To summarize Professor WANG Jianmin's experience in cathartic colon from "keeping sweet to return liquid". It is believed that the key to the pathogenesis of cathartic colon is fluid consumption and intestinal dryness， including yin depletion of spleen earth， and lack of sources for body fluids production； discordance of water and fire in kidneys， and irregular distribution of body fluids； and closure of the lungs and liver leads to inability of the flow of fluids. The treatment is based on the principle of "keeping sweet to return liquid"， using sweet medicinals mainly， assistant with sour， bland and acrid medicinals， and self-prescribed Lipi Shengjin Decoction （理脾生津汤）， Wenshen Runchang Decoction （温肾润肠汤）， Kaifei Shunchang Decoction （开肺顺肠汤）， Rougan Tongbian Decoction （柔肝通便汤） could be used to regulate spleen yin by the sweet and bland， and establish qi and promote fluid production； the sweet and warm medicinals can replenish water and fire， transform into qi， and distribute body fluids； the acrid and sweet can open lung depression， descend qi， and flow the body fluids； the sour and sweet can emolliate liver， move qi， and transform fluids.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of folic acid-modified crebanine polyethylene glycol-polylactic acid hydroxyacetic acid copolymer（PEG-PLGA） nanoparticles（FA-Cre@PEG-PLGA NPs， hereinafter referred to as NPs） combined with ultrasonic irradiation on subcutaneous tumor of liver cancer in Kunming（KM） mice. MethodsEighty-four healthy male KM mice were utilized to establish a subcutaneous tumor model of mouse hepatocellular carcinoma with H22 cells， then mice were randomly divided into model group， placebo group， hydroxycamptothecin group（8 mg∙kg^-1）， low， medium and high dose crebanine raw material groups（2， 2.5， 3 mg∙kg^-1， hereinafter referred to as the low， medium and high dose crebanine groups， respectively）， low， medium and high dose NPs groups（2， 2.5， 3 mg∙kg^-1）， and low， medium and high dose NPs combined with ultrasonic irradiation groups（2， 2.5， 3 mg∙kg^-1， hereinafter referred to as the low， medium and high dose combination groups， respectively）. The corresponding doses of drugs were administered via tail vein injection， the model group received no treatment， while the placebo group was injected with an equivalent amount of normal saline. Dosing was conducted for a total of 10 times on alternate days. The body mass of the mice was monitored， and parameters such as body mass change rate， thymus index， spleen index， tumor volume， tumor weight， relative tumor growth rate（T/C）， and tumor inhibition rate（TGI） were calculated. Pathological changes in liver and kidney tissues as well as the tumor were observed by hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining. Additionally， the levels of aspartate aminotransferase（AST）， alanine aminotransferase（ALT）， blood urea nitrogen（BUN） and creatinine（CREA） in serum of mice were detected by biochemical method. Furthermore， the effect of ultrasound on the distribution of NPs in subcutaneous tumors of mouse hepatocellular carcinoma was observed by in vivo imaging technique. ResultsAmong different treatment methods， the combination of NPs and ultrasound irradiation had the best therapeutic effect. Compared with the model group， the body mass growth rates of mice in the medium and high combination groups decreased， while the thymus index and spleen index increased， but there was no statistically significant difference in serum AST， ALT， BUN and CREA levels， indicating that NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation had little effect on the normal physiological state of the body， oth groups had TGI>40% and T/C<60%， indicating a clear anti-tumor effect. Pathological analysis showed that compared with the NPs groups， the combination groups exhibited varying degrees of necrosis in tumor cells， accompanied by less damage to the liver and kidneys. In vivo imaging of small animals showed that compared with the high dose NPs group， the high dose combination group had stronger tumor targeting ability（P<0.01）. ConclusionNPs combined with ultrasonic irradiation can not only effectively targeted the drug to the tumor site， inhibit the subcutaneous tumor growth of mouse liver cancer， but also decrease damage to liver and kidney tissues.

