ObjectiveBased on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS), network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques, to explore the pharmacodynamic material basis and mechanism of Renshen Wuweizi Tang in treating spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome. MethodsThe chemical components in the decoction of Renshen Wuweizi Tang were systematically characterized and identified by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, and network pharmacology was used to screen potential active ingredients, collect component targets and gene sets related to spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome, and obtain protein interaction relationships through STRING. Cytoscape 3.9.1 was used to construct a "formula-syndrome" association network and calculate topological feature values. Gene ontology(GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed on core genes to explore potential pharmacodynamic links, the average shortest path between the formula-drug target network and the pharmacodynamic link gene network was calculated to discover dominant pharmacodynamic links, and MCODE plugin was used to identify core gene clusters from the dominant pharmacodynamic links, which were validated using Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO), and molecular docking was performed between key components and core targets. ResultsOne hundred and thirty-seven components were identified in the negative ion mode, and eighty components were identified in the positive ion mode. After deduplication, a total of 185 components were identified, mainly composed of triterpenoid saponins(49) and flavonoids(54). Based on the "formula-syndrome" correlation network analysis, energy metabolism was determined to be the dominant pharmacodynamic link of Renshen Wuweizi Tang in the treatment of spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome. The results of molecular docking showed that 7 components(adenosine, atractylenolide Ⅱ, atractylenolide Ⅲ, ginsenoside Rg1, glycyrrhizin B2, glycyrrhizin E2 and campesterol) from 4 medicinal materials(Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Poria) in this formula might regulate energy metabolism by acting on 6 targets, namely cyclic adenosine monophosphate-response element binding protein 1(CREB1), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(GAPDH), interleukin(IL)-6, nuclear transcription factor(NF)-κB1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α(PPARα), and tumor necrosis factor(TNF), thus improving the symptoms of diseases related to spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome. ConclusionThis study established a UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS for rapid characterization and identification of chemical components in the decoction of Renshen Wuweizi Tang, expanding the understanding of the material composition of this formula, and found that 7 components might act on the key advantageous pharmacodynamic link "energy metabolism" through 6 targets to improve the related symptoms of spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome. This can provide a reference for the subsequent exploration of the material benchmark and mechanism of the famous classical formula.

Objective:To evaluate long-term outcomes of endoscopic papillectomy (EP) for duodenal papillary adenomas and to identify risk factors for incomplete resection.Methods:Clinical data of 180 patients diagnosed as having duodenal papillary adenoma via postoperative pathology after EP in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from January 2010 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups based on their postoperative margin status: the complete resection group (negative resection margins) and the incomplete resection group (positive/uncertain resection margins). Recurrence rates were compared between the two groups, and logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for incomplete resection.Results:Among the 180 patients included in the study, 137 underwent complete resection, and 43 had incomplete resections. Recurrence rate was significantly higher in the incomplete resection group than that in the complete resection group (30.2% VS 15.3%, χ2=4.75, P=0.029). logistic regression analysis indicated that high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia was an independent risk factor for incomplete resection ( OR=2.43, 95% CI:1.12-5.26, P=0.024). Conclusion:Patients with incomplete resection after EP have a higher recurrence rate in the long-term follow-up. High-grade intraepithelial neoplasia is an independent risk factor for incomplete resection. Close surveillance and aggressive management are warranted for patients with positive or uncertain resection margins to mitigate the recurrence risk.

