		                        			OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of Xiaoqinglong decoction on airway inflammation in asthma with syndrome of cold retention accumulation in lung based on the metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1). METHODS Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, dexamethasone group (positive control, 1 mg/kg), and Xiaoqinglong decoction group (2.72 g/kg), with 10 rats in each group. A rat model of asthma with syndrome of cold retention accumulation in lung was established, and the corresponding drugs were administered once daily starting from the second day of modeling for 21 consecutive days. Lung histopathological changes and lung function were evaluated. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), interferron-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and interleukin-13 (IL-13) in serum were measured, and the mRNA expression levels of MALAT1, TNF- α, IL-13, IFN- γ, and transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) in lung tissue were determined. Twenty C57BL/6J wild-type mice and twenty C57BL/6J MALAT1(-/-)mice were randomly divided into wild-type model group, wild-type Xiaoqinglong decoction group, MALAT1 model group, and MALAT1(-/-) Xiaoqinglong decoction group, with 10 mice in each group. The same asthma model was E-mail:yan_peizheng@163.com established, and Xiaoqinglong decoction was administered once daily for 21 days starting from the second day of modeling. The serum levels of SOD, MDA, IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-13 were measured, along with the mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPM2 in lung tissue. RESULTS The results of the rat experiment showed that, compared with model group, the airway resistance, functional residual capacity, the serum levels of IL- 13, TNF-α and MDA as well as inflammatory infiltration and collagen fiber deposition in lung tissue, and the expressions of IL- 13, TNF-α and TRPM2 in lung tissue were all significantly decreased in the treatment group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The peak expiratory flow, forced expiratory flow at 50% of forced vital capacity, the serum levels of SOD and IFN-γ, and the expression levels of IFN-γ and MALAT1 in lung tissue were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The results of the mice experiment demonstrated that, compared with the wild-type model group, serum levels of IL-13, TNF-α and MDA in wild-type xiaoqinglong decoction group were significantly reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while serum IFN-γ levels and SOD activity were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the wild-type Xiaoqinglong decoction group, the MALAT1(-/-) Xiaoqinglong decoction group showed significantly decreased serum IFN-γ levels and SOD activity (P<0.01), along with significantly increased levels of IL-13, TNF-α and MDA (P<0.05 or P<0.01), as well as significantly elevated TRPM2 mRNA and protein expression in lung tissue (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Xiaoqinglong decoction may alleviate airway inflammation by regulating the expression of MALAT1, modulating oxidative stress, inhibiting TRPM2 activation, and reducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

		                        			Objective: To explore the role and mechanism of epiregulin (EREG) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC),and to find biomarkers and therapeutic targets for ccRCC. Methods: Based on the data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases,the correlation between the expression level of EREG in ccRCC tissues and the clinical staging and survival of ccRCC patients was analyzed. The samples of 6 ccRCC cases treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University were collected. The expression of EREG was confirmed with immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR). The effects of EREG overexpression on the proliferation,cell cycle and apoptosis of ACHN cells were verified with CCK-8 and flow cytometry. Finally,the expressions of EREG,epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the downstream pathway proteins were detected with Western blotting. Results: Based on the databases,it was found that the expression of EREG in ccRCC samples was higher than that in adjacent tissues,and there was a positive correlation with the clinical stage. Survival analysis showed that high expression of EREG was a risk factor affecting the prognosis. The results of immunohistochemical staining and qPCR revealed that EREG was highly expressed in ccRCC. Flow cytometry showed that EREG overexpression promoted the proliferation of ACHN cells,enhanced cell cycle,and inhibited apoptosis. In addition,Western blotting suggested that EREG promoted the expressions of EREG,EGFR and the downstream proteins. Conclusion: The expression of EREG is associated with the prognosis of ccRCC patients. In vitro cell experiments have shown that it can promote the proliferation of ccRCC cells and inhibit their apoptosis,thereby leading to the progression of ccRCC. It can serve as a potential biomarker for prognosis prediction and a drug development target for ccRCC patients.

