ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiaoji Hufei Formula in protecting children with close contact exposure to influenza， and to provide reference and evidence-based support for better clinical prevention and treatment of influenza in children. MethodsA multicenter， prospective， non-randomized， parallel， controlled trial was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 in five hospitals， including Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Confirmed influenza cases and influenza-like illness （ILI） cases were collected， and eligible children with close contact exposure to these cases were recruited in the outpatient clinics. According to whether the enrolled close contacts were willing to take Xiaoji Hufei formula for influenza prevention， they were assigned to the observation group （108 cases） or the control group （108 cases）. Follow-up visits were conducted on days 7 and 14 after enrollment. The primary outcomes were the incidence of ILI and the rate of laboratory-confirmed influenza. Secondary outcomes included traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom score scale for influenza， influenza-related emergency （outpatient） visit rate， influenza hospitalization rate， and time to onset after exposure to influenza cases. ResultsA total of 216 participants were enrolled， with 108 in the observation group and 108 in the control group. Primary outcomes： （1） Incidence of ILI： The incidence was 12.0% （13/108） in the observation group and 23.1% （25/108） in the control group， with the observation group showing a significantly lower incidence （χ²=4.6， P<0.05）. （2） Influenza confirmation rate： 3.7% （4/108） in the observation group and 4.6% （5/108） in the control group， with no statistically significant difference. Secondary outcomes： （1） TCM symptom score scale： after onset， nasal congestion and runny nose scores differed significantly between the two groups （P<0.05）， while other symptoms such as fever， sore throat， and cough showed no significant differences. （2） Influenza-related emergency （outpatient） visit rate： 84.6% （11 cases） in the observation group and 96.0% （24 cases） in the control group， with no significant difference. （3） Time to onset after exposure： The median onset time after exposure to index patients was 7 days in the observation group and 4 days in the control group， with a statistically significant difference （P<0.05）. ConclusionIn previously healthy children exposed to infectious influenza cases under unprotected conditions， Xiaoji Hufei formula prophylaxis significantly reduced the incidence of ILI. Xiaoji Hufei Formula can be recommended as a specific preventive prescription for influenza in children.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of excessive activation of the Specific protein 1 （Sp1）-MicroRNA-582-3p （miR-582-3p）-cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor （p27） axis on the cell cycle and proliferation of A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells at the cellular level， thereby investigating the possible mechanisms by which Astragali Radix and Hedyotis diffusa（A-H） regulate the axis to inhibit A549 cells proliferation. MethodsLentiviral plasmid transfection technology was used to obtain four stable A549 transgenic cell lines： shRNA-Sp1+LV-miR-582-3p mimic， shRNA-Sp1+LV-mNC， shRNA-NC+LV-miR-582-3p mimic， and shRNA-NC+LV-mNC. Real-time PCR was used to detect the effect of Sp1 on miR-582-3p expression in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells. CCK-8 and colony formation assay were used to detect the effect of Sp1 on cell proliferation through miR-582-3p， while flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of Sp1 on cell cycle via miR-582-3p. Western blot was used to detect the effect of Sp1 on cyclin in A549 cells through miR-582-3p. CCK-8 was employed to detect the effects of different concentrations （5%， 10%， 20%， 40%， 80%） of A-H on A549 cell viability， and the optimal concentration was selected for subsequent mechanism exploration. Stable transgenic strains oe-Sp1 and control oe-Vector were constructed using the above-mentioned transfection techniques. Real-time PCR was then used to investigate the effect of A-H on miR-582-3p expression in A549 cells， while Western blot was employed to detect the effect of A-H on Sp1 and p27 expression in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells. ResultsCompared with the shRNA-NC+LV-mNC group， the expression of miR-582-3p was significantly inhibited in the shRNA-Sp1+LV-mNC group （P<0.01）. Compared with the shRNA-Sp1+LV-mNC group， the