Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, non-specific inflammatory bowel disease. The pathogenesis of this disease is complex and is attributed to multiple factors. Intestinal mucosal barrier damage is the basic pathological change of UC, and intestinal flora disorder is one of the important characteristics of UC. Intestinal flora plays a key role in the pathological process of UC by regulating intestinal mucosal immunity and inflammatory response to repair the damaged intestinal mucosal barrier. At present, western medicine has the advantages of rapid action onset and significant short-term efficacy, but the curative effect of long-term use is not good, accompanied by many adverse reactions, causing great physical and mental pain to patients. Therefore, it is urgent to explore new treatment methods with definite long-term efficacy and mild adverse reactions. A large number of studies have shown that Chinese medicine can regulate intestinal flora through multiple targets in an all-around way, restore the homeostasis of the flora, and repair the damaged intestinal mucosal barrier, thereby inhibiting the progression of UC. Numerous studies have shown that the active components, monomers, and compounds of Chinese medicine can effectively antagonize UC by regulating the intestinal flora to improve the intestinal mucosal immunity, reduce the inflammatory response of the intestinal mucosa, and restore the normal physiological function of the intestinal mucosal barrier, providing a new strategy for UC prevention and treatment. Although there are some studies of the regulation of intestinal flora by Chinese medicine to prevent and treat UC, those studies have the shortcomings of systematic and comprehensive inadequacy. Therefore, based on the research status of UC, intestinal flora, and Chinese medicine treatment, this study reviewed the relationship between intestinal flora and UC and clarified the key role of intestinal flora in the occurrence and development of UC. At the same time, this paper comprehensively summarized the Chinese medicine that targeted the regulation of intestinal flora for the treatment of UC in the past five years to provide new strategies and ideas for UC treatment.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with complex etiology. The pathogenesis of this disease, due to a combination of factors, is complex and has not yet been elucidated. Among them, intestinal mucosal barrier damage is the basic pathological change of UC. As a non-destructive response of cells, autophagy regulates intestinal mucosal immunity, inflammation, oxidative stress, and bacterial homeostasis through degradation and reabsorption to actively repair damaged intestinal mucosal barrier, exerting a key role in the occurrence and development of UC. The disease is mainly treated clinically with aminosalicylic acid preparations, glucocorticoids, and immunosuppressants. Western medicine treatment of the disease has a fast onset of effect, and the short-term efficacy is definite, but the long-term application is easy to be accompanied by more adverse reactions. Moreover, some drugs are expensive, bringing great physical and mental pain and economic burden to patients. Therefore, it is urgent to explore new therapies with stable efficacy and mild adverse effects. In recent years, a large number of studies have shown that Chinese medicine can regulate autophagy of the intestinal mucosa with multiple targets and effects and repair the intestinal mucosal barrier function, thereby inhibiting the development of UC. Many experiments have shown that the active ingredient or monomers and compound formulas of Chinese medicine can improve the immunity of the intestinal mucosa, inflammation, oxidative stress, and flora by regulating the level of autophagy to maintain the normal function of the intestinal mucosal barrier to effectively intervene in UC, providing a new measure for the prevention and treatment of UC. However, there is a lack of systematic review of Chinese medicine in regulating the level of autophagy in the intestinal mucosa for the prevention and treatment of UC. Therefore, based on the current research on UC, autophagy process, and Chinese medicine treatment, this article reviewed the relationship of autophagy and its key target proteins with UC to clarify the key role of autophagy in UC production and systematically summarized Chinese medicines targeting the regulation of autophagy to treat UC in recent years to provide new ideas for the treatment and drug development of UC.