		                        			OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Ephedra-Cinnamomum couplet medicinals on respiratory function and airway inflammation in rats with asthma of cold-fluid retention in lung syndrome and its mechanism. METHODS Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, dexamethasone group [1 mg/(kg·d)], and Ephedra-Cinnamomum low-, medium-, high-dose groups [0.234, 0.936, 1.872 g/(kg·d)], with 10 rats in each group. The model and treatment groups were sensitized by intraperitoneal injection of antigen solution (ovalbumin 100 mg + aluminum hydroxide 100 mg) and challenged with 1% ovalbumin nebulization, along with exposure to a cold environment and ingestion of cold water, to establish the asthma model with cold-fluid retention in lung syndrome. From day 2, rats received corresponding drugs or normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for 21 consecutive days. The general behavioral changes in each group of rats were observed during the experimental process. The lung function parameters [peak expiratory flow (PEF), airway resistance (Raw), functional residual capacity (FRC), expiratory flow at 50% of forced vital capacity (EF50%)] Δ 基金项目 国家自然科学基金青年科学基金项目(No.82004233); were measured before modeling and after the last medication as well as serum contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-13, tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF- α) and interferon-gamma (IFN- γ) after the last medication were determined; the histopathological morphological changes in the lung tissues of rats were also observed; mRNA expressions of IL-6, IL-3, TNF-α, IFN-γ, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), as well as protein expressions of TSLP and TLR4 were determined in lung tissue. RESULTS Compared with model group, the lung tissue damage of rats was relieved significantly; Raw, FRC, the contents and mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL-13 and TNF-α, as well as the mRNA and protein expressions of TSLP and TLR4 were significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the contents and mRNA expressions of PEF, EF50 % and IFN-γ were significantly increased in the dexamethasone group and Ephedra-Cinnamomum medium- and high-dose groups (P<0.05). Moreover, only a few rats in the two groups exhibited typical symptoms of asthma. CONCLUSIONS Ephedra-Cinnamomum couplet medicinals improve respiratory function and ameliorate airway inflammation in asthma rats with cold-fluid retention in lung syndrome, the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting TSLP/TLR4 signaling pathway and modulating Th1/Th2 imbalance.

		                        			Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of valve surgeries for infective endocarditis and the affecting factors, and compare the early- and long-term postoperative outcomes of different surgery approaches. Methods The patients with infective endocarditis who underwent valve replacement/valvuloplasty in our hospital from 2010 to 2022 were retrospectively collected. The clinical data of the patients were analyzed. Results A total of 343 patients were enrolled, including 197 patients with mechanical valve replacement, 62 patients with bioprosthetic valve replacement, and 84 patients with valvuloplasty. There were 238 males and 105 females with an average age of (44.2±14.8) years. Single-valve endocarditis was present in 200 (58.3%) patients, and multivalve involvement was present in 143 (41.7%) patients. Sixty (17.5%) patients had suffered thrombosis before surgery, including cerebral embolisms in 32 patients. The mean follow-up time was (60.6±43.8) months. Early mortality within one month after the surgery occurred in 17 (5.0%) patients, while later mortality occurred in 19 (5.5%) patients. Eight (2.3%) patients underwent postoperative dialysis, 13 (3.8%) patients suffered postoperative stroke, 6 patients underwent reoperation, and 3 patients suffered recurrence of infective endocarditis. Smoking (P=0.002), preoperative embolisms (P=0.001), duration of surgery (P=0.001), and postoperative dialysis (P=0.001) were risk factors for early mortality, and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥60% (P=0.022) was protective factor for early mortality. New York Heart Association classification Ⅲ-Ⅳ (P=0.010) and ≥3 valve procedures (P=0.028) were risk factors for late mortality. The rate of composite endpoint events was significantly lower in the valvuloplasty group than that in the valve replacement group. Conclusion For patients with infective endocarditis, smoking and preoperative embolisms are associated with high postoperative mortality, multiple-valve surgery is associated with a poorer prognosis, and valvuloplasty has advantages over valve replacement and should be attempted in the surgical management of patients with infective endocarditis.

