ABSTRACT

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), as an idiopathic inflammatory disease of the intestinal tract, consisting mainly of Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis, which can involve the rectum, colon and ileum, and whose pathogenesis is still not fully understood. The initiation of intestinal inflammation associated with IBD and its chronieity begins with increased intestinal permeability caused by intestinal epithelial barrier disruption. The anti-permeability of the intestinal epithelial barrier is maintained by tight junction in the apical region of the intestinal epithelial cells, and disruption of the tight junction structure is closely associated with intestinal epithelial barrier damage and the development of IBD. Therefore, it is significant to find drugs for the prevention and treatment of IBD using tight junctions as regulatory targets. In recent years, many small molecules of natural product origin have been reported to improve the effects of IBD. In particular, we review the compounds that have the function of repairing intestinal epithelial barrier and protecting tight junction structure, in order to provide research ideas for the design and development of new drugs for the prevention and treatment of IBD.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the application value of percutaneous peripheral interventional therapy in pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septal (PA-IVS). Methods: Retrospective case summary. The data was collected from 25 children who were hospitalized at the Children's Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from August 2019 to August 2022, had been diagnosed with PA-IVS by echocardiography, and underwent interventional treatment. The sex, age, weight, operation time, radiation exposure time, and radiation dose of the patients were collected. The patients were divided into the arterial duct stenting group and the non-stenting group. Preoperative tricuspid annular diameters and Z scores, right ventricular length diameters, and right ventricular/left ventricular length-diameter ratios were compared by paired t-tests. Right ventricular systolic pressure difference, oxygen saturation, lactic acid before and after the surgery were compared for 24 children who received percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty. Right ventricular improvement in 25 children after operation was analyzed. The correlation between postoperative oxygen saturation and postoperative right ventricular systolic blood pressure difference, the degree of pulmonary valve opening and the Z value of tricuspid valve ring in the non-stenting group were analyzed. Results: A total of 25 patients with PA-IVS were enrolled in the study, of whom 19 were males and 6 females, with an age at surgery of 12 (6, 28) days and a weight of (3.7±0.5) kg. One of them underwent only stenting of the arterial duct; 20 children underwent only percutaneous pulmonary valve perforation and balloon angioplasty; 4 children underwent both procedures. The Z-value of the tricuspid ring was -1.5±1.2 in the group with arterial duct stenting, and -0.1±0.4 in the group without stenting (t=2.77, P=0.010). The tricuspid regurgitant flow rate 1 month after surgery was significantly lower than the preoperative ((3.4±0.6) vs. (4.8±0.9) m/s, t=6.62,P<0.001). In the 24 children with percutaneous pulmonary valve perforation and balloon angioplasty, the preoperative right ventricular systolic blood pressure was (110±32) mmHg, and the postoperative systolic blood pressure was (52±19) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) (F=59.55, P<0.001). The factors that may affect postoperative oxygen saturation in 20 cases of non-stenting group were analyzed. The results suggested that the pre and post-operative right ventricular systolic blood pressure differences (r=-0.11, P=0.649), and the pulmonary valve orifice opening (r=-0.31, P=0.201) and tricuspid annulus Z value (r=-0.18, P=0.452) at 1 month after the operation were not significantly correlated with the postoperative oxygen saturation. Conclusions: Interventional therapy can be used as the first choice for one-stage operation of PA-IVS. Percutaneous pulmonary valve perforation and balloon angioplasty are more suitable for children with well-developed right ventricles, tricuspid annulus, and pulmonary arteries. While the smaller the tricuspid annulus, the more dependent it is on the ductus arteriosus and thus patients are more suitable for arterial duct stenting.

ABSTRACT

Activated platelets may interact with various types of leukocytes such as monocytes, neutrophils, dendritic cells, and lymphocytes, trigger intercellular signal transduction, and thus lead to thrombosis and synthesis of massive inflammatory mediators. Elevated levels of circulating platelet-leukocyte aggregates have been found in patients with thrombotic or inflammatory diseases. This article reviews the latest research on the formation, function, and detection methods of platelet-leukocyte aggregates and their role in the onset of Kawasaki disease, so as to provide new ideas for studying the pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease.

