ABSTRACT

AIM:To investigate the effects of cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN55212-2(WIN)on acute lung injury(ALI)in septic mice,and to explore its potential mechanisms through glycolysis.METHODS:A mouse model of septic ALI was established by intraperitoneal injections of lipopolysaccharide(LPS).Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=6):(1)control group;(2)LPS group,receiving intraperitoneal injections of LPS at 10 mg/kg;(3)LPS+WIN group,receiving 1 mg/kg WIN intraperitoneally 30 min prior to LPS injection;(4)LPS+WIN+MHY1485[mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)activator]group,receiving 10 mg/kg MHY1485 intraperitoneally 1 d before LPS injection and 1 mg/kg WIN plus 10 mg/kg MHY1485 30 min before LPS injection.Tissues were collected 24 h after modeling for analysis.Lung indexes were calculated,and histopathological changes of lung tissues were observed via he-matoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and IL-10 in lung tissues,and lactic acid and lactate dehydrogenase A(LDHA)in serum were quantified using ELISA.The levels of mTOR/hypoxia-inducible fac-tor-1α(HIF-1α)/6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3(PFKFB3)signaling pathway-related proteins were assessed by Western blot.RESULTS:Compared with control group,the LPS group exhibited an increased lung in-dex,significant lung tissue damage,an increase in IL-1β levels(P<0.05),a decrease in IL-10 levels(P<0.05),and el-evated expressions of lactate and LDHA(P<0.05),along with increased levels of phosphorylated mTOR(p-mTOR),HIF-1α and PFKFB3 proteins(P<0.05).The LPS+WIN group showed improvements with a reduced lung index(P<0.05),lessened lung injury,decreased IL-1β levels(P<0.05),increased IL-10 levels(P<0.05),and lower levels of lactic acid,LDHA,p-mTOR,HIF-1α,and PFKFB3(P<0.05).Conversely,the LPS+WIN+MHY1485 group displayed increased lung indexes and lung tissue damage,elevated IL-1β levels(P<0.05),reduced IL-10 levels(P<0.05),and higher expressions of lactic acid,LDHA,p-mTOR,HIF-1α and PFKFB3(P<0.05)compared to the LPS+WIN group.CONCLUSION:WIN55212-2 mitigates sepsis-induced ALI,potentially by modulating the mTOR/HIF-1α/PFKFB3 sig-naling pathway,thereby inhibiting glycolysis and alleviating inflammatory responses.

ABSTRACT

Purpose@#Tamoxifen showed individual differences in efficacy under different CYP2D6*10 genotypes. Our study evaluated the prognosis of tamoxifen or toremifene in hormone receptor (HR)–positive breast cancer patients under different genotypes. @*Materials and Methods@#CYP2D6*10 genotypes of HR-positive breast cancer patients were determined by Sanger sequencing, and all the patients were divided into tamoxifen group or toremifene group. @*Results@#A total of 268 patients with HR-positive breast cancer were studied. The median follow-up time was 72.0 months (range, 5.0 to 88.0 months). Of these, 88 (32.9%), 114 (42.5%), and 66 (24.6%) patients had C/C, C/T, and T/T genotypes, respectively. Among patients who received tamoxifen (n=176), the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate in patients with C/C and C/T genotype was better than that in patients with T/T genotype, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001 and p=0.030, respectively). In patients receiving toremifene, CYP2D6*10 genotype was not significantly associated with DFS (p=0.325). Regardless of genotypes, the 5-year DFS rate was higher in patients treated with toremifene than in patients with tamoxifen (91.3% vs. 80.0%, p=0.011). Compared with tamoxifen, toremifene remained an independent prognostic marker of DFS in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 0.422; p=0.021). For all the 180 patients with CYP2D6*10 C/T and T/T genotypes, the 5-year DFS rate was significantly higher in the toremifene group than in the tamoxifen group (90.8% vs. 70.1%, p=0.003). @*Conclusion@#Toremifene may be an alternative adjuvant endocrine therapy for patients with CYP2D6*10 mutant genotypes.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Findings on the association of genetic factors and colorectal cancer (CRC) survival are limited and inconsistent, and revealing the mechanism underlying their prognostic roles is of great importance. This study aimed to explore the relationship between functional genetic variations and the prognosis of CRC and further reveal the possible mechanism.@*METHODS@#We first systematically performed expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. Then, the Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to filter out the survival-related eQTL target genes of CRC patients in two public datasets (TCGA and GSE39582 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus database). The seven most potentially functional eQTL single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with six survival-related eQTL target genes were genotyped in 907 Chinese CRC patients with clinical prognosis data. The regulatory mechanism of the survival-related SNP was further confirmed by functional experiments.@*RESULTS@#The rs71630754 regulating the expression of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 ( ERAP1 ) was significantly associated with the prognosis of CRC (additive model, hazard ratio [HR]: 1.43, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08-1.88, P = 0.012). The results of dual-luciferase reporter assay and electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that the A allele of the rs71630754 could increase the binding of transcription factor 3 (TCF3) and subsequently reduce the expression of ERAP1 . The results of bioinformatic analysis showed that lower expression of ERAP1 could affect the tumor immune microenvironment and was significantly associated with severe survival outcomes.@*CONCLUSION@#The rs71630754 could influence the prognosis of CRC patients by regulating the expression of the immune-related gene ERAP1 .@*TRIAL REGISTRATION@#No. NCT00454519 ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ ).

