ObjectiveThe pulmonary edema （PE） model where the disease was located in the viscera was established according to the treatment principle that patients with the disease location inside should be treated with descending and sinking medicine， combined with changes in the disease tendency， to verify the scientificity of descending and sinking properties of Descurainiae Semen Lepidii Semen （SD）， and to preliminarily elucidate the scientific connotation of descending， ascending， floating and sinking of Chinese medicine. MethodSixty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group， model group （20 mg·kg^-1）， positive drug group （dexamethasone， 0.075 mg·kg^-1） and SD low （1.167 g·kg^-1）， medium （2.334 g·kg^-1）and high （4.668 g·kg^-1） dose groups. The PE model was established by intrapleural injection of 1% carrageenan （2 mL·kg^-1）. The evaluation indexes （lung autopsy， amount of pleural effusion， number of white blood cells， lung wet/dry weight ratio， lung water content and lung permeability） were tested to determine the optimal dose of SD decoction for intervention of PE. The relevant indexes of the five major systems （central nervous system， respiratory system， circulatory system， digestive system and urinary system） closely related to the body's Qi movement were detected and changes in the disease tendency in PE rats were analyzed， to determine the descending， ascending， floating and sinking properties of SD. In addition， histopathological changes were investigated by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and types and numbers of inflammatory cells and mediators were detected to preliminarily explore the mechanism of SD in improving PE. ResultCompared with the conditions in the normal control group， the amount of pleural effusion， number of white blood cells in pleural effusion， lung wet/dry weight ratio， lung water content and lung permeability were increased （P<0.01） in the model group， where the rats presented cough， dyspnea， shortness of breath and arched back， and a small number of them had wet nose and bubble liquid in nostrils. In the autopsy of the rats in the model group， the lungs were enlarged or accompanied by congestion and plenty of pink bubble liquid appeared at the trachea. Compared with the conditions in the model group， SD reduced the amount of pleural effusion， number of white blood cells in pleural effusion， lung coefficient， lung wet/dry weight ratio and lung water content （P<0.01）， and improved pulmonary edema symptoms such as damage， inflammation and infiltration around the lumen， thickening of the trachea， and accumulation of edema fluid， and the SD medium dose group had the best effect on the treatment of PE. In terms of respiratory system， compared with the normal control group， the model group had reduced latent time of cough and asthma （P<0.05， P<0.01） and elevated number of cough and wheezing （P<0.01）. The three SD groups had increased latent time of cough and asthma and decreased number of cough and wheezing （P<0.01）. In terms of urinary system， compared with the normal control group， the model group presented decreased urine volume. The SD low， medium and high dose groups had increased urine volume （P<0.05， P<0.01）， but they had no effect on perspiration. In terms of digestive system， compared with the conditions in the normal control group， the gastric residual rate and gastrin （GT） level were increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the gastric emptying rate and small intestine transit rate were decreased （P<0.01）. The SD low dose group had elevated small intestine transit rate （P<0.01）， and the SD high and medium groups had enhanced gastric emptying rate and small intestine transit rate （P<0.01）， reduced gastric residual rate， lowered GT level to promote gastrointestinal movement and transportation （P<0.01）， and increased motilin （MTL） level to promote gastric emptying in rats （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In terms of circulatory system， compared with the normal control group， the model group displayed reduced left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF）， left ventricular short axis shortening rate （LVFS） and cardiac output （CO） （P<0.01）， and elevated tendency of heart rate， systolic blood pressure （SBP， P<0.01） and diastolic blood pressure （DBP， P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the SD low dose group increased LVEF and decreased DBP （P<0.05）， while the SD medium dose group increased LVEF， LVFS， CO and SBP （P<0.01） and decreased DBP （P<0.05）， and the SD high dose group increased LVFS （P<0.01） and decreased SBP （P<0.01） and DBP （P<0.05）. In terms of central nervous system， compared with the conditions in the normal control group， the standing times dropped in the model group （P<0.01）. SD reduced the movement distance， movement time， standing times and activity time in the center of the open field， and increased the rest time and activity time at the edge of the open field （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Moreover， compared with the normal control group， the model group had serious inflammatory infiltration around the lung lumen， thickened trachea with accumulated edema fluid， seriously damaged lung tissue， increased number of white blood cells and percentage of neutrophils in blood （P<0.01）， elevated percentage of monocytes， interleukin-4 （IL-4）， immunoglobulin E （IgE） level and reactive oxygen species （ROS） level in lung tissue （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and decreased IFN-γ in alveolar lavage fluid （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， SD decreased the number of white blood cells， neutrophil accumulation， pulmonary congestion and interstitial edema， IFN-γ and IL-4 levels in alveolar lavage fluid and ROS level in lung tissue， and increased IgE level （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionSD had a significant improvement effect on PE model where the disease was located in the viscera. It could regulate the excretion of water by purgation， regulate Qi movement and expel Qi stagnation by descending and sinking lung Qi， and promote purification and descent of lung qi to make Qi movement downward. This indicated SD had the descending and sinking properties. The medium dose of SD decoction exerted the best effect， and its mechanism of action might be through regulating the neutrophil inflammatory response.

