Objective:To identify proteins associated with the risk of gastric cancer (GC) and build a protein risk score for risk prediction of GC based on proteomic analysis.Methods:Gastric mucosal proteomics data were used to construct Dataset One, comprising 94 GC cases and 230 individuals with different stages of gastric mucosal lesions. The GC cases were recruited from the National Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Early Detection (UGCED) Program in Linqu, Shandong Province, as well as clinical patients from the Fifth Medical Center, General Hospital of PLA, and Peking University Cancer Hospital. Non-cancer individuals were enrolled from the National UGCED Program in Linqu and community screening programs at the Dongfang Hospital. All participants were pathologically confirmed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify gastric mucosal proteins significantly associated with GC risk. Subsequently, plasma proteomics data from the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP) were used to construct Dataset Two, including 40 baseline GC cases and 47 933 non-cancer individuals, and Dataset Three, comprising 138 incident GC cases and 47 933 non-cancer individuals during a prospective follow-up period. In Dataset Two, multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess associations between plasma protein levels and baseline GC risk. In Dataset Three, multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to examine associations with the risk of incident GC. A poly-protein risk score (PRS) was developed using a weighted summation method based on protein effect sizes from Dataset Two. Its associations with GC risk and the progression of gastric mucosal lesions were evaluated using linear regression trend tests.Results:A total of 324, 47 973 and 48 071 participants were included in Datasets One, Two, and Three, respectively. Across the three datasets, the proportions of males and individuals aged>60 years were higher in the GC group than in the non-GC group (all P values<0.05). The follow-up period in Dataset Three had a M ( P 25, P 75) of 14.47 (13.7, 15.2) years, with a median of 7.4 (4.6, 11.3) years for those who progressed to GC. Based on Dataset One, 2 524 tissue-differential proteins associated with GC risk were identified through multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age and sex. Among these, seven proteins were consistently associated with GC risk across tissue and plasma levels in Datasets Two and Three, with consistent directions of association. Five proteins (MRC1, APOL1, BST2, PON2, and GGH) were positively associated with GC risk, while two (GSN and CLEC3B) were negatively associated. Analysis of the PRS based on these seven proteins showed that for each standard deviation increase in the tissue-derived PRS, the risk of GC increased by 6.26 times (95% CI: 4.02-9.75). In Dataset Two, each standard deviation increase in the plasma-derived PRS was associated with a 2.13-fold increase in GC risk (95% CI: 1.68-2.69). In the prospective cohort of Dataset Three, individuals in the high PRS group had a 2.27-fold higher risk of GC compared to the low PRS group (95% CI: 1.50-3.45). Moreover, each standard deviation increase in the plasma PRS was associated with a 57% higher risk of GC ( HR=1.57, 95% CI: 1.34-1.84). Additionally, the tissue-derived PRS showed an increasing trend with the progression of gastric mucosal lesions. Conclusion:The tissue and plasma proteomics identified seven individual proteins that may indicate the risk of developing gastric cancer, showing the potential as biomarkers for aiding in the screening of gastric cancer.

Objective:To study the risk factors of thyroid nodules in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:Data of patients with type 2 diabetes with normal thyroid function admitted to the Department of Endocrinology of Heze Municipal Hospital from January to June 2024 were collected. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of thyroid nodules in patients with type 2 diabetes, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of each influencing factor.Results:Among 162 patients with type 2 diabetes, 96 had thyroid nodules, accounting for 59.3%. The incidence of thyroid nodules in women was significantly higher than that in men (χ 2 = 4.56, P = 0.034). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (≥50 years old), overweight and obesity [body mass index (BMI)≥24.0 kg/m 2], high glycated hemoglobin (≥10%), and high total cholesterol ( > 6.5 mmol/L) were independent risk factors for thyroid nodules in patients with type 2 diabetes ( OR = 1.83, 1.67, 1.08, 3.65, P < 0.05), and men was an independent protective factor ( OR = 0.63, P = 0.039). The ROC curve results showed that total cholesterol and total cholesterol combined with glycated hemoglobin could distinguish patients with thyroid nodules from those without thyroid nodules, with AUC = 0.64 and 0.68, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of thyroid nodules in patients with type 2 diabetes is relatively high. Age, overweight and obesity, high glycated hemoglobin, and high total cholesterol are independent risk factors for thyroid nodules in patients with type 2 diabetes, and total cholesterol has the ability to distinguish patients with thyroid nodules.

