Objective:To explore the mechanism of miR-30e-5p inhibiting the invasion and migration of hepatoma cells by targeting phosphoinositide-3-kinase catalytic delta polypeptide(PIK3CD)-mediated phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)/mammalian target of the rapamycin(mTOR)signaling pathway.Methods:HepG2 cells were divided into control group,miR-30e-5p mimics group,PIK3CD knockdown group,negative control group,and miR-30e-5p mimics+PIK3CD overexpression group by transfecting the corresponding plasmids,the expression of miR-30e-5p,PIK3CD and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot;the proliferation rate of Hep G2 cells in each group was detected by CCK-8 method;cell migration and invasion were measured by cell scratch test and Transwell test;the expression of matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)2,MMP9,E-cadherin,N-cadherin,Vimentin in Hep G2 cells of each group were detected by Western blot.The targeting regulation of miR-30e-5p on PIK3CD in Hep G2 cells was detected by double luciferase report assay.Results:Compared with the control group,the proliferation rate,migration rate,invasion number,the expression of N-cadherin,MMP2 and MMP9 proteins,the expression of PIK3CD protein and mRNA,p-P13K/PI3K,p-AKT/AKT,and p-mTOR/mTOR in the miR-30e-5p mimics group and PIK3CD knockdown group were lower(P＜0.05),the expression of E-cadherin protein was higher(P＜0.05).Overexpression of PIK3CD attenuates the inhibitory effects of miR-30e-5p mimics on proliferation,migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and elevates the expression of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway-related proteins;miR-30e-5p targets down-regulation of PIK3CD expression.Conclusion:Up-regulation of miR-30e-5p can prevent PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal activation by decreasing the expression of PIK3CD,thereby inhibiting the proliferation,migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

OBJECTIVE To explore the application effects of the multi-disciplinary treatment （MDT）-based continuous pharmaceutical care system in patients undergoing anti-infection treatment. METHODS This research team innovatively developed an MDT continuous pharmaceutical care system， which was applied to cases of anti-infection treatment following MDT due to infection， aiming to innovate the continuous medication supervision model. A retrospective analysis method was used to collect data from 150 patients in the intensive care unit who underwent conventional anti-infection MDT consultations from January to October 2021 in Banan Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University， serving as the control group， and 130 patients in the intensive care unit who were under the MDT continuous pharmaceutical care system from January to October 2022 were selected as the intervention group. The general information of the patients， the information continuous tracking management， the outcomes of anti- infection treatment， adverse drug reactions， antibacterial drug management indicators， and the degree of satisfaction of relevant medical staff with the clinical pharmacists’ pharmaceutical services were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Comparison of general information between the two groups showed no statistically significant differences （P＞0.05）. The proportion of continuous tracking management in the intervention group was significantly higher than in the control group （P＜0.01）， and the differences in the initiators and reasons for continuous tracking management between the two groups were statistically significant （P＜0.05）. The intervention group had better outcomes in anti-infection treatment compared to the control group （P＜0.05）. The antibacterial drug management indicators （total length of hospital stay， duration of antibacterial drug use， total drug costs， and amount of antibacterial drugs used） in the intervention group were significantly lower than in the control group， while overall degree of satisfaction among medical staff was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group （P＜0.05）. No statistically significant differences were found in adverse reaction occurrence and antibacterial drug costs between the two groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The application of this system in patients who underwent anti-infection treatment after MDT can achieve continuous multi-disciplinary tracking management with clinical pharmacists at the core， which is beneficial for promoting the follow-up efficiency of the MDT team， raising the quality of clinical pharmacists’ pharmaceutical services， strengthening treatment outcomes， and promoting the rational use of antibacterial drugs in clinical practice.

