RESUMO

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism and pathway of Gandou Fumu decoction (GDFMD) in the development of liver fibrosis in Wilson's disease (WD). MethodFirst, 30 TX-j mice were randomly divided into the model group, high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose GDFMD groups, and penicillamine group, with six mice in each group, and another six wild-type mice were used as the normal group. The high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose GDFMD groups were intragastrically administered drugs of 13.92, 6.96, 3.48 g·kg-1. In the penicillamine group, 0.1 g·kg-1 of penicillamine was given by intragastric administration. The model group and the normal group were given equal volume of normal saline, once a day, for four consecutive weeks. Samples were collected four weeks after gavage, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect type Ⅲ procollagen peptide (PCⅢ), collagen type Ⅳ (Col Ⅳ), hyaluronic acid (HA), and laminin (LN). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE), Masson, and picric acid-Sirus red collagen (Sirus Red) staining were used to observe the histopathological changes of liver fibrosis. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), immunohistochemistry, and Western blot were used to observe the expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and collagen type Ⅰ (Col Ⅰ), which were related to the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). The expression of miR-29b-3p was observed by Real-time PCR. The expression of Unc-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1) and its downstream-related factors were observed by Western blot. The downstream genes of miR-29b-3p were verified by the dual luciferase reporter gene detection method. ResultCompared with the normal group, the four items of liver fibrosis (PCⅢ, Col Ⅳ, HA, and LN) in the model group were significantly abnormal (P<0.01), and the pathology was significantly abnormal. The expression of HSC activation-related indicators including α-SMA and Col Ⅰ, as well as α-SMA mRNA and Col Ⅰ mRNA was up-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and miR-29b-3p expression was down-regulated (P<0.01). ULK1, p-ULK1, autophagy-related gene 13 (Atg13), p-Atg13, Beclin-1, FAK family kinase-interacting protein of 200 kDa (FIP200), activating molecule in BECN1-regulated autophagy protein 1 (AMBKA1), and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ/Ⅰ(LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ) were up-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). p62 protein expression was down-regulated (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the four items of liver fibrosis in the high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose GDFMD groups and the penicillamine group were significantly improve (P<0.01), and the pathological conditions were improved. The expression of HSC activation-related indicators including α-SMA and Col Ⅰ, as well as α-SMA mRNA and Col Ⅰ mRNA was down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the expression of miR-29b-3p was up-regulated (P<0.01). ULK1, p-ULK1, Atg13, p-Atg13, Beclin-1, FIP200, AMBKA1, and LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ were down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and p62 protein expression was up-regulated (P<0.01). The prediction software predicted that there was a binding site between miR-29b-3p and ULK1. The dual-luciferase reporter gene detection method indicated that the luciferase activity of the ULK1-WT plasmid-transfected cell group was reduced when miR-29b-3p mimics were co-cultured (P<0.01). ConclusionGDFMD can regulate ULK1-mediated autophagy by up-regulating miR-29b-3p and further exert its anti-hepatic fibrosis effect in Wilson's disease.

RESUMO

Wilson's disease (WD) is a copper metabolism disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, with diverse phenotypes and complex pathogenesis. It is one of the few rare diseases that can achieve good clinical efficacy through standardized treatment. Since there are few systematic reviews of this disease, we summarize the pathogenesis and treatment methods of WD from traditional Chinese and western medicine by reviewing the literature related to WD. In western medicine, ATP7B gene mutation is considered as the root cause of WD, which affects copper transport and causes copper metabolism disorders. The excessive copper deposited in the body will result in oxidative stress, defects in mitochondrial function, and cell death. Western medicine treatment of WD relies mainly on drugs, and copper antagonists are the first choice in clinical practice, which are often combined with hepatoprotective and antioxidant therapy. Surgery is a common therapy for the patients with end-stage WD, and gene therapy provides an option for WD patients. According to the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, WD is rooted in constitutional deficiency and copper accumulation and triggered by dampness-heat accumulation or phlegm combined with stasis. The patient syndrome varies in different stages of the disease, and thus the treatment should be based on syndrome differentiation. The TCM treatment method of nourishing the liver and kidneys and warming the spleen and kidneys can address the root cause. The methods of clearing heat and drying dampness, resolving phlegm and dispelling stasis, and soothing liver and regulating qi movement can be adopted to treat symptoms. On the basis of syndrome differentiation, special prescriptions for the treatment of WD have been formulated, such as Gandou decoction, Gandouling, and Gandou Fumu decoction, which have been widely used in clinical practice. TCM and western medicine have their own advantages and shortcomings. The integrated Chinese and western medicine complementing with each other demonstrates great therapeutic potential. This paper summarizes the pathogenesis and treatment of WD with integrated Chinese and western medicine, aiming to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

