processes enriched in β-cells after treatment with inflammatory factors. Finally, differentially expressed transcription factors were identified and verified using microarray datasets of donor islet ischemic injury and Western blotting. Results A total of 7 different cell subpopulations were found in mouse islets, with β-cells being the most abundant. Cell-cell interaction network analysis showed that the number and strength of interactions between ductal cells and other cells were the highest. Gene set enrichment analysis showed that after treatment with inflammatory factors, the immune response was positively enriched in β-cells, while peptide hormone metabolism, bile acid metabolism, and ion homeostasis were downregulated. The common differential transcription factors identified in the mouse single-cell transcriptome and the microarray dataset of donor islet ischemic injury were early growth response 1 (EGR1), nuclear factor-κB inhibitor α (NFKBIA), and activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3). Among them, NFKBIA and ATF3 were upregulated, while EGR1 was downregulated. The expression of EGR1 protein was downregulated after 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h of cold ischemia. Conclusions EGR1 is a transcription factor closely related to islet cold ischemia, and future research should focus on the specific mechanisms of EGR1 and its downstream target genes, in order to provide more effective strategies for clinical treatment of islet transplantation.
