SuanZaoRen decoction amliorates mitochondrial dysfunction of APP/PS1 mice via activating AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway / 中国药理学通报

Aim To explore the effect of Suanzaoren decoction(SZRD) on mitochondrial dysfunction in AD model of APP/PS1 mice via AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway and to reveal the possible mechanism. Methods Thirty APP/PS1 mice were randomly divided into app /PS1 group, low-dose SZRD group(L-SZRD) and high-dose SZRD group(H-SZRD). Ten C57BL/6JNju mice were set as control group(WT). Morris water maze test was used to detect the learning and memory ability of mice. Thioflavin T staining was used to observe senile plaques hippocampus. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression level of Aβ in hippocampus. Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the mitochondrial morph hology in hippocampus. Kits were employed to detect the contents of ATP and ROS in hippocampus; Western blot was employed to detect the expression levels of AMPK, p-AMPKThrK172, SIRT1, PGC-1α, NRF1, NRF2 and TFAM in hippocampus. Results Compared to the APP/PS1 group, L-SZRD and H-SZRD induced mouse cognitive impairment, reduced the deposition of senile plaques, inhibited the expression of Aβ, improved the damage of mitochondrial structure, increased the content of ATP in the hippocampus, reduced the expression level of ROS in hippocampus and increased the expression of p-AMPK-ThrK172, SIRT1, PGC-1α, NRF1, NRF2, TFAM Conclusions SZRD could improve the cognitive impairment, senile plaque deposition and mitochondrial dysfunction of AD mice, and its mechanism may be involved in the up-regulation of the expression of AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway.Reduced the Deposition of Senile Plaques, Inhibited the Expression of Aβ, Improved The Damage of Mitochondric Structure, Increased the Content of At in TH. E hippocampus, Reduced the Expression level of Ros in Hippocampus and Increased The Expression of P-Ampk-Thrk172, SIRT1, SIRT1 PGC-1α, NRF1, NRF2, TFAM. Conclusions SZRD could improve the cognitive impairment, senile plaque deposition and mitochondrial dysfunction of AD mice, and its mechanism may be involved in the up-regulation of the expression of AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway.Reduced the Deposition of Senile Plaques, Inhibited the Expression of Aβ, Improved The Damage of Mitochondric Structure, Increased the Content of At in TH.

Expert consensus on clinical management strategy for patients with thoracic trauma during the epidemic period of COVID-19 / 解放军医学杂志

Since December 2019, a corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been continuing to spread throughout China. This epidemic is characterized by strong infectivity and concealment. China's domestic epidemic is gradually under control by strict quarantine and control measures, meanwhile the incidence of trauma has reduced. However, with the resumption of industry and traffic, the chest trauma caused mainly by traffic accidents and high falling has increased gradually, great risks and challenges are faced in clinical treatment. Therefore, combined with the current epidemic environment and the treatment characteristics of thoracic trauma, experts from the Thoracic Trauma Group, Thoracic Surgery Branch of China International Exchange and Promotion Association for Medical and Health Care and Chest Trauma Management Committee, Guangdong Association of Thoracic Disease develop an "Expert consensus on clinical management strategy for patients with thoracic trauma during the epidemic period of COVID-19 pneumonia". In order to promote the treatment of chest trauma in a scientific and orderly way, the consensus elaborated 4 parts, including classification and treatment strategy for patients with thoracic trauma required a surgical procedure, non-operative treatment of patients with thoracic trauma, management process of chest trauma, and protection and management of ward.
