ObjectiveAbnormal lipids in neurons can cause the accumulation of α-synuclein（α-syn）. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of Acanthopanacis Senticosi Radix et Rhizoma seu Caulis extract （ASH） in treating Parkinson's disease （PD） mice using lipidomics combined with network pharmacology. MethodsMice were divided into the blank group， model group and ASH （45.5 mg·kg^-1） group. Motor ability was evaluated by pole climbing time and autonomous activity count； The oxidative stress indicators were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Lipid biomarkers in brain tissues were screened and identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS）， and metabolic pathway analysis was conducted. The key targets of ASH for PD treatment were explored using network pharmacology. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） database was used for pathway enrichment analysis， and the "compound-reaction-enzyme-gene" network was constructed using the MetScape plugin. The protein expression levels of glutathione S-transferase P1 （GSTP1）， glutathione S-transferase Mu 2 （GSTM2）， prostaglandin peroxide synthase 1 （PTGS1）， prostaglandin peroxide synthase 2 （PTGS2）， and prostaglandin E synthase （PTGES） were validated by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the blank group， the model group showed significantly prolonged pole climbing time and reduced autonomous activity count （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the ASH group demonstrated significantly faster pole climbing and increased autonomous activity count （P<0.01）. The model group exhibited significantly decreased superoxide dismutase （SOD） and glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） levels， and increased malondialdehyde （MDA） level in brain tissues compared with the blank group （P<0.01）. The ASH group showed increased SOD and GSH-Px levels and decreased MDA level compared with the model group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Lipidomics analysis identified 10 differential metabolites and 8 differential metabolic pathways. Network pharmacological analysis revealed 213 intersection targets between ASH components and PD， with KEGG enrichment involving the sphingolipid signaling pathway， lipid arteriosclerosis， phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B（PI3K/Akt） signaling pathway， mitogen-activated protein kinase（MAPK） signaling pathway， and hypoxia inducible factor-1（HIF-1） signaling pathway. Integrated lipidomics and network pharmacology analysis highlighted the central role of the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway. The Western blot results showed that ASH effectively up-regulated GSTP1， GSTM2， and PTGS1 protein expression， and down-regulated PTGS2 and PTGES protein expression. ConclusionASH can ameliorate behavioral deficits， exert antioxidant effects， regulate lipid differential metabolites and the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway， thereby exerting therapeutic effects in PD model mice.

[摘 要] 目的：探讨透明质酸介导运动受体（HMMR）在食管鳞状细胞癌（ESCC）细胞恶性进展中的作用及其潜在的分子机制。方法：收集2018年1月至2020年12月期间在河北医科大学第四医院手术切除的8例ESCC组织及癌旁组织标本，以及ESCC细胞KYSE-30和KYSE-150。利用WB法和免疫组化（IHC）法检测HMMR在ESCC组织中的表达情况。采用RNA干扰技术，在KYSE-30和KYSE-150细胞中敲低HMMR表达，qPCR法和WB法检测敲低效果，通过CCK-8实验和Transwell实验分别检测敲低HMMR对ESCC细胞增殖和侵袭能力的影响。4-硝基喹啉1-氧化物（4NQO）诱导小鼠致癌建立ESCC模型，H-E染色观察食管的形态变化，IHC法分析HMMR、序列相似性家族83成员D（FAM83D）、上皮钙黏素（E-cadherin）和神经钙黏素（N-cadherin）在小鼠不同癌变程度组织中的表达情况。结果：人ESCC组织中HMMR表达水平显著高于癌旁组织（均P < 0.05）。敲低HMMR后，KYSE-30和KYSE-150细胞的增殖和侵袭能力均显著降低（P < 0.05或P < 0.01），同时降低了FAM83D的表达水平（均P < 0.01）。裸鼠成瘤实验中，4NQO组小鼠体质量均低于对照组（均P < 0.05）；IHC法染色结果显示，肿瘤组织中HMMR呈高表达（P < 0.05），其中在高级别上皮内瘤变（HGIN）组织中的表达显著高于低级别上皮内瘤变（LGIN）组织（P < 0.001）。HMMR与FAM83D、N-cadherin表达呈显著正相关（r = 0.724、0.870，均P < 0.001），与E-cadherin表达呈显著负相关（r = -0.714，P < 0.001）。结论：HMMR在ESCC组织中呈高表达，其可能通过上调FAM83D表达水平促进ESCC的进展。

The paper summarizes Professor YANG Jun's thoughts on clinical treatment with acupuncture and moxibustion. Professor YANG Jun puts forward the "refined mode for diagnosis and treatment of diseases with acupuncture and moxibustion", aiming to improve the capacity of diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice. He advocates that the diagnosis and treatment should be guided by the identification of etiologies, syndromes and meridians; in accordance with regulating the shape/form, balancing yin and yang, and harmonizing the mind; and by means of skillful techniques of acupuncture and moxibustion, simplified selection of acupoints and delicate manipulations. Besides, he stresses on the combination of multiple techniques of acupuncture (such as penetrating technique with long needle, stuck needling by lifting and pulling, and micro-acupuncture systems) with moxibustion techniques (moxibustion for resolving stasis and unblocking collaterals, pressing moxibustion, borneol moxibustion, moxibustion with medicinal plaster) in clinical practice, so as to enhance the therapeutic effects.

