Objective To explore and verify the protective and therapeutic effects and possible mechanisms of Zukamu granules on hypoxia alone and hypoxia+Su5416-induced hypoxic pulmonary hypertension(HPH)in mice.Methods Multiple databases and related literature were used to collect the active ingredients data in Zukamu granules and the HPH-related targets were predicted and obtained.The network construction and enrichment analysis were performed.The HPH mouse models were es-tablished by two-week hypoxia and four-week hypoxia+Su5416 induction,and the relevant indicators and the main pharmacodyna-mic indexes such as right ventricular pressure were tested.Masson staining was used to observe the pathological changes in lung tissues,and Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of bax,bcl-2,PI3K,p-PI3K,eNOS,and HIF-1α in lung tis-sues.Results A total of 167 active ingredients of Zukamu granules were screened,with 179 intersecting targets with HPH,in-cluding targets like PIK3CA and HIF-1.The validation experimental results showed that Zukamu granules could significantly re-duce right ventricular systolic pressure and right ventricular hypertrophy in HPH mice,and down-regulate the expression of bcl-2 and HIF-1α and up-regulate the expression of bax,PI3K,p-PI3K and eNOS in mice lung tissues.Conclusion Zukamu gran-ules may act against HPH by modulating bax/bcl and PI3K-eNOS/HIF-1α signaling pathways.

Objective To analyze the literatures about artificial intelligence in cancer research in Web of Science (WOS) core collection database in 2010-2019 and summarize research hot spots and development trends. Methods Through bibliometrics methods and CiteSpace information visualization software, we applied the visual analysis of relevant literature on artificial intelligence in the field of cancer research retrieved from the Web of Science core collection database from 2010 to 2019. Results The number of published articles about artificial intelligence in the field of cancer research had been increasing year by year. The United States ranked first in the number of published articles in this field, the number of citations and cooperation capabilities. Although the number of published articles in China ranked the second, the number of citations was low. The hot spots of artificial intelligence in cancer research were mainly breast cancer and lung cancer. Machine learning, neural network and other methods were used to build models, which were used in basic cancer research, clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis prediction. The research frontiers were the methodological research of artificial intelligence, the research on the occurrence and classification of cancer and the research of protein in this field. Conclusion It will effectively promote the development of artificial intelligence in cancer research in China by learning the hot spots and cutting-edge technologies of international research, focusing on international cooperation and cooperation among national institutions and strengthening cross-disciplinary research.

Objective To analyze the influence of a dental caries phototherapy device using neodymium-yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser on the temperature of tooth pulp chamber of different sites and morphologies under different irradiation duration and power. Methods Fifty intact isolated teeth were collected and randomly divided into middle incisor group, upper right first premolar group, upper right second molar group, upper left first premolar group, and upper left second molar group. Each experimental group was irradiated according to the laser power 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9 and 2.0 W, and the irradiation duration 30, 60, 90 s. The temperature rise of the pulp chamber was recorded with a thermocouple thermometer. Results After the laser irradiation, the temperature of the tooth pulp chamber increased, and the temperature rise was less than 5.5℃, i.e. the threshold leading to the dental pulp necrosis. Conclusions The use of laser to prevent dental caries will increase the temperature of the tooth pulp chamber, but the temperature rise in the range of 5.5 ° C is relatively safe and will not cause irreversible damage to the pulp tissue.

Objective To analyze the hot spots and frontiers in domestic and foreign precision medicine with CiteSpace. Methods The CNKI and WOS-covered papers on precision medicine were analyzed by bibliometrics combined with CiteSpace. Results Domestic precision medicine got off in 1992 and scholars became interested in it from 2010 . Foreign precision medicine started in 1985 and studies on it increased rapidly from 2006 . The node of precision medicine was the largest in China with a rather high value of gene mutation, US president Barack Obama ( precision medicine program) , personalized medicine, gene chip, genomics and pharmacogenomics whereas the node of personalized medicine, cancer and breast cancer was the largest with a rather high value of precision medi-cine, pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics. Conclusion The number of domestic and foreign papers on US president Barack Obama ( precision medicine program) is rapidly increased and pharmacogenomics is their common frontier. However, cancer is highly concerned in foreign countries.