Objective:To investigate the effect of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) on the biological activity of infantile hemangioma (IH) -derived endothelial cells (HemECs) .Methods:Three proliferating IH tissues and three involuting IH tissues were collected from IH patients receiving surgical resection at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University from February to August 2021. Primary HemECs were isolated from proliferating IH tissues, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) served as the control. The TGF-β1 expression levels in tissues and cells were detected by immunohistochemical study and Western blot analysis. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay was performed to assess the effect of 0 (control group) - 100 ng/ml TGF-β1 on HemEC proliferation. HemECs were treated with 5 ng/ml TGF-β1 or without (control group), and after several hours of treatment, Transwell assay was performed to evaluate cell migration ability, and immunofluorescence assay to assess the changes in the expression of endothelial markers (platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 [CD31], vascular endothelial cadherin [VE-cadherin]) and mesenchymal markers (α-smooth muscle actin [α-SMA], collagen type Ⅰ α 1 [COL1A1]). Comparisons between groups were conducted by t test or one-way analysis of variance. Results:Immunohistochemical study showed that proliferating IH tissues were stained positively for TGF-β1, which was expressed relatively abundantly; the percentages of TGF-β1-positive signal area were higher in the proliferating IH tissues (24.68% ± 3.74%) than in the involuting IH tissues (almost no expression). Western blot analysis revealed that the relative expression level of TGF-β1 was significantly higher in HemECs (1.08 ± 0.13) than in HUVECs (0.30 ± 0.04, t = 9.93, P < 0.001). CCK8 assay showed increased proliferative activity of HemECs in the 3.125-, 6.25-, 12.5-, 25-, 50- and 75-ng/ml TGF-β1 groups compared with the control group (all P < 0.05), and no significant difference was found between the 100-ng/ml TGF-β1 group and the control group ( P > 0.05). Transwell assay revealed an increased number of migratory HemECs in the 5-ng/ml TGF-β1 group (127 ± 6) compared with the control group (103 ± 9; t = 5.32, P < 0.01). Immunofluorescence assay showed significantly decreased fluorescence intensity of endothelial markers CD31 and VE-cadherin in the 5-ng/ml TGF-β1 group (5.441 ± 1.254, 5.073 ± 0.412, respectively) compared with the control group (9.518 ± 1.728,7.671 ± 0.921, t = 3.31, 4.46, P = 0.030, 0.011, respectively), and significantly increased fluorescence intensity of mesenchymal markers α-SMA and COL1A1 in the 5-ng/ml TGF-β1 group (8.074 ± 0.846, 5.885 ± 0.216, respectively) compared with the control group (0.393 ± 0.342, 0.295 ± 0.125, t = 14.58, 38.76, P < 0.001, < 0.000 1, respectively) . Conclusion:TGF-β1 was relatively highly expressed in the proliferating IH tissues and HemECs, and could promote the proliferation, migration and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition of HemECs.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical equivalence between a domestic calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate ointment and the originator product in the treatment of stable plaque psoriasis.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, three-arm, parallel-group, active- and placebo-controlled study was conducted, and 449 patients aged 18 - 65 years with stable plaque psoriasis were enrolled from 25 hospitals (such as the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University). Eligible patients had a baseline physician's global assessment (PGA) score of ≥ 3 points, baseline body surface area (BSA) involvement of 5% - 30%, and a target lesion psoriasis area and severity index (TL-PASI) for plaque elevation of ≥ 3 points. Participants were randomly assigned in a 2:2:1 ratio to the test group ( n = 179), reference group ( n = 180), and placebo group ( n = 90), and applied the domestic calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate ointment, originator product, and ointment base respectively, once daily in the evening for 4 weeks. Efficacy and safety were assessed at weeks 1, 2, and 4. The primary efficacy endpoints were the treatment success rates and clinical success rates in each group at week 4. The per-protocol set (PPS) was used for the primary efficacy analysis, and the intention-to-treat (ITT) set for supplementary efficacy analysis. Equivalence between the test and reference preparations was tested using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel method adjusted for randomization strata. Superiority of the test and reference preparations over the placebo was also tested. Measurement