ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#Huangqi Decoction (HQD), a classical traditional Chinese medicine formula, has been used as a valid treatment for alleviating liver fibrosis; however, the underlying molecular mechanism is still unknown. Although our previous studies showed that microRNA-663a (miR-663a) suppresses the proliferation and activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and the transforming growth factor-β/small mothers against decapentaplegic (TGF-β/Smad) pathway, whether long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in HSC activation via the miR-663a/TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway has not yet reported. The present study aimed to investigate the roles of lncRNA lnc-C18orf26-1 in the activation of HSCs and the mechanism by which HQD inhibits hepatic fibrosis.@*METHODS@#The expression levels of lnc-C18orf26-1, miR-663a and related genes were measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. HSCs were transfected with the miR-663a mimic or inhibitor and lnc-C18orf26-1 small interfering RNAs. The water-soluble tetrazolium salt-1 assay was used to assess the proliferation rate of HSCs. Changes in lncRNA expression were evaluated in miR-663a-overexpressing HSCs by using microarray to identify miR-663a-regulated lncRNAs. RNA hybrid was used to predict the potential miR-663a binding sites on lncRNAs. Luciferase reporter assays further confirmed the interaction between miR-663a and the lncRNA. The expression levels of collagen α-2(I) chain (COL1A2), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway-related proteins were determined using Western blotting.@*RESULTS@#Lnc-C18orf26-1 was upregulated in TGF-β1-activated HSCs and competitively bound to miR-663a. Knockdown of lnc-C18orf26-1 inhibited HSC proliferation and activation, downregulated TGF-β1-stimulated α-SMA and COL1A2 expression, and inhibited the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway. HQD suppressed the proliferation and activation of HSCs. HQD increased miR-663a expression and decreased lnc-C18orf26-1 expression in HSCs. Further studies showed that HQD inhibited the expression of COL1A2, α-SMA, TGF-β1, TGF-β type I receptor (TGF-βRI) and phosphorylated Smad2 (p-Smad2) in HSCs, and these effects were reversed by miR-663a inhibitor treatment.@*CONCLUSION@#Our study identified lnc-C18orf26-1 and miR-663a as promising therapeutic targets for hepatic fibrosis. HQD inhibits HSC proliferation and activation at least partially by regulating the lnc-C18orf26-1/miR-663a/TGF-β1/TGF-βRI/p-Smad2 axis.

ABSTRACT

Diabetic kidney disease(DKD)is one of the common chronic complications of diabetes mellitus(DM),the primary cause of chronic kidney disease(CKD),including end-stage renal disease(ESRD),and an important risk factor for early death in diabetic patients.As an important starting point of DKD,diabetic tubulopathy(DT)is important for the early prevention and treatment of DKD.It is found that traditional Chinese medicine can effectively delay the course of DKD through the active prevention and treatment of DT,and achieve early prevention,early treatment and good prognosis.The mechanism is mainly to improve and protect the damaged renal tubules in patients in various periods through different targets and pathways,so as to reduce kidney injury,improve the clinical symptoms of patients and delay the course of the disease.This paper reviews the mechanism of renal tubular injury in diabetic kidney disease and the progress of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of diabetic kidney disease based on diabetic tubulopathy in recent years.

