Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of Huangqi Jianzhong Decoction(HJD)on gastric mucosal injury induced by Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection.Methods A Wistar rat model of Hp-induced gastric mucosal injury was established.Successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into five groups:model group,low-,medium-and high-dose HJD groups,and quadruple therapy group(Omeprazole+Amoxicillin+Clarithromycin+Colloidal Bismuth pectin),8 rats per group,with an additional normal group.After 4 weeks of treatment,gastric mucosal pathological changes were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Serum levels of interleukin 1β(IL-1β),interleukin 18(IL-18),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),chemokine(C-X-C motif)ligand 1(CXCL1),chemokine(C-X-C motif)ligand 9(CXCL9),and gastrin-17(G-17)were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Protein expression levels of IRF8,IFN-γ,interferon-induced tetratricopeptide repeat protein 3(Ifit3)and uridine phosphorylase 1(Upp1)in gastric mucosal tissues were detected by Western Blot.Results Compared with the normal group,the model group exhibited significant gastric mucosal damage,serum levels of IL-1β,IL-18,TNF-α,CXCL1 and CXCL9 were significantly increased,G-17 was drcreased,and protein expression levels of IRF8,IFN-γ,Ifit3 and Upp1 in gastric mucosa were significantly increased,the differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the gastric mucosal tissue injury of rats in the medium-and high-dose of HJD groups and the quadruple therapy group was significantly improved,the levels of IL-1β,IL-18,TNF-α,CXCL1 and CXCL9 in serum were significantly decreased,G-17 was significantly increased,and the protein expression levels of IRF8,IFN-γ,Ifit3 and Upp1 in gastric mucosa were significantly decreased,the differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05).The effect in above indexes in high-does HJD groups was superior to the low-and mediun-groups.Conclusion HJD alleviates Hp-induced gastric mucosal injury by inhibiting the IRF8/IFN-γ signaling pathway and subsequent inflammatory responses.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term outcomes and predictors of coronary atherosclerotic lesions deemed functionally non-ischemic (quantitative flow ratio(QFR)>0.80) and deferred from intervention.Methods:This study is a post-hoc analysis of the FAVOR Ⅲ China trial, which enrolled 3 825 patients with stable or unstable angina pectoris or with myocardial infarction occurring at least 72 hours prior to screening, between December 5, 2018 and January 9, 2020 from 26 research centers in China. Coronary vessels with QFR>0.80 and without interventional treatment were analyzed in this study. The primary endpoint was 3-year target vessel revascularization. Vessels with revascularization (revascularized group) during follow-up were matched 1∶1 using propensity score matching to comparable vessels without revascularization (non-revascularized group). Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for target vessel revascularization (TVR).Results:A total of 6 212 functionally negative vessels with deferred intervention were included in the final analysis, among which 153 vessels (2.5%) underwent TVR during a 3-year follow-up. Prior to propensity score matching, 6 059 vessels comprised the non-revascularized group. At the vessel level, compared to the non-revascularized group, the revascularized group exhibited a significantly higher proportion of males (79.1% (121/153) vs. 70.2% (4 253/6 059), P=0.018), higher body mass index ((25.6±4.0) kg/m2 vs. (24.3±5.2) kg/m2, P=0.003), and a higher prevalence of hypertension (73.9% (113/153) vs. 65.1% (3 944/6 059), P=0.025). And 152 pairs of vessels were successfully matched. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified in-stent restenosis lesions ( HR=2.59, 95% CI 1.28-5.23, P=0.008) as an independent risk factor for target vessel revascularization. Conclusions:Coronary lesions classified as functionally non-ischemic at baseline are not entirely stable and may progress to lesions that requiring revascularization over time. In-stent restenosis emerges as a critical independent predictor of revascularization.

Background::There is a need for effective and safe therapies for psoriasis that provide sustained benefits. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab, an anti-interleukin-23p19 monoclonal antibody, for treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in Chinese patients.Methods::In this multi-center, double-blind, phase III trial, patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis were enrolled and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive subcutaneous tildrakizumab 100 mg or placebo at weeks 0 and 4. Patients initially assigned to placebo were switched to receive tildrakizumab at weeks 12, 16, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Patients in the tildrakizumab group continued with tildrakizumab at week 16, and every 12 weeks until week 52. The primary endpoint was the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) response rate at week 12.Results::At week 12, tildrakizumab demonstrated significantly higher PASI 75 response rates (66.4% [73/110] vs. 12.7% [14/110]; difference, 51.4% [95% confidence interval (CI), 40.72, 62.13]; P <0.001) and Physician’s Global Assessment (60.9% [67/110] vs. 10.0% [11/110]; difference, 49.1% [95% CI, 38.64, 59.62]; P <0.001) compared to placebo. PASI 75 response continued to improve over time in both tildrakizumab and placebo-switching to tildrakizumab groups, reaching maximal efficacy after 28 weeks (86.8% [92/106] vs. 82.4% [89/108]) and maintained up to 52 weeks (91.3% [95/104] vs. 87.4% [90/103]). Most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild and not related to tildrakizumab. Conclusion::Tildrakizumab demonstrated durable efficacy through week 52 and was well tolerated in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.Trial registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05108766.

