ObjectiveThis study investigated the mechanism of Wenjingtang in the prevention and treatment of endometriosis (EMT) from the perspective of regulating hypoxia stress and mitochondrial function. MethodPrimary human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) form ectopic endometrial tissues were isolated and cultured, the cells were divided into control group (Control), 5% control serum group (5% KBXQ), 10% control serum group (10% KBXQ), 5% Wenjingtang serum group (5% WJTXQ) and 10% Wenjingtang serum group (10% WJTXQ). ESCs in different groups were detected for proliferation by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, mRNA and protein expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot analysis, mitochondrial ultrastructure by transmission electron microscope, mitochondrial function [mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP) and cytochrome C(Cyt C) content] and apoptosis (cell membrane permeability, nuclear fluorescence intensity, nuclear size and cell counts) by high content screening (HCS) assay, apoptosis rate by flow cytometry, and proteins of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) associated X (Bax), Bcl-2 and cleaved cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3 (cleaved Caspase-3) by Western blot. ResultCompared with Control group, the 5% KBXQ and 10% KBXQ groups showed increased cell viability (P<0.01), there was no significant change in HIF-1α mRNA and protein expression, transmission electron microscopy showed that the mitochondrial cristae were obvious and the inner and outer membranes of mitochondria were clear, HCS multichannel fluorescence staining showed that there were no significant changes in the expression of MMP, Cyt C and cell membrane permeability, and the nuclei showed uniform light staining, there were no significant changes in apoptosis rate, cleaved Caspase-3 protein expression and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Compared with Control group and corresponding concentration KBXQ group, the 5% WJTXQ and 10% WJTXQ group showed decreased cell viability (P<0.01) and HIF-1α mRNA and protein levels (P<0.05,P<0.01), the ultrastructure of mitochondria was destroyed, some mitochondria were swollen and the cristae were blurred, moreover, decreased MMP and up-regulated Cyt C release (P<0.05,P<0.01), increased cell membrane permeability (P<0.01), and apoptosis characteristics included nuclear pyknosis, DNA agglutination in nucleus and decrease of cell numbers were observed (P<0.05,P<0.01), increased apoptosis rate (P<0.01), which was consistent with the results of HCS analysis, and up-regulated expression levels of cleaved Caspase-3 protein and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio (P<0.05,P<0.01). ConclusionIn conclusion, the results suggest that Wenjingtang can improve hypoxia stress via down-regulating HIF-1α expression in ectopic ESCs, and inhibit cell proliferation, reduce mitochondrial biological activity and induce apoptosis, which might be the internal mechanism of Wenjingtang in preventing and treating EMT.

Objective: To describe a technique of endoscopic transoral approach nasopharyngectomy for petroclival and jugular foramen nasopharyngeal carcinoma, based on anatomic studies and surgeries. Methods: Three dry human skulls and five fresh human cadaver heads were used for anatomic study of a endoscopic transoral approach to expose petroclival and jugular foramen. The anatomical landmarks and the extent of exposure were recorded. Six clinical cases who were treated in Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University from June 2020 to April 2022 were used to illustrate the technique and feasibility of this approach and to assess its indications and advantages, including 3 males and 3 females, aged 42 to 69 years old. Descriptive analysis was used in this research. Results: On the basis of the preservation of the internal pterygoid muscle and the external pterygoid muscle, this approach could fully expose the parapharyngeal, petrosal and paraclival segment internal carotid arteries, and safely deal with the lesions of jugular foramen and petroclival region. The 6 patients in our study tolerated the procedure well. Postoperative enhanced MRI showed complete resection of the tumor and no postoperative masticatory dysfunction. Conclusion: Endoscopic transoral approach is a safe, minimally invasive and effective surgical treatment for petroclival and jugular foramen recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective: To investigate the association between physical exercise and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in people infected with HBV. Methods: The information about the 3 813 participants infected with HBV, including the prevalence of NAFLD, prevalence of physical exercise and other covariates, were collected from the National Science and Technology Major Project of China during 2016-2020. The logistic regression model was used to evaluate the association between physical exercise and NAFLD in HBV infected patients, and subgroup analysis was performed to identify the effect modifiers. Results: A total of 2 259 HBV infected participants were included in the final analysis and 454 (20.10%) had NAFLD. After adjusting for covariates, we found that moderate physical exercise was a protective factor for NAFLD (OR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.46-0.94). Subgroup analysis suggested that the protective effect of moderate physical exercise on NAFLD might be stronger in women (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.36-1.01), those <45 years old (OR=0.24, 95%CI: 0.06-0.80), those who had low education level (OR=0.16, 95%CI: 0.04-0.49), those who had low annual income (OR=0.39, 95%CI: 0.16-0.89 for <30 000 yuan RMB; OR=0.64, 95%CI: 0.40-1.00 for 30 000-80 000 yuan RMB), those who had hypertension (OR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.21-0.88), those with BMI ≥24.0 kg/m2 (OR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.43-1.01), those who had more daily fruit or vegetable intake (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.38-0.97), those who had more daily meat intake (OR=0.49, 95%CI: 0.23-0.97), and those who had no smoking history (OR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.45-0.95) or passive smoking exposure (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.37-0.97). Conclusions: Among HBV infected patients, moderate physical exercise was negatively associated with the prevalence of NAFLD. Women, young people, those who had low education level, those who had low annual income, those with hypertension, those with high BMI, those who had more daily fruit or vegetable and meat intakes, and those who had no smoking history or passive smoking exposure might be more sensitive to the protective effect.
