Objective To establish in vitro the small intestinal organoid culture system and to investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)on the growth of small intestinal organoids and the secretion of inflammatory factors.Methods In vitro,the small intestinal crypt cell mass of C57BL/6 mice was aseptically isolated,collected and embedded in organoid matrix.Under the support of complete medium,the small intestinal organoids with three-dimensional multi-leaf structure with small intestinal epithelioid structure were formed.The small intestinal organoids were subcultured after 5-7 d culture.On the third day after passage,the small intestinal organoids were randomly divided into different mass concentrations of LPS groups(0,150,175,200,225,250,275 and 300 mg/L).After 24 h and 48 h of LPS induction,morphological changes of small intestinal organoid growth and differentiation were observed.CCK-8 method was used to detect the effect of different time points and mass concentrations of LPS on the proliferative activity of small intestinal organoids after induction of inflammation.The effects of four different mass concentrations of LPS(0,175,200 and 225 mg/L)on expression levels of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF),interleukin(IL)-1α,IL-6 and IL-10 in organoid culture supernatant at different times were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results The mouse small intestinal organoid culture system was preliminarily constructed.After different time and mass concentration of LPS induced inflammation of small intestinal organoids,it was observed by morphology that small intestinal organoids would have different degrees of expansion and apoptosis in lumen.The proliferation,differentiation and budding of damaged intestinal epithelial crypts or intestinal stem cells were also inhibited to varying degrees,indicating that the growth of small intestinal organoids would be limited to varying degrees after induced inflammation.The proliferation activity of small intestinal organoids decreased to varying degrees after 24 h and 48 h of LPS induction at 175-225 mg/L(P<0.05),but the cell viability was still greater than 50%.The levels of IL-1α,IL-6 and GM-CSF partially increased after induction with 200 mg/L and 225 mg/L LPS for 24 h and 48 h(P<0.05).The level of IL-10 decreased after induction with 200 mg/L LPS for 24 h and 48 h(P<0.05).Conclusion In this study,a model of intestinal inflammatory injury in vitro induced by LPS with different mass concentrations and time points is preliminarily constructed,which provides a more reliable research platform for the mechanism research of intestinal diseases and the screening of effective drugs in the future.

The theories of "absence of kidney excess syndrome" and "treating kidney disease only by the tonifying method without the purgative method" have been highly praised by medical practitioners throughout history. However,the syndrome of intermingled deficiency and excess of kidney in clinical practice is not uncommon,and there are many cases that treating kidney disease with the method of expelling kidney turbidity. However,its theoretical basis has not been systematically organized and studied. This article,based on the consideration of the "three purging" herbs of Liuwei Dihuang Pill,finds that "kidney" in traditional Chinese medicine not only stores essence,but also removes turbidity. From the theory of storage-expelling of five zang viscera,the physiological characteristic of kidney is integrated with storing and expelling functions. In addition to storing essence and qi to maintain normal life activities in the human body,it also exercises the function of excretion through the bladder and sanjiao. Under pathological conditions,both the function of storing essence and excretion of turbidity in kidney can be affected,which manifests as lack of essence and accumulation of turbidity. The pathological features of this disease are characterized by kidney qi deficiency as the root cause,accumulation of turbidity as the result,and intertwined with each other. Based on the physiology and pathology of visceral manifestation of kidney in traditional Chinese medicine,the theory of "retaining essence and removing turbidity" can be used in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease. When treating kidney disease,the method of invigorating the kidney can also be combined with the method of expelling kidney turbidity,such as promoting diuresis,dissipating phlegm,promoting blood circulation,or removing toxin. Flexible selection of the above treatment methods can improve the therapeutic effect.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.

Objective:To investigate the radiation dosimetry and biodistribution of 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT in patients with hepatobiliary tumor. Methods:A total of six patients with hepatic lesions who underwent PET/CT examination in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were enrolled. After intravenous injection of radiotracer 68Ga-FAPI-04 at (170.57 ± 14.43) MBq, whole-body imaging were performed at the time points of 3, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 min, respectively. Biodistribution pattern was observed. Regions of interest were manually delineated. Radiation dosimetry of all target organs were calculated by Olinda/EXM software. Results:The radioactive uptake dissipated gradually in liver whereas it was relatively stable in tumor lesions. The average SUV max of tumor lesions reached the maximum value (13.87± 2.55) at 20 min after injection. The target-to-background ratio increased with time, reaching the maximum value (10.09 ± 8.17) at 30 min after injection. The average effective dose in total body was (0.020 ± 0.002) mSv/MBq and organ with the highest effective dose was bladder wall at (0.146 ± 0.035) mSv/MBq. Conclusions:The effective dose in total body of 68Ga-FAPI-04 was similar to that of 18F-FDG. 68Ga-FAPI-04 is expected to be a PET/CT radiotracer for hepatobiliary tumors in consideration of rapid tumor uptake, low accumulation of liver background, and no influence of blood sugar levels.

Objective: To investigate the effect of nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutant A on TGF-β1-induced K562 cell proliferation and AKT phosphorylation. Methods: K562 cells were infected with Ad5-NPM1 to create an NPM1 over-expression cell model. NPM1 levels were determined by ELISA and Western blot analysis. The levels of AKT and P-AKT were determined by Western blot. MTT was used to measure the proliferation of K562 cells. Results: NPM1 protein levels in K562 cells increased in an Ad5-NPM1-MOI-dependent manner. Cell proliferation and NPM1 levels in the supernatant were significantly increased in K562 cells infected with Ad5-NPM1-30 and Ad5-NPM1-100 compared to those infected with Ad5-vector-100 (P<0.01). Treatment with (10 ng/mL) TGF-β1 increased P-AKT levels, but not total AKT levels in K562 cells. TGF-β1-induced phosphorylation of AKT was significantly increased by infection of K562 cells with Ad5-NPM1-100. No significant differences were found in total AKT levels among all groups. TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL) treatment also in-creased the proliferation of K562 cells. TGF-β1-induced K562 cell proliferation was significantly increased by infection with Ad5-NPM1-100 (P<0.01). Conclusions: NPM1 improves TGF-β1-induced cell proliferation by up-regulating AKT phosphorylation levels.

The lung is an important open organ and the primary site of respiration. Many life-threatening diseases develop in the lung, e.g., pneumonia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPDs), pulmonary fibrosis, and lung cancer. In the lung, innate immunity serves as the frontline in both anti-irritant response and anti-tumor defense and is also critical for mucosal homeostasis; thus, it plays an important role in containing these pulmonary diseases. Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), characterized by their strict tissue residence and distinct function in the mucosa, are attracting increased attention in innate immunity. Upon sensing the danger signals from damaged epithelium, ILCs activate, proliferate, and release numerous cytokines with specific local functions; they also participate in mucosal immune-surveillance, immune-regulation, and homeostasis. However, when their functions become uncontrolled, ILCs can enhance pathological states and induce diseases. In this review, we discuss the physiological and pathological functions of ILC subsets 1 to 3 in the lung, and how the pathogenic environment affects the function and plasticity of ILCs.
