Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a pathological process involving multiple injury factors and cell types, with different stages. Currently, protective drugs targeting a single condition are limited in efficacy, and interventions on immune cells will also be accompanied by a series of side effects. In the current bottleneck research stage, the multi-target and obvious clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine (CM) is expected to become a breakthrough point in the research and development of new drugs. In this review, we summarize the roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in various stages of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion and on various types of cells. Combined with the current research progress in reducing ROS/RNS with CM, new therapies and mechanisms for the treatment of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion are discussed.

ObjectiveTo analyze the expression of Lactate dehydrogenase A(LDHA) in both renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tissue and RCC cell lines, and to investigate the impact of LDHA expression on the progression of RCC. MethodsFrom June 2018 to June 2022, totally 52 cases of RCC tissue samples and 49 cases of para-cancerous tissue samples were collected through surgical procedures from our hospital. LDHA expression was detected using immunohistochemistry (IHC). The expression levels of LDHA in vitro were also detected in the normal human proximal tubule epithelial cell line HK-2 and renal cell carcinoma cell lines A498, Caki-2, ACHN, and 786-O by using qRT-PCR and Western blot. A recombinant plasmid carrying LDHA-shRNA was constructed and then transfected into 786-O cells to down-regulate the expression of LDHA. Tumor proliferative capacity was monitored using CCK-8 assay, clonal formation assay and EdU assessments. Additionally, cell glycolytic activity was assessed through glucose uptake assay, lactate secretion assay, and ECAR analysis. ResultsIHC analysis revealed significantly higher expression of LDHA in RCC tissue compared to adjacent tissues(P<0.05). Furthermore, RCC tissues with higher TNM stage exhibited greater expression of LDHA than those with lower TNM stage (P<0.05). The results of qRT-PCR and Western blot demonstrated that the expression of LDHA in each RCC cell line was significantly higher than that in HK-2(P<0.05). After blocking the expression of LDHA in 786-O, there was a significant down-regulation of cell proliferation and glycolysis capacity (P<0.05). ConclusionsThe expression of LDHA in RCC tissue and RCC cell lines is significantly overexpressed compared with normal one, particularly in those with higher TNM stage. Knockdown of the expression of LDHA significantly suppresses cell proliferation and aerobic glycolysis capacity in 786-O.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for chronic disease management in grass-root institution . METHODS System structure design and audit class setting of the regional pretrial center in Changning district of Shanghai were introduced. The number of prescriptions/medical orders from the start of application to February 28,2022 were counted. The prescriptions/medical orders intercepted by the system ,prescriptions/medical orders intervened by physicians ,chronic disease types and drug use of regional multiple chronic diseases were counted and analyzed. RESULTS Compared with the data when the center was on line in September 2021,total qualified rate of prescriptions/medical orders (97.67% vs. 86.42%)significantly increased ,the number of prescriptions/ medical orders intercepted by the system and intervened by physicians decreased by 55.39% and 72.67% in February 2022, respectively. The top five diseases were hypertension (26.52%),coronary heart disease (20.53%),sleep disorders (16.71%),diabetes(15.24%)and bone diseases (14.09%). Among them , there were many problematic prescriptions involving coronary heart disease ,sleep disorder and bone disease. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of chronic diseases among community residents remains high. In addition to common chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease ,hypertension and diabetes ,the incidence of sleep disorders and bone diseases is also increasing. With the help of the regional pretrial center ,the focus of chronic disease management can be adjusted timely ,drug supervision can be carried out in real time so as to improve the level of rational drug use in grass-root institution.

