AIM To evaluate the quality consistency of Tongmai Granules,Tongmai Tablets,Tongmai Capsules and Tongmai Oral Liquid.METHODS The HPLC fingerprints were established,after which the contents of danshensu,protocatechuic aldehyde,3'-hydroxy puerarin,puerarin,puerarin apioside,daidzin,ferulic acid,salvianolic acid B and salvianolic acid A were determined,and cluster analysis and principal component analysis were adopted in the quality analysis from the perspective of daily intake.RESULTS There were 21 common peaks in the fingerprints for 39 batches of samples with the similarities of 0.765-0.997.Various batches of samples were clustered into 5 categories,2 principal components demonstrated the accumulative variance contribution rate of 83.53％ .The daily intakes of various constituents in different dosage forms exhibited obvious differences,especially for that of salvianolic acid B,which were low in tablets and capsules,and their heterogeneities existed among the same dosage forms.CONCLUSION This simple and accurate method can provide a reference for the quality evaluation of Tongmai preparations from different manufacturers.

Aim To explore the effect of FTO on adria-mycin resistance in triple-negative breast cancer through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and to reveal the underlying mechanism.Methods The MDA-MB-231/ADR drug-resistant cell line was constructed using a method of gradually increasing adriamycin concentra-tion with intermittent induction.The half-inhibitory concentration(IC50)of adriamycin for MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-231/ADR cells and the expression of FTO were compared.After knocking down FTO in MDA-MB-231/ADR cells,CCK-8,qRT-PCR,colony formation assay,transwell,flow cytometry,and Western blot were used to assess the changes in the IC50 of adri-amycin,cell proliferation,migration,invasion,apopto-sis,and the expression of related proteins.Results FTO was highly expressed in MDA-MB-231/ADR cells.After FTO knockdown,the IC50 value of adriamy-cin in MDA-MB-231/ADR cells decreased,and the a-bilities of proliferation,migration and invasion were weakened.In the FTO knockdown group,the expres-sion levels of Bax,cleaved-caspase3,GSK-3 β proteins and the apoptosis rate significantly increased,while the expression levels of Bcl-2,Wnt5a,β-catenin,c-myc,cyclin D1,and P-gp proteins decreased.Conclusion FTO may inhibit the apoptosis of MDA-MB-231/ADR cells through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,al-ter P-gp expression,and thereby enhance the resistance of MDA-MB-231/ADR cells to adriamycin.

Aim To investigate the mechanism by which sufentanil(Suf)improved hypoxia-reoxygen-ation(H/R)-induced myocardial cell injury by regula-ting hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)and KC-NQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1(Kcnq1ot1).Methods Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to predict the interaction between HIF-1αand Kcnq1ot1.Subsequently,H9c2 cells were divided into multiple treatment groups:Ctrl group,H/R group,and Suf group.Further grouping was based on different transfection conditions,including oe-HIF-1α group,oe-HIF-1α+Suf group,sh-HIF-1α group,and sh-HIF-1α+Kcnq1ot1 group.Cell viability was detected u-sing the MTT assay,cell apoptosis was detected using the TUNEL assay,and the concentrations of CK-MB and HBDH in cell supernatants were measured using ELISA.HIF-1α protein expression in cellswas deter-mined by Western blot,and the mRNA expression level of Kcnq1ot1 was measured by reverse transcription quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR).Additionally,a rat model of myocardial is chemia reperfusion was con-structed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Suf for myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in vivo.Results The results of bioinformatics analysis showed a direct interaction between HIF-1α and Kcnq1ot1.Compared with the Ctrl group,the H/R group showed significantly reduced H9c2 cell viability,increased cell apoptosis,and significantly upregulated concentrations of CK-MB and HBDH,along with significantly enhanced expres-sion of HIF-1α and Kcnq1ot1(all P＜0.05).When H9c2 cells were transfected with oe-HIF-1 α,cell via-bility further decreased,apoptosis was worsened,and CK-MB and HBDH concentrations further increased(all P＜0.05);however,these adverse effects were significantly inhibited when combined with Suf inter-vention(all P＜0.05).Additionally,compared with the H/R group,the sh-HIF-1α group showed signifi-cantly improved cell viability,reduced apoptosis and decreased CK-MB and HBDH concentrations(all P＜0.05);however,these improvements were partially re-versed upon transfection with Kcnq1ot1(all P＜0.05).Animal experiments confirmed that Suf could improve myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in myo-cardial ischemia-reperfusion injury rats.Conclusions Suf improves myocardial H/R injury by inhibiting the HIF-1α-Kcnq1ot1.