		                        			ObjectiveTo study the effect and mechanism of Shentong Zhuyutang in treating intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) in rats. MethodsIn the cell experiment, male rats were administrated with normal saline or low-, medium-, and high-dose (3.38, 6.75,13.5 g·kg-1, respectively) Shentong Zhuyutang by gavage, respectively, and serum samples were collected after 7 days of continuous administration. Another 10 male rats were selected for the isolation of nucleus pulposus cells. The cell model of IDD was established by treatment with interleukin (IL)-1β. The modeled cells were then treated with Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum and the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), respectively, to investigate the effects of Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum on the proliferation and ferroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells. To study the role of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in the regulation of ferroptosis in nucleus pulposus cells by Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum, this study treated the cells with the SIRT1 inhibitor Ex 527 and the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385, respectively, in addition to the treatment with IL-1β and high-dose Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum. The cell-counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and EdU staining were employed to measure the cell viability and proliferation, respectively. The Fe2+, glutathione (GSH), and malondiadehyde (MDA) levels were measured by colorimetric assay. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family 4 (ACSL4), Collagen Ⅱ, Aggrecan, SIRT1, and Nrf2. Immunofluorescence was used detect SIRT1 expression. In the animal experiment, male rats were treated with anulus puncture for the modeling of IDD. Rats were randomly assigned into sham operation, model, Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum (13.5 g·kg-1), and positive control (nimesulide dispersible tablets, 0.18 mg·kg-1) groups. Rats in the drug intervention groups were administrated with corresponding agents at 1 mL·kg-1, and those in the sham operation and model groups were administrated with equal volumes of normal saline, once daily for 28 consecutive days. At the end of the last administration, the histopathological changes in the intervertebral discs of rats were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and scored by the Masuda method. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of SIRT1, Nrf2, GPX4, and Collagen Ⅱ in the nucleus pulposus tissue. ResultsCompared with the control group, the IL-1β group of nucleus pulposus cells showed elevated levels of Fe2+, MDA, and ACSL4 (P<0.05), decreased cell viability, lowered GSH level, and down-regulated protein levels of GPX4, Collagen Ⅱ, and Aggrecan (P<0.05). Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum and Fer-1 reversed the effects of IL-1β on the viability and ferroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells and up-regulated the protein levels of Collagen Ⅱ and Aggrecan in nucleus pulposus cells (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the IL-1β group showcased down-regulated expression of Sirt1 and Nrf2 in nucleus pulposus cells (P<0.05). Compared with the IL-1β group, the high-dose Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum+IL-1β group showed up-regulated expression of SIRT1 and Nrf2 in nucleus pulposus cells (P<0.05). Compared with the high-dose Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum+IL-1β group, the ML385 group showed down-regulated protein levels of Nrf2 and GPX4, lowered GSH level, and elevated Fe2+ and MDA levels (P<0.05). In addition, the Ex 527 group showed down-regulated protein levels of SIRT1, Nrf2, and GPX4 (P<0.05). The results of the animal experiment showed that compared with the sham operation group, the model group had severe degeneration of the intervertebral disc tissue with increased pathological score, up-regulated protein level of ACSL4 (P<0.05), and down-regulated protein levels of SIRT1, Nrf2, GPX4, and Collagen Ⅱ (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the Shentong Zhuyutang group showed alleviated IDD with declined pathological score, down-regulated protein level of ACSL4 (P<0.05), and up-regulated protein levels of SIRT1, Nrf2, GPX4, and Collagen Ⅱ (P<0.05). ConclusionShentong Zhuyutang may activate the SIRT1/Nrf2 signaling pathway to inhibit the ferroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells, thereby delaying the process of IDD in rats.

		                        			[Objective] To analyze the prognostic value of prostate cancer (PCa) pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) using gene expression databases and to explore the regulatory mechanism of nucleotidebinding oligomerization domain-like receptor containing pyrin domain 1 (NLRP1) in the pyroptosis of PCa cells. [Methods] Fragments per kilobase of exon model per million reads mapped (FPKM) data and clinical information from PCa and adjacent tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were obtained. Differentially expressed PRGs between PCa and adjacent tissues, classified subtypes and plotted survival curves were analyzed. Univariate Cox regression analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis were conducted to screen prognosis-related PRGs, risk scores were calculated, and a prognostic risk model was constructed and validated. Patients were divided into high and low risk groups based on the median risk scores from the training and validation sets, and gene ontology (GO) enrichment and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analysis were conducted on differentially expressed PRGs. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression level of NLRP1 in PCa cell lines, and pyroptosis was induced in DU145 and LNCaP cells while morphological changes were observed. Western blot (WB) was performed to detect the expression of pyroptosis-related molecules. [Results] A total of 6 prognostic-related PRGs were obtained, including CHMP4C, CYCS, GPX4, GSDMB, NLRP1, and PLCG1. The risk score was positively correlated with the risk of recurrence but negatively correlated with the progression-free survival (P<0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) for the training set at 1, 3, and 5 years were 0.769 (95%CI: 0.652-0.878), 0.804 (95%CI: 0.736-0.882), and 0.772 (95%CI: 0.631-0.905), respectively, while those for the validation set were 0.731 (95%CI: 0.647-0.826), 0.753 (95%CI: 0.674-0.818), and 0.763 (95%CI: 0.626-0.849), respectively. Differences in expression levels of the 6 PRGs were observed between the high and low risk groups in both the training and validation sets (P<0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that T stage, prostate specific antigen (PSA), Gleason grade, and risk score were independent predictors of PCa prognosis (P<0.05). Differences in risk scores were observed among patients of different ages, T stages, and Gleason grades (P<0.05). NLRP1 was found to be lowly expressed in PCa cell lines and was involved in the regulation of pyroptosis in DU145 and LNCaP cells. [Conclusion] The prognostic risk model constructed based on PRGs has a certain predictability for the prognosis of PCa patients, and NLRP1 may be involved in the regulation of pyroptosis in PCa cells.

