OBJECTIVE To investigate the ameliorative effect and potential mechanism of imperatorin （IMP） on doxorubicin （DOX） resistance in breast cancer. METHODS The effects of maximum non-toxic concentration （100 μg/mL） of IMP combined with different concentrations of DOX （12.5， 25， 50， 75， 100 μg/mL） on the proliferation of MCF-7/DOX cells were determined by MTT method. MCF-7/DOX cells were divided into blank control group （1‰ dimethyl sulfoxide）， DOX group （50 μg/mL）， IMP+DOX group （100 μg/mL IMP+50 μg/mL DOX） and IMP group （100 μg/mL）. mRNA and protein expressions of multidrug resistance protein 1 （MDR1） and multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 in each group were measured. The relevant pathways and targets involved in the improvement of DOX resistance in breast cancer cells by IMP were screened and validated by using transcriptome sequencing technology， along with gene ontology （GO） enrichment analyses and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analyses. RESULTS Compared with DOX alone， the combination of IMP and DOX reduced the half inhibitory concentration of DOX on MCF-7/DOX cells from 81.965 μg/mL to 43.170 μg/mL， the reverse fold was 1.90， and the mRNA expression of MDR1 was significantly down-regulated （P＜0.05）. The results of GO enrichment analyses and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses indicated that the reversal of DOX resistance in breast cancer by IMP was mainly associated with the regulation of biological processes such as detoxification， multiple biological processes， and cell killing. The main pathway involved was the p53 signaling pathway， and the key targets mainly included constitutively photomorphogenic protein 1 （COP1）， cyclin E1 （CCNE1）， growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein 45A E-mail：tangxilan1983@163.com （GADD45A） and GADD45B. The results of the verification experiments showed that compared with DOX group， there was a trend of up-regulation of COP1 mRNA， and significant down- regulation of CCNE1， GADD45A， and GADD45B mRNA expression in IMP+DOX group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The effect of IMP in ameliorating DOX resistance in breast cancer is related to its regulation of COP1， CCNE1， GADD45A and GADD45B targets in the p53 signaling pathway.

After COVID -19, patients, medical workers and the whole society in COVID -19 were faced with the challenge of how to quickly return to normal life. Patients cured in COVID -19 would face mental or psychological barriers, or be discriminated against, or face problems such as overweight of local epidemic prevention policies. The front-line medical personnel experienced job burnout and a variety of mental and psychological disorders, with some even developing physical symptoms. During the epidemic, ordinary people were in a state of psychological stress, education, production and economic activities were affected, and the incidence of mental or psychological disorders increases. It was necessary to provide COVID -19 patients with mental health monitoring and counseling. Give professional guidance to front-line medical staff, arrange rotation reasonably, and pay attention to their mental health status. Local governments should strictly implement the national epidemic prevention system, formulate epidemic prevention policies with humanistic care, actively publicize epidemic related knowledge and safeguard the rights and interests of the people.

Objective:To explore the antitumor effect of ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and its mechanism.Methods:The 6-week-old female BALB/c mice were selected, and the bilateral murine subcutaneous B-cell lymphoma model was established with murine B-cell lymphoma A20 cells. The subcutaneous tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into untreated group (without treatment), ADU-S100 in situ vaccine treatment group (intratumoral injection of interferon gene stimulating factor agonist ADU-S100), doxorubicin in situ vaccine treatment group (intratumoral injection of doxorubicin), and ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine treatment group (intratumoral injection of ADU-S100 and doxorubicin) by using random number table method, with 5 mice in each group. The right tumors of the bilateral subcutaneous tumor-bearing mice were defined as proximal tumors, and the left tumors of the bilateral subcutaneous tumor-bearing mice were defined as distal tumors. Only the proximal tumors were treated via the intratumoral route, and the distal tumors were not treated. On day 23 after tumor inoculation, the percentages of CD11c + dendritic cells (DC), CD8 + CD11c + DC and CD80 + CD11c + DC in the spleen of mice in each group were detected by flow cytometry. The splenocytes of mice in each group were stimulated with A20 tumor cell lysate in vitro, the percentages of 5'-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine-positive (EdU +) cells and tumor necrosis factor-α-positive (TNF-α +) cells in CD8 + T cells in each in situ vaccine treatment group were detected by flow cytometry, and the killing effect of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) in