ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Yishen Juanbi pills （YSJB）-containing bone marrow fluid on the migration and differentiation phenotypes of CD4⁺T lymphocytes based on the stromal cell-derived factor-1/chemokine receptor 4 （SDF-1/CXCR4） signaling pathway. MethodsPrimary CD4⁺T lymphocytes were isolated from mice using magnetic bead separation and identified for purity by flow cytometry. A CD4⁺T lymphocyte culture system was then established to observe the effects of SDF-1 on CD4⁺T-cell migration and differentiation. On this basis， the experimental groups included the Sham group， the ovariectomy （OVX） group， the Sham+collagen-induced arthritis （CIA） group， the OVX+CIA group， the Sham+CIA+YSJB group （2.16 g·kg^-1）， the OVX+CIA+YSJB group （2.16 g·kg^-1）， and the OVX+CIA+methotrexate （MTX） group （1.5 mg·kg^-1）. Bone marrow fluid from each group was prepared according to previous methods and added to the CD4⁺ T-cell culture system at 5% （v/v）. Transwell assays were used to examine CD4⁺T-cell migration in each group. Real-time PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression levels of interleukin （IL）-17， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， retinoic-acid-related orphan receptor γt （RORγt）， IL-10， transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）， forkhead box P3 （FoxP3）， CXCR4， phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K）， and protein kinase B （Akt）. Western blot was used to detect the expression of helper T （Th）17/regulatory T （Treg） cell signature factors （RORγt， FoxP3）， CXCR4， PI3K， phosphorylated （p）-PI3K， Akt， and p-Akt. In a separate set of experiments， cells were divided into the Sham group， OVX+CIA group， OVX+CIA+CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 group， and OVX+CIA+YSJB+AMD3100 group to observe changes in the above indicators following AMD3100 intervention. ResultsCompared with the Sham group， the number of migrated cells in the lower chamber was significantly increased in the Sham+CIA and OVX+CIA groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The mRNA expression of RORγt， IL-17， TNF-α， CXCR4， PI3K， and Akt was significantly upregulated， whereas FoxP3， IL-10， and TGF-β mRNA expression was significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Protein expression of RORγt， CXCR4， p-PI3K/PI3K， and p-Akt/Akt was significantly increased， while FoxP3 protein expression was markedly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the OVX+CIA group， the OVX+CIA+YSJB group and OVX+CIA+MTX group showed significantly reduced migration （P<0.05）， mRNA expression of RORγt， IL-17， TNF-α， CXCR4， PI3K， and Akt was also significantly decreased， while FoxP3， IL-10， and TGF-β mRNA expression was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. RORγt protein expression was significantly downregulated， and FoxP3 protein expression markedly upregulated （P<0.05）. In the OVX+CIA+YSJB group， CXCR4， p-PI3K/PI3K， and p-Akt/Akt protein expression was significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Compared with the OVX+CIA group， RORγt， CXCR4， PI3K， and Akt mRNA expression in CD4⁺T cells was significantly decreased in the OVX+CIA+AMD3100 group and the OVX+CIA+YSJB+AMD3100 group， while FoxP3 mRNA and protein expression was significantly upregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. RORγt， CXCR4， p-PI3K/PI3K， and p-Akt/Akt protein expression was also markedly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the OVX+CIA+AMD3100 group， the OVX+CIA+YSJB+AMD3100 group showed significantly decreased RORγt and Akt mRNA expression （P<0.05） and significantly lower p-Akt/Akt protein expression （P<0.05）. ConclusionYSJB-containing bone marrow fluid suppresses CD4⁺T-cell migration and regulates Th17/Treg balance by downregulating Th17-associated signature factors and upregulating Treg-associated signature factors through inhibition of the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. The SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway is one of the targets through which YSJB inhibits CD4⁺T-cell differentiation.

