ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Obesity and its relevant chronic inflammation are important risk factors for inducing type 2 diabetes.This inflammatory response will further involve skeletal muscle,leading to an increase in catabolic and autophagic fluxes in skeletal muscle.Aerobic exercise is the mainstream mode of exercise in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes,and may also has a certain protective effect on skeletal muscle. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects and regulatory mechanisms of aerobic exercise on glucolipid metabolism,skeletal muscle inflammation and autophagy in type 2 diabetic rats. METHODS:Animal models of type 2 diabetes were established in rats by 8-week high-fat feeding combined with streptozotocin injection,and the experimental rats were then divided into normal control group,normal exercise group,diabetic control group and diabetic exercise group.The exercise group performed 4 weeks of aerobic exercise(16 m/min,60 min/d,5 d/wk).The levels of blood glucose,high-density lipoprotein,low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride in serum were measured by an automated biochemical analyzer.Serum insulin level was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the insulin resistance index and area under the glucose metabolism curve were calculated.The levels of interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor α in skeletal muscle were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay after 4 weeks of aerobic exercise,and the expression levels of forkhead box protein O3(FoxO3),LC3 and p62 in skeletal muscle were measured by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The area under the glucose tolerance curve and insulin resistance index both increased significantly in type 2 diabetic rats(P<0.001,P=0.025),and aerobic exercise significantly reduced the area under the glucose tolerance curve and insulin resistance index in the normal exercise group(P<0.001,P=0.038)and diabetic exercise group(P<0.001,P=0.004).Serum high-density lipoprotein significantly decreased(P=0.030),and low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride(P=0.027,P=0.014)levels significantly increased in the diabetic control group compared with the normal control group.Aerobic exercise significantly reduced triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein levels in the normal exercise group(P=0.019,P=0.008)as well as triglyceride levels in the diabetic exercise group(P=0.022).Both interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor α levels were significantly increased in the skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic rats compared with the normal control group(P<0.001,P=0.007),and aerobic exercise significantly reduced tumor necrosis factor α levels in the diabetic exercise group(P=0.017).The LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I was significantly increased in the skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic rats compared with the normal control group.Aerobic exercise significantly increased the LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I in the normal exercise group(P<0.001)and decreased the LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I,FoxO3 and p62 protein expression levels in the diabetic exercise group(P=0.026,P=0.050,P=0.048).To conclusion,type 2 diabetes model established by high-fat feeding combined with streptozotocin injection has obvious glycolipid metabolism disorder,and leads to inflammatory response and excessive activation of autophagy in skeletal muscle.Aerobic exercise can improve glycolipid metabolism,reduce local inflammation in skeletal muscle and inhibit autophagy,and finally play a protective role in skeletal muscle.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Epidemiological research data on sarcopenia in China are concentrated in some provincial capitals and developed areas,while research on sarcopenia in the elderly in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is at the initial stage,and there is still a lack of understanding of the development mechanism,influencing factors and prevention methods of sarcopenia. OBJECTIVE:Based on the 2019 Asian Sarcopenia Working Group Standard(AWGS2019),to assess sarcopenia in the elderly in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau,while analyzing the prevalence and risk factors of sarcopenia in the elderly. METHODS:A total of 1 327 elderly study subjects(650 males and 677 females)were recruited and their socio-demographic characteristics,clinical data and physical activity levels were collected.The prevalence of sarcopenia was screened using the AWGS2019 criteria.The possible influencing factors for sarcopenia were screened by univariate analysis,including χ2 test for comparing count data and t-test for comparing measurement data,and the indicators through univariate screening