ObjectiveUltra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS） coupled with network pharmacology and molecular docking was utilized to explore the efficacy and mechanism of action of Ermiao Situ decoction on rats with damp-heat eczema. MethodsA rat model of damp-heat eczema was established by artificial climate chamber intervention combined with sensitization induction by dinitrochlorobenzene （DNCB）， and it was randomly divided into the normal group， the model group， the medium- and high-dose groups of Ermiao Situ decoction （3.40 g·kg^-1 and 6.80 g·kg^-1）， and the prednisone acetate group （2.51 mg·kg^-1）， with eight rats in each group， totalling 46 rats， of which six rats were tested with the drug-containing serum. The chemical analysis of drug-containing serum from rats was carried out by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS， combined with network pharmacology for the prediction of key components， core targets， and signaling pathways， and molecular docking experiments were performed by CB-Dock2 online website. The pharmacological effects of Ermiao Situ decoction in the treatment of damp-heat eczema were investigated by epitaxial indexes combined with the pathologic tissue staining method. The serum levels of gastrin （GAS）， interleukin-4 （IL-4）， and interleukin-13 （IL-13） were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Interleukin-6 （IL-6）， Janus kinase 1 （JAK1）， phosphorylated （p）-JAK1， signal transduction and activation of transcription factor 3 （STAT3）， and p-STAT3 protein expression level was determined by Western bolt. ResultsA total of 19 active ingredients were detected in drug-containing serum samples of rats， which were predicted to act on 198 targets for the treatment of damp-heat eczema， among which the key ingredients included rhodopsin， huangpai alkaloids， and quercetin， and the main core targets included STAT3， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）， and IL-6， which were mainly involved in the cancer signaling pathway， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase （Akt） signaling pathway， T helper 17 （Th17） cell differentiation signaling pathway， and JAK/STAT signaling pathway. The molecular docking results suggested that the key components had strong binding activities with the core targets IL-6， JAK1， and STAT3 in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with those in the normal group， rats in the model group were depressed. They had loose hair， loose stools， epidermal oozing， vesiculation， and generation of thick scabs in the form of scales， decreased body weight， increased anus temperature and water intake， and increased indexes of the spleen， thymus gland， and stomach （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the lesion tissue could be seen to be hyperkeratotic， with the aggregation of inflammatory cells and nonsignificant separation of epidermis and dermis. The gastric mucosa was thinned， deficient， and structurally disorganized， and obvious inflammatory cell aggregation was seen. The levels of GAS， IL-4， and IL-13 in serum were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the protein expression levels of IL-6， JAK1， p-JAK1， and p-STAT3 in the lesion tissue were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with those in the model group， rats in each administration group had stable mental states， formed feces， a clean perianal area， and basically normal epidermis. Only a small amount of scaly scabs existed， and the rats had body weight increased， with decreased anal temperature and water intake， as well as decreased spleen， thymus， and gastric indexes （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Epidermal thickness was decreased， and epidermal and dermal separation boundaries were obvious， but hyperkeratotic and accumulation of inflammatory cells could still be seen. The thickness of gastric mucosa increased， and the structure was restored to varying degrees. The levels of GAS， IL-4， and IL-13 content in the serum of rats were increased to varying degrees， and the protein expression levels of IL-6， JAK1， p-JAK1， and p-STAT3 in the dermal lesion tissue were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionErmiao Situ decoction may exert therapeutic effects on rats with damp-heat eczema by modulating the JAK/STAT signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antidepressant mechanism of Shugan hewei tang （SGHWT） based on the metabolomics of prefrontal cortex （PFC）-nucleus accumbens （NAc）-ventral tegmental area （VTA） neural circuit. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， SGHWT low-， medium- and high-dose groups [3.67， 7.34， 14.68 g/（kg·d）， by raw material]， and fluoxetine group [1.58 mg/（kg·d）， positive control]， with 12 rats in each group. Except for the blank group， the depression model was established by chronic unpredictable mild stress combined with individual cage housing in the remaining groups， and the corresponding drug solution or normal saline was administered via gavage during modeling， once a day， for 6 consecutive weeks. After the last administration， the body weight， sucrose preference rate， total moving distance， frequency into the center and immobility time of rats in each group were detected. Samples of PFC， NAc and VTA areas of rats in the blank group， model group， SGHWT medium-dose group and fluoxetine positive control groups were collected，and their