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic effect of Shugan Huazheng prescription on hepatic fibrosis model rats induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and explore whether it plays its role through hypoxia-induced factor-1α/vascular endothelial growth factor/transforming growth factor-β1 (HIF-1α/VEGF/TGF-β1) pathway. MethodA total of 54 male SPF SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: blank group, model group, colchicine group (0.2 mg·kg-1), and high-, medium-, and low-dose groups (29.52, 14.76, and 7.38 g·kg-1) of Shugan Huazheng prescription, with nine rats in each group. The molding was conducted three times a week for eight weeks. Administration began the day after the first injection, and the drug intervention was once a day for eight weeks. On the day after the last administration, the rats were deprived of food and water, and they were killed the next day, during which the physiological status of each group of rats was dynamically monitored. The pathological changes in the liver were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and the content of hydroxyproline (HYP) and angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) in liver tissue were detected by enzyme-related immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (Real-time PCR) was used to determine the mRNA expression levels of HIF-1α, VEGF, and TGF-β1 in liver tissue, and immunohistochemical method (IHC) and Western blot were used to detect the protein expression levels of HIF-1α, VEGF, and TGF-β1 in liver tissue. ResultCompared with the blank group, the overall condition of rats in the model group decreased significantly. The proliferation of connective tissue and the increase in adipose cells between hepatocytes were obvious. The content of HYP and Ang was increased. The mRNA and protein expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF, and TGF-β1 were increased to varying degrees (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the proliferation of connective tissue and inflammatory cell infiltration in the liver tissue of colchicine and Shugan Huazheng prescription groups were reduced. The content of HYP and Ang was decreased. The mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF-1α, VEGF, and TGF-β1 were decreased, and the colchicine group and high-dose group of Shugan Huazheng prescription were the most significant (P<0.05). ConclusionShugan Huazheng prescription has an obvious therapeutic effect on CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis model rats. Its therapeutic mechanism may be related to the regulation of the HIF-1α/VEGF/TGF-β1 signaling pathway and the improvement of hepatic hypoxia, vascular remodeling, and the syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis in hepatic fibrosis.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Human plantar pressure can reflect the health status of the lower limbs and even the whole body,which is an important basis for gait analysis,and body mass index is an important influencing factor. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of body mass index on plantar pressure. METHODS:Twenty young college students from Xuzhou Medical University,including 10 males and 10 females aged 19-21 years,were selected as test subjects and divided into three groups according to the body mass index value:overweight group(body mass index>25 kg/m2,n=3),lean group(body mass index<18 kg/m2,n=4),and normal group(body mass index 18-25 kg/m2,n=13).A natural walking gait test was carried out on the three groups of subjects with a Zebris pressure distribution measurement plate to obtain the complete gait cycle parameters.The time proportion of support time phase,peak pressure,time to peak force,peak force and impulse volume were analyzed and the correlation between each parameter and the body mass index was analyzed by Person analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the other two groups,the time proportion of support time phase of subjects in the overweight group was relatively small,while the time proportion in the foot heel contact period and forefoot extension period was relatively large.There was a positive correlation of the time proportion of the foot heel contact period and forefoot extension period with body mass index,while there was a negative correlation between the time proportion of the arch support period and body mass index.(2)The peak pressure of the left arch and palm of the foot of the subjects of the overweight group was higher than that of the normal group,and the peak pressure of the left and right palm of the foot of the lean group was lower than that of the normal group.The peak pressure was positively correlated with the body mass index during the foot heel contact period.There was a significant positive correlation between the peak pressure of the left foot and body mass index during the arch support period as well as the peak pressure of both feet and body mass index during the forefoot extension period.(3)Plantar peak force time in the order of the gait cycle in increasing order:heel<arch<metatarsal<toe.In the foot heel contact period,the time of peak force was negatively correlated with body mass index,but they were positively correlated with each other in the forefoot extension period.In the arch support period,the time of peak force of the left arch was significantly positively correlated with body mass index.(4)Plantar peak force was mainly expressed as medial heel>toe/middle 2-4 metatarsal>lateral heel>medial and lateral metatarsal>arch;medial heel peak force was the largest,and the arch peak force was the smallest.Except for the toe of the left foot,there was a significant positive correlation between peak force and body mass index.(5)The maximum ground impulse of the lean group and the overweight group was in the foot heel contact stage,the minimum ground impulse was in the forefoot extension period,and the minimum ground impulse of the arch was in the normal group.There was a significant positive correlation between ground impulse and body mass index at different periods.(6)The results show that young people should control their body mass index,wear appropriate shoes,protect their feet and ankles,and prevent the occurrence of flat feet.

