ABSTRACT

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese patent medicines containing Hirudo in the treatment of atherosclerosis(AS) by network Meta-analysis, and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment of AS. The clinical randomized controlled trial(RCT) on the treatment of atherosclerosis with Chinese patent medicines containing Hirudo were searched in CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed and EMbase from the establishment of the databases to July 1, 2022. And data extraction and quality assessment of the included RCT was performed according to the Cochrane standards. Stata 17 and ADDIS 1.16.5 were then used for Bayesian model network Meta-analysis. Finally, 67 RCTs with a total sample size of 6 826 cases were included, 3 569 cases in the experimental group and 3 257 cases in the control group, involving three oral Chinese patent medicines. Network Meta-analysis showed that in terms of reducing intima-media thickness(IMT), the top three Chinese patent medicines were Tongxinluo Capsules+sta-tins>Maixuekang Capsules+statins>Maixuekang Capsules. In terms of reducing plaque area, the top one was Maixuekang Capsules+sta-tins, and the other Chinese patent medicines had similar efficacy. For lowering AS Crouse scores, the top three were Maixuekang Capsules>Tongxinluo Capsules+statins>Naoxintong Capsules. For decreasing plaque number, the top three were Naoxintong Capsules+sta-tins>Tongxinluo Capsules+statins>Tongxinluo Capsules. With regard to adverse reactions/events, Naoxintong Capsules+statins had the lo-west incidence. In conclusion, in Chinese patent medicines containing Hirudo for the treatment of AS, Tongxinluo Capsules+statins, Maixuekang Capsules, Maixuekang Capsules+statins, and Naoxintong Capsules+statins were the primary choices to reduce IMT, AS Crouse scores, plaque area, and plaque number, respectively. The efficacy of Chinese patent medicines containing Hirudo with or without statins was more significant than that of statins alone in the four outcome indexes. Additionally, the treatment of AS should be evaluated comprehensively, and attention should be paid to Chinese patent medicines or their combination with western medicine, to optimize the treatment effect and minimize adverse reactions as the benchmark.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the expression pattern and clinical significance of Integral membrane protein 2A(ITM2A) in drug resistant patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).@*METHODS@#The expression of ITM2A in CML was evaluated by qRT-PCR, Western blot and immunocytochemistry. In order to understand the possible biological effects of ITM2A, apoptosis, cell cycle and myeloid differentiation antigen expression of CML cells were detected by flow cytometry after over-expression of ITM2A. The nuderlying molecular mechanism of its biological effect was explored.@*RESULTS@#The expression of ITM2A in bone marrow of CML resistant patients was significantly lower than that of sensitive patients and healthy donors(P<0.05). The CML resistant strain cell K562R was successfully constructed in vitro. The expression of ITM2A in the resistant strain was significantly lower than that in the sensitive strain(P<0.05). Overexpression of ITM2A in K562R cells increased the sensitivity of K562R cells to imatinib and blocked the cell cycle in G2 phase(P<0.05), but did not affect myeloid differentiation. Mechanistically, up-regulation of ITM2A reduced phosphorylation in ERK signaling (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The expression of ITM2A was low in patients with drug resistance of CML, and the low expression of ITM2A may be the key factor of imatinib resistance in CML.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the changes of cytokines after cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB)in children with congenital heart disease.Methods:A total of 124 children with congenital heart disease underwent CPB surgery at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center from June 2020 to October 2021 with cytokine detection were enrolled.Twelve kinds of cytokines, white blood cell count(WBC)and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), C-reactive protein(CRP)and procalcitonin were detected before and 24 hours after operation.All patients were divided into CPB<120 min group ( n=102)and CPB≥120 min group ( n=22)acoording to CPB time, and were divided into systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) group, compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome (CARS) group and control group according to the changes of cytokines.The changes of cytokines, anti-inflammatory factors and pro-inflammatory factors before and after CPB and the correlation with CPB time were analyzed. Results:There were 65 boys and 59 girls with a body weight of(10.69±8.18)kg and a median age of 317(141, 975)d.After CPB, WBC(×10 9/L)(13.47 vs.8.6), NLR(4.93 vs.0.55), and CRP(mg/L)(81.35 vs.0.8) were significantly higher than those before operation( P<0.001). IL-6(pg/mL)(135.69 vs.6.86), IL-8(pg/mL)(33.33 vs.14.95), and IL-10(pg/mL)(6.05 vs.2.44)were significantly higher than those before operation( P<0.001). Compared with CPB<120 min group, IL-6(pg/mL)(211.88 vs.119.47), IL-8(pg/mL)(71.67 vs. 25.39), and IL-10(pg/mL)(7.69 vs. 4.92)in CPB≥120 min group significantly increased( P<0.001). CRP was negatively correlated with CPB time( r=-0.204, P=0.025), while IL-6( r=0.254, P=0.005), IL-8( r=0.358, P=0.001), IL-10( r=0.198, P=0.03) were positively correlated with CPB time.Twelve children(9.7%)had obvious SIRS, and four cases(3.2%)had early CARS.The mortality of CARS group was significantly higher than that of SIRS group and the control group( P=0.011). Conclusion:Il-6 , IL-8, and IL-10 are significantly increased after CPB in children with congenital heart disease.With the increase of CPB time, IL-6 and IL-8 increase significantly, and the correlation between IL-8 and CPB time is the strongest.Although the proportion of children with early postoperative CARS is small, the mortality is high, which indicates clinical surveillance and treatment need to be strengthened for anti-inflammatory response.

