ObjectiveTo explore the role of the histone deacetylase Sirtuin-1 （SIRT1）/p53 signaling pathway in promoting apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer cells （NSCLC） induced by the co-stimulatory molecule B7 homolog 3 （B7-H3）. MethodsThe GEPIA 2 platform was used for survival analysis of NSCLC patients based on B7⁃H3 gene expression levels. The Gene Enrichment Analysis （GSEA） method was used to analyze the enrichment characteristics of B7⁃H3 molecules in the gene set of cell apoptosis. In the non-small cell lung cancer A549 cell line， B7⁃H3 was knocked down， and the protein expression levels of SIRT1 and p53 were detected by Western blot. B7⁃H3 was overexpressed in A549 cells and the apoptosis rate was analyzed by flow cytometry after Annexin V/PI double staining. Overexpression of B7⁃H3 and knockdown of SIRT1 were performed in A549 cell line. The expression levels of p53 and apoptosis-related proteins B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 （Bcl-2） and Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax） were detected respectively by Western blot. Cell apoptosis rate was analyzed by flow cytometry after Annexin V/PI double staining. ResultsThe overall survival of the B7-H3 high-expression group was significantly lower than that of the low-expression group （P<0.01）. B7-H3 was significantly enriched in the cell apoptosis signaling pathway and the p53 signaling pathway （P<0.05）. Compared with the control group， the expression of SIRT1 was significantly downregulated， and p53 was significantly upregulated in the B7⁃H3 knockdown group （both P<0.001）. Overexpression of B7-H3 significantly up-regulated SIRT1 protein expression （P<0.05）， down-regulated p53 expression （P<0.01）， and markedly increased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio of apoptosis-related proteins （P<0.001）. The results of Annexin V/PI double staining showed that the apoptosis rate of A549 cells with overexpressed B7⁃H3 decreased （the apoptosis rate of the control group was 26.72%±4.13%， while that of the B7⁃H3 overexpression group was 13.87%±0.82%； P<0.01）. In B7-H3-overexpressing cell lines， SIRT1 knockdown significantly reversed apoptosis （P<0.05）， up-regulated p53 protein expression （P<0.001）， and markedly reduced the Bcl-2/Bax ratio （P<0.001）. ConclusionB7-H3 molecule inhibits the apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer cells via the SIRT1/p53 signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Qiwei dongqingye powder （QDP） on bronchial asthma in mice. METHODS The mice were divided into blank group （normal saline）， model group （normal saline）， dexamethasone group （2 mg/kg）， and QDP low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （200， 400， 800 mg/kg）， with 14 mice in each group. Except for the blank group， mice in all other groups were given ovalbumin via intraperitoneal injection followed by aerosol inhalation to induce a bronchial asthma model. During the modeling process， mice in each group were administered corresponding drug solutions or normal saline intragastrically/intraperitoneally. After the last medication， the number of cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF） of the mice was observed and counted； the pathological changes of the bronchus and lung tissue were observed； the levels of malondialdehyde （MDA）， nitric oxide （NO）， total superoxide dismutase （T-SOD）， and glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） in the lung tissue of the mice were determined， and the level of interleukin-17 （IL-17） in the BALF and serum was determined. Transcriptomics was employed to predict and validate the mechanism of action of QDP against bronchial asthma. RESULTS Compared with the model group， the total cell count， neutrophil count， lymphocyte count， and macrophage counts in the BALF of the QDP high-dose group were all significantly reduced （ P ＜0.05）； the levels of MDA and NO in the lung tissue， and the levels of IL-17 in the BALF and serum were all decreased significantly （ P ＜0.05）； the levels of T-SOD and GSH-Px were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）； the arrangement of lung tissue cells tended to normalize， with reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells and decreased exfoliation of bronchial simple columnar epithelial cells. The transcriptomic results revealed that the differentially expressed genes were B-cell receptor signaling pathway， nuclear factor κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway， ferroptosis signaling pathway， and others. Further validation revealed that， compared with the model group， the expression levels of NF-κB p65 and chemokine ligand 20， as well as the phosphorylation level of NF-κB inhibitor protein α， were significantly decreased in the lung tissues of the mice in all QDP groups （ P ＜0.05）. Conversely， the protein expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2） and heme oxygenase 1 （HO-1） were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS QDP can effectively alleviate bronchial asthma by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway， activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway， regulating oxidative stress， and reducing inflammatory responses.

