ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) regulating the signal axis of stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α)/CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) on the mobilization of bone marrow endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) to peripheral blood in diabetes skin ulcer (DSU) rats.Methods:Twenty four SPF grade male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were selected to make the model of type 2 diabetes rats by intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg 1% (plastid ratio) streptozotocin, and then round full-thickness skin with a diameter of 2 cm was cut on both sides of the waist and back to make the skin ulcer model of diabetes rats. After that, they were randomly divided into AS-IV group (50 mg/kg AS-IV), blocker group (50 mg/kg AS-IV+ 5 mg/kg AMD3100) and model group. At the same time, a blank group ( n=8) was set up, The drug was administered via intraperitoneal injection, and the model group and blank group were treated with 0.9% NaCl of equal volume. On the 10th day, peripheral blood, femoral bone marrow, and wound neovascularization tissues of rats were collected. The number of EPCs in peripheral blood of each group of rats was measured by flow cytometry, and the protein expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in peripheral blood, femoral bone marrow, and wound neovascularization tissues of rats was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); At the same time, the wound healing rates of each group were tested. Results:On the 10th and 21st day after modeling, the wound healing rate of each group of rats was compared. The blank group healed the fastest, while the model group healed the slowest. The AS-IV group had better healing than the model group and the blocker group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). On the 10th day after modeling, the positive rates of peripheral blood EPCs in the white group, AS-IV group, and blocker group were significantly higher than those in the model group (all P<0.05), while the positive rates of peripheral blood EPCs in the blocker group were significantly lower than those in the AS-IV group (all P<0.05). On the 10th day after modeling, the protein expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in the wound, serum, and bone marrow of the model group was the lowest, while the protein expression in the blank group was the highest (all P<0.05). The protein expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in the wound, serum, bone marrow of the AS-IV group was significantly higher than that of the blocker group and model group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Astragaloside IV can promote the mobilization and migration of endothelial progenitor cells from bone marrow to peripheral blood in diabetes ulcer rats by regulating SDF-1α/CXCR4 signal axis, and can participate in angiogenesis of diabetes ulcer wounds as seed cells to promote the healing of diabetes skin ulcers.

ABSTRACT

Objective:The nasal swell body(NSB) consists of the nasal septal cartilage, nasal bone, and swollen soft tissue, all of which are visible during endoscopic and imaging examinations. Although the function of the NSB remains uncertain, there is evidence to suggest that it plays a vital role in regulating nasal airflow and filtering inhaled air. Based on anatomical and histological evidence, it is hypothesized that the NSB is indispensable in these processes. This study aims to investigate the impact of NSB on nasal aerodynamics and the deposition of allergen particles under physiological conditions. Methods:The three-dimensional (3D) nasal models were reconstructed from computed tomography (CT) scans of the paranasal sinus and nasal cavity in 30 healthy adult volunteers from Northwest China, providing basis for the construction of models without NSB following virtual NSB-removal surgery. To analyze the distribution of airflow in the nasal cavity, nasal resistance, heating and humidification efficiency, and pollen particle deposition rate at various anatomical sites, we employed the computed fluid dynamics(CFD) method for numerical simulation and quantitative analysis. In addition, we created fully transparent segmented nasal cavity models through 3D printing, which were used to conduct bionic experiments to measure nasal resistance and allergen particle deposition. Results:①The average width and length of the NSB in healthy adults in Northwest China were (12.85±1.74) mm and (28.30±1.92) mm, respectively. ②After NSB removal, there was no significant change in total nasal resistance, and cross-sectional airflow velocity remained essentially unaltered except for a decrease in topical airflow velocity in the NSB plane. ③There was no discernible difference in the nasal heating and humidification function following the removal of the NSB; ④After NSB removal, the deposition fraction(DF) of Artemisia pollen in the nasal septum decreased, and the DFs post-and pre-NSB removal were(22.79±6.61)% vs (30.70±12.27)%, respectively; the DF in the lower airway increased, and the DFs post-and pre-NSB removal were(24.12±6.59)% vs (17.00±5.57)%, respectively. Conclusion:This study is the first to explore the effects of NSB on nasal airflow, heating and humidification, and allergen particle deposition in a healthy population. After NSB removal from the healthy nasal cavities: ①nasal airflow distribution was mildly altered while nasal resistance showed no significantly changed; ②nasal heating and humidification were not significantly changed; ③the nasal septum's ability to filter out Artemisia pollen was diminished, which could lead to increased deposition of Artemisia pollen in the lower airway.