Gegen Qinlian Decoction(GQD) is a classic prescription for the clinical treatment of ulcerative colitis(UC). This study, based on the differences in efficacy observed in UC mice under different level of bile acids treated with GQD, aims to clarify the impact of bile acids on UC and its therapeutic effects. It further investigates the expression of bile acid receptors in the liver of UC mice, and preliminarily reveals the mechanism through which GQD affects bile acid synthesis in the treatment of UC. A UC mouse model was established using dextran sulfate sodium(DSS) induction. The efficacy of GQD was evaluated by assessing the general condition, disease activity index(DAI) score, colon length, and histopathological changes in colon tissue via hematoxylin and eosin(HE) staining. ELISA and Western blot were used to evaluate the inflammatory response in colon tissue. The total bile acid(TBA) level and liver damage were quantified using an automatic biochemistry analyzer. The expression levels of bile acid receptors and bile acid synthetases in liver tissue were detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR. The results showed that compared with the model group, GQD treatment significantly improved the DAI score, colon shortening, and histopathological damage in UC mice. The levels of pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 in the colon were significantly reduced. Serum TBA levels were significantly decreased, while alkaline phosphatase(ALP) levels significantly increased. After administration of cholic acid(CA), UC symptoms in the CA + GQD group were significantly aggravated compared with the GQD group. The DAI score, degree of weight loss, colon injury, serum TBA, and liver injury markers all increased significantly. However, compared with the CA group, the CA + GQD group showed a marked reduction in TBA levels and a significant improvement in UC-related symptoms, indicating that GQD can alleviate UC damage exacerbated by CA. Further investigation into the expression of bile acid receptors and synthetases in the liver showed that under GQD treatment, the expression of farnesoid X receptor(FXR) and small heterodimer partner(SHP) significantly increased, while the expression of G protein-coupled receptor 5(TGR5) and cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase(Cyp7A1) significantly decreased. These findings suggest that GQD may affect bile acid receptors and synthetases, inhibiting bile acid synthesis through the FXR/SHP pathway to treat UC.

The AP2/ERF transcription factor family is a class of transcription factors widely present in plants, playing a crucial role in regulating flowering, flower development, flower opening, and flower senescence. Based on transcriptome data from flower, leaf, and stem samples of two Lonicera macranthoides varieties, 117 L. macranthoides AP2/ERF family members were identified, including 14 AP2 subfamily members, 61 ERF subfamily members, 40 DREB subfamily members, and 2 RAV subfamily members. Bioinformatics and differential gene expression analyses were performed using NCBI, ExPASy, SOMPA, and other platforms, and the expression patterns of L. macranthoides AP2/ERF transcription factors were validated via qRT-PCR. The results indicated that the 117 LmAP2/ERF members exhibited both similarities and variations in protein physicochemical properties, AP2 domains, family evolution, and protein functions. Differential gene expression analysis revealed that AP2/ERF transcription factors were primarily differentially expressed in the flowers of the two L. macranthoides varieties, with the differentially expressed genes mainly belonging to the ERF and DREB subfamilies. Further analysis identified three AP2 subfamily genes and two ERF subfamily genes as potential regulators of flower development, two ERF subfamily genes involved in flower opening, and two ERF subfamily genes along with one DREB subfamily gene involved in flower senescence. Based on family evolution and expression analyses, it is speculated that AP2/ERF transcription factors can regulate flower development, opening, and senescence in L. macranthoides, with ERF subfamily genes potentially serving as key regulators of flowering duration. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for further research into the specific functions of the AP2/ERF transcription factor family in L. macranthoides and offer important theoretical insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying floral phenotypic differences among its varieties.