Objectives: To elucidate the potential mechanisms of electroacupuncture (EA) in restoring detrusor-bladder neck dyssynergia (DBND) following suprasacral spinal cord injury (SSCI). Methods: A total of 52 specific pathogen-free (SPF) grade famale Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (10 – 12 weeks, 250 – 280 g) were randomly assigned to either a sham group (n = 12) or a spinal cord injury model group (n = 40). In the model group, DBND was induced through Hassan Shaker spinal cord transection at T10 level, with 24 rats meeting inclusion criteria and subsequently randomized into DBND group (n = 12) and EA intervention group (DBND + EA group, n = 12). After spinal shock recovery (day 19 after modeling), DBND + EA group received EA treatment at Ciliao (BL32), Zhongji (RN3), and Sanyinjiao (SP6) acupoints for 20 min per session at 10/50 Hz frequencies, once daily for 10 d. Sham and DBND groups received anesthesia only without EA intervention. On day 29 post-modeling, all rats underwent urodynamic assessments, followed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, tandem mass tag (TMT) proteomics, and Western blot (WB) analysis of detrusor and bladder neck tissues. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were defined as proteins with P < 0.05, unique peptides ≥ 2, and fold change > 1.2 or < 0.83. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis was performed using KOBAS 3.0 (P < 0.01), and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were analyzed using Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) 11.5 and Cytoscape 3.9.1. Results: Compared with sham group, DBND group showed significantly elevated leak point pressure (LPP) and maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) (both P < 0.01). EA treatment significantly reduced both LPP and MCC compared with DBND group (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). HE staining revealed that EA reduced detrusor fibrosis and improved bladder neck inflammation. TMT proteomics identified 30 overlapping DEPs in detrusor and 59 overlapping DEPs in bladder neck when comparing DBND + EA/DBND groups with sham group. In detrusor tissue, KEGG analysis revealed 10 significantly enriched pathways (P < 0.01), including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. PPI analysis showed 22 of 30 DEPs were interconnected. In bladder neck tissue, 14 pathways were significantly enriched (P < 0.01), including relaxin signaling pathway, with 51 of 59 DEPs showing interconnections. Both TMT and WB validations demonstrated that compared with sham controls, DBND rats exhibited upregulated collagen type IV alpha 2 chain (Col4a2) and downregulated guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(z) subunit alpha (Gnaz) in detrusor tissue, while EA treatment normalized both proteins (both P < 0.05). In bladder neck tissue, DBND rats showed decreased expression of smoothelin (Smtn) and calcium-activated potassium channel subunit beta-1 (Kcnmb1) compared with sham controls (both P < 0.01), which were both upregulated following EA treatment (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). Conclusion EA restores detrusor-bladder neck coordination in DBND through dual-target mechanisms. In detrusor tissue, EA modulates contraction via extracellular matrix remodeling, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway regulation, and enhanced adenosine triphosphate (ATP) biosynthesis mediated by neurotransmitters. In bladder neck tissue, EA promotes relaxation by maintaining contractile phenotypes, reducing fibrosis, suppressing smooth muscle excitation, and regulating presynaptic neurotransmitter release. These findings provide mechanistic insights into EA's therapeutic role in managing DBND.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the targeting effect of folic acid-modified crebanine nanoparticles （FA-Cre@PEG- PLGA NPs， hereinafter referred to as “NPs”） combined with ultrasound irradiation on M109 cells in vitro and in vivo after administration， and explore the anti-tumor mechanism. METHODS CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation on the proliferation of M109 cells， and the best ultrasound time was selected. Using human lung cancer A549 cells as a control， the targeting of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation to M109 cells was evaluated by free folic acid blocking assay and cell uptake assay. The effects of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation on the migration， invasion， apoptosis， cell cycle and reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels of M109 cells were detected by cell scratch test， Transwell chamber test and flow cytometry at 1 h after 958401536@qq.com administration； the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP） were observed by fluorescence inverted microscope. A mouse subcutaneous tumor model of M109 cells was constructed， and the in vivo tumor targeting of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation was investigated by small animal in vivo imaging technology. RESULTS NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation could significantly inhibit the proliferation of M109 cells， and the optimal ultrasound time was 1 h after administration. The free folic acid could antagonize the inhibitory effect of NPs on the proliferation of M109 cells， and combined with ultrasound irradiation could partially reverse this antagonism. Compared with A549 cells， the uptake rate of NPs in M109 cells was significantly higher （P＜0.01）， and ultrasound irradiation could promote cellular uptake. NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation could inhibit the migration and invasion of M109 cells and block the cell cycle in the G0/G1 and G2/M phases. Compared with control group， the apoptosis rate of M109 cells and ROS level were increased significantly （P＜0.01）， while the MMP decreased significantly （P＜0.01） in the different concentration （100， 200， 300 μg/mL） groups of M109 cells. Compared with the mice in non-ultrasound group， the fluorescence intensity and tumor-targeting index of the tumor site in the 0 h ultrasound group were significantly enhanced （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation have a strong targeting effect on M109 cells in vitro and in vivo， the anti-tumor mechanism includes inhibiting cell migration and invasion， blocking cell cycle， and inducing apoptosis.

