AIM:To analyze the influencing factors of postoperative malignant glaucoma(MG)in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG)using logistic regression and decision tree models.METHODS:A retrospective study was conducted on PACG patients who underwent surgery at Eye Hospital of Handan City from March 2020 to March 2025. Patients were divided into two groups: the MG group, who developed MG within 6 mo postoperatively, and the non-MG group. Data were collected from the electronic medical record system. Univariate analysis was performed, followed by multivariate logistic regression to identify independent risk factors. A classification and regression tree model was constructed to visualize the hierarchical relationships among predictors. The predictive performance of the two models was evaluated and compared using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.RESULTS:Totally 182 cases(182 eyes)with PACG were enrolled in this study, including 91 cases(91 eyes)in the MG group and 91 cases(91 eyes)in the non-MG group. In the MG group, there were 53 males and 38 females; 69 cases were aged ≥60 y and 22 cases were aged <60 y. In the non-MG group, there were 47 males and 44 females; 33 cases were aged ≥60 y and 58 cases were aged <60 y. The non-MG group comprised 91 patients, including 47 males and 44 females. Among them, 33 cases were aged ≥60 y, and 58 cases were aged<60 y. The MG group had significantly higher proportions of patients aged ≥60 y, diabetes, moderate-stage PACG, persistent high intraocular pressure(IOP), complete anterior chamber angle closure, lens thickness <4.5 mm, axial length <22 mm, and severe postoperative inflammation compared to the non-MG group(all P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression identified the following as independent influencing factors for postoperative MG: age [OR (95%CI)=2.136(1.401-3.255)], PACG stage [OR (95%CI)=2.996(2.044-4.391)], IOP [OR (95%CI)=3.527(1.604-7.755)],anterior chamber angle [OR (95%CI)=4.826(2.498-9.324)], axial length [OR (95%CI)=5.125(1.265-20.771)], and severe postoperative inflammation [OR (95%CI)=2.338(1.478-3.699)](all P<0.05). The decision tree model selected six explanatory variables: age, PACG stage, IOP, anterior chamber angle status, axial length, and severe postoperative inflammation. Axial length was the primary splitting factor at the root node. The areas under the ROC curve(AUC)for the logistic regression and decision tree models were 0.913(0.863-0.950)and 0.921(0.872-0.956), respectively, with no significant difference between them(Z=0.561, P=0.575).CONCLUSION:Both the logistic regression and decision tree models effectively identify key influencing factors for postoperative MG in PACG patients, including age, PACG stage, IOP, anterior chamber angle status, axial length, and severe postoperative inflammation. The decision tree model offers an intuitive, visual representation of risk stratification, facilitating clinical decision-making. Both models are applicable for clinical risk assessment.

Objective:To discuss the construction of a NOD-signal regulatory protein α(SIRPA)gene knock-in mouse model based on clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein(Cas)9 technology,and to provide the reference for the establishment of more advanced humanized mouse models.Methods:Based on CRISPR/Cas9 technology,the NOD-background SIRPA gene was knocked into the BALB/c mouse fertilized eggs,and homozygous mice with stable genotypes(SIRPA-KI mice)were obtained through expansion and breeding for experiments;PCR primers were designed,and mouse genotypes were identified by nucleic acid electrophoresis.The mice were divided into C57BL/6 group,BALB/c group,and SIRPA-KI group according to their strains,and 3 mice with similar ages were randomly selected from each group for experiments.Mature bone marrow-derived macrophages were co-incubated with human CD47-Fc fusion protein,stained with Streptavidin PE/Cy7,and the mean fluorescence intensity(MFI)of PE/Cy7 was detected by flow cytometry to compare the ability of SIRPA in the mice from various groups to bind human CD47 Fc.Each mouse was intravenously injected with 2×10? carboxyfluorescein diacetate,succinimidyl ester(CFSE)-labeled human red blood cells,and the phagocytosis of human red blood cells by macrophages in various groups was detected by in vivo phagocytosis assay.One BALB/c mouse and one SIRPA-KI mouse were randomly selected to induce mature bone marrow-derived macrophages,and the phagocytosis of human red blood cells by macrophages in various groups was detected by in vitro phagocytosis assay.Results:BLAB/c SIRPANOD/NOD homozygous mice were successfully obtained.The flow cytometry results showed that compared with C57BL/6 group,the MFI of the mice in BALB/c group was significantly increased(P<0.01);compared with C57BL/6 group and BALB/c group,the MFI of the mice in SIRPA-KI group was significantly increased(P<0.01).The in vivo phagocytosis assay results showed that the macrophages in C57BL/6 group exhibited the fastest overall clearance rate of human red blood cells;at 6 h of macrophage phagocytosis,compared with SIRPA-KI group,the residual percentage of the human red blood cells in C57BL/6 group was significantly decreased(P<0.01)and was closed to 0%;compared with SIRPA-KI group,the residual percentage of the human red blood cells in BALB/c group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).The in vitro phagocytosis assay results showed that the macrophages in BALB/c group significantly phagocytosed the human red blood cells,with a high phagocytic index of 30.7%;compared with BALB/c group,the phagocytic index of the macrophages in SIRPA-KI group was significantly decreased(P<0.01).Conclusion:The study successfully constructs a mouse model with enhanced affinity for human CD47 and significantly inhibited phagocytosis of human red blood cells by knocking the NOD-background SIRPA gene into the BALB/c strain using CRISPR/Cas9 technology,providing a superior human cell xenotransplantation efficiency.

