In March 2024, three male and two female specimens of the genus Lispe were intercepted on cargo ships inbound for Wan Zai Port under Gongbei Customs. Based on morphological characteristics and molecular analysis, the specimens were identified as Lispe pumila. In this study, we describe the morphological features, diagnostic characteristics, and geographical distribution of L. pumila, with the aim of providing a reference for the identification of this species when intercepted at ports.

AIM:The study aims to investigate the effects of Huayu-Qutan formula(HYQT)-medicated serum on oleic acid-induced lipid damage and endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS)in HepG2 cells,and to explore the mecha-nism underlying the prevention and treatment of lipid metabolism disorders by HYQT.METHODS:The HepG2 cells were treated with various concentrations of oleic acid,and CCK8 assay,oil red O staining and ELISA were used to identify the optimal treatment concentration and time of oleic acid and HYQT-medicated serum.Moreover,the cells were divided into control,model,thapsigargin(Tg),and Tg+HYQT groups.Cellular lipid deposition was measured using oil red O staining,while triglyceride(TG)and free fatty acid(FFA)levels were assessed by ELISA.Transmission electron micros-copy was used to examine endoplasmic reticulum structures,and RT-qPCR and Wes fully automated protein quantification analysis system were used to measure the mRNA and protein expression of glucose-regulated protein 78(GRP78),sterol regulatory element binding protein 1c(SREBP1c),acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase(ACC1),fatty acid synthase(FAS)and stearoyl coenzyme A desaturase 1(SCD1)in different groups.RESULTS:Significant lipid deposition was induced in HepG2 cells after treatment with 1 000 μmol/L oleic acid,while treatment with serum containing 10%HYQT for 48 h was found to be optimal.Compared with control group,the cells in model group showed significant deposition of oil red O-stained lipid droplets in the cytoplasm,associated with endoplasmic reticulum expansion,ERS,and nuclear condensa-tion.The TG and FFA levels,and the mRNA and protein expression levels of GRP78,SREBP1c,ACC1,FAS and SCD1 were increased significantly(P<0.01).Compared with model group,the cells treated with HYQT-mediated serum showed marked decrease in the number of lipid droplets in the cytoplasm,with restored endoplasmic reticulum morphology.The TG and FFA levels were significantly reduced(P<0.01),and the mRNA and protein levels of factors related to ERS and de novo fatty acid synthesis were markedly decreased(P<0.01).Treatment with Tg,an ERS agonist,led to greater accu-mulation of cytoplasmic lipid droplets and increased endoplasmic reticulum expansion.Marked variations in the morpholo-gy and size of the endoplasmic reticulum were observed,with fusion and clustering of vacuoles.The TG and FFA levels,and the expression of ERS-and fatty acid synthesis-related factors were increased(P<0.01).Compared with Tg group,the cells treated with Tg+HYQT showed reduced number of cytoplasmic lipid droplets,attenuated endoplasmic reticulum dilation,and decreased number and volume of vacuoles,while the TG and FFA levels and the expression of ERS-and fatty acid synthesis-associated factors were significantly decreased(P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Serum containing HYQT alle-viates oleic acid-induced lipid damage in HepG2 cells by inhibiting ERS-induced de novo synthesis of fatty acids.

Objective:To investigate the nutritional risk status of children in PICU and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From July 2021 to February 2023,all children aged 1 to 18 years admitted to PICU of Beijing Children's Hospital were investigated by using the pediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Scoring tool(PYMS)and the clinical data questionnaire.Results:A total of 492 children in PICU were enrolled.The first nutritional risk screening results showed that there were 32 cases of no/low nutritional risk(6.5%),76 cases of medium risk(15.4%),and 384 cases of high risk(78.1%).The incidence of medium/high nutritional risk was as high as 93.5%.The PYMS score of nutritional risk in PICU was(2.61±1.42).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that weight,fever time before admission,white blood cells,body mass index,primary diagnosis,father's education,and diet before illness were the main influencing factors of nutritional risk of children in PICU(P<0.05).Conclusion:Children in PICU are in a state of high nutritional risk.It is suggested that children in PICU should carry out nutritional screening in a standardized manner,identify children with high nutritional risk and its influencing factors early.To actively conduct nutritional assessment and nutritional intervention could improve the clinical outcome of children in PICU.