were included in the binary logistic regression model to assess the risk factors for sarcopenia,and then the odds ratio(OR)and 95%confidence interval(CI)were calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The prevalence of sarcopenia in the elderly in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was 14.62%(12.73%male and 16.49%female).Aging(OR=1.158,95%CI:1.133-1.185),female(OR=2.416,95%CI:1.629-3.586),fasting blood glucose≥7.0 mmol/L(OR=1.653,95%CI:1.071-2.551),smoking(OR=1.595,95%CI:1.043-2.438)and a low physical activity level(OR=1.778,95%CI:1.154-2.737)were all independent risk factors for sarcopenia,while body mass index was a protective factor for sarcopenia(OR=0.708,95%CI:0.583-0.859).These findings indicate that aging,female,fasting glucose≥7.0 mmol/L,smoking and low physical activity levels all increase the risk of sarcopenia,while increased body mass index can decrease the risk of sarcopenia.To conclude,the elderly(especially women)should maintain a healthy lifestyle and slightly higher body mass index levels during the aging process,thus reducing the risk of sarcopenia.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between blood stasis constitution (BSC) and diseases based on constitution literature involving “constitution-diseases correlation”. MethodsA comprehensive search was conducted on six Chinese and English electronic databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed and Embase to find all clinical researches on the correlation between constitution and diseases using the Classification and Identification of Chinese Medicine Constitution standard from April 1st, 2009 to December 31st, 2022, and the participants of the research were BSC related. By analyzing the characteristics of the literature, such as authors, publication institutes, participants, and results, the disease with the highest proportion of BSC distribution or BSC as their risk factors or protective factors were summarized to explore the correlation between BSC and diseases. ResultsTotally 135 clinical studies on diseases highly related to BSC were included, with a total sample size of 71 172 cases.There were 27 keywords in the articles appeared more than 3 times, including the elderly, lumbar disc herniation, coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and endometriosis. In the author's clustering, included studis were mainly from Shenzhen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, and Wenzhou Central Hospital. In terms of blood stasis related diseases, 81 studies showed that BSC was the most common type of constitution in the study population, involving 48 disease or morbid states. The diseases and median proportions of BSC with reported literature ≥3 included coronary heart disease (28.8%), endometriosis (31.3%), neurocognitive impairment (26.4%), lumbar disc herniation (26.0%), ischemic stroke (25.0%), adenomyosis (34.7%), and endometrial polyps (25.0%). Fifty-eight studies found that BSC was a risk factor for disease occurrence,and these diseases reported more than 3 times included hypertension (median OR = 2.956), type 2 diabetes (median OR = 3.436),osteoporosis (median OR = 5.171), sudden deafness (median OR = 3.827) and endometriosis (median OR = 5.412). One study indicated BSC as the protective factor of lateral growth tumor of large intestine (median OR = 0.161). ConclusionBSC is closely related to circulatory system diseases, urogenital system diseases, and musculoskeletal system diseases.

ABSTRACT

As the country with the largest number of new cancer cases and deaths,China faces a serious situation with a large cancer population base,low relative survival rate,and low adherence to cancer screening.Neighboring Japan,which has the longest life expectancy in the world,has a much higher relative survival rate than China,despite having a similarly high cancer rate,due to its well-established system of cancer prevention and control.Being an Asian country,the major prevalent cancers in China and Japan are similar in spectrum and can be referred to more.This article introduces the construction of Japan's cancer life-cycle prevention and control system of"cancer prevention","cancer care",and"coexistence with cancer"starting from the three major goals of Japan's cancer prevention and control program,and focuses on the improvement of cancer screening in Japan and the improvement of cancer survival in China.It also highlights the means and methods used to increase the cancer screening rate in Japan,with a view to providing suggestions for cancer prevention and control in China.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Hair follicles are easily accessible and contain stem cells with different developmental origins, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), that consequently reveal the potential of human hair follicle (hHF)-derived MSCs in repair and regeneration. However, the role of hHF-MSCs in Achilles tendinopathy (AT) remains unclear. The present study investigated the effects of hHF-MSCs on Achilles tendon repair in rabbits.