RESUMEN
Autophagy is an important mechanism to maintain cellular function and metabolism,whereas ab-normal autophagy can cause the advent and worsening of various diseases.N6-Methyladenosine(m6A)RNA methylation is a reversible RNA modification,which is regulated by m6A methyltransferase,m6A demethylase and m6A-binding protein.Studies have shown that autophagy-related genes promote or attenuate autophagy level dependent on the regulation of m6A,and then participate in the process of diseases.This paper reviews the progress of m6A modification regulatory enzymes and their binding proteins in regulating cell autophagy to provide reference for future researches.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the effective components and potential mechanisms of Xiefei Lishui Prescription in the treatment of heart failure.Methods:Ultra high-performance liquid chromatography tandem four stage rod time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) technology was used to analyze and identify the active components of Xiefei Lishui Prescription. Drug targets were predicted through the Swiss Target Prediction database, and disease targets were collected from Gene Cards, Dis GENET, and TTD databases. The intersection of drug targets and disease targets was screened using a STRING database for protein interaction to identify core targets. The core targets were included in the DAVID database for GO enrichment and KEGG analysis. Finally, molecular docking validation was performed between the drug components and the corresponding core targets.Results:The results identified 10 active components of Xiefei Lishui Prescription, and 8 potential active components were screened using network pharmacology for the treatment of heart failure with Xiefei Lishui Prescription, corresponding to 160 related action targets. A total of 1 305 disease-related targets were collected, and a total of 51 targets ad 17 core targets were included in the string database for protein interaction analysis. GO functional enrichment and KEGG analysis indicated that the mechanism of Xiefei Lishui Prescription in treating heart failure may be related to pathways such as protein binding, ATP binding, and negative regulation of the VEGF signaling pathway and T cell receptor pathway during apoptosis. The molecular docking results showed that baicalin exhibited good binding activity with ESR1, sorghum isoflavones with ESR1, and quercetin with AKT1, EGFR, IL2, and ABCB1.Conclusion:Xiefei Lishui Prescription may exert therapeutic effects on heart failure through multiple pathways by targeting ESR1, AKT1, EGFR, and other targets.

Objective:To predict the possible targets and signaling pathways of Jiangtang Xiaoke Granules in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) using computer network pharmacology and molecular docking technology.Methods:The active components and targets of Jiangtang Xiaoke Granules were collected by ETCM; the targets of DM were searched from the databases of DisGeNET and GeneCards, and the intersections of the two were taken to draw a Venny diagram; String database was used for gene transformation and network interaction analysis; the network diagram was constructed with Cytoscape3.6.0; the predicted results were supported by molecular docking technology; GO and KEGG analysis was performed through Metascape database.Results:A total of 128 active components of Jiangtang Xiaoke Granules were screened, with 607 corresponding targets, 1 240 DM related targets, and 53 core targets. Molecular docking showed that the active components had good binding energy with the core targets. GO analysis yielded 46 functional items and KEGG analysis yielded 15 pathways.Conclusion:Jiangtang Xiaoke Granules regulate glucose homeostasis by participating in a variety of biological processes through multiple components, and multiple targets, including affecting lipids and atherosclerosis, Alzheimer disease, AMPK signaling pathway, Apelin signaling pathway, and glucagon signaling pathway.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the application of The Problem based learning (PBL) method on teaching and researching of cardiovascular disease.Methods: Based on the characteristic of high mortality and arteriosclerosis morbidity of cardiovascular disease and typical cases reported by media repeatedly, the problems were proposed by the students, and further promote the students to think over independently and further investigate. Then the students developed a hypothesis, demonstrated it and got a conclusion.Results: PBL teaching mode can promote the learning motivation of students; improve the ability to solve problems and creativity of the students.Conclusion: In the process of The PBL teaching and training for students, it can improve the innovation ability, solving problem ability, and independent thinking ability of the students. It can lay a solid foundation for the clinical research work of students in the future.
