ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the role of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1(TREM-1)in ath-erosclerosis induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia(CIH).Methods ApoE-/-mice were randomly divided into blank group,model group and experimental group.The mice in the model group and the experimental group were kept in a hypoxic environment and fed with a high-fat diet.After 4 weeks of high-fat feeding,mice in the experi-mental group were intraperitoneally injected with TREM-1 inhibitor LR12(5 mg/kg)for 8 weeks.After 12 weeks of feeding,the level of serum total cholesterol(TC),low density lipoprotein(LDL),triglyceride(TG),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and interleukin-10(IL-10)were detected.Histological analysis of aortic TREM-1 expression,plaque area and macrophage level were examined.Results Compared with blank group,the expression of TREM-1 in the aorta of the model group significantly increased(P<0.05).Com-pared with model group,the aortic plaque,the level of lipids in serum(TC,LDL,TG)and inflammatory factors(TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-10),aortic plaque,the expression of TREM-1 and infiltrating macrophages in aortic plaque of the experimental group were all significantly reduced(P<0.05).Conclusions TREM-1 is involved in the develop-ment of CIH-induced AS.Inhibition of TREM-1 can alleviate CIH-induced AS and its mechanism is related to the inhibition of macrophage activation.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the application effects of a one-time filling root canal in root canal therapy in plateau areas and evaluate its feasibility in oral clinic in plateau areas.Methods:Sixty-eight patients who received root canal therapy for anterior teeth and premolars (75 teeth) from August to December 2018 in Shannan People's Hospital were included in this study. They were divided into control group ( n = 33; 36 teeth) and observation group ( n = 35; 39 teeth) according to odd and even numbers of admission date. Patients in the control group received conventional root canal therapy and those in the observation group underwent one-time root canal filling therapy. Efficacy was compared between the two groups. Results:After 1 week, 2 weeks and 1 month of treatment, the success rate in the control group was 88.9%, 94.4%, 100.0%, respectively, and it was 87.2%, 94.9% and 100.0%, respectively in the observation group. There was no significant difference in success rate between the two groups at three time points studied (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:One-time filling root canal therapy can achieve ideal therapeutic effects under strict control of surgical indications. This method is worthy of clinical promotion especially in plateau areas.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Yupingfeng Powder (YPF), a kind of preventative patent medicine, is chosen for treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to its high frequency application in respiratory tract diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, respiratory tract infections, and pneumonia, with the advantage of reducing the relapse rate and the severity. However, the active components of YPF and the mechanisms of components affecting COVID-19 are unclear. This study aimed to determine active constituents and elucidate its potential mechanisms. Methods: Ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF-MS) and liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-QQQ-MS) were used to determine the components and absorbable constituents of YPF. Secondly, TCMSP, Drugbank, Swiss and PharmMapper were used to search the targets of absorbable bioactive constituents of YPF, and the targets of COVID-19 were identified based on GeneCards and OMIM databases. STRING database was used to filter the possible inter-protein interactions. Thirdly, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways analysis were performed to identify molecular function and systemic involvement of target genes. Results: A total of 61 components of YPF and 36 absorbable constituents were identified through UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. Wogonin, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, 5-O-methylvisamminol, astragaloside IV and 5-O-methylvisamminol (hydroxylation) were vital constituents for the treatment of COVID-19, and RELA, TNF, IL-6, MAPK14 and MAPK8ere recognized as key targets of YPF. The major metabolic reactions of the absorbed constituents of YPF were demethylation, hydroxylation, sulfation and glucuronidation. GO and KEGG pathway analysis further showed that the most important functions of YPF were T cell activation, response to molecule of bacterial origin, cytokine receptor binding, receptor ligand activity, cytokine activity, IL-17 signaling pathway, Chagas disease, lipid and atherosclerosis, etc. Conclusion: The approach of combining UPLC-Q/TOF-MS with network pharmacology is an effective tool to identify potentially bioactive constituents of YPF and its key targets on treatment of COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the changes in the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters of the pontocerebellar tract 3 months and one year after ischemic stroke and analyze the data′s potential for predicting long-term motor outcomes.Methods:Thirty patients with middle cerebral artery infarction were prospectively studied using DTI within 3 months and 1 year after the onset. A region of interest-based analysis was performed for the fractional anisotropy (FA) of the middle cerebellar peduncles (MCP) in the pontocerebellar fibers (PCF). Neurological functioning was evaluated using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and the degree of paresis was assessed at the same time using paresis grading. At one year after the onset, balance function, functional prognosis and self-care ability were evaluated using the Brunel Balance Scale, the modified Rankine Scale and the Functional Independence Scale respectively.Results:The average FA on the healthy side 3 months and 1 year after onset was significantly less than on the affected side at each time point. The ratio of the FA of the affected side to that of the unaffected side (rFA) in the PCF correlated significantly with the average paresis scores of the lower and upper extremity and the total paresis score at each time point. Moreover, the rFA of the PCF was significantly correlated with the average functional independence score, the prognosis for the upper and lower extremities as well as motor functioning. The area ratio under the ROC curve of the PCF for predicting lower extremity motor outcome was 0.84, and the optimal threshold was 0.92 (sensitivity 71.4%, specificity 73.9%). The area ratio under the ROC curve was not a significant predictor of upper extremity motor outcome.Conclusion:The DTI parameter rFA of the PCF in patients with subacute middle cerebral artery infarction can help to predict the long-term recovery of motor ability. It can serve as an important reference index for predicting the long-term motor ability of the lower limbs.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of annular pancreas in neonates.@*METHODS@#Clinical data of 114 neonates with annular pancreas admitted in the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University from January 2009 to December 2018 were reviewed. The demographic parameters (gestational age, birth weight), clinical manifestations, onset time, results of antenatal examination, associated anomalies, radiological findings, operations, postoperative complications were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#One hundred and two cases were examined by abdominal echography, in which 68 cases showed duodenal obstruction, 4 cases showed annular pancreas. Plain abdomen X-ray examination performed in 113 cases before operation, 76 cases presented double-bubble sign, 12 cases presented single-bubble sign and 5 cases had high-position intestinal obstruction. Upper gastrointestinal radiography (UGI) was performed in 103 cases, which suggested duodenal obstruction in 102 cases. Operations were performed in all cases, of which 69 cases were operated under laparoscopy including 1 case converted to open laparotomy. The mean fasting time after surgery was (7.8±2.7) d, and the mean length of hospital stay was (16.9±10.1) d. Five patients had postoperative complications. The incidence of postoperative complications in antenatal abnormal group was lower than that in the antenatal non-abnormal group (<0.05); the average fasting time in laparoendscopic surgery group was shorter than that in traditional laparotomy group (<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Neonates with recurrent vomiting early after birth should be highly suspected to have annular pancreas. The fetal chromosome examination should be performed with abnormal antenatal screening. Surgery is the only effective way to diagnose and treat annular pancreas, and laparoscopic surgery could be the first choice for experienced doctors.