shRNA-Sp1+LV-miR-582-3p mimic group significantly reversed miR-582-3p expression （P<0.01）， indicating that Sp1 has a significant regulatory effect on miR-582-3p. Compared with the shRNA-Sp1+LV-mNC group， the shRNA-Sp1+LV-miR-582-3p mimic group significantly reversed cell proliferation （P<0.01）， suggesting that miR-582-3p can partially reverse the proliferative effect of Sp1 on A549 lung adenocarcinoma. Compared with the shRNA-Sp1+LV-mNC group， the shRNA-Sp1+LV-miR-582-3p mimic group showed a significant decrease in G₀/G₁ proportions， while the G₂/M and S phase proportions increased significantly （P<0.01）， indicating that miR-582-3p can partially reverse the effect of Sp1 on the A549 cell cycle. Compared with the shRNA-Sp1+LV-mNC group， the shRNA-Sp1+LV-miR-582-3p mimic group significantly reversed the expression of various proteins with the decrease of p27 and the increase of Cyclin D₁， CDK4， Cyclin E， CDK2， p-Rb， and E2F3 （P<0.01）， indicating that miR-582-3p can partially reverse the effect of Sp1 on the cell cycle of A549 lung adenocarcinoma. Compared with the blank group， the serum containing A-H significantly inhibited A549 cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. Therefore， 10% A-H was selected for intervention of subsequent mechanism experiments. Compared with A-H+oe-Vector， A-H+oe-Sp1 significantly reversed the downregulation of Sp1， miR-582-3p， and the upregulation of p27 （P<0.01）. This suggests that Sp1 can partially reverse the effects of A-H on miR-582-3p and p27 levels in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells. ConclusionOveractivation of the Sp1-miR-582-3p-p27 axis significantly promotes the proliferation of A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells， and the potential mechanism of the inhibitory effect of A-H on the proliferation of A549 cells may be related to its inhibition on the overactivation of the Sp1-miR-582-3p-p27 axis.

Children， as a special group， frequently experience of off-label drug use worldwide. Common reasons for off-label drug use in children include the lack of data on pediatric patients during the clinical trial stage of drug development， delayed updates to drug instructions， and the non-standard professional behavior of some doctors. Off-label drug use in children is a double-edged sword. It could save lives and provide a way to explore additional functions of drugs， while it may also lead to the phenomenon of hyper-indication abuse， increasing the risk of adverse drug events. Regulating off-label drug use in children can safeguard the best treatment rights and interests of children. It is recommended to encourage pharmaceutical enterprises to conduct research and development of pediatric new drugs， simplify the approval process for drug instructions amendments， accumulate evidence-based medical evidence for off-label drug use in children， standardize the process of off-label drug use in children in medical institutions， continuously improve the standardized diagnosis and treatment capabilities of pediatricians， and actively cooperate with the families of pediatric patients in diagnosis and treatment， so as to comprehensively safeguard the rights and interests of both doctors and patients.

Enzymes are widely used in chemical and pharmaceutical industries because of their advantages of high efficiency and specificity. However， the shortcomings of the free enzymes， such as poor stability and difficulty in recycling， limit their application. Therefore， the immobilization and application of enzymes have become one of the research hotspots. The selection of the immobilization carriers is a critical step in the process of enzyme immobilization. Metal-organic frameworks（MOFs）， a kind of porous materials， are formed by the coordination of metal ions or metal clusters with organic ligands. As an emerging immobilization carrier， its advantages such as high porosity， strong stability， and surface modifiability make it ideal for immobilized enzyme carriers. By immobilizing the free enzyme on MOFs， the above mentioned deficiencies of the free enzymes can be effectively solved， which greatly broaden the applicable condition. Ligand fishing is a method to find receptor-specific ligands from complex components， which has the advantages of high efficiency， simple sample pretreatment and high specificity. The MOF-enzyme complex formed by enzyme immobilization can act as a "fishing rod" for ligand fishing， which can screen out the targets from the complex system of components. The complex chemical composition and various active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） make