Aim To identify the chemical components of Angelica sinensis(AS)and explore the mechanism of AS in activating blood circulation.Methods UP-LC-Q-TOF-MS was used to identify the chemical com-ponents of AS.The changes of syndrome and patholog-ical section of heart in rats were observed.Hemody-namics and proteomics were measured.Results A to-tal of 270 compounds were identified from AS.It showed that rats of Angelica sinensis group were greatly improved such as arched back,shrugged fur,huddled up and less mobile,purplish paws and tails,whitish ear margins and nasolabial lips,reduced drinking and feed-ing,and slow response to external stimuli;mildly disor-dered myocardial fibre arrangement,myofibre arrange-ment was tighter than that of model group,myocardial fibres were narrower and close to normal,and mild oe-dema,exudation,and inflammatory cell infiltration could be seen in the surrounding area;SAP was signif-icantly lower and LVSP was significantly higher in An-gelica sinensis group(P＜0.05).Proteomics showed that 62 differential proteins were screened in Angelica sinensis group compared to model,GO function were concentrated in the extracellular matrix,cytoskeletal proteins binding and protein hydrolysis negatively regu-lated.KEGG pathway were enriched in signalling path-ways such as complement and coagulation cascades,cellular focal adhesion,leukocyte transendothelial mi-gration and chemokine signalling pathways.Conclu-sions AS probably through the expression of proteins,which modulate the signalling pathways of the comple-ment and coagulation cascade reactions and the con-traction of vascular smooth muscle.

Transcription factor PU.1, as a core member of the ETS family, plays a pivotal role in the multi-lineage differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells, particularly in the regulation of erythroid differentiation. PU.1 orchestrates the process of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation towards erythroid cells by modulating the transcription of lineage-determining factors and interacting with other key transcription factors in a fine-tuned manner. PU.1 plays an irreplaceable role in the development and function of red blood cells, with its abnormal expression closely related to the occurrence and progression of various blood diseases, including leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and various types of anemia. This article comprehensively analyzes the functional roles and molecular mechanisms of PU.1 in various stages of erythroid differentiation, as well as its potential roles in related blood diseases. This review not only deepens our understanding of the mechanism by which PU.1 regulates erythroid differentiation, but also provides theoretical grounds for blood disease therapies based on PU.1.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between Ig class switch recombination(CSR)and mismatch repair(MMR)protein,microsatellite phenotype in extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT lymphoma).Methods:Forty cases of MALT lymphoma archived in the Department of Pathology,Jiading District Central Hospital,Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences were selected as the observation group,and twenty cases of benign lymphoid tissue hyperplasia were as the control group.The expressions of IgG,IgM,IgD,and IgA in both groups were detected by immunohistochemical double staining,and MMR proteins including MLH1,MSH2,MSH6,and PMS2 in both groups were detected by immunohistochemistry.Multiplex fluorescence PCR capillary electrophoresis was used to detect microsatellite phenotype in tumor and adjacent tissues of the experimental group.Results:In the observation group,the proportions of single Ig heavy chain expression(mode Ⅰ),negative expression(mode Ⅱ),and multiple expression(mode Ⅲ)were 65％(26/40),27.5％(11/40),and 7.5％(3/40),respectively,while in the control group were 0(0/20),5％(1/20),and 95％(19/20).The proportion of Ig heavy chain expression mode Ⅰ+Ⅱ in the observation group was 92.5％,which was significantly higher than 5％in the control group(P＜0.0 1).In the observation group,partial deletion of MMR protein was observed in 3 cases(7.5％),including 2 cases of MSH6 deletion and 1 case of both MSH6 and PMS2 deletion.In the control group,there was 1 case(5％)with PMS2 deletion.There was no significant difference in the deletion rate of MMR protein between the two groups(P＞0.05).A total of 5 cases of microsatellite instability(MSI)were detected in the observation group,including 1 case of low-frequency MSI(MSI-L),4 cases of high-frequency MSI(MSI-H),and 2 cases of MSI-H with MSH6 deletion.When the loss expression of MSI-H or MMR protein was counted as a positive result,the MSI-H rate detected by PCR capillary electrophoresis was 10％(4/40),which