Abstract Background It has been reported that solute carrier family 26 members 4 antisense RNA 1 (SLC26A4-AS1) is highly related to cardiac hypertrophy. Objective This research aims to investigate the role and specific mechanism of SLC26A4-AS1 in cardiac hypertrophy, providing a novel marker for cardiac hypertrophy treatment. Methods Angiotensin II (AngII) was infused into neonatal mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes (NMVCs) to induce cardiac hypertrophy. Gene expression was detected by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). Protein levels were evaluated via western blot. Functional assays analyzed the role of SLC26A4-AS1. The mechanism of SLC26A4-AS1 was assessed by RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP), RNA pull-down, and luciferase reporter assays. The P value <0.05 was identified as statistical significance. Student's t-test evaluated the two-group comparison. The difference between different groups was analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results SLC26A4-AS1 is upregulated in AngII-treated NMVCs and promotes AngII-induced cardiac hypertrophy. SLC26A4-AS1 regulates its nearby gene solute carrier family 26 members 4 (SLC26A4) via functioning as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to modulate the microRNA (miR)-301a-3p and miR-301b-3p in NMVCs. SLC26A4-AS1 promotes AngII-induced cardiac hypertrophy via upregulating SLC26A4 or sponging miR-301a-3p/miR-301b-3p. Conclusion SLC26A4-AS1 aggravates AngII-induced cardiac hypertrophy via sponging miR-301a-3p or miR-301b-3p to enhance SLC26A4 expression.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited disease with an abnormal electrical conduction system in the heart that can cause sudden death as a result of QT prolongation. LQT2 is the second most common subtype of LQTS caused by loss of function mutations in the potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 2 (KCNH2) gene. Although more than 900 mutations are associated with the LQTS, many of these mutations are not validated or characterized. Methods and results: Sequencing analyses of genomic DNA of a family with LQT2 identified a putative mutation. i.e., KCNH2(NM_000238.3): c.3099_3112del, in KCNH2 gene which appeared to be a definite pathogenic mutation. The family pedigree information showed a gender difference in clinical features and T-wave morphology between male and female patients. The female with mutation exhibited recurring ventricular arrhythmia and syncope, while two male carriers did not show any symptoms. In addition, T-wave in females was much flatter than in males. The female proband showed a positive reaction to the lidocaine test. Lidocaine injection almost completely blocked ventricular arrhythmia and shortened the QT interval by ≥30 ms. Treatment with propranolol, mexiletine, and implantation of cardioverter-defibrillators prevented the sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and syncope, as assessed by a 3-year follow-up evaluation. Conclusions: A putative mutation c.3099_3112del in the KCNH2 gene causes LQT2 syndrome, and the pathogenic mutation mainly causes symptoms in female progeny.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore correlations between physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB) and physical posture disorders in primary school students, and to provide reference for the prevention and correction of adverse body posture in this group.@*Methods@#From September to December 2020, 206 children from 4 primary schools in Chaoyang District of Beijing were selected by multistage stratified cluster random sampling method. Body posture and PA were assessed using a body posture tester and a triaxial accelerometer. Children s Leisure Activity Questionnaire was used to investigate SB.@*Results@#The detection rate of abnormal body posture in primary school students was 76.70%. PA showed positive assocation with high and low shoulder, X/O leg, pelvis forward, spine curvature and comprehensive evaluation ( β =0.17, 0.21, 0.19, 0.24, 0.19, P <0.05). SB had significant negative linear correlation with high and low shoulder, X/O leg,pelvis forward, spine curvature and comprehensive evaluation ( β = -0.24 , -0.22, -0.36, -0.24, -0.27, P <0.05). In the combination analysis, children with high PA plus low SB ( OR=2.12, 95%CI= 1.46-3.37, P <0.05) and children with low PA plus high SB had the highest and lowest advantages of qualified rate of body posture assessment,respectively. Compare with low SB and low PA( OR=1.71, 95%CI=1.41-2.74, P <0.05), high PA and high SB ( OR=1.85, 95%CI=1.38-2.86, P <0.05) had higher qualified rate of body posture assessment.@*Conclusion@#Physical activity shows positive effects on physical posture while sedentary behavior shows negative effects on physical posture. The combination of PA and SB has a counteracting or synergistic interaction effect.

