Methods: Six-week-old male RhoE gene knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) Sprague Dawley rats were injected intraperitoneally with streptozotocin (70 mg/kg) to establish the type 1 diabetes model (T1DM), with injection of the same amount of sodium citrate saline as the control group. A week later, the fasting blood glucose of the rats was measured daily, and blood glucose concentration 16.7 mmol/L was regarded as a successful model. Two additional weeks later, the hearts of the rats in each group were removed and four-dimensional label-free quantitative proteomics technology (4D-LFQ) was used to analyze the changes of protein profiles in the heart tissue. The related functions, enrichment signals, and protein-protein interaction network (PPI) of the differentially expressed proteins were analyzed. Results: T1DM rat models were successfully established. Taking a fold change > 1.5 and P < 0.05 as the threshold, a total of 2931 quantifiable proteins were identified. In the non-diabetic state, the KO group had 26 and 45 significantly up- and downregulated proteins, respectively, compared with the WT group; in the diabetic state, the KO group had 19 and 28 significantly up- and downregulated proteins, respectively, compared with the WT group. The GO annotation results showed that most of the differentially expressed proteins were located in the extracellular matrix, and their biological functions were mainly concentrated in the immune response and energy metabolism. KEGG analysis showed that the signaling pathways associated with the differentially expressed proteins in cardiac tissue after RhoE knockout were mainly related to ribosomes and fat digestion and absorption. Protein interaction network analysis showed that in the cardiac tissue of the KO group, there were more Col1α1- and Col1α2-interacting proteins among the upregulated proteins, and among the down-regulated proteins, related proteins involved in the ribosomal pathway interact more in the network. Conclusion: RhoE knockout significantly changes the protein expression profiles in diabetic cardiac tissue, affecting multiple signaling pathways closely related to diabetic cardiomyopathy. The results provide insights into the pathogenesis and therapeutic target screening of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Methods: The SFTSV mini-genome system was used to screen drugs with inhibitory effect on SFTSV replication and transcription, and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of each drug was calculated by drug concentration gradient inhibition experiment. Drugs were used to pre-incubate with virus and then incubate with cells, to incubate with virus and cells simultaneously, to incubate with cells after virus invading into cells, or to incubate during the whole infection process, and then qRT-PCR was used to measure the viral RNA copies in the culture supernatant. These experiments were performed to quantitatively determine the inhibition effects of drugs on SFTSV indifferent stages of the whole process including virion stability, entry and post-entry stages, so as to clarify the inhibition mechanism of these drugs. Results: Four drugs including Mycophenolate mofetil, Mycophenolic acid, Nitazoxanide, and Vidofludimus were identified having efficient inhibitory effects on SFTSV RNA replication via minigenome system, with the IC50 of 0.014 µmol/L, 0.627 µmol/L, 1.283 µmol/L, and 0.059 µmol/L, respectively. All four drugs showed effective inhibition when adding during the whole SFTSV infection process as well as the post-entry stage. Conclusion: Mycophenolate mofetil, Mycophenolic acid, Nitazoxanide and Vidofludimus show efficient anti-viral effects on SFTSV infection.

Methods: Among the 40 female SD rats, 10 were randomly selected as the blank group, and the rest were immunized with pig thyroglobulin and Freund's adjuvant combined with high iodine feeding to make the EAT model. After the model was established, they were randomly divided into three groups: the model group, the selenium yeast tablet group and the Fuzheng Xiaoying Decoction group, which were continuously gavaged for 2 months. The anti thyroid autoantibodies, thyroid function, IL-38 and Th17/Treg distribution were measured. The pathological changes of thyroid tissue were observed by HE staining. Results: Compared with the blank group, the levels of TPOAb and TGAb in the model group were significantly higher(P<0.05). Lymphocyte infiltration was seen in the thyroid tissue of the model group,and also the thyroid follicles were partially destroyed, the shape was irregular, and the colloid distribution was uneven, indicating that the modeling was successful. Compared with the model group, the levels of TPOAb and TGAb in the selenium yeast tablet group and the Fuzheng Xiaoying Decoction group decreased significantly(P<0.05). And the Fuzheng Xiaoying Decoction group had more significant improvement in thyroid follicle destruction and lymphocyte infiltration than the selenium yeast tablet group (P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, the levels of T3, T4, FT3 and FT4 in the model group increased, the level of IL-38 decreased, the proportion of Th17 increased, and the ratio of Th17/Treg increased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, T4 level decreased, IL-38 level increased in the selenium yeast tablet group and the Fuzheng Xiaoying Decoction group(P<0.05).But there was no statistically significant difference in the reduction of Th17 proportion and Th17/Treg ratio between the above two groups and the model group (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in Treg ratio among the groups. Conclusion: Fuzheng Xiaoying Decoction can significantly reduce the level of anti thyroid autoantibodies in EAT rats by regulating the immunity of EAT rats, and improve the follicular destruction and lymphocyte infiltration of thyroid tissue in rats.