Objective To establish an effective model for distinguishing glandular prodromal lesions(PGL)mixed with ground-glass nodules(mGGN)from minimally invasive adenocarcinoma(MIA)on CT based on artificial intelligence.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and CT image data of 180 patients with lung adenocarcinoma confirmed by surgical pathology and with CT manifestations of mGGN in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2017 to June 2023,inclu-ding 66 patients with PGL and 114 patients with MIA.Patients were divided into the training set(n=144)and the test set(n=36)in an 8∶2 ratio using a completely random method.The quantitative parameters and radiomics features of the lesions in CT images were automatically extracted using artificial intelligence soft-ware(United Imaging Research Platform uRP).By incorporating the most obvious correlation features of omics through dimensionality reduction,five machine learning classifiers were established,including logistic regression(LR),support vector machine(SVM),Random forest(RF),Gaussian process(GP),and Decision Tree(DT).The classifier with the training set highest area under the curve(AUC)was selected as the best radiomics model,and output the result as radiomics score(Rad-score).The clinical information,CT morpho-logical characteristics and quantitative data of the two groups were included in the multivariate logistic regres-sion analysis to screen the independent influencing factors for effectively differentiating PGL and MIA,and a clinical model was established.Finally,a comprehensive prediction model was constructed based on Rad-score and clinical risk factors.The diagnostic performance of the three models was evaluated by using the AUC,sen-sitivity,specificity and accuracy of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results Eleven radiomics features for distinguishing PGL from MIA were obtained through LASSO dimensionality reduction.Among the five machine learning classifiers,GP has the best diagnostic performance,with AUC of 0.865 in the train-ing set and 0.762 in the test set,respectively.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used for clinical feature screening.The clinical model was constructed by using the average CT value,average long and short diameter,and solid partial long diameter of mGGN,and the AUCs of the training set and the test set were 0.870 and 0.794,respectively.The comprehensive prediction model demonstrated superior diag-nostic performance,with AUC,sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy in the training set being 0.948,81.1%,91.2%and 87.5%respectively,while 0.883,76.9%,91.3%and 86.1%respectively in the test set.Conclu-sion The comprehensive prediction model established based on the quantitative and omics feature analysis of pulmonary nodules by artificial intelligence can well distinguish mGGN mixed with PGL from MIA on CT,and can be used to guide clinical treatment decisions.

This article systematically summarizes the clinical experience of Professor Yang Jun,a nationally renowned traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)physician,in applying refined direct moxibustion(applying a moxibustion pen made by Chinese medical extract)to treat functional dyspepsia(FD)of the stuffiness-fullness type.Based on decades of clinical practice,Professor Yang innovatively established a moxibustion therapy system for FD,which centers on TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment.The system emphasizes the refined identification of epigastric stuffiness and fullness syndrome,particularly focusing on the relative significance of abdominal distension and poor appetite.Its therapeutic features lie in establishing the principle of"prioritizing mind regulation while holistically harmonizing body and spirit",combined with personalized moxibustion dosage control and a unique refined direct moxibustion technique.By optimizing the configuration of each step in moxibustion therapy,the system maximizes therapeutic efficacy,providing novel theoretical foundations and clinical strategies for moxibustion treatment of stuffiness-fullness type of FD.

This article introduces Professor Yang Jun's clinical experience in treating bronchial asthma using warming needle moxibustion via the governor vessel-unblocking and conception vessel-regulating method.Professor Yang posits that asthma pathogenesis-whether triggered by internal imbalances or external pathogens-ultimately stems from yin-yang disharmony leading to rebellious lung qi and impaired diffusion/descending functions.Thus,restoring dynamic yin-yang balance constitutes the core therapeutic principle.As the governor and conception vessels govern the body's yin-yang regulation,Professor Yang's decades of clinical practice substantiate that"harmonizing these vessels determines life's vitality".His protocol combines warming needle moxibustion with press needles to activate governor-conception vessel functions,achieving five therapeutic effects:(1)yin-yang harmonization,(2)qi movement regulation,(3)meridian unblocking,(4)visceral stabilization,and(5)pathogen elimination,demonstrating remarkable efficacy.

