RÉSUMÉ

BACKGROUND:The alteration of miR-146a-3p level is a common event in the pathogenesis of most neurological diseases,and the specific mechanism of miR-146a-3p regulation of astrocytes has not been studied. OBJECTIVE:To verify that miR-146a-3p regulates astrocyte proliferation,migration and apoptosis through insulin-like growth factor 1. METHODS:12 SD rats were divided into a sham operation group and a spinal cord injury group,with six rats in each group.RNA sequencing analysis was performed on the spinal cord tissues of all groups 2 weeks after surgery to screen out the differential genes(log2FC>2),and to select spinal cord injury-related genes(Score>20)in the Genecards database,and then to predict the target genes of miR-146a-3p by Targetscan.The intersection of three gene sets was obtained to screen out insulin-like growth factor 1 as one of the important target genes.qPCR,western blot assay and immunohistochemistry were performed to analyze the expression level of insulin-like growth factor 1 in spinal cord tissues.The primary astrocytes were divided into NC group,NC-mimics group and miR-146a-3p mimics group.Annexin-V/PI staining was used to detect cell apoptosis.CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation.Transwell assay was used to detect cell migration ability. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expression of miR-146a-3p in the spinal cord tissue of the spinal cord injury group was lower than that of the sham operation group(P<0.05).The expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 in the spinal cord tissue of the spinal cord injury group was higher than that of the sham operation group(P<0.05).Compared with the NC group and NC-mimics group,the apoptotic rate of astrocytes was increased(P<0.01);the proliferation of astrocytes was decreased(P<0.01)and the number of migration was decreased(P<0.01)in the miR-146a-3p mimics group.To conclude,the expression of miR-146a-3p decreased and the expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 increased in spinal cord tissue after spinal cord injury.miR-146a-3p targeted regulation of insulin-like growth factor 1 in astrocytes,inhibited the proliferation and migration of astrocytes and promoted their apoptosis.

Objective::To investigate the distribution status of medicinal plants in the wild areas of Russian Caucasus and Altai, and clarify the types and efficacy information of medicinal plants in the area, so as to dig deep into new resources and new functions of medicinal plants in the countries along the Belt and Road. Method::Medicinal plants in the wild were searched and collected to make waxy specimens, and sent back to the country to extract the total DNA of the leaves of the leaves. Internal Transcribed Spacer(ITS)sequence universal primers were used for Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)amplification. The PCR products were sent for the two-way sequencing, and the sequencing results are spliced by software according to National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI). The same ITS sequence of the highest similarity species obtained by database BLAST was analyzed by DNAman software to identify the ITS sequence of the species and the ITS sequence of the same species. The MEGA 7 software was used as the phylogenetic tree, and the Kimura-2 parameter genetic distance was used to construct the neighbor joining(NJ) phylogenetic tree by the neighbor-joining method. The confidence of each branch of the development tree was tested by the bootstrap test method. A total of 2 000 cycles were performed, and the results were identified based on the clustering results. On this basis, the key medicinal plants in the Russian Caucasus and Altay wild areas were summarized and analyzed. Result::After BLAST alignment in NCBI database, the ITS sequences of each specimen were clustered with the login sequences on the NCBI database, which were separated from the outer group. The species classification of the specimens to be identified was determined by combining the characteristics of the specimens. A total of 51 plants were identified from the specimens collected in the field, covering 44 genera of 17 families, and 29 plants had clear efficacy records. The National Drug List of the Russian Federation and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia were retrieved to summarize commonly used medicinal plants in China and conclude that 20 kinds of Chinese and Russian common medicinal materials have different medicinal effects in local areas. This study has a reference significance for expanding the scope and clinical experience of traditional Chinese medicines, and provides a basis for strengthened local species conservation, development and utilization of wild medicinal plant resources.

RÉSUMÉ

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is mostly caused by severe trauma,which often leads to motor,sensory,reflex and sphincter dysfunction from the injury plane.It is the main cause of paraplegia.With the development of transportation and industry in modern society,the incidence of SCI is increasing year by year,but there is still a lack of ideal treatment drugs.Therefore,finding effective,safe and reliable drug treatment for spinal cord injury is one of the hotspots in basic and clinical research.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has the characteristics of cheapness and less side effects,and it has a long history to be used in clinical treatment of spinal cord injury. Recent studies have shown that some single TCM and their extracts can effectively alleviate or improve secondary spinal cord injury, such as local vascular dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress, cell apoptosis, axonal demyelination, glial scar formation, and confirm the scientific nature of their treatment of spinal cord injury.This paper summarized the mechanism of single TCM and its extracts in promoting the repair of spinal cord injury,including improving spinal cord edema,ischemia and hypoxia by regulating the expression of aquaporin-4(AQP-4),hypoxia-inducing factor(HIF)-1α,and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),inhibiting inflammation by regulating tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,interleukin(IL)-1β,inhibiting anti-oxygen free radical damage and lipid peroxidation.Chemicals,inhibit neuronal apoptosis,promote nerve cell repair and regeneration,inhibit the formation of glial scars and other aspects to alleviate pathological damage of spinal cord and promote the recovery of nerve function. It shows that traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages such as multi-target,multi-channel and multi- level.It has broad research prospects for treating SCI and improving prognosis.