Objective This study aims to examine the potential mechanism of Shenfu Yixin Granules on heart failure(HF)based on network pharmacology,molecular docking,and experimental verification.Methods(1)The active components of herbs in Shenfu Yixin Granules were screened and retrieved through the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP).PubChem database and Swiss Target Prediction platform were used to predict targets.GeneCards and OMIM databases were used to screen HF-related targets.The intersection of active ingredient targets of Shenfu Yixin Granules and HF-related targets was performed by using Venny 2.1.0 platform to obtain common targets,which were the potential targets for anti-HF effect of Shenfu Yixin Granules.The potential targets were imported into the STRING database to construct a protein-protein interaction(PPI)network and screen the core targets of Shenfu Yixin Granules for the treatment of HF.GO functional and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of potential targets were carried out by using DAVID database.AutoDock Vina software was used for molecular docking validation of key active ingredients and core targets.(2)SD rats were randomly allocated into sham operation group,model group,Shenfu Yixin Granules(5.28 g·kg-1)group,and positive control group(sacubitril-valsartan,20.8 mg·kg-1),with eight rats in each group.A rat model of HF after myocardial infarction was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery.The rats were subsequently administered orally with the corresponding drugs once daily for a period of four weeks.Cardiac function including left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and left ventricular fraction shortening(LVFS)in rats was assessed by echocardiography.Additionally,the histopathological alterations in rat heart tissue were examined using hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and Masson staining.The serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),artial natriuretic peptide(ANP),and aldosterone(ALD)were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Furthermore,real-time quantitative PCR and Western Blot were employed to detect mRNA and protein expressions of CAV1、F2 and MAPK1 in heart tissue.Results(1)A total of 210 active ingredients and 1 196 targets of Shenfu Yixin Granules,as well as 801 HF-related targets were obtained.Venny 2.1.0 platform was used to acquire 97 potential targets(common targets)of Shenfu Yixin Granules for the treatment of HF.Key active ingredients,such as quercetin,luteolin,arachidonic acid,kaempferol,and tanshinaldehyde were screened by"drugs-active ingredients-disease-targets"network analysis.The core targets including MAPK1、F2、CAV1、EDN1 and GJA1 were identified through PPI network analysis.The potential targets are mainly concentrated in multiple biological processes,namely,the positive regulation of gene expression,cardiac development,and the positive regulation of MAPK cascade,and involve multi key pathways including MAPK signaling pathway,HIF-1 signaling pathway and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway etc.Good binding activities were observed between MAPK1,CAV1,EDN1,F2 and quercetin,luteolin,kaempferol,tanshinaldehyde,as well as MAPK1,F2 and arachidonic acid.(2)Compared with sham operation group,LVEF and LVFS of rats significantly reduced(P＜0.01),heart mass index obviously increased(P＜0.05)in the model group.Myocardial tissue appears obvious pathological damage,and the degree of interstitial fibrosis was serious.The collagen volume fraction of the heart significantly increased(P＜0.01).The levels of serum BNP,ANP and ALD significantly increased(P＜0.01).The mRNA and protein expressions of CAV1、F2 and MAPK1 in heart tissue significantly increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,LVEF and LVFS of rats obviously increased(P＜0.01),but the decrease in heart mass index was not significant(P＞0.05)in Shenfu Yixin Granules group and positive control group.The pathological damage in myocardial tissues was significantly improved,the degree of interstitial fibrosis was significantly reduced.The collagen volume fraction of the heart significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The levels of serum BNP,ANP and ALD significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The mRNA and protein expressions of CAV1、F2 and MAPK1 in heart tissue significantly decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Shenfu Yixin Granules may improve heart function and myocardial fibrosis in heart failure rats through the interaction between the active ingredients(quercetin,luteolin,arachidonic acid,kaempferol,and tanshinaldehyde)and targets(MAPK1,F2,CAV-1,and EDN1),so as to regulate MAPK signaling pathway and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To