ObjectiveTo investigate the immunological characteristics of the patients with aplastic anemia （AA） and elevated hemogram parameters treated with Yiqi Yangxue prescription combined with Western medicine and the predictive effects of immunological indexes on elevated hemogram parameters， thus providing a reference for the prediction of the treatment efficacy and the adjustment of the treatment regimen. MethodA retrospective study was conducted， involving 77 AA patients treated with Yiqi Yangxue prescription combined with Western medicine for 6 months in 19 medical institutions including Xiyuan Hospital， China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from September 2018 to March 2021. The patients were assigned into two groups according to the elevations in hemogram parameters ［including hemoglobin （HGB）， white blood cell count （WBC）， platelet （PLT）， and absolute neutrophil count （ANC）］ after 6 months of treatment. One group had the elevation <50%， and the other group had the elevation ≥50% compared with the baseline. The clinical and immunological characteristics were compared between the two groups. Result① Compared with the group with HGB elevation<50%， the group with HGB elevation≥50% showed elevated level of CD3⁺ human leukocyte antigen-DR （HLA-DR）⁺ and increased proportion of patients with T-helper cell type 2 （Th2）<5%， CD8⁺≥50%， and CD3⁺HLA-DR⁺≥9% before treatment （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CD8⁺≥50% before treatment was the independent influencing factor for HGB elevation ≥50% ［odds ratio （OR）=12.000， 95% confidence interval （CI） 2.218， 64.928， P<0.01］. ② Compared with the group with WBC elevation<50%， the group with WBC elevation≥50% showed increased proportion of patients with CD3⁺HLA-DR⁺<6% and T-box transcription factor （T-bet）≥200% before treatment （P<0.05）. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CD3⁺HLA-DR⁺<6% （OR=2.998， 95%CI 1.036， 8.680， P<0.05） and T-bet≥200% （OR=3.634， 95%CI 1.076， 12.273， P<0.05） before treatment were independent influencing factors for WBC elevation≥50%. ③ Compared with the group with PLT elevation<50%， the group with PLT elevation≥50% presented lowered Th1 and CD3⁺HLA-DR⁺ levels and increased proportion of patients with Th1<12%， CD4⁺≥6%， and CD3⁺HLA-DR⁺<5% before treatment （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CD3⁺HLA-DR⁺<5% before treatment was the independent influencing factor for PLT elevation≥50% （OR=16.190， 95%CI of 3.430 to 76.434， P<0.01）. ④ Compared with the group with ANC elevation<50%， the group with ANC elevation≥50% showed no significant changes in the hemogram parameters before treatment. ConclusionAs for the AA patients with rapid elevation in HGB， Yiqi Yangxue prescription combined with Western medicine demonstrate significant effects in the patients with Th2<5% and CD3⁺HLA-DR⁺≥9%， especially those with CD8⁺≥50%. As for the AA patients with rapid elevation in WBC， the therapy was particularly effective in the patients with CD3⁺HLA-DR⁺<6% and T-bet≥200%. As for the AA patients with rapid growth in PLT， the therapy was particularly effective in the patients with Th1<12% and CD4⁺≥6%， especially those with CD3⁺HLA-DR⁺<5%.

