ABSTRACT
Objective:The changes of serum inflammatory factors in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with different traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome types were compared, and the characteristics and significance of inflammatory factors in COPD were discussed from the perspective of traditional Chinese and western medicine.Methods:A total of 100 patients with COPD who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from September 2021 to September 2022 were selected and divided into phlegm turbation obstructing lung group ( n=50) and lung and kidney qi deficiency group ( n=50) according to TCM syndrome types. Twenty healthy subjects in the same period were selected as control group. Serum levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and other inflammatory factors were compared in each group. Results:The MCP-1, IL-6, ESR, CRP, white blood cell count (WBC) and procalcitonin (PCT) of COPD patients in phlegm turbation obstructing lung group were significantly higher than those in lung and kidney qi deficiency group (all P<0.05). The WBC, MCP-1, MIP-1α, IL-6, ESR and CRP of COPD patients in the lung and kidney qi deficiency group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). In the phlegm turbation obstructing lung group, the MIP-1α, MCP-1, IL-6, ESR, CRP, WBC, and PCT were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with COPD have inflammatory reactions, and the inflammatory reactions of patients with phlegm turbation obstructing lung syndrome are more obvious than those with lung and kidney qi deficiency syndrome. The inflammatory factors MCP-1, MIP-1α, IL-6, ESR, CRP, WBC, PCT and other indicators could be used to judge the degree of COPD inflammation, which had certain clinical guiding significance for different syndrome types of COPD patients.
ABSTRACT
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells play an irreplaceable role in biopharmaceuticals because the cells can be adapted to grow in suspension cultures and are capable of producing high quality biologics exhibiting human-like post-translational modifications. However, gene expression regulation such as transgene silencing and epigenetic modifications may reduce the recombinant protein production due to the decrease of expression stability of CHO cells. This paper summarized the role of epigenetic modifications in CHO cells, including DNA methylation, histone modification and miRNA, as well as their effects on gene expression regulation.

Objective To analyze the drug consumption of the joint logistics support force during field training in Yunnan, summarize the drug use characteristics of medical staff, and analyze the drug use rules, so as to provide the basis for modular drug support. Methods The basic information and drug use of the personnel in an institution of the joint logistics support force during the resident training period from April to June 2020 were collected and sorted out. The drug use indicators were calculated by using the defined daily dose (DDD) as the unit, including: daily drug dose (DDDs), daily drug dose cost (DDDc), drug use intensity (DUI), drug utilization rate (DUR) and drug ranking ratio (R) were used to describe drug use characteristics. Results During the resident training period, the amount of musculoskeletal system drugs was large, and the number of users was large. The dosage of cardiovascular system drugs, digestive system drugs and hormone drugs was large, but the number of users was small. Sensory organ drugs, dermatological drugs, heat-clearing agents (Chinese patent medicine) and respiratory system drugs were small in dosages, but the number of users was large. Ranked by DDDs, the top 3 drugs with the highest dosage were Yunnan Baiyao plaster, Yunnan Baiyao Band-Aid and Loratadine Tablets. Ranked by DDDc, the largest daily cost was Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate Powder for Inhalation. As age increases, the intensity of drug use increased; The intensity of drug use in women was greater than that in men. The intensity of drug use was different for different categories personnel. Conclusion Musculoskeletal system drugs are important drugs for field training. The task personnel should formulate a list of medicines for basic diseases based on their own medication for basic diseases and the duration of the task, and submit it to the medicinal material guarantee department to ensure the carrying drugs. The factors affecting modular drug support in field training include: task type, region, solar term, duration and personnel composition, etc.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the correlation between poorly differentiated clusters (PDCs) in colorectal adenocarcinomas with clinicopathological parameters and its clinicopathological significance.@*Methods@#One hundred and eighty-three colorectal adenocarcinomas resected by radical proctocolecomy were collected at Nanjing Hospital(Nanjing First Hospital), Nanjing Medical University, from January to December 2017. There were 122 male and 61 female patients with age ranging from 42 to 89 years (mean of 68 years). Tumor diameter ranged from 2 to 14 cm (mean 4.5 cm). There were 124 colon cancers and 59 rectal cancers. The number and grade of PDCs in the colorectal adenocarcinoma were evaluated by H-E staining. The overall peritumoural inflammatory reaction was also evaluated. The relationship between PDCs and tumor grades and clinicopathological features and overall peritumoural inflammatory reaction of colorectal adenocarcinoma was analyzed.@*Results@#Of 183 cases of colorectal adenocarcinoma, PDCs were seen in 104 cases (56.8%), of which 36 cases (19.7%) were grade 1, 28 cases (15.3%) were grade 2, and 40 cases (21.9%) were grade 3. PDCs were positively correlated with lymph node metastasis, vascular invasion, degree of differentiation, depth of invasion, and pTNM staging(P<0.05). The detection rate of PDCs in colon cancer was higher than that of rectal cancer(P<0.05). PDCs was unrelated to age, gender, tumor size, and degree of overall peritumoural inflammatory reaction (P>0.05). Among clinicopathological parameters, the grade of PDCs was correlated with lymph node metastasis and vascular invasion (higher than those without lymph node metastasis and vascular invasion, P<0.05); There was a positive correlation between the grade of PDCs and age, tumor differentiation and pTNM staging(P<0.05), and no significant difference between the grade of PDCs and gender, tumor size, tumor location, and depth of invasion was seen (P>0.05). There was no correlation between the grade of PDCs and the degree of overall peritumoural inflammatory reaction (P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#PDC is a histological feature that predicts the aggressiveness of colorectal adenocarcinoma. Evaluation of PDC grade can better predict the biological behavior of colorectal cancer and more accurately guide the treatment and evaluate prognosis.

