Yigongsan, derived from QIAN Yi’s Key to Therapeutics of Children’s Diseases in the Song Dynasty, is a classic pediatric prescription that is included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Prescriptions (the Second Batch of Pediatrics) released by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2022. This paper verifies and analyzes the historical origin, composition, dosage, processing, decoction method and efficacy of Yigongsan by systematically combing ancient books and modern documents. As a result, Yigongsan is composed of five herbs: Panax ginseng, Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, Citrus reticulata and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, of which P. cocos should be peeled, A. macrocephala is fried with soil, G. uralensis is roasted with honey while P. ginseng and C. reticulata are raw products. According to the dosage of ancient and modern times, each medicinal herb must be ground into fine powder, 1.6 g for each, added with 300 mL of water, 5 pieces of Zingiber officinale, and 2 Ziziphus jujuba, decocted together to 210 mL, and taken before meals. In ancient books, Yigongsan is used to treat vomiting, diarrhea, spleen and stomach deficiency, chest and abdominal distension, and lack of appetite, etc. Modern research showed that Yigongsan could also be used in the diseases of immune system, respiratory system, blood system, etc., involving infantile anorexia, asthma, anemia, tumors and so on.

Objective:To carry out the scoping review on the form, function and application effect of decision aids for breast reconstruction of breast cancer patients, so as to provide reference for domestic research on decision aids for breast reconstruction.Methods:According to the scoping review framework, literature was systematically searched on Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc. The retrieval period was from the establishment of the database to January 19, 2024.Results:A total of 14 articles were included, including 8 randomized controlled trials (RCT), four quasi-experimental studies, one qualitative study, and one prospective cohort study. The main forms of decision aids included web-based software programs, mobile applications (APP), decision support groups, or decision support manuals. The evaluation of intervention effectiveness mainly involved indicators such as patient decision regret, decision conflict, satisfaction, acceptance, and patient-reported outcomes.Conclusions:Breast reconstruction decision aids have a certain positive impact on improving patient satisfaction, decision quality, and patient-reported outcomes, but most studies have not examined their long-term effects. The research on decision aids for breast reconstruction in China is still in its infancy. It is suggested that future research should draw on relevant foreign studies to develop and advance high quality and diversified decision aids, and promote their clinical applications.

Measles is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the measles virus. It is highly infectious and easy to occur in children. It causes many serious complications such as tracheitis, otitis media and pneumonia. Since the promotion of the measles vaccine in China, the measles epidemic has been effectively controlled. From June 1, 2020, the immunization procedure of measles-containing vaccine for children in Shanghai has been adjusted to one dose of measles, mumps and rubella combined live attenuated vaccine (MMR) at the age of 8 months, 18 months and 6 years. There is generally no local reaction after the injection of the MMR vaccine. A few individuals may have transient fever and scattered rash, which generally fade away by themselves. However, because it is a live vaccine, it may cause vaccine related diseases in extremely rare cases. This paper reports two cases of measles after vaccination with the MMR vaccine.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the association of CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms with the risk of myocardial infarction.
METHODS:
Five hundred patients with myocardial infarction and 500 healthy controls were randomly selected. Fluorescent PCR and Sanger sequencing were used to detect the CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms. Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between the polymorphisms and myocardial infarction. Quanto software was used to evaluate the statistical power.
RESULTS:
The two groups had significant difference in the frequency of AG, GG genotypes and A allele of the CYP2C19 gene rs4986893 locus and the AA, AG, GG genotypes and G allele of the CYP3A5 gene rs776746 locus ( P<0.05), but not in the frequency of genotypes and alleles of CYP2C19 gene rs4244285 and rs12248560 loci, and the AA genotype of the rs4986893 locus. After correction for age, gender, and body mass index, Logistic regression indicated that the AG genotype and A allele of the CYP2C19 gene rs4986893 locus, and the GG genotype and G allele of CYP3A5 gene rs776746 locus are associated with susceptibility of myocardial infarction, while rs4986893 GG genotype and AA and AG genotypes of rs776746 may confer a protective effect. Based on the sample size and allele frequency, analysis with Quanto software suggested that the result of this study has a statistical power of 99%.
CONCLUSION
CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms may increase the risk for myocardial infarction.