ABSTRACT

This study constructed a LHCGR-CRE-luc-HEK293 transgenic cell line according to the activation of the cAMP signaling pathway after recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin binding to the receptor. The biological activity of recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin was assayed using a luciferase assay system. The relative potency of the samples was calculated using four-parameter model. And the method conditions were optimized to validate the specificity, relative accuracy, precision and linearity of the method. The results showed that there was a quantitative potency relationship of human chorinonic gonadotropin (hCG) in the method and it was in accordance with the four-parameter curve. After optimization, the conditions were determined as hCG dilution concentration of 2.5 μg·mL-1, dilution ratio of 1∶4, cell number of 10 000-15 000 cells/well, and induction time of 6 h. The method had good specificity, relative accuracy with relative bias ranging from -8.9% to 3.4%, linear regression equation correlation coefficient of 0.996, intermediate precision geometric coefficient of variation ranging from 3.3% to 15.0%, and linearity range of 50% to 200%. This study successfully established and validated a reporter gene method to detect hCG biological activity, which can be used for hCG biological activity assay and quality control.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Current rehabilitation programs are effective in treating post-stroke sequelae,but the treatment cycle is long and the labor cost is high.Brain-computer interface technology can be used for the treatment of post-stroke patients by extracting signals from the brain's neural activity through special equipment and converting this signal into commands that can be recognized by a computer. OBJECTIVE:To analyze and summarize the application of brain-computer interface technology in the upper limb motor function rehabilitation of stroke patients in recent years and to explore the clinical value of brain-computer interface technology in the upper limb function rehabilitation of stroke patients. METHODS:CNKI and PubMed were retrieved for relevant literature published from 2000 to 2022.The keywords were"stroke,electroencephalogram,brain-computer interface,upper limb,virtual reality technology,functional electrical stimulation,exoskeleton"in Chinese and"stroke,brain-computer interface,computer assistance,upper limb,virtual reality technology,functional electrical stimulation,exoskeleton"in English. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The brain-computer interface has shown promise for the restoration of upper limb motor function in stroke patients and has been shown to produce results that are unattainable with conventional treatments,and is well worth further research and promotion,but the mechanisms have not been fully elucidated.Also the ability to accurately decode all degrees of freedom of upper limb movements to provide flexible and natural control remains a challenge from the perspective of brain-computer interface systems that capture electroencephalogram signals from patients.Future research should focus on clarifying the specific neural mechanisms by which brain-computer interface technology facilitates upper limb motor recovery after stroke and identifying rehabilitation options such as brain-computer interfaces combined with external devices to facilitate upper limb motor function recovery in stroke patients.

