RESUMEN
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer with limited treatment options, especially for extensive-stage (ES) patients. We present a case of a 70-year-old male with ES-SCLC and asymptomatic brain metastasis who opted for immune monotherapy with serplulimab (an anti-PD-1 antibody). After four cycles, the patient achieved a confirmed partial response and a progression-free survival of over 1 year. Moreover, we observed a consistent decline in tumor biomarkers, and brain MRI indicated reduced metastatic activity. Remarkably, the patient tolerated the treatment well, with only mild diarrhea. This case highlights serplulimab's potential as a first-line treatment in select ES-SCLC patients, emphasizing the importance of further research on immunotherapy predictive biomarkers.
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a severe type of lung cancer that often does not have many treatment options, especially in its advanced stages. This article discusses the experience of a 70-year-old man with advanced SCLC who also had cancer spread to his brain but did not show symptoms. He chose to try a new kind of cancer treatment called serplulimab, which works by helping the immune system fight the cancer. After receiving this treatment four-times, his cancer showed significant improvement, and he did not experience further cancer growth for more than 1 year. Tests also revealed that his cancer markers decreased, and the cancer in his brain became less active. Notably, he tolerated this agent with only mild diarrhea occurring. This case is important because it suggests that serplulimab could be an effective first treatment for some patients with advanced SCLC, and it highlights the need for more research to find ways to predict who will benefit from this type of therapy.

RESUMEN
ObjectiveThe human angiotensin converting enzyme2 (hACE2) transgenic mouse model was used to clarify the antiviral efficacy of BD-77 against a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and explore the action mechanism of BD-77 against SARS-CoV-2. MethodSARS-CoV-2 Omicron and Delta variant strains-infected VeroE6 cell models were established and administered with BD-77 to observe the antiviral effect of BD-77 in vitro. A kit was used to detect the effect of BD-77 in vitro on the binding of spike S protein of SARS-CoV-2 virus (Delta/Omicron) to angiotensin converting enzyme2 (ACE2). Chromatography was adopted to detect the binding of BD-77 to the S protein and N protein of the novel coronavirus. hACE2 transgenic C57BL/6 mice were divided into a blank control group, SARS-CoV-2 infection group, BD-77 administration groups of 37.5 mg·kg-1 and 75 mg·kg-1, with eight mice in each group. The pneumonia model of SARS-CoV-2-infected hACE2 transgenic mice was built to observe the survival of the mice, detect the virus titer of the lung tissue of the mice, and observe the lesions in the lung tissue. ResultBD-77 had a certain inhibitory effect on Omicron and Delta variant strains in vitro, with median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 526.3 mg·L-1 and 653.0 mg·L-1, respectively. BD-77 had no significant inhibitory effect on the binding of the S protein of WT, Omicron, and Delta variant strains of SARS-CoV-2 to ACE2 and had no binding effect with the S protein and N protein of the novel coronavirus. No mice in the blank group died, while the mortality rate of SARS-CoV-2-infected mice was 75%. There was a large amount of virus replication in the lung tissue of the mice and large areas of inflammatory infiltration in the lung tissue and interstitium. Compared with the model group, BD-77 administration groups of 37.5 mg·kg-1 and 75 mg·kg-1 could reduce the mortality of mice, significantly lower the virus titer in the lung tissue of mice (P<0.05), and improve lung lesions. ConclusionBD-77 demonstrated significant inhibitory effects against SARS-CoV-2 virus in vitro and in vivo. However, its mechanism of action did not involve direct inhibition of the virus itself or intervention in the virus-host binding process. This finding suggests that the mechanism of action of BD-77 needs to be thoroughly investigated and elucidated by further experiments.