Metabolomics Analysis of Plasma at Different Stages Based on UPLC-Q-TOF/MS： Modeling of Spleen Deficiency with Dampness Retention-ulcerative Colitis Rats and Administration of Shenling Baizhusan / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveBased on ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-TOF/MS）， the changes of endogenous markers in rat plasma at the different stage， namely modeling and administration of Shenling Baizhusan （SLBZS）， and the mechanism of SLBZS in the treatment of ulcerative colitis （UC） were studied. MethodIn the modeling stage， rats were randomly divided into normal group， spleen deficiency with dampness retention-UC （SDDR-UC） and pure-UC （P-UC） model group. In the administration stage， SLBZS was given to the above two different model groups. After modeling and administration， rat plasma was collected and determined by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS. The mobile phase was 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution （A）-acetonitrile （B） for gradient elution （in positive ion mode：0-2 min， 99%A； 2-9 min， 99%-73%A； 9-10 min， 73%-44%A； 10-13 min， 44%-38%A； 13-19 min， 38%-28%A； 19-21 min， 28%-2%A； 21-23 min， 2%A； 23-25 min， 2%-10%A； 25-27 min， 10%-99%A； in negative ion mode：0-2 min， 85%A； 2-3 min， 85%-65%A； 3-5.5 min， 65%-44%A； 5.5-8 min， 44%-25%A； 8-10 min， 25%-2%A； 10-16 min， 2%-85%A）. The electrospray ionization （ESI） temperature was 120 ℃ under the positive and negative ion modes， and the acquisition range was 50-1 000. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis （PLS-DA） was used to analyze the changes of endogenous metabolites in the above two different model rats from the different stage. MetaboAnalyst 5.0 was used to analyze the metabolic pathways of these identified metabolites. ResultSixteen potential biomarkers were screened and identified in the modeling stage， among which 11 potential biomarkers were common in the two model rats， which mainly affected the primary bile acid biosynthesis pathway. Twenty-three potential biomarkers were screened and identified during the administration stage， among which 3 potential biomarkers were shared by the two model rats， and SDDR-UC and P-UC model rats had 11 and 9 potential biomarkers， respectively. It mainly affected 6 pathways such as purine metabolism， pentose phosphate pathway， pyrimidine metabolism， retinol metabolism， primary bile acid biosynthesis and steroid hormone synthesis. ConclusionThe primary bile acid biosynthesis pathway appears in the different stage of modeling and administration of UC， showing a dynamic change process. The therapeutic effect of SLBZS on SDDR-UC rats may be related to inhibiting the expression of nuclear transcription factor -κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway， activating farnesoid X receptor （FXR） and enhancing the expression of cytochrome P450.

MethodAn Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-C18 column （3.0 mm×100 mm， 2.7 μm） was used with 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution （A）-acetonitrile （B） as the mobile phase for gradient elution （0-26 min，2%-18%B； 26-60 min， 18%-72%B； 60-70 min， 72%-100%B； 70-71 min， 100%-2%B； 71-72 min， 2%B）， and the flow rate of 0.4 mL·min-1 and injection volume of 3 μL. The electrospray ionization （ESI） was used in positive and negative modes， and detection range was m/z 50-1 100. The collected data were processed by Agilent MassHunter workstation. According to the retention time and MS information of each compound， combined with existing literature and MS database information， the compounds were identified and analyzed for the fragmentation rule. ResultA total of 52， 55 components were identified in the positive and negative ion modes， respectively. Among them， 14 flavonoids， 3 triterpenoids， 15 organic acids and 20 other compounds were identified under positive ion mode， while 18 flavonoids， 9 triterpenoids， 18 organic acids and 10 other compounds were identified under the negative ion mode.

Association of polymorphisms of -139 and -336 nucleotides in DC-SIGN promoter region with HIV infection / 中华临床感染病杂志

Objective To investigate the polymorphisms of-139 and -336 nucleotides in dendritic cells specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) promoter region in context of HIV susceptibility, infection routines and HIV/AIDS progress. Methods Polymorphisms of -139 and -336 nucleotides in DC-SIGN were examined in 160 HIV-positive subjects and 178 healthy controls;the Spearman test was performed to analyze their associations with HIV infection status. Results In 160 HIV-positive subjects, there were 92 (57.5%) with-139C, 68 (42.5%) with-139T, 29 (18.1%) with-336C and 131 (81.9%) with -336T. The frequencies of -139T/C and -336T/C in HIV-positive subjects were similar to those in the healthy controls (χ2 =0. 121 and 1. 754, P ＞0.05 ). No differences were found in the distribution of -139T/C or -336T/C in HIV-positive subjects infected via sex intercourse or intravenous drug (χ2 =0. 435 and 0. 103, P ＞ 0. 05 ). -139C was usually companied with -336C ( r = 0. 359, P ＜ 0.01 ).-139T (27.9%) were more frequently presented in patients with CD4 +T cells ≤50 cells/μL than -139C( 23.0%, χ2 = 4.055, P ＜ 0.05 ). -139T/C and -336T/C were not related to HIV RNA levels ( t = - 0. 643and - 1. 637, P ＞ 0.05). Conclusions Genotype -139C in DC-SIGN promoter region usually coexist with -336C. Polymorphisms of -139 and -336 are not related to HIV susceptibilities or HIV infection routes.-139T genotype may be related to serious depletion on CD4 + T cells.

Objective To study the application of viral load for differentiating diagnosis of early HIV infection. Methods Thirteen indeterminate specimens, which showed early HIV infection of antibody detection, were selected. Viral load of the specimens were detected. People with suspicious infection were followed up and certified infection status through EIA and Western blot. Results Twelve of 13 indeterminate specimens which indicated early HIV infection, had positive viral loads. One antibody-positive infant was confirmed to have been infected by HIV and 11 recent infected (window period) persons were certified during the follow-up. One antibody-positive infant had negative viral load and was certified noninfected per-son during the follow-up. Viral load testing results accorded with HIV infection status. Conclusion Viral load testing can be used to diagnose HIV early infection, including antibody-positive infants (within 18 months) and recent infected persons. Viral load testing could be diagnostic in determinate specimens during early HIV infection.