Objective: To design HBV DNA proficiency testing and system comparison samples with different concentration gradients, analyze their detection results in PCR detection systems, evaluate the nucleic acid detection capabilities of laboratories and differences between detection systems, and put forward suggestions for continuous quality improvement to participating laboratories. Methods: Three groups of randomly numbered proficiency testing samples (with HBV DNA reference concentrations of <2, 7.5, and 30 IU/mL respectively) were taken as the detection objects. Using nucleic acid test data from 11 provincial blood station laboratories as the source, the samples were grouped by detection system and laboratory successively, and statistical analysis was conducted. Results: Statistical analysis of the detection data of the three groups of samples based on detection systems and laboratories showed that from low to high concentration, the coincidence rate between the detection results of different detection systems and laboratories and the expected results showed an increasing trend: 38.89%, 85.90%, and 100.00%; the same system exhibited certain differences in performance among different laboratories. Conclusion: Through this proficiency testing and system comparison, it is found that there are certain differences in the detection capabilities of different laboratories and different nucleic acid test systems. Blood station laboratories should standardize processes, strengthen quality management and data analysis on the basis of being familiar with the detection performance of their detection systems, and at the same time strengthen the control of laboratory interference factors to continuously improve the nucleic acid detection capabilities of blood station laboratories.

Objective To explore the otherness of orthotopic injection of cell suspensions and transplantation of tumor tissue blocks to establish orthotopic implantation models of hepatocellular carcinoma in mice,and to provide a technical reference for the establishment of an orthotopic implantation model.Methods Healthy KM mice were divided into four groups:group A,direct injection of H22 cells;group B,direct injection of H22 ascitic cells;group C,transplantation of tissues;and group D,direct injection of saline.Activity and weight changes were observed regularly in each group and survival times were recorded.Liver tumor formation,tumor size,abdominal organ adhesion degree,and metastasis were observed in all groups.B-ultrasound imaging was performed,concentrations of alpha fetoprotein(AFP)and abnormal prothrombin(DCP)were detected,and liver histopathological changes were detected by hematoxylin and eosin staining.Results Mice molding operation time in groups A,B,and C were(3.36±0.44)min,(3.30±0.41)min,and(5.68±0.65)min,respectively.After modeling for 25 days,the rates of model formation in groups A,B,and C were all 100.0%.Severe abdominal adhesions occurred in 40.0%of mice in group A and 60.0%in group B,but in no mice in group C or D.Ascites occurred in 40.0%,100.0%,and 0.0%and abdominal wall tumors in 30.0%,60.0%,and 0.0%of mice in groups A,B,and C,respectively,while 40.0%of mice in group B also had liver metastasis.B-ultrasound imaging,detection of serum AFP and DCP levels,and histopathological result showed smooth liver margins,uneven echo and slightly lower echo mass,maintained high AFP and DCP secretion,and large numbers of inflammatory cells and tumor cells in mice in groups A,B,and C.Conclusions At day 25,all three methods can thus be used to establish orthotopic transplantation models of HCC.Among these,inj ection of cell suspensions demonstrated the advantage of simplicity in operation and the presence of multiple metastatic nodules within the liver,compared to transplantation of tumor tissue.Conversely,transplantation of tumor tissue showed the advantage of causing less impact on the abdomen and other organs when compared to inj ection of cell suspensions.

Lactic acid bacteria(LAB)were isolated and cultivated from the intestinal contents of rabbits by MRS-CaCO3 solid medium.Identification was achieved through morphological observa-tion,Gram staining,physiological and biochemical characterisation,16S rDNA sequence analysis,and ERIC-PCR analysis.Strains displaying typical Lactobacilli characteristics were exanimated for their biological characteristics,resistance properties,adherence capacity in vitro,colonization abili-ty in vivo,and safety profile.In this study,a total of four strains of Lactobacillus reuteri were iso-lated from rabbits,all of which exhibited typical biological characteristics of LAB.These strains demonstrated inhibitory effects on common pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract,with the primary inhibitory substance being bacteriocin.Furthermore,they showed sensitivity to chlor-amphenicol,rifampicin,and erythromycin,and displayed a degree of tolerance to gastrointestinal conditions and high temperature.These stains were capable of successful colonization in rabbits with a higher degree of safety.This study lays a foundation for the development of LAB prepara-tions for the prevention and treatment of rabbit intestinal diseases.

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.
