RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) is an innovative way of gene expression modulation, which plays a crucial part in neoplasia. However, the intricacy and behavioral characteristics of the ceRNA network in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain dismal. AIM: To establish a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A)-related ceRNA network and recognize potential prognostic indicators for HCC. METHODS: The mutation landscape of CDKN2A in HCC was first explored using the cBioPortal database. Differential expression analysis was implemented between CDKN2Ahigh and CDKN2Alow expression HCC samples. The targeted microRNAs were predicted by lncBasev3.0, and the targeted mRNAs were predicted by miRDB, and Targetscan database. The univariate and multivariate analysis were utilized to identify independent prognostic indicators. RESULTS: CDKN2A was frequently mutated and deleted in HCC. The single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that CDKN2A participated in cell cycle pathways. The CDKN2A-related ceRNA network-growth arrest specific 5 (GAS5)/miR-25-3p/SRY-box transcription factor 11 (SOX11) was successfully established. GAS5 was recognized as an independent prognostic biomarker, whose overexpression was correlated with a poor prognosis in HCC patients. The association between GAS5 expression and methylation, immune infiltration was explored. Besides, traditional Chinese medicine effective components targeting GAS5 were obtained. CONCLUSION: This CDKN2A-related ceRNA network provides innovative insights into the molecular mechanism of HCC formation and progression. Moreover, GAS5 might be a significant prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in HCC.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of noninvasive therapies in the treatment of central poststroke pain (CPSP) by network meta-analysis and to provide an evidence-based basis for clinical practice. METHODS: PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP were searched for clinical randomized controlled studies on noninvasive therapy for CPSP. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of each database to July 2022. The bias risk assessment tool recommended by Cochrane was used to evaluate the quality of the included randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Stata 14.0 was used for network meta-analysis, and Review Manager 5.3 software was used for traditional meta-analysis. RESULTS: Twelve RCTs involving 8 treatment schemes and 641 patients were finally included. The results of the network meta-analysis showed the following rankings in visual analysis scale (VAS): super laser injury on stellate ganglia (SLI) > transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) > music therapy (MT) > repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) > continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) > transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) > common therapy (CT). The total clinical efficiency ranked as follows: psychological training of mindfulness (PT) > rTMS > CT. Clinical adverse reactions ranked as follows: rTMS > MT > CT > SLI. CONCLUSIONS: Noninvasive complementary therapy can effectively alleviate the pain of CPSP patients, and the efficacy and safety of SLI are relatively significant. However, due to the limitations of this study, the efficacy ranking cannot fully explain the advantages and disadvantages of clinical efficacy. In the future, more multicentre, large sample, double-blind clinical randomized controlled trials are needed to supplement and demonstrate the results of this study.

RESUMEN

To scientifically evaluate the intervention effect of Chinese medicine preventive administration(combined use of Huo-xiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid and Jinhao Jiere Granules) on community population in the case of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19), a large cohort, prospective, randomized, and parallel-controlled clinical study was conducted. Total 22 065 subjects were included and randomly divided into 2 groups. The non-intervention group was given health guidance only, while the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) intervention group was given two coordinated TCM in addition to health guidance. The medical instructions were as follows. Huoxiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid: oral before meals, 10 mL/time, 2 times/day, a course of 5 days. Jinhao Jiere Granules: dissolve in boiling water and take after meals, 8 g/time, 2 times/day, a course of 5 days, followed up for 14 days, respectively. The study found that with the intake of medication, the incidence rate of TCM intervention group was basically maintained at a low and continuous stable level(0.01%-0.02%), while the non-intervention group showed an overall trend of continuous growth(0.02%-0.18%) from 3 to 14 days. No suspected or confirmed COVID-19 case occurred in either group. There were 2 cases of colds in the TCM intervention group and 26 cases in the non-intervention group. The incidence of colds in the TCM intervention group was significantly lower(P<0.05) than that in the non-intervention group. In the population of 16-60 years old, the incidence rate of non-intervention and intervention groups were 0.01% and 0.25%, respectively. The difference of colds incidence between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05). In the population older than 60 years old, they were 0.04% and 0.21%, respectively. The incidence of colds in the non-intervention group was higher than that in the intervention group, but not reaching statistical difference. The protection rate of TCM for the whole population was 91.8%, especially for the population of age 16-60(95.0%). It was suggested that TCM intervention(combined use of Huoxiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid and Jinhao Jiere Granules) could effectively protect community residents against respiratory diseases, such as colds, which was worthy of promotion in the community. In addition, in terms of safety, the incidence of adverse events and adverse reactions in the TCM intervention group was relatively low, which was basically consistent with the drug instructions.

