The occurrence of malignant tumors is closely related to the ministerial fire. The variant ministerial fire is the fundamental factor of the formation of cancer toxin, and ministerial fire dislocation and hyperactivity are the basis for the generation of variant ministerial fire. When the ministerial fire cannot keep its position or moves without restraint, burning and exuberant, the variant ministerial fire comes out. Under the guidance of the theory of ministerial fire, the basic treatment methods to differentiate and treat malignant tumors are the direct repulsion of variant ministerial fire, and the regulation of dislocated and hyperactive ministerial fire. The method of clearing heat and resolving toxins is often used, taking a large amounts of bitter and cold herbs to reduce variant ministerial fire. For ministerial fire dislocation, ministerial fire depletion, true yang insufficiency, and the ministerial fire failing to rely on, it is common to have symptoms of upper heat and lower cold, for which the treatment method is to benefit the source of the fire, and Modified Yinhuo Decoction (引火汤加减) is commonly used. For insufficient true yin and lack of support for ministerial fire, it is suggested to nourish kidney essence, and the medicinals of enriching yin and boosting kidney are commonly used. In terms of ministerial fire hyperactivity, the treatment method should be nourishing the heart and calming the mind, and Jiaotai Pills (交泰丸) is often used to clear heart and clam the mind, and return fire to its origin. At the same time, methods such as regulating qi, resolving phlegm, clearing fire, and dispelling stasis are used to clear away tangible pathogens, so that the ministerial fire acts in a controlled manner and keeps its position and destiny.

Epigenetic therapies that cause genome-wide epigenetic alterations, could trigger local interplay between different histone marks, leading to a switch of transcriptional outcome and therapeutic responses of epigenetic treatment. However, in human cancers with diverse oncogenic activation, how oncogenic pathways cooperate with epigenetic modifiers to regulate the histone mark interplay is poorly understood. We herein discover that the hedgehog (Hh) pathway reprograms the histone methylation landscape in breast cancer, especially in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This facilitates the histone acetylation caused by histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and gives rise to new therapeutic vulnerability of combination therapies. Specifically, overexpression of zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 1 (ZIC1) in breast cancer promotes Hh activation, facilitating the switch of H3K27 methylation (H3K27me) to acetylation (H3K27ac). The mutually exclusive relationship of H3K27me and H3K27ac allows their functional interplay at oncogenic gene locus and switches therapeutic outcomes. Using multiple in vivo breast cancer models including patient-derived TNBC xenograft, we show that Hh signaling-orchestrated H3K27me and H3K27ac interplay tailors combination epigenetic drugs in treating breast cancer. Together, this study reveals the new role of Hh signaling-regulated histone modifications interplay in responding to HDAC inhibitors and suggests new epigenetically-targeted therapeutic solutions for treating TNBC.