Method: Collecting differentially expressed genes in silicosis patients through literature mining; Collecting differentially expressed genes in silicon dioxide infusion mice by using a high-throughput gene expression database (GEO); Obtaining disease targets related to silicosis by means of online human Mendelian genetic database (OMIM), GeneCards and comparative toxicgenomics database (CTD); differentially expressed genes and disease targets were subjected to gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) enrichment analysis via R-package and Metascape platforms, respectively. The Schrödinger and Pymol software were used for molecular docking and modification. Silicon dioxide-stimulated macrophages and epithelial cells were modeled and analyzed by PCR and western blot (WB). Result: 2065 differentially expressed genes in silicosis patients, 2291 differentially expressed genes in rat infused with silicon dioxide, and 803 targets for silicosis-related diseases were screened out. GO enrichment analysis mainly involves G protein-coupled receptor binding, the regulation of inflammatory response, and participation in immune response. The enrichment analysis of KEGG pathway mainly included ECM-receptor interaction, TNF signaling pathway, and IL-17 signaling pathway. IL-17 signaling pathway was screened out from different genes and disease targets, indicating that IL-17 signaling pathway might be the key pathway for the development of silicosis. Molecular docking results showed that the silicosis drug tetrandrine had good binding effect with the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway in the IL-17 signaling pathway. Cellular experiments showed that tetrandrine reduced the expression of inflammatory factors such as IL-6 and TGF-β in macrophages by regulating the RAF/MEK/ERKpathway, and inhibited the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and expression of inflammatory factors in epithelial cells. Conclusion: Tetrandrine regulates the inflammatory response and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway and thus affects the early progression of silicosis.

Methods: Human mononuclear cells (THP-1) at logarithmic growth stage were induced into M1-type macrophages, and RA synovial fibroblasts M1-type macrophages were co-cultured into synovial macrophages. Synovial macrophages were divided into four groups :RA group (blank group), TGF-β1 group (model group) and miR145-5P overexpression group (TGF-β1+ miR145-5P mimics group) and miR145-5P overexpression negative control group (TGF-β1+ miR145-5P-mimics -NC group). The blank group did not receive any treatment, and the other three groups were induced by TGF-β1 in the medium for 48 h. Transfection miR145-5p mimic and miR145-5P-mimics-NC were added to co-culture medium, and IL-6, IL-6 and IL-6 of synovial macrophages were detected by ELISA.CD163 expression. Rt-qpcr was used to detect miR145-5p mRNA, TGF-β1mRNA, Smad3mRNA,Smad7mRNA expression level. The expression of TGF-β1/Smads pathway related proteins was detected by Western Blotting. Results: Compared with blank group, IL-6 level was up-regulated (P<0.01) ,and CD163 level was down-regulated in model group(P<0.05) , suggesting that TGF-β1 could induce intensified immune inflammatory response. Compared with the negative miR145-5P overexpression control group and model group, The expression of miR145-5P overexpression group molecule CD163 was significantly increased by ELISA(P<0.01), and the expression of inflammatory factor IL-6 was decreased (P<0.05). PCR showed that miR145-5P mRNA expression level was significantly increased in miR145-5P overexpression group,Smad3 mRNA and TGF-β1 mRNA were significantly decreased, and Smad7 mRNA was significantly increased (P<0.01). WB method showed that the anti-inflammatory protein Smad7 was significantly increased, while TGF-β1 and Smad3 were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Transwell chamber results confirmed that miR145-5P overexpression group significantly reduced macrophage invasion (P<0.01). Correlation analysis showed that miR145-5P was negatively correlated with Smad3 and positively correlated with Smad7 (P<0.01). Conclusion: miR145-5P may inhibit macrophage polarization in RA patients by targeting Smad3 protein, negatively regulating TGF-β1/Smads pathway, and alleviating immune inflammation.