In recent years, the relationship between intestinal flora dysbiosis and abnormal bile acid metabolism and anxiety has received widespread attention. This article discussed the biological mechanism of the pathogenesis of anxiety from the perspective of intestinal flora and bile acid metabolism, in order to provide new ideas and theoretical basis for the TCM prevention and treatment of anxiety. According to TCM, spleen and stomach belong to earth, liver and gallbladder belong to wood, when spleen qi is healthy, the normal distribution of water and grain essence can be achieved, so that the liver can be nourished, qi and blood is sufficient, and its excretory function is normal, and the bile is sufficient. Once the spleen is not healthy, the distribution of water and grain essence is good, affecting the metabolism of fluids, resulting in phlegm and dampness, the qi is not smooth, can affect the liver's excretory function; liver and wood depression for a long time, transgressing the spleen and earth, qi and blood lack of biochemical sources, the formation of soil congestion and wood depression of the pathological phenomenon will appear. From the viewpoint of modern medicine and molecular biology, changes in the structure of intestinal flora affect the organism through neurological, endocrine, immune and metabolic pathways, which is consistent with the pathogenesis of "congestion of the earth"; disorders in the metabolism of bile acids can lead to changes in neurotransmitters and synaptic structure in the brain, causing anxiety symptoms, which is consistent with the characteristics of "wood depression". The bile acid metabolism disorder can cause neurotransmitter and synaptic structure changes in the brain, causing anxiety symptoms, which is consistent with the characteristics of "wood depression". It is important to regulate the intestinal flora and bile acid metabolism pathway to ease the liver and strengthen the spleen to improve anxiety.

ObjectiveTo establish the specific chromatogram and quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker（QAMS） based on linear calibration using two reference substances（LCTRS）， explore the consistency between Hedyotis Herba dispensing granules and standard decoction， and evaluate the quality of the dispensing granules. MethodsHigh performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） specific chromatogram was established based on 15 batches of Hedyotis Herba standard decoction and 10 batches of the dispensing granules， and LCTRS was used to locate chromatographic peaks. The actual retention times of 7 characteristic peaks in the specific chromatogram was measured on 24 different types of C₁₈ columns， taking deacetyl asperulosidic acid and asperulosidic acid as the dual standard compounds， the retention times of the other 5 characteristic peaks were predicted and validated. Based on this， QAMS was developed to determine the contents of four components（deacetyl asperulosidic acid， deacetyl asperulosidic acid methyl ester， asperulosidic acid， and p-coumaric acid）. Then， the relative correction factors of deacetyl asperulosidic acid， deacetyl asperulosidic acid methyl ester and p-coumaric acid were calculated using the reference peak of asperulosidic acid in the dual standard compounds， and each component was quantified accordingly. Finally， the consistency between the dispensing granules and standard decoction was assessed by taking extract rate of the standard decoction， consistency of the specific chromatograms， contents and transfer rates of the indicator components as indexes， and the quality of the dispensing granules was evaluated. ResultsThere were 7 common peaks in the characteristic chromatogram of samples of Hedyotis Herba standard decoction and the dispensing granules， and four of them were identified by reference standards， namely deacetyl asperulosidic acid（peak 1）， deacetyl asperulosidic acid methyl ester（peak 3）， asperulosidic acid（peak 6） and p-coumaric acid（peak 7）. The similarity between the dispensing granules and the standard decoction was >0.9. The absolute deviation in the predicted retention time for each component by LCTRS was lower than that of the relative retention time method. The extract rate of the 15 batches of Hedyotis Herba standard decoction ranged from 7.89% to 14.60%， the contents of deacetyl asperulosidic acid， deacetyl asperulosidic acid methyl ester， asperulosidic acid and p-coumaric acid were 6.62-19.70， 3.83-17.99， 1.57-6.69， 1.62-4.52 mg·g^-1， and the transfer rates of these components from decoction pieces to the standard decoction were 22.89%-39.60%， 34.03%-62.24%， 24.25%-43.70%， and 40.58%-73.71%， respectively. The extract rate， index component contents and transfer rates from decoction pieces to the three batches of Hedyotis Herba dispensing granules（P1-P3）， produced by manufacturer A， were similar to those of the standard decoction prepared from the same batch of decoction pieces， and all fell within the specified range. The contents of the 4 indicator components in 7 batches of the dispensing granules（P4-P10） from manufacturers B-E were all within the range of the content converted from the standard decoction based on the quantity of the dispensing granules. ConclusionThe established specific chromatogram and QAMS based on LCTRS are reasonable and reliable. Based on the evaluation indicators of standard decoction yield， consistency of specific chromatograms， contents and transfer rates of the four index components， the 10 batches of Hedyotis Herba dispensing granules from various manufacturers have exhibited good consistency with the standard decoction， indicating that the current production process is relatively reasonable.