RESUMEN

In order to explore the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndromes and medications in patients with colonic malignant tumors in China, the clinical data of patients with colonic malignant tumors from the information system of 33 Grade-A tertiary hospitals in China from 2001 to 2016 were extracted and a descriptive analysis was conducted on their disease characteristics, syndrome distribution, drug characteristics and treatment status. A total of 22 691 patients with colonic malignancies nationwide were included in the analysis, with male to female ratio of 1.59∶1, median age of 62 years, susceptible age of 50-79 years. Postoperative patients with colonic malignant tumors accounted for 47.10%, and patients with liver metastases reached 36.02%. Among the 520 patients with colonic malignant tumors, the top three TCM syndromes were: spleen deficiency syndrome(21%), Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome(17%) and liver and stomach disharmony syndrome(15%). The most frequently used Western medicine for patients with colonic malignant tumors was anti-metabolite cytotoxicity(61.23%), most frequently used in combination with platinum-based cytotoxic drugs(support degree 42.40%).The top three Western medicines were oxaliplatin(42.26%), leucovorin injection(38.58%) and dexamethasone(34.67%). The most frequently used traditional Chinese medicine type was heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs(39.59%), most frequently used in combination with Qi replenishing and body resistance strengthening drugs(support degree 12.72%). The top three traditional Chinese medicines were compound Kushen Injection(14.62%), Shenqi Fuzheng Injection(10.18%) and Aidi Injection(6.48%). This study shows that spleen and Qi deficiency may be the dominant syndrome of colonic malignant tumor, and chemotherapy is one of the main treatment methods. Traditional Chinese medicine has shown unique advantages in alleviating the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy and preventing recurrence and metastasis, so integrated TCM and Western medicine can significantly improve the clinical efficacy.

RESUMEN

Electroacupuncture at select acupoints have been verified to protect against organ dysfunctions during endotoxic shock. And, heme oxygenase (HO)-1 as a phase II enzyme and antioxidant contributed to the protection of kidney in septic shock rats. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathway mediated the activation of NF-E2 related factor-2 (Nrf2), which was involved in HO-1 induction. To understand the efficacy of electroacupuncture stimulation in ameliorating acute kidney injury (AKI) through the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 pathway and subsequent HO-1 upregulation, a dose of LPS 5mg/kg was administered intravenously to replicate the rabbit model of AKI induced by endotoxic shock. Electroacupuncture pretreatment was handled bilaterally at Zusanli and Neiguan acupoints for five consecutive days while sham electroacupuncture at non-acupoints as control. Results displayed that electroacupuncture stimulation significantly alleviated the morphologic renal damage, attenuated renal tubular apoptosis, suppressed the elevated biochemical indicators of AKI caused by LPS, enhanced the expressions of phospho-Akt, HO-1protein, Nrf2 total and nucleoprotein, and highlighted the proportions of Nrf2 nucleoprotein as a parallel. Furthermore, partial protective effects of elecroacupuncture were counteracted by preconditioning with wortmannin (the selective PI3K inhibitor), indicating a direct involvement of PI3K/Akt pathway. Inconsistently, wortmannin pretreatment made little difference to the expressions of HO-1, Nrf2 nucleoprotein and total protein, which indicated that PI3K/Akt may be not the only pathway responsible for electroacupuncture-afforded protection against LPS-induced AKI. These findings provide new insights into the potential future clinical applications of electroacupuncture for AKI induced by endotoxic shock instead of traditional remedies.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of integrative Chinese and Western medical therapy for radiative pneumonia (RP). METHODS: Eighty patients were randomly assigned to two groups. The treated group (48 patients) was treated by Shenqi Fuzheng Injection (SFI), antibiotics and short-term pulse therapy with high efficient hormone, while the control group (32 patients) was treated only by antibiotic and hormone pulse therapy. Changes of symptoms, signs, quality of life and subsets of T-lymphocytes (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio) were observed before and after 20-day treatment. RESULTS: The chief symptom disappearance time was shorter (P < 0.05), Karnofsky performance score was better (P < 0.05) in the treated group after treatment as compared with those in the control group. Moreover, the immune function was improved in the treated group after treatment (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: SFI combined with antibiotics and short-term pulse therapy with high efficient hormone has a good effect for radiative pneumonia, it could also increase patients' quality of life as well.
