Objective:To explore the hemostatic mechanism of Jianpi Yiqi Shexue decoction(JYSD)by regulating vascular factors in an immune thrombocytopenia(ITP)mouse model.Methods:An ITP mouse model was established by the passive-immune modeling method,and inter-ventional drugs used were prednisone tablets and JYSD.The platelet count;vascular activity-related factors vWF,VCAM-1,and TM;and VEGF and bFGF were used as observational indicators.Results:On the 8th day of administration,compared with the model group,platelet counts in the prednisone and JYSD groups increased(both P＜.001).Compared with the control group,the levels of vWF,VCAM-1,and TM in the other groups were lower(all P＜.05).The VCAM-1 level in the JYSD group was higher than that in the prednisone group(P=.012),but without significant difference compared with the model group(P=.051).The TM level in the JYSD group was the lowest(vs.the model group,P=.047;vs.the prednisone group,P=.006).Compared with the control group,the IOD values of VEGF and bFGF in the other three groups were lower(all P＜.01).The IOD values of VEGF in the prednisone and JYSD groups were both higher than those in the model group(P=.002 and P＜.001,respectively).The IOD values of bFGF among the model,prednisone,and JYSD groups were not statistically significant(P＞.05).Conclusion:A vascular factor disorder is involved in the pathogenesis of ITP.JYSD can increase the platelet count,upregulate VEGF expression,and reduce the TM level.JYSD has the same effect as prednisone tablets in regulating platelet,vWF,VEGF,and bFGF,with a stronger effect in normalizing VCAM-1 and TM levels.The hemostatic mechanism of JYSD is closely related to the effective balance of vascular factors.

Cancer therapy-related thrombopenia,which is called"medicinal poison purpura"in tradi-tional Chinese medicine,is a common hematologic adverse reaction during oncology treatment that is dif-ficult to treat due to the differences in oncology treatments and the complexity of the pathogenesis,resul-ting in various degrees of thrombocytopenia.Based on the theory that"spleen controlling blood",this pa-per believes that"medicinal poison purpura"is mainly caused by direct damage to the blood and qi by medicinal poison,leading to qi and blood deficiency;it also attacks the spleen and stomach,resulting in the deficiency of spleen qi and no source of qi and blood production.Due to the spleen deficiency,there is no essence to nourish kidney and bone marrow;their function of generating blood decreases,eventually it becomes"medicinal poison purpura".The theory of"regulating balance and flat regulation"is an im-portant academic idea of our team in the treatment of malignant hematological tumors.In this paper,we have systematically elaborated on the etiology,pathogenesis,and therapeutic principles of the treatment of cancer therapy-related thrombopenia with spleen deficiency pattern through the collation of relevant lit-erature.We believe that the prescription formulated according to the method of invigorating spleen and benefiting qi and controlling blood for the treatment of cancer therapy-associated thrombocytopenia with spleen deficiency pattern is in line with the principle of correspondence between prescription and syn-drome,and correspondence between drugs and syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine,which is theo-retically feasible and has a high clinical application value.

Objective To explore the proprioception characteristics of knee joints for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients before unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Twenty-nine single-compartment KOA patients were selected. Fifteen patients were treated with UKA (UKA group) and fourteen patients were treated with TKA (TKA group). The test was performed 1 to 3 days before the operation.The keen society scores (KSS) of KOA patients in UKA group and TKA group were compared, and their joint position sense and kinesthesia were compared with control group. Results Significant differences in KSS were found in TKA group and UKA group, and the knee joint position sense and kinesthesia showed no significant differences between TKA group and UKA group.There were no significant differences in the knee joint position sense and kinesthesia between the operated leg and unoperated leg in TKA group and UKA group, and between the left leg and right leg in control group. Compared with control group, there were significant differences between UKA group and TKA group in 60° position sense of the operated leg and unoperated leg.The kinesthesia of the operated leg and unoperated leg in UKA group and TKA group were also significantly different from that in control group. Conclusions Compared with control group, the proprioception of the knee joint in KOA patients was significantly reduced before the surgery, but the characteristics of proprioception in UKA group and TKA group were similar.

Objective: To observe the effect of miR-17-92 overexpression on the chemosensitivity of leukemia mice and the chemosensitivity of compound Zhebei granules. Methods: The miR-17-92 over-expressed cells and L1210 cells were conventionally infused into each DBA/2N mouse through the vena caudalis at the cellular concentration of 100×10⁴. The mice were divided into 5 groups with a randomized method, including miR-17-92 high expression L1210 cell leukemia mice (miR-17-92) observation group, miRNA-17-92 chemotherapy group, miRNA-17-92 chemotherapy combined with compound Zhebei granules group, L1210 chemotherapy group and normal control group. The chemotherapy groups were given cyclophosphamide by intraperitoneal injection, or chemotherapy combined with compound Zhebei granules group plus compound Zhebei. In the course of the experiment, the routine blood and white blood cell classification were checked every 7 days. The animals were killed on the 15th day or before dying. Peripheral blood routine and white blood cell classification were detected, the proportion of leukemia cells was checked by using bone marrow morphology. Furthermore, it was necessary to weigh the spleen and observe histopathological changes. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression was detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: The difference between hemoglobin and platelet count on the 15th day after administration was statistically significant in the miRNA-17-92 observation group, miRNA-17-92 chemotherapy group, miRNA-17-92 chemotherapy combined compound Zhebei group, L1210 chemotherapy group, and normal control group (F= 5.76, P= 0.002; F= 16.90, P= 0.002); Compared with the normal control group, peripheral blood leukocyte count in the miRNA-17-92 observation group was decreased (P < 0.05). The proportion of peripheral blood leukemic cells was (37.2±13.1)%, (5.7±1.9)%, (1.3±0.8)%, (0.8±0.3)%, 0, and the proportion of myeloid leukemia cells was (26.9±11.0)%, (6.8±2.0)%, (3.2±1.0)%, (1.7±1.2)%, 0, and the difference was statistically significant (F= 24.38, P= 0.000 0; F= 19.71, P= 0.000 0). The spleen weights were (0.70±0.18), (0.20±0.07), (0.44±0.17), (0.23±0.19), (0.60±0.18) g respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (F= 8.78, P= 0.032). Chemotherapy could reduce leukemia spleen infiltration. P-gp was (33±11), (27±11), (32±11), (20±11), (17±3) ng/ml, and the difference was statistically significant (F= 10.42, P= 0.034). Compound Zhebei granules did not significantly reduce P-gp expression. Conclusions The overexpression of miRNA-17-92 leads to the decrease of chemotherapy response rate. Compound Zhebei granules combined with chemotherapy could improve the response rate of miR-17-92 high expression L1210 mice.

