Breast cancer is a kind of malignant tumor with a complex mechanism， and its morbidity and mortality are increasing year by year， which seriously threatens women's health. At present， the main clinical treatments are surgical resection， radiotherapy， chemotherapy， and drug therapy， but they are often accompanied by side effects and adverse reactions， which affect the therapeutic effect. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has the advantages of multi-component and multi-target treatment in the fight against breast cancer. The wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is one of the classic pathways in cancer research. Abnormally activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway inhibits β-catenin degradation by blocking the formation of Axin/glycogen synthase kinase 3β/adenomatous polyposis coli complex， thus promoting β-catenin nuclear metastasis， and it binds to T cell transcription factor/lymphoenhancer factor-1 to initiate downstream target genes and further interfere with the proliferation， migration， and invasion of tumor cells to affect the tumor process. Previous studies have shown that TCM monomers and compounds can mediate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to inhibit the malignant phenotype of breast cancer cells， thus playing an anti-breast cancer role， and the biochemical process involved in the regulation of therapeutic drugs has not been systematically combed. By analyzing and collating Chinese and foreign literature at the present stage， this paper discussed the association mechanism between Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and breast cancer and analyzed the internal mechanism of TCM monomers and compounds in mediating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to exert anti-breast cancer effect. The statistical results showed that the flavonoids， alkaloids， and terpenoids in TCM monomers could target the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and block the further development of malignant phenotype of breast cancer cells. TCM compounds with functions of clearing heat and detoxifying， promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis， and tonifying kidney and liver were commonly used to intervene in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to prevent breast cancer. Compared with the current inhibitors of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway， the application of TCM monomers and compounds is expected to bring low-toxicity and high-efficiency breast cancer treatment drugs to the clinical practice， and the existing results provide a reference for the subsequent screening， research， and development of TCM small-molecule compounds and TCM compounds against breast cancer.

Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease(CHD)is an ischemic cardiovascular condition caused by the narrowing or blockage of the vascular lumen due to coronary atherosclerosis.Clinically,it presents as angina pectoris,heart failure,or sud-den cardiac death,and stands as one of the primary causes of mortality among both urban and rural populations in China.Cir-cRNA,classified as non-coding RNAs,can function as upstream regulatory molecules for miRNA or RNA-binding proteins.They actively participate in various pathological processes associated with CHD,including endothelial cell dysfunction,smooth mus-cle cell migration,macrophage-derived foam cell formation,an-giogenesis,myocardial injury,and repair,as well as post-in-farction heart failure.The expression pattern of these molecules is highly specific to the illness and tissue,indicating their poten-tial as therapeutic targets for disease management and as biomar-kers.Furthermore,they also open up new avenues for drug tar-get development in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.This article aims to provide an overview of the recent research progress on circRNA in the regulation of coronary heart disease,as well as the mechanisms involved in traditional Chinese medi-cine.It serves as a valuable reference for future research on cor-onary heart disease.

Objective:To compare the effects of enhanced heat preservation strategies and conventional heat preservation strategies in the operation room on body temperature, coagulation function, and myocardial injury in patients with cervical spinal cord injuries.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 160 patients with cervical spinal cord injuries admitted to Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University and Affiliated Honghui Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from February to October 2022, including 82 males and 78 females, aged 38-64 years [(50.6±8.7)years]. Injured segments included C 3 in 19 patients, C 4 in 33, C 5 in 39, C 6 in 38, and C 7 in 31. According to American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) classification, 10 patients were classified into grade A, 83 grade B, 39 grade C, and 28 grade D. All the patients underwent cervical laminoplasty, decompression and bone graft fusion surgery. According to different heat preservation strategies intraoperatively, the patients were divided into conventional heat preservation group ( n=80) and enhanced heat preservation group ( n=80). The body temperature changes before surgery, at 2 hours during surgery, immediately after surgery, at 2 and 24 hours after surgery were compared between the two groups. The changes of coagulation function before surgery and at 4 hours after surgery were compared between the two groups, including the prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). The incidence of myocardial injury and the number of patients with myocardial injury measured by the indicators of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) at 48 hours after surgery. Before surgery and at 14 days after surgery, ASIA classification was used to evaluate the neurological functions, including sensory and motor functions between the two groups. The incidence of cardiovascular events at 12 months after surgery were compared between the two groups. Results:A total of 145 patients were followed up for 12-18 months [(15.7±1.6)months]. At 12 months after operation, there were 7 patients in the enhanced heat preservation group were lost to follow-up, compared to 8 patients in the conventional heat preserration group. There was no statistically significant difference in body temperature between the two groups before surgery or at 24 hours after surgery ( P>0.05). At 2 hours during surgery, immediately after surgery and at 2 hours after surgery, the body temperature was (36.90±0.12)℃, (37.00±0.06)℃, and (37.16±0.06)℃ in the enhanced heat preservation group, which were significantly higher than those in the conventional heat preservation group [(36.56±0.03)℃, (36.74±0.08)℃, and (36.84±0.08)℃] ( P<0.01). The serum levels of PT, TT and APTT were not significantly different between the two groups before surgery ( P>0.05), while they were (13.1±1.2)seconds, (19.2±1.1)seconds, and (36.2±3.3)seconds in the enhanced heat preservation group at 4 hours after surgery, which were significantly lower than those in the conventional heat preservation group [(14.3±1.0)seconds, (20.2±1.1)seconds, and (38.7±3.4)seconds] ( P<0.01). The incidence of myocardial injury in the enhanced heat preservation group was 5.0% (4/80) at 48 hours after surgery, which was lower than 12.5% (12/80) in the conventional heat preservation group ( P<0.05). With cTnI as the indicator of myocardial injury, there were 2 patients [2.6%(2/76)] with myocardial injury in the enhanced heat preservation group, which was much lower than 8 patients [11.8%(8/68)] in the conventional heat preservation group ( P<0.05). With hs-cTnT as the indicator of myocardial injury, 8 patients [10.5%(8/76)] in the enhanced heat preservation group experienced myocardial injury, similar with 10 patients [14.7%(10/68)] in the conventional heat preservation group ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the ASIA scores of the sensory and motor functions between the two groups before surgery and at 14 days after surgery ( P>0.05). The incidence of cardiovascular events at 12 months after surgery in the conventional heat preservation group was 27.8% (20/72), which was significantly higher than 9.6% (7/73) in the enhanced heat preservation group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:For patients with cervical spinal cord injuries, compared with conventional heat preservation strategies, the enhanced heat preservation strategies in the operating room can improve the patients′ core body temperature and coagulation function, and significantly reduce the incidence of myocardial injury and cardiovascular events.

