OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of different daily doses of aspirin in the prevention of preeclampsia （PE）. METHODS The case-control studies and prospective randomized controlled trials on aspirin with daily dose ≥ 100 mg （trial group） vs. ＜100 mg （control group） in the prevention of PE were retrieved from PubMed， Medline， Embase， the Cochrane Library， CNKI， China Biomedical Literatue Database and Wanfang Data from base-building to January 2025. After literature screening， data extraction and quality evaluation， meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 11 literatures were included， involving 3 052 pregnant women. Meta-analysis showed the incidence of PE [RR＝0.63， 95%CI （0.53，0.76）， P＜0.000 01]， gestational hypertension [RR＝0.69， 95%CI （0.50，0.94），P＝0.02]， preterm birth [RR＝0.56， 95%CI （0.47，0.66）， P＜0.000 01]， and intrauterine growth retardation [RR＝0.73，95%CI （0.61，0.87），P＝0.000 5] in trial groups were significantly lower than control group. The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage between the two groups had no statistically significant difference [RR＝1.17， 95%CI （0.90，1.53），P＝0.25]. Subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of PE in Chinese pregnant women taking 150 mg of aspirin was significantly higher than taking 100 mg of aspirin [RR＝3.40， 95%CI （1.29， 8.93）， P＝0.01]； but there was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidences of postpartum hemorrhage， preterm birth （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Aspirin with daily dose ≥100 mg is more effective in preventing PE than daily dose ＜100 mg， with lower rates of gestational hypertension， preterm birth， and intrauterine growth retardation. It does not increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. For pregnant women in China， daily dose 100 mg of aspirin may be more effective in preventing PE than 150 mg.

This study aims to observe the effect of Panax notoginseng extracts on inflammatory re-sponse in immunosuppressed broilers and to investigate the mechanism through network pharma-cology and molecular docking combined with in vivo animal tests.Based on the TCMSP database and GeneCard and other disease databases,we searched for targets related to Panax notoginseng and broiler inflammation,screened key compounds and targets by applying Cytoscape 3.7.1 and String databases,respectively,and constructed a network relationship diagram of traditional Chi-nese medicine(TCM)-key components-targets,and carried out GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses by using the DAVID platform.The GO functional enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were carried out by the DAVID platform,visual-ized by the Chiplot online website,and finally,the core clustered proteins were analyzed by Pymol software to obtain the core targets,and molecular docking technology was used to predict the de-gree of matching between the active ingredients and the core targets as well as the animal experi-ments to further explore the pharmacological mechanism of Panax notoginseng extracts.Sixty 1-day-old red-feathered broilers were randomly divided into three groups(LPS group,CON group,and PN group),and the test period was 35 days.The LPS and PN groups were injected intraperito-neally with 250 μg/kg body weight of LPS,and the CON group was injected with an equal amount of sterile physiological saline on the 12,14,33,and 35 d.The LPS and PN groups were injected with 250 μg/kg body weight of LPS,and the CON group was injected with an equal amount of sterile physiological saline.The effect of Panax notoginseng extract on inflammatory cytokines in serum was detected by ELISA,and the hormone content in serum was also detected in each group,and fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the effect of each group on the mRNA ex-pression levels of STAT3,IL-6,and CASP3.The results showed that the serum levels of IFN-γ,IL-6,iNOS,TNF-α,and TNF-β were significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the level of IL-10 was significantly decreased(P＜0.05)after LPS tapping at weeks 2 and 5.The serum levels of IFN-y,IL-6,iNOS,TNF-α,and TNF-β were significantly decreased(P＜0.05)and IL-10 was sig-nificantly increased(P＜0.05)by the addition of Panax ginseng extracts to the basal diet com-pared with the LPS group.Panax notoginseng extracts significantly decreased the serum levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH)and corticosterone(CORT)(P＜0.05)and increased the levels of growth hormone(GH)(P＜0.05).A total of 8 active ingredients and 123 potential tar-gets for broiler inflammation were predicted by network pharmacology.The protective mechanism of Panax notoginseng against broiler inflammation may be related to the C-type lectin receptor(CLR)signaling pathway,Toll-like receptor(TLR)signaling pathway,MAPK signaling pathway,NOD-like receptor(NLR)signaling pathway,and FoxO signaling pathway.According to the pre-diction,the alleviation of inflammatory response in broiler chickens by Panax notoginseng may be related to the action on 12 key targets.Fluorescence quantitative PCR showed that Panax notogin-seng extract down-regulated the mRNA expression of IL-6 and CASP3(P＜0.05)and up-regula-ted that of STAT3(P＜0.05),and molecular docking results also showed that the active ingredi-ents in Panax notoginseng extracts could exert anti-inflammatory effects through IL-6 and CASP3.The results suggested that Panax quinquefolium extracts might alleviate the inflammatory response of immune-stressed broilers through multi-components,multi-targets,and multi-path-ways,and this study helps propose new therapeutic strategies and provides a theoretical basis for the development of feed additives based on Penthorum chinense Pursh extract.

