Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by Meta analysis.Methods:The clinical randomized controlled trials (RCT) and cohort studies on the treatment of COVID-19 with combination of Chinese traditional and Western medicine published on CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database and PubMed were searched by computer from January 2020 to June 2020. Patients in the simple Western medicine treatment group were treated with routine treatment of Western medicine, and the patients in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment group were treated with traditional Chinese medicine on the basis of routine treatment of Western medicine. The main outcome was the total effective rate of treatment. The secondary outcome were the antipyretic rate, chest CT recovery rate, lymphocyte count (LYM), C-reactive protein (CRP) level and safety. The Cochrane manual and the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS) were used to evaluate the quality of the literature; the RevMan5.3 software was used to analyze the articles that meets the quality standards, and a funnel chart was drawn to evaluate the total effective publication bias.Results:Thirteen articles were analyzed, including 1 039 COVID-19 patients, 559 in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment group and 480 in simple Western medicine treatment group. The results of Meta-analysis showed that compared with the simple Western medicine treatment group, the combination of routine treatment of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine Qingfei Paidu decoction, Lianhua Qingwen granule, Shufeng jiedu capsule, Xuebijing injection or Reyanning mixture could significantly improve the total effective rate, antipyretic rate and chest CT recovery rate [total effective rate: odds ratio ( OR) = 2.95, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 2.10-4.14, P < 0.000 01; antipyretic rate: OR =3.01, 95% CI was 1.64-5.53, P = 0.000 4; chest CT recovery rate: OR = 2.53, 95% CI was 1.83-3.51, P = 0.000 1], increase LYM levels [mean difference ( MD) = 0.26, 95% CI was 0.02-0.50, P = 0.03], and reduce of CRP content ( MD = -17.68, 95% CI was -33.14 to -2.22, P = 0.02). Based on the funnel chart analysis of 12 articles with total efficiency, the result showed that the funnel chart distribution was not completely symmetrical, indicating that there might be publication bias. Conclusions:On the basis of routine treatment with Western medicine, combined with traditional Chinese medicine can significantly improve the total effective rate of COVID-19 and improve the laboratory results and clinical symptoms of patients. Compared with the routine treatment of Western medicine alone, the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has better clinical efficacy and safety.

Objective:To analyze the research status, research hotspots and frontier trends of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of influenza in the past 20 years through the knowledge graph, so as to provide reference basis for further research.Methods:The related literatures of TCM in the treatment of influenza were collected in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) from 2000 to 2019. The relevant graphs of authors, research institutions and key words were drawn by CiteSpace 5.6, the distribution and cooperation of main research forces in this field were analyzed, and the research frontiers and hot spot information in this field were discussed.Results:A total of 3 048 related literatures were obtained, involving 949 authors and 242 research institutions. The analysis of the number of articles showed that the volume of articles related to the treatment of influenza with TCM fluctuated greatly in the past 20 years, which was obviously affected by the sudden hot spots around 2010, but showed an overall upward trend, with an average annual volume of about 152 articles. The analysis of the author's cooperation map showed that a total of 77 core authors had published more than 5 articles, accounting for only 8.1% of all authors, and 5 authors had published more than 30 articles. Five major teams had been formed with Gu Ligang, Liu Qingquan, Lu Fangguo, Cui Xiaolan and Zhang Fengxue as the core. The analysis of the cooperation map of research institutions showed that the cooperation among institutions was not good, and only the scientific research institutes in Beijing and Guangzhou had formed a closely related cooperation network. The keyword co-occurrence map showed that 8 keywords appeared more than 100 times, especially ultra-high-frequency keywords, influenza virus ranked first ( n = 518). There were 14 key nodes, such as influenza virus, TCM treatment, viral pneumonia and so on, which supported the current research field of TCM in the treatment of influenza. Fourteen clusters were formed to classify the current research hotspots, including the nomenclature of influenza, virus type, TCM treatment, western medicine knowledge, etc., and the map showed that the clustering was reasonable and the structure was significant. Timeline graph showed that parainfluenza virus, virus disease, pharmacodynamics, heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs, bacteriostasis and experimental research had all been studied for more than 8 years, revealing the research hotspots and trends of TCM in the treatment of influenza. Conclusions:The overall research related to the treatment of influenza with TCM is relatively perfect. In the future, the close cooperation among authors and institutions should be strengthened. The molecular mechanism research, clinical and animal trials of TCM should be further studied, so as to improve the research system of TCM treatment of influenza.