ABSTRACT

@#Eggerthelle lenta (E. lenta) is a gram-positive non-spore-bearing anaerobic bacilli that was first isolated from human feces by Arnold Eggerth in 1935.[1] It is classified as an anaerobic eubacterium that cannot decompose glucose and tryptophan[2] but can synthesize different kinds of steroid metabolism enzymes.[3] On the basis of the high content of guanine + cytosine detected by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing, its original name Eubacterium lentum was changed to E. lenta and concurrently transferred to its own distinct genus Eggerthella.[4]E. lenta often exists in the gastrointestinal tract.[5] Previous reports on E. lenta-induced sepsis were rare. Herein, we present a case of E. lenta-induced sepsis with abdominal pain as the main symptom.

ABSTRACT

The pathogenesis of autoimmune disease is complex, lacking in specific markers and new therapeutic targets. Traditional Chinese medicine (T C M) is effective in treating chronic complex diseases such as autoimmune diseases, but the specific mechanism of action remains unclear. The core idea of network pharmacology has much in common with the overall philosophy of TCM. As a new discipline, it provides a new research mode for TCM to transform from empirical medicine to evidence-based medicine. Network pharmacology has been applied in many fields of research, but its application in a certain kind of disease is rarely reviewed. Through searching domestic and foreign literature, this paper reviews the application of network pharmacology in the prevention and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus with traditional Chinese medicine and identification of related biological targets.

ABSTRACT

Aim To explore the mechanism of Hispolon in the treatment of colon cancer by network pharmacology and cell experimental validation. Methods The potential targets of Hispolon were obtained from the Swiss Target Prediction website, and intersected with colon cancer targets from GeneCards and OMIM databases. The protein-protein interaction network of targets was built by the STRING11. 0 database. Meanwhile , the core targets of PPI network was explored by Cytoscape 3. 7. 2 software. Furthermore, the GO and KEGG pathway enrichment were analyzed by Metas- cape database. Finally, Western blotting was used to verify the regulation of Hispolon on some key targets in colon cancer cell SW480. Results Sixty-nine com-mon targets of Hispolon and colon cancer were obtained, which were colon cancer therapeutic targets. The core targets included BCL-2L1, EP300, CDK1, AR, MTOR and EGFR. The enrichment analysis showed that Hispolon played a role in the treatment of colon cancer by regulating the pathways in cancer, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, prostate cancer and Mi- croRNAs in cancer. And the key targets in the pathway involved core targets such as BCL-2 LI, EP300, CDK1, MTOR and EGFR. Cell experiments confirmed that Hispolon promoted SW480 cell apoptosis by down- regulating the expression of target proteins BCL-2L1 and mTOR. Conclusions The discussion of the molecular mechanism of Hispolon in the treatment of colon cancer suggests that Hispolon may play a role in the treatment of colon cancer through multiple targets and multiple pathways. The results provide a scientific basis for the elucidation of the mechanisms and clinical application of Hispolon against colon cancer.