ABSTRACT

Membranous nephropathy, an autoimmune kidney disease with glomerular podocyte injury as the core mechanism, is a common pathological type of adult nephrotic syndrome and has become the main cause of end-stage renal disease in China. Podocytes are terminally differentiated cells that play an important role in maintaining the structural and functional stability of glomeruli and are molecular barriers for protein filtration. Glomerular filtration membrane injury induced by podocyte injury is an important cause of massive proteinuria. Persistent or aggravated proteinuria may prolong the course of membranous nephropathy. It is believed that podocyte destruction in membranous nephropathy is mainly related to oxidative stress, autophagy dysregulation, abnormal expression of podocyte marker proteins, chronic inflammation, epithelial-mesenchymal cell transdifferentiation, and so on. At present, western medicine mostly uses immunosuppressants and hormones for treatment according to its pathological stage, but there are certain adverse reactions. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has made some achievements in the prevention and treatment of membranous nephropathy. In recent years, studies have found that many Chinese medicines can affect the occurrence and development of membranous nephropathy in different links by acting on multiple targets in the human body, with manifest advantages. This paper overviewed the podocyte injury mechanism in membranous nephropathy and summarized the treatment of membranous nephropathy with Chinese medicine monomers, compounds, and Chinese patent medicines in intervening related target pathways, aiming to provide a basis for the clinical treatment, basic research, and targeted drug development of TCM against membranous nephropathy.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#: Angiolipomas are usually found in the subcutaneous tissue of the trunk and limbs. Spinal angiolipomas (SALs) are uncommon and have rarely been reported. We report a series of nine SALs patients who received surgical treatment in our department. To summarize the clinical characteristics of SALs, propose our surgical strategies, and evaluate the effects of the operation. @*Methods@#: This was a retrospective review of nine SALs patients who received surgical treatment from August 2015 to March 2020. Total or subtotal resection was determined by the axial localization (dorsal or ventral) and the extent of intervertebral foramen involvement. The outcomes were assessed based on the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) scoring system utilized before surgery and at various follow-up points. @*Results@#: Among the nine patients, the mean mJOA score before surgery was 6.6±2.3, compared with 10.1±1.1 at the last follow-up time point (33.4±11.8 months). All patients achieved good outcomes, even in cases of subtotal resection. @*Conclusion@#: Early surgical resection of SALs is recommended, and the specific procedures should be determined by the axial localization (dorsal or ventral) and the extent of intervertebral foramen involvement. Most of the patients had a good prognosis, even in cases of subtotal resection.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of en bloc resection and debridement combined with gluteus maximus muscle flap in the treatment of ischial tubercle pressure ulcer complicated with chronic osteomyelitis. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From May 2018 to February 2020, 8 patients with pressure ulcers on the ischial tuberosity combined with chronic osteomyelitis who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Fuyang Minsheng Hospital, including 5 males and 3 females, aged 38-69 years, with unilateral lesions in 6 patients and bilateral lesions in 2 patients. According to the anatomical classification of Cierny-Mader osteomyelitis, there were 6 patients (7 sides) with focal type, and 2 patients (3 sides) with diffuse type. The wound areas were 3 cm×2 cm to 12 cm×9 cm on admission. The pressure ulcer and chronic osteomyelitis lesions were completely removed by en bloc resection and debridement. The chronic infectious lesions were transformed into sterile incisions like fresh wounds by one surgical procedure, and the gluteus maximus muscle flaps with areas of 10 cm×6 cm to 15 cm×9 cm were excised to transfer and fill the ineffective cavity. The wounds of 5 patients were sutured directly, and the wounds of 3 patients were closed by local flap transfer. The intraoperative blood loss volume and blood transfusion, and length of hospital stay of patients were recorded. The incision healing and flap survival of patients were observed after operation. The recurrence of pressure ulcer and osteomyelitis, the appearance of the affected area, and the secondary dysfunction and deformity of the muscle flap donor site of patients were observed during followed up. Results: The intraoperative blood loss volume of the 8 patients was 220 to 900 (430±150) mL; 5 patients received intraoperative blood transfusion, of which 2 patients received 3 U suspended red blood cells and 3 patients received 2 U suspended red blood cells. The length of hospital stay was 18 to 29 (23.5±2.0) d for the 8 patients. In this group of patients, the incisions of 7 patients healed, while in one case, the incision suture was torn off during turning over and healed after secondary suture. The flaps survived well in 3 patients who underwent local flap transfer. During the follow-up period of 6-20 months, no recurrence of pressure ulcer or osteomyelitis occurred in 8 patients, the affected part had skin with good texture, mild pigmentation, and no sinus tract formation, and no secondary dysfunction or deformity occurred in the donor site. Conclusions: The en bloc resection and debridement combined with gluteus maximus muscle flap has good clinical effects on ischial tubercle pressure ulcer complicated with chronic osteomyelitis. Neither pressure ulcer nor osteomyelitis recurs post operation. The skin texture and appearance of the affected area are good, and the donor site has no secondary dysfunction or deformity.

