Objective To observe the effects of Weipixiao on the ultrastructure of gastric mucosa capillaries in rats with precancerous lesions of gastric cancer ( PLGC). Methods The rats were randomized into six groups, including normal group, model group, Vatacoenayme Tablets group ( 0.2 g·kg-1·d-1) , and high-, middle-, and low- dose Weipixiao groups ( 15, 7.5, and 3.75 g·kg-1·d-1 respectively) . The rats received spontaneous intake of N-methyl-N’-nitro-nitrosoguanidine ( MNNG, 200 μg/mL) solution combined with irregular diet and intragastric administration of purgative herbs Xiao Chengqi Decoction ( 2 mL, containing 1 g/mL crude drug) for 18 weeks to induce spleen-deficiency PLGC. The pathological changes in gastric mucosa and the ultrastructure of gastric mucosa capillaries were observed under the transmission electron microscope. Results The model has been established successfully. Transmission electron microscopy results in the model group showed as severely swollen endothelial cells of gastric mucosa capillaries, severely-narrowing or even blocked vascular lumens, rough and discontinuous basement membrane, and swollen, degenerated or even absent pericytes. And the ultrastructure of gastric mucosa capillaries in high-, middle-, and low- dose Weipixiao groups were improved to some degrees, the effect of low-dose Weipixiao group being the best. Conclusion The improvement of the mucosal microcirculation of spleen-deficiency PLGC rats may be one of the pathohistological mechanisms of Weipixiao for spleen-deficiency PLGC.

Objective To observe the effect of Weipixiao, a compound recipe which has the actions of strengthening spleen, resolving stasis and removing toxins, on the histopathological changes of gastric mucosal tissue in rats with gastric precancerous lesions ( GPL) . Methods SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, Vitacoenzyme group (0.2 g·kg-1·d-1), and high-, middle-, and low-dose Weipixiao groups ( in the dose of 15, 7.5, 3.75 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively) . Except for the normal control group, the rats in other groups received spontaneous intake of N-methyl-N’-nitro-nitrosoguanidine ( MNNG) solution combined with irregular diet and oral use of purgative herbs for 18 weeks to induce GPL. From the 9th week, the mediation groups were simultaneously given corresponding medicine for 10 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the histopathological changes of gastric mucosal tissue in all groups were observed. Results Pathological scores of intestinal metaplasia and epithelial dysplasia in rat gastric mucosa of the model group were significantly increased ( P<0.01 compared with those of the normal group) , but were decreased in three Weipixiao groups to various degrees, particularly in low-dose Weipixiao group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . Conclusion Weipixiao can block and reverse gastric intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia in GPL rats to certain degrees, and low-dose Weipixiao may have better long-term effect for the prevention and treatment of GPL.