Objective:To compare the clinical effect of surgical treatment of congenital preauricular fistulas in children during the local infection period and static inflammatory period. Methods:Forty children with congenital preauricular fistula infection treated in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the experimental group, and 39 children with congenital preauricular fistula inflammation at static period were selected as the control group. The fistula of the two groups of children aged between 1-14 years old was located in front of the foot of the ear wheel or the foot of the ear wheel, and all were unilateral fistulas. The postoperative follow-up was 6 months to 2 years, and the efficacy of the two groups was compared. Results:There was no significant difference in the healing rate of stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ between the two groups(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in fistula recurrence rate and satisfaction with the preauricular scar between the two groups after treatment(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative hospital stay between the experimental group and the control group(P>0.05). Conclusion:The effect of surgical treatment of congenital preauricular fistula in the infected period is similar to that of surgical treatment in the static period of inflammation, and it can reduce the pain of dressing change under local anesthesia in children, avoid the second operation in children, and reduce the economic cost. This treatment method is worthy of clinical promotion. Appropriate incision and resection method were designed according to the fistula and infection sites.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic degenerative disease, and its condition tends to worsen with age. The pathogenesis of OA is complex, and many risk factors can lead to the occurrence of OA. Iron is one of the essential trace elements in the body, and its metabolic balance is extremely important to human health. Iron overload is closely related to the occurrence and development of OA. Excessive iron deposition in joint tissue can easily lead to lesions of articular cartilage and synovium, as well as affect subchondral bone reconstruction and lead to the occurrence of OA. The author reviewed the relevant research literature in recent years, and reviewed the mechanism of iron overload in the occurrence and development of OA, in order to provide new ideas and directions for the research and diagnosis and treatment of OA.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of miR-133b on the apoptosis and radiosensitivity of colon cancer cell line (SW620 cells), and to explore its mechanism.Methods:SW620 cells were transfected with miR-con (miR-con group), miR-133b mimics (miR-133b group), si-con (si-con group) and si-HER-2(si-HER-2 group) by the liposome method, and then irradiated with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 Gy. The miR-133b protein expression, HER-2 protein expression, apoptosis, cell survival fraction and cytofluoroactivity in each group were evaluated by qRT-PCR, Western blot, flow cytometry, colony formation assay and dual luciferase reporter gene assay, respectively.Results:Compared with the pre-irradiation group, the expression level of miR-133b was significantly down-regulated ( P<0.05), whereas that of HER-2 was significantly up-regulated in SW620 cells after irradiation ( P<0.05). Overexpression of miR-133b and knockdown of HER-2 remarkably reduced the survival fraction (both P<0.05), and significantly promoted the apoptosis of SW620 cells ( P<0.05). miR-133b could considerably inhibit the fluorescent activity of wild-type HER-2 cells ( P<0.05) and negatively regulate the expression of HER-2 protein. Conclusion:miR-133b can inhibit the survival of colon cancer cells, promote the apoptosis and enhance the sensitivity of radiotherapy probably via the mechanism of targeting HER-2.

Objective:To investigate the application value of combined detection of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) and thromboxane B 2 (TXB 2) in the prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Methods:The clinical data of 136 patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction who received treatment in Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital, China between February 2018 and September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were assigned to MACE group ( n = 33) and no MACE group ( n = 103) according to whether MACE occurred. The basic data was compared between the two groups. Serum levels of HIF-1α, NT-proBNP and TXB 2 prior to PCI were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to investigate the application value of combined detection of serum HIF-1α, NT-proBNP and TXB 2 levels in the prediction of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction after PCI. Results:At 6 months after PCI, MACE occurred in 33 out of 136 patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction, with the incidence of 24.26%. There were no significant differences in age, sex and accompanied diseases between MACE and no MACE groups (all P > 0.05). Serum HIF-1α level in the MACE group was significantly lower than that in the no MACE group [(31.54 ± 5.26) ng/L vs. (37.18 ± 6.94) ng/L, t = 4.286, P < 0.05]. Serum levels of NT-proBNP and TXB 2 in the MACE group were (1 246.83 ± 243.71) μg/L and (125.13 ± 20.16) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the no MACE group [(876.92 ± 173.04) μg/L, (95.73 ± 18.24) ng/L, t = 9.617, 7.835, both P < 0.05]. ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cutoff values of serum HIF-1α, NT-proBNP and TXB 2 levels in the prediction of MACE occurrence in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction after PCI were 32.67 ng/L, 1 018.27 μg/L and 112.19 ng/L, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of serum HIF-1α, NT-proBNP and TXB 2 levels in the prediction of MACE occurrence in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction after PCI were 69.70% (23/33) and 98.06% (101/103), respectively. The specificity of the combined detection of serum HIF-1α, NT-proBNP and TXB 2 levels was higher than that of detection of serum HIF-1α, NT-proBNP or TXB 2 level alone. The area under the curve (AUC) plotted regarding the prediction of MACE occurrence in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction after PCI by combined detection of serum HIF-1α, NT-proBNP and TXB 2 levels was 0.901, which was significantly higher than the AUC obtained for detection of serum HIF-1α, NT-proBNP or TXB2 level alone ( Z = 2.007, 1.991 and 2.217, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Combined detection of serum HIF-1α, NT-proBNP and TXB 2 levels exhibits a higher value in the prediction of MACE occurrence in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction after PCI than detection of serum HIF-1α, NT-proBNP or TXB 2 level alone.