RESUMO

In this study, we designed and synthesized 12 novel aloperine derivatives with different core structures. Among them, compound 3 with a ten-membered ring core was obtained through a special ring expansion reaction after γ-H Huffman elimination of quaternary ammonium salt, and the structure was verified by X-single crystal diffraction. Furthermore, their antiviral activity against human β-coronavirus HCoV-OC43 was evaluated by CCK-8 assay. Quaternary ammonium salt 2a and 3 had a good inhibitory effect against HCoV-OC43, and 2a had the highest anti-HCoV-OC43 activity with an EC50 values of 3.77 μmol·L-1 and a SI value of over 53.1. Schrӧdinger molecular docking results showed that both 2a and 3 might display their anti-HCoV-OC43 activity by directly acting on host TMPRSS2 and SR-B1. The results expanded the structural types of endocyclic aloperine and the function against coronavirus, and provided useful scientific data for the development of pharmaceutical applications of these compounds.

RESUMO

Based on the strategy of metabolomics combined with bioinformatics, this study analyzed the potential allergens and mechanism of pseudo-allergic reactions (PARs) induced by the combined use of Reduning injection and penicillin G injection. All animal experiments and welfare are in accordance with the requirements of the First Affiliated Experimental Animal Ethics and Animal Welfare Committee of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (approval number: YFYDW2020002). Based on UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology combined with UNIFI software, a total of 21 compounds were identified in Reduning and penicillin G mixed injection. Based on molecular docking technology, 10 potential allergens with strong binding activity to MrgprX2 agonist sites were further screened. Metabolomics analysis using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology revealed that 34 differential metabolites such as arachidonic acid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes were endogenous differential metabolites of PARs caused by combined use of Reduning injection and penicillin G injection. Through the analysis of the "potential allergen-target-endogenous differential metabolite" interaction network, the chlorogenic acids (such as chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, and isochlorogenic acid A) and β-lactam allergens in the combination of the two may be mainly regulated by PLD1, PLA2G12A and CYP1A1. The three upstream signal target proteins mainly activate the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway, promote the degranulation of mast cells, release downstream endogenous inflammatory mediators, and induce PARs.

