Aim To analyze serum exosome sequencing data from patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)and normal subjects by using bioinformatics-related methods to construct a competitive endogenous ln-cRNA-miRNA-mRNA(ceRNA)regulatory network,to mine the predicted potential Chinese medicines,and to perform preliminary validation of the biological processes and core Chinese medicines involved in the ceRNA network.Methods We used exoRbase data-base to obtain the expression matrix of differential genes,combined with the raw letter method to con-struct the ceRNA network,and performed GO analysis and KEGG analysis on the differential mRNAs in the network,and used COREMINE database to predict the biological processes and core target genes involved in the ceRNA network,and to screen the herbal medi-cines with potential therapeutic effects;AVECs oxida-tive damage cell model was constructed in vitro,and the cytoskeleton,tube-forming function,cell prolifera-tion,LDH leakage rate,ROS level and p-AKT,AKT,p-PI3K and AKT protein expression were examined to verify the action pathways and targets of the core Chi-nese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza for the treatment of coronary heart disease.Results Compared with nor-mal subjects,395 mRNAs,80 miRNAs,60 lncRNA differential genes,and 80 miRNAs were predicted in serum exosomes of coronary heart disease,and the constructed ceRNA sub-network,mainly consisted of 21 lncRNAs,80 miRNAs,and 82 mRNAs;AKT1,VEGFA,IL1B and other genes in the network.The abnormally expressed mRNAs were involved in biologi-cal processes such as oxidative stress and signaling pathways such as PI3 K/Akt,and Dan Shen,Chuanx-iong and Panax notoginseng were most closely related to exosome-mediated biological processes and core genes in coronary heart disease.The active ingredients of tanshinone ⅡA,the core Chinese medicine,could pro-mote vascular endothelial cell proliferation,tube for-mation,skeleton formation and repair,reduce LDH leakage rate and ROS level,and promote the expres-sion of p-AKT and p-PI3K protein.Conclusion There is a complex ceRNA regulatory network trans-duction in coronary artery disease serum exosomes,and traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat CHD through multi-target intervention,and Dan Shen,Chuanxiong and Panax notoginseng are expected to be candidate sources of traditional Chinese medicine,a-mong which the active ingredient of Dan Shen,tanshi-none ⅡA,activates PI3 K/Akt signaling pathway to play a protective role against oxidative stress-injured cells,and treats CHD.

The biological clock(also known as the circadian rhythm)is the fundamental reliance for all organisms on Earth to adapt and survive in the Earth's rotation environment.Circadian rhythm is the most basic regulatory mechanism of life activities,and plays a key role in maintaining normal physiological and biochemical homeostasis,disease occurrence and treatment.Recent studies have shown that the biologi-cal clock plays an important role in the development of oral tissues and in the occurrence and treatment of oral diseases.Since there is cur-rently no guiding literature on the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,researchers mainly conduct research based on pub-lished references,which has led to controversy about the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,and there are many confusions about how to rationally apply the research methods of circadia rhythms.In view of this,this expert consensus summarizes the characteristics of the biological clock and analyzes the shortcomings of the current biological clock research in stomatology,and organizes relevant experts to summarize and recommend 10 principles as a reference for the rational implementation of the biological clock in stomatology research.

Objective:To establish a set of artificial intelligence (AI) verification rules for blood routine analysis.Methods:Blood routine analysis data of 18 474 hospitalized patients from the First Hospital of Jilin University during August 1st to 31st, 2019, were collected as training group for establishment of the AI verification rules,and the corresponding patient age, microscopic examination results, and clinical diagnosis information were collected. 92 laboratory parameters, including blood analysis report parameters, research parameters and alarm information, were used as candidate conditions for AI audit rules; manual verification combining microscopy was considered as standard, marked whether it was passed or blocked.