Objective : To investigate the effects of immunoglobulin gene superfamily 10 (IGSF10) on prolifera- tion，migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells． Methods : ioinformatics was applied to study the ex- pression levels of IGSF10 in tumor tissues and normal tissues． Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR ( qPCR) were used to detect the expression level of IGSF10 in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines and normal lung epi- thelial cells．Knockdown of IGSF10，the effect of knockdown of IGSF10 on proliferation，migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells was examined using cell counting kit-8 ( CCK-8) ，Transwell migration and inva- sion assay，scratch assay and plate cloning assay．The effects of knockdown of IGSF10 on the expression of invasion and migration-related genes in A549 cells were examined by Western blot and qPCR assays. Results : IGSF10 ex- pression in lung adenocarcinoma tissues was lower than that in normal tissues (P ＜0. 05) ．IGSF10 expression in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines was lower than that in lung epithelial cells (P＜0. 05) ．Knockdown of IGSF10 pro- moted the ability of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells to proliferate ，proliferation ，migration and invasion ( P < 0. 05) ．Knockdown of IGSF10 promoted the expression of regulatory epithelial-mesenchymal transition marker Neu- ral-cadherin (N-cadherin) and key transcription factors Snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (Snail) and Snail family transcriptional repressor 2 (Slug) (P＜0. 05) and inhibited the expression of Epithelial-cadherin (E-cad- herin) (P＜0. 05) ． Conclusion Knockdown of IGSF10 may promote proliferation，migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells through activation of Snail，Slug / E-cadherin signaling axis，and this result may provide a po- tential new target for clinical diagnosis and treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of immune-related psoriasis caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).Methods:The patients with newly developed or worsening psoriasis after ICIs treatment in Department of Oncology, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from November 2019 to October 2023 were enrolled in this study. The patients′ gender, age, tumor type and stage, usage and dosage of ICIs, drugs applied in combination, history of psoriasis, the time of new onset or deterioration, clinical manifestations, intervention measures and outcomes were collected, and descriptive statistical analysis was performed.Results:A total of 13 patients were enrolled in the study, including 10 males and 3 females, with a median age of 66 years. The primary diseases included lung cancer (in 7 patients), gastric cancer (in 5 patients), and cholangiocarcinoma (in 1 patient). The tumor stage was Ⅳ in 12 patients and Ⅲ in 1 patient. Ten patients were treated with programmed cell death 1 receptor (PD-1) inhibitors, 2 with programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors, and one with a PD-1/cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 combination antibody. All 13 patients were treated with other anti-tumor drugs at the same time. There were 10 patients with a history of psoriasis and 3 patients with newly developed psoriasis. The median time from the use of ICIs to the onset or deterioration of psoriasis was 54 days. Ten patients were plaque psoriasis and 3 were drip psoriasis. Among the 13 patients, 5, 5, and 3 patients were classified as mild, moderate, and severe, respectively. ICIs treatment was suspended in 11 patients and not stopped in 2 patients. After treatment with glucocorticoids, the skin lesions of 13 patients were improved and ICIs were restarted in 3 patients.Conclusions:ICIs-related psoriasis usually occurs within 2 months after the use of ICIs. The clinical types are plaque-like and drop-like, mostly mild or moderate. The prognosis is good after discontinuing ICIs or giving glucocorticoids and other drugs. Some patients can restart ICIs treatment.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the formulation of a porcine fibrin patch （abbreviated as “DBT”）. METHODS Based on single-factor tests， with the contents of fibrinogen， thrombin and collagen before freeze-drying as the factors， with the overall desirability （OD） value of adhesion strength， holding viscosity and water absorption as response value， the formulation of DBT was optimized by Box-Behnken-response surface methodology， and the verification tests were conducted. RESULTS According to the results of the single factor tests and Box-Behnken-response surface methodology， combined with the actual production， the optimal formulation of DBT was 6.5 mg/cm2 of fibrinogen， 8.0 IU/cm2 of thrombin and 5.6 mg/mL of collagen. The average OD value of 3 validation tests was 0.726 6 （RSD＝0.58%， n＝3）， and the relative error of which with the predicted value （0.733 0） was －0.87%. CONCLUSIONS The optimal formulation of DBT is stable and feasible.