RESUMO

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Qigesan (QGS) in intervening in the migration and invasion of esophageal carcinoma TE-1 cells. MethodMicroarray technology was used to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the normal group and the QGS group, and the ontological functions and signaling pathways of DEGs were analyzed. The thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to detect the effect of QGS on the viability of TE-1 cells. In the subsequent experiments for verification, a blank group, a transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) group, a TGF-β1 + QGS group, and a TGF-β1 + SB431542 group were set up. The cell morphology in each experimental group was observed by microscopy. The migration and invasion abilities of cells were detected by wound healing assay, and the mRNA expression levels of E-Cadherin, vimentin, Smad2, and Smad7 were detected by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The protein expression of E-Cadherin, vimentin, p-Smad2/3, Smad2/3, and Smad7 was detected by Western blot. ResultThere were 1 487 DEGs between the QGS group and the blank group, including 1 080 down-regulated ones (accounting for 72.63%) and 407 up-regulated ones. The down-regulated genes were mainly involved in biological processes such as cytoskeletal protein binding, ATP binding, adenylate nucleotide binding, and adenylate ribonucleotide binding, and the involved Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways included TGF-β signaling pathway, cell cycle, extracellular matrix-receptor interaction protein, tumor pathways, and oocyte meiosis. The up-regulated genes were mainly involved in RNA binding, DNA binding, transcriptional regulator activity, transcriptional activator activity, and nucleotide binding, and the KEGG pathways involved mainly included mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, bladder cancer, renal cell carcinoma, cancer pathways, and p53 signaling pathway. Compared with the blank group, the inhibition rate of cell viability of TE-1 cells increased after QGS (20, 30, 40, 60, 80 mg·L-1) intervention for 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 h (P<0.05), and the inhibition rate was time- and dose-dependent. Compared with the blank group, the TGF-β1 group showed lengthened cells with fibroblast phenotype. Compared with the TGF-β1 group, the TGF-β1 + QGS group showed shortened cells with normal morphology and epithelial phenotype. The cell morphology in the TGF-β1 + SB431542 group was similar to that of the TGF-β1 + QGS group. Compared with the blank group, the TGF-β1 group showed potentiated ability of cell migration and invasion (P<0.05). Compared with the TGF-β1 group, the TGF-β1 + QGS group and the TGF-β1 + SB431542 group showed inhibited and weakened migration and invasion abilities of cells (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in migration and invasion abilities between the TGF-β1 + QGS group and the TGF-β1 + SB431542 group. The mRNA expression levels of vimentin and Smad2 in the TGF-β1 group were higher (P<0.05), and the mRNA expression levels of E-Cadherin and Smad7 were lower (P<0.05) than those in the blank group. Compared with the TGF-β1 group, the TGF-β1 + QGS group and the TGF-β1+ SB431542 group exhibited decreased expression levels of vimentin and Smad2 mRNA (P<0.05), and elevated expression levels of E-Cadherin and Smad7 mRNA (P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, the TGF-β1 group showed up-regulated protein expression levels of vimentin, p-Smad2/3, and Smad2/3 (P<0.05), and reduced protein expression levels of E-Cadherin and Smad7 (P<0.05). Compared with the TGF-β1 group, the TGF-β1 + QGS group and the TGF-β1 + SB431542 group displayed decreased protein expression levels of vimentin, p-Smad2/3, and Smad2/3 (P<0.05), and increased protein expression levels of E-Cadherin and Smad7 (P<0.05). ConclusionThe ethyl acetate extract of QGS inhibits the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of TE-1 cells through the TGF-β1 pathway to reduce the migration and invasion of TE-1 cells.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with rare type heart disease.@*METHODS@#A pedigree identified at Shenzhen Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University on July 9, 2021 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data were collected. Trio-whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out for the proband and his parents. Candidate variants were validated by Sanger sequencing of his family members and bioinformatic analysis.@*RESULTS@#The proband, a 5-month-old male, was found to have Barth syndrome (dilated myocardiopathy and left ventricular non-compaction). Trio-WES revealed that he has harbored a hemizygous c.542G>A (p.G181A) variant of the TAZ gene, which was inherited from his mother. In addition, his mother, aunt and maternal grandmother were also found to harbor a c.557G>A (p.R186Q) variant of the TNNI3 gene. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the c.542G>A (p.G181A) variant of the TAZ gene was classified as likely pathogenic (PS2_Strong+PM2_Supporting+PP3), whilst the c.557G>A (p.R186Q) variant of the TNNI3 gene was classified as pathogenic (PP1_Strong+PS4_Strong+PP3+PP4+PM2_Supporting).@*CONCLUSION@#The c.542G>A (p.G181A) variant of the TAZ gene probably underlay the Barth syndrome in the proband, and the c.557G>A (p.R186Q) variant of the TNNI3 gene may be responsible for the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in his mother, aunt and maternal grandmother. Above finding has expanded the mutational spectrum of the TAZ gene and facilitated the diagnosis of this pedigree.

RESUMO

Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( ALS ) often have difficulty in expressing their intentions through language and behavior, which prevents them from communicating properly with the outside world and seriously affects their quality of life. The brain-computer interface (BCI) has received much attention as an aid for ALS patients to communicate with the outside world, but the heavy device causes inconvenience to patients in the application process. To improve the portability of the BCI system, this paper proposed a wearable P300-speller brain-computer interface system based on the augmented reality (MR-BCI). This system used Hololens2 augmented reality device to present the paradigm, an OpenBCI device to capture EEG signals, and Jetson Nano embedded computer to process the data. Meanwhile, to optimize the system's performance for character recognition, this paper proposed a convolutional neural network classification method with low computational complexity applied to the embedded system for real-time classification. The results showed that compared with the P300-speller brain-computer interface system based on the computer screen (CS-BCI), MR-BCI induced an increase in the amplitude of the P300 component, an increase in accuracy of 1.7% and 1.4% in offline and online experiments, respectively, and an increase in the information transfer rate of 0.7 bit/min. The MR-BCI proposed in this paper achieves a wearable BCI system based on guaranteed system performance. It has a positive effect on the realization of the clinical application of BCI.

