Heart and spleen deficiency syndrome is the most common syndrome type in patients with insomnia. Based on the theory of disease syndrome-combined animal model, this paper used multiple databases to search for the keywords "heart and spleen deficiency", "insomnia", "sleepless", "disease syndrome-combined animal model", "model evaluation", etc. It selected the literature related to the animal model of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency in the past 20 years to evaluate from the aspects of model establishment, modeling factors, syndrome model, disease model, macro characterization & macro characterization evaluation scale, micro indicators, etc. It is found that the existing animal model of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency is not completely constructed by the method of disease syndrome combination of disease modeling factors and syndrome modeling factors. In the model using this method, the single establishment factor of heart and spleen deficiency does not conform to the clinical reality of disease, and the selection of the factors for the insomnia model is not closely related to or even separated from the syndrome performance. There is a problem of insufficient quantification of macro representation when the macro representation of the model replaces the symptoms related to heart and spleen deficiency syndrome and insomnia in an equivalent manner for macro representation evaluation, which can be improved according to the quantitative ideas and examples of the existing macro representation and macro representation evaluation scale. There are few specific indicators of heart and spleen deficiency syndrome in micro indicators. The micro research of heart and spleen deficiency syndrome and the essence of other traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes can be carried out by metabonomics and other technologies combined with the theory of corresponding prescription and syndrome, along the specific related ideas of "prescription and syndrome, treatment principle and selection of prescription, treatment principle and selection of acupoints, as well as therapeutic mechanism and syndrome essence". The future users and researchers of animal models of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency can get improved methods and ideas through the shortcomings of animal models of heart and spleen deficiency listed in this paper and construct animal models of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency that are more suitable for clinical practice, so as to establish a more perfect modeling method and evaluation system of disease syndrome-combined animal model.

ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanisms of a baicalin-geniposide combination against cerebral ischemia using a network pharmacology strategy.MethodWe used network pharmacology integrating drug-target-disease interactions to identify key pathways which were validated in a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion model treated with baicalin (55 mg/kg), geniposide (5 mg/kg), or their 11:1 combination. Therapeutic efficacy and mechanistic insights were evaluated using triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining, Evans blue assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Western blot.ResultsThe results revealed that the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway is inhibited in combination treatment of cerebral ischemia. Ten targets were identified as key nodes in the protein–protein interaction network: interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β, interleukin 18, C–C motif ligand 2, C–C motif ligand 4, interleukin 10, interferon-γ-inducible protein 10, C–C motif ligand 3, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1α. The baicalin-geniposide combination significantly reduced infarct volume, improved neurological deficits, and alleviated brain edema/blood–brain barrier leakage compared with monotherapy. Additionally, it significantly inhibited toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NF-κB signaling and downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 levels.ConclusionThe baicalin-geniposide combination alleviated cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by synergistically suppressing the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and its downstream inflammatory factors.

UNC-51-like kinase 1(ULK1)is an important factor involved in regulating the initiation of autophagy.ULK1 regu-lates inflammatory cytokines through autophagy and mitochondrial oxidative stress,and is involved in the pathological processes of var-ious diseases.ULK1 and its complexes are regulated by rapamycin(mTOR)and AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)to initiate au-tophagy,thereby exerting differential effects on a variety of inflammatory diseases.In inflammatory diseases,mitochondrial oxidative stress can induce ULK1 into the nucleus to accelerate apoptosis.Therefore,ULK1 plays different important roles in inflammatory dis-eases.For example,ULK1 initiates airway epithelial mitochondrial autophagy in asthma,participates in mitochondrial oxidative stress in acute liver failure,affects related inflammatory factors in atherosclerosis,and modulates beneficial effects of autophagy in diabetes.This article reviews the biological function of ULK1,its impact on inflammatory diseases and the research progress of targeted drugs.

