RESUMO
Methods The model of heart failure after myocardial infarction was established by left coronary artery liga-tion in rats. Two weeks after modeling, all rats were randomly divided into model group, LGZGD group, and captopril group. Meanwhile sham operation group was set up. The rats were given continuous intragastric administration with drug or distilled water for 28 days, once a day. The behavioral signs of rats in each group were observed. The cardiac function of rats in each group was examined by echocardiography. Serum BNP and NT-ProBNP content were detected by enzyme-linked immunoassay; The changes of myocardial his-topathological and collagen fibers in rats were detected using sirius staining. The contents of oxidative stress index including ROS, SOD in myocardial tissue of rats in each group were observed by DCFH-DA fluorescent probe and Enzyme-linked immunoassay. The ultra-structure of mitochondria was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Expressions of apoptotic proteins ( mitochondrial CytC, cytoplasmic CytC) were detec- ted by Western blot. Expression of proteins related to the Nrf2/BNIP3 pathway were examined by immunoflu-orescence and Western blot. Results LGZGD could significantly improve the cardiac function of rats, reduce the contents of BNP and NT-ProBNP, inhibit the excessive deposition of collagen in myocardial interstiti-um, reduce ROS, increase the content of SOD, improve mitochondrial structure damage, up-regulate the expression of Nrf2 and nuclear translocation, and reduce the expression of BNIP3. Conclusions LGZGD can inhibit the ventricular remodeling and prevent the occurrence of heart failure after myocardial infarction. Its pharmacological effects are mainly related to regulating the Nrf2/BNIP3 pathway, activating Nrf2, promoting its nuclear transfer, and further down-regulating BNIP3 , protecting mitochondrial function, and reducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis.
RESUMO
Aim To discuss the mechanism of Lurong Dabu Decoction on cough variant asthma. Methods Guinea pigs were divided into normal group(CON), model group(OVA), Lurong Dabu Decoction high-dose group(HIGH),low-dose group(LOW), and dexamethasone group(DEX)at random. The CVA model was established by smoking plus injection of OVA, aluminum hydroxide solution and nebulized inhalation to stimulate cough. Gguinea pigs were dissected 24 hours after the last challenge to obtain alveolar lavage fluid(BALF)and lung tissues. Immunoadsorption(ELISA)method was applied to detect the types of inflammatory cells and the content of inflammatory cytokines in BALF; HE and Masson staining of the middle lobe of the left lung were used to observe the pathological changes in lung tissues; immunohistochemical staining was used to observe TLR4 and WNT-5A protein expression and distribution of lung tissues; the protein extracted from the upper lobe of the left lung was used to measure the level of TLR4 and WNT-5A protein in lung tissues by Western blot; immunofluorescence was employed to measure the fluorescence intensity of TLR4 and WNT-5A in lung tissues; flow cytometry was used to detect IL-4 and IFN-γ in guinea pig lung tissues. Results Lurong Dabu Decoction could improve guinea pig airway inflammation, inhibit collagen fiber deposition, reduce the content of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in BALF, and inhibit the protein expression of TLR4 and WNT-5A in lung tissues and increase IFN-γ levels in lung tissues while decreasing IL-4 levels. Conclusion Lurong Dabu Decoction may inhibit the occurrence of CVA through TLR4/WNT-5A signaling pathway.