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effects of remazolam and propofol on the hemodynamics during induction of anaesthesia in elderly patients using the area under curve (AUC) method.Methods:Eighty elderly patients of either sex, aged 65-75 yr, with body mass index of 20-28 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgery, were divided into 2 groups ( n=40 each) by using a random number table method: remazolam group (R group) and propofol group (P group). Remazolam 1 mg/ml or propofol 10 mg/ml was slowly and intravenously injected through titration to achieve loss of responsiveness to verbal command. The accumulative areas under the curve below (AUC MAP-) or above (AUC MAP+ ) baseline mean arterial pressure and under the curve below or above 10% of baseline heart rate at the same time (AUC HR-, AUC HR+ ) were calculated within the first 10 min after administration of propofol or remazolam. The use of vasoactive drugs and injection pain were recorded during this period. The intraoperative awareness during the 24-h follow-up after surgery and development of cardiovascular complications, cerebral infarction and oliguria or anuria within 30 days after surgery were recorded. Results:Compared with R group, AUC MAP- was significantly enlarged (the mean difference 59.375 mmHg·min, 95% confidence interval 26.763-91.987 mmHg·min), AUC HR- was enlarged ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in AUC MAP+, AUC HR+, requirement for vasoactive drugs, frequency of vasoactive drugs, and postoperative complications in P group ( P>0.05). No injection pain or intraoperative awareness was found in two groups. Conclusions:Remazolam is superior to propofol in maintaining hemodynamic stability during anesthesia induction in elderly patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the influence of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection on anxiety and depression in patients with chronic gastritis. Methods:From December 1 2020 to June 30 2021, 387 patients with chronic gastritis who visited the outpatient Department of Gastroenterology, the First Hospital Affiliated to Air Force Medical University were continuously recruited. According to the status of current H. pylori infection, the patients were divided into H. pylori uninfected group and H. pylori infected group. The general demographic information of patients was collected. Hamilton anxiety scale, Hamilton depression rating scale-24, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) were filled in. The detection rates of anxiety and depression were compared between the H. pylori uninfected group and the H. pylori infected group according to demographic characteristics. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:Finally, 360 patients with chronic gastritis were enrolled, including 200 patients in H. pylori uninfected group and 160 patients in H. pylori infected group. The detection rates of anxiety and depression of the H. pylori infected group were both higher than those of the H. pylori uninfected group (48.1%, 77/160 vs. 30.0%, 60/200; 25.0%, 40/160 vs. 12.5%, 25/200), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=12.39 and 9.39, P<0.001 and=0.002). The detection rate of anxiety of male patients in the H. pylori infected group was higher than that in the H. pylori uninfected group (45.1%, 32/71 vs. 24.5%, 27/110); the detection rate of depression of female patients in the H. pylori infected group was higher than that in the H. pylori uninfected group (30.3%, 27/89 vs. 11.1%, 10/90), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=8.27 and 10.09, P=0.004 and 0.001). The detection rates of anxiety and depression of patients less than 48 years old in the H. pylori infected group were both higher than those in the H. pylori uninfected group (46.2%, 37/80 vs. 21.9%, 21/96; 20.0%, 16/80 vs. 7.3%, 7/96), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=11.73 and 6.20, P=0.001 and 0.013). The detection rates of anxiety and depression of the patients with high school education and below in the H. pylori infected group were higher than those in the H. pylori uninfected group (56.5%, 48/85 vs. 31.7%, 38/120; 32.9%, 28/85 vs. 14.2%, 17/120), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=12.57 and 10.24, P<0.001 and =0.001). The results of multivariate analysis showed that H. pylori infection, history of hypertension, PSQI score ≥8, GSRS score ≥7, chronic superficial gastritis and chronic atrophic gastritis were independent risk factors of anxiety in patients with chronic gastritis( P<0.001, =0.013, =0.001, <0.001, =0.036, =0.021), and the risk of anxiety of patients with H. pylori infection was 2.509 times as much as that in uninfected patients (95% confidence interval 1.512 to 4.163). H. pylori infection, PSQI score ≥8, GSRS score≥7, and having overnight dish ≥3 times per week all were independent risk factors of depression in patients with chronic gastritis( P=0.004, =0.002, <0.001, =0.001). The risk of depression in patients with H. pylori infection was 2.563 times as much as that in uninfected patients (95% confidence interval 1.356 to 4.846). Conclusion:H. pylori infection is correlated to anxiety and depression in patients with chronic gastritis, and it is an independent risk factor of anxiety and depression in patients with chronic gastritis.