AIM:To explore the influence of exogenous hydrogen sulfide ( H2 S) on coagulation and fibrinoly-sis in ferric chloride ( FeCl3 )-induced mouse carotid artery thrombosis .METHODS: The mice were divided into sham control group, model group, different concentrations (12.5, 25 and 50μmol/kg) of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, H2S do-nor) groups and 30 mg/kg clopidogrel ( positive control ) group.Intraperitoneal injection of NaHS at different concentra-tions and oral administration of clopidogrel bisulfate were performed for 3 d prior to FeCl 3-induced carotid artery thrombo-sis.The frozen sections of the carotid artery were collected to perform HE staining , and the thrombus pattern and the chan-ges of vascular pathology were observed .The thrombus was weighed to calculate thrombosis inhibitory rate .Prothrombin time ( PT) , activated partial thromboplastin time ( APTT) , fibrinogen ( FIB) and fibrinogen degradation product ( FDP) in the mice were also measured by a coagulometer .The plasma levels of thromboxane B 2 ( TXB2 ) , 6-keto-prostaglandin F 1α(6-keto-PGF1α) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) were detected by ELISA.RESULTS: Compared with model group, NaHS dose-dependently inhibited the formation of carotid artery thrombus .NaHS treatment reduced the contents of TXB2 and PAI, and recovered 6-keto-PGF1αcontent in thrombosis model group .In NaHS treatment groups , 6-keto-PGF1α/TXB2 and thrombus weight was negatively correlated .NaHS treatment prolonged PT and APTT , reduced the content of FIB, but increased the level of FDP in thrombosis model group .CONCLUSION:Hydrogen sulfide prevents FeCl 3-induced carotid artery thrombosis by inhibiting coagulation and activating fibrinolysis .

Objective:To compare the hotspots and frontiers related to polypharmacy research at home and abroad, understand the current research status of polypharmacy and provide reference for improving the current situation of polypharmacy.Methods:Taking "polypharmacy" and "polymedication" as search terms in both Chinese and English, CiteSpace 5.8.R3 software was used to analyze the publication volume, national and institutional cooperation network analysis, and publication journal analysis of the relevant literature included in the CNKI and the core collection database of Web of Science from September 1st, 2006 to September 1st, 2022. The keywords were conducted co-occurrence, clustering and burst analysis.Results:A total of 412 valid Chinese literatures and 1 447 English literatures were retrieved, and the literature focused on the field of geriatrics. The overall number of publications at home and abroad increased, showing a trend of multi-disciplinary cooperation, but the cooperation among domestic organizations was weaker than that of foreign countries. Foreign research focused on the health outcomes and control strategies of polypharmacy, and the influence of polypharmacy on social psychology and quality of life was a trend. Domestic research focused on the influencing factors of polypharmacy and medication compliance.Conclusions:Domestic scholars should pay more attention to the hotspots and trends in the field of polypharmacy and carry out deeper scientific research.

Objective:To explore the current status of medication adherence among the elderly with polypharmacy in the community, analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a reference for improving the medication adherence of the elderly on polypharmacy in the community.Methods:From July to September 2021, 600 elderly people with polypharmacy in the community were selected by convenience sampling in Hangzhou as the research object. The General Information Questionnaire, the Medication Knowledge and Medication Belief Questionnaire, and the Chinese version of the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) were used to investigate the elderly. A total of 600 questionnaires were distributed, 510 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the valid recovery rate was 85.0%.Results:Among the 510 elderly patients with polypharmacy in the community, 191 elderly patients (37.5%) had good adherence, 187 elderly patients (36.7%) had moderate adherence, and 132 elderly patients (25.9%) had poor adherence. The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistical differences in age, gender, educational level, family monthly income, type of medication, medication belief and medication knowledge ( P<0.05) . Logistic regression analysis showed that educational level, medication knowledge, and medication belief were the independent influencing factors of medication adherence among the elderly with polypharmacy, and the difference was statistical difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Medication adherence among the elderly with polypharmacy in the community of Hangzhou is poor, and medication knowledge and medication belief need to be improved. Medical and nursing staff should strengthen medication guidance, and use comprehensive interventions to conduct regular follow-up and health guidance, so as to improve medication adherence of elderly patients with polypharmacy.

