Lipidomics is an emerging discipline that systematically studies the various types, functions, and metabolic pathways of lipids within living organisms. This field compares changes in diseases or drug impact, identifying biomarkers and molecular mechanisms present in lipid metabolic networks across different physiological or pathological states. Through employing analytical chemistry within the realm of lipidomics, researchers analyze traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). This analysis aids in uncovering potential mechanisms for treating diverse physiopathological conditions, assessing drug efficacy, understanding mechanisms of action and toxicity, and generating innovative ideas for disease prevention and treatment. This manuscript assesses recent literature, summarizing existing lipidomics technologies and their applications in TCM research. It delineates the efficacy, mechanisms, and toxicity research related to lipidomics in Chinese medicine. Additionally, it explores the utilization of lipidomics in quality control research for Chinese medicine, aiming to expand the application of lipidomics within this field. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to foster the integration of traditional medicine theory with modern science and technology, promoting an organic fusion between the two domains.

Objective:To investigate the molecular biological mechanism of Bw07 allele and its transferase alteration carried by a proband of ABw07 subtype.Methods:A 2-year-old male child was selected as the research object. The peripheral blood of the proband and his parents was identified for ABO blood type by the test tube method, and the ABO subgroup PCR-SSP detection and ABO gene sequencing were performed on the three individuals to determine their blood type genotypes. Finally, the effect of the p.Arg352Gln mutation on Bw07 transferase was verified by virtual mutation, DUET structure prediction, molecular dynamics analysis, and in vitro cellular experiments.Results:The serological phenotypes of the proband and his mother were ABw and Bw, respectively, while his father was normal A. The ABO subgroup PCR-SSP assay identified the three genotypes as Bw07/A, Bw07/O, and A/A, respectively.Sanger sequencing further verified that the proband and his mother carried the Bw07 gene, and virtual mutation showed that the intermolecular forces were weakened by the R352Q mutation. DUET predicted that this p.Arg352Gln mutation could affect the thermodynamic stability of Bw07 transferase. Molecular dynamics analysis confirmed that the alteration of thermodynamic stability was mainly related to the appearance of large fluctuations in the amino acid backbone atoms in the 125-133, 193-198 and 336-354 regions, and in vitro cellular experiments further verified the weakened antigen synthesis of Bw07 transferase.Conclusion:The formation of the ABw07 phenotype is associated with the mutation of the highly conserved Arg352 to Gln in Bw07 transferase.

Objective To statistically analyze the perioperative results of patients with ABO-incompatible kidney trans-plantation(ABOi-KT),in order to explore the changes in blood group antibody of type-A/B recipients.Methods A total of 33 cases of blood group A/B ABOi-KT recipients in our hospital from January 2021 to October 2023 were recruited and divided into two groups of group A(n=18)and group B(n=15)according to the different blood types of recipient.The effects of preoperative plasmapheresis on antibody titer,antibody rebound and renal function after operation(serum urea ni-trogen,creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate on the 1st,3rd,7th and 14th day)were analyzed between the two groups.According to the postoperative rebound of blood type antibodies,33 recipients were divided into antibody rebound group(n=7)and non rebound group(n=26),and the differences in initial blood type antibody titers between the two groups were analyzed.Results There was no significant difference in the clearance rate of IgM with preoperative plasma ex-change between the two groups(Z=-0.26,P＞0.05);Levels of serum urea nitrogen and creatinine on the 1st,3rd,7th and 14th day after operation between group A and group B were not statistically significant(P＞0.05),the same as eGFR.Group B was more prone to rebound antibody compared with group A(P＜0.05).There was a significant difference in the in-itial IgM antibody titer between the blood type antibody rebound group and the non rebound group(Z=-2.127,P＜0.05),but no statistically significant difference in the initial IgG antibody titer(Z=-1.835,P＞0.05)between the two groups was found.Conclusion The patients type B receiving type AB kidney donors are more prone to rebound antibody after ABOi-KT operation compared to the the patients type A receiving type AB.

Background::Breast cancer (BC) risk-stratification tools for Asian women that are highly accurate and can provide improved interpretation ability are lacking. We aimed to develop risk-stratification models to predict long- and short-term BC risk among Chinese women and to simultaneously rank potential non-experimental risk factors.Methods::The Breast Cancer Cohort Study in Chinese Women, a large ongoing prospective dynamic cohort study, includes 122,058 women aged 25-70 years old from the eastern part of China. We developed multiple machine-learning risk prediction models using parametric models (penalized logistic regression, bootstrap, and ensemble learning), which were the short-term ensemble penalized logistic regression (EPLR) risk prediction model and the ensemble penalized long-term (EPLT) risk prediction model to estimate BC risk. The models were assessed based on calibration and discrimination, and following this assessment, they were externally validated in new study participants from 2017 to 2020.Results::The AUC values of the short-term EPLR risk prediction model were 0.800 for the internal validation and 0.751 for the external validation set. For the long-term EPLT risk prediction model, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.692 and 0.760 in internal and external validations, respectively. The net reclassification improvement index of the EPLT relative to the Gail and the Han Chinese Breast Cancer Prediction Model (HCBCP) models for external validation was 0.193 and 0.233, respectively, indicating that the EPLT model has higher classification accuracy.Conclusions::We developed the EPLR and EPLT models to screen populations with a high risk of developing BC. These can serve as useful tools to aid in risk-stratified screening and BC prevention.

