ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Baitouweng Tang in inhibiting the growth of esophageal cancer (EC) cells by regulating budding uninhibited by benzimidazoles 1 (BUB1)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway. MethodGene chip technology was used to explore the differential gene expression between esophageal cancer tissues and normal tissues and identified differentially expressed genes. The differentially expressed genes were analyzed by bioinformatics methods. EC cells were treated with 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 mg·L-1 Baitouweng Tang. EC cell viability was detected by Thiazolyl Blue (MTT) colorimetry. Cell cycle and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. The expression of BUB1 was measured by real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The protein levels of BUB1, STAT3, phosphorylated (p)-STAT3, Cyclin B1 (CCNB1), cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase(Caspase)-3, and Caspase-9 were measured by Western blot. The migration and invasion abilities of the cells were measured by wound-healing and Transwell invasion assays. ResultDifferentially expressed genes were primarily involved in biological processes, signaling pathways, and network construction related to cell mitosis, with BUB1 identified as a key core gene. Compared with the control group, Baitouweng Tang inhibited BUB1 expression (P<0.05,P<0.01). In vitro experiments showed that compared with the control group, Baitouweng Tang could significantly inhibit the growth (P<0.05,P<0.01), migration and invasion (P<0.05,P<0.01) of EC cells, induce apoptosis (P<0.05,P<0.01), and cause G2/M phase increase (P<0.01). After treatment with Baitouweng Tang, compared with the results in the control group, the expression of Caspase-3, and Caspase-9 in EC cells increased significantly (P<0.05,P<0.01), while the expression of Bcl-2, BUB1, CCNB1, and CDK1 decreased significantly (P<0.05,P<0.01). Moreover, the STAT3 signaling pathway was also found to play an important role in this process. ConclusionBaitouweng Tang may inhibit the growth of EC cells by downregulating BUB1 and mediating the STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the symptom clusters, core symptoms and bridging symptoms in the symptom network of early postoperative patients with laryngeal cancer.Methods:From January 2021 to April 2024, convenience sampling was used to select early postoperative patients with laryngeal cancer admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology at the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China as participants. The General Information Questionnaire and M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory-Head & Neck were used for the survey. R language software was used to analyze symptom clusters, core symptoms, and bridging symptoms in early postoperative patients with laryngeal cancer.Results:A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed and 287 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 95.7%. Network analysis extracted three symptom clusters (oropharyngeal specific symptom cluster, shortness of breath and fatigue symptom cluster, and sleep emotion symptom cluster), among which the oropharyngeal specific symptom cluster was the most severe. Symptom network analysis showed a strong correlation between oropharyngeal pain and swallowing difficulties, distress and fatigue, and restless sleep and sadness. Shortness of breath exhibited the highest intensity centrality ( rs=1.29) and mediation centrality ( rb=96) in the symptom network. It was the core symptom and bridging symptom in the symptom network of early postoperative patients with laryngeal cancer. Conclusions:Early postoperative patients with laryngeal cancer have a severe oropharyngeal-specific symptom cluster, with shortness of breath being the core symptom and bridging symptom in the symptom network. Medical and nursing staff should focus on the mutual influence between early symptoms of patients after laryngectomy and correctly identify core symptoms and bridging symptoms to improve symptom management accuracy.

Objective :
To establish a microwave-assisted digestion-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with an octopole reaction system for simultaneous determination of six heavy metals in peanuts, including Cr, Ni, As, Cd, Pb, Hg.
Methods :
Peanut samples were shelled and crushed evenly, and 0.350 0 g was accurately weighed and digested with 5 mL nitric acid and 1 mL hydrogen peroxide in a digestion tank. Following microwave-assisted digestion, pure water was used to quantify the samples, and internal standards and an octopole reaction system were used to remove the interference. Then, the contents of six heavy metals were determined in peanuts by ICP-MS. The accuracy and precision of ICP-MS were evaluated using national criteria ( GBW 10013 and GBW 10044 ) and spike-and-recovery testing.
Results :
The six heavy metals showed good linearity at the selected linear range ( r≥0.999 8 ). The detection limits of ICP-MS ranged from 0.001 4 to 0.023 8 ng/mL, and the spike-and-recovery rates ranged from 94.7% to 98.8%, with the relative standard deviations ranging from 0.7% to 3.6%. In addition, the determination results of the standard reference materials were all within the normal reference range. The detection of six heavy metals was 100.0% in 60 peanut samples, and the contents of six heavy metals were all low.
Conclusion
The established ICP-MS assay is feasible for simultaneous determination of multiple heavy metals in peanuts.
