Aim To identify the underlying target of bullatine A(BA)against rheumatoid arthritis(RA)u-sing limited proteolysis-small molecule mapping(LiP-SMap)drug target proteomics and to provide a scientif-ic basis for clinical application of Aconiti brachypodi Radix in the treatment of RA.Methods LiP-SMap drug target proteomics was employed to perform bioin-formatics analysis for comparing and validating the dif-ferential protein expression after BA intervention.A collagen-induced arthritis(CIA)model was estab-lished in DBA/1 mice using bovine type Ⅱ collagen.The mice were then divided into the CIA model group,methotrexate-positive control group(MTX group),and BA groups(10 mg·kg-1 and 20 mg·kg-1)based on their clinical scores.After drug intervention,the thera-peutic efficacy against RA was assessed by joint index scores and foot thickness measurements.Histopatholog-ical changes in the arthritic joints of CIA mice were e-valuated using hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was employed to detect inflammatory cytokines interleukin-17(IL-17)and total IgG and IgG3 anti-collagen-spe-cific antibodies levels from the serum of CIA mice.Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression levels of intracellular Th17 cells(IL-17+CD4+T cells)and Th1 cells(IFN-γ+CD4+T cells).Fluorescent quanti-tative PCR was performed to detect the expression of genes related to differential proteins.Results The proteomic analysis identified Serpinb1a as a protein with strong binding affinity to BA,and KEGG enrich-ment analysis indicated IL-17 signaling pathway was a crucial pathway of BA in against RA.BA treatment significantly reduced clinical scores and foot thickness,improved local arthritis symptoms in CIA mice,and al-leviated inflammatory cell infiltration into arthritic joints(P＜0.05).Differential protein validation re-sults showed that BA had strong affinity with Serpinb1a(-5.92 kJ·mol-1)and downregulated the expres-sion of Serpinb1a mRNA.Furthermore,the administra-tion of BA markedly reduced serum IL-17 A levels from CIA mice,inhibited the expression of intracellular IL-17 A and IFN-γ cytokines in splenic CD4+T cells(P＜0.05),and significantly downregulated the transcrip-tional expression of IL-17F(P＜0.05).Conclusion BA exhibits therapeutic effects on collagen-induced arthritis,and its mechanism of action may involve the regulation of Serpinb1a and the IL-17 signaling path-way.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of colorectal polyps in patients with melanosis coli(MC),analyze the recurrence risk after polypectomy,and construct a prediction model for polyp recurrence.Methods A total of 1,763 patients who underwent colorectal polypec-tomy at the First Hospital of Handan from January 2017 to June 2023 were divided into MC group(n=149)and non-MC group(n=1,614).Among them,122 patients in the MC group underwent colonoscopic re-examination one year later and were further divided into recurrence group(n=52)and non-recurrence group(n=70)based on polyp recurrence.The characteristics of colorectal polyps and recurrence risk after polypectomy in MC patients were analyzed.A multivariable Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a polyp recurrence risk model,and the nomogram model was plotted using R studio software.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration curve,and decision curve analysis were employed to evaluate the discrimination,calibration,and clinical practicality of the model.Results The detection rates of large polyps(≥1.0 cm),right-sided colon polyps,multiple polyps(≥3 polyps),and Yamada type Ⅰ polyps in the MC group were significantly higher than those in the non-MC group,while the detection rates of left-sided co-lon polyps and Yamada type Ⅳ polyps were significantly lower(P＜0.05).The detection rates of adenomatous polyps and polyps with mild dysplasia in the MC group were significantly higher than those in the non-MC group,whereas the detection rate of polyps with moderate dysplasia in the MC group was significantly lower(P＜0.05).Significant differences were observed between the recur-rence and non-recurrence groups in terms of a history of cholecystectomy,Helicobacter pylori(Hp)in-fection,and family history of colorectal cancer(P＜0.05).There were also significant differences in the distribution,size,and the number of initial polyps between the two groups(P＜0.05).Multivari-able Logistic regression analysis identified cholecystectomy,Hp infection,first-degree relatives with colorectal cancer,polyp size(≥1 cm),and multiple polyps(≥3 polyps)as independent risk factors for polyp recurrence after polypectomy(P＜0.05).Based on these factors,a recurrence prediction model was constructed.The area under the curve(AUC)of this model was 0.824(95％CI,0.753 to 0.895),indicating good discrimination.The calibration curve showed a good fit.Decision curve anal-ysis demonstrated a high net benefit within the threshold range of 0.1 to 0.8,suggesting that the mod-el had a wide range of beneficial thresholds and clinical practical value.Conclusion Compared with the non-MC group,the MC group has higher detection rates of large polyps,right-sided colon pol-yps,multiple polyps,Yamada type Ⅰ polyps,adenomatous polyps,and polyps with low-grade dys-plasia,but lower detection rates of left-sided colon polyps,Yamada type Ⅳ polyps,and polyps with moderate dysplasia.Cholecystectomy,Hp infection,first-degree relatives with colorectal cancer,large polyps(≥1 cm),and multiple polyps(≥3 polyps)are independent risk factors for polyp re-currence after colorectal polypectomy in MC patients.The recurrence prediction model constructed based on these factors has high practical value.

