OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effect of Tibetan medicine Compound Duoxuekang capsules on the acute lung injury in mice induced by lipopolysaccharide. METHODS:60 KM mice were randomly divided into blank group,model group,dexamethasone group (positive control,1 mg/kg) and Compound Duoxuekang high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose groups (3.6,1.8,0.9 g/kg,calculated by crude drug),10 in each group. Intragastrically administrated,mice in blank group and model group intragastrically administrated equal volume of normal saline,once a day. After 7 d of administration,except for blank group, mice in other groups intraperitoneally injected lipopolysaccharide to induce acute lung injury. After 6 h modeling,pathological changes in the lung tissue was observed,lung tissue water content was measured,superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxi-dase(GSH-Px),malondialdehyde(MDA)levels in lung tissue and IL-6,TNF-α levels in serum were detected. RESULTS:Com-pared with blank group,mice in model group showed pathological changes in congestion and edema,inflammatory cell infiltra-tion,obvious widened alveolar septum and alveolar wall;water content in lung tissue and IL-6,TNF-αlevels in serum were signifi-cantly increased (P<0.01);SOD,GSH-Px levels in lung tissue were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with model group,injury degree of lung tissue reduced to varying degrees in each treatment group,except for the water content,MDA level in lung tissue and TNF-α level in serum in Compound Duoxuekang capsules low-dose group;the above-mentioned indexes in other groups were significantly improved (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Compound Duoxuekang capsules can obviously re-duce mice's oxidative stress and inflammatory response,and has certain protective effect on acute lung injury in mice.

Objective To evaluate the value of the ratio of optic nerve sheath diameter to eyeball transverse diameter (ONSD/ETD) in assessing intracranial pressure using ultrasound in the patients with brain injury.Methods Forty-six patients of both sexes with brain injury in the surgical intensive care unit,were selected.Craniotomy was performed within 24 h after admission to hospital,and the intracranial pressure probe was placed in the lateral cerebral ventricle of the enrolled patients who were aged 18-80 yr,with Glasgow Coma Scale score 3-15.ONSD and ETD were measured within 3 days after operation,three times a day,and the intracranial pressure was simultaneously recorded.The correlation between ONSD/ETD ratio and intracranial pressure were analyzed using the Pearson correlation analysis.The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of ONSD/ETD ratio in assessing the intracranial hypertension (intracranial pressure>20 mmHg).Results The ONSD/ETD ratio was positively correlated with intracranial pressure (r =0.720,P<0.01).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.900 (95% confidence interval 0.854-0.946),and the threshold was 0.248 (sensitivity 89.4%,specificity 77.5%).Conclusion The ONSD/ETD ratio produces higher accuracy in assessing intracranial pressure in the patients with brain injury.

Objective To compare the effect of discrete trial training(DTT),pivotal response treatment(PRT)and a combination of DTT and PRT on joint attention in children aged three to six years with mild to moderate autism spectrum disor-der(ASD). Methods From January,2023 to March,2024,39 children with ASD aged 36 to 72 months in Tiger Children's Rehabili-tation Center in Shanghai were randomly divided into DTT,PRT and combination groups,who received DTT,PRT and a combination of DTT and PRT,respectively,for ten weeks.They were assessed with Joint Attention As-sessment Scale for children with ASD before and after intervention. Results Two cases in DTT group and one case in PRT group dropped down,resulting in a final sample of 36 cases.The main effects of group(F=11.225,P<0.001)and time(F=416.935,P<0.001)were significant,as well as the interaction(F=10.501,P<0.001),and the combination group was the best during intervention and follow-up(P<0.05). Conclusion Both DTT and PRT may improve joint attention in children with ASD,and the combination of DTT and PRT is the best.

Tumor metastasis is the major cause of death for tumor patients and the key bottleneck of clinical treatment. In recent years, basic and clinical studies have recognized that tumor microenvironment (TME) is highly correlated with tumor metastasis, which provides hope for anti-metastatic drug development and clinical treatment. At present, the mainstream studies on TME represented by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) mainly focus on the rectification of immune function of T cells and B cells. However, a large number of studies have shown that the significance of other members of TME for tumor metastasis cannot be ignored, which greatly reflects the progress of anti-metastatic research based on TME regulation. This review focused on tumor metastasis, summarized the mechanism of action of non-T and non-B immune cells [tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs)] and non-immune members [vascular endothelial cells (ECs), tumor-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and blood platelet] in the process of tumor metastasis in TME based on the literature over the recent five years, and explored their key value in the treatment of metastasis. At the treatment level, this review focused on the perspective of the integration of frontier and traditional methods and took the functional homeostasis remodeling of TME as the entry point to summarize the activity and mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) regulation of non-T and non-B immune cells and non-immune members and highlight its advantages and characteristics in clinical intervention of metastasis. This review helps to break through the limitations of over-reliance on T and B immune cells in anti-metastatic research, make the research rely on a wider range of cell groups, explore the potential value of TME in anti-metastatic drug intervention, and enrich the idea and strategy of understanding the anti-metastatic pharmacological activity. The review is also expected to provide a broader vision for the research and development of new anti-metastatic drugs.

Demyelination of the central nervous system often occurs in neurodegenerative diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). The myelin sheath, a layer of myelin membrane wrapping the axon, plays a role in the rapid conduction and metabolic coupling of impulses for neurons. The exposure of the axon will lead to axonal degeneratio, and further neuronal degeneration, which is the main cause of dysfunction and even disability in patients with demyelinating neurodegenerative diseases. In addition to the demyelination of mature myelin sheath, remyelination disorder is also one of the major reasons leading to the development of the diseases. The myelin sheath is composed of oligodendrocytes (OLs) derived from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) which are differentiated from neural stem cells (NSCs). The process of myelin regeneration, i.e., remyelination, is the differentiation of NSCs into OLs. Recent studies have shown that this process is regulated by a variety of genes. MicroRNAs, as important regulators of neurodegenerative diseases, form a complex regulatory network in the process of myelin regeneration. This review summarizes the main molecular pathways of myelin regeneration and microRNAs involved in this process and classifies the mechanisms and targets. This review is expected to provide a theoretical reference for the future research on the treatment of demyelinating diseases by targeting the regulation of microRNAs.