		                        			OBJECTIVE To establish the ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) fingerprint of Jingtian granule, and to evaluate its quality by chemical pattern recognition. METHODS Luna® Omega Polar C18 column (150 mm×2.1 mm, 1.6 μm) was used as the chromatographic column, and acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid solution was used as the mobile phase for gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.2 mL/min, the column temperature was 30 ℃, and the detection wavelength was 265 nm. With peak 16 as the reference peak, the UPLC fingerprint of Jingtian granule was established by the Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2012 edition). The common peaks were identified, the similarity evaluation was carried out, and the ownership of each common peak was confirmed. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) in chemical pattern recognition methods were used to classify 13 batches of samples (S1- S13), and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) was used to identify the key components of the differences between different batches of samples. RESULTS RSDs of precision, repeatability and stability of the UPLC method were not more than 4.4%. A total of 25 common peaks were identified in the fingerprints of 13 batches of Jingtian granules. By comparing with the reference substance fingerprint, 10 common peaks were identified, namely peak 3 (hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde), peak 5 (salidroside), peak 8(chlorogenic acid), peak 15 (cinnamic acid), peak 19 (aloe-emodin), peak 20 (ammonium glycyrrhizinate), peak 21 (rhein), peak 23 (emodin), peak 24 (glycyrrhetinic acid), peak 25 (chrysophanol). The similarities of fingerprints of 13 batches of samples were 0.955-0.996. The results of HCA showed that 13 batches of samples could be divided into three categories, among which samples S1, S5, S7, S11-S13 were clustered in one category, S4 and S6 were clustered in one category, S2, S3 and S8-S10 were clustered in one category. PCA results showed that the cumulative variance contribution rate of principal components 1-7 was 92.666%. OPLS-DA further identified 13 differential components, which were mainly derived from Polygonati Rhizoma with wine steaming, Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix Et Rhizoma, prepared Rhei Radix Et Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizome Praeparata Cum Melle. CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC fingerprint of Jingtian granule is simple, stable and reproducible. Combined with the chemical pattern recognition method, it can effectively reveal the overall quality difference between different batches of Jingtian granule. The quality of Polygonati Rhizoma with wine steaming, Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix Et Rhizoma, prepared Rhei Radix Et Rhizoma, Dioscoreae Nipponicae Rhizoma, Polyporus, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizome Praeparata Cum Melle is the key to the overall quality of Jingtian granule.

		                        			Objective:
		                        			To investigate the incidence and trends of liver, lung, breast, colorectal and gastric cancers in Nanning City from 2018 to 2022.
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			Data of new cases of liver, lung, breast, colorectal and gastric cancers in Nanning City from 2018 to 2022 were collected through the big data platform of the Nanning Health Propaganda and Information Center's Hospitalization System. The incidence rates were calculated and standardized using the data of the seventh national population census in 2020. The age, gender, and urban-rural distribution of the five malignant tumor cases were descriptively analyzed. The trends in incidence of the five malignant tumors were analyzed using annual percent change (APC).
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			From 2018 to 2022, the crude and standardized incidence rates of liver cancer in Nanning City were 24.46/105 and 26.39/105, respectively, showing upward trends (APC=15.122% and 13.111%, both P<0.05). The crude and standardized incidence rates of lung cancer were 23.42/105 and 25.83/105, respectively, showing upward trends (APC=13.714% and 10.056%, both P<0.05). The crude and standardized incidence rates of breast cancer were 19.13/105 and 20.29/105, respectively, with no significant trends (APC=-5.129% and -5.164%, both P>0.05). The crude incidence rate of colorectal cancer was 18.81/105, showing an upward trend (APC=8.164%, P<0.05), while the standardized incidence rate was 20.64/105, with no significant trend (APC=5.044%, P>0.05). The crude incidence rate of gastric cancer was 7.27/105, showing an upward trend (APC=5.984%, P<0.05), while the standardized incidence rate was 7.98/105, with no significant trend (APC=3.304%, P>0.05). The age of onset peak for liver cancer was 65 to <70 years, for lung cancer was 75 to <80 years, for breast cancer was 55 to <60 years, for colorectal cancer was 80 to <85 years, and for gastric cancer was 75 to <80 years. The standardized incidence rates of liver, lung, colorectal and gastric cancers were higher in males than in females (all P<0.05). The standardized incidence rates of liver, lung and gastric cancers were higher in rural areas than in urban areas, while the standardized incidence rates of breast and colorectal cancers were lower in rural areas (all P<0.05).
		                        		
		                        			Conclusions
		                        			The incidence rates of liver, lung, colorectal and gastric cancers in Nanning City showed upward trends from 2018 to 2022, while the incidence rate of breast cancer remained stable. The standardized incidence rates of liver, lung, colorectal and gastric cancers were higher in males, and the standardized incidences of liver, lung and gastric cancers were higher in rural areas.
