Aim To evaluate the effect of Pien Tze Huang(PTH)on influenza virus susceptibility in re-straint stress-induced H1N1 influenza susceptibility model in mice with emotional disorders and internal heat,guided by the theory of emotional pathogenesis.Methods Mice were infected with H1N1 influenza vi-rus following 18 h of restraint stress.The signs and weight changes of mice were recorded,and the morbid-ity of mice were analyzed.On the fourth day post viral infection,the lung tissue was collected.The pathologi-cal changes and inflammatory factors in lungs were de-tected by HE staining.The expression of NP was as-sessed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.The level of lipid peroxidation end products was detected u-sing a commercial kit and western blot.Redox phos-pholipidomics was analyzed in lung tissue by HPLC-MS/MS.Results PTH significantly reduced the mor-tality of influenza-susceptible mice induced by emotion-al stress,inhibited the expression of NP and the re-lease of inflammatory factors,improved inflammation in lung tissue,and alleviated the accumulation of lipid peroxidation end products.Phospholipid oxidation a-nalysis revealed the elevated levels of oxidized phos-pholipid choline and phosphatidylethanolamine in lung tissue of influenza-susceptible mice,which were signif-icantly reduced by PTH administration.Conclusions PTH exhibits promising efficacy in ameliorating influ-enza virus susceptibility induced by internal heat,and its mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of phospholipid peroxidation.

Objective To study the expression of long noncoding RNA Homeobox D gene cluster antisense growth-associated long noncoding RNA(lncRNA HAGLR)and its downstream target genes in osteoporosis(OP)-tibial fracture(TF)rats,and to explore the effect and mechanism of lncRNA HAGLR on osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs).Methods A total of 30 SD female rats were randomly divided into the sham group,the OP group and the OP-TF group,with 10 rats in each group.Serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP)levels of rats were detected by ELISA.Rats MSC cell line R7500 was induced by osteogenic differentiation induction medium and divided into the MSC group and the Osteogenic-MSC group.R7500 was individually transfected with pcDNA-HAGLR,pcDNA-NC,miR-19a-3p mimic,mimic negative control(NC mimic),miR-19a-3p inhibitor and negative control of miR-19a-3p inhibitor(NC inhibitor),and divided into corresponding groups.The dual luciferase gene report experiment was used to verify the targeting relationship between lncRNA HAGLR and miR-19a-3p and bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP2)and miR-19a-3p.The expressions of lncRNA HAGLR and miR-19a-3p in each group were detected by qRT-PCR.The expressions of BMP2,ALP,collagen Ⅰ(COL-Ⅰ),osteocalcin(OCN),and osteopontin(OPN)were detected by Western blot.ALP staining and AR staining were used to detect the osteogenic differentiation ability of MSC.Results The serum ALP and TRAP levels in the OP group and the OP-TF group were higher than those in the sham group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression levels of lncRNA HAGLR,miR-19a-3p or BMP2 of tibia tissue between the OP group and the sham group(P>0.05),while the expression levels of lncRNA HAGLR and BMP2 of tibia tissue in the OP-TF group were significantly lower than those in the sham group and the OP group(P<0.05),the expression level of miR-19a-3p of tibia tissue in the OP-TF group was higher than those in the sham group and the OP group(P<0.05).Compared with the MSC group,the expression level of lncRNA HAGLR in the Osteogenic-MSC group was significantly increased(P<0.05),while the expression of miR-19a-3p was decreased(P<0.05).The dual luciferase gene report experiment verified that lncRNA HAGLR has a targeting relationship with miR-19a-3p,and miR-19a-3p has a targeting relationship with BMP2.The expression level of miR-19a-3p in the pcDNA-HAGLR group was lower than that in the pcDNA-NC group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression level of lncRNA HAGLR between the miR-19a-3p mimic group and the NC mimic group(P>0.05).Compared with the NC mimic group,the expression level of BMP2 protein in the miR-19a-3p mimic group was decreased(P<0.05),while the expression level of miR-19a-3p was increased(P<0.05).The cells in the pcDNA-HAGLR group had stronger osteogenic differentiation ability and higher ALP activity than those in the pcDNA-NC group(P<0.05).The cells in the miR-19a-3p inhibitor group had stronger osteogenic differentiation ability and higher ALP activity than those in the NC inhibitor group(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of lncRNA HAGLR and BMP2 is decreased and the expression of miR-19a-3p is increased in rats with tibial fracture.Overexpression of lncRNA HAGLR promotes osteogenic differentiation of rat MSCs by targeting the miR-19a-3p/BMP2 axis.

