ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical treatment plan and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） medication rule of children with primary nephrotic syndrome （PNS） in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine. MethodsThe gender and age of children firstly diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome in the pediatric nephrology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from November 2019 to December 2022 were collected， and the use of immunosuppressive agents and related frequencies were counted. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria， an independent TCM prescription database for children with nephrotic syndrome was established. Excel was used to analyze the relevant information of the literature. The frequency counting， association rule analysis， and cluster analysis were carried out on TCM in the prescription， and the high-frequent drugs were analyzed. Results（1） General information： A total of 711 children were included， consisting of 522 males （73.42%） and 189 females （26.58%）. The ratio of male to female was about 2.76∶1. The disease mainly occurred in infants and preschool age， and the average age of onset was （4.74 ± 3.48） years old. （2） Clinical treatment plan and use of immunosuppressive agents： Of the 711 children with PNS， 237 were treated with hormone alone （32.33%）， and 474 （66.67%） received immunosuppressive agents combined with hormones. In the initial treatment， hormone combined with Tacrolimus （TAC） was the preferred treatment （32.91%）. For children with refractory PNS who exhibited poor clinical efficacy， Rituximab （RTX） was mostly used for treatment， with a ratio of up to 23.63%. （3） TCM syndrome and medication rule： In PNS syndrome differentiation， Qi and Yin deficiency was identified as the main syndrome. This involved a total of 477 cases， accounting for 67.09%. Yang deficiency of spleen and kidney was observed in 118 cases， accounting for 16.60%. A total of 711 children were included， of which 706 children were treated with TCM. This involved a total of 706 prescriptions， 226 TCM， and 9 793 frequencies. There were 30 herbs used more than 95 times. The top five TCM were Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae （81.16%）， Radix Astragali （71.81%）， Poria （68.84%）， Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae （63.60%）， and Fructus Corni （57.37%）. The drug association rules and network diagram showed that the combination of ''Radix Astragali-Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae-Poria'' was the closest， and five types of combinations were obtained by cluster analysis. ConclusionIn the diagnosis and treatment of PNS in children， TAC combined with hormones shows good clinical efficacy and high safety. For children with refractory PNS， RTX combined with hormones can be used. TCM medication for PNS should follow the basic principles of strengthening the body and vital Qi and make good use of drugs such as Radix Astragali， Poria， Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae， and cornus to regulate the Yin and Yang balance and achieve better clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate the combined effect of berberine （BBR） and fluconazole （FLC） on FLC-tolerant Candida albicans in vitro. Methods The sensitivity of 8 strains of Candida albicans to FLC was assessed by determining their minimal inhibitory concentration （MIC） using broth microdilution method. FLC-tolerant strains were screened from FLC-sensitive strains by disk diffusion assay. The effect of BBR combined with FLC on FLC-tolerant Candida albicans was investigated by disk diffusion assay. Results All eight strains of Candida albicans exhibited sensitivity to FLC, with minimal inhibitory concentration （MIC₅₀） values below 0.5 μg/ml. Strains Y0109, 9821, 7879, 7654, and 9296 displayed colony growth in the inhibition zone after 48 h of constant temperature incubation, indicating FLC tolerance. When strains Y0109 and 9821 were subjected to a combination of BBR and FLC, the number of colonies within the inhibition zone decreased progressively with the increase of BBR concentration following a 48 h constant temperature culture. The inhibition zone became clear with the increasing of BBR concentration and increased with the increase of FLC loading, which showed a dose-dependent relationship. Conclusion The BBR combined with FLC demonstrated efficacy against FLC-tolerant strains.

ObjectiveTo investigate the key targets of Jianpi Yiqi prescription （JYP） in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） based on network pharmacology and explore the effect of JYP on the invasion and proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells via protein tyrosine phosphatase， non-receptor type 1 （PTPN1） by bioinformatics analysis and CRISPR/Cas9. MethodsThe potential targets of JYP in the treatment of HCC were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP）， SwissTargetPrediction， GeneCards， NCBI， and CTD. Additionally， the active components of JYP that could interact with PTPN1 were screened out， and then molecular docking between the targets and active components was performed in Autodock 4.0. UALCAN， HPA， and LinkedOmics were used to analyze the expression of PTPN1 in the HCC tissue， and the relationship of PTPN1 expression with the overall survival （OS） of HCC patients was discussed. CRISPR/Cas9 was used to knock down the expression of PTPN1 in HepG2 and SK-hep-1 cells， and the knockdown effect was examined by sequencing， Real-time PCR， and Western blot. HepG2 cells were classified into blank control， low-， medium-， and high-dose JYP （5.25， 10.5， 21 g·kg^-1）， and PTPN1 knockout groups. Real-time PCR and Western blot were employed to determine the mRNA and protein levels， respectively， of PTPN1 in HepG2 cells of each group. The effects of JYP and PTPN1 knockdown on the proliferation， invasion， and apoptosis of HepG2 cells were detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 （CCK-8）， Transwell， and Annexin V-FITC/PI methods， respectively. ResultsJYP had the most active components targeting PTPN1， and 31 of the active components had the binding energy less than -5.0 kcal·mol^-1 in molecular docking. The mRNA and protein levels of PTPN1 in the HCC tissue were higher than those in the normal tissue （P<0.01）. Compared with that in the normal tissue， the mRNA level of PTPN1 in the HCC tissue was up-regulated at the pathological stages Ⅰ-Ⅲ and grades G₁-G₃ （P<0.01）， and it was not significantly up-regulated at the stage Ⅳ or grade G₄. The mRNA level of PTPN1 in the TP53-mutated HCC tissue was higher than that in the TP53-unmutated HCC tissue （P<0.01）. The high mRNA level of PTPN1 was associated with the OS reduction （P<0.01）. After treatment with the JYP-containing serum or knockdown of PTPN1， HepG2 cells demonstrated decreased proliferation and invasion and increased apoptosis （P<0.01）. ConclusionPTPN1 may be one of the core targets of JYP in the treatment of HCC. It is highly expressed in the HCC tissue and cells， which is associated with the poor prognosis of patients. The expression level of PTPN1 is significantly up-regulated in the HCC tissue of the patients with TP53 mutation. However， TP53 mutation or deletion does not affect the expression of PTPN1 in HCC cells. JYP can significantly down-regulate the expression of PTPN1 to inhibit the proliferation and invasion and promote the apoptosis of HCC cells.

