ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the role and potential mechanism of interleukin (IL)-18/IL-18 binding protein (BP) in mediating the killing effect of natural killer (NK)-92MI cells upon endothelial cells from α-1, 3- galactosyltransferase gene-knockout (GTKO) porcine models. Methods NK-92MI cells were divided into the NK, NK+IL-18, NK+GTKO, IL-18+NK+GTKO and IL-18+IL-18BP+NK+GTKO groups. The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels of inflammation-related genes in NK-92MI cells were detected by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The killing effect of NK-92MI cells on endothelial cells from GTKO porcine models was evaluated by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay. The apoptosis of endothelial cells from GTKO porcine models was assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay. The expression levels of proteins with killing effect and apoptosis-related proteins were determined by Western blot. Results Compared with the NK, NK+IL-18 and NK+GTKO groups, the expression levels of interferon (IFN)-γ, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-8, IL-3, IL-6 and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) mRNA were up-regulated in NK-92MI cells in the IL-18+NK+GTKO group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Compared with the IL-18+NK+GTKO group, the expression levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-8, IL-3, IL-6 and GM-CSF mRNA were down-regulated in NK-92MI cells in the IL-18+IL-18BP+NK+GTKO group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Compared with the NK+GTKO group, the expression levels of perforin, granzyme B and IFN-γ proteins in NK-92MI cells were up-regulated, the killing rate of NK-92MI cells against endothelial cells from GTKO porcine models was enhanced, the apoptosis rate of endothelial cells from GTKO porcine models was increased, and the ratios of B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)-associated X protein (Bax)/Bcl-2 and cleaved Caspase-3/Caspase-3 in endothelial cells from GTKO porcine models were elevated in the IL-18+NK+GTKO group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Compared with the IL-18+NK+GTKO group, the expression levels of perforin, granzyme B and IFN-γ proteins were down-regulated, the killing rate of NK-92MI cells against endothelial cells from GTKO porcine models was decreased, the apoptosis rate of endothelial cells from GTKO porcine models was decreased, and the ratios of Bax/Bcl-2 and cleaved Caspase-3/Caspase-3 in endothelial cells from GTKO porcine models were declined in the IL-18+IL-18BP+NK+GTKO group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions IL-18BP may block the expression of inflammation-related genes in NK-92MI cells induced by IL-18 and the killing effect of NK-92MI cells on endothelial cells from GTKO porcine models.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the perioperative blood management in patients with pancreatic pseudocyst combiend with coagulation factor Ⅴ(FⅤ) deficiency. 【Methods】 Preoperative: In order to determine the effect of cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) on the elevation level of factor Ⅴ, we alternately infused cryoprecipitate and FFP in the resting state. TEG, coagulation function and coagulation factor activity were monitored before and 1 h, 24 h and 48 h after infusion, and intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion strategies were formulated. FFP 600 mL and cryoprecipitate 10 U were supplemented preoperatively. Intraoperative: The operation procedure was performed for 7 hours with an infusion of 600 mL FFP without significant bleeding. Postoperative: FFP was infused. 【Results】 Preoperative: The coagulation factor Ⅴ activity on pre-operation was 1.9% and 1.8%. After alternating infusion cryoprecipitate 10 U and FFP 1 200 mL, the FⅤactivity increased to 5.1% and 6.0%, respectively. There was no significant difference in TEG parameters, PT and ATPP results were decreased to varying degrees. Intraoperative: The operation was successful without obvious bleeding. Postoperative: FFP 500 mL was infused 2 h after operation, and FFP 250-500 mL was injected daily from 1 to 7 days after surgery. No significant bleeding was observed in the wound, the results of TEG, PT, APTT and hemoglobin (Hb) did not change significantly compared with those before surgery. The patient was discharged successfully 12 days after surgery. The genetic test results showed that he had inherited coagulation factor Ⅴ deficiency, which was a compound heterozygous variation. 【Conclusion】 Perioperative blood management in patients with FⅤ deficiency combined with surgical disease, requiring pre-transfusion evaluation and post-transfusion evaluation in combination with laboratory investigations and clinical manifestations, cryoprecipitate and fresh frozen plasma can be effective in supplementing coagulation factors. The TEG seems to be better than the Seven items of coagulation function in judging the clotting status of patients with FⅤ deficiency.
