Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has been used for the control and prevention of infectious diseases for thousands of years.Due to its characteristics of multiple components and multiple targets,it shows promising therapeutic prospects in the field of anti-infection.Here,we provide a detailed introduction to the current application of various omics technologies,such as metabolomics,proteomics,genomics,and transcriptomics in the study of TCM's anti-infective properties.The application of omics technologies can help explore the active components and their targets in TCM that contribute to its anti-infective effects;elucidate the biosynthetic pathways of active components,aiding in the discovery of new active ingredients;and investigate the mechanisms by which TCM affects pathogenic microorganisms,as well as interpret the mechanisms of TCM's synergy with antibiotics.As more research findings are produced and validated,the role of TCM in addressing the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance will become increasingly prominent through the integration of multi-omics and multidisciplinary research methods in the future.

Objective:To investigate the mediating effect of psychological stress between sleep disorder and fatigue in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) .Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 305 ACS patients with PCI from August to September 2024 in China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University. General Information Questionnaire, Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (MFI-20), Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to survey the patients at discharge, and one month after discharge.Results:The MFI-20, SCL-90, and PSQI scores at discharge of 305 patients with PCI for ACS were (59.27±18.33), (141.09±49.08), and (10.72±4.95), respectively. The MFI-20, SCL-90, and PSQI scores at one month after discharge were (55.58±19.28), (134.08±44.29), and (9.17±5.20), respectively. Mediating effect analysis showed that at discharge, the direct effect of sleep disorder on fatigue was 0.403, the mediating effect was 0.216, and the total effect was 0.619, with the mediating effect accounting for 34.89% of the total effect. One month after discharge, the direct effect of sleep disorder on fatigue was 0.385, the mediating effect was 0.355, and the total effect was 0.740, with the mediating effect accounting for 47.97% of the total effect.Conclusions:Psychological stress plays a mediating role between sleep disorder and fatigue at different time points in ACS patients undergoing PCI. Clinical attention should be paid to sleep disorders and psychological stress of ACS patients undergoing PCI, so as to improve their fatigue.

BACKGROUND: The available evidence regarding the benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on patients receiving dialysis with coronary artery disease (CAD) is limited and inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate the association between PCI and clinical outcomes as compared with medical therapy alone in patients undergoing dialysis with CAD in China. METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted in 30 tertiary medical centers across 12 provinces in China from January 2015 to June 2021 to include patients on dialysis with CAD. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke. Secondary outcomes included all-cause death, the individual components of MACE, and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria types 2, 3, or 5 bleeding. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between PCI and outcomes. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and propensity score matching (PSM) were performed to account for potential between-group differences. RESULTS: Of the 1146 patients on dialysis with significant CAD, 821 (71.6%) underwent PCI. After a median follow-up of 23.0 months, PCI was associated with a 43.0% significantly lower risk for MACE (33.9% [ n  = 278] vs . 43.7% [ n  = 142]; adjusted hazards ratio 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.45-0.71), along with a slightly increased risk for bleeding outcomes that did not reach statistical significance (11.1% vs . 8.3%; adjusted hazards ratio 1.31, 95% confidence interval, 0.82-2.11). Furthermore, PCI was associated with a significant reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities. Subgroup analysis did not modify the association of PCI with patient outcomes. These primary findings were consistent across IPTW, PSM, and competing risk analyses. CONCLUSION This study indicated that PCI in patients on dialysis with CAD was significantly associated with lower MACE and mortality when comparing with those with medical therapy alone, albeit with a slightly increased risk for bleeding events that did not reach statistical significance.

Objective To explore potential genes associated with the pathogenesis of hypospadias using weighted Gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA).Methods The WGCNA algorithm was used to process the hypospadias-related dataset GSE35034,and then a gene co-expression weight network was constructed to screen the modules with the highest correlation with hypospadias,and the genes in the modules were enriched and detected by gene ontology(GO),Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG).Differential analysis was also performed to screen out differential genes.The differential genes were imported into the String database.Using Cytoscape software,the hub genes in the network were identified.The results screened by the above three methods were combined and analyzed,and the core genes in the intersection set were screened.Using the external dataset GSE121712,the core genes were verified by mRNA expression changes and subject work characterization receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve diagnosis.Results Fifteen co-expression modules were obtained based on the WGCNA method.Ninety-three common differential genes meeting the conditions were obtained by differential analysis.Ten core genes were finally obtained by Cytoscape software analysis.Finally MEbrown module,differential genes and the 10 core genes yielded a total of 2 intersecting genes:FBXL16 and SYNDIG1.ROC curves verified that the intersecting genes were differentially expressed in patients with hypospadias versus normal subjects.Conclusion In this study,two key genes with significant correlation with hypospadias were obtained by WGCNA,which may be used for the early diagnosis and treatment of hypospadias after further study.

