Objective:To explore the effects of Jianpi Huaji Fuzheng Decoction supplemented with conventional chemotherapy on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes scores, cellular immunity and coagulation-fibrinolysis function in patients with primary hepatic carcinoma of spleen-deficiency syndrome.Methods:Prospective cohort study. A total of 85 patients with primary hepatic carcinoma of spleen-deficiency syndrome who met the inclusion criteria in the hospital between March 2018 and March 2021 were divided into 42 cases in control group and 43 cases in observation group according to the random number table method. The control group was given conventional western medicine chemotherapy, and the observation group was given Jianpi Huaji Fuzheng Decoction on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 3 months. Before and after treatment, the TCM syndromes were scored. The levels of CD4 + and CD8 + were detected by flow cytometry with indirect immunofluorescence, and the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + was calculated. The plasma prothrombin time (PT), fibrinogen (Fg) and coagulation factor Ⅶ (CFⅦ) were detected by automatic blood coagulation analyzer. The toxic and side effects of chemotherapy during treatment were recorded and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results:The total effective rate of syndrome efficacy was 95.35% (41/43) in observation group and 78.57% (33/42) in control group ( χ2=3.92, P=0.047). After treatment, the scores of flank pain, lumps, fatigue and jaundice and total score in observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=2.60, 2.64, 2.85, 2.91, 3.79, P<0.01). The level of CD4 + [(37.68±3.72)% vs. (35.92±3.61)%, t=2.21] and CD4 +/CD8 + [(1.44±0.22) vs. (1.31±0.23), t=2.66] in observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05), while the level of CD8 + [(26.20±2.72)% vs. (27.44±2.16)%, t=2.32] was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The levels of Fg [(3.11±0.85) g/L vs. (2.74±0.72) g/L, t=2.16] and CFⅦ [(1.76±0.44) mg/L vs. (1.58±0.37) mg/L, t=2.04] were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). PT [(14.65±2.72) s vs. (15.91±3.03) s, t=2.02] was significantly shorter than that of the control group ( P<0.05). During treatment, the incidence rate of toxic and side effects of chemotherapy was 11.63% (5/43) in observation group and that in control group was 30.95% (13/42) ( χ2=4.75, P=0.029). Conclusion:Jianpi Huaji Fuzheng Decoction supplemented with conventional chemotherapy can improve the clinical symptoms, promote the recovery of cellular immune function and coagulation-fibrinolysis function, reduce the incidence rates of toxic and side effects of chemotherapy, and enhance the clinical efficacy of patients with primary hepatic carcinoma.

Although the functions of metabolic enzymes and nuclear receptors in controlling physiological homeostasis have been established, their crosstalk in modulating metabolic disease has not been explored. Genetic ablation of the xenobiotic-metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2E1 in mice markedly induced adipose browning and increased energy expenditure to improve obesity. CYP2E1 deficiency activated the expression of hepatic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) target genes, including fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21, that upon release from the liver, enhanced adipose browning and energy expenditure to decrease obesity. Nineteen metabolites were increased in Cyp2e1-null mice as revealed by global untargeted metabolomics, among which four compounds, lysophosphatidylcholine and three polyunsaturated fatty acids were found to be directly metabolized by CYP2E1 and to serve as PPARα agonists, thus explaining how CYP2E1 deficiency causes hepatic PPARα activation through increasing cellular levels of endogenous PPARα agonists. Translationally, a CYP2E1 inhibitor was found to activate the PPARα-FGF21-beige adipose axis and decrease obesity in wild-type mice, but not in liver-specific Ppara-null mice. The present results establish a metabolic crosstalk between PPARα and CYP2E1 that supports the potential for a novel anti-obesity strategy of activating adipose tissue browning by targeting the CYP2E1 to modulate endogenous metabolites beyond its canonical role in xenobiotic-metabolism.