RESUMO
Aim To investigate the effect of astragalin (AG) on airway inflammation in asthmatic mice and its mechanism. Methods Fifty SPF male mice were randomly divided into normal group, asthma model group, and astragalin low (AG25), medium (AG50), and high (AG100) dose groups. A mouse model of asthma was prepared by egg albumin inhalation, the number of cells was counted by Diff-Quik staining after collecting bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and IL4, 5, and 13 levels in BALF were measured by ELISA. The inflammatory changes in mouse lung tissues were observed using HE staining. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured using a DCFH-DA probe, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were measured by colorimetry. IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, NOX2, p47phox, p-NF-κBp65, NF-κBp65, IκBα, p-IκBα and β-actin expressions in lung tissues were detected by Western blot. Results AG significantly reduced the number of inflammatory cells and total cells in BALF, decreased IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 contents in BALF and lung tissues, and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissues. AG inhibited nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 2 (NOX2) and p47phox expression, decreased ROS levels and MDA levels, increased SOD activity, and inhibited IκBα and NF-κBp65 phosphorylation. Conclusion AG attenuates airway inflammation in asthma by modulating the oxidative stress response through the NOX2/ROS/NF-κB signaling pathway.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the possible factors leading to failure of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing in maternal peripheral blood and analyze the pregnancy outcomes of this group of pregnant women.Methods:This retrospective study involved 5 195 women who underwent cfDNA testing in Peking University Third Hospital from April 2017 to April 2019. Based on the first cfDNA testing results, clinical characteristics of the pregnant women with successful (success group, n=5 107) and failed (failure group, n=88) cfDNA testing were compared using Mann-Whitney U test and Chi-square test. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of cfDNA testing failure and the effect of body mass index (BMI) on the success rate, and evaluate the feasibility of re-sampling and the factors affecting the unsuccessful testing of a second sample. Results:The failure rate of first cfDNA testing was 1.7% (88/5 195). Successful cfDNA testing was achieved in 74 (87.1%, 74/85) of 85 re-sampling cases, while results of the other 11 cases (12.9%, 11/85) remained invalid. Thus, the final failure rate was 0.2% (11/5 195). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that increased maternal age ( OR=1.086, 95% CI: 1.023-1.152, P=0.006), BMI ( OR=1.083, 95% CI: 1.021-1.149, P=0.008) and twin pregnancies ( OR=3.093, 95% CI: 1.715-5.577, P<0.001) were the risk factors of cfDNA testing failure, while increased cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) concentration ( OR=0.758, 95% CI: 0.720-0.761, P<0.001) was a protective factor. The overweight (BMI: 25-29.9 kg/m 2) and obese (BMI≥30 kg/m 2) women were 3.626 ( OR=3.626, 95% CI: 2.298-5.724, P<0.001) and 4.064 ( OR=4.064, 95% CI: 1.779-9.284, P=0.001) times more likely to have failed cfDNA testing than those with normal weight (BMI: 18.5-24.9 kg/m 2), respectively. The success rate of re-testing decreased as the maternal BMI increased, regardless of the time interval between the two samplings ( OR=0.840, 95% CI: 0.699-1.245, P=0.065). Seven out of the 74 cases with successful results in re-testing were at high risk, including one 45,X and one 47,XXY, confirmed by karyotyping amniocentesis. Among the 11 pregnant women with a failed testing after second sampling, eight underwent prenatal diagnosis with normal fetal chromosome karyotypes, and the other three cases without prenatal diagnosis all gave birth to neonates with normal phenotype. There was no statistical difference in the incidence of pregnancy loss between the failure and success group [9.1% (8/88) vs 2.5% (128/5 107), P=0.090]. Conclusions:Pregnant women with advanced age and higher BMI, lower cffDNA fraction and twin pregnancies are more likely to fail in cfDNA testing. For obese women, blood sampling can be postponed to a larger gestational age to reduce the failure rate. For pregnant women with failed testing in first sampling, a re-sampling is recommended, moreover, prenatal diagnosis is necessary for those had high-risk results or failed in re-testing.