ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of probiotics combined with bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) on clinical efficacy、gastrointestinal adverse reactions and intestinal flora in Helicobacter pylori (HP) positive patients. MethodsThe patients who were positive for HP from May 2023 to July 2023 in the department of gastroenterology of Shanghai first people's hospital were randomly divided into2 groups with 40 people in each group. The probiotic group was given 2 weeks of quadruple therapy with probiotics and standard BQT, followed by 4 weeks of oral probiotics after quadruple discontinuation. The placebo group was given 2 weeks of probiotic placebo and standard BQT, followed by 4 weeks of oral probiotic placebo. 13C urea breath test was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy, gastrointestinal symptoms rating Scale was used to evaluate the gastrointestinal adverse reactions of patients before and after the intervention, and microbial diversity 16S rDNA sequencing technology was used to detect the level of intestinal flora of patients before and after the intervention. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the eradication rate between the two groups (P>0.05). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of the gastrointestinal symptom rating scale between the probiotic group and the placebo group. After the intervention, patients in the probiotic group had significantly lower pain scores on acid reflux (1.10±0.30 vs 1.35±0.53, P<0.05) and stomach or abdominal hunger than in the placebo group (1.07±0.26 vs 1.30±0.52, P<0.05). Through the before-and-after comparison of the probiotic group, the scores of abdominal pain (1.24±0.44 vs 1.58±0.71, P<0.05), stomach or abdominal hunger (1.07±0.26 vs 1.27±0.45, P<0.05) and dry and hard stool (1.24±0.49 vs 1.48±0.75,P<0.05) were significantly lower in the probiotic group than before the intervention in the probiotic group. ConclusionProbiotics combined with BQT can improve the gastrointestinal adverse reactions and intestinal flora disorders in the process of quadruple drug therapy, but it does not improve the eradication rate of HP.

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of polymorphisms of solute carrier organic anion transporter family, member 1B3(SLCO1B3) gene on the pharmacodynamics of mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) in patients with lupus nephritis.
METHODS
Patients with lupus nephritis who were treated in Jieyang People’s Hospital from September 2019 to April 2021 were selected. All subjects were treated with MMF for at least 12 months, or discontinued due to poor efficacy. The efficacy of MMF was evaluated. The SLCO1B3 334T>G/699G>A(rs4149117/rs7311358) genotype was detected using Agena MassARRAY®, and the correlation between gene polymorphisms and MMF pharmacodynamics was analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software.
RESULTS
The genotype frequencies of SLCO1B3 334T>G/699G>A were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The probability of poor MMF treatment effect of 334GG/699AA carriers was significantly higher than that of 334TT/699AA and 334TG/699GA carriers(P<0.001); Logistic regression showed that both 334GG/699AA and urine protein>2.5 g·(24 h)−1 were the risk factors for poor MMF treatment[OR=4.038(1.731, 9.420), P<0.001; OR=4.157(1.705, 10.137), P=0.002]. Combined analysis showed that patients with both 334GG/699AA genotype and urine protein>2.5 g·(24 h)−1 were at higher risk for poor efficacy[OR=8.563(3.301, 22.216), P<0.001].
CONCLUSION
SLCO1B3 334T>G/699G>A is related to the efficacy of MMF treating lupus nephritis, and 334GG/699AA carriers are more likely to result in poor efficacy.

Objectives:Fluid resuscitation is an important treatment for sepsis. However, the optimal choice of fluid is still controversial. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Sodium Bicarbonate Ringer’s Solution on the outcome of patients with sepsis.Methods:This was a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical study, From July 2021 to June 2023, adult patients with Sepsis who met the diagnostic criteria of Sepsis 3.0 admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Jiangdu People's Hospital of Yangzhou were randomly assigned to the sodium bicarbonate ringer’s solution group or the normal saline group according to the random number table. Patients received either sodium bicarbonate ringer’s solution or normal saline as fluid for resuscitation and maintenance therapy. Clinicians determined the amount and rate of infusion based on volume assessment. The 30-day mortality, the degradation of endothelial glycocalyx degradation products at multiple time points, the mortality in intensive care unit (ICU), the incidence of major adverse renal events (MAKE30) within 30 days, and other clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. Enzyme-Linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the concentration of endothelial glycocalyx coating degradation products in peripheral blood. The count data were analyzed by χ 2 test, and the measurement data were analyzed by independent sample t test. Results:A total of 67 patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled during the study (32 patients in the sodium bicarbonate ringer’s solution group and 35 patients in the normal saline group). There were no significant differences in baseline data such as age, gender, underlying diseases, and SOFA score at enrollment between the two groups ( P>0.05).The 30-day mortality (28.1% vs. 40.0%), ICU mortality (15.6% vs. 20.0%) and MAKE30 (31.2% vs. 42.9%) in the sodium bicarbonate ringer’s solution group were lower than those in the normal saline group, but the differences were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The levels of SCD-1(1317.3±206.9) pg/mL, HA (75.1±24.9) ng/mL and HS (75.6±13.8) ng/mL in the sodium bicarbonate ringer’s solution group were significantly lower than those in the normal saline group [(1514.6±264.9) pg/mL, (96.5±25.4) ng/mL, (85.8±15.8) ng/mL] on the third day (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Although the use of sodium bicarbonate ringer’s solution for resuscitation in sepsis patients cannot significantly reduce the 30-day mortality rate, but significantly reduce the degradation of polysaccharide coating, decrease the occurrence of hyperchloremia and acidosis.

