目的 通过网络药理学的方法进行预测，再深一步进行动物实验验证来研究柴胡疏肝散治疗CAG的作用机制。方法 首先在TCMSP数据库中检索柴胡疏肝散的所有活性成分与药物靶点；通过收集PharmGkb、OMIM、GeneCards和DrugBank数据库中收录的慢性萎缩性胃炎的相关靶点。将药物靶点与疾病靶点进行映射筛选出交集靶点，将得到的交集靶点构建PPI网络与活性成分-共同靶点网络，并对其进行GO和KEGG富集分析。最后利用Vina软件进行分子对接实验验证，并通过免疫印迹法验证柴胡疏肝散对两种受体蛋白EGFR和STAT1的影响。结果 最终筛选得到柴胡疏肝散活性成分104个，潜在靶点238个，与慢性萎缩性胃炎的交集靶点52个；GO与KEGG富集分析分别得到2166条目和148条目，主要涉及到JAK-STAT信号通路、TNF信号通路、HIF-1信号通路等；分子对接结果显示EGFR、STAT1两个靶点能够与核心活性成分能够自发结合成较为稳定的构像；免疫印迹法实验证明柴胡疏肝散能够降低大鼠胃黏膜组织EGFR和STAT1蛋白表达。结论 通过网络药理学和实验验证，发现柴胡疏肝散可能通过调节EGFR和STAT1蛋白表达来共同调控胃黏膜细胞增殖与凋亡，进而发挥着治疗慢性萎缩性胃炎的效果，为深入进行柴胡疏肝散治疗慢性萎缩性胃炎的作用机制研究提供新思路和新方法。     

Proteomic Profiling of Small Extracellular Vesicles Isolated from the Plasma of Vietnamese Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Reveals Some Potential Biomarkers

Background: Considering the poor prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the objective of this study was to examine the potential of plasma-derived vesicles as a source of lung cancer-specific proteins. Extracellular vesicle (EV) cargos are specific to the source cells, hence they have the potential of being a source of cancer-specific proteins.  Methods: The proteins differently expressed in cancer were determined and derived from EVs isolated from the plasma of NSCLC patients at the National Lung Hospital. To this end, purification was done using gel filtration chromatography and ultracentrifugation. In addition, nano liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) was used for analyzing. Results: Fifty-seven EV-derived proteins related to NSCLC were highlighted in this research. Some of them have not been addressed before, such as EEF1A1 (elongation factor 1-α1), KPNB1 (Importin subunit beta 1), SRC (proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase) and ACTC1 (actin, alpha cardiac muscle 1). This list was further confirmed through a comparison with ExoCarta and Vesiclepedia. Conclusion: This study is the first work to show the involvement of several novel proteins of small EV (EEF1A1, KPNB1, SRC, and ACTC1) in the progression of NSCLC. The results suggested that they could serve as novel biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancer in the future.     

口服异维A酸治疗痤疮的研究

口服异维A酸是目前临床上最为有效的抗痤疮药物,可同时作用于痤疮发病的4个主要环节。异维A酸在皮脂腺细胞内独特的分子作用机制使其具有强大的抑制皮脂腺分泌活性,近来其对痤疮免疫和炎症反应的拮抗作用也越来越受到重视。口服异维A酸主要用于治疗结节囊肿型重度痤疮以及其他治疗效果不好的中、重度寻常痤疮,使用剂量应根据患者的体重、疗效、依从性及不良反应进行综合判定。小剂量[0.25~0.5 mg/(kg·d)]治疗可以显著降低药物的不良反应及增加患者依从性;累积剂量达60~120 mg/kg可以明显降低痤疮复发率。异维A酸不良反应大多以皮肤黏膜为主要表现,严重不良反应罕见,致畸是其最严重的不良反应。口服异维A酸能快速改善痤疮皮损,有效预防痤疮瘢痕形成,改善患者生活质量。     

输尿管支架管结壳患者尿液菌群的分布特点

目的探讨输尿管支架管结壳患者尿液菌群的分布特点。方法选取2018年10月至2019年3月在山东省立第三医院、山东大学齐鲁医院、济南市中心医院和济南市济钢医院就诊的35例输尿管支架管置入术后患者。纳入标准:年龄18~65岁;输尿管镜碎石术后留置内支架管4周。排除标准:尿液细菌培养阳性;严重肉眼血尿;近期口服抗生素;存在明显残石患者。本研究采用横断面研究方法(临床研究注册号为ChiCTR1800020025),根据有无支架管结壳将患者分为结壳组23例和无结壳组12例。收集拔管当日患者尿液行细菌16s DNA检测。使用UPARSE、UCHIME和RDP calssifier等软件分析两组患者尿液菌群分布特点,明确两组患者尿液中细菌种类总数、细菌丰度,以及丰度占比较大的细菌类别,比较两组患者尿液细菌种类、数量及细菌丰度的差异,明确结壳组患者尿液中丰度占比较大的细菌菌属。结果两组患者的年龄、性别、体质指数、置管侧别、内支架管型号及结石成分差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。16s DNA检测结果显示,结壳组丰度占比>1%的菌属数量为11个,丰度占比>0.01%的菌属数量为74个;无结壳组丰度占比>1%的菌属数量为7个,丰度占比>0.01%的菌属数量为11个,两组丰度占比>1%的菌属数量比较差异有统计学意义(t=5.12,P=0.000)。结壳组中菌属丰度占比前3位分别为乳杆菌属(23.1%)、拟杆菌属(18.8%)和未分级拟杆菌属(17.1%),非结壳组中菌属丰度占比前3位分别是为埃希菌-志贺菌属(32.2%)、肠球菌属(24.9%)和假单胞菌属(18.2%)。两组间差异最大的3种细菌是乳杆菌属(P=0.010),拟杆菌属(P=0.004)和未分级拟杆菌属(P=0.004)。结论支架管结壳患者尿液中细菌种类和数量都明显多于非支架管结壳患者。拟杆菌属细菌在支架管结壳患者尿液中的细菌种类丰度较大。

Quantile regression and empirical likelihood for the analysis of longitudinal data with monotone missing responses due to dropout,with applications to quality of life measurements from clinical trials

The analysis of quality of life (QoL) data can be challenging due to the skewness of responses and the presence of missing data. In this paper, we propose a new weighted quantile regression method for estimating the conditional quantiles of QoL data with responses missing at random. The proposed method makes use of the correlation information within the same subject from an auxiliary mean regression model to enhance the estimation efficiency and takes into account of missing data mechanism. The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator have been studied and simulations are also conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed estimator. The proposed method has also been applied to the analysis of the QoL data from a clinical trial on early breast cancer, which motivated this study.     

Clinicopathologic significance of LAIR-1 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma

Aim

Leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1) is an immune inhibitory receptor which is expressed within most types of hematopoietic cells and negatively regulates immune responses. Recently, we found LAIR-1 expression to be present within tumors of nonhematopoietic lineages. However, the roles of LAIR-1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have yet to be examined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of LAIR-1 in HCC tissue and assess its clinical significance at this site.
