The S100 calcium-binding protein family member A16(S100A16)exhibits differential expression in various malignant tumors and plays a critical role in tumor progression,including effects on tumor cell proliferation,apoptosis,adhesion,epithelial-mesenchymal transition,migration,and invasion.Its aberrant expression is associated with adverse clinical outcomes,making it a potential prognostic biomarker.Fur-thermore,S100A16 is closely linked to the infiltration of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment,contributing to the establish-ment of an immunosuppressive state.The expression level of S100A16 in tumor-associated endothelial cells may also correlate with the formation of an inhibitory immune microenvironment.Additionally,S100A16 has been implicated in tumor chemotherapy resistance.This review summarizes recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms by which S100A16 contributes to different types of tumors,its regulatory effects on the tumor immune microenvironment,and its role in drug treatment resistance.The aim of this review is to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of tumor prevention and treatment and provide a theoretical foundation for overcoming drug resistance in can-cer therapy.

This article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name， origin， quality evaluation， harvesting， processing and other aspects of Picrorhizae Rhizoma by referring to the medical books， prescription books， and other documents of the past dynasties， combined with relevant modern research materials， in order to provide a basis for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing this medicinal herb. The research results indicate that Picrorhizae Rhizoma was first recorded in New Revised Materia Medica from the Tang dynasty. Throughout history， Huhuanglian has been used as its official name， and there are also aliases such as Gehu Luze， Jiahuanglian and Hulian. The main source of past dynasties is the the rhizomes of Picrorhiza kurrooa and P. scrophulariiflora. In ancient times， Picrorhizae Rhizoma was mainly imported by foreign traders via Guangzhou and other regions， and also produced in China， mainly in Xizang. In ancient times， it was harvested and dried in early August of the lunar calendar， while in modern times， it is mostly harvested from July to September， with the best quality being those with thick and crispy rhizomes without impurities， and bitter taste. Throughout history， Picrorhizae Rhizoma was collected， washed， sliced， and dried before being used as a raw material for medicine， it has a bitter and cold taste， mainly used to treat bone steaming， hot flashes， infantile chancre fever， and dysentery. There is no significant difference in taste and efficacy between ancient and modern times. Based on the research results， it is recommended that the rhizomes of P. scrophulariiflora in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia， or the rhizomes of P. kurrooa， can be used in famous classical formulas containing this medicinal herb， which can be processed according to the processing requirements marked by the original formula. For those without clear processing requirements， the dried raw products are used as medicine.

[Objective] To study the relationship between the expression intensity of HLA-Ⅰ platelet antibodies in patients with platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) and platelet cross-matching, and to further evaluate other factors in order to provide relevant data support for improving platelet transfusion efficiency and optimizing platelet transfusion regimens. [Methods] Luminex single antigen flow cytometry was used to detect platelet specific antibodies in 35 patients with hematological disease. Subsequently, the Capture-P method was employed to perform 102 crossmatchings between plasma with HLA-Ⅰ antibodies and platelets with known HLA-Ⅰ genotypes. The cross-matching results were assessed and the clinical transfusion outcomes were tracked. [Results] The positive detection rate of HLA-Ⅰ and HPA antibodies in this study was 48.6% (17/35). The negative rate of cross-matching in 102 cases was 37.3% (38/102). Multiple factors affect platelet cross-matching, such as HLA-Ⅰ antibody expression level and antibody type, antigen expression level, cross-reactivity group and eplets. Among them, the expression level and antibody type of HLA-Ⅰ antibody are the main influencing factors. However, the effectiveness of clinical platelet transfusion is not completely determined by the compatibility of platelet cross-matching. [Conclusion] In addition to avoiding strong positive HLA-Ⅰ antibodies, clinical matching should also be vigilant against the serological cross-incompatibility caused by weak positive HLA-Ⅰ antibodies. It may be necessary to establish HLA-Ⅰ low expression antigen database as a better alternative platelet donor selection strategy, and gradually explore the effectiveness of ‘low expression mismatch’ strategy for clinical platelet transfusion.

Objective:To explore the relationship between life events, anxiety, depression, and behavior problems in adolescents.Methods:From September to October 2022, the cluster sampling method was used to select 5 341 adolescents from 4 middle schools in Xinxiang urban area.The subjects and their parents were investigated by the adolescent self-rating life events check list (ASLEC), generalized anxiety disorder scale (GAD-7), patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9), and child behavior checklist (CBCL). SPSS 27.0 software was used for Spearman correlation analysis, and AMOS 28.0 software was used to construct the structural equation model.Results:The scores of anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems were 1 (0, 4), 1 (0, 4), and 3 (0, 10). The total score of life events was 5 (1, 13), and the dimensions scored as follows: interpersonal conflict 1 (0, 4), academic pressure 2 (0, 5), punishment 0 (0, 2), loss 0 (0, 0), health and adaptation problem 0 (0, 1), and others 0 (0, 2). There were positive correlations between life events and its dimensions, depression, anxiety and behavioral problems ( r=0.28-0.69, all P<0.01). In the overall population, anxiety and depression played parallel mediating roles in the impact of life events on behavior problems. Life events could positively predict anxiety ( β=0.68, P<0.01), and anxiety could positively predict behavior problems ( β=0.04, P=0.02). Life events could positively predict depression ( β=0.77, P<0.01), and depression could positively predict behavior problems ( β=0.18, P<0.01). The standardized total effect size of the impact of life events on behavioral problems was 0.622 (95% CI=0.564-0.675). The standardized direct effect size and indirect effect size were 0.460 (95% CI=0.374-0.539) and 0.162 (95% CI=0.108-0.218), accounting for 74.0% and 26.0%of the total effect, respectively. After stratification by gender, the results for male adolescents were consistent with the overall population, while the mediating effect of anxiety was not significant in the female adolescents. Conclusion:Life events can lead to anxiety and depression in adolescents, thereby increasing the risk of behavior problems.

