ZHANG Zhongjing's Zhenwutang is a classic formula for warming Yang and excreting water. It is composed of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, Poria, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Paeoniae Radix Alba, and Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens. Physicians of later generations have inherited and developed this formula by detailed recording and application. This paper adopted bibliometrics method to analyze Zhenwutang in terms of history, indications, dosage, drug processing, usage, and modification. The results showed that Zhenwutang was most widely used in Ming and Qing dynasties. Many physicians have inherited ZHANG Zhongjing's theory regarding the application of Zhenwutang in disease treatment, and a few physicians have used it to treat diphtheria and water-related diseases. Some physicians modified this formula to treat maculae, intermittent dysentery, jaundice and so on. Zhenwutang was mainly used to treat diseases of the circulatory system, respiratory system and urinary system in modern clinical practice. The processing of herbal medicines in this formula was clear. Specifically, the raw material of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata needed to be processed and peeled, while those of Poria, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Paeoniae Radix Alba, and Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens can be used directly. Although being different, most of the dosages were consistent with those in Treatise on Febrile Diseases. According to the textual research, it is suggested that the reference dosage of this prescription in clinical practice is 41.25 g for Poria, Paeoniae Radix Alba, and Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, respectively, 27.5 g for Atractylodes macrocephala, and 15 g for Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata. The medicinal materials should be decocted in 1 600 mL water to reach a volume of 600 mL. After removal of the residues, the decoction should be taken warm with 140 mL each time, three times a day. The textual research of Zhenwutang is expected to provide a theoretical reference for the clinical application and formulation of Zhenwutang.

Objective:To screen biomarkers related to the prognosis of gastric cancer and the efficacy of 5-fluorouracil based on the bioinformatics method.Methods:Gastric cancer datasets like GSE54129, GSE79973 and GSE51725 based on GPL570 platform were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Genes related to the overall survival (OS) of the top 500 gastric cancer patients were downloaded from GEPIA2 online gene expression profile.GEO2R was used to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEG) between gastric cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues, STRING database was used to build protein-protein interaction networks (PPI) and to identify the key genes, the enrichment analysis of gene ontology (GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) was made by using OmicShare. Kaplan-Meier Plotter was used to calculate the value of key genes in predicting the OS of gastric cancer patients. All patients were divided into the high expression group and low expression group according to the optimal cut-off value of gene expression level.Results:A total of 59 DEG were screened, including 39 up-regulated genes and 20 down-regulated genes. The key up-regulated genes including homeodomain transcription factors 2(PITX2), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1), transforming growth factor β 2 (TGFB2), thromobospondin 1 (THBS1) were analyzed by using PPI. Survival analysis results showed that the OS of gastric cancer patients with low expression of FGF1, HGF, PITX2 and TGFB2 genes was better (all P < 0.01); the OS of gastric cancer patients with low expression of THBS1 gene was poor, while the difference was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). The patients with low expression of RIEG1 gene who received 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy regimen had the better OS ( P < 0.01),while those with THBS1 and HGF low expression had the worse OS ( P < 0.05). It was found that key genes might promote the development of gastric cancer by participating in the regulation of TGF- β signaling pathway, Rap1 signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Hippo signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway and focal adhesion pathway. Conclusions:Bioinformatics analysis shows that the expressions of FGF1, HGF, PITX2 and TGFB2 genes are related to the prognosis of gastric cancer, and the expressions of RIEG1, THBS1 and HGF are related to the efficacy of 5-fluorouracil, which may be used as a predictive marker of fluorouracil chemosensitivity in patients with gastric cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the left ventricular myocardial strain and mechanical synchrony in patients suspected of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) and