ABSTRACT
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation is an inflammatory reaction process caused by beta-amyloid protein deposited in the cortical and leptomeningeal vessels, which is a rare type of cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Most of the patients are middle-aged and elderly, and manifest as progressive cognitive impairment, headache, seizures, and focal neurological deficits. Brain magnetic resonance imaging shows asymmetric T 2/fluid attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensity in cortical and subcortical white matter, in addition to multiple cerebral microbleeds. The disease often needs to be differentiated from primary angiitis of the central nervous system, glioma, and varicella-zoster virus encephalitis. Although the disease is rare, prompt treatment with glucocorticoids and immune suppressants can reduce death and disability and significantly improve outcome. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the ability of early diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To establish a secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis(HLH) mouse model, and to investigate the effect of ruxolitinib on the disease manifestation of model mice.@*METHODS@#Wild type C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: two groups of mice were intraperitoneally injected with CpG oligodeoxynucleotide 1826 (CpG-ODN1826) every other day to induce HLH, and other two groups were control groups. One group of the CpG-ODN1826 groups and one of the control groups were given ruxolitinib, and other two groups were given the same amount of PBS. Blood samples, serum ferritin and hepatic/spleen weights of experimental mice were detected and serum cytokine levels were measured by ELISA.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the control groups, the levels of white blood cells, hemoglobin and platelets in the CpG-ODN1826 groups were significantly lower (P＜0.05); and liver/body weight, spleen/body weight, serum ferritin, sCD25, IL-10, IL-1β, IFN-Ƴ, IL-12p70, GM-CSF, TNF-α and IL-18 levels significantly increased (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-22, IL-13, IL-27 and IL-23 between the two groups (P＞0.05). The spleen in CpG group had disordered internal structure, expanding red pulp and hyperplastic nucleated cells. The liver had severe perivascular inflammations. The spleen/weight of the ruxolitinib-treated mice in the CpG-ODN1826 group was significantly smaller than that of the unapplied ruxolitinib (P＜0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The CpG-ODN1826 can induce secondary HLH symptoms in wild type C57BL/6 mice. Ruxolitinib can alleviate the symptoms of splenomegaly in HLH model mice.

Imipenem is a carbapenem antibiotic. However, Imipenem could not be marketed owing to its instability and nephrotoxicity until cilastatin, an inhibitor of renal dehydropeptidase-I (DHP-I), was developed. In present study, the potential roles of renal organic anion transporters (OATs) in alleviating the nephrotoxicity of imipenem by cilastatin were investigated and in rabbits. Our results indicated that imipenem and cilastatin were substrates of hOAT1 and hOAT3. Cilastatin inhibited hOAT1/3-mediated transport of imipenem with IC values comparable to the clinical concentration, suggesting the potential to cause a clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI). Moreover, imipenem exhibited hOAT1/3-dependent cytotoxicity, which was alleviated by cilastatin and probenecid. Furthermore, cilastatin and probenecid ameliorated imipenem-induced rabbit acute kidney injury, and reduced the renal secretion of imipenem. Cilastatin and probenecid inhibited intracellular accumulation of imipenem and sequentially decreased the nephrocyte toxicity in rabbit primary proximal tubule cells. Renal OATs, besides DHP-I, was also the target of interaction between imipenem and cilastatin, and contributed to the nephrotoxicity of imipenem. This therefore gives in part the explanation about the mechanism by which cilastatin protected against imipenem-induced nephrotoxicity. Thus, OATs can potentially be used as a therapeutic target to avoid the renal adverse reaction of imipenem in clinic.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the clinical features of acute myeloid leukemia patients aged over 80 years.@*METHODS@#The clinical data from 24 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (non-M3) aged over 80 years were analyzed retrospectively. Clinical characteristics, therapeutic efficacy and overall survival rate of the patients received low dose chemotherapy and/or decitabine were compared with that received only supportive care.@*RESULTS@#According to FAB classification, the 10 patients were M2 subtypes (41.7%), the 7 patients were M4 subtypes (29.2%), the 4 patiens were M5 (16.7%), the 3 patients were unclassifed (16.5%). 22 patients (91.0%) were complicated with underling diseases. Among 13 patients received low dose chemotherapy or decitabine, 8 cases (61.5%) achived partial remission or higher remission. The median survival time of patients who reseived chemotherapy was 30 weeks, and signicantly longer than that of patients received supportive care (median survival time was 9 weeks (P<0.05)). The univariated analysis showed that WBC≥50×10/L, ECOG≥2 and received supportive care were unfavonrable prognostic factors for overall survival.@*CONCLUSION@#More than half of patients aged over 80 years who received individudized treatment can achieve partial remission or higher remission, and can have more longer survival time..

