ABSTRACT

The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) protein family is a cluster of highly conserved molecules that play an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Hsp90 and its co-chaperones regulate a variety of pathways and cellular functions, such as cell growth, cell cycle control and apoptosis. Hsp90 is closely associated with the occurrence and development of tumors and other diseases, making it an attractive target for cancer therapeutics. Inhibition of Hsp90 expression can affect multiple oncogenic pathways simultaneously. Most Hsp90 small molecule inhibitors are in clinical trials due to their low efficacy, toxicity or drug resistance, but they have obvious synergistic anti-tumor effect when used with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, tubulin inhibitors or topoisomerase II (Topo II) inhibitors. To address this issue, the design of Hsp90 dual-target inhibitors can improve efficacy and reduce drug resistance, making it an effective tumor treatment strategy. In this paper, the domain and biological function of Hsp90 are briefly introduced, and the design, discovery and structure-activity relationship of Hsp90 dual inhibitors are discussed, in order to provide reference for the discovery of novel Hsp90 dual inhibitors and clinical drug research from the perspective of medicinal chemistry.

ABSTRACT

The present study was aimed to investigate whether Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptosis participated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI), and to explore the role of caspase-1 and caspase-11 pyroptosis pathways in this process. The mice were divided into four groups: wild type (WT), WT-LPS, GSDMD knockout (KO) and KO-LPS. The sepsis-associated AKI was induced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS (40 mg/kg). Blood samples were taken to determine the concentration of creatinine and urea nitrogen. The pathological changes of renal tissue were observed via HE staining. Western blot was used to investigate the expression of pyroptosis-associated proteins. The results showed that the concentrations of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen in the WT-LPS group were significantly increased, compared with those in the WT group (P < 0.01); whereas serum creatinine and urea nitrogen in the KO-LPS group were significantly decreased, compared with those in the WT-LPS group (P < 0.01). HE staining results showed that LPS-induced renal tubular dilatation was mitigated in GSDMD KO mice. Western blot results showed that LPS up-regulated the protein expression levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), GSDMD and GSDMD-N in WT mice. GSDMD KO significantly down-regulated the protein levels of IL-1β, caspase-11, pro-caspase-1, caspase-1(p22) induced by LPS. These results suggest that GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis is involved in LPS-induced sepsis-associated AKI. Caspase-1 and caspase-11 may be involved in GSDMD cleavage.