Objective:To analyze the metabolic mechanism of papillary thyroid cancer(PTC) in normal and Hashimoto′s thyroiditis(HT) background, and to explore the relationship between HT and PTC.Methods:This study included a matched sample set collected from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital between January 2018 and January 2019, consisting of PTC and paracancular tissue from 31 cases with coexisting HT(HT group), and 30 cases without(NC group), all confirmed pathologically following thyroidectomy. The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography combined with mixed four-stage poles time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was employed to acquire data from the samples. Metabolite differences between the two groups were compared, aiming to identify distinct metabolic mechanisms of PTC under different backgrounds. Metabolic pathway analysis was conducted using Metabo-Analyst 5.0 to explore relevant metabolic pathways.Results:The HT group and NC group shared 7 common differentially expressed metabolites, including arginine, glutamic acid, cysteine, citric acid, malic acid, uracil, and taurine. Logistic regression model combined with receiver operating characteristic(ROC) analysis of these 7 biomarkers yielded excellent discriminatory capacity for PTC(area under ROC curve of HT group and NC group were 0.867 and 0.973, respectively). The common metabolic pathways were taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, arginine biosynthesis, alanine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, and glutamine and glutamic acid metabolism. The specific metabolic pathways in HT group were aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis, glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism.Conclusion:The metabolic profiles of thyroid cancer exhibit significant differences between cases with normal backgrounds and those with HT. The specific pathways for PTC and HT are aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis and the metabolism of glycine, serine, and threonine.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of acidified aliphatic ester in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) in mouse models, and to preliminarily explore its mechanisms of action.Methods:Twenty female BALB/c mice aged 6 to 8 weeks were randomly divided into 2 groups: 5 mice in the blank control group were topically treated with absolute ethanol on both ears (14.3 μl per ear) every day, and 15 mice in the model group were topically treated with calcipotriol liniment (14.3 μl per ear) and 20 g/L ovalbumin (25 μl per ear) on both ears every day for 10 consecutive days to establish AD-like mouse models. From day 11, 15 mice in the model group were randomly divided into 3 groups (5 mice in each group), including AD model group, aliphatic ester group, and acidified aliphatic ester group; in the forenoon, all the 3 groups continued to be topically treated with calcipotriol liniment and ovalbumin to maintain AD-like models; in the afternoon, the aliphatic ester group and acidified aliphatic ester group were topically treated with aliphatic ester and acidified aliphatic ester respectively (10 μl per ear), and no treatment was given to the AD model group. Changes in body weight, ear thickness, ear skin lesion scores, and scratching frequency were observed. Ear skin swabs were obtained from the mice on days 10 and 14 for 16S rRNA gene - based microbial diversity tests. On day 14, mice were sacrificed after reflectance confocal microscopy examinations of the ear skin, ear tissues were resected for hematoxylin and eosin staining, mast cell staining, and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and blood samples were collected for detection of serum IgE levels. One-way analysis of variance was used for analysis of data that met homogeneity of variance criteria, and least significant difference- t test for multiple comparisons. Results:On day 14, the severity of mouse ear lesions was the highest in the AD model group, followed in turn by the aliphatic ester group, acidified aliphatic ester group, and blank control group; compared with the AD model group, the acidified aliphatic ester group showed significantly decreased mouse ear thickness ( F = 897.50, P < 0.001), skin lesion scores ( F = 268.80, P < 0.001), scratching frequency ( F = 64.36, P < 0.001), and epidermal thickness ( F = 256.20, P < 0.001). In addition, RT-qPCR indicated that the expression of inflammatory factors such as interleukin (IL) -33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, IL-4, and tumor necrosis factor-α in lesional areas, and the degree of mast-cell infiltration were all significantly lower in the acidified aliphatic ester group than in the AD model group ( F = 3.38, 8.70, 41.73, 44.30, 134.30, P = 0.049, = 0.001, < 0.001, < 0.001, <0.001, respectively). Microbial diversity tests showed that the acidified aliphatic ester treatment could inhibit the colonization of Staphylococcus spp. in the ears of AD-like mouse models, and the Shannon index and Simpson index significantly differed among the 4 groups ( F = 9.00, 7.92, P = 0.001, 0.002, respectively) . Conclusion:Acidified aliphatic ester could improve skin lesions of AD-like mouse models, possibly by regulating immunity, suppressing inflammation, and restoring skin microecological diversity.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism of tanshinone Ⅱ_(A )(TaⅡ_A) combined with endothelial progenitor cells-derived exosomes(EPCs-exos) in protecting the aortic vascular endothelial cells(AVECs) from oxidative damage via the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt) pathway. The AVECs induced by 1-palmitoyl-2-(5'-oxovaleroyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(POVPC) were randomly divided into model, TaⅡ_A, EPCs-exos, and TaⅡ_A+EPCs-exos groups, and the normal cells were taken as the control group. The cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) was used to examine the cell proliferation. The lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) cytotoxicity assay kit, Matrigel assay, DCFH-DA fluorescent probe, and laser confocal microscopy were employed to examine the LDH release, tube-forming ability, cellular reactive oxygen species(ROS) level, and endothelial cell skeleton morphology, respectively. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the expression of interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR) and Western blot were employed to determine the mRNA and protein levels, respectively, of PI3K and Akt. Compared with the control group, the model group showed decreased cell proliferation and tube-forming ability, increased LDH release, elevated ROS level, obvious cytoskeletal disruption, increased expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of PI3K and Akt. Compared with the model group, TaⅡ_A or EPCs-exos alone increased the cell proliferation and tube-forming ability, reduced LDH release, lowered the ROS level, repaired the damaged skeleton, decreased the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of PI3K and Akt. TaⅡ_A+EPCs-exos outperformed TaⅡ_A or EPCs-exos alone in regulating the above indexes. The results demonstrated that TaⅡ_A and EPCs-exos exerted a protective effect on POVPC-induced AVECs by activating the PI3K/Akt pathway, and the combination of the two had stronger therapeutic effect.
