Threatened abortion is a common disease of obstetrics and gynecology and one of the diseases responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in TCM obstetrics and gynecology， Western medicine obstetrics and gynecology， and pharmacology to deeply discuss the advantages of TCM and integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment as well as the medication plans for threatened abortion. After discussion， the experts concluded that chromosome， endocrine， and immune abnormalities were the key factors for the occurrence of threatened abortion， and the Qi and blood disorders in thoroughfare and conception vessels were the core pathogenesis. In the treatment of threatened abortion， TCM has advantages in preventing miscarriages， alleviating clinical symptoms and TCM syndromes， relieving anxiety， regulating reproductive endocrine and immune abnormalities， personalized and diversified treatment， enhancing efficiency and reducing toxicity， and preventing the disease before occurrence. The difficulty in diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with traditional Chinese and Western medicine lies in identifying the predictors of abortion caused by maternal factors and the treatment of thrombophilia. Recurrent abortion is the breakthrough point of treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It is urgent to carry out high-quality evidence-based medicine research in the future to improve the modern diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with TCM.

Purpose To observation the relationship be-tween the β-catenin/Slug signal specific inhibitor FH535 and EMT,and to explore the role of LPCAT1 in regulating the inva-sion,metastasis,and growth of cervical cancer cells.Methods Hela cells were transfected with sh-NC and sh-LPCAT1,and SiHa cells were transfected with Vector group and LPCAT1 over-expression plasmid.SiHa cells were divided into control group(Con),LPCAT1 group,LPCAT1+FH535 group and FH535 group.The proliferation of cervical cancer cells was detected by CCK-8 analysis and colony formation test.The metastasis and invasion ability of cervical cancer cells were detected by wound healing test and Transwell test.Western blot was used to analyze the expression of LPCAT1,β-catenin/Slug signaling pathway and EMT-related proteins in cells.Results Compared with Vector group,the cell viability,colony number,migration and invasion number of SiHa cells in LPCAT1 group increased signif-icantly(P＜0.05).Compared with sh-NC group,the cell via-bility,colony number,migration and invasion number of Hela cells in sh-LPCAT1 group decreased significantly(P＜0.05).Compared with LPCAT1 group,the levels of Wnt4(1.18±0.05 vs 0.80±0.06),β-catenin(1.05±0.08 vs 0.77±0.05),Slug(1.13±0.06 vs 0.28±0.02),Cyclin D1(0.99±0.06 vs 0.44±0.02),N-cadherin(0.91±0.07 vs 0.46±0.03)and vimentin(0.95±0.06 vs 0.49±0.03)in SiHa cells in LPCAT1+FH535 group decreased significantly(P＜0.05),and the level of E-cadherin(0.44±0.03 vs 0.58±0.03)in-creased significantly(P＜0.05).In addition,compared with LPCAT1 group,the number of colonies(224±15 vs 146±11),migration(85±3vs51±4)and invasive(166±10 vs 90±5)cells of SiHa cells in LPCAT1+FH535 group decreased signifi-cantly(P＜0.05).Conclusion The increase of LPCAT1 ex-pression may promote the metastasis and progress of CC by acti-vating β-catenin/Slug signaling pathway,and LPCAT1 may be a potential marker for predicting CC metastasis.

BACKGROUND:Research has shown that fatty acid metabolism genes are closely related to the development of rheumatoid arthritis.Therefore,exploring the progression of rheumatoid arthritis based on fatty acid metabolism genes is of clinical significance. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether fatty acid metabolism genes can serve as reliable biomarkers for predicting the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS:Gene data related to synovial tissue were downloaded from the Gene Expression Comprehensive Database(GEO).STRING was used to construct the protein-protein interaction network analysis.Cytoscape was utilized for biological annotation(gene ontology)and signaling pathway enrichment analysis(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes).Fatty acid metabolism related genes were screened from the molecular feature database(MSigDB).Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and support vector machine recursive feature elimination feature were used to screen for potential biomarkers.Immune cell infiltration levels in normal individuals and rheumatoid arthritis patients were assessed using the CIBERSORT algorithm.Finally,the expression levels of fatty acid metabolism related genes were verified using the receiver operating characteristic curve in GSE77298. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:361 differentially expressed genes in rheumatoid arthritis were identified,of which 13 overlapped with the reported fatty acid metabolism related genes.Based on machine learning algorithms,five genes were selected,and the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that five genes(PCK1,PDK1,PTGS2,PLA2G2D,and DPEP2)could predict the development of rheumatoid arthritis.The CIBERSORT algorithm results showed that five genes were associated with activated mast cells,neutrophils,resting mast cells,and memory resting CD4+ T cells.The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that PLA2G2D and PCK1 have high diagnostic value.To conclude,the expression characteristics of fatty acid metabolism related genes can serve as potential biomarkers for predicting clinical outcomes,which can further improve the accuracy of prediction in RA patients.

