Objective: To investigate the chemical compositions of Maxing Shigan Decoction (麻杏石甘汤, MXSGD) and elucidate its anti-influenza A virus (IAV) mechanism from prediction to validation. Methods: Ultra high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was employed to analyze the chemical compositions of MXSGD. Network pharmacology theories were used to screen and identify shared targets of both the potential targets of active ingredients of MXSGD and IAV. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was then constructed, followed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. The binding stability between core bioactive compounds and key targets was validated by molecular docking and dynamic simulations. A total of 24 BALB/c mice were infected with IAV to build IAV mouse models. After successful modelling, the mouse models were randomly divided into model, MXSGD high-dose (2.8 g/kg), MXSGD low-dose (1.4 g/kg), and oseltamivir (20.14 mg/kg) groups, with an additional normal mice as control group (n = 6 per group). The treatments were administered by gavage daily between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. for five consecutive days. Upon completion of the administration, the body weight ratio, lung index, protein content in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and the levels of inflammatory factors including interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in mice were measured to preliminarily analyze the therapeutic efficacy of MXSGD against IAV infection. Furthermore, the expression levels of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) proteins in the HIF-1 signaling pathway, which was enriched by network pharmacology, were detected by Western blot. Results: A total of 212 chemical components in MXSGD were identified by the UPLC-MS/MS method. These chemical components can be classified into 9 primary categories and 31 secondary categories. After intersecting the chemical component targets with IAV-related targets, a total of 567 potential MXSGD components targeting IAV were identified. The construction of PPI network and the results of both GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that the anti-IAV effects of MXSGD were associated with multiple pathways, including apoptosis, TNF, HIF-1, and IL-17 signaling pathways. The results of molecular docking demonstrated that the binding energies between the core compound 1-methoxyphaseollin and key targets including HIF-1α, mTOR, and VEGF were all lower than – 5.0 kcal/mol. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the structural stability of the resulting complexes. Animal experiments showed that compared with the normal controls, IAV-infected mice showed significantly reduced body weight ratio, markedly increased lung index, protein content in BALF, and the levels of inflammatory factors such as IL-6 and TNF-α (P < 0.01), thereby causing damage to the lung tissue; consequently, the expression levels of mTOR, HIF-1α, and VEGF proteins in the lung tissues of these mice were significantly elevated (P < 0.01). However, after MXSGD treatment, the mouse models presented a significant increase in body weight ratio, as well as marked decreases in lung index, protein content in BALF, and the levels of inflammatory factors including IL-6 and TNF-α (P < 0.01). Furthermore, the therapy alleviated IAV-induced injuries and significantly downregulated the expression levels of mTOR, HIF-1α, and VEGF proteins in lung tissues (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Conclusion MXSGD exerts anti-IAV effects through multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway synergism. Among them, 1-methoxyphaseollin is identified as a potential key component, which alleviates virus-induced lung injury and inflammatory response via the regulation of HIF-1 signaling pathway, providing experimental evidence for the clinical application of MXSGD.

Based on the theory of "one qi circulation" founded by HUANG Yuanyu， the core disease mechanism of colorectal cancer is the innate spleen deficiency and stomach qi failing to bear downward， which leads to the turbidity assemble in large intestine， forming the carcinoma toxin， and ultimately transforms into colorectal cancer. The treatment should base on recovering the circulation of qi， Huangya Decoction （黄芽汤） as the basic formula， the circulation of qi ascending and descending as the base， adjusting ascending and descending together with Xiaqi Decoction （下气汤）， and differentiating the syndrome on yin-yang excess-deficiency； for spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome， treated with Tianhun Decoction （天魂汤） to supplement liver， kidney and assist yang； for liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome， treated wtih Dipo Decoction （地魄汤） to supplement lung， kidney， and assist yang. They jointly prompt one qi circulation to provide the thoughts for the treatment of colorectal cancer by traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and assess the safety of transnasal nebulisation of budesonide in children with adenoid hypertrophy. Methods:Children with adenoid hypertrophy who attended the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine between December 2021 and December 2022 were randomly assigned to budesonide high-dose group（Group A: budesonide 1 mg/dose + saline nasal rinse）, budesonide low-dose group（Group B: budesonide 0.5 mg/dose + saline nasal rinse）, and control group（Group C: saline nasal rinse）, and each group 20 children were collected separately, The efficacy and safety of transnasal nebulisation of budesonide in children with adenoid hypertrophy were assessed by comparing the symptomatic VAS scores, adenoidal nasopharyngeal lateral radiographs A/N values, nocturnal sleep oximetry（SaO2）, and the incidence of adverse events during the treatment period of 8-week in the three groups. Results:The 8-week baseline differences in adenoid A/N values were statistically different between groups A and B（P<0.001） and A and C（P=0.022）, with the reduced amount in adenoid volume being most pronounced in group A, which differed from the other two groups. With the increase of intervention time, SaO2 levels gradually increased（F=154.725, P<0.001） and VAS scores gradually decreased（F=165.616, P<0.001） in all three groups. After 8 weeks of treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in SaO2 level（P=0.085） between groups A and B. There was a statistically significant difference in VAS total scores between Group A and Group B （P < 0.05） . The improvement of SaO2and total VAS score in group A was higher than that in group B. There was a statistically significant difference in the comparison of SaO2 level and total VAS score between groups A and B, and between groups A and C（P<0.01）; after the intervention of the three groups, showing the greatest improvement of total VAS score and SaO2in the group A, followed by Group B. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse events among Groups A, B, and C throughout the trial. Conclusion:The treatment of children with adenoid hypertrophy by intranasal nebulisation of budesonide suspension has good efficacy and safety, which is conducive to reducing the size of adenoids, improving the clinical symptoms of children with adenoid hypertrophy, and improving the SaO2of nocturnal sleep, and it has a certain clinical application value.