each group was measured by using the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) cytotoxicity assay kit. The mice treated with ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine were intraperitoneally injected with anti-mouse CD8α (clone 53-6.7) mAb or isotype control on days 7, 12 and 17 after tumor inoculation to eliminate CD8 + cells. On day 23 after tumor inoculation, the proximal and distal tumor volumes of mice in the ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine combined with anti-mouse CD8α (clone 53-6.7) mAb or isotype control treatment group were measured, the percentages of CD8 + T cells and CD8 + CD11c + DC in the spleen of tumor-bearing mice in these two groups were detected by flow cytometry, and the infiltration of CD8 + T cells in the tumor tissues from these two groups was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Results:On days 11, 14, 17, 20 and 23 after tumor inoculation, the proximal and distal tumor volumes of mice in each treated group were lower than those in the untreated group (all P < 0.05). The proportions of CD11c + DC in the spleen of the untreated group, ADU-S100 in situ vaccine treatment group, doxorubicin in situ vaccine treatment group and ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine treatment group were (4.92±0.63)%, (7.54±0.84)%, (7.45±0.86)% and (11.63±0.85)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 72.30, P < 0.001); the proportions of CD8 + CD11c + DC were (1.36±0.34)%, (4.02±0.43)%, (4.22±0.61)% and (6.11±0.73)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 76.09, P < 0.001); the proportions of CD80 + CD11c + DC were (0.51±0.24)%, (1.69±0.23)%, (1.82±0.25)% and (4.09±0.39)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 167.40, P < 0.001). The CTL responses and the proportion of EdU + cells and TNF-α + cells in CD8 + T cells in each in situ vaccine treatment group were higher than those in the untreated group (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, the enhanced CTL responses and the increased proportion of EdU + cells and TNF-α + cells in CD8 + T cells were observed in the ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine treatment group as compared to the ADU-S100 in situ vaccine treatment group and doxorubicin in situ vaccine treatment group (all P < 0.05). The proportions of CD8 + T cells and CD8 + CD11c + DC in the spleen of mice treated with ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine and anti-mouse CD8α mAb were lower than those in ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine and isotype control group (both P < 0.05) and both proximal and distal tumor volumes of mice treated with ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine and anti-mouse CD8α mAb were larger than those in ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine and isotype control group (both P < 0.05). Conclusions:ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine can induce profound regression of proximal tumors in bilateral murine subcutaneous B-cell lymphoma model and generate systemic immune responses capable of partially inhibiting distant tumor growth, and the antitumor efficacy of ADU-S100/doxorubicin in situ vaccine may require CD8 + CD11c + DC-mediated CD8 + T cell immune responses.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of transferrin-targeting peptide T7 （7pep） on intracellular transportation of polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone （PEG-PCL） micelles in human cervical cancer HeLa cells. METHODS Using coumarin-6 （C6） as fluorescent indicator probe， both coumarin-6 （C6）-loaded PEG-PCL （PEG-PCL-C6） micelles and 7pep-modified PEG- PCL （7pep-PEG-PCL-C6） micelles were prepared by film-dispersion method. The particle size， polydispersity index and appearance morphology were compared between two types of micelles； the real-time uptake of two types of micelles by HeLa cells was compared， and the colocalization of two types of micelles with early endosomes （EE）， endocytic recycling compartments （ERC） and late endosomes （LE） after entry into the cells was observed. RESULTS The particle sizes of PEG-PCL-C6 and 7pep-PEG-PCL- C6 micelles were（75.0±2.3）and（82.0±1.5）nm； the polymer dispersity indexes were 0.17±0.20 and 0.17±0.32， respectively， with a regular spherical appearance. The colocalization results showed that entry speed and amount of 7pep-PEG-PCL-C6 micelles were significantly faster/more than those of PEG-PCL-C6 micelles. 7pep-PEG-PCL-C6 micelles entered EE faster than PEG-PCL-C6 micelles， while PEG-PCL-C6 micelles entered ERC at a faster rate than 7pep-PEG-PCL-C6 micelles， and both PEG-PCL-C6 micelles and 7pep-PEG-PCL-C6 micelles tended to accumulate gradually in LE； Pearson coefficient， signal overlap ratio， and colocalization ratio of 7pep-PEG-PCL-C6 micelles with LE were significantly lower 60 minutes after entering the cell than those 30 minutes after entering the cell （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Targeting 7pep modification can increase the entry speed and amount of PEG-PCL-C6 micelles， and also alter their intracellular transportation behavior.