Aim To explore the molecular mechanism of Tongluo Tangtai(TLTT)prescription in the preven-tion and treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN)based on network pharmacology and in vitro experimental verification.Methods The chemical composition information of Tongluo Tangtai was searched by TCMSP database and literature search,and the target of chemical composition was collected by PubChem and SwissTargetPrediction database.DPN targets were collected through GeneCards database.GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment of common target proteins were analyzed using DAVID database.The correlation network diagram was constructed using Cytoscape software,and the main active components and target genes were screened for molecular docking study.The in vitro model of DPN was constructed in Schwann cells induced by high glucose.The effect of TLTT on the survival rate of RSC96 cells was detected by CCK-8 method,and the gene expression of Wnt/β-catenin pathway related target molecules in RSC96 cells was detected by Real-time PCR.The expression levels of Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related proteins in RSC96 cells were detected by Western blot.Results The main active components such as stigmasterol,β-si-tosterol and quercetin were screened,which mainly ac-ted on EGFR,AKT1,MAPK3 and Wnt,PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways.The molecular docking re-sults showed that stigmasterol,β-sitosterol,quercetin and other components could dock well with EGFR,AKT1,MAPK3 and other targets.The results of cell experiment showed that 10%TLTT drug-containing ser-um could promote the viability of high-glucose Schwann cells,up-regulate the expression of β-catenin protein,and down-regulate the expression of GSK-3β and Wif-1 protein.Conclusions TLTT has the characteristics of multi-target-multi-pathway in the treatment of DPN.The possible mechanism is that TLTT activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,improves the inhibi-tory effect of high glucose on the proliferation of Schwann cells,promotes the proliferation of Schwann cells,and thus improves the status of DPN.

Objective To analyze the effects of irbesartan(IBN)regulating the stromal cell-derived factor-1(SDF-1)/CXC chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4)pathway on proliferation,migration,and radiosensitivity of lung cancer cells.Methods Human lung cancer A549 cells were randomly divided into the A549 group(without treatment),radiation group(4 Gy X-ray radiation),IBN group(1 μmol/L IBN treatment for 24 hours),IBN+radiation group(1 μmol/L IBN treatment for 24 hours+4 Gy X-ray radiation),pcDNA3.1 group(transfected with pcDNA3.1+1 μmol/L IBN treatment for 24 hours+4 Gy X-ray radiation),and SDF-1 group(transfected with pcDNA3.1 SDF-1+1 μmol/L IBN treatment for 24 hours+4 Gy X-ray radiation).The cell viability,colony formation,apoptosis,and migration of each group were observed.The leakage rate of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and Ang Ⅱ levels in cells were detected.Immunofluorescence method was applied to analyze the number of γH2AX focal points of cells in each group.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of proliferation and apoptosis related proteins and SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway related proteins.Results Both radiation and IBN treatment inhibited the proliferation and migration of A549 cells,promoted cell apoptosis,upregulated the number of γH2AX focal points and LDH leakage rate,upregulated the expression of Caspase-3,Bax,and Caspase-7,and downregulated the level of Ang Ⅱand expression of SDF-1,CXCR4,Bcl-2 and PCNA(P<0.05).The combined treatment of radiation and IBN further enhanced the changes of the above indicators(P<0.05).And SDF-1 treat-ment effectively reversed the effects of radiation and IBN treatment on the changes of the above indicators(P<0.05).Conclusion IBN can limit proliferation and migration of lung cancer cells,and increase radiosensitivity by inhibiting the SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway.