@*METHODS@#First, we extracted and characterized hHF-MSCs. Then, a rabbit tendinopathy model was constructed to analyze the ability of hHF-MSCs to promote repair in vivo . Anatomical observation and pathological and biomechanical analyses were performed to determine the effect of hHF-MSCs on AT, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and immunohistochemical staining were performed to explore the molecular mechanisms through which hHF-MSCs affects AT. Furthermore, statistical analyses were performed using independent sample t test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and one-way repeated measures multivariate ANOVA as appropriate.@*RESULTS@#Flow cytometry, a trilineage-induced differentiation test, confirmed that hHF-derived stem cells were derived from MSCs. The effect of hHF-MSCs on AT revealed that the Achilles tendon was anatomically healthy, as well as the maximum load carried by the Achilles tendon and hydroxyproline proteomic levels were increased. Moreover, collagen I and III were upregulated in rabbit AT treated with hHF-MSCs (compared with AT group; P  < 0.05). Analysis of the molecular mechanisms revealed that hHF-MSCs promoted collagen fiber regeneration, possibly through Tenascin-C (TNC) upregulation and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 downregulation.@*CONCLUSIONS@#hHF-MSCs can be a treatment modality to promote AT repair in rabbits by upregulating collagen I and III. Further analysis revealed that treatment of AT using hHF-MSCs promoted the regeneration of collagen fiber, possibly because of upregulation of TNC and downregulation of MMP-9, thus suggesting that hHF-MSCs are more promising for AT.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate whether 3D-printed artificial vertebral body can reduce prosthesis subsidence rate for patients with cervical chordomas, through comparing the rates of prosthesis subsidence between 3D printing artificial vertebral body and titanium mesh for anterior spinal reconstruction after total spondylectomy.@*METHODS@#This was a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent surgical treatment for cervical chordoma at our hospital from March 2005 to September 2019. There were nine patients in the group of 3D artificial vertebral body (3D group), and 15 patients in the group of titanium mesh cage (Mesh group). The patients' characteristics and treatment data were extracted from the medical records, including age, gender, CT hounsfield unit of cervical vertebra and surgical information, such as the surgical segments, time and blood loss of surgery, frequency and degree of prosthesis subsidence after surgery. Radiographic observations of prosthesis subsidence during the follow-up, including X-rays, CT, and magnetic resonance imaging were also collected. SPSS 22.0 was used to analysis the data.@*RESULTS@#There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender, age, CT hounsfield unit, surgical segments, time of surgery, blood loss of posterior surgery and total blood loss. Blood loss of anterior surgery was 700 (300, 825) mL in 3D group and 1 500 (750, 2 800) mL in Mesh group (P < 0.05). The prosthesis subsidence during the follow-up, 3 months after surgery, there was significant difference between the two groups in mild prosthesis subsidence (P < 0.05). The vertebral height of the 3D group decreased less than 1 mm in eight cases (no prosthesis subsidence) and more than 1 mm in one case (mild prosthesis subsidence). The vertebral height of the Mesh group decreased less than 1 mm in five cases (no prosthesis subsidence), and more than 1 mm in eight cases (mild prosthesis subsidence). Two patients did not have X-rays in 3 months after surgery. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in the prosthesis subsidence rate at the end of 12 months (P < 0.01). The vertebral height of eight cases in the 3D group decreased less than 1 mm (no prosthesis subsidence) and one case more than 3 mm (severe prosthesis subsidence). Four of the 15 cases in the Mesh group decreased less than 1 mm (no prosthesis subsidence), two cases more than 1 mm (mild prosthesis subsidence), and nine cases more than 3 mm (severe prosthesis subsidence). There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in the prosthesis subsidence rate at the end of 24 months (P < 0.01). The vertebral height of seven cases in the 3D group decreased less than 1 mm (no prosthesis subsidence), one case more than 3 mm (severe prosthesis subsidence), and one case died with tumor. One case in the Mesh group decreased less than 1 mm (no prosthesis subsidence), one case more than 1 mm (mild prosthesis subsidence), 11 case more than 3 mm (severe prosthesis subsidence), one case died with tumor and one lost the follow-up. Moreover, at the end of 12 months and 24 months, there was significant difference between the two groups in severe prosthesis subsidence rate (P < 0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#3D-printed artificial vertebral body for anterior spinal reconstruction after total spondylectomy for patients with cervical chordoma can provide reliable spinal stability, and reduce the incidence of prosthesis subsidence after 2-year follow-up.