was slightly higher than the MMR protein deletion rate detected by immunohistochemistry(7.5％,3/40),but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The MMR protein deletion rates among the Ig heavy chain protein expression mode Ⅰ,mode Ⅱ,and mode Ⅲ groups were 0(0/26),18.2％(2/11),and 33.3％(1/3),respectively.There was a statistically significant difference in the constituent ratios among the three groups(P＜0.05).The MMR protein deletion rates among the MSS,MSI-L,and MSI-H groups were 2.9％(1/35),0(0/1),and 50％(2/4),respectively.There was a statistically significant difference in the constituent ratios among the three groups(P＜0.05).MMR protein deficiency was positively correlated with Ig heavy chain expression pattern and MSI(r=0.41,P＜0.05;r=0.48,P＜0.05),but Ig heavy chain expression pattern was not correlated with MSI(r=0.02,P＞0.05).Conclusion:Ig heavy chain CSR detection is helpful for the differential diagnosis of MALT lymphoma.Low frequency MMR protein deletion and MSI-H phenotype exist in MALT lymphoma,which may be of certain value for the study of its occurrence,development and clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks,and to provide a basis for early identification of BPD in twin preterm infants in clinical practice.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks who were admitted to 22 hospitals nationwide from January 2018 to December 2020.According to their conditions,they were divided into group A(both twins had BPD),group B(only one twin had BPD),and group C(neither twin had BPD).The risk factors for BPD in twin preterm infants were analyzed.Further analysis was conducted on group B to investigate the postnatal risk factors for BPD within twins.Results A total of 904 pairs of twins with a gestational age of<34 weeks were included in this study.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group C,birth weight discordance of>25%between the twins was an independent risk factor for BPD in one of the twins(OR=3.370,95%CI:1.500-7.568,P<0.05),and high gestational age at birth was a protective factor against BPD(P<0.05).The conditional logistic regression analysis of group B showed that small-for-gestational-age(SGA)birth was an independent risk factor for BPD in individual twins(OR=5.017,95%CI:1.040-24.190,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of BPD in twin preterm infants is associated with gestational age,birth weight discordance between the twins,and SGA birth.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of auricular thumbtack needle on breast feeding and lactation function in primiparous women with cesarean section, and to explore its mechanism of action from the perspective of lactation-related gene expression. METHODS: One hundred cases of primiparous women with cesarean section were randomly divided into an observation group (50 cases, 3 cases dropped off) and a control group (50 cases, 2 cases were eliminated). The patients in the control group were treated with routine obstetric care. Based on the treatment of the control group, the patients in the observation group were treated with auricular thumbtack needle at Neifenmi (CO₁₈), Xiong (AH₁₀), Xiongzhui (AH₁₁), Shenmen (TF₄), and Jiaogan (AH_6a), etc., with one side of auricular point selected, only once for a total of 3 d. The lactation initiation time, lactation adequacy rate at postpartum 72 h, exclusive breastfeeding rate at postpartum 42 d, and breastfeeding score after treatment were compared between the two groups. Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot method were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of TDP-43, Btn1A1 and XDH. RESULTS: After treatment, the lactation initiation time in the observation group was earlier than that in the control group (P<0.01), and breastfeeding score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.01). The lactation adequacy rate at postpartum 72 h was 63.8% (30/47) in the observation group, which was higher than 41.7% (20/48) in the control group (P<0.05). The exclusive breastfeeding rate at postpartum 42 d was 72.3% (34/47) in the observation group, which was higher than 47.9% (23/48) in the control group (P<0.05). The mRNA and protein expression levels of TDP-43 and Btn1A1 in breast milk in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.01), while there was no statistically significant difference in mRNA and protein expression of XDH in breast milk between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The auricular thumbtack needle in addition to routine care could promote lactation initiation, improve lactation adequacy rate and exclusive breastfeeding rate in primiparous women with cesarean section, and the action mechanism may be related to up-regulation of TDP-43 and Btn1A1 expression.