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the anxiety and depression in patients with gallbladder polyps, gallbladder stones and post-cholecystectomy.Methods:From December 2020 to August 2021, consecutive patients who visited the Department of Gastroenterology, First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, were enrolled and divided into normal gallbladder group, gallbladder polyp group, gallbladder stone group and post-cholecystectomy group, with 100 patients in each group. Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were used to evaluate patients′ anxiety or depression. Quality of life, sleep quality and severity of gastrointestinal symptom were assessed by short form 36 (SF-36), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scale and gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) respectively. The incidence of anxiety or depression of patients in the 4 groups were compared, and the related risk factors of anxiety and depression were analyzed. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used for statistical analysis.Results:Among 400 patients, 89 patients (22.2%) suffered from anxiety; and the incidences of anxiety of normal gallbladder group, gallbladder polyp group, gallbladder stone group and post-cholecystectomy group were 9.0% (9/100), 19.0% (19/100), 25.0% (25/100) and 36.0% (36/100) respectively. There was statistically significant difference in the incidence of anxiety among the 4 groups ( χ2=22.12, P<0.001). The incidence rates of anxiety of the gallbladder polyp group, gallbladder stone group and post-cholecystectomy group were all higher than that of the normal gallbladder group, and the differences were all statistically significant ( χ2=4.15, 9.07 and 20.90, P=0.042, 0.003 and <0.001). The incidence of anxiety of post-cholecystectomy group was higher than that of gallbladder polyp group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=7.25, P=0.007). Among the 400 patients, 70 patients (17.5%) suffered from depression. The incidence rates of depression of the normal gallbladder group, gallbladder polyp group, gallbladder stone group and post-cholecystectomy group were 5.0% (5/100), 10.0% (10/100), 24.0% (24/100) and 31.0% (31/100) respectively. There was statistically significant difference in the incidence of depression among the 4 groups ( χ2=30.27, P<0.001). The incidences of depression of the gallbladder stone group and post-cholecystectomy group were both higher than that of the normal gallbladder group and gallbladder polyp group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=14.56, 22.90, 6.94 and 13.53, P<0.001, <0.001, =0.008 and <0.001). The results of multivariate analysis showed that history of cholecystectomy, history of coronary heart disease, consumption of overnight food ≥3 times per week, PSQI score ≥ 8 and GSRS score ≥9 were independent risk factors for anxiety ( OR, 95%confidence interval: 4.02, 1.60 to 10.13; 10.01, 2.15 to 46.68; 4.15, 1.87 to 9.19; 4.69, 2.58 to 8.52; 3.02, 1.64 to 5.58; P=0.003, 0.003, <0.001, <0.001, and <0.001). Gallbladder stones history of cholecystectomy, consumption of overnight food ≥3 times per week, consumption of fresh fruit < 200 g/d, PSQI score ≥8 and GSRS score ≥9 were independent risk factors for depression ( OR, 95%confidence interval: 4.40, 1.38 to 14.06; 4.97, 1.54 to 16.12; 4.23, 1.61 to 11.08; 3.78, 1.32 to 10.85; 5.59, 2.78 to 11.27, 4.19, 1.94 to 9.04; P=0.012, 0.007, 0.003, 0.014, <0.001 and <0.001). Conclusions:The incidences of anxiety and depression in patients with gallbladder stones or post-cholecystectomy are higher than that of people with normal gallbladder. A history of cholecystectomy is the independent risk factor for anxiety and depression. Gallbladder stones is the independent risk factor of depression. Clinical attention should be paid to the mental state of patients with gallbladder polyps, gallbladder stones, especially post-cholecystectomy.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and related factors of lamb′s tripe extract and vitamin B12 capsule (LTEVB12) in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis.Methods:From October 1st 2016 to April 30th 2021, 240 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis visited the Department of Gastroenterology at Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. All patients regularly took LTEVB12 (110 U/day, 3 times/day) for six months. At the end of treatment, endoscopy and gastric mucosal biopsy were conducted. The therapeutic effects were evaluated by comparing the changes of operative link on gastritis assessment (OLGA) and operative link on gastritis assessment based on intestinal metaplasia (OLGIM) staging before and after treatment. The related factors affecting the efficacy of the drug were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used for statistical analysis.Results:After half a year of treatment, the reversal efficiency of atrophy and intestinal metaplasia was 45.4% (109/240) and 