Objective@#To investigate herpesvirus infection in early stage of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and to explore the association between multiple herpesviruses infection and clinical characteristics in HSCT patients and its impact on post-transplant complications and prognosis.@*Methods@#A total of 734 peripheral blood samples were collected from 90 patients undergoing HSCT in the Department of Hematology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between February 2017 and August 2017. The peripheral blood specimens were obtained before and within 90 days after transplantation at different time points. Lab-Aid824 Nucleic Acid Extraction Mini Reagent was used to extract DNA and multiplex PCR assay was used to simultaneously detect 8 kinds of human herpesviruses from genomic DNA. The incidence of various herpesvirus infections, its correlation with clinical features and effects on post-transplant complications and prognosis were analyzed.@*Results@#The median follow-up time was 192 (range: 35-308) days. Among the 90 patients before transplantation, the incidence of herpes virus infection was 35.6% (32/90), including 12.2% (11/90) with one herpes virus infection and 23.3% (21/90) with multiple viruses infection. The incidence of herpes virus infection after transplantation was 77.8% (70/90), including 20.0% (18/90) with one herpes virus infection and 57.8% (52/90) with multiple herpes virus infection. Among the 52 patients with multiple herpes viruses infection, 30 (57.7%) patients were infected by 2 kinds of viruses, 18 (34.6%) patients by 3 kinds of viruses and 4 (7.7%) patients by 4 kinds of viruses. There was a correlation between HHV-6 and HHV-7 herpesvirus infection (OR=13.880, Q=0.026). EBV infection was related to HHV-7 infection (OR=0.093, Q=0.044). The age of patients was correlated with the incidence of HHV-1 infection before transplantation. There were 24 patients in our study experienced clinical symptoms associated with viral infection. The main manifestations were hemorrhagic cystitis (HC), interstitial pneumonia, enteritis, viral encephalitis and fever of unknown origin. EBV infection was related to HLA incompatibility and the inconsistent of the ABO blood group and grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD after transplantation. HLA incompatibility and the unrelated donor and grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD were related to multiple viruses infection.@*Conclusion@#Multiple herpesviruses were common in patients undergoing HSCT, which were closely related to HLA mismatch, unrelated donor and grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD.

