Objective To explore the miRNA regulating the potential cancer-promoting gene CCL18 in cutaneous malignant melanoma.Methods Bioinformatics analysis was conducted by using online software miRanda and TargetScan,so as to predict the miRNA targeting CCL18 gene.Three kinds of C CL18 3'UTR dual-luciferase reporter vectors,including mutant 3'UTR vector (mutant 3'UTR group),wildtype 3'UTR vector (wild-type 3'UTR group) and empty vector (blank control group),as well as miRNA vectors carring selected miRNAs were constructed according to human gene sequence analysis,and then were used to co-transfect 293T cells.After 48-hour treatment,the cells were lysed for detection of luciferase activity.Real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR was performed to measure the expression of CCL 18 and selected miRNA in 14 fresh malignant melanoma tissue specimens and 14 paracancerous normal skin tissue specimens (control tissues),and their correlations were analyzed.Results Online software analysis showed that some miRNAs were identified to target the 3'UTR of CCL18 gene,including miR-183,miR-128 and miR-33a.Luciferase reporter vectors and miRNA vectors were constructed successfully.As luciferase activity assay showed,when miR-183 and miR-128 were bound to the CCL18 3'UTR,the luciferase activities were significantly higher in their mutant 3'UTR groups (11.63 ± 0.42;8.80 ± 0.49) than in their wild-type 3'UTR groups (4.86 ± 0.39;5.01 ± 0.54;both P ＜ 0.05) and blank control groups (2.41 ± 0.13;2.39 ± 0.05;both P ＜ 0.01),while there were no significant differences between miR-33a-hinding mutant 3'UTR group (6.41 ± 0.47) and miR-33a-binding wild-type 3'UTR group (6.16 ± 0.22,P ＞ 0.05).Real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR revealed higher mRNA expression of the CCL18 gene (3.52 ± 1.68),but lower expression of miR-183 (0.49 ± 0.32),miR-128 (0.30 ± 0.20) and miR-33a (0.46 ± 0.40) in the malignant melanoma tissues compared with the control tissues.The mRNA expression of the CCL18 gene was negatively correlated with the expression of miR-128 (rs =-0548,P ＜ 0.05),but showed no significant correlations with the expression of miR-183 and miR-33a (both P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion miR-128 may play a role in regulating the potential malignant melanoma-promoting gene CCL18.

There is an increasing histological clinical evidence that both hepatic fibrosis and some degree of cirrhosis reversal can improve prognosis. Hepatic fibrosis involves a variety of cells and steps, and its reversal mechanism is also very complex, mainly including the reduction of hepatocyte necrosis and regeneration, the apoptosis and inactivation of activated hepatic stellate cells, and the reversal of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells and microvessels, restorative hepatic macrophages polarization and cell-to-cell interactions. Furthermore, the biochemical basis for reversal of hepatic fibrosis is decreased expression of matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors, up-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase activity, and increased degradation of extracellular matrix. However, at present, there are few studies on the clinicopathological mechanism of liver fibrosis reversal, and the key target groups of different etiologies with different degrees are still unclear, and the corresponding translational application research is lacking. Therefore, an in-depth and systematic understanding of the characteristics and mechanisms of hepatic fibrosis reversal can not only enrich the understanding of the natural history of hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis, but also provide reference for the development and clinical application of anti-hepatic fibrotic drugs.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of all-trans retinoic acid(ATRA)on the function of NK cells dam-aged by oxidative stress in liver fibrosis.Methods:Mouse model with liver injury was established by carbon tetrachloride(CCl4),biochemical and pathological assays were used to evaluate the degree of liver injury and fibrosis in mice,and changes of NK cells and oxidative stress injury in liver tissue of mice were observed.In vitro,NK92 cell lines damaged by H2O2 oxidative stress were evaluated the protective effect of ATRA.Results:Liver inflammation and fibrosis were suppressed and liver function was improved in CCl4 model mice by ATRA treatment.ATRA could increase SOD activity and GSH content in liver tissue,which promoted the proportion and num-ber of hepatic NK cells.ATRA could protect NK cells from oxidative damage and apoptosis induced by H2O2 in vitro.Conclusion:ATRA can ameliorate liver injury and fibrosis induced by CCl4,which may be related to the inhibition of oxidative stress on NK cells.

