Follicular lymphoma(FL)is a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,and its treatment options face many challenges.This paper discusses the pathogenesis and treatment of FL based on the clear-turbid theory in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)."The clear and the turbid being related,and the rise and fall of qi being disorderly"is the basic pathogenesis of FL.As the disease progres-ses,"evil qi being blocked inside,and turbid evil harming the clear"aggravates,and finally"evil qi is strong and the disease progres-ses,and evil poison is generated inside".Based on this theory,the method of raising the clear and lowering the turbid and the method of dispersing the clear and removing the turbid are proposed to treat FL.The emphasis of raising the clear and lowering the turbid is to take raising and lowering as the key,movement and stillness as the pivot,and to treat the middle jiao;the emphasis of dispersing the clear and removing the turbid is to clear the triple jiao,warm the yang and invigorate the qi,and harmonize the spleen and kidney.Ca-ses are attached to illustrate,providing new ideas for the TCM treatment of FL.

Aim To investigate the neuroprotective effect of Takeda G protein-coupled receptor-5(TGR5)activated by INT-777 on hypoxic-ischemic encephalop-athy(HIE)in neonatal rats.Methods Seven-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into the sham opera-tion group(Sham,S),model group(HIE,G),INT-777 low-dose(L),medium-dose(M),and high-dose(H)groups.The modified Rice-Vanucci method was used to construct the HIE model and Intranasal admin-istration 1 h after modeling.Short-term neurobehavioral tests were performed 48 h after modeling to evaluate the neurological function of neonatal rats,TTC staining was used to determine the volume of cerebral infarction,dry and wet specific gravity was used to determine the brain water content,ferrous ion kit was used to deter-mine the brain ferrous ion content,HE staining was used to observe the pathological damage of brain tis-sue,Nissl staining was used to observe the loss of Nissl substance,Transmission electron microscopy(TEM)was used to observe the mitochondrial morphological changes of cortical neurons,and Western blot was em-ployed to detect the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins TFR1 and GPX4.Results Compared with group S,group G had increased short-term neurobehav-ioral test consumption time,higher scores,increased cerebral infarct volume,brain water content,and brain ferrous iron content,significant brain tissue damage on the affected side,severe loss of Nissl substance,smaller neuronal mitochondria,decreased mitochondrial cris-tae,and increased expression of TFR1 and reduced ex-pression of GPX4.Compared with group G,the INT-777 administration group had a shorter consumption time for short-term neurobehavioral tests,lower scores,the cerebral infarction volume,brain water content,and brain ferrous ion content decreased,the brain tissue damage on the affected side was reduced,and there was insignificant loss of Nissl substance,larger neuronal mi-tochondrial volume,increased mitochondrial cristae,re-duced expression of TFR1,and increased expression of GPX4.Conclusions INT-777 agonist TGR5 has a protective effect against hypoxic-ischemic encephalopa-thy in neonatal rats,and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of neuronal ferroptosis.

Isoflavones which mainly distributed in leguminous plants have plenty of health benefits.Isoflavone synthase(IFS)is a membrane-associated cytochrome P450 enzyme(CYP450)which carries out the unique aryl-ring migration and hydroxylation.So far,few crystal structures of plant P450s have been obtained.We determined the crystal structure of IFS from Medicago truncatula at 1.9 ? by MAD method using a selenomethionine substituted crystal and conducted molecular docking and mutagenesis study.The structure of IFS complexed with imidazole exhibits the helix Ⅰa-loop-helix Ⅰβ motif which cor-responds to helix Ⅰ of other P450s.Compared with structures of common P450s,IFS/imidazole structure contains an extra domain,i.e.,the γ-domain.The structure reveals a homodimer in which the γ-domain of one molecule interacts with the β-domain of another.The plane of heme group makes an angle of ap-proximately 40° with the helix Ⅰa-loop-helix Ⅰβ motif.Molecular docking combined with mutagenesis study suggested that Trp-128 and Asp-300 might play important roles in substrate binding and recogni-tion.Phe-301,Ser-303 and Gly-305 from the helix Ⅰa-loop-helix Ⅰβ motif may play important roles in the aryl-ring migration.These novel structural features reveal insights into the unique reaction mechanism of IFS and provide a basis for engineering IFS in leguminous crops for health purpose.

Objective To screen genes associated with poor prognosis of colorectal cancer(CRC)through bioinformatics analysis.Methods The gene expression profiles of GSE74602,GSE110223,GSE113513 and GSE141174 were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,including samples from 65 CRC tissues and 65 normal tissues.Differentially expressed genes(DEGs)between CRC tissues and normal tissues were screened out by GEO2R tool and Venn software,and the consistent genes were extracted from DEGs by Venn software.A protein-protein interaction(PPI)network was constructed by the STRING database to identify key genes,which were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier Plotter and GEPIA.Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis was conducted on the 13 selected genes.Results There were 171 DEGs obtained from the four datasets,including 148 up-regulated genes and 23 down-regulated genes.Up-regulated DEGs were enriched in the redox processes,bicarbonate transport,digestion,ion trans-membrane transport,and one-carbon metabolism;and down-regulated DEGs were enriched in the positive regulation of cell proliferation.The survival curve analysis showed that 30 of the 87 genes were significantly associated with poor survival prognosis.GEPIA showed that 13 of the 30 genes were highly expressed in CRC tissues compared to normal tissues,among which MYC and FGFR3 markedly enriched in the CRC pathway.Conclusion This study identifies that MYC and FGFR3 are significantly up-regulated in CRC and closely associated with poor prognosis,suggesting that they may serve as potential prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for CRC patients.

Objective To explore the abnormal expression of the MT-ND family in pan-cancers and its prognostic value.Methods Transcriptome expression and clinical data of 33 cancers were downloaded from the TCGA database,thereby analyzing the expression differences of the MT-ND family in tissuesof different types of cancers and normal tissues.The prognostic role of the MT-ND family in pan-cancers was explored by univariate Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.Results The expression of the MT-ND family was upregulated in the kidney chromophobe,acute myeloid leukemia and thymoma,and downregulated in the remaining tumors.The expression of the MT-ND family was associated with the overall survival rate of different types of cancers.In addition,the MT-ND family were significantly correlated with the immune invasion subtypes,and were correlated with stromal cell invasion and tumor cell stemness to varying degrees.The expression of MT-ND4 was downregulated in brain lower grade glioma,which was a protective factor for prognosis;while the expression of MT-ND4 in thymoma was upregulated,which was a risk factor for prognosis.Conclusion Pan-cancer analysis has confirmed that the MT-ND family can predict the tumor prognosis,which provides new ideas and strategies for the precision treatment and prognostic management of cancer.

In recent years, sleep problems among nurses have become a prominent social focus, and sleep disorders are widespread among nurses. ICU nurses are more prone to problems such as decreased sleep quality, shorter sleep duration, and daytime sleepiness than nurses in other departments due to special and complex work environments. Sleep disorders seriously affect the physical and mental health of ICU nurses and the quality of nursing care. This paper reviews the influencing factors, interventions, and assessment tools for sleep disorders among ICU nurses in order to inform the development of effective interventions.
