Objective:To investigate the active ingredients and targets of Compound Gastritis Mixture(CGM)in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG)by network pharmacology method,and to validate the potential mechanism combined with molecular docking technology and cellular experiments.Methods:The Traditional Chinese Medicine System Analysis Platform(TCMSP)and Swiss Target Prediction databases were used to select the herbal ingredients of CGM and the corresponding targets;the GeneCards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM)database were used to screen the targets of CAG;the common targets of CGM and CAG were analyzed from the Venny2.1.0 platform;STRING online platform was used to construct protein-protein interaction(PPI)networks for common drug-disease targets and screen the core targets.Cytoscape 3.9.1 software was used to construct the drug-disease-target network and screen the drug core components;Gene Ontology(GO)fuctional,Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)signaling pathway enrichment analysis were used to analyze the common targets of CGM and CAG;and AutoDock analysis software was used to perform molecular docking analysis of predicted main components of the drugs and core targets.The gastric mucosal epithelial cells GES-1 were induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS)to construct CAG cell model.The GES-1 cells were divided into blank group(10%serum complete medium),model group(10 mg·L-1 LPS),and different concentrations of CGM groups(50,100,200,400,800 and 1 600 g·L-1 CGM+10 mg·L-1 LPS),and cells were incubated for 12,24,and 48 h.The cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay was used to detect the proliferation activities of GES-1 cells.The GES-1 cells were divided into blank group(10%serum complete medium),model group(10 mg·L-1 LPS)and CGM group(1 600 g·L-1 CGM+10 mg·L-1 LPS).Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method was used to detect the expression levels of interleukin(IL)-6,tumor necrosis factor(TNF),serine/threonine protein kinase 1(AKT1),IL-1β,and epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)mRNA in the cells in various groups.Results:A total of 198 ingredients of CGM were screened,and 128 common targets with CAG were identified.The main herbal ingredients of CGM in treatment of CAG were quercetin,kaempferol,and lluteolin,which mainly acted on the core targets of IL-6,TNF,AKT1,IL-1β,and EGFR.The GO function enrichment analysis results showed that the top 15 targets mainly focused on biological processes(BP)such as apoptosis,inflammatory response and cell proliferation,mainly included cellular components(CC)such as cytoplasm,cell surface and macromolecular complexes,and mainly exerted molecular functions(MF)such as proteins,enzymes and ubiquitin-protein ligases.A total of 158 pathways were obtained from KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis,mainly involved cancer-related pathways,TNF signaling pathways,viral infection,programmed cell death-ligand 1(PD-L1)/programmed cell death protein-1(PD-1)pathways,apoptosis,NOD-like receptor signaling pathways,Toll-like receptor signaling pathways,EGFR,and IL-17 signaling pathways.The binding energies of the core targets IL-6,TNF,IL-1β,AKT1,and EGFR with main herbal ingredients quercetin,kaempferol,and luteolin were<-5 kcal·mol-1.The CCK-8 assay results showed that compared with blank group,after 24 and 48 h of cell culture,the proliferation activities of the cells in model group were significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the inhibition of the proliferation activity was more obvious after 48 h;therefore,48 h was selected for the modeling time;compared with model group,the proliferation activities of cells in 800 and 1 600g·L-1 GCM groups were significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the promotion of cell proliferation activity was more obvious in 1 600g·L-1 GCM group,so the intervening concentration of this drug was selected for the subsequent experiments.The RT-qPCR method results showed that compared with blank group,the expression levels of IL-6,TNF,IL-1β,AKT1,and EGFR mRNA in the cells in model group were significantly increased(P<0.01);compared with model group,the expression levels of IL-6,IL-1β,AKT1 and EGFR mRNA in the cells in CGM group were significantly decreased(P<0.01).Conclusion:CGM may play a role in the prevention and treatment of CAG through multiple ingredients such as quercetin,kaempferol and lignocerol,acting on the multiple target proteins such as IL-6,TNF,AKT1,IL-1β,and EGFR,as well as involving a variety of"inflammatory-cancer-related"pathways.