ABSTRACT

To assess the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine injection for adjuvant treatment of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children by network Meta-analysis method. We retrieved CNKI, WanFang, CBM, Cochrane Library, PubMed from the establishment to September 2018. Two reviewers independently screened out literatures, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of included studies. The data were analyzed by Stata 13.0 software. Totally 89 RCTs were included, involving 8 kinds of traditional Chinese medical injections and 8 936 patients. According to the results of network Meta-analysis, the order by the total effective rate from high to low was Huangqi Injection>Xiyanping Injection>Tanreqing Injection>Compound Danshen Injection>Reduning Injection>Yanhuning Injection>Qingkailing Injection>Xixinnao Injection; the order by cooling time from high to low was Reduning Injection> Yanhuning Injection>Qingkailing Injection>Tanreqing Injection>Huangqi Injection>Xiyanping Injection>Xiexinnao Injection>Compound Danshen Injection; the order by the cough disappeared time from high to low was Compound Danshen Injection>Qingkailing Injection>Xiyanping Injection>Huangqi Injection>Yanhuning Injection>Reduning Injection>Tanreqing Injection>Xixinnao Injection; the order by the rales disappearing time from high to low was Qingkailing Injection>Yanhuning Injection>Reduning Injection>Huangqi Injection>Tanreqing Injection>Xiyanping Injection>Xixinnao Injection. The results show that traditional Chinese medicine injection has a significant clinical efficacy in the adjuvant treatment of various symptoms of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children. Due to the small sample size, more studies are required to verify the strength of evidence.