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic effect of BD-77 by nebulized inhalation on animal models of various respiratory viral infections and investigate the mechanism of broad-spectrum antiviral action of BD-77 using proteomics. MethodThe influenza virus H1N1/FM1 experiment used ICR mice and divided them into a normal group, model group, Tamiflu group, and BD-77 groups of 75 and 37.5 g·L-1 for inhalation of 20 min and 25 min. Human coronavirus 229E and OC43 experiment divided the BALB/c mice into a normal group, model group, chloroquine phosphate group, and BD-77 groups of 75, 37.5, 18.75, and 9.375 g·L-1, with 10 mice in each group. Influenza virus H1N1/FM1 and human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 infection-induced pneumonia models were used to detect mouse lung index, and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to detect the viral load in lung tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect related inflammatory factors in lung tissue, and proteomics analysis was performed on the lung tissue of OC43-infected mice. ResultCompared with that in the normal group, the lung index of mice in each infection group was significantly increased (P<0.01), and viral nucleic acid could be detected in the lung tissue of mice infected with human coronaviruses 229E and OC43. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the lung tissue of mice infected with human coronavirus 229E were all significantly increased (P<0.01). BD-77 could significantly reduce the lung index of mice infected with influenza virus H1N1/FM1 and human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 (P<0.05, P<0.01), cut down the viral load in the lungs of mice infected with human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 (P<0.01), and lower the contents of IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α in the lung tissue of mice infected with human coronavirus 229E (P<0.01). Proteomics analysis of the lung tissue of OC43-infected mice showed that BD-77 regulated the AMPK signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, NOD-like signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway, Forkhead box protein O (FoxO) signaling pathway, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway, and other signaling pathways. ConclusionNebulized inhalation of BD-77 is effective in treating pneumonia caused by influenza virus H1N1/FM1 and human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 infection in mice and may exert its antiviral effects by regulating the balance of cellular metabolism, enhancing the immune function of the host, and attenuating inflammatory responses.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo explore host factors interacting with influenza virus nucleoprotein (NP) and study their effects on influenza virus replication, as well as the mechanism of gardenia jasminoides iridoid glycoside (IGE) in inhibiting influenza virus. MethodA yeast two-hybrid system was utilized to screen host factors that interacted with influenza virus NP. Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D0 (HNRNPD), glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase 1 (GNPDA1), poly(rC)-binding protein 1 (PCBP1), and protein inhibitor of activated signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) protein 1 (PIAS1) were validated by immunoprecipitation assay. The effects of PIAS1 and HNRNPD on influenza virus replication were compared by a dual luciferase assay, and the effects of IGE on influenza virus replication were examined in the presence of transfected ribonucleoprotein (RNP) and knockdown of PIAS1. ICR mice were randomly divided into a normal group, model group, oseltamivir phosphate group, and high, medium, and low dose IGE groups, with 10 mice in each group. In addition to the normal group, each group was infected with the influenza A virus FM1 strain by nasal drip to establish a viral pneumonia model. The high, medium, and low dose IGE groups were given drugs of 50, 25, and 12.5 mg∙kg-1 by gavage, and the oseltamivir phosphate group was given the drug of 27.5 mg∙kg-1 by gavage. Equal amounts of distilled water were instilled in the normal and model groups for four consecutive days. Later, protein expression of PIAS1, NP, phosphorylated (p)-STAT3, STAT3, p-STAT1, and STAT1 were detected in the lung tissue by Western blot. ResultIn yeast two-hybrid assays, 16 potential host targets interacting with influenza virus NP were identified. Immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that HNRNPD and PIAS1 could interact with influenza virus NP. The dual luciferase