Abstract:
α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) belongs to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), which is the key receptor in cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and plays an important role in the neural regulation of immune system. Recent studies have found that α7nAChR is also involved in the regulation of various physiological and pathological processes other than immunity, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver, angiogenesis, heart protection, etc. In addition, α7nAChR is closely related to energy metabolism in neurodegenerative diseases. This article reviews the role of α7nAChR in treating inflammation and improving energy metabolism, and the new direction of α7nAChR involved in therapy.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the polymorphism of microbial community after laparoscopic abdominal exploration by using bacterial 16s ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA) sequencing technology.   Methods  New Zealand rabbits were divided into model group and control group. The rabbits in the model group were operated by portable laparoscopy, and the rabbits in the control group were not treated. One week later, the peritoneal effusions of the model group and the control group were taken for 16S rDNA sequencing to analyze the microbial community polymorphism. To explore the changes of microbial community in peritoneal effusion in the model group compared with the control group.   Results  After 16S rDNA sequencing, bioinformatics was used to determine the microbial communities. Inter group difference analysis showed a good similarity of microbial communities between the two groups. OTU taxonomic analysis and species composition analysis (Rank-Abundance curve and Venn diagram) found that the microbial community level of the model group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Alpha diversity analysis (Sobs, Ace, Shannon, Simpson) showed that the richness and diversity of microbial community in the model group were higher than those in the control group. Microbial composition analysis showed that the number of miscellaneous bacteria in the model group increased by about 30% compared with the control group. The species differences between the two groups were tested for significance. It was found that Pasteurellales, Neisseria and Tsukamurella increased significantly.   Conclusion  The diversity of microbial communities in peritoneal effusion increases after laparoscopic abdominal exploration in New Zealand rabbits, and the most significant increases are Pasteurella, Neisseria and Tsukamura.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the molecular targets and associated potential pathways of Kunxian capsule in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on network pharmacology.  Methods  The constituents of Kunxian capsule were searched by Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database, Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and a high-throughput experiment- and reference-guided database of traditional Chinese medicine(HERB).The potential active ingredients and targets were retrieved based on TCMSP database. RA related gene targets were retrieved through GeneCards database and OMIM database. Venn online software was used to obtain the common target of drugs and diseases. The “compound-target” network diagram was constructed with Cytoscape software. String database was used to draw the protein interaction (PPI) network. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of the intersection network were conducted by Bioconductor Database.   Results  81 active ingredients and 913 targets were identified. 228 targets were obtained after removing the duplicates. 4494 target genes directly related to RA were obtained from the GeneCards databases and OMIM databases. 162 genes were obtained from the intersection of component-target and disease-target. It was revealed that five ingredients including quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol, β-sitosterol and triptolide are the main active ingredients in Kunxian capsule. AKT1, IL-10, STAT3, CASP8 and CDKN1A may be the main therapeutical targets. The results of GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the mechanism of Kunxian capsule is mainly related to the regulation of reactive oxygen metabolism, the regulation of kinase activity, and IL-17 signaling pathway. The important biological processes and signaling pathways include infection, inflammation and immunity.   Conclusion  This research preliminarily explored the mechanism of Kunxian capsule in the treatment of RA by network pharmacology and suggested that the overall regulation is characterized by multi-components, multi-targets, and multi-channels. It provided some ideas for further molecular biology experiments.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the influence of renal failure on the area under curve (AUC) and adverse reactions of docetaxel in breast cancer patients, and provide evidence for the dosage of docetaxel in renal failure patients.   