histomorphological features were observed， and non-targeted metabolomics analysis （except for fluoxetine group）were performed and validated. RESULTS Compared with model group， the cytolysis， structural damage and other pathological damages in three brain regions of rats were significantly alleviated in each drug group， while their body weight， sucrose preference rate， total moving distance and frequency into the center were all significantly higher or longer （P＜0.05）， and immobility time was significantly shorter （P＜0.05）. The results of non-targeted metabolomics showed that a total of 78 endogenous differential metabolites were identified， with 40， 35 and 24 in the PFC， NAc and VTA regions respectively， mainly involved in amino acid， lipid and sphingolipid metabolism. The results of metabolic pathway enrichment analysis showed that SGHWT affected the neural circuits of depressed rats by regulating sphingolipid metabolism， alanine， aspartic acid and glutamic acid metabolism， saturated fatty acid biosynthesis， among which alanine， aspartic acid and glutamic acid metabolism was predominantly involved. Validation experiments showed that SGHWT significantly increased the phosphorylation levels of protein kinase B （Akt） and mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）， and decreased the protein expression of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor 1 （NMDAR1） in the NAc region of rats. CONCLUSIONS SGHWT significantly improves the depression-like behavior and attenuates pathological damage of PFC-NAc-VTA neural circuit of model rats， the mechanism of which is associated with inhibiting NMDAR1 expression and activating the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the value of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in patients with stage ⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer who received complete resection and chemotherapy. Methods Patients with stage ⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer who received complete resection and chemotherapy were chosen from the SEER Research Plus Database [17 Registries, November 2012 Submission (2000-2019)]. The patients were divided into a PORT group and a non-PORT group according to whether the PORT was used. To balance baseline characteristics between non-PORT and PORT groups, R software was used to conduct a propensity score matching (PSM) with a ratio of 1 : 1 and a matching tolerance of 0.01. Both the Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were conducted to evaluate the value of PORT in terms of overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). Results In total, 2468 patients with stage ⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer were enrolled, including 1078 males and 1390 females with a median age of 65 (58-71) years. There were 1336 patients in the PORT group, and 1132 patients in the non-PORT group. Cox regression analysis showed that PORT was not significantly associated with OS (multivariate analysis: HR=1.051, 95%CI 0.949-1.164, P=0.338) and DSS (multivariate analysis: HR=1.094, 95%CI 0.976-1.225, P=0.123). No statistical difference was found in the OS or DSS between non-PORT group and PORT group after PSM analysis (P＞0.05). Conclusion PORT does not have a survival benefit for patients with stage ⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer who received complete resection and chemotherapy.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of ivabradine on vascular endothelial function in patients with coronary artery disease. METHODS PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， Web of Science， CNKI， Wanfang Data， VIP and CBM databases were retrieved to collect randomized controlled trials （RCTs） about ivabradine （intervention group） versus placebo or β-blocker （control group） from the inception to Mar. 20th 2023. The meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.4 software after literature screening， data extraction and quality evaluation. RESULTS A total of 12 RCTs were included， involving 1 206 patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that the levels of flow-mediated dilation （FMD） [MD＝1.71， 95%CI （0.96， 2.46）， P＜0.000 01] and nitric oxide （NO） [MD＝5.80， 95%CI （5.02， 6.59）， P＜0.000 01] in the intervention group were significantly higher than control group， while endothelin-1（ET-1） level was significantly lower than control group [MD＝－7.45， 95%CI （－8.42， －6.47）， P＜0.000 01]. There was no statistical significance in nitroglycerin-mediated dilation （NMD） level between 2 groups [MD＝0.13， 95%CI（－0.74， 1.00）， P＝0.77]. Subgroup analyses based on the different medications and intervention time in the control group showed better improvement in FMD level of patients receiving ivabradine， compared with placebo （P＜0.05）； compared with placebo and β-blocker， the level of NO in patients receiving ivabradine was improved significantly （P＜0.05）， while ET-1 level was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Regardless of the duration of the intervention， the levels of FMD， NO， and ET-1 in the intervention group were significantly improved compared to the control group （P＜0.01）， while the difference in NMD was not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Ivabradine can improve vascular endothelial function in patients with coronary artery disease.