ABSTRACT
Organ transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage organ failure. However, organ shortage has always been a common problem faced by countries around the world. The recognition and active participation of intensive care unit (ICU) medical staff in organ donation contributes to promoting the development of organ donation, thereby alleviating the shortage of donor organ. In this article, the key strategies of ICU donor management to promote organ donation and the key strategies of ICU medical staff management to promote organ donation were summarized, aiming to provide reference for organ donation practitioners (especially ICU medical staff) and jointly facilitate the professional development of organ donation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the anti-HBV effect of hypericin from the cellular level and to preliminarily explore its po-tential drug target point.Methods Liver cell line HepG2.2.15 cells secreting HBV particles were selected as the experimental ob-jects.Hypericin served as the HY group,lamivudine was taken as 3TC group and deionized water as the blank control group.The cells were grouped and administrated.The HBV-DNA copy level was measured at72 h after medication by Southern blot and fluo-rescent quantitative PCR;the inhibition rate of HBsAg and HBeAg was detected by using ELISA assay;the pgRNA expression level was tested by using Northern blot and fluorescent quantitative PCR;Western blot and fluorescent quantitative PCR were adopted to detect the expression of regulatory factors including HNF3β,HNF4α,PPARαand RXRα.Results Compared to the blank control group,both hypericin and lamivudine had significant inhibiting effect on HBV DNA and expression level of HBsAg and HBeAg in HepG2.2.15 cells (P <0.05).Hypericin could significantly decrease the pgRNA expression compared with the blank control group (P <0.05),while lamivudine had no obvious change (P <0.05).Moreover,hypericin exhibited significant effects on the expression of HNF3βand regulatory factor HNF4αcompared with the blank control group and 3TC group(P <0.05).Conclusion Hypericin represents a strong anti-HBV effect,moreover could increase the negative regulatory factor HNF3βn expression and decreases the positive factor HNF4αexpression,prompting that its drug target point could be pgRNA.
ABSTRACT
Liver cirrhosis is a common chronic progressive liver disease,and at present the most effective treatment for advanced liver cirrhosis is liver transplantation.However,main reasons of limiting the wide application of liver cirrhosis are liver source deficiency,expensive cost,graft rejection reaction,the complications caused by long-term application of immunosuppressant and so on.Stem cell transplantation has become a new method for the treatment of liver diseases due to its beneficial to the damaged liver tissue repair,and it can compensate part of liver function.The basis and clinical research progress,the existing problems and prospects of the bone mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for the treatment of liver cirrhosis are summarized,aiming to provide theoretical basis for the further research.
