Human Respiratory Stem Cells (RSCs) play a crucial role in the maintenance, repair and regeneration of the respiratory system. As a novel therapeutic method, stem cell therapy is a popular research direction in the medical field. And with the in-depth research on the mechanism of pneumonia caused by respiratory infections in recent years, the use of RSCs to explore pneumonia caused by respiratory infections and its therapeutic strategies has become a hot topic. In this paper, we firstly outlined the types of RSCs, summarized the mechanism of pneumonia caused by respiratory tract infections, discussed the advantages of RSCs application and the progress of culture differentiation, and elaborated the therapeutic exploration of RSCs in pneumonia caused by respiratory tract infections.

Objective:To analyze the preferences of medical staff in TCM hospitals in Beijing regarding the achievements transformation of hospital traditional Chinese medicine preparations,and to provide a reference for formulating incentive policies.Methods:233 medical staff from five TCM hospitals in Beijing were taken as the research objects,and surveyed with a questionnaire designed based on the discrete choice experiment(DCE).Mixed logit models and latent class models were then used to analyze their transformation preferences.Results:The mixed Logit model revealed that seven key attributes significantly influenced medical staff's preferences for the achievements transformation of traditional Chinese medicine preparations(P<0.05).Latent class analysis identified three distinct preference groups among respondents:an organization-dependent group(27.0%),a pro-transformation group(61.4%),and a conservative group(11.6%).Conclusions:Medical Staff preferred transformation conditions that increased monthly income;utilized"human use+re-experimentation";involved the hospital's achievements transformation department as the entity;were funded by the hospital;offered a 70%profit share;enabled promotion three years earlier,and assigned patents to the hospital.The study recommends implementing diverse incentive measures and developing differentiated strategies tailored to the distinct Medical Staff categories to facilitate the transformation of hospital traditional Chinese medicine preparations into new drugs.

Potassium-calcium activates channel subfamily N member 3(KCNN3/SK3/KCa2.3)is in-volved in regulating cellular calcium signaling,muscle contraction and neurotransmitter release.Dysregu-lation of the KCNN3 channel is associated with the development of various tumors.We use bioinformatics analysis to identify whether KCNN3 regulates the occurrence and development of stomach adenocarcinoma(STAD)as a prognostic target.By analyzing the Human Protein Atlas(HPA)database and The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,we found that the protein and mRNA levels of KCNN3 were dramatic-ally reduced in STAD,and TCGA database showed that KCNN3 significantly correlated with the prognosis and clinical features of STAD.In addition,we found that high expression of KCNN3 in STAD reduced the IC50 of several drugs in STAD cells,suggesting that high expression of KCNN3 correlated with the drug sensitivity of STAD.To investigate the underlying biological mechanism,we identified a potential KCNN3 interaction factor,tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 7(CD27/TNFRSF7),which is expressed at low levels in STAD.RT-qPCR and Western blotting confirmed that KCNN3 and CD27 positively correlated with each other at protein and mRNA levels,and co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence experiments confirmed that the two proteins interact and colocalize in the cytoplasm.Moreover,we confirmed the inhibitory effect of KCNN3 on the proliferation,migration and invasion of hu-man STAD cells in vitro and in vivo through subcutaneous tumorigenesis and cellular experiments.Fur-thermore,GO/KEGG enrichment analysis showed that KCNN3 was enriched in signaling pathways regula-ting the immune response and calcium or metal ion transport.Lastly,we verified through cell co-culture,RT-qPCR and CCK8 assays that high expression of KCNN3 can promote the increase of T cell activating factor and the killing effect of T cells on STAD cells.Therefore,our results suggest that KCNN3 is a po-tential inhibitory factor affecting the occurrence and progression of STAD.

Objective:To investigate the effect of securinine(SEC)on apoptosis of the human colon cancer cell line SW620,and to elucidate its possible mechanism.Methods:The nude mice with subcutaneously transplanted tumor were divided into control group(n=6),oxaliplatin(OXA)group(n=7),and SEC group(n=7).The volume and mass of subcutaneous tumors in the nude mice were measured in various groups,and the tumor inhibitory rates in various groups were calculated.The SW620 cells were treated with different doses(5-120 μmol·L-1)of SEC for 12,24,48,and 72 h,respectively.Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay was used to assess the survival rates of cells in various groups,and the optimal doses of SEC were confirmed.The SW620 cells were divided into control group,20 μmol·L-1 SEC group,40 μmol·L-1SEC group,and 40 μmol·L-1OXA group.TUNEL staining method and flow cytometry were used to detect the apoptotic rates of cells in various groups.JC-1 staining was used to detect the mitochondrial membrane potentials of cells in various groups,and 2',7'-dichlorodi-hydrofluorescin diacetate(DCFH-DA)fluorescence staining and flow cytometry were used to measure the reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels in the cells in various groups.Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of cytochrome C,B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax),c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK),phosphorylated JNK(p-JNK),mitogen-activated protein kinase p38,phosphorylated p38(p-p38),extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)and phosphorylated ERK(p-ERK)proteins in the cells in various groups.Results:Compared with control group,the volume and mass of subcutaneously transplanted tumors in the nude mice in SEC group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 or P＜0.001);the inhibitory rates of tumor in SEC group and OXA group were 20.42％and 6.50％.The CCK-8 assay results showed that compared with 0 μmol·L-1 SEC,when the SEC dose exceeded 20 μmol·L-1,the survival rates of SW620 cells were significantly decreased(P＜0.001).The optimal condition for subsequent experiments was set as doses of 20 μmol·L-1SEC and 40 μmol·L-1SEC,and duration of 24 h.The TUNEL results showed that compared with control group,the apoptotic rates of cells in 20 and 40 μmol·L-1 SEC groups were significantly increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.001).The results of flow cytometry showed that compared with control group,the apoptotic rate in 40 μmol·L-1SEC group was significantly increased(P＜0.001).The JC-1 staining results showed that compared with control group,the mitochondrial membrane potentials of cells in 20 and 40 μmol·L-1 SEC groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.001).Compared with control group,the levels of ROS detected by DCFH-DA fluorescence staining in the cells of 20 and 40 μmol·L-1 SEC groups and 40 μmol·L-1 OXA group were significantly increased(P＜0.001),while the level of ROS detected by flow cytometry in 40 μmol·L-1SEC group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with control group,the expression levels of Bcl-2 protein in the cells in 20 and 40 μmol·L-1 SEC groups and 40 μmol·L-1 OXA group were decreased(P＜0.01),while the expression levels of cytochrome C and Bax proteins were increased(P＜0.001).Compared with control group,the ratios of p-JNK/JNK,p-p38/p38 and p-ERK/ERK in 20 and 40 μmol·L-1 SEC groups were significantly increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 or P＜0.001).Conclusion:SEC can inhibit the proliferation of SW620 cells,increase the cellular ROS levels,reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential,and induce the mitochondrial apoptosis;its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling pathway.