Objective:To assess the humanistic caring ability of clinical interns, analyze its influencing factors, explore the correlation between humanistic caring ability and narrative ability, and provide a basis for formulating narrative medical education scheme for clinical interns.Methods:A total of 163 clinical interns from the Class of 2020 completing internships at a Grade A tertiary hospital in Zhuhai were enrolled as research subjects using convenience sampling. A questionnaire survey was conducted using a baseline demographic survey, a humanistic caring ability inventory, and a medical narrative ability scale. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were conducted to explore the influencing factors for humanistic caring ability and its correlation with narrative ability.Results:The overall score of humanistic caring ability was (187.52±20.30). There were significant differences between groups in self-evaluation of humanistic caring ability, degree of satisfaction with the major, and relationship with classmates ( P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between narrative ability and caring ability in both total score and individual dimensions ( r=0.600, P<0.01). After adjusting for demographic differences, relationship with classmates ( β=0.138, P=0.042), attentive listening ( β=0.354, P<0.01), and reflective representation ( β=0.259, P=0.008) exhibited a significant positive impact on humanistic caring ability. However, this impact was not observed for the understanding-response dimension. Conclusions:The humanistic caring ability of clinical interns is low and their medical narrative ability is positively correlated with their humanistic caring ability. Therefore, narrative medical education should focus on training medical students' attentive listening and reflective representation to enhance humanistic literacy and promote their career development.

Coronavirus,a major pathogen infecting humans,mammals,and birds,causes primarily respiratory diseases af-ter infecting humans.Seven coronaviruses have been found to infect humans and subsequently cause varying degrees of respira-tory symptoms.From 2019 to 2023,millions of people died from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections,and the virus continues to mutate.Therefore,drug screening research must urgently be expanded to develop more effective,broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus drugs.In-depth research has indicated that the coronavirus 3C-like protease and RNA polymer-ase are necessary for viral reproduction and are highly conserved among strains,and consequently are anti-virus targets of great interest.This article summarizes the enzymes encoded by coronaviruses and drug screening methods,to provide a reference for coronavirus prevention and control.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of achyranthes bidentata(AB)on sperm quality in mice with sper-matogenic disorder through the glycolytic metabolic pathway and its action mechanism.Methods:We equally randomized 40 Kun-ming mice into a normal control,a model control,a low-dose AB(3.5 g/kg)and a high-dose AB group(7.0 g/kg),and established the model of spermatogenic disorder in the latter three groups of mice by intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin(30 mg/kg).Two days after modeling,we collected the testis and kidney tissues and blood samples from the mice for observation of the pathological changes in the testis tissue by HE staining,detection of perm motility with the sperm quality analyzer,examination of the apoptosis of testis cells by flow cytometry,measurement of the levels of testosterone(T),malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD)and cata-lase(CAT)in the serum and testis tissue by ELISA,and determination of expressions of the key enzymes of glycolysis hexokinase Ⅱ(HK2),pyruvate kinase M2(PKM2),platelet phosphofructokinase(PFKP),lactate dehydrogenase A(LDHA)and the meiosis pro-teins REC8 and SCP3 by Western blot,and the mRNA expressions of glycolytic phosphofructokinase 1(PFK1),phosphoglycerate ki-nase 1(PGK1),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1 β(IL-1β)by fluorescence quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR).Results:Compared with the model controls,the mice in the AB groups showed significant increases in the testis coefficient,kidney in-dex,sperm concentration,sperm motility,spermatogonia,primary spermatocytes,spermatids,sperm count and the serum T level(P＜0.05 orP＜0.01),but dramatic decreases in the apoptosis of testis cells and percentage of morphologically abnormal sperm(P＜0.01).Achyranthes bidentata also significantly elevated the levels of SOD and CAT,and down-regulated the mRNA expressions of MDA,TNF-α and IL-1β(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and up-regulated the protein expressions of HK2,PKM2,PFKP,LDHA,REC8 and SCP3,and expressions of the glycolysis key genes Pfk1 and Pgk1(P＜0.05 orP＜0.01).Conclusion:Achyranthes bidentata ameliorates doxorubicin-induced spermatogenic disorder in mice by regulating the glycolytic pathway and reducing oxidative stress and the expressions of inflammatory factors.

