Lipidomics is an emerging discipline that systematically studies the various types, functions, and metabolic pathways of lipids within living organisms. This field compares changes in diseases or drug impact, identifying biomarkers and molecular mechanisms present in lipid metabolic networks across different physiological or pathological states. Through employing analytical chemistry within the realm of lipidomics, researchers analyze traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). This analysis aids in uncovering potential mechanisms for treating diverse physiopathological conditions, assessing drug efficacy, understanding mechanisms of action and toxicity, and generating innovative ideas for disease prevention and treatment. This manuscript assesses recent literature, summarizing existing lipidomics technologies and their applications in TCM research. It delineates the efficacy, mechanisms, and toxicity research related to lipidomics in Chinese medicine. Additionally, it explores the utilization of lipidomics in quality control research for Chinese medicine, aiming to expand the application of lipidomics within this field. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to foster the integration of traditional medicine theory with modern science and technology, promoting an organic fusion between the two domains.

Objective: To reveal the molecular basis of the cisAB (p. Met266Leu) glycosyltransferase by studying a proband with cisAB subtype and his family. Methods: A male newborn was selected as the research subject. Tube methods were used to identify ABO blood types of the proband and his family members. PCR-SSP detection, ABO gene sequencing, and cloning analysis were performed on the proband and some family members. The inheritance pattern of the subtype gene in the family was determined through pedigree analysis. Homology modeling was used to analyze the impact of amino acid variations on the structure of the transferase, and molecular docking was used to demonstrate the bifunctional activity of the transferase and the donor-receptor binding conformation. Results: Serological tests showed that the proband and his father had enhanced anti-H agglutination, and the grandmother had a forward and reverse discrepancy. Sequencing of the proband revealed heterozygous variations of c. 297A>G, c. 526C>G, c. 657C>T, c. 703G>A, c. 803G>C, and c. 930G>A compared with A1. 01 (compared with B. 01, lacking the c. 796C>A variation, namely harboring the c. 796A>C variation) and c. 261delG. Combined with cloning analysis, the proband's genotype was determined to be ABO cisAB (c. 796A>C)/ABO O. 01. 01, the father's genotype was ABO cisAB (c. 796A>C)/ABO O. 01. 02, and the grandmother's genotype was ABO cisAB (c. 796A>C)/ABO B102. Pedigree analysis indicated that the cisAB allele in this newborn was inherited from his father and grandmother rather than a natural mutation. Homology modeling showed that the side chain orientation and intermolecular forces of Leu266 in the cisAB (p. Met266Leu) transferase changed, and molecular docking demonstrated that the "binding pocket" of the active center of the variant enzyme could accommodate both UDP-GalNAc and UDP-Gal, indicating that the cisAB enzyme structure has bifunctional activity. Conclusion: The bifunctional activity of this cisAB (p. Met266Leu) enzyme is related to the nucleotide variation of c. 796A>C, and molecular docking indicates that the enzyme has dual affinity for A/B sugar donors.

Objective To statistically analyze the perioperative results of patients with ABO-incompatible kidney trans-plantation(ABOi-KT),in order to explore the changes in blood group antibody of type-A/B recipients.Methods A total of 33 cases of blood group A/B ABOi-KT recipients in our hospital from January 2021 to October 2023 were recruited and divided into two groups of group A(n=18)and group B(n=15)according to the different blood types of recipient.The effects of preoperative plasmapheresis on antibody titer,antibody rebound and renal function after operation(serum urea ni-trogen,creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate on the 1st,3rd,7th and 14th day)were analyzed between the two groups.According to the postoperative rebound of blood type antibodies,33 recipients were divided into antibody rebound group(n=7)and non rebound group(n=26),and the differences in initial blood type antibody titers between the two groups were analyzed.Results There was no significant difference in the clearance rate of IgM with preoperative plasma ex-change between the two groups(Z=-0.26,P＞0.05);Levels of serum urea nitrogen and creatinine on the 1st,3rd,7th and 14th day after operation between group A and group B were not statistically significant(P＞0.05),the same as eGFR.Group B was more prone to rebound antibody compared with group A(P＜0.05).There was a significant difference in the in-itial IgM antibody titer between the blood type antibody rebound group and the non rebound group(Z=-2.127,P＜0.05),but no statistically significant difference in the initial IgG antibody titer(Z=-1.835,P＞0.05)between the two groups was found.Conclusion The patients type B receiving type AB kidney donors are more prone to rebound antibody after ABOi-KT operation compared to the the patients type A receiving type AB.

Objective:To study the molecular basis for a proband with A subtype B of the ABO blood group and explore the influence of amino acid variant on the activity of glycosyltransferase (GT).Methods:A proband who had presented at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University on July 2, 2020 was selected as the study subject. Serological identification of the ABO blood groups of the proband and her family members were performed by gel card and test tube methods. The ABO gene of the proband was identified by PCR-sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) and DNA sequencing. A 3D molecular homologous model was constructed to predict the impact of the variant on the stability of α-(1→3)-D-N-acetylgalactosamine transferase (GTA). Results:The red blood cells of the proband, her mother and two younger brothers showed weak agglutination with anti-A and strong agglutination with anti-B. The sera showed 1~2+ agglutination with Ac and no agglutination with Bc. Based on the serological characteristics, the proband was identified as AwB subtype. Pedigree analysis suggested that the variant was inherited from her mother. The blood group of the proband was identified as A223B type by PCR-SSP. ABO gene sequencing analysis showed that the proband has harbored heterozygous variants of c. 297A>G, c. 467C>T, c. 526C>G, c. 657C>T, c. 703G>A, c. 796C>A, c. 803G>C, c. 930G>A and c. 1055insA. Based on the results of clone sequencing, it was speculated that the genotype was ABO* A223/ ABO* B.01. There were c. 467C>T and c. 1055insA variants compared with ABO* A1.01, and c. 1055insA variant compared with ABO* A1.02. Homologous modeling showed that the C-terminal of A223 GT was significantly prolonged, and the local amino acids and hydrogen bond network have changed. Conclusion:Above results revealed the molecular genetics mechanism of A223B subtype. The c. 1055insA variant carried by the proband may affect the enzymatic activity of GTA and ultimately lead to weakening of A antigen.

