BACKGROUND:Traditional Chinese medicine compound prescription has a long history in the treatment of primary osteoporosis,and the curative effect is definite,but the medication rule and mechanism are not clear. OBJECTIVE:Using the methodology of data mining and network pharmacology,to explore and verify the law of drug use and molecular mechanism of modern traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of primary osteoporosis. METHODS:The relevant documents included in CNKI,WanFang,VIP and PubMed were used as data sources,and the relevant data were statistically counted and extracted by Microsoft EXCEL2019,IBMSPSS25.0 and other software.The high-frequency drugs obtained from the data statistics were analyzed by association rules analysis and cluster analysis,and the core drug combination of traditional Chinese medicine compound prescription in the treatment of primary osteoporosis was obtained by combining the two results.The therapeutic mechanism of this combination was explained by network pharmacology and verified by molecular docking. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Finally,151 articles were included and 207 prescriptions were selected,involving 285 flavors of Chinese herbs.(1)Ten groups of important drug combinations were obtained through the above two analyses,among which the core drug combination with the highest confidence and improvement was"Drynaria-Eucommia-Angelica."The key components of the combination in the treatment of primary osteoporosis were quercetin,kaempferol,naringenin and so on.The core targets were SRC proto-oncogene,phosphoinositide-3-Kinase regulatory subunit 1 and RELA proto-oncogene.The main pathways were cancer signaling pathway,JAK-STAT signaling pathway,VEGF signaling pathway,and NF-κB signaling pathway.(2)The key active components were docked with the core targets,and the two showed a good combination.To conclude,Chinese herbal compound therapy in the treatment of primary osteoporosis can use a variety of active components to exert its efficacy through multiple signal pathways and acting on multiple targets,which can provide a theoretical basis for the research and development of new drugs for the follow-up treatment of primary osteoporosis.

The ezrin,radixin,moesin(ERM)protein family plays a pivotal role in cell morphology,migration,and signal transduction.Ezrin,as a prominent member of this family,is highly involved in these processes.Ezrin phosphorylation is particularly crucial,by regulating the interaction between ezrin and the actin cytoskeleton.This interaction is a key mediator of cytotoxicity in host cells infected with Helicobacter pylori,significantly impacting cell morphology.In this review,we comprehensively summarize the multifaceted role of ezrin protein in H.pylori-induced nodular gastritis.We consider the relationships between ezrin's structure,function,signaling pathways,and phosphorylation in the context of nodular gastritis.Moreover,this review highlights the role of ezrin protein as a potential therapeutic target,offering novel insights for the prevention and treatment of nodular gastritis.

In recent years, the "Room Escape" industry in China is booming, and this real live game has become popular. However, health threatening events such as fire, trauma, coma, and lung infection in the game venues have been reported at home and abroad. If these venues are not supervised in time, there will be great potential public safety and health hazards. In this review, we summarized the hidden dangers of public safety and health in such venues, including fire and safety hazards, persistent stress state, indoor ventilation problems, risk of contagious infection, non-player characters’ health risk, special film effects of 4D cinemas, mosquito problems, light pollution and noise, and food safety. Meanwhile, health management recommendations for the game venues were proposed from the aspects of formulating health management standards, improving health security measures, and strengthening related health education to players, so as to improve the hygiene levels of such venues and protect players and staff from injuries or diseases.