ABSTRACT

Background@#In suckling piglets, transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) causes lethal diarrhea accompanied by high infection and mortality rates, leading to considerable economic losses. This study explored methods of preventing or inhibiting their production.Bovine antimicrobial peptide-13 (APB-13) has antibacterial, antiviral, and immune functions. @*Objectives@#This study analyzed the efficacy of APB-13 against TGEV through in vivo and in vitro experiments. @*Methods@#The effects of APB-13 toxicity and virus inhibition rate on swine testicular (ST) cells were detected using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT). The impact of APB-13 on virus replication was examined through the 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50 ). The mRNA and protein levels were investigated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot (WB). Tissue sections were used to detect intestinal morphological development. @*Results@#The safe and effective concentration range of APB-13 on ST cells ranged from 0 to 62.5 µg/mL, and the highest viral inhibitory rate of APB-13 was 74.1%. The log10 TCID50 of 62.5 µg/mL APB-13 was 3.63 lower than that of the virus control. The mRNA and protein expression at 62.5 µg/mL APB-13 was significantly lower than that of the virus control at 24 hpi. Piglets in the APB-13 group showed significantly lower viral shedding than that in the virus control group, and the pathological tissue sections of the jejunum morphology revealed significant differences between the groups. @*Conclusions@#APB-13 exhibited good antiviral effects on TGEV invivo and in vitro.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To excavate and evaluate the risk signals of QT prolongation and torsade de pointes(TdP) induced by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors(SSRIs), provide references for clinical use. METHODS: Data from FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS, from January 2004 through June 2018) were analyzed for each SSRIs, including fluoxetine, sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram, paroxetine, and fluvoxamine. When QT prolongation and TdP cases were identified using preferred terms (PT) and standardised MedDRA queries (SMQ), three different data mining algorithms were used to detect signalsreporting odds ratio (ROR), medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency (MHRA), and bayesian confidence popagation neural network (BCPNN), if all the three algorithms were positive, suggesting the generation of signals. RESULTS: A total of 3 912 reports of QT prolongation and TdP associated with SSRIs were retrieved through the SMQ. Among which, more females than males(2 349 vs. 1 150), mainly aged 18-44 and 45-64 years, and 90.64% were serious adverse events. The signals were found for fluoxetine, sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram, paroxetine and fluvoxamine at the SMQ level, the RORs (95%CI) were 5.25(4.79-5.76), 2.08(1.79-2.27), 2.86(6.32-7.44), 3.41(3.03-3.84), 2.09(1.84-2.37) and 10.44(8.17-13.33) respectively; the PRRs (X2) were 5.20(1 494.43), 2.01(140.41), 6.77(2 911.71), 3.93(462.34), 2.09(136.58) and 10.21(538.26) respectively; the Ics (IC-2SD) were 2.15(2.12), 1.54(1.52), 2.67(2.65), 2.34(2.31) 1.14(1.12) and 3.16(3.10) respectively. Analysis of the PT included in the SMQ for TdP/QT prolongation, except paroxetine was only detected electrocardiogram QT prolonged signal, all the other SSRIs were detected electrocardiogram QT prolonged and TdP signals. CONCLUSION: QT prolongation may be a SSRIs class effect, but TdP just for fluoxetine, sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram and fluvoxamine. Clinical staff should pay more attention to the differences in adverse drug reaction related to SSRIs, and take pertinence measure to prevent.

ABSTRACT

Gramineous crops occupy a remarkable proportion of grain crops in the word,and wheat,rice and corn account for more than 80%of the world's food crops. Agricultural residues bring tremendous pressure on the environment,and inefficient development of resources has caused huge waste of resources. At present,the research on agricultural residues mainly focuses on energy,fertilizer,feed and materialization. However, there are still a lot of resources that have not been rationally utilized. The author has found that in recent years,the medicinal research on gramineous crop waste has focused on four varieties-rice,corn,wheat and sugar cane,and their waste rice bran,rice husk,rice straw,corn stigma,corn bract,wheat bran,sugar cane leaf,sugar cane skin. The compounds isolated and identified from agricultural residues include phenylpropanoids,flavonoids,steroids and their glycosides,organic acids and their esters,volatile oil and saccharides. Studies have shown that agricultural residues from gramineous crops have pharmacological activities, such as anti-oxidation,hypolipidemia,hypoglycemia,anti-inflammation,anti-tumor,anti-cardiovascular disease,anti-liver and kidney damage. This paper is a systematic review of the chemical composition and pharmacological effects of agricultural residues from the major gramineous crops,so as to provide useful information for further research and development of agricultural residues.

ABSTRACT

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF), as one of the most important components of tumor microenvironment, which plays important role in tumorigenesis, development, infiltration and metastasis of cancers. In a variety of solid tumors, CAF can even determine the fate of tumor cells. In view of its pivotal role in promoting tumor progression, CAF has recently become a therapeutic target for a variety of tumors. However, there are a few studies on CAF in hematological malignancies. Recent studies have found that the resistance, relapse of AML, MM, CLL and myelofibrosis of MPN closely relate with CAF, so targeting CAF can effectively enhance the killing effect of chemotherapy drugs on tumor cells, thus improve the efficacy, CAF is expected to become a new target for the treatment of hematological malignancies. This review summarizes recent advances in cancer-associated fibroblasts in hematological malignancies.

