		                        			ObjectiveTo investigate the potential mechanism of Renshen Yangrongtang in alleviating myelosuppression by regulating the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). MethodsK562 cells were divided into blank group, etoposide group (40 μmol·L-1), and etoposide+Renshen Yangrongtang freeze-dried powder groups with low-, medium-, and high-dose (2, 4, 8 g·L-1). Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was used to determine the freeze-dried powder of Renshen Yangrongtang. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to detect ROS, MPO, and NETs expression in each group. Western blot analysis was performed to assess intracellular MPO and NE expressions. Twenty 8-week-old male mice were randomly divided into blank group, etoposide group (100 mg·kg-1), and etoposide + Renshen Yangrongtang groups with low-, medium-, and high-dose (0.1, 0.5, 2.0 g·kg-1). Except for the blank group that received PBS via gavage at room temperature, and the etoposide group that received an intraperitoneal injection for 3 days, the remaining groups received gavage of Renshen Yangrongtang for 14 consecutive days after 3 days of etoposide administration. The peripheral blood related indicators were detected through an automated hematology analyzer; Western blot analysis was performed to assess MPO and neutrophil elastase (NE) expression changes in the marrow cells of mice. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect ROS, MPO, and NETs changes in the marrow cells of mice. MPO and NE on femur bones were stained through immunohistochemistry. Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyze the structural changes of NETs in the marrow cells of mice after drug administration. ResultsLC-MS results showed that the freeze-dried powder of Renshen Yangrongtang contained complete technical materials such as Chinese angelica, Astragalus mongholicus, and ginseng. In K562 cells, compared with the etoposide group, ELISA results indicated that the concentrations of MPO, ROS, and NETs in the etoposide + Renshen Yangrongtang medium and high-dose groups were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and Western blot data showed that the etoposide high-dose group significantly reduced the expression of MPO and NE protein in K562 cells (P<0.05, P<0.01). In vivo, compared with the etoposide group, the number of RBC, WBC, and PLT in the etoposide+Renshen Yangrongtang high-dose group increased significantly (P<0.05). ELISA results suggested that in the etoposide+Renshen Yangrongtang low-, medium-, and high-dose groups, the concentration of mice ROS, MPO, and NETs significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Western blot results revealed that compared with the etoposide group, the expressions of MPO and NE in the marrow cells of mice in the etoposide + Renshen Yangrongtang low-, medium- and high-dose groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Scanning electron microscopy observations revealed that Renshen Yangrongtang reduced the NETs structure generation in the marrow cells of mice after the influence of etoposide. ConclusionRenshen Yangrongtang can alleviate etoposide-induced myelosuppression by inhibiting ROS/MPO and reducing the formation of intracellular NETs.

		                        			Objective:To explore the mechanism of biliary fibrosis after end to end anastomosis of bile duct.Methods:12 Neijiang miniature pigs (6-8 months old, weight 30-40 kg) were divided into experimental group ( n=6) and control group ( n=6). The model of end to end anastomosis after transection of the common bile duct was established in experimental group. Control group was a sham operation group, and only T tube was placed. After 9 months, Masson staining, fluorescence quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze the expressing changes of pro-fibrotic factor transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers, including cytokeratin-19 (CK19), E-cadherin (E-Cad) and fibroblast specific protein-1 (S100A4), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and collagen components Collagen I (COL-1), collagen III (COL-3) and fibronectin (FN) in the anastomotic bile duct tissues. Results:Masson staining showed that the submucosal collagen fibers increased significantly in the experimental group. Compared with the control group, the mRNA expression of TGF-β1 [(3.482±0.313) vs. (1.000±0.102), t=18.43, P<0.001], CTGF [(2.160±0.287) vs. (1.000±0.103), t=9.32, P<0.001] were increased, the difference was statistically significant. Compared with control group, the mRNA and protein expression of CK19 and E-Cad were decreased in the experimental group, while the mRNA and protein expression of S100A4 and α-SMA were increased in the experimental group (all P<0.01). Conclusion:It was feasible in the short term to perform an end-to-end anastomosis after transection of the common bile duct, but there was an obvious fibrosis in the anastomotic bile duct tissue at later time.

		                        			Objective:To understand the prevalence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infection and related factors in outpatients of sexually transmitted disease (STD) in Shenzhen and provide scientific evidence for targeted intervention. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in STD outpatients who were aged 18-49 years, had had sexual intercourse, had not received antibiotics in the last 2 weeks and sought medical cares in 22 medical institutions in 6 districts of Shenzhen from 15 April, 2018 to 16 May, 2018, their basic information and urine samples were collected, and NG in urine sample was detected by nucleic acid amplification test. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the related factors for NG infection.Results:The information collection and sample collection were completed for 8 324 STD outpatients, among these STD outpatients, 196 were NG positive, with a positive rate of 2.4% (196/8 324). The positive rate of NG in men (5.8%, 148/2 567) was higher than that in women (0.8%, 47/5 742) ( χ2=189.43, P<0.05). Aged 24 years or below ( OR=2.11, 95% CI: 1.44-3.09), single/divorced/widowed ( OR=1.98, 95% CI:1.38-2.84), having casual sex in the last 3 months ( OR=1.77, 95% CI:1.29-2.43) were the related factors for NG infection. Conclusions:We found that NG infection rate was high in STD outpatients in Shenzhen. The infection rates in men and in women differed obviously. It is necessary to conduct gonorrhea screening and intervention in STD outpatients with high-risk behaviors, such as extramarital and casual sex behaviors, and standardize the treatment to reduce the incidence and spread of gonorrhea and other STDs.
