Objective:To observe the effect of Xuebijing injection on sepsis combined with acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI), and analyze the risk factors of sepsis combined with AGI.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Patients with non-gastrointestinal origin admitted to the department of intensive care medicine of the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao from May 1, 2021 to October 30, 2023 were enrolled. The baseline data, source of sepsis infection, vital signs, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), laboratory tests, comorbidities, interventions during treatment, and the 28-day prognosis were collected. The patients were divided into Xuebijing group and non-Xuebijing group according to whether Xuebijing injection was used or not. According to whether AGI was merged or not, patients were divided into merged AGI group and non-merged AGI group. The main observational indexes were the difference in the incidence of AGI between the Xuebijing group and non-Xuebijing group and the difference in the magnitude of the decline in procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cell count (WBC) at 7 days after admission, and the difference in the 28-day morbidity and mortality. Risk factors for AGI in septic patients were explored by univariate analysis, and statistically significant indicators were screened and included in binary Logistic regression analysis to determine independent risk factors.Results:A total of 129 patients with sepsis of non-gastrointestinal origin were enrolled, including 57 patients in the Xuebijing group and 72 patients in the non-Xuebijing group. Among 129 patients, 80 patients in the merged AGI group and 49 patients in the non-merged AGI group. There were no statistically significant differences between Xuebijing group and non-Xuebijing group in gender, age, body mass index (BMI), underlying disease, source of infection, vital sign, APACHEⅡscore, SOFA score, and clinical intervention, and there were no statistically significant differences in laboratory tests except for aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). The incidence of AGI was significantly lower in the Xuebijing group than that in the non-Xuebijing group [50.87% (29/57) vs. 70.83% (51/72), P < 0.05], and the 28-day mortality was slightly lower than that in the non-Xuebijing group [24.56% (14/57) vs. 30.56% (22/72), P > 0.05]. In the Xuebijing group, the decreases in CRP, PCT and WBC at 7 days after admission were greater than those in the non-Xuebijing group, with statistically significant differences in the decreases of CRP and PCT [CRP (mg/L): 47.12±67.34 vs. 7.76±111.03, PCT (μg/L): 14.08 (-1.22, 50.40) vs. 2.94 (-1.27, 14.80), all P < 0.05]. Univariate analysis showed that the use of acid suppressants, the use of analgesic sedation, the non-use of Xuebijing injections, pulmonary infections, and urinary tract infections were the risk factors for the development of AGI in patients with sepsis. Binary Logistic regression analysis further showed that the use of acid suppressants [odds ratio ( OR) = 2.450, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.021-5.883, P = 0.045], use of analgesic sedatives ( OR = 2.521, 95% CI was 1.074-5.918, P = 0.034), and urinary tract infection ( OR = 4.011, 95% CI was 1.085-14.831, P = 0.037) were independent risk factors for sepsis combined with AGI, in which the use of Xuebijing injection was a protective factor ( OR = 0.315, 95% CI was 0.137-0.726, P = 0.007). Conclusions:Xuebijing injection reduced the incidence of AGI in patients with non-gastrointestinal sepsis. PCT and CRP decreased more markedly than in patients who did not use Xuebijing injection. The use of acid-suppressing agents, analgesic and sedative agents, and urinary tract infections were independent risk factors for sepsis in combination with AGI, while the use of Xuebijing injection is a protective factor.

Tumor metastasis depends on the dynamic balance of the actomyosin cytoskeleton. As a key component of actomyosin filaments, non-muscle myosin-IIA disassembly contributes to tumor cell spreading and migration. However, its regulatory mechanism in tumor migration and invasion is poorly understood. Here, we found that oncoprotein hepatitis B X-interacting protein (HBXIP) blocked the myosin-IIA assemble state promoting breast cancer cell migration. Mechanistically, mass spectrometry analysis, co-immunoprecipitation assay and GST-pull down assay proved that HBXIP directly interacted with the assembly-competent domain (ACD) of non-muscle heavy chain myosin-IIA (NMHC-IIA). The interaction was enhanced by NMHC-IIA S1916 phosphorylation via HBXIP-recruited protein kinase PKCβII. Moreover, HBXIP induced the transcription of PRKCB, encoding PKCβII, by coactivating Sp1, and triggered PKCβII kinase activity. Interestingly, RNA sequencing and mouse metastasis model indicated that the anti-hyperlipidemic drug bezafibrate (BZF) suppressed breast cancer metastasis via inhibiting PKCβII-mediated NMHC-IIA phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo. We reveal a novel mechanism by which HBXIP promotes myosin-IIA disassembly via interacting and phosphorylating NMHC-IIA, and BZF can serve as an effective anti-metastatic drug in breast cancer.

