Based on the interleukin-17(IL-17) signaling pathway, this study explores the effect and mechanism of Bufei Decoction on Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia in rats. SD rats were randomly divided into the control group, model group, Bufei Decoction low-dose group(6.68 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), Bufei Decoction high-dose group(13.36 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), and dexamethasone group(1.04 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), with 10 rats in each group. A pneumonia model was established by tracheal drip injection of K. pneumoniae. After successful model establishment, the improvement in lung tissue damage was observed following drug administration. Core targets and signaling pathways were screened using transcriptomics techniques. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA expression of core targets interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), and chemokine CXC ligand 6(CXCL6). Western blot was used to assess key proteins in the IL-17 signaling pathway, including interleukin-17A(IL-17A), nuclear transcription factor-κB activator 1(Act1), tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6(TRAF6), and downstream phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p-p38 MAPK), and phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB p65(p-NF-κB p65). Apoptosis of lung tissue cells was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling(TUNEL). The results showed that, compared with the control group, the model group exhibited significant pathological damage in lung tissue. The mRNA expression of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and CXCL6, as well as the protein levels of IL-17A, Act1, TRAF6, p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK, and p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65, were significantly increased, and the number of apoptotic cells was notably higher, indicating successful model establishment. Compared with the model group, both low-and high-dose groups of Bufei Decoction showed reduced pathological damage in lung tissue. The mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and CXCL6, and the protein levels of IL-17A, Act1, TRAF6, p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK, and p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65, were significantly decreased, with a significant reduction in apoptotic cells in the high-dose group. In conclusion, Bufei Decoction can effectively improve lung tissue damage and reduce inflammation in rats with K. pneumoniae. The mechanism may involve the regulation of the IL-17 signaling pathway and the reduction of apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the predictive factors for the outcome of patients with complete recanalization after endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute basilar artery occlusion (ABAO).Methods:Patients with ABAO underwent EVT at Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital and Nanjing Pukou People's Hospital from January 2015 to December 2022 were included retrospectively. Complete recanalization was defined as a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) grade 3 after EVT. The main outcome measure was the clinical outcome evaluated by the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days after onset. 0-2 points were defined as good outcome and >2 points were defined as poor outcome. The secondary outcome measure was death within 90 days after onset. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent predictive factors for poor outcome and mortality. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of the independent predictive factors for poor outcome or mortality. Results:A total of 73 patients with completed recanalization after EVT for ABAO were enrolled, including 55 males (75.3%), aged 67.2±1.58 years, with the median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score 23, median baseline Basilar Artery on Computed Tomography Angiography (BATMAN) score 7, and median baseline posterior circulation Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (pc-ASPECTS) 8. After 90 days of onset, 34 patients (46.6%) had poor outcome and 16 (21.9%) died. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher baseline NIHSS score (odds ratio [ OR] 1.151, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.041-1.273; P=0.006), lower baseline pc-ASPECTS ( OR 0.096, 95% CI 0.024-0.386; P=0.001), lower baseline BATMAN score ( OR 0.394, 95% CI 0.162-0.961; P=0.041), and non-first-pass recanalization ( OR 5.011, 95% CI 1.675-23.343; P=0.016) were independently associated with the poor outcome. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve for predicting poor outcome by combining these independent predictive factors was 0.966 (95% CI 0.930-0.964). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that older age ( OR 1.147, 95% CI 1.010-1.303; P=0.035), higher baseline NIHSS score ( OR 1.236, 95% CI 1.040-1.470; P=0.016), lower baseline pc-ASPECTS ( OR 0.011, 95% CI 0.002-0.249; P=0.015), and lower baseline BATMAN score ( OR 0.050, 95% CI 0.004-0.618; P=0.020) were independently associated with mortality within 90 days after onset. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve for predicting mortality by combining these independent predictive factors was 0.948 (95% CI 0.899-0.997). Conclusion:For patients with ABAO who had complete recanalization after EVT, the baseline NIHSS score, baseline pc-ASPECTS, baseline BATMAN score, and non-first-pass recanalization are the independent predictive factors for poor outcome at 90 days after onset, while age, baseline NIHSS score, baseline pc-ASPECTS, and baseline BATMAN score are the independent predictive factors for mortality within 90 days after onset.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factors related to renal impairment in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) from the perspective of integrated Chinese and Western medicine. METHODS: Totally 492 patients with DKD in 8 Chinese hospitals from October 2017 to July 2019 were included. According to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) staging guidelines, patients were divided into a chronic kidney disease (CKD) 1-3 group and a CKD 4-5 group. Clinical data were collected, and logistic regression was used to analyze the factors related to different CKD stages in DKD patients. RESULTS: Demographically, male was a factor related to increased CKD staging in patients with DKD (OR=3.100, P=0.002). In clinical characteristics, course of diabetes >60 months (OR=3.562, P=0.010), anemia (OR=4.176, P<0.001), hyperuricemia (OR=3.352, P<0.001), massive albuminuria (OR=4.058, P=0.002), atherosclerosis (OR=2.153, P=0.007) and blood deficiency syndrome (OR=1.945, P=0.020) were factors related to increased CKD staging in patients with DKD. CONCLUSIONS Male, course of diabetes >60 months, anemia, hyperuricemia, massive proteinuria, atherosclerosis, and blood deficiency syndrome might indicate more severe degree of renal function damage in patients with DKD.

Objective: To summarize the clinical data and prognosis of children with Philadelphia chromosome-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-like ALL) common genes. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study.Clinical data of 56 children with Ph-like ALL common gene cases (Ph-like ALL positive group) treated from January 2017 to January 2022 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Henan Children's Hospital, Henan Cancer's Hospital and Henan Provincial People's Hospital were collected, 69 children with other high-risk B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) at the same time and the same age were selected as the negative group. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of two groups were analyzed retrospectively. Comparisons between groups were performed using Mann-Whitney U test and χ² test. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival curve, Log-Rank test was used for univariate analysis, and the Cox regression model was used for multivariate prognosis analysis. Results: Among 56 Ph-like ALL positive patients, there were 30 males and 26 females, and 15 cases were over 10 years old. There were 69 patients in Ph-like ALL negative group. Compared with the negative group, the children in positive group were older (6.4 (4.2, 11.2) vs. 4.7 (2.8, 8.4) years), and hyperleukocytosis (≥50×10⁹/L) was more common (25% (14/56) vs. 9% (6/69)), the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). In the Ph-like ALL positive group, 32 cases were positive for IK6 (1 case was co-expressed with IK6 and EBF1-PDGFRB), 24 cases were IK6-negative, of which 9 cases were CRLF2 positive (including 2 cases with P2RY8-CRLF2, 7 cases with CRLF2 high expression), 5 cases were PDGFRB rearrangement, 4 cases were ABL1 rearrangement, 4 cases were JAK2 rearrangement, 1 case was ABL2 rearrangement and 1 case was EPOR rearrangement. The follow-up time of Ph-like ALL positive group was 22 (12, 40) months, and 32 (20, 45) months for negative group. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate of positive group was significantly lower than the negative group ((72±7) % vs. (86±5) %, χ²=4.59, P<0.05). Compared with the 24 IK6-negative patients, the 3-year event free survival (EFS) rate of 32 IK6 positive patients was higher, the difference was statistically significant ((88±9) % vs. (65±14) %, χ²=5.37, P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the bone marrow minimal residual disease (MRD) not turning negative at the end of first induction (HR=4.12, 95%CI 1.13-15.03) independent prognostic risk factor for patient with Ph-like ALL common genes. Conclusions: Children with Ph-like ALL common genes were older than other high-risk B-ALL patients at diagnosis, with high white blood cells and lower survival rate. The bone marrow MRD not turning negative at the end of first induction were independent prognostic risk factor for children with Ph-like ALL common gene.