ABSTRACT

It has been increasingly recognized that the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphoma closely relates to the epigenetic disregulations. Epigenetics is a subdiscipline, which means heritable changes in gene expressions without alterations in the DNA sequence, and the DNA methylation, histone modification and miRNA maily were involved. Histone modification is the most important epigenetic modification, the researches showed that the aberrant histone modification is the important pathogenesis in B-cell lymphoma, especially the aberrant histone methylation and acetylation. In the meantime, the tumor can be treated by changing the epigenetic modification, which become a research hotpoint. This review summarizes the pathogenesis of B cell lymphoma and discusses the epigenetic treatment of B cell lymphoma mainly in terms of histone modification regulation for B cell development in the germinal center and mutation of histone madification enzymes.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of Kouyanqing granules for chronic periodontitis and it effects on inflammatory cytokine. METHODS:110 patients with chronic periodontitis were divided into control group(55 cases)and observa-tion group(55 cases). Control group accepted the periodontal basic treatment as oral hygiene instruction,supragingival scaling,subgin-gival scaling and root planning. Observation group was additionally given Kouyanqing granules 20 g orally,twice a day,on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed as well as the levels of plaque in-dex(PLI),gingival index(GI),probing depth(PD),clinical attachment level(CAL),IL-17,IL-21,and the occurrence of ADR. RE-SULTS:Both groups completed the treatment,and no patient lost to follow up. Total response rate of observation group was significant-ly higher than that of control group,with statistical significance(P0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on routine treatment,Kouyanqing granules show significant therapeutic efficacy for chronic periodontitis, can significantly improve periodontal symptom and reduce inflammatory factor level,but do not increase the incidence of ADR.

Levels of blood glucose, blood lipids, blood calcium, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (slCAM-1), and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) were measured in all rats. The expression of SRA in the aortic wall of atherosclerotic rats was observed by immunohistochemical assay. The correlation between the expression of SRA and levels of in-flammatory factors was also observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the control group, blood glucose and blood calcium obviously increased (P < 0.05); levels of TG, TC, and LDL-C were significantly elevated (P < 0.01); neointimal areas were significantly thickened, increased intima percentage was significantly enlarged, narrowed lumen index was significantly reduced; levels of CRP, sICAM-1, and sVCAM-1 were significantly elevated in the model group (all P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, blood glucose and blood calcium obviously decreased (P < 0.05); levels of TG, TC, and LDL-C significantly decreased (P < 0.01) in the GbT group. Aortic lumens were obviously narrower in the model group than in the GbT group (P < 0.05). SRA expressed at the aortic wall. The aforesaid 3 indices were significantly improved in the GbT group than in the model group (P < 0.01). Serum levels of CRP, sICAM-1, and sVCAM-1 were significantly decreased in the GbT group than in the model group (P < 0.01). Serum levels of CRP, sICAM-1, and sVCAM-1 were positively correlated with the percentage of SRA positive expression area (r = 0.701, 0.604, 0.581, all P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Serum levels of inflammatory factors in atherosclerotic rats were elevated, and the expression of SRA in the aortic wall was enhanced. The expression of SRA was closely correlated with serum levels of inflammatory factors. GbT could decrease serum levels of inflammatory factors and inhibit the expression of SRA.</p>

ABSTRACT

As an important gene regulatory molecule, microRNA is closely related with various human diseases. Numerous studies have confirmed that microRNAs function as tumor suppressors or oncogenes in various tumor types. Therefore, microRNA investiga-tion has become a new direction in oncology research. As a member of the miR-17 to-92 cluster, miR-17-5p has been the focus of re-search recently. MicroRNA is involved in many aspects of diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, endometriosis, and a variety of tumors. In this review, the basic characteristics and roles of miR-17-5p in tumors are elaborated.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW),and to explore the role of MPV and PDW in the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods This retrospective cohort study included 312 patients with AMI during 2012 to 2014 in The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University.Patients were divided into ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) group,non ST-elevation myocardial infarction group and low PDW group,high PDW group.Their clinical data and outcomes were analyzed.MPV and PDW were measured successively from admission to day-7 after AMI.The relationship between PDW,MPV and GRACE risk score was further investigated.Results In the STEMI group,the patients were younger (P =0.005),and with higher rates of hyperlipidemia and smoking (P < 0.01).Patients in STEMI group had higher risk of death during hospitalization,compared to NSTEMI (P =0.014).In the high PDW group,the rates of congestion heart failure,cardiogenic shock and Killip ⅣV were higher (P < 0.01;P =0.026;P < 0.01).PDW was significantly associated with mortality of in-hospital,one-year mortality and the risk of re-infarction in one year (r =0.69,P < 0.01;r =0.68,P <0.01;r =0.70,P < 0.01).MPV was associated with one-year mortality (r =0.30,P =0.02).Conclusions PDW related to the severity of AMI could predict the risk of in-hospital mortality,one-year mortality and re-infarction.It was helpful to screen out the high-risk patients,so as to make more suitable treatment to improve the prognosis of patients.
