Recommendations, consensus-based syntheses of the best available evidence, constitute the core content of a guideline. This paper analyzes the characteristics of emergency health systems guidance documents (HSGs), represented by the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) emergency HSG, regarding the item "recommendations" and its eight evaluation criteria in the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation for Health Systems (AGREE-HS). The World Health Organization (WHO) standard HSGs were used as reference to explore the characteristics of emergency HSGs that are different from non-emergency HSGs. The results showed that the “recommendations” scored second after “topic” among the five items. Criterion 7 relating to operability scored higher than others among the eight criteria, and criterion 3 dealing with ethical principles scored lower than other criteria. Compared with the standard HSGs, the emergency HSGs showed decreased scores (P<0.05) of the item recommendations and the criteria of this item except criterion 4 concerning equity promotion. Among the HSGs with different developers, those developed by the WHO had higher (P<0.05) scores of recommendations than nationally developed HSGs, as evidenced by criterion 4, criterion 5 involving acceptability to and alignment with sociocultural and political interests, and criterion 8 for updating plans. The HSGs regarding global or country strategy scored higher (P<0.05) on criterion 2 relating to comprehensiveness than those involving specific guidance on clinical or material issues. Overall, the emergency HSGs, represented by the COVID-19 emergency HSGs, differ from the standard HSGs in a number of ways in terms of their recommendations. Emergency HSGs have more condensed content and weaker articulation of expected outcomes. They incline to put more emphasis on updating plans, rather than comprehensiveness or integrative requirements in terms of ethics, equity, and sociocultural and political interests.

Objective To explore the differential expression of the key microfilament cytoskeleton-binding proteins in immature dendritic cells(imDCs)during antigen phagocytosis.Methods Monocytes(MOs)were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy individuals and cultured with recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor(rhGM-CSF)and recombinant human interleukin-4(rhIL-4)for 6 days to obtain imDCs.ImDCs were co-cultured with low molecular weight(40 kDa)and high molecular weight(150 kDa)dextrans for 1,3 and 6 hours,respectively.Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentage of imDCs phagocytosing dextran and the expression of immunophenotype molecules.The localization of filamentous actin(F-actin),PFN1,WASP,and α-actinin in cells were observed by immunofluorescence imaging.The differential expression of MCBPs at the mRNA and protein levels were respectively detected by q-PCR and Western blotting.Finally,the MCBPs with the highest component coefficients were identified based on the stepwise regression and principal component analysis method in systems biology algorithms.Results During the process of antigen phagocytosis,imDCs phagocytized low molecular weight antigens at a faster rate,with a phagocytic duration of approximately three hours.Their cell phenotypes and morphology gradually differentiated into mDCs,and F-actin remodeling was occurred significantly.The expression of MCBPs such as PFN1,CDM,WASP,CAPZB,Filamin A,α-actinin were downregulated,while the expression of WAVE1,Arp2/3 complex,and Fascin were upregulated.The mRNA expression of signaling protein Rac1 was upregulated,while the mRNA expressions of CDC42 and RhoA were downregulated.The immunofluorescence results showed that PFN1,WASP,and α-actinin were transposed during the antigen phagocytosis process of imDCs.The results of stepwise regression and principal component analysis showed that PFN1 had the highest component coefficient.Conclusions PFN1 may be a key MCBPs involved in the process of antigen phagocytosis of imDCs,which is of great significance for further understanding the relationship between changes in the cytoskeleton structure of imDCs and their immunological functions.

