To investigate the effects and mechanisms of Yougui Pills(YGP) on oxidative damage induced by hydrogen peroxide(H_2O_2) in human ovarian granulosa cells(KGN). The components in serum with low-and high-doses of YGP were analyzed and compared through ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole electrostatic field orbitrap mass spectrometry(UHPLC-QEMS), and selected the serum containing YGP high-dose group to follow-up experiments. To stimulated KGN with 200 μmol·L~(-1) H_2O_2to establish an oxidative damage model, which was divided into normal group, model group, low-, medium-, and high-dose of YGP groups, and the efficacy was further verified on the basis of silencing or overexpressing serine protease inhibitor(Serpina3k), further validating the efficacy based on the silencing or overexpression of Serpina3k. TUNEL staining was used to detect cell apoptosis,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was employed to measure the secretion levels of estradiol(E_2) and 17β-E_2 in KGN, and Western blot was utilized to assess the expression of Serpina3k and proteins related to the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. The results show that compared to the model group, each dose group of YGP not only significantly reduces granulocyte apoptosis and upregulates the secretion levels of E_2 and 17β-E_2, but also significantly upregulates Serpina3k and Nrf2 pathway. Further research has found that overexpression of Serpina3k not only enhances the therapeutic effect of YGP but also increases the expression of Nrf2 and inhibits the expression of Keap1. Conversely, interfering with Serpina3k partially reverses the therapeutic effect of YGP, while also partially. The results indicate that the mechanism by which YGP improves oxidative stress in KGN may be related to its upregulation of Serpina3k expression, which affects the conduction of the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. This study reveals the mechanism by which YGP protects granular cells, providing a certain theoretical basis for its clinical application.

Objective:To systematically summarize, describe, and evaluate the evidence related to convex baseplates use in adult ostomy patients through an evidence map, in order to identify research gaps and future directions.Methods:A systematic search was conducted in Chinese and English databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and PubMed, and others, from database inception to September 2024. Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies on convex baseplates use in adult ostomy patients were included. Literature quality was assessed using the Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0 bias risk assessment tool and the critical appraisal tool for quasi-experimental studies from the Joanna Briggs Institute Centre for Evidence-Based Healthcare. Based on the PICO principle [participant (P) , intervention (I) , comparison (C) , outcome (O) ] , an evidence mapping coding system was extracted and developed by integrating relevant guidelines and consensus. Data extraction and coding were performed using EPPI-Reviewer software, and key evidence characteristics and literature quality were presented using bubble charts.Results:A total of eight randomized controlled trials and six quasi-experimental studies were included. Most of the 14 studies had a high risk of bias. The target populations for interventions were divided into two categories: prevention and treatment. The main complications involved stoma skin-mucosal separation, stoma peristomal dermatitis, and stoma height issues. The main outcome measures included baseplate seal integrity, wound healing, complication rates, clinical symptoms, adverse events, patient acceptance, and quality of life.Conclusions:Most of the studies on convex baseplates has focused on enterostomy patients. The majority of studies have a high risk of bias, and the number of studies is limited. Further clarification is needed on the selection criteria for convex baseplates with different characteristics, and the clinical application effects of convex baseplates urgently need further evaluation.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for treating steroid-refractory gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease (GI-aGVHD) . Methods: This analysis included 29 patients with hematology who developed steroid-refractory GI-aGVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in Huaian Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University from March 2017 to March 2022. Among them, 19 patients underwent FMT treatment (the FMT group) and 10 patients did not (the control group). The efficacy and safety of FMT were assessed, as well as the changes in intestinal microbiota abundance, lymphocyte subpopulation ratio, peripheral blood inflammatory cytokines, and GVHD biomarkers before and after FMT treatment. Results: ① Complete remission of clinical symptoms after FMT was achieved by 13 (68.4%) patients and 2 (20.0%) controls, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Intestinal microbiota diversity increased and gradually recovered to normal levels after FMT and FMT-related infections did not occur. ②The proportion of CD3(+) and CD8(+) cells in the FMT group after treatment decreased compared with the control group, and the ratio of CD4(+), regulatory T cells (Treg), and CD4(+)/CD8(+) cells increased (all P< 0.05). The interleukin (IL) -6 concentration in the FMT group was lower than that in the control group [4.15 (1.91-5.71) ng/L vs 6.82 (2.40-8.91) ng/L, P=0.040], and the IL-10 concentration in the FMT group was higher than that in the control group [12.11 (5.69-20.36) ng/L vs 7.51 (4.10-9.58) ng/L, P=0.024]. Islet-derived protein 3α (REG3α) was significantly increased in patients with GI-aGVHD, and the REG3α level in the FMT group was lower than that in the control group after treatment [30.70 (10.50-105.00) μg/L vs 74.35 (33.50-139.50) μg/L, P=0.021]. Conclusion: FMT is a safe and effective method for the treatment of steroid-refractory GI-aGVHD by restoring intestinal microbiota diversity, regulating inflammatory cytokines, and upregulating Treg cells.

The Compound Cheqian Tablets are derived from Cheqian Power in Comprehensive Recording of Divine Assistance, and they are made by modern technology with the combination of Plantago asiatica and Coptis chinensis. To investigate the material basis of Compound Cheqian Tablets in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy, in this study, the chemical components of Compound Cheqian Tablets were characterized and analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, and a total of 48 chemical components were identified. The identified chemical compounds were analyzed by network pharmacology. By validating with previous literature, six bioactive compounds including acteoside, isoacteoside, coptisine, magnoflorine, palmatine, and berberine were confirmed as the index components for qua-lity evaluation. Furthermore, the content of the six components in the Compound Cheqian Tablets was determined by the "double external standards" quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker(QAMS), and the relative correction factor of isoacteoside was calculated as 1.118 by using acteoside as the control; the relative correction factors of magnoflorine, palmatine, and berberine were calculated as 0.729, 1.065, and 1.126, respectively, by using coptisine as the control, indicating that the established method had excellent stability under different conditions. The results obtained by the "double external standards" QAMS approximated those obtained by the external standard method. This study qualitatively characterized the chemical components in the Compound Cheqian Tablets by applying UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS and screened the pharmacodynamic substance basis for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy via network pharmacology, and primary pharmacodynamic substance groups were quantitatively analyzed by the "double external stan-dards" QAMS method, which provided a scientific basis for clarifying the pharmacodynamic substance basis and quality control of Compound Cheqian Tablets.