The interest in covalent drugs has resurged in recent decades, spurring the development of numerous specialized computational docking tools to facilitate covalent ligand design and screening. Herein, we present CarsiDock-Cov, a new paradigm distinguishing itself as the first deep learning (DL)-guided approach for covalent docking. CarsiDock-Cov retains the core components of its non-covalent predecessor, leveraging a DL model pretrained on millions of docking complexes to predict protein-ligand distance matrices, along with a dedicated-designed geometric optimization procedure to convert these distances into refined binding poses. Additionally, it incorporates several key enhancements specifically tailored to optimize the protocol for covalent docking applications. Our approach has been extensively validated on multiple public datasets regarding the docking and screening of covalent ligands, and the results indicate that our approach not only achieves comparably improved applicability compared to its non-covalent predecessor, but also exhibits competitive performance against various state-of-the-art covalent docking tools. Collectively, our approach represents a significant advance in covalent docking methodology, offering an automated and efficient solution that shows considerable promise for accelerating covalent drug discovery and design.

Objective:To establish ferroptosis-related risk characteristics, to evaluate the prognostic correlation of ferroptosis-related genes in hepatocellular carcinoma, and to explore the complex relationship between hepatocellular carcinoma, ferroptosis and immune microenvironment.Methods:The bioinformatics analysis involved obtaining ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from the GeneCards database and the cancer genome atlas database. The biological functions of ferroptosis-related DEGs were analyzed using gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway enrichment. Ferroptosis-related DEGs clusters were identified using univariate Cox regression analysis and cluster analysis, etc. The correlation between ferroptosis-related DEGs clusters and tumor immune microenvironment and tumor occurrence score was evaluated using immunopanoramic analysis and tumor-related score analysis. Based on ferroptosis-related characteristics, a ferroptosis-related characteristic spectrum and nomogram were constructed using multivariate Cox regression and correlation analysis, etc. The correlation between the risk characteristics and tumor immune microenvironment, tumor occurrence score and gene mutation were evaluated using immune panoramic analysis, tumor-related score analysis and gene mutation analysis. In the experimental verification stage, the mRNA expression levels of aurora kinase A ( Aurka), acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha ( Acaca) and arrestin domain containing 3 ( Arrdc3) in mouse primary hepatocytes and mouse hepatoma Hepa1-6 cells were verified by real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-qPCR). The mRNA expression levels of AURKA, ACACA and ARRDC3 in adjacent normal tissues and tumor tissues of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were verified by RT-qPCR. A heat map was used to show the correlation between clustering and clinical parameters, and this was analyzed using a chi-square test. Significance analysis was performed using a two-sided unpaired t test. Results:A total of 35 up-regulated genes and 19 down-regulated genes were identified. These genes were mainly involved in biological processes and signaling pathways related to ferroptosis, oxidative stress and fatty acid metabolism. A total of 14 ferroptosis-related DEGs were identified to be associated with prognosis. The clusterring effect was best when hepatocellular carcinoma patients were divided into two subgroups. The survival rate of cluster 2 was lower than that of cluster 1 ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE) score between cluster 2 and cluster 1 ( P=0.43). Cluster 1 exhibited higher levels of immune cell infiltration, particularly CD4 + T cells ( P<0.01). The expression levels of 10 major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule-related genes were higher in cluster 1. The angiogenesis activity score ( P=0.048) and stemness score ( P=0.038) of cluster 2 were increased, and the expression levels of programmed death-1 ( PDCD1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 ( CTLA-4) in cluster 2 (5.924±0.013 and 5.475±0.042) were higher than those in cluster 1 (4.539±0.143 and 4.372±0.176) (both P<0.05). The expression levels of AURKA, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenease ( G6PD), ACACA, GABA type A receptor associated protein like 1 ( GABARAPL1) and ARRDC3 were correlated with the T stage, clinical stage and survival status of hepatocellular carcinoma. The survival rate of the high-risk group was lower than that of the low-risk group with time ( P<0.01). The area under the curve of the risk characteristics at 1, 3 and 5 years was 0.797, 0.717 and 0.639, respectively. The actual survival time 1, 3, and 5 years was highly consistent with the corresponding predicted survival time. The levels of memory B cell infiltration, angiogenesis activity score and cell stemness score, programmed death-ligand 1, CTLA-4, hepatitis A virus cell receptor 2, lymphocyte activation gene 3 and PDCD1 gene expression (0.013 8±0.036 0, 0.884±0.212, 0.387±0.135, 6.273±0.228, 5.847±0.331, 8.179±0.259, 6.859±0.263 and 5.142±0.326) in the high-risk group were higher than those in the low-risk group (0.001 5±0.021 0, 0.874±0.132, 0.298±0.125, 5.866±0.132, 3.742±0.237, 7.236±0.321, 6.324±0.242 and 4.513±0.211) ( P<0.05, 0.01). The expression levels of MHC molecule-related genes in the high-risk group were also higher than those in the low-risk group ( P<0.05, 0.01), while the infiltration levels of resting mast cells, activated natural killer cells, and resting natural killer cells (0.043 2±0.135 0, 0.032 1±0.143 0 and 0.016 3±0.001 9) and the TIDE score (0.072 0±0.018 0) in the high-risk group were lower than those in the low-risk group (0.054 9±0.023 0, 0.042 7±0.017 0, 0.024 6±0.021 2 and 0.094 0±0.013 5) ( P<0.05, 0.01). The top five genes with the highest mutation frequency in the high-risk group were tumor protein P53 ( TP53, 43%), titin ( TTN, 21%), catenin beta 1 ( CTNNB1, 20%), mucin 16 ( MUC16, 18%) and piccolo presynaptic cytomatrix protein ( PCLO, 11%). The top five genes with the highest mutation frequency in the low-risk group were CTNNB1 (30%), TTN (24%), albumin ( ALB, 16%), MUC16 (15%) and PCLO (11%). The cube protein and PCLO showed the co-occurrence of gene mutations in the high-risk group, while MUC16 and axis 1 protein showed the co-occurrence of gene mutations in the low-risk group. There was no significant difference in tumor mutation burden (TMB) between the high-risk group (1.374±0.026) and the low-risk group (1.303±0.081) ( P=0.073). There was no significant difference in survival time between the high-TMB group (2.3 years) and the low-TMB group (3.8 years) ( P=0.293). The mutation rates of AURKA, G6PD, ACACA, GABARAPL1 and ARRDC3 genes (2.0%, 2.0%, 4.0%, 0.3% and 0.6%) were relatively low. The relative expression levels of Aurka, Acaca and Arrdc3 mRNA in Hepa1-6 cells (13.331±0.000, 6.619±0.000 and 1.209±0.002) were higher than those in mouse primary hepatocytes (1.000±0.000, 1.000±0.000 and 1.000±0.000) (all P<0.01). The relative expression levels of AURKA, ACACA and ARRDC3 mRNA in tumor tissues of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (2.102±0.365, 2.476±0.351 and 11.460±9.189) were higher than those in adjacent normal tissues of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (1.122±0.648, 0.831±0.935 and 0.852±0.171) ( P<0.05, 0.01). Conclusions:This study constructed a prognostic signature comprising five ferroptosis-related genes ( AURKA, G6PD, ACACA, GABARAPL1, and ARRDC3) that is highly correlated with clinical hepatocellular carcinoma data. This study highlights the significance of ferroptosis-related genes as prognostic markers for hepatocellular carcinoma and provides insights into the complex relationship between hepatocellular carcinoma, ferroptosis, and the immune microenvironment.