To investigate the existence of tick-borne pathogens infection of rodents at the border of China and the Demo-cratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK).PCR was used to detect the spotted fever group rickettsiae(SFGR)ompA gene,Ehrlichia chaffeensis(Ec)and Anaplasma phagocytophilum(Ap)16S rRNA,Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis(CNm)groEL gene,Bartonella(Ba)rpoB gene,and Francisella tularensis(Ft)fopA gene in rodents samples collected from Ji'an of Jilin province and Kuandian of Liaoning Province.The positivity rates of 132 wild rats spleen samples,SFGR,Ec,Ap,CNm,Ba,and Ft were 9.85％,12.88％,5.30％,3.79％,51.52％,and 6.06％,respectively,with statistical differences in in-fection rates(x2=149.236,P=0.000).The infection rate of Ba was the highest in wild rats in this area.There was no signifi-cant difference in the infection rate of SFGR,Ec,Ap,CNm,and Ft among different rats species,but there were significant differences in the infection rate of Ba(x2=13.36,P=0.010).The infection rate of Apodemus agrarius was the highest.A-mong 132 wild rats specimens,the coinfection rate of the two pathogens was 15.9％(21/132),with Ba as the main species(15/132),and two cases of coinfection with three pathogens were detected.The infection of six tick-borne pathogens is common in wild rats at the China/DPRK border.Co-infection of two or three pathogens indicates a risk of multiple tick-borne pathogens and mixed natural foci of multiple tick-borne infec-tious diseases.

Objective:To investigate the toxic effect of chlorambucil combined with ibrutinib on mantle cell lymphoma(MCL)cell line Jeko-1 and its related mechanism.Methods:The MCL cell line Jeko-1 was incubated with different concentrations of chlorambucil or ibrutinib or the combination of the two drugs,respectively.CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferation of the cells,and Western blot was used to measure the protein expression levels of BCL-2,caspase-3,PI3K,AKT and P-AKT.Results:After Jeko-1 cells were treated with chlorambucil(3.125,6.25,12.5,25,50 μmol/L)and ibrutinib(3.125,6.25,12.5,25,50 μmol/L)alone for 24,48,72h respectively,the cell proliferation was inhibited in a time-and dose-dependent manner.Moreover,the two drugs were applied in combination at low doses(single drug inhibition rate＜50％),and the results showed that the combination of two drugs had a more significant inhibitory effect(all P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the apoptosis rate of the single drug group of chlorambucil(3.125,6.25,12.5,25,50 μmol/L)and ibutinib(3.125,6.25,12.5,25,50 μmol/L)was increased in a dose-dependent manner.The combination of the two drugs at low concentrations(3.125,6.25,12.5 μmol/L)could significantly increase the apoptosis rate compared with the corresponding concentration of single drug groups(all P＜0.05).Compared with control group,the protein expression levels of caspase-3 in Jeko-l cells were upregulated,while the protein expression levels of BCL-2,PI3K,and p-AKT/AKT were downregulated after treatment with chlorambucil or ibrutinib alone.The combination of the two drugs could produce a synergistic effect on the expressions of the above-mentioned proteins,and the differences between the combination group and the single drug groups were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion:Chlorambucil and ibrutinib can promote the apoptosis of MCL cell line Jeko-1,and combined application of the two drugs shows a synergistic effect,the mechanism may be associated with the AKT-related signaling pathways.

Objective:To construct recombinant lentivirus and adenovirus which regulate the expression of c-Cbl gene and evaluate their efficacy.Methods:The interference lentivirus and overexpressed adenovirus targeting human c-Cbl gene were constructed by gene recombination technology.Quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to detect the expression changes in c-Cbl gene and its transcription after leukemia cells(HL60,THP1)were infected by virus.Results:Three recombinant interfering lentiviral vectors targeting human c-Cbl genes to successfully constructed and were identified by DNA sequencing,and the titers of the packaged viruses were all greater than 1 x 108 TU/ml.Among them,shRNA-2 lentivirus had the highest interference efficiency,and the expression of c-Cbl gene and CBL protein were decreased about 95％and 60％respectively after leukemia cells were infected with shRNA-2;In addition,the recombinant overexpression adenovirus targeting human c-Cbl gene was packaged successfully with the virus titer greater than 1 x 109 TU/ml.When leukemia cells were infected with adenovirus,the expression of c-Cbl gene and CBL protein were up-regulated about 10 times and 1.5 times respectively.Conclusion:Both recombinant interfering lentivirus and overexpression adenovirus can efficiently infect leukemia cells and affect the expressions of c-Cbl gene and CBL protein.It will lay a preliminary foundation for the subsequent study on the function of c-Cbl gene in tumor cells.

