According to the pathological changes of cervical cancer， it is believed that traditional Chinese medicine can effectively prevent and treat through the following three stages. Firstly， during the stage of persistent high-risk human papilloma virus （HR-HPV） infection， the state before disease arises， it is advisable to prevent from arises. The disease mechanism of this stage is liver constraint and spleen deficiency， damp-turbidity retention， and modified Wandai Decoction （完带汤） can be used strengthen the spleen and soothe the liver， boost qi and dispel dampness. Secondly， at low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions （LSIL） of the uterine cervix with persistent HR-HPV infection stage， the disease state， should control the development of existing disease， and the disease mechanism of this stage is depletion of qi and blood， combined with dampness and stasis. Modified Danggui Shaoyao Powder （当归芍药散） can be used to strengthen spleen， soften liver， promote blood circulation and drain water. Thirdly， after the surgery treatment of cervical precancerous lesions or cervical cancer， the post-treatment state， it is advisable to "prevent recurrence after treatment"， and the disease mechanism of this stage is co-existing of deficiency， stasis， and dampness with a small amount of cancer toxin. Prescriptions of modified Danggui Shaoyao Powder and Fangji Fuling Decoction （防己茯苓汤） can be used to boost qi， warm yang， invigorate blood and drain water， and also resolve toxins.

AIM:To explore the synergistic sensitization effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell culture supernatant(hUMSC-CM)combined with temozolomide(TMZ)on various glioma cell lines,and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.METHODS:The hUMSC-CM was harvested using two different serum deprivation tech-niques at 24 and 48 h,and was converted into freeze-dried powder,which was then given to rat malignant glioma cell line RG-2,human astrocytoma cell line U251 and human glioblastoma cell line LN-428 at 5 concentrations(0,1,3,6 and 9 g/L).The effectiveness and sensitivity of hUMSC-CM for inhibiting growth of glioma cells at 24,48 and 72 h were as-sessed using CCK-8 assay.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining combined with CCK-8 assay was employed to evaluate the chemotherapy sensitivity of glioma cells after 48 h of treatment with TMZ at 6 concentrations(0,25,50,100,200 and 400 μmol/L).Two concentrations(3 and 9 g/L)of hUMSC-CM and 3 concentrations(50,100 and 200 μmol/L)of TMZ were chosen for concurrent treatment of glioma cells to assess the proliferation and pathological alterations.TUNEL staining was utilized to detect apoptosis.Flow cytometry was utilized to analyze cell cycle modifications.The expression alterations of apoptosis-inducing proteins,cleaved caspase-3,cleaved caspase-8 and cleaved PARP1,as well as autophagy-inducing proteins beclin-1 and LC3,were examined using Western blot to investigate the synergistic sensitization mechanism of hUMSC-CM combined with TMZ in vitro.RESULTS:The susceptibility of glioma cell lines to hUMSC-CM and TMZ varied,with RG-2 showing the highest sensitivity,followed by U251,and then LN-428.The inhibitory effect of hUMSC-CM(3 and 9 g/L)and TMZ(50,100 and 200 μmol/L)combined treatment on glioma cells was significantly greater than that that of single-agent treatments(P＜0.05),demonstrating a dose-and concentration-dependent enhancement.Notably,the combination of 9 g/L hUMSC-CM(C9)with 50 μmol/L TMZ(T50)effectively suppressed glioma cell growth.CCK-8 as-say indicated a significant reduction of cell viability in C9+T50 group compared with either C9 or T50 alone(P＜0.05).HE staining and TUNEL staining revealed pronounced morphological changes and significant apoptotic features in glioma cells treated with C9+T50.Flow cytometric analysis confirmed that C9+T50 induced cell cycle arrest in glioma cells.Fur-thermore,compared with control group,the levels of cleaved caspase-3,cleaved caspase-8,cleaved PARP1,beclin-1,and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ were significantly elevated in the C9+T50-treated glioma cells(P＜0.01).CONCLUSION:(1)The concomitant administration of hUMSC-CM and TMZ exerts a broad inhibitory effect on glioma cells,with a synergistic sen-sitization observed across different cell lines.(2)The enhancement of glioma cell sensitivity to TMZ by hUMSC-CM may be attributed to the modulation of caspase-8/caspase-3/PARP1 signaling pathway and the induction of both apoptosis and autophagy in glioma cells.

