ObjectiveTo observe the protective effect of Erchentang （ECT） on SiO₂-induced lung injury in rats and to explore its underlying mechanism. MethodsA rat model of lung injury was established by a single intratracheal instillation of 50 mg·mL^-1 SiO₂ suspension. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly assigned to five groups： control， model， low and high-dose （4.5 g·kg^-1·d^-1 and 9 g·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively） ECT， and dexamethasone （0.2 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）. All the groups were treated for 4 consecutive weeks. Histopathological alterations in the lung tissue were examined by hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining. The levels of malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， and glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） in the lung tissue were measured through biochemical assays. The expression of key molecules in the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） pathway was determined by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）， Western blot， and immunofluorescence assay. The primary active components of ECT were identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS）， and their binding affinity to Nrf2/HO-1 was assessed by molecular docking. Untargeted metabolomics of the lung tissue was performed based on UPLC-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-TOF-MS）， and correlation analysis was performed to identify differential metabolites and parameters closely associated with the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group exhibited a reduction in body weight gain， an increase in lung index， increased MDA content， weakened SOD and GSH-Px activities in the lung tissue， down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of Nrf2 and protein levels of HO-1 and GPX4， and an up-regulated protein level of Keap1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Treatment with ECT attenuated the SiO₂-induced decline in body weight （P<0.05）， alleviated inflammatory cell infiltration and silicotic nodule formation in alveoli， and reduced the MDA content and enhanced the SOD and GSH-Px activities in the lung tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）. UPLC-MS/MS and molecular docking revealed that core components of ECT， such as hesperidin and glycyrrhizic acid， displayed strong binding affinity to Nrf2/HO-1. Molecular biological experiments demonstrated that ECT promoted nuclear translocation of Nrf2， up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of HO-1 and GPX4， and down-regulated Keap1 expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Metabolomic analysis indicated that ECT reversed the SiO₂-induced aberrant expression of metabolites， including linoleic acid and glutamine （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Correlation analysis showed that Nrf2 and HO-1 were positively correlated with SOD and GSH-Px （P<0.05， P<0.01）， but negatively correlated with glutamine and serine （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionECT may activate the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway through its core active components， thereby regulating oxidative stress and metabolic disorders to ameliorate SiO₂-induced lung injury in rats. This study provides experimental evidence for ECT in the prevention and treatment of occupational lung injury.

Gastric cancer remains one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies of the digestive tract worldwide,underscoring the urgent need for more effective targeted therapeutic strategies.Poly(ADP-ri-bose)polymerase(PARP)inhibitors have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in tumors with homologous recombination repair(HRR)deficiency;however,their clinical application in gastric cancer remains limited.Clinical evidence suggests that patients harboring Helicobacter pylori infection in combination with HRR gene mutations exhibit a significantly elevated risk of developing gastric cancer,thereby supporting the potential benefit of PARP inhibition in this setting.In this study,a kinase inhibitor library was screened in combination with the PARP inhibitor olaparib in gastric cancer cells.And we identify the cy-clin-dependent kinase 8/19(CDK8/19)inhibitor Senexin A as a compound that synergistically enhances the cytotoxic effect of PARP inhibition(P<0.05).Phenotypic validation using CCK-8 and colony for-mation assays demonstrated that the combination treatment significantly suppressed cellular proliferation and clonogenic potential compared to either monotherapy(P<0.0001).Mechanistically,alkaline comet assays revealed a significant increase in DNA damage in the combination treatment group relative to either single-agent group(P<0.0001),suggesting that the synergistic effect results from the exacerbation of DNA damage via impaired DNA repair mechanisms.In addition,treatment with CDK8/19 inhibitors a-lone markedly increased the formation of γH2AX and 53BP1 foci in irradiated gastric cancer cells(P<0.0001),indicating inhibition of DNA damage repair pathways.Transcriptome sequencing further re-vealed that CDK8/19 inhibition impacts critical cellular pathways,including DNA repair,cell cycle reg-ulation,and RNA splicing.Co-immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that inhibition of CDK8/19 kinase activity significantly reduces the phosphorylation level of PARP1,suggesting a potential regulatory inter-action.Immunohistochemical analysis of tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues from gastric cancer pa-tients demonstrated that CDK8 is significantly overexpressed in tumor tissues,supporting its potential as both a prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target.Collectively,this study elucidates a mechanistic ba-sis by which CDK8/19 inhibition enhances the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to PARP inhibitors.These findings provide a strong rationale for the combined use of CDK8/19 and PARP inhibitors as a tar-geted therapeutic strategy and offer promising translational implications for advancing personalized medi-cine in gastric cancer treatment.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of biplane double-supported screw fixation(BDSF)in the treatment of femoral neck fracture(FNF)and the influencing factors of surgical failure.Methods A total of 360 patients with FNF hospitalized in our hospital from November 2022 to May 2024 were selected as the research objects.According to the random number table method,the patients were divided into the observation group[application of BDSF under the multi-disciplinary treatment(MDT)and green channel mode]and the control group[application of cannulated compression screw(CCS)fixation under the MDT and green channel mode],with 180 cases in each group;According to the failure of surgical treatment or fixation in the observation group,the patients were further divided into the surgical failure group(n=50)and effective surgery group(n=130).The risk factors were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.The establishment and fitting of the model were analyzed by Logistic regression.The discrimination,prediction accuracy and clinical value of the model were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration curve and decision curve analysis(DCA)curve,respectively.Results Compared with the control group,the observation group had shorter operation time and hospitalization time(P<0.05),less intraoperative blood loss and fewer intraoperative fluoroscopy times(P<0.05),lower proportion of patients with avascular necrosis of femoral head and fixation failure(P<0.05),and higher Harris hip score 24 months after operation(P<0.05).Garden classification,fracture line location,reduction quality and preoperative traction were the independent influencing factors of surgical failure(P<0.05).The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the model to predict the risk of surgical failure was 0.867(95%CI:0.751 to 0.946).The calibration curve analysis results showed that the predicted probability of the model was approximately equal to the actual probability,with a Brier value of 0.095.DCA analysis results showed that the threshold probability of the model was 0.1 to 0.9,indicating a high net profit.Conclusion BDSF has a good effect in FNF surgery,which can shorten the operation time and hospitalization time,reduce the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy and bleeding,which is more conducive to hip joint function recovery.Garden classification,fracture line location,reduction quality,and preoperative traction are all the independent influencing factors for surgical failure.
