ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of Bimin Formula （鼻敏方） in treating lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome of allergic rhinitis （AR） with high mucin secretion. MethodsThirty-four SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group （8 rats）， a model group （8 rats）， a low-dose Bimin Formula group （8 rats）， and a high-dose Bimin Formula group （10 rats）. Except for the blank group， the other groups were subjected to AR lung-spleen qi deficiency rat models induced by smoking， gavage of Ginkgo biloba leaf extract， and ovalbumin. After modeling， rats in the low- and high-dose Bimin Formula groups were given Bimin Formula concentrate （concentration of 2.16 g/ml） by gavage at doses of 1.08 g/100 g and 2.16 g/100 g， respectively， while rats in the model group were given 0.5 ml/100 g of normal saline by gavage， once daily for 28 days； the blank group was not intervened. Behavioral assessments were performed after intervention. ELISA was used to detect the levels of peripheral blood total immunoglobulin E （IgE）. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of nasal mucosa epithelium in rats， while immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of transmembrane protein 16A （TMEM16A） and mucin 5AC （MUC5AC） protein in nasal mucosa. Western Blot was used to detect the expression of nuclear factor kappa B （NF-κB） protein， and RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of TMEM16A， MUC5AC， and NF-κB mRNA in nasal mucosa. ResultsHE staining showed that the nasal mucosa epithelial cell structure in the blank group was intact without shedding， swelling， or necrosis； the nasal mucosa epithelial tissue of rats in the model group was thickened and partially shed， with infiltration of eosinophils and lymphocytes visible； the pathological changes in nasal mucosa tissue of rats in the high- and low-dose Bimin Formulagroups were improved， and more improvement was showen in the high-dose group. Compared with those in the blank group， the behavioral scores and peripheral blood total IgE levels of rats in the model group significantly increased， as well as the expression of TMEM16A， MUC5AC， and NF-κB proteins and mRNA in nasal mucosa （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with those in the model group， the behavioral scores and peripheral blood total IgE levels of rats in the high-dose Bimin Formula group decreased， and the expression of TMEM16A， MUC5AC， and NF-κB proteins and mRNA in nasal mucosaalso decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； the behavioral scores and peripheral blood total IgE levels of rats in the low-dose Bimin Formula group were reduced， and the expression of TMEM16A and MUC5AC proteins and mRNA in nasal mucosa， as well as the expression of NF-κB protein decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， but the difference in NF-κB mRNA expression was not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. Compared with the low-dose Bimin Formula group， the expression of NF-κB protein in the high-dose group decreased （P＜0.01）. ConclusionBimin Formula may improve the symptoms and high mucus secretion of AR lung-spleen qi deficiency by regulating the TMEM16A/NF-κB/MUC5AC signaling pathway in nasalmucosa.

Objective To explore the relationship between the polymorphism of excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) C8092A locus and the efficacy and prognosis of platinum-based chemotherapy for lung cancer (LC), and to provide a theoretical basis for precision treatment of LC. Methods From January 2014 to October 2017, 120 patients from two tertiary hospitals in Haikou City, and with pathologically confirmed lung cancer treated with platinum-based chemotherapy were selected as the research objects. After informed consent was obtained, peripheral blood samples were collected for DNA extraction, and the genotype of ERCC1 C8092A locus was detected by mass spectrometry. WHO's Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) was used to judge patients' chemotherapy efficacy and patients' survival status was obtained by telephone follow-up and other means. Results Among the 120 LC patients, the genotype frequencies of ERCC1 C8092A locus were 67 cases of CC wildtype (55.8%), 45 cases of CA heterozygous type (37.5%), and 8 cases of AA rare mutation type (6.7%), which conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (χ2=0.140, P>0.05). The total effective rate of chemotherapy was 32.5%, with the highest effective rate in patients with the CA genotype (42.2%) at the ERCC1 C8092A locus and the lowest in patients with the CC genotype (25.4%). The overall one-year survival rate was 68.3% and the three-year survival rate was 35.8%. The patients with ERCC1 C8092A AA genotype had the lowest survival rate, with a one-year survival rate of 50.0% and three-year survival rate of only 25.0%. However, there were no statistical differences in the overall survival rate among the three genotypes of carriers of ERCC1 C8092A (χ2=0.328, P=0.849). Conclusions The polymorphism of ERCC1 C8092A locus is associated with the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy for LC, and patients with CA genotype have the highest efficacy. The one-year and three-year survival rates of patients with CC genotype are significantly higher than those of CA and AA genotypes.