Objective:To investigate the role of microRNA-709(miR-709)in erythroid development and its correlation with multiple hematological diseases.Methods:The expression of miR-709 in multiple tissues of mice was detected by qRT-PCR;The expression of miR-709 and other miRNAs in day-14.5 fetal liver cells from mouse embryos was detected by transcriptome microarray analysis;The expression of miR-709 in nucleated red blood cells derived from bone marrow and spleen,and in peripheral blood erythrocytes of mice was detected by magnetic bead sorting combined with qRT-PCR;The expression of miR-709 during erythroid differentiation of murine erythroleukemia(MEL)cells was analyzed by cell culture and qRT-PCR;The expression of miR-709 during erythroid lineage differentiation of mouse erythroid precursor cells derived from fetal livers was analyzed by magnetic bead sorting,flow cytometry,cell culture and qRT-PCR;The expression of miR-709 in peripheral blood of patients with different hematological diseases was measured by qRT-PCR.Results:Among the various tissues examined in mice,miR-709 exhibited the highest expression in peripheral blood,followed by high expression levels in muscle,bone marrow,and liver;In day-14.5 fetal liver cells from mouse embryos,miR-709 was highly expressed,significantly surpassing miR-451,which was most highly expressed in mature red blood cells;In nucleated red blood cells derived from mouse bone marrow and spleen,the expression of miR-709 was higher than that of miR-451,whereas the opposite pattern was observed in peripheral blood;During the differentiation of erythroid precursor cells derived from mouse embryonic liver,the expression level of miR-709 first increased and then decreased;During the differentiation of MEL cells,the expression of miR-709 gradually increased;Compared with the healthy controls,patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS),α-thalassemia and β-thalassemia expressed lower levels of miR-709 in peripheral blood;while the expression of miR-709 in patients with infectious hemolytic anemia(IHA)was higher than that in healthy controls.Conclusion:miR-709 is highly expressed in the early stage of erythropoiesis and exhibits dynamic changes during erythroid development,potentially playing an important role.It is also differentially expressed in different hematological diseases,which is expected to serve as a promising biomarker and therapeutic target in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of hematological diseases.

Aim To explore the effect of the classical famous prescription Dahuang Zhechong pill(DHZCP)on relieving liver cirrhosis by regulating the stress fiber remodeling mediated by mechanistic signaling pathway and to explore the underlying mechanism.Methods Mice were randomly divided into the control group,model group,DHZCP low-dose group,DHZCP high-dose group,and Colchicine-positive control group.The liver cirrhosis mouse model was constructed by intrap-eritoneal injection of olive oil-solubilized CCl4.HE staining and serologic markers were used to reflect liver injury.Masson staining was used to evaluate collagen deposition in liver tissue.ELISA was applied to detect vasoactive molecules and cancer indicators.Atomic force microscopy was employed to detect liver tissue stiffness.Color Doppler diagnostic instrument was used to assess portal blood flow velocity.Western blot was utilized to detect ROCK2 expression and phosphoryla-tion of YAP,Cofilin,and MLC.Results The liver tis-sues in the model group had obvious inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen deposition,accompanied by significant elevation of serum transaminases and fibrosis indexes.Similarly,vasoactive molecules and cancer in-dicators were elevated,and the mechanoregulatory pro-tein ROCK2 expression and phosphorylation of Cofilin and MLC were elevated,with YAP being strongly de-phosphorylated.Both low and high doses of DHZCP re-versed the pathological changes,serological indices,and inhibited the activation of the stress fiber(SF)re-modeling mechanistic signaling pathway.Conclusion DHZCP effectively ameliorates liver tissue lesions in mice with liver cirrhosis,and its mechanism may be re-lated to the inhibition of SF remodeling mechanistic signaling pathway.