comprehensively review the clinical research on the treatment of hyperlipidemia with traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)through the evidence mapping,and to understand the distribution of evidence in this field. Methods Databases including CNKI,Wangfang,VIP,SinoMed,PubMed,Cochrane Library,and Embase were searched from January 2004 to December 2023 to collect clinical studies,systematic reviews/meta-analyses,guidelines and clinical pathways related to the treatment of hyperlipidemia with TCM. The results were analyzed and displayed in charts and graphs according to the screening criteria,and the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR 2) tool and the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Chinese herbal medicine (PRISMA-CHM) were used to evaluate the quality of the systematic review/meta-analysis. Results A total of 1223 studies were included in the analysis according to Population,Intervention,Comparison,Outcome and Study design(PICOS) principles,involving 920 RCTs,249 non-RCTs,49 systematic reviews/meta-analyses,and 5 guidelines/expert consensus. In recent years,the overall number of clinical research publications has shown a downward trend. Hyperlipidemia frequently occurs in middle-aged and elderly people,and age of onset tends to be younger. The sample size of randomized controlled studies is mostly concentrated in 60-300 cases. There are many types of clinical treatment regimens for the treatment of hyperlipidemia with TCM,among which TCM decoction (50.13％) and Chinese patent medicine (38.41％) account for a relatively high proportion,and TCM exercise therapy (0.51％) is the lowest treatment. Jiangzhi Decoction has attracted more attention in trial group of TCM decoction,while Xuezhikang Capsule has attracted more attention in trial group of Chinese patent medicine. In terms of methodological design,199 papers(21.63％) explicitly mentioned the method of generating random sequence,17 papers(1.85％) mentioned allocation concealment,37 papers (4.02％) mentioned blinding. The control group was dominated by the statins,including simvastatin and atorvastatin. The outcome indicators mainly include the total effective rate,TCM syndrome score,blood lipid level,coagulation index,and adverse reactions,while the attention of TCM characteristic efficacy,inflammation,oxidative stress,and vascular endothelial index were low. The methodological and reporting quality of the systematic review/Meta-analysis were generally not high. AMSTAR-2 evaluation was extremely low,and the average PRISMA-CHM score was 15. Conclusion TCM has certain advantages in the treatment of hyperlipidemia,but there is a lack of high-quality evidence-based proof,and more high-quality clinical studies are still needed to further provide evidence supports in the future. It has been suggested that more large-sample and multi-center clinical studies should be carried out in the future. We should formulate systematic reviews/Meta analysis and guidelines/expert consensus according to the guidelines of clinical practice issues,also consult international standards and regulations,enhance normativity and reliability to improve the quality of their evidence.

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the effectiveness and potential mechanism of Erxian Decoction （二仙汤） for late-onset depression （LOD）. MethodsForty Wistar male rats of 7-8 weeks were divided into 20 each of normal group and youth depression group. Sixty Wistar male rats of 20 months were divided into 20 each of elder group， LOD group and Erxian Decoction group. The rats in youth depression group were modelled with chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS） for 6 weeks to build a depression model， and the elder rats in LOD group and Erxian Decoction group were modelled with CUMS for 6 weeks to build a LOD model， with no interventions in the normal group and the elder group. Gastric administration was carried out at the same time of modelling， rats in Erxian Decoction group were given 8 g/（kg·d） of Erxian Decoction by gavage， and rats in the normal group， youth depression group， elder group， and LOD group were given 4 ml/（kg·d） of pure water by gavage， for 6 weeks in each group. Sugar water preference experiment and forced swimming experiment were used to evaluate the depression-like behaviour of rats， absent field experiment was used to evaluate the spontaneous activity ability of rats， and T-maze experiment was used to evaluate the cognitive function of rats； Western blot assay was used to detect neuronal nuclei （NeuN）， nestin， doublecortin （DCX） in hippocampal tissue， and zonula occludens-l （ZO-1）， folate receptor α （FRα）， reduced folate carrier （RFC）， and protoncoupledfolate transporter （PCFT） protein expression in choroid plexus； immunofluorescence