Pharmacokinetics (PK) is the study of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) processes of a drug. Understanding PK properties is essential for drug development and precision medication. In this review we provided an overview of recent research on PK with focus on the following aspects: (1) an update on drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters in the determination of PK, as well as advances in xenobiotic receptors and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the modulation of PK, providing new understanding of the transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulatory mechanisms that result in inter-individual variations in pharmacotherapy; (2) current status and trends in assessing drug-drug interactions, especially interactions between drugs and herbs, between drugs and therapeutic biologics, and microbiota-mediated interactions; (3) advances in understanding the effects of diseases on PK, particularly changes in metabolizing enzymes and transporters with disease progression; (4) trends in mathematical modeling including physiologically-based PK modeling and novel animal models such as CRISPR/Cas9-based animal models for DMPK studies; (5) emerging non-classical xenobiotic metabolic pathways and the involvement of novel metabolic enzymes, especially non-P450s. Existing challenges and perspectives on future directions are discussed, and may stimulate the development of new research models, technologies, and strategies towards the development of better drugs and improved clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) on the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and its mechanism in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) in vitro culture.Methods Different concentrations of TSH (0,10,50 mIU/ml) were used to intervene HMEC-1.The expression of eNOS mRNA was detected with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method.The protein expressions of eNOS,phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT),protein kinase B (AKT),phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (P-ERK),and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) were determined with Western Blot.Results (1) The expression level of eNOS was significantly decreased by TSH in dose-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05).(2) TSH could promote the phosphorylation of AKT and ERK (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Thyroid-stimulating hormone may inhibit the expression of nitric oxide synthase in human microvascular endothelial cells by activating AKT and ERK signaling pathways.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the mechanism of action of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2),myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88),and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods One hundred twenty-fiwe adult male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,cerebral ischemia group and T2.5 (TLR2 antagonist) treatment group.A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced by suture method.T2.5 (0.121 2 μg/g) was injected into jugular vein at the beginning of reperfusion in the T2.5 treatment group.Cerebral infarction volume,brain edema,bloodbrain barrier permeability and neurological deficit score were measured at 24 h after reperfusion.Western blotting was used to determine the expression levels of TLR2,MyD88 and MMP-9 at different time points in the ischemic cortex.Results Western blot analysis showed that compared with the sham operation group,the expression levels of TLR2 and MyD88 in the ischemic group increased significantly from 6 h after ischemia-reperfusion and lasted for 24 h (all P ＜ 0.05),while MMP-9 increased significantly at 24 h after ischemia-reperfusion (P ＜ 0.05).At 24 h after ischemia-reperfusion,the blood-brain barrier permeability,brain edema degree,cerebral infarction volume,and neurological deficit score in the ischemic group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group (all P ＜0.05);at this time,the expression levels of TLR2,MyD88 and MMP-9 in the T2.5 treatment group were significantly lower than those in the ischemic group (all P＜ 0.05),and the blood-brain barrier permeability,brain edema degree,cerebral infarction volume,and neurological deficit score were significantly reduced (all P＜ 0.05).Conclusion TLR2,MyD88 and MMP-9 might be involved in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.TLR2 antagonist T2.5 might inhibit the expression of MMP-9 through TLR2-MyD88 signaling pathway,thus alleviating cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
ABSTRACT
Numerous studies have demonstrated that estrogens may exert multifaceted effects on the cardiovascular system via activating the classical nuclear receptors ERα or ERβ and the novel G protein coupled estrogen receptor (Gper). However, some studies have reported inconsistent cardiovascular phenotypes in Gper-deficient mice. The current study was aimed to reveal the effects of genetic deletion of Gper on the arterial blood pressure (ABP) and heart rate in rats. Gper-deficient Sprague-Dawley rats were generated by utilizing the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technique. ABP of 10-week old male (n = 6) and 12-week old female (n = 6) Gper-deficient rats and age-matched wild type (WT) rats (6 females and 6 males) were measured under awake and restrained conditions through the non-invasive tail-cuff method daily for 8 (females) or 9 days (males). In the male WT rats, ABP and heart rate were slightly higher in day 1 to 4 than those in day 5 to 9, indicative