the ligand fishing technology to play a big role in the screening of enzyme inhibitors from TCM. And the screened enzyme inhibitors are expected to be further developed into the lead compounds with good efficacy and low adverse effects， so the immobilized enzymes of MOFs have a wide application in the screening of active ingredients from TCM. Based on this， this paper summarized the methods of immobilized enzymes of MOFs in recent years， analyzed the characteristics， advantages and disadvantages of each method， and summarized the laws of preparation conditions and mechanisms. Meanwhile， the application and future development of immobilized enzymes of MOFs in the field of enzyme inhibitor screening from TCM were also summarized and prospected， with a view to providing a reference for the development of natural ingredients and the modernization of TCM.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics and prognosis of children with lupus nephritis(LN)and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA).Methods:In this retrospective case-control study, clinical and pathological data of LN children confirmed by renal biopsy from January 2008 to January 2023 in Xuzhou Children′s Hospital, Xuzhou Medical University were analyzed.There were 46 LN children complicated with TMA (LN-TMA group). With matched age, sex and pathology, 92 LN children (1∶2) without TMA were selected as the control group (LN group). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the overall and renal survival rates of children with LN, and the Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk factors for the progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD).Results:TMA was moderately associated with serum creatinine, serum C3, anti-C1q antibody (a-C1q), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), endocapillary proliferation, fibrinoid necrosis, and renal C1q deposition (all r>0.5). Serum a-C1q≥20 U/mL ( HR=8.724, 95% CI: 0.976-16.114, P=0.026) and eGFR≤60 mL/(min·1.73 m 2) ( HR=12.213, 95% CI: 1.147-25.048, P=0.038) were independent risk factors for TMA in children with LN.Glomerular sclerosis ( HR=7.228, 95% CI: 0.186-22.358, P=0.016), TMA ( HR=11.387, 95% CI: 3.426-42.554, P=0.009) and eGFR≤60 mL/(min·1.73 m 2) ( HR=3.116, 95% CI: 0.592-10.064, P=0.030) were independent risk factors for developing ESRD in LN children.The 5-year and 10-year renal survival rates in the LN-TMA group were lower than those in the LN group (97.44% vs.98.28%, 80.90% vs.87.27%, χ2=4.918, P=0.027). Conclusions:Children with LN-TMA present with severe symptoms and poor prognosis.TMA is an independent risk factor for progression to ESRD in children with LN, and the mechanism may be related to complement activation.

Objective:To study the influence of different region of interest (ROI) sketch on measurement results in the diagnosis of breast cancer by imaging technology of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) .Methods:The clinical dataes of 84 patients with breast mass lesions from Apr. 2017 to Oct. 2021 were collected, all patients underwent IVIM-DWI. ROI was delineated at the maximum level of the mass by tumor contour method and fixed radius method. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), real diffusion coefficient (D), perfusion fraction (f) and pseudo diffusion coefficient (D *) were recorded. IVIM-DWI parameters of patients with benign and malignant breast tumors were compared. The influence of ROI delineation by tumor contour method and fixed radius method on the results of IVIM related parameters were compared. Results:Forty-six of 84 patients were malignant and 38 benign masses. The ADC and D values of patients in the malignant group were (0.98±0.24) ×10 -3 mm 2/s, (0.79±0.22) ×10 -3 mm 2/s in the malignant group, significantly lower than those in the benign group [ (1.65±0.43) ×10 -3 mm 2/s, (1.41±0.35) ×10 -3 mm 2/s], and the f value and D * value were (5.65±1.13) %, (43.89±8.05) ×10 -3 mm 2/s, significantly higher than those in the benign group [ (3.84±1.57) %, (37.77±9.3) ×10 -3 mm 2/s]. The differences were statistically significant ( t=9.01, 9.89, 6.13, 3.23; all P<0.05). The results obtained by using the tumor fixed radius method to delineate ROI showed that the ADC and D values of (0.96±0.27) ×10 -3 mm 2/s (0.81±0.23) ×10 -3 mm 2/s in the malignant group were significantly lower than those in the benign group [ (1.66±0.39) ×10 -3 mm 2/s, 1.39±0.37) ×10 -3 mm 2/s], and the f and D * values were (5.69±1.15) %, (43.94±7.98) ×10 -3 mm 2/s, which were significantly higher than those in the benign group [ (3.86±1.49) %, (38.01±8.46) ×10 -3 mm 2/s]. The differences were statistically significant ( t=9.69, 8.78, 6.35, 3.30; all P<0.05) .The 95% consistency interval range of ADC difference, D value difference, f value difference, and D * value difference obtained by using tumor contour method to delineate ROI was smaller than that of tumor fixed radius method. Conclusions:The IVIM has high accuracy in the diagnosis of breast cancer, the IVIM parameters obtained from ROI delineation by tumor contour method have good repeatability.