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the distribution and antibiotics resistance of the main pathogens of neonatal purulent meningitis in different regions of China.Methods:A retrospective descriptive clinical epidemiological study was conducted in children with neonatal purulent meningitis which admitted to 18 tertiary hospitals in different regions of China between January 2015 to December 2019. The test results of blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and drug sensitivity test results of the main pathogens were collected. The distributions of pathogenic bacteria in children with neonatal purulent meningitis in preterm and term infants, early and late onset infants, in Zhejiang Province and other regions outside Zhejiang Province, and in Wenzhou region and other regions of Zhejiang Province were analyzed. The chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 210 neonatal purulent meningitis cases were collected. The common pathogens were Escherichia coli ( E. coli)(41.4%(87/210)) and Streptococcus agalactiae ( S. agalactiae)(27.1%(57/210)). The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in preterm infants (77.6%(45/58)) with neonatal purulent meningitis was higher than that in term infants (47.4%(72/152)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=15.54, P=0.001). There were no significant differences in the constituent ratios of E. coli (36.5%(31/85) vs 44.8%(56/125)) and S. agalactiae (24.7%(21/85) vs 28.8%(36/125)) between early onset and late onset cases (both P>0.05). The most common pathogen was E. coli in different regions, with 46.7%(64/137) in Zhejiang Province and 31.5%(23/73) in other regions outside Zhejiang Province. In Zhejiang Province, S. agalactiae was detected in 49 out of 137 cases (35.8%), which was significantly higher than other regions outside Zhejiang Province (11.0%(8/73)). The proportions of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus in other regions outside Zhejiang Province (17.8%(13/73) and 16.4%(12/73)) were both higher than those in Zhejiang Province (2.9%(4/137) and 5.1%(7/137)). The differences were all statistically significant ( χ2=14.82, 12.26 and 7.43, respectively, all P<0.05). The proportion of Gram-positive bacteria in Wenzhou City (60.8%(31/51)) was higher than that in other regions in Zhejiang Province (38.4%(33/86)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.46, P=0.011). E. coli was sensitive to meropenem (0/45), and 74.4%(32/43) of them were resistant to ampicillin. E. coli had different degrees of resistance to other common cephalosporins, among which, cefotaxime had the highest resistance rate of 41.8%(23/55), followed by ceftriaxone (32.4%(23/71)). S. agalactiae was sensitive to penicillin, vancomycin and linezolid. Conclusions:The composition ratios of pathogenic bacteria of neonatal purulent meningitis are different in different regions of China. The most common pathogen is E. coli, which is sensitive to meropenem, while it has different degrees of resistance to other common cephalosporins, especially to cefotaxime.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of using bio-artificial dura mater to wrap around skeletonized hepatic artery during pancreatoduodenectomy in the prevention of gastroduodenal artery(GDA)stump related delayed bleeding.Methods:Clinical data were collected from 45 patients undergoing the bio-artificial dura mater wrapping skeletonized hepatic artery during pancreatoduodenectomy from Oct 2022 to Apr 2023 at Department of General Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University.Results:Among the 45 patients, the bio-artificial dura mater was used to completely wrap the GDA stump and part of the common hepatic artery and the proper hepatic artery. The mean operative time was (308.1±93.1) min, the mean wrapping artery time was (18.7±7.5) min. Clinically relevant postoperative grade B pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) occurred in 6 cases (13.3%), and intra-abdominal infection in 2 cases (4.4%).The rate of bile leakage was 2.2%.There were no second surgical operation, nor perioperative death. Postoperative delayed bleeding occurred in one case (2.2%) on the right hepatic artery branch near the hepatic portal. No pseudoaneurysm formation, nor bleeding occurring in any of the arteries wrapped by bio-artificial dura mater (including the GDA stump) after PD. There were no postoperative hepatic artery wrapping complications, such as hepatic artery stenosis, mesh-associated fluid accumulation and infection.Conclusion:Bio-artificial dura mater wrapping skeletonized hepatic artery technique in the process of pancreaticoduodenectomy can reduce the risk of delayed bleeding due to erosion of GDA stumps in case of post-PD pancreatic fistula.