Objective To improve the efficiency of hospital antimicrobial management and ensure rational clinical use of antimicrobial agents with the aid of antimicrobial stewardship(AMS)empowered by digital intelligence tech-nology in hospital.Methods Information systems such as early warning of antimicrobial indexes,closed-loop ma-nagement of microbial detection information,and decision-making system of antimicrobial resistance monitoring data were applied to the traditional AMS system.Through hospital information systems(HIS)to collect data about thera-peutic antimicrobial use and healthcare-associated infection(HAI)quality control indexes of hospitalized patients in a tertiary first-class public hospital in Shenzhen City before and after digital technology improvement,indexes of 2021 and 2022 were as control group(before improvement)and observation group(after improvement)respective-ly,improvement trend of antimicrobial management was compared.Results After upgrading and renovating the hospital information system,hospital antimicrobial management indexes improved significantly compared to before the renovation.The use rate of antimicrobial agents and the preventive use rate of antimicrobial agents in class Ⅰincision surgery in patients in the observation group were both lower than those in the control group(27.0％vs 38.8％,20.9％vs 23.8％,respectively,both P＜0.05).Antimicrobial use density in hospitalized patients in the observa-tion group was lower than that in the control group([33.27±3.03]DDDs vs[42.06±4.42]DDDs),difference was statistically significant(t=13.11,P＜0.001).The observation group had a higher qualified rate for evaluating antimicrobial medical orders compared to the control group(98.5％vs 96.8％).The pathogenic detection rate of hospitalized patients before therapeutic antimicrobial use and pathogen detection rate related to HAI diagnosis were both higher than those in the control group(87.1％vs 84.5％,99.0％vs 95.4％,respectively),differences were both statistically significant(both P＜0.05).Conclusion Empowering the hospital's AMS system with digital technology can promote more scientific,standardized,efficient,and rational antimicrobial management in hospitals.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of apical microsurgery combined with guided bone regeneration(GBR)on refractory apical periodontitis and masticatory function.Methods A total of 82 patients with refractory apical periodontitis admitted to our hospital from June 2019 to September 2021 were selected as the study subjects,and they were divided into the control group and the com-bined group according to the random number table,with 41 cases in each group.The control group was treated with apical microsurgery,and the combined group was treated with apical microsurgery combined with GBR.The clinical efficacy,masticatory function and the levels of bone absorption markers[Wnt3a,osteoprotegerin(OPG),receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand(RANKL)]of patients in the two groups were compared.Results The total effective rate of the combined group(100%)was higher than that of the control group(85.37%),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The masticatory efficiency and bite force of patients in both groups increased gradually 3,6 and 12 months after operation(P<0.05),which were higher in the combined group compared with the control group(P<0.05).The tooth mobility of patients in both groups decreased gradually 3,6 and 12 months after operation,and the tooth mobility of patients 3 and 6 months after operation in the combined group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The levels of Wnt3a and OPG of patients 1 week after operation in both groups increased,which were higher in the combined group compared with the control group(P<0.05).The RANKL level of gingival crevicular fluid of patients 1 week after operation in both groups decreased,and which was lower in the combined group compared with the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The microapical surgery combined with GBR is effective for refractory apical periodontitis,which can effectively inhibit bone resorption,and improve masticatory function.