RÉSUMÉ

To investigate the feasibility and clinical effects of lobulated free latissimus dorsi flap in repairing severe shank trauma with irregular soft tissue defect. Methods Eight patients with soft tissue defect of shank due to trauma were treated from February, 2013 to November, 2018, which were 5 males and 3 females. All wounds were irregular.The size of soft tissue defect ranged from 11.0 cm×15.0 cm to 15.0 cm×23.0 cm, with different degrees exposure of deep tissue such as bone and tendon. Five cases out of 8 were infected wound, 3 cases of which had internal fixation bracket exposed. Five infected wounds were firstly treated with negative pressure after debride-ment, then repaired with flap transplantation until the infection were completely controlled. Other wounds were re-paired directly after debridement. The free lobulated latissimus dorsi flap was designed and applied to repair the ir-regular soft tissue defect of shank.The lobulated latissimus dorsi flap with the outer branch of the thoracodorsal artery ranged from 14.0 cm×7.0 cm to 24.0 cm×8.5 cm.The lobulated latissimus dorsi flap with the inner branch of the tho-racodorsal artery ranged from 10.0 cm×5.0 cm to 15.0 cm×7.0 cm. When cutting the flap, the branch vessels should be protected to insure the continuity of the thoracodorsal artery. After spliced the 2 lobulated flaps, the thoracodorsal arteriovenous was anastomosed with the recipient region arteriovenous. All the donor sites were sutured directly. All patients were followed-up by outpatient and telephone regularly. Results Seven flaps survived well.Only 1 case of partial necrosis appeared at the distal edge of the lobulated flap and healed after wound care. All patients were fol-lowed-up from 3 to 30 months, averaged of 14 months. The texture of flap was flexible and the appearance was well. Only a linear scar was left in the donor site. The shoulder joint retained good mobility. Conclusion The lobulated latissimus dorsi flap has rich blood supply, concealed donor area and high survival rate after transplantation, which can flexibly repair the irregular soft tissue defect of the shank, and effectively prettify the appearance of the recipient area. This strategy has little effect on the appearance and function of the donor area, and worthy of promoting in clinic.

RÉSUMÉ

Human Nestin (hNestin) has been found to express in melanoma,and its expression is positively correlated with the advanced stage of melanoma.However,the precise role of hNestin in the development of melanoma has not been fully understood.The present study aimed to explore the role of hNestin in the proliferation and invasion of melanoma cells.The lentivirus vector carrying a short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) targeting hNestin (hNestin-shRNA-LV) was stably infected into human melanoma cells UACC903,which expressed high levels of hNestin.The effects of hNestin knockdown on the proliferation,apoptosis,migration of melanoma cells and the related signaling pathways were investigated by immunofluorence,Western blotting and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),respectively.The results showed that hNestin was expressed in most melanoma specimens and the melanoma cells studied.Knockdown of hNestin expression significantly inhibited the proliferation of melanoma cells,blocked the formation of cell colony,arrested cell cycle at G1/S stage and suppressed the activation of Akt and GSK3β.hNestin-silent cells also showed a sheet-like appearance with tight cell-cell adhesion,decreased membrane expression of N-cadherin and β-catenin,and attenuated migration.Furthermore,hNestin silence resulted in the inhibition of tumor growth in vivo.Our study indicates that hNestin knockdown suppresses the proliferation of melanoma cells,which might be through affecting Akt-GSK3β-Rb pathway-mediated G1/S arrest,and hNestin silence inhibits the migration by selectively modulating the expression of cell adhesion molecules in the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

RÉSUMÉ

In this study, ecological factors, occurrence records, the essential oil components content were used to predict the potential geographical distribution and quality division of Mentha haplocalyx in China based on the MaxEnt modeling and geographic information system(GIS). The AUC of ROC curve was above 0.950,indicating that the predictive results with the maximum model were highly precise. The results showed that the main environmental factors determining the potential distribution were annual average precipitation (the contribution rate, 45.87%), mean temperature of wettest quarter (11.92%), mean temperature of warmest quarter (7.84%), average monthly precipitation of May (6.80%), standard deviation of seasonal temperature variation (4.42%), mean temperature of the coldest quarter (3.47%) and altitude (2.92%). The environmental variables in the highly potential areas were determined as annual average precipitation around [530,1 465] mm, mean temperature of wettest quarter around [24.5,29] ℃, mean temperature of the warmest quarter around [25.5,29] ℃, average monthly precipitation of May around [67,133] mm, standard deviation of temperature seasonal change around [8 333,9 643], mean temperature of the coldest quarter around [1.7,8.3] ℃ and the altitude around [0,165] mm. The best quality distribution of M. haplocalyx was mainly located in Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Zhejiang and Heilongjiang. The zoning results basically coincide with the actual situation. The quality division of M. haplocalyx can be used for providing a scientific basis for selection of artificial planting base and guidance of its production.

