OBJECTIVE To investigate of the regulatory effects of Budi Shenlian Recipe on gut microbiota and the phenotypic transition of tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs)in colorectal cancer(CRC)mice.METHODS Forty male BALB/c mice were divided into blank control group,model group,positive control group,high-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group,and low-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group(n=8).CRC-bearing models were established by subcutaneous injection of CT26 cells.Additionally,10 male BALB/c mice were divided into the Budi Shenlian Recipe fecal microbiota transplantation(BFMT)group and model fecal microbiota transplantation(MFMT)group(n=5).The gut microbiota of these mice was cleared using a mixed solution of quadruple antibiotics,followed by subcutaneous injection of CT26 cells to construct pseudo-germ-free CRC-bearing mice.Fecal samples from the model group and high-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group were collected to prepare fecal microbiota solutions.The BFMT group received gavage with fecal microbiota solution from the high-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group,while the MFMT group received gavage with fecal micro-biota solution from the model group.Tumor volume changes were observed and recorded.HE staining was used to assess pathological changes in tumor tissues.16S sequencing was performed to analyze changes in gut microbiota.Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining were used to evaluate the proportion of M1/M2 type TAMs in tumor tissues.ELISA was used to detect differences in TNF-α and IL-10 levels in tumor tissues.RESULTS Compared to the model group,the tumor volume of mice in the positive control group,high-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group,and low-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group grew more slowly(P<0.01).HE staining showed necrotic areas in tumor tissues and reduced mitotic figures in the positive control and Budi Shenlian Recipe groups compared to the model group.16S rRNA sequencing showed no significant differences in Chao1 and ACE indices between the high-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group and the model group.PCoA analysis indicated a distinct microbial community structure between the blank group and mod-el group,with the microbial structure of CRC mice in the Budi Shenlian Recipe group closer to that of the blank group.Compared to the blank group,the model group showed a significant decrease in the proportion of Muribaculaceae,Muribaculum,Alloprevotella,and Prevotellaceae_UCG-001,and a significant increase in Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group,Bacteroides,and Helicobacter.After admin-istering Budi Shenlian Recipe to CRC mice,the community structure of some mice partially reverted to the level of the blank group.Transcriptome sequencing revealed that the most significant biological process(BP)among upregulated genes was the negative regulation of macrophage migration,suggesting that Budi Shenlian Recipe can reduce macrophage migration.Moreover,compared to the model group,the proportion of TAMs cells in the tumor tissues of the Budi Shenlian Recipe group significantly decreased(P<0.001).Simultaneously,compared to the model group,the proportion of M1 type TAMs in the Budi Shenlian Recipe group significant-ly increased(P<0.000 1),while the proportion of M2 type TAMs significantly decreased(P<0.05).Immunofluorescence analysis showed the same trend as flow cytometry.The content of TNF-α in tumor tissues of the Budi Shenlian Recipe group significantly in-creased(P<0.001),and IL-10 content significantly decreased(P<0.001).Additionally,compared to the MFMT group,the tumor volume in the BFMT group grew more slowly(P<0.0001).HE staining showed increased necrotic areas,sparser cell arrangement,and reduced pathological mitosis in the BFMT group.Furthermore,compared to the MFMT group,the proportion of TAMs cells in the tumor tissues of the BFMT group significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared to the MFMT group,the proportion of M1 type TAMs cells in the BFMT group increased(P<0.000 1),while the proportion of M2 type TAMs cells decreased(P<0.01).Immunofluores-cence analysis further confirmed that Budi Shenlian Recipe fecal microbiota transplantation can reduce the proportion of TAMs in the tumor tissues of CRC mice and promote the conversion from M2 to M1 type,thereby reducing immune suppression in the tumor micro-environment.CONCLUSION Budi Shenlian Recipe can improve gut microbiota dysbiosis in CRC mice and exert anti-CRC effects by reducing tumor infiltration of TAMs and modulating the phenotypic transition of TAMs.There may be a certain correlation between these two effects.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of preoperative coagulation function and inflammation response biomarkers for postoperative recurrence of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients.Methods:The clinical data of 390 NMIBC patients underwent surgical treatment from May 2014 to May 2021 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University were retrospectively analyzed. The baseline characteristics coagulation function, inflammation response indexes and tumor characteristics were recorded. The baseline characteristics included gender, age and smoking history; the coagulation function included prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB) and D-dimer; the inflammation response indexes included neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, platelet count and monocyte count, and the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were calculated; tumor characteristics included TNM stage, pathological grade, tumor length, tumor amount and postoperative instillation drugs. The patients were followed up until May 2022, with recurrence records and grouping. The "pROC" package was used to draw the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and calculate the optimal cutoff values of biomarkers. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors of recurrence in patients with NMIBC (variables were selected with P<0.1). The nomogram and its calibration curve were drawn by the "survival" and "rms" packages, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated with the "pROC" package for assessing the predictive ability of the model. The "caret" package was used for ten-fold cross-validation to evaluate the external applicability of the nomogram. Results:The ROC curve analysis result showed that the optimal cutoff values of PT, APTT, FIB, D-dimer, SIRI and SII were 11.95 s, 17.65 s, 0.233 mg/L, 565 ng/L, 0.62 and 291.5, respectively. The 390 patients with NMIBC were followed up 29 to 71 months, with a median follow-up time of 49 months. Among them, 113 patients experienced postoperative recurrence (recurrence group), and the recurrence rate was 29.0%; while 277 patients did not experience recurrence (non-recurrence group). The rate of FIB≥0.233 mg/L, D-dimmer ≥565 ng/L, SIRI≥0.62 and SII≥291.5, T 1 stage, high-grade tumor, tumor length ≥2.3 cm and multiple tumor in recurrence group were significantly higher than those in non-recurrence group: 90.3% (102/113) vs. 71.5% (198/277), 33.6% (38/113) vs. 23.5% (65/277), 74.3% (84/113) vs. 56.7% (157/277), 84.1% (95/113) vs. 60.6% (168/277), 77.9% (88/113) vs. 38.6% (107/277), 25.7% (29/113) vs. 8.3% (23/277), 49.6% (56/113) vs. 32.1% (89/277) and 41.6% (47/113) vs. 19.9% (55/277), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05); there were no statistical differences in gender ratio, age, smoking history, PT, APTT and postoperative instillation drugs between the two groups ( P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis result showed that FIB≥0.233 mg/L, SII≥291.5, T 1 stage, high pathological grade, tumor length≥2.3 cm and multiple tumor were independent risk factors of postoperative recurrence in patients with NMIBC ( HR = 2.186, 1.627, 3.182, 1.675, 1.775 and 2.052; 95% CI 1.149 to 4.159, 0.913 to 2.902, 1.988 to 5.095, 1.067 to 2.630, 1.208 to 2.608 and 1.388 to 3.033; P<0.1). A nomogram model was constructed to predict postoperative 1-, 3- and 5-year non-recurrence based on FIB, SII, T stage, tumor length, pathological grade and tumor amount. The calibration curve analysis result showed that the nomogram model predicted good consistency between the postoperative 1-, 3-, 5-year non-recurrence rates and the actual incidence rate in patients with NMIBC. ROC curve analysis result showed that the AUC of the nomogram model for predicting postoperative 1-, 3- and 5-year non-recurrence in patients with NMIBC were 0.746, 0.789 and 0.835 (95% CI 0.695 to 0.832, 0.703 to 0.875 and 0.756 to 0.915). The ten-fold cross-validation result showed that the nomogram model had good external applicability for predicting postoperative 1-, 3- and 5-year non-recurrence in patients with NMIBC, with AUC of 0.754, 0.781 and 0.832 (95% CI 0.689 to 0.817, 0.724 to 0.832 and 0.778 to 0.879). Conclusions:The nomogram model based on FIB, SII, T stage, tumor length, pathological grade and tumor amount can accurately predict the postoperative 1-, 3- and 5-year recurrence risks in patients with NMIBC. The model helps clinical doctors early identify high-risk recurrent NMIBC patients, and provides reference for the development of individualized treatment plans.

Objective:To investigate the effect of blood lipids and statins use on the outcome of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with cerebral microbleeds (CMBs).Methods:Consecutive AIS patients with CMBs hospitalized at the First People's Hospital of Taicang, Jiangsu Province from July 2023 to June 2024 were included retrospectively. At 3 months after onset, the modified Rankin Scale was used for outcome assessment. 0-2 was defined as good outcome and >2 was defined as poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent influencing factors for poor outcome. Results:A total of 110 AIS patients with CMBs were enrolled, including 72 males (65.5%), aged 68.04±3.12 years. Thirty patients (27.3%) had poor outcome. Univariate analysis showed that age, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the proportion of patients with hypertension and diabetes in poor outcome group were significantly higher than those in good outcome group, while baseline high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and the proportion of patients using statins before onset were significantly lower than those in good outcome group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [ OR] 1.309, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.007-1.702; P=0.044), the baseline NIHSS score ( OR 1.541, 95% CI 1.143-2.078; P=0.005) and high triglycerides ( OR 5.150, 95% CI 2.150-8.717; P=0.023) were the independent risk factors for poor outcome, while high high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( OR 0.001, 95% CI 0.001-0.034; P<0.001) and statins use ( OR 0.231, 95% CI 0.046-0.558; P=0.019) were the independent protective factors for good outcome. Conclusions:Blood lipid and statins use are independent influencing factors for the outcome of AIS patients with CMBs. The use of statins before onset is associated with a lower risk of poor outcome in AIS patients with CMBs.