Background/Aims:
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become an increasingly important health challenge, with a substantial rise linked to changing lifestyles and global obesity. Ursolic acid, a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid, has been explored for its potential therapeutic effects. Given its multifunctional bioactive properties, this research further revealed the pharmacological mechanisms of ursolic acid on MASLD.
Methods:
Drug target chips and bioinformatics analysis were combined in this study to explore the potential therapeutic effects of ursolic acid on MASLD. Molecular docking simulations, surface plasmon resonance analyses, pull-down experiments, and co-immunoprecipitation assays were used to verify the direct interactions. Gene knockdown mice were generated, and high-fat diets were used to validate drug efficacy. Furthermore, initial CD4+ T cells were isolated and stimulated to demonstrate our findings.
Results:
In this study, the multifunctional extracellular matrix phosphorylated glycoprotein secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) was investigated, highlighting its capability to induce Th17 cell differentiation, amplifying inflammatory cascades, and subsequently promoting the evolution of MASLD. In addition, this study revealed that in addition to the canonical TGF-β/IL-6 cytokine pathway, SPP1 can directly interact with ITGB1 and CD44, orchestrating Th17 cell differentiation via their joint downstream ERK signaling pathway. Remarkably, ursolic acid intervention notably suppressed the protein activity of SPP1, suggesting a promising avenue for ameliorating the immunoinflammatory trajectory in MASLD progression.
Conclusions
Ursolic acid could improve immune inflammation in MASLD by modulating SPP1-mediated Th17 cell differentiation via the ERK signaling pathway, which is orchestrated jointly by ITGB1 and CD44, emerging as a linchpin in this molecular cascade.

Objective:To explore application effect of early respiratory training schemes based on 4E mode (Engage, Educate, Execute, Evaluate) in children with bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) and provide evidence for the clinical implementation of early respiratory rehabilitation in children with BO.Methods:This was a quasi-experimental study. The children with BO who were admitted to 2 wards of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Hunan Children's Hospital from January 1 to December 31, 2021 were selected as the research objects. They were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group, with 23 cases in each group. The control group received routine treatment, nursing and rehabilitation guidance. The experimental group established a multidisciplinary team based on the control group, and used the early respiratory training program based on the 4E model to implement intervention. The clinical symptom severity scale was used to evaluate the improvement of the clinical symptoms of the children within 24 hours of being diagnosed as BO, the day of discharge, and 1 and 3 months after discharge for re-examination, and the hospitalization time of the children and the incidence of adverse events related to respiratory training were counted by using medical records and questionnaires.Results:The clinical symptom severity scores of the experimental group within 24 hours of admission diagnosis and the day of discharge were (20.00 ± 2.51) and (11.30 ± 2.46)points respectively, while those of the control group were (20.57 ± 2.21) and (11.70 ± 2.42) points respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( t=0.81, 0.54, both P>0.05). The clinical symptom severity scores of the experimental group were(10.52 ± 2.31) and (8.55 ± 1.06) points, lower than (12.32 ± 1.39) and (12.45 ± 2.19) points of the control group when they returned to the hospital for re-examination 1 and 3 months after discharge, with a statistically significant difference ( t=3.14, 7.25, both P<0.05). The experimental group was hospitalized for (11.78 ± 1.17) days, which was showter than (13.74 ± 1.63) days in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( t=4.68, P<0.05). No respiratory training-related adverse events occurred in both groups of children during hospitalization. During home respiratory training after discharge, 1 and 2 respiratory training-related adverse events occurred in the experimental group 1 and 3 months after discharge, respectively, compared with 6 and 9 in the control group. The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.64, 5.94, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Early respiratory training solutions based on the 4E mode can improve the clinical symptoms of BO children, shorten the hospitalization time, reduce the number of adverse events related to respiratory training, and promote the recovery of children.

Objective:To explore the expression of miR-6883-5p in the serum of bladder cancer patients and its effect on the migration and proliferation ability of bladder cancer cells.Methods:The real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method was used to detect the expression level of miR-6883-5p in the serum of 39 patients with bladder cancer and 39 healthy subjects, as well as the expression level of miR-6883-5p in normal bladder mucosal epithelial cells and bladder cancer cells. The bladder cancer cells with the lowest expression of miR-6883-5p were transfected with miR-6883-5p mimics or negative control (NC), namely miR-6883-5p group and NC group. Transwell migration experiment and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) colorimetric method were used to detect the migration and proliferation ability of cells transfected with miR-6883-5p. Bioinformatics software and dual luciferase reporter gene were used to predict and test the target genes of miR-6883-5p. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of target genes in cells transfected with miR-6883-5p.Results:The expression level of miR-6883-5p in the serum of bladder cancer patients was significantly lower than that of healthy persons ( P<0.01). The expression level of miR-6883-5p in bladder cancer cells was significantly lower than that in normal bladder mucosal epithelial cells (all P<0.05), and the lowest expression of miR-6883-5p was in 5637 cells ( P<0.01). After transfection with miR-6883-5p, the migration and proliferation of cells in miR-6883-5p group were significantly lower than those in NC group (all P<0.05). Phosphatidyl alcohol proteoglycan-6 (GPC6) was the target gene of miR-6883-5p. After transfection with miR-6883-5p, the expression levels of GPC6 mRNA and protein in miR-6883-5p group significantly decreased ( P<0.01). Conclusions:miR-6883-5p is significantly low expressed in the serum of bladder cancer patients, and miR-6883-5p is related to the occurrence and development of bladder cancer; overexpression of miR-6883-5p can inhibit the migration and proliferation of bladder cancer cells; miR-6883-5p can inhibit the occurrence and development of bladder cancer by down-regulating the expression of GPC6.
