Zhuye Shigaotang is one of the 100 classic prescriptions published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This study used the traceability method and bibliometrics method to analyze the main applicable syndromes, efficacy and meanings, modern disease spectrum, and other aspects of Zhuye Shigaotang, so as to further promote the research and development of this prescription. The results showed that Zhuye Shigaotang originated from the Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and its ingredients included Lophatheri Herba, Gypsum Fibrosum, Pinelliae Rhizoma, Ophiopogonis Radix, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and Oryza sativa. The main applicable syndromes of Zhuye Shigaotang recorded in ancient books included heatstroke, cough and asthma, sores, sweat syndrome, hiccup, insomnia, malaria, headache, blood syndrome, nasosinusitis, laryngitis, etc., involving diseases of internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics. Its pathogenesis was "incomplete residual heat, both Qi and Yin injuries, and stomach-Qi disharmony". The research found that Zhuye Shigaotang could also be used to treat acne, measles, and cholera, and it was especially suitable for the treatment at the later stage of epidemic diseases. Lophatheri Herba and Gypsum Fibrosum in the prescription could clear away heat and relieve vexation. Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma,Ophiopogonis Radix, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, and Oryza sativa could promote body fluid production and invigorate Qi. Pinelliae Rhizoma could harmonize the stomach and stop vomiting. The prescription had stable compatibility and had the effects of clearing away heat, relieving vexation, invigorating Qi, promoting body fluid production, and harmonizing the stomach. Zhuye Shigaotang was widely applied in modern clinical practices, with high application frequency in the digestive system, pediatric-related diseases, respiratory system, infectious diseases, circulatory system, and neuropsychiatric system. The specific symptoms included recurrent aphtha, hiccup, infantile pneumonia, infantile summer fever, unexplained fever, upper respiratory tract infection, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, and late measles.

Objective:To compare the effects on DNA strand break induced by ultra-high dose rate (FLASH) electron beam and conventional irradiation, and investigate whether FLASH effect was correlated with a reduction of radiation response.Methods:Aqueous pBR322 plasmid was treated with FLASH (125 Gy/s) and conventional irradiation (0.05 Gy/s) under physioxia (4% O 2) and normoxia (21% O 2). Open circle DNA and linear DNA were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the plasmid DNA damage was quantified with an established mathematical model to calculate the relative biological effect (RBE) of DNA damage. In some experiments, Samwirin A (SW) was applied to scavenge free radicals generated by ionizing radiation. Results:Under physioxia, the yields of DNA strand breakage induced by both FLASH and conventional irradiation had a dose-dependent manner. FLASH irradiation could significantly decrease radiation-induced linear DNA compared with conventional irradiation ( t=5.28, 5.79, 7.01, 7.66, P<0.05). However, when the aqueous plasmid was pretreated with SW, there was no difference of DNA strand breakage between FLASH and conventional irradiation ( P>0.05). Both of the yields of open circle DNA and linear DNA had no difference caused by FLASH and conventional radiotherapy at normoxia, but were significantly higher than those under physioxia. In addition, the yields of linear DNA and open circle DNA induced by FLASH irradiation per Gy were (2.78±0.03) and (1.85±0.17) times higher than those of conventional irradiation, respectively. Conclusions:FLASH irradiation attenuated radiation-induced DNA damage since a low production yield of free radical in comparison with conventional irradiation, and hence the FLASH effect was correlated with oxygen content.

Objective To explore the effects of different dietary induction models of inulin, resistant starch RS3 and their complexes on the body weight and intestinal flora in mice. Methods A total of 64 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into low-fat control group, low-fat inulin group, low-fat resistant starch RS3 group, low-fat composite group and high-fat control group, high-fat inulin group, high-fat resistant starch RS3 group and high-fat composite group for dietary intervention. The mice were weighed and fresh feces were collected weekly. Diet intervention was continued until the weight of the high-fat control group was more than 14% higher than that of the low-fat control group. The mice were then sacrificed after overnight fasting. Liver and epididymal fat were weighed, and the colon contents were collected for 16S amplicon sequencing analysis. Results In low-fat diet fed mice, the combined induction of inulin and resistant starch RS3 caused a significant decrease in body weight gain. In high-fat diet fed mice, inulin alone and the combined induction both caused a significant reduction in weight gain, and there was no significant difference between the two methods. In the high-fat diet groups, inulin, resistant starch RS3, and the compound could be distinguished by

