Acupuncture and moxibustion have their unique advantages in treating tumors,but the theoretical framework of acupuncture and moxibustion intervention in tumors needs to be improved,and the academic system still needs to be sorted out.In this paper,we try to describe the commonalities between Chinese medical theories and modern medical technologies in order to consolidate the theoretical foundation of acupuncture intervention in tumor.Specifically:① Acupuncture regulates immune function and energy metabolism,which is a specific form of tonifying the spleen and stomach to support positive qi.② Tumors belong to the broad definition of"sores and ulcers"in traditional Chinese medicine,which is a special kind of chronic inflammation,and acupuncture intervenes in tumors by intervening in inflammatory reactions from ulcers.③ Tumor is a"dynamic pseudo-organ"with yin and yang attributes and"life attributes".Acupuncture and moxibustion can regulate various cells and factors in the tumor environment in a multi-targeted way,so as to make it tend to the state of yin and yang equilibrium.④ Acupuncture and moxibustion have unique advantages in the reduction of toxicity,enhancement of efficacy,tonicity,rejuvenation,treatment of complications,etc.,which complement the allopathic therapies of modern medicine,and can help to realize survival with tumors.

Objective To analyze the research status,hot directions and frontier trends of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of diseases by regulating Notch signaling pathway based on bibliometrics.Methods Based on Citespace and Vosviewer,the literature on the regulation of Notch signaling pathway by traditional Chinese medicine in CNKI and WoSCC was visually analyzed.Results 362 and 85 related literatures were published in Chinese and English respectively until January 2024.Since 2013,the number of literatures published in this field has shown a fluctuating increasing trend.China is the country with the most publications;Hunan University of Chinese Medicine were the institutions with the most publications in the Chinese database,and Beijing University of Chinese Medicine was the institution with the most publications in the English literature database.Combined with the research direction of each research team and keyword clustering and burst analysis,the research hotspots of traditional Chinese medicine regulating Notch signaling pathway are focused on cerebral ischemia,myelosuppression and hepatic fibrosis.Diseases such as Asthma,colorectal cancer have become emerging research directions in recent years.Electroacupuncture therapy to promote stem cell proliferation and treat neurological diseases is one of the frontier research trends in this field.Conclusion Recent years have seen a rapid development of traditional Chinese medicine's disease prevention and treatment that targets Notch signaling pathway.Various expert teams have obtained rich research results,and the research hotspots show a diversified trend.In-depth exploration of this can provide strong evidence for the molecular mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of various diseases.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinical isolates in Xi'an No.3 Hospital from 2019 to 2023.Methods Clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2019 to December 31,2023.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol of China Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.The data were interpreted according to the breakpoints released by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2023.Results A total of 6 621 clinical isolates were collected from 2019 to 2023,including 1 569(23.7%)strains of Gram-positive bacteria and 5 052(76.3%)strains of Gram-negative bacteria.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus,S.epidermidis and other Staphylococcus species(except SS.pseudintermedius and S.schleiferi)was 39.0%,62.3%,and 74.4%,respectively.Methicillin-resistant strains showed much higher resistance rates to most of other antimicrobial agents than methicillin-sensitive strains.No Staphylococcus strains were found resistant to vancomycin or linezolid.E.faecium strains demonstrated much higher resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than E.faecalis.The prevalence of linezolid-resistant E.faecalis and vancomycin-resistant E.faecium was 0.9%and 0.4%,respectively.The prevalence of penicillin-nonsusceptible strains(PISP+PRSP)was 5.8%in nonmeningitis S.pneumoniae isolates.The prevalence of ESBL-producing E.coli,K.pneumoniae,and P.mirabilis in Enterobacterales was 48.5%,37.8%,and 47.2%,respectively.Among Enterobacterales strains,K.pneumoniae had the highest resistance rate to imipenem(18.2%)and meropenem(17.9%).Other Enterobacterales were highly sensitive to carbapenems.The resistance rates of P.aeruginosa to imipenem and meropenem were 22.5%and 19.5%,respectively.The resistance rates of A.baumannii to imipenem and meropenem were 65.0%and 71.6%,respectively.Conclusions Antibiotic resistance is still serious in this hospital.Nearly half of the strains of E.coli,K.pneumoniae and P.mirabilis produced ESBLs.K.pneumoniae and A.baumannii showed high resistance rates to carbapenems.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance should be performed appropriately.Relevant departments need to strengthen cooperation to curb the spread of drug-resistant bacteria.

Objective:To investigate the expression characteristics of the SLFN11 gene in pancreatic cancer and its relationship with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(DDP)resistance.Methods:This study analyzed multiple publicly available datasets, including GSE207611, GSE186205, GSE73978, GSE217845, and GSE238163 from the gene expression omnibus(GEO)datasets.These datasets comprise gene expression data and single-cell sequencing data from pancreatic cancer cell lines and patients, which were utilized to examine the expression characteristics of the SLFN11 gene and its association with cisplatin resistance.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated, and the area under the curve (AUC) value along with the confidence interval ( CI) were calculated.Additionally, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)data analysis were conducted. Results:The differential expression of the SLFN11 gene between tumor and adjacent normal tissues was statistically significant( P<0.05). The AUC value for SLFN11 in diagnosing pancreatic cancer was 0.761.SLFN11, along with its associated genes PTN and SLC15A3, collectively influenced the survival of pancreatic cancer patients.Results from single-cell sequencing demonstrated high expression of SLFN11 in mesenchymal stem cells. Conclusions:The SLFN11 gene demonstrates significant diagnostic and prognostic value in pancreatic cancer and may play a role in the mechanism of cisplatin resistance.

To explore the interaction between ASFV capsid protein M1249L and host from the host cellular perspective,M1249L was selected for constructing the bait plasmid(pGBKT7-M1249L)to screen the bone marrow-derived macrophages(BMDMs)cDNA library.After again co-transform and sequence alignment,20 candidate interacting host proteins were screened,such as IL-1β,CTSB and DNAJA3.And then,co-immunoprecipitation assay was performed to verify the interaction be-tween M1249L and host proteins.GO ontology(GO)and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses re-vealed that biological regulation,cellular communication and response to stimulus and others were enriched in biological processes.And these host proteins could share some pathways,including toll-like receptor signaling pathway and Nod-like receptor signaling pathway.Therefore,the results provides the theoretical basis for further research on the mechanism of ASFV M1249L in viral in-fection and immune regulation.

Depression is a mental disorder char-acterized by mood disturbances that pose a signifi-cant threat to human mental and physical health.In recent years,the farnesoid X receptor(FXR)has been found to be expressed in brain regions such as the hippocampus and is closely related to the onset of depression.It can also affect the down-stream target cAMP response element binding pro-tein(CREB)-brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)signaling pathway,holding promise as a new target for the treatment of depression.This ar-ticle analyzes how hippocampal FXR regulates the CREB-BDNF signaling pathway and summarizes the latest research progress related to the pathogene-sis of depression,with the aim of providing precise targeted ideas for the drug development and clini-cal treatment of depression.
