Objective: To design and establish a new method for flow cytometry-based detection of commonly observed highly expressed antigens on red blood cells, and to further evaluate the differences and distribution characteristics of antigen expression levels between ABO blood type homozygotes and heterozygotes in healthy individuals. Methods: Residual blood samples after donor blood type identification by Shanghai Blood Center in April 2024 were collected. Among them, samples of 19 homozygous and 19 heterozygous individuals of type A and type B were selected. Then the expression level of ABO antigen on red blood cells were detected using the new method established in this study and the traditional aldehyde fixed red blood cell method. Both methods were tested independently three times and the results were compared. Results: The mean values of the three detection results of the new method was (×10
/RBC): AA homozygous 3.3±0.5, AO heterozygous 2.8±0.3, BB homozygous 3.6±0.3, BO heterozygous 3.1±2.8. The mean values of the three detection results of the aldehyde fixation method were AA homozygous 5.9±0.9, AO heterozygous 5.0±1.4, BB homozygous 3.8±0.6, and BO heterozygous 3.3±0.4. The average antigen distribution of each genotype followed a normal distribution. Comparing the average antigen expression levels of homozygotes and heterozygotes, both methods showed that A/B homozygotes had higher antigen levels than heterozygotes, with AA being 1.17 to 1.18 times that of AO and BB being 1.15 to 1.16 times that of BO. Comparing the inter batch differences in the three test results of two methods, the new method showed no significant difference in the three test results for four genotypes (P>0.05). The aldehyde fixation method showed significant differences in the test results for all three genotypes (P<0.01) except for BB homozygotes (P>0.05). The reliability and reproducibility of the new method were better than those of the traditional aldehyde fixation method. Conclusion: The antigen expression level of ABO homozygotes is higher than that of heterozygotes, and the difference in antigen level between type A homozygotes and heterozygotes is slightly higher than that of type B. The new method is superior to traditional aldolization fixation methods.

ObjectiveThrough qualitatively and quantitatively analysis of the differences in chemical composition between the combined decoction and single decoction of Huaganjian and comparison of their core efficacy, to explore the rationality of the flexible clinical application of Huaganjian compound preparations and single-flavored dispensing granules. MethodsUltra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS) was used to qualitatively analyze the combined decoction and single decoction samples of Huaganjian, and meanwhile, the contents of four index components(geniposide, paeoniflorin, hesperidin and paeonol) were quantitatively analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) rat model induced by high-fat diet was applied to compare the efficacy of combined decoction and single decoction of Huaganjian. A total of 30 male SD rats were randomly divided into the control group, model group, lovastatin group(1.8 mg·kg-1), combined decoction group(1.26 g·kg-1) and single decoction group(1.18 g·kg-1). After successful modeling, lovastatin group, combined decoction group and single decoction group were given corresponding doses of drugs by intragastric administration every day, and the control group and model group were given equal amounts of normal saline by intragastric administration, after 4 weeks of administration, the serum and liver tissues were collected, and the contents of alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) in serum of rats were detected, and the liver pathological examination was carried out by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining and oil red O staining, so as to compare differences of their efficacy. ResultsSeventy chemical components were initially identified and attributed from the lyophilized powder of the combined decoction and single decoction samples of Huaganjian, and there was no obvious difference in composition between the two. Further quantitative analysis showed that the contents of geniposide, paeoniflorin, hesperidin and paeonol in the combined decoction samples were significantly increased when compared with those of the single decoction samples(P<0.01). The pharmacodynamic results showed that compared with the model group, both the combined and single decoction groups of Huaganjian could improve the liver index of NAFLD rats, reduce the serum levels of AST, ALT, TC, TG and LDL-C, increase the serum level of HDL-C, and ameliorate the pathological changes of liver cell steatosis and fat accumulation. However, there was no significant difference in pharmacodynamic effects between the combined decoction group and the single decoction group. ConclusionThere is no significant difference between the combined decoction and single decoction of Huaganjian in terms of chemical composition, but the contents of the four index components show significantly difference. Both of them can significantly improve the fat accumulation and liver function in NAFLD rats. This study provides a reference basis for the rational clinical application and evaluation of famous classical formula compound preparations and single-flavored dispensing granules.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of action of Cuscutae Semen-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma in the treatment of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) through network pharmacology, molecular docking, and cell experiment verification. MethodsThe Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and UniPort databases were used to screen and organize the active ingredients and corresponding targets of Cuscutae Semen-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. The potential therapeutic targets of RSA were screened in Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), GeneCards database, DrugBank database, DisGeNET database, and Therapeutic Target Database (TTD). The potential core targets of Cuscutae Semen-Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma for treating RSA were further screened by constructing a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and topological analysis. Meanwhile, the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) was chosen to perform enrichment analysis on intersection targets. On this basis, AutoDock software was used for molecular docking, and the data were imported into PyMOL software for visualization and composition. Finally, the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) experiment, Transwell cell invasion assay, and Western blot were used to detect the effects of serum containing Cuscutae Semen-Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma on HTR-8/SVneo cells and observe the effects on the interleukin (IL)-6/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3) signaling pathway and related proteins. ResultsThrough network pharmacology analysis, a total of 69 active ingredients, 73 potential therapeutic targets, and 17 core targets, including IL-6, IL-10, and STAT3, were collected. The 73 common targets were enriched in 614 Gene Ontology (GO) entries and 57 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) signaling pathways. The molecular docking results indicated that IL-6 and STAT3 had good binding ability with the main active ingredients, including matrine, cryptotanshinone, and tanshinone ⅡA. The cell experiment results showed that, compared with those of the control group, after 24 hours of treatment with the drug-containing serum, the survival and invasion rates of HTR-8/SVneo cells were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the expression of IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway and related proteins IL-10 and c-Myc was significantly elevated (P<0.05). Moreover, the trend of action in the drug-containing serum group was consistent with that of pathway agonists. ConclusionCuscutae Semen-Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma may enhance the survival rate and invasive activity of HTR-8/SVneo cells to further prevent and treat RSA by activating the IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway and upregulating the expression of downstream factors IL-10 and c-Myc in the pathway.