ABSTRACT

On December 22, 2017, a 35-year-old male hemophilia A patient with a secondary chronic refractory wound after left knee joint surgery was transferred from the Department of Hematology of Maoming People's Hospital to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery in the same hospital. The physical examination revealed that the patient's left knee joint was swollen, with a full-thickness skin defect wound of 4 cm×4 cm on the lateral side of the joint and a large number of dark red blood clots at the bottom of the wound. The wound bleeding was controlled by intravenous infusion of plasma, cryoprecipitate, and human coagulation factor Ⅷ. After con- ventional debridement and dressing changes until the wound infection was controlled and necrotic tissue was removed, a subcutaneous cavity wound of 2 cm×2 cm in area and 3 cm in depth remained in the left knee joint and was difficult to heal. Nineteen days after transfer, the patient received autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment, and 32 days after PRP treatment, the wound in left knee joint was healed with epithelialization. This case suggests that autologous PRP therapy would be a good option for hemophilia complicated chronic refractory wounds when they could not be repaired by surgery.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the treatment effect of sticking-needle acupuncture plus tendon-regulating manipulation on pain, swelling and joint dysfunction due to acute ankle sprain.Methods: A total of 80 patients with acute ankle sprain were recruited and divided into a control group and a treatment group according to the random number table method, with 40 patients in each group. Both groups received the same conventional interventions. The control group was treated with additional tendon-regulating manipulation, and the treatment group was treated with tendon-regulating manipulation plus sticking-needle acupuncture. The pain, swelling and joint dysfunction of the ankle were observed in both groups before and after 3 d, 7 d and 14 d of treatment. Results: Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the visual analog scale (VAS) score of pain between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the VAS scores of both groups showed a decreasing trend over time, and the differences within the groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). After 3 d, 7 d and 14 d of treatment, the VAS scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the degree of swelling between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the degrees of swelling in both groups showed a decreasing trend over time, and the differences within the groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). After 3 d and 7 d of treatment, the degrees of swelling in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the degree of swelling between the two groups after 14 d of treatment (P>0.05). Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the American Orthopedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale score between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale scores of both groups showed an increasing trend over time, and all the differences within the groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). After 3 d, 7 d and 14 d of treatment, the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale scores in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the routine intervention, the addition of sticking-needle acupuncture and tendon-regulating manipulation was better in alleviating pain and swelling and improving joint function in patients with acute ankle sprain than the addition of tendon-regulating manipulation alone.

ABSTRACT

Protein-protein interactions (PPI) are involved in a variety of biological processes, including cell-to-cell interactions, metabolism and development control. The misregulation, post-translational modification and interference of PPI are related to a variety of human diseases, making the regulation of these interactions a very attractive field of drug discovery. In recent years, the interaction between MDM2 and p53 has become a research hotspot, which plays an important role in the treatment of tumors. But unfortunately there are no such inhibitors approved all over the world. In this view, recent advances of MDM2-p53 inhibitors were briefly described and its inhibitors with potential therapeutic activities in clinical studies were introduced.

ABSTRACT

Through searching domestic and foreign medical journals in CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database and Pubmed database from January of 2003 to November of 2013, 39 articles regarding musical electroacupuncture (MEA) were analyzed. The result showed that MEA was clinically used to treat neurological and psychotic disorders; because it was combined with musical therapy and overcame the acupuncture tolerability, and MEA was superior to traditional electroacupuncture. However, problems such as low research efficiency and the mechanism of MEA superiority and the musical specificity not being revealed by research design still exist. In future, large-sample multi-center RCT researches should be performed to clarify MEA clinical efficacy. With modern science and technology and optimized study design, guided by five-element theory of TCM, researches on different musical elements and characteristics of musical pulse current as well as MEA's correlation with meridians and organs should be studied, so as to make a further exploration on MEA mechanisms and broaden the range of its clinical application.