reporter assays found that both PIAS1 knockdown and overexpression significantly affected IAV RNP activity (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the effect of HNRNPD on IAV RNP was not significant. Both high and low dose IGE groups reduced influenza virus replication (P<0.05) and reversed the increase in influenza virus replication caused by the knockdown of PIAS1(P<0.05, P<0.01). The expressions of PIAS1, NP, p-STAT3, p-STAT1, and STAT1 in the lung tissue of infected mice were reduced to different degrees in each IGE group (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionPIAS1 interacts with influenza virus NP and is able to inhibit influenza virus replication. IGE may exert antiviral effects by inhibiting the activity of IAV RNP through the PIAS1/STAT1 pathway.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of Lutongning granules in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia in animal models and study its mechanism of action, so as to provide laboratory data support for the clinical application of Lutongning granules and precise treatment. MethodMale SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, carbamazepine group (0.06 g·kg-1·d-1), high-dose Lutongning group (2.70 g·kg-1·d-1), and low-dose Lutongning group (1.35 g·kg-1·d-1) according to the stratified basic mechanical pain thresholds, with 10 rats in each group. A trigeminal neuralgia model of rats was prepared by injecting 30% talc suspension into the infraorbital foramen area of the rat. The drug groups were administered 10 mL·kg-1 of drugs by gavage after 2 h of modeling. The normal group and the model group were administered distilled water by gavage under the same conditions once a day for 10 consecutive days. Von Frey brushes were used to determine the mechanical pain threshold of rats. A fully automated blood and body fluid analyzer was employed to detect the blood routine of rats. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was utilized to detect the pathological changes in the trigeminal ganglion and medulla oblongata tissue. Transmission electron microscopy was used to scan the ultrastructure of the medulla oblongata tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, neuropeptide substance P, and β-endorphins (β-EP) in the serum of rats, and Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of IL-1β, purinergic receptor P2X7 (P2X7R), and phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38 MAPK). ResultCompared with that in the normal group, the pain threshold of rats in the model group was significantly lower (P<0.01). The absolute value of neutrophils (NEUT#) and the percentage of neutrophils (NEUT) were significantly improved, and the percentage of lymphocytes (LYMPH) was significantly reduced (P<0.01). The serum levels of IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α were significantly increased (P<0.01). SP content in brain tissue was significantly increased, and β-EP content was significantly decreased (P<0.01). The relative protein expression of IL-1β, P2X7R, and p-p38 MAPK was significantly increased (P<0.05). HE staining and transmission electron microscopy results of medulla oblongata tissue revealed neuronal degeneration, mild proliferation of microglial cells, reduction in the number of myelinated nerves, and obvious demyelination. The trigeminal nerve fibers of rats were disarranged, and some nerve fibers showed vacuolization. Axons were swollen, and Schwann cells proliferated. Demyelination was observed. Compared with the model group, each administration group significantly increased the pain threshold of rats (P<0.05, P<0.01), reduced NEUT# and NEUT, and elevated LYMPH (P<0.05, P<0.01). The administration group significantly decreased the levels of IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α in serum and SP in brain tissue (P<0.01) and increased the level of β-EP (P<0.01). They significantly down-regulated the protein expression of IL-1β, P2X7R, and p-p38 MAPK(P<0.05, P<0.01) and significantly ameliorated the pathological changes in medulla oblongata tissue and trigeminal nerves of rats. ConclusionLutongning Granules had significant therapeutic effects on trigeminal neuralgia induced by injection of talc into the infraorbital foramen of model rats, and the mechanism may be related to amelioration of P2X7R-mediated neuroinflammation and inhibition of demyelination of myelinated nerves.

