Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide,with its incidence and mortality rates ranking third among malignant tumors in China.Regulated cell death(RCD)is a type of cell death activated by signal transduction modules and closely connected to the progression and treatment of gastric cancer.Different types of RCD,comprising apoptosis,pyroptosis,ferroptosis,cuproptosis,and autophagy,not only aid in eliminating damaged cells,but also serve a crucial role in suppressing gastric cancer spread.This paper reviews different forms of RCD and their roles in the progression of gastric cancer,so as to provide reference for new diagnosis and treatment strategies of gastric cancer.

Background and objectiveEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and KARS must be detected mu-tation status before patients of lung cancer use targeted drugs. The aim of this study is to elucidate the signiifcance ofEGFR and KARS mutation in ifne needle aspiration (FNA) cytology suspension specimens of non-small cell lung carcinoma.Methods EGFR gene exons 18-21 andKARS codons 12, 13 of exons 2 were performed by Real-time PCR methods in ifne needle aspira-tion cytology suspension specimens of lymph nodes.Results 85 metastasis lymph nodes were detected in ifne needle aspira-tion cytology samples of lung cancer.EGFR mutation rate was 37.3%.KARS mutation rate was 7.2%. 19 formalin ifxed paraffn-embedded tissue specimens were available and match cytology specimens. Analysis ofEGFRmutation status in those samples revealed agreement with the results obtained in cytological samples (kappa=1.0). Clinical follow-up was available for 13 who presented with stage IV disease. Based on the identiifcation of such mutations, these patients received subsequent therapy with a TKI in clinic. We observed two cases complete remission (16.7%) and 8 cases partial remission (66.7%) and three had ongo-ing stable disease.ConclusionFine-needle aspiration cytology samples were detectedEGFR andKARS mutation. The meth-od which collects samples was easier, simple and convenient. This method has higher application value in clinical treatment.

METHODSTwenty-five cases of placental chorioangioma were analyzed for their clinical data, histomorphology and immumohisto chemical staining. Relevant literature was reviewed.

RESULTSThe average age of the 25 patients was 29 years. Fourteen patients had full-term pregnancy, 10 had preterm labor, and 1 had intrauterine fetal death. Nineteen patients had pregnancy complications. The tumors presented as red or dusty pink nodules with clear borders. The tumor size ranged from 1 to 16 cm. Microscopically, the tumors possessed abundant capillaries or cavernous blood spaces lined by hyperplastic endothelial cells. These cells were positive for CD34 and Ki-67 index < 10%.

CONCLUSIONSPlacental chorioangioma is a rare benign tumor of the placenta, and is associated with various pregnancy complications. Misdiagnosis of cell-rich type tumor should be avoided.

Objective:To examine 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) RNA in clinical specimens of COVID-19 patients in Anhui province, and provide evidence for laboratory diagnosis of COVID-19 and risk assessment of clinical specimens.Methods:ORF1ab gene and N gene of 2019-nCoV were detected by real-time fluorescence RT-PCR in 466 clinical specimens of 197 COVID-19 cases. Chi-square test was used to analyze the differences in positive rates of specimens with clinical classification and time of onset.Results:The positive rates of 2019-nCoV in throat swab, sputum, serum, blood sample were 88.83%, 94.67%, 6.78% and 5.08%. The positive rate for 2019-nCoV RNA in throat swabs and sputum differed significantly ( χ2=8.994, P=0.003) in common cases during 7 days after illness onset. Conclusions:The positive rate of RNA in sputum was higher than throat swabs. 2019-nCoV RNA was detected in serum and blood specimens of COVID-19 cases. There was a risk of serum and blood specimens for transmission of COVID-19.

ObjectiveBy starting with the combination of Os Draconis， Bupleuri Radix， and Ostreae Concha， the role of mineral medicine Os Draconis in the combination of the Bupleuri Radix-containing tri-herbal medicines was preliminarily explored from the perspective of supramolecular system formation. Method① The appearance and Tyndall phenomenon of single decoction of Os Draconis， Bupleuri Radix， and Ostreae Concha， as well as co-decoction of Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis， Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha， and Bupleuri Radix-Ostreae Concha were observed， and the average particle size， dispersion coefficient， and Zeta potential of suspension particles in each decoction were determined. The micromorphology of supramolecular structures was observed by scanning electron microscope （SEM）. ② The pH of different compatibility systems， liquid viscosity coefficient， liquid surface tension， freeze-dried powder yield rate， and other physical properties were determined， and the interaction of different compatibility systems was detected by infrared absorption spectroscopy （FTIR） and UV-visible spectrophotometry （UV-Vis）. ③ The composition and content difference of different compatible systems were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-TOF-MS）. ResultCompared with the single decoction， the co-decoction had more obvious turbidity and Tyndall phenomenon. The particles in the co-decoction suspension were smaller and more evenly distributed， and the Zeta potential was reduced， indicating a more stable system. Under SEM， Bupleuri Radix was irregularly lamellar， and Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis and Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha were mainly spherical nanoparticles. Bupleuri Radix-Ostreae Concha was irregularly lamellar， with a small number of spherical nanoparticles. The pH of the single decoction of Bupleuri Radix and co-decoction increased， and the viscosity coefficient increased. The liquid surface tension decreased. The freeze-dried powder yield rate of the Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis co-decoction was the highest， followed by Bupleuri Radix-Ostreae Concha decoction and Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha decoction， and the yield rate of Bupleuri Radix single decoction was the lowest. The main change of FTIR was the stretching vibration of -OH， and the co-decoction moved to the low-frequency direction obviously. UV-Vis showed that the maximum absorption occurred at 295.8 nm for all groups， and the absorption intensity was different （Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis>Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha>Bupleuri Radix-Ostreae Concha>Bupleuri Radix）. The components of Bupleuri Radix were used as the indexes， and the content of methanol extract determined by HPLC was higher than that of water extract， and the components of Bupleuri Radix single decoction were mainly saikosaponin a （SSa） and saikosaponin c （SSc）， which were slightly higher after co-decoction compatibility. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS could identify 37 compounds in both single decoction and co-decoction. ConclusionThe combination of Bupleuri Radix， Os Draconis， and Ostreae Concha can form a smaller， more uniform， and stable nano-sized supramolecular system， which is conducive to the dissolution of the main components of Bupleuri Radix， and the Os Draconis contributes the most in this process.
