Aim To explore the compatibility and po-tential mechanism of effective components of Biejia-Ezhu against triple negative breast cancer(TNBC)and verify it by experiments.Methods Effective compo-nents and targets of Biejia-Ezhu were obtained by TC-MSP and Swiss Target Prediction.Disease targets of TNBC were obtained from OMMI and GeneCards data-bases.The PPI network was constructed using STRING database.GO and KEGG path enrichment analysis was performed using DAVID database.Cytoscape3.9.1 software was used to construct the"drug-component-target-disease"network,screen key targets and compo-nents for molecular docking,and further verify the com-patibility of key components and targets in vitro.Re-sults ① A total of 71 effective components were iden-tified in the Biejia-Ezhu drug pair.There were 146 drug targets associated with the disease.A total of 113 signaling pathways were identified by KEGG analysis.The 71 potential active components of Biejia-Ezhu mainly acted on key targets such as mTORC1,ULK1,TNF,EGFR,ESR1,STAT3,HIF1A,and PTGS2.Mo-lecular docking results showed that glycine and curcu-min were the key active components of Biejia-Ezhu,and both had strong docking activity against key target proteins mTORC1 and ULK1.②The results of in vitro experiment showed that glycine combined with curcu-min significantly inhibited the proliferation and clonal formation ability of TNBC cells(P＜0.05),up-regula-ted the expression of autophagy marker LC3 Ⅱ/Ⅰ,down-regulated the expression of EGFR,down-regula-ted the expression of pathway protein mTORC1,p-mTOR,p-ULK1,and promoted the expression of path-way protein ULK1(P＜0.05).Conclusion The key component of Biejia-Ezhu against triple-negative breast cancer is glycine-curcumin,the mechanism of which may be related to the regulation of the mTORC1/ULK1 signaling pathway to promote autophagy.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the bacterial communities of biting midges and ticks collected from three sites in the Poyang Lake area,namely,Qunlu Practice Base,Peach Blossom Garden,and Huangtong Animal Husbandry,and whether vectors carry any bacterial pathogens that may cause diseases to humans,to provide scientific basis for prospective pathogen discovery and disease prevention and control. Methods Using a metataxonomics approach in concert with full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing and operational phylogenetic unit(OPU)analysis,we characterized the species-level microbial community structure of two important vector species,biting midges and ticks,including 33 arthropod samples comprising 3,885 individuals,collected around Poyang Lake. Results A total of 662 OPUs were classified in biting midges,including 195 known species and 373 potentially new species,and 618 OPUs were classified in ticks,including 217 known species and 326 potentially new species.Surprisingly,OPUs with potentially pathogenicity were detected in both arthropod vectors,with 66 known species of biting midges reported to carry potential pathogens,including Asaia lannensis and Rickettsia bellii,compared to 50 in ticks,such as Acinetobacter lwoffii and Staphylococcus sciuri.We found that Proteobacteria was the most dominant group in both midges and ticks.Furthermore,the outcomes demonstrated that the microbiota of midges and ticks tend to be governed by a few highly abundant bacteria.Pantoea sp7 was predominant in biting midges,while Coxiella sp1 was enriched in ticks.Meanwhile,Coxiella spp.,which may be essential for the survival of Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann,were detected in all tick samples.The identification of dominant species and pathogens of biting midges and ticks in this study serves to broaden our knowledge associated to microbes of arthropod vectors. Conclusion Biting midges and ticks carry large numbers of known and potentially novel bacteria,and carry a wide range of potentially pathogenic bacteria,which may pose a risk of infection to humans and animals.The microbial communities of midges and ticks tend to be dominated by a few highly abundant bacteria.