ABSTRACT

Mountain-agarwood plays an important role in ethnic medicine in China for its pharmaceutical value. Modern pharmacological researches demonstrated that mountain-agarwood was effective for its anti-myocardial ischemia, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antitumor and analgesic effects. Mountain-agarwood derives from the peeled roots, stems or twigs of Syringa pinnatifolia which belongs to Syringa genus. It often depends on the purple substance and fragrance to estimate the formation of mountain-agarwood. However, the mechanism of mountain-agarwood formation has not been reported. To observe the microcosmic change in the process during the formation of mountain-agarwood, this study described the microscopic and histochemical characteristics of mountain-agarwood formation through histochemical staining. Our results showed that a significant difference of the distribution of tyloses existed during mountain-agarwood formation. It was observed that inchoate mountain-agarwood had more starch granules and viable cells than mountain-agarwood formed with high level or low level. The amount of polysaccharide and degree of lignification were increased during the mountain-agarwood formation. The results indicated that the mountain-agarwood, which meets the quality requirements for pharmaceutical use, contained the following characteristics: a large amount of purple tyloses in heartwood; yellow-brown tyloses distributing in heartwood and sapwood which were less in the latter; lignification with high level; a few viable cells; lots of polysaccharide and few starch granules in xylem rays cell. This study is aimed to reveal the change of histochemical characteristics during mountain-agarwood formation, and lay the foundation for exploring the mechanism of mountain-agarwood formation.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the variability of the time and frequency of Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) during the school days and weekends of junior high school students, and to explore the correlation between MVPA and physical fitness.@*Methods@#A cluster sampling method was used to investigate 79 students of grade 1 and grade 2 in Beijing Huilongguan Middle School. Adapted one day physical activity recording tool was implemented to investigate students’ physical activity from 8:00 to 23:00 a week, activity records were classified into daily MVPA parts and non MVPA parts based on MET values. Physical activity time series for 5 consecutive days and 2 weekends, as well as MVPA total time and the lempel ziv complexity of the sequence was calculated. Investigated the correlation between the MVPA situation and the results of national students’ physical fitness standard test.@*Results@#There was no statistical difference in MVPA time between males and females during school days( t =-0.90, P >0.05). Females had greater variability in MVPA than males(58.9%, 53.5%). There was also no statistical difference in MVPA complexity between genders( t =-0.55, P >0.05). During weekends, there was no significant difference in the total MVPA time between men and women( t =-0.13, P >0.05). The CV of male MVPA time was lower than that of female(141.5%, 152.8%). There was also no significant difference( t =-0.63, P >0.05), and male MVPA complex CV was slightly higher than that of female ( 55.1% , 48.1%). The MVPA time CV of adolescents during weekdays was slightly lower for males (weekdays vs weekends: 53.5%, 141.5%) than females(58.9%, 152.8%). The MVPA complexity in weekdays among males was moderately correlated with BMI( r =0.41), and the MVPA time and weight of females ( r =-0.30) and BMI ( r =-0.31) were low. The complexity was related to body weight ( r =-0.31) and BMI ( r =-0.33) to a low degree( P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#Junior middle school students are more active on school days than weekend, but the MVPA time series are limited. Schools can effectively improve physical fitness by spreading out the activity period of MVPA in one day. MVPA complexity, as a more comprehensive indicator, may be more sensitive to BMI of junior middle school students.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the relationship between adolescents’ physical activity and motor skills, and to provide a new perspective for the promotion of adolescents physical activity.@*Methods@#The subjects were 153 adolescents aged 12-14, including 73 boys and 80 girls were selected as participants. The accelerometer (ActiGraph GT3X+) was used to measuring physical activity of the subjects for 7 consecutive days. The Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (MABC-2) was used to measure the level of development of motor skills.@*Results@#The average time for subjects to participate in moderatetovigorous physical activity(MVPA) was 42.15 minutes per day, 15.7% of the subjects met the World Health Organization physical activity guidelines. 56% of subjects had an average level of motor development. There was a positive correlation between MVPA and the object control skill score(r=0.20, P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between low intensity physical activity and fine motor scores(r=0.23, P<0.01); There was a low correlation between moderatehigh intensity physical activity and object control in boys(r=0.29, P<0.05), and no correlation was found among girls.@*Conclusion@#Time spent in moderatetovigorous physical activity among adolescents is still insufficient. The mutual promotion of physical activity and motor skill provides a new perspective for developing the motor skills of children and adolescents to improve moderatetovigorous physical activity.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of Mycobacterium vaccae on Jagged 1 and gamma delta T17 (γδT17) cells in asthmatic mice. An asthma mouse model was established through immunization with ovalbumin (OVA). Gamma-secretase inhibitor (DAPT) was used to block the Notch signaling pathway. M. vaccae was used to treat asthma, and related indicators were measured. Blocking Notch signaling inhibited the production of γδT17 cells and secretion of cytokine interleukin (IL)-17, which was accompanied by a decrease in Jagged1 mRNA and protein expression in the treated asthma group compared with the untreated asthma group. Similarly, treatment with M. vaccae inhibited Jagged1 expression and γδT17 cell production, which was associated with decreased airway inflammation and reactivity. The Notch signaling pathway may play a role in the pathogenesis of asthma through the induction of Jagged1 receptor. On the other hand, the inhibitory effect of M. vaccae on Jagged1 receptor in γδT17 cells could be used for the prevention and treatment of asthma.