Objective To identify risk factors for colorectal adenomatous polyps using logistic regression analysis,construct a prediction model based on these identified factors,and subsequently evaluate the performance of the model.Methods Encompassed 1,023 patients who underwent large intestine polyp resection at the First Hospital of Handan between January 2017 and January 2022.Among these patients,676 had adenomatous polyps(adenomatous polyp group)and 347 had non-adenomatous polyps(non-adenomatous polyp group).We collected data on basic information,medical history,colonoscopy results,and polyp pathology.By comparing the two groups,we identified significant differences in various indicators,which were selected as candidate factors for model construction.Patients were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set at an 8∶2 ratio.Using the training set data,we constructed a risk prediction model and developed a nomogram using R Studio software to visually present the model.Finally,we internally validated the model using the validation set.The model's discrimination ability was evaluated using the ROC curve,its accuracy was assessed via the calibration curve,and its clinical utility was evaluated through decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of age,drinking habits,family history of colorectal cancer,hyperlipid-emia,history of cholecystectomy,HP infection,and history of appendectomy(P<0.05).These variables were included in the model construction.A total of 818 participants were randomly assigned to the training set,while 205 were allocated to the validation set.Multivariate logistic regression analysis on the training set confirmed that age(OR=1.021,95%CI:1.006～1.036,P=0.006),alcohol consumption(OR=3.440,95%CI:2.251～5.257,P<0.001),first-degree relatives with colorectal cancer(OR=3.775,95%CI:1.881～7.577,P<0.001),hyperlipidemia(OR=3.428,95%CI:2.443～4.808,P<0.001),history of cholecystectomy(OR=3.916,95%CI:1.756～8.735,P<0.001),Helicobacter pylori(HP)infection(OR=3.292,95%CI:2.309～4.693,P<0.001),and history of appendectomy(OR=3.819,95%CI:2.002～7.286,P<0.001)were independent risk factors for adenomatous polyps.Consequently,a prediction model for large intestine adenomatous polyps was developed using the formula P=1/(1+e-Y),where Y=0.020×age+1.328×first-degree relatives with colorectal cancer+1.235×alcohol consumption+1.232×hyperlipidemia+1.365×cholecystectomy+1.192×HP infection+1.340×appendectomy-1.995.The model demonstrated good performance with AUC values of 0.763(95%CI:0.729～0.797)for the training set and 0.769(95%CI:0.644～0.787)for the validation set.The calibration curve indicated a good fit,and decision curve analysis showed that the model could achieve positive net benefit across a wide range of threshold probabilities,confirming its clinical utility.Conclusions Age,alcohol consumption,a family history of colorectal cancer in first-degree relatives,hyperlipidemia,cholecystectomy,HP infection,and appendectomy were identified as independent risk factors for adenomatous polyps.A prediction model incorporating these risk factors holds significant practical value for predicting the occurrence of colorectal adenomatous polyps.

Fatty liver is common disease of nutritional metabolism in the perinatal period,character-ized by elevated levels of NEFA in the blood and disorders of lipid metabolism.High concentra-tions of NEFA damage mitochondria and promote the release of reactive oxygen species(ROS).At the same time,lipid peroxidation occurs in lipid accumulation in hepatocytes,producing free radi-cals such as ROS,which leads to oxidative stress in the liver.When the level of intracellular ROS increases,thioredoxin-interacting protein(TXNIP)activates nucleotide-binding oligomerization structure-like protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasomes,and oxidative stress can regulate pyroptosis,but it is unclear whether reactive oxygen species(ROS)produced by oxidative stress in hepatocytes can mediate pyroptosis and induce liver injury in dairy cows through the TXNIP/NLRP3 pathway.In this study,liver tissue samples from healthy dairy cows and fatty liver cows were collected,and NEFA was used to construct a fatty liver cell model,and triglyceride(TG)content and oxidative stress related indicators were detected by kit.Western blot was used to detect the activation of NL-RP3 inflammasomes,the inflammatory pathway of NF-κB and the expression levels of pyroptosis-related proteins.Fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the relative expression level of inflammatory factor mRNA.The results showed that compared with the healthy(control)group,the TG content of fatty liver tissue and fatty liver cells was significantly increased(P＜0.05),the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and the protein expression levels of TXNIP,NLRP3,GSDMD-N and Caspase-1 were significantly up-regulated(P＜0.05).The results of the antioxidant model of fatty hepatocytes using NEFA and antioxidants(NAC)showed that compared with the fatty hepatocyte model,the content of ROS in hepatocytes was sig-nificantly reduced,and oxidative stress,NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis were alle-viated.In summary,this study found that when fatty liver disease occurs in dairy cows,ROS pro-duced by oxidative stress in the liver can mediate pyroptosis through the TXNIP/NLRP3 path-way,which can lead to liver injury in fatty liver cows.