Objective:To investigate the role of plasma circulating cell-free DNA(cf-DNA)in the screening and diagnosis of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma(MM)and explore the changes of cf-DNA in terms of content and integrality in the assessment of disease in patients treated with chemotherapy.Methods:Peripheral blood specimens were collected from 35 newly diagnosed MM patients and 18 healthy volunteers,and 13 of the 35 patients who had finished 3 courses of standard induction chemotherapy were selected as follow-up group.The ALU247 and ALU115 fragments were used as the target genes,and the cf-DNA content in the plasma of patients and healthy controls was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR).The integrality of cf-DNA was calculated by the ratio of ALU247 to ALU115.Results:Both the concentration of ALU247 and ALU115 fragments and the integrality of cf-DNA in patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls(all P＜0.05).Patients who had underwent 3 courses of induction chemotherapy had significantly decreased concentration of ALU247 and ALU115 fragments and integrality of cf-DNA after treatment(all P＜0.05),and strong positive correlations were manifested between cf-DNA integrality and serum M protein content,as well as proportion of abnormal plasma cells in bone marrow before and after treatment(r=0.703,0.705).Conclusions:Cf-DNA has certain positive significance for the screening and diagnosis of MM.Furthermore,cf-DNA may be a synergism or alternative to serum M-protein content and proportion of abnormal plasma cells in bone marrow in assessing the condition,curative effect and prognosis of patients.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic efficacy and prognostic factors of induction therapy for secondary central nervous system lymphoma(SCNSL).Methods:Clinical data of patients diagnosed with SCNSL from 2010 to 2021 at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively collected.A retrospective cohort study was performed on all and grouped patients to analyze the efficacy and survival.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the adverse prognostic factors.Results:Thirty-seven diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients with secondary central involvement were included in the research.Their 2-year overall survival(OS)rate was 46.01％and median survival time was 18.1 months.The 2-year OS rates of HD-MTX group and TMZ group were 34.3％and 61％,median survival time were 8.7 and 38.3 months,and median progression-free survival time were 8.1 and 47 months,respectively.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age,sex,IPI,Ann Arbor stage were correlated with patient survival time.The median survival time of patients with CD79B,KMT2D,CXCR4.ERBB2,TBL1XR1,BTG2,MYC,MYD88,and PIM1 mutations was 8.2 months,which was lower than the overall level.Conclusion:HD-MTX combined with TMZ as the first-line strategy may improve patient prognosis,and early application of gene sequencing is beneficial for evaluating prognosis.

Objective:To compare the difference between the Evidence Quality Grading System for Public Health Decision-making(PHE-Grading)and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment,Development and Evaluation(GRADE)System in evaluating the quality of evidence for public health decision-making.Methods:Systematic reviews about topic"Public health"were electronically searched in the Cochrane Library database from inception to February 27,2024.EndNote 20 software was used for literature screening,Excel 2021 and SPSS 22.0 software were used for data collation and analysis,and the forest plot was drawn by RevMan 5.4.1 software.Results:A total of 61 systematic reviews were finally included for evidence quality evaluation.The forest plot of GRADE and PHE-Grading evidence grading results showed that high grade[OR:2.39,95%CI(1.21 to 4.75)],moderate grade[OR:0.40,95%CI(0.31 to 0.52)],low grade[OR:0.37,95%CI(0.29 to 0.46)],and extremely low grade[OR:85.11,95%CI(34.80 to 208.11)],and the differences in evidence quality grading results between the two systems were statistically significant.Conclusions:Compared with GRADE,PHE-Grading may be more accurate in grasping the certainty of public health decision-making evidence.Currently,the quality of public health decision-making evidence is still concentrated in low and middle level,and high-quality research still needs to be strengthened to support scientific decision-making.

Objective:To investigate the effect of GRIM-19 on the resistance of carcinoma cells to the chemotherapeutic agent docetaxel in the treatment of PCa.Methods:Using siRNA technology to interfere with the gene expression in PCa cells,we estab-lished a model of GRIM-19 overexpression/knockdown in PCa cells.We investigated the effect of different expression levels of GRIM-19 on docetaxel-induced death of the PCa cells by qPCR,Western blot and flow cytometry,and assessed the value of GRIM-19 in re-ducing the chemotherapy-resistance of PCa cells.Results:GRIM-19 was down-regulated in PCa tissues and cells.Knockout of GRIM-19 significantly decreased the expression of siGRIM19 in the PC-3 and LNCaP cells,and reduced their death rate when treated with docetaxel compared with the control group.The expressions of GRIM-19 mRNA and protein were remarkably upregulated after transfection with GRIM-19,and the overexpressed GRIM-19 promoted the death of the PC-3 and LNCaP cells treated with docetaxel in a dose-dependent manner.Flow cytometry analysis showed a lower apoptosis rate of PC-3-R cells than that of PC-3 cells at different time points of docetaxel-induction at different doses.Conclusion:GRIM-19 is a PCa suppressor gene with a significant facilitating effect on the apoptosis of PCa cells,and the overexpression of GRIM-19 promotes docetaxel-induced PCa cell death and improves the sensitivity of chemotherapy.
