Based on the strategy of metabolomics combined with bioinformatics, this study analyzed the potential allergens and mechanism of pseudo-allergic reactions (PARs) induced by the combined use of Reduning injection and penicillin G injection. All animal experiments and welfare are in accordance with the requirements of the First Affiliated Experimental Animal Ethics and Animal Welfare Committee of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (approval number: YFYDW2020002). Based on UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology combined with UNIFI software, a total of 21 compounds were identified in Reduning and penicillin G mixed injection. Based on molecular docking technology, 10 potential allergens with strong binding activity to MrgprX2 agonist sites were further screened. Metabolomics analysis using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology revealed that 34 differential metabolites such as arachidonic acid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes were endogenous differential metabolites of PARs caused by combined use of Reduning injection and penicillin G injection. Through the analysis of the "potential allergen-target-endogenous differential metabolite" interaction network, the chlorogenic acids (such as chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, and isochlorogenic acid A) and β-lactam allergens in the combination of the two may be mainly regulated by PLD1, PLA2G12A and CYP1A1. The three upstream signal target proteins mainly activate the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway, promote the degranulation of mast cells, release downstream endogenous inflammatory mediators, and induce PARs.

Objective To summarize the epidemiological and clinical features of infectious diseases of the central nervous system(CNS)by a single-center analysis.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 1247 cases of CNS infectious diseases diagnosed and treated in the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from 2001 to 2020.Results The data for this group of CNS infectious diseases by disease type in descending order of number of cases were viruses 743(59.6％),Mycobacterium tuberculosis 249(20.0％),other bacteria 150(12.0％),fungi 68(5.5％),parasites 18(1.4％),Treponema pallidum 18(1.4％)and rickettsia 1(0.1％).The number of cases increased by 177 cases(33.1％)in the latter 10 years compared to the previous 10 years(P<0.05).No significant difference in seasonal distribution pattern of data between disease types(P>0.05).Male to female ratio is 1.87︰1,mostly under 60 years of age.Viruses are more likely to infect students,most often at university/college level and above,farmers are overrepresented among bacteria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis,and more infections of Treponema pallidum in workers.CNS infectious diseases are characterized by fever,headache and signs of meningeal irritation,with the adductor nerve being the more commonly involved cranial nerve.Matagenomic next-generation sequencing improves clinical diagnostic capabilities.The median hospital days for CNS infectious diseases are 18.00(11.00,27.00)and median hospital costs are ￥29,500(￥16,000,￥59,200).The mortality rate from CNS infectious diseases is 1.6％.Conclusions The incidence of CNS infectious diseases is increasing last ten years,with complex clinical presentation,severe symptoms and poor prognosis.Early and accurate diagnosis and standardized clinical treatment can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality rate and ease the burden of disease.

Corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19)epidemic has been effectively controlled,but its related complications still cannot be ignored,especially the cardiovascular circulatory system is the active site of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2).Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2)is a type Ⅰ transmembrane glycoprotein that is highly expressed in heart,kidney and testis.Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 invades host cells by binding to the cell surface receptor ACE2.However,there are still many deficiencies in the clinical application of vaccines and drugs developed based on this target.As a molecular chaperone,cyclophilin A(CypA)promotes protein folding and T cell activation.CD147 is one of the most widely studied CypA receptors,and the interaction of CypA/CD147 plays an important role in the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells.However,there are few reports on the invasion of SARS-CoV-2 into the cardiovascular system through the CypA/CD147 signaling pathway.Based on this,this article summarizes the previous research evidence and the research basis of the research group,and reviews the structure and function of CypA/CD147,the role of CypA/CD147 in cardiovascular disease,and the cardiovascular disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 targeting CypA/CD147 signal pathway,in order to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of the COVID-19 complicated with cardiovascular system diseases.

Objective To report a case of synovial sarcoma of the liver and review the literature for improving the understanding of the disease.Methods The clinical data of a patient with liver synovial sarcoma admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University were analyzed retrospectively.The imaging,pathological features,treatment and prognosis of this disease were summarized by searching the database(CNKI,Wanfang Data,PubMed,untill July 2022)and the literature results analyzed comprehensively.Results The patient was a 71-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital due to abdominal pain.Computed tomography(CT)scan showed a mass with mixed density in the right lobe and caudate lobe of the liver.The large cross section size was about 115 mm×87 mm and the mass showed continuous heterogeneous enhancement,being considered as malignant hepatic tumors with multiple metastasis of the liver and lung.Ultrasound-guided needle biopsy was performed,and microscopy showed the tumor cells were obvious atypical,and some were spindle-shaped.Immunohistochemistry showed that the patient was positive for vimentin(VIM),epithelial membrane antigen(EMA),methylation of histone at lysine 27(H3K27Me3),and negative for pan cytokeratin(CK-pan)and S-100,and pathological diagnosis of synovial sarcoma was made.The patient did not undergo subsequent treatment and was lost to follow-up after discharge.A total of 12 cases of hepatic synovial sarcoma were reported after searching the database.The clinical manifestations were abdominal pain or distention.The lesions were mostly located in the right lobe of the liver,usually large,heterogeneous density,and heterogeneous enhancement on enhanced CT or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).Spindle-shaped cells were found at histopathologic examination.Immunohistochemistry showed the patient was positive for VIM,EMA,H3K27Me,B-cell leukemia/lymphoma-2(BCL-2)and transducer-like enhancer of split 1(TLE1).SS18-SSX fusion gene or SS18 gene isolation were detected.Eleven patients received surgical treatment,5 received adjuvant chemotherapy,and 4 had recurrence or metastasis during the follow-up period.Conclusions Synovial sarcoma of the liver is a rare malignant tumor of the liver.The clinical and imaging features are not specific.The diagnosis depends on pathology.At present,the main treatment is surgery,and comprehensive treatment such as adjuvant chemotherapy can be performed.The prognosis of the patient is poor.