ObjectiveThe human angiotensin converting enzyme2 (hACE2) transgenic mouse model was used to clarify the antiviral efficacy of BD-77 against a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and explore the action mechanism of BD-77 against SARS-CoV-2. MethodSARS-CoV-2 Omicron and Delta variant strains-infected VeroE6 cell models were established and administered with BD-77 to observe the antiviral effect of BD-77 in vitro. A kit was used to detect the effect of BD-77 in vitro on the binding of spike S protein of SARS-CoV-2 virus (Delta/Omicron) to angiotensin converting enzyme2 (ACE2). Chromatography was adopted to detect the binding of BD-77 to the S protein and N protein of the novel coronavirus. hACE2 transgenic C57BL/6 mice were divided into a blank control group, SARS-CoV-2 infection group, BD-77 administration groups of 37.5 mg·kg-1 and 75 mg·kg-1, with eight mice in each group. The pneumonia model of SARS-CoV-2-infected hACE2 transgenic mice was built to observe the survival of the mice, detect the virus titer of the lung tissue of the mice, and observe the lesions in the lung tissue. ResultBD-77 had a certain inhibitory effect on Omicron and Delta variant strains in vitro, with median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 526.3 mg·L-1 and 653.0 mg·L-1, respectively. BD-77 had no significant inhibitory effect on the binding of the S protein of WT, Omicron, and Delta variant strains of SARS-CoV-2 to ACE2 and had no binding effect with the S protein and N protein of the novel coronavirus. No mice in the blank group died, while the mortality rate of SARS-CoV-2-infected mice was 75%. There was a large amount of virus replication in the lung tissue of the mice and large areas of inflammatory infiltration in the lung tissue and interstitium. Compared with the model group, BD-77 administration groups of 37.5 mg·kg-1 and 75 mg·kg-1 could reduce the mortality of mice, significantly lower the virus titer in the lung tissue of mice (P<0.05), and improve lung lesions. ConclusionBD-77 demonstrated significant inhibitory effects against SARS-CoV-2 virus in vitro and in vivo. However, its mechanism of action did not involve direct inhibition of the virus itself or intervention in the virus-host binding process. This finding suggests that the mechanism of action of BD-77 needs to be thoroughly investigated and elucidated by further experiments.

Background::Heterotaxy (HTX) is a thoracoabdominal organ anomaly syndrome and commonly accompanied by congenital heart disease (CHD). The aim of this study was to analyze rare copy number variations (CNVs) in a HTX/CHD cohort and to examine the potential mechanisms contributing to HTX/CHD.Methods::Chromosome microarray analysis was used to identify rare CNVs in a cohort of 120 unrelated HTX/CHD patients, and available samples from parents were used to confirm the inheritance pattern. Potential candidate genes in CNVs region were prioritized via the DECIPHER database, and PNPLA4 was identified as the leading candidate gene. To validate, we generated PNPLA4-overexpressing human induced pluripotent stem cell lines as well as pnpla4-overexpressing zebrafish model, followed by a series of transcriptomic, biochemical and cellular analyses. Results::Seventeen rare CNVs were identified in 15 of the 120 HTX/CHD patients (12.5%). Xp22.31 duplication was one of the inherited CNVs identified in this HTX/CHD cohort, and PNPLA4 in the Xp22.31 was a candidate gene associated with HTX/CHD. PNPLA4 is expressed in the lateral plate mesoderm, which is known to be critical for left/right embryonic patterning as well as cardiomyocyte differentiation, and in the neural crest cell lineage. Through a series of in vivo and in vitro analyses at the molecular and cellular levels, we revealed that the biological function of PNPLA4 is importantly involved in the primary cilia formation and function via its regulation of energy metabolism and mitochondria-mediated ATP production. Conclusions::Our findings demonstrated a significant association between CNVs and HTX/CHD. Our data strongly suggested that an increased genetic dose of PNPLA4 due to Xp22.31 duplication is a disease-causing risk factor for HTX/CHD.

