The incomplete degradation of tumour cells by macrophages (Mϕ) is a contributing factor to tumour progression and metastasis, and the degradation function of Mϕ is mediated through phagosomes and lysosomes. In our preliminary experiments, we found that overactivation of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) reduced the ability of Mϕ to degrade engulfed tumour cells. Above this, we screened out liquiritin from Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, which can significantly inhibit NOX2 activity and inhibit tumours, to elucidate that suppressing NOX2 can enhance the ability of Mϕ to degrade tumour cells. We found that the tumour environment could activate the NOX2 activity in Mϕ phagosomes, causing Mϕ to produce excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus prohibiting the formation of phagolysosomes before degradation. Conversely, inhibiting NOX2 in Mϕ by liquiritin can reduce ROS and promote phagosome-lysosome fusion, therefore improving the enzymatic degradation of tumour cells after phagocytosis, and subsequently promote T cell activity by presenting antigens. We further confirmed that liquiritin down-regulated the expression of the NOX2 specific membrane component protein gp91 phox, blocking its binding to the NOX2 cytoplasmic component proteins p67 phox and p47 phox, thereby inhibiting the activity of NOX2. This study elucidates the specific mechanism by which Mϕ cannot degrade tumour cells after phagocytosis, and indicates that liquiritin can promote the ability of Mϕ to degrade tumour cells by suppressing NOX2.

Objective:To explore whether LBP3 exerts anti-tumor effects by promoting production of short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs)by intestinal microbiota and regulating function of polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells(PMN-MDSC).Methods:A subcutaneous H22 liver cancer model was employed to assess anti-tumor activity of LBP3 and its regulatory effects on PMN-MDSC.Pseudo-sterile tumor-bearing mouse model was used to investigate role of intestinal microbiota in tumor suppression of LBP3.Fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT)was conducted to explore immune regulatory role of LBP3-modulated flora.Serum SCFAs levels in tumor-bearing mice were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry,and effect of SCFAs butyrate on arginase 1(Arg-1)expression was evaluated in vitro.Results:Both low-dose(125 mg/kg)and high-dose(250 mg/kg)LBP3 signifi-cantly inhibited tumor growth in H22 tumor-bearing mice,also led to a marked reduction in proportion of PMN-MDSC in both spleen and tumor,a reduced proportion of Treg in lymphoid tissues,a decrease in Arg-1 level within tumor,infiltration of CD8+T cells into tumor was significantly enhanced.However,these effects of LBP3 were did not observed in pseudo-sterile mice,while the above changes could be reproduced after fecal supernatant transplantation in high-dose LBP3 treatment group,suggesting a crucial role for gut microbiota.Furthermore,co-expression of Ly6G and SCFA receptor GPR43 in tumor was also observed.LBP3 treatment resulted in increased levels of SCFAs,particularly butyrate,in both blood and tumor tissues.In vitro,butyrate was shown to inhibit Arg-1 expression in MSC-2 cells,further supporting hypothesis that SCFAs mediate immune-modulatory effects of LBP3.Conclusion:LBP3 exerts its anti-tumor effects by promoting SCFA production,which subsequently inhibits function of PMN-MDSC.This highlights LBP3's potential as an immunomodulatory agent in cancer therapy.

Individuals and populations affected by Yunnan unexplained sudden death have different causes, so different research methods and control strategies should be adopted for these two different causes. By reviewing relevant research literature on Yunnan unexplained sudden death, we reinterpret some characteristics of the disease from the perspective of population medicine. At the same time, it is found that some studies have shown that residents in areas where sudden death occurs have a higher proportion of myocardial damage compared to control areas, making them a population with basic sickness. Population medicine methods can be used to conduct etiology research and disease prevention and control.

With the deepening of China′s healthcare reform, cost control of medical consumables has become an important means to alleviate the problem of " high medical cost" . Through analysis of the difficulties of medical consumables cost control and mechanism loopholes in such control, the authors proposed a whole-process control practice, in terms of assessment, procurement, use, supervision, assessment and evaluation, and recommend on formulating whole-process cost control measures at both government and hospital levels.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of marginal liver from elderly donors in liver transplantation. Methods According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the clinical data of 127 donors and recipients were retrospectively analyzed. According to the age of donors, 127 donors were divided into the elderly group (n=27) and control group (n=100). The recovery of liver function, the occurrence of postoperative complications and survival rate of the recipients after transplantation were statistically analyzed between two groups. Results The incidence of primary nonfunction (PNF) and initial poor graft function (IPGF) did not significantly differ between the elderly and control groups (both P > 0.05). Within postoperative 2 weeks, the average levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and serum total bilirubin (TB) of liver transplant recipients in the elderly group was not significantly different from those in the control group (both P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications in the postoperative elderly group compared with the control group (all P > 0.05). The 1-and 3-year survival rates of the recipients in the elderly group were 84% and 78% respectively, which did not significantly differ from 89% and 79% in the control group (both P > 0.05). Conclusions Strict and sufficient quality evaluation and functional maintenance should be done for elderly donor livers. It can achieve good transplantation results by intraoperative fine operation, reducing bleeding and trauma, shortening the time of cold ischemia and operation, strengthening postoperative monitoring and implementing enhanced recovery after surgery.