Circular RNA is a kind of single-stranded RNA ring without 5'capping and 3'polyadenylation.As a new member of non-coding RNA, circular RNA is evolutionally conserved, relatively stable,highly specific and enormously abundant.Instead of liner RNA,circular RNA became the research hotspot.So far,cerebellar degeneration-related protein 1 antisense(CDR1as)is a molecule that has garnered intense research.CDR1as harbors 74 conventional miRNA-7 binding sites.Expression of CDR1as efficiently tethers micro RNA-7, resulting in reduced micro RNA-7 activity and increased levels of micro RNA-7 targeted transcripts consistent with the micro RNA sponge and competing endogenous RNA(ceRNA)hypothesis.Moreover,CDR1as can restore micro RNA-7 and release it at right time.CDR1as can be stabilized in the exosomes.And its level has correlation with many clinical characteristics.

Tumor progression locus 2 (Tpl2) is a crucial three-stage kinase of the mitogen-activited protein kinase (MAPK) family,which plays an important role in MAPK pathway and other signaling pathways.In recent years,a large number of studies have found that aberrant expressing Tpl2 is involved in tumorigenesis and development of various cancers,and is expected to serve as a new biomarker and therapeutic target.Therefore,to reveal the mechanism of Tpl2 will provide a feasible theoretical basis and potential interventional target for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers.

As the crucial member of noncoding RNA family,there is increasing evidence that long noncoding RNA has participated in numerous physiological and pathological processes of organisms.HOXA distal transcript antisense RNA is a long noncoding transcript located at the 5'tip of HOXA.According to research reports,the up-regulation of HOTTIP is closely associated with occurrence and progression of multiple digestive system cancers and promotes the carcinogenesis.The regulatory effect of long noncoding RNA HOXA distal transcript antisense in digestive system neoplasms will be summarized in this article.

With the advance of biology technology, non-coding RNA (ncRNA) has been confirmed to be closely associated with the occurrence and development of the cancer. The ncRNA can be divided into two groups by length, including microRNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). As a member of lncRNA,LINC00152(long intergenic non-protein-coding RNA 152)has been taken into cancer research, which can regulate the activity of miRNA and involve the regulation of gene transcription of gene transcription and protein generation. The characteristics of LINC00152 that correlate with many clinical manifestations and can be detected in liquid biopsies make it becoming new biomarkers of cancer diagnosis. This paper reviews the current progress of LINC00152 in gastrointestinal cancer.

It has been estimated that approximately 75% of the human genome is transcribed into RNA, 74% of which would be transcribed into non-coding RNA (ncRNA).The ncRNA can be divided into 2 major groups including small RNA and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA).There is increasing evidence that the dysregulation of lncRNA is closely associated with the occurrence and progression of many tumors.The lncRNA taurine up-regulated gene 1 (TUG1) is originally detected in a genomic screen for genes in response to taurine treatment of developing mouse retinal cells.According to research reports, dysregulation of TUG1 participates in the progression of a variety of tumors.Therefore, the regulatory effects of lncRNA TUG1 on tumorigenesis are summarized in this article.