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the changes of portal venous velocity (PVV) ratio (PVVR) in different degrees of portal vein stenosis (PVS) following 70％ partial hepatectomy (PH) in rats.Methods According to different surgical methods,102 SD rats were randomly subjected into sham operation rats group (n=6),non PVS group,mild,moderate and severe PVS group (each group n=24).Models of 70％ PH without PV ligation were established in non-PVS group,while in PVS groups were produced with partially ligating PV in different degrees following 70％ PH.PVV was measured 1,3,7 and 14 days after operation,and PVVR was calculated in PVS groups.Combined with mitotic index (MI) 3 days after operation and liver regeneration degree (LRD) 7 days after operation,the changes of PVVR in different groups were analyzed.Results MI of non-PVS and moderate PVS groups were significantly higher than that of mild PVS group (both P＜0.05),while of severe PVS group was significantly lower than that of moderate PVS group (P＜0.05).LRD of severe PVS group was significantly lower than that of non PVS and moderate PVS groups (both P＜0.05).In non-PVS group,PVV decelerated to the lowest 3 days after operation,and recovered 7 and 14 days.In PVS groups,PVVR decelerated to the lowest 7 days after operation,and recovered until 14 days.PVVR of severe PVS group was significantly higher than that of mild and moderate PVS groups 1 and 3 days after operation (all P＜0.05),while there was no statistical differences among PVS groups 7 and 14 days after operation (all P＞0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound can well demonstrate blood flow changes of PVS following 70％ PH in rats.Changes of PVVR may relate to pathological changes in hepatocytes,the nuclear division and the volume of regenerated liver in rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the effect of the appointment checkup process optimized with the theory of constraints in shortening the appointment waiting time. Methods The patients who underwent ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging examination, and CT examinations were selected from the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from March 2017 to February 2018. Firstly, we applied the theory of constraints to investigate and analyze the status of medical technology examinations. Secondly, we optimized the process according to the results of the investigation. Finally, we compared the appointment duration of medical examinations before and after the optimization. Results Thanks to support of departments involved, the longest ultrasonography appointment waiting time was reduced from 3. 74 days to 1. 32 days. The longest appointment time for magnetic resonance imaging examination was reduced from 3. 74 days to 1. 33 days. The longest appointment waiting time for CT was reduced from 2. 62 days to 1. 55 days, and the goal of completing the checkup the day after the prescription was reached in the continuous improvement phase. Conclusions The optimization of the medical technology examination appointment process based on the constraint theory can effectively shorten the checkup appointment duration, maximize utilization of medical resources and optimize the services.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of prostaglandin E2 receptor 1 (EP1) on Adriamycin (ADR)-induced glomerular podocytes injury and its possible mechanism.Methods (1) In vivo experiments:6-8 weeks old male Balb/c mice were randomly divided into four groups:Control group;ADR group;EP1 agonist 17-phenyl PGE2+ADR group;EP1 antagonist SC-19220+ADR group.The mouse model of nephrotic syndrome was induced by injection of ADR (10 mg/kg) into tail vein,and then EP1 agonist (1 μg/g) and antagonist (25 μg/g) were administered respectively.Six weeks later,all mice were sacrificed and urine,blood and kidney tissues were collected.Detecting urine protein,blood chemistry,changes of renal pathology and podocyte-related proteins,electron microscopy changes of podocytes.(2) In vitro experiments:Podocytes were cultured in vitro and divided into different groups:Control group;ADR group (0.2 μmol/L);EP1 agonist (0.1,1,10 μmol/L)+ADR (0.2 μmol/L) group;antagonist (0.1,0.5,1 μmol/L)+ ADR (0.2 μmol/L) group.The proliferation of podocytes was measured by CCK-8.Expression of PGE2 in podocytes was detected by ELISA.Indirect immunofluorescence was used to determine the localization of podocyte-related proteins nephrin,podocin and CD2AP.Expression of nephrin,podocin,CD2AP,COX2 in podocytes was detected by Western blotting and Real-time quantitative PCR.p38 MAPK or phospho-p38 MAPK was measured by Western blotting as well.Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis.Results (1) In vivo experiments:Compared with control group,obvious proteinuria,blood biochemical changes and renal pathological changes were observed in ADR group,proteinuria,blood biochemical and renal pathological changes were more serious in mice dealt with agonist,while antagonist could reduce ADR-induced injury (all P ＜ 0.05).Results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of podocyterelated proteins nephrin,podocin and CD2AP in ADR group were significantly lower than those in control group,and EP1 agonist could further inhibit expression of these proteins,while antagonist could reverse this inhibitory effects (P ＜ 0.05).Electron microscopic results showed that mice in ADR group appeared foot enlargement and fusion,and the agonist group further aggravated the injury,while antagonist intervention could inhibit the injury of podocytes.(2) In vitro experiments:Compared with control group,expression of PGE2 and COX2 were increased;mRNA and protein expression of nephrin,podocin,CD2AP were decreased,p38 MAPK activity and podocytes apoptosis were increased in ADR group (P ＜ 0.05);Agonist could aggravate podocytes damage (P ＜ 0.05),while Antagonist could downregulate the expression of PGE2 and COX2,promote the expression of nephrin,podocin and CD2AP,and inhibit the activity of p38 MAPK and podocytes apoptosis (P ＜ 0.05).The addition of p38 MAPK inhibitor(10 μmol/L) could reduce the inhibitory effect of EP1 agonist on the expression of podocyterelated proteins nephrin,podocin and CD2AP (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions EP1 receptor may activate the p38 MAPK signaling pathway to inhibit podocytes-related proteins nephrin,podocin and CD2AP,as well as mediate the ADR induced podocyte injury.Inhibition of EP1 receptor however have a protective effect.
