ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and mechanism of Polygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma et Radix (Huzhang) in treating respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) infection by regulating pulmonary surfactant lipid homeostasis through lipidomics. MethodsSixty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, positive group(ribavirin group, 46 mg·kg-1), and low- and high-dose Huzhang groups(0.75, 2.25 g·kg-1), with 12 mice in each group. Except for the blank group, all other groups were infected with RSV via intranasal instillation. The drug intervention groups were given corresponding doses of drug by gavage for 3 consecutive days, while normal saline was used in the blank and model groups. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe pathological changes in mouse lung tissue. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) was employed to detect viral loads[RSV-nucleoprotein(N) and RSV-glycoprotein(G) mRNA] and inflammatory factor levels[interleukin(IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α mRNA] in the lung tissue. Mouse bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was collected to detect the levels of pulmonary surfactant lipids through ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS), followed by principal component analysis and differential lipid identification. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group exhibited extensive inflammatory cell infiltration, congestion, and tissue damage in the lungs, and the pathological score and lung index of lung tissue significantly increased(P<0.01), along with significantly elevated mRNA expressions of RSV-N, RSV-G, IL-1β, and TNF-α(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, different doses of Huzhang and ribavirin significantly reduced the pathological scores of the lung tissue and lung index(P<0.01). In addition, the mRNA levels of RSV-N, RSV-G and TNF-α in the lungs significantly decreased in the Huzhang high dose group(P<0.01). Lipidomics analysis identified multiple significantly changed differential metabolites. Compared with the blank group, the model group showed obvious abnormal lipid metabolism, which was manifested by the elevated levels of prostaglandin(PG), ceramide(Cer), phosphatidylcholine(PC), phosphatidylethanolamine(PE), phosphatidylinositol(PI), sphingomyelin(SM), and the decreased levels of diglycerides(DG) and acylethanolamine(NAE). After the intervention of low dose of Huzhang, the above lipid metabolites showed a significant reversal trend, while the intervention of high dose of Huzhang could regulate levels of PI lipids, PG lipids and PC lipids. ConclusionHuzhang can significantly reduce the viral load of lung tissue and improve lung inflammation in RSV-infected mice. The underlying mechanism may be related to the maintenance of homeostasis in pulmonary surfactant lipids such as PI and PG.

Objective To compare the diagnostic performance of PI-RADS v2.1 and PI-RADS v2 in the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer(csPCa) by Meta-analysis. Methods The major biomedical databases were searched (CNKI, CBM, Medline, and Embase) with the keywords "PIRADS v2.1" or "PI-RADS v2.1". The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies Tool v2 (QUADAS-2) was used to evaluate literature quality. Meta-analysis was performed using STATA17.0 and ReMan5.4 software. Forest plots were used to represent the sensitivity and specificity of PI-RADS v2.1 and PI-RADS v2 for each study. Sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio were combined, and diagnostic performance was evaluated using asummary receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC). Subgroup analysis was performed on three covariables: tumor location, threshold, and the nationality of authors. Results A total of 12 studies were included, involving 3 158 patients and 3 243 lesions. Forall zones and the whole gland, PI-RADS v2.1 had a larger area under the SROC curve (AUC) for csPCa performance, compared with PI-RADS v2. Subgroup analysis: PI-RADS v2.1 also had a larger area under the SROC (AUC) to detect transitional zone csPCa. Different diagnostic thresholds: when a score of 4 was used for the threshold, PI-RADS v2.1 had the maximum area under SROC (AUC) for csPCa performance detection. Author nationality: Researches of PI-RADS v2.1 in Chinese authors had the largest area under the SROC (AUC) in detecting csPCa performance. Conclusion Compared with PI-RADS v2, the diagnostic performance of PI-RADS v2.1 in detecting csPCa is not obviously improved and overall specificity is still low.

Triple negative breast cancer is a subtype of breast cancer with poor prognosis and lack of effective treatment. Cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors promote antitumor immunity by influencing the triple negative breast cancer immune microenvironment, such as increasing the tumor cell surface pragrammed death-ligand 1 protein expression, enhancing T cell activation and antigen presentation, changing the proportion of T cell subgroup and inducing lymphocyte infiltration. The change of immune microenvironment is related to tumor progression, but its mechanism is extremely complex. Exploring the mechanism of CDK4/6 inhibitor affecting immune microenvironment and its biomarkers can provide a new direction for the diagnosis and treatment of triple negative breast cancer.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between each dimension of emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication ability, and explore how to improve the interpersonal communication ability of residents through targeted emotional intelligence training.Methods:A total of 132 first-year residents of clinical medicine in the residency training base were jointly measured with emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication evaluation scale on the basis of self-assessment and grading. The differences between groups in self-assessment and grading were detected by one-way ANOVA, and the relationship between various dimensions of emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication ability was explored by correlation analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis. SPSS 19.0 was used to conduct statistical analysis.Results:The self rating scale clearly divided the subjects into three levels. In the total score of emotional intelligence and its various dimensions, the differences between the three levels were statistically significant; the scores of the "good" group were higher than those of the "fair" group and the "slightly insufficient" group. There were statistical significance in the total score of emotional intelligence ( P<0.001) and its emotional perception ( P<0.001), self emotional management ( P<0.001), others' emotional management ( P<0.001) and emotional utilization ( P<0.001). In the total score of interpersonal communication ability and its various dimensions, the differences among the three levels were statistically significant. In the conflict management, the difference between the "good" group and the "fair" group was not statistically significant, and the differences in other items were statistically significant. The total score of emotional intelligence and its dimensions were positively correlated with interpersonal communication ability ( P<0.001), but the two dimensions that had the most significant impact on interpersonal communication ability were emotional perception and others' emotional management ( R2=0.531, P<0.001). Conclusion:By focusing on the cultivation of each dimensions of emotional perception and other emotional management for residents, it is expected to play a positive role in achieving the national goal of cultivating interpersonal communication skills.