As one of the most advanced technologies, single-cell omics technology develops rapidly in recent years. Based on different technical strategies, it enables unbiased and high-throughput access to multiple omics information at single-cell resolution. So far, single-cell omics technology, by virtue of its great powder in resolving tissue heterogeneity, has become a revolutionary tool to deeply understand the functional structure of tissues, reveal complex disease processes, and elucidate drug mechanisms of action. In view of the technical challenges in deconstructing the complexity of Chinese medicine and clarifying the modern scientific connotation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) theory, single-cell omics technology has huge application potential in the discovery of pharmacodynamic substances, construction of action networks, and elucidation of integrated regulatory mechanisms, which brings new opportunities for modern research in TCM. The present study briefly introduced three representative single-cell omics technologies, i.e., single-cell transcriptome sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and single-cell multimodal omics, and their main application patterns. On this basis, an outlook was proposed on the strategies and applications for modern research in TCM using single-cell omics technology.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of surgeries via frontal keyhole approach assisted by neuro-endoscope and via temporal keyhole approach assisted by microscope in cerebral basal ganglia hemorrhage. Methods:One hundred and five patients with basal ganglia cerebral hemorrhage admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to January 2020 were chosen in our study; 51 patients underwent surgeries via frontal keyhole approach assisted by neuro-endoscope (neuro-endoscopy group) and 54 patients underwent surgeries via temporal keyhole approach assisted by microscope (microscopy group). The clinical data of these patients were retrospectively analyzed; and the differences of hematoma clearance rate, intraoperative blood loss, duration of surgery, length of hospital stays, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores one week after surgery, incidence of postoperative complications, and activity of daily living (ADL) scores 6 months after surgery were compared between the 2 groups. Results:There were no significant differences in hematoma clearance rate and length of hospital stays between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). As compared with the microscopy group, the neuro-endoscopy group had significantly lower intraoperative blood loss, significantly shorter duration of surgery, and statistically higher GCS scores one week after surgery ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in incidence of postoperative complications and ADL scores 6 months after surgery between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Both surgeries via frontal keyhole approach assisted by neuro-endoscope and via temporal keyhole approach assisted by microscope can effectively clear the intracranial hematoma in patients with cerebral hemorrhage in the basal ganglia and protect neurological function; however, surgeries via frontal keyhole approach assisted by neuro-endoscope has advantages of shorter duration of surgery and lower intraoperative blood loss, and earlier neurological function recovery.

In this study, the evidence mapping methodology was used to systematically retrieve and sort out the clinical research evidence of Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of tension-type headache(TTH), and to understand the distribution of evidence in this field and the basis and quality of evidence. Chinese and English articles on the 28 Chinese patent medicines for TTH, which were recorded in National Essential Medicines List(2018), Medicine Catalogue for National Basic Medical Insurance, Work Injury Insurance, and Maternity Insurance(2020), and Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020), were retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), Wanfang, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc(CBMdisc), PubMed, EMbase, and Cochrane Library from the establishment to June 2021, followed by descriptive analysis. Then, tables and bubble charts were plotted to analyze the distribution characteristics of evidence. A total of 129 eligible articles were yielded: 126 randomized/non-randomized controlled trials, and 3 systematic reviews. The functions, indications, and composition of the 28 medicines, as well as the proportion of related articles, publication trends, intervention measures, and outcome indicators were compared and analyzed. The results showed that the 28 Chinese patent medicines, composed of 128 Chinese medicinals, can be classified into six categories in terms of function: reinforcing healthy Qi, tranquilizing mind, dispelling stasis, regulating Qi, treating wind, and resuscitating. There are ongoing efforts to study the treatment of TTH with Chinese patent medicine in China, despite of little evidence. The clinical positioning of Chinese patent medicine for TTH is not clear, and clinical research fails to highlight the advantages of Chinese medicine. In addition, the outcome indicators have not been standardized and unified, and there is a lack of evidence on the long-term efficacy of Chinese patent medicine for TTH. This study is the first exploratory application of evidence maps to compare the characteristics and clinical research progress of 28 Chinese patent medicines for TTH, which can provide a reference for research on the optimization of Chinese medicine strategies for TTH.

Large general hospitals currently play an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and treatment for acute critical patients and difficult diseases because of the development of dual referral system and hierarchical diagnosis, as well as the formation of medical treatment alliance. Patients with oral cancers are often associated with systemic diseases, which increases the complexity of the condition. Thus, meeting the demand through the traditional single medical model is difficult. As such, a multidisciplinary team (MDT) model has been proposed and has achieved a good clinical effect. To standardize the application of this model, we organized an event in which relevant experts discussed and formulated a consensus to provide standardized suggestions on the MDT process and the diagnosis and treatment of common systemic diseases as reference for clinical practice.