Objective To investigate the effect of drug-eluting bead DACE(DEB-TACE)combined with systemic treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)in different locations.Methods A total of 204 HCC patients who underwent DEB-TACE combined with systemic therapy(targeted and immunotherapy)were retrospectively collected.According to the anatomical location of HCC,86 cases with lesions located at the main trunk of portal vein(PV)or within 1 cm of the first PV branch were classified into central type group,while 118 cases with lesions located at the other areas were classified as peripheral type group.Follow-up was regularly performed after DEB-TACE until August,2024.The objective response rate(ORR)and disease control rate(DCR)at 1,3,6 and 12 months after DEB-TACE,also patients'progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)were compared between groups.Results All patients were followed up for a median of 32.6 months,during which 164 cases died.Significant differences of ORR at 1 and 3 months after DEB-TACE(77.91％[67/86]vs.89.83％[106/118],34.88％[30/86]vs.54.24％[64/118])and DCR at 3 and 6 months after DEB-TACE(51.16％[44/86]vs.66.95％[79/118],34.88％[30/86]vs.50.00％[59/118])were found between groups(all P＜0.05).Patients'PFS(30.18[9.12,48.54]months)and OS(37.36[17.79,56.68])in peripheral type group were better than those in central type group(20.11[11.35,28.87]months and 23.24[3.11,43.47]months,x2=3.971,4.162,P=0.048,0.041).Conclusion The effect of DEB-TACE combined with systemic treatment for peripheral type HCC was better than for central type HCC.

Objective To investigate the histological and cellular bases for the improvement of portal hypertension(PH)by observing liver histopathological changes after treatment in patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension,and to provide a basis for clinical drug development.Methods A total of 322 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis who completed 48 weeks of antiviral therapy or combined anti-fibrotic treatment in 20 hospitals across 12 provinces in China from September 2014 to October 2018 were enrolled,and the noninvasive diagnostic criteria for clinically significant portal hypertension(CSPH)from Baveno Ⅶ were used to assess the severity of PH;43 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CSPH were identified based on liver stiffness measurement(LSM)≥25 kPa before treatment,and according to whether the severity of PH was reduced by≥2 grades after treatment,the patients were divided into PH improvement(n=19)group and PH non-improvement group(n=24).Related data were collected,including demographic data,laboratory tests.Liver fibrosis were assessed,including HE staining and reticular fiber staining;liver microvascular lesions were assessed,including obliterative portal venopathy(OPV),nodular regenerative hyperplasia(NRH),and incomplete septal fibrosis(ISF).Single immunohistochemical staining was performed for von Willebrand factor(vWF),and fibronectin;multiplex immunohistochemical staining was performed for fibrinogen,CD32b,CD31,alpha-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA).The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups,and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups.Results After 48 weeks of treatment,43 patients had significant improvements in red blood cell count,alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index score,liver fibrosis grade,and PH grade(all P<0.05),among whom 19 patients showed a reduction in PH severity by≥2 grades(PH improvement group),while the remaining patients were enrolled as the PH non-improvement group.There was no significant difference in the outcome of liver fibrosis between the two groups(χ2=3.380,P=0.066).Microvascular lesion assessment showed that compared with the PH non-improvement group,the PH improvement group had significantly lower OPV severity,microvascular density(the expression level of vWF),and expression of fibronectin(all P<0.05),while there were no significant differences in NRH severity,ISF severity,and the expression level of fibrinogen between the two groups(all P>0.05).Cytological evaluation showed no significant differences in the expression levels of CD32b,CD31,and α-SMA between the two groups before and after treatment(all P>0.05),and comparison of the expression levels before and after treatment showed that the PH improvement group had a significant increase in the expression level of CD32b(t=-2.007,P=0.045)and a significant reduction in the expression level of α-SMA(t=2.628,P=0.013).Conclusion The pathological features of PH improvement are associated with liver fibrosis regression and the improvement in liver microvascular lesions,and at the cellular level,PH improvement is associated with the dedifferentiation of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and the activated phenotype of hepatic stellate cells.