Purpose To evaluate the value of preoperative MRI-based radiomic models for assessing tumor-infiltrating CD8+T-cell expression in glioblastoma patients,and to identify the most stable and efficient radiomic feature region for predicting prognosis following immunotherapy.Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 150 patients with histopathologically confirmed glioblastoma from Lanzhou University Second Hospital(January 2018 to April 2022).Tumor-infiltrating CD8+T-cell expression was quantitatively assessed using immunohistochemical staining,with patients stratified into CD8-high and CD8-low expression groups based on overall survival.A total of 1 185 radiomic features were extracted from each patient's contrast-enhanced T1C and T2WI images,covering the original tumor region and sequentially expanded peritumoral regions(2.5 mm,5.0 mm,7.5 mm,10.0 mm,12.5 mm,15.0 mm morphological dilation of tumor core+peritumoral area).Feature selection was performed using variance threshold,minimum redundancy maximum relevance,and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator methods.XGBoost classifier was employed to construct clinical,radiomic,and clinical-radiomic multimodal combined prediction models.Diagnostic performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.Results The radiomic model based on tumor expansion of 7.5 mm(tumor+peritumoral region)demonstrated optimal predictive performance.The clinical-radiomic multimodal combined model showed superior predictive capability compared to clinical and radiomic models alone,achieving an area under the curve of 0.991 and accuracy of 99.0%in the training set,and area under the curve of 0.840 with accuracy of 80.0%in the validation set.Conclusion MRI radiomics provides a feasible approach for evaluating tumor-infiltrating CD8+T-cell expression in glioblastoma patients,offering potential for preoperative prognosis prediction.

Fear of disease progression(FoP)is a common psychological state among patients with coronary heart dis-ease(CHD),which exists throughout the course of disease and seriously affects the prognosis.High level of FoP not only harms the mental health of patients but also do not benefit their rehabilitation after discharge.This concept was first proposed by foreign researchers studying the psychological state of cancer patients.In recent years,there have been numerous studies on the influencing factors and qualitative aspects of FoP in CHD patients,while related inter-vention studies remain few.This paper reviews the concept,scales and related influencing factors of FoP,providing ideas for medical staff to provide targeted interventions for CHD patients.

The deep integration of party building and business operations is a crucial pathway to strengthen party building in public hospitals and promote high-quality hospital development under the new situation.This article takes the"Hongyan Van-guard Inter-hospital Transfer Service Task Force for Critically Ill Patients"of The Second Hospital of Chongqing Medical Universi-ty as the research object.Based on cross-branch collaboration practices,it systematically constructs a three-dimensional integra-tion model of"goal synergy-organizational reconstruction-capability closed-loop"and deeply analyzes the internal logic of party building leading business challenges.The research uses party building as the ideological guide and organizational reconstruction as an important measure to establish a standardized transfer process and a digital quality control system.Data shows that more than 150 cases of inter-hospital transfers of critically ill patients have been completed within a year,with a growth rate exceeding 40％.Patient satisfaction reached 98.7％,and the CMI value improved significantly.This provides an empirical model for public hospitals to solve the collaboration problems between cross-functional departments and clinical frontline departments,and achieve the"double helix"development of party building and business operations.