Objective:To investigate the molecular characteristics of obacunone, and to screen and identify potential targets of obacunone against sepsis.Methods:The pharmacological parameters and molecular characteristics of obacunone were analyzed with the aid of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database Analysis Platform (TCMSP). The potential targets of obacunone against sepsis were screened using SwissTargetPrediction and Drug Repositioning and Adverse Drug Reaction Chemical-Protein Interactome (DRAR-CPI) software, with a Z'-score < -0.5. The anti-sepsis targets of obacunone were selected by Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) and Therapeutic Target Database (TTD). The anti-sepsis potential target was identified by molecular docking software.Results:The oral bioavailability of obacunone was 81.58% and the drug-likeness was 0.57 indicating that obacunone showed good drug formation. A total of 242 potential targets were screened through SwissTargetPrediction and DRAR-CPI software, 13 targets were directly related to sepsis. Cathepsin G (CTSG), caspase-1 (CASP1), S100 calcium binding protein A9 (S100A9), protein C (inactivator of coagulation factors Ⅴa and Ⅷa, PROC), mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), interleukin-10 (IL-10), migration inhibitory factor (MIF), complement C5a receptor 1 (C5AR1), caspase-3 (CASP3), CXC chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2), thrombin receptor (F2R), nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) were identified as the potential targets for anti-sepsis of obacunone by molecular docking software, the free binding energies were -32.55, 1.26, -30.00, 300.08, -31.88, -30.29, -21.38, -30.79, 16 777.84, -21.80, 6 443.36, -20.38, -23.47 kJ/mol, respectively.Conclusions:Obacunone can inhibit blood coagulation and improve inflammatory response by regulating PROC and F2R. It regulates MIF, S100A9, G6PD and IL-10 to play a role in immune response. It regulates CTSG, CASP1, MAPK1, C5AR1 and CASP3 to protect sepsis-damaged organs. By regulating CXCR2, it can reduce the excessive migration of neutrophils to the site of inflammation, alleviate tissue damage. By regulating NAMPT, it improves cellular energy status, reduces oxidative stress, and protects cells from damage.

ObjectiveTo explore the predictive factors for the efficacy of Yiqi Yangxue prescription combined with western medicine in treating aplastic anemia （AA） in non-elderly adults， so as to provide a reference for predicting the prognosis of this therapy. MethodA retrospective study was conducted with the clinical data of non-elderly adult AA patients who visited 19 hospitals including Xiyuan Hospital of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from September 2018 to March 2021 and were treated with Yiqi Yangxue Prescription combined with western medicine. According to the efficacy evaluation results at the 6^th month of treatment， the patients were assigned into effective and ineffective groups. The two groups were compared in terms of the gender， age， disease classification ［non-severe aplastic anemia （NSAA）/severe aplastic anemia （SAA）］， course of disease， family history， complications， history of drug allergy， baseline blood routine examination ［hemoglobin （HGB）， white blood cell （WBC）， neutrophil （ANC）， platelet （PLT）， and reticulocyte （Ret）］， T lymphocyte subsets， degree of proliferation of nucleated cells in bone marrow， and expression of T-bet and GATA-3. ResultA total of 101 non-elderly adult AA patients were enrolled in this study， including 81 in the effective group and 20 in the ineffective group. The effective group had a higher proportion of the patients without a history of drug allergy than the ineffective group （P<0.05）. The body height， body weight， gender， age， disease classification， course of disease， family history， and complications showed no significant differences between two groups. The effective group had higher levels of ANC and PLT before treatment （P<0.05） and higher proportion of patients with ANC≥1.6×10⁹/L and PLT≥25×10⁹/L （P<0.05， P<0.01） than the ineffective group. The baseline levels of WBC， HGB， and Ret showed no significant statistical differences between two groups. The levels of CD3⁺HLA-DR⁺T cells in the effective group before treatment was higher than that in the ineffective group （P<0.05）. The levels of CD3⁺CD19^-T cells， CD4⁺T cells， CD8⁺T cells， Th1 cells， Th2 cells， and CD3⁺CD25⁺T cells showed no significant statistical differences between two groups before treatment. The proportion of patients with active bone marrow nucleated cells proliferation in the effective group before treatment were significantly higher than that in the ineffective group, while the proportion of patients with reduced or extremely reduced proliferation were significantly lower than that in the ineffective group （P<0.05）. The expression levels of T-bet and GATA-3 genes had no significant differences between two groups before treatment. The multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that the ANC level before treatment and history of drug allergy were independent influencing factors for efficacy （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while other indicators were not influencing factors for efficacy. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was applied to analyze the predictive value of the ANC level before treatment in the treatment of AA in non-elderly adults with Yiqi Yangxue prescription combined with western medicine. The area under the curve was 0.679 （P<0.05）， with the critical value of 1.595×10⁹/L， the sensitivity of 0.42， and the specificity of 0.95. ConclusionThe history of drug allergy， pre-treatment ANC， PLT， CD3⁺HLA-DR⁺ T cell levels， and proliferation of nucleated cells in bone marrow before treatment are predictive factors for the efficacy of Yiqi Yangxue prescription combined with western medicine in treating AA in non-elderly adults. This therapy tends to be more effective for the patients with no history of drug allergy， higher ANC and PLT levels before treatment， especially those with ANC≥1.6×10⁹/L， PLT≥25×10⁹/L， and higher CD3⁺ HLA-DR⁺T cell levels and the more active proliferation of nucleated cells in bone marrow before treatment.

