Objective: To investigate whether armillariella tabescens polysaccharides (ATPS) alleviates inflamma- tory responses and tissue damage in 5-fluorouracil ( 5-FU ) -induced chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis ( CIM) by inhibiting the TLR4 /MyD88 /NF-κB signaling pathway． Methods: Thirty 8-weeks-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into five groups ( n = 6 per group) : control group，model group ，and ATPS-treated groups (low，medium，high dose : 100，200，400 mg / kg) ．Body weight changes were recorded ; Disease activity in- dex (DAI) scores were evaluated ; small intestinal length and histopathology were measured ; HE staining and his- topathological scoring were performed ; immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of tight junction pro- teins (ZO-1，Occludin) in the small intestine ; serum levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit ; Western blot was employed to quantify ZO-1，Occludin，and TLR4 /MyD88 /NF-κB pathway-related protein TLR4，MyD88，NF-κB p65，IκBα , p-NF-κB p65，p-IκBα protein expression． Results : Compared with the control group，mice in the model group exhibited significant reductions in body weight ，elevated DAI scores ，shortened small intestinal length，increased histopathological scores，marked downregulation of ZO-1 and Occludin expression，and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6．Additionally，protein expression levels of TLR4，MyD88，p-NF- κB p65，and p-IκBα were significantly upregulated ( all P ＜0. 01 ) ． In contrast ，mice in ATPS-treated groups showed dose-dependent improvements，attenuated weight loss，reduced DAI scores，restored intestinal length，de- creased histopathological scores，upregulated ZO-1 and Occludin expression，reduced TNF-α and IL-6 levels，and downregulated TLR4，MyD88，p-NF-κB p65，and p-IκBα protein expression (all P＜0. 01) ． Conclusion ATPS alleviates 5-FU-induced CIM by inhibiting the TLR4 /MyD88 /NF-κB signaling pathway．

Objective:To summarize clinical characteristics and prognosis of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) -related Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) /toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients diagnosed with ICI-related SJS/TEN in Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University from January 2018 to October 2023. Data on clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, treatment and prognosis of the patients were analyzed.Results:A total of 9 patients were diagnosed with ICI-related SJS/TEN, including 8 males and 1 female, with the onset age ranging from 58 to 77 (67.56 ± 7.33) years. ICI were applied to all the 9 patients before onset of SJS/TEN. The latent period was 6 - 261 d, and the median duration was 76 d. All the patients presented with erythema as initial lesions, 3 cases with target lesions, 6 with blisters, and 5 cases with a positive Nikolsky's sign. Oral mucosal damage occurred in 7 cases, eye damage occurred in 6 cases, and urogenital damage occurred in 6 cases. All the 9 cases were treated with systematic glucocorticoids, 7 cases with intravenous immunoglobulin and 7 cases with antibiotics. Eight cases recovered and 1 case died. Among 6 patients followed for an average of 6.92 months, none achieved complete or partial remission, 3 died and 3 experienced disease progression.Conclusions:ICI-related SJS/TEN occurred with a relatively long latent period, and all the cases presented with erythema initially, with mucosal damage present in most of the cases. Management required discontinuation of ICI, and most patients recovered with corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin, however, the prognosis for the primary malignancy remained poor.

Objective:To perform RHD gene detection on a blood sample with serological weak D phenotype.Methods:A specimen received by the People's Hospital of Zhijin County was serologically identified by the microcolumn gel method and saline method.RHD gene detection was conducted by the PCR-SSP method,and the full sequence determination of the 10 exons amplified was performed.The sequencing results were compared with the ISBT database to determine the genotype.Bioinformatics tool was used to predict the functional damage of mutant proteins,and Alphafold-3 was used for tertiary structural modeling of wild-type and mutant RhD proteins,and the structures of the two proteins were compared and analyzed to explore the reasons why mutations lead to weak serological manifestations.Results:The patient's genotype was identified as RHD*DV.5/RHD*01N.01 heterozygote,with the complete deletion of RHD genes on one chromosome,unable to express the D antigen.On the other chromosome,a G＞A mutation occurred at the 697th base of the 5th exon,resulting in a partial D phenotype.This mutation causes internal hydrogen bond changes at the 233 position of RhD protein,resulting in a change in the conformation of the protein,affecting binding to the corresponding antibody.Conclusion:The patient is a heterozygous mutant individual with RHD*DV.5/RHD*01N.01,exhibiting a partial D phenotype serologically.This variation is extremely rare and has been scarcely reported globally.

This study aims to explore the pharmacodynamic material basis of Jinbei Oral Liquid(JBOL) against idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF) based on serum pharmacochemistry and network pharmacology. The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) technology was employed to analyze and identify the components absorbed into rat blood after oral administration of JBOL. Combined with network pharmacology, the study explored the pharmacodynamic material basis and potential mechanism of JBOL against IPF through protein-protein interaction(PPI) network construction, "component-target-pathway" analysis, Gene Ontology(GO) functional enrichment, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. First, a total of 114 compounds were rapidly identified in JBOL extract according to the exact relative molecular mass, fragment ions, and other information of the compounds with the use of reference substances and a self-built compound database. Second, on this basis, 70 prototype components in blood were recognized by comparing blank serum with drug-containing serum samples, including 28 flavonoids, 25 organic acids, 4 saponins, 4 alkaloids, and 9 others. Finally, using these components absorbed into blood as candidates, the study obtained 212 potential targets of JBOL against IPF. The anti-IPF mechanism might involve the action of active ingredients such as glycyrrhetinic acid, cryptotanshinone, salvianolic acid B, and forsythoside A on core targets like AKT1, TNF, and ALB and thereby the regulation of multiple signaling pathways including PI3K/AKT, HIF-1, and TNF. In conclusion, JBOL exerts the anti-IPF effect through multiple components, targets, and pathways. The results would provide a reference for further study on pharmacodynamic material basis and pharmacological mechanism of JBOL.