Objective To discuss the effect of interleukin-17A(IL-17A)and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)on the benign tracheal stenosis after tracheal injury in experimental dogs.Methods The trachea stenosis model of healthy Beagle dogs was established by burning the middle part of trachea with electric snare under bronchoscopy guidance.A total of 21 dogs were divided into normal group(n=3,receiving normal feeding),molding group(n=12,after airway modeling every 3 dogs were sacrificed each week for 4 weeks),IL-17A suppression group(n=3,receiving Secukinumab after airway modeling),and IL-17A inhibitor+TGF-β1 inhibitor group(n=3,receiving Secukinumab and SB43154 after airway modeling).Bronchoscopy and CT scan were performed once a week,and the stenosis degree was calculated.RT-qPCR,immunohistochemistry,and HE staining of the obtained tracheal tissues were performed.Results Within 1-4 weeks after molding,in module-making dogs the degree of stenosis of the injured trachea gradually increased,and the expressions of ECM-related proteins,TGF-β1 and IL-17A were up-regulated.After treatment with IL-17A inhibitors,the inflammatory infiltration and granulation tissue hyperplasia were reduced and the early tracheal stenosis was improved(P＜0.05).The combination use of IL-17A inhibitor and TGF-β1 inhibitor had a better remission effect(P＜0.05).Conclusion IL-17A and TGF-β1 may synergistically affect the formation of tracheal stenosis.