Objective:To assess the safety and efficiency of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) combined delayed anticoagulant therapy in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients combined with cardiogenic stroke during anticoagulant therapy.Methods:Using prospective research methods, 35 AF patients combined with cardiogenic stroke during anticoagulant therapy from September 2020 to June 2022 in Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University were selected. All patients were treated with LAAC and delayed anticoagulant therapy. The endpoints were the safety and efficacy of LAAC combined with delayed anticoagulant therapy. The primary endpoint of efficacy was the composite endpoint of postoperative death, myocardial infarction, hemorrhagic stroke and systemic embolism. The safety endpoint was major bleeding as defined by the International Society for Thrombosis and Hemostasis and clinically relevant non-major bleeding.Results:Among 35 patients, 21 were males and 14 were females; the age was (68.5 ± 9.3) years old; the CHA 2DS 2-VASc score was 5 (4, 6) scores; the time to the last stroke was 95 (42, 98) d; the National Institutes of Health stroke scale score at the time of stroke was 3 (1, 6) scores. All patients successfully completed LAAC without perioperative instrument-surface thrombosis, death, new stroke or bleeding events. Thirty-two patients continued oral anticoagulant therapy 45 d after LAAC. The patients were followed up for (12.6 ± 4.3) months, 1 patient experienced recurrent ischemic stroke, 2 patients endured mucosal bleeding, there were no adverse events such as all-cause death, cardiovascular death, systemic embolism and hemorrhagic stroke. Conclusions:The LAAC combined delayed anticoagulant therapy is efficient and safe in patients with AF. For AF patients combined with cardiogenic stroke during anticoagulant therapy, LAAC combined with delayed anticoagulation therapy may be considered to further prevent ischemic stroke events.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of gypenoside ⅩⅦ against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) through nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/antioxidant responsive element (Nrf2/ARE) signaling pathway.Methods:Forty SPF Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham operated group, I/R model group, 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg gypenoside ⅩⅦ groups ( n = 8). Gypenoside ⅩⅦ groups were administered 25, 50 or 100 mg/kg (0.01 mL/g) gypenoside ⅩⅦ by intragastric administration for 14 days; the other two groups received the same dose of saline. Rat cerebral I/R model was established by modified line bolt method; rats in the sham operated group underwent the same procedure without producing substantial embolization. After 24 hours of reperfusion, the neurological deficit scores of the rats in each group were assessed. Rat abdominal aortic whole blood was collected and the serum reactive oxygen species (ROS), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), γ-glutamylcysteine synthase (γ-GCS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), quinone NADH oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected. Then whole brain tissue was harvested and penumbra tissue was isolated from cerebral cortex, the general condition of rat brain tissue and the volume of cerebral infarction were evaluated, the histopathological changes in the brain were observed under light microscopy, the mRNA expressions of Nrf2 and Keap1 were measured by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), the protein expressions of Nrf2 and Keap1 were determined by Western blotting. Results:After 24 hours of reperfusion, compared with the sham operated group, the score of neurological deficit and infarct volume were significantly increased, the NQO1, SOD and γ-GCS levels in serum were significantly decreased, MDA, HO-1 and ROS levels in serum were significantly increased, the Nrf2 and Keap1 mRNA and protein expressions in the ischemic penumbra were significantly increased in rats from I/R model group. Compared with the I/R model group, the neurological deficit scores (1.50±0.53, 1.37±0.52 vs. 2.75±0.46) and brain infarct volume [(19.8±5.1)%, (21.4±6.4)% vs. (42.3±5.8)%] were significantly reduced, serum NQO1, SOD, HO-1 and γ-GCS were significantly increased [NQO1 (ng/L): 186.05±10.38, 220.75±16.22 vs. 131.36±5.95, SOD (kU/L): 63.23±5.30, 72.70±8.62 vs. 36.75±6.55, HO-1 (ng/L): 60.57±7.93, 60.35±4.72 vs. 42.72±4.95, γ-GCS (kU/L): 8.81±0.53, 8.72±0.69 vs. 6.80±0.56], serum MDA and ROS levels were significantly reduced [MDA (μmol/L): 5.94±0.66, 5.61±0.53 vs. 10.88±1.34, ROS (kU/L): 69.11±4.23, 67.12±4.52 vs. 104.43±7.54], the mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2 and Keap1 in the ischemic penumbra were significantly increased in rats from 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg gypenoside ⅩⅦ groups [Nrf2 mRNA (2 -△△Ct): 1.90±0.13, 2.13±0.18 vs. 1.48±0.11, Keap1 mRNA (2 -△△Ct): 1.78±0.11, 1.85±0.10 vs. 1.43±0.10, Nrf2/β-actin: 0.73±0.04, 0.79±0.03 vs. 0.60±0.03, Keap1/β-actin: 0.71±0.01, 0.76±0.03 vs. 0.61±0.01], all the comparative differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01); 25 mg/kg gypenoside ⅩⅦ had no significant effect. Conclusion:Gypenoside ⅩⅦ (50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg) may play a role in anti-cerebral I/R injury by regulating NQO1, SOD, HO-1, γ-GCS, ROS and MDA through Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.

【Objective】 To discuss the effect of temperature on the quality of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared manually. 【Methods】 A total of 120 peripheral blood samples (60 mL/ person) were collected from healthy voluntary blood donors in the Blood Center of General Hospital of Southern Theater Command from May 10, 2010 to September 10, 2010. Each whole blood sample (60mL/ person) was randomly divided into 3 aliquots(20 mL each), totaling 360 aliquots, then divided into 9 groups (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, and C3), with 40 aliquots in each group. In group A: the ambient temperature for PRP preparation was set to (4±2)℃, and the temperature for PRP preparation and centrifugal bin was (4±2)℃, (24±2)℃ and (30±2)℃ for group A1, A2, and A3, respectively. In group B: the ambient temperature for PRP preparation was set to (24±2)℃, and the temperature for PRP preparation and centrifugal bin was (4±2)℃, (24±2)℃ and (30±2)℃ for group B1, B2 and B3 respectively. In group C: the ambient temperature for PRP preparation was set to (30±2)℃, and the temperature for PRP preparation and centrifugal bin was (4±2)℃, (24±2)℃ and (30±2)℃ for group C1, C2 and C3 respectively. Platelet concentrates were separated and prepared by rich slurry method, and the platelet recovery rate was calculated for each group, the platelet morphology was observed under the microscope, and the concentrations of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were quantitatively determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). 【Results】 The platelet count and platelet recovery rate were compared as follows: among group A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2 and C3, the results of A3, B3 and C3were (489.2±21.47) × 10⁹/L vs (495.7±23.2) ×10⁹/L vs (489.4±17.1) ×10⁹/L and (57.4±2.3)% vs (54.9±1.3)% vs (50.7±2.3)%, respectively, all showed platelet aggregation, and the differences, relative to A1 and A2, B1 and B2, and C1 and C2, were statistically significant (P<0.05). Microscopic observation was as follows: in the PRPs collected from group A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2, the platelet cells were uniform in size and without aggregation; in the PRPs collected from group A3, B3 and C3, some platelets showed aggregation. Determination of growth factor content was as follows: the content of TGF-β(ng/L) and PDGF-BB(ng/L) was 375.0±119.1 vs 183.67±106.2 and 933.0±273.0 vs 656±113.0 in the non-aggregation group and the aggregation group, respectively (P<0.05), while the content of VEGF(ng/L) was 217.5±93.5 vs 155.3±103.4 (P>0.05), with no statistically difference. 【Conclusion】 The ambient temperature had little effect on the preparation of PRP, and the temperature of the centrifuge bin was better to be maintained at (24±2)℃.