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the safety and efficacy of avatrombopag（AVA） combined with rhIL-11 in treating thrombocytopenia induced by chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia. METHODS: The clinical information of 8 patients in the real world who received avatrombopag combined with rhIL-11 in cancer treatment-induced thrombocytopenia(CTIT) after AML chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed, and at the same time, 8 patients who received rhIL-11 only in CTIT after AML chemotherapy served as the control group, A preliminary observation was to summarize and compare the therapeutic efficacy and adverse effects between the two groups. RESULTS: D3 and D7 platelet counts were not significantly different between the observation group and the control group after treatment. The platelet counts in the observation group was significantly higher than those of the control group on the 10th day after treatment (P < 0.01). The adverse reactions, such as weakness, abdominal pain, fatigue, nausea and edema after treatment were mild in the observation group and the control group. Except for one patient in the observation group who had a history of cerebral infarction before the onset of the disease and was routinely taking antiplatelet drugs, no thrombosis events occurred in the patients in the observation and control groups during the period of administration of the drug, and the total incidence rate of adverse reactions was not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION The combination of AVA and rhIL-11 can enhance platelet recovery in CTIT of AML patients after chemotherapy. Compared with the rhIL-11 alone group, the platelet recovery time in AVA+rhIL-11 group was significantly shorter, the platelet count on the 10th day after drug administration was significantly higher. No statistically significant difference in the total incidence rate of adverse reactions was observed between rhIL-11 alone group and AVA+rhIL-11 group.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate possible associations between physical function assessment scales, such as Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS), with all-cause mortality in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients. METHODS: A total of 108 ADHF patients were analyzed from October 2020 to October 2022, and followed up to May 2023. The association between baseline clinical characteristics and all-cause mortality was analyzed by univariate Cox regression analysis, while for SPPB and BBS, univariate Cox regression analysis was followed by receiver operating characteristic curves, in which the area under the curve represented their predictive accuracy for all-cause mortality. Incremental predictive values for both physical function assessments were measured by calculating net reclassification index and integrated discrimination improvement scores. Optimal cut-off value for BBS was then identified using restricted cubic spline plots, and survival differences below and above that cut-off were compared using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the log-rank test. The clinical utility of BBS was measured using decision curve analysis. RESULTS: For baseline characteristics, age, female, blood urea nitrogen, as well as statins, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, or angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, were predictive for all-cause mortality for ADHF patients. With respect to SPPB and BBS, higher scores were associated with lower all-cause mortality rates for both assessments; similar area under the curves were measured for both (0.774 for SPPB and 0.776 for BBS). Furthermore, BBS ≤ 36.5 was associated with significantly higher mortality, which was still applicable even adjusting for confounding factors; BBS was also found to have great clinical utility under decision curve analysis. CONCLUSIONS BBS or SPPB could be used as tools to assess physical function in ageing ADHF patients, as well as prognosticate on all-cause mortality. Moreover, prioritizing the improvement of balance capabilities of ADHF patients in cardiac rehabilitation regimens could aid in lowering mortality risk.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the preventive and therapeutic effects of Dahuang Zhechong Pill (DZP) on pulmonary fibrosis and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: The first key rate-limiting enzyme hexokinase 2 (HK2) of glycolysis was silenced and over-expressed through small interfering RNA and lentivirus using lung fibroblast MRC-5 cell line, respectively. The cell viability, migration, invasion and proliferation were detected by cell counting kit-8, wound healing assay, transwell assay, and flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein expression levels of HK2 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The contents of glucose, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and lactate in MRC-5 cells were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay (ELISA). Then, the relationship between miR-29b-2-5p and HK2 was explored by luciferase reporter gene assay. Pulmonary fibrosis cell model was induced by transforming growth factor-β 1 (TGF-β 1) in MRC-5 cells, and the medicated serum of DZP (DMS) was prepared in rats. MRC-5 cells were divided into control, TGF-β 1, TGF-β 1+10% DMS, TGF-β 1+10% DMS+miR-29b-2-5p inhibitor, TGF-β 1+10% DMS+inhibitor negative control, TGF-β 1+10% DMS+miR-29b-2-5p mimic and TGF-β 1+10% DMS+mimic negative control groups. After miR-29b-2-5p mimics and inhibitors were