Malignant tumor metastasis is the key factor leading to poor prognosis of patients， and it is a difficult problem to be overcome in the field of tumor therapy. Metabolic reprogramming， as a key link in the regulation of tumor metastasis activity， affects the growth， invasion， and metastasis of tumor cells by changing the metabolic pathways of intracellular substances （such as glucose， amino acids， lipids， and nucleotides）. In particular， metabolic reprogramming plays a key role in the multistage linked steps related to tumor metastasis and can play a crucial role in several key stages of tumor tissue dissociation in situ， hematogenous metastasis， and remote colonization. Malignant tumor cells can selectively adjust their own metabolic state to adapt to the growth conditions of different metastatic microenvironments and colonization sites and then choose the most favorable growth and metabolism strategy. According to the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， the metastasis of malignant tumors is generally closely related to the metabolic state of the whole body. One of the advantages of TCM in the treatment of malignant tumors is systemic regulation. With its multi-pathway， multi-target， and multi-component therapeutic characteristics， TCM can effectively control the metastasis of malignant tumors by regulating the degradation of tumor epithelial mesenchymal transformation （EMT） and extracellular matrix （ECM）， anchoring the independent growth of tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment. In this paper， the potential regulatory effects of metabolic reprogramming on the metastasis of malignant tumors were discussed， and the latest research progress of the regulation of metabolic reprogramming by TCM on tumor metastasis was reviewed. At the same time， the key targets of TCM and its bioactive components in the process of tumor metastasis intervention were reviewed. This study aims to provide a more valuable basis and clearer idea for the treatment of malignant tumor metastasis by regulating metabolic reprogramming with TCM.

Objective To explore the effect of Endoanal advancement flap(ERAF)and transanal opening of interphincteric space(TROPIS)in the treatment of complex anal fistula and their impact on anorectal pressure,so as to provide a reference for clinical selection of surgical methods.Methods Eighty-four patients with complex anal fistula admitted from October 2018 to October 2022 were divided into group E received ERAF treatment(n=48)and group T received TROPIS treatment(n=36).The clinical efficacy,operation,wound surface and anorectal pressure of the two groups were compared.Results The effective rate of treatment in Group T was 97.22％,which was higher than that in Group E(87.50％),with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).The surgical time[(31.53 ±7.29)minutes],intraoperative bleeding volume[(29.56±7.37)ml],and wound area[(10.03± 0.96)cm2,(8.76±0.87)cm2,(6.20±0.77)cm2]on the day of surgery,7 and 14 days after surgery in Group T were all smaller than those in Group E[(35.36±8.54)min,(36.86±8.04)ml,(12.09± 1.23)cm2,(10.52±1.09)cm2 and(7.36±0.85)cm2](P＜0.05).After surgery,the VAS score and Wexner incontinence score of Group T were(1.38±0.27)and(0.21±0.08),respectively.Group E was(1.56±0.29)and(0.33±0.09),respectively.In group T,the anorectal systolic pressure at 20 mm and 30 mm and the anorectal resting pressure at 20 mm and 30 mm were(138.18±29.58)mmHg,(136.22±35.41)mmHg,(35.47±6.58)mmHg,and(32.97±8.01)mmHg,respectively.In Group E,the data was(152.78±31.53)mmHg,(156.29±32.74)mmHg,(38.29±7.62)mmHg and(36.41±7.63)mmHg,respectively.Both groups showed a decrease in score and anorectal pressure,and group T was lower than group E(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in Group E was 20.83％,which was higher than that in Group T(11.11％),but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion TROPIS has a better effect in the treatment of complex anal fistula,which can shorten the operation time,reduce intraoperative bleeding,reduce postoperative pain,and protect anal function.

Objective This study investigated the protective effects of Corni Fructus ethanol extract on β-amyloid protein 25-35 (Aβ25-35)-induced Alzheimer's disease (AD) mice by regulating histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) / postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95) on synapses and neuroinflammation. Methods Specifically, according to the body weight, 40 C57BL/6N mice were randomized into four groups: the sham operation group, the model group, the low-dose (0.1mg/g) and the high-dose (0.3 mg/g) Corni Fructus ethanol extract groups. Aβ25-35 was injected into the hippocampus of mice in three groups except for the sham operation group to established AD model. All mice were orally administered with either Corni Fructus ethanol extract or vehicle by gavage for 7 days before molding and continued 5 days after surgery for a total of 60 days. Morris water maze, Y maze and open field tests were performed to evaluate the recognition memory and space exploration ability of mice. The expression of LSD1, PSD95, synaptophysin (SYN), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and H3K9me2 level were measured by Western blotting. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) combined with qPCR was used to detect H3K9me2 modification of PSD95 promoter region and mRNA levels of PSD95. The correlation between the expression of H3K9me2 and PSD95 and the expression of IBA1 in the hippocampus were detected by immunofluorescence assay.Results The result showed that Corni Fructus ethanol extract significantly reversed Aβ25-35-induced learning and memory impairment in AD mice. Compared with the model group, Corni Fructus ethanol extract demonstrated shorter escape latency, increased number and time of autonomous activities and the rate of autonomous alternation. Moreover, it increased the expression of LSD1 in hippocampus of AD mice(P<0.05), and reduced H3K9me2 modification level in the promoter region of PSD95 gene, and then promoted the mRNA transcription and protein expression of PSD95. Immunofluorescence staining indicated the reduction of H3K9me2 modification level in hippocampus was accompanied by the enhancement of PSD95 expression. Corni Fructus ethanol extract could also inhibit the activation of microglia and reduce the expression of proinflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α.Conclusion Corni Fructus ethanol extract may regulate PSD95 gene transcription by up-regulating the expression of LSD1 and reducing the H3K9me2 modification level in its promoter region, thereby increasing the expression of PSD95, a key protein in synaptic plasticity regulation, which alleviate neuroinflammatory response, improve learning and memory dysfunction in AD model mice, and thus play a protective role in Aβ25-35-induced nerve damage.