Methods  A retrospective study was conducted on 24 patients with breast cancer who had undergone radical mastectomy and received AC-T adjuvant chemotherapy in our hospital from January 2019 to November 2021. According to renal function cases, the patients were divided into two groups: renal failure group (n=5) and normal renal function group (n=19). The clinical characteristics such as gender, age, body weight and body surface area of patients in two groups, docetaxel dose, blood concentration, area under the curve, liver and kidney function, white blood cell count and absolute value of neutrophil before chemotherapy were collected. Single factor linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the AUC of docetaxel. Adverse reactions after chemotherapy with docetaxel including nausea and vomiting, bone marrow suppression, constipation and liver function injury were collected. CTCAE 4.0 evaluation standard was used to evaluate adverse reactions.   Results  The clinical characteristics of creatinine [908.0 (819.0, 1018.0) μmol/L vs 54.8 (52.0, 65.0) μmol/L] and creatinine clearance rate [4.9 (4.3, 5.4) ml /min vs 86.3 (59.3, 92.5) ml/min] of the renal failure group and the normal renal function group have significant difference (P<0.001), while no significant difference (P>0.05) were found in the body surface area [1.4 (1.4, 1.5) m2 vs 1. 6 (1.5, 1.6) m2], docetaxel dose [70.4 (69.4, 73.0) mg/m2 vs 74.4 (72.3, 91.2) mg/m2], body weight [(51.4±3.8) kg vs (51.5±5.5) kg]. Liver function, white blood cells and neutrophils were within the normal range before chemotherapy with docetaxel. There was no significant difference in AUC value [(1.6±0.6) mg·h/L vs (1.8±0.8) mg·h/L] between the two groups after chemotherapy with docetaxel (P>0.05). Linear univariate regression analysis indicated that the blood concentration at the end of docetaxel infusion was significantly associated with AUC of docetaxel (P<0.001), while the body surface area, dose of docetaxel, body weight, liver and kidney function were not correlated with AUC of docetaxel (P>0.05). After chemotherapy with docetaxel, adverse reactions of patients in the two groups: nausea and vomiting (grade I incidence: 40% vs. 57.9%, grade II incidence: 60% vs. 42.1%), myelosuppression (grade I incidence: 60% vs. 84.2%, grade II incidence: 20% vs 15.8%) and constipation (all mild constipation) had no significant difference (P>0.05).   Conclusion  Renal failure did not affect the exposure of docetaxel and the adverse reactions after chemotherapy with docetaxel in breast cancer patients.

Abstract:
  Objective  To evaluate the effect of Ulinastatin injection on inflammation, hemodynamics, oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) and prognosis in patients with septic shock.   Methods  A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 109 patients with septic shock from January 2017 to December 2019. Patients were divided into observation group (n=73) and routine group (n=54) according to the treatment regimens. The two groups were given anti-shock treatment according to the relevant guidelines, and observation group was additionally given Ulinastatin. The inflammatory factors, hemodynamic parameters and PaO2/FiO2 and recovery were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.   Results  The levels of IL-6, TNF-α and PCT at 7 d of treatment were significantly decreased in the two groups (P<0.05), and the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and PCT of observation group were lower than that of routine group (P<0.05). At 12 h, 24 h and 72 h of treatment, the MAP, CI and PaO2/FiO2 were significantly increased in the two groups (P<0.05) while the EVLWI and SVRI were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the MAP and PaO2/FiO2 of observation group at the same time were higher than that of routine group while the EVLWI was lower than that routine group (P<0.05). At 7 d of treatment, the APACHE-II score, mechanical ventilation time and ICU stay time of observation group were lower than that of routine group, and the incidence rates of MODS in the two groups were 4.11% and 14.81% respectively (P<0.05), and the mortality rates were 1.37% and 7.41% respectively (P>0.05).   Conclusion  Ulinastatin could be beneficial in septic shock, which could reduce inflammatory response, improve hemodynamic parameters and microcirculation perfusion, and put a positive effect on promoting rehabilitation and improving prognosis.

Abstract:
  Objective  To retrospectively analyze the use of antiviral drugs in 1765 patients admitted to a hospital of COVID-19 in Hubei Province, and to provide experience and suggestions for clinical rational drug use.   Methods  The antiviral drugs used in a hospital in Hubei Province during the treatment of COVID-19 patients from February to April 2020 were analyzed according to the "New Coronary Virus Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Program" recommendated by the National Health Commission.   Results  Among the 1765 patients, 1114 (63.11%) were treated with antiviral drugs. The top three antiviral drugs were arbidol (981 cases, use rate 55.58%), IFN-α-2b (340 cases, use rate 19.26%) and chloroquine (72 cases, use rate 4.08%) . Among all the antiviral regimens, 636 (57.09%) were treated with arbidol alone, followed by arbidol combined IFN-α-2b 164 (14.72%) , arbidol combined IFN-α-2b 98 (8.8%) , and the top three regimens accounted for 80.61% of all antiviral regimens. According to the COVID-19, IFN-α-2b, Arbidol, and chloroquine had more than 20% of the over-treatment duration, 6 patients used more than 3 antiviral drugs, and 50 patients had not been recommended for hydroxychloroquine.   Conclusion  The antiviral drugs used for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 in this hospital are basically used rationally under the guidance of the "New Coronary Virus Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Program" continuously updated by the National Health Commission at the same time..
