ABSTRACT

We conducted a randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled, multicenter trial on the use of Shuanghuanglian (SHL), a traditional Chinese patent medicine, in treating cases of COVID-19. A total of 176 patients received SHL by three doses (56 in low dose, 61 in middle dose, and 59 in high dose) in addition to standard care. The control group was composed of 59 patients who received standard therapy alone. Treatment with SHL was not associated with a difference from standard care in the time to disease recovery. Patients with 14-day SHL treatment had significantly higher rate in negative conversion of SARS-CoV-2 in nucleic acid swab tests than the patients from the control group (93.4% vs. 73.9%, P = 0.006). Analysis of chest computed tomography images showed that treatment with high-dose SHL significantly promoted absorption of inflammatory focus of pneumonia, which was evaluated by density reduction of inflammatory focus from baseline, at day 7 (mean difference (95% CI), -46.39 (-86.83 to -5.94) HU; P = 0.025) and day 14 (mean difference (95% CI), -74.21 (-133.35 to -15.08) HU; P = 0.014). No serious adverse events occurred in the SHL groups. This study illustrated that SHL in combination with standard care was safe and partially effective for the treatment of COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Our previous findings indicate that inflammation-activated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium (MSC-CM) contribute to repairing the structure and function of the small intestine after radiation-induced acute intestinal injury. However, it is unclear whether the repair effect can be achieved by regulating small intestinal stem cells. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of inflammation-activated bone marrow MSC-CM on the small intestinal epithelial stem cells after acute radiation-induced intestinal injury and to further discuss the repairing mechanism. METHODS: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells of Sprague-Dawley rats were separated, cultured and identified. Then, the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were co-cultured with normal or radiation-induced IEC-6 cell lines in the Transwell system for 24 hours. Inflammation-activated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured alone for 48 hours. Non-activated MSC-CM (MSC-CMNOR) and MSC-CM under radiation-induced inflammatory condition (MSC-CMIR) were collected. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats (provided by the Experimental Center of Sun Yat-Sen University North Campus) were randomly divided into four groups with 20 rats in each group: control group, radiation group, radiation+MSC-CMNOR group and radiation+MSC-CMIR group. The rats in the latter three groups were exposed to one-off 14 Gy whole abdominal radiation to make a rat model of acute radiation-induced small intestinal injury. Three-day continuous administration beginning within 4 hours after successful modeling was given via the tail vein and intraperitoneal implantation of Alzet micro-osmotic pumps: EMEM-F12 (200 μL/d) for the radiation group, MSC-CMNOR for radiation+MSC-CMNOR group and MSC-CMIR for radiation+MSC-CMIR group. There was 2 mL of concentrated conditioned medium in the pump which was released at a constant rate of 10 μL/h into the abdominal cavity after implantation. Intestinal samples were collected at 1, 3, 5, 7 days after radiation for immunochemistry staining, western blot and qRT-PCR detection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) On the 3rd day after radiation, Lgr5 positive cells, which were actively proliferating on the base of crypts, became significantly reduced compared with the normal control group, and there was nearly no existing Lgr5 positive cells. However, after infusion of MSC-CMIR, Lgr5 positive intestinal stem cells were significantly increased compared with the radiation group, while in the radiation+MSCNOR group, there was no significant increase in Lgr5 positive intestinal stem cells. (2) On the 3rd day after radiation injury, Bmi1 positive intestinal stem cells were almost invisible. After infusion of MSC-CMIR, Bmi1 positive intestinal stem cells increased significantly, and it was observed not only in the +4 cell position but also in the common position used to be Lgr5 stem cells, indicating that Bmi1 stem cells could differentiate into Lgr5 positive cells to act its repairing effect. (3) Western blot and qRT-PCR further confirmed that the radiation+MSC-CMIR group was significantly higher on the Lgr5 expression level than the radiation group and the radiation+MSC-CMNOR group, and it returned to the normal level on the 7th day after the continuous high expression level. The repair effect of radiation+MSC-CMNOR group was weaker, and only on the 7th day, the expression level of Lgr5 was statistically different from the radiation group. To conclude, inflammation-activated bone marrow MSC-CM exert a protective effect on the small intestinal epithelial stem cells after acute radiation-induced intestinal injury