With the development of technology and instruments, more and more giant liver tumors have been resected under laparoscopy. Compared with traditional approach hepatectomy, anterior hepatectomy is more suitable for laparoscopic resection of huge liver tumors, and it is also more in line with the " tumor-free principle" when it is used in the resection of liver malignant tumors. Our team summarized the experiences and lessons of laparoscopic hepatectomy and communicated with domestic and foreign experts to form a set of single center standardized process of laparoscopic anterior right hepatectomy, which is summarized as follows.

Objective: To explore the impacts of the imaging positions on the sagittal tilt of the pelvis and the imaging parameters of the hip joint. Methods: From December 2015 to October 2016, a total of 78 female DDH patients (DDH group) who received Bernese periarticular osteotomy were enrolled, aged 28.41±9.91 years (range 18-49 years) with 135 hips. There were 21 cases on one side and 57 cases on both sides. Another 26 female volunteers without spinal and hip disease were enrolled as the control group, aged 23.54±5.58 years (range 18-49 years) with 52 hips. X-ray films of the anterior and posterior pelvis were performed in both groups. The pelvic sagittal tilt was evaluated by measurement (pubic symphysis to sacrococcygeal distance, PSSC), with lateral center-edge angle of Wiberg (LCEA), Tönnis angle (TA), and Sharp angle (angle of Sharp, SA) assessed the degree of hip dysplasia and assessed the horizontal positional relationship between the femoral head and the acetabulum using tear drop distance (TD). All data were measured twice by two measurers independently. The correlation between hip parameters and X-ray position was analyzed. Results: The average PSSC in the supine and standing positions of the control group were 53.73±16.22 mm and 36.45±14.21 mm, respectively with significant difference-17.28±8.07 mm (t=-10.913, P=0.000). The PSSC of the supine and standing positions of the DDH group were 56.76±13.54 mm and 48.62±15.44 mm, respectively with significant difference-8.13±13.02 mm (t=-5.516, P=0.000). The PSSC of the standing DDH group was larger than that in the control group. There was no significant difference in the PSSC between the two groups in the supine position. Furthermore, there were no significant difference in the supine and standing PSSC between the unilateral and bilateral DDH patients (P>0.05). In the control group, the hip in supine and standing position, LCEA averaged 30.33°±4.69° and 29.70°±3.83° (P>0.05), and TA averaged 4.05°±3.51° and 4.36°±3.07° (P>0.05), respectively. SA averaged 40.53°±4.34° and 41.79°±3.16° (P>0.05), and TD averaged 6.80±0.98 mm and 6.65±1.30 mm (P>0.05), respectively. In the DDH group, the hip in supine and standing positions, LCEA averaged 3.07°±12.07° and 1.69°±12.11° (P<0.05), and TA averaged 22.62°±9.31° and 23.82°±9.45° (P>0.05), respectively. SA averaged 48.01°±4.68° and 48.49°±4.74° (P>0.05), respectively, and TD averaged 10.51±3.51 mm and 10.93±4.23 mm (P>0.05), respectively. Conclusion From supine to standing, the pelvis backward is the main trend in sagittal plane. In standing, the pelvis of female DDH patients is forward contrast with normal women. There was no difference in pelvic tilt between unilateral and bilateral DDH patients. Female DDH patients from the supine to standing, hip coverage decreased, while the femoral head appeared horizontally outward. The hip joint of DDH patients is unstable.

Marine fungi are important members of the marine microbiome, which have been paid growing attention by scientists in recent years. The secondary metabolites of marine fungi have been reported to contain rich and diverse compounds with novel structures (Chen et al., 2019). Aspergillus terreus, the higher level marine fungus of the Aspergillus genus (family of Trichocomaceae, order of Eurotiales, class of Eurotiomycetes, phylum of Ascomycota), is widely distributed in both sea and land. In our previous study, the coral-derived A. terreus strain C23-3 exhibited potential in producing other biologically active (with antioxidant, acetylcholinesterase inhibition, and anti-inflammatory activity) compounds like arylbutyrolactones, territrems, and isoflavones, and high sensitivity to the chemical regulation of secondary metabolism (Yang et al., 2019, 2020; Nie et al., 2020; Ma et al., 2021). Moreover, we have isolated two different benzaldehydes, including a benzaldehyde with a novel structure, from A. terreus C23-3 which was derived from Pectinia paeonia of Xuwen, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, China.