[Objective] To analyze the characteristics of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-DRB1, HLA-C, HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DPB1 allele polymorphisms among cord blood donors in Guangdong population. [Methods] According to HLA high resolution genotyping data of 32 717 samples of cord blood donors from Guangdong Cord Blood Bank from January 2009 to December 2023, the allele frequencies were calculated by direct counting and the haplotype frequencies were calculated by using Arlequin software 3.5.2.2. [Results] A total of 102 HLA-A alleles, 160 HLA-B alleles and 96 HLA-DRB1 alleles were detected in 32 717 samples. Among them, 46 HLA-DPB1 alleles were detected in 5 377 samples, and 66 HLA-C alleles and 35 HLA-DQB1 alleles were detected in 13 310 samples. The most common alleles were HLA-A^*11∶01 (28.96%), HLA-B^*40∶01 (15.23%), HLA-DRB1^*09∶01 (15.72%), HLA-C^*01∶02 (19.40%), HLA-DQB1^*03∶01 (20.85%) and HLA-DPB1^*05∶01 (40.79%). The most common 3 loci haplotype and 6 loci haplotype were HLA-A^*02∶07-B^*46∶01-DRB1^*09∶01 (1.55%), HLA-C^*07∶02-DQB1^*03∶01-DPB1^*05∶01 (1.77%), HLA-DRB1^*09∶01-DQB1^*03∶03-DPB1^*05∶01 (3.31%) and HLA-A^*02∶07-B^*46∶01-C^*01∶02-DRB1^*09∶01-DQB1^*03∶03-DPB1^*05∶01 (0.30%). [Conclusion] In this study, the allele and haplotype frequencies of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-DRB1, HLA-C, HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DPB1 were obtained in the cord blood donors in Guangdong, which can provide important reference data for HLA gene related research and the selection of donors for clinical application.

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects on cell viability, apoptosis, and cell cycle of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 cells after intervention with Agrimonia pilosa (AP) and investigate Agrimonia pilosa anti-tumor activity in vitro. Meanwhile, liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) metabolomics technology was used to analyze the changes of cellular metabolites and metabolic pathways. The results of this study will provide a theoretical and experimental basis for investigating the mechanism of the effect of Agrimonia pilosa on non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells. The results showed that the cell nucleus of A549 cells crumpled and apoptosis occurred with the increase of drug concentration. The survival rate of the cells decreased, and the inhibition rate reached 21.5% and 91.74% under the low and high dose conditions, respectively. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) content increased (P < 0.05). Metabolomics results showed significant differences in metabolism between groups, thirty-three distinct metabolites including LysoPC(24:0/0:0), LysoPC(17:0/0:0) and PC(O-40:5) were deduced. The pathway enrichment showed that the Agrimonia pilosa plays an anti-tumor role mainly by regulating the metabolism of glycerophosphate and purine in A549 cells, in which the effect on glycerophosphate metabolism pathway was most significant. The results of combined pharmacodynamics suggested that Agrimonia pilosa might induce apoptosis and inhibit the growth of A549 cells by regulating LysoPC(24:0/0:0), LysoPC(17:0/0:0) and PC(O-40:5) metabolites in A549 cells.

Objective:To analyse the clinical significance of selective single embryo transfer by time-lapse mo-nitoring(TLM)or conventional morphology assessment(CMA)in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm in-jection and embryo transfer(IVF/ICSI-ET),and to initially explore the predictive value of Raman spectral analy-sis of embryo culture medium for clinical pregnancy rate.Methods:The study is a prospective randomized con-trolled clinical trial.We assigned 139 patients treated with IVF/ICSI-ET in Reproductive and Genetics Center of Suzhou Municipal Hospital from April 2019 to July 2020,which were randomly assigned to either the CMA or the TLM group.We performed selective single-embryo transfer(fresh cycle and FET)after selecting the optimal em-bryos with TLM or CMA respectively.If the patient's first embryo transfer was unsuccessful,a second one would be performed to compare the differences in the cumulative live birth rate of embryo transfer and other pregnancy outcomes between the two groups.Meanwhile,we collected 15 μl of embryo culture medium at day 3 after IVF/ISCI fertilization for Raman spectroscopy analysis.Results:There were no differences in cumulative live birth,cu-mulative clinical pregnancy,cumulative premature birth,cumulative early spontaneous abortion,cumulative ectopic pregnancy and LGA or SGA between TLM and CMA groups(P＞0.05).The Neonatal sex ratio in the TLM group was lower than that in the CMA group,but the difference was not significant(P＞0.05).Raman spectros-copy analysis of embryo culture medium predicted the clinical pregnancy rate with 67.21％accuracy.Conclu-sions:In young women with a good ovarian reserve,the advantage of using TLM to evaluate embryos is not obvi-ous,so we should remain vigilant that embryo selection based on morphokinetic parameters may affect the sex ratio.Raman spectroscopic analysis of embryo culture medium is not yet able to effectively predict the planting ability of embryos.

Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) is widely distributed in various organisms. The first reported ENGase activity was detected in Diplococcus pneumoniae in 1971. The protein (Endo D) was purified and its peptide sequence was determined in 1974. Three ENGases (Endo F1-F3) were discovered in Flavobacterium meningosepticum from 1982 to 1993. After that, the activity was detected from different species of bacteria, yeast, fungal, plant, mice, human, etc. Multiple ENGases were detected in some species, such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Trichoderma atroviride. The first preliminary crystallographic analysis of ENGase was conducted in 1994. But to date, only a few ENGases structures have been obtained, and the structure of human ENGase is still missing. The currently identified ENGases were distributed in the GH18 or GH85 families in Carbohydrate-Active enZyme (CAZy) database. GH18 ENGase only has hydrolytic activity, but GH85 ENGase has both hydrolytic and transglycosylation activity. Although ENGases of the two families have similar (β/α)8-TIM barrel structures, the active sites are slightly different. ENGase is an effective tool for glycan detection andglycan editing. Biochemically, ENGase can specifically hydrolyze β‑1,4 glycosidic bond between the twoN-acetylglucosamines (GlcNAc) on core pentasaccharide presented on glycopeptides and/or glycoproteins. Different ENGases may have different substrate specificity. The hydrolysis products are oligosaccharide chains and a GlcNAc or glycopeptides or glycoproteins with a GlcNAc. Conditionally, it can use the two products to produce a new glycopeptides or glycoprotein. Although ENGase is a common presentation in cell, its biological function remains unclear. Accumulated evidences demonstrated that ENGase is a none essential gene for living and a key regulator for differentiation. No ENGase gene was detected in the genomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and three other yeast species. Its expression was extremely low in lung. As glycoproteins are not produced by prokaryotic cells, a role for nutrition and/or microbial-host interaction was predicted for bacterium produced enzymes. In the embryonic lethality phenotype of the Ngly1-deficient mice can be partially rescued by Engase knockout, suggesting down regulation of Engase might be a solution for stress induced adaptation. Potential impacts of ENGase regulation on health and disease were presented. Rabeprazole, a drug used for stomach pain as a proton inhibitor, was identified as an inhibitor for ENGase. ENGases have been applied in vitro to produce antibodies with a designated glycan. The two step reactions were achieved by a pair of ENGase dominated for hydrolysis of substrate glycoprotein and synthesis of new glycoprotein with a free glycan of designed structure, respectively. In addition, ENGase was also been used in cell surface glycan editing. New application scenarios and new detection methods for glycobiological engineering are quickly opened up by the two functions of ENGase, especially in antibody remodeling and antibody drug conjugates. The discovery, distribution, structure property, enzymatic characteristics and recent researches in topical model organisms of ENGase were reviewed in this paper. Possible biological functions and mechanisms of ENGase, including differentiation, digestion of glycoproteins for nutrition and stress responding were hypothesised. In addition, the role of ENGase in glycan editing and synthetic biology was discussed. We hope this paper may provide insights for ENGase research and lay a solid foundation for applied and translational glycomics.

AIM:To explore the protective effect of Xiaoxuming decoction(XXMD)on synaptic plasticity in the context of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury following ischemic stroke.METHODS:An oxygen-glucose depriva-tion/reoxygenation(OGD/R)model was employed in vitro using mouse hippocampal neurons(HT22 cells)to simulate ischemia-reperfusion injury.Cell viability was assessed using a CCK-8 assay to determine the optimal XXMD concentra-tion.The HT22 cells were divided into two groups:control and model(OGD/R).Cellular morphological changes were ob-served using an inverted microscope.The levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in the supernatant were quantified by ELISA.Ultrastructural changes were examined by transmission electron microscopy.Immunofluorescence staining was used to de-tect neuron markers NeuN and synaptic proteins NF200 and MAP2.The protein levels of NF200 and MAP2 were analyzed by Western blot.RESULTS:The highest cell survival rate occurred at an XXMD concentration of 100 mg/L(P<0.05).Compared with control group,the cells in model group exhibited round shape and shrinkage,mitochondrial swelling or vacuolization,and a marked decrease in survival rate.There were significant increases in IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α levels(P<0.05).Immunofluorescence intensity and protein levels of NeuN,NF200 and MAP2 were notably reduced(P<0.05).Treatment with XXMD improved cell morphology,ultrastructure and survival rate(P<0.05),and decreased in-flammatory factor levels(P<0.05).Compared with model group,the cells in OGD/R+XXMD group showed significantly increased immunofluorescence intensity and protein levels of NeuN,NF200 and MAP2(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Xiaoxuming decoction may mitigate OGD/R-induced injury,potentially by inhibiting inflammatory responses and enhanc-ing synaptic plasticity.

