ObjectiveTo investigate the potential mechanism of action of the Qufeng Tongqiao Cough-relieving Decoction （祛风通窍止咳方， QTCD） in the treatment of upper airway cough syndrome （UACS）. MethodsTwenty-four guinea pigs were randomly divided into blank group， model group， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） group， and inhibitor group， with six guinea pigs in each group. Except for the blank group， guinea pigs were sensitized with ovalbumin and aluminum hydroxide via intraperitoneal injection， followed by ovalbumin nasal drops combined with smoke exposure to establish the UACS model. After modeling， the TCM group was administered QTCD 0.9 g/（100 g·d） by gavage， the inhibitor group received the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 4 （TRPV4） inhibitor GSK2193874 1 mmol/L， 5 min by nebulisation， and the blank group and model group were given 2 ml/（100 g·d） normal saline by gavage once daily. After 7 days of treatment， a cough provocation test was performed using 0.4 mol/L citric acid. The levels of IgE in serum and inflammatory cytokines， including interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-8 （IL-8） in serum， bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF）， and nasal lavage fluid （NLF） were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Histopathological changes in lung and nasal mucosal tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein levels of TRPV4， substance P （SP）， and calcitonin gene-related peptide （CGRP） in lung and nasal mucosal tissues. Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of TRPV4， SP， and CGRP in lung tissues. ResultsHE staining showed significant structural damage and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lung and nasal mucosal tissues in the model group， while the TCM group and inhibitor group showed improved pathological changes. Compared with the blank group， the model group showed increased cough frequency， serum IgE level， and IL-6 and IL-8 levels in serum， BALF， and NLF. The protein levels of TRPV4， SP， and CGRP in lung and nasal mucosal tissues and their mRNA expression were elevated （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the TCM group and inhibitor group showed reduced cough frequency， serum IgE level， and TRPV4 and SP mRNA expression in lung tissues. The TCM group showed reduced IL-6 and IL-8 levels in serum， BALF， and NLF， and reduced TRPV4 and CGRP protein levels in lung and nasal mucosal tissues. The inhibitor group showed reduced IL-6 and IL-8 levels in serum， BALF， and NLF， reduced IL-6 in BALF， reduced IL-8 in NLF， and decreased TRPV4， SP， and CGRP protein levels in lung tissues and SP and CGRP protein levels in nasal mucosal tissues （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the TCM group， the inhibitor group had increased serum IgE， IL-6， and IL-8 levels， increased IL-6 level in BALF， and increased IL-8 levle in NLF， but decreased SP protein level in lung tissues and increased TRPV4 and SP mRNA expression in lung tissues （P＜0.01）. ConclusionQTCD effectively reduces cough frequency in the UACS guinea pig model. Its mechanism may involve inhibiting the activation of the TRPV4 pathway， improving airway neurogenic inflammation， alleviating inflammatory responses， and reducing cough hypersensitivity.

Objective To explore the value of automated functional imaging(AFI)in predicting coronary artery stenosis in patients without ventricular wall motion abnormalities.Methods A total of 40 patients without ventricular wall motion abnormalities under two-dimensional echocardiography and confirmed coronary artery heart diseases(CHD)(coronary stenosis≥70％)by coronary angiography(CAG)at the Xinxiang Central Hospital from July 2018 to September 2019 were selected as the research subjects.The detection rates of coronary artery stenosis ≥70％by AFI and CAG were compared.With reference to CAG as the gold standard,the predictive value of AFI for coronary artery stenosis ≥70％was evaluated.Results There was no significant difference in the detection rates of coronary artery stenosis ≥70％by AFI and CAG(x2=1.667,P＞0.05).The predictive efficacy of AFI for coronary artery stenosis ≥70％was as follows:a sensitivity of 100％,a specificity of 63.6％,the positive predictive value of 69.2％,the negative predictive value of 100％,and an accuracy of 80％for predicting stenosis ≥70％in the left anterior descending artery;a sensitivity of 56.2％,a specificity of 91.6％,the positive predictive value of 81.8％,the negative predictive value of 75.8％,and an accuracy of 77.5％for predicting stenosis ≥70％in the left circumflex artery;a sensitivity of 95.6％,a specificity of 47.0％,the positive predictive value of 70.9％,the negative predictive value of 88.0％,and an accuracy of 75.0％for predicting stenosis ≥70％in the right coronary artery;the overall sensitivity of 85.9％,the overall specificity of 69.8％,the overall positive predictive value of 72.0％,the overall negative predictive value of 84.6％,and the overall accuracy of 77.5％.Conclusion AFI can provide a sensitive,objective,non-invasive,and inexpensive examination method for the early clinical forecast of coronary artery stenosis.

Tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs)are the predominant cell group in the tumor microenvironment(TME)and are the most important regulatory cells of immune system suppression and tumor cell proliferation in TIME.Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2(SHP-2)is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase that plays an important role in the transmission of signals from the cell surface to the nucleus.SHP-2 is a key intracellular regulatory factor mediating cell proliferation and differentiation and is involved in a variety of growth factor and cytokine signaling pathways linking the cell surface to the nucleus.Recent studies have shown that SHP-2 is a key enzyme in determining the function of TAMs,but because of its variable function,it plays different or even opposite roles in different solid TMEs.This paper reviews the function of SHP-2 in TAMs and related solid tumors to provide a comprehensive reference for tumor immunity and targeted therapy research.

Objective:To investigate the sensitivity of tumor organoids derived from samples of colorectal cancer to lobaplatin and oxaliplatin hyperthermic perfusion in vitro and to assist clinical development of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Method:Tumor samples and relevant clinical data were collected from patients with pathologically confirmed colorectal cancer in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2021 to December 2022. Organoids were cultured and tumor tissue were passaged. In vitro hyperthermic perfusion experiments were performed on organoids with good viability. Firstly, 10 organoids were treated with oxaliplatin and lobaplatin at the following six concentrations: 1 000, 250, 62.5, 15.6, 3.9, and 0.98 μmol/L. The organoids were exposed to oxaliplatin at 42℃ for 30 minutes and to lobaplatin at 42℃ for 60 minutes. Dose-response curves of responses to in vitro hyperthermic perfusion with these two drugs were constructed and evaluated. Clinical doses of oxaliplatin and lobaplatin were further tested on 30 organoids. This testing revealed oxaliplatin was effective at 579 μmol/L at a hyperthermic perfusion temperature of 42℃ for 30 min and lobaplatin was effective at 240 μmol/L at a hyperthermic perfusion temperature of 42℃ for 60 minutes. Result:Thirty-two tumor organoids were cultured from samples of colorectal cancer. The median concentration required for oxaliplatin to eliminate 50% of tumor cells (IC50) was 577.45 μmol/L (IQR: 1846.09 μmol/L). The median IC50 for lobaplatin was 85.04 μmol/L (IQR: 305.01 μmol/L).The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant ( Z=1.784, P=0.084). In seven of 10 organoids, lobaplatin showed a greater IC50 after in vitro hyperthermic perfusion than did oxaliplatin. Testing of 30 organoids with clinical doses of oxaliplatin and lobaplatin revealed that oxaliplatin achieved an average inhibition rate of 39.6% (95%CI: 32.1%?47.0%), whereas the average rate of inhibition for lobaplatin was 89.7% (95%CI: 87.0%?92.3%): this difference is statistically significant ( t=?15.282, P<0.001). Conclusion:The rate of inhibition achieved by hyperthermic perfusion of lobaplatin in vitro is better than that achieved by hyperthermic perfusion with oxaliplatin. Lobaplatin is more effective than oxaliplatin when administered by hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion and therefore has the potential to replace oxaliplatin in this setting.

OBJECTIVE To establish high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） fingerprint of Xiaohe syrup and determine the contents of 10 effective ingredients in them. METHODS With 12 batches of Xiaohe syrup as samples， ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS） was adopted with Athena C18 （250 mm×4.6 mm， 5 μm） as the chromatographic column， acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution as mobile phase for gradient elution. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min， and the detection wavelength was 210 nm. Similarity Evaluation System for Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprint （2012A version） was imported to establish the fingerprint of Xiaohe syrup and evaluate the similarity. The content determination was performed on ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18（ 100 mm×2.1 mm， 1.7 μm） chromatographic column， with 0.01% formic acid acetonitrile-0.01% formic acid water as mobile phase for gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min； combined with high-resolution mass spectrometer， positive and negative ions were scanned with an electric spray ion source to determine the content of each main component in 12 batches of Xiaohe syrup. RESULTS A total of 33 common peaks were calibrated in 12 batches of samples， with similarities greater than 0.97； 10 chromatographic peaks were confirmed， namely flavonoid glycosides， paeoniflorin， ferulic acid， naringin， rosmarinic acid， neohesperidin， salvianolic acid B， tetrahydropalmatine， saikosaponin A， and saikosaponin D. The results of content determination showed that the above 10 components had good linear relationships within their respective mass concentration ranges （all R 2＞0.999）， with contents ranging from 0.35 to 0.64， 3.15 to 5.61， 0.11 to 0.17， 1.68 to 3.17， 1.59 to 1.90， 1.15 to 1.64， 0.78 to 1.48， 0.11 to 0.26， 0.06 to 0.13， and 0.33 to 0.61 mg/mL， respectively. CONCLUSIONS The main components of 12 batches of Xiaohe syrup are similar， but the contents vary； HPLC fingerprint and UPLC-MS/MS content determination method established in this study can be used for comprehensive quality evaluation of Xiaohe syrup.