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of remote fetal monitoring and outpatient monitoring of high-risk pregnancy.METHODS: A total of 222 pregnant women delivered in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from December 2017 to December 2018(44 cases of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy,40 cases of gestational diabetes mellitus,22 cases of placental abnormalities,20 cases of preventive cervical cerclage,16 cases of scar uterus pregnancy,12 cases of umbilical cord around neck for 3 weeks or more,6 cases of multiple pregnancy,10 cases of twin pregnancy with one fetus dead in uterus,52 cases of patients without complications)were divided into two groups.In the observation group the fetus was monitored remotely at home,while the control group went to the hospital for fetal heart monitoring.The monitoring effect and neonatal status of the two groups were compared.RESULTS: The incidence of neonatal mild asphyxia in observation group and control group was 1.80% vs.4.50%,and there was no severe neonatal asphyxia.There was no significant difference in the incidence of premature delivery,neonatal weight or vaginal delivery rate(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Compared with monitoring in outpatient department,remote fetal monitoring can detect abnormalities in time and intervention can be performed,so it is equally effective for high-risk pregnancy.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of sesamin on mast cell activation and its inflammatory mediator release,as well as its possible mechanisms of action.Methods:HCM-1 cells were activation by stimulation with 10 μg/ml anti-DNP IgE for 6 h and challenge with 100 ng/ml DNP-HAS for 10 min.Sesamin was administration at the concentration of 25,50 and 100 μg/L prior to DNP-HAS challenge,subsequently the effect of sesamin on mast cell degranulation was investigated by light microscope,and histamine release and expression of cytokines such as TNF-α IL-6,IL-1β,IL-8 of mast cells after sesamin treatment were investigated by ELISA.Western blot was used to determine the effect of sesamin on FcεRI downstream signaling including Lyn,Syk and PKCα activation,and IκBα phosphorylation and NF-κB activation.Results:DNP-HAS significantly increased mast cell degranulation,histamine release and those cytokines expression,enhanced Lyn,Syk,PKCα,IκBα phosphorylation and NF-κB activation(P<0.05). Sesamin(50,100 μg/L) significantly decreased mast cell degranulation,histamine release and cytokines expression (TNF-α,IL-4,IL-1β,and IL-8),reduced activity of Lyn,Syk,kinases and PKCα and IκBα phosphorylation,and inhibited NF-κB activation(P<0.05).Conclusion: Sesamin suppresses mast cell activation and inflammatory mediators release through inhibition of PKCα/NF-κB signaling pathway.
RESUMO
Aim To investigate whether polydatin re-duces airway inflammation in asthmatic mouse model and explore whether this pathway is related to p38 MAPK/Nrf2/HO-1 . Methods After the establish-ment of the OVA-induced asthmatic mouse model, the animals were injected with 30 mg·kg-1 and 45 mg· kg-1 of polydatin diluted in 0. 2 mL normal saline, while the control group was replaced by normal saline. HE, PAS and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissue. Diff-Quick staining was used to classify and count the number of inflamma-tory cells in BALF. ELISA was used to detect IgE ex-pressions in BALF. The content of ROS in BALF cells was detected by DHR-123 . The activities of antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT and MDA in BALF were detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. The expression of HO-1 in lung tissue was detected by im-munohistochemistry. The protein and mRNA expres-sions of Nrf2 and HO-1 in lung tissue of mice were de-tected by Western blot and RT-PCR. Results Poly-datin treatment significantly reduced inflammatory cell infiltration mucosal secretion, goblet cell proliferation and collagen deposition in the lung tissue of mice, and decreased the number of inflammatory cells and the ex-pression of total IgE and ROS in BALF. It also in-creased the levels of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD and CAT, and lowered the level of MDA. Polydatin re-duced the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK in the lung tissue of mice, enhanced the levels of mRNA and pro-tein expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 and promoted the nuclear transfer of Nrf2 . The above effects of polydatin were dose-dependent. Conclusions Polydatin exerts anti-oxidative effects in OVA-induced asthmatic mouse model via anti-oxidant pathway. The mechanism may be achieved through the p38 MAPK/Nrf2/HO-1 path-way.
