Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors with high incidence and mortality rates worldwide, which brings a huge burden to the physical and mental health and socio-economic life of patients. The adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway serves as the regulatory center of cellular energy metabolism and is closely associated with the biological activities of HCC cells, including autophagy, apoptosis, and angiogenesis, and it has become a hot topic in current cancer research. Traditional Chinese medicine drugs are abundant in natural components such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and phenols and have the characteristics of multiple targets, pathways, components, and hierarchies. By targeting the AMPK signaling pathway, these components can be used alone or in combination with conventional antitumor therapies to exert an anti-tumor effect on HCC from various aspects. This article reviews and summarizes the extracts of traditional Chinese medicine that target the AMPK signaling pathway for the prevention and treatment of HCC, in order to provide a theoretical basis and a reference for the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of HCC and the development of related drugs.

Objectives:To investigate the rate and risk factors of tip displacement of umbilical venous catheterization (UVC) in preterm infants.Methods:This was a multicenter cohort study. Study population were preterm infants admitted to 44 tertiary hospitals in China between October 2019 and August 2021. Demographic information, general clinical data, UVC indwelling conditions and related complications were collected. The primary outcome was the rate of UVC tip displacement. The observation time points were 2 d and 7 d after UVC. They were grouped according to UVC displacement, gestational age, and birth weight. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of UVC tip displacement.Results:The 2 086 preterm infants had a gestational age of (29.9±2.3) weeks and a birth weight of (1 248±298) g. There were 1 106 male preterm infants (53.0%). The rate of UVC displacement at 2 d and 7 d were 34.6% (721/2 086) and 33.6% (494/1 470), respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.35, P=0.533). Univariate analysis indicated that male infants, small gestational age, low birth weight and small catheter diameter were all risk factors for UVC tip displacement at the 2 d time point (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that small catheter diameter was an independent risk factor for tip displacement at both 2 d ( OR=0.47, 95% CI 0.34-0.66) and 7 d ( OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.25-0.59) time points (both P<0.001). Conclusions:The rate of UVC tip displacement is high in preterm infants. It should be avoided to deliberately select a small diameter catheter for UVC, and pay attention to the imaging monitoring of the tip position after UVC.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of umbilical venous catheterization (UVC) by using different methods to estimate the insertion depth.Methods:PubMed, Embase and The Cochrane Library, CBM (SinoMed), CNKI, VIP Database, Wanfang Database and Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database were electronically searched for literature on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing different methods for estimating the insertion depth of UVC. The search period was from the establishment date of the above databases to April 15th, 2022. If 2 or more studies were available for each pairwise comparison, a meta-analysis was conducted using the RevMan 5.3 software. However, if only 1 study was included for each pairwise comparison, SPSS 26.0 statistical software is used for statistical analysis using the chi-square test.Results:A total of 9 RCTs were included in the final meta-analysis, with a total of 1 281 infants, using 6 methods for estimating the depth of UVC. Compared with the Shukla formula, the Dunn method showed a statistically significant improvement in the correct place rate at the first UVC attempt ( RR=1.27, 95% CI 1.09-1.47, P=0.002). When comparing the Dunn method with the revised Shukla formula, the difference in the correct place rate at the first UVC attempt was statistically significant (21.4% vs. 33.5%, χ2=7.24, P=0.007). There was no statistically significant difference in the correct place rate at the first UVC attempt between the Dunn method and the formula based on BW, the JSS formula and the revised Shukla formula, and the method based on anatomical marks and the Shukla formula. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of UVC complications between the Dunn method and the Shukla formula, and between the method based on anatomical marks and the Shukla formula. Conclusions:Comparing to Shukla formula, Dunn method has a higher correct place rate at the first attempt. The incidence of complications is similar between the different pairwise comparison methods.

Objective:To investigate frailty in older patients with comorbidities and explore related risk factors.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted with an enrollment of 746 patients aged 65 years or older with comorbidities in the Wanshoulu Road area of Beijing from April 2019 to December 2020.A total of 617 patients with comorbidities were finally included, aged(85.6±4.8)years, including 358 women(58.0%); According to the FRAIL scale, 617 patients with comorbidities were divided into a frail group(156 cases, 25.3%)and a non-frail group(461 cases, 74.7%). Demographic data and information on comorbidities were collected.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses of risk factors were conducted.Results:Among 617 patients with comorbidities, the common chronic diseases in descending order were hypertension(497 cases, 80.6%), coronary heart disease(375 cases, 60.8%), osteoporosis(357 cases, 57.9%), osteoarthritis(281 cases, 45.5%), type 2 diabetes(211 cases, 34.2%), stroke and/or transient ischemic attack(193 cases, 31.3%), chronic lung disease(144 cases, 23.3%), tumor(133 cases, 21.6%), chronic kidney disease(92 cases, 14.9%), and heart failure(58 cases, 9.4%). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, heart failure, chronic lung disease, stroke/transient ischemic attack, cancer and osteoarthritis were influencing factors for frailty( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, type 2 diabetes, heart failure, chronic lung disease, cancer and osteoarthritis were risk factors for frailty( OR=1.076, 1.806, 3.275, 3.371, 1.640, 2.227, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Old age, type 2 diabetes, heart failure, chronic lung disease, tumor and osteoarthritis are closely related to frailty in elderly patients with comorbidities.Proactive and effective prevention and intervention should be instituted to target risk factors for frailty to reduce the occurrence of adverse outcomes.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of organophosphate-solubilizing bacteria and compound bacteria on the photosynthesis and physiological and biochemical characteristics of leaves of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis, and to provide a reference for selecting suitable bacterial fertilizers in artificial cultivation of this medicinal species. MethodPot experiment was carried out indoor and the following groups were designed: control (CK), inoculation with Bacillus mycoides (S1), inoculation with B. wiedmannii (S2), inoculation with B. proteolyticus (S3), inoculation with B. mycoides and B. wiedmannii (S4), inoculation with B. mycoides and B. proteolyticus (S5), inoculation with B. wiedmannii and B. proteolyticus (S6), and inoculation with B. mycoides, B. wiedmannii and B. proteolyticus (S7). Then, the growth and development, photosynthesis, and various physiological and biochemical indexes of the leaves of this species were observed. ResultCompared with CK, the treatment groups showed decrease in content of malondialdehyde in the leaves (P<0.05), particularly S7 (content was only about 1/3 that of the CK). The leaf area, photosynthetic parameters, photosynthetic pigment content, soluble sugar content, soluble protein content, and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) in leaves of the treatment groups were all improved. Among them, the leaf area, soluble sugar content, and soluble protein content were the highest in S7, which were 2.8, 2.1, and 2.2 times that of the CK, respectively. SOD activity peaked in S6 (2.9 times higher than that in the CK) and the highest activity of POD and CAT was detected in S5 (1.5 times and 2.1 times, respectively higher than that in the CK). ConclusionInoculation with different organophosphate-solubilizing bacteria or compound bacteria can promote the growth and development of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis and improve its resistance to stresses. The combination of B. mycoides and B. proteolyticus and the combination of the three achieved the have the best effect. This study provides a reference for the selection of bacterial fertilizers for artificial cultivation of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis.
