ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate the mechanism of Jinyang Dingtong plaster in improving the peripheral pain sensitization and synovial fibrosis in rats with knee osteoarthritis （KOA） by blocking the ion channels of transient receptor potentials （TRPs）. MethodsThe active components in the transdermal absorption solution of Jinyang Dingtong plaster were identified by using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-quadrupole ion trap tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS） technology. A KOA rat model was established through intra-articular injection of monoiodoacetic acid. The rats were randomly divided into blank control group， KOA group， compound Nanxing Zhitong plaster Group， and Jinyang Dingtong plaster group， with eight rats per group. Among them， the rats in the compound Nanxing Zhitong plaster group and the Jinyang Dingtong plaster group were intervened with external application treatment. After the intervention period， the cold and mechanical stimulus pain thresholds of rats in each group were detected， and the transverse diameter of the knee joint was measured. The levels of inflammatory factors in the serum such as interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， nerve growth factor （NGF）， and calcitonin gene-related peptide （CGRP） were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Protein expression levels of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 （TRPA1）， transient receptor potential melastatin 8 （TRPM8）， transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 （TRPV1）， transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 （TRPV4）， transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）， and vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） in synovial tissue were detected by Western blot. Histopathological changes in synovial tissue were observed by using hematoxylin and eosin （HE）， Masson， and Sirius red staining， while the expression of type Ⅰ collagen and alpha-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） was detected by multiplex immunofluorescence. ResultsA total of 35 active components in the transdermal absorption solution of Jinyang Dingtong plaster were identified by UPLC-MS/MS， including phenolic acids， flavonoids， quinones， alkaloids， terpenes， lignans， and coumarins. Among them， the constituents such as berberine， paeoniflorin， ferulic acid， and caffeic acid exhibit clear anti-inflammatory， analgesic， and anti-fibrotic pharmacological effects. Compared to the blank control group， rats in the KOA group showed a significant decrease in cold and mechanical stimuli pain thresholds （P<0.01）. After 14 and 28 days of Jinyang Dingtong plaster intervention， the pain threshold in this group was significantly increased compared to that in KOA group （P<0.01）， showing no significant difference from that in compound Nanxing Analgesic plaster group. Additionally， Jinyang Dingtong plaster reduced the levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， NGF， and CGRP in the serum of KOA rats （P<0.01）， lowered the expression of TRPA1， TRPM8， TRPV1， TRPV4， TGF-β， and VEGF proteins in synovial tissue （P<0.01）， improved synovial pathological damage in KOA rats， and significantly decreased fluorescence intensity of type Ⅰ collagen and α-SMA （P<0.01）. ConclusionJinyang Dingtong plaster can improve the peripheral pain sensitization and synovial fibrosis in KOA rats by downregulating the expression of ion channels of TRPs and related inflammatory and fibrotic factors.

Objective To explore the expression and diagnostic value of circulating microRNA(miR)-126-3p in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Multi-centred miR chips and sequencing data were col-lected to investigate the differential expression of circulating miR-126-3p in NSCLC.In order to evaluate the comprehensive expression level of circulating miR-126-3p in the cycle,the standardized mean difference(SMD)and summary receiver operating characteristic(sROC)curve were calculated,and the area under curve(AUC)of sROC curve was analyzed.Sensitivity,specificity,positive negative likelihood ratio were ex-plored,and the expression of circulating miR-126-3p was further comprehensively analyzed in combination with tissue.By using miRDB,starBase v2.0,and TargetScan 7.1,combined with up-regulated differentially expressed genes in NSCLC,potential target genes of circulating miR-126-3p were screened using complemen-tary sequence method.Results Based on six circulating miR datasets,the expression level of circulating miR-126-3p was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that circulating miR-126-3p had strong diagnostic efficacy(AUC＞0.5),and the comprehensive expression of circulating miR-126-3p was lower in 199 cases of NSCLC group than in the control group(SMD=-1.46).The sROC curve showed that circulating miR-126-3p distin-guished the NSCLC group from the control group with high accuracy(AUC=0.91),Egger's test showed no publication bias(P＞0.05),with sensitivity and specificity 0.80,and positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio were 5.37 and 0.18,respectively.In addition,a comprehensive analysis of the circulation and tissue of 1 320 NSCLC samples from 26 datasets showed that circulating miR-126-3p expression was lower in NSCLC group than in the control group(SMD=-2.07).The sROC curve showed that low-expression circu-lating miR-126-3p had high accuracy in distinguishing between the NSCLC group and the control group(AUC=0.97).In addition,potential target genes ADAM9 and SLC7A5 were screened for circulating miR-126-3p,and their expression in NSCLC group was higher than that in the control group.Conclusion Low ex-pression of circulating miR-126-3p in the circulation may be an important biomarker for high-precision screen-ing of NSCLC.

Objective:To explore the application value of whole-process ultrasound-guided percutaneous portal vein puncture islet transplantation.Methods:From October 2018 to May 2021, 16 diabetics underwent whole-process ultrasound-guided percutaneous portal vein puncture islet transplantation at First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.The whole process was guided by ultrasound for completing percutaneous portal vein puncture catheterization, islet infusion monitoring, bleeding prevention and ablation hemostasis after bleeding.Results:Ten patients [8 males and 2 females with a mean age of(45.9±21.1)years]underwent 16 islet transplants, including one islet(5 cases), two islets(4 cases)and three islets(1 case). A single puncture was successfully performed without damage to other extrahepatic organs, persistent portal hypertension, portal vein embolism or infection.Bleeding at liver puncture site occurred in 3 cases and ultrasound radiofrequency ablation was performed for immediate hemostasis.Among them, postoperative blood glucose stabilized at 4~12 mmol/l post-operation.And 5 cases(31.3%)achieved insulin independence for>2 months and 10 cases(62.5%)lowered insulin dosage by>50% as compared with preoperative level.The level of fasting C-peptide recovered or was higher than normal in 10 cases(62.5%)and became obviously elevated in the remainders.In 11 cases(68.8%)of them, liver transaminase was briefly and mildly elevated post-operation, and no other complications were observed.Conclusions:The whole-process ultrasound-guided percutaneous portal vein islet transplantation is both safe and feseasible.It avoids the injury of transplanted kidney caused by contrast agent and radiological radiation to operator and patient.It is a method of islet transplantation worth a wider popularization.