ABSTRACT

@#Abstract: Objective To explore the threshold of ALT for initiating antiviral therapy in HBV infected patients, and to provide a basis for initiating antiviral therapy in chronic HBV-infected patients. Methods This retrospective cohort study recruited 707 consecutive treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients undergoing diagnostic liver biopsy in the department of infectious diseases of the Affiliated Hospital of Yan′an University from October 2013 to August 2018. Liver biopsy specimens were obtained under ultrasound guidance using Menghini 16G disposable needles. The METAVIR scoring system, which is commonly used internationally, was used to divide the patients into the group with mild liver tissue injury and the group with significant liver tissue injury, and the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were measured separately. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Mann-Whitney U test were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of ALT for significant liver tissue injury under different demographic characteristics. Results Of 707 patients, 292 (41.30%) had significant liver tissue injury confirmed by liver biopsy (METAVIR ≥A2 and/or F2). When the ULN of ALT was set to NICE criteria (30 U/L for males, 19 U/L for females), AASLD criteria (35 U/L for males, 25 U/L for females) and EASL or APASL criteria (40 U/L for males and females), CHB patients with <ULN accounted for 32.38%, 35.03% and 36.07% of significant liver tissue injury, respectively. And significant liver tissue injury in CHB patients with 1-2×ULN accounted for 41.99%, 41.85% and 50.30%, respectively. The optimal ALT critical values were 33 U/L for overall patients, 25 U/L for females, 45 U/L for males, 45 U/L for ≤30 years olds, 33 U/L for>30 years olds, 22 U/L for HBeAg negative and 31 U/L for HBeAg positive patients. Conclusions The threshold of ALT for initiating antiviral therapy in chronic HBV patients should be individualized, especially should be down-regulated for the females, olders and HBeAg-negative patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the association between the frequency of using smoking cessation application (APP) and the effect of smoking cessation in smoking cessation clinic.Methods:A clinical trial with a non-randomized controlled design was conducted in the smoking cessation clinic of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from July 2019 to June 2021. Participants were given a comprehensive smoking cessation intervention of mobile APP combined with bupropion. The primary outcome measures were carbon monoxide validated sustained abstinence at 9-12 weeks.Results:A total of 187 participants were included in the final analysis. After 12-week intervention, the sustained abstinence at 9-12 weeks was 42.2%. For the frequency of APP use, 20.9% (39/187) of the participants used it≥6 days per week, 62.0% (116/187) used it 2-5 days per week, and 17.1% (32/187) used it≤1 day per week. Multivariate analysis showed that smoking cessation rate was associated with smoking duration, cigarettes smoked per day and frequency of APP use. Participants with higher frequency of APP use had a higher likelihood of quitting smoking ( OR=4.95, 95% CI: 1.32-18.63). Conclusion:The increased frequency of mobile smoking cessation APP use is associated with higher probability of quitting smoking in smoking cessation clinic.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of different doses of compound sodium chloride injection combined with norepinephrine on prevention of hypotension after lumbar anesthesia in the patients undergoing caesarean section.Methods:A total of 150 patients with a singleton fetus, aged 18-45 yr, at ≥37 weeks of gestation, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, with height ≥150 cm, weighing ≤100 kg, with body mass index < 40 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective caesarean section under lumbar anesthesia, were divided into 3 groups ( n=50 each) by the random number table method: compound sodium chloride injection 4, 8 and 12 ml·kg -1·h -1 groups (group A, group B, group C). Compound sodium chloride injection 4 ml/kg was intravenously injected for liquid preload before lumbar anesthesia, and 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 12.5 mg was injected to the subarachnoid space for lumbar anesthesia. Norepinephrine was intravenously injected at a dose of 6 μg immediately after intrathecal injection, followed by an infusion of 0.05 μg·kg -1·min -1, and infusion was stopped at 5 min after delivery. Compound sodium chloride injection was intravenously infused simultaneously at a rate of 4, 8 and 12 ml·kg -1·h -1 in A, B and C groups, respectively. The maximum diameter of inferior vena cava (IVCmax) and the minimum diameter of inferior vena cava (IVCmin) were measured by ultrasound, and inferior vena cava collapse index (IVC-CI) was calculated at 1 min before fluid preload (T 1), immediately after fluid preload (T 2), at 5 min after anesthesia (T 3), at 5 min after fetal delivery (T 4) and immediately before leaving the operating room (T 5). The incidence of intraoperative adverse events (hypotension, severe hypotension, bradycardia, hypertension, nausea, and vomiting) and