Objective:To assess the relationship between basophil levels and mortality in patients with intra-abdominal infection.Methods:Information on patients with intraperitoneal infection admitted to the intensive care unit were extracted from the MIMIC database.A time-dependent Cox regression model was used to adjust for confounders associated with 28-day mortality.Propensity score matching(PSM)was used to balance the baseline differences be-tween groups with different basophil levels,and a restricted cube chart(RCS)was used to show the relationship between basophil count and 28-day mortality in patients with intra-abdominal infection.Results:A total of 4403 patients with intra-abdominal infection were enrolled in the MIMIC database.Patients with high basophil levels have lower mortality than those with low basophil levels.There was an L-shaped curve between basophil level and 28-day mortality,with a cut-off value of 0.47×109/L.Cox regression analysis showed that basophil levels were an independent protective factor for mortal-ity in patients with intra-abdominal infection after adjusting for potential confounders(HR=0.586,95%CI:0.443-0.769).Protective factors for death at basophil levels remained after PSM adjusted for potential confounders(HR=0.628,95%CI:0.470-0.832).Conclusion:Basophil level is an independent protective factor for mortality in patients with intra-abdominal infection,and basophil levels should be dynamically monitored to better evaluate the prognosis of patients.

Aim To explore the mechanism of action of Guizhi Jia Gegen decoction(GGD)in treating pneu-monia-enteritis induced by H1N1 influenza virus infec-tion in a mouse model,using network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques,followed by in vivo verification.Methods A pneumonia-enteritis mouse model was established,and the intervention effects of GGD on the model mice were evaluated using indica-tors such as body weight,rectal temperature,lung in-dex,colon length,H1N1 M gene expression,relative mRNA expression levels of inflammatory cytokines,and pathological sections of the lung and intestine.The targets of the blood-absorbed components of GGD were identified using the Swiss Target Prediction platform,and the disease targets were retrieved from the Gene-Cards platform.The intersecting targets were analyzed through PPI network analysis using the STRING data-base to identify core targets.GO analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed using the Metascape database.RT-qPCR was employed to vali-date the core targets and pathways.Molecular docking was conducted using AutoDock Tools software to verify the interactions between blood-absorbed components and key targets.Results GGD demonstrated signifi-cant therapeutic effects on the pneumonia-enteritis mouse model.The results of network pharmacology in-dicated that the therapeutic effects of GGD were strong-ly associated with targets such as TNF,ALB,PTGS2,MMP9,EGFR,ESR1,SRC,HSP90AA1,PPARG and MMP2.RT-qPCR results indicated that GGD could intervene in pneumonia-enteritis by regulating the targets TNF,ALB,EGFR and the related targets of the NF-κB pathway.Molecular docking results re-vealed that blood-absorbed components such as puerar-in and liquiritin could stably bind to TNF,ALB and EGFR.Conclusion Components such as puerarin and liquiritin in GGD may exert therapeutic effects on pneumonia-enteritis induced by H1N1 influenza virus infection by acting on targets such as TNF,ALB and EGFR.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of probiotics in the adjuvant treatment of bronchial asthma and to explore the relationship between their action and intestinal flora.Methods:A total of 76 newly diagnosed patients with mild-to-moderate bronchial asthma treated at Baotou Central Hospital between November 2023 and January 2025 were randomly divided into two groups:the conventional treatment group(n=38)and the combined probiotic treatment group(n=38).Post-treatment comparisons were made between the two groups regarding symptom resolution time,Asthma Control Test(ACT)scores,lung function,fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO)levels,serum inflammatory cytokines,complement levels,and other indicators.Faecal samples were collected for 16S rDNA sequencing of gut microbiota.Results:Baseline characteristics showed no significant differences between the two groups(P＞0.05).Compared to the conventional treatment group,the combined probiotic group exhibited significantly shorter resolution times for asthma symptoms and lung rales(P＜0.001),significantly higher ACT scores,FEV1,and PEF(P＜0.001),and significantly lower FeNO levels(P＜0.001).Additionally,serum interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and complement C3 levels were significantly reduced(P＜0.001),while serum interleukin-6(IL-10)levels were significantly increased(P＜0.001).16S rDNA sequencing revealed no significant changes in gut microbiota richness or diversity in the conventional treatment group before and after treatment(P＞0.05),whereas intestinal flora richness and diversity were significantly increased in the combined probiotic treatment group compared to the pre-treatment group(P＜0.05).Correlation analysis between gut microbiota and inflammatory markers demonstrated that Faecalibacterium and Bifidobacterium abundance were negatively correlated with TNF-α levels(P＜0.05),while Escherichia-Shigella,and Streptococcus abundance were positively correlated with TNF-α levels(P＜0.05).Streptococcus and Klebsiella abundance were positively correlated with IL-6 levels(P＜0.05).Escherichia-Shigella and Streptococcus abundance were negatively correlated with IL-10 levels and positively correlated with complement C3 levels(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Probiotics may assist in improving bronchial asthma symptoms by influencing the gut flora to reduce the inflammatory response.