data were compared among the 3 groups using analysis of variance or non-parametric tests, while treatment success rates, clinical success rates, and incidence rates of adverse reactions were compared using the chi-square test. Results:The ITT, PPS, and safety sets included 447, 420, and 448 patients, respectively. In the ITT set, patients were aged 43.6 ± 12.8 years, including 320 (71.6%) males and 127 (28.4%) females, and the disease duration was 11.21 ± 9.05 years; 316 (70.7%) had a PGA score of 3 points and 131 (29.3%) had a PGA score of 4 - 5 points. No significant differences in the baseline characteristics (including age, sex, disease duration and disease severity) were observed among the 3 groups (all P > 0.05). Based on the PPS analysis, the treatment success rates were 57.9% (99/171) in the test group, 50.3% (86/171) in the reference group, and 7.7% (6/78) in the placebo group, and the clinical success rates were 57.9% (99/171), 50.3% (86/171), and 10.3% (8/78), respectively; both the test and reference groups were superior to the placebo group in both treatment and clinical success rates (all P < 0.001) ; the rate differences for treatment success (90% confidence interval [ CI]: -1.3% - 16.4%) and clinical success (90% CI: -1.3% - 16.3%) between the test and reference groups were entirely within the pre-defined equivalence margin (-20% - 20%). Subgroup analyses by baseline PGA scores: for patients with a baseline PGA score of 3 points, the treatment success rates in the test, reference, and placebo groups were 60.8% (73/120), 52.1% (62/119), and 11.1% (6/54), respectively, and the corresponding clinical success rates were 61.7% (74/120), 53.8% (64/119), and 13% (7/54), respectively; the test and reference groups did not differ significantly in treatment or clinical success rates (both P > 0.05), but both showed higher success rates than the placebo group (all P < 0.001) ; the results of statistical comparisons among the 3 groups in patients with a baseline PGA score of 4 - 5 points were consistent with those observed in patients with a baseline PGA score of 3 points. The percentage reductions in PGA and TL-PASI scores from baseline to weeks 1, 2, and 4 showed significant differences among the 3 groups, which were significantly higher in the test and reference groups than in the placebo group (all P < 0.001), but did not differ between the test and reference groups (all P > 0.05). The primary adverse reactions were local skin reactions, such as pruritus, pain, and erythema. The incidence rates of adverse reactions were 8.9% (16/179) in the test group, 7.3% (13/179) in the reference group, and 7.8% (7/90) in the placebo group, with no significant difference among the 3 groups ( P > 0.05) . Conclusions:The domestic calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate ointment demonstrated clinical equivalence to the originator product in the treatment of stable plaque psoriasis, and the two agents exhibited comparable efficacy for patients with varying degrees of disease severity, and were comparable in the speed and degree of clinical improvement, with similar favorable safety profiles.

This paper summarized the clinical experience of Professor LIU Shenlin in diagnosing and treating gastric cancer with the thinking of "prescription according to tendency". In this paper, the thinking of diagnosis and treatment for gastric cancer and medication skills were summarized into four dimensions: power, energy, chronology and situation. The diagnosis emphasizes the tendency of qi power, considering that the onset of gastric cancer primarily stems from the disorder of qi movement in zang-fu organs, and emphasizing the importance of regulating the liver and spleen qi to intercept the tendency of disease. It points out that dampness-phlegm-stasis-toxin is a crucial link leading to the metabolic imbalance of body energy, and Professor LIU adepts at using methods such as breaking up blood and expelling stasis, and clearing heat and resolving toxins to block the pathological chain reaction caused by energy imbalance and to restore the homeostasis of the organism. In the treatment process, according to the characteristics of gastric cancer staging and chronological evolution, we will explore the changes of the exuberance and weakness of healthy qi and pathogenic qi in the context of the chronologic tendency, and adjust the dosage of attacking and tonic medicines in different stages of the disease in order to balance and restore the body. The "situation" is in line with the state of consumptive disease in advanced gastric cancer, Professor LIU skillfully uses large doses of Huangqi (Astragalus mongholicus) with flexible combination of medicinals to replenish deficiencies, invigorate qi, and regulate blood vessels.