Objective:To explore and analyze the correlation between miR-31 in peripheral blood and oxidative stress indicators of diabetic nephropathy.Methods:A total of 94 patients with diabetic nephropathy who were admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from September 2019 to September 2020 were selected. Patients were divided into mild diabetic nephropathy [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 60-90 ml/min, 36 cases] group, moderate diabetic nephropathy (eGFR 30-60 ml/min, 27 cases) group and severe diabetic nephropathy (eGFR 0-30 ml/min, 31 cases) group according to the severity of the disease, and 30 healthy people in the same period were selected as the control group. Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-31 in peripheral blood. Serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) and other oxidative stress indicators, as well as serum urea nitrogen, creatinine and glomerular filtration rate. Pearson was used to analyze the correlation between peripheral blood miR-31 and oxidative stress indexes and renal function.Results:The expression of miR-31 in peripheral blood of patients with diabetic nephropathy was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the expression of miR-31 in peripheral blood of patients in severe and moderate diabetic nephropathy group was significantly lower than that in the mild diabetic nephropathy group (all P<0.05), with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum miR-31 expression was negatively correlated with the severity of diabetic nephropathy ( r=-0.526, P<0.05). The levels of serum MDA, SOD and AOPP in the diabetic nephropathy group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the levels of serum MDA, SOD and AOPP in the severe and moderate diabetic nephropathy groups were higher than those in the mild diabetic nephropathy group, with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05). The levels of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in the diabetic nephropathy group were higher than those in the control group, and the glomerular filtration rate was lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The levels of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in the severe and moderate diabetic nephropathy group were higher than those in the mild diabetic nephropathy group, while the level of glomerular filtration rate was lower than that in the mild diabetic nephropathy group, with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression of miR-31 in peripheral blood was negatively correlated with the levels of MDA, SOD, AOPP, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen (all P<0.05), but positively correlated with glomerular filtration rate ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression of miR-31 in peripheral blood gradually decreases with the severity of renal damage. Its level is negatively correlated with oxidative stress indicators of diabetic nephropathy, and positively correlated with glomerular filtration rate, which can be used for for clinical treatment and disease evaluation.

Objective:To analyze the data of ultra-high dose rate (FLASH) radiotherapy in GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) database by bioinformatics method, in order to find the hub genes involved in flash radiotherapy induced acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia.Methods:The gene expression profiles of malignant tumors receiving FLASH radiotherapy were downloaded from GEO database. The R software was used to screen the differential expressed genes (DEGs) and analyze their biological functions and signal pathways. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs was analyzed by online tool of STRING, and Hub genes were screened by Cytoscape plug-in. The expressions of screened Hub genes in acute T lymphoblastic leukemia were identified with TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) and GTEx (Genotype-Tissue Expression) database.Results:Based on the analysis of GSE100718 microarray dataset of GEO database, a total of 12 800 genes were found to be associated with radiosensitivity of acute T lymphoblastic leukemia, of which 61 significantly altered DEGs were selected for further analysis. It was found that these genes were involved in the biological processes of metabolism, stress response, and immune response through the pathways of oxidative phosphorylation, unfolded protein response, fatty acid metabolism, and so on. PPI analysis indicated that HSPA5 and SCD belonged to the Hub genes involved in the regulation of FLASH radiosensitivity, and they were significantly highly expressed in acute T lymphoblastic leukemia combined with TRD/LMO2-fusion gene.Conclusions:Through bioinformatics analysis, the Hub genes involved in regulating the sensitivity of FLASH radiotherapy and conventional radiotherapy can be effectively screened, and thus the gene expression profiles can be used to guide the stratification of cancer patients to achieve a precise radiotherapy.

COVID-19 is caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus, which is characterized by hidden onset, long incubation period, and high contagion. The study found that the COVID-19 not only attacks the respiratory system, but also affects other systems such as the heart, kidney, and digestive tract, and could be combined with multiple system diseases such as acute cerebrovascular disease. If doctors, especially non-infective or respiratory doctors, do not pay great attention to the patient when they are receiving patients, and take good care of them, they may easily cause their own infection. This article summarizes the case of a concealed onset COVID-19 patient with cerebral infarction, which caused a medical staff infection after intravenous thrombolytic therapy, explores its clinical characteristics, treatment process and analyzes its prevention and control links to help the epidemic situation. In the prevention and control, the first-time doctor should pay attention to identification, reduce missed diagnosis, and scientific investigation to reduce occupational infection.