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To understand the correlation of different ultrasound characteristics with thyroid cancer, and evaluate the effect and safety of different surgical strategies in pathological suspected cancer and highly suspected cancer by pure ultrasound.Methods:The clinical data of 679 patients (787 thyroid nodules) underwent thyroid surgery from August 2016 to December 2019 in Beijing Daxing District People′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including ultrasound characteristics (echo, margin, form, ratio of tall to wide, calcification), surgery data (operation time, surgical strategies, whether the second surgery), recovery process (whether combined with secondary injury, including hoarse voice and choking on drinking water; drainage tube retention time and postoperative drainage), pathological examination results (pathological types, whether included parathyroid gland in the submitted specimen and whether lymph node metastasis). The effect and safety were compared between dissection and non-dissection of central group lymph nodes in pathological suspected cancer patients and highly suspected cancer by pure ultrasound patients.Results:Among the 787 thyroid nodules, 316 nodules (40.2%) were malignant nodules, including 308 papillary carcinomas; 471 nodules (59.8%) were benign nodules. The rates of low echo, unclear margin, form irregularity, ratio of tall to wide >1 and microcalcification in malignant nodules were significantly higher than those in benign nodules: 90.5% (286/316) vs. 38.9% (183/471), 52.5% (166/316) vs. 11.5% (54/471), 53.8% (170/316) vs. 11.5% (54/471), 30.4% (96/316) vs. 5.5%(26/471) and 65.5% (207/316) vs. 8.7% (41/471), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). Among 26 patients with pathological suspected cancer, there were no statistical difference in operation time, drainage tube retention time, postoperative drainage, surgical complications and paraffin pathology result between patients with dissection of central group lymph nodes (17 cases) and patients without dissection of central group lymph nodes (9 cases) ( P>0.05); the patients with dissection of the central group lymph nodes were all proved to be cancer by paraffin pathology examination. The highly suspected cancer by pure ultrasound was in 57 cases, there were no statistical difference in operation time, drainage tube retention time, postoperative drainage, choking on drinking water or hoarse voice between patients with dissection of central group lymph nodes (23 cases) and patients without that dissection (34 cases) ( P>0.05); the incidence of parathyroid gland in the submitted specimen and malignant rate of paraffin pathology result in patients with dissection of central group lymph nodes were significantly higher than those without that dissection: 39.1% (9/23) vs. 2.9% (1/34) and 30.4% (7/23) vs. 8.8% (3/34), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). Conclusions:Thyroid ultrasound characteristics have important predictive value. It is recommended to clean central group lymph node in most cases of pathological suspected cancer; while when highly suspected cancer by pure ultrasound happens, it is recommended to clean lymph node only when lymph node metastasis is highly suspected.

Methods:The photon spectrum and ionization chamber wall correction factor of the radioactive source housing and irradiator model are calculated by Monte Carlo code. And then the photon energy, wall thickness and ionization chamber diameter, which affect the result of the chamber wall correction factor, are simulated.Results:After calculation, the simulation result of the correction factor of spherical graphite cavity ionization chamber wall was 1.037 7. Controlling a single variable, photon energy (0.3-1.3 MeV), wall thickness (0.2-0.5 cm), inner diameter (0.5 -15 cm), the maximum deviations of wall correction result were 1.62%, 3.30% and 2.86%, respectively.Conclusions:The self-made spherical graphite cavity ionization chamber has good performance, and the corrected kwall value of the chamber wall is within a reasonable range. The completion of the chamber wall correction factor is an important step to measure the reference air kerma rate of the 192Ir radioactive source and establish the measurement benchmark.