neonatal outcomes (umbilical artery blood gas index and Apgar score at 1 and 5 min after birth) were recorded. Results:Compared with group A, IVCmin was significantly increased and IVC-CI was decreased at T 5 in group B, and IVCmin and IVCmax were significantly increased and IVC-CI was decreased at T 5 in group C ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in IVCmax, IVCmin and IVC-CI at each time point between group B and group C ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of hypotension, severe hypotension, bradycardia, hypertension, nausea and vomiting among the three groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the results of blood gas analysis of the umbilical artery and Apgar score at each time point after birth among the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compound sodium chloride injection 4, 8 and 12 ml·kg -1·h -1 combined with norepinephrine can effectively prevent the occurrence of hypotension after lumbar anesthesia in the patients undergoing caesarean section without increasing maternal and infant adverse events, and the effect of 8 and 12 ml·kg -1·h -1 for volume supplementation is better than that of 4 ml·kg -1·h -1.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the relationship between vitamin D status and diet, vitamin D and calcium supplements, and physical activity in children during the first five years of life.Methods:This was a large population-based cross-sectional multicenter study. Children aged 0-5 years were recruited from Children's Health Care Centers through stratified cluster random sampling in 10 cities in Jiangsu Province from April, 2014 to March, 2015. The food frequency method and the physical activity questionnaire were used to investigate the diet and physical activity respectively, and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-[OH]D) was detected via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results:A total of 5,289 children were investigated. Factors significantly associated with increased risk of vitamin D deficiency in children included milk consumption < 250 ml/d (odds ratio [OR] = 1.24), meat consumption > 150.0 g/d (OR = 1.46), preferences for meats (OR = 1.34), preferences for sweets (OR = 1.27), no vitamin D supplementation in the last 3 months (OR = 1.47), no calcium supplementation in the last 3 months (OR = 1.39), dose of vitamin D supplementation < 400 IU/d (OR = 1.19), time of sleeping < 10 h/d (OR = 1.38), and time of outdoor activity < 2 h/d (OR = 1.20). Children with these factors showed significantly lower 25-(OH)D levels by 4.43 nmol/L, 9.33 nmol/L, 7.10 nmol/L, 5.21 nmol/L, 8.76 nmol/L, 7.18 nmol/L, 5.40 nmol/L, 5.35 nmol/L, and 3.24 nmol/L respectively. The 25-(OH)D levels in children with breast feeding and preferences for vegetables were significantly lower by 2.46 nmol/L and 5.29 nmol/L, respectively. The 25-(OH)D levels in children with eggs consumption < 60.0 g/d and ≥ 60.0 g were 63.0 nmol/L and 69.0 nmol/L, respectively, showing statistically significant difference ( P = 0.026). Conclusions:Lower intake of milk and eggs, higher intake of meat, sweet foods, breast feeding, no vitamin D and calcium supplements, and less sleep and outdoor activity were associated with lower vitamin D levels in children during the first five years of life. This is an early study focused on the relationship between diet and vitamin D in children during the first five years of life.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and long-term effect of functional electrical stimulation (FES) on cerebral palsy. Methods:Literature retrieval was carried out in the electronic databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China Biology Medicine Disc (CBM), CNKI, Wanfang Database and VIP. The time limit was from the establishment of these databases to March 26th, 2020. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, randomized controlled trials about FES for children with cerebral palsy were included. At least two evaluators extracted the data independently and used Cochrane 5.1.0 bias risk assessment tool to evaluate the quality of included studies. The data was analyzed with Review Manager 5.3 software. Results:A total of eleven studies with 513 children were included. The Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) D/E scores (MD = 8.14, 95%CI 6.26 to 10.02, P < 0.001), GMFM-88 B score (MD = 8.77, 95%CI 4.00 to 13.53, P < 0.001), modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score (MD = -1.05, 95%CI -1.25 to -0.84, P < 0.001), Kyphosis angle (MD = -10.67, 95%CI -12.21 to -9.13, P < 0.001), Cobb's angle (MD = -2.66, 95%CI -3.38 to -1.93, P < 0.001), step length (MD = 3.35, 95%CI 1.81 to 4.90, P < 0.001), walking speed (MD = 0.09, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.14, P < 0.001) and GMFM score at six weeks follow-up (MD = 4.84, 95%CI 1.90 to 7.77, P = 0.001) were better in FES group than in the control group. There was no significant difference in MAS score between two groups after six weeks of follow-up (MD = 0.04, 95%CI -0.30 to 0.37, P = 0.84). Conclusion:FES could improve the lower-limb and trunk function of children with cerebral palsy, however, the long-term effect of relieving muscle spasm was not significant.