ABSTRACT: Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial neoplasm with diverse pathological types and complicated clinical manifestations. The fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (WHO CNS5), published in 2021, introduces major changes that advance the role of molecular diagnostics in meningiomas. To follow the revision of WHO CNS5, this expert consensus statement was formed jointly by the Group of Neuro-Oncology, Society of Neurosurgery, Chinese Medical Association together with neuropathologists and evidence-based experts. The consensus provides reference points to integrate key biomarkers into stratification and clinical decision making for meningioma patients.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of nano-cerium oxide on the early development of zebrafish embryos. METHODS: The well-developed zebrafish embryos were randomly divided into the control group and the 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800 mg/L dose groups, with 40 embryos in each group. The dose groups were treated with nano-cerium oxide at the corresponding mass concentration for 5 days. The control group received no treatment. The death and malformation of embryos were observed. The heart rate of zebrafish embryos was recorded using confocol microscope. The protein expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3) and cleaved Caspase-3 and were observed by Western blot technology. RESULTS: The death and embryonic malformation rate of zebrafish embryos increased with the increase of doses, showing statistical significance(P<0.01). The heart rate of the 800 mg/L dose group was decreased compared with the control group [(77±8) vs(93±4) beats/min, P<0.01]. There was no statistical significant difference in LC3-Ⅱ protein expression in each groups(P>0.05). The cleaved Caspase-3 protein expression increased in all dose groups compared with the control group(P<0.05). The cleaved Caspase-3 protein expression in the 200 mg/L dose group was higher than that in the 50 mg/L dose group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The nano-cerium oxide may induce cell apoptosis, causing toxic effect in early development of zebrafish embryos.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy and diagnostic value of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid galactomannan test (BALF-GM) combined with serum GM test on invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). METHODS: 190 cases of BALF-GM and 4 787 cases of serum GM specimens suspected of fungal infection in patients admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2016 to June 2018 were enrolled and analyzed. All patients were classified into clinically confirmed IPA, clinically diagnosed IPA, suspected IPA and excluded IPA according to the classification standard of Expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary mycosis. The coincidence rate of BALF and serum GM test results with clinical diagnosis was analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed, and the diagnostic value of BALF and serum GM test alone or in combination for IPA was evaluated. Subgroup analysis was performed in patients with normal or abnormal immune function, and the sensitivity and specificity of BALF and serum GM test were compared separately or jointly. RESULTS: The positive rate of BALF-GM was 46.8% (89/190), and 10.4% (497/4 787) on serum GM. Among them, 156 patients were both tested on BALF and serum GM. There were 44 cases with both positive in BALF and serum GM, the coincidence rate of clinical definite was 93.2% (41/44). There were 34 cases with positive BALF-GM and negative GM test in serum, and the coincidence rate of clinical definite was 64.7% (22/34). There were 56 cases positive in serum GM and negative in BALF-GM, and the coincidence rate of clinical definite was 48.2% (27/56). BALF and serum GM tests were both negative in 22 cases, and the coincidence rate of exclusion diagnosis was 90.9% (20/22). ROC curve analysis showed that the diagnostic value of BALF-GM test combined with serum GM test for IPA was better than that of BALF-GM test or serum GM test alone [area under ROC curve (AUC): 0.992 vs. 0.983, 0.976]. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were 95.3%, 87.0%, 93.2% and 90.9%, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that among 89 patients with positive BALF-GM test, 85 cases (95.5%) had normal immune function and 4 cases (4.5%) had unknown condition. Among 497 patients with positive serum GM test, 12 cases (2.4%) had normal immune function, 372 cases (74.9%) had abnormal immune function and 113 cases (22.7%) were uncertain. It was shown by ROC curve analysis that the sensitivity of positive BALF-GM test in diagnosis of IPA in patients with normal immune function was higher than that of positive serum GM test (95.6% vs. 88.9%), while the sensitivity of positive serum GM test in patients with abnormal immune function was higher than that of positive BALF-GM test (91.8% vs. 89.9%). CONCLUSIONS The results of BALF and serum GM tests are in good agreement with clinical diagnosis, and the combined detection of BALF and serum GM is more valuable for IPA diagnosis than single detection, especially for patients with unknown immune function.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of fixation of distal radius fracture with dorsal instability with locking compression plate (LCP) via radial approach.Methods From September 2009 to October 2012, 21 cases underwent LCP fixation of the distal radius fracture with dorsal instability via radial approach.The study included 14 males and 7 females (mean age, 54.5 years;range, 38-81 years).Twelve cases were injured in traffic accidents, 7 in falls and 2 in high falls.Fracture AO classification was type A3 in 10 cases, type C1 in 8 cases and type C2 in 3 cases.Two cases (one type A3 and one type C1) had malunion.When the lateral column, intermediate column, radial edge and dorsal plane were exposed by radial incision, LCP fixation with bone grafting was performed to restore the height of radial styloid process, ulnar deviation and palmar tilt.According to the GartlandWerley score, wrist joint function was evaluated.Results Mean duration of follow-up was 13.5 months (range, 12 to 24 months).Stage Ⅰ bone union was shown on X-rays, with the healing time of 7.5 weeks.Based on the X-rays at postoperative 6 months, 1 year and 2 years, the shortening of radial styloid process was ≤ 2 mm, mean volar tilt was 12.5°(range, 8°-17°) , mean ulnar tilt was 20.5° (range, 15°-26°), and step-off or gap of the articular surface was ≤ 2 mm.In postoperative wrist motion assay, mean volar flexion was 60°(range, 30°-70°), mean dorsal flexion was 55° (range, 30°-65°), mean radial deviation was 17°(range, 10°-20°), mean ulnar deviation was 25.5° (range, 20°-30°),pronation was 65.5° (range, 60°-70°) , and mean supination was 75.5° (range, 60°-80°).Mean grip strength was 75％ (60％-95％)of the contralateral side.Two cases suffered from pain (one complained of moderate pain and one minor pain occasionally).According to the Gartland-Werley score, 16 cases were rated excellent, 2 good, 2 fair and 1 poor, with the excellent rate of 86％.No complication was found as injury of the superficial branch of radial nerve, infection, nonunion, nail loosening, medium neuritis and tendon injury.Conclusions Lateral column, intermediate column, radial edge and dorsal plane can be shown via the radial approach.LCP fixation combined with bone grafting contributes to fracture anatomical reduction.