37.9% (91/240), respectively, and the total efficiency was 62.9% (151/240). The reversal efficiency of OLGA and OLGIM staging reversed from high stage (stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ) to low stage (stage 0 to Ⅱ) was 53.4% (63/118) and 54.5% (36/66), respectively. The results of multivariate analysis showed that female, vitamin supplementation (≥3 times/week), negative or successful eradication of Helicobacter pylori and mild inflammatory status (inflammation score: 1 to 2) were associated with improving the efficacy of LTEVB12 (odds ratio=1.798, 3.730, 2.817 and 4.631, 95% confidence interval 1.055 to 3.064, 1.197 to 11.627, 1.171 to 6.779, 1.480 to 14.493; all P<0.05). High consumption of pickled food (≥3 times/week) was associated with reducing efficacy of LTEVB12 (odds ratio=0.384, 95%confidence interval 0.200 to 0.740). Conclusion:LTEVB12 has better reversal therapeutic effect on atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, and may reduce the risk of gastric cancer in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effects of mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) induced by astragaloside IV (AS-IV) on the biological function and pyroptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injured by high glucose.Methods:After human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (hUCBMSCs) were intervened with 400 mg/L of AS-IV, exosomes were extracted, and then the morphology and specific markers of exosomes were identified. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in a medium with a glucose concentration of 30 mmol/L to prepare a high glucose-impaired HUVECs model. High glucose-impaired HUVECs were randomly divided into experimental and model groups, with the experimental group intervened with 100 μg/ml of MSC-Exos and the model group intervened with an equal volume of PBS solution, while a blank control group was also set up. Cell counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) cell proliferation assay, adhesion assay, matrigel tube formation assay and scratch assay were used to detect the effects of AS-IV-mediated MSC-Exos on the proliferation, adhesion, tube formation and migrationability of HUVECs; Western blot and real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression of scorch death-related molecules, such as Caspase-1, GSDMD (Gasdermin D) and NLRP3 in each group.Results:The proliferation, adhesion number, tube number and migration width of HUVECs cells were significantly lower than those in the blank group ( P<0.05); The expression of Caspase-1, GSDMD, NLRP3 protein and their mRNA increased significantly ( P<0.001); Under the intervention of MSC-Exos mediated by AS-IV, the cell proliferation, adhesion number, tube number and migration width of HUVECs were significantly higher than those in the model group ( P<0.05); The expression of Caspase-1, GSDMD, NLRP3 protein and their mRNA decreased, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:AS-IV mediated MSC-Exos can significantly improve the biological function of high glucose-impaired endothelial cells, and its mechanism may be related to anti-pyroptosis.

ABSTRACT

Livestock husbandry is vital to economy of the Tarim Basin, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, China. However, there have been few surveys of the distribution of ixodid ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) and tick-borne pathogens affecting domestic animals at these locations. In this study, 3,916 adult ixodid ticks infesting domestic animals were collected from 23 sampling sites during 2012-2016. Ticks were identified to species based on morphology, and the identification was confirmed based on mitochondrial 16S and 12S rRNA sequences. Ten tick species belonging to 4 genera were identified, including Rhipicephalus turanicus, Hyalomma anatolicum, Rh. bursa, H. asiaticum asiaticum, and Rh. sanguineus. DNA sequences of Rickettsia spp. (spotted fever group) and Anaplasma spp. were detected in these ticks. Phylogenetic analyses revealed possible existence of undescribed Babesia spp. and Borrelia spp. This study illustrates potential threat to domestic animals and humans from tick-borne pathogens.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Energy metabolism regulates type 2 diabetes bone metabolism is a hotspot in the field of life medicine. Long-term disorders of energy metabolism such as sugar and lipids lead to insulin resistance, which triggers type 2 diabetes. Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide- dependent histone deacetylase, is a key factor regulating energy metabolism and is involved in bone metabolism, gene transcription, cellular senescence, apoptosis and pyroptosis. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the recent literature on the mechanism of action of SIRT1 in exercise-improving bone metabolism, and to investigate its current status and research progress. METHODS: Databases of PubMed and CNKI were retrieved. The keywords were “SIRT1, exercise, type 2 diabetes, bone formation, bone resorption” in Chinese and English, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The differentiation and function of osteoblasts and osteoclasts and the metabolic balance are the key to ensure the homeostasis of bone metabolism. In the event of a disorder, the morphological structure of the bone tissue will be degraded, which is also an important mechanism for the occurrence of osteoporosis in type 2 diabetes complications. (2) Energy metabolism disorder is critical for triggering type 2 diabetes. SIRT1, as a key factor regulating energy metabolism, can mediate osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation and function through Wnt and transforming growth factor-)} pathways. (3) Recently, exercise has been shown to significantly improve the energy metabolism and bone metabolism of type 2 diabetes. Based on the osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the current researches at home and abroad are reviewed to explore the mechanism of SIRT1 in the improvement of type 2 diabetes bone metabolism.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the deposition rate of Artemisia pollen in different nasal cavity regions and its influence factors in residents of northwest China.@*Methods@#Thirty healthy adults from northwest China were enrolled. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete phase model (DPM) were used for numerical simulation of nasal structures. The pollen deposition fraction in each anatomical part was counted and the effects of pollen density and breathing rate on deposition were analyzed. SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis.@*Results@#The hottest deposition parts of Artemisia pollen were nasal septum (30.70%±12.27%), vestibule (27.45%±8.21%), middle turbinate area (13.59%±8.98%) and nasopharynx (7.14%±5.90%). When the inspiratory flow rate increased to 30 L/min, the deposition rates of pollen in nasal vestibule and nasal septum were significantly higher than that at the rate of 15 L/min (43.20%±11.14% vs 27.45%±8.21%, 51.48%±9.77% vs 30.70%±12.27%, t value was -8.126,-5.264, respectively, all P<0.05), which indicated that with the increase of the inspiratory flow rate, the deposition hotspot moved forward. Compared with the wet Artemisia pollen, the deposition rate of the dry pollen in nasal vestibule and nasal septum decreased significantly (16.55%±4.33% vs 27.45%±8.21%, 7.09%±3.69% vs 30.70%±12.27%, t value was 8.669, 9.173, respectively, all P<0.05). The escape rate at outlet increased from 17.00%±9.57% to 43.48%±13.43% (t=-9.282, P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#The deposition of Artemisia pollen in nasal cavity is highly concentrated. The inhalation velocity and the dry-wet degree of pollen are the main determinants of the deposition site.

ABSTRACT

To confirm that Bartonella and Wolbachia were carried by sheep keds (Melophagus ovinus) in southern Xinjiang of China, 17 M. ovinus samples, which were collected in Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang, were randomly selected. In this study, the Bartonella gltA and Wolbachia 16S rRNA gene were amplified through conventional PCR and the sequence of those amplified products, were analyzed. The results demonstrated that Bartonella was carried by all of the 17 sheep keds and Wolbachia was carried by 15 out of them. Bartonella was identified as B. melophagi. Three strains of Wolbachia were supergroup F and 1 strain has not been confirmed yet. It is the first report about Wolbachia supergroup F was found in sheep keds and provided the molecular evidence that B. melophagi and Wolbachia supergroup F were carried by sheep keds in Aksu Prefecture of southern Xinjiang, China. The 2 pathogens were found in sheep keds around Taklimakan Desert for the first time.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effects of propofol on the expression of hippocampal γ-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) and NMDA receptor in a rat model of inflammatory pain (IP).Methods A total of 32 female Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 180-220 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =8 each):control group (group C),group IP,and different doses of propofol groups (P1,2 groups).IP was induced by injection of formalin.In group C,normal saline and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) 0.1 ml/kg were injected intraperitoneally.In group IP,normal saline and DMSO 0.1 ml/kg were injected intraperitoneally,and 5 min later formalin was injected.In P1,2 groups,propofol 30 and 100 mg/kg were intraperitoneally injected,respectively,and 5 min later formalin was injected.The pain behavior of rats was observed within 1 h after injection of formalin and pain intensity scoring (PIS) value was calculated.The animals were sacrificed at 1 h after injection of formalin and the hippocampi were isolated for determination of GABAA and NMDA receptor expression by immunohistochemisty.Results Compared with group C,PIS value was significantly increased,GABAA and NMDA receptor expression was up-regulated in IP and P1.2 groups.Compared with group IP,PIS value was significantly decreased,GABAA receptor expression was up-regulated,and NMDA receptor expression was down-regulated in P1,2 groups.PIS value was significantly lower,GABAA receptor expression was higher,and NMDA receptor expression was lower in group P2 than in group P1.Conclusion Intraperitoneal propofol can down-regulate NMDA receptor expression in hippocampi of rats with IP,thus inhibiting responses to pain sensitivity; intraperitoneal propofol can up-regulate hippocampal GABAA receptor expression,thus enhancing endogenous mechanism of analgesia.
