ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of action of Lifei Xiaoji Pill （理肺消积丸， LXP） in the treatment of non small cell lung cancer based on the Warburg effect and the USP47/BACH1 pathway. MethodsFifty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups， model group， LXP group， inhibitor group， LXP + inhibitor group， and cisplatin group， with 10 mice in each group. A lung cancer mouse model was established by subcutaneously injecting Lewis cells. On the next day， the model group mice were given 0.2 ml of saline by gavage daily， the LXP group given 240 mg/（kg·d） of LXP solution once a day by gavage， the inhibitor group intraperitoneally injected with P22077 at a dose of 10 mg/（kg·d） every day， the LXP + inhibitor group given both LXP by gavage and P22077 by intraperitoneal injection once a day， and the cisplatin group received 0.5 mg/（kg·d） cisplatin intraperitoneally every other day. All treatments lasted for 14 days. On the day after the last dose， tumor weight and volume were measured， tumor histopathology was examined by HE staining， apoptosis in tumor tissues was detected by TUNEL staining， and proliferation cell nuclear antigen （PCNA） protein levels were detected by immunohistochemistry. Warburg effect indicators， including glucose concentration， lactate content， and adenosine triphosphate （ATP） production in tumor tissues， were measured. Western Blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression levels of USP47， BACH1， hexokinase 2 （HK2）， and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase （GAPDH）. ResultsCompared with the model group， all drug intervention groups showed reduced tumor weight and volume， improved tumor pathology， decreased PCNA positive rate， increased apoptosis rate， and reduced expression levels of USP47， BACH1， and HK2 proteins and mRNA （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Except for lactate content in the cisplatin group， the glucose concentration in tumor tissues of other drug intervention groups increased， while lactate content and ATP production decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the LXP group， the LXP + inhibitor group showed more significant improvements in these indicators （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the cisplatin group， the LXP + inhibitor group had lower mRNA expression of HK2 and GAPDH， and lower protein levels of USP47 and HK2 （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the inhibitor group， the cisplatin group had higher HK2 protein levels， while the LXP + inhibitor group showed lower mRNA expression of BACH1， HK2， and GAPDH （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. ConclusionLXP significantly inhibits tumor growth in lung cancer mice， and its mechanism of action may be related to inhibiting the Warburg effect via the USP47/BACH1 pathway.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the induction of apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by polyphyllin 9 （PP9） through the regulation of the Fas/Fas ligand （FasL） signaling pathway， and its inhibitory effect on the growth of transplanted tumor in nude mice. METHODS Based on the screening of cell lines and intervention conditions， HepG2 cells were selected as the experimental subject to investigate the effects of 2 μmol/L and 4 μmol/L PP9 treatment on cell colony formation activity， apoptosis rate， as well as the protein expressions of Fas， FasL， cleaved caspase-8 and cleaved caspase-3. Additionally， Fas inhibitor KR- 33493 was introduced to investigate the underlying mechanism of PP9’s anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activity. Using HepG2 cell tumor-bearing nude mice model as the object， and 5-fluorouracil （20 mg/kg） as the positive control， the effects of 10 mg/kg PP9 on tumor volume， tumor mass， and the protein expressions of the nuclear proliferation-associated antigen Ki-67 and cleaved caspase-3 in tumor-bearing nude mice were investigated. RESULTS Compared with the control group， 2， 4 μmol/L PP9 significantly decreased the number of clones and the clone formation rate of cells， but significantly increased the apoptosis rate， the protein expressions of Fas， FasL， cleaved caspase-8 and cleaved caspase-3 （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. However， the combination of Fas inhibitor KR-33493 could significantly reverse the effect of PP9 on the up-regulation of proteins related to the Fas/FasL signaling pathway （P＜0.01）. Compared with the control group， the tumor volume （on day 27）， mass and protein expression of Ki- 67 in nude mice of the PP9 group were significantly decreased， while the protein expression of cleaved caspase-3 was significantly increased （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS PP9 can induce apoptosis of HepG2 cells by activating the Fas/FasL signaling pathway. Meanwhile， PP9 can also effectively inhibit the growth of transplanted tumors in nude mice.

