This paper summarizes Professor LU Fang's clinical experience in treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) based on the differentiation and treatment of heat-toxin and blood-stasis in the collaterals. SLE is generally characterized by deficiency in origin with excess in manifestation. The core pathogenesis is heat-toxin obstructing the collaterals. During the acute active stage, the predominant pattern is blazing heat-toxin causing blood stasis, while in the chronic remitting stage, the main pattern is toxic stasis blocking the collaterals with qi and yin deficiency. Clinical treatment follows the basic principle that treat with salty-cold herbs, when heat invades internally and that assist with acrid-dispersing herbs when stasis obstructs the collaterals. The self-formulated Yimian Decoction (抑免汤) serves as the base formula and is applied in stages. During the acute active stage, it is often combined with herbs for clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and resolving stasis, and unblocking the collaterals. In the chronic remitting stage, it is often combined with herbs for activating blood circulation and unblocking the collaterals, as well as tonifying qi and nourishing yin.

Atherosclerotic plaques arise within the vessels, yet their morphological evolution parallels that of carbuncles and abscesses. Drawing on the pathomechanism progression of carbuncles and abscesses, this paper proposes a dynamic pathogenesis model of "constraint-putrefaction-ulceration" for atherosclerotic plaques. The formation of atherosclerotic plaque begins with phlegm-turbidity obstruction and qi-blood stagnation (constraint stage); prolonged constraint transforms into heat that scorches the vessels and forms plaques (putrefaction stage); ultimately, toxin invades inward and ruptures the vessels, injuring the heart (ulceration stage). Accordingly, staged differentiation and treatments are proposed. During the constraint stage, the focus is venting constraint and unblocking collaterals, clearing and relieving constraint-heat, for which Yue Jyu Pills (越鞠丸) and Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder (丹栀逍遥散) with modifications can be used. During the putrefaction stage, the method is clearing heat and dispelling abscesses, resolving stasis and dissipating knot, with modified Wuwei Xiaodu Beverage (五味消毒饮) and Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction (血府逐瘀汤). During the ulceration stage, it is suggested to expell toxin and stasis, benefit qi and nourish yin using modified Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction (瓜蒌薤白半夏汤) and Sheng Mai Powder (生脉散). This framework offers new perspectives for the differentiation and treatment of atherosclerotic plaques in traditional Chinese medicine.

Soil cadmium (Cd) pollution is one of the major environmental problems globally. Ophiopogon japonicus, a multifunctional plant extensively used in traditional Chinese medicine, has demonstrated potential in environmental remediation. This study investigated the Cd accumulation pattern of O. japonicus under cadmium stress and identified the heavy metal ATPase (HMA) family members in this plant. Our results demonstrated that O. japonicus exhibited a Cd enrichment factor (EF) of 2.75, demonstrating strong potential for soil Cd pollution remediation. Nine heavy metal ATPase (HMA) members of P1B-ATPases were successfully identified from the transcriptome data of O. japonicus, with OjHMA1-OjHMA6 classified as the Zn/Co/Cd/Pb-ATPases and OjHMA7-OjHMA9 as the Cu/Ag-ATPases. The expression levels of OjHMA1, OjHMA2, OjHMA3, and OjHMA7 were significantly up-regulated under Cd stress, highlighting their crucial roles in cadmium ion absorption and transport. The topological analysis revealed that these proteins possessed characteristic transmembrane (TM) segments of the family, along with functional A, P, and N domains involved in regulating ion absorption and release. Metal ion-binding sites (M4, M5, and M6) existed on the TM segments. Based on the number of transmembrane domains and the residues at metal ion-binding sites, the plant HMA family members were categorized into three subgroups: P1B-1 ATPases, P1B-2 ATPases, and P1B-4 ATPases. Specifically, the P1B-1 ATPase subgroup included the motifs TM4(CPC), TM5(YN[X]4P), and TM6(M[XX]SS); the P1B-2 ATPase subgroup featured the motifs TM4(CPC), TM5(K), and TM6(DKTGT); the P1B-4 ATPase subgroup contained the motifs TM4(SPC) and TM6(HE[X]GT), all of which were critical for protein functions. Molecular docking results revealed the importance of conserved sequences such as CPC/SPC, DKTGT, and HE[X]GT in metal ion coordination and stabilization. These findings provide potential molecular targets for enhancing Cd uptake and tolerance of O. japonicus by genetic engineering and lay a theoretical foundation for developing new cultivars with high Cd accumulation capacity.

As green, sustainable, and environmentally friendly material processing processes using biological cells or enzymes to achieve substance conversion, bioprocesses play an increasingly important role in biomanufacturing. It is difficult to optimize bioprocesses because of the complex relationship at multiple levels and multiple scales. The knowledge of mesoscale behaviors is the key to understanding the dynamics of bioprocesses and to sort out the complex relationships of parameter variations in the spatial-temporal domain. Mesoscale numerical simulation paves a way for understanding these phenomena, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and mesoscale simulation offers new vitality into the optimization of bioprocesses. This article reviews the progress in mesoscale simulation and AI optimization of bioprocesses and discusses the possible development directions, aiming to promote the development of this field.

Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that can cause chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and other gastrointestinal diseases. The World Health Organization has classified H. pylori as a group Ⅰ carcinogen. Antibiotics are the primary clinical approach for eradicating H. pylori. However, incomplete eradication of H. pylori by antibiotics can lead to persistent infection, which is a major risk factor for the high incidence of gastric cancer. The widespread use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug resistance in H. pylori, contributing to treatment failures of chronic gastric diseases and increasing the risk of spreading resistant strains. Multidrug-resistant H. pylori has become a serious challenge in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. This paper reviews the global trends in the development of multidrug resistance in H. pylori, the underlying mechanisms, the challenges it poses to clinical diagnosis, and its impact on drug development, drawing on relevant literature and the research findings from our group. It proposes using cgt expression as a novel method for determining viable bacteria, identifying intracellularization as a new form of resistance in H. pylori, and exploring the potential of O-glycans as a therapeutic approach against H. pylori to address multidrug resistance. It provides new insights into understanding the mechanisms of H. pylori multidrug resistance and its prevention strategies, offering promising directions for future clinical treatments and antimicrobial drug development.

Objective:To analyze the results of next generation sequencing (NGS) gene testing in liquid-based cytological specimens of lung adenocarcinoma cavity and evaluate the clinical efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment.Methods:Liquid based cytological specimens of 222 cases of lung adenocarcinoma with cavity effusion and 201 cases of metastatic lymph node biopsy were collected. Specimens were obtained from the Cytology Laboratory of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The collection period was from January 2018 to December 2022. The results of NGS gene detection were compared. The clinical efficacy of 91 patients treated with EGFR-TKI was evaluated, and the survival curve was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier and other statistical methods.Results:The mutation rates of cancer-related genes detected by NGS were 82.0% (182/222) vs 79.1% (159/201), ( P=0.455) in liquid-based cytological specimens and histological specimens of metastatic lymph node biopsy, respectively. However, the mutation rate of EGFR T790M was significantly higher in cavity effusion than in lymph node biopsy specimens [12.2%(27/222)>3.5%(7/201), P=0.001]. The results of gene mutation were identical in 10 of the 13 cases with cavity effusion and metastatic lymph node biopsy, and the agreement rate of EGFR was 84.6%(11/13). In 3 inconsistent cases, EGFR mutations were detected in 2 cavity effusion cases that were not detected by lymph node biopsy. Results of genetic analysis of fluid-based cytological samples of 91 patients with cavity effusion were evaluated after drug treatment with EGFR-TKI. The mean progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients was 11.4 months (95% CI: 9.9-12.9). The mean PFS of patients harboring EGFR mutation was 12.3 months (95% CI: 10.8-13.9), and the mean PFS of EGFR wild type was 4.1 months (95% CI: 2.1-6.2). Conclusions:The results of NGS gene detection in liquid-based cytological specimens of lung adenocarcinoma patients with cavity effusion show that the PFS time is similar to that of histological specimens after clinical treatment with EGFR-TKI, which proves the reliability of NGS gene detection results in liquid cytological specimens. NGS gene testing appears higher sensitivity in cavity liquid-based samples than in metastatic lymph node samples.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of adverse reactions of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), and provide a basis for the rational clinical application.Methods:The adverse drug reaction (ADR) cases of SGLT2i reported by Beijing from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024 were collected through searching the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System of China. The Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) terminology set was used to standardize the description of ADR, and the involving system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) was extracted. Data of ADR were analyzed descriptively and statistically. Results:A total of 409 SGLT2i-related adverse reaction reports involving 409 patients were included. Among these patients, there were 232 females and 177 males; the median age was 62(52, 70) years, and 231 cases (56.48%) were under the age of 65 years; 5 types of SGLT2i (dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, canagliflozin, ertugliflozin, and henagliflozin proline) were involved, and reports of dapagliflozin was the most (279 cases, 68.22%). The primary indication for medication was diabetes (404 cases, 98.78%). The majority of ADRs did not reach the severe level (395 cases, 96.58%). The 14 cases (3.42%) of severe ADR were primarily about diabetic ketoacidosis (11 cases, 11/14), of which 7 cases presented with normal blood glucose levels and 5 cases occurred after medical stress events. The outcomes of patients were improvement in 241 cases (58.92%) and recovery in 127 cases (31.05%). In total, 476 ADR occurrences were recorded among the 409 patients, involving 82 PTs, 24 of which were not listed in the drug labels. The top 2 SOCs were the infections and infestations [26.26% (125/476)] and renal and urinary disorders [13.87% (66/476)]; the top 3 PTs were urinary tract infection [23.32% (111/476)], urinary ketone detection [6.51% (31/476)], and vulvovaginal pruritus [5.88% (28/476)]; the top 3 newly identified possible ADRs (PTs) were dizziness [2.31% (11/476)], palpitations [1.89% (9/476)], and decreased appetite [1.05% (5/476)].Conclusions:Based on the ADR monitoring data in Beijing in the past 5 and a half years, SGLT2i-associated adverse reactions primarily involved the infections and infestations, and renal and urinary disorders. ADRs identified in the study such as dizziness and palpitations are not documented in the drug labels, euglycaemic ketoacidosis accounts for a high proportion of severe reactions, and most of them occur after acute stress events.
