Biological Connotation of Pathogenesis of Colorectal Cancer Due to Damp-heat Accumulation Based on Immune Response-intestinal Microbial Axis / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Colorectal cancer （CRC） is a malignant tumor of the intestinal tract with changes in bowel habits， blood in the stool， and pain as the main clinical manifestations. With the change in lifestyle and diet structure in recent years， the incidence of CRC has been increasing year by year. The pathogenesis of CRC is closely related to abnormal immune response and chronic inflammation， intestinal microbial dysbiosis， and the production of oncogenic metabolites. There is a two-way communication between the intestinal microbiota and the body's immunity， which not only plays a key role in maintaining the body's health but also has a close relationship with the development of diseases. An increasing number of studies have shown that abnormal immune responses accelerate the disease process by producing inflammatory factors， causing chronic inflammation in the body， disrupting the intestinal mucosal barrier， and increasing mucosal permeability， thus resulting in dysbiosis of the intestinal microbial ecology and a large number of pathogenic microorganisms and their metabolites. In addition， dysbiosis of intestinal microbes， by suppressing the normal immune response， leads to the disruption of multiple metabolic pathways in the body， affecting the internal and external stress response of the intestine， inducing inflammation， and thus producing disease. Therefore， the complex crosstalk mechanism between the immune response and intestinal microbial axis is closely related to the development of CRC. Based on traditional Chinese medicine theory and clinical research， it was found that dietary factors are an important causative factor in the development of CRC. The deficiency of positive energy is the root cause of the disease， and damp-heat accumulation is the key pathogenesis. Through modern medical and biological research， it is believed that abnormal immune response is the microscopic manifestation of damp-heat entrapment， while intestinal microbial dysbiosis is the biological basis of toxic injection into the large intestine， and in the pathogenesis of CRC， the imbalance of immune response-intestinal microbial axis is compatible with damp-heat accumulation in traditional Chinese medicine. This study aims to explore the biological connotation of CRC due to damp-heat accumulation from the immune response-intestinal microbial axis， so as to interpret the pathogenesis of CRC due to damp-heat accumulation with objective data and provide new ideas and theoretical basis for the pathogenesis and treatment strategies of CRC due to damp-heat accumulation.

Preparation modification strategies for clinical treatment drugs of Parkinson's disease / 药学学报

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. At present, levodopa and other drugs are mainly used for dopamine supplementation therapy. However, the absorption of levodopa in the gastrointestinal tract is unstable and its half-life is short, and long-term use of levodopa will lead to the end-of-dose deterioration, dyskinesia, the "ON-OFF" phenomenon and other symptoms. Therefore, new preparations need to be developed to improve drug efficacy, reduce side effects or improve compliance of patients. Based on the above clinical needs, this review briefly introduced the preparation modification strategies for the treatment of PD through case analysis, in order to provide references for the research and development of related preparations.

Predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in adult severe tetanus / 中华传染病杂志

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for adult severe tetanus by comparing the NLR in patients with severe and mild tetanus.Methods:A total of 65 adult tetanus patients from the Linyi Central Hospital from January 2009 to December 2020 were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups including mild group and severe group according to the Ablett classification. The general conditions, laboratory data, and NLR of patients in two group were retrospectively compared using independent samples t test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used for the analysis of risk factors for severe tetanus. Spearman correlation method was used for the analysis of the correlation between risk factors and Ablett grades. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used for the evaluation of the predictive value. Results:Among the 65 tetanus cases, 34 was in mild group and 31 in severe group. The latency period of patients in severe group was (7.00±3.19) d, which was shorter than that in mild group ((9.18±2.59) d), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.03, P=0.004). The NLR of patients in severe group was 4.251±1.936, which was higher than that of mild group (2.533±1.026) , and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.41, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NLR and latency period were independent risk factors for tetanus severity (odds ratio ( OR)=2.359, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.415 to 3.934, P=0.001 and OR=0.748, 95% CI 0.599 to 0.936, P=0.011, respectively). In tetanus patients, the NLR level was positively correlated with Ablett grade ( r=0.644, P<0.001). The ROC curve showed that NLR had good predictive value for adult severe tetanus at a cut-off value of 2.471 (area under the curve (AUC)=0.787), with the sensitivity and specificity of 87.1% and 61.8%, respectively. When combining NLR with latency period (cut-off value of 7.5 d), predictive efficiency was further improved (AUC=0.832) with the sensitivity of 87.1% and specificity of 67.6%( Z=3.43, P<0.001). Conclusions:NLR has a good predictive value for adult severe tetanus, and the predictive efficiency is further improved when combined with latency period.