Objective To investigate the biological function and main molecular mechanism of long noncoding RNA RMRP(lncRNA RMRP)in endometrial carcinoma.Methods The specimens of carcinoma tissues and adjacent tissues of 30 patients with endometrial carcinoma who received surgical treatment in our hospital were collected.RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA RMRP in endometrial carcinoma tissues and adjacent tissues,and HESC cells and HEC-1-A cells.The endometrial carcinoma cell line HEC-1-A was cultured in vitro,and the Vector,pcDNA-RMRP,NC-siRNA,RMRP-siRNA,NC mimic,miR-580-3p mimic,pcDNA-RMRP+NC mimic,pcDNA-RMRP+ miR-580-3p mimic,RMRP-siRNA+Vector,RMRP-siRNA+pcDNA-JAK2,NC inhibitor,and miR-580-3p inhibitor were transfected into HEC-1-A cells as the Vector group,the pcDNA-RMRP group,the NC-siRNA group,the RMRP-siRNA group,the NC mimic group,the miR-580-3p mimic group,the pcDNA-RMRP+NC mimic group,the pcDNA-RMRP+miR-580-3p mimic group,the RMRP siRNA+Vector group,the RMRP-siRNA+pcDNA-JAK2 group,the NC inhibitor group,and the miR-580-3p inhibitor group respectively.RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA RMRP and miR-580-3p in cells.CCK-8 was used to detect cell proliferation rate.The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry analysis.Bioinformatics software and dual luciferase reporter gene experiment were used to predict and verify the targeted relationships between miR-580-3p and lncRNA RMRP,as well as miR-580-3p and JAK2.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of JAK/STAT signaling pathway.Results Compared with adjacent tissues,lncRNA RMRP was highly expressed in endometrial carcinoma tissues(P<0.05).Compared with HESC cells,the expression of lncRNA RMRP in HEC-1-A cells was significantly increased(P<0.05).pcDNA-RMRP significantly promoted cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis,while RMRP-siRNA significantly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis,with statistically significant diferences(P<0.05).miR-580-3p was the downstream target miRNA of lncRNA RMRP,and lncRNA RMRP could negatively regulate the expression of miR-580-3p.JAK2 was the downstream target gene of miR-580-3p,and miR-580-3p could negatively regulate the expression of JAK2 protein.pcDNA-RMRP significantly increased the protein levels of JAK2,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 in the cells,while co-transfection of pcDNA-RMRP and miR-580-3p mimic significantly decreased the protein levels of JAK2,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3,with statistically significant diferences(P<0.05).RMRP-siRNA could signifi-cantly reduce the protein levels of JAK2,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 in cells.After co-transfection of RMRP-siRNA and pcDNA-JAK2,the protein levels of JAK2,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly increased,with statistically significant diferences(P<0.05).In addition,co-transfection of RMRP-siRNA and pcDNA-JAK2 increased cell proliferation and decreased cell apoptosis,with statistically significant diferences(P<0.05).Conclusion Knockdown of lncRNA RMRP could inhibit endometrial carcinoma cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis by regulating JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway,which might be a potential therapeutic target for endometrial carcinoma.

