Radiation-induced thrombocytopenia (RIT) faces a perplexing challenge in the clinical treatment of cancer patients, and current therapeutic approaches are inadequate in the clinical settings. In this research, oxymatrine, a new molecule capable of healing RIT was screened out, and the underlying regulatory mechanism associated with magakaryocyte (MK) differentiation and thrombopoiesis was demonstrated. The capacity of oxymatrine to induce MK differentiation was verified in K-562 and Meg-01 cells in vitro. The ability to induce thrombopoiesis was subsequently demonstrated in Tg (cd41:enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP)) zebrafish and RIT model mice. In addition, we carried out network pharmacological prediction, drug affinity responsive target stability assay (DARTS) and cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) analyses to explore the potential targets of oxymatrine. Moreover, the pathway underlying the effects of oxymatrine was determined by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses, Western blot (WB), and immunofluorescence. Oxymatrine markedly promoted MK differentiation and maturation in vitro. Moreover, oxymatrine induced thrombopoiesis in Tg (cd41:eGFP) zebrafish and accelerated thrombopoiesis and platelet function recovery in RIT model mice. Mechanistically, oxymatrine directly binds to toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and further regulates the downstream pathway stimulator of interferon genes (STING)/nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB), which can be blocked by C29 and C-176, which are specific inhibitors of TLR2 and STING, respectively. Taken together, we demonstrated that oxymatrine, a novel TLR2 agonist, plays a critical role in accelerating MK differentiation and thrombopoiesis via the STING/NF-κB axis, suggesting that oxymatrine is a promising candidate for RIT therapy.

Objective:To study the allocation efficiency of private ophthalmology health resources in Shanxi,and to provide references for improving the allocation efficiency of health resources in Chinese private ophthalmology medical institutions.Methods:The resource allocation and services of 70 private ophthalmic medical institutions in Shanxi were collected through a questionnaire survey,and Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA)was used to evaluate the efficiency of health resource allocation in medical institutions of Shanxi.Results:The average values of technical efficiency,pure technical efficiency,and scale efficiency of health resource allocation in private ophthalmic medical institutions in Shanxi were 0.963,0.980,and 0.982,respectively.Among the 70 private ophthalmology institutions,7 institutions were DEA-strongly efficient in health resource allocation,26 institutions were DEA-weakly efficient,37 institutions were non-DEA efficient,15 institutions had constant return to scale,40 institutions had increasing return to scale,and 15 institutions had decreasing return to scale.The allocation of health resources in 7 cities,including Taiyuan,Datong,and Shuozhou,etc.were DEA-strongly efficient;Changzhi and Jincheng were DEA-weakly efficient,both with increasing return to scale;and Linfen was non-DEA efficient with increasing return to scale.Conclusion:The efficiency of health resource allocation in some municipalities of Shanxi needs to be improved;the level of inter-organization varied,and the problems of insufficient resources and wasted inputs coexisted.In the future,ophthalmic resources should be rationally allocated,and input and output indicators should be adjusted according to the actual situation.