Research Progress of Signaling Pathways Related to Treatment of Colorectal Cancer with Chinese Medicine： A Review / 中国实验方剂学杂志

The occurrence and development of colorectal cancer as a complex disease involves the abnormality of multiple signaling pathways. Chinese medicine regulates a variety of biological processes such as tumor cell differentiation， cell proliferation， apoptosis， cell metastasis， cell cycle， and tumor angiogenesis to prevent the occurrence of colorectal cancer （inflammation-cancer transformation）， tumor metastasis （common metastases of colorectal cancer include liver metastasis， lung metastasis， bone metastasis， and lymphatic metastasis）， and multidrug resistance induced by chemotherapy， treat primary tumors， and mitigate the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy. The pathways of Chinese medicine in the treatment of colorectal cancer have been intensively studied. The available studies have demonstrated that Patrinia villosa Juss and Pien Tze Huang can regulate the Notch pathway to inhibit the growth of colorectal cancer cells. Curcumin and Quyu Jiedu decoction regulate Hippo pathway to inhibit the survival， proliferation， invasion， and migration of colorectal cancer cells. Kujin tea and luteolin suppress the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells and protect intestinal barrier by regulating Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein-1 （Keap1）/nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/antioxidant response element （ARE） pathway. Icariin and ginkgolide C can regulate hepatocyte growth factor （HGF）/cellular-mesenchymal to epithelial transition factor （c-Met） pathway to induce apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells and prevent liver metastasis of colorectal cancer. Verbascoside and apigenin regulate p53 protein to promote apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells， reverse thymidylate synthase （TS）， and alleviate the multidrug resistance of colorectal cancer. Resveratrol and lycopene regulate insulin-like growth factor （IGF）/insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 （IGF1R） pathway to inhibit cancer cell metastasis and prolong disease-free survival. Cordycepin and Galla Chinensis water extract activate AMP-activated protein kinase （AMPK） pathway to inhibit the migration and invasion of cancer cells as well as the lung metastasis of colorectal cancer. The above summary aims to provide reference for the in-depth research on the treatment of colorectal cancer with Chinese medicine and inspire new research ideas.

Psychological burden prediction based on demographic variables among infertile men with sexual dysfunction / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

There has been increasing interest in the psycho-socio-relational and sexual disorders of infertility, as the risk of psychological burden among infertile men with sexual dysfunctions is significant. The purpose of this study was to develop and to validate a predictive model to estimate individual psychological burden among infertile men with sexual dysfunction and study the association between them. Comprehensive data were collected for infertile men (n = 480) who sought treatment for infertility in a reproductive medicine center between June 2012 and December 2013. Using independent predictors of psychological burden from the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, univariable and multivariable analyses were developed into two models. Predictive accuracy was compared between the models. We explored the association between sexual dysfunction and psychological burden. A total of 480 patients were analyzed using 10-fold cross-validation. Independent predictors of psychological burden were incorporated into a model to measure anxiety (corrected-area under curve (AUC): 77.3%) and a model to measure depression (corrected-AUC: 70.2%). Anxiety and depression were both associated with erectile dysfunction (P < 0.05), with anxiety demonstrating the strongest association. Only anxiety was associated with premature ejaculation (P < 0.05). Premature ejaculation was not found to be associated with depression (P > 0.05). Predictive models for psychological burden among infertile men with sexual dysfunction are presented, and we found that there is an association between psychological burden and sexual dysfunction. According to the models, proper counseling and treatment of sexual dysfunction in infertile men may reduce the psychological burden, help attain natural pregnancy, and improve the quality of life.

A novel experience of deferential vessel-sparing microsurgical vasoepididymostomy / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

Microsurgical longitudinal intussusception vasoepididymostomy (LIVE) has been widely used to treat epididymal obstructive azoospermia since 2004. Although the deferential vasculature plays an important role in supplying blood to the testis and epididymis, little attention has been paid to the potential benefits of sparing the deferential vessels during the anastomosis in LIVE. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of deferential vessel-sparing LIVE in humans. From December 2013 to December 2015, 69 azoospermic men with epididymal obstruction due to a genital infection, trauma, or idiopathic factors underwent deferential vessel-sparing LIVE in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China. The outcomes of these patients were analyzed retrospectively. The mean age was 31.1 years for men and 28.3 years for their partners. Fifty-nine (85.5%, 59/69) men were followed up after surgery for approximately 16 months. Patency was noted and confirmed by semen analysis (>10 000 sperm/ml) in 83.1% (49/59) of men. The natural pregnancy rate was 40.7% (24/59) by the end of the study, with 87.5% (21/24) of these natural pregnancies achieved within 12 months after surgery. No severe adverse events or complications were observed. In this study, we present a novel technique for sparing the deferential vessels during LIVE. The preliminary outcomes show this technique to be safe with favorable patency and pregnancy rates.