ABSTRACT

Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS), also known as hepatic veno-occlusive disease, is hepatic vascular disease of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction and hepatic venular occlusion and fibrosis due to various causes. This article systematically elaborates on the research advances in HSOS from the aspects of understanding and naming, etiology and pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. HSOS can occur in patients receiving bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, radiotherapy/chemotherapy, and medication containing pyrrolidine alkaloids, and the common clinical manifestations of HSOS include abdominal distension, distending pain in the liver area, ascites, jaundice, and hepatomegaly. The diagnostic criteria for HSOS vary with etiology, and it needs to be differentiated from other diseases such as drug-induced liver diseases and hepatic venous outflow tract obstruction. Defibrotide and low-molecular-weight heparin have a therapeutic effect on HSOS associated with hematopoietic stem cells and pyrrolidine alkaloids, respectively, and there are currently no effective drugs for HSOS caused by oxaliplatin chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo study the effect of a microbial compound fertilizer on the growth, quality, and soil properties of Andrographis paniculata and provide a basis for its application in the cultivation and production of A. paniculata. MethodThrough five treatment tests in pots, the control group (CK, no fertilization), the treatment A group (chemical fertilization), the treatment B group (microbial fertilization at 2.5 g·kg-1 soil), the treatment C group (microbial fertilization at 7.5 g·kg-1 soil), and the treatment D group (microbial fertilization at 12.5 g·kg-1 soil) were established. The effects of a compound microbial fertilizer on the agronomic properties, the content of active ingredients, the number of rhizosphere soil bacteria, Actinomycetes, and fungi, and soil physicochemical properties of A. paniculata were studied. ResultAs compared with the CK group and the treatment A group, the plant height, leaf number, leaf area, and above-ground and below-ground fresh weight of A. paniculata were significantly increased after microbial fertilization, with differences in different growth periods. The effect of the compound microbial fertilizer on the content of andrographolide, dehydrated andrographolide, neandrographolide, and 14-deoxyandrographolide differed. The content of andrographolide significantly increased by 26.13% and 13.23% in the treatment C group, respectively, as compared with the CK group and the treatment A group (P<0.05). The content of neandrographolide increased with the increasing amount of microbial fertilizer, and the content in the treatment D group increased by 9.06% and 50.33%, respectively, as compared with the CK group and the treatment A group (P<0.05), which was the most obvious. The content of 14-deoxyandrographolide in the treatment B group significantly increased by 42.04% and 1.74%, respectively, as compared with the treatment A group and the CK group (P<0.05). The content of dehydrated andrographolide content in the treatment B group increased most significantly, significantly increasing by 11.73% and 27.74%, respectively, as compared with the CK group and the treatment A group (P<0.05). The soil pH of the treatment B, C, and D groups was higher than that of the CK group and the treatment A group. The content of total nitrogen and effective phosphorus increased most significantly in the treatment B group, and the content of fast-acting potassium increased most significantly in the treatment D group. The application of the compound microbial fertilizer increased the number of rhizosphere soil bacteria and Actinomycetes, which was significantly higher than that in the CK group and the treatment A group (P<0.05), and increased with the increase of applied amount. The number of fungi decreased with the increase of the compound microbial fertilizer application, which was significantly different from that in the CK group (P<0.05). The fungi/bacteria of all treatment groups were significantly lower than those of the CK group (P<0.05) and increased with the increase of microbial fertilizer application. ConclusionThe application of the compound microbial fertilizer transforms the plant-soil-microbial system in a benign direction, which is beneficial to the growth of A. paniculata and the accumulation of active ingredients.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To examine the clinical effect of auxiliary liver transplantation with ultra-small volume graft in the treatment of portal hypertension. Methods: Twelve cases of portal hypertension treated by auxiliary liver transplantation with small volume graft at Liver Transplantation Center,Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University between December 2014 and March 2022 were studied retrospectively. There were 8 males and 4 females,aged 14 to 66 years. Model for end-stage liver disease scores were 1 to 15 points and Child scores were 6 to 11 points. The grafts was derived from living donors in 9 cases,from split cadaveric donors in 2 cases,from whole cadaveric liver of child in 1 case. The graft recipient body weight ratios of 3 cadaveric donor livers were 0.79% to 0.90%, and of 9 living donor livers were 0.31% to 0.55%.In these cases, ultra-small volume grafts were implanted. The survivals of patient and graft, complications, portal vein blood flow of residual liver and graft, abdominal drainage and biochemical indexes of liver function were observed. Results: All the grafts and patients survived. Complications included outflow tract torsion in 2 cases, acute rejection in 1 case, bile