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of lower eyelid blepharoplasty combined with micro-autologous fat transplantation (MAFT) in the rejuvenation of the infraorbital regions.Method:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with lower eyelid pouch and tear trough treated with lower eyelid blepharoplasty combined with MAFT in the Department of Plastic Surgery of Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from March 2020 to March 2022. Patients seeked medical attention due to lower eyelid pouch and tear trough, with or without skin laxity, and some patients had varying degrees of midface depression. After preoperative examination and evaluation of the patient’s infraorbital area and midfacial depression, appropriate individualized plans were developed.The patient underwent lower eyelid blepharoplasty by transconjunctival approach combined with tear trough MAFT. For patients with low or depressed midface, midface MAFT was also performed, and for patients with skin laxity, skin removal surgery was performed simultaneously. Complications were recorded after the operation. Preoperative and postoperative photos of more than 6 months were taken with the same postion and delivered to the same doctor to grade the patient’s Barton classification (0-3 grades, with higher grade indicating more obvious tear trough deformity). The improvement of tear trough deformity after surgery was assessed, and the global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) score was also assessed. The patients evaluated their improvement using the patients aesthetic improvement scale (PAIS) score (GAIS and PAIS are both 1-5 points, with higher scores indicating more significant postoperative improvement). Normal distribution metric data was represented by Mean±SD, and count data was represented by frequency and/or percentage; skewed distribution metric data was represented by M ( Q1, Q3), and compared by rank sum test. Results:A total of 69 patients were enrolled, including 9 males and 60 females, aged 25-45 years, with an average age of 36.7 years. Among them, 35 patients had midfacial depression, and 11 patients had skin laxity. (0.37±0.07) ml (0.2-0.6 ml) of micro-autologous fat was injected into the orbicularis oculi muscle on each side; (0.18±0.06) ml (0.1-0.2 ml) of micro-autologous fat was injected into the subcutaneous layer on each side; (3.80±0.98) ml (3-5 ml) of micro-autologous fat was injected into the deep medial cheek fat compartment and pyriform aperture fat compartment on each side. No serious complications occurred after the surgery. Postoperative follow-up lasted for 6-13 months, with an average of 8.7 months. The patient’s lower eyelid pouch, tear trough deformity, and depression in the midface have all improved, presenting a youthful and smooth appearance from the infraorbital area to the midface. The skin texture in the lower eyelid area had also improved. At the last follow-up, the Barton classification of the lacrimal groove decreased compared with that before surgery, and the difference was statistically significant [grade 0 (0, 1) vs. grade 2 (1, 2), Z=-7.62, P<0.001]. At the last follow-up, the PAIS score of 69 patients was 5 points in 49 cases (71%) and 4 points in 20 cases (29%); doctor’s GAIS score was 5 points in 38 cases (55%), 4 points in 27 cases (39%), and 3 points in 4 cases (6%) . Conclusion:For those patients with aging status of infraorbital region, like lower eyelid pouch and tear trough deformities, the combination of lower eyelid blepharoplasty through the transconjunctival approach and MAFT can achieve good therapeutic effects. This method is safe with a short recovery time.

