Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of plan-do-check-Act(PDCA)cycle management model combined with pulsed tooth punch applied in maintenance period of the patients with moderate to severe periodontitis,and to provide the theoretical basis for application of the PDCA cycle management model in the periodontitis patients.Methods:A total of 50 patients with moderate to severe periodontitis were selected based on predefined inclusion,exclusion,and elimination criteria.The patients were randomly divided into experiment group(n=25)and control group(n=25).The patients in experiment group underwent maintenance care with pulsed tooth punch in combination with the BASS brushing technique,while the patients in control group maintained oral hygiene with the BASS brushing technique alone.The patients in both two groups were managed with the PDCA cycle management model.The patients were asked to return for follow-up visits at 2,4,8,and 12 weeks of self-care,and the personalized corrections and guidance were provided based on the plaque accumulation.The clinical periodontal parameters,including plaque index(PLI),probing depth(PD),and bleeding index(BI),at 4 and 12 weeks of self-care,as well as the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-17(IL-17)in the gingival crevicular fluid of the patients in two groups were observed and recorded.Results:After 4 and 12 weeks of self-care,compared with control group,the PLI,PD,and BI of the patients in experiment group were significantly decreased(P<0.01);compared with baseline,the PLI,PD,and BI of the patients in both two groups at 4 and 12 weeks of self-care were increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01);Compared with 4 weeks of self-care,the PLI,PD,and BI of the patients at 12 weeks of self-care were increased(P<0.01).After 4 and 12 weeks of self-care,compared with control group,the levels of TNF-α and IL-17 in gingival crevicular fluid of the patients in experiment group were significantly decreased(P<0.01);compared with baseline,the levels of TNF-α and IL-17 in gingival crevicular fluid of the patients in two groups at 4 and 12 weeks of self-care were increased(P<0.01).Conclusion:The use of pulsed tooth punch under the PDCA cycle management model can significantly decrease the PLI,PD,BI,and the levels of inflammatory factors in gingival crevicular fluid of the patients with moderate to severe periodontitis,and inhibit the plaque formation and control the gingival inflammation,benefite the maintenance of efficacy of the patients with moderate to severe periodontitis.

ObjectiveTo develop traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） formulae for the treatment of nonsevere coronavirus disease 2019 （COVID-19） and to explore its anti-inflammatory mechanism. MethodsThe dysregulated signaling pathways were determined in macrophages from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of COVID-19 patients and in lung epithelial cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 in vitro based on transcriptome analysis. A total of 102 TCM formulae for the clinical treatment of nonsevere COVID-19 were collected through literature. The pathway-reversing rates of these formulae in macrophages and lung epithelial cells were evaluated based on signature signaling pathways， and the basic formula was determined in conjunction with TCM theory. The commonly used Chinese materia medica for nonsevere COVID-19 were summarized from the 102 TCM formulae as abovementioned. And together with the screening results from the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China， a “Chinese materia medica pool” was esta-blished for the development of TCM formulae for COVID-19. The regulatory effects of each herb on signaling pathways were obtained based on targeted transcriptome analysis. Oriented at reversing dysregulated signaling pathways of COVID-19， the calculation was carried out， and the artificial intelligent methods for compositing formulae， that are exhaustive method and parallel computing， were used to obtain candidate compound formulas. Finally， with reference to professional experience， an innovative formula for the treatment of nonsevere COVID-19 was developed. The ethanol extract of the formula was evaluated for its anti-inflammatory effects by detecting the mRNA expression of interleukin 1b （Il1b）， C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2 （Cxcl2）， C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 （Cxcl10）， C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 （Ccl2）， nitric oxide synthase 2 （Nos2）， and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 （Ptgs2） using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction （RT-qPCR） in RAW264.7 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide （LPS）. ResultsIn macrophages and lung epithelial cells， 34 dysregulated signaling pathways associated with COVID-19 were identified respectively. The effects of the 102 formulae for clinical treatment of nonsevere COVID-19 were evaluated based on the dysregulated signaling pathways and targeted transcriptome， and the result showed that Yinqiao Powder and Pingwei Powder （银翘散合平胃散， YQPWP） ranked first， reversing 91.18% of the dysregulated signaling pathways in macrophages and 100% of the dysregulated signaling pathways in lung epithelial cells. Additionally， YQPWP had the function of scattering wind and clearing heat， resolving toxins and removing dampness in accordance with the pathogenesis of wind-heat with dampness in COVID-19. It was selected as the basic formula， and was further modified and optimized to develop an innovative fomula Qiaobang Zhupi Yin （翘蒡术皮饮， QBZPY） based on expert experience and artificial intelligence in composing formulae. QBZPY can reverse all the dysregulated signaling pathways associated with COVID-19 in macrophages and lung epithelial cells， with the reversing rates of 100%. The chief medicinal of QBZPY， including Lianqiao （Fructus Forsythiae）， Xixiancao （Herba Siegesbeckiae） and Niubangzi （Fructus Arctii）， can down-regulate multiple signaling pathways related with virus infection， immune response， and epithelial damage. RT-qPCR results indicated that compared with the model group， the QBZPY group down-regulated the mRNA expression of Il1b， tumor necrosis factor （Tnf）， Cxcl2， Cxcl10， Ccl2， Nos2 and Ptgs2 induced by LPS in RAW264.7 cells （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. ConclusionBased on targeted transcriptome analysis， expert experience in TCM and artificial intelligence， QBZPY has been developed for the treatment of nonsevere COVID-19. The ethanol extract of QBZPY has been found to inhibit mRNA expression of several pro-inflammatory genes in a cellular inflammation model.