RÉSUMÉ

In order to compare the differences of 35 Menthae Herba samples collected on the market and at producing areas, the contents of six total terpenoids, the essential oil and chromatographic fingerprints were analyzed, which provided evidences for drawing up the commodity specifications and grading criteria of Menthae Herba. GC-MS method was used to analyze the chemical constituents of 35 different samples. The chromatographic fingerprints obtained by using GC were then evaluated by similarity analysis, hierarchical clustering analysis and principal component analysis. The relativity between the content of six terpenoids and the essential oil were studied. In this study, the chemical profiles of 35 samples from different producing areas had significant disparity. All samples collected in the report could be categorized into four chemical types, L-menthol, pulegone, carvone and L-menthone, but the chemical profiles had no relationship with the areas. The chromatographic fingerprints of the samples from different types were dissimilar, while the different producing areas were difficult to be separated. It was indicated that the content of volatile oil was positively correlated with the content of L-menthol and the sum of six total terpenoids. The content of the essential oil, L-menthol and the sum of six total terpenoids of Menthae Herba were considered as one of the commercial specifications and grading criteria. These results in the research could be helpful to draw up the commercial specification and grading criteria of Menthae Herba from a view of chemical information.

They were divided into normal control group (A(1), without treatment, n = 6), decellularization group (B, decellularized, n = 12), decellularization + MMP-7 group (C, treated with MMP-7 after decellularization, n = 12), decellularization + MMP-7 + genipin group (D, treated with MMP-7 and genipin after decellularization, n = 12), and decellularization + MMP-7 + genipin + vacuum freeze-drying group (E, treated with MMP-7, genipin, and vacuum freeze-drying after decellularization, n = 12) according to the random number table. Meanwhile, 6 pieces of human acellular dermal matrix, with the same size and thickness as listed above, were taken as control group (A(2), without treatment) in the cytocompatibility tests. HE staining and scanning electron microscope were used to detect the cell number and the change in tissue structure in dermal scaffold in groups A(1) and B-E. Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine residual vimentin, laminin and collagen IV in groups A(1), B, and C. Cytotoxicity tests were employed to test the cytotoxicity of the leaching solutions of groups B-E. Human fibroblasts were seeded on the surface of dermal scaffold in groups A(2) and B-E. The proliferation of fibroblasts were determined on post culture day (PCD) 3, 7, and 14, and the content of IL-6 and IL-8 in the supernatant were determined on PCD 3 and 7 with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data were processed with two-way analysis of variance and LSD- t test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Granular structure with hair follicle in pale yellow color was observed in group A(1). Small amount of hair, epithelial root sheath, nuclei, cell debris-like structure, vimentin, laminin, and collagen IV were observed in group B but not in group C, D, or E, which had been treated with MMP-7. The toughness of dermal scaffold was stronger in groups D, E than in groups B and C as observed in gross condition observation. The collagen fibers of dermal scaffold in groups C-E maintained their structural integrity with similar arrange as that of group A(1). The interspaces among collagen fibers in groups C-E were all increased, while those of groups C and D were similar but larger than that in group B; the interspace in group E was the largest. Groups B-E scored level 0 or 1 in the cytotoxicity test. Fibroblasts could proliferate on the surface of dermal scaffold in groups A(2) and B-E. Furthermore, with the extension of culture time, fibroblasts gradually became to be stratified to form multiple layers, and they proliferated toward the dermis. High density of fibroblasts was observed on the surface in groups D and E and in the deep layer in groups A(2) and C. On PCD 7, the contents of IL-6 [(132 ± 14), (104 ± 9), (122 ± 14), (120 ± 12), (128 ± 17) pg/mL] and IL-8 [(135 ± 18), (102 ± 17), (127 ± 18), (134 ± 23), (141 ± 24) pg/mL] in the supernatant in groups A(2) and B-E were significantly higher than those on PCD 3 [(55 ± 13), (34 ± 8), (48 ± 8), (50 ± 13), (49 ± 12) pg/mL] and [(93 ± 19), (63 ± 11), (82 ± 15), (82 ± 16), (89 ± 16) pg/mL], with F values respectively 98.869, 184.038, 125.531, 93.237, 87.265 and 15.694, 23.451, 22.801, 19.607, 18.808, P values below 0.05. The differences among groups A(2) and B-E in the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 at each time point were statistically significant (with F values respectively 2.809, 3.301 and 3.757, 3.266, P values below 0.05). The differences among groups A(2), C, D, and E in amount of IL-6 and IL-8 at each time point were not statistically significant (with t values respectively 0.058 - 1.905 and 0.034 - 1.295, P values above 0.05), but they were all higher than those in group B (with t values respectively 3.707 - 5.612 and 2.785 - 4.079, P values below 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The low immunogenic porcine dermal scaffold treated with MMP-7, genipin, and vacuum freeze-drying after decellularization, has good cytocompatibility. The growth of only a few fibroblasts in the dermal scaffold may be correlated with genipin, which increases tissue toughness.</p>