Objective:To compare the prediction efficiency of traditional linear regression model and four machine learning models on the learning behavior of clinical medical postgraduates, and to explore the pros and cons and applicability of different prediction models.Methods:A total of 6,922 clinical medical postgraduates were surveyed, their comprehensive learning behavior scores were obtained through the learning behavior scale. In the training set, Lasso linear regression and artificial neural network, decision tree, Bootstrap random forest, and lifting tree were used to build prediction models respectively. The above models were used to predict the validation set data and compare the prediction efficiency.Results:The comprehensive learning behavior score of clinical medical postgraduates was (3.31±0.54) points, and the overall compliance rate was 74.02%. In the linear regression model, the influence of age, school level, degree type, learning interest, pressure and satisfaction on learning behavior were statistically significant. In the prediction of validation set, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the linear regression model were 0.484, 0.914, and 0.801, respectively. The indexes of the four machine learning models were higher than those of the traditional linear regression model, and the Bootstrap random forest had the highest elevation.Conclusion:The linear regression model has a good prediction effect on learning behavior, and machine learning is superior to linear regression model in terms of accuracy of prediction. However, traditional linear regression models are superior to machine learning models in computational efficiency and interpretability.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the R&D of TCM patents for treating gastric cancer and layout. METHODS:TCM patents for treating gastric cancer collected by the State Intellectual Property Office and the European Patent Office Espacenet were retrieved from the inception to Dec. 31st, 2019. After the initial examination ,a second search was conducted based on the keywords such as “Stomachache”“Fuliang” “Accumulation”“Cancer of stomach ”“Gastric”and their synonyms. Each literature was read one by one and screened manually. Excel 2007 software was used to input general information of included patents. SPSS modeler 15.0 software and SPSS 22.0 software were used for association rule analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis of TCM used more than 30 times and top 30 frequently used. Based on patent analysis ,internal strength (S),weakness(W),external opportunity (O)and threat (T)of TCM for treating gastric cancer were analyzed ;based on this ,four different types of combination strategies were formulated. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :Finally,385 patents were obtained ,including 379 domestic patents (98.44%) and 6 foreign patents (1.56%). The number of patent applications and applicants of TCM for treating gastric cancer in China was on the rise during 1994-2016. The commonly used TCM for treating gastric cancer were mainly tonifying deficiency drugs and heat clearing drugs , and the meridian tropism were mostly the stomach meridian and spleen meridian. According to the efficacy ,the commonly used drug combinations include the combination of tonifying spleen and Qi ,the combination of anti-cancer and detoxification ,and the combination of drying dampness and resolving phlegm. The results of hierarchical cluster analysis showed that Poria cocos , Atractylodes macrocephala ,Astragalus membranaceus ,Scutellaria barbata ,Hedyotis diffusa and Glycyrrhiza uralensis were clustered into one category and the common combination for treating gastric cancer. The remaining cluster distributions are also in line with the characteristics of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. Strength of domestic TCM patents for treating gastric cancer were that the number of patents in China was taking a leading position in the world ,the patent system of key applicants was mature,the combination of compound patents embodied the characteristics of disease and dialectical theory. Weakness included low patent authorization rate ,to-be-improved effectiveness and safety studies of TCM patents ,weak development of TCM extract patents,low degree of patent internationalization and hanging same-family patents. Opportunities were that the demand for drugs for gastric cancer was increasing with each passing day ,and natione actively support the development of the TCM industry. Threats were that competitors in the international market had the potential to seize the market. The development of TCM for treating gastric cancer in China should take market demand and national policy support as an opportunity ,learn from TCM patent characteristic system of key applicants ,continue to give full play to the advantages of TCM in prevention and syndrome differentiation of disease,pay more efforts to the development of weak links such as TCM extracts ,safety and effectiveness ,improve the international competitiveness in the field of patents ,while establish a warning and navigation analysis system for patents to effectively reduce the intellectual property threats and risks of invention patents of China in the international environment.