leakage in 1 case, and thyroid cancer at the later stage of follow-up in 1 case, all of which were cured. The torsion of outflow tract was attributed to the change of anastomotic angle after the growth of donor liver. After the improvement of anastomotic method, the complication did not recur in the later stage. There was no complication of portal hypertension. The measurement of ultrasonic portal vein blood flow velocity showed that the blood flow of residual liver decreased significantly in the early stage after operation, and maintained a very low blood flow velocity or occlusion in the long term after operation, and the blood flow of transplanted liver was stable. Conclusions: Auxiliary liver transplantation can implant ultra-small donor liver through compensation of residual liver. This method may promote the development of living donor left lobe donation and split liver transplantation. However, the auxiliary liver transplantation is complex, and it is difficult to control the complications. Therefore, this method is currently limited to centers that are skilled in living related liver transplantation and that have complete ability to monitor and deal with complications.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of malignant vasovagal syncope (VVS) in children. Methods: This was a case-control study. The data of 368 VVS patients who were treated in the Department of Cardiology, Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics from June 2017 to December 2021 was collected and analyzed. They were divided into malignant VVS group and non-malignant VVS group according to the presence of sinus arrest, and then their demographic characteristics were compared. The children with malignant VVS and complete clinical information were recruited into the case group and were matched by age and sex (1∶4 ratio) with non-malignant VVS patients during the same period.Their clinical characteristics and lab tests were compared. Independent sample t test, Mann Whitney U or χ2 test was used for comparison between groups.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for malignant VVS in children. Results: Eleven malignant VVS and 342 non-malignant VVS met the inclusion and exclusion critera. Eleven malignant VVS and 44 non-malignant children were recruited in the case-control study. Ten patients of the 11 malignant VVS had a cardiac arrest occurring at 35 (28, 35) minutes of the head-up tilt test, and the duration of sinus arrest was (9±5) s. One patient had syncope occurring while waiting for drawing blood, and the duration of sinus arrest was 3.4 s. The children with malignant vasovagal syncope were younger than non-malignant VVS patients (9 (7, 10) vs. 12 (10, 14) years old, P<0.05), and had higher mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and standard deviation of the mean cardiac cycle over 5-minute period within 24 hours ((347±9) vs. (340±8) g/L, (124±9) vs. (113±28) ms, both P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that MCHC was an independent risk factor for malignant VVS in pediatric patients (OR=1.13, 95%CI 1.02-1.26, P=0.024). Conclusions: The onset age of malignant VVS was younger, with no other special clinical manifestations. MCHC was an independent risk factor for malignant VVS.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to investigate the effective substances and mechanism of Yishen Guluo Mixture in the treatment of chronic glomerulonephritis(CGN) based on metabolomics and serum pharmacochemistry. The rat model of CGN was induced by cationic bovine serum albumin(C-BSA). After intragastric administration of Yishen Guluo Mixture, the biochemical indexes related to renal function(24-hour urinary protein, serum urea nitrogen, and creatinine) were determined, and the efficacy evaluations such as histopathological observation were carried out. The serum biomarkers of Yishen Guluo Mixture in the treatment of CGN were screened out by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight/mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) combined with multivariate statistical analysis, and the metabolic pathways were analyzed. According to the mass spectrum ion fragment information and metabolic pathway, the components absorbed into the blood(prototypes and metabolites) from Yishen Guluo Mixture were identified and analyzed by using PeakView 1.2 and MetabolitePilot 2.0.4. By integrating metabolomics and serum pharmacochemistry data, a mathematical model of correlation analysis between serum biomarkers and components absorbed into blood was constructed to screen out the potential effective substances of Yishen Guluo Mixture in the treatment of CGN. Yishen Guluo mixture significantly decreased the levels of 24-hour urinary protein, serum urea nitrogen, and creatinine in rats with CGN, and improved the pathological damage of the kidney tissue. Twenty serum biomarkers of Yishen Guluo Mixture in the treatment of CGN, such as arachidonic acid and lysophosphatidylcholine, were screened out, involving arachidonic acid metabolism, glycerol phosphatide metabolism, and other pathways. Based on the serum pharmacochemistry, 8 prototype components and 20 metabolites in the serum-containing Yishen Guluo Mixture were identified. According to the metabolomics and correlation analysis of serum pharmacochemistry, 12 compounds such as genistein absorbed into the blood from Yishen Guluo Mixture were selected as the potential effective substances for the treatment of CGN. Based on metabolomics and serum pharmacochemistry, the effective substances and mechanism of Yishen Guluo Mixture in the treatment of CGN are analyzed and explained in this study, which provides a new idea for the development of innovative traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of CGN.
