    Abstract Scorpio, a commonly used animal medicine in China, is derived from Buthus martensii as recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. China harbors rich species of Scorpionida and adulterants exist in the raw medicinal material and deep-processed products of Scorpio. The microscopic characteristics of the deep-processed products may be incomplete or lost during processing, which makes the identification difficult. In this study, the maximum likelihood(ML) tree was constructed based on the morphology and cytochrome C oxidase subunit I(COⅠ) to identify the species of Scorpio products. The results showed that the main adulterant of Scorpio was Lychas mucronatus. According to the specific SNP sites in the COⅠ sequence of B. martensii, the stable primers were designed for the identification of the medicinal material and formula granules of Scorpio. The polymerase chain reaction(PCR) at the annealing temperature of 61 ℃ and 30 cycles produced bright specific bands at about 150 bp for both B. martensii and its formula particles and no band for adulterants. The adaptability of the method was investigated, which showed that the bands at about 150 bp were produced for Scorpio medicinal material, lyophilized powder, and formula granules, and commercially available formula granules. The results showed that the established method could be used to identify the adulterants of Scorpio and its formula granules, which could help to improve the quality control system and ensure the safe clinical application of Scorpio formula granules.

    Abstract Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a clinical-neuroradiological syndrome with typical neuroimaging features of posterior cerebral white matter changes that are usually reversible. However, there are only few reports of burns with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in the literature. Hence, it is a clinical entity that many burn medicine physicians may be unfamiliar with. We report a case of severe burns complicated by posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in a 14-month-old male patient. On the eighth day of hospitalization, the child had persistent fever, occasional convulsions, eyes staring to the right, and high-pitched cry. Magnetic resonance imaging on day 10 showed the diagnosis is posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. We used hormone therapy to reduce cerebral oedema, oxcarbazepine to control convulsions, and multiple other drugs and physical measures to treat fever. The symptoms, signs, and imaging abnormalities of his posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome were rapidly reversed in a short period of time. At the 1-year follow-up, the patient had recovered completely with no residual neurological signs and symptoms. To our knowledge, the patient may be the youngest recorded patient with both burns and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Careful observation, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging can achieve early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, which facilitates the achievement of desired therapeutic results. Further investigation is required to determine whether burns can serve as an independent posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome causative factor and clarify the underlying pathogenesis mechanism.

    Abstract Numerous secondary metabolites in medicinal food homology plants such as Allium inhibit the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), but the current understanding of the inhibition mechanism is limited. In this study, we employed ultrafiltration, spectroscopic, molecular docking, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS/MS) techniques to investigate the inhibition mechanism of AChE by garlic organic sulfanes, including diallyl sulfide (DAS), diallyl disulfide (DADS), and diallyl trisulfide (DATS). The results of UV-spectrophotometry and ultrafiltration experiments showed the inhibition of AChE activity by DAS and DADS was reversible (competitive inhibition), but inhibition by DATS was irreversible. Molecular fluorescence and molecular docking indicated DAS and DADS changed the positions of key amino acids inside the catalytic cavity through hydrophobic interactions with AChE. By using MALDI-TOF-MS/MS, we found DATS irreversibly inhibited AChE activity by opening disulfide-bond switching of disulfide bond 1 (Cys-69 and Cys-96) and disulfide bond 2 (Cys-257 and Cys-272) in AChE, as well as by covalently modifying Cys-272 in disulfide bond 2 to generate AChE–SSA derivatives (strengthened switch). This study provides a basis for further exploration of natural AChE inhibitors using organic active substances in garlic and presents a hypothesis of U-shaped spring force arm effect based on the disulfide bond-switching reaction of DATS that can be used to evaluate the stability of disulfide bonds in proteins.