Objective To explore the impact of different doses of butylphthalide on renal interstitial fibrosis in mice with obstructive nephropathy, and to discuss the correlation between Nrf-2 expression level and renal interstitial fibrosis. Methods Totally 72 male CD-1 mice of clean grade were selected and randomly assigned into 4 groups:sham operation group (Sham), model group (UUO), low dose of butylphthalide group (NBPL) and high dose of butylphthalide group (NBPH). In addition to the control group, UUO model was established in other three groups. NBPL group was given NBP 150 mg/(kg· d) by gavage since postoperative day 1,NBPH group was given NBP 220 mg/(kg·d) by gavage. Sham group and UUO group were given equal volume of saline by gavage. Six mice were sacrificed at the third, 7th, 14th day, respectively. The obstructive renal tissue was selected for immunohistochemical staining and Western blot assay. The expression levels of Nrf- 2 and type Ⅰ collagen were detected by Western blot assay. Results The IOD value of type Ⅰ collagen was increased with time in UUO group, and which showed a gradual decreasing trend in Sham group, NBPL group and NBPH group (P<0.05). The IOD values at different time points were significantly higher in UUO group, NBPL group and NBPH group compared to those of Sham group. The IOD values were significantly decreased in NBPL and NBPH groups than that of UUO group, and IOD value was lower in NBPH group than that of NBPL group (P<0.05). Western blot assay showed that IOD values of Nrf-2 and type Ⅰ collagen at 7 d and 14 d were increased in UUO group, NBPL group and NBPH group compared with those of Sham group. The IOD values of Nrf-2 protein were increased, and IOD values of type Ⅰcollagen were decreased, in NBPL group and NBPH group than those of UUO group. The IOD value of Nrf-2 protein was decreased in NBPL group than that of NBPH group, but the IOD value of type Ⅰcollagen was increased in NBPL group than that of NBPH group (P<0.05). Conclusion NBP can improve renal interstitial fibrosis in UUO mice, which may be related with the increased expression of Nrf-2 and the down-regulated expression of type I collagen.

Objective To study the mechanism of glutamine dipeptide on wound healing after operations on bums. Methods Totally, 30 burned patients were randomly divided into study group and control group (15 cases in each group). All patients received parental nutrition support after operation. Study group patients were supplemented with glutamine dipeptide at a dose of 0. 5 g · kg±1 · d±1. The plasma free hydroxyproline level was measured by a standard amino acid analyzer 1 day before operation and 7 days after operation and the wound healing time was recor± ded. Results The plasma free hydroxyproline levels of both groups were higher than the normal values before opera± tion but without significant difference [control group: (2. 24 ±0. 84) fig/ml, study group: (2. 32 ±0.92) μg/ml, normal value: (1.27 ±0.44) μg/ml]. On the post±operative 7 day, the plasma free hydroxyproline level of study group [ (4. 31 ±1. 05) μg/ml] was significantly higher than that of control group [ (3. 04± 1. 01) μ/ml] (P = 0.002). The wound healing time of study group [ (29. 7±5.3) d] was shorter than that of control group but with± out significant difference [ (33. 3 ±7.5) d, P = 0. 14 ]. Conclusion The intravenous supplementation of glutamine dipeptide may increase the plasma hydroxyproline level after operation and thus promote wound healing.

AIM: To prepare a novel long-circulating paclitaxel-containing liposomes, evaluate its quality and study its toxicity to gastric cancer cell line BGC823. METHODS: From May to November in 2006, the experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of Chemistry, Kaili College and the Laboratory of Physics and Chemistry Department, Southeast Guizhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention.①The novel long-circulating paclitaxel-containing liposomes was prepared by ultrasonic film method. Encapsulation efficiency and stability of the paclitaxel liposomes were measured by RP-HPLC.②The paclitaxel liposomes were dispersed in phosphate buffer at the pH value of 6.5, at 4 ℃ for 30 days, and the change of drug loads was observed.③The proliferation of BGC823 cell at logarithmic phase was tested by MTT method under the paclitaxel liposomes concentrations of 5, 10, 15, 20 mg/L. Meanwhile the paclitaxel free drug was taken as controls. RESULTS: ①Encapsulation efficiency of this paclitaxel liposomes was high to 97.6% detected by RP-HPLC.②When the paclitaxel liposomes were stored in refrigerator of 4 ℃, there was no flocculent precipitation during one month. Drug loaded in liposome after 3, 8, 15, 22, 30 days of preservation was respectively 97.3%, 96.2%, 95.6%, 94.9%, and 94.2%. The drug leakage of the paclitaxel liposomes was only 6% one month after dispersing in this buffer.③The result of in vitro cell toxicity showed that, under the drug concentration of 5, 10, 15, 20 mg/L, the inhibition rate to BGC823 cell of paclitaxel liposomes was 33.46%, 44.15%, 51.94%, 68.64% respectively, where those of free paclitaxel was 35.24%, 48.37%, 57.49%, 74.84%. CONCLUSION: ①This high-encapsulated and stable long-circulating paclitaxel-containing liposomes is expected to provide a more effective paclitaxel preparation.②The inhibition rate to BGC823 cell of the paclitaxel liposomes is low to that of free paclitaxel at the same drug concentration, indicating that it can present the slow release of liposomes.