Objective: To explore the effect of Qishen-Xiaodian Decoction combined with laser acupoint irradiation on oxidative stress and renal function on children with recurrent henoch schonlein purpura (HSP). Methods: A total of 120 children with recurrent HSP in the dermatology department clinic of Hospital of Xinle City from January 2015 to November 2017 were divided into two groups according to the random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. The control group took loratadine, Troxerutin and vitamin C orally, while the treatment group took Chinese medicine combined with laser acupoint irradiation based onthe control group. Drugs were taken orally for 4 weeks, laser acupoint irradiation treatment for 2 weeks. The level of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in plasma was detected by ELISA, the levels of MDA and SOD in plasma were detected by thiobarbituric acid colorimetry and hydroxylamine method, the level of IgG, micro albumin (Alb), β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) in urine were detected by radioimmunoassay, and the clinical effect was evaluated. The recurrence was recorded. Results: After treatment, the plasma GSH-Px (90.45 ± 15.36 μmol/L vs. 81.62 ± 13.68 μmol/L, t=3.318), SOD (99.64 ± 18.66 IU/ml vs. 84.21 ± 16.73 IU/ml, t=4.769) in the treatment group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.01); the MDA (5.58 ± 1.31 μmol/L vs. 4.37 ± 1.36 μmol/L, t=4.964) was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.01); the ratio of urine IgG (3.48 ± 0.95 mg/L vs. 6.56 ± 1.47 mg/L, t=13.630), Alb (7.80 ± 2.94 mg/L vs. 12.73 ± 4.26 mg/L, t=7.378), β2-MG (4.02 ± 1.61 mg/L vs. 6.95 ± 2.10 mg/L, t=8.577) were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.01). The total effective rate was 95.0% (57/60) in the treatment group and 80.0% (48/60) in the control group. There was statistically significant difference between two groups (χ²=6.171, P=0.013). Follow-up of 6 and 12 months, the recurrence rate of the treatment group were significantly lower than that of the control group (χ² value were 4.931, 4.574, P<0.05). Conclusions Qishen-Xiaodian Decoction combined with laser acupoint irradiation can improve the oxidative stress of children with recurrent HSP, protect the renal function, improve the clinical efficacy and reduce the recurrence rate.

Objective:To investigate the risk of occupational hearing loss caused by noise exposure in an automobile parts manufacturing enterprise.Methods:In June 2019, an automobile parts manufacturing enterprise in Huizhou City was selected to conduct occupational hygiene field investigation, and occupational health investigation and occupational hazards detection were carried out in the workplace. 395 workers with 8-hour working day equivalent sound level (L ex·8 h) ≥85 dB (a) were selected as the research objects. The occupational noise exposure risk assessment method was used to assess the noise exposure risk of L ex·8 h≥85 dB (a) , and the risk of high-frequency hearing loss and occupational noise deafness caused by noise exposure were evaluated when the working years were 10, 20, 30, 35 and 40. Results:When the exposure years were less than or equal to 30 years, the risk of high-frequency hearing loss of bearing pedestal final examiners was medium risk, and the risk of other positions was acceptable; the highest risk of noise deafness was the bearing pedestal final examiner, and the risk classification was higher, and the other types of work were negligible risk and acceptable risk. When the exposure years are more than 30 years, the risk classification of high-frequency hearing loss of bearing pedestal final inspection workers is high-risk, and the risk classification of other types of work is medium risk; the highest risk of noise deafness is the bearing pedestal final inspection workers, and the risk classification is higher risk, and the other types of work are medium risk.Conclusion:The enterprise should pay attention to the risk of occupational hearing loss caused by noise exposure, especially the bearing pedestal final inspection workers, and strengthen the hearing protection of noise exposed people.