RESUMO
Objective To compare differences of clinical factors related to early pregnancy loss between invitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment and natural pegnancy. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the 363 cases of early pregnancy loss between Dec. 2015 to May 2016 in Peking University Third Hospital, during which 173 cases were after IVF-ET treatment(IVF-ET group), and others were natural pregnancies(natural group). Results The average age in IVF-ET group was significantly higher than that in the natural group [(34.1±4.3)versus(31.8±4.1)years old, P<0.01]. The terminating time of pregnancy loss in IVF-ET group was short than that in the natural group [(59.8±9.2) versus(69.9 ± 11.1)days, P<0.01]. The incidence of embryo abnormal chromosome in IVF-ET group was significantly lower than that in the natural group [57.2%(99/173)versus 74.2%(141/190), P<0.01], during which abnormal chromosome numbers were the most common. Conclusions The pregnancy loss of early pregnancy is mainly caused by chromosome abnormality. The proportion of chromosome abnormality in early pregnancy loss after IVF-ET is not higher than that of natural pregnancy, indicating that there are relatively reliable gametes and embryo safety in IVF treatment.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effects of tetrandrine (Tet) on proliferation and activation of rat cardiac fibroblasts.@*METHODS@#Firstly, the cell counting kit-8 (cck-8) assay was applied to detect the effects of Tet with different concentrations on proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts. Secondly, transforming growth factor (TGF-β)with a concentration of 5 μg/L was used to induce the cardiac fibroblast activation, and Western blot was performed to measure the expression variation of β-catenin, vimentin (Vm), fibronectin (Fn) and smooth muscle α-actin (SMA). At last, the real-time PCR was conducted to measure the expression change of collagen-1(Col-1) and collagen-3(Col-3).@*RESULTS@#The cck-8 assay showed that the Tet with different concentrations respectively, which were 0.5 μmol/L, 1 μmol/L, 2 μmol/L, 4 μmol/L, and 8 μmol/L, significantly inhibited the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts. The viability was decreased to 94.4%,84.9%,74.9%,63.8%and 50.3% respectively of the control group when the Tet concentration changed, and the difference was statistically significant, P=0.043, P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001 respectively. Western blot revealed that the expressions of β-catenin, Fn, SMA and Vm, were up-regulated by TGF-β(5 μg/L), the result showed that the difference was statistically significant, and the P values were 0.001,0.008,0.010,0.001 respectively. Then, the up-regulation of β-catenin, Fn and SMA was attenuated by pre-treatment of Tet, and the result also displayed that the difference was statistically significant, and the P values were 0.009, 0.005, 0.019,respectively. While there was no significant change in the expression of Vm, according to Western blotting, and P>0.05,at the same time, real-time PCR indicated that the up-regulations of Col-1 and Col-3 which were induced by TGF-β were blocked by pre-treatment of Tet, the result showed that the difference was statistically significant, P<0.001.@*CONCLUSION@#According to the experimental results, we can draw the conclusion that: the Tet can significantly inhibit the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts, meanwhile, it can block the activation of cardiac fibroblasts, which is induced by TGF-β. It is supposed that the Tet may probably have anti myocardial fibrosis, which indicates that it may probably be a medicine which is used to block the cardiac remodeling.

Objective@#To investigate the effect of alpha-lipoic acid (α-LA) combined with tamoxifen citrate (TC) in the treatment of oligoasthenospermia.@*METHODS@#From June to November 2016, we treated 60 patients with oligoasthenospermia in our Department of Andrology, 30 (the trial group) with oral α-LA (0.6 g, qd) + TC (20 mg, qd) and the other 30 (the control group) with oral L-carnitine (1g, bid) + TC (20 mg, qd). Before and after 3 months of medication, we examined the semen parameters of the patients and the levels of their seminal oxidative stress biomarkers, including methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in the seminal plasma. We also compared the pregnancy rate and adverse reactions between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#Totally, 57 of the patients completed the treatment, 28 in the trial group and 29 in the control. Compared with the baseline, the patients of the trial group showed significant improvement after 3 months of medication in the semen volume ([2.50 ± 0.71] vs [3.37 ± 0.70] ml, P 0.05) except in TAC, which was markedly more improved in the former than in the latter (P 0.05). After 3 months of treatment, 3 pregnancies were achieved in the trial group and 1 in the control (10.7% vs 3.45%, P >0.05). No obvious adverse events occurred during the treatment.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Alpha-lipoic acid combined with tamoxifen citrate can evidently improve semen parameters in oligoasthenospermia patients by relieving oxidative stress injury.