RESUMO

Pediatric acute hyperextension spinal cord injury (SCI) named as PAHSCI by us, is a special type of thoracolumbar SCI without radiographic abnormality and highly related to back-bend in dance training, which has been increasingly reported. At present, it has become the leading cause of SCI in children, and brings a heavy social and economic burden. Both domestic and foreign academic institutions and dance education organizations lack a correct understanding of PAHSCI and relevant standards, specifications or guidelines. In order to provide standardized guidance, the expert team formulated this guideline based on the principles of science and practicability, starting from the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, etiology, admission evaluation, treatment, complications and prevention. This guideline puts forward 23 recommendations for 14 related issues.

RESUMO

Objective: To construct and verify a light-weighted convolutional neural network (CNN), and explore its application value for screening the early stage (subcategory 0/1 and stage Ⅰ of pneumoconiosis) of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) from digital chest radiography (DR) . Methods: A total of 1225 DR images of coal workers who were examined at an Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Institute in Anhui Province from October 2018 to March 2021 were retrospectively collected. All DR images were collectively diagnosed by 3 radiologists with diagnostic qualifications and gave diagnostic results. There were 692 DR images with small opacity profusion 0/- or 0/0 and 533 DR images with small opacity profusion 0/1 to stage Ⅲ of pneumoconiosis. The original chest radiographs were preprocessed differently to generate four datasets, namely 16-bit grayscale original image set (Origin16), 8-bit grayscale original image set (Origin 8), 16-bit grayscale histogram equalized image set (HE16) and 8-bit grayscale histogram equalized image set (HE8). The light-weighted CNN, ShuffleNet, was applied to train the generated prediction model on the four datasets separately. The performance of the four models for pneumoconiosis prediction was evaluated on a test set containing 130 DR images using measures such as the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and Youden index. The Kappa consistency test was used to compare the agreement between the model predictions and the physician diagnosed pneumoconiosis results. Results: Origin16 model achieved the highest ROC area under the curve (AUC=0.958), accuracy (92.3%), specificity (92.9%), and Youden index (0.8452) for predicting pneumoconiosis, with a sensitivity of 91.7%. And the highest consistency between identification and physician diagnosis was observed for Origin16 model (Kappa value was 0.845, 95%CI: 0.753-0.937, P<0.001). HE16 model had the highest sensitivity (98.3%) . Conclusion: The light-weighted CNN ShuffleNet model can efficiently identify the early stages of CWP, and its application in the early screening of CWP can effectively improve physicians' work efficiency.