Objective To use the Internet of things based early warning model of lung cancer to perform early lung cancer screening among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)patients in Lishui City.Methods Patients with COPD diagnosed in our hospital from July 2021 to June 2022 underwent plain chest CT,and the 300 patients who had lung nodules detected and agreed to participate in the study were completed with lung nodule target scan + two-and three-dimensional reconstruction to detect gene polymorphisms of CYP1A1,GST and XRCC1 and mirna130a and mir204-5p in peripheral blood.Asked to wear smart hand ring for 10 hours every day while awake from July 2022 to September 2022 to detect vital signs and exercise volume.Review lung nodule target scan + two three dimensional reconstruction in October 2022.If the nodules were larger than before,the patient was truthfully informed of the results.The patient and the specialist of our hospital discussed whether to carry out lung puncture for pathology.Patients with pathologically confirmed lung cancer were progression group and the rest were stable group.Results Totally 240 patients were in the stable group,48 patients were in the progression group,12 patients continued to follow-up after consultation by physicians.There were significant differences in adiposity,mean oximetry,nadir oximetry,forced vital capacity(FVC)predicted,exercise capacity,and lung nodule diameter between the two groups.The expression levels of peripheral mirna-130a,mirna-204-5p were significantly different between the two groups(P<0.001).There were significant differences in CYP1A1,GST,and XRCC1 genotypes in peripheral blood between stable and progressive patients.The areas under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were mean oxygen saturation(0.681),lowest oxygen saturation(0.735),FVC predicted(0.781),exercise(0.835),lung nodule length diameter(0.825),peripheral blood mirna-130a(0.796),mirna-204-5p(0.893).Conclusion The Internet of things based early warning model for lung cancer can be used for lung cancer screening among COPD patients.

Objective: To establish a non-derivatization-PriME-ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for simultaneou determination of 9 kinds of biogenic amines in yellow rice wine. Methods: Yellow rice wine samples were purified by PriME HLB solid phase extraction column purification, separated using Waters XSelect HSS T3 column (150 mm×2.1 mm, 3 μm), and qualified using multiple reaction monitoring mode, electrospray ion source positive ion and external standard method. Results: There was a good linear relationship for the 9 kinds of biogenic amines at 2.0 to 500.0 μg/L (r≥0.996). The limit of detection was 0.1 to 0.2 mg/L, and the limit of quantitation was 0.3 to 0.6 mg/L. The spike recovery rate of 9 kinds of biogenic amines ranged from 83.5% to 108.6% at 0.1 and 1.0 mg/L, with relative standard deviations of 2.8% to 8.7%. Conclusion Non-derivation-prime ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry can be used for the rapid quantitative detection of biogenic amines in yellow rice wine.

Objective To compare the effect of palliative mitral valve surgeries and medication therapies for secondary non-ischemic mitral regurgitation. Methods The clinical data of patients with non-ischemic functional mitral regurgitation treated in our hospital between 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)＜40% underwent a dobutamine stress test, and a positive result was determined when the LVEF improved by more than 15% compared to the baseline value. Positive patients were divided into a surgery group and a medication group. The surgery group underwent surgical mitral valve repair or replacement, while the medication group received simple medication treatment. Follow-up on survival and cardiac function status through outpatient or telephone visits every six months after surgery, and patients underwent cardiac ultrasound examination one year after surgery. The main research endpoint was a composite endpoint of all-cause death, heart failure readmission, and heart transplantation, and the differences in cardiac function and cardiac ultrasound parameters between the two groups were compared. Results Ultimately 41 patients were collected, including 28 males and 13 females with an average age of 55.5±11.1 years. Twenty-five patients were in the surgery group and sixteen patients in the medication group. The median follow-up time was 16 months, ranging 1-96 months. The occurrence of all-cause death in the surgery group was lower than that in the medication group (HR=0.124, 95%CI 0.024-0.641, P=0.034). The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant in the composite endpoint (HR=0.499, 95%CI 0.523-1.631, P=0.229). The New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade of the surgery group was better (NYHA Ⅰ-Ⅱ accounted for 68.0% in the surgury group and 18.8% in the medication group, P<0.01) as well as the grade of mitral valve regurgitation (87.5% of the patients in the medication group had moderate or above regurgitation at follow-up, while all the patients in the surgery group had moderate below regurgitation, P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in preoperative and follow-up changes in echocardiograph parameters between the two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusion For non-ischemic functional mitral regurgitation, if the cardiac systolic function is well reserved, mitral valve surgery can improve survival and quality of life compare to simple medication therapy.