Objective To study the expression and clinical correlation of miR-141 in peripheral blood and tumor tissue in elderly patients with rectal cancer.Methods Rectal tumor tissue and tumor-adjacent normal tissues were taken in 75 cases of rectal cancer.The expression levels of miR-141 in peripheral blood and tumor tissue as well as tumor-adjacent normal tissues were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction method.The correlation of miR-141 expression between peripheral blood and tumor tissue,and the correlation of peripheral blood miR-141 with clinicopathologic features and clinical prognosis were analyzed.Results (1) Compared with peripheral blood in the subjects undergoing normal physical examination or tumor-adjacent normal tissue in the patients with rectal cancer,the miR-141 expression level in peripheral blood and tumor tissue in the patients with rectal cancer was decreased significantly (P<0.01).(2) The cancer tissue miR-141 level in the patients with lymph node metastasis was positively correlated with peripheral blood miR-141 level (r=0.694,P<0.01),and cancer tissue miR-141 level in the patients without lymph node metastasis was positively correlated with peripheral blood miR-141 level (r=0.725,P<0.01).(3) The differences between peripheral blood miR-141 level with tumor stage,tumor differentiation degree and lymphatic metastasis had statistical significance (P<0.01).(4)The postoperative 6-month follow up displayed that among 75 cases,13 cases(17.33%) appeared replase/ metastasis,and peripheral blood miR-141 level was (2.64±0.34),which was significantly lower than that in the patents without replase/metastasis (P<0.01).Conclusion Expression variation trend of miR-141 in peripheral blood is similar to that in tumor tissue,which can reflect the clinicopathologic feature in the patients with rectal patients.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effects of Mycobacterium tuberculosis heparin-binding he-magglutinin (HBHA) on the polarization of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) and a mu-rine macrophage cell line(Raw264.7 cells). Methods After HBHA was confirmed to be able to enter into macrophages by immunofluorescence, mouse BMDM and Raw264. 7 cells were treated with LPS (100 ng/ml)+IFN-γ (2.5 ng/ml),IL-4 (20 ng/ml),HBHA (1 μg/ml,3 μg/ml,6 μg/ml,10 μg/ml) and ESAT-6 (5 μg/ml),respectively. IL-6,IL-12 and TNF-α in the supernatants of cell culture were measured by ELISA. RT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of molecular markers of macrophage polarization [inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), TNF-α, Arg-1 and CD206] at mRNA level. Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of iNOS and Arg-1 at protein level. Results Increased secretion of IL-6, IL-12 and TNF-α in the supernatants of cell culture and enhanced expression of iNOS and TNF-α at mRNA level were observed after treating BMDM with Mycobacterium tuberculosis HBHA. Similarly,in HBHA-trea-ted Raw264.7 cells,the secretion of IL-6 and the expression of TNF-α were also up-regulated. Mycobacteri-um tuberculosis HBHA and ESAT-6 had similar effects on murine macrophages. Neither of them could in-crease the expression of Arg-1,a molecular marker of M2 macrophages,in BMDM at protein level,but both enhanced the expression of iNOS,a molecular marker of M1 macrophages,in BMDM and Raw264.7 cells. Conclusion Mycobacterium tuberculosis HBHA can induce the polarization of murine macrophages to M1 phenotype.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the changes of peripheral blood tacrolimus concentration and lymphocyte subsets in the uterus transplant recipient,and provide the evidence for monitoring the immune status after uterus transplantation.Methods The peripheral blood tacrolimus concentrations of the uterus transplant recipient during 1 year after transplantation were measured with the microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA).Meanwhile,the whole blood cell counts and lymphocyte subsets were determined by the blood analyzer and flow cytometer,respectively.Results The blood tacrolimus concentrations of the uterus transplant recipient in the first month and second month after transplantation were (13.51 ± 3.92) ng/mL and (15.58 ± 1.19) ng/mL,respectively.The lymphocyte absolute counts were normal before transplantation.At the fifth day after transplantation,the counts of CD3 + T lymphocytes,CD4 + T lymphocytes,CD8 + T lymphocytes and NK cells and the ratio of CD4/CD8 were significantly decreased.One week after transplantation,the counts of CD4 + T lymphocytes were recovered to the normal range and maintained,but its recovery was slower than that of CD8 + T lymphocytes.The ratio of CD4/CD8 ranged from 0.4 to 0.8 during 10 days after transplantation,and increased and maintained between 0.8 and 1.1 after that.The counts of NK cells increased gradually from the 10th day after transplantation,but still did not recover to the level before transplantation even at the 20th day after transplantation.However,the counts and percentages of B lymphocytes did not decrease but increased at the fifth day after transplantation,and recovered to normal gradually from the 10th day after transplantation.There was no significant correlation between the CD3 + T lymphocyte count and blood tacrolimus concentration.Conclusion The dynamic changes of blood lymphocyte subsets and tacrolimus concentration exist in the uterus transplant recipient,which need to be further verified by a large amount of clinical data.