Objective:To investigate whether long non-coding RNA(lncRNA) AW112010 can improve insulin resistance in aging adipocytes through the miR-204/POU2F2 signaling pathway.Methods:In vivo experiment: C57BL/6 mice were divided into young control group(4 months old) and aging model group(18 months old) based on body weight. The expression levels of AW112010, miR-204-5p, POU2F2, aging related indicators(p16, p21), and insulin signaling pathway genes [insulin receptor(INSR), insulin receptor substrate 1(IRS1), phosphatidylinositol kinase(PI3K), protein kinase B(AKT)] in epididymal adipose tissue were detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR) and Western blotting. In vitro experiment: Using adriamycin(ADR) to induce 3T3-L1 aging adipocyte model, β-gal staining was used to observe cellular senescence, and miR-204 inhibitor and miR-204 mimic small interfering RNA were successfully constructed and transfected into 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Results:RT-qPCR and Western blot results showed that compared with the young group, the expression of AW112010 in the adipose tissue of aging mice was increased, while the expression of miR-204-5p was decreased. The expressions of POU2F2, p16, and p21 in the adipose tissue of aging mice were increased, while the expressions of INSR, IRS1, PI3K, GLUT4 mRNA and protein were decreased. The β-gal stainging results showed that the number of 3T3-L1 senescent adipocytes induced by ADR was significantly increased, and the expression levels of AW112010, POU2F2, p16, and p21 in ADR-induced senescent adipocytes were increased compared with the control group, while the expression levels of miR-204-5p, INSR, IRS1, PI3K, GLUT4 were decreased, and remaining glucose in the culture medium was increased. Compared with control, overexpression of miR-204 resulted in decreased expressions of aging indicators p16, p21, and target gene POU2F2 while the expressions of INSR and GLUT4 were increased.Conclusion:Upregulation of lncRNA AW112010 in adipocytes of aging mice may induce insulin resistance by targeting miR-204-5p/POU2F2/IRS1.

Objective To investigate the effects of Aikeqing(AKQ),a compound of Chinese medicine,on drug-metabolizing activity and on the pharmacokinetic parameters of HIV-1 protease inhibitors lopinavir(LPV)and ritonavir(RTV)in Kaletra tablets.Methods Human liver microsomes were co-incubated with mixed probes and AKQ.HPLC-MS was employed to measure the content of probe.Half-inhibitory concentration(IC50)of AKQ on different subtypes of cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in drug metabolism of liver microsomes was calculated.The P450 subtype,whose activity was significantly inhibited by AKQ was then identified.HPLC-MS analytical method for simultaneous determination of LPV and RTV in rat plasma was established.SD rats were orally given AKQ or vehicle once a day for 7 consecutive days.After half an hour of the last gavage of AKQ,the rats were given Kaletra by intragastric administration.Then,the blood concentration of LPV and RTV were measured and the effect of AKQ on pharmacokinetic parameters of LPV and RTV were analyzed.Results The methanol extract of AKQ at the concentrations of 0～500 μg·mL-1 showed inhibitory effects on the metabolic activity of CYP2D6,CYP2C8、CYP2E1,CYP2C19,CYP1A2,CYP2B6,CYP2C9 and CYP3A4,with IC50 values of 7.7,75.3,144.0,99.5,43.5,104.5,49.3 and 204.9 μg·mL-1,respectively.An HPLC-MS/MS method was established for simultaneous quantification of LPV and RTV in blood samples.LPV and RTV showed linear relationships in the ranges of 30～10 000 ng·mL-1 and 3～1 000 ng·mL-1,respectively.The lowest limits of quantification were 30 ng·mL-1 and 3 ng·mL-1.Intra-day and inter-day precision were all less than 5%,and the accuracy of LPV and RTV was in the range of 96.3%～109%.The extraction recovery rates were not less than 88.7%,the matrix effects were 93.8%～105.0%,and the plasma samples were stable.Compared with Kaletra group,there was no significant changes in non-compartmental model parameters including AUC0-t,AUC0-∞,MRT0-t,t1/2z,tmax,Vz/F,Clz/F and Cmax of LPV in AKQ+Kaletra group(P＞0.05).But MRT0-∞ was found to be obviously affected by AKQ(P＜0.05).All pharmacokinetic parameters of RTV showed no significant change in AKQ+Kaletra group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Aikeqing exhibited varying degrees of inhibitory effects on 8 human drug-metabolizing cytochromes P450,especially CYP2D6.A human-equivalent dose of Aikeqing does not affect the pharmacokinetic parameters of lopinavir and ritonavir in rats.

BackgroundSibling relationships play a critical role in shaping anxiety symptoms in firstborn children. Anxiety symptoms often originate in early childhood and can persist into adolescence and adulthood. However， there is insufficient research on anxiety symptoms in preschool children， especially firstborn preschool children. ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors of anxiety symptoms among firstborn preschool children， so as to provide references for the intervention of anxiety symptom for children in families with multiple children. MethodsFrom October to December 2021， a total of 8 449 children from 234 kindergartens in Longhua District of Shenzhen were included using a cluster sampling method. Sibling Inventory of Behavior （SIB） and Spence Preschool Anxiety Scale （SPAS） were used to investigate. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify influencing factors of anxiety symptoms in firstborn preschool children. ResultsA total of 8 419 （99.64%） valid questionnaires were collected. Anxiety symptoms were detected in 344（4.09%） firstborn preschool children. Statistically significant differences were observed between anxiety group and non-anxiety group in terms of household registration， monthly family income， maternal age， maternal education level， paternal education level， family living conditions and whether they are left-behind children （χ²/t=9.906， 33.490， 5.136， 13.485， 9.690， 17.332， 21.975， P<0.05 or 0.01）. Compared with non-anxiety group， children in the anxiety group scored higher on the SIB dimensions of rivalry， aggression and avoidance （t=165.322， 74.471， 286.419， P<0.01）， and lower on companionship， empathy and teaching （t=59.133， 42.417， 39.112， P<0.01）. Risk factors for anxiety symptoms in firstborn preschool children included left-behind children， as well as negative sibling relationships characterized by rivalry and avoidance （OR=1.195， 1.143， 1.260， P<0.05 or 0.01）. ConclusionFirstborn preschool children who are left-behind are more susceptible to anxiety symptoms. Negative sibling relationships， characterized by competition and avoidance， may also contribute to the emergence of anxiety symptoms in firstborn preschool children.