[Objective] To analyze the therapeutic effects of dasatinib on testosterone propionate (TP)-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in animal experiments. [Methods] Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice were randomly divided into normal control group (n=5), BPH group (n=5), finasteride group (n=8), vehicle group (n=8), dasatinib intermittent administration group (n=10) and dasatinib continuous administration group (n=10). Except for the normal control group, BPH modelling was performed by subcutaneous injection of TP, and the groups were treated with saline, finasteride, polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG400) and dasatinib by gavage, respectively. The mice were sacrificed after a 14-day modelling period and a 28-day administration period. The prostate and spleen were dissected, and serum was sampled. Prostate weight was measured and prostate index (PI) was calculated. HE staining was conducted on the prostate and spleen, and Ki-67 immunohistochemical staining was performed on the prostate. Differences in the levels of serum dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were detected with ELISA. [Results] The prostate weight and PI were significantly reduced in the dasatinib intermittent and continuous administration groups than in the BPH group (P<0.000 1), and the serum DHT level was also significantly reduced (P<0.01), but there were no significant differences in prostate weight, PI and serum DHT between dasatinib intermittent and continuous administration groups (P>0.05), and no significant difference in PSA level among the three groups (P>0.05). After dasatinib treatment, the pathological manifestations of prostate glandular and interstitial hyperplasia were significantly improved; the positive rate of Ki-67 was lower in the dasatinib intermittent and continuous administration groups than in the BPH group (P<0.001). [Conclusion] Dasatinib can inhibit TP-induced BPH, reduce serum DHT level, and inhibit the proliferation of prostate glandular and interstitial cells in mice. The therapeutic effects of intermittent administration of dasatinib are consistent with those of continuous administration.

Objective To explore the relationship of cognitive flexibility with perceived stress and life satisfaction in new recruits,construct a mindfulness-based cognitive intervention program,and investigate the impact of this program on cognitive flexibility and life satisfaction in the participants.Methods Cluster sampling was applied to select new recruits from a unit,and 965 participants were surveyed with questionnaires.The assessment instruments included Chinese Perceived Stress Scale(CPSS),Cognitive Flexibility Inventory(CFI),and Satisfaction With Life Scale(SWLS).Among them,61 new recruits were divided into a training group(n=31)and a control group(n=30).The training group received a mindfulness-based cognitive intervention for 6 weeks,and the control group only received mental health education every week.The training efficacy were evaluated with questionnaires and behavioral experiment(cued task-switching paradigm).Results ① Perceived stress was significantly negatively correlated with cognitive flexibility and life satisfaction(r=-0.78,P＜0.01;r=-0.64,P＜0.01),and cognitive flexibility and life satisfaction were positively correlated(r=0.59,P＜0.01);(2)The mediating effect was observed in cognitive flexibility between recruits'perceived stress affecting life satisfaction,with a mediating effect size of-0.12,accounting for 29.27％of the total effect;(3)After intervention,there were significant differences between the 2 groups of new recruits in terms of cognitive flexibility,life satisfaction,accuracy and reaction time in the cued task-switching paradigm,with those of the training group obviously better than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The training group obtained notably improvements in above scores after intervention(P＜0.05),but no such changes were observed in the control group.Conclusion Mindfulness-based cognitive intervention can effectively improve cognitive flexibility and life satisfaction for new recruits.

Purpose To study the safety and clinical value of adenosine stress myocardial perfusion imaging(MPI)in evaluating myocardial ischemia in children with Kawasaki disease.Materials and Methods A total of 78 children with a history of Kawasaki disease and coronary artery aneurysm confirmed by echocardiography and coronary angiography were prospectively studied in Children's Hospital of Fudan University from August 2019 to February 2021.Adenosine stress MPIs were performed to analyze the safety of adenosine stress test and its sensitivity and specificity in detecting significant coronary artery stenosis(≥75%),and the positive rate of adenosine stress MPIs in different groups of coronary artery stenosis were further compared.Results All 78 children completed adenosine stress test without serious side effects.Among 78 children with adenosine stress imaging,44 patients with negative adenosine stress imaging did not undergo rest imaging,which reduced radiation exposure by 56.4%(44/78).The sensitivity and specificity of adenosine stress MPIs in detecting significant coronary artery stenosis were 66.7%and 60.6%(40/66),respectively.Adenosine stress MPIs were positive in 21 cases(21/52,40.3%)in non-stenosis group,5 cases(35.7%)in mild to moderate stenosis group,and 8 cases(66.7%)in significant stenosis group.There was no significant difference in the positive rate among the three groups(χ2=3.169,P=0.205).Conclusion Adenosine stress test is safe and feasible in children.The stress-first imaging strategy can reduce radiation exposure.Adenosine stress MPI has important clinical value in evaluating and monitoring myocardial ischemia in children with Kawasaki disease complicated with coronary aneurysm.
