[摘 要] 目的：探究连接蛋白4/泛酸酯酶1轴在食管鳞状细胞癌（ESCC）中的表达和其对ESCC细胞恶性生物学行为的影响及机制。方法：转录组测序结合GO和KEGG富集分析筛选出连接蛋白4调控下游靶基因泛酸酯酶1，用数据库Timer2.0分析泛酸酯酶1 mRNA在ESCC组织中的表达，并用qPCR和WB法检测正常食管上皮细胞HET-1和ESCC细胞中泛酸酯酶1 mRNA和蛋白的表达，筛选出表达差异最为显著的ESCC KYSE-410和KYSE-510细胞。用siRNA敲减KYSE-410和KYSE-510细胞中泛酸酯酶1的表达，用CCK-8法、划痕愈合实验和Transwell小室实验检测敲减泛酸酯酶1表达对细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭的影响。此外，对泛酸酯酶1相关信号通路进行KEGG和GO富集分析，并采用免疫组化法比较泛酸酯酶1在ESCC组织和癌旁组织中的表达差异。结果：Timer2.0数据库数据分析和qPCR法检测结果显示，泛酸酯酶1在ESCC组织和细胞中呈高表达（均P < 0.01）。WB法检测结果显示，泛酸酯酶1蛋白在ESCC细胞中高表达（P < 0.01）。siRNA成功敲减了KYSE-410和KYSE-510细胞中泛酸酯酶1的表达。敲减泛酸酯酶1能显著抑制KYSE-410和KYSE-510细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭能力（P < 0.05或P < 0.0 1或P < 0.00 1或P < 0.000 1）。KEGG和GO富集分析提示泛酸酯酶1可能通过参与泛酸和辅酶A的合成代谢途径发挥作用。免疫组化法检测结果显示，泛酸酯酶1在ESCC组织中呈高表达（P < 0.000 1）。结论：泛酸酯酶1在ESCC组织中呈高表达，通过连接蛋白4/泛酸酯酶1轴促进KYSE-410和KYSE-510细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭能力。靶向抑制泛酸酯酶1可能为ESCC的治疗提供新的思路。

ObjectiveTo assess the availability of bronchodilators for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in community health service centers (CHCs) in Shanghai. MethodsOn the basis of previous research, the questionnaire was updated, and surveys were conducted from April to May 2023 in CHCs in Shanghai, with a focus on the availability of medications for COPD treatment. According to the National Basic Medical Insurance, Work Injury Insurance, and Maternity Insurance Drug List (2023 Edition), a total of 24 types of bronchodilators for COPD treatment were identified. The availability rates were used to assess the accessibility of specific drugs in CHCs, and the dispensing rates were used to evaluate the variety of these medications in CHCs. ResultsA total of 248 CHCs responded, with a response rate of 100.0%. Among them, a total of 232 CHCs (93.5%) were equipped with bronchodilators. In terms of availability rates, the availability rates for β₂ adrenoreceptor agonists, muscarinic antagonists, combination drugs, and xanthines drugs were 86.3%, 52.0%, 52.4%, and 85.1%, respectively. Regional differences were observed, in that salbutamol/levalbuterol and budesonide-formoterol were less available in suburban CHCs, ipratropium bromide had lower availability in urban CHCs, and aminophylline was more available in suburban CHCs. Regarding the dispensing rates of the 24 types of bronchodilators for COPD treatment, the median of types equipped by CHCs was 5, with a total of 200 CHCs (80.6%) equipped with fewer than 7 types of bronchodilator drugs. ConclusionThe proportion of CHCs in Shanghai equipped with bronchodilators for COPD is relatively high. However, there exist problems such as limited variety of stocked medications, significant differences in the availability of different drugs, and regional imbalances in drug stocking. To improve the standardized diagnosis, treatment, and management of COPD patients, it is recommended to enhance the availability of COPD treatment medications in CHCs.