ABSTRACT
PTPN11 is the most common mutation gene of RAS disease, which is located in the upstream of RAS/MAPK pathway and participates in signal transduction. Because the molecular mechanism of RAS's disease involves the same pathway, it may present a certain commonality in clinic, but the different genotypes with PTPN11 mutation may also express different phenotypes. Therefore, it is not easy to identify and diagnose this disease early in clinic. The present article aims to analyze the correlation between the clinical phenotype and genotype of 4 patients with RAS disease.
ABSTRACT
As the diversity center of Epimedium, China possesses about 50 species. Epimedium plants have been used as herb-medicine for more than 2000 years in China. In recent years, the price of herba epimedii has kept high with the increase in the kinds and quantity of medicine and health products made from herba epimedii. The herba epimedii mainly depends on wild resources, which has led to a sharp decrease in the wild resources due to excessive collection in the field. At present, the supply of the wild resources of Epimedium is far from meeting the demand of production. In this paper, the Global Medicinal Plant Information Geography System (GMPGIS) was used to predict the suitable regions for planting herba epimedii based on climate and soil data in the distribution region of the wild Epimedium. The wild germplasm resources of Chinese Epimedium and the existing three excellent cultivators (Zhongke Jianye 1, Zhongke Qianbei 1 and Zhongke Wushan 1) were also been reviewed and introduced. The pollution-free and precision cultivation system of the herba epimdii, including the selection of planting base, soil complex improvement, seedlings breeding, rational application of fertilizer, comprehensive control of disease and precise field management, were discussed, which would shed light in guiding the pollution- free planting of herba epimedii, and is of great implication for industrial development of herba epimedii.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the sonographic characteristic of hepatic lymphoma. Methods Fifteen patients with pathological proven hepatic lymphomas (4 primary and 11 secondary hepatic lymphomas) were included in this retrospective study. All the 15 patients underwent conventional B-mode ultrasound examinations. Two patients (one with primary lymphoma and another with secondary lymphoma) underwent contrast enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS). Results In the conventional ultrasonography, hepatic masses were detected in 9 patients (4 primary and 5 secondary lymphomas). No hepatic mass was detected in the remaining 6 patients with pathological proven secondary lymphomas. For the 4 patients with detectable primary masses, 2 had a single mass and 2 had multiple masses. All primary hepatic lymphomas were hypoechoic. For the 5 patients with detectable secondary masses, 2 had a single mass and 3 had multiple masses. The hypoechoic lymphomas were found in 3 patients, while hyperechoic and isoechoic lymphomas were found in the other 2 patients. In the 4 patients with primary hepatic lymphomas, 3 had hepatomegaly, while none of the 4 patients had splenomegaly. In the 5 patients with detectable secondary masses, hepatomegaly was found in 3 patients in whom 2 had splenomegaly and 1 had a plate-shaped hypoechoic region within spleen. For the 6 patients without detectable secondary masses, splenomegaly was found in all 6 patients and hepatomegaly was found in 4 patients. In the spleen of one patient, a plate-shaped hypoechoic region was detected in the B-mode ultrasonography. In the CEUS, the primary lymphoma presented a thick ring region with slight enhancement peripheral to the mass during the hepatic artery phase;while the secondary lymphoma presented the uneven enhancement pattern with a small plate-shaped region unenhanced in its center during the hepatic artery phase. Conclusions In ultrasonography, the patients with hepatic lymphomas commonly present a single or multiple hypoechoic well-deifned hepatic masses, poor blood lfow and uneven enhancement peripheral to the mass during the hepatic artery phase of CEUS. Other sonographic characteristic include hepatomegaly and splenomegaly. No mass is detected in ultrasonography can not exclude the diagnosis of hepatic lymphoma.
ABSTRACT
Acute leukemia (AL) is a malignant disease of clonal hematopoietic stem cell abnormalities.Chemotherapy is the main method for the treatment of AL,but the chemotherapy drug resistance has become a major obstacle to successful treatment.There is often a series of drug cooccurrence of drug resistance,and that is multidrug resistance.
