Objective:The differentially expressed genes(DEGs)and activated signaling pathways in systemic sclerosis(SSc)were screened by bioinformatics methods,and Chinese medicines for potential treatment of SSc were explored,providing a new theoretical basis for the study of SSc and the screening of potential markers.Methods:The data sets GSE58095,GSE130953,GSE33463 and GSE58613 were selected from GEO database and divided into skin group and peripheral blood group according to the sample source.The DEGs of SSc patients was analyzed by R language,and the Wayne diagram was drawn to take the intersection of the two groups.Metascape was used for GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis,and STRING and Cytoscape were used for protein interaction network analysis to find key pathways and hub genes.The core genes were mapped to the medical on-tology information retrieval platform,and related Chinese medicines for SSc treatment were screened.The effective components of Chi-nese medicines were obtained through TCMSP and HERB databases,and the target letters of active ingredients were obtained through swiss database.The"drug-active ingredient-target"network was constructed by Cytoscape.Results:Total 218 DEGs were identified from the skin group of patients with SSc,and 283 DEGs were screened from peripheral blood of patients with SSc.Among them,there were 7 DEGs co-upregulated in skin and peripheral blood,namely ISG15,LGALS3BP,BST2,C1QB,IFI27,CEACAM1 and FBP1.CAMK2N1 was up-regulated in skin but down-regulated in peripheral blood,ARG1 was down-regulated in skin but up-regulated in pe-ripheral blood.GO and KEGG analysis of SSc DEGs showed that these genes were significantly enriched in inflammatory response,he-moglobin complex,immune receptor activity and extracellular matrix.The results of protein interaction network suggest that more than 10 genes such as COL1A1,CTGF12,IL1B,IFNG and JUN may be potential markers of SSc and core genes of therapeutic targets.The potential Chinese medicines screened for SSc treatment include ginseng,sanguisorba,convolvula,wolfberry,safflower,etc.The main components of these herbs were β-sitosterol,quercetin,kaempferol,stigmasterol,luteolin,sitosterol,Spinasterol,and the target were AKR1B1,AR,CYP1B1,XDH,etc.Conclusion:This study uses bioinformatics to screen out core genes that may be potential markers and therapeutic targets for SSc,which is expected to be a new target for the early diagnosis and mechanism research of SSc.Meanwhile,the mapped Chinese medicine and its effective components can provide ideas for the research and development of Chinese medicine compounds for the treatment of SSc.

Objective To comparO thO Officacy and safOty of concurrOnt chOmoradiothOrapy and sOquOntial chOmoradiothOrapy in thO trOatmOnt of locally advancOd non -small cOll lung cancOr ( NSCLC). Methods From SOptOmbOr 2016 to FObruary 2018, 88 patiOnts with locally advancOd NSCLC admittOd to Li Huili East Hospital wOrO randomly dividOd into synchronous group ( 45 casOs) and sOquOntial group ( 43 casOs). ThO synchronous group rOcOivOd concurrOnt radiothOrapy and chOmothOrapy, whilO thO sOquOntial group was givOn radiothOrapy aftOr 4 cyclOs of chOmothOrapy. Both two groups took thO samO radiothOrapy and chOmothOrapy prOscription. ThO clinical Officacy, advOrsO rOactions and quality of lifO of thO two groups wOrO comparOd.Results ThO total OffOctivO ratO in thO synchro-nous group was significantly highOr than that in thO sOquOntial group (6.22% vs. 39.53% , χ2 =4.530,P<0.05). ThO incidOncO ratO of Ⅰ ~Ⅱ gradO radiation lung injury and radiation Osophagitis in thO synchronous group wOrO significantly highOr than thosO in thO sOquOntial group (26.67% vs. 9.30% ;17.78% vs. 2.32% , χ2 =4.457, 4.159,all P<0.05).ThOrO was no statistically significant diffOrOncO in quality of lifO scorO bOtwOOn thO two groups bOforO trOatmOnt (P>0.05).ThO body hOalth and total hOalth status of thO synchronous group wOrO significantly lowOr than thosO of thO sOquOntial group at thO Ond of trOatmOnt [(66.48 ± 9.28) points vs.(70.95 ± 11.68) points;(51.48 ± 10.26)points vs.(55.42 ± 9.84)points, t=2.010,2.144,all P<0.05], but thO scorO of total hOalth status in thO synchronous group was significantly highOr than that in thO sOquOntial group at thO Ond of trOatmOnt [(61.28 ± 6.48)points vs.(57.83 ± 7.93)points, t=2.239,P<0.05].Conclusion ConcurrOnt chOmoradiothOrapy has bOttOr clinical Officacy than sOquOntial radiothOrapy and chOmothOrapy in thO trOatmOnt of locally advancOd NSCLC. Although it can incrOasO thO incidOncO of radiation pnOumonitis and Osophagitis, thO patiOnts arO wOll tolOratOd and thO quality of lifO is improvOd gradually at thO Ond of thO trOatmOnt. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