Occipital lobe epilepsy （OLE） accounts for 5%-10% of all focal epilepsy cases. Ictal clinical symptoms mainly include visual and ocular movements， with common and specific elementary visual hallucinations. Electroencephalography has certain limitations， and a well-localized unifocal rhythmic ictal discharge during seizure is infrequent on ictal EEG. Detailed preoperative evaluation， especially the evaluation of symptoms and intracranial EEG monitoring， can help to obtain good outcomes after surgical treatment.

Objective To summarize the clinical features of epileptic patients with visual hallucination as the main ictal symptom.Methods The epileptic patients with visual hallucination as the main feature who were admitted to Peking University First Hospital were enrolled， and clinical data were collected for descriptive analysis.Results Five epileptic patients were enrolled， among whom there were two patients with simple visual hallucination and three patients with complex visual hallucinations. Three patients were found to have intracranial space-occupying lesions， one with a left occipital vascular malformation， one located subcortically in the right posterior temporal region， and one in the anterior temporal area.Conclusion Epileptic seizures with visual symptoms are relatively uncommon in clinical practice， and this study reports five epileptic patients with the main symptom of classic visual hallucination， in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases among clinicians.

ObjectiveTo characterize the seasonal patterns of influenza in Kunming City, Yunnan Province before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, and provide scientific evidence for optimizing influenza prevention and control strategies. MethodsInfluenza-like illness (ILI) and etiological surveillance data for influenza from the 14^th week of 2010 to the 13^th week of 2024 in Kunming City of Yunnan Province were collected. Harmonic regression models were constructed to analyze the epidemic characteristics and seasonal patterns of influenza before (2010/2011‒2019/2020 influenza seasons), during (2020/2021‒2022/2023 influenza seasons), and after (2023/2024 influenza season) the COVID-19 pandemic. ResultsBefore the COVID-19 pandemic, influenza in Kunming City mainly exhibited an annual cyclic pattern without a significant semi-annual periodicity, peaking from December to February of the next year, with an epidemic duration of 20‒30 weeks. During the pandemic, influenza seasonality shifted, with an increase in semi-annual periodicity and an approximate one month delay in annual peaks. However, after the pandemic, the annual amplitude of influenza increased compared with that before the pandemic, and the epidemic duration extended by about one month. Although the annual peak largely reverted to the pre-pandemic levels, the annual peaks for different influenza subtypes/lineages had not fully recovered. ConclusionInfluenza seasonality in Kunming City underwent substantial alterations following the COVID-19 pandemic and has not yet fully reverted to pre-pandemic levels. Continuous surveillance on different subtypes/lineages of influenza viruses remains essential, and prevention and control strategies should be adjusted and optimized in a timely manner based on current epidemic trends.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether there are differences in the efficacy of Gegen Qinliantang with different contents of Puerariae Lobatae Radix on the acute enteritis （AE） model mice and provide a scientific basis for the interpretation of Gegen Qinliantang in the treatment of "Xie Re Li". MethodsA total of 112 male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into a blank group，model group，single Puerariae Lobatae Radix group，non-Puerariae Lobatae Radix group，regular dose Gegen Qinliantang group （regular dose group），half-dose Puerariae Lobatae Radix group，and doubled-dose Puerariae Lobatae Radix group， with 16 mice in each group. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the colon tissue. Western blot was employed to detect the expression of ZO-1 （a protein in the tight junction） and Occludin in the colon tissue， as well as the changes of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and interleukin-1β （IL-1β）. ResultsCompared with the blank group，the DAI scores of the mice in the model group were significantly higher （P<0.05），and the histopathological sections of their colon tissues showed mucosal damage，glandular atrophy，disordered arrangement，and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltration，and the expression of ZO-1 and Occludin proteins in their colon tissues was significantly down-regulated （P<0.05，P<0.01）. The expression of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β was significantly up-regulated （P<0.05，P<0.01）. Compared with the model group，the DAI scores of mice in all dosing groups decreased significantly （P<0.05），with the most significant effect in the regular dose group. After 7 d of drug administration，the regular dose group had the best impact on the repair of colonic mucosa in the AE mouse model. The regular dose group significantly down-regulated the expression of TNF-α （P<0.05） and significantly up-regulated the expression of ZO-1 protein （P<0.05）. The doubled-dose Puerariae Lobatae Radix group significantly down-regulated the expression of IL-1β protein （P<0.01），and there was no significant difference between all dosing groups and the model group in terms of the expression of Occludin protein. After 14 d of drug administration，the best effect on the repair of colonic mucosa in the AE mouse model was observed in the doubled dose Puerariae Lobatae Radix group. All groups except the non-Puerariae Lobatae Radix group significantly down-regulated the expression of TNF-α （P<0.01）. Meanwhile，the regular dose group and doubled-dose Puerariae Lobatae Radix group significantly elevated the expression level of Occludin protein （P<0.01）. The doubled-dose Puerariae Lobatae Radix group also significantly inhibited the expression of IL-1β protein （P<0.05） and up-regulated ZO-1 protein expression （P<0.05）. ConclusionGegen Qinliantang can reduce the pathological damage of colon tissue， protect the barrier function and structure of intestinal epithelial cells， and reduce the expression of inflammatory factors， so as to achieve the therapeutic effect of AE model mice. When comparing the therapeutic efficacy of Gegen Qinliantang containing different Gegen contents， Gegen Qinliantang with the proportion of the original formula of Zhongjing was the most effective in AE model mice.