Objective To explore the application effect of blood pressure management based on the health belief model in patients with moyamoya disease after cerebral vascular reconstruction sur-gery.Methods From February to July 2024,210 patients with moyamoya disease who underwent cerebral vascular reconstruction surgery in our hospital were selected as study subjects.They were randomly divided into control group and intervention group,with 105 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing care,while the intervention group applied blood pressure management based on the health belief model on the basis of routine nursing care.The postoperative cerebral hy-perperfusion syndrome and blood pressure control status of the two groups were compared,and the Health Belief Scale and the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale were used to evaluate the effects before and after intervention.Results A total of 203 patients completed the study,including 100 cases in the control group and 103 cases in the intervention group.There were statistically significant differ-ences in the incidence of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome and the proportion of patients with blood pressure higher than baseline data between the two groups(P＜0.05).After the intervention,there were statistically significant differences in the postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome status and blood pressure control status between the two groups(P＜0.05).After intervention,there were statistically significant differences in the scores of susceptibility and health motivation dimensions as well as the total score in the Health Belief Scale between the intervention group and the control group(P＜0.05).After the intervention,there were statistically significant differences in the scores of ambiguity and unpredictability dimensions as well as the total score in the Mishel Uncertainty in Ill-ness Scale between the intervention group and the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Blood pressure management based on the health belief model can effectively control blood pressure,reduce the incidence of cerebral hyperperfusion,improve health beliefs,and reduce the sense of uncertainty about the disease.

Objective To analyze the impact of medical guidance games combined with special-ized nursing on treatment compliance and clinical symptoms in preschool children with pneumonia.Methods A total of 113 preschool children with pneumonia admitted to Beijing Daxing District Peo-ple's Hospital from February 2023 to June 2024 were selected as research subjects and randomly di-vided into control group(n=56)and observation group(n=57).The control group received routine nursing,while the observation group received medical guidance games combined with specialized nursing on the basis of the control group.Treatment compliance,improvement time of clinical symp-toms,and psychological states were compared between the two groups.Results The total treatment compliance rate in the observation group was 98.2％,which was higher than 89.3％in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The disappearance times of symp-toms such as cough,expectoration,dyspnea,and fever in the observation group were all shorter than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After intervention,the scores of the Children's Medical Fear Scale(CMFS)and the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders(SCARED)in the ob-servation group were both lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Medical guidance games combined with specialized nursing can improve treatment compliance in preschool children with pneumonia,shorten their recovery time,help alleviate negative emotions such as medi-cal fear and anxiety,and promote disease recovery.

Objective To analyze the effects of the histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid(SAHA)on the secondary metabolites of the entomopathogenic fungus Samsoniella hepiali CDB9-31 using thin-layer chromatography(TLC)and high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).Methods The fermentation products of Samsoniella hepiali CDB9-31 treated with epigenetic modifiers were separated and purified using methods such as silica gel column chromatography,Sephadex column chromatography and reversed-phase column chromatography.The structures of the compounds were elucidated using modern spectroscopic analysis methods.The antimicrobial activity of the obtained monomeric compounds was determined using the filter paper disc diffusion method.Results The TLC and HPLC analyses of its fermentation extracts revealed that SAHA could induce the strain to produce more diverse array of secondary metabolites,and 11 monomeric compounds were isolated and identified as follows:N'-phenyloctanediamide(1),5-Phenylcarbamoyl-pentanoic(2),ergosterol(3),5,8-Epidioxy-5α,8α-ergosta-6,22E-diene-3β-ol(4),1-monolinolein(5),(4E,8E)-2-N-(2-Hydro-xypalmitoyl)-1-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-9-methyl-4,8-sphingadienine(6),Ergosterol peroxide 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(7),(22E,24R)-7,22-diene-3β,5α,6β-ergostatriol(8),(2S,2'R,3R,4E,8E)-N-2'-Hydroxyhexadecanoyl-2-amion-9-methyl-4,8-octadecadiene-1,3-diol(9),Adenosine(10),D-Glulopyranose(11).Compounds 1 and 2 were derivatives of SAHA,and it was speculated that the special metabolic environment of CDB9-31 caused the biotransformation of SAHA.Except for compound 3,all other compounds were isolated from this genus for the first time.The antibacterial activity results showed that six of these compounds exhibited varying degrees of inhibitory effects against at least one pathogenic bacterium.Conclusion This study has enriched the chemical diversity of secondary metabolites from the entomopathogenic fungus Samsoniella hepiali.