ABSTRACT

The metabolic effect of Fo-Shou-San on blood deficiency mice was studied by using metabolomic method. UPLC-QTOF/MS was used to analyze the plasma metabolome in blood deficiency mice. MS data were processed by MarkerLynx software. With multivariate statistical analysis of plasma metabolite profiles, a clear separation among control, blood deficiency model, and Fo-Shou-San groups was achieved. Potential biomarkers were selected according to the parameters of variable importance in the projection (VIP) and identified according to MS information and database retrieval. The metabolic network of blood deficiency was predicted via MetPA database. Twenty-two potential biomarkers were identified and used to explain the thiamine metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, histidine metabolism, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, tyrosine metabolism and citrate cycle (TCA cycle). Those metabolic pathways were disturbed in blood deficiency mice, but which could be regulated nearly to normal state after Fo-Shou-San administration. In this study, the metabolomics of blood deficiency mice and the action mechanism of nourishing blood effect of Fo-Shou-San were evaluated. The physiological and metabolic state of the organism could be represented comprehensively by using metabolomics. And metabolomics can be used to evaluate the pharmacodynamics and related mechanisms of Chinese medicine and formulae.

ABSTRACT

This study was aimed to confirm animal model and evaluating indicators of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease combined with pulmonary interstitial fibrosis (PIF-COPD). PIF-COPD rats were induced by intratracheal administration of Bleomycin(BLM, 6 mg·kg-1) and cigarette smoke stimulation for 47 days. After that, the lung function and index were measured. Changes of pathomorphism of lung were observed with hematoxylin-eosin staining. Collagen protein I and III were determined by Sirius red staining. The protein antibody microarray chip was employed for serum cytokine expression pattern measurement. The results showed that in the lung function testing, the central airway resistance, tissue damping, dynamic elasticity of model rats increased significantly and the dynamic compliance reduced significantly. The lung index of model rats increased significantly (compared with the control group, P < 0.01). The pathological tests showed that lung tissues of model rats showed emphysema and fibration with inflammatory infiltration, and content of collagen type I and III increasing significantly. The contents of MMP-8, TIMP-1, IL-10, IL-13, PDGF-AA, Beta-NGF of model rats serum increased obviously compared with the control group and RAGE reduced compared with the normal control. It was concluded that rats which were induced by intratracheal administration of BLM (6 mg·kg-1) and cigarette smoke stimulation for 47 days can be used as animal model establishment of PIF-COPD. The respiratory function and serum levels of MMP-8, TIMP-1, IL-13, PDGF and NGF can be used as evaluating indicators of PIF-COPD model.