With the progress of society and the continuous improvement of people′s living standards in China, the public′s demand for medical services is becoming increasingly diversified. How to move hospital services forward and improve medical services centered on patients has become a key consideration for hospitals to enhance patients′ sense of medical satisfaction. A certain hospital has established a one-stop patient service hotline, integrating functions such as number inquiry, medical consultation, appointment registration, appointment examination, praise and suggestions, complaint follow-up, etc., injecting a complaint handling management mode, and responding to and solving patient feedback problems in a timely manner. Since the launch of the patient service hotline, it has effectively solved the problems that patients encountered during their visits, effectively reduced the hospital′s complaint rate, and initially formed a service closed-loop management. From March to October 2023, the demand ratio of the 12345 hotline in the hospital has continuously decreased, and was significantly lower than the average level of 22 municipal hospitals in Beijing. In the future, we should further improve the communication skills between doctors and patients, focus on managing appeals and services, and continue to strengthen proactive governance.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of Fuzheng Huayu(FZHY) decoction in the treatment of liver cancer based on network pharmacology. Methods TCMSP, BATMAN, and Drugbank databases were searched for the main chemical components and corresponding targets of FZHY, and STRING database was used to perform a PPI network analysis. Cytoscape software was used to establish a drug-disease network model and perform a network analysis, and R language was used to perform GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of targets. Results A total of 192 intersection genes between FZHY and liver cancer and 95 potential compounds were screened out, among which quercetin and luteolin were the active components with an important regulatory role. INS, IL-6, and EGFR were the key targets for the potential effect of FZHY. The GO enrichment analysis showed the involvement in various biological processes such as response to drug and response to oxygen level, and the KEGG enrichment analysis showed the involvement in the signaling pathways including apoptosis and tumor necrosis factor signaling pathways. Conclusion Based on the method of network pharmacology, this study reveals the mechanism of action of multiple targets and targets of FZHY in the treatment of liver cancer, which provides a theoretical basis for clinical and basic scientific research.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Fuzheng Huayu prescription on hepatocyte extinction and regeneration in fibrotic liver and its mechanism of action in promoting hepatocyte regeneration. MethodsMice were given intraperitoneal injection of CCl₄ for 6 weeks to establish a model of liver cirrhosis， and there were 10 mice in the model group， 10 in the sorafenib group， 10 in the Fuzheng Huayu prescription group， and 9 in the normal control group. Since week 4 of modeling， the mice in the Fuzheng Huayu prescription group and the sorafenib group were given the corresponding drug by gavage at a dose of 4.8 g/kg and 4 mg/kg， respectively， for three consecutive weeks， and those in the normal group and the model group were given an equal volume of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Serum liver function parameters were measured； the METAVIR scoring system was used to evaluate liver inflammation and fibrosis stage； Sirius Red staining and hydroxyproline （Hyp） content in liver tissue were used to evaluate collagen deposition； immunohistochemistry was used to measure the protein expression levels of type IV collagen， CD31， CD32b， Ki67， CyclinD1， glutamine synthetase， Wnt2， and HGF， and Western blot was used to measure the expression levels of Wnt2， LRP6， β-catenin， p-β-catenin， and CyclinD1 in liver tissue. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the model group， the Fuzheng Huayu prescription group and the sorafenib group showed the following changes： significant reductions in the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase and the content of Hyp in liver tissue （all P<0.01）； a significant reduction in METAVIR score； significant reductions in the expression levels of type Ⅳ collagen and CD31 （all P<0.05） and a significant increase in the expression level of CD32b （P<0.01）； significant reductions in the number of parenchymal extinction lesions and significant increases in the expression levels of Ki67 and CyclinD1 in liver tissue （all P<0.01）； significant increases in the protein expression levels of Wnt2， LRP6， β-catenin， and CyclinD1 and a significant reduction in the protein expression level of p-β-catenin （all P<0.05）； significant increases in the number of cells stained positive for both CD32b and Wnt2. ConclusionFuzheng Huayu prescription can inhibit hepatic sinusoidal capillarization， improve the Wnt2 exocrine function of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells， activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway associated with hepatocyte regeneration， and finally reverse liver cirrhosis.