transfected into MRC-5 cells, all groups except control and model group were treated with DMS. The effect of DMS on MRC-5 cells were detected using aforementioned methods and immunofluorescence. Similarly, the contents of glucose, ATP and lactate in each group were measured by ELISA. RESULTS: The mRNA and protein expressions of HK2 in MRC-5 cells were successfully silenced and overexpressed through si-HK2-3 and lentiviral transfection, respectively. After silencing HK2, the mRNA and protein expressions of HK2 were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the concentrations of glucose, ATP and lactate were also significantly decreased (P<0.05). The proliferation, migration and invasion of MRC-5 cells were significantly declined (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while the apoptosis of MRC-5 cells was significantly increased (P<0.01). After overexpressing HK2, the mRNA and protein expressions of HK2 were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the concentrations of glucose, ATP and lactate were also significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The proliferation, migration and invasion of MRC-5 cells were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while the apoptosis of MRC-5 cells was significantly decreased (P<0.05). The relative luciferase activity of 3'UTR-WT+hsa-miR-29b-2-5p transfected with HK2 was significantly decreased (P<0.01). After miR-29b-2-5p mimic and inhibitor were transfected into the MRC-5 cells, DMS intervention could significantly reduce the concentration of glucose, ATP and lactate, and the mRNA and proteins expressions of HK2, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase isoform M2 (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The proliferation, migration and invasion of MRC-5 cells were alleviated (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the deposition of fibronectin, α-smooth muscle actin, and collagen I were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Glycolysis is closely related to pulmonary fibrosis. DZP reduced glycolysis and inhibited fibroblasts' excessive differentiation and abnormal collagen deposition through the miR-29b-2-5p/HK2 pathway, which played a role in delaying the process of pulmonary fibrosis.

OBJECTIVES: Urinary calculi are characterized by a high recurrence rate, and patients' adherence to self-management after discharge directly affects health outcomes. Traditional offline follow-up models often face problems such as poor compliance and uneven allocation of medical resources, making it difficult to meet individualized health management needs. Remote follow-up provides a novel solution to optimize long-term management, improve health literacy, and enhance clinical outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the effect of remote follow-up under an intelligent medical collaborative model on quality of life and health-promoting lifestyle in patients with urinary calculi, and to assess its short-term impact on clinical outcomes. METHODS: A total of 118 patients with urinary calculi admitted to a tertiary hospital in Hunan Province between August and November 2024 were recruited and randomly assigned to a control group (n=59) or an intervention group (n=59). The control group received routine departmental follow-up, while the intervention group underwent remote follow-up based on an intelligent medical collaborative model for one month. Assessments were conducted before discharge (T0), 15 days after discharge (T1), and one month after discharge (T2), using the Wisconsin Stone Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile. At T2, the incidence of forgotten ureteral stents (FUS), ureteral stent-related complications, unplanned readmissions, and patient satisfaction were evaluated. RESULTS: No significant differences were observed between groups at T0 in baseline characteristics or outcome measures (all P>0.05). At T1 and T2, the intervention group had significantly higher health-related quality of life scores than the control group (P<0.05). Generalized estimating equation (GEE) analysis showed significant between-group effects (Wald's χ²=22.961, P<0.001), time effects (Wald's χ²=23.065, P<0.001), and interaction effects (Wald's χ²=6.930, P<0.05). Similarly, at T1 and T2, the intervention group scored significantly higher on health-promoting lifestyle than the control group (P<0.05), with significant between-group effects (Wald's χ²=22.936, P<0.001), time effects (Wald's χ²=10.694, P<0.001), and interaction effects (Wald's χ²=18.921, P<0.05). No significant differences were found between groups in the incidence of FUS, ureteral stent-related complications, or unplanned readmissions (all P>0.05). Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the intervention group (t=4.089, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Remote follow-up under an intelligent medical collaborative model helps improve quality of life, promote health-oriented lifestyles, and enhance patient satisfaction among individuals with urinary calculi.

