Aim To investigate the effects of rosavin on hepatocellular steatosis and its mechanism of action.Methods AML-12 and HepG2 cells were induced to undergo hepatocellular steatosis by free fatty acids(FFA),and the optimal inducing concentration was determined by oil red O staining and CCK-8 assay.The cell activity was detected by CCK-8 assay after ro-savin treatment,and the lipid droplet accumulation was observed by oil red O staining.The levels of triglycer-ide(TG),total cholesterol(TC),glutamic oxalacetic transaminase(AST),glutamic pyruvic transaminase(ALT),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione per-oxidase(GSH-Px),and malondialdehyde(MDA)were detected by kits.The potential targets of rosavin in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)were ana-lyzedby network pharmacology and molecular docking,and the expression of core candidate targets before and after the rosavin intervention was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results Hepatocyte steatosis was induced by FFA,and the intervention of rosavin(25,50 μmol·L-1)reduced the number of intracellular lipid droplets in hepatocytes in a dose-de-pendent manner,also lowered the cellular levels of TG,TC,AST,ALT,elevated the levels of SOD and GSH-Px,and reduced the levels of MDA.Network pharma-cological analysis and molecular docking yielded five core candidate targets:NOS3,MAPK14,PPARG,TNF-α,and IGF-1,and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR showed that the action of loxavir significantly re-duced the gene expression of TNF-α and PPARG in hepatocytes after FFA induction.Conclusions Rosa-vin can attenuate the inflammatory response,oxidative stress level,and lipid accumulation in hepatocytes by modulating TNF-α and PPARG,thereby ameliorating FFA-induced hepatocellular steatosis.

Intricate and complex interactions between tumor cells and tumor microenvironment(TME)are essential driving factors in tumor development and metastasis.In recent years,modulation of TME to reverse tumor progression has garnered significant attention as a therapeutic strategy.For precise and targeted tumor treatment,there is an urgent need for accurate and effective TME tar-get molecules and relevant prediction model.Fibronectin,a protein with multiple domains in extracellular matrix(ECM),plays a cru-cial role in physiological and pathological processes.Particularly,Fibronectin extra domain B(FN-EDB)in fibronectin is pivotal in regulating interaction between ECM and cells.During active tissue remodeling processes,especially in angiogenesis,FN-EDB expres-sion tends to increase.Studies have indicated that FN-EDB is involved in regulating various key aspects of tumorigenesis,including promoting tumor cell invasion and metastasis,influencing development of immune evasion mechanisms,enhancing tumor angiogene-sis,and contributing to development of chemoresistance.Therefore,targeting FN-EDB as a potential therapeutic target for cancer treat-ment and developing relevant therapeutic drugs hold significant importance and promising clinical prospects.This article reviews roles of FN-EDB in TME in recent years and research progress on tumor immunotherapy targeting this molecule,with aim of providing new insights and strategies for cancer treatment.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy combined with hand-sewn esophagojejunos-tomy for gastric cancer.Methods Ninety cases of gastric cancer patients were seleted,of which 45 cases undergoing Roux-en-Y esophagoje-junostomy for digestive tract reconstruction were set as the control group,while 45 cases undergoing hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy for digestive tract reconstruction were set as the observation group.Patients in the control group underwent laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy combined with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy to reconstruct digestive tract,while patients in the observation group underwent totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy combined with hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy to reconstruct digestive tract.The perioperative indicators and complications of patients in the two groups were compared.Results The surgical time,time of esophagojejunostomy,and time to get out of bed after surgery of patients in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group(P<0.05),the pain score 24 hours after surgery was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of the incidence of complications or Clavien-Dindo grading(P>0.05).Conclusion Hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy for digestive tract reconstruction has a good clinical effect in gastric cancer during totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy.It can shorten the surgical time and time of esophagojejunostomy,reduce postoperative pain,and accelerate postoperative recovery,whose safety is comparable to Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy.

Jiuwei Xifeng Granules have become a Chinese patent medicine in the market. Because the formula contains Os Draconis, a top-level protected fossil of ancient organisms, the formula was to be improved by replacing Os Draconis with Ostreae Concha. To evaluate whether the improved formula has the same effectiveness and safety as the original formula, a randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled, equivalence clinical trial was conducted. This study enrolled 288 tic disorder(TD) of children and assigned them into two groups in 1∶1. The treatment group and control group took the modified formula and original formula, respectively. The treatment lasted for 6 weeks, and follow-up visits were conducted at weeks 2, 4, and 6. The primary efficacy endpoint was the difference in Yale global tic severity scale(YGTSS)-total tic severity(TTS) score from baseline after 6 weeks of treatment. The results showed that after 6 weeks of treatment, the declines in YGTSS-TSS score showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The difference in YGTSS-TSS score(treatment group-control group) and the 95%CI of the full analysis set(FAS) were-0.17[-1.42, 1.08] and those of per-protocol set(PPS) were 0.29[-0.97, 1.56], which were within the equivalence boundary [-3, 3]. The equivalence test was therefore concluded. The two groups showed no significant differences in the secondary efficacy endpoints of effective rate for TD, total score and factor scores of YGTSS, clinical global impressions-severity(CGI-S) score, traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) response rate, or symptom disappearance rate, and thus a complete evidence chain with the primary outcome was formed. A total of 6 adverse reactions were reported, including 4(2.82%) cases in the treatment group and 2(1.41%) cases in the control group, which showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups. No serious suspected unexpected adverse reactions were reported, and no laboratory test results indicated serious clinically significant abnormalities. The results support the replacement of Os Draconis by Ostreae Concha in the original formula, and the efficacy and safety of the modified formula are consistent with those of the original formula.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) among acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in 16 provinces of China from 2009 to 2023.Methods:The data of this study were collected from the ARI surveillance data from 16 provinces in China from 2009 to 2023, with a total of 28 278 ARI cases included in the study. The clinical specimens from ARI cases were screened for HRSV nucleic acid from 2009 to 2023, and differences in virus detection rates among cases of different age groups, regions, and months were analyzed.Results:A total of 28 278 ARI cases were enrolled from January 2009 to September 2023. The age of the cases ranged from<1 month to 112 years, and the age M ( Q1, Q3) was 3 years (1 year, 9 years). Among them, 3 062 cases were positive for HRSV nucleic acid, with a total detection rate of 10.83%. From 2009 to 2019, the detection rate of HRSV was 9.33%, and the virus was mainly prevalent in winter and spring. During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the detection rate of HRSV fluctuated between 6.32% and 18.67%. There was no traditional winter epidemic peak of HRSV from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023, and an anti-seasonal epidemic of HRSV occurred from April to May 2023. About 87.95% (2 693/3 062) of positive cases were children under 5 years old, and the difference in the detection rate of HRSV among different age groups was statistically significant ( P<0.001), showing a decreasing trend of HRSV detection rate with the increase of age ( P<0.001). Among them, the HRSV detection rate (25.69%) was highest in children under 6 months. Compared with 2009-2019, the ranking of HRSV detection rates in different age groups changed from high to low between 2020 and 2023, with the age M (Q1, Q3) of HRSV positive cases increasing from 1 year (6 months, 3 years) to 2 years (11 months, 3 years). Conclusion:Through 15 years of continuous HRSV surveillance analysis, children under 5 years old, especially infants under 6 months old, are the main high-risk population for HRSV infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence and patterns of HRSV in China have changed.