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of ivabradine in the treatment of chronic heart failure （CHF） in the context of “Quadruple Therapy” from the perspective of the health system. METHODS Based on real-world cohort data， the Markov model was constructed according to the natural progression of CHF， with a cycle time of 3 months， a study timeframe of 20 years， and a discount rate of 5%. Using quality-adjusted life year （QALY） and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios （ICER） as the output indexes， the cost-utility analysis was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of ivabradine in combination with the “Quadruple Therapy” regimen， compared with the “Quadruple Therapy” regimen for the treatment of CHF， and the robustness of the results of the base analysis was verified by univariate sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis. RESULTS The results of the base analysis showed that the ICER of ivabradine combined with the “Quadruple Therapy” regimen was 165 065.54 yuan/QALY， compared with the “Quadruple Therapy” regimen， which was lower than the willingness-to-pay （WTP） threshold （257 094 yuan/QALY） based on 3 times of China’s gross domestic product （GDP） per capita in 2022. The results of the univariate sensitivity analysis showed that the discount rate had the greatest impact on the robustness of the model. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed that the probability that the ivabradine combined with the “Quadruple Therapy” regimen was cost-effective under the WTP threshold in this study was 59.50%. CONCLUSIONS When using 3 times China’s 2022 GDP per capita （257 094 yuan/ QALY） as the WTP threshold， the combination of ivabradine and the “Quadruple Therapy” regimen for treating CHF is cost- effective.

Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) is widely distributed in various organisms. The first reported ENGase activity was detected in Diplococcus pneumoniae in 1971. The protein (Endo D) was purified and its peptide sequence was determined in 1974. Three ENGases (Endo F1-F3) were discovered in Flavobacterium meningosepticum from 1982 to 1993. After that, the activity was detected from different species of bacteria, yeast, fungal, plant, mice, human, etc. Multiple ENGases were detected in some species, such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Trichoderma atroviride. The first preliminary crystallographic analysis of ENGase was conducted in 1994. But to date, only a few ENGases structures have been obtained, and the structure of human ENGase is still missing. The currently identified ENGases were distributed in the GH18 or GH85 families in Carbohydrate-Active enZyme (CAZy) database. GH18 ENGase only has hydrolytic activity, but GH85 ENGase has both hydrolytic and transglycosylation activity. Although ENGases of the two families have similar (β/α)8-TIM barrel structures, the active sites are slightly different. ENGase is an effective tool for glycan detection andglycan editing. Biochemically, ENGase can specifically hydrolyze β‑1,4 glycosidic bond between the twoN-acetylglucosamines (GlcNAc) on core pentasaccharide presented on glycopeptides and/or glycoproteins. Different ENGases may have different substrate specificity. The hydrolysis products are oligosaccharide chains and a GlcNAc or glycopeptides or glycoproteins with a GlcNAc. Conditionally, it can use the two products to produce a new glycopeptides or glycoprotein. Although ENGase is a common presentation in cell, its biological function remains unclear. Accumulated evidences demonstrated that ENGase is a none essential gene for living and a key regulator for differentiation. No ENGase gene was detected in the genomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and three other yeast species. Its expression was extremely low in lung. As glycoproteins are not produced by prokaryotic cells, a role for nutrition and/or microbial-host interaction was predicted for bacterium produced enzymes. In the embryonic lethality phenotype of the Ngly1-deficient mice can be partially rescued by Engase knockout, suggesting down regulation of Engase might be a solution for stress induced adaptation. Potential impacts of ENGase regulation on health and disease were presented. Rabeprazole, a drug used for stomach pain as a proton inhibitor, was identified as an inhibitor for ENGase. ENGases have been applied in vitro to produce antibodies with a designated glycan. The two step reactions were achieved by a pair of ENGase dominated for hydrolysis of substrate glycoprotein and synthesis of new glycoprotein with a free glycan of designed structure, respectively. In addition, ENGase was also been used in cell surface glycan editing. New application scenarios and new detection methods for glycobiological engineering are quickly opened up by the two functions of ENGase, especially in antibody remodeling and antibody drug conjugates. The discovery, distribution, structure property, enzymatic characteristics and recent researches in topical model organisms of ENGase were reviewed in this paper. Possible biological functions and mechanisms of ENGase, including differentiation, digestion of glycoproteins for nutrition and stress responding were hypothesised. In addition, the role of ENGase in glycan editing and synthetic biology was discussed. We hope this paper may provide insights for ENGase research and lay a solid foundation for applied and translational glycomics.