Objective:To explore the molecular basis for an individual with Bel subtype of the ABO blood type due to a novel c. 620T>C variant gene, and assess its impact on the structure of GTB transferase.Methods:An individual who had visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University on February 11, 2023 was selected as the study subject. ABO phenotyping was initially conducted with serological methods, which was followed by direct sequencing of 7 exons of the ABO gene. Subsequently, single-strand sequencing was carried out by using allele-specific primers, and the variant in the B transferase was homology-modeled using the Modeller software. The impact of the variant on the transferase′s spatial structure was analyzed with the PyMOL software. Results:The serological phenotype of the patient was identified as the Bel subtype. Direct sequencing revealed that she has harbored a novel c. 620T>C variant, resulting in a p. Leu207Pro substitution in the polypeptide chain. Combined with single-strand sequencing, her genotype was ultimately determined as ABO* BELnew/ ABO* O.01.02. Three-dimensional protein structure modeling showed that, compared with the wild type, the distance of one hydrogen bond between Proline and Glycine at position 272 has increased, along with disappearance of another hydrogen bond. Conclusion:The novel c. 620T>C (p.Leu207Pro) variant of B allele may affect the structural stability of the glycosyltransferase. The weakened enzyme activity in turn may lead to reduced B antigen expression, manifesting as the Bel subtype by serological analysis.

Objective:To study the molecular basis for a proband with A subtype B of the ABO blood group and explore the influence of amino acid variant on the activity of glycosyltransferase (GT).Methods:A proband who had presented at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University on July 2, 2020 was selected as the study subject. Serological identification of the ABO blood groups of the proband and her family members were performed by gel card and test tube methods. The ABO gene of the proband was identified by PCR-sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) and DNA sequencing. A 3D molecular homologous model was constructed to predict the impact of the variant on the stability of α-(1→3)-D-N-acetylgalactosamine transferase (GTA). Results:The red blood cells of the proband, her mother and two younger brothers showed weak agglutination with anti-A and strong agglutination with anti-B. The sera showed 1~2+ agglutination with Ac and no agglutination with Bc. Based on the serological characteristics, the proband was identified as AwB subtype. Pedigree analysis suggested that the variant was inherited from her mother. The blood group of the proband was identified as A223B type by PCR-SSP. ABO gene sequencing analysis showed that the proband has harbored heterozygous variants of c. 297A>G, c. 467C>T, c. 526C>G, c. 657C>T, c. 703G>A, c. 796C>A, c. 803G>C, c. 930G>A and c. 1055insA. Based on the results of clone sequencing, it was speculated that the genotype was ABO* A223/ ABO* B.01. There were c. 467C>T and c. 1055insA variants compared with ABO* A1.01, and c. 1055insA variant compared with ABO* A1.02. Homologous modeling showed that the C-terminal of A223 GT was significantly prolonged, and the local amino acids and hydrogen bond network have changed. Conclusion:Above results revealed the molecular genetics mechanism of A223B subtype. The c. 1055insA variant carried by the proband may affect the enzymatic activity of GTA and ultimately lead to weakening of A antigen.

Objective To study and compare the oral microbiota and metabolites of children with Henoch Schonlein purpura(HSP)to identify specific microbiota and metabolites related to this disease and elucidate the pathogenesis of HSP.Methods Three groups of qualified subjects were included,including 20 in the HSP group,20 in the HSP nephritis(HSPN)group,and 20 in the control group.Perform high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolic profiling of saliva from each group to analyze the correlation between differential microbiota and differ-ential metabolites.Results(1)Compared with the control group,there was a significant difference in richness and diversity in the HSPN group(P＜0.05).At the same time,there was no significant difference in richness and diver-sity in the HSP group(P＞0.05).Compared with the HSP group,the abundance,and diversity of the HSPN group were significantly increased(P＜0.05).At the genus level,the proportion of Streptococcus in each group is the high-est.Compared with the control group,there was no significant correlation between the HSP group and the genus of bacteria.In contrast,the HSPN group showed a significant increase in the genera of Pseudomonas and Parabacteroi-des(P＜0.05).Compared with the HSP group,the abundance of Pseudomonas and Parabacteroides in the HSPN group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).(2)Compared with the control group,the HSPN group had 12 differen-tial metabolites involving nine metabolic pathways,such as phenylalanine metabolism;There was no significant dif-ference in metabolites and no metabolic pathway in the HSP group.Compared with the HSP group,the HSPN group has 15 differential metabolites involving nine metabolic pathways,such as phenylalanine metabolism.(3)In the HSPN and control groups,Pseudomonas and Parabacteroides negatively correlated with Phenylalanine metabolic pathway products.In the HSPN and HSP groups,Pseudomonas,Parabacteroides,and Phenylalanine metabolic path-way products were negatively correlated.The metabolites involved in phenylalanine metabolism in the oral cavity are 2-hydroxycinnamic acid,Phenylpyruvic acid,and N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine.Conclusion There is a significant dif-ference between HSPN and HSP children and healthy children.Streptococcus,Pseudomonas,and Parabacteroides may be one of the trigger factors of HSPN,and Phenylalanine metabolism may be one of the pathways in the patho-genesis of HSPN.Children with HSPN have a more pronounced imbalance in oral microbiota and greater differences in metabolic products than children with HSP.