Cardiovascular diseases are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels, primarily including coronary heart disease, stroke, and other diseases. It is the world’s leading cause of death, and its incidence is increasing yearly. Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Wnt signaling comprises a series of highly conservative cascading events controlling fundamental biological processes. Wnt signaling pathways include the canonical Wnt pathway (or Wnt/β-catenin pathway), the non-canonical planar cell-polarity pathway, and the non-canonical calcium-dependent pathways. Abnormal Wnt signaling promotes cell proliferation and differentiation, cardiac malformations, various malignancies, so drugs targeting Wnt signaling play a great therapeutic potential. Wnt/β‑catenin pathway is involved in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke by regulating cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, blood-brain barrier permeability, inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune response. Based on the latest research progress, this review summarizes the role of Wnt/β‑catenin signaling in cardiovascular diseases, in order to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Exploring the risk "time interval window" of sequential medication of Reduning injection (RDN) and penicillin G injection (PG) by detecting the correlation between serum biochemical indexes and plasma metabonomic characteristics, in order to reduce the risk of adverse reactions caused by the combination of RDN and PG. All animal experiments and welfare are in accordance with the requirements of the First Affiliated Experimental Animal Ethics and Animal Welfare Committee of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (approval number: YFYDW2020002). The changes of biochemical indexes in serum of rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It was determined that RDN combined with PG could cause pseudo-allergic reactions (PARs) activated by complement pathway. Further investigation was carried out at different time intervals (1.5, 2, 3.5, 4, 6, and 8 h PG+RDN). It was found that sequential administration within 3.5 h could cause significant PARs. However, PARs were significantly reduced after administration interval of more than 4 h. LC-MS was used for plasma metabolomics analysis, and the levels of serum biochemical indicators and plasma metabolic profile characteristics were compared in parallel. 22 differential metabolites showed similar or opposite trends to biochemical indicators before and after 3.5 h. And enriched to 10 PARs-related pathways such as arachidonic acid metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, linoleic acid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and tryptophan metabolism. In conclusion, there is a risk "time interval window" phenomenon in the adverse drug reactions caused by the sequential use of RDN and PG, and the interval medication after the "time interval window" can significantly reduce the risk of adverse reactions.

PI3Kγ and PI3Kδ have important regulatory roles in the immune system, and targeting these two subtypes helps to reshape the tumor microenvironment. PI3Kγ and PI3Kδ are potential targets for tumor immunotherapy. In this study, a series of new pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives were designed and synthesized on the basis of our previously reported PI3K inhibitors, resulting in the discovery of compound 16l as a potent and selective PI3Kγ/δ dual inhibitor. Compound 16l demonstrated strong biochemical potencies against PI3Kγ and PI3Kδ with IC₅₀ values of 0.11 and 0.79 nmol·L^-1. In cell-based assays, it potently inhibited the PI3Kγ and PI3Kδ mediated Akt S473 phosphorylation with EC₅₀ values of 3 and 7 nmol·L^-1. In vivo, compound 16l exhibited acceptable pharmacokinetic properties in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and suppressed the tumor growth in a MC38 syngeneic mouse model. The animal experiments were approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences (approval number: DWLL-2000-06). In addition, no appreciable human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) inhibition was observed for compound 16l even at 30 μmol·L^-1. These results suggested that compound 16l might be a potential research tool for studying the PI3Kγ/δ mediated signaling pathways.

Objective To investigate the effects and molecular mechanisms of inhibition of the Ras homolog gene(Rho)/Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase(ROCK)pathway on the proliferation and migration of airway smooth muscle cells involving myocardin(MYOCD).Methods Human airway smooth muscle cells were infected with the adenoviral vector Ad-ZsGreen-shRNA-hROCK1 in vitro.The cells were randomly divided into four groups:ROCK1 gene silencing control(shNC)group,shNC+arachidonic acid(AA,Rho/ROCK pathway activator)group,ROCK1 gene silencing(shROCK1)group,and shROCK1+AA group(n=3 each).Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of ROCK1 and MYOCD mRNA and protein.ELISA was employed to measure the levels of globular actin and filamentous actin,while immunofluorescent staining and scratch assays were utilized to assess cell proliferation and migration.Results Compared to the shNC+AA group,the shROCK1+AA group exhibited decreased levels of ROCK1 and MYOCD mRNA and protein expression,reduced expression levels of globular actin and filamentous actin,and diminished cell proliferation and migration capabilities(P<0.05).Conclusions Inhibition of the Rho/ROCK pathway suppresses the proliferation and migration of airway smooth muscle cells,which may be associated with the downregulation of MYOCD.

Objective To investigate the effect of varying ureteral wall thickness(UWT)at the site of ureteral stones on the clinical efficacy of ureteroscopic lithotripsy(URL).Methods The clinical data of 164 patients with ureteral stones in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.According to different UWT,the patients were divided into the mild thickening group(84 cases,UWT<3.16 mm),the moderate thickening group(31 cases,UWT 3.16 to 3.49 mm),and the severe thickening group(49 cases,UWT>3.49 mm),and the differences of clinical related indicators among the three groups were compared.Results The incidence of postoperative renal colic and leukocyte disorder in the mild thickening group and the moderate thickening group were lower than those in the severe thickening group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The postoperative catheterization time in the mild thickening group and the moderate thickening group were shorter than that in the severe thickening group,and the incidences of secondary lithotripsy,residual stones and stone return to kidney in the mild thickening group and the moderate thickening group were lower than those in the severe thickening group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The length of hospital stay and hospitalization cost in the mild thickening group and the moderate thickening group were shorter/less than those in the severe thickening group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion With the increase of UWT(especially when UWT>3.49 mm),the incidence of postoperative complications and hospitalization cost of URL increase to varying degrees,and the surgical efficacy decreases.In clinical work,UWT measurement holds potential value in predicting the surgical efficacy and complications of URL.