Objective To observe the influence of different acceleration factors(AF)on compressed sensing susceptibility weighted imaging(CS-SWI)for cerebral medullary veins of healthy people,and to screen the best AF.Methods Forty healthy volunteers were prospectively enrolled.Axial brain SWI images were obtained with CS technique under different AF(AF0,CS2,CS4,CS6,CS8 and CS10),and the phase value(PV)and standard deviation(SD)of bilateral septal vein(SV),internal cerebral vein(ICV),thalamus vein(TV),basal vein(BV)and dentate nucleus vein(DNV)were measured.Taken PV and SD of parietal white matter as controls,the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)of venous images were calculated.Then the original images were reconstructed with minimum intensity projection,and the subjective quality scoring of reconstructed images were performed using a 5-point scale.SNR,CNR,PV and quality score were compared among images under different AF,and the best AF,i.e.with the best performances for displaying and quantitatively analyzing cerebral medullary veins in healthy people was obtained.Results Compared with those acquired with AF0,SNR and CNR of all cerebral medullary veins acquired with CS6,CS8 and CS10 were significantly different(all adjusted P＜0.05).Meanwhile,significant differences of PV in bilateral SV and right TV were found among CS6,CS8 and CS10,also in bilateral ICV,left TV and bilateral BV between CS8 and CS10(all adjusted P＜0.05).Conclusion Excessive AF might decrease image quality of CS-SWI for cerebral medullary veins.CS4 was the best AF for displaying and quantitatively analyzing cerebral medullary veins in healthy people.

Objective To investigate the effect of grape seed proanthocyanidins(GSPs)on nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)antioxidant system and mitochondrial biosynthesis in testes of arsenic-exposed mice.Methods ICR mice were randomly divided into four groups:Control group,model group,GSPs group and experimental group.The mice in the model group and the experimental group drank sodium arsenite solution(10 mg·L-1 arsenic)to induce testicular injury.GSPs group and experimental group were given 100 mg·kg-1 GSPs by gavage,control group and model group were given equal volume of distilled water by gavage once a day for 8 weeks.The histological parameters of testes were measured by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.The contents of malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD)and adenosine triphosphate(ATP)in testicular tissue were determined by kit method.The expression levels of heme oxygenase 1(HO-1)and quinone oxidoreductase 1(NQ01)were detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The expression of Nrf2 protein in testicular tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry.The expressions of mitochondrial synthesis-related proteins were detected by Western blot.Results The diameters of seminiferous tubules in control group,model group,GSPs group and experimental group were(184.32±14.14),(170.41±10.70),(186.87±8.03)and(181.70±9.15)μm;the contents of MDA were(2.30±0.26),(3.28±0.64),(2.32±0.40)and(2.74±0.31)nmol·mg-1;the proportions of Nrf2 positive cells were(46.50±11.98)％,(22.33±8.82)％,(51.67±12.44)％and(39.83±8.35)％;the mRNA expression levels of HO-1 were 1.00±0.21,0.51±0.10,1.00±0.28 and 0.80±0.06;the mRNA expression levels of NQO1 were 1.00±0.18,0.59±0.11,1.09±0.28 and 0.81±0.08;the contents of ATP were(491.83±67.16),(368.81±69.93),(512.44±70.96)and(472.20±68.24)μmol·g-1;the relative expression levels of PGC-1α protein were 1.00±0.06,0.22±0.03,0.94±0.05 and 0.48±0.05;the relative expression levels of TFAM were 1.00±0.07,0.32±0.05,0.80±0.05 and 0.67±0.06.The above indexes in the experimental group were statistically significant compared with the model group(all P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion GSPs has a protective effect against arsenic-induced testicular injury in mice by activating the Nfr2 antioxidant system and promoting mitochondrial biosynthesis.

Objective To develop a two-dimensional liquid chromatographic method for rifapentine blood concentration determination.Methods The blood concentration of rifapentine was determined by a novel two-dimensional liquid chromatography(2D-LC)with a one-dimensional column:Aston SC2T(3.5 mm ×50.0 mm,5 μm);a two-dimensional column:Aston SCB(4.6 mm ×250.0 mm,5 μm);the temperature of the column was 40 ℃;the flow rate was 1.0 mL·min-1;the detection wavelength was 335 nm;the injection volume was 300 μL.The specificity,standard curve and lower limit of quantification,precision and recovery,and stability of the method were investigated.The method was used to determine the blood concentration of rifapentine in tuberculosis patients.Results Rifapentine showed good linearity within 0.33-18.62 μg·mL-1 with the standard curve equation of y=2.68 x 105x-5 850.36(r=0.997),the recoveries were 99.81％-105.08％,and the intra-and inter-day precision were ≤4.84％.The results of rifapentine blood concentration measurements in tuberculosis patients were in the range of 0.10-54.70μg·mL-1,and 64.74％were within the therapeutic window concentration range(8-30 μg·mL-1).Conclusion The method is easy to operate,has high sensitivity,low detection limit and high specificity,and is suitable for clinical blood concentration determination.Individual differences in the administration of rifapentine in tuberculosis patients are large,and blood concentration monitoring is required for individualized treatment.