Objective:To study the clinical value of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS) strategy combined with early intestinal fluid reinfusion among neonates receiving jejunostomy due to intestinal obstruction.Methods:From December 2018 to December 2022, neonates with intestinal obstruction receiving jejunostomy in the Department of Neonatal Surgery of our hospital were prospectively enrolled. They were randomly assigned into ERAS group and traditional treatment (TT) group after surgery. The ERAS group was treated with ERAS strategy plus early intestinal fluid reinfusion. The TT group was treated with conventional gastrointestinal decompression, analgesia as needed and enteric fluid reinfusion according to the amount of defecation. The postoperative parenteral nutrition (PN) duration (T pn), central venous catheter (CVC) duration (T cvc), daily weight gain, duration of postoperative hospital stay (T hos), complications and readmission rate within 30 days were compared between the two groups. Results:A total of 22 cases were included in the ERAS group and 20 cases were in the TT group. T pn [(22.6±9.4) d vs. (30.7±11.3) d], T cvc [(5.9±0.8) d vs. (9.9±2.1) d] and T hos [(26.8±9.8) d vs. (33.8±11.5) d] in the ERAS group were significantly shorter than the TT group ( P<0.05). No significant difference existed in daily weight gain between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative gastrointestinal mucosal bleeding in the ERAS group was significantly lower than the TT group (13.6% vs. 45.0%)( P<0.05). No significant differences existed in the following items between the two groups: feeding intolerance, PN-associated cholestasis, CVC-related bloodstream infection, intestinal fluid reinfusion-related complications, premature closure of fistula and readmission rate within 30 days (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The application of ERAS strategy plus early intestinal fluid reinfusion in neonates with enterostomy is safe and feasible, which can reduce the postoperative durations of PN, CVC and hospital stay and accelerate the recovery.

OBJECTIVE：To establish a method for the determination of aloesin in plasma of rats ，and to investigate pharmacokinetic characteristics of aloesin. METHODS ：The plasma samples were precipitated with methanol. Using aloeresin D as internal standard ，the plasma concentration of aloesin was determined by LC-MS/MS. The determination was performed on Synergi Hydro-RP column with mobile phase consisted of 0.1‰ formic acid-methanol （gradient elution ）at the flow rate of 0.50 mL/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃，and sample size was 5 µL. The electrospray ionization source was applied to carry out negative ion detection with multiple reaction monitoring mode . The ion transitions for quantitative analysis were m/z 393.1→272.9（aloesin） and m/z 555.3→144.9（internal standard ），respectively. The concentration of aloesin in venous blood was determined by above method at 0.083，0.167，0.333，0.667，1，1.5，2.5，4，6，8，10 h after intravenous injection （3.35 mg/kg）and intragastric administration（16.75 mg/kg）of aloesin. DAS 3.0 software was used to calculate pharmacokinetic parameters. RESULTS ：The linear range of aloesin were 1-600 ng/mL（r＝0.994 5）. The lower limit of quantification was 1 ng/mL，and RSDs of within and between batches were less than 15％；accuracies within and between batches were within ±15％. The matrix factors were （92.74± 4.33）％-（94.84±2.57）％，and extraction recoveries were （69.04±2.13）％-（75.03±2.84）％；the deviation between the measured results of the stability test and the theoretical values were within ±15％. After intravenous injection and intragastric administration of aloesin ，main pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows ：cmax were（10 693.3±2 745.3）and（223.3±36.2）ng/mL；t1/2 were （2.45±1.45）and（3.33±1.91）h；AUC0－24h were（4 190.6±883.6）and（1 210.1±93.9）ng·h/mL（n＝3）. Absolute bioavailabi- lity was 11.13％. CONCLUSIONS ：The established method is rapid and sensitive for plasma determination of aloesin ，and suitable for its pharmacokinetic study.
