OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of Jingangteng capsules in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS Thirty-two SD rats were randomly divided into normal group and modeling group. The modeling group was fed a high-fat diet to establish a NAFLD model. The successfully modeled rats were then randomly divided into model group, atorvastatin group[positive control, 2 mg/(kg·d)], and Jingangteng capsules low- and high-dose groups [0.63 and 2.52 mg/(kg·d)], with 6 rats in each group. The pathological changes of the liver were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and oil red O staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to determine the serum levels of triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-18. 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing and metabolomics techniques were applied to explore the effects of Jingangteng capsules on gut microbiota and metabolisms in NAFLD rats. Based on the E-mail:591146765@qq.com metabolomics results, Western blot analysis was performed to detect proteins related to the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB)/NOD-like receptor family protein 3 (NLRP3) signaling pathway in the livers of NAFLD rats. RESULTS The experimental results showed that Jingangteng capsules could significantly reduce the serum levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, AST, ALT, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, while increased the level of HDL-C, and alleviated the hepatic cellular steatosis and inflammatory infiltration in NAFLD rats. They could regulate the gut microbiota disorders in NAFLD rats, significantly increased the relative abundance of Romboutsia and Oscillospira, and significantly decreased the relative abundance of Blautia (P<0.05). They also regulated metabolic disorders primarily by affecting secondary bile acid biosynthesis, fatty acid degradation, O-antigen nucleotide sugar biosynthesis, etc. Results of Western blot assay showed that they significantly reduced the phosphorylation levels of NF-κB p65 and NF-κB inhibitor α, and the protein expression levels of NLRP3, caspase-1 and ASC (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Jingangteng capsules could improve inflammation, lipid accumulation and liver injury in NAFLD rats, regulate the disorders of gut microbiota and metabolisms, and inhibit NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway. Their therapeutic effects against NAFLD are mediated through the inhibition of the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Objective:To observe the role of Huaiqihuang Granules (HQ) in the long-term management of bronchial asthma in young children, and the effective effect on concomitant rhinitis.Methods:A prospective real-world multicenter study was conducted in children aged 2-5 years with asthma diagnosed in the outpatient department (from April 2016 to March 2019)who received either inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA)(control group); inhaled ICS/LTRA plus HQ(combination group), or HQ alone(HQ group). All patients were followed up at week 4, 8, 12 after treatment. The number of days with asthma symptoms, the frequency of severe asthma attacks, the level of asthma control, and the days with rhinitis symptoms in the last 4 weeks were recorded. Differences before and after treatment, and those among groups after treatment were compared using Kruskal- Wallis H test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results:A total of 2 234 eligible patients were recruited, and 2 147 cases completed followed-up visits, including 477, 1 374 and 296 cases in the control group, combination group, and HQ group, respectively. After the treatment, all 3 groups showed significant declines in the days with asthma symptoms, frequency of severe asthma attack and the days with rhinitis symptoms (all P<0.01), and the rate of well-controlled asthma increased significantly ( P<0.01). It lasted until the end of follow-up. Among groups, patients in the combination group showed significantly less days of asthma symptoms than those of the other 2 group at week 8 and 12[0(0, 0.9) d vs.0(0, 0.3) d, P<0.05; 0(0, 0.1) d vs. 0(0, 1.0) d, P<0.01]. Patients in the combination group and HQ group showed a significantly lower rate of severe asthma attacks than that of the control group at week 12 [0(0, 1), 0(0, 1), 0(0, 2), all P<0.05]. The well-controlled rate of asthma in the combination group was significantly higher than that of the control group and HQ group at week 8 and 12 (89.6% vs. 85.9% vs.82.1%, H=15.28; 90.9% vs. 84.1% vs. 81.8%, χ2=29.32, all P<0.01). Conclusions:HQ can significantly alleviate symptoms of asthma and rhinitis, severe attack of asthma, and increase the control rate of asthma when used as an additional treatment or used alone.

From February 1 to April 30, 2021, 48 general practice resident physicians in the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University were randomly divided into study group and control group with 24 in each group. The common comorbidities of the community-dwelling elderly, namely diabetes, diabetic retinopathy and osteoporosis were selected as teaching cases. The residents in control group received conventional teaching, while the scenario simulation teaching model of multicomorbity co-treatment was applied for the study group. The teaching effect, satisfaction and self-efficacy scores were compared between two groups. After training, the knowledge levels, the mastery of referral indicators and the performance of fundus ophthalmoscopy in the study group were significantly better than those in the control group ( t=2.27, 6.34, 4.09; P<0.05). They were (80.96±11.27) vs. (73.96±10.09), (10.33±2.41) vs. (6.38±1.88), (70.27±10.44) vs. (63.50±7.98), and students′ satisfaction and self-efficacy evaluation were higher than those of the observation group (all P<0.05). It is suggested that the simulation teaching of multi-disease co-treatment scenario is more beneficial than the traditional teaching to improve the comprehensive care ability of standardized training physicians in general practice for patients with chronic disease.

