ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and mechanism of Danshen Zexie decoction in treating the rats with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD）. MethodSixty male SD rats were randomized into control group， model group， essentiale （polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules， 0.144 g·kg^-1） group， and low-， medium-， and high-dose Danshen Zexie decoction （1.16， 2.32， and 4.64 g·kg^-1， respectively） groups. The rat model of MAFLD was established with high fat diet， and 8-week therapy started at the induction of MAFLD. The serum levels of total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， and aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， as well as the liver levels of TC， TG， free fatty acid （FFA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione （GSH）， and malondialdehyde （MDA）， were measured. The pathological changes of liver were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and oil red O staining， and the steatosis score and oil red O staining area were calculated. The level of reactive oxygen species （ROS） in the liver was detected by immunofluorescence. The protein levels of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）， p-AMPK， nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit （GCLC）， glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit （GCLM）， and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate： quinine oxidoreductase （NQO1） in the liver were determined by Western blot. ResultCompared with control group， the modeling of MAFLD elevated the levels of TC， TG， ALT， and AST in the serum and TC， TG， FFA， MDA， and ROS in the liver （P<0.01）， lowered the levels of SOD and GSH and down-regulated the protein levels of phosphorylation（p）-AMPK， Nrf2， GCLC， GCLM， and NQO1 in the liver （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Further， a large number of lipid droplet vacuoles and balloon-like lesions appeared in the hepatocytes， and the steatosis score and oil red O staining area increased in the model group （P<0.01）. Compared with model group， Danshen Zexie decoction lowered the levels of TC， TG， ALT， and AST in the serum and TC， TG， FFA， MDA， and ROS in the liver （P<0.01）， increased the levels of SOD and GSH and up-regulated the protein levels of p-AMPK， Nrf2， GCLC， GCLM， and NQO1 in the liver （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Moreover， the decoction alleviated the degree of liver steatosis （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionDanshen Zexie decoction protects against MAFLD by activating AMPK/Nrf2 signaling pathway and suppressing oxidative stress.

Triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)can benefit from immunotherapy because of its higher tumor mutational burden(TMB)and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.Although immunotherapy has made breakthroughs as an important treatment strategy for TNBC,recent clinical data suggest that a proportion of patients exhibit resistance to immunotherapy,or those who are ef-fective in treatment experience further recurrence or progression.The main reason for these poor prognosis is complex internal or ex-ternal immune escape mechanisms,which may be caused by abnormal antigen presentation,immunosuppressive tumor microenviron-ment,interactions with other immune checkpoints,and abnormal activation of tumor cell signaling.However,the research on the re-sistance mechanism of TNBC immunotherapy is still incomplete.This article will provide a review of the challenges faced by immuno-therapy and the potential mechanisms of TNBC develops resistance to immunotherapy.

Objective:To summarize the experience of personalized treatment of pediatric prepuce trauma.Methods:The clinical data of children with prepuce trauma treated in the Department of Pediatric Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to March 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. First, pediatric prepuce trauma was classified and graded before treatment, and then the treatment plans were developed with the informed consent of the children’s parents. Mild injuries were treated conservatively. In moderate injuries, in situ suture repair and frenuloplasty were performed. In severe injuries, modified circumcision and prepuce flap prepuceplasty were performed. In extremely severe injuries, composite flap (scrotal and mons pubis flap combined with prepuce flap) prepuceplasty was performed. The children were followed up for penile appearance and urinary and erectile function postoperatively.Results:A total of 36 male children, aged 6 months to 10 years, were enrolled in the study. Type of foreskin trauma: 7 cases of foreskin tie injury, 7 cases of inner plate injury, 12 cases of outer plate injury, and 10 cases of combined inner and outer plate injury; degree of foreskin trauma: 9 cases of mild injury, 6 cases of moderate injury, 19 cases of severe injury, and 2 cases of extremely severe injury. 9 of the 36 cases were treated conservatively; 4 cases were treated with in situ suture repair; 5 cases were treated with in situ suture repair + circumcision; 12 cases were treated with modified circumcision; 4 cases were treated with foreskin flap penile circumcision, and composite flaps (scrotal and mons pubis flaps as advancement flap + prepuce flap) were applied in 2 cases. All the children were followed up for 3~6 months. The appearance of the penis and scrotum was good, and the urination and erectile function were normal after treatment. The parents of the children were satisfied with the treatment results.Conclusions:For the treatment of pediatric prepuce trauma, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the location of the prepuce involved and the degree of prepuce injury and adopt an appropriate personalized treatment plan, which can achieve better results.