OBJECTIVE:
To construct a HIV-1 gp120 transgenic mouse model (gp120) with 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (7nAChR) gene knockout.
METHODS:
The 7nAChR gene knockout mice (7R) were crossed with HIV-1gp120 transgenic mice (gp120) to generate F1 generation mice. We selected the F1 mice with the genotype of 7R/gp120 to mate to obtain the F2 mice. The genotypes of the F3 mice were identified by PCR, and the protein expressions in the double transgenic animal model was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. BV2 cells were treated with gp120 protein and 7nAChR inhibitor, and the expressions of IL-1β and TNF- were detected using ELISA.
RESULTS:
The results of PCR showed the bands of the expected size in F3 mice. Two F3 mice with successful double gene editing (7R/gp120) were obtained, and immunohistochemistry showed that the brain tissue of the mice did not express 7 nAChR but with high gp120 protein expression. In the cell experiment, treatment with gp120 promoted the secretion of IL-1β and TNF- in BV2 cells, while inhibition of 7nAChR significantly decreased the expression of IL-1β and TNF- ( < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS
By mating gp120 Tg mice with 7R mice, we obtained gp120 transgenic mice with 7nAChR gene deletion, which serve as a new animal model for exploring the role of 7nAChR in gp120-induced neurotoxicity.

Objective To investigate the effect of inhibition of ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT) by small interfering RNA (siRNA) on hepatocyte fatty degeneration and related mechanism of action.Methods Human LO2 hepatocytes were treated with free fatty acid (FFA)to induce hepatocyte fatty degeneration.LO2 hepatocytes were treated with FFA and siRNA-GOAT alone or in combination and then divided into normal control (NC) group (treated with phosphate buffered saline alone),siRNA-GOAT group (treated with siRNA-GOAT at a final concentration of 10 nm),FFA group (treated with FFA at a final concentration of 1 mm),and FFA + siRNA-GOAT group (treated with FFA at a final concentration of 1 mm and siRNA-GOAT at a final concentration of 10 nm).Oil red O staining was performed for hepatocytes to identify lipid droplets;the triglyceride (TG) test kit was used to measure the lipid level in LO2 hepatocytes;Western blot,qRT-PCR,immunofluorescent staining,and electron microscopy were used to measure autophagy;ELISA and RT-PCR were used to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and interleukin-6 (IL-6);ELISA was used to measure the changes in the levels of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR),phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR),AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK),and phosphorylated AMPK.A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups,and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between any two groups.Results Compared with the FFA group,the FFA + siRNA-GOAT group had a significant reduction in the formation of lipid droplets and a significantly lower TG level (P <0.001).Compared with the FFA group,the FFA + siRNA-GOAT group had significant reductions in the protein and mRNA expression of TNFα and IL-6 (all P < 0.005).The siRNA + GOAT group had significantly higher mRNA expression of LC3-Ⅱ and Beclin-1 than the NC group (all P <0.001).The FFA + siRNA-GOAT group had significantly higher mRNA expression of LC3-Ⅱ and Beclin-1 than the FFA group (all P <0.001).The siRNA + GOAT group had significantly higher protein expression of LC3-Ⅱ and Beclin-1 than the NC group (all P < 0.05).The FFA + siRNA-GOAT group had significantly higher protein expression of LC3-Ⅱ and Beclin-1 than the FFA group (all P < 0.05).Immunofluorescent staining showed that compared with the FFA group and the siRNA-GOAT group,the FFA + siRNA-GOAT group had a significant increase in the expression of endogenous LC3-Ⅱ in LO2 hepatocytes.Electron microscopy showed that compared with the FFA group,the FFA + siRNA-GOAT group had a significant increase in the expression of autophagosome.After the LO2 hepatocytes were treated by autophagy inhibitors siRNA-ATG5 and 3-MA or an autophagy stimulant,rapamycin,there was a significant difference in TG level between the FFA + siRNA-ATG5 group and the FFA + siRNA-GOAT group (P < 0.001),as well as between the FFA + 3-MA group and the FFA + rapamycin group (P < 0.001).The FFA + siRNA-GOAT group had a significantly higher level of LC3-Ⅰ/Ⅱ than the FFA + siRNA-ATG5 group (P <0.05),and the FFA + rapamycin group had a significantly higher level of LC3-Ⅰ/Ⅱ than the FFA + 3-MA group (P < 0.05).Compared with the FFA group,the FFA + siRNA-GOAT group had significantly higher protein expression of p-AMPK (P < 0.05) and significantly lower protein expression of p-rmTOR (P < 0.05).Conclusion GOAT inhibition by siRNA can upregnlate autophagy and alleviate hepatocyte fatty degeneration,possibly by regulating the AMPK/mTOR pathway.