ABSTRACT

Depression is a threat to human health due to high incidence, recurrence, and disability rates. At present, the complex etiology and pathogenesis of depression are still unclear, and such hypotheses as monoamine neurotransmitters and their receptor abnormality, hyperactivity of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, inflammation, and neuron damage and remodeling have been put forward. Anti-depressants developed based on the pathogenesis have a certain effect, but there also exist some problems like low cure rate, poor compliance, relapse after discontinuation, and obvious side effects. According to Zhongjing's theory, depression falls into the categories of depression syndrome, visceral agitation, insomnia, and lily disease, and it is mainly located in the liver, involving the spleen, heart, and kidney. The pathogenesis mainly lies in qi stagnation and zang-fu organ dysfunction. Attention should be focused on regulating qi and relieving depression. Zhongjing's antidepressant prescriptions have exhibited good clinical efficacy in the treatment of depression, reflecting the multi-pathway action advantages of Chinese herbs. Based on the pathogenesis of depression and domestic and foreign literature on the intervention of depression with Zhongjing's prescriptions available in the past 20 years, this paper summarized the mechanisms of Zhongjing's prescriptions against depression from the experimental and clinical research aspects, in order to provide reference for clinical treatment of depression with Zhongjing's prescriptions.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the compatibility of Panlongqi tablets in the treatment of osteoarthritis. Method:Network pharmacology was used to predict and screen the targets and pathways related to osteoarthritis of 59 compounds in Panlongqi tablets including activating blood circulation and removing stasis group(ACRG),expelling wind-damp group(EWDG)and tonifying liver and kidney group(TLKG). Through data integration analysis, the characteristics and compatibility rules of this prescription in preventing and treating osteoarthritis were analyzed. Result:The 59 compounds can act on 70 osteoarthritis(OA) related targets, mainly involving inflammatory stimulation response, cell proliferation, cell metabolism, immune regulation and other related processes. Pathway enrichment analysis involved inflammatory response, cartilage degeneration, immune regulation, bone metabolism and other related pathways. Conclusion:The three drugs play different regulatory roles in the pathogenesis of OA, such as inflammation, chondrocyte apoptosis and metabolism, extracellular matrix degradation, and bone metabolism. Among them, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis were mainly related to anti-inflammatory and analgesia, the wind-dampening group was mainly involved in regulating immunity and inflammation, and the liver-kidney group was more related to bone metabolism and chondrocyte apoptosis.

ABSTRACT

As a traditional Chinese medicinal material, Chrysosplenium is urgently needed for genetic resource investigation and protection research due to the decrease of its wild resources in recent years. After investigating the wild resources, we conducted genetic polymorphism and clustering studies of 24 species(a total of 36 samples) of Chrysosplenium using SRAP technique. The results showed that a total of 374 polymorphic bands were obtained using 18 pairs of SRAP primers to amplify these samples, on average of 20.7 bands for each primer pair. We used the biological software to analyze the population's genetic parameter and got the N_a value as 2.000 0, N_(e )value as 1.408 4, the average Nei's index as 0.263 5, and the average Shannon information index as 0.419 1. UPGMA cluster analysis showed that all the samples can be divided into three major groups at the genetic similarity coefficient of 0.70: there are 18 species(24 samples) gathered for the Ⅰ groups, 3 species or variation(7 samples) for Ⅱ groups, and 3 species(5 samples) for Ⅲ groups. The differences of these Chrysosplenium species at the molecular level are consistent with that of their geographical and ecological distribution. At the same time, we used SRAP technology to construct 36 DNA digital fingerprints of Chrysosplenium and obtained the unique molecular identification band type of each material. These results will provide effective methods and reliable basis for the identification, protection and genetic diversity analysis of the germplasm resources of Chrysosplenium, and lay a foundation for the further development and utilization of them.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To retrospectively analyze the identification results of irregular antibodies, to clarify the distribution features and to explore the relation of alloantibodies and autoantibodies with the immunized history of patients and disease kinds.@*METHODS@#49 820 patients who applied for red blood transfusion during Sep 1st 2017 to Sep 1st 2018 were selected. All the specimens were screened for the antibody by microcolumn gel antiglobulin technique, which then were identified for irregular antibody.@*RESULTS@#Antibodies were found in 861 (1.73%) of all 49 820 transfused samples. The alloimmunization history of the patients with antibodies was significantly different between male and female (χ=18.54,P<0.01). The alloantibody was the most common, accounting for 59.50% in all of the antibodies. Warm autoantibody, anti-E, anti-M, anti-cE and anti-Ce accounted for 68.5% of the antibodies. The blood group of Rh, MNS and Lewis were responsible for 92.40% of alloantibody, especially anti-E accounted for the largest percentage(38.60%) of alloantibody. Patients with alloantiboies experienced much more the alloimmunization and transfusion history (χ=20.13,P<0.01;χ=5.40,P<0.05) . The distribution of auto and alloantibody was very significantly different among the ddifferent isease (χ=51.8,P<0.01), Hematopathy, solid tumor and osteoarthropathy were often associated with alloantibody, otherwise, autoantibodies often occurred in hematopathy and autoimmune disease.@*CONCLUSION@#The most important factor that results in antibody-screening positive is alloantibody, in which anti-E antibody from Rh blood group system in most common.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether thawing rate could be a novel predictor of acute pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and explore the predictive value of thawing rate as a factor ensuring long-term PVI (vagus reflex). METHODS: A total of 151 patients who underwent cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) were enrolled in this retrospective study between January 2017 and June 2018. The thawing rate was calculated using the thawing phase of the cryoablation curve. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of the thawing rate for acute PVI and vagus reflex. RESULTS: ROC curve analyses revealed that the interval thawing rate at 15°C (ITR15) was the most valuable predictor of PVI, with the highest area under curve (AUC) value of the ROC curve. The best cut-off value of ITR15 for PVI was ≤2.14°C/S and its sensitivity and specificity were 88.62% and 67.18%, respectively. In addition, the ITR15 of the successful PVI group after cryoballoon ablation was significantly slower than the failed PVI group. ITR15 was a predictor of vagus reflex and the occurrence of vagus reflex group had a slower ITR15 compared to the non-occurrence group. CONCLUSIONS: Thawing rate was a novel predictor of acute PVI and the ITR15 was the most valuable predictor of acute PVI. In addition, ITR15 was a predictive factor ensuring long-term PVI (vagus reflex). Our study showed that thawing rate may serve in the early identification of useless cryoballoon ablation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To study the value of serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) combined with direct bilirubin (DB) in the diagnosis of biliary atresia.@*METHODS@#A total of 667 infants with cholestasis who were hospitalized and treated from July 2010 to December 2018 were enrolled as subjects. According to the results of intraoperative cholangiography and follow-up, they were divided into biliary atresia group with 234 infants and cholestasis group with 433 infants. The two groups were compared in terms of age of onset, sex, and serum levels of total bilirubin (TB), DB, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bile acid (TBA), and GGT. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed for indices with statistical significance, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) and the optimal cut-off value for diagnosis were calculated.@*RESULTS@#The biliary atresia group had a significantly younger age of onset than the cholestasis group (P0.05), while the biliary atresia group had significantly higher serum levels of TB, DB, TBA, and GGT than the cholestasis group (P<0.05). GGT combined with DB had the highest AUC of 0.892 (95% confidence interval: 0.868-0.916) in the diagnosis of biliary atresia. At the optimal cut-off values of 324.0 U/L for GGT and 115.1 μmmol/L for DB, GGT combined with DB had a sensitivity of 79.8% and a specificity of 83.2% in the diagnosis of biliary atresia.@*CONCLUSIONS@#GGT combined with DB has high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of biliary atresia and can be used as an effective indicator for diagnosis of biliary atresia in infants.