Objective To explore the therapeutic mechanism of compound Yuye Decoction against diabetic cardiomyopathy(DCM).Methods Drugbank,Gene Cards,OMIM and PharmGKb databases were used to obtain DCM-related targets,and the core targets were identified and functionally annotated by protein-protein interaction network analysis followed by GO and KEGG enrichment analysis.The"Traditional Chinese Medicine-Key Component-Key Target-Key Pathway"network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.1,and molecular docking was carried out for the key components and the core targets.In the animal experiment,Wistar rat models of DCM were treated with normal saline or Yuye Decoction by gavage at low(0.29 g/kg)and high(1.15 g/kg)doses for 8 weeks,and the changes in cardiac electrophysiology and histopathology were evaluated.The changes in serum levels of LDH,CK,and CK-MB were examined,and myocardial expressions of PI3K,P-PI3K,Akt,P-AKT,BAX,IL-6,and TNF-α were detected using Western blotting.Results We identified 61 active compounds in Yuye Decoction with 1057 targets,3682 DCM-related disease targets,and 551 common targets between them.Enrichment of the core targets suggested that apoptosis,inflammation and the PI3K/Akt pathways were the key signaling pathways for DCM treatment.Molecular docking studies showed that the active components in Yuye Decoction including gold amidohydroxyethyl ester and kaempferol had strong binding activities with AKT1 and PIK3R1.In DCM rat models,treatment with Yuye Decoction significantly alleviated myocardial pathologies,reduced serum levels of LDH,CK and CK-MB,lowered myocardial expressions of BAX,IL-6 and TNF-α,and increased the expressions of P-PI3K and P-AKT.Conclusion The therapeutic effect of compound Yuye Decoction against DCM is mediated by its multiple active components that act on multiple targets and pathways to inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis and inflammatory response by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

The potential medicinal value of Ma bamboo (Dendrocalamus latiflorus), one of the most popular and economically important bamboo species in China, has been underestimated. In the present study, we found that D. latiflorus leaf extract (DLE) reduced fasting blood glucose levels, body weight, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol with low liver toxicity in db/db mice. In addition, gene expression profiling was performed and pathway enrichment analysis showed that DLE affected metabolic pathways. Importantly, DLE activated the AKT signaling pathway and reduced glucose production by downregulating glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PC) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) expression. Moreover, network pharmacology analysis identified rutin as an active component in DLE through targeting insulin growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), an upstream signaling transducer of AKT. Due to its hypoglycemic effects and low toxicity, DLE may be considered an adjuvant treatment option for type 2 diabetes patients.

OBJECTIVE：To investigate the clini cal features of thrombocytopenia induced by antidepressants ，and to provide reference for the rational use of clinical drugs. METHODS ：Retrieved from CNKI ，Wanfang database ，VIP，PubMed and Web of Science，during Jan. 1st in 1985 to Aug. 31st in 2020，case reports about antidepressants-induced thrombocytopenia was collected and analyzed descriptively in terms of demographic characteristics ，medication，clinical manifestations ，treatment and outcome. RESULTS：A total of 17 literatures were retrieved ，and 19 patients were included ，involving 10 male and 9 female，aged from 5 to 95 years old ，with an average of （48±24）years old. Nine kinds of drugs were involved ，including 4 cases of escitalopram ，3 cases of citalopram ，3 cases of fluoxetine ，3 cases of mirtazapine ，2 cases of amitriptyline ，1 case of sertraline ，1 case of paroxetine，1 case of mianserin and 1 case of imipramine. There were 9 cases of single drug and 10 cases of drug combination. All 19 patients suffered from thrombocytopenia at 3 d-10 years after medication ，14 of them had hemorrhage tendency. Main clinical manifestations included mucocutaneous hemorrhage ，gingival bleeding ，black stool ，hematochezia，vaginal bleeding ，ocular hemorrhage，alveolar hemorrhage. No bleeding was found in 5 cases. After drug withdrawal/changing drugs and other symptomatic treatment， platelet count of 19 patients recovered to normal ， and bleeding symptoms disappeared. CONCLUSIONS ： Thrombocytopenia caused by antidepressants has no obvious clinical features and is not easy to be found ，but it may lead to severe； bleeding symptoms if it is not found in time. The changes of platelet count should be closely monitored in clinical application of such drugs to ensure the safety of drug use.