As a practical carrier for promoting the tiered diagnosis and treatment model, the medical consor-tium is of great significance for balancing medical resources and boosting medical service efficiency. The construction of medical consortiums not only improves the accessibility of high-quality medical resources for patients, but also enhances the diagnostic and treatment level of member units. Meanwhile, it provides space for the leading hospital to adjust the structure of diseases and improve the level of discipline construction. As the core of medical insurance payment reform, DRG, through indicators such as the case mix index(CMI) and the number of diagnosis related group (DRG), provides objective and quantified data support for case management and disease structure optimization, thus effectively guiding the rational allocation of medical resources and the adjustmentof diseases and surgical types within the medical consortium. Comprehensive use of DRG evaluation indicators can construct a multidimensional medical consortium construction evaluation system, provides a clear direction for medical consortium cooperation, thereby promoting the overall healthy and sustainable development of medical consortiums and achieving a win-win situation for all parties involved. This paper, based on the "1+5+1" medical consortium cooperation model centered around Peking Union Medical College Hospital, utilizes DRG indicators to analyze the benefits for patients, member hospitals, and the leading hospital during the medical consortium construction process, with the hope of providing reference for the construction of a medical consortium evaluation system.

Objective:To establish and verify a diagnostic model for distinguishing multiple sclerosis (MS) from other neurological diseases with similar symptoms by usingcerebrospinal fluid oligoclonal band (CSF-OCB)combined with IgG intrathecal synthesis indicators and biochemical markers.Methods:Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients admitted to the Neurology Department of Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University from January 2014 to December 2022 were selected as the case group, while patients with similar neurological symptoms were selected as the control group. Using the case-control study design, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the detection of age, gender, oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid, IgG intrathecal synthesis indicators and biochemical indicators for all study subjects. The differential diagnosis model was determined by the multiple logistic regression analysis, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficiency of the differential diagnosis model for neurological diseases with similar symptoms to MS and other conditions.Results:This study included 167 patients in the case group and 335 patients in the control group, of which 128 patients in the case group and 265 patients in the control group were used to construct the model, and 39 patients in the case group and 70 patients in the control group were used for model validation. The differential diagnostic model constructed by a multivariate logistic regression model was Y=0.871×CSF-OCB-0.051×CSFprotein-0.231×CSFchloride+1.183×gender-0.036×LDH+35.770. The model showed that the area under the curve, sensitivity and specificity were respectively 0.916, 87.3% and 87.6%. The Delong test results showed that the diagnostic efficacy of the model was significantly different from OCB, IgG intrathecal synthesis indicators, and OCB combined with IgG intrathecal synthesis indicators ( P<0.05). The new model validation showed that the actual diagnostic consistency rate for the MS group was 84.6%, while the actual diagnostic consistency rate for the control group was 90.0%. Conclusion:This study combines OCB, IgG intrathecal synthesis indicators, and biochemical indicators to establish a diagnostic prediction model for neurological diseases with similar clinical symptoms in MS. This model may have good differential diagnostic value and can better assist clinical diagnosis in the early stages of disease progression in MS patients.

Cell metabolism is one of the basic characteristics of life, and the host metabolic state is closely related to the process and outcome of viral infection. Viruses can use the metabolites in host cells to complete the life cycle. When the virus particles are adsorbed onto the surface of the susceptible cells and enter the cells, a series of biomolecules synthesized by the host cells are involved in the intracellular transport of the virus. Thus, the virus completes its replication cycle and infects more cells. Besides, metabolic reactions and metabolites can regulate the host antiviral responses at various stages of viral infection, thus affecting the outcome of viral infection. Therefore, cell metabolism plays key roles in affecting viral infection and host antiviral responses. In this paper, the effects of cell metabolism on the interaction between viruses and host cells will be described from the six stages of virus replication cycle in vivo.
