[Abstract] Objective: To explore the key genes and molecular mechanisms of liver metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC), and to provide potential targets and biomarkers for the treatment of CRC with liver metastasis. Methods: Based on the bioinformatics method, the gene data sets of CRC liver metastasis were downloaded from the GEO database to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs); the GO and KEGG enrichment analyses of DEGs were performed by using DAVID online tool, and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to screen out the key genes, and subsequently the prognosis was analyzed. Results: A total of 321 DEGs were selected from 183 CRC specimens and 39 liver metastasis specimens, including 153 up-regulated genes and 168 downregulated genes. The results of enrichment analysis of GO and KEGG showed that the functions of DEGs were mainly related to protein activation cascade, inflammatory response, extracellular matrix, platelet degranulation, complement and coagulation cascade reaction etc. 8 key CRC genes (ALB, APOB, FGA, F2, APOA1, SERPINC1, FGG and AHSG) were screened by PPI network. Survival
analysis showed that patients with high expressions of SERPINC1 and FGG had poor prognosis(all P<0.05). Conclusion: The biological
functions and signaling pathways of DEGs are related to the occurrence and development of liver metastasis. The 8 key genes may
be the potential therapeutic targets of CRC liver metastasis, and SERPINC1 and FGG may be new prognostic markers.

OBJECTIVEOn the basic therapy, to assess the clinical effects of dynamic scalp acupuncture, scalp acupuncture combined with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) therapy and simple PNF therapy for upper limb motor impairment in ischemic post-stroke spastic hemiplegia.
METHODSA total of 90 cases were randomly assigned into a PNF group, a dynamic scalp acupuncture group and a scalp acupuncture group, 30 cases in each group. Basic therapy and PNF therapy were applied in the three groups. PNF therapy was used during scalp acupuncture in the dynamic scalp acupuncture group. PNF therapy was applied after scalp acupuncture in the scalp acupuncture group. The points were the upper 1/5 and middle 2/5 of (MS 6) and (MS 7) at the lesion side, the hemiparalysis contralateral side. The treatment was given for 6 months, once a day and 1 month as a course. The modified Ashworth scale (MAS), the Fugl-Meyer motor assessment (FMA) and Barthel index (BI) were observed before treatment and 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment.
RESULTSThe MAS 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after treatment were improved compared with those before treatment in the three groups ( all <0.05), and the MAS results in the dynamic scalp acupuncture group were better than those in the PNF and scalp acupuncture group (all <0.05). The FMA and BI scores 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after treatment were higher than those before treatment (all <0.05). The FMA Scores in the 3 time points and after treatment in the dynamic scalp acupuncture group were higher than those in the other two groups (all <0.05).
CONCLUSIONPNF therapy during scalp acupuncture can relieve the spasmodic condition of patients with upper limb motor impairment in ischemic post-stroke spasmodic hemiplegia, and improve the limb function and life activity, which is better than PNF therapy after scalp acupuncture and simple PNF therapy.

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and mechanism of Danshen Zexie decoction in treating the rats with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). MethodSixty male SD rats were randomized into control group, model group, essentiale (polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules, 0.144 g·kg-1) group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose Danshen Zexie decoction (1.16, 2.32, and 4.64 g·kg-1, respectively) groups. The rat model of MAFLD was established with high fat diet, and 8-week therapy started at the induction of MAFLD. The serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), as well as the liver levels of TC, TG, free fatty acid (FFA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA), were measured. The pathological changes of liver were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and oil red O staining, and the steatosis score and oil red O staining area were calculated. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the liver was detected by immunofluorescence. The protein levels of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), p-AMPK, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC), glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate: quinine oxidoreductase (NQO1) in the liver were determined by Western blot. ResultCompared with control group, the modeling of MAFLD elevated the levels of TC, TG, ALT, and AST in the serum and TC, TG, FFA, MDA, and ROS in the liver (P<0.01), lowered the levels of SOD and GSH and down-regulated the protein levels of phosphorylation(p)-AMPK, Nrf2, GCLC, GCLM, and NQO1 in the liver (P<0.05, P<0.01). Further, a large number of lipid droplet vacuoles and balloon-like lesions appeared in the hepatocytes, and the steatosis score and oil red O staining area increased in the model group (P<0.01). Compared with model group, Danshen Zexie decoction lowered the levels of TC, TG, ALT, and AST in the serum and TC, TG, FFA, MDA, and ROS in the liver (P<0.01), increased the levels of SOD and GSH and up-regulated the protein levels of p-AMPK, Nrf2, GCLC, GCLM, and NQO1 in the liver (P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, the decoction alleviated the degree of liver steatosis (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionDanshen Zexie decoction protects against MAFLD by activating AMPK/Nrf2 signaling pathway and suppressing oxidative stress.