    Abstract This study was designed to explore the expression and the diagnostic value of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) in pernicious placenta previa (PPP) combined placental accreta/increta. A total of 140 PPP patients were enrolled and divided into two groups: 56 patients with placenta accreta/increta (PA group), and 84 patients without placenta accreta/increta (non-PA group). In the same period, 46 pregnant women without PPP who had undergone caesarean section were selected as controls. The levels of VEGF and sFlt-1 in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Diagnostic efficiency of VEGF and sFlt-1 in serum were evaluated by receiver operating characteristics curve. It was found that both VEGF and sFlt-1 had diagnostic value for PPP and placenta accreta/increta combined PPP. In addition, the levels of VEGF and sFlt-1 could be used to distinguish placenta accreta from placenta increta. VEGF was negatively correlated with sFlt-1 in PPP patients. In summary, the levels of VEGF and sFlt-1 could be used as auxiliary indicators to diagnose PPP and distinguish between placenta accreta and increta.KEY POINTSThe levels of VEGF and sFlt-1 could be used to distinguish placenta accreta from placenta increta.VEGF is negatively correlated with sFlt-1 in PPP patients.The levels of VEGF and sFlt-1 could be used as auxiliary indicators to diagnose PPP and distinguish between placenta accreta and increta.

    Abstract The function of Biliverdin Reductase A (BLVRA) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells proliferation, invasion and migration remains unclear. Therefore, this research intends to explore the effect of BLVRA on HCC cells growth and metastasis. BLVRA expression was analyzed in public dataset and examined by using western blot. The malignant function of BLVRA in HCC cell lines and its effect on Wnt/β-catenin pathway were measured. Analysis from GEPIA website showed that BLVRA expression was significantly increased in HCC tissues, and high expression of BLVRA resulted in worse prognosis of HCC patients. Results from western blot showed that BLVRA expression was obviously increased in HCC cell lines. Moreover, HepG2 and Hep3B cells in si-BLVRA-1 or si-BLVRA-2 group displayed an obvious reduction in its proliferation, cell cycle, invasion and migration compared to those in the si-control group. Additionally, si-BLVRA-1 or si-BLVRA-2 transfection significantly reduced the protein levels of Vimentin, Snail1 and Snail2, as well as decreased Bcl-2 expression and increased Bax and cleaved-caspase 3 expression. Furthermore, si-BLVRA treatment inhibited the protein levels of c-MYC, β-catenin, and Cyclin D1. After IWP-4 (Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor) treatment, the proliferation ability of HCC cells was significantly reduced. BLVRA expression was significantly increased in HCC tissues and cell lines, and knocked down of BLVRA could suppress the proliferation, invasion and migration in HCC cell lines, as well as induce cell apoptosis. Moreover, si-BLVRA transfection blocked the activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

    Abstract The association between circulating saturated fatty acids (SFAs) including very long-chain SFAs (VLCSFAs) and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk has not been clearly established. To investigate the association between serum SFAs and CRC risk in Chinese population, 680 CRC cases and 680 sex and age-matched (5-year interval) controls were recruited in our study. Serum levels of SFAs were detected by gas chromatography. Unconditional logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between serum SFAs and CRC risk. Results showed that total SFAs were positively associated with the risk of CRC (adjusted OR

    Abstract Hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy (HDCP) represent a systemic condition specific to pregnant women. Three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler ultrasonography is a technique that utilizes erythrocyte density, scattered intensity, or energy distribution in the bloodstream for imaging purposes. This study aimed to compare the changes in 3D power Doppler ultrasonography parameters in late pregnancy between patients with HDCP and those without HDCP, and to evaluate the predictive value of these parameters for pregnancy outcomes in patients with HDCP. The study included 160 pregnant women diagnosed with HDCP and 100 pregnant women without HDCP, who served as the control group. 3D power Doppler ultrasonography was performed, and the values of the vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI), and vascularization flow index (VFI) were measured. In the HDCP group, the VI, FI, and VFI were all lower than those observed in patients without HDCP. In HDCP patients with positive outcomes, these three parameters were higher than those recorded in patients with negative outcomes. The area under the predicted curve (AUC) for VI, FI, VFI, and the combination of these three parameters were 0.69, 0.63, 0.66, and 0.75, respectively. The parameters of 3D power Doppler ultrasonography can reflect the perfusion status of the placenta and predict the outcome of pregnancy in patients with HDCP. By monitoring these relevant hemodynamic parameters, valuable information can be provided for the clinical diagnosis, objective evaluation, and treatment of HDCP.