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of endoscopic injection of norepinephrine on cerebral infarction complicated by stress-induced gastrointestinal bleeding.Methods:A total of 150 patients with cerebral infarction complicated by stress-induced gastrointestinal bleeding who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Lishui City People's Hospital from October 2020 to October 2021 were included in this study. These patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group using the random number table method, with 75 patients in each group. Patients in the control group received routine clinical treatment, while those in the observation group received endoscopic injection of norepinephrine in addition to routine clinical treatment. The hemostatic time, blood transfusion volume, and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. The stress index and inflammatory index were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The hemostatic effect and adverse reactions were evaluated in each group.Results:The hemostatic time, blood transfusion volume, and length of hospital stay in the observation group were (16.16 ± 4.36) hours, (385.35 ± 41.28) mL, and (5.35 ± 1.28) days, respectively, which were significantly shorter or less than (27.27 ± 6.34) hours, (447.07 ± 32.07) mL, and (7.07 ± 2.07) days in the control group ( t = 12.50, 10.22, 6.12, all P < 0.001). After treatment, the levels of cortisol, norepinephrine, antidiuretic hormone, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α in the observation group were (288.33 ± 19.53) mmol/L, (29.17 ± 4.26) μg/L, (4.08 ± 1.08) mU/L, (38.27 ± 8.72) ng/L, (6.69 ± 1.35) μg/L, and (6.37 ± 1.51) mg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (327.22 ± 22.01) mmol/L, (39.32 ± 5.54) μg/L, (5.36 ± 1.22) mU/L, (51.24 ± 13.23) ng/L, (8.67 ± 2.29) μg/L, and (11.44 ± 3.13) mg/L in the control group ( t = 11.44, 12.57, 6.80, 7.08, 6.45, 12.63, all P < 0.001). The overall response rate of hemostasis in the observation group was 94.67% (71/75), which was significantly higher than 82.67% (62/75) in the control group ( χ2 = 5.37, P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 8.00% (6/75), which was slightly, but not significantly, lower than 14.67% (11/75) in the control group ( χ2 = 1.66, P > 0.05). Conclusion:Endoscopic injection of norepinephrine for the treatment of cerebral infarction complicated by stress-induced gastrointestinal bleeding can rapidly stop bleeding, effectively reduce inflammation,improve stress index, and be highly safe.

Objective To investigate the incidence and severity of symptoms in patients with gastric cancer who received chemotherapy,we constructed a symptom network to explore core symptoms and bridge symptoms.Furthermore,the study explores the association between core symptoms and Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)constitutions.Methods Patients with gastric cancer who received chemotherapy in the medical oncology and surgical oncology department from March to August 2023 were selected for the study using a convenience sampling method.The MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Gastrointestinal Cancer was used for evaluating gastrointestinal symptoms and their severity among patients receiving chemotherapy for gastric cancer,as well as assessing the classification of TCM constitution among patients.The symptom network model was constructed using the R programming language,and the central index was analyzed to determine the core symptoms and bridge symptoms.Binary logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the association between different physical conditions and the occurrence of core symptoms.Results A total of 346 electronic questionnaires were collected,with 340 valid ones,and the effective recovery rate was 98.3％.The 3 most prevalent and severe symptoms among the 340 patients with gastric cancer were fatigue(85.59％),lack of appetite(82.35％),and taste alteration(81.18％).The centrality index results indicated that grief exhibited the highest intensity,medium,and compactness centrality values(rs=8.23,rb=2.00,rc=0.03),making it the core symptom of this condition.Sleep disorders,lack of appetite,drowsiness,and taste alteration were identified as bridging symptoms with bridge intensities of 0.74,0.76,0.99,and 0.94 respectively.The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between sadness and qi-deficiency constitution,phlegm-dampness constitution(P＜0.05).The phlegm-dampness constitution was positively correlated with the taste alterations(P＜0.05).Conclusion In patients with gastric cancer,fatigue emerges as the most prominent symptom,while sadness assumes the core symptom.Additionally,sleep disorder,lack of appetite,drowsiness,and taste alteration are bridge symptoms.According to the principles of TCM constitution,qi-deficiency and phlegm-dampness are constitutions associated with a higher risk of experiencing sadness,and phlegm-dampness is a constitution associated with a higher risk of taste changes.Nurses can integrate core symptoms and TCM constitutions characteristics to optimize the strategies for symptom intervention.