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of femoral head necrosis after internal fixation of fem-oral neck fracture,and to clarify the predictive role of serological index plasminogen activator inhibitors-1(PAI-1)on femoral head necrosis.Methods A total of 95 patients undergoing internal fixation for femoral neck fracture were included in the study.Relevant clinical information of patients was obtained and the serum PAI-1 levels of the patients before surgery,1,2,and 3 days after surgery were detected.After 1-year follow-up,patients were divided into necrosis group and non-necrosis group according to the occurrence of femoral head necrosis.Visual Analog Scale(VAS),Western Ontario McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC),and Harris Hip Score(HHS)were conducted in all patients one year after the surgery.The differences of basic clinical information and serum PAI-1 levels before and after the surgery between necrosis group and non-necrosis group were compared,and Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the relevant risk factors for femoral head necrosis.The relationships between the PAI-1 level after operation and the VAS,WOMAC,and HHS scores of patients were figured out.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of serum PAI-1 as a predictive indicator for femoral head necrosis was drawn to clarify its predictive val-ue.Results Garden classification and reduction quality between the necrosis group and the non-necrosis group were risk factors for femoral head necrosis(P＜0.05).The serum PAI-1 at 1 day and 2 days after surgery in the necrosis group were significantly higher than that in the non-necrosis group(P＜0.05).The level of PAI-1 at 1 day and 2 days after surgery was positively correlated with VAS and WOMAC(P＜0.05),and negative-ly correlated with HHS(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that the increase of serum PAI-1 level at 1 day and 2 days after surgery were risk factors for femoral head necrosis(P＜0.05).The ROC curve showed that serum PAI-1 level at 2 days after surgery had higher predictive value than that at 1 day after sur-gery,and the cut-off value was 44.8 ng/L,the sensitivity was 68.49％,the specificity was 86.36％,and the ar-ea under the curve(AUC)was 0.807.Conclusion The serum PAI-1 level at 1 day and 2 days after internal fixation of femoral neck fracture could be used to predict the occurrence of femoral head necrosis,especially the serum PAI-1 levels at 2 days after surgery.

Objective To investigate the anti-estrogenic activity of bisphenol A and its substitutes, and to analyze the relevant mechanisms. Methods Bisphenol A and its three most widely used substitutes (bisphenol S, bisphenol F and bisphenol AF) were selected as the docking ligand molecules, and estradiol was used as the control ligand molecule. The ligand molecules docking was simulated with estrogen receptor (ER) α and ERβ using AutoDock software. Results Bisphenol A forms a hydrogen bond with ERα at the His474 residue and with ERβ via three hydrogen bonds at Leu260, His428, and Asn431 residues. Similar to bisphenol A, bisphenol S, bisphenol F, bisphenol AF and estradiol primarily interact with ERα and ERβ through hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds, but with varying optimal binding sites and affinities. The binding forces of the optimal binding sites for bisphenol A, bisphenol F, bisphenol AF, bisphenol S and estradiol with ERα were -4.15, -4.19, -2.73, -4.62 and -5.37 kcal/mol, respectively, and with ERβ were -3.76, -3.91, -2.86, -3.93, and -4.98 kcal/mol, respectively. The affinity ranking for two ERs with these five molecules from high to low was estradiol > bisphenol S> bisphenol F> bisphenol A > bisphenol AF. Conclusion The affinity between bisphenol compounds with ERα and ERβ is mainly based on the hydrophobic interaction with non-polar residues of the receptor and hydrogen bonding with key residues. Bisphenol S, bisphenol F and bisphenol AF showed similar or even stronger endocrine disrupting effects than bisphenol A.
