Radiation-induced intestinal injury is caused by high dose of radiation in the abdomen and pelvis. The disease is characterized by complicated pathological mechanisms and poses significant challenges to clinical treatment, seriously affecting the quality of life and health of patients. Current treatments in modern medicine offer limited efficacy and are often associated with adverse side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine monomers inhibit inflammatory factors (e.g., tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β) and regulate the antioxidant enzyme system (e.g., improving the activity of superoxide dismutase) to effectively reduce the symptoms of radiation-induced intestinal injury with minimal side effects. Through targeted delivery of nanoparticles, nanotechnology can accurately deliver the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine to damaged intestinal tissues, thus improving their bioavailability and therapeutic effects. This paper reviews the mechanisms of Chinese medicine monomers in the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced intestinal injury and the application of nanotechnology for enhanced efficiency. The paper also discusses the clinical potential of these approaches. These results provide a reference for future research and clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of Sishenwan in restoring the intestinal barrier function in the rat model of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) due to spleen-kidney Yang deficiency based on intestinal flora and short-chain fatty acids. MethodsAfter the delivery of 10 SPF-grade pregnant rats, 4 male suckling rats were kept in each litter for the experiment. The male suckling rats were randomly allocated into blank, model, low-dose (3.51 g·kg-1) Sishenwan, high-dose (7.02 g·kg-1) Sishenwan, and Peifeikang (0.54 g·kg-1) groups, with 8 rats in each group. The blank group was fed conventionally, and the other groups were subjected to mother-child separation and Sennae Folium gavage (1 g·mL-1, 10 mL·kg-1) for the modeling of IBS-D due to spleen-kidney Yang deficiency. After the modeling was completed, the rats in Sishenwan groups were administrated with the corresponding dose of Sishenwan decoction by gavage, and the Peifeikang group with bifidobacterium triple live powder+normal saline suspension. The blank and model groups were treated with an equal volume of normal saline by gavage. The general conditions and fecal characteristics of rats were observed. After 2 weeks of administration, the rats were anesthetized for sample collection. The pathological changes of the colon tissue in rats were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and interleukin-22 (IL-22). Immumohistochemical staining (IHC) was performed to detect the positive expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin in the colon tissue. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of ZO-1 and occludin in the colon tissue of rats, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed for intestinal flora. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was employed to determine the content of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the cecum contents of rats. ResultsThe colon tissue in the blank group presented a clear structure, neat glands, and no inflammatory cell infiltration. In the model group, the colon tissue showcased a disorganized structure, irregular arrangement of glands, and inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the model group, the low-dose and high-dose Sishenwan groups and the Peifeikang group exhibited an intact colon tissue structure, regular arrangement of glands, and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the blank group, the modeling lowered the levels of TGF-β, IL-10, and IL-22 in the serum (P<0.01), down-regulated the protein levels of ZO-1 and occludin in the colon tissue (P<0.01), and decreased the content of acetic acid and propionic acid and increased the content of butyric acid in cecum contents (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, low-dose and high-dose Sishenwan raised the levels of TGF-β, IL-10, and IL-22 in the serum (P<0.05, P<0.01), and Peifeikang elevated the levels of TGF-β and IL-10 in the serum (P<0.01). High-dose Sishenwan and Peifeikang up-regulated the protein levels of ZO-1 and occludin (P<0.05, P<0.01), increased the content of acetic acid and propionic acid in cecum contents (P<0.05), and decreased the content of butyric acid (P<0.05). The 16S rRNA gene sequencing results showed that the intestinal flora structure of the model group changed compared with that of the blank group. Compared with the model group, Sishenwan and Peifeikang increased the relative abundance of Lachnospiraceae, Muribaculaceae, Akkermansiaceae, Ligilactobacillus, UBA3282, Akkermansia, and Corynebacterium while reducing the relative abundance of Oscillospiraceae, Desulfovibrionaceae, Lactobacillus, Romboutsia, and Desulfovibrio. They can restore the intestinal flora structure similar to that in the blank group. ConclusionSishenwan can alleviate diarrhea symptoms and colonic mucosal inflammation, increase the expression of tight junction proteins in the colonic mucosa, and strengthen the intestinal barrier in IBS-D rats with the syndrome of spleen-kidney Yang deficiency. The mechanism of action may be related to optimizing the structure and balance of intestinal flora and regulating the SCFAs, and the effect of high-dose Sishenwan is obvious.