RESUMEN
Objective:To summarize the electrophysiological characteristics of neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) and explore the value of electrophysiological examination in NIID auxiliary diagnosis.Methods:Twenty NIID patients diagnosed by pathological biopsy and genetic confirmation (15 were symptomatic, 5 were asymptomatic), admitted to Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from February 2020 to June 2022 were chosen. Peripheral motor/sensory nerve conduction, needle electromyography, F wave, repetitive electrical stimulation, skin sympathetic reflex (SSR), and tremor were analyzed. Peripheral nerve conduction and SSR parameters were compared between 15 patients with symptomatic NIID (symptomatic NIID group) and 11 age- and gender-matched normal control subjects (control group).Results:(1) All 15 patients with symptomatic NIID were with abnormal electrophysiological findings: 14 patients had abnormal peripheral nerve conduction, including 14 with slowed motor nerve conduction velocity (MCV), 4 with reduced composite muscle action potential (cMAP) wave amplitude, 12 with slowed sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV), and 3 with reduced sensory nerve action potential (sNAP) wave amplitude, and overall slowed nerve conduction velocity and relatively preserved wave amplitude were noted; 4 patients had neurogenic lesions by needle electromyography; 13 patients had prolonged F-wave latency at varied degrees; 12 showed abnormal SSR; 4 exhibited synchronous tremor from 4.0 to 7.5 Hz. (2) In 5 patients with asymptomatic NIID, 3 had abnormal peripheral nerve conduction, including 3 with slowed MCV, 2 with slowed SCV, and 1 with reduced sNAP wave amplitude; 3 showed abnormal SSR. (3) Significant differences in MCV and SCV, some cMAP and sNAP amplitudes, and SSR latency and amplitude were noted in nerves of the upper and lower extremities between the symptomatic NIID group and control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Peripheral nerve damages are common in patients with NIID, especially myelin damage and autonomic nerve injury, and some patients may have electrophysiological abnormalities before clinical symptoms; therefore, peripheral nerve conduction and SSR can be recommended as auxiliary screening tools for NIID.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES@#To study the effect of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) of group B streptococcus (GBS) infection on the incidence and bacteriological profile of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS).@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical data of 494 pregnant women with positive GBS screening results and 526 neonates born by these women. According to whether the pregnant woman received IAP, the neonates were divided into two groups: IAP (n=304) and control (n=222). The two groups were compared in terms of clinical indices, incidence rate of EONS, and distribution of pathogenic bacteria in blood culture.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the control group, the IAP group had a significantly lower proportion of children with abnormal clinical manifestations (P<0.001) and a significantly lower incidence rate of EONS (P=0.022). In the IAP group, Escherichia coli (2.3%) was the most common type of pathogenic bacteria in blood culture of the neonates with EONS, while GBS (3.2%) was the most common type of pathogenic bacteria in the control group. The IAP group had a significantly higher detection rate of ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli than the control group (P=0.029).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Although IAP can significantly reduce the incidence rate of EONS in neonates born to pregnant women with positive GBS screening results, the infection rate of ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli may increase after IAP treatment. Therefore, it is needed to enhance the monitoring of blood culture results of neonates with EONS and timely adjust treatment plan according to drug susceptibility test results.

Objective By making biomechanical analysis of double poling (DP) technique on uphill terrain used by Chinese male cross-country (XC) skiers, to characterize biomechanical differences in DP for skiers at different levels, and determine the influence from motion techniques of skiers on their sports performance. Methods Twenty-four male XC skiers who participated in the 15 km classical race at the Beishan ski resort in Jilin, China, on Sept. 11-12, 2019 were selected in this study. On the basis of their race performance, they were divided into faster skiing group (n=12) and slower skiing group (n=12). The kinematic variables of the skiers were obtained by three-dimensional (3D) shooting, and the differences in cycle characteristics, action phases and key technique variables for skiers in two groups were analyzed. Results Faster skiers had a faster DP velocity. There was a positive correlation between swing distance and velocity. The swing distance was positively correlated with average angular velocity of elbow extension in poling phase, average angular velocity of shoulder extension in swing phase, and range of motion (ROM) of shoulder abduction. The swing distance was negatively correlated with extension of the elbow in poling phase. All the above variables showed statistical differences between faster and slower skiers. Conclusions For a long distance competition, the difference in DP velocity on uphill terrain was mainly casued by the difference in swing distance, which originated from the swing phase. Faster skier had a longer swing distance. The differences in the swing distance came mainly from the shoulder and elbow joints. Therefore, slower XC skiers in China should strengthen muscle strength of the upper limbs, especially the shoulder and elbow joint strength. More forward body leaning and larger hip and knee flexion angle at pole plant might help the skier to cover more distance.