of stress-related sympathoexcitation in the first few days and gradual adaptation to the restrained stress in later days. Gper-deficient rats had significantly higher ABP initially (male: day 1 to day 5; female: day 1 to day 3) and similar ABP in later days of measurement compared with the WT rats. The heart rate of male Gper-deficient rats was consistently higher than that of the male WT rats from day 1 to day 8. Both male and female Gper-deficient rats appeared to show slower body weight gain than the WT counterparts during the study period. Under anesthesia, ABP of Gper-deficient rats was not significantly different from their WT counterparts. These results indicate that Gper-deficient rats may be more sensitive to stress-induced sympathoexcitation and highlight the importance of Gper in the regulation of the cardiovascular function in stressful conditions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of hyperthermia-induced MMP-9 on expression of claudin-1 in in vitro BBB model.Methods BMEC and astrocytes were cultured.An in vitro BBB model was established with its permeability assayed by LY test.The BBB model was randomly divided into 37℃ group,39℃ group,37℃+MMP-9 group and 39℃+MMP-9 group.The permeability of BBB model was recorded at 30,60 and 90 min respectively.Expression of claudin-1 in BMEC was detected by Western blot with immunocytochemical staining.Results The permeability of BBB model was higher in 39℃ group than in 37℃ group (P＜0.05) and was significantly higher in 39℃ +MMP-9 group than in 37℃ group (P＜0.05).The number of claudin-1 positive BMEC was smaller in 39℃ +MMP-9 group than in 37℃ group at the same time points (P＜0.05) and in 39℃ +MMP-9 group than in 39℃ group at 90 min (75.0±12.8/HP vs 97.0±6.1/HP,P＜0.05).The expression level of claudin-1 was lower in 39℃ group than in 37℃ group (P＜0.05) and was significantly higher in 39℃ +MMP-9 group than in 37℃ group (P＜0.05),which further increased with the increasing time.Conclusion Hyperthermia can downregulate the expression of claudin-1 in in vitro BBB model and upregulate the permeability of in vitro BBB model.Adding MMP-9 can further aggrevate the damage of in vitro BBB model,indicating that hyperthermia can aggrevate the damage of in vitro BBB model through MMP-9.

ABSTRACT
Elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level is an early manifestation of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). In the early stages of SCH, patients did not have significant clinical symptoms and were therefore often not taken seriously.However, more and more studies have shown that changes in TSH levels are closely related to human health in recent years. This paper summarizes and analyzes the literature about the effect of TSH on the health, summarizes the research progress of TSH and health relationship in recent 10 years, and provides a new way for the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the mechanism of ankle sprain varus, a kind of human ankle brace with asymmetric physiological structure which can protect the ankle effectively is designed. Methods The anatomic factors of ankle varus were analyzed firstly, and a kind of ankle brace with asymmetric structure was designed based on asymmetric structure of ankle joint by anatomy. Using Kinect system and Geomagic Studio software, 3D scanning and digital modeling on ankle joint of a male adult were performed, and the ankle model was established by 3D printing technology. With EVA film, silica gel film and wrapped edge copper network as raw materials, two kinds of ankle brace with asymmetric structure were prepared by 3D draping and composite materials processing technology. The shaping properties, tensile properties, fatigue performance, outer fabric breathability and friction of the designed brace were tested. Results The outside of ankle brace with asymmetric structure had good shaping property, low tensile elastic recovery rate. Under the effect of repeated small load, EVA composite materials and silicone composite materials could keep good elastic recovery and effectively bear external varus forces. The results from air permeability and grinding test showed that polyester material was a kind of suitable fabrics for the outer lining material. Conclusions The mechanical properties of ankle brace with asymmetric structure can meet the requirement of ankle varus protection. The fabric of ankle brace can improve moisture permeability and frictional properties.
ABSTRACT
Ankle sprains are one of the most common surgical injuries in clinic. In this article, the foot anatomy structure was elaborated, and the biomechanics of ankle ligaments during sports was mainly reviewed. At the same time, the mechanism of ankle sprains was analyzed, the principal means of ankle sprains, prevention and rehabilitation at present were summarized, and the use of ankle braces to prevent ankle sprains as well as its research progress were introduced emphatically. The classification and characteristics of ankle braces were then summarized, and the prevention of ankle sprains and development of ankle braces were prospected. The multiple ankle lateral ligament damage was due to the physiological structure differences between lateral and medial ligaments of the ankle joints, and such structure characteristic should be considered while improving ankle braces and designing new ankle braces. Wearing ankle braces plays a key role in ankle sprains protection, which can shorten the recovery time and avoid re-injury in clinical rehabilitation. For rehabilitation of severe ankle sprains, semi-rigid ankle braces are better than elastic ones.