RESUMO

This study investigated the effect of Gualou Xiebai Decoction on rats with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. The rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, a low-dose Gualou Xiebai Decoction group(2.4 g·kg~(-1)), a high-dose Gualou Xiebai Decoction group(4.8 g·kg~(-1)), and pirfenidone group(150 mg·kg~(-1)). The model of pulmonary fibrosis was established by intratracheal instillation of bleomycin in all groups, except the control group. Since the second day of modeling, the corresponding drugs were given to rats by intragastric administration, once a day for 14 d and 28 d. The hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to evaluate the degree of inflammatory injury in lung tissues. The immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of CD68 and CD163 in lung tissues of rats. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-10(IL-10) in serum and brochoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The expression of pyroptosis-related genes in lung tissues of rats was detected by qRT-PCR. The results of HE staining and immunofluorescence staining showed that the lung tissue structure was normal in the control group. In addition, there were alveolar collapse or even closure in lung tissues of rats in the model group, with obvious inflammatory cell infiltration, and the expression of CD68 and CD163 was significantly up-regulated. As compared with the model group, the lung tissue structure of rats in the Gualou Xiebai Decoction groups was significantly improved, with alleviated inflammation, and the expression of CD68 and CD163 was decreased. As compared with the control group, the level of TNF-α in serum and BALF of rats in the model group was significantly increased(P<0.01), the mRNA expression levels of alpha smooth muscle actin(α-SMA), collagen type Ⅰ alpha 1 chain(Col1a1), caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18, gasdermin D(Gsdmd), and NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3) in lung tissues were significantly increased(P<0.05, P<0.01), and the mRNA expression level of E-cadherin was significantly decreased(P<0.01). As compared with the model group, the level of TNF-α in serum and BALF was significantly down-regulated in the high-dose Gualou Xiebai Decoction group(P<0.05, P<0.01), and that of IL-10 was up-regulated(P<0.05, P<0.01). The mRNA expression levels of α-SMA, Col1a1, caspase-1, IL-18, Gsdmd, NLRP3 and IL-1β in lung tissues were significantly decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01) in the high-dose Gualou Xiebai Decoction group, and the mRNA expression level of E-cadherin was significantly increased(P<0.05, P<0.01). In conclusion, Gualou Xiebai Decoction can down-regulate the levels of inflammatory factors and related genes and effectively mitigate pulmonary fibrosis by regulating the pyroptosis pathways.

RESUMO

Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of fight/mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and UNIFI were employed to rapidly determine the content of the components in Liangxue Tuizi Mixture. The targets of the active components and Henoch-Schönlein purpura(HSP) were obtained from SwissTargetPrediction, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM), and GeneCards. A "component-target-disease" network and a protein-protein interaction(PPI) network were constructed. Gene Ontology(GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed for the targets by Omishare. The interactions between the potential active components and the core targets were verified by molecular docking. Furthermore, rats were randomly assigned into a normal group, a model group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose Liangxue Tuizi Mixture groups. Non-targeted metabolomics was employed to screen the differential metabolites in the serum, analyze possible metabolic pathways, and construct the "component-target-differential metabolite" network. A total of 45 components of Liangxue Tuizi Mixture were identified, and 145 potential targets for the treatment of HSP were predicted. The main signaling pathways enriched included resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K-AKT), and T cell receptor. The results of molecular docking showed that the active components in Liangxue Tuizi Mixture had strong binding ability with the key target proteins. A total of 13 differential metabolites in the serum were screened out, which shared 27 common targets with active components. The progression of HSP was related to metabolic abnormalities of glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid. The results indicate that the components in Liangxue Tuizi Mixture mainly treats HSP by regulating inflammation and immunity, providing a scientific basis for rational drug use in clinical practice.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND@#Stroke is the leading cause of death in China, and predicting the stroke burden could provide essential information guiding the setting of medium- and long-term health policies and priorities. The study aimed to project trends associated with stroke burden in China through 2050, not only in terms of incidence and mortality but also for prevalence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).@*METHODS@#Data on stroke rates in incidence, prevalence, deaths, and DALYs in China between 1990 and 2019 were obtained from a recent Global Burden of Disease study. Demographic-specific trends in rates over time were estimated using three models: the loglinear model, the Lee-Carter model, and a functional time series model. The mean absolute percentage error and the root mean squared error were used for model selection. Projections up to 2050 were estimated using the best fitting model. United Nations population data were used to project the absolute numbers through 2050.@*RESULTS@#From 2019 to 2050, the crude rates for all measures of the stroke burden are projected to increase continuously among both men and women. We project that compared with those in 2019, the incidence, prevalence, deaths, and DALYs because of stroke in China in 2050 will increase by 55.58%, 119.16%, 72.15%, and 20.04%, respectively; the corresponding increases in number were 2.19, 34.27, 1.58, and 9.21 million. The age-standardized rate is projected to substantially decline for incidence (8.94%), death (40.37%), and DALYs (43.47%), but the age-standardized prevalence rate is predicted to increase by 10.82%. By 2050, the burden of stroke among the population aged ≥65 years will increase significantly: by 104.70% for incidence, by 218.48% for prevalence, by 100.00% for death, and by 58.93% for DALYs.@*CONCLUSIONS@#With the aging population in China increasing over the next three decades, the burden of stroke will be markedly increased. Continuous efforts are needed to improve stroke health care and secondary prevention, especially for older adults.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Forsythia suspensa ethanol extract on the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung cancer cells NCI-H226. METHODS As research objects, lung cancer cells NCI-H226 were divided into control group, F. suspensa ethanol extract low-, medium- and high-concentration groups (5, 10, 20 mg/mL), activator group [10 mg/mL F. suspensa ethanol extract+0.5 μmol/L nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway activator PMA], inhibitor group (10 mg/mL F. suspensa ethanol extract+10 μmol/L NF-κB signaling pathway inhibitor BAY 11-7082) and positive control group (20 μg/mL cisplatin). Except for the control group of cells without intervention, all other groups of cells were cultured with corresponding drugs for 24 hours; the proliferation, migration and invasion of cells were all detected, and the proliferation rate, migration rate, and the number of invading cells were also calculated; protein expressions of NF-κB p65, NF-κB inhibitory protein α (IκBα), phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65) and phosphorylated IκBα (p-IκBα) were determined. RESULTS Compared with control group, the proliferation rate, migration rate, and the number of invading cells as well as the protein expressions of p- IκBα and p-NF-κB p65 were decreased significantly in F. suspensa ethanol extract groups and positive control group (P<0.05). Compared with F. suspensa ethanol extract medium-concentration group, the proliferation rate, migration rate, and the number of invading cells as well as above protein expressions were all decreased significantly in inhibitor group (P<0.05), while those of activator group were increased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS F. suspensa ethanol extract can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung cancer cells NCI-H226, and the mechanism of which may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway.