Objective To explore whether stimulator of interferon genes(STING)agonist ADU-S100 could enhance the antitumor immune response of a chitosan(CS)nanoparticle-mediated DNA vaccine containing a tumor-specific antigen Dickkopf-related protein 1(DKK1)in multiple myeloma(MM).Methods CS-DNA nanoparticles were prepared by using the compound coprecipitation method.The particle sizes and Zeta potential of the CS-DNA nanoparticles were measured by using the Zetasizer Nano-ZS laser particle size analyzer.The DNA protection effect and in vivo DNA expression efficiency of the CS-DNA nanoparticles were assessed by using gel retardation assay and Western blot,respectively.The lentiviruses expressing human DKK1(hDKK1)genes were used to establish MPC-11 cells(MPC-11-hDKK1)which stably expressed hDKK1,and the MPC-11-hDKK1 cells were subcutaneously given to mice to construct tumor models.The tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into a control group(intramuscular injection of CS-pcDNA3.1),an ADU-S100 immunization group(subcutaneous injection of ADU-S100),a CS-pDKK1 immunization group(intramuscular injection of CS-pDKK1)and an ADU-S1OO/CS-pDKK1 co-immunization group(intramuscular injection of CS-pDKK1+subcutaneous injection of ADU-S100),with 5 mice in each group.The tumor-bearing mice in each group were immunized 3 times at 10-day intervals according to the corresponding immunization schedule.The size of tumor was measured every week.On day 42 after MPC-11-hDKK1 cell inoculation,the tumor weight of mice in each immunization group was measured;the percentages of CD11c+dendritic cell(DC),CD8+CD11c+DC and major histocompatibility complex class Ⅱ(MHCII)+CD11c+DC subsets in the spleen of mice in each immunization group were detected by using flow cytometry.The splenocytes of mice in each group were stimulated with recombinant hDKK-1 protein in vitro,the percentage of EdU+cells in CD8+T lymphocytes in each immunization group was detected by using flow cytometry,and the killing effect of cytotoxic T lymphocyte(CTL)in each group was assessed by using the lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)cytotoxicity assay kit.Results The particle size and Zeta potential of the CS-DNA nanoparticles were(204.3±2.31)nm and(15.47±1.01)mV,respectively.Gel retardation assay showed that DNA enveloped in CS nanoparticles could be completely retarded.Western blot analysis indicated that CS-DNA nanoparticles could be effectively expressed in vivo.The relative expression of DKK1 protein was significantly higher in MPC-11-hDKK1 cells than in MPC-11-Ctrl cells(P＜0.05).On days 7 and 14 after MPC-11-hDKK1 cell inoculation,there was no significant difference in tumor volume of mice between the ADU-S100 immunization group,CS-pDKK1 immunization group,ADU-S100/CS-pDKK1 co-immunization group and the control group(P＞0.05);on days 21,28,35 and 42 after MPC-11-hDKK1 cell inoculation,the tumor volumes of mice in the ADU-S100 immunization group,CS-pDKK1 immunization group and ADU-S100/CS-pDKK1 co-immunization group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05);the tumor volume of mice in the ADU-S100/CS-pDKK1 co-immunization group was significantly lower than that in the ADU-S100 immunization group and CS-pDKK1 immunization group(P＜0.05).On day 42 after MPC-11-hDKK1 cell inoculation,the tumor weight of mice in the ADU-S100 immunization group,CS-pDKK1 immunization group and ADU-S1 OO/CS-pDKK1 co-immunization group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05);the tumor weight of mice in the ADU-S100/CS-pDKK1 co-immunization group was significantly lower than that in the ADU-S100 immunization group and CS-pDKK1 immunization group(P＜0.05).The proportions of CD11c+DC,CD8+CD11c+DC and MHCII+CD11c+DC subsets in the spleen of mice in the ADU-S100 immunization group,CS-pDKK1 immunization group and ADU-S100/CS-pDKK1 co-immunization group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The proportions of CD11c+DC,CD8+CD11c+DC and MHCII+CD11c+DC subsets in the spleen of mice in the ADU-S100/CS-pDKK1 co-immunization group were significantly higher than those in the ADU-S100 immunization group and CS-pDKK1 immunization group(P＜0.05).The CTL killing effect and the proportion of EdU+cells in CD8+T lymphocytes in the ADU-S100 immunization group,CS-pDKK1 immunization group and ADU-S1OO/CS-pDKK1 co-immunization group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05);the CTL killing effect and the proportion of EdU+cells in CD8+T lymphocytes in the ADU-S100/CS-pDKK1 co-immunization group were significantly higher than those in the ADU-S100 immunization group and CS-pDKK1 immunization group(P＜0.05).Conclusion STING agonist ADU-S100 can significantly improve the antitumor immunity of the CS-pDKK1 nanoparticle vaccine in MM,and this vaccine strategy provides a potential treatment approach for MM.