Objective:To explore the survival prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients over 60 years old with comorbidities treated with microwave ablation.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 267 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma aged 60 years or older admitted to the PLA General Hospital from April 2012 to September 2022 were analyzed, including 179 patients with preoperative comorbidities and 88 patients without comorbidities. The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of the two groups were compared by the Log-rank test, and the Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to evaluate ablation-related risk factors.Results:A total of 267 patients were included (comorbidity group, n=179; no comorbidity group, n=88). There were no statistical differences in OS and PFS between the two groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that comorbidities were not risk factors that affected the survival prognosis (OS and PFS) of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after microwave ablation ( P>0.05). Total bilirubin (hazard ratio 0.356, 95% CI=0.174-0.731, P=0.005) was a risk factor affecting OS; tumor number (hazard ratio 0.538, 95% CI=0.365-0.793, P=0.002) and international coagulation normalized ratio (hazard ratio 1.022, 95% CI=1.001-1.043, P=0.040) were risk factors affecting PFS. Subgroup analysis showed that patients with a maximum diameter of >3 cm and female patients, the OS of the comorbidity group was significantly lower than that of the non-comorbidity group( P<0.05). Conclusions:Microwave ablation therapy remains an effective treatment modality in hepatocellular carcinoma patients over 60 years of age with comorbidities, and its survival prognosis is not inferior to patients with hepatocellular carcinoma without comorbidities.

The antigen gene expression level of a DNA vaccine is the key factor influencing the efficacy of the DNA vaccine. Accordingly, one of the ways to improve the antigen gene expression level of a DNA vaccine is to utilize a plasmid vector that is replicable in eukaryotic cells. A replicative DNA vaccine vector pCMVori was constructed based on the non-replicative pcDNA3.1 and the replicon of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) in this study. An EGFP gene was cloned into pCMVori and the control plasmid pcDNA3.1. The two recombinant vectors were transfected into PK-15 cell, and the plasmid DNA and RNA were extracted from the transfected cells. Real-time PCR was used to determine the plasmid replication efficiency of the two plasmids using plasmid before and after Bcl Ⅰ digestion as templates, and the transcription level of the Rep gene in PCV2 replicon was detected by RT-PCR. The average fluorescence intensity of cells transfected with the two plasmids was analyzed with software Image J, and the transcription level of EGFP was determined by means of real-time RT-PCR. The results showed that the replication efficiency of pCMVori in PK-15 cells incubated for 48 h was 136%, and the transcriptions of Rep and Rep' were verified by RT-PCR. The average fluorescence intensity of the cells transfected with pCMVori-EGFP was 39.14% higher than that of pcDNA3.1-EGFP, and the transcription level of EGFP in the former was also 40% higher than that in the latter. In conclusion, the DNA vaccine vector pCMVori constructed in this study can independently replicate in eukaryotic cells. As a result, the expression level of cloned target gene was elevated, providing a basis for developing the pCMVori-based DNA vaccine.

Objective:To investigate the changes in adaptive phenotypes of Yersinia pestis ( Yp) during successive passages in macrophages. Methods:A Yp strain of 201-MI was induced by 50 successive passages of Yp 201 strain in Raw264.7 cells. Phenotypic characteristics of 201 and 201-MI strains were compared by analyzing their survival rates in macrophages, growth curves, biofilm formation abilities, acid and hydrogen peroxide-stress tolerance, and virulence to mammal cells (Raw264.7 and HeLa cells) and mice. Results:Comparing with 201 strain, 201-MI strain showed various phenotypic changes, including higher survival rate in Raw264.7 cells, faster growth in iron-deficient medium, higher tolerance to acid and hydrogen peroxide, decreased biofilm formation ability, and less damages to Raw264.7 and HeLa cells. More-over, 201-MI strain showed decreased virulence to mice in both subcutaneous and intraperitoneal challenges. Preliminary comparative genomics analysis revealed some indel and nonsense mutations in 201-MI strain, which might account for its phenotype changes.Conclusions:After successive passages in macrophages, Yp showed some phenotypic changes, which might reflect its adaptive evolution under the pressure of macrophages. Detailed multi-omics analysis would be of great help to understand the underlying genetic mechanisms of these changes, and the related Yp-macrophage interaction processes as well.
