AIM: Study on the effects of Xianhuahuogudan Granule (XHHGDG) (Radix et Rhizowa Salviae uiltiorrhizae, Rhizoma Drynariae,etc) in treatment of steroid-induced avascular necrosis of femoral head in order to provide basis for clinical use. METHODS: 40 full-grown well New Zealand rabbits were divided randomly into four groups:normal group,model group,MaShGuPian group and XHHGDG group.Except the normal group, The other three groups were administered intramuscularly with steroid.From the 9 th week after production of models,the normal group and the model group were treated with normal saline,XHHGDG group with XHHGDG aqueous solution,and MaShGuPian group with MaShGuPian aqueous solution.All of the rabbits were killed 14 weeks after baseline for the research material. After making pathomorphology of bone,blood viscosity and content of blood lipid will be acquired. RESULTS: The blood viscosity and content of blood lipid were lower significantly in the XHHGDG group than those in the model group.Compared with model group,XHHGDG group significantly showed followings:the small bone trabeculas were fuller;most of bone cells were normal.Although of adipose cell existed in the margin of marrow,the cells for producing blood were enriched;numbers of empty bone lacuna were 16.4%(P

Objective:To know the current situation of curriculum construction of "Fundamentals of Toxicology" of preventive medicine major in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) universities.Methods:The undergraduates of preventive medicine major from TCM universities in whole China were selected as the research objects using the cluster sampling method, who took "Fundamentals of Toxicology" course in the 2019-2020 academic year. Questionnaires were compiled and analyzed using descriptive method and radar chart.Results:Six TCM universities were investigated in this study. According to the results, 83.09% (344/414) thought it was necessary to set up the "Fundamentals of Toxicology" course, and the main motivation was to deal with the examination. The agreement rate between the opening semester and the students' wishes was 59.90% (248/414), and the percentages of better satisfaction of theoretical course teaching content, selection of teaching materials and class time were 64.73% (268/414), 55.07% (228/414) and 59.90% (248/414) respectively. The satisfaction rate of experimental course setting, teaching effect and class time was 59.66% (247/414), 62.08% (257/414) and 58.21% (241/414) respectively. It was better to set five times [27.29% (113/414)] or four times [26.81% (111/414)], and four students in each group was the best [53.86% (223/414)]. The most interesting experiment project was bone marrow micronucleus test [29.21% (59/202)], and comprehensive design experiments and highly operable experimental projects should be added. The radar chart of the core knowledge was normal operation type, and there were some differences among students in different schools.Conclusion:There are some differences in the course setting and core knowledge mastery level of the "Fundamentals of Toxicology" course of preventive medicine major in TCM universities. It is necessary to optimize the curriculum construction from opening semester, textbook selection, teaching content, experimental project, etc.

【Objective】 To explore the differentially expressed genes in normal prostate and prostate cancer (PCa) tissues based on bioinformatics and screen out potential biomarkers for PCa, so as to provide scientific basis for later clinical medicine. 【Methods】 Three gene chip datasets of GSE55945, GSE46602 and GSE69223 were downloaded from GEO database, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened by the OmicStudio tools, and protein-protein interaction network (PPI) of DEGs was constructed by STRING. After Cytoscape was imported, CytoHubba plug-in was used to screen the top 30 genes in MCC score as key genes (Hub gene). DAVID was used for GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of Hub gene, and GraphPad Prism software was used to draw ROC curve. GEPIA database was used to verify the key genes, and survival analysis was further carried out. UALCAN was used to verify the correlation between the expression of key genes and Gleason grade of PCa. 【Results】 Three data sets (GSE55945, GSE46602 and GSE69223) obtained 428, 727 and 1285 differentially expressed genes, respectively. The Venn diagram shows that the three datasets contain 105 DEGs. Among 105 PPI networks corresponding to DEGs, the top 30 genes with MCC score were selected as Hub genes. The biological processes involved mainly include the positive regulation of protein kinase B signal, cell differentiation, positive regulation of transcription, negative regulation of transforming growth factor β receptor signaling pathway, positive regulation of cell migration, etc. The pathways involved are adhesion plaque, estrogen signaling pathway, etc. ROC curve results showed that the diagnostic ability of 9 genes in 3 data sets was statistically significant, and 9 Hub genes were CAV1, KDR, CAV2, TGFBR1, SLC7A11, GSTM2, GSTM3, GSTM5 and MYO6. Nine Hub genes were verified by GEPIA website, among which CAV1, KDR, CAV2, TGFBR1, GSTM2, GSTM3 and GSTM5 showed low expression in PCa, while SLC7A11 and MYO6 showed high expression in PCa. Survival analysis suggested that high GSTM5 expression prolonged OS in PCa patients. UALCAN results showed that the expression of GSTM5 gene was significantly correlated with Gleason grade, and the expression of GSTM5 gene decreased with the increase of Gleason score. 【Conclusion】 Hub genes CAV1, KDR, CAV2, TGFBR1, GSTM2, GSTM3 and GSTM5 are low expression in PCa, while SLC7A11 and MYO6 are high expression in PCa. GSTM5 gene is related to the survival rate of PCa. The expression of GSTM5 decreased with the increase of Gleason score, which indicated that GSTM5 may be a potential biomarker for PCa.