Objective? To investigate the effect and safety of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy for patients after extubation in lung transplantation. Methods? A retrospective study was conducted on 60 hospitalized patients with lung transplant during January 2017 to December 2017 in Wuxi People＇s Hospital. According to the different methods of respiratory support prescribed after extubation, the patients were divided into two groups: observation group (n=28, via HFNC) and control group (n=32, via nasal oxygen tube) . The two groups were compared in terms of the clinical indicators including their blood gas analysis(oxygenation index, lactic acid, partial pressure of carbon dioxide) , viscosity of sputum and comfort, etc. Results? Six hours after extubation and before transferring to other departments, the observation group＇s oxygenation index was(263.70±48.97)and(273.22±43.26)mmHg, which were statistically different from those of the control group with (217.83±77.30)and(229.08±68.64)mmHg respectively (P＜ 0.05). Before transferring to other departments, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the observation group was (37.04±8.56)mmHg, lower than the control group with (42.43±6.14)mmHg with a statistical difference (P＜0.05); the viscosity of sputum in the obseration group was lower than the control group with statistical difference (P＜0.05); the patients＇ comfort in the observation group achieved (7.72±1.06)points, higher than the control group＇s (4.39±0.82)points with statistical difference (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions? HFNC oxygen therapy for the patients after extubation in lung transplantation has good effects, is safe and reliable, and can be widely applied in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the chemical components that were the absorbed in blood and liver tissue of rats after intragastric administration of aqueous extract from Abrus cantoniensis， and to speculate its possible metabolic pathways， providing reference for basic analysis of pharmacological substance in A. cantoniensis. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into A. cantoniensis group （0.63 g/kg， calculated by crude drug） and blank group； they were given relevant drug solution/ultrapure water intragastrically. After a single dose， plasma and liver samples of rats in each group were collected. UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology was used to identify chemical components that were absorbed in the blood and liver tissue of rats. RESULTS Totally， 30 chemical constituents were identified from the water extracts of A. cantoniensis， including alkaloids， flavonoids， organic acids， iridoids （such as L-abrine， schaftoside， isoshaftoside）. Ten prototype components and nine metabolites （such as decarboxylation and sulfation metabolites of protocatechuic acid， reduced sulfated metabolites of p-hydroxybenzoic acid） were identified from plasma samples； six prototype components and five metabolites （such as sulfated metabolites of p-hydroxybenzoic acid， decarboxylation and sulfation metabolites of p-hydroxybenzoic acid） were identified from liver samples. The main metabolic pathways included hydroxylation， demethylation， methylation， sulfation， glucuronidation， etc. CONCLUSIONS Alkaloids， flavonoids and organic acids are the main components of the aqueous extract from A. cantoniensis that are absorbed into the blood and liver， their metabolism mainly involves hydroxylation，demethylation， and sulfation.

Tumor cells have unique metabolic programming that is biologically distinct from that of corresponding normal cells. Resetting tumor metabolic programming is a promising strategy to ameliorate drug resistance and improve the tumor microenvironment. Here, we show that carboxyamidotriazole (CAI), an anticancer drug, can function as a metabolic modulator that decreases glucose and lipid metabolism and increases the dependency of colon cancer cells on glutamine metabolism. CAI suppressed glucose and lipid metabolism utilization, causing inhibition of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I, thus producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). In parallel, activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) increased glutamine uptake via the transporter SLC1A5, which could activate the ROS-scavenging enzyme glutathione peroxidase. As a result, combined use of inhibitors of GLS/GDH1, CAI could effectively restrict colorectal cancer (CRC) energy metabolism. These data illuminate a new antitumor mechanism of CAI, suggesting a new strategy for CRC metabolic reprogramming treatment.
