The results indicate that there are differences in the mechanism and pathogenesis of gram-positive and gram-negative sepsis, which may provide potential markers for sepsis diagnosis and empirical antimicrobial therapy.

To study the expression of tumor associated vascular insulin receptor (TVIR) in colorectal cancer with or without metabolic syndrome (MS) and its relationship with the pathological features of colorectal cancer.
The expression of TVIR in 220 colorectal cancer specimens was detected by tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry. The relationships between the expression of TVIR and the pathological features (pathological subtypes, histological grade, invasion depth, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage) of colorectal cancer with/without MS were analyzed.
The insulin receptor expression was observed in colorectal cancer tissue or border area between cancer and normal tissue, but not in normal intestinal tissue. The high-expression rates of TVIR in MS group was remarkably lower than that of non-MS group (21.6%vs. 41.0%,
< 0.05). TVIR high expression was significantly associated with tumor deep invasion, lymph node metastasis and high TNM stage (
<0.05 or
<0.01). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed high-expression of TVIR to be significantly associated with risk of deep invasion (
=2.21, 95%
1.10-4.44,
<0.05), lymph node metastasis (
=2.21, 95%
1.26-3.86,
<0.01) and high TNM stage (
=2.08, 95%
1.19-3.63,
<0.05). Such associations can be observed in patients without MS, but not in patients with MS.
s High-expression of TVIR is associated with aggressive pathological features such as invasion, lymph node metastasis and high TNM stage of colorectal cancer, especially for those patients without MS. TVIR could be a useful biological marker for prognosis of colorectal cancer.

To explore the mechanism of Flos Puerariae and Semen Hoveniae in treatment of alcoholic liver injury (ALI) based on network pharmacology and molecular docking.
The information of chemical constituents and targets of Flos Puerariae and Semen Hoveniae was collected from TCMSP and Swiss databases, and the threshold values of oral bioavailability (OB) ≥ 30%, drug likeness (DL) ≥0.18 were used to screen the potential active compounds. The GeneCard and DrugBank databases were used to obtain the targets corresponding to ALI. The common targets were queried using Venn Diagram, and the network of PPI and Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed through DAVID and Reactome database. JAK inhibitor review Autodock Vina software was used for molecular docking of potential ingredients and key targets.
A total of 21 potential active compounds and 431 therapeutic targets were gathered in Flos Puerariae and Semen Hoveniae, which involved 27ible medicinal substance, key targets and pathways, which provides clues for the new drug development and mechanism research.
To investigate the regulatory effect of iridoid glycoside of radix scrophulariae (IGRS) on endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion
model.
Rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells were pretreated with IGRS (50, 100, 200 μg/mL) for 24h, and the
model of oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) was applied. The cell viability was determined by MTT and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay. The apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 related X protein (Bax), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), caspase-12 protein, and glucose-regulated protein-78(GRP78)were detected by Western blotting. The mRNA expression levels of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca
-ATPase2 (SERCA2), 1, 4, 5-triphosphate inositol receptor 1 (IP
R1), and ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2)were detected by real-time RT-PCR. Free Ca
concentration [Ca
]
was determined by using laser scanning confocal microscopy.
The damage caused by OGD/R to PC12 cells was significantly reduced by IGRS, with significant effect on increasing survival rate and reducing LDH release (all
<0.01). The expression of GRP78, CHOP, Bax, and caspase-12 were down-regulated (all
<0.01), and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-2/Bax ratio was up-regulated (all
<0.01); IGRS increased the expression of SERCA2 mRNA in PC12 cells after OGD/R injury (
<0.01), decreased [Ca
]
and down-regulated the expression of RyR2 mRNA and IP
R1 mRNA.
IGRS has neuroprotective effect, which may alleviate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by regulating SERCA2, maintaining calcium balance, and inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis.

To investigate the effect of Chinese medicine Wubi Shanyao pills on sexual function of kidney-yang-deficiency mice induced by hydrocortisone.
Male Kunming mice were injected with hydrocortisone for 10 days to prepare the kidney-yang-deficiency model, and administrated with Wubi Shanyao pills (0.91, 1.82, 2.73 g/kg) for 9 weeks. The general behaviors of mice (autonomous activity, grasping power) were observed; sexual behaviors (capture, straddle, ejaculation frequency and incubation period) of mice were detected by mating experiment. The serum levels of cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E
) and testosterone were measured by ELIZA. The organ indexes of kidney, epididymis, testis and seminal vesicle were calculated. The histomorphology of testis was observed by HE staining. The apoptosis of testis cells was detected by TUNEL; and the expression level of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in testis was detected by immunohistochemistry.