Abstract: Objective To construct HepG2, Huh7 cell lines stably express hepatitis B virus X (HBx) mutant (C1653T, T1753C), and explore their effect on the biological behavior of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Methods The lentivirus plasmid of pLVX-HBxC1653T-IRES-tdTomato, pLVX-HBxT1753C-IRES-tdTomato were obtained by PCR site mutagenesis according to wild type ayr HBx. Double enzyme digestion and Sanger sequencing were performed for accuracy of plasmid. Blank HepG2 and Huh7 cells were used as the control group, HepG2, Huh7 cells were infected by pLVX-HBx-IRES-tdTomato, pLVX-HBxC1653T-IRES-tdTomato, and pLVX-HBxT1753C-IRES-tdTomato lentivirus solution, then monoclonal cell was selected by 0.6 μg/mL puromycin. Immunostaining and Western Blot were performed for the verification of stable strains. CCK8 assay was performed for the proliferation capacity of stable strains. Western Blot was performed for expression of EMT-related signal molecules in cells. The independent samples t-test was used for comparison between two groups. Results Double enzyme digestion and Sanger sequencing showed that that the size of the cut fragments of recombinant lentiviral plasmids was correct, and the point mutation location and base substitution were correct, suggesting that the plasmid of pLVX-HBx-IRES-tdTomato, pLVX-HBxC1653T-IRES-tdTomato, pLVX-HBxT1753C-IRES-tdTomato were constructed successfully. Immunostaining and Western blot showed that HBX were expressed in stable strains, while there was no HBX expression in the blank control group, indicating that the HepG2 and Huh7 cell lines stably expressing HBx, HBxC1653T, HBxT1753C were successfully constructed. CCK8 assay showed that the proliferation capacity of HBx and mutant were enhanced compared to the control group (P<0.01), HBx C1653T displayed further additive the effect compared to HBx (P<0.05). Moreover, HBxC1653T mutation also significantly upregulated N-cadherin expression and downregulated E-cadherin expression, thus promoting the occurrence of EMT. Conclusions HepG2 and Huh7 cell lines stably expressing HBx, HBxC1653T, HBxT1753C were successfully constructed, HBxC1653T mutation significantly enhanced the proliferation of HCC cells and epithelial to mesenchymal transition occurrence.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of Xijiao Dihuang Ddecoction (XJDHT) against sepsis-induced liver injury based on transcriptomics.Methods:Sixty C57BL/6 mice were randomly (random number) divided into the sepsis group, sepsis treatment with XJDHT and control group, with 20 mice in each group. The sepsis mouse model was established by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The control group was intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of normal saline. The sepsis treatment with XJDHT group was injected with XJDHT (crude drug 187.5 mg) twice a day 2 days before modeling. After modeling, gastric feeding was continued twice a day, while the control group and sepsis group were gavaged with the same amount of normal saline. At 72 h after LPS intervention, 9 mice in each group were randomly selected. After anesthesia, part of the liver were taken for small RNA and RNA sequencing and analysis, and part of the liver were taken for pathological examination.Results:XJDHT could improve the histopathological changes of liver in septic mice, and alleviate some abnormally expressed microRNAs (mmu-mir-292a-5p, mmu-mir-871-3p, mmu-mir-653-5p, mmu-mir-293-5p, mmu-mir-155-3p, mmu-mir-346-5p, mmu-mir-187-5p, mmu-mir-3090-3p) and their target genes.Conclusions:XJDHT can reduce the liver histopathological changes in septic mice, and its mechanism may be related to XJDHT regulating the expression of important key genes of liver of sepsis like mmu-mir-187-5p and its target genes such as ADAM8, irak3 and PFKFB3

Ovulatory dysfunction refers to absent ovulation or luteal insufficiency. It is commonly seen in women with irregular menstruation or menstrual cycles, especially in those with oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea. Ovulatory dysfunction is considered the single-most frequent cause of female infertility. Clinically, the two major causes of ovulatory dysfunction are polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome (LUFS). Acupuncture-moxibustion improves ovulation and helps with infertility. Through a systematic review and analysis on relevant literatures in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture-moxibustion Databankover the last decade, this paper summarized the characteristics and pattern of acupuncture-moxibustion points for improving ovulation in order to provide an optimal acupuncture-moxibustion protocol in this regard.