Objective:To explore the possible mechanism of regular aerobic exercise in improving the leaming and memo-ry function in rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion reperfusion(MCAO/R). Method:Total of 36 SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:sham operation group(IS group),aero-bic exercise group(AE group),and model group(IC group).MCAO/R models were established in the IC and AE groups,while the IS group underwent the same arterial dissection without occlusion.After model estab-lishment,the rats in the AE group were trained on a treadmill for 14 days,while the rats in the IS group and IC group were only placed on the treadmill for the same duration without running.The neurological func-tion of the rats in each group was scored,the cerebral infarction focus of the rats was observed by magnetic resonance imaging T2WI scanning before and after the intervention,and the recognition and memory ability of the rats was detected by the new object recognition experiment before and after the intervention.The Western Blot was used to detect the expression of NLRP3,caspase-1,and GSDMD in the hippocampus,and immuno-histochemistry was used to detect the activation of microglia in the CA1 region of the ischemic hippocampus.The levels of IL-1β and IL-18 were detected by ELISA.The expression and co-localization of IBA1 with NL-RP3,caspase-1,and GSDMD were detected by immunofluorescence co-labeling assay. Result:Before intervention,the neurological function score and the signal intensity of the left cerebral cortex hippocampus of the IC Group were significantly higher than that of the IS group(P＜0.05),and the resolu-tion of new objects decreased significantly(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences between the AE and IC groups in the proportion of neurological deficit,cerebral infarction volume and novel object recogni-tion rate(P＞0.05).After 14 days of treadmill training intervention,compared with IC group,the AE group showed significantly lower neurological function scores(P＜0.05),reduced the percentage of cerebral infarction volume(P＜0.05),improved object recognition ability(P＜0.05),improved pathology in hippocampal CA1 area,reduced microglia activation level(P＜0.05),decreased levels of IL-1β and IL-18(P＜0.05),and significantly re-duced expression of NLRP3,caspase-1 and GSDMD proteins(P＜0.05).In addition,compared with the IC group,the accumulative optical density of NLRP3,GSDMD in CA1 and caspase-1 in CA3 regions of the ischemic hippocampus in the AE group was significantly decreased,and the number of IB A1 and NLRP3,IBA1 and GSDMD double-positive cells was significantly decreased(P＜0.05). Conclusion:Regular aerobic exercise can improve the ability of recognition and memory in MCAO/R rats,which may be related to the inhibition of hippocampal microglia pyroptosis and activation.

Through collecting the relevant records of "brain" in ancient traditional Chinese medicine literature, the potential structure and function of the "motor system of brain-meridian-muscle region" and "perception system of brain-meridian-cutaneous region" of the human body are analyzed preliminarily. In view of the characteristics of the symptoms of stroke sequela, focusing on the differentiation of disease location and associated with the identification of disease property, the pathogenesis of stroke is determined, "malnutrition of the sea of marrow, dysfunction of meridian muscle region and disharmony of the nutrient and the defensive in the meridian cutaneous region", while, the basic principle of treatment is formulated, "filling up the marrow, replenishing the brain, regulating meridian muscle regions, tonifying qi and facilitating blood circulation in meridians and collaterals". Based on the above, the acupoints selected in treatment and the techniques of acupuncture and moxibustion are clarified. This article presents the references for the clinical practice of acupuncture and moxibustion and provides the individual therapeutic regimen for stroke patients.

Natural compounds demonstrate unique therapeutic advantages for cancer treatment, primarily through direct tumor suppression or interference with the tumor microenvironment (TME). Glycyrrhizic acid (GL), a bioactive ingredient derived from the medicinal herb Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., and its sapogenin glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), have been recognized for their ability to inhibit angiogenesis and remodel the TME. Consequently, the combination of GL with other therapeutic agents offers superior therapeutic benefits. Given GL's amphiphilic structure, self-assembly capability, and liver cancer targeting capacity, various GL-based nanoscale drug delivery systems have been developed. These GL-based nanosystems exhibit angiogenesis suppression and TME regulation properties, synergistically enhancing anti-cancer effects. This review summarizes recent advances in GL-based nanosystems, including polymer-drug micelles, drug-drug assembly nanoparticles (NPs), liposomes, and nanogels, for cancer treatment and tumor postoperative care, providing new insights into the anti-cancer potential of natural compounds. Additionally, the review discusses existing challenges and future perspectives for translating GL-based nanosystems from bench to bedside.