Methods: The clinical data of inpatients with rectal cancer from the information system of 17 tertiary A-level traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in China were collected. After data standardization, descriptive analysis was performed on the general information, syndrome distribution and medication characteristics of the included patients, and association rule analysis was performed on the drug usage. Results: A total of 15424 hospitalized patients with rectal cancer were included. The ratio of male to female patients was 1.6:1, the average age was 60.87 years old, and the age was mainly in the range of 50 to 79 years old. Among the 12146 patients with rectal cancer, the top 5 TCM syndromes were Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome (25%), phlegm and blood stasis syndrome (19%), spleen deficiency syndrome (14%), Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome (7%) and Qi and blood deficiency syndrome (6%). After excluding the anti-tumor western medicine recommended by the guidelines, adrenal corticosteroids (43.55%), antibiotics (42.94%) and immunomodulatory drugs (42.66%) ranked the top three in the frequency of western medicine use. Dexamethasone (38.15%), metoclopramide tablets (20.51%) and furosemide injection (19.71%) were the three most commonly used western medicines. Among the three western medicines combined, cimetidine, granisetron hydrochloride dextrose injection + dexamethasone were the most common (support 8.23%, confidence 96.4%, and improvement 2.48%). Heat-clearing and detoxifying agents (53.72%), Yiqi-fuzheng agents (49.76%) and blood-activating and stasis-removing agents (15.68%) ranked the top 3 in the frequency of use of traditional Chinese medicine.Shenqi Fuzheng injection, Shenqi Fuzheng injection (21.59%), Compound Kushen injection (17.52%) and Aidi injection (11.96%) were the three most commonly used Chinese patent medicines. Conclusion: The main syndromes of patients with rectal cancer may be Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome, phlegm and blood stasis syndrome, and spleen deficiency syndrome, etc. The treatment needs to focus on the supplementation of vital essence, combination of dredging and tonifying method, and the integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Methods: A systematic search of CNKI, CBM, WanFang, VIP, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE databases, and the receipt of the database until February 2021. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction combined with arthroscopy in the treatment of gouty arthritis. Two researchers independently read the title and abstract to screen and them read the full text to clarify whether it should be included. The method of Cochrane systematic review was used to evaluate the quality of the literature, and the RevMan 5.3 software was used to conduct meta-analysis of the data. Results: Nineteen RCTs were finally included. A total of 1383 patients, 697 cases in the treatment group were treated with traditional Chinese medicine decoction combined with arthroscopy, and 686 cases in the control group were treated with arthroscopy alone or combined with western medicine. Meta-analysis results showed that the total clinical effective rate (P<0.00001) of the treatment group was better than that of the control group. Visual analogue scoring (VAS) score (P=0.0005, P<0.00001, P=0.03) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) level (P<0.00001, P<0.00001, P<0.00001)reduction in each subgroup was better than that of the control group. The Lysholm score of the treatment group increased (P<0.00001, P<0.00001, P=0.19), while for blood uric acid (UA) level (P<0.00001, P=0.18, P<0.0001) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (P<0.0001, P<0.00001, P=0.23) two subgroups were better than the control group, but there was no significant difference in one subgroup. Conclusion: Traditional Chinese medicine decoction combined with arthroscopy is effective in treating gouty arthritis, which can relieve pain, improve joint function, and reduce body inflammation and uric acid levels. However, in the future, clinical studies with larger sample sizes, more reasonable designs, and higher quality are still needed to demonstrate this conclusion.
