Objective: To explore the active components, key targets, and mechanism of action of turnip in alleviating pulmonary fibrosis(PF) based on network pharmacology and animal experiments. Methods: The active components and targets of Brassica rapa L. were screened using the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform database, and PF-related targets were obtained from disease databases such as online mendelian inheritance of man(OMIM) and DrugBank. The intersection targets were used to construct a protein-protein interaction(PPI) network to identify core targets, followed by gene oncology(GO)/Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. In the animal experiments, a bleomycin-induced PF mouse model was established. Pathological changes in lung tissue were evaluated using HE and Masson staining. qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K), and akstrain transforming 1(AKT1), and immunofluorescence staining was used to measure the protein expression of TNF-α, PI3K, and AKT1. Results: The 68 active components identified in Brassica rapa L. may regulate PI3K-Akt signaling pathway by acting on 89 potential targets such as TNF-α and AKT1. The results of animal experiments showed that polysaccharide of Brassica rapa L.(BRPs) could significantly reduce the degree of bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice; HE and Masson staining of lung tissue showed that compared with the model group, the damage of alveolar structure, the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the deposition of collagen fibers in the BRPs treatment group were significantly reduced. Further mechanism studies showed that BRPs could significantly down-regulate the mRNA and protein expression levels of TNF-α, PI3K and AKT1 in lung tissue of pulmonary fibrosis mice. Conclusion Brassica rapa L. can synergistically alleviate pulmonary fibrosis through “multi-component, multi-target and multi-channel” approach; BRPs is one of the main active components, and plays an anti-fibrosis role by inhibiting TNF-α/PI3K Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in healthcare facilities in major regions of China in 2023.Methods Clinical isolates collected from 73 hospitals across China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2023 Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoints.Results A total of 445199 clinical isolates were collected in 2023,of which 29.0％ were gram-positive and 71.0％ were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species (excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi) (MRSA,MRSE and MRCNS) was 29.6％,81.9％ and 78.5％,respectively.Methicillin-resistant strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents than methicillin-susceptible strains (MSSA,MSSE and MSCNS).Overall,92.9％ of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 91.4％ of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis had significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 93.1％ in the isolates from children and and 95.9％ in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 15.0％ for most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,22.5％ and 23.6％ of which were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively .Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.6％ to 10.0％.The resistance rate to imipenem and meropenem was 21.9％ and 17.4％ for Pseudomonas aeruginosa,respectively,and 67.5％ and 68.1％ for Acinetobacter baumannii,respectively.Conclusions Increasing resistance to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still observed in clinical bacterial isolates.However,the prevalence of important crabapenem-resistant organisms such as crabapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a slightly decreasing trend.This finding suggests that strengthening bacterial resistance surveillance and multidisciplinary linkage are important for preventing the occurrence and development of bacterial resistance.

Resection of oral and maxillofacial tumors is often accompanied by the inferior alveolar nerve neurectomy, resulting in abnormal sensation in lower lip. It is generally believed that spontaneous sensory recovery in this nerve injury is difficult. However, during our follow-up, patients with inferior alveolar nerve sacrifice showed different degrees of lower lip sensory recovery. In this study, a prospective cohort study was conducted to demonstrate this phenomenon and analyze the factors influencing sensory recovery. A mental nerve transection model of Thy1-YFP mice and tissue clearing technique were used to explore possible mechanisms in this process. Gene silencing and overexpression experiments were then conducted to detect the changes in cell morphology and molecular markers. In our follow-up, 75% of patients with unilateral inferior alveolar nerve neurectomy had complete sensory recovery of the lower lip 12 months postoperatively. Patients with younger age, malignant tumors, and preservation of ipsilateral buccal and lingual nerves had a shorter recovery time. The buccal nerve collateral sprouting compensation was observed in the lower lip tissue of Thy1-YFP mice. ApoD was demonstrated to be involved in axon growth and peripheral nerve sensory recovery in the animal model. TGF-β inhibited the expression of STAT3 and the transcription of ApoD in Schwann cells through Zfp423. Overall, after sacrificing the inferior alveolar nerve, the collateral compensation of the ipsilateral buccal nerve could innervate the sensation. And this process was regulated by TGF-β-Zfp423-ApoD pathway.

Aim To investigate the effects of Dexmedetomidine(DEX)on HT22 cells with hypoxia/reoxygenation based on ferroptosis and the underlying mechanism.Methods HT22 cells were used to prepare H/R injury model.In order to investigate the optimal concentration of DEX, cells were divided into five groups: control group, H/R group, low concentration(H/R+DEX2.5, 2.5 μmol·L-1), medium concentration(H/R+DEX5, 5 μmol·L-1), high concentration(H/R+DEX10, 10 μmol·L-1)DEX intervention H/R group, and the survival rates of cells were detected by MTT assay.To investigate the mechanism of the protective effects on HT22 cells with H/R injury, HT22 cells were divided into four groups: control group, H/R group, H/R+DEX5 group, and H/R+DEX5 +ML385 group.The survival rates of cells were detected by MTT assay; the levels of Fe2+ were detected by FerroOrange fluorescent probe; the C11BODIPY581/591 was used to detect the change of lipid ROS on the cells; MDA and reduced glutathione kits were used to detect the content of MDA and GSH of cells respectively.The expressions of Nrf2, GPX4, TFR1 and SLC7A11 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with control group, the survival rate of cells, the content of GSH, and the expression of Nrf2, GPX4 and SLC7A11 all significantly decreased(all P<0.05), the level of lipid ROS, the content of MDA, the level of Fe2+, and the expression of TFR1 all significantly increased in H/R group(all P<0.01).Compared with H/R group, the survival rate of cells, the content of GSH, and the expression of Nrf2, GPX4 and SLC7A11 significantly increased(all P<0.05), the level of lipid ROS, the content of MDA, the level of Fe2+, and the expression of TFR1 significantly decreased with the treatment of DEX(all P<0.05).Compared with H/R+DEX group, the survival rate of cells, the content of GSH, and the expression of Nrf2, GPX4 and SLC7A11 markedly decreased(all P<0.05), the lipid ROS, MDA and Fe2+, and the expression of TFR1 significantly increased in H/R+DEX+ML385 group(all P<0.05).Conclusions DEX can reduce H/R injury on HT22 cells by inhibiting ferroptosis, and the mechanism might be related to the promotive expression of Nrf2.