OBJECTIVE To know about the working mode and human resource status of pharmacy intravenous admixture services （PIVAS） in national medical institutions. METHODS Through questionnaire survey， the national PIVAS was invited to fill out questionnaire and statistical analysis was performed on the effective sample data related to PIVAS working mode and human resources in the questionnaire. RESULTS In this study， 761 PIVAS from 722 medical institutions of 29 provinces were involved in the questionnaire survey， with 471 valid questionnaires for working mode and 441 valid questionnaires for human resources survey. In terms of working mode， among 471 PIVAS， 292 PIVAS （62.0%） were in pharmacist-alone mode， and 176 PIVAS （37.4%） were in pharmacist-nurse cooperative mode； there was no significant difference in the types of medical orders received by PIVAS between these two working modes except for the other medical orders （P＞0.05）. In terms of human resource setting， among 441 PIVAS， the average number of total staff of single PIVAS was 24（16，33）， including 11（6，19） pharmacists， 7（2，13） nursing staff， and 3（1，5） workers； there was a statistically significant difference in the number of personnel among three groups （P＜ 0.01）. The per capita income of PIVAS respondents in 2019 was [7.9（4.8，10.7）]×104 yuan， and in 2021 it was [8.8（5.8，11.7）]× 104 yuan， with an increase of 9.0% compared to 2019. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant （P＜ 0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Medical institutions’ PIVAS in China had not fully implemented the pharmacist-alone work model， and some medical institutions had chosen a pharmacist-nurse cooperative mode. It is suggested that relevant departments formulate corresponding qualification requirements and training standards for nursing personnel as soon as possible based on sufficient research on PIVAS’s demand for nursing professionals.

OBJECTIVE To know about the pharmacy intravenous admixture charge and operation balance of pharmacy intravenous admixture services （PIVAS） in national medical institutions. METHODS Using questionnaire survey method， the national PIVAS leaders were invited to fill in the questionnaire， investigation and statistical analysis of the drug dispensing charge standard and the income and expenditure situations of PIVAS nationwide were conducted. RESULTS A total of 761 PIVAS completed the questionnaire， among which 466 PIVAS （61.2%） had already started implementing pharmacy intravenous admixture charge， mainly in tertiary hospitals. The charge standards for chemotherapy drugs and parenteral nutrition solutions were relatively high， while the standards for packaged drugs were the lowest， with differences in charge standards among provinces（P＜0.05）. Among the 25 provinces that reported annual drug preparation fee revenue， Hubei had the highest revenue in both 2019 and 2021. In 2019， the number of PIVAS with a balance of payments was more than that of PIVAS with an imbalance of payments， but the number of PIVAS with an imbalance of payments in 2021 exceeded the number of PIVAS with a balance of payments （P＜0.05）； among them， eight provinces were unbalanced in 2019 and 2021， such as Tianjin， Chongqing， Guizhou， etc. CONCLUSIONS PIVAS charge standards of the surveyed medical institutions in all provinces are not unified. It is suggested to improve the charge standard further， formulate the charge adjustment cycle， and promote a sustainable development of PIVAS.

The amount of data generated by the human experience in medical cases of classic formulas is large and the research value is high， but how to extract valuable information from these massive data is an important problem of researches on classical formulas. It is concluded that there are many problems in the current study of human experience in classical formulas， such as large amount of data， uneven quality， weak extrapolation and clinical application， which seriously affected the evidence strength of human experience in classical formulas and the contribution to experience accumulation and theoretical support. Therefore， from the structural perspective of the research questions， this paper proposed the research ideas of human experience in medical cases of classic formulas： firstly， according to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） cases， based on the PICO model， which refers parti-cipants （P）， intervention （I）， comparisons （C）， and outcomes （O）， a TCM medical record evaluation tool in line with the evidence-based concept was constructed to evaluate the quality of medical cases； secondly， constructing a standardized database of human experience in classical formulas and using data mining algorithms to explore the deep relationship hidden in human experience； finally， the clinical value evaluation is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the diagnosis and treatment rules of classical formulas to achieve clinical transformation.