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide. The combination of the first-line standard agent gemcitabine (GEM) with the molecular-targeted drug erlotinib (Er) has emerged as a promising strategy for pancreatic cancer treatment. However, the clinical benefit from this combination is still far from satisfactory due to the unfavorable drug antagonism and the fibrotic tumor microenvironment. Herein, we propose a membrane-camouflaged dual stimuli-responsive delivery system for the co-delivery of GEM and Er into pancreatic cancer cells and tissues to block the antagonism, as well as reshapes profibrotic tumor microenvironment via simultaneous delivery of small interference RNA (siRNA) for synergistic pancreatic cancer treatment. This "all-in-one" delivery system exhibits sensitive GSH and pH-dependent drug release profiles and enhances the inhibitory effects on the proliferation and migration of tumor cells in vitro. Excitingly, the systemic injection of such a biomimetic drug co-delivery system not only resulted in superior inhibitory effects against orthotopic pancreatic tumor and patient-derived tumor (PDX), but also greatly extended the survival rate of tumor-bearing mice. Our findings provide a promising therapeutic strategy against pancreatic cancer through the enhanced synergistic effect of target therapy, chemotherapy and anti-fibrotic therapy, which represents an appealing way for pancreatic cancer treatment.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment strategies for Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia confirmed using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Methods:A total of 26 patients with Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia admitted to the Huizhou Municipal Central People′s Hospital and Huizhou First People′s Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled. The clinical data were collected, including basic information, clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, chest computed tomography (CT) findings, mNGS results, treatment outcomes and prognosis. Results:Twenty (76.9%) of the 26 cases with Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia had a definite bird or poultry contact history. The onset season was mostly in winter (57.7%, 15/26). All 26 cases had symptoms of high fever, chill, fatigue, anorexia and cough, 21 cases (80.8%) had dyspnea, 19 cases (73.1%) had relative infrequent pulse, 12 cases (46.2%) had headache, myalgia, and seven cases (26.9%) had disturbance of consciousness. Among the 26 cases, the white blood cell count was normal in 17 cases (65.4%), and the lymphocyte count was decreased in 21 cases (80.8%). All 26 cases had increased hypersensitive C-reactive protein and procalcitonin. D-dimer was elevated in 24 cases (92.3%), aspartate aminotransferase was elevated in 18 cases (69.2%), and alanine aminotransferase was elevated in 15 cases (57.7%). Chest CT mainly showed lung consolidation, and 20 cases (76.9%) had multiple lobes of the lungs involved, 18 cases (69.2%) had the lower lobe of the lung as the main lesion. Among the results of mNGS of 26 cases, nine cases (34.6%) had only Chlamydia psittaci detected, and 17 cases (65.4%) had other pathogenic microorganisms detected. After targeted anti-infection treatment, two cases died of multiple organ failure and the remaining 24 patients recovered. Conclusions:The common manifestations of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia are high fever, dyspnea, relative bradycardia, normal white blood cell count, and lung consolidation. mNGS is helpful for early diagnosis of disease, and appropriate treatment can improve the prognosis.