Objective:To evaluate the value of synthetic MRI combined with DWI in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions.Methods:The data of 184 consecutive patients with suspected breast lesions in Yunnan Cancer Hospital from July to September 2019 were prospectively analyzed. All patients were randomly assigned to training group ( n=110) and validation group ( n=74), and underwent conventional MRI and synthetic MRI respectively before and after contrast injection. At the maximum slice of the lesion, the ROI was drawn along the edge and recorded as "tumor". In the solid area with the most obvious tumor enhancement, the second ROI was drawn and recorded as "local". At the same time, ADC values (ADC local and ADC tumor) and relaxation time values (T local and T tumor) were measured. T and T + represented the relaxation time value of the ROI pre-and post-contrast scanning. ΔT% represented the relative change rate in T value between pre-and post-contrast scanning.The rank sum test was used to test the quantitative parameters of benign and malignant breast lesions in the training group and the validation group, and the variables with P<0.05 were included in the binary logistic regression analysis to screen the independent variables and establish the prediction model. The area under ROC curve was used to evaluate the discrimination of parameters and models. The clinical applicability of model was analyzed by decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:In the training group, univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in T 1tumor, T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2local, T 2+local, T 2tumor and T 2+tumor, ADC local, ADC tumor between benign and malignant breast lesions ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2tumor, ADC local, ADC tumor were independent variables in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The relaxation time model (model A: T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2tumor) and ADC model (model B: ADC local, ADC tumor) established by combining the above variables had the same diagnostic efficiency (AUC=0.905, 0.914, Z=-1.874, P=0.062), and the multi-parameter combination model (model C: T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2tumor, ADC local, ADC tumor) had the highest diagnostic efficiency (AUC=0.965). DCA analysis showed that when the threshold probability ranges between 21%-99% (training cohort) and 15%-99% (validation cohort), the net benefit of model C was better than model A and B. Conclusion:The multi-parameter combined prediction model established based on the relaxation time value and ADC can identify breast cancer efficiently and can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic tool.

Objective:Our previous micro-array study revealed that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), such as ENST00000538790 and NR_125790, were differently expressed in parathyroid carcinoma compared with those in parathyroid adenoma. Diagnostic value of lncRNAs (ENST00000538790 and NR_125790) and scoring models derived from these lncRNAs in parathyroid carcinoma were investigated in this study.Methods:Fifty-seven fresh tissue samples from patients with hyperparathyroidism were collected. Eleven patients were diagnosed with parathyroid carcinoma, while 46 patients were found with parathyroid adenoma. The expression levels of five lncRNAs (ENST00000511928, ENST00000538790, ENST00000618339, NR_125790, and ENST00000485384) were detected with realtime quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). LncRNA scores were calculated using these lncRNAs, and their value in parathyroid carcinoma diagnosis were also assessed.Results:It was found that expression levels of ENST00000511928 and ENST00000538790 were up-regulated in parathyroid carcinoma compared with parathyroid adenoma ( P<0.05), while the levels of ENST00000618339, NR_125790, and ENST00000485384 were decreased in parathyroid carcinoma ( P<0.05). Among these lncRNAs, ENST00000538790 and NR_125790 were independent risk factors for parathyroid carcinoma ( P<0.05). Hence, "log score" and "logistic score" were calculated with ENST00000538790 and NR_125790 levels. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for "log score" and "logistic score" were up to 0.935 and 0.943 respectively in parathyroid carcinoma ( P<0.05), and were found to be greater than those from single lncRNA or classic clinical indices, such as serum calcium ( P<0.05). Conclusion:LncRNA scores with lncRNA ENST00000538790 and NR_125790 may play potential role in diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma.

Objective To construct a CaME141G fusion protein-expressing plasmid,and to express,purify,and identify the activity of the recombinant protein. Methods The 141st site of the wild type CaM,E (GAG),was mutated to G (GGG),using site-specific mutagenesis technology. Escherichia coli BL-21 was transformed with the mutant plasmid. The GST-CaME141G fusion protein was mass-cultured and induced for expression. Subsequently,the GST-CaME141G fusion protein was purified using GS-4B beads. PreScission protease was applied to remove the GST,the Bradford method used to determine the concentration of purified protein,and SDS-PAGE used to detect its relative molecular weight and purity. The GST pull-down assay was used to study the protein's biological activity. Results The CaME141G protein was successfully purified at a high concentration and purity. The protein could interact with PreIQ protein fragments from the myocardial CaV1. 2 calcium channel C terminal,in a CaME141G concentration-dependent manner. Therefore,CaME141G has the ability to bind with the CaV1. 2 calcium channel. Conclusion This study successfully constructed a CaME141G fusion protein-expressing plasmid and purified the CaME141G protein. This lays a foundation for regulating the function of CaM mutations in the myocardial CaV1. 2 calcium channel,and for the study of its relationship with diseases of the cardiovascular system.