HuR (human antigen R), an mRNA-binding protein responsible for poor prognosis in nearly all kinds of malignancies, is a potential anti-tumor target for drug development. While screening HuR inhibitors with a fluorescence polarization (FP) based high-throughput screening (HTS) system, the clinically used drug eltrombopag was identified. Activity of eltrombopag on molecular level was verified with FP, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), simulation docking and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Further, we showed that eltrombopag inhibited cell proliferation of multiple cancer cell lines and macrophages, and the anti-tumor activity was also demonstrated in a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model. The data showed that eltrombopag was efficient in reducing microvessels in tumor tissues. We then confirmed the HuR-dependent anti-angiogenesis effect of eltrombopag in 4T1 cells and RAW264.7 macrophages with qRT-PCR, HuR-overexpression and HuR-silencing assays, RNA stability assays, RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays. Finally, we analyzed the anti-angiogenesis effect of eltrombopag on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) mediated by macrophages with cell scratch assay and Matrigel angiogenesis assay. With these data, we revealed the HuR-dependent anti-angiogenesis effect of eltrombopag in breast tumor, suggesting that the existing drug eltrombopag may be used as an anti-cancer drug.

Inflammation,which is mediated by leukocyte trafficking and activation,plays a prominent role in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic liver injury.Chemokines are critical mediators involved in the migration of leukocytes into the diseased liver via binding to their G protein-coupled receptors.C-C motif ligand 5(CCL5)belongs to the CC-chemokine family and is secreted by several hepatic cell pop-ulations including hepatocytes,macrophages,hepatic stellate cells,and endothelial cells upon activation.CCL5 regulates the recruitment and migration of T cells(via CCR5)and NK cells(via CCR1).Moreover,CCL5 activates and stimulates T cell proliferation and cytokine production,sequentially regulating in-flammatory responses.Accumulating studies have identified crucial effects of CCL5 both in liver-disease patients and in experimental models,in which CCL5 is elevated and displays distinct effects according to pathological conditions.In this review,we discussed the crucial functions of CCL5 in liver diseases,including acute liver failure,hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury,acute liver failure,acute and viral hepatitis,alcoholic liver disease,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,fibrosis,and hepatocellular carcinoma.Continued understanding the roles of CCL5 in liver disease and their mechanisms of activation are indispensable for the development of effective clinical therapeutics.

Objective To investigate the differences of expression and activation of natural killer (NK) cell G2D (NKG2D) in patients with different immune status of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and to explore the significance of NKG2D-mediated immune injury in HBV infection.Methods Fifteen chronic HBV carriers (immune tolerance),15 chronic hepatitis B (CHB, immune activation) patients, 15 HBV-related acute/subacute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF, immune over-activation) patients were enro1led in this study from January 2010 to December 2011 in the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University.The frequencies of NK cells and NKG2D+ NK cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were detected by flow cytometry.The NKG2D mRNA expressions were measured by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Localization and hemi-quantitative analysis of NKG2D+ cells in liver tissue were performed by immunohistochemistry staining.Concentrations of serum interferon(IFN)-γ, tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, perforin and granzyme B were quantified by enzyme 1inked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Normally distributed continuous variables were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Student-Newman-Keuls q test for evaluating variances between each two groups.For non-normally distributed data or heterogeneity of variance, differences between groups were analyzed using nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis H test, followed by Nemenyi test for pairwise comparisons.Pearson chi-square test was used to analyze categorical variables.Results The percentages of NK cells in PBMC were (13.58±3.24)% in healthy controls, (5.42±2.18)% in chronic HBV carriers, (7.92±2.85)% in HBV-ACLF group and (8.43±2.92)% in CHB group.The percentage of NK cells in PBMCs was lower in each chronic HBV-infected group compared with healthy controls (F=22.04, P<0.05).The frequency of NKG2D+ NK cells in HBV-ACLF group (18.92±5.85)% was the highest, followed by CHB group (12.85±3.39)%, healthy controls (8.45±2.86)%, and chronic HBV carriers (3.36±1.05%), with the statistically significant differences between each two groups (H=46.09, P<0.01).Intrahepatic NKG2D mRNA expression and NKG2D+ cells density were highest in HBV-ACLF group (6.58±1.86 and 30.69±6.67, respectively), followed by CHB group (3.25±0.95 and 17.36±4.13, respectively) and chronic HBV carriers (0.69±0.20 and 3.16±1.24, respectively), with the statistically significant differences between each two groups (H=52.10 and 52.73 respectively, both P<0.01).The similar patterns were observed in serum IFN-γ, TNF-α, perforin and granzyme B concentrations.Conclusions NKG2D expresses variously in patients with different immune status of chronic HBV infection.Activation of NKG2D may take part in the immune pathogenesis of chronic HBV infection.

Recent years found a series of severe incidents of injuring or killing medical workers in several places in China,deteriorating patient-physician relations,and disturbing medical orders.Beijing Administration of Hospitals,since its founding,has attached great importance to the management of medical disputes,as evidenced in the full-process management covering pre-during-post disputes.The administration guided the hospitals in their dispute resolution,and included resolution rate of disputes as an index of municipal hospital performance evaluation.By means of the guidance of such evaluation, medical disputes and major medical accidents have been resolved satisfactorily,and fine management of service quality of such hospitals in terms of medical service,pharmacy,nursing and medical technology has been intensified all the time.
