Aim To study the main active ingredients,key targets and pathways of Cigu Xiaozhi Decoction(CXD)based on network pharmacology,and to ana-lyze and verify the mechanism of CXD on the transfor-mation of"inflammatory cancer"in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)by animal experiments.Meth-ods The potential targets and signaling pathways of CXD in the treatment of NASH"inflammatory carcino-ma"were predicted based on network pharmacology.The mouse model of NASH was induced by methionine-choline deficiency diet(MCD),and CXD and epider-mal growth factor receptor(EGFR)inhibitors were given for 28 days.The mice were killed after the inter-vention,and the liver histopathology of each group was observed by hematoxylin-eosin method(HE).The rel-ative expression levels of EGFR,phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)and protein kinase B(AKT)in liver tissue of mice in each group were detected by Western blot.The contents of interleukin-6(IL-6),interleu-kin-1 β(IL-1β)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assay(ELISA).Results A total of 284 poten-tial active components,159 potential therapeutic tar-gets and 20 key targets of CXD were identified by net-work pharmacological screening.CXD could affect multiple biological processes such as cell proliferation and inflammatory response,involving multiple signa-ling pathways such as tumor and PI3K/AKT.Animal experiments showed that CXD could reduce the levels of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α in serum of NASH mice.The relative expression of PI3K and AKT protein in liv-er tissue decreased,and the relative expression of EG-FR protein was increased.Conclusion CXD can reg-ulate EGFR/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by partici-pating in biological processes such as cell proliferation and inflammatory response,and improve liver tissue injury in NASH mice.

Objective:To investigate the effect of genetic polymorphism of MTHFR C677T (rs1801133) on methotrexate (MTX) related toxicity in pediatric mature B-cell lymphoma patients. Methods:Fifty-eight intermediate and high risk patients under 18 years of age with mature B-cell lymphoma who received 5 g/m2 MTX (24 h intravenous infusion) in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from August 2014 to December 2021 were included,and their toxicity of high-dose MTX (HD-MTX) were monitored and analyzed. Results:Among the 58 pediatric patients,the number of CC,CT,and TT genotypes for MTHFR C677T was 33,19 and 6,respectively. A total of 101 courses of HD-MTX therapy were counted,of which plasma MTX level>0.2 μmol/L at 48 h post-MTX infusion were observed in 35 courses,≤0.2 μmol/L in 66 courses. Inter-group comparison showed that plasma MTX level>0.2 μmol/L at 48 h post-MTX infusion increased the risk of developing oral mucositis (P<0.05). Compared with wild-type (CC genotype),patients in the mutant group (CT+TT genotype) were more likely to develop myelosuppression,manifested as anemia,leucopenia,neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. However,plasma MTX level at 48 h was not associated with MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism. Conclusion:The risk of developing oral mucositis in children with mature B-cell lymphoma is associated with plasma MTX concentration. Polymorphism of MTHFR C677T gene is not related to plasma MTX concentration in children with mature B-cell lymphoma,but is related to grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ hematological toxicity.