Objective To observe the effect of multi-modal hand hygiene(HH)intervention on HH compliance,as well as the relationship between HH compliance and the healthcare-associated(HA)case infection incidence.Methods From 2014 to 2022,the infection control team in a tertiary first-class hospital implemented multi-modal HH intervention for health care workers(HCWs).The changing trend of HH monitoring data,the correlation be-tween HH compliance rate and HA case infection incidence were analyzed retrospectively.Results The consump-tion of HH products in the wards showed a stable upward trend;HH compliance rate increased from 64.98％in 2014 to 85.01％in 2022(P＜0.001),and HA case infection incidence decreased from 1.21％to 0.83％(P＜0.05).HH compliance rate was negatively correlated with HA case infection incidence(r=-0.369,P=0.027).HH compliance rates in different regions and job posts in each quarter were increased(P＜0.001).For 5 different HH moments in each quarter,HH compliance rate fluctuated slightly before sterile manipulation and after touching patient;presented rising trend after touching surroundings around patient,and decreased before touching patient and after touching patient's body fluid since 2020(P＜0.001).Conclusion Multi-modal HH intervention can im-prove the HH compliance of HCWs,improving their HH awareness is conducive to reducing HA case infection incidence.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Zhuangxuan Yin in the treatment of children with H1N1 pneumonia through regulating gut microbiota mediated by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38-MAPK)pathway.Methods A BALB/c mouse model of H1N1 pneumonia was prepared using the H1N1 influenza virus allantoic solution for nasal drop.The model was randomly separated into 5 groups:model group,Zhuangxuan Yin low-,medium-and high-dose groups,and high-dose Zhuangxuan Yin(28.66 g·kg-1)+anisomycin(10 mg·kg-1)group.The control group was infused with sterile physiological saline of equal volume using the same method.After treatment with Zhuangxuan Yin and anisomycin,the lung index of mice in each group was measured,and HE staining was applied to detect the pathological morphology of lung and large intestine tissues.16SrRNA gene sequencing was applied to detect the structural difference of gut microbiota in mice of each group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELASA)was applied to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-4,IL-6,and IL-1β in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)and large intestine tissue of mice in each group.Western Blot was applied to detect the expression of p38-MAPK pathway-related proteins in lung and large intestine tissues of mice in each group.Results Compared with the control group,the lung and large intestine tissues of the model group mice showed obvious pathological damage,the lung index,pathological score of lung and large intestine,ACE index,Shannon index,abundance of class Clostridia,the levels of TNF-α,IL-4,IL-6,and IL-1β in BALF and large intestine tissues,and p-p38-MAPK/p38-MAPK in lung and large intestine tissues increased(P＜0.05).The abundance of class Bacteroidales decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the pathological damage in the lung and large intestine tissues of mice in the Zhuangxuan Yin low-,medium-and high-dose groups were reduced.The lung index,pathological score of lung and large intestine,ACE index,Shannon index,abundance of class Clostridia,the levels of TNF-α,IL-4,IL-6,and IL-1β in BALF and large intestine tissues,and p-p38-MAPK/p38-MAPK in lung and large intestine tissues decreased(P＜0.05),the abundance of class Bacteroidales increased(P＜0.05),and in a dose-dependent manner(P＜0.05).Compared with the high-dose Zhuangxuan Yin group,the pathological damage in the lung and large intestine tissues of mice in the high-dose Zhuangxuan Yin+anisomycin group was aggravated,the lung index,pathological score of lung and large intestine,ACE index,Shannon index,abundance of class Clostridia,the levels of TNF-α,IL-4,IL-6,and IL-1β in BALF and large intestine tissues,and p-p38-MAPK/p38-MAPK in lung and large intestine tissues increased(P＜0.05),and the abundance of class Bacteroidales decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Zhuangxuan Yin can improve the imbalance of intestinal microbiota in H1N1 pneumonia mice by inhibiting p38-MAPK signal activation,thereby inhibiting inflammation and reducing lung and large intestine tissue damage in mice,which may have a therapeutic effect on children with H1N1 pneumonia.

Aim To disclose the subcellular localiza-tion,expression pattern,cellular physiological function and possible molecular mechanism of C12ORF56,a novel gene located at q14.2 of chromosome 12,in the pathogenesis of lung cancer.Methods ONCOMINE database was applied to investigate the mRNA level dif-fering of C12ORF56 between normal and lung cancer tissues.Analysis based on LinkedOmics,Metascape,String and GSEA database or tools provided indication of potential cellular physiological functions of C12ORF56 in the developing of lung cancer.C12ORF56 was knocked down via siRNA and the pro-liferation of NCI-H1073 cells were observed by EdU and CCK-8 assay.RT-qPCR was used to detect the ex-pression level of C12ORF56 of lung cancer cells on dif-ferent cycle phases.The core sequence regions of pro-moter affecting the transcription of C12ORF56 gene were analyzed by Jaspar online-tools and verified by dual-luciferase assay.Results C12ORF56 was highly expressed in lung cancer cells,especially in squamous cell lung cancer.C12ORF56 correlated with cell cy-cle,cancer immune,DNA replication.Knockdown of C12ORF56 reduced NCI-H1703 cell proliferation.Conclusion The up-regulation of C12ORF56 is in-volved in the development of lung cancer by enhancing lung cancer cell proliferation.

AIM To investigate the effects of Sanshiliudang Kange Powder on airway inflammation in bronchial asthma remission of mice.METHODS Seventy-eight BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the blank group,the model group,the dexamethasone group(0.5 mg/kg)and the low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose Sanshiliudang Kange Powder groups(9.3,18.6 and 37.2 g/kg).Except for those of the blank group,the mice of the other groups were sensitized by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin(OVA)and aluminum hydroxide mixture,and induced into models of asthma remission followed by 28 days consecutive corresponding drug administration which was initiated on the 77th day of modeling.The mice had their pulmonary pathological changes observed by HE staining;their levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,HMGB1 and NF-κB in serum and alveolar fluid determined by ELISA;and their pulmonary protein expressions of TLR4,MyD88,NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65 determined by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the model group,each group intervened with a drug displayed significantly reduced pulmonary pathological injury and inflammation;decreased levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,HMGB1,NF-κB in serum and BALF(P＜0.01);and decreased pulmonary protein expressions of TLR4,MyD88,p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65(P＜0.01).Generally,the medium-dose Sanshiliudang Kange Powder group demonstrated a very good efficacy,which was only inferior to that of the dexamethasone group.CONCLUSION Sanshiliudang Kange Powder has a good inhibitory effect on airway inflammation in bronchial asthma remission of mice,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibited activation of HMGB1/TLR4/MyD88 signal pathway.