Chinese Medical Journal 2025;138(22):2993-3003
BACKGROUND:
Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is indicated as a broad-spectrum medicine for a variety of diseases, including cancer and cardiac disease. While the role of ATO in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI) has not been reported. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify the effects of ATO on HIRI.
METHODS:
In the present study, we established a 70% hepatic warm I/R injury and partial hepatectomy (30% resection) animal models in vivo and hepatocytes anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) models in vitro with ATO pretreatment and further assessed liver function by histopathologic changes, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, cell counting kit-8, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) for extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 was transfected to evaluate the role of ERK1/2 pathway during HIRI, followed by ATO pretreatment. The dynamic process of autophagic flux and numbers of autophagosomes were detected by green fluorescent protein-monomeric red fluorescent protein-LC3 (GFP-mRFP-LC3) staining and transmission electron microscopy.
RESULTS:
A low dose of ATO (0.75 μmol/L in vitro and 1 mg/kg in vivo ) significantly reduced tissue necrosis, inflammatory infiltration, and hepatocyte apoptosis during the process of hepatic I/R. Meanwhile, ATO obviously promoted the ability of cell proliferation and liver regeneration. Mechanistically, in vitro studies have shown that nontoxic concentrations of ATO can activate both ERK and phosphoinositide 3-kinase-serine/threonine kinase (PI3K-AKT) pathways and further induce autophagy. The hepatoprotective mechanism of ATO, at least in part, relies on the effects of ATO on the activation of autophagy, which is ERK-dependent.
CONCLUSION
Low, non-toxic doses of ATO can activate ERK/PI3K-AKT pathways and induce ERK-dependent autophagy in hepatocytes, protecting liver against I/R injury and accelerating hepatocyte regeneration after partial hepatectomy.

Objective To explore the effect and possible pharmacological mechanism of Bufei Tongbi Decoction in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus interstitial lung disease (SLE-ILD).Methods The effective components and related targets of Bufei Tongbi Decoction were obtained using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and Uniprot database. Key genes for SLE-ILD were screened based on DrugBank,DisGeNET,GeneCards,PharmGKB,OMIM,and GEO databases. Using Cytoscape software,a drug active ingredient-target-disease relationship network diagram was constructed to obtain the effective active ingredients and possible mechanisms of action of Bufei Tongbi Decoction in the treatment of SLE-ILD. Gene ontology (GO) function enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were used to reveal related target genes and pathway functions. Taking C57BL/6 mice as normal group,MRL/lpr mice were injected with bleomycin 5mg/kg in the nasal cavity. According to the random number table method,the mice were divided into model group,Bufei Tongbi Decoction low-dose group (10.4 g/(kg·d)),Bufei Tongbi Decoction medium-dose group (20.8 g/(kg·d)),Bufei Tongbi Decoction high-dose group (41.6 g/(kg·d)) and prednisone group (3 mg/(kg·d)). The intervention lasted for 28 days. Hematein eosin and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of mouse lung tissue,the expressions of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and collagen type Ⅲ (Col-Ⅲ) in lung tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry,and the expressions of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-10 (IL-10) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) in serum were detected by ELISA. The mRNA expressions of matrix metallopeptidase 1(MMP-1),hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α),retinoid-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt ) and forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) in lung tissue were analyzed by RT-PCR,the protein expressions of HIF-1α and MMP-1 in lung tissue were detected by Western blotting,and the expressions of T helper 17 cells (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in blood were detected by cytometry.Results A total of 163 effective ingredients,259 targets,1729 SLE-ILD disease targets,958 SLE-ILD differential genes and 40 drug-disease interaction targets were obtained by screening. GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment showed that IL-17 signaling pathway activated by IL-1β and MMP-1,and Th17 cell differentiation activated by IL-1β and HIF-1α were the main pathways. Animal experiments showed that Bufei Tongbi Decoction could effectively improve the degree of lung interstitial lesion and reduce the expressions of TGF-β1 and Col-Ⅲ in SLE-ILD mice (P<0.01). The expressions of IL-1β,HIF-1α and IL-17 were decreased (P<0.01). Medium and high doses of Bufei Tongbi Decoction decreased the expressions of MMP-1 and RORγt mRNA (P<0.01),and increased the expressions of IL-10 and FOXP3 mRNA (P<0.01). Bufei Tongbi Decoction could reduce the proportion of Th17 cells,increase the proportion of Treg cells,downregulate the balance of Th17/Treg (P<0.05),and improve the immune disorder. Conclusion Bufei Tongbi Decoction has the characteristics of multi-target and multi-pathway in treating SLE-ILD,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of Th17/Treg cell balance.