Objective:To investigate the knowledge of Sixth Chinese national consensus report on the management of Helicobacter pylori infection ( treatment excluded) (hereinafter referred to as sixth national consensus) and 2022 Chinese national clinical practice guideline on Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment (hereinafter referred to as the guideline)among medical staff from general hospitals in Hainan. Methods:From February 20 to May 7, 2023, a questionnaire survey on the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection was conducted among 1 463 medical staff from 15 general hospitals in Hainan Province. The questionnaire was drawn up according to the sixth national consensus and the guideline, covering knowledge of 6 sections, induding H. pylori related diseases, detection of H. pylori, eradication, prevention and influence factors of eradication of H. pylori, etc. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 1 463 valid questionnaires were collected with the effective responsive rate of 100.00%.The 1 463 subjects included 225 gastroenterologists and 1 238 other medical staff(including 503 physicians from other departments, 264 surgeons and 471 medical technologists and pharmacists). About 78.67%(177/225)of gastroenterologists agreed that the overall infection rate of H. pylori in China was more than 20%, the awareness rate was higher than that of other medical staff (physicians from other departments 65.41%(329/503), surgeons 61.74%(163/264), medical technologists and pharmacists 60.30%(284/471); the following datas were sorted by this position), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=30.97, P<0.001). About 51.11%(115/225) of gastroenterologists considered that H. pylori serological antibody test could not be used as a diagnostic method for current infection, the awareness rate was higher than that of other medical staff(22.07%(111/503), 14.02%(37/264), 12.31%(58/471)), and the difference was statistically significant( χ2 =152.66, P<0.001). Proton pump inhibitor and potassium-competitive acid blocker should be discontinued for 2 weeks, and antibiotics and bismuth should be discontinued for 4 weeks before urea breath test, and the awareness rates of gastroenterologists were higher than those of other medical staff (38.67%(87/225) vs. 23.26%(117/503), 19.70%(52/264), 18.47%(87/471); 60.89%(137/225) vs. 26.64%(134/503), 25.76%(68/264), 23.78%(112/471)), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 =133.70 and 165.51, both P<0.001). For refractory H. pylori infection, 98.67%(222/225)of gastroenterologists agreed with the individualized diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori infection should be guided by bacterial culture, antibiotic susceptibility test or drug resistance gene test, and the awareness rate was higher than that of other medical staff (91.85%(462/503), 93.56%(247/264), 93.21%(439/471)), and the difference was statistically significant( χ2=20.55, P=0.002). About 70.67% (159/225) of gastroenterologists recommended a bismuth containing quadruple regimen, 80.44% (181/225) supported a 10 to 14 day H. pylori eradication course, and the awareness rates were higher than other medical staff (46.92%(236/503), 33.33%(88/264), 32.91%(155/471); 67.20%(338/503), 59.09%(156/264), 53.93%(254/471)), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=111.25 and 59.99, both P<0.001). The understanding rates of the sixth national consensus and the guideline in gastroenterologists was 85.33% (192/225), which was higher than that of other medical staff (64.21%(323/503), 66.67%(176/264), 57.96%(273/471)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=85.47, P<0.001). Conclusions:Gastroenterologists from general hospitals in Hainan Province have a better understanding of the sixth national consensus and the guideline than other medical staff. However, there is still a lack of deep understanding of the sixth national consensus and the guideline, and it is necessary to further strengthen the learning and application of the sixth national consensus and the guideline.

Objective:To explore the clinical features of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) without Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection and its correlation with metabolic syndrome. Methods:From June 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023, a total of 966 patients diagnosed with CAG at Army Medical Center of PLA (Chongqing Daping Hospital) were enrolled. All the patients underwent 14C-urea breath test and gastroscopy. The patients were divided into infected group (461 patients with H. pylori-positive CAG) and uninfected group (505 patients with H. pylori-negative CAG). Relevant data including age, body mass index, degree of gastric atrophy (Kimura-Takemoto classification), metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia were collected and compared between the 2 groups. Independent sample t-test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to investigate the correlation between relevant indicators and the degree of gastric atrophy in the uninfected group patients. Results:The proportion of patients aged 71 to 80 years old in the uninfected group was higher than that in the infected group (17.0%, 86/505 vs.10.4%, 48/461), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=9.62, P=0.002). The degree of gastric atrophy was compared between the 2 groups, the proportions of C1 and C2 patients in the uninfected group were higher than those in the infected group (53.5%, 270/505 vs. 46.4%, 214/461; 34.1%, 172/505 vs. 26.24%, 121/461), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.78 and 6.96, both P<0.05). The proportions of patients with metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and obesity in the uninfected group were higher than those in the infected group (31.2%, 20/64 vs.14.8%, 9/61; 33.5%, 62/185 vs. 21.5%, 34/158; 31.3%, 67/214 vs. 7.8%, 36/461; 36.7%, 22/60 vs.19.7%, 12/61), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.77, 6.08, 4.95, and 4.32, all P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, blood glucose, and body mass index were all correlated with the degree of gastric atrophy ( r=-0.15, 0.20, and 0.31, all P<0.05). Conclusion:CAG without H. pylori infection may be related to physiological aging, and the degree of gastric atrophy is C1 and C2, which is related to metabolic syndrome.