RESUMO

Existing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-related databases are still insufficient in data standardization, integrity and precision, and need to be updated urgently. Herein, an Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine version 2.0 (ETCM v2.0, http://www.tcmip.cn/ETCM2/front/#/) was constructed as the latest curated database hosting 48,442 TCM formulas recorded by ancient Chinese medical books, 9872 Chinese patent drugs, 2079 Chinese medicinal materials and 38,298 ingredients. To facilitate the mechanistic research and new drug discovery, we improved the target identification method based on a two-dimensional ligand similarity search module, which provides the confirmed and/or potential targets of each ingredient, as well as their binding activities. Importantly, five TCM formulas/Chinese patent drugs/herbs/ingredients with the highest Jaccard similarity scores to the submitted drugs are offered in ETCM v2.0, which may be of significance to identify prescriptions/herbs/ingredients with similar clinical efficacy, to summarize the rules of prescription use, and to find alternative drugs for endangered Chinese medicinal materials. Moreover, ETCM v2.0 provides an enhanced JavaScript-based network visualization tool for creating, modifying and exploring multi-scale biological networks. ETCM v2.0 may be a major data warehouse for the quality marker identification of TCMs, the TCM-derived drug discovery and repurposing, and the pharmacological mechanism investigation of TCMs against various human diseases.

RESUMO

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury, are essential causes of death and long-term disability and are difficult to cure, mainly due to the limited neuron regeneration and the glial scar formation. Herein, we apply extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by M2 microglia to improve the differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) at the injured site, and simultaneously modify them with the injured vascular targeting peptide (DA7R) and the stem cell recruiting factor (SDF-1) on their surface via copper-free click chemistry to recruit NSCs, inducing their neuronal differentiation, and serving as the nanocarriers at the injured site (Dual-EV). Results prove that the Dual-EV could target human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs), recruit NSCs, and promote the neuronal differentiation of NSCs in vitro. Furthermore, 10 miRNAs are found to be upregulated in Dual-M2-EVs compared to Dual-M0-EVs via bioinformatic analysis, and further NSC differentiation experiment by flow cytometry reveals that among these miRNAs, miR30b-3p, miR-222-3p, miR-129-5p, and miR-155-5p may exert effect of inducing NSC to differentiate into neurons. In vivo experiments show that Dual-EV nanocarriers achieve improved accumulation in the ischemic area of stroke model mice, potentiate NSCs recruitment, and increase neurogenesis. This work provides new insights for the treatment of neuronal regeneration after CNS injuries as well as endogenous stem cells, and the click chemistry EV/peptide/chemokine and related nanocarriers for improving human health.