Background and purpose:DNMT3B has nearly 40 known splice variants expressed in a tissue-and disease-speciifc manner, but the roles of these splice variants in the cell are still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of overexpression of DNA methyltransferase 3B4 (DNMT3B4) gene on proliferation of human embryo kidney 293A cells. Methods:293A cells were transfected with plasmid pCMV-DNMT3B4 or pCMV-2B and then treated with G418 to get the stable cell line. The stable cell lines were determined for proliferation level by MTT method, and for cell cycle distribution by lfow cytometry. The expression of p21 was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. The methylation status of p21 gene promoter was detected by methylation-speciifc PCR (MS-PCR). Results:The absorbance value in DNMT3B4-1 and DNMT3B4-2 clone were (58.92±3.47)%and (68.82±5.64)%as compared to 293A-vector cells using MTT method. DNMT3B4 overexpression signiifcantly decreased cell proliferation (P<0.05). S phase fraction of 293A-vector cells was (40.44±0.91)%. While in DNMT3B4-1 and DNMT3B4-2 clone cells, the S phase fraction was (35.88±2.00)%and (37.00±1.79)%respectively. Overexpression of DNMT3B4 could significantly decrease S phase fraction (P<0.05). The expression of p21 in DNMT3B4 overexpressed cells was increased, but the methylation status of p21 gene promoter was unchanged.Conclusion:Overexpression of DNMT3B4 can inhibit 293A cell proliferation and can facilitate p21 expression.

[Abstract ] Objective Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is closely related to pulmonary hypertension .This study was to investigate the correlation of the expression of high mobility group protein B 1 ( HMGB1) with its synthesis and secretion of interferon-γ( IFN-γ) in the distal pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells ( PASMCs ) of COPD rats and its clinical significance . Methods We established COPD models in rats , primarily cultured and identified PASMCs , and detected the synthesis and secretion of cytokine in the PASMCs induced by cigarette smoke extract (CSE) and/or lipopolysaccharide (LPS).The PASMCs in the control, CSE, LPS, and CSE+LPS groups were cultured with anti-HMGB1 antibodies at 0.2 mL 1∶1000.At 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours of inter-vention, the expression of HMGB1 in the PASMCs was detected by Western blot and the concentrations of HMGB 1 and IFN-γin the cell culture supernatant were measured by ELISA , followed by a correlation analysis . Results Light microscopy manifested a peak -valley growth pattern or fusiform shape of the cells , which were identified as PASMCs by α-actin immunohistochemistry and immuno-fluorescence .Western blot and ELISA showed statistically significant differences in the expression of HMGB 1 and concentrations of cell supernatant HMGB1 and IFN-γat 12 hours between any two of the four groups (P<0.05).The HMGB1 expression level was positive-ly correlated with the concentration of IFN-γ(r=0.91), obviously decreased after 12 hours of intervention with anti-HMGB1 antibod-ies as compared with the corresponding experimental groups ( P <0.05).Western blot and ELISA showed no significant differences within the same group at 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours (P>0.05). Conclusion The expression level of HMGB1 was positively correla-ted with the synthesis and secretion of IFN-γin the distal PASMCs of the COPD model rats , and anti-HMGB1 antibodies provide a new in-tervention target for the clinical treatment of COPD and inhibition of its systemic inflammatory response .