AIM:To investigate the oncolytic effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUMSCs)delivering reovirus type 3(Reo3)on chronic myeloid leukemia(CML)K562 cells.METHODS:The expression of junc-tional adhesion molecule-A(JAM-A),a receptor susceptible to Reo3,on the surface of hUMSCs and K562 cells was as-sessed by flow cytometry.Intracellular viral inclusion body distribution 72 h after Reo3 infection in hUMSCs was observed by electron microscopy.The hUMSCs were infected with various multiplicities of infection(MOI)of Reo3(MOI=0,1,2 and 3)for 24,48,72,96 and 120 h,and the most suitable MOI was identified by CCK-8 assay.Subsequently,hUMSCs were infected with the optimal titer of Reo3 for the same durations,and supernatants were collected.The titer of Reo3 in the supernatant from each group was measured using mouse fibroblast L929 cells combined with median tissue culture in-fectious dose(TCID50)method,determining the optimal infection time.The K562 cells were divided into 4 groups:con-trol group,hUMSCs group,Reo3 group,and hUMSCs-Reo3 group.Ratios of hUMSCs to K562 cells in hUMSCs group and hUMSCs-Reo3 group were set at low,medium and high(5∶1,10∶1 and 20∶1).The changes of K562 cell viability af-ter co-cultured with hUMSCs-Reo3 for 24,48 and 72 h were analyzed by CCK-8 assay.The apoptosis of K562 cells was evaluated by flow cytometry.The half maximal effective concentration(EC50)of anti-Reo3 monoclonal antibody was deter-mined using L929 cells.The oncolytic effect of hUMSCs-Reo3 on K562 cells with antibody present in vitro was verified.Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein levels of Bcl-2,Bax,survivin and cleaved caspase-3 in K562 cells af-ter treatment.A BALB/c nude mouse subcutaneous tumor model was constructed with K562 cells(n=6)to analyze the in vivo anti-tumor effect of hUMSCs-Reo3.RESULTS:The expression levels of JAM-A on the surfaces of hUMSCs and K562 cells were found to be 11.0%and 99.0%,respectively.Electron microscopy revealed a significant presence of viral inclusion bodies within hUMSCs 72 h following infection with Reo3.Within 120 h,no statistically significant difference was observed in the viability of hUMSCs between Reo3(MOI=1)group and uninfected group,establishing the optimal MOI.The TCID50 results indicated that the highest virus titer in the lysate of hUMSCs in Reo3(MOI=1)group occurred 48 h after infection,determining 48 h as the optimal infection time.The K562 cells co-cultured with hUMSCs-Reo3 for 24,48 and 72 h showed a dose-and time-dependent inhibition of cell viability.The EC50 of the anti-Reo3 monoclonal antibody was found to be 1∶34.Even in the presence of antibodies at various concentrations(1∶34,1∶300 and 1∶600),hUMSCs were capable of transporting Reo3 to inhibit K562 cell viability and induce apoptosis in vitro.Compared with control group,significant down-regulation of Bcl-2 and survivin expression levels in K562 cells was noted after 48 h of co-culture with hUMSCs-Reo3(P<0.05),while Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression levels were significantly up-regulated(P<0.05 or P<0.01).In the BALB/c nude mouse tumor-bearing model,determination of tumor volume changes,pathological examination of tumor tissue and major organs,and assessment of cathepsin B/L activity using a small animal live imaging system confirmed the oncolytic effect of hUMSCs-Reo3 on K562 cells in vivo without adverse effects on normal tissues.CONCLUSION:The hUMSCs are effective in transporting Reo3,and this delivery system is capable of releasing suffi-cient quantities of Reo3 in both in vivo and in vitro settings to inhibit the malignant proliferation of K562 cells and promote apoptosis,thereby exerting an oncolytic effect.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.