ObjectiveTo analyse the clinical characteristics of different traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes in patients with heart failure based on information from electronic medical record. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted to collect clinical data of all inpatients with heart failure in the Department of Cardiology， Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 1， 2019 to December 31， 2020. A database of clinical TCM data was established to explore the characteristics of clinical data of basic information， syndromes and syndrome element types， and biochemical indexes. The distribution of TCM syndromes and syndrome elements in heart failure patients were also analysed， and the basic information and biochemical indexes of the patients with top 7 different TCM syndrome types were compared. ResultsA total of 1676 inpatients with heart fai-lure were included. The top 7 TCM syndromes of heart failure were syndrome of phlegm turbidity and blood stasis （477 cases， 28.46%）， syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis （439 cases， 26.19%）， syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis with water retention （274 cases， 16.35%）， syndrome of yang deficiency with water retention （145 cases， 8.65%）， syndrome of qi and yin deficiency （104 cases， 6.21%）， syndrome of qi and yin deficiency with blood stasis （80 cases， 4.77%）， syndrome of heart yang deficiency （59 cases， 3.52%）. Among the 1676 patients， 6 syndrome elements accounted for more than 5%. Blood stasis accounted for the highest proportion of TCM syndrome element type （1292 cases， 77.09%）， followed by qi deficiency （919 cases， 54.83%）， phlegm （498 cases， 29.71%）， water retention （434 cases， 25.89%）， yang deficiency （215 cases， 12.82%） and yin deficiency （191 cases， 11.40%）. Among the 1676 patients， 1308 cases of acute heart failure mainly showed syndrome of phlegm turbidity and blood stasis （386 cases， 29.51%）， and 368 of chronic heart fai-lure mainly showed syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis （118 cases， 32.07%）. Patients with syndrome of phlegm turbidity and blood stasis had the shortest disease duration of 0.3 months， while those with syndrome of heart yang deficiency had the longest disease duration of 15 months. The proportion of syndrome of phlegm turbidity and blood stasis was the highest in patients with heart failure combined with coronary artery disease， the proportion of syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis with water retention was the highest in patients with heart failure combined with atrial fibrillation， and the proportion of patients with syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis with water retention and syndrome of yang deficiency with water retention in those applying diuretics during the hospital stay was the highest with more than 86%. The different 7 TCM syndromes showed statistically difference in patients with complications including coronary artery disease， old myocardial infarction， atrial fibrillation， pre and post-admission medication usage including intravenous vasodilators， cardiac stimulants， diuretics， and level of blood chloride， blood urea， blood creatinine， blood bicarbonate， blood albumin， and blood total bilirubin （P＜0.05）. ConclusionThe most common TCM syndromes in patients with heart failure are syndrome of phlegm turbidity and blood stasis and syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis. Different TCM syndromes have different characteristics in gender， disease complications， medication before and after admission， and blood indexes.