AIM:To explore the therapeutic effect of teprenone(geranylgeranylacetone,GGA)on lipopolysac-charide(LPS)-induced cardiac dysfunction and its mechanism.METHODS:(1)Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 wild-type mice and carboxyl terminus of heat shock protein 70(HSP70)-interacting protein(CHIP)gene knockout mice were randomly divided into control group,LPS group,LPS+GGA group and GGA group,with 8 mice in each group.The model was established by intraperitoneal injection of LPS(25 mg/kg),and 1 h after LPS stimulation,mice were given intraperito-neal injection of GGA(100 mg/kg).The technique of high-resolution ultrasonography system was used to evaluate the car-diac function of mice.The serum of mice from each group were collected to detect the levels of creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH).HE staining was performed to observe histological changes of cardiac tissues.ELISA was used to detect the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)in cardiac tissues.West-ern blot was used to detect the protein levels of HSP70,CHIP,karyopherin-α 2(KPNA2),myeloperoxidase(MPO),vas-cular cell adhesion molecule(VCAM),intercellular cell adhesion molecule(ICAM),and nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)in cardiac tissues.(2)In vitro cell inflammation model was established using mouse myocardial cells HL-1 stimulated with LPS.ELISA was used to detect the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in cell supernatants.Western blot was used to detect the pro-tein expression levels of HSP70,CHIP,and KPNA2 in myocardial cells.Immunofluorescence staining was performed to observe the content of nuclear NF-κB.RESULTS:(1)GGA effectively improved cardiac function of LPS-stimulated mice,significantly increased ejection fraction and left ventricular fractional shortening(P<0.01),reduced serum levels of CK-MB and LDH(P<0.01),and alleviated myocardial injury.(2)GGA significantly reduced the release of TNF-α and IL-6 caused by LPS(P<0.01),as well as nuclear translocation of NF-κB,decreased the levels of KPNA2,MPO,VCAM and ICAM in cardiac tissues,and increased the levels of HSP70 in cardiac tissues and cells(P<0.01).(3)In CHIP knockout myocardial cells and mice,GGA failed to inhibit LPS-induced inflammatory response and lost its effect on im-proving cardiac function.CONCLUSION:The protective effect of GGA against LPS-caused cardiac dysfunction of mice is related to increasing expression of HSP70 and promoting CHIP activation,which inhibits the translocation of NF-κB into nucleus and suppresses inflammatory factor release.CHIP knockout abolishes the effects of GGA on reducing LPS-induced inflammatory response and myocardial injury.

Background Fatigue driving is an important cause of road traffic accidents in modern society, and the fatigue condition of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers has attracted widespread attention. Research on the fatigue status and influencing factors of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers in China is relatively rare at present. Objective To analyze the main characteristics of fatigue among heavy-duty commercial truck drivers and the impacts of factors such as working hours, insomnia, and occupational burnout on their fatigue status. Methods Using cluster sampling method, a cross-sectional study was conducted from July to August 2023, enrolling heavy-duty commercial truck drivers in long-distance freight logistics markets (stations) located in three administrative regions of W City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect demographic and occupational characteristics of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers, and the Chinese versions of Fatigue Scale-14 (FS-14), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS) were used to evaluate their fatigue, insomnia, and occupational burnout status, respectively. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Walls H test were used to compare intergroup differences, and Spearman correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between variables. Hierarchical regression models were used to study the impacts of selected variables on fatigue status. Results This study obtained 311 valid questionnaires, with a valid recovery rate of 88.86% (311/350). The physical fatigue, mental fatigue, and total fatigue scores of the survey subjects in M (P₂₅, P₇₅) were 3.00 (2.00, 4.00), 2.00 (1.00, 3.00), and 5.00 (4.00, 6.00), respectively. The comparison results showed that, except for smoking, there were statistically significant differences in total fatigue scores between different groups of age, marital status, number of children, educational level, service length of freight transportation, average daily working time, and average monthly income (P<0.05). The difference in total fatigue score among the groups without sleep disorders, with suspected insomnia, and with insomnia was statistically significant (P<0.001). The difference in total fatigue score among the groups without occupational burnout, with moderate occupational burnout, and with severe occupational burnout was also statistically significant (P<0.001). Positive correlations were found between insomnia score and scores of physical fatigue (r_s=0.507), mental fatigue (r_s=0.547), and total fatigue (r_s=0.618) (P<0.001). Hierarchical regression models revealed that having more children, extended daily working hours, insomnia, and increased scores of decreased personal accomplishment were negative factors affecting the fatigue status of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers (P<0.05), and the final regression equation was: total fatigue score=7.579+0.581×number of children+0.916×average daily working time+0.434×score of AIS+0.754×score of reduced personal accomplishment. Conclusion The fatigue status of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers is not optimistic. An increase in the number of children, extended daily working hours, severe insomnia symptoms, and increased scores of decreased personal accomplishment associate with their worse fatigue status.