Objective:To prepare a 177Lu labeled human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) affibody 177Lu-1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane-1, 4, 7-triacetic acid (NOTA)-maleimide (Mal)-cysteine (Cys)-ZHER 2: 342 ( 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 for short), and investigate its labeling process and anti-tumor properties. Methods:Two kinds of buffer systems (sodium acetate buffer system and sodium ascorbate buffer system) were investigated. The effects of pH value, precursor mass and reaction temperature on 177Lu labeling NOTA-MZHER2 were compared to obtain optimal labeling conditions. The radiochemical purity of labeled product was determined by instant thin-layer chromatography (ITLC), and its stabilities in PBS and plasma were observed. Human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV-3 was selected for cell internalization and cytotoxicity test to evaluate cell uptake and killing effect of 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2. SKOV-3 tumor-bearing mice( n=3) were injected with 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2, and microSPECT/CT imaging was performed. Another 40 tumor-bearing mice were divided into 22.2 MBq group (tail vein injection with probe of 22.2 MBq), control group (tail vein injection with PBS), low-dose group (tumor injection with probe of 3.7 MBq) and high-dose group (tumor injection with probe of 7.4 MBq). Tumor volume and mass of tumor-bearing mice were monitored after injection, and the anti-tumor effect and toxicity of probe were evaluated. Repeated measurement analysis of variance (Bonferroni method) was used to analyze the data. Results:The optimal labeling condition was 70-80 ℃ for 30 min in the system of sodium acetate buffer solution with pH=4 and precursor mass of 50 μg. Under these conditions, the labeling rate of 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 was (99.3±0.4)% and radiochemical purity was >99%. After 12 d in PBS and plasma, the radiochemical purities were (95.0±1.5)% and (95.0±2.1)%. Results of cell experiment showed that the internalization of 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 accounted for (29.02±3.50)% of the total uptake, and the survival rate of SKOV-3 cells was (48±6)% with the probe concerntration of 6×10 -3 Bq/L. SPECT imaging showed that 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 was still concentrated at the tumor site 96 h after injection with a dose of 18.5 MBq. Relative tumor volume (RTV) of tumor-bearing mice in 22.2 MBq group, high-dose group and low-dose group was significantly different from that in control group ( F=21.75, P<0.001). Twenty days after injection, RTV and relative body mass of the tumor-bearing mice in high-dose group were (140±7)% and (80±9)%, respectively. Compared with control group, high-dose group had obvious anti-tumor effect (both P<0.001). Conclusion:177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 is successfully prepared, which is simple and efficient, and the probe has good anti-tumor effect.

Objective:To radiolabel hyperbranched polymer (HG)-modified liquid metal nanodroplet (LMND)@HG with 177Lu, and explore the radiotherapy sensitization effect on anti-breast cancer therapy. Methods:The ultrasonication method was used to prepare LMND@HG, and then 177LuCl 3 was mixed with LMND@HG to label 177Lu by alloying reactions. The labeling rate, plasma stability and cytotoxicity of 177Lu-LMND@HG were detected. Xenograft mouse model of breast cancer was constructed, and the tumor inhibition test was performed by an intratumoral injection. The tumor progression was monitored by in vivo imaging system. The mechanism of tumor inhibition was verified by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence assays. One-way analysis of variance, repeated measures analysis of variance, and the least significant difference t test were used to analyze the data. Results:177Lu was successfully labeled to LMND@HG with a high labeling efficiency >95%. The product did not require further purification and the plasma radiochemical purity was still higher than 95% after 5 d. The cytotoxicity test showed that a dose of 888 kBq (40 mg/L) 177Lu-LMND@HG had obvious toxicity to 4T1 cells, which was significantly lower than 177LuCl 3 (cell viabilities: (16.48±7.81)% vs (85.77±8.87)%; F=77.81, t=11.73, P<0.001) and LMND@HG ((46.53±5.75)%; t=6.20, P<0.001). The biological distribution results showed that 177Lu-LMND@HG was mainly distributed in tumor tissue 5 d after intratumoral injection. The results of the tumor inhibition experiment showed that 1.48 MBq 177Lu-LMND@HG could significantly inhibit the tumor growth compared with the 177LuCl 3 (tumor volume: (222.66±97.70) vs (789.13±245.04) mm 3;F=18.55, t=4.29, P=0.005). In vivo optical imaging of small animals showed that 1.48 MBq and 3.70 MBq 177Lu-LMND@HG both significantly inhibited the tumor growth. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical results showed that 177Lu-LMND@HG caused double-stranded DNA break, and suppressed the tumor growth by inhibiting cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Conclusions:A novel 177Lu-liquid metal-based reactive oxygen species (ROS) radiation sensitizer is successfully prepared in this study. The preparation method is efficient and convenient, and the product has high stability. 177Lu-LMND@HG shows an obvious radiotherapy sensitization effect on breast tumor-bearing mice.

Objective:To explore the value of baseline PET/CT parameters for predicting prognosis in patients with double-expression lymphoma (DEL).Methods:The clinical and 18F-FDG PET/CT data of 118 patients (66 males, 52 females; age: 28-85 years) with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) diagnosed in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2015 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The optimal thresholds for SUV max, total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) in predicting overall survival (OS) rate were determined using ROC curve analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses, along with Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were performed to construct a survival prediction model. The effect of the model was evaluated by the calibration curve for the model, the time-dependent ROC curve analysis and decision curve analysis. Results:As of the last follow-up, 25 patients died, and the OS rate was 78.8%(93/118). The AUC of the ROC curve for TMTV was 0.705, with a corresponding optimal threshold of 230.9 cm 3. In multivariate analysis, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) score (hazard ratio ( HR)=3.886, 95% CI: 1.455-10.375; P=0.007) and TMTV ( HR=4.649, 95% CI: 1.665-12.979; P=0.003) were identified as independent predictors of OS. The combined model of ECOG PS score and TMTV was superior to ECOG PS score model and TMTV model alone in predicting OS. Conclusion:TMTV, a metabolic indicator, and ECOG PS score, a clinical risk factor, are independent predictors of OS in patients with DEL, and their combination can provide more accurate prognostic predictions.