RESUMO

Using chemoproteomic techniques, we first identified EIF2AK2, eEF1A1, PRDX3 and VPS4B as direct targets of berberine (BBR) for its synergistically anti-inflammatory effects. Of them, BBR has the strongest affinity with EIF2AK2 via two ionic bonds, and regulates several key inflammatory pathways through EIF2AK2, indicating the dominant role of EIF2AK2. Also, BBR could subtly inhibit the dimerization of EIF2AK2, rather than its enzyme activity, to selectively modulate its downstream pathways including JNK, NF-κB, AKT and NLRP3, with an advantage of good safety profile. In EIF2AK2 gene knockdown mice, the inhibitory IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18 and TNF-α secretion of BBR was obviously attenuated, confirming an EIF2AK2-dependent anti-inflammatory efficacy. The results highlight the BBR's network mechanism on anti-inflammatory effects in which EIF2AK2 is a key target, and inhibition of EIF2AK2 dimerization has a potential to be a therapeutic strategy against inflammation-related disorders.

RESUMO

Endoscopic stent implantation is one of the main methods for the treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases. At present, the commonly used biliary and pancreatic stents are mainly plastic and metal stents which are still have some deficiencies in clinical applications, and the emergence of the new type of biodegradable polymer materials is expected to achieve the purpose of treatment to overcome these shortcomings. It is a potential hope to break through the bottleneck of endoscopic treatment of choleopancreatic diseases. Previous animal experiments and human clinical studies have preliminarily shown its safety and effectiveness, which can effectively solve some problems of bile and pancreatic duct stenosis and so on. Biodegradable polymer stents have been widely studied, but their clinical application progress is slow and not yet popular, and it has gradually become a research hotspot in recent years . This article discusses the research status and development direction of biodegradable polymer stents in biliary and pancreatic diseases.

RESUMO

Objective:To investigate the application of diagnostic criteria for common occupational radiation-induced diseases to radiation workers, in order to provide a basis for the revision, publicity and standardization of the standards.Methods:Radiation workers were selected from 1 city, 7 provinces and 1 corporation by using cluster random sampling method from January 2021 to May 2021. Awareness of the criteria and the effects of ionizing radiation, and the suggestions for diagnostic works were investigated and analyzed.Results:A total of 2 839 radiation workers were investigated. There were differences in the awareness of different diagnostic criteria, the inclusions in complex diagnostic criteria, the materials required for applying for diagnosis, and the ways of knowing the diagnostic criteria( χ2=416.06, 2 924.14, 83.45, 895.67, 815.94, P<0.001). The correct understanding rates of deterministic effects and stochastic effects were 80.63% and 43.64%, respectively. The acceptance rates in applicable materials were 96.79% for occupational exposure history, 94.72% for occupational health monitoring records and 93.55% for individual monitoring of occupational exposure, respectively. Pre-employment training rate was 80.20%, on-job training rate was 81.19%, and untrained rate was 3.77%. The suggestions to the diagnosis of occupational radiation-induced diseases are to strengthen training, pay attention to individual monitoring, occupational health examination, and strengthen health supervision and law enforcement. Conclusions:Radiation workers have a low awareness rate of certain diagnostic standards and a high awareness rate of diagnostic procedures. Publicity and training of health effects of ionizing radiation and diagnostic criteria of occupational radiation-induced diseases should be strengthened. Diagnostic procedure should be optimized.

RESUMO

There are differences and inconsistencies to some degree in the radioactive contamination control level of personnel′s body surface availiable in many national standards, thus puzzling the users. Therefore, it is proposed to compare the applicable scope, conditions and differences between relevant national standards, and combine with similar clinical nuclear medicine standards of radiological protection content to presevent recommendations on the contamination control level that should be correctly applied in an event of nuclear and radiological emergency. Based on the discussion of similar standards, the contaminated personnel with α of 0.04-10 Bq/cm 2 and β of 0.4-100 Bq/cm 2 are advised to be treated in the institutions with higher than secondary medical insititution. Both α econtamination control levels less than 0.04 Bq/cm 2 and β levels less than 0.4 Bq/cm 2 could be achivable, if fully decontaminated.