Objective:To detect the expression of Toll-like receptor 7(TLR7)in blood neutrophils of patients with allergic rhi-nitis(AR),allergic asthma(AA)and allergic rhinitis combined with allergic asthma(ARA)before and after allergen challenge.Methods:A total of 44 AR,36 AA,19 ARA patients and 19 healthy control(HC)were recruited,the extracts of Artemisia siever-siana wild allergen(ASWE),house dust mite allergen(HDME)and Platanus pollen allergen(PPAE)were used to challenge periph-eral blood of HC as well as the patients,the expression of TLR7 in neutrophils was detected by flow cytometry.Results:In a resting state,compared with HC,upregulated expression of TLR7 in neutrophils in patients with airway allergy:the percentage of TLR7+neu-trophils in AR,AA,ARA patients increased 6 times,3.18 times and 6.15 times,respectively,and the mean fluorescence intensity(MFI)of TLR7 expression in neutrophil in ARA was enhanced by 24%.The results of allergen challenge tests showed that the expres-sion of neutrophils TLR7 did not change in HC subjects after the allergen challenge,whereas the expression of TLR7 in neutrophils of patients with airway allergy was upregulated after the allergens challenge.After HDME and PPAE challenge,the percentage of TLR7+neutrophils in peripheral of AR patients increased by 8.40%and 33.03%,respectively,and the MFI of TLR7 enhanced by 29.62%and 35.72%,respectively.After ASWE and PPAE challenge.The percentage of TLR7+neutrophils in peripheral of AA pa-tients increased by 59.18%and 1.06 times,respectively,and the MFI of TLR7 enhanced by 68.93%and 47.33%,respectively.How-ever,after HDME stimulation only enhanced the MFI of neutrophil TLR7 in AA patients by 66.14%;after HDME challenge,the per-centage of TLR7 and MFI in peripheral blood neutrophils of patients with ARA increased by 21.05%and 35.61%,respectively,while after PPAE challenge,the percentage of TLR7+cells in patients with ARA increased by 20.07%.Conclusion:The expression of TLR7 in blood neutrophils is increased in patients with allergic airway diseases after allergen stimulation,suggesting that allergens may be involved in the occurrence and development of allergic airway diseases by inducing TLR7 expression changes in neutrophils.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes in patients with cervical invasive cancer.Methods:Retrospective selection was conducted on hospitalized patients diagnosed with cervical invasive cancer by pathology at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2016 to December 2020, with complete relevant information. The age, histological classification, specific HPV infection types at the time of diagnosis of cervical cancer were recorded, and differences in HPV types and single and multiple infections in the squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma populations were analyzed. The coverage rate of bivalent, tetravalent, and ninvalent HPV vaccines in the cervical cancer population was analyzed.Results:A total of 231 cases of cervical invasive cancer that met the criteria were included, including 183 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 43 cases of adenocarcinoma, and 5 cases of other histological types. The positive rates of HPV infection in cervical cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma populations were 89.18%(206/231), 92.35%(169/183), and 74.42%(32/43), respectively. The top five types of HPV infection in cervical cancer patients were 16, 18, 58, 52, 31, and 33, respectively; The top five types of infection rate in squamous cell carcinoma patients were HPV16, 18, 58, 52, 31, and 33, respectively; Adenocarcinoma patients only detected 5 types of HPV, with the main types being HPV16 and 18. The infection rates of single HPV type in patients with cervical cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma were 77.49%(179/231), 79.23%(145/183), and 67.44%(29/43), respectively. The multiple infection rates were 11.69%(27/231), 13.11%(24/183), and 6.98%(3/43), respectively. The positive rate of HPV was higher in all age groups of cervical cancer. The coverage rates of bivalent, tetravalent, and ninvalent HPV vaccines covering different types of infections in cervical cancer populations were 66.67% to 74.03%, 67.53% to 74.89%, and 81.39% to 87.44%, respectively.Conclusions:The cervical cancer population is mainly affected by high-risk HPV single infection, mainly including HPV16, 18, 58, 52, 31, 33; The HPV infection rate in the squamous cell carcinoma population is higher than that in the adenocarcinoma group, with the main type being HPV16, while in the adenocarcinoma population, the main types are HPV16 and 18.