Objective:To investigate the effects of fasudil hydrochloride(FH) on Rho-associated kinase 2(ROCK2) protein and ferroptosis in hippocampal area during early brain injury in rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH).Methods:Total 36 SPF grade Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups by random number table method: Sham group, SAH group and SAH+ FH (a ROCK2 protein inhibitor) group (FH goup) with 12 rats in each group.SAH animal model was established by internal carotid artery perforation.The rats in FH group were injected intraperitoneally with FH(15 mg/kg) 30 minutes after successful modeling, and rats in Sham group and SAH group were injected intraperitoneally with the same volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution.Twenty-four hours after the intervention, shuttle box test was used to observe the learning and memory ability of rats.The Fe 2+ content in rat hippocampus tissue was detected by colorimetry, and the protein levels of ROCK2 and ferroptosis-related long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4(ACSL4) and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4) in hippocampus were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 20.0 software.One-way ANOVA was used for multigroup comparison, and LSD test was used for further pairwise comparison. Results:(1)In the shuttle box test, there were statistically significant differences in the number of avoidance reactions and avoidance reaction time of rats among the three groups( F=20.348, 22.316, both P<0.05). The number of avoidance reaction in SAH group was less than that in Sham group ((17.92±2.94) times, (27.13±3.48) times, P<0.05), the time of avoidance reaction in SAH group was longer than that in Sham group ((9.15±2.87) s, (3.68±1.09) s, P<0.05), while the number of avoidance reaction in FH group ((21.63±4.11) times) was more than that in SAH group, and the time of avoidance reaction ((6.08±1.76) s) was shorter than that in SAH group (both P<0.05). (2) The colorimetry results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the content of Fe 2+ in hippocampus of rats among the three groups( F=7.965, P<0.05). The Fe 2+ content in SAH group was significantly higher than that of Sham group((0.091±0.032) nmol/mg, (0.038±0.024) nmol/mg, P<0.05), and the Fe 2+ content in the FH group ((0.065±0.021) nmol/mg) was lower than that of SAH group ( P<0.05). (3) There were significant differences in the number of ROCK2, ACSL4 and GPX4 positive cells in hippocampus of rats among the three groups in immunohistochemistry ( F=7.602, 14.171, 36.077, all P<0.05). The positive cells of ROCK2 and ACSL4 in SAH group ((21.63±4.72), (55.13±19.41)) were significantly higher than those of Sham group ((11.63±3.62), (23.38±3.74)) (both P<0.05), and the positive cells of ROCK2 and ACSL4 in FH group ((15.88±6.64), (44.75±8.29)) were both lower than those of SAH group(both P<0.05), while the number of GPX4 positive cells in SAH group (25.38±6.30) was significantly lower than that of Sham group (60.25±10.36) ( P<0.05), and the number of GPX4 positive cells in FH group (45.13±7.51) was higher than that of SAH group( P<0.05). (4)The results of Western blot showed that there were significant differences in the expression levels of ROCK2, ACSL4 and GPX4 proteins in the hippocampus of rats among the three groups( F=4.812, 12.573, 10.849, all P<0.05). The protein expression levels of ROCK2 and ACSL4 in SAH group were significantly higher than those in Sham group(both P<0.05), and the protein expression levels of ROCK2 and ACSL4 in FH group were lower than those in SAH group (both P<0.05), while the expression level of GPX4 protein in SAH group (0.27±0.09) was significantly lower than that in Sham group( P<0.05), and the expression level of GPX4 protein in FH group was higher than that of SAH group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:FH can inhibit ferroptosis in the hippocampus and improve the learning and memory ability of rats, and the mechanism may be related with down-regulation of ROCK2 protein.

The teaching of diabetes has always been the focus and difficulty of clinical internal science teaching. How to skillfully integrate theoretical knowledge into clinical practice and help students deeply master medical knowledge and clinical skills is a topic that clinical teaching teachers are considering. Under the background of analyzing the concept and connotation of deep blended learning, this paper constructed the diabetes "doctor-patient" friendly model teaching process in the perspective of deep blended learning from the three stages of "learning situation analysis and independent learning" in the early stage, "ability improvement and in-depth research" in the middle stage, and "reflection and ability expansion" in the later stage. This paper expounded the positive role of the "doctor-patient" friendly model of diabetes in clinical teaching from three main aspects: improving the integration effect of theory and practice, fully meeting students’ learning needs, and increasing the connection between doctors, patients, and students.

Objective:To conduct a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the issues found in quality management, establish a risk-based whole-process quality management model, and improve the quality of clinical trials.Methods:Based on the risk-based quality management theory, the issues found in the quality control of drug clinical trials in Beijing Cancer Hospital in 2020 were structured and classified by severity (mild to moderate to severe) and 10 categories, and the risk matrix was graded by a semi-quantitative method. Targeted quality control strategies for different levels of risk were carried out according to visual analysis of the informative quality analysis platform. Chi-square tests of the severity of quality control issues in our hospital in 2020 and 2021 and non-parametric tests of the number of issues per capita in each category were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the management model.Results:A risk matrix was established according to the severity and frequency of the issues found in the quality control in 2020. The issues with severe risks were categorized as protocol compliance and serious adverse events, and categories with moderate risks included informed consent, biological sample related, original records, and investigator folders. After using visual analysis and adopting the risk-based quality control strategy, the proportion of severe issues found in quality control in our hospital in 2021 was 0.92%, lower than that of 1.39% in 2020, and the difference was statistically significant. The average number of issues detected per capita in each category for each trial in 2021 was lower than that in 2020 with a statistical difference, indicating that the management model was effective.Conclusions:Using information technology to adopt risk-based quality management is helpful to improve the quality of hospital clinical trials.