ObjectiveTo explore the regulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal （HPG） axis by modified Erxian decoction in rats with perimenopausal syndrome （PMS） and to further analyze the expression of proteins related to the silent information regulator 1 （SIRT1）/hypothalamic kisspeptin （Kisspeptin）/gonadotropin-releasing hormone （GnRH） signaling pathway in the arcuate nucleus region （ARC） of the hypothalamus， so as to reveal the potential target of action and molecular biological mechanism of modified Erxian decoction for the treatment of perimenopausal syndrome. MethodsAn animal model was established via the incomplete castration method， with successful modeling confirmed by the exfoliated cervical cell smear method. The 48 rats were divided into six groups based on the randomization principle after successful modeling， including a sham operation group， a model group， an estradiol valerate group （0.09 mg∙kg^-1∙d^-1）， high-， medium-， and low-dose modified Erxian decoction groups （7.614， 3.807，1.903 5 g∙kg^-1∙d^-1）， with 8 rats in each group. The estradiol valerate group and the high-， medium- and low-dose modified Erxian decoction groups were continuously administered by gavage for 28 days， and the indicators were detected 24 hours after the last administration. Body weights and uterine indices were measured. The pathological changes of the uterus were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was performed to measure the levels of estradiol （E₂）， follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， luteinizing hormone （LH）， and gonadotropin-releasing hormone （GnRH）. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot were used to determine the expression levels of SIRT1， Kisspeptin， kisspeptin receptor （GPR54）， and GnRH in the ARC region of the hypothalamus and gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor （GnRH-R） in pituitary. ResultsCompared with the sham operation group， rats in the model group had a significantly increased body weight （P0.01）， reduced wet weight and index of uterus （P0.01）， endometrial thinning or atrophy， glandular atrophy， and a decreasing number of glands. Additionally， serum levels of E₂ and the expression of SIRT1 in the ARC region of the hypothalamus significantly decreased （P0.01）. Serum levels of FSH， LH， and GnRH， the expression of Kisspeptin， GPR54， and GnRH in the ARC region of the hypothalamus， and GnRH-R in pituitary significantly increased （P0.01）. Compared with the model group， the estradiol valerate group and the high-， medium-dose modified Erxian decoction groups had significantly reduced body weight， serum levels of FSH， LH， and GnRH， and expression of Kisspeptin， GPR54， and GnRH in the ARC region of the hypothalamus and GnRH-R in pituitary （P0.05， P0.01） and significantly increased wet weight and index of uterus， serum level of E₂， and expression of SIRT1 in the ARC region of the hypothalamus （P0.05， P0.01）. In addition， they showed thickened endometrium， increased number of endometrial glands， and improved glandular atrophy. ConclusionModified Erxian decoction regulates the function of the HPG axis through multi-targets， and its mechanism of action may be related to the up-regulation of the expression of SIRT1 in the ARC region of the hypothalamus， the inhibition of the over-activation of the Kisspeptin/GnRH signaling pathway， the regulation of the expression of GnRH-R in the pituitary， the restoration of secretion balance of gonadotropins， and the elevation of the estrogen level. This study provides an experimental basis for the interpretation of the scientific connotation of modified Erxian decoction in the treatment of perimenopausal syndrome and a theoretical reference for the development of a novel therapeutic strategy based on the SIRT1/Kisspeptin/GnRH pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects and mechanism of the combination of arsenic trioxide （ATO） and its dimethylarsinic acid （DMAV） metabolite on apoptosis of human acute promyelocytic leukemia NB4 cells by affecting the balance of metabolic reaction. MethodsThe rats were injected with the same amount of sterile normal saline， ATO（1.6 mg·kg^-1）， and DMAV（4， 8， 16， and 32 mg·kg^-1） combined with ATO（1.6 mg·kg^-1）， respectively， to obtain the corresponding drug-containing serum. The effect of drug-containing serum on the proliferation of NB4 cells was detected by the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8 ）method. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry with Annexin-V-FITC/PI double staining. Intracellular reactive oxygen species （ROS） accumulation was detected by flow cytometry using fluorescent probe DCFH-DA. The changes of mitochondrial membrane potential （Δψm） were detected by the fluorescence probe JC-1. Western blot detected the expression of apoptosis-related proteins， namely B-cell lymphoma-2（Bcl-2）-associated X protein（Bax）/Bcl-2， Cytochrome C， cleaved Caspase-9， and cleaved Caspase-3， as well as c-Jun N-terminal kinase（JNK） phosphorylation levels. Results①The Combination of the two drugs had a higher proliferation inhibition rate and more apoptosis than ATO alone. ②The combination of two drugs can significantly increase the production of ROS compared with any single treatment group. ③The Δψm was significantly reduced in the two-drug combination group compared with any single treatment group. ④Compared with either group， the combination group significantly released Cytochrome C， significantly down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2， and up-regulated the expression of Bax， cleaved Caspase-3， and cleaved Caspase-9. ⑤The phosphorylation level of JNK was significantly up-regulated in the two-drug combination group compared with any single treatment group. ConclusionThe combination of DMAV and ATO may synergistically induce mitochondrial apoptosis through ROS-mediated oxidative stress， triggering Δψm dissipation and Cytochrome C release. By activating Caspase-9/Caspase-3 and the phosphorylation level of JNK， the Bcl-2 family protein （Bax/Bcl-2） was regulated to promote the apoptosis of NB4 cells.

AIM: To compare the control effect of spherical and toric orthokeratology on low-to-moderate myopia with astigmatism(-1.00--1.50 DC)in adolescents.METHODS: The clinical data of 119 cases(119 eyes)of low-to-moderate myopia with astigmatism(-1.00--1.50 DC)adolescents who were treated and fitted with orthokeratology in the ophthalmology department of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from June 2021 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into spherical group, with 65 cases(65 eyes), and toric group, with 54 cases(54 eyes)according to the type of orthokeratology. The changes of uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), axial length and corneal astigmatism before and after wearing lenses were recorded to evaluate the therapeutic effect.RESULTS: The UCVA of both the groups significantly improved at 1 and 2 a after wearing lenses(all P<0.01); corneal astigmatism decreased, but there was no significant difference(all P>0.05); the axial length was longer than that before wearing lenses(P<0.01). There were no statistical significant differences in the UCVA and corneal astigmatism between the spherical group and the toric group(Fintergroup=0.829,Pintergroup=0.364; Fintergroup=0.997,Pintergroup=0.320); and there were no statistical significant differences in the axial length growth between the spherical group and the toric group after wearing lenses for 1 a(0.18±0.11 mm vs 0.17±0.14 mm), and 2 a(0.17±0.10 mm vs 0.16±0.10 mm; all P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Both orthokeratology lenses can improve the UCVA, reduce corneal astigmatism, and delay axial length growth of adolescents with low-to-moderate myopia with astigmatism(-1.00--1.50 DC), and there are no significant differences in the control effect of spherical design orthokeratology and the toric design orthokeratology on myopia.