Objective:To investigate the expressions of apoptosis-related factors survivin, p53 and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer tissues and their prognostic value.Methods:A total of 131 patients undergoing radical mastectomy for breast cancer who were admitted to Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from February 2015 to January 2019 were selected as the research subjects. During the operation, the cancer tissues and adjacent tissues (normal tissues >3 cm from the tumor margin) were collected from the patients. Expressions of survivin, p53 and HER2 in cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of patients were detected by using immunohistochemistry. The prognoses of patients were recorded after the follow-up for 3 years; the recurrence, metastasis and death treated as the poor prognosis, the rest prognoses of patients were treated as the good prognosis group. The difference of clinicopathological characteristics between the poor prognosis group and the good prognosis group was compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors for prognosis of breast cancer patients. The result of prognosis of breast cancer was taken as the golden standard. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the value of survivin pasitive, p53 pasitive, HER2 pasitive alone, the combination of both and the combination of the there in the judgement of poor prognosis of breast cancer.Results:The positive expression rates of survivin [49.6% (65/131) vs. 7.6% (10/131)], p53 [60.3% (79/131) vs. 13.0% (17/131)] and HER2 [79.4% (104/131) vs. 16.8% (22/131)] in cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent tissues (all P<0.001). A total of 131 breast cancer patients were followed up for 3 years without any loss of follow-up, and the follow-up rate was 100%. Within the follow-up for 3 years, there were 15 (11.5%) cases of recurrence, 8 (6.1%) cases of metastasis, and 10 (7.6%) cases of death, the incidence of poor prognosis was 25.2% (33/131); and the remaining 98 cases had good prognosis. The proportions of patients with TNM stage Ⅲ, lymph node metastasis, poorly differentiated histology, tumor diameter ≥3 cm, survivin, p53, and HER2 positive expressions in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TNM stage Ⅲ [ OR = 5.323 (95% CI 2.190-12.936)], lymph node metastasis [ OR = 4.773 (95% CI 1.964-11.600)], tumor diameter ≥3 cm [ OR = 3.582(95% CI 1.474-8.706)], positive survivin [ OR = 2.740 (95% CI 1.127-6.659)], positive p53 [ OR = 3.271 (95% CI 1.346-7.949)], and positive HER2 [ OR = 3.873 (95% CI 1.594-9.412)] were independent risk factors for prognosis of breast cancer (all P<0.001). The ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) values of survivin positive, p53 positive,HER2 positive, and the combination of any two were more than 0.80 (all P<0.001); the AUC of the combination of the three was 0.944 (95% CI 0.890-0.977) ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The expressions of survivin, p53, and HER2 are highly expressed in breast cancer tissues. The expressions of the three can be used to judge the prognosis of breast cancer patients, and the combination of the three has a higher judgement value.

Objective:To summarize the surgical technique and clinical experience of robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (RN) + venous tumor thrombectomy (VTTE) approach for renal tumor with Mayo grade 0-Ⅲ tumor thrombus, and to discuss its safety and efficacy.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 26 patients with renal tumor associated with Mayo 0-Ⅲ thrombus admitted to Peking University Third Hospital from October 2020 to September 2021. There were 17 male cases and 9 female cases. The mean age was (56.9±13.9) years. The mean body mass index (BMI) was (25.8±3.5) kg/m 2. The renal tumors were located on the left side in 12 cases and on the right side in 14 cases, with a mean tumor diameter of (7.8±2.9) cm. The tumors were graded by Mayo: Mayo 0 in 10 cases, Mayo Ⅰ in 3 cases, Mayo Ⅱ in 11 cases and Mayo Ⅲ in 2 cases. The American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) graded 23 cases as grade 2 and 3 cases as grade 3. All 26 patients were treated by robotic-assisted laparoscopic approach with RN+ VTTE. Mayo 0 tumor thrombus was treated in the same way as radical nephrectomy. For Mayo Ⅰ tumor thrombus, the lateral wall of the IVC at the inferior vena cava (IVC) where the renal vein joins was clamped to partially block the IVC flow and then the thrombus was removed. For Mayo Ⅱ tumor thrombus, after blocking the flow in the IVC with three blocking bands, the wall of the IVC was dissected and the thrombus was removed. For Mayo Ⅲ tumor thrombus: cut the short hepatic vein, free the liver, expose the posterior IVC and follow the same procedure as for Mayo Ⅱ tumor thrombus. Results:All 26 patients in this group were successfully operated on, 1 of which was converted to open surgery. The median operative time was 148.5 (77.0-399.0) min, and the median intraoperative estimated bleeding volume was 300 (10-2000) ml. Postoperative pathological diagnosis: 18 cases of renal clear cell carcinoma, 2 cases of papillary renal cell carcinoma type Ⅱ, 2 cases of TEF gene fusion-related renal carcinoma, 1 case of unclassified renal cell carcinoma, 1 case of uroepithelial carcinoma and 2 cases of AML. In 2 of the 26 cases, segmental resection of the IVC was performed because the right renal VTT had extensively invaded the wall of the IVC. Due to the residual wall thrombus at the head of the tumour thrombus, 1 case underwent inferior vena cava dissection and the inferior vena cava was cut obliquely to preserve the left renal venous return. 6 patients underwent intraoperative lymph node dissection of the hilum, three of which had pathology suggestive of lymph node metastasis. 1 patient underwent adrenalectomy for tumor invasion of the ipsilateral adrenal gland. The median postoperative hospital stay was 7.2(4.0-22.0)d. According to the modified Clavien classification, there were 18 grade Ⅰ and 8 grade Ⅱ postoperative complications. 26 patients were followed up for 1-11 months, with a median follow-up time of 5.5 months. 3 cases developed distant metastases, including 1 case with tumour-specific death due to multiple metastases in the liver and retroperitoneum at 4 months of follow-up.Conclusions:Robotic-assisted laparoscopic RN+ VTTE is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of renal tumours with Mayo 0 to Ⅲ tumour thrombus, with the advantages of delicate operation, minimal trauma and low incidence of serious postoperative complications.