The clinical features of direct and indirect CCFs were compared.Results:A total of 31 patients were enrolled in the study, 29 (93.5%) had ocular symptoms, of which conjunctival hyperemia and edema ( n=24, 77.4%), exophthalmos ( n=19, 61.3%) and orbital murmur ( n=18, 58.1%) were most common. There were 23 patients (74.2%) in direct CCF group and 8 (25.8%) in indirect CCF group. The former had more history of head trauma (78.2% vs. 12.5%; P=0.002), more flow volume (high-flow CCFs: 100% vs. 37.5%; P<0.001) and more likely to cause orbital murmur (69.6% vs. 25.0%; P=0.043). Endovascular embolization was safe and effective. The common methods of endovascular embolization were EVAL glue combined with coil embolization ( n=18, 66.7%) and detachable balloon embolization alone ( n=6, 22.2%). Conclusion:Ocular manifestations are most prominent in patients with CCFs. Direct CCF is more common, usually with a history of head trauma, and the clinical and imaging features are more typical. Interventional embolization is the preferred treatment option for patients with CCF.
RESUMEN
The surveys of the number of TCM ancient books, the bibliography classification methods, the bibliography publication, the bibliography network sharing and access, the evaluation of the classification method of subject bibliography on TCM ancient books and the relevant opinions and suggestions were sent to 30 TCM libraries and 24 comprehensive libraries in China. The questionnaires’ data and responses were analyzed, in order to understand the classification methods of TCM ancient books, the use situation, and the needs in the classification and cataloging work. The results showed that compared with the comprehensive libraries, the collection of TCM ancient books were concentrated in TCM libraries, the classification methods for TCM libraries were seldomly reported, and the classification methods were mainly self-compiled. Thus, the uniformity of the classification methods was poor, and there was also a significant gap in the standardization of the bibliography arrangement in TCM libraries. The result recommended that the domestic library industry urgently needed a unified and standardized classification for TCM ancient books. It was significant for promoting the sharing and exchange of TCM ancient books, promoting the standardization process of TCM information, and promoting the efficient implementation of Zhonghua Yizang compilation project.
RESUMEN
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common chronic respiratory disease in premature infants, whose diagnosis is primarily based on the presence of oxygen dependence in the clinical setting.BPD could be caused by a variety of etiologies and present different clinical manifestations and prognosis.The omics study of BPD could faci-litate the understanding of its pathogenesis and provide clues to discover novel targets for BPD treatment.In this paper, the current progress in the study of BPD was introduced, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiomics of BPD.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the signs and diagnostic value of transabdominal ultrasound of pregnant women with placenta accreta.Methods:The clinical data of 140 pregnant women with placenta previa who received regular prenatal examination between August 2015 and August 2019 in Lishui City People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical and pathological results were used as the gold standard for clinical diagnosis of placenta accreta. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of transabdominal ultrasound in the diagnosis of placenta accreta were evaluated. The included 140 women were divided into observation (75 women with placenta previa complicated by placenta accreta) and control (65 women with placenta previa not complicated by placenta accreta) groups. The difference in ultrasonic signs was compared between the two groups.Results:The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of transabdominal ultrasound in the diagnosis of placenta accreta were 93.33% (70/75), 93.84% (61/65) and 93.57% (131/140), respectively. The incidences of placental thickening, disappearance of retroplacental space, uneven echo in placenta, abundant blood vessels at the interface between uterine serosa and bladder, and focal or extensive intraplacental blood flow in the observation group were 92.00% (69/75), 52.00% (39/75), 82.66% (62/75), 60.00% (45/75) and 50.66% (38/75), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [32.30% (21/65), 29.23% (19/65), 30.76% (20/65), 35.38% (23/65), 27.69% (18/65), χ2 = 54.041, 7.439, 38.650, 8.446 and 7.658, all P < 0.05]. The score of ultrasonic sign in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( Z = 10.656, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Transabdominal ultrasound examination can provide information to help screen placenta accreta in patients with placenta previa. Transabdominal ultrasound is of great significance for clinical diagnosis of placenta accreta.