Objective To understand the reliability of caloric test results through the analysis of the pod shape dia-gram types of caloric test and to provide a more accurate and reliable basis for vestibular system function evaluation.Meth-ods The results of caloric test in 528 patients from July 2021 to May 2022 in vertigo diagnosis and treatment center were analyzed.According to pod pattern and unilateral weakness(UW),the patients were divided into five groups:cold and warm test symmetrical group,left and right side asymmetry group,single value significant abnormal group,bilateral hypo-plasia group and pod morphology unable to be classified group.Unreliable data can be identified by comparing,explaining,and summarizing the results of UW of different groups,so as to reduce the interference of unreliable data to clinical diagno-sis and treatment.Results Cold and warm test symmetric group(n=439)included patients with symmetry of bilateral vestibular function(n=273)and decreased vestibular function of one side(n=166).Left and right symmetrical groups in-eluded pationts with bilateral symmetric vestibular function(n=11)and unilateral reduction(n=13).Single value signifi-cant abnormal group showed cases with unilateral vestibular function reduction(n=25)and bilateral symmetric vestibular function(n=11).Bilateral hypolasion group showed cases with bilateral symmetric vestibular function(n=25)and unilat-eral reduction(n=9).Pod morphology unclassified group(n=5)suggested varions interference factors.Conduson When the function of the peripheral vestibular is symmetrical and normal,we should be alert to the existence of temperature effect,and should consider the inspection of the perfusion apparatus and the calibration of the irrigation temperature.When the function of the peripheral vestibular shows unilateral weakness,repeating the irrigation is recommended when the single value of the caloric test significantly increases or decreases.If there is no change,repeating the irrigation at the same tem-perature in the other ear or even repeating the whole caloric test are recommended.The UW value could not truly reflect the state of peripheral vestibular function when the caoric test produces bilateral weakness.Therefore,water irrigation could be used to make a correct judgment based on the medical history and other auxiliary examinations.It is of great significance to judge the effectiveness of caloric test comprehensively by combining the morphology of pod diagram with UW value.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MethodsMedical records were collected from 850 HCC patients who were admitted to Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2014 to May 2022, and their clinical and prognostic features were analyzed. The chi-square test were used for comparison of categorical data between groups; the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival time and survival rate, and the log-rank test was used for comparison of survival time based on baseline features. ResultsAmong the 850 HCC patients, male patients accounted for 82.6%, and the median age at initial diagnosis was 58.0 (49.0, 66.0) years, with the highest proportion of patients aged 50 — 69 years (59.8%). The patients with HBV infection accounted for the highest proportion of 77.4%; at initial diagnosis, 49.2% of the patients had portal vein tumor thrombus, and 20.2% of the patients had extrahepatic metastasis, among which pulmonary metastasis accounted for the highest proportion of 44.2% (76/172). The patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage A (0), B, C, and D HCC accounted for 20.4%, 22.5%, 41.5%, and 15.6%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the distribution of BCLC stages between different groups based on sex (χ2=16.631, P=0.001), age (χ2=24.261, P=0.019), place of residence (χ2=39.776, P<0.001), presence or absence of viral hepatitis (χ2=8.338, P=0.040), and presence or absence of regular antiviral therapy before initial diagnosis (χ2=26.140, P<0.001). Follow-up was performed for 489 patients till death, with a median survival time of 19.99 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 14.86 — 25.12), and the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year cumulative survival rates were 60.7%, 39.9%, 29.4%, and 22.7%, respectively. There was a significant difference in survival time between different groups based on age (χ2=13.452, P=0.009), history of viral hepatitis (χ2=6.123, P=0.013), regular antiviral therapy before initial diagnosis (χ2=15.505, P<0.001), comorbidity with type 2 diabetes (χ2=9.820, P=0.002), the number of tumors (χ2=57.713, P<0.001), maximum tumor diameter (χ2=41.862, P<0.001), portal vein tumor thrombus (χ2=293.909, P<0.001), extrahepatic metastasis at initial diagnosis (χ2=118.329, P<0.001), BCLC stage (χ2=465.638, P<0.001), surgical resection (χ2=78.86, P<0.001), local treatment (χ2=36.216, P<0.001), immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment and/or anti-tumor angiogenesis therapy (χ2=7.182, P=0.007), traditional Chinese medicine decoction treatment (χ2=30.050, P<0.001), and comprehensive treatment regimens (χ2=13.221, P=0.004). Progression-free survival (PFS) was recorded for 259 patients (30.5%), with a median PFS of 10.98 months (95%CI: 8.54 — 13.42). ConclusionHCC patients exhibit epidemiological characteristics in terms of sex, age, place of residence, presence or absence of viral hepatitis, regular antiviral therapy before initial diagnosis, tumor characteristics, treatment modality, and prognosis, with a low early detection rate and a short overall survival time, and therefore, it is urgent to perform early screening, early diagnosis, and early treatment.

NDFIP1 has been previously reported as a tumor suppressor in multiple solid tumors, but the function of NDFIP1 in NSCLC and the underlying mechanism are still unknown. Besides, the WW domain containing proteins can be recognized by NDFIP1, resulted in the loading of the target proteins into exosomes. However, whether WW domain-containing transcription regulator 1 (WWTR1, also known as TAZ) can be packaged into exosomes by NDFIP1 and if so, whether the release of this oncogenic protein via exosomes has an effect on tumor development has not been investigated to any extent. Here, we first found that NDFIP1 was low expressed in NSCLC samples and cell lines, which is associated with shorter OS. Then, we confirmed the interaction between TAZ and NDFIP1, and the existence of TAZ in exosomes, which requires NDFIP1. Critically, knockout of NDFIP1 led to TAZ accumulation with no change in its mRNA level and degradation rate. And the cellular TAZ level could be altered by exosome secretion. Furthermore, NDFIP1 inhibited proliferation in vitro and in vivo, and silencing TAZ eliminated the increase of proliferation caused by NDFIP1 knockout. Moreover, TAZ was negatively correlated with NDFIP1 in subcutaneous xenograft model and clinical samples, and the serum exosomal TAZ level was lower in NSCLC patients. In summary, our data uncover a new tumor suppressor, NDFIP1 in NSCLC, and a new exosome-related regulatory mechanism of TAZ.