ObjectiveThis study explored the application of Yiqi Zengmian prescription as a vaccine adjuvant， aiming to provide a new scheme for the prevention and control of corona virus disease 2019（COVID-19） with traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. By analyzing the compatibility and efficacy， this paper examines the compatibility effect of Yiqi Zengmian prescription， which is modified from the classic tonifying agent Si Junzitang， as a vaccine adjuvant. MethodUsing the Database of Ancient Classical Prescriptions， this paper analyzed the composition of Yiqi Zengmian prescription and probed into the theoretical basis for the compatibility of this prescription from the properties， medicine combination， and efficacy. Furthermore， the compatibility effect of this prescription with vaccines was analyzed. ResultAs a TCM prescription， Yiqi Zengmian prescription focuses on the lung and spleen and enhances the Qi in the two organs. The lung governs Qi movement. The body breathes fresh air through the lungs and exchanges the turbid gas in the lungs， and the gas circulates alternately in the lungs to ensure the normal breathing of the human body. The spleen governing transportation and transformation is the hub for Qi movement， and Qi is the embodiment of metabolic function. By regulating qi movement and enhancing the functions of Qi and blood， Yiqi Zengmian prescription can enhance the immunogenicity of the vaccine， which provides a theoretical basis for enhancing the immune effects of vaccines. ConclusionYiqi Zengmian prescription has the effects of replenishing Qi and invigorating spleen， regulating Qi and drying dampness， and enhancing immunity. The in-depth analysis of the TCM theory of Yiqi Zengmian prescription as a vaccine adjuvant and the results of clinical and laboratory studies suggest that Yiqi Zengmian prescription may enhance the induction of immune response after vaccination and maintain the immune memory. However， the mechanism of Yiqi Zengmian prescription in regulating the complex immune network remains to be elucidated.

Objective:To investigate the safety and utility of using polyester spacers in conventional pancreatico-enteric anastomosis in pancreaticoduodenectomy to achieve prevention of postoperative pancreatic fistula.Methods:The clinical data of 82 patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy completed by the same physician in Anyang People's Hospital from August 2018 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 52 males and 30 females, aged (62.21±9.75) years. They were divided into two groups, test group ( n=40) and control group ( n=42) according to whether polyester spacers were used in pancreatico-intestinal anastomosis, the perioperative data of the two groups were compared, and Logistic analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting postoperative pancreatic fistula. Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of biliary fistula, intestinal fistula, abdominal infection, abdominal bleeding, and postoperative mortality rate (all P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula in the test group was 20.0% (8/40) which was lower than that in the control group 45.2% (19/42), and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.015). Soft pancreas texture ( OR=16.595, 95% CI: 1.891~145.657) was an independent risk factor for postoperative pancreatic fistula, while improved pancreatic enterostomy with polyester spacers ( OR=0.332, 95% CI: 0.114~0.969) could reduce the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula. Conclusion:Use of polyester spacers to reinforce the pancreatico-enteric anastomosis during pancreaticoduodenectomy reduces the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistulae with good safety and practicality.

Macroautophagy (referred to as autophagy hereafter) is a major intracellular lysosomal degradation pathway that is responsible for the degradation of misfolded/damaged proteins and organelles. Previous studies showed that autophagy protects against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced injury (AILI) via selective removal of damaged mitochondria and APAP protein adducts. The lysosome is a critical organelle sitting at the end stage of autophagy for autophagic degradation via fusion with autophagosomes. In the present study, we showed that transcription factor EB (TFEB), a master transcription factor for lysosomal biogenesis, was impaired by APAP resulting in decreased lysosomal biogenesis in mouse livers. Genetic loss-of and gain-of function of hepatic TFEB exacerbated or protected against AILI, respectively. Mechanistically, overexpression of TFEB increased clearance of APAP protein adducts and mitochondria biogenesis as well as SQSTM1/p62-dependent non-canonical nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) activation to protect against AILI. We also performed an unbiased cell-based imaging high-throughput chemical screening on TFEB and identified a group of TFEB agonists. Among these agonists, salinomycin, an anticoccidial and antibacterial agent, activated TFEB and protected against AILI in mice. In conclusion, genetic and pharmacological activating TFEB may be a promising approach for protecting against AILI.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the potential categories of parenting sense of competence and to analyze the influence of rumination and dyadic coping on the potential categories of parenting sense of competence. Methods: A total of 199 postpartum women who met the criteria were surveyed from a tertiary grade-A hospital in Shanxi (China) from May 2023 to August 2023. The instruments included the general demographic characteristics, Chinese version of parenting sense of competence scale, Chinese event related rumination inventory, and Chinese version of dyadic coping inventory. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to classify the parenting sense of competence in postpartum women, and logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors. Results: The characteristics of parenting sense of competence in postpartum women can be divided into two potential categories, namely, easy-to-satisfy group (39.3%) and strict-demand group (60.7%). Logistic regression analysis showed that years of marriage, place of residence, deliberate rumination, and dyadic coping were the influencing factors of the potential categories of parenting sense of competence in postpartum women (p < .05). Conclusions Through Latent profile analysis (LPA) analysis, it was found that postpartum women's parenting sense of competence exhibits different characteristics. Clinical workers should identify the characteristics and influencing factors of different categories of women and adopt targeted intervention strategies to promote the level of parenting sense of competence.