Objective To explore the effect of personality characteristics on the facial esthetic satisfaction of edentulous patients,in order to provide reference for improving esthetic satisfaction after complete denture restoration.Methods Twenty-two edentulous sub-jects were randomly selected.Before complete denture treatment,the emotional stability of patients was assessed by Eysenck personality questionnaire N scale score(EPQ-N).Before and three months after treatment,patients completed the orofacial esthetic questionnaire,and 3D stereophotogrammetry was performed to evaluate the changes in facial appearance.In addition,multiple linear regression model was established by using N scale score,changes in facial appearance and facial esthetic satisfaction score.Results After complete denture treatment,the difference in the ratio of the middle and lower parts of the face between patients and the normal group was re-duced by(3.85±2.63)%,and the difference of the nasolabial angle between patients and the normal group was reduced by(6.66°±5.39°).The multiple linear regression model showed that N scale score and changes of the differencein the facial proportion between edentulous subjects and normal population were influencing factors of patients'esthetic satisfaction on the facial appearance,and the N scale score and changes of the difference inthe nasolabial anglebetween patients and normal population were influencing factors of the patients'aesthetic satisfaction on the facial profile.Moreover,the effect of two independent variables(N scale score and facial soft tissue change)on the aesthetic satisfaction of facial appearance and facial profile was statistically significant(P<0.001).Furthermore,when the N score increased,the patients'aesthetic satisfaction on the facial appearance and facial profile decreased(B<0).Conclusion Personality can affect the aesthetic satisfaction of edentulous patients.Consequently,we should take reasonable measures for patients with different personality in the process of complete denture restoration,so as to achieve the goal of improving patients'aesthetic satisfaction.

Objective:To investigate the application value of porcine small intestinal sub-mucosa (SIS) acellular matrix mesh in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR).Methods:The prospective multicenter randomized controlled single-blind non-inferiority-type study was conducted. The clinical data of 216 patients who underwent LIHR in 4 medical centers, including Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University et al, from April 2021 to August 2022 were selected. Patients were divided into two groups using a central randomization system. Patients in the experimental group were implanted domestic SIS mesh, and patients in the control group were implanted imported mesh of similar material origin. The baseline characteristics of enrolled patients were evaluated using the full analysis set, and the effectiveness indicators were evaluated using the protocol set. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the ttest. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers and/or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. If the lower limit of 95% confidence interval( CI) of the difference in effective rates between the experimental group and the control group was greater than the non-inferiority cut-off value of ?10%, the experimental group was considered non-inferior to the control group. Results:(1) Situations of the enrolled patients. A total of 216 patients were selected for eligibility, with 46 patients dropping out due to violation of the trial protocol, and the remaining 170 patients were included in the full analysis set. Nine patients were dislodged due to loss to follow-up, and 161 patients completed follow-up. One case in the experimental group was excluded due to violating the inclusion and exclusion criteria, while the remaining 160 patients were included in the protocol set (80 cases in the experimental group and 80 cases in the control group). There was no significant difference in the gender, age, body mass index (BMI), surgical method, Gilbert type of hernia, volume of intraoperative blood loss, operation time of patients between the experimental group and the control group ( P>0.05), confounding bias ensured comparability. (2) Study endpoints. ① Primary study endpoint. During the postoperative 6 month of follow-up, none of patient in the experimental group or the control group had hernia recurrence, with the recurrence rate as 0. Results of non-inferiority test showed that the difference of hernia recurrence between the two groups was 0 (95% CI as ?4.58% to 4.58%), with the lower limit of ?4.58% greater than the non-inferiority cut-off value of ?10%, which fulfilled the non-inferiority hypothesis. ② Secondary study endpoints. Cases with plasmapheresis during the follow-up were 18 in the experimental group and 29 in the control group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=3.65, P>0.05). There were 4 cases with postoperative pain and 1 case with postoperative malaise in the experimental group, and there were 8 cases with postoperative pain and 0 case with postoperative malaise in the control group, showing no signifi-cant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). None of patient in the experimental group or the control group had incision infection, enterocutaneous fistula, intestinal obstruction, intestinal canal injury, allergy and rejection, testicular inflammation and/or atrophy, or any other complication. Conclusion:Compared with imported mesh of similar material origin, domestic porcine SIS mesh is safe and effective in LIHR.
