ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Qihuang Yiqi Shexue prescription （QHYQSX） in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia （ITP） model mice based on the autophagy mediated by the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）/Unc-51-like kinase 1 （ULK1） signaling pathway. MethodFifty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal group， model group， high- and low-dose QHYQSX groups， and prednisone group， with 10 mice in each group. The ITP model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of anti-platelet serum （APS） of guinea pig. On the 8th day of the APS injection， drugs were administered by gavage for 14 days. Peripheral blood platelet （PLT） count and hemoglobin （Hb） concentration were detected. Spleen and thymus were separated， weighed， and the organ index was calculated. Sternum was sampled for bone marrow smear， and bone marrow megakaryocytes were classified under a microscope. Thrombopoietin （TPO）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， IL-10， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， transforming growth factor-β1 （TGF-β1）， and interferon-γ （IFN-γ） in the serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. AMPK， mTOR， ULK1， microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 （LC3）， Beclin1， and p62 mRNA expression levels in the spleen were detected by Real-time fluorescence-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. The protein expression of AMPK， p-AMPK， p-mTOR， p-ULK1， LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ， Beclin1， and p62 in the spleen was detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the normal group， the model group showed reduced peripheral blood PLT count， Hb， and TPO levels （P<0.05，P<0.01）， increased spleen and thymus indexes （P<0.01）， decreased number of bone marrow megakaryocytes （P<0.01）， elevated serum levels of IL-6， TNF-α， and IFN-γ （P<0.01）， and reduced IL-10 and TGF-β1 levels （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the groups with drug intervention showed increased PLT counts and TPO levels （P<0.01）， decreased spleen and thymus indexes （P<0.05， P<0.01）， elevated number of bone marrow megakaryocytes （P<0.05， P<0.01）， reduced serum levels of IL-6， TNF-α， and IFN-γ （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and up-regulated IL-10 and TGF-β1 levels （P<0.05，P<0.01）. Compared with the low-dose QHYQSX group， the high-dose QHYQSX group and the prednisone group showed different degrees of significant differences in improving PLT counts and levels of cellular inflammatory factors （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Real-time PCR and Western blot results showed that compared with the normal group， the model group showed up-regulated mRNA expression of AMPK， LC3， and Beclin1 and protein expression of p-AMPK/AMPK， LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ， and Beclin1 in the spleen （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and down-regulated mRNA expression of mTOR， ULK1， and p62 and protein expression of p-mTOR， p-ULK1， and p62 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the results in the model group， high- and low-dose QHYQSX and prednisone could down-regulate the mRNA expression of AMPK， LC3， and Beclin1 and protein expression of p-AMPK/AMPK， LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ， and Beclin1 in the spleen （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and up-regulate the mRNA expression of mTOR， ULK1， and p62 and protein expression of p-mTOR， p-ULK1， and p62 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionQHYQSX may inhibit excessive autophagy by regulating the AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway， thereby regulating immune intolerance and playing a role in the treatment of ITP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the treatment effect on cervical Paiteling cervical high-risk human papiloma virus(HPV) infection outcome.MethodsRandomly selected from our hospital during January 2014 to January 2016 in 120 cases of cervical high-risk HPV infection patients as the research object, of which 40 cases were treated with Paiteling treatment (Paiteling group), 40 patients were treated with foscarnet sodium (foscarnet sodium group).Another 40 patients without intervention (control group).The outcome of HPV infection in three groups was compared.ResultsPatients with negative rate of special spirit (87.50%) and foscarnet sodium group (55.00%) and control group (50.00%) was statistically significant(P<0.05), and the special spirit Group continued the positive rate (2.50%) was significantly lower than the control group (42.50%) and foscarnet sodium group (37.50%).However, there was no significant difference between the groups in the rate of improvement and the incidence of new infections.There was no significant difference between the control group and the positive rate (50.00%) in the control group (42.50%) compared with that in the control group.ConclusionPaiteling treatment of clinical effect of cervical high-risk HPV infection, can effectively improve the symptoms of HPV infection, which can shorten the HPV clearance time, has positive clinical significance.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To isolate and purify three principal degraded impurities of mitiglinide calcium (impurity A,B,C) and identify their structures,establish HPLC method for content determination of impurity A,B,C. METHODS:Mitiglinide calci-um was used as raw material and reacted with acid;3 impurities were then separated by HPLC and their structures were elucidated by IR,MS,1H NMR,13C NMR,LC-ESI-MS and ORD. 3 impurities of 3 batches of mitiglinide calcium were determined,and the determination was performed on Agilent Extend-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of 0.01 mol/L sodium acetate solution-ace-tonitrile-triethylamine(60:40:0.1,pH=3.0)at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The detection wavelength was set at 210 nm and sam-ple size was 20 μl. The response tests of 3 impurities and mitiglinide calcium were conducted. RESULTS:After treated with acid, impurity A,B,C had been obtained,and their purity were 99.05%,98.87%,99.98%,respectively after isolation and purifica-tion;after identifying the structure, 3 impurities were S-2-bezylsuccinic acid, S-2-bezylsuccinic acid-4-methyl ester, methyl (2S)-2-benzyl-3-(cis-hexahydroisoindolin-2-ylcarbonyl) propionate;methodological study of content determination of impurities were all up to the requirement. The linear range of impurity A,B,C were 0.387 5-3.875,0.395-3.95 and 0.392 5-3.925 μg/ml(all r were 1.000 0). The response value of impurity A,B,C and mitiglinide calcium were 2.316 1,2.636 1,2.617 8 and 2.620 4,re-spectively. CONCLUSIONS:The structures of 3 principal degraded impurities of mitiglinide calcium have been identified and con-firmed;the content of them can be determined by HPLC main component self-comparison method.