Objective:To investigate the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors on reducing residual lymph node metastasis in patients with gastric cancer.Methods:The cohort of this retrospective study comprised patients from Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University who had undergone systemic treatment prior to gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy and had achieved Grade 1 primary tumor regression (TRG1) from January 2014 to December 2023. After exclusion of patients who had undergone preoperative radiotherapy, data of 58 patients (Nanfang Hospital: 46; First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University: 12) were analyzed. These patients were allocated to preoperative chemotherapy (Chemotherapy group, N=36 cases) and preoperative immunotherapy plus chemotherapy groups (Immunotherapy group, N=22 cases). There were no significant differences between these groups in sex, age, body mass index, diabetes, tumor location, pathological type, Lauren classification, tumor differentiation, pretreatment depth of invasion by primary tumor, pretreatment lymph node stage, pretreatment clinical stage, mismatch repair protein status, number of preoperative treatment cycles, or duration of preoperative treatment (all P>0.05). The primary outcome measure was postoperative lymph node downstaging. Secondary outcomes included postoperative depth of invasion by tumor, number of lymph nodes examined, and factors affecting residual lymph node metastasis status. Results:Lymph node downstaging was achieved significantly more often in the Immunotherapy group than the Chemotherapy group (pN0: 90.9% [20/22] vs. 61.1% [22/36]; pN1: 4.5% [1/22] vs. 36.1% [13/36]; pN2: 4.5% [1/22) vs. 0; pN3: 0 vs. 2.8% [1/36], Z=-2.315, P=0.021). There were no significant difference between the two groups in number of lymph nodes examined (40.5±16.3 vs. 40.8±17.5, t=0.076, P=0.940) or postoperative depth of invasion by primary tumor (pT1a: 50.0% [11/22] vs. 30.6% [11/36]; pT1b: 13.6% [3/22] vs. 19.4% [7/36]; pT2: 13.6% [3/22] vs. 13.9% [5/36]; pT3: 13.6% [3/22] vs. 25.0% [9/36]; pT4a: 9.1% [2/22] vs. 11.1% [4/36], Z=-1.331, P=0.183). Univariate analysis revealed that both preoperative treatment regimens were associated with residual lymph node metastasis status in patients whose primary tumor regression was TRG1 (χ 2=6.070, P=0.014). Multivariate analysis incorporated the following factors: pretreatment depth of invasion by primary tumor, pretreatment lymph node stage, pretreatment clinical stage, number of preoperative treatment cycles, and preoperative treatment duration. We found that a combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy administered preoperatively was an independent protective factor for reducing residual lymph node metastases in study patients whose primary tumor regression was TRG1 (OR=0.147, 95%CI: 0.026–0.828, P=0.030). Conclusion:Compared with preoperative chemotherapy alone, a combination of preoperative immunotherapy and chemotherapy achieved greater reduction of residual lymph node metastases in the study patients who achieved TRG1 tumor regression in their primary lesions.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-positive bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System(BRICS)were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units,and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus( n=1 147,36.3%),coagulase-negative Staphylococci( n=928,29.3%), Enterococcus faecalis( n=369,11.7%), Enterococcus faecium( n=296,9.4%)and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci( n=192,6.1%). The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci(MRCNS)were 26.4%(303/1 147)and 66.7%(619/928),respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome,rifampin,compound sulfamethoxazole,linezolid,minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%(2/369),and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions( χ2=14.578, P=0.002),while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions( χ2=15.195, P=0.002). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals( χ2=13.519 and 12.136, P<0.001). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions(per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022)were higher than those in economically less advanced regions(per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan)( χ2=9.969 and 7.606, P=0.002和0.006). Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China, Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time;the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China,with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.