was used to detect the number of double-positive cells for Ki-67/nestin， the number of double-positive cells for 5-bromodeoxyuracil nucleoside （BrdU）/DCX in hippocampal dentate gyrus， and the protein expression of ZO-1， FRα， RFC， and PCFT in choroid plexus tissues； ELISA technique was used to detect plasma， cerebrospinal fluid， 5-methyltetrahydrofolate （5-MTHF） in hippocampal tissues； Pearson correlation analysis was used to correlate the 5-MTHF content in cerebrospinal fluid and hippocampal tissues and the expression of nestin， DCX， and NeuN proteins in hippocampal tissues of rats in youth depression group and LOD group. ResultsCompared with normal group， rats in youth depression group and LOD group showed reduced sugar water preference， reduced total distance travelled in the absent field， reduced number of times through the grid， prolonged forced swimming immobilisation， reduced hippocampal NeuN， nestin and DCX protein expression， reduced number of Ki-67/nestin double-positive cells in hippocampal dentate gyrus， reduced number of BrdU/DCX double-positive cells in hippocampal dentate gyrus， and reduced expression of ZO-1 and FRα proteins and fluorescence intensity （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； the correct rate of T-maze on days 3 and 4 in the rats of youth depression group and on days 2 to 4 in the rats of LOD group significantly decreased， and the content of 5-MTHF in the cerebrospinal fluid and hippocampal tissues of the rats of LOD group significantly decreased as well （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with youth depression group， rats in LOD group showed a decrease in total distance travelled in absenteeism， number of times through the grid， a significant decrease in the correct rate of the T-maze on day 1-4， a decrease in NeuN， nestin， DCX protein expression of hippocampal tissue and the number of Ki-67/nestin double-positive cells， BrdU/DCX double-positive cells of hippocampal dentate gyrus （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with LOD group， rats in Erxian Decoction group had elevated sugar-water preference and total distance travelled in absenteeism and number of times through the grid， shorter forced swimming immobility time， significantly higher correct rate of the T-maze on day 3-4， elevated expression of NeuN， nestin， and DCX proteins in hippocampal tissues， increased number of Ki-67/nestin double-positive cells and BrdU/DCX double-positive cells in hippocampal dentate gyrus， and increased 5-MTHF content in cerebrospinal fluid and hippocampal， and ZO-1， FRα， RFC， PCFT protein expression and fluorescence intensity increased in choroid plexus （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between 5-MTHF content in cerebrospinal fluid （r = 0.466）， hippocampal tissue （r = 0.522） and nestin expression in hippocampal tissue （P＜0.05）. ConclusionErxian Decoction could improve depressive-like behaviour and cognitive impairment in LOD model rats， and its mechanism may promote hippocampal neurogenesis by alleviating structural damage to the choroid plexus of the brain tissue， and improving impaired choroid plexus folate transport.

Objective To investigate the effect of Ba Bao Dan(BBD)on cardiac injury induced by doxorubicin in zebrafish.Methods We induced a zebrafish myocardial injury model using the chemotherapeutic drug,doxorubicin.We then examined the effects of different concentrations of BBD on pericardial edema and heart rate under an in vivo microscope.We also examined the inhibitory effects of BBD on neutrophil infiltration in the heart in Tg(mpx:EGFP)transgenic zebrafish.The impacts of BBD on superoxide dismutase,catalase,and malondialdehyde were observed.mRNA expression levels of ferroptosis-related factors,including glutathione peroxidase 4a(gpx4a),prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2(ptgs2),arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase(alox5a),and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4(acsl4)were determined by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The accumulation of ferrous ions in zebrafish heart was assessed using a fluorescent probe for ferrous ions.Results BBD alleviated doxorubicin-induced pericardial edema and bradycardia in zebrafish,reduced neutrophil infiltration in the heart(P＜0.05),decreased malondialdehyde concentration(P＜0.05),and enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase(P＜0.05).BBD also significantly inhibited ferroptosis,reduced the accumulation of ferrous ions in the zebrafish heart,suppressed the expression of ptgs2,alox5a,and acsl4(P＜0.05),and promoted the expression of gpx4a(P＜0.05).Conclusions BBD can attenuate doxorubicin-induced zebrafish myocardial injury and improve cardiac function by inhibiting lipid peroxidation and regulating ferroptosis.