Objective:To study the clinical efficacy of our modified double reverse traction technique in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted of the 66 patients with tibial plateau fracture who had been treated by our modified double reverse traction technique at Articular Department, Zhongshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2019 to December 2021. There were 37 males and 29 females, with an age of (44±14) years. The double reverse traction technique was used in all patients for reduction of the tibial plateau fracture, and their collapsed articular surfaces were restored by our self-designed universal high affinity prying technique, or by fibular graft support, or by the hooping technique to restore the transverse diameter of the tibial plateau which had been widened. The outcomes of fracture reduction at 2 days postoperation were recorded and evaluated by Rasmussen imaging assessment. Complications were also recorded. The visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores were compared between preoperation, 3 and 6 months postoperation and the rates of fracture healing between 3 and 6 months postoperation.Results:This group of 66 patients was followed up for 12.0(8.0, 16.5) months. The Rasmussen imaging assessment at 2 days postoperation: 60 excellent, 4 good, and 2 fair cases, yielding an excellent to good rate of 97.0% (64/66). At 3 and 6 months postoperation, the VAS scores [1 (0, 1) and 0 (0, 1)] and HSS scores [84 (78, 88) and 91 (85, 95)] were significantly improved compared with those before operation [4 (3, 5) and 36 (29, 39)], and the values at 6 months postoperation were significantly improved compared with those at 3 months postoperation ( P<0.05). The rate of clinical fracture healing at 6 months postoperation (100%, 66/66) was significantly higher than that at 3 months postoperation (77.3%, 51/66) ( P<0.05). Perioperatively, no adverse events were observed like incision infection, deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs, or failure or exposure of internal fixation, except for delayed incision healing in only one patient. Conclusion:In the minimally invasive surgery for tibial plateau fractures, our modified double reverse traction technique can result in excellent fracture reduction by imaging assessment, fine functional recovery of the knee joint and relief of pain.

[Abstract] Objective: To explore the mRNA molecular targets for diagnosis of hepatic carcionoma and to investigate their functional roles in proliferation and cell cycle of hepatic cancer cells. Methods: Based on the statistical analysis of miRNA expression data from 377 hepatic carcionoma samples and 37 adjacent non-cancerous samples in TCGAdatabase, a group of 33 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified.A further screen of these differentially expressed miRNAs was performed using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis; and with referring to the current publications, miR-451 was screened as the study subject. HepG2 cells were transfected with pLVX-shRNA2-miR-451 to over-express miR-451. The effect of miR-451 over-expression on the proliferation of HepG2 cell was determined by CCK-8 assay; while the effect on cell cycles was detected by flow cytometry. Results: The expression of miR-451 in the adjacent non-cancerous tissues was significantly lower than that in cancer tissues ([473.40±390.24] vs [1 990.47±2 118.04], P<0.05). MiR-451 could be used as an early diagnostic biomarker of hepatic carcionoma, with a high ROC value of 0.91 (sensitivity 0.89, specificity 0.87). The results of in vitro experiments showed that the proliferation of HepG2 cells was significantly decreased after miR-451 over-expression (48 h: [0.69±0.04] vs [1.08±0.05]; 72 h: [0.76±0.07] vs [1.52± 0.02]; all P<0.01), and a large number of cells were blocked in S phase(P<0.05). Conclusion: miR-451 has the potential to be used as a biomarker for hepatic carcionoma diagnosis and prognosis; moreover, it also exhibits the inhibitory effect on proliferation of hepatic cancer cells.

Objective Abnormal activation of mitogen-and stress-activated kinase (MSK1) plays an important role in the development of various cancers.This study was to explore the effect of small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated MSK1-silencing on the proliferation of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells and its underlying mechanism.Methods The siRNA vector targeting MSK1 was constructed and transfected into CNE2 cells, and the NPC cell line stably expressing MSK1 was established.Then the cells were divided into a blank control (without transfection of the plasmid), a negative control (with stable transfection of the negative control plasmid), and an experimental group (with stable transfection of the positive recombinant plasmid).The expressions of MSK1 mRNA and protein were detected by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot, respectively, the proliferation of the cells determined by CCK-8 and colony formation assays, the cell cycles analyzed by flow cytometry, the level of histone H3 phosphorylation at Ser10 examined by Western blot, and The transcriptional activity and expression of the c-jun protein measured by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and Western blot.Results Compared with the blank control, the inhibition rates of cell proliferation at 48, 72 and 96 hours were significantly reduced in the experimental group (P<0.05), and so were the colony formation ability of the cells (P<0.01) and the expression and transcriptional activity of the c-jun protein (P<0.05).In comparison with the negative control, the experimental group showed significant decreases in the rate of cell growth after 24 hours, the inhibition rates of cell proliferation at 48, 72 and 96 hours (P<0.05), the number of formed colonies ([221.00±20.08] vs [99.67±15.57] / 300 cells, P<0.01), the proportion of S-phase cells (P<0.01), and the expression of the c-jun protein in the CNE2 cells ([100.00±0.00] vs [48.77±10.71] %, P<0.05), but a remarkable increase in the percentage of G0/G1-phase cells (P<0.01).Furthermore, histone H3 phosphorylation at Ser10 was markedly reduced (P<0.01) but no significant change was observed in the expression of the total c-jun protein in the experimental group.Conclusion Knockdown of MSK1 using siRNA can significantly inhibit the growth and proliferation of CNE2 cells, which may be closely related to the decreased phosphorylation of histone H3 and subsequently down-regulated transcriptional activity of c-jun.