Objective To investigate the expression and role of the DNA repair and recombination protein RAD54-like(RAD54L)in oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC).Methods Using OSCC-related data from The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,the difference in RAD54L expression between OSCC and control samples was analysed using the Mann-Whitney rank sum test,and the potential value of RAD54L mRNA in OSCC diagnosis was assessed using the receiver operator characteristic curve.The correlation between RAD54L expression levels and clinicopathological data of OSCC patients was analysed using the chi-square test.Once OSCC samples were divided into two groups of high and low expression based on the median value of RAD54L mRNA expression,Cox regression analysis was used to compare the prognostic differences between the two groups.The differentially expressed genes between the groups were subse-quently screened using the DESeq2 package,and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was performed using the cluster-Profiler package.The correlation between RAD54L mRNA and gene expression in the homologous recombination repair pathway was demonstrated by Spearman correlation analysis.After clarifying the bioinformatics significance of RAD54L,RAD54L knockdown experiments were performed in human oral squamous carcinoma cell line HSC-3,and the knock-down efficiency was verified through real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.After transfection,the changes in proliferation,migration,apoptosis,and cycle of HSC-3 cells were assessed by CCK-8,5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU)staining,wound healing,apoptosis,and cell cycle assays.Results Bioinformatics analysis showed that the expression of RAD54L mRNA was higher in OSCC than in normal controls(P＜0.001)and had a high value in predicting poor prognosis(AUC=0.927).The high RAD54L expression group was associated with an increased proportion of male pa-tients(P=0.032),having a higher T-stage(P=0.040),clinical stage(P=0.027),and pathological grading(P=0.013).Once OSCC samples were divided into two groups of high and low expression using the median value of RAD54L mRNA expression,the prognosis of the group with high expression of RAD54L was poorer than that of the group with low expression(P=0.049).The differentially expressed genes between the high and low RAD54L expression groups two groups were mainly enriched in neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions,cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions,calci-um signaling pathway,cell cycle,gastric cancer,extracellular matrix receptor interactions,chemical carcinogenesis-DNA adducts,DNA replication,homologous recombination,and mismatch repair pathways(P＜0.05).In the homolo-gous recombination repair pathway,the expression of RAD54L was positively correlated with the expression of BRCA1,BLM,EME1,XRCC2,POLD1,TOPBP1,RAD51,BRIP1,RAD54B,BRCA2,and SYCP3(P＜0.05),and was strongly positively correlated with the expression of BRCA1,BLM,and EME1(R＞0.8,P＜0.05).The results of in vitro experi-ments showed that RAD54L expression was knocked down to approximately 25％in HSC-3 cells(P＜0.001).Compared with the control group,the RAD54L knockdown group showed a lower proliferation rate(P＜0.05),a lower proportion of EdU-positive cells(P＜0.001),a lower proportion of wound closure(P＜0.001),a higher proportion of G1-phase cells(P＜0.001),a lower proportion of S-phase cells(P＜0.001),and a higher proportion of apoptotic cells(P＜0.001).Conclusion RAD54L is highly expressed in OSCC and correlates with poor prognosis.Down-regulation of RAD54L expression inhibits the proliferation and migration of HSC-3 cells,promotes apoptosis,and impedes cell cycle progres-sion.

Objective To predict whether antiviral therapy is required in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection and an age of≤30 years by establishing a noninvasive model,and to investigate the diagnostic value of this model.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 175 patients with chronic HBV infection who were admitted to Shenzhen Third People's Hospital from January 2017 to January 2023 and met the inclusion criteria,and according to the results of liver biopsy,they were divided into treatment group with 41 patients(with indications for antiviral therapy)and observation group with 134 patients(without indications for antiviral therapy).The two groups were analyzed in terms of the indicators including clinical data,imaging examinations,and serum biochemical parameters.The univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the parameters affecting the indication for antiviral therapy,and different models for predicting the need for antiviral therapy were constructed based on related parameters.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to compare the diagnostic value of different models.The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous variables between groups,and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous variables between groups;the chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups.Results There were significant differences between the treatment group and the observation group in alanine aminotransferase,ferritin,total cholesterol(CHOL),triglyceride,platelet count,liver stiffness measured by sound touch elastography(STE),and procollagen Ⅲ N-terminal propeptide(PIIIP)(all P<0.05).The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CHOL(odds ratio[OR]=0.4,95％confidence interval[CI]:0.2—1.0),STE(OR=1.5,95％CI:1.0—2.1),and PIIIP(OR=1.1,95％CI:1.0—1.1)were independent predictive factors for the indications for antiviral therapy.Model 1(STE+PIIIP+CHOL),model 2(STE+PIIIP),model 3(STE+CHOL),model 4(PIIIP+CHOL)had an area under the ROC curve of 0.908,0.848,0.725,and 0.725,respectively,while STE,PIIIP,and CHOL used alone had an AUC of 0.836,0.725,and 0.634,respectively,suggesting that model 1 had the largest AUC,with a specificity of 77.34％and a sensitivity of 96.36％,and had a significant difference compared with STE,PIIIP,CHOL,and the models 2,3,and 4(Z=0.21,3.08,3.06,3.23,0.89,and 0.88,all P<0.05).Conclusion The noninvasive model established based on CHOL,STE,and PIIIP has a good value in predicting the need for antiviral therapy in patients with chronic HBV infection and an age of≤30 years.
