Ulcerative colitis(UC)is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized primarily by impaired intestinal mucosal barrier function.Beneficial bacteria in the intestinal flora are crucial for maintaining intestinal function.Therefore,eliminating harmful bacteria,promoting the regeneration of beneficial bacteria,and reconstructing the intestinal mucosal barrier have become key strategies in the treatment of UC.The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)"Houchang Theory"elucidates the mech-anism of ulcer formation from the perspective of the"Zhimo"(lipid membrane)structure and a-chieves the purpose of treating UC by thickening the"Zhimo"through syndrome differentiation and treatment.This theory is consistent with the modern medical concept of reconstructing the intestinal mucosal barrier.Fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT),as a transformed product of TCM"Jinzhi"(liquid feces),has been proven to have significant efficacy in the treatment of UC.Based on the TCM"Houchang Theory"and from the perspective of the intestinal mucosal barrier,this article explored the mechanism of"Jinzhi"FMT in the treatment of UC and provides new strategies for clinical treatment.

Objective:To explore the role of casein kinase 1 gamma 2 (CSNK1G2) in the development and progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC).Methods:Based on the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), LinkedOmics and UALCAN were used to analyze the relationship among the mRNA expression of CSNK1G2, methylation, copy number variation and clinical indicators in HNSC, as well as to analysis CSNK1G2 related co-expression genes and proteins. The expression of CSNK1G2 in HNSC was verified by RT-qPCR experiments of clinical samples. Protein interaction network analysis on CSNK1G2 expression-related proteins was performed using STRING database.Results:UALCAN analysis showed that the expression of CSNK1G2 mRNA in HNSC was higher than that in normal tissues ( P<0.001), and the expression of CSNK1G2 mRNA was up-regulated in lower differentiation and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)-positive HNSC (all P<0.05). But in HNSC with different pathological stages, different age stages and different lymph node metastasis stages (N stage), there was no difference in the amount of CSNK1G2 mRNA expression (all P>0.05). The RT-qPCR experiment confirmed the increased expression of CSNK1G2 mRNA in HNSC. LinkedOmincs analysis results showed that CSNK1G2 mRNA expression was positively correlated with CSNK1G2 copy number variation ( P<0.001) and negatively correlated with methylation ( P<0.001). Survival analysis results showed that high CSNK1G2 mRNA expression and copy number mutations predicted better survival ( P=0.033, P=0.015), while methylation levels were not associated with survival ( P=0.458). Gene set enrichment analysis results showed that CSNK1G2-related co-expression genes were mainly in DNA replication. The STRING's protein interaction network analysis results showed that TP53, CHEK1, and CHEK2 may be key proteins. These proteins are significantly associated with high expression levels of CSNK1G2. Conclusions:CSNK1G2 may cooperate with TP53, CHEK1 and CHEK2 related proteins to promote the development of HNSC and tumor proliferation, but does not affect the metastasis and spread of HNSC. An increase in the expression of CSNK1G2 in HNSC may indicate a better survival prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of miR-200c on proliferation and apoptosis of tongue squamous cell carcino-ma (TCCS)Tca8113 cells.Methods The mimics of miR-200c were transfected into Tca8113 cells using liposome.The Tca8113 cell proliferation was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT)assay.The flow cytometry as-say was used to determine the cell cycle and the apoptosis rate of Tca8113 cell.The protein expression levels of Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 in Tca8113 cell was detected by Western-blot.Results The 20,40,80 nmol/L miR-200c mimics groups inhibited the growth of Tca8113 cells,the difference compared with the control group showing statistical significance(P <0.05).The greater the miR-200c mimics concentration and the longer duration of action,the more significant the inhibition effect(P <0.05).After 48h transfecting by miR-200c mimics,the Tca8113 cells were arrested in the G0/G1 phases of cell cycle,and the apoptosis rate of the miR-200c mim-ics groups was significantly increased,the difference compared with the control group showing statistical significance(P <0.05);Western blot verified that the expression amount of Bcl-2 protein in the 20,40,80 nmol/L miR-200c groups was significantly lower than that in the control group,while the expression amount of Caspase-3 protein was significantly higher than that in the control group(P <0.05).Conclusion The overexpression of miR-200c might inhibit the proliferation of Tca8113 cell and induces their ap-optosis.

Objective To investigate the action mechanism of blood-stage treatment that affects psoriasis vulgaris using observation of the Th17/Treg expression.Methods A total of 32 patients ( blood heat group,n =17 ; blood stasis group,n =15) and 15 healthy people ( control group,n =15 ) were observed.The frequencies of Th17 and Treg in peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometric analysis in patients before and after treated by heat-clearing and blood-cooling decoction,qi-enriching and blood-activating decoction.Results The ratio of Th17/Treg in peripheral blood [ blood heat group (4.21 ± 0.52 )% ;blood stasis group( 3.32 ± 0.43 )% ] was significantly increased in patients compared with controls [ ( 1.79 ±0.18)% ] ( P <0.01 ).After herbal treatment,the ratio of Th17/Treg expression in the blood heat group [ ( 2.41 ± 0.22 ) % ] and in blood stasis group [ ( 2.02 ± 0.12 ) % ] was significantly decreased ( P < 0.05 ),respectively.Conclusions Blood-stage treatment works well on Th17/Treg expression in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.