ABSTRACT

To analyse the quality of three processed products of Rhizome of Curcuma wenyujin by establishing an ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method for simultaneously determining five sesquiterpene components in three processed products of rhizome of C. wenyujin and establishing UPLC fingerprints. Component determination was achieved on Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH C₁₈ column(2.1 mm×50 mm, 1.7 μm), with acetonitrile-water as mobile phase for gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.3 mL·min⁻¹; column temperature was 30 °C; the detection wavelength was set at 214 nm and injection volume was 1 μL. The similarity was analyzed with "Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of Chinese Materia Medica (2012.130723)", and hydrophobic cluster analysis (HCA), principal components analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were conducted by using simca-p14.1 software to investigate the differences in components among these three kinds of processed products. The curzerene, curdione, curcumol, germacrone, furanodiene and β-elemene showed good linearity relationship with chromatographic peak area within the ranges of 10.8-320(=0.999 9), 10.36-259(=0.998 1), 10.54-263.5(=0.999 3), 30.2-755(=0.999 6)and 34.38-862(=0.999 9)mg·L⁻¹, respectively; their average recoveries were 98.75%, 98.69%, 98.63%, 99.76% and 99.57% respectively, with RSD of 2.67%, 1.47%, 1.29%, 2.54% and 0.87% respectively. The similarity of 30 batches of samples was larger than 0.9, indicating good consistency of the samples. The samples can be clearly classified into three categories for HCA, PCA and OPLS-DA pattern recognition, the differential chromatographic peak among three processed products was found respectively. The results showed that the pharmacology basis had changed obviously after processing of Rhizome of C. wenyujin, so it can provide the scientific basis for rational clinical application and establishing quality standards of three processed products of Rhizome of curcuma wenyujin.