AIM:To investigate the effect of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase(ADAM)domain-like decy-sin 1(ADAMDEC1)knockdown on the proliferation,migration and invasion of pancreatic carcinoma cells.METHODS:Expression levels of ADAMDEC1 in pancreatic carcinoma tissues were analyzed using the GEPIA and UALCAN online da-tabases.Western blot analysis was employed to detect the protein expression levels of ADAMDEC1 in pancreatic carcino-ma cell lines(MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1)and pancreatic ductal cell line(hTERT-HPNE).The effects of ADAMDEC1 knockdown on cell proliferation,migration and invasion were evaluated using CCK-8,colony formation,wound-healing and Transwell assays.Additionally,Western blot analysis was used to detect the effects of ADAMDEC1 knockdown on the expression levels of migration and invasion markers,as well as Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related proteins in pancre-atic carcinoma cells.Furthermore,a recovery experiment was conducted to assess the role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling path-way agonist CHIR-99021 in ADAMDEC1 knockdown-induced inhibition of pancreatic carcinoma cell growth and migra-tion.RESULTS:(1)ADAMDEC1 was highly expressed in pancreatic carcinoma cells.(2)Knockdown of ADAMDEC1 led to a significant reduction in the proliferation,migration and invasion of pancreatic carcinoma cells.(3)Knockdown of ADAMDEC1 resulted in increased E-cadherin protein expression and decreased levels of matrix metalloproteinase 9,N-cadherin and vimentin proteins,alongside a reduction in the expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related pro-teins.(4)Co-treatment of pancreatic carcinoma cells with CHIR-99021 and ADAMDEC1 small interfering RNA reversed the inhibitory effects of ADAMDEC1 knockdown on cell proliferation,migration,and invasion.CONCLUSION:ADAMDEC1 is highly expressed in pancreatic carcinoma.Targeted silencing of ADAMDEC1 has the potential to inhibit the prolifera-tion,migration and invasion of pancreatic carcinoma cells by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Background Silicosis is caused by long-term inhalation of large amounts of free silica (SiO₂) particles, and exploring its mechanism can provide new directions for the treatment of silicosis fibrosis. Objective To investigate the expression and role of fatty acid binding protein 5 (FABP5) in a silica-induced silicosis model. Methods In combination with the results of single-cell transcriptome sequencing, the expression pattern of FABP5 in mouse alveolar epithelial cells was explored by bioinformatic analysis, and the distribution pattern of fabp5 was detected by spatial transcriptomics. An in vivo model of silicosis was established by intratracheal injection with SiO₂ into mice and four groups were set up: normal saline (NS) 7 d group, NS 56 d group, SiO₂ 7 d group, and SiO₂ 56 d group. An in vitro model of silicosis was established in SiO₂-treated mouse lung epithelial cell line (MLE-12). At the whole animal level, the marker of epithelial cells (E-Cad) and the protein level of FABP5 were detected by tissue immunofluorescence assay; in vitro, the changes of fabp5 mRNA expression and protein level in MLE-12. Results The results of single-cell transcriptome sequencing and spatial transcriptome sequencing showed that the mRNA expression of fabp5 was upregulated in type II alveolar epithelial cells in the focal area of silicosis in mice, accompanied by elevated tissue immunofluorescent protein levels, and there was co-localization of E-CAD. Meanwhile, SiO₂ stimulation induced a 1.58-fold increase in fabp5 mRNA expression and a 2-fold increase in protein levels in MLE-12 cells, with significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion The protein level of FABP5 is increased in alveolar epithelial cells in a pulmonary fibrosis model, suggesting that FABP5 may be involved in the pathological process of epithelial cells in pulmonary fibrosis.

Silicosis, one of the most serious occupational diseases in the world, is a complex pathological process with multi-cell involvement and multi-factor regulation, and its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated.Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) regulates tumor signaling pathways, cell development and cell cycle.The regulatory subunit B of PP2A binds to the core enzyme, resulting in tissue expression specificity and substrate specificity of the PP2A holoenzyme complex.Protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit B"α (PPP2R3A) is a subunit of PP2A regulatory subunit B", which is a regulator of cell proliferation.However, the role of PPP2R3A in pulmonary fibrosis is still unclear.In this study, the pulmonary fibrosis model was established by endotracheal infusion of silica (SiO2, 250 mg/kg).Human pulmonary fibroblast-adult cells (HFP-a) were stimulated with 5 ng/mL TGF-β1 to construct fibro-related cell models.The transcription level of Ppp2r3a was detected by qRT-PCR assay.Immunofluorescence and Western blot experiments were performed to detect protein levels.Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay.The cell migration ability was detected by scratch test.Experimental results showed that silica nodules and collagen deposition were obvious in the SiO2 group, and the expression of PPP2R3A in lung fibroblasts increased, which could affect cell viability and migration ability, and may promote the progression of pulmonary fibrosis by regulating the expression of p53 signaling pathways.This study provides a new idea for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.

Objective: To analyze the clinical , immunological and genetic features of a child with BCL11B mutation induced neurodevelopmental disorder. Methods: The clinical data and genetic test of a child with BCL11B mutation hospitalized in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology in Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in December 2018 were extracted and analyzed. The literature was searched with "BCL11B mutation" and "immunodeficiency 49" as key words in Chinese databases and Pubmed until January 2019 was reviewed. Results: A male patient aged 3 years and 11 months with facial dysmorphisms and delayed language and motor development was admitted due to neurodevelopmental retardation over two years. Laboratory tests showed normal human immunoglobulin (IgG 12.90 g/L, IgA 1.02 g/L, IgM 1.15 g/L, IgE 532 000 U/L), Trec (228) and proliferation of T and B cells. The lymphocyte subsets revealeda reduced percentage of B cells (0.108) but normal absolute numbers (0.574×10^-3/L), and an increased percentage (0.828) as well as absolute numbers (4.415×10^-3/L) of T cells. A heterozygous BCL11B mutation was detected by sanger sequencing, showing a de novo frameshift mutation c.1887_c.1893delCGGCGGG in exon 4. Two papers were found which were all in English, with total of 14 patients(13 patients with complete information). Thirteen mutations were reposed, including 7 frameshift, 2 nonsense, 2 missense, and 2 chromosomal rearrangements; Thirteen patients had heterozygous mutations. All patients had delayed language and motor development and facial dysplasia which were mainly hypertelorism, thin eyebrows and small palpebral fissures. Some patients had dental anomalies, ametropia and allergy, and a few were combined with immune impairment, but without overt signs of immunodeficiency. Only one patient had multisystem anomalies and profound immune deficiency. Conclusions BCL11B is essential for development of the nervous and the immune system. In this study, the de novo mutation of BCL11B gene resulted in neurodevelopmental and immunological disorders.