Objective:To explore the immunogenicity and persistence of hepatitis B vaccine in HIV-infected patients with different CD4 +T cell (CD4) levels, and analyze the influence effect of CD4 levels on immunization response. Methods:A total of 182 HIV-infected patients who participated in a randomized controlled trial of 20 μg and 60 μg hepatitis B vaccination at month 0, 1, and 6 in 2014 by Guangxi Zhuang Atonomous Region CDC and Ningming county CDC were surveyed. Six months later after the first dose and 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years later after the full course of the vaccination, 5 ml of the venous blood of the patients was collected, and the anti-HBs was detected by Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA). On the basis of previous studies, this study focused on analyzing the immunogenicity and persistence of hepatitis B vaccine under different CD4 levels.Results:One month later after the whole course of hepatitis B vaccination, the anti-HBs geometric mean concentration (GMC), anti-HBs positive rate (≥10 mIU/ml) and strong positive rate (≥100 mIU/ml) in HIV patients with CD4 <350 cells/μl were 442.50 mIU/ml, 71.05% (27/38) and 44.74% (17/38), respectively, which were significantly lower than those HIV-infected patients with CD4 ≥350 cells/μl [583.90 mIU/ml, 92.13% (117/127) and 77.95% (99/127)] ( P<0.05). After controlling the confounding factors, the probability of being anti-HBs positive induced by hepatitis B vaccine in patients with CD4 <350 cells/μl was 0.14 times higher than in those with CD4≥350 cells/μl (95% CI: 0.03-0.62), and patients with CD4 <350 cells/μl had higher risk of no response. From 6 months to 3 years after the whole course of the vaccination, the anti-HBs GMC (195.00-27.55 mIU/ml vs. 300.10-45.81 mIU/ml), the positive rate (56.67%-36.67% vs. 78.57%- 51.58%) and the strong positive rate (33.33%-6.67% vs.44.64%-15.79%) in patients with CD4 <350 cells/μl gradually declined, lower than the levels in those with CD4 ≥350 cells/μl. Conclusions:HIV-infected patients with CD4 <350 cells/μl have high risk of no response to hepatitis B vaccination and poor immune persistence. It is necessary to strengthen the anti-HBs monitoring in HIV-infected patients, with special attention to those with CD4 <350 cells/μl. When anti-HBs is negative, hepatitis B vaccine should be injected as early as possible.

Objective:To summarize the evaluation and management of early enteral nutrition tolerance in a patient with refractory status epilepticus after ketogenic diet.Methods:Nursing essentials were as follows: Individualized enteral nutrition tolerance assessment was given every 4 hours after ketogenic diet, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, diarrhea, gastric retention and upper gastrointestinal bleeding; when patients suffered from intolerance to ketogenic diet, nasointestinal tube was retained to upper jejunum, ketogenic diet was diluted, dietary fiber and trypsin were increased. Intake of preparations and probiotics could reduce the incidence of diarrhea and gastric retention. Blood sugar and ketone levels were monitored every 4 hours to evaluate the therapeutic effect of ketogenic diet by Engel grading. Early active mobility was carried out to reduce the mechanical ventilation time and improve limb muscle strength.Results:After careful treatment and nursing, ketogenic diet progressed smoothly and gastrointestinal intolerance improved significantly. On the 30th day of admission, Engel was grade I. The patient was stable with no functional epileptic attack. On the 66th day after admission, the patient was successfully taken off line and transferred to the general treatment area. During the period of hospitalization, there was no nursing related complications such as pressure ulcer, and the patient recovered and discharged.Conclusion:Individualized assessment and management of enteral nutrition tolerance can effectively reduce the related complications and improve the prognosis of patients with refractory status epilepticus who take ketogenic diet.