This study analyzed the demographic characteristics and clinically significant inflammatory index changes in listeriosis cases in China from 2010 to 2023.The aim was to understand Listeria monocytogenes susceptibility,to provide a reference for listeriosis prevention and control.Records in three Chinese databases—the China Knowledge Network,Wanfang Database,and VIP Database—from January 1,2010,to December 31,2023,were searched.Statistical analysis was conducted on the clinical features and epidemiological information for all identified cases.A total of 693 cases of listeriosis were included:482 occurring during the perinatal period and 211 occurring outside the perinatal period.The average mortality rate was 17.2%(119/693).The predominant clinical manifestations of listeriosis in neonatal patients during the perinatal period were sepsis(75.5%,241/319)and meningitis(41.1%,131/319).The mortality rate among neonatal patients was 27.1%(76/280).In patients in the non-perinatal period,meningitis(70.1%,148/211)and sepsis(43.6%,92/211)were the main clinical manifestations,and the average patient age was 47.2 years.Among patients of known age,the highest prevalence was observed in the 40-64 year age group,which accounted for 44.9%(44/98).Sixty-one cases had no other underlying diseases before infection.Reported cases of listeriosis occurred in 27 provinces(municipalities,and autonomous region)in China,and Beijing reported the most cases,accounting for 23.7%(164/693).L.monocytogenes was sensitive to β-lactam drug treatment but showed differing degrees of drug resistance.Among 145 cases,12 were resistant to penicillin,and 16 were resistant to oxacillin.Listeriosis is a foodborne disease with a high mortality rate,particularly among neonates.With the continuing emergence of drug-resistant strains,standardizing and strengthening prevention and treatment measures for this disease as early as possible are essential.

Objective:The study aimed to validate the Neuroception of Psychological Safety Scale (NPSS) in terms of reliability and validity among individuals with mental disorders in China.Methods:The Study followed Brislin′s translation principles to adapt the scale into Chinese. From February to June 2023, a total of 638 hospitalized patients with mental disorders (477 with schizophrenia and 161 with mood disorders) were selected through gender-stratified simple random sampling from the Shanghai Pudong New Area Mental Health Center and the Shanghai Baoshan Mental Health Center. The Chinese version of the NPSS and the Security Questionnaire (SQ) were administered. The reliability of the scale was measured using split-half reliability and test-retest reliability. Validity was assessed through content validity, structural validity, convergent validity, and discriminative validity analyses. In addition, SQ was used as a criterion tool to test the validity of the criterion through Pearson correlation analysis.Results:The Chinese version of the NPSS contained 29 items, with total scores ranging from 29 to 145. Higher total scores indicated greater psychological safety. Item analysis showed a decider value of 10.58 to 20.80 (>3), and the correlation between items and total scores ranged from 0.579 to 0.749 (all P<0.05). The item-level content validity index (I-CVI) for the items ranged from 0.86 to 1.00, while the average scale-level content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) was 0.99. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors: social participation, empathy, and bodily sensations, which is consistent with the structure of the original scale, explaining a cumulative variance contribution rate of 62.551%. Confirmatory analysis revealed a satisfactory model fit, with average variance extracted (AVE) values for the three dimensions ranging from 0.523 to 0.645, and composite reliability(CR) ranging from 0.905 to 0.938. The standard loading coefficients for the items ranged from 0.608 to 0.859, and inter-factor correlation coefficients were all smaller than the square roots of their respective AVE values. Pearson correlation analysis indicated significant positive relationships between the Chinese NPSS and SQ ( r=0.822-0.846, P<0.01). Reliability analysis showed Cronbach′s alpha coefficients of 0.903-0.959 for the total scale and subscales. After a 3-week interval, test-retest reliability (70 patients) ranged from 0.874 to 0.983, and split-half reliability was 0.869-0.969. All model fit indices met established criteria. Conclusions:The Chinese version of the NPSS demonstrates good reliability and validity, making it suitable for both research and clinical applications in assessing psychological security among individuals with schizophrenia and mood disorders.