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the use of the da Vinci robot in distal pancreatectomy.Methods:The data of 53 patients who underwent minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy at the Department of General Surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from February 2017 to March 2022 were retrospectively analysed. There were 16 males and 37 females, aged (48.2±16.9) years. These patients were divided into the robot assisted pancreatectomy group (the robot group, n=18) and the laparoscopic pancreatectomy group (the laparoscopic group, n=35) based on the surgical treatment methods. The operations were performed by the same team of surgeons. All patients were diagnosed to have benign or borderline malignant tumors of body and tail of pancreas by preoperative examinations. The success rate of spleen preservation distal pancreatectomy, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, and postoperative complications (including pancreatic fistula, postoperative bleeding, abdominal infection) were compared between the two groups. Results:Spleen preserving distal pancreatectomy was successfully carried out in 13 patients (72.2%) in the robot group and 15 patients (42.9%) in the laparoscopic group. The rate of spleen preservation in the robot group was significantly higher than that in the laparoscopic group (χ 2=4.11, P=0.043). Intraoperative blood loss (104.4±69.3) ml and time to first postoperative passage of flatus were (3.7±1.0) d in the robot group were significantly better than the laparoscopic group (199.4±102.9) ml and (4.8±1.3) d, respectively (both P<0.05). The total incidence of complications in the robot group was 7 cases (38.9%), compared with 14 cases (40.0%) in the laparoscopic group, with no significant difference between the two groups(χ 2=0.006, P=0.938). Conclusions:Robotic-assisted distal pancreatectomy was safe and feasible, and it had advantages in resulting in better spleen preservation than laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the therapeutic effects of total saponins from Panax notognseng (PNS) combined with cyclophosphamide (CTX) in mice bearing hepatocellular carcinoma H22 cell xenograft.@*METHODS@#We examined the effects of treatment with different concentrations of PNS on H22 cell proliferation for 24 to 72 h in vitro using CCK8 colorimetric assay. Annexin V/PI double fluorescence staining was used to detect the effect of PNS on apoptosis of H22 cells. Mouse models bearing H22 cell xenograft were established and treated with CTX (25 mg/kg), PNS (120, 240 or 480 mg/kg), alone or in combinations. After treatments for consecutive 10 days, the mice were euthanized for examinations of carbon clearance ability of the monocytes and macrophages, splenic lymphocyte proliferation, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin-2 (IL-2), serum hemolysin antibody level, blood indicators, and the tumor inhibition rate.@*RESULTS@#Treatment with PNS concentration-dependently inhibited the proliferation and significantly promoted apoptosis of cultured H22 cells (P < 0.01). In the tumor-bearing mouse models, PNS alone and its combination with CTX both resulted in obvious enhancement of phagocytosis of the monocyte-macrophages, stimulated the proliferation of splenic lymphocytes, promoted the release of TNF-α and IL-2 and the production of serum hemolysin antibody, and increased the number of white blood cells, red blood cells and lymphocytes in the peripheral blood. Treatment with 480 mg/kg PNS combined with CTX resulted in a tumor inhibition rate of 83.28% (P < 0.01) and a life prolonging rate of 131.25% in the mouse models (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#PNS alone or in combination with CTX can improve the immunity and tumor inhibition rate and prolong the survival time of H22 tumor-bearing mice.

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the effects of bigelovin on mouse model of imiquimod-induced psoriatic itch and its mechanism. Methods Psoriasis-like mouse model was established by applying imiquimod cream on the back skin of mouse. Psoriasis area and severity index, pathological changes, the expression levels of inflammatory factors and related molecular biological data were used as effect indicators. The changes of the above parameters were observed after administration of different concentrations of bigelovin. Then the possible mechanism of the effects was further analysed.Results Compared with the model group, bigelovin significantly decreased the symptoms of skin lesions and reduced the PASI score. Bigelovin alleviated epidermal thickening and reduced the expression of Ki67 in a dose-dependent manner. The expression levels of inflammatory factors were reduced in both skin and serum.The percentage of Th17 cells was reduced and the percentage of Treg cells was increased in the lymph node.In addition, bigelovin also inhibited the phosphorylation of P65 protein and significantly reduced the nuclear localization of P65, suggesting that bigelovin might inhibit the activation of P65 protein. Conclusions The effect of bigelovin on improving the signs and symptoms of imiquimod-induced psoriasis mice may be related to the inhibition of P65 protein phosphorylation in keratinocytes.