real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE), and to investigate the value of combined echocadiographic parameters in predication of significant coronary artery stenosis.Methods:A total of 95 patients suspected of NSTE-ACS, definitely planed to run coronary angiography (CAG) within 24-72 hours of admission were recruited in the Department of Cardiology, General Hospital of the Southern Theatre Command, PLA from December 2020 to June 2021. Regular echocardiography exam, 2D-STI and RT-3DE were performed prior to CAG.Global longitudinal peak strain (GLPS), territorial longitudinal peak strain (T RCALPS, T LADLPS, T LCXLPS) were computed by 2D-STI; the maximal difference of time to minimal systolic volume of 16-segments (Tmsv16-Dif), standard deviation of time to minimal systolic volume of 16-segment (Tmsv16-SD) and heart rate adjusted standard deviation of time to minimal systolic volume of 16-segment (Tmsv16-SD/R-R) were obtained by RT-3DE. The patients were divided into two groups according to the degree of coronary stenosis.Significant coronary artery stenosis group was defined as ≥70% of left main or any other main branch luminal narrowing ( n=53), non-significant coronary artery stenosis group was defined as <70% of luminal narrowing ( n=42). The differences of general clinical features, left ventricular strain and mechanical synchronization parameters between the two groups were compared. A binary logistic regression model was established to draw the ROC curve for predicting the severity of coronary stenosis by single and combined ultrasound parameters, and calculate the area under the ROC curve (AUC). Results:Compared with non-significant coronary artery stenosis group, GLPS were significantly reduced, while Tmsv16-SD, Tmsv16-Dif and Tmsv16-SD/R-R were significantly increased in sginificant coronary artery stenosis group (all P<0.05). The AUC of GLPS and Tmsv16-SD, Tmsv16-Dif and Tmsv16-SD/R-R for predicting significant coronary stenosis in suspected NSTE-ACS patients were 0.78, 0.69, 0.71 and 0.67, respectively. The result of joint test analysis for the dignosis of NSTE-ACS suspected significant coronary stenosis were as follows: the specificity of tandem test was 90.5%; the sensitivity of parallel test was 83.0%; the sensitivity, specificity and AUC of GLPS-Tmsv16-Dif joint index prediction test were 90.7%, 60.1% and 0.82 (95% CI=0.73-0.89) with 0.508 as Youden index. Conclusions:NSTE-ACS suspected patients with significant coronary stenosis are often accompanied by impaired left ventricular myocardial strain and mechanical dyssynchrony. A simple combination of left ventricular myocardial strain and contractility synchronization improves noninvasive prediction of high-risk coronary artery stenosis in suspected NSTE-ACS, which maybe helpful for screening patients requiring invasive examination.

Background and purpose: The technique of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is widely applied in differential diagnosis between benign and malignant tumor and therapeutic estimation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in clinic. However, there is no standard quantitative measurement method. This study aimed to assess the variability of different region of interest (ROI) selections for tumor bed of breast cancer using DCE-MRI, and to ascertain the optimal ROI delineation. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed DCE-MRI of 30 patients diagnosed with breast cancer by pathology. The ROIs were delineated by 2 different observers using iCAD software with 4 methods, including whole tumor (Whole), the slice containing the most enhancing voxels (SliceMax), 3 slices centered in SliceMax (Partial) and the 5% most enhancing contiguous voxels within SliceMax (5Max), to generate the volume transfer constant (Ktrans), the extracellular volume fraction (Ve) and rate constant (Kep). And the reproducibilities of the measurements were assessed using the Bland-Altman method. Results: In the analysis of ROIs delineation, the Ktrans, Ve and Kep reported by different observers were 1.26±0.54 vs 1.25±0.53, 0.75±0.23 vs 0.73±0.22 and 1.93±1.46 vs 1.95±1.51 (P>0.05) using the method of Whole, and 1.28±0.43 vs 1.26±0.43, 0.74±0.21 vs 0.80±0.27, 1.95±1.53 vs 1.93±1.43 (P>0.05) using the method of Partial, and 1.30±0.33 vs 1.32±0.33, 0.77±0.20 vs 0.73±0.24, 1.82±1.53 vs 1.87±1.45 (P>0.05) using the method of SliceMax, and 1.31±0.35 vs 1.35±0.33, 0.77±0.20 vs 0.98±0.25, 1.97±1.36 vs 1.73±1.55 using the method of 5Max (P<0.05). Using the methods of ROI delineation except 5Max, there was no significant difference between Ktrans, Ve and Kep reported by different observers. The bias vs limits of agreement were 0.002 vs-0.013 to 0.012,-0.003 vs-0.023 to 0.017, 0.006 vs-0.018 to 0.029,-0.035 vs-0.054 to 0.018 measured with Whole method, SliceMax, Partial and 5Max respectively using the Bland-Altman method. Conclusion: It may be reliable to measure functional parameters of primary tumors in breast cancer using DCE-MRI according to the methods of Whole, Partial and SliceMax.