The incidence of ulcerative colitis(UC)is on the rise globally,but its pathogenesis has not yet been clarified.Existing studies suggest that UC is closely related to genetic susceptibility,impaired intestinal epithelial barrier,abnormal immune response,intestinal flora dysbiosis and environmental factors.Intestinal flora has the functions of substance metabolism,nutrient absorption,energy conversion,immune regulation and maintenance of intestinal mucosal barrier,and has been proved to play an important role in UC.This article reviewed the progress of research on intestinal flora and its metabolites in UC,thus providing theoretical basis and new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of UC.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism by which non-enterotoxin-producing Bacteroides fragilis (NTBF) inhibits TNF-α-induced inflammatory responses in human normal colonic epithelial cells hcoEPIC, and explore new probiotic therapies for the prevention and treatment of colitis. Methods:The co-culture system of NTBF and hcoEPIC cells was established, and the adhesion and invasion ability of NTBF were detected, respectively. TNF-α was added to induce cellular inflammation after 4 h of co-culture of NTBF and hcoEPIC cells, and cell survival and apoptosis were detected by the CCK-8 assay and the AnnexinⅤ-FITC/PI assay respectively after 24 h. Key proteins of the NF-κB signalling pathway in hcoEPIC cells in different treatment groups were detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR, and the expression of downstream cytokines of this pathway incluing IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-10 were detected by ELISA. The effect of NTBF intervention on dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)-induced colitis mice was assessed by in vivo animal experiments. Results:NTBF adhered to hcoEPIC cells, and was non-toxic to the cells. Compared with control group, NTBF treatment alone did not affect cell survival and apoptosis of hcoEPIC cells ( P>0.05), but significantly reduced cell damage and apoptosis induced by TNF-α ( P<0.05); Compared with the TNF-α treatment alone group, the expression levels of p-NF-κB p65 and p-IκBα protein as well as NF-κB and IκBα mRNA were significantly reduced ( P<0.05); the production of IL-1β and TNF-α in the cell supernatant was reduced and the release of IL-10 was increased ( P<0.05). Animal experiments demonstrated that NTBF was indeed effective in alleviating DSS-induced colitis in ulcerative colitis model mice, which was mainly manifested by inhibiting weight loss, lowering DAI scores, improving colonic shortening, and attenuating colonic pathological damage in colitis-induced mice. Conclusions:NTBF may inhibit TNF-α-induced inflammatory responses in colonic epithelial cells by down-regulating the NF-κB pathway.

Cervical cancer, the most common gynecological malignancy, significantly and adversely affects women's physical health and well-being. Traditional surgical interventions and chemotherapy, while potentially effective, often entail serious side effects that have led to an urgent need for novel therapeutic methods. Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising approach due to its ability to minimize damage to healthy tissue. Connecting a biothiol detection group to PTT-sensitive molecules can improve tumor targeting and further minimize potential side effects. In this study, we developed a near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF)/photoacoustic (PA) dual-mode probe, S-NBD, which demonstrated robust PTT performance. This innovative probe is capable of activating NIRF/PA signals to enable the detection of biothiols with high emission wavelength (838 nm) and large Stokes shift (178 nm), allowing for in vivo monitoring of cancer cells. Additionally, the probe achieved an outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency of 67.1%. The application of laser irradiation (660 nm, 1.0 W/cm², 5 min) was able to achieve complete tumor ablation without recurrence. In summary, this seminal study presents a pioneering NIRF/PA dual-mode dicyanoisophorone-based probe for biothiol imaging, incorporating features from PTT for the first time. This pioneering approach achieves the dual objectives of improving tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Objective: To establish a rat model of preeclampsia (PE) in early pregnancy and to observe the changes in phenotype，pregnancy outcome and cognitive ability of offspring． Methods : The pregnant rats were randomly divided into model group and control group．Ultra-low dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (0. 5 μg / kg) and an equal volume of normal saline were injected into the tail vein of pregnant rats on the fifth day of pregnancy．The levels of blood pressure ，12-hour urinary protein ，peripheral blood coagulation factors and placental cytokines in the two groups were measured．Furthermore，placental pathology，pregnancy outcomes，and cognitive abilities of offspring were observed. Results: Blood pressure and urinary protein levels of model group were significantly higher than those of control group levels．Compared with the control group，the levels of platelet and antithrombin Ⅲ (AT Ⅲ) in the peripheral blood of pregnant rats in the model group were lower than those in the control group，while D-dimer was higher than that in the control group，the weight of the fetus and placenta in the model group decreased (P ＜0. 