Establishment of Poly （I∶C）-induced Cytokine Storm Model in Mice and Intervention Effect of Artesunate and Qingfei Paidu Decoction / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo observe the intervention effect of artesunate （ART） and Qingfei Paidu decoction （QFPD） on the mouse model of cytokine storm （CS） induced by viral mimic Poly （I∶C）. MethodEighty-four SPF male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into seven groups， with 12 mice in each group. Mice， except for those in the blank group （n=12）， were subjected to CS model induction by tail vein injection of Poly （I∶C） at 15 mg·kg-1， followed by drug treatments of low-dose ART （ART-l， 10 mg·kg-1）， medium-dose ART （ART-m， 20 mg·kg-1）， high-dose ART （ART-h， 40 mg·kg-1）， Qingfei Paidu Decoction （QFPD， 2.4 g·kg-1）， and dexamethasone （DXM， 10 mg·kg-1）. After 6 hours， lung tissues， bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF）， spleen， lung， and peripheral blood were collected. The lung and spleen indexes were calculated and the number of inflammatory cells in BALF was detected. The pathological changes in lung tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interferon-γ （IFN-γ）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and IL-6 in BALF were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The expression of immune cells in BALF and peripheral blood was detected by flow cytometry. ResultThe analysis of lung and spleen indexes showed that compared with the blank group， the model group showed increased lung and spleen indexes to varying degrees （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the ART groups showed reduced spleen index （P<0.05） and the ART-l group showed reduced lung index （P<0.05）. Additionally， the QFPD group showed reduced lung and spleen indexes （P<0.05）. ELISA results showed that except for TNF-α， the levels of IFN-γ， IL-1β， and IL-6 in the model group increased compared with those in the blank group （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the ART-l group and the QFPD group showed reduced content of TNF-α （P<0.05）， and all groups with drug intervention showed reduced content of IFN-γ， IL-1β， and IL-6 （P<0.05）. The number of inflammatory cells in BALF showed a downward trend in the model group， and the number of cells increased in the groups with drug intervention except for the DXM group （P<0.05）. Flow cytometry showed that compared with the blank group， the model group showed decreased number of CD3 in the peripheral blood （P<0.05）， increased Ly-6G and F4/80 （P<0.05）， decreased expression of CD45， CD3， and F4/80 in BALF （P<0.05）， and increased expressions of Ly-6G （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the ART groups and QFPD group showed increased CD45 content in peripheral blood （P<0.05）， decreased Ly-6G and F4/80 content （P<0.05）， increased CD45 and F4/80 content in BALF （P<0.05）， and decreased expression of Ly-6G （P<0.05）. ConclusionART and QFPD have a good protective effect on Poly （I∶C）-induced CS in mice， and the mechanism is related to the effective intervention in immune cell disorder.

A comparative study about the time of pregnancy and gestational age of SD rats by three methods / 中国基层医药

Objective To explore more accurate method about the time of pregnancy and gestational age of SD rats.Methods 7 to 8-week-old SD rats (18 females,6 males) were selected,the ratios of male to female were 2:1,5:2,1:1 and 4:1.Through vaginal plug observation,vaginal smear method,weight comparison method to verify the exact date of pregnancy in the next morning.Results Vaginal observed at milky vaginal plug sperm could be observed as sickle rat sperm head.Body weight of pregnant rats changed obviously.Three detection methods were used to detect the pregnancy time for 18 females.The positive rate of vaginal plug observation was 5.6％.The positive rate of vaginal smear method was 44.4％.The false negative rate of vaginal smear method was 11.1％.The positive rate of body weight method was 11.1％.The false positive rate was 5.6％.Conclusion The accuracy of vaginal smear is higher than the vaginal plug method and weight comparison method,the vaginal plug method can be used as the premise of the other two methods.Comparison method can be used as supplementary that the other two methods missed.

Objective To explore the influence of nursing intervention on the pocket infection and other related problems following CRT-D therapy in chronic heart failure patients.Methods The causes of pocket machinery burst and skin incision dehiscence,pocket bleeding or hematoma and pocket infection following CRT-D therapy from March 2008 to March 2011 were reviewed,then analyzing and summarizing them to work out a detailed nursing interventions plan.During April 2011 to June 2013,nurses carried out the nursing intervention on patients who accepted CRT-D implantation.At last we compared the occurrence of pocket machinery burst and skin incision dehiscence,pocket bleeding or hematoma and pocket infection during the period of 6 months after CRT-D therapy between the two groups.Results After the implementation of nursing interventions,the incidence of pocket infection and other related problems following CRT-D therapy in chronic heart failure patients reduced significantly.Conclusions The interventions such as rigorous preoperative skin preparation,eliminating the potential factors of infection,intraoperative strict aseptic operation,choosing the appropriate position of pocket,the implementation of interventions to prevent bleeding,meticulous and rigorous postoperative nursing,providing healthy knowledge sufciently and strengthening follow-up,finding problems and solving them timely can prevent the pocket machinery burst and skin incision dehiscence,pocket bleeding or hematoma and pocket infection following CRT-D therapy effectively.

Expression changes of intermedin and calcitonin receptor-like receptor in the kidney of rats after renal ischemia reperfusion injury / 中华肾脏病杂志

Objective To investigate the expressions of intermedin /adrenomeduliin 2 (IMD/AM2) and its receptor calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) in the kidney of rats after renal ischemia reperfusion injury(IRI). Methods Male Wistar rats were divided randomly into two groups: sham group and operation group. Renal IRI model was induced by clamping both renal arteries. Blood and kidney were harversted at 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h after reperfusion, respectively. Renal histological changes were semi-quantitated. Expressions of IMD and CRLR in the kidney were detected by Western blot, and the content of IMD in serum was measured by radioimmunity at 12 h, 48 h, 72 h after repeffusion. Results Kidneys of renal IRI model rats displayed significant pathologic changes, and the changes were much severer at 48 h after reperfusion. The expressions of IMD and CRLR in kidney were significantly up-regnlated at 12 h, 48 h, 72 h after renal IRI (P<0.01). The level of IMD in serum increased at 12 h, 48 h, 72 h after renal IRI (P<0.05). Conclusion The expressions of IMD and its receptor are up-regulated in the kidney after renal IRI, which may participate in the pathophysiological changes induced by renal IRI.