Objective:To analyze and compare the dosimetric differences based on volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT), fixed field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (F_IMRT), and electron irradiation combined with VMAT (E&VMAT) in radiotherapy for breast cancer after modified mastectomy, aiming to provide reference for clinical selection of treatment plan.Methods:Ten patients with the left breast cancer who received radiotherapy after modified mastectomy were randomly selected. The target areas included chest wall and supraclavicular region, and the prescribed dose was 43.5 Gy in 15 fractions (2.9 Gy/F). Based on the Pinnacle 3 planning system, the VMAT, F_IMRT and E&VMAT plans (electron beam for chest wall, VMAT for supraclavicular area) were designed for each patient. The conformity and homogeneity of the target areas, the dose of organs at risk and treatment time were compared. Results:The VMAT plan could improve the dose distribution of the target areas. The conformity index and homogeneity index of the target dose were significantly better than those of the F_IMRT and E&VMAT plans (all P<0.05). The average dose, V 30Gy, V 20Gy, V 10Gy of the left lung in the VMAT plan were significantly better than those in the F_IMRT and E&VMAT plans (all P<0.05). The V 5Gy of the left lung in the VMAT plan was significantly better than that in the F_IMRT plan ( P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the V 5Gy of the left lung between the VMAT and E&VMAT plans ( P>0.05). The heart, right breast and right lung of the VMAT plan could meet the clinical dose limit requirements. The treatment time of the VMAT, F_IMRT and E&VMAT plans was (326±27) s, (1 082±169) s, and (562±48) s, respectively. Conclusions:Compared with the F_IMRT and E&VMAT plans, the VMAT plan has better quality and shorter treatment time. VMAT plan has higher value in clinical application compared with the F_IMRT and E&VMAT plans.

OBJECTIVE：To evaluate the benefit and risk of tirofiban in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome （ACS），and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical drug selection and decision. METHODS ：Retrieved from domestic and foreign database as PubMed ，the Cochrane Library ，CNKI and Wanfang database ，during the establishment of database to Apr. 2020，two researcher independently screened the literature based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and extracted the data. After the quality evaluation of the included literatures ，based on rapid health technology assessment ，the extracted results were classifiedly evaluated and comprehensively analyzed. RESULTS ：A total of 13 researches of systematic review/Meta-analysis and 1 research of pharmacoeconomics were included. Compared with placebo ，tirofiban could significantly reduce all-cause mortality [OR ＝0.68， 95％CI（0.54，0.86），P＝0.000 1] and the incidence of major adverse cardiac events （MACE）in patients with ACS [RR ＝0.24， 95％CI（0.14，0.40），P＜0.01]，and increased the incidence of TIMI 3 [OR＝5.73，95％CI（2.99.10.97），P＜0.01]. Tirofiban and eptifibatide had similar therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of ACS ，but tirofiban significantly increased the risk of TIMI small bleeding in patients with ACS [RR ＝0.61，95％CI（0.38，0.98），P＝0.04]. For ACS patients with non-ST elevation （NSTE-ACS）， compared with placbo ，tirofiban significantly reduced the incidence of MACE [RR ＝0.76，95％ CI（0.61，0.96），P＝0.018]，but significantly increased the risk of bleeding [OR ＝1.49，95％CI（1.12，1.98），P＝0.006]，while there was no significant difference in its effects on the all-cause mortality of NSTE-ACS patients （P＞0.05）. For STEMI patients ，compared with placebo ，tirofiban significantly reduced the all-cause mortality [RR＝0.61，95％CI（0.35，1.05），P＝0.007] and the incidence of MACE [RR ＝0.63，95％ CI（0.44，0.90），P＝0.007]. When combined with liposuction ，tirofiban also significantly reduced the incidence of MACE [RR ＝ 2.05，95％CI（1.71，2.46），P＜0.01]，and significantly increased the incidence of TIMI 3 [OR＝3.18，95％ CI（2.4，4.22），P＜ 0.01]，but there was no significant difference in its effects on bleeding risk （P＞0.05）. The included pharmacoeconomic study showed that patients treated with bivalutine could get 10.07 QALYs，patients treated with heparin combined with tirofiban could get 9.98 QALYs，and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio bivalutine compared to the latter one was 28 575.77 yuan/QALYs，which was lower than 3 times of the per capita GDP of some cities. CONCLUSIONS ：Tirofiban has good efficacy in the treatment of ACS，but it can increase the risk of bleeding than eptifibatide and placebo. Domestic bivalirudin treating for ACS has a cost-effectiveness advantage over tirofiban combined with heparin.