[Objective]To explore the potential therapeutic targets of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the treatment of lung cancer,based on the differences in gut microbiota,for providing new ideas for the TCM diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.[Methods]Beginning with the TCM theories"Interior-exterior relationship between the lung and the large intestine"and"Simultaneous treatment of lung and intestine",integrating clinical research and empirical evidence,this study aims to clarify the feasibility of treating lung cancer by targeting gut microbiota and to summarize key gut microbiota targets in TCM for lung cancer treatment.[Results]Ancient Chinese medical literature and modern medical research provide a reliable theoretical basis for treating lung cancer based on intestinal microbiota.Empirical clinical prescriptions can regulate the composition and metabolism of gut microbiota.Some of the Chinese medicines in these prescriptions can specifically increase the abundance of key bacteria such as Lactobacillus,Faecalibacterium,and Bifidobacterium,thereby playing a positive role in the treatment of lung cancer.[Conclusion]There is a potential correlation between key gut microbiota in lung cancer patients and Chinese medicine,and regulating gut microbiota may be a target for TCM treatment of lung cancer.In depth exploration of the specific correlation between Chinese medicine and key bacteria,targeting the regulation of gut microbiota to formulate prescriptions,may become a new approach for TCM treatment of lung cancer.

Objective The protective effect and molecular mechanism of electroacupuncture combined with massage on cartilage damage in knee Osteoarthritis rats were explored.Methods 50 SD rats were selected and divided into a control group,a model group,an electroacupuncture group,a massage group,and an electroacupuncture+massage group of 10 rats each using an odd even number method.The rats in the control group were not treated with modeling,and the rats in the other groups were injected with Papain into the articular cavity to build the right knee Osteoarthritis(KOA)model.The massage and electroacupuncture groups were intervened with electroacupuncture and massage for 2 weeks.The improved Le-quesne MG scale was used to evaluate the behavioral performance of rats.The pressure pain value and heat pain threshold of rats before and after intervention were calculated.After eight weeks,the rats were euthanized and abdominal aortic blood was collected.The serum levels of pain mediators(K+),5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),and dopamine(DA)were measured by ELISA in each group of rats.The right knee joint of rats was taken for HE staining Mankin score,TUNEL chondrocyte apoptosis analysis.Toluidine blue staining was used to observe the changes of cartilage matrix polysaccharide;Western blot was used to detect the concentration and expression of cartilage matrix factor type Ⅱ collagen(Collagen Ⅱ),C-terminal peptide(CTX Ⅱ),type Ⅱ collagen C-precursor peptide(CPⅡ),apoptosis related proteins Bax,Bcl-2,Cleared caspase-3,YAP,p-YAP in the knee joint tissues of rats in each group.Results After the establishment of the KOA model,the Lequesne MG score of rats increased significantly(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the Lequesne MG scores of rats in the electroacupuncture group and massage group decreased significantly(P<0.05).The combination of the two can further reduce the Lequesne MG score significantly(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the pain threshold(TWL,MWT)of the model group was downregulated significantly,and the levels of serum pain factors(K+,DA,5-HT)were upregulated significantly(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the pain thresholds(TWL,MWT)of the electroacupuncture group and the massage group were upregulated significantly,while the levels of serum pain factors(K+,DA,5-HT)were downregulated significantly(P<0.05).The combination of the two reflected the highest pain threshold(TWL,MWT)and the lowest serum pain factor(K+,DA,5-HT)levels.The model group rats had significant joint cartilage fissures,cartilage matrix staining and staining area decreased,and Markin score and cell apoptosis ability were improved(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the arrangement degree of the cartilage layer,staining degree of the cartilage matrix,and staining area of the electroacupuncture group and massage group were all improved,while the Markin score and cell apoptosis rate all decreased significantly(P<0.05).The combination can further reduce the Markin score and the degree of chondrocyte apoptosis(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the expression of Collagen Ⅱ,CPⅡ,Bcl-2,and p-YAP proteins in the model group decreased significantly,while the expression of CTX Ⅱ,Bax,and Cleared caspase-3 proteins increased significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of electroacupuncture and massage intervention can significantly improve the pathological state of cartilage injury in rats with osteoarthritis,reduce knee joint pain,inhibit chondrocyte apoptosis,and play a protective role in cartilage injury.Its molecular mechanism may be related to the activation of Hippo YAP signaling pathway,which is worth further research in clinical practice.