Objective:To explore the effect of discharge preparation services in patients undergoing uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer.Methods:A total of 192 lung cancer patients who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery between April 2021 and May 2023 were selected using a convenience sampling method. The 97 patients admitted from April 2021 to April 2022 were designated as the control group and received routine care, while the 95 patients admitted from May 2022 to May 2023 were designated as the observation group and received discharge preparation services. Postoperative recovery indicators (e.g., time to first meal, time to first ambulation), the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS), the Chinese version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L), and the nursing service satisfaction questionnaire were used to evaluate the intervention's effects.Results:The observation group had significantly shorter times to first meal, first ambulation, and drain removal, as well as lower complication rates compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). After the intervention, the RHDS, FACT-L, and nursing service satisfaction questionnaire scores were significantly higher in the observation group compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The application of discharge preparation services improves postoperative recovery, discharge readiness, quality of life, and satisfaction with nursing services in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma by comparing the differences in clinical and endoscopic features between patients with duodenal papillary adenomas and adenocarcinomas.Methods:This study retrospectively included patients diagnosed as having duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma and adenoma from January 1st 2018 to June 1st 2023 at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School. Demographic, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, imaging, endoscopic and pathological characteristics of patients with adenomas and adenocarcinomas were collected and compared. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was employed to identify high-risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma.Results:A total of 119 cases of adenocarcinoma and 171 cases of adenoma were included. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of patient age, body mass index (BMI), clinical symptoms, family history of malignant tumors, bile duct dilation, pancreatic duct dilation, lesion size, adenoma site classification, stage assessed by EUS, and involvement of the bile and pancreatic ducts ( P<0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that non-ampullary lesions, involvement not limited to the major duodenal papilla assessed by EUS, involvement of the bile and pancreatic ducts assessed by EUS, age ≥60 years, lesion size ≥1.5 cm, clinical symptoms, family history of malignant tumors, bile duct dilation, and pancreatic duct dilation were risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that non-ampullary lesions ( OR=7.00, 95% CI:1.44-34.15, P=0.016), involvement not limited to the major duodenal papilla assessed by EUS ( OR=13.77, 95% CI: 4.69-40.45, P<0.001), age ≥60 years ( OR=2.52, 95% CI: 1.23-5.18, P=0.011), bile duct dilation ( OR=2.58, 95% CI: 1.12-5.94, P=0.026), and lesion size ≥1.5 cm ( OR=2.76, 95% CI:1.36-5.59, P=0.005) were independent risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma. Conclusion:This study shows the independent risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma, which include non-ampullary lesions, involvement not limited to the major duodenal papilla assessed by EUS, age ≥60 years, bile duct dilation, and lesion size ≥1.5 cm.

Objective:To investigate the indoor radon concentrations and to analyze their seasonal variations in urban and rural residential dwellings in Ningxia province.Methods:From March 2022 to March 2023, based on the administrative region division and population distribution in Ningxia, a total of 143 typical residential dwellings, including 82 urban houses and 61 rural houses, were selected to measure indoor radon concentration by CR-39 solid nuclear track detectors for 1 year in Ningxia, with detectors changed every 3 months.Results:The annual average indoor radon concentration in Ningxia was 88 Bq/m 3, range 39-226 Bq/m 3. The annual average indoor radon concentration was below 100 Bq/m 3 for 69.9% of the measured dwellings, and below 300 Bq/m 3 for all of surveyed dwellings. Indoor radon concentrations in rural areas were much higher than those in urban areas ( Z=5.85, P<0.05). Indoor radon concentration varied significantly with the seasons, higher in autumn and winter, but lower in spring and summer, in total ( χ2=63.97, P<0.05), urban ( χ2=24.74, P<0.05), and rural ( χ2=43.15, P<0.05). Conclusion:The annual average indoor radon concentrations in all the measured dwellings are below the reference level of 300 Bq/m 3 recommended by Indoor Air Quality Standard (GB/T 18883-2022) in China.

Objective To compare the results of accumulation and continuation methods in indoor radon measurement. Methods The radon concentrations in 30 households in 7 provincial capital cities of China were simultaneously measured using both accumulation and continuation methods. Results The radon concentration measured by accumulation method in 30 households ranged from 21 to 323 Bq/m³, with a median M(P₂₅, P₇₅) of 70.5 (43.8, 111). The radon concentration measured by the continuation method ranged from 16.1 to 258 Bq/m³, with a median M(P₂₅, P₇₅) of 100 (51.3, 141). The average relative percent deviation between the two measurement methods was 41.8%. There were significant differences among the measurement results at 8, 16, and 24 h by the continuation method. Pairwise comparisons showed there were statistical diffferences between 8 h and 16 h, as well as between 8 h and 24h; however, no statistical significance was found (P < 0.05), between 16 h and 24 h. Conclusion The overall continuous measurement results of the 30 households were higher than those of cumulation method. The comparison between accumulation and continuation measurement results did not show a high level of correlation (r=0.49). The continuation method is significantly affected by environmental factors, and the length of the measurement period can affect the measurement results. The selection of indoor radon measurement methods should consider the purpose, sample size, and environmental conditions.