001) ，the expression levels of interleukin ( IL) -6，tumor necrosis factor α ( TNF-α) and interferon gamma (INF-γ) in peripheral blood increased，while the expression level of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) decreased(P＜0. 001) ．The water maze test showed that the latency of the offspring of the model group to the plat- form was longer than that of the control group (P＜0. 05) ，while the frequency of crossing the platform quadrant and the time of staying in the platform quadrant of the model group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0. 05 ) ．HE and PAS staining showed that there were infiltration of inflammatory cells in the basal layer of placenta， obvious decrease of blood vessels in labyrinthine area，slight edema of renal interstitium and degeneration of local renal tubular epithelial cells in the model group，while there were no above pathological changes in placenta and kidney in the control group． Conclusion A single injection of LPS in early pregnancy can successfully induce PE- related symptoms and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as fetal growth restriction and lead to the decline of cogni- tive ability of offspring.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of Qimai Qinlou prescription in the treatment of elderly community-acquired pneumonia （CAP） （non-severe） with Qi and Yin deficiency and phlegm-heat obstructing lung syndrome and its impact on immune-inflammatory factors. MethodA total of 120 eligible patients were randomly divided into an observation group （60 cases） and a control group （60 cases）. Both groups received intravenous cefoxitin sodium. In addition， the observation group received oral Qimai Qinlou prescription， while the control group received an oral placebo simulating Qimai Qinlou prescription. The treatment course was 14 days. The disappearance time of major clinical symptoms and signs was recorded. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome scores and the Clinical Research Outcome （CAP-CRO） scale scores for pneumonia of the two groups were compared. Chest computed tomography （CT） scans were performed， and peripheral blood levels of procalcitonin （PCT）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， serum amyloid A （SAA）， high-sensitivity C-reactive protein （hs-CRP）， CD4⁺， CD8⁺， and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ were measured. The conversion rate to severe condition during hospitalization， readmission rate within 30 days after discharge， and safety evaluation were recorded. ResultAfter treatment， the observation group showed significantly shorter time of fever， cough， expectoration， and disappearance time of lung moist rales than the control group （P<0.01）. The TCM syndrome scores， CAP-CRO scores in all dimensions， and total scores in both groups were significantly reduced as compared with those before treatment （P<0.01）. After treatment， the observation group had a more significant reduction than the control group （P<0.01）. The levels of PCT， IL-6， SAA， and hs-CRP in both groups were significantly reduced as compared with those before treatment （P<0.01）. After treatment， the observation group showed a more significant reduction than the control group （P<0.01）. There was no statistically significant difference in the changes of CD4⁺， CD8⁺， and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ in the control group before and after treatment. However， in the observation group， CD4⁺ and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ levels significantly increased （P<0.01）， while CD8⁺ level significantly decreased （P<0.01） after treatment. After treatment， CD4⁺ and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ in the observation group significantly increased （P<0.01）， and CD8⁺ significantly decreased as compared with those in the control group （P<0.01）. At 7， 10， and 14 days after treatment， the curative rates in the observation group were 53.33% （32/60）， 85.00% （51/60）， and 91.67% （55/60）， respectively， which were higher than 31.67% （19/60）， 61.67% （37/60）， and 68.33% （41/60） in the control group （χ²=5.763， 8.352， 10.208， P<0.05）. After treatment， the total effective rate of CT scanning in the observation group was 93.33% （56/60）， higher than 80.00% （48/60） in the control group （χ²=4.615， P<0.05）. The conversion rate to severe condition during hospitalization in the observation group was 3.33% （2/60）， lower than 15.00% （9/60） in the control group （χ²=4.904， P<0.05）. The readmission rate within 30 days after discharge in the observation group was 8.33% （5/60）， lower than 23.33% （14/60） in the control group （χ²=5.065， P<0.05）. No serious adverse drug reactions were observed in either group during the treatment period. ConclusionQimai Qinlou prescription can enhance immune function， alleviate inflammatory reactions， significantly relieve clinical symptoms， shorten the duration of the disease， improve the curative rate and CT scanning efficacy， prevent disease progression， reduce the readmission rate in the short term， and is clinically safe for the treatment of elderly patients with non-severe CAP with Qi and Yin deficiency and phlegm-heat obstructing lung syndrome. It is worthy of further research and application.