Chimeric antigen receptor-modified T(CAR-T)cell therapy,as a new type of cellular immunotherapy,has shown good clinical efficacy in the treatment of malignant hematological tumors,especially B-cell acute lympho-blastic leukemia.However,there are problems such as antigen loss and immune evasion in single-target selection,so multi-target therapy strategies are gradually gaining attention.Multi-target CAR-T can effectively avoid antigen escape caused by a single target by targeting multiple tumor-associated antigens at the same time,reduce the risk of recurrence,and is expected to improve the therapeutic effect.This paper primarily discusses the structural types of multi-target CAR-T cell therapy and its clinical trial applications in the treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leu-kemia(B-ALL),aiming to provide future references for the treatment of B-ALL.

AIM: To observe the changes of corneal densitometry(CD)in patients with keratoconus after corneal cross-linking(CXL).METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 32 patients(43 eyes)with keratoconus in Ningxia Eye Hospital from April 2020 to April 2022 were selected. Pentacam analysis system divided the cornea into three layers: anterior 120 μm, middle layer and posterior 60 μm, and divides it into five regions with diameters of 0-2, 2-6, 6-10, 10-12 mm and full diameter according to the diameter, and measures the CD in different ranges. The changes of CD were compared before operation and at 1, 3 and 6 mo after operation.RESULTS: There were differences in uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity and intraocular pressure before and 6 mo after operation(all P<0.05), and there was no difference in corneal endothelial cells(P=0.477). CD reached its peak at 1 mo after operation, and decreased at 3 mo and 6 mo after operation, but it was still higher than that before operation. There is a significant positive correlation between CD and Kmax in the anterior layer and the whole layer(r=0.164, P=0.016; r=0.152, P=0.023).CONCLUSION: The values of CD peaked at 1 mo after CXL, then it gradually decreased, tending to become stable at 6 mo postoperatively.

BACKGROUND:Acellular vascular scaffolds can mimic the microstructure and function of native blood vessels,but some extracellular matrix loss occurs during their preparation,which affects their hemocompatibility.Therefore,it is necessary to modify them to improve their hemocompatibility. OBJECTIVE:To assess the hemocompatibility of acellular vascular scaffold prepared by Triton-x100/heparin sodium treatment. METHODS:The abdominal aorta was taken from SD rats and randomly divided into control and experimental groups.The control group was treated with Triton-x100 for 48 hours.The experimental group was treated with Triton-x100 for 48 hours and then treated with heparin sodium.The morphology and hydrophilicity of the two groups of acellular vascular scaffolds were detected.The hemocompatibility of the two groups of acellular vascular scaffold was evaluated by recalcification coagulation time test,platelet adhesion test,dynamic coagulation time test,hemolysis test,and complement activation test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Scanning electron microscopy showed that the surface of the two groups of vascular scaffolds was relatively intact,and a large number of fiber filaments appeared on the surface of the scaffolds after decellularity treatment,and the surface microstructure changed significantly.The water contact angle of the two groups of vascular scaffolds was smaller than that of natural vessels(P<0.000 1).There was no significant difference in water contact angle between the two groups(P>0.05).(2)The coagulation time of vascular scaffold was longer in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.05).The number of platelets attached to the scaffold membrane was less in the experimental group than that in the control group(P<0.000 1).The coagulation index was greater in the experimental group than that in the control group(P<0.01),and the complement level was lower in the experimental group than that in the control group(P<0.001).The hemolysis rate of the two groups was lower than 5%of the national standard.(3)To conclude,acellular scaffold treated with Triton-x100/heparin sodium has excellent hemocompatibility.

Objective:To explore the changes of dynamic cerebral autoregulation ability in pilots exposed to acute positive acceleration(+ Gz) by transcranial Doppler combined with beat-to-beat blood pressure.Methods:A total of 26 pilots enrolled in the + 8Gz manned centrifuge trial at the Air Force Medical Center, Air Force Medical University from June to October 2022 were prospectively included. Blood pressure and heart rate were monitored in the resting state before the trial and within 5 min after centrifugation. Transcranial Doppler combined with noninvasive continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure monitor were used to detect bilateral middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity and beat-to-beat pulse pressure respectively. The transfer function analysis was applied to derive the parameters of cerebral blood flow autoregulation in each frequency band from 0.02 to 0.50 Hz, and the phase, gain and coherence were calculated. The above parameters were compared between resting state and after acute + 8Gz positive acceleration exposure.Results:Compared with the resting state, in all of the 26 pilots after acute + 8Gz positive acceleration exposure, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate increased significantly ( P<0.001), the phase significantly increased and the gain significantly decreased in the ultra-low frequency band (0.02-0.07 Hz) ( P<0.05); whereas there were no statistical differences of gain and phase in the low frequency band (0.07-0.20 Hz) and the high frequency band (0.20-0.50 Hz) (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Transcranial Doppler combined with beat-to-beat pulse pressure can be used for the assessment of changes in immediate dynamic cerebral autoregulation after acute + Gz exposure, and transfer function analysis of ultra-low frequency band parameters is suitable for this type of evaluation.