Background::Breast cancer (BC) risk-stratification tools for Asian women that are highly accurate and can provide improved interpretation ability are lacking. We aimed to develop risk-stratification models to predict long- and short-term BC risk among Chinese women and to simultaneously rank potential non-experimental risk factors.Methods::The Breast Cancer Cohort Study in Chinese Women, a large ongoing prospective dynamic cohort study, includes 122,058 women aged 25-70 years old from the eastern part of China. We developed multiple machine-learning risk prediction models using parametric models (penalized logistic regression, bootstrap, and ensemble learning), which were the short-term ensemble penalized logistic regression (EPLR) risk prediction model and the ensemble penalized long-term (EPLT) risk prediction model to estimate BC risk. The models were assessed based on calibration and discrimination, and following this assessment, they were externally validated in new study participants from 2017 to 2020.Results::The AUC values of the short-term EPLR risk prediction model were 0.800 for the internal validation and 0.751 for the external validation set. For the long-term EPLT risk prediction model, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.692 and 0.760 in internal and external validations, respectively. The net reclassification improvement index of the EPLT relative to the Gail and the Han Chinese Breast Cancer Prediction Model (HCBCP) models for external validation was 0.193 and 0.233, respectively, indicating that the EPLT model has higher classification accuracy.Conclusions::We developed the EPLR and EPLT models to screen populations with a high risk of developing BC. These can serve as useful tools to aid in risk-stratified screening and BC prevention.

Objective To understand the management status of emergency and life support medical equipment in town-ship health centers in Huazhou City,providing a reference for improving emergency service levels in grassroots medical institu-tions.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey of physicians,nurses,medical technicians,public health personnel,and administrative and logistical staff in 24 township health centers in Huazhou City.The survey focused on seven aspects:procurement and configuration,upgrades,operational use,maintenance,emergency handling,management systems,and quality assessment and monitoring.Results Training on emergency and life support equipment was generally adequate in Huazhou City(65.2％).Health centers in northern and central Huazhou performed better than those in the urban and southern areas regarding equipment training,emergency handling procedures for equipment failures,regular emergency drills,meeting clinical treatment needs,management system completeness,routine maintenance and inspections,and regular quality assessments.Factor analysis revealed significant issues with equipment aging and quality in urban township health cen-ters,while northern township health centers urgently needed life-sustaining and therapeutic equipment.Conclusion There are regional disparities in the management levels of emergency and life support medical equipment in township health centers in Hua-zhou City.It is recommended to enhance the overall quality of personnel in township health centers,optimize"effective training"for staff,and improve annual management plans to further elevate grassroots emergency service capabilities.

Abstract Early rehabilitation activity is an important way to improve functional impairment in stroke patients. However, there are no clear standards and opinions on the optimal start time, dosage and frequency of early rehabilitation activity. It is generally believed that early rehabilitation activity should start at 24 to 48 hours after stroke, and individual programs should be developed according to the assessment of stroke type, severity of disease, tolerance degree and other factors. This review searches domestic and international literature related to early rehabilitation activity and summarizes the start time, dose, frequency and content of early rehabilitation activity, as well as the cognition and attitude of medical workers towards it, so as to provide insights into studies and clinical applications of early rehabilitation activity.

Objective:To investigate the molecular biological mechanism of Bw07 allele and its transferase alteration carried by a proband of ABw07 subtype.Methods:A 2-year-old male child was selected as the research object. The peripheral blood of the proband and his parents was identified for ABO blood type by the test tube method, and the ABO subgroup PCR-SSP detection and ABO gene sequencing were performed on the three individuals to determine their blood type genotypes. Finally, the effect of the p.Arg352Gln mutation on Bw07 transferase was verified by virtual mutation, DUET structure prediction, molecular dynamics analysis, and in vitro cellular experiments.Results:The serological phenotypes of the proband and his mother were ABw and Bw, respectively, while his father was normal A. The ABO subgroup PCR-SSP assay identified the three genotypes as Bw07/A, Bw07/O, and A/A, respectively.Sanger sequencing further verified that the proband and his mother carried the Bw07 gene, and virtual mutation showed that the intermolecular forces were weakened by the R352Q mutation. DUET predicted that this p.Arg352Gln mutation could affect the thermodynamic stability of Bw07 transferase. Molecular dynamics analysis confirmed that the alteration of thermodynamic stability was mainly related to the appearance of large fluctuations in the amino acid backbone atoms in the 125-133, 193-198 and 336-354 regions, and in vitro cellular experiments further verified the weakened antigen synthesis of Bw07 transferase.Conclusion:The formation of the ABw07 phenotype is associated with the mutation of the highly conserved Arg352 to Gln in Bw07 transferase.