Objective To analyze the current situation and latent profiles of nurses'voice behavior in nurses,and explore the influencing factors of different types.Methods Through convenience sampling,812 nurses who worked in tertiary hospitals from 5 cities in Guangdong Province during April 2022 to June 2022 were recruited.The demographic questionnaire,the Voice Behavior Scale,the Humble Leadership Scale,and the Team Psychological Safety Climate Scale were used for investigation.Latent profile analysis was used to explore the latent profiles of nurses'voice behavior.The influencing factors of latent profiles were identified by multivariate Logistic regression.Results The total score of the voice behavior in 812 nurses is(37.04±5.88).Voice behaviors in nurses is divided into 3 latent classes,namely"conservation group"(27.83％),"balanced-risky group"(61.95％),and"the challenge group"(10.22％).The influencing factors include recruitment type,whether to assist in department management,humble leadership,team psychological safety climate(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The level of nurses'voice behavior is upper medium with heterogeneity,which can be divided into 3 latent profiles.Nurses managers should focus on nurses with conservation group and balanced-risky group and conduct early targeted prevention and care according to characteristics and influencing factors of different latent profile.

Objective:To examine the risk factors and predictive value of depression following mild acute ischemic stroke in elderly individuals.The aim is to enhance early identification and intervention, ultimately leading to improved prognosis.Methods:A case-control study was conducted on 988 elderly patients with mild acute ischemic stroke.The study collected general population and social data, as well as clinical laboratory data such as blood glucose, blood lipids, and AD7C-NTP in urine.Additionally, the patients underwent assessments using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NHISS), Barthel index(BI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA), and Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD).Based on the HAMD depression scale score, the patients were divided into a nopost-stooke depression(NPSD)group and a post-stooke depression(PSD)group.The study then analyzed the related risk factors and predictive value of PSD.Results:A total of 988 patients were eligible for inclusion, with 132 being excluded and 856 being included.The NPSD and PSD groups showed significant differences in age, hypertension, smoking history, education level, and stroke history(all P<0.05).Regarding clinical data, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in total cholesterol(TC), triacylglycerol(TG), HDL, urinary AD7C-NTP, MoCA, and HAMA scores(all P<0.05).The results of the multi-factor logistic regression analysis revealed that gender( OR=1.975, 95% CI: 1.223-3.190, P=0.005), stroke history( OR=1.352, 95% CI: 0.877-2.086, P=0.042), and HAMA score( OR=1.216, 95% CI: 0.932-1.526, P=0.043)were identified as independent risk factors for post-stroke depression in the elderly.Conversely, MoCA score( OR=0.873, 95% CI: 0.814-0.937, P<0.001)was found to be an independent protective factor.Furthermore, the ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the HAMA score(AUC=0.892, sensitivity: 0.721, specificity: 0.854, cut-off value: 9.5)exhibited significant predictive value, while the other indexes had limited predictive value. Conclusions:Gender, stroke history, and HAMA score have been identified as potential independent risk factors for post-stroke depression(PSD)in the elderly, while MoCA score may serve as an independent protective factor.Notably, HAMA score demonstrates a strong predictive ability for PSD.Early identification of these factors and timely intervention could significantly contribute to improving prognosis.

Objective:To determine the incidence of adrenal incidentalomas(AIs) in patients with diabetes mellitus and the metabolism profiles.Methods:A total of 615 hospitalized patients with diabetes mellitus in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of Peking University People′s Hospital from March 2020 to May 2021 were retrospectively included in this study. AIs were screened by unenhanced chest computed tomography(CT) retrospectively and subsequently confirmed by multiplanar reconstruction. Participants′ physical indicators, metabolic profiles, and adrenal function parameters were collected. Unpaired t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Chi-Square test were adopted to compare the metabolism profiles between diabetes mellitus patients with or without AIs. Regression models were used to estimate the correlations between AIs and the metabolism profiles such as blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure, and the adrenal function parameters.Results:Twenty-seven out of 615 participants were detected with AIs(4.4%). Patients with AIs had higher body mass index, waist circumference, and hip circumference than patients without AIs [(29.4±5.1)kg/m 2vs(26.8±3.8)kg/m 2,P=0.018; (102.3±11.7)cm vs(95.8±10.3)cm, P=0.002; (107.3±10.1)cm vs(101.4±7.6)cm, P=0.008]. The levels of serum uric acid and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio were also significantly increased in patients with AIs [(409.6±118.1)μmol/L vs(357.4±100.6)μmol/L, P=0.009; 21.25(7.49, 180.24)mg/g vs 8.60(4.71, 34.56)mg/g, P=0.010]. Besides, individuals with AIs were also associated with a higher risk of co-existing hypertension( P=0.045). Conclusion:The incidence of AIs in patients with diabetes is 4.4%. The presence of AIs in patients with diabetes may associated with increased risk of obesity and hypertension.