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:A short-peptide small molecule hydrogel (SMH) developed in the previous study has more obvious advantages than other hydrogels to improve local microenvironment, carry bioactive substances and interfere with stem cell signal transduction pathways. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of SMHs on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation into myocardial cells. METHODS: (1) Passage 9 rat BMSCs in vitro were divided into control group and experimental group, followed by routine culture and culture in SMHs, respectively. At 7 days of culture, cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected. Cells in the two groups were exposed to anaerobic environment for 12 hours, and expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3 in BMSCs were detected. (2) Passage 9 BMSCs were divided into four groups and then cultured in 5-azacytidine, SMHs, SMHs+5-azacytidine, and L-DMEM (normal control), respectively. After 4 weeks of induction, expression of CTnT, desmin and Cx-43 proteins was detected and expression levels of early cardiac transcription factors, NKX2.5 and GATA-4, were also measured. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Compared with the control group, better proliferation and lower apoptosis of BMSCs were found in the experimental group. Under anaerobic conditions, the number of survival cells was reduced in both groups, but less apoptosis or necrosis was found in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the level of Bcl-2 was higher in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.01), while the levels of Bax and Caspases-3 protiens were lower in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.01). (2) NKx2.5 and GATA-4 mRNA expression was found in both 5-azacytidine and SMHs+5-azacytidine groups, and moreover, the mRNA levels of early cardiac transcription factors were significantly higher in the SMHs+5-azacytidine group than in the 5-azacytidine group (P < 0.05). In the normal control group, cTnT expressed negatively, and desmin and Cx-43 expressed weakly. The expression of cTnT, desmin and Cx-43 proteins was higher in the SMHs+5-azacytidine group than in the 5-azacytidine and SMHs groups, while there was no significant difference between the latter two groups. To conclude, SMHs as a culture medium is conducive to the proliferation of BMSCs, reduces cell apoptosis, and promotes myocardial differentiation of BMSCs.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo explore adrenal insufficiency in the preterm infants who had critical lung diseases and the relationship between adrenal insufifciency and long-term or short-term prognosis.Methods The basal cortisol and ACTH of iffty preterm infants enrolled were tested. The peak cortisol at 30 minutes after low dose ACTH stimulation was tested. The adrenal insufifciency was deifned as the concentration of the basal cortisol less than 15 μg/dl or the increment of cortisol concentration after low dose ACTH stimulation less than 9 μg/dl. The pretern infants with adrenal insufifciency were the AI group and others were the adrenal normality, AN group.Results Thirty-one cases were adrenal insufifciency in 50 preterm infants with critical lung disease. The incidence was 62%. The concentrations of the basal and peak cortisol in AI group were lower than those in AN group (P0.05). There was no signiifcant difference in the mortality and the incidence of BPD between two groups (P>0.05).Conclusions The incidence of adrenal insufifciency was high in the preterm infants with critical lung diseases, which may be due to insufifcient production of endogenous ACTH. When the adrenal insufifciency was happened, the blood pressure is relatively low in preterm infants with critical lung diseases, but it was not related to the mortality and the incidence of BPD.

ABSTRACT

How to detect the P300 component in EEG accurately and instantly is a hot problem in the research field of Brain-Computer Interface. In this paper, an algorithm based on F-score feature selection and support vector machines was introduced for P300 detection. Using F-score feature selection method, we reduced input features to overcome the shortcoming of support vector machines in terms of low detection speed, and then implemented the detection of P300 component with support vector machines, which have good classification performance. The algorithm was tested with a P300 dataset from the BCI competition 2003. The results showed that the algorithm achieved an accuracy of 100% in P300 detection within five repetitions, and the detection speed of this algorithm was 2 times higher than that of the traditional support vector machines algorithm without F-score feature selection.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To define the gene expression changes of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in response to norepinephrine (NE). METHODS: The expression adrenergic receptors (AR) were determined by radioligand binding assay in A7r5 cells. Gene expression profiles were identified by cDNA microarray after A7r5 cells were treated with NE for 24 h, and mRNA expressions of ? 1A -AR and ? 1B -AR were confirmed by real-time PCR. RESULTS: ? 1-AR and ?-AR existed in A7r5 cells. Seventy-five genes with changed expression in response to NE were screened out. These genes are involved in cell structure, cell/organism defense, metabolism, signal transduction and so on. ? 1A -, ? 1B -AR mRNA expression identified by microarray and realtime quantitive PCR displayed similar patterns. CONCLUSIONS: Gene expression profile in response to NE was analyzed comprehensively with the microarray technique. NE induces many kinds of different function genes in A7r5 cells, which may provide a novel insight into the particular role of NE that modulates multiple aspects of biological function in VSMCs. [
