ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Periprosthetic osteolysis is the most common long-term complication of total joint arthroplasty.Many studies suggest that the inflammasome may play an important role during the osteolysis.Melatonin is a rhythm-regulated hormone secreted by the pineal gland with many functions including anti-inflammatory,anti-oxidation,and antitumor,but its effects on osteolysis and inflammasome have yet to be explored. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of melatonin on the osteolysis induced by wear particles and the role of melatonin on the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. METHODS:(1)In vivo test:Fifteen C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into sham operation group,osteolysis group and melatonin group by random number table method,with 5 mice in each group.The osteolysis model of the osteolysis group and the melatonin group was established by injecting cobalt-chromium-molybdenum(CoCrMo)particles into the sagittal suture of the skull.After injection,the melatonin group was intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg/(kg·d)of melatonin for 14 consecutive days.After drug intervention,the mouse calvarium was collected for micro-CT analysis to observe the micro-structural changes around the sagittal suture.(2)In vitro test:Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages and THP-1 cells(which had been induced to differentiate into macrophages)were taken and divided into seven groups:normal group,lipopolysaccharide group,lipopolysaccharide+CoCrMo group and melatonin 0.5,1,1.5,2 mmol/L groups(lipopolysaccharide and CoCrMo were added to the melatonin intervention groups).After the intervention for 6 hours,the expression of related proteins(NLRP3,Caspase-1,interleukin-1β,and gasdermin D,gasdermin D-N terminal)in the inflammasome of cell lysate or cell culture supernatant was detected by western blot assay.Cytotoxicity and cell death were observed through lactate dehydrogenase release and live-dead fluorescence staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In vivo test:Micro-CT scanning 3D reconstruction images showed that the bone mass around the sagittal suture of the skull of mice in the osteolysis group was significantly reduced,and the bone tissue structure was severely damaged.Compared with the osteolysis group,the bone mass around the sagittal suture of the skull in the melatonin group was significantly increased,and the destruction of tissue structure was reduced.(2)In vitro test:For mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages,lipopolysaccharide significantly up-regulated NLRP3 protein expression in cell lysate,and melatonin intervention could reduce NLRP3 protein expression in a dose-dependent manner.CoCrMo particles significantly up-regulated the protein expressions of the gasdermin D-N terminal in cell lysate and Caspase-1 and interleukin-1β in the supernatant of cell culture,while melatonin intervention could reduce the expression of these proteins in a dose-dependent manner.For THP-1 cells,the protein expressions of Caspase-1 and interleukin-1β in the supernatant of cell culture were significantly up-regulated by CoCrMo particles,and the expression of these proteins was decreased dose-dependent by melatonin intervention.Lactate dehydrogenase release and live-dead fluorescence staining showed that CoCrMo particles significantly increased the release of lactate dehydrogenase and cell death in the supernatant of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophage culture,and melatonin intervention could reduce the release of lactate dehydrogenase and cell death.(3)The results show that melatonin can inhibit particle-induced inflammasome activation and pyroptosis to suppress periprosthetic osteolysis.

ABSTRACT
Lipotoxicity is a pivotal factor that initiates and exacerbates liver injury and is involved in the development of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). However, there are few reported lipotoxicity inhibitors. Here, we identified a natural anti-lipotoxicity candidate, HN-001, from the marine fungus Aspergillus sp. C1. HN-001 dose- and time- dependently reversed palmitic acid (PA)-induced hepatocyte death. This protection was associated with IRE-1α-mediated XBP-1 splicing inhibition, which resulted in suppression of XBP-1s nuclear translocation and transcriptional regulation. Knockdown of XBP-1s attenuated lipotoxicity, but no additional ameliorative effect of HN-001 on lipotoxicity was observed in XBP-1s knockdown hepatocytes. Notably, the ER stress and lipotoxicity amelioration was associated with PLA2. Both HN-001 and the PLA2 inhibitor MAFP inhibited PLA2 activity, reduced lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) level, subsequently ameliorated lipotoxicity. In contrast, overexpression of PLA2 caused exacerbation of lipotoxicity and weakened the anti-lipotoxic effects of HN-001. Additionally, HN-001 treatment suppressed the downstream pro-apoptotic JNK pathway. In vivo, chronic administration of HN-001 (i.p.) in mice alleviated all manifestations of MAFLD, including hepatic steatosis, liver injury, inflammation, and fibrogenesis. These effects were correlated with PLA2/IRE-1α/XBP-1s axis and JNK signaling suppression. These data indicate that HN-001 has therapeutic potential for MAFLD because it suppresses lipotoxicity, and provide a natural structural basis for developing anti-MAFLD candidates.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expressions of serum trans thyroxine protein (TTR) , retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) and metabolic syndrome of pregnancy (GMS) .Methods:A total of 103 patients with GMS from May. 2017 to Dec. 2019 were selected as the observation group, in addition, 100 healthy pregnant women with single pregnancy and no complications were selected as control group. Before pregnancy, the height and weight were detected. After the diagnosis of GMS, serum markers and blood pressure were detected. The levels of total cholesterol (TC) , triglyceride (TG) , low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) , high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were detected by Hitachi 7600 automatic biochemical analyzer, and the expression levels of TTR and RBP4 in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of TTR and RBP4 in GMS. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of GMS in pregnant women.Results:There was no significant difference in age or gestational weeks between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Compared with those in the control group, the levels of BMI, TC, TG, LDL-C, FBG, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, serum TTR and RBP4 expression levels were higher in the observation group before pregnancy ( P<0.05) , while HDL-C was lower ( P<0.05) . The area under the curve (AUC) of TTR and RBP4 alone or combination in the diagnosis of GMS was 0.797, 0.816 and 0.898, respectively. The cut-off value of TTR was 284.91 mg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 63.10% and 89.00%, respectively. The cut-off value of RBP4 was 17.89 mg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 69.90% and 87.00%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the combined diagnosis were 83.50% and 84.00% respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that high level of TTR and high level of RBP4 were independent risk factors of GMS in pregnant women ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The expression levels of serum TTR and RBP4 in GMS patients are high, and they have certain diagnostic value for GMS. They are independent risk factors of GMS in pregnant women, which may provide new ideas for the early diagnosis and prevention of GMS.
ABSTRACT
Paridis Rhizoma, a traditional valuable Chinese herbal medicine, has the functions of clearing heat and removing toxin, relieving edema and pain, cooling liver and calming convulsion, which can be used to treat various diseases such as mumps, abscess, burn, bleeding, and tumor. It has been used in folk medicine for a long time and is the main raw material of various Chinese patent medicines such as Gongxuening Capsules and Yunnan Baiyao. Polyphyllin Ⅰ, an isospirostanol saponin and one of the main active components in Paridis Rhizoma, is distributed in the rhizome, pericarp, and leaves of Paris polyphylla. With high polarity, polyphyllin Ⅰ is mainly extracted by n-butanol extraction and macroporous adsorption resin chromatography, separated by silica gel column chromatography and preparative high performance liquid chromatography, and purified with the combination of methods. With anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-virus effects, it is generally employed to treat liver cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer and other cancers as well as arthritis, influenza, sore toxin, and bacterial infection. However, polyphyllin Ⅰ may cause stomach irritation, hemolysis, liver damage, kidney damage, heart damage, and other adverse reactions. Pharmacokinetic studies show that it has problems such as low bioavailability and poor intestinal absorption and permeability, which affect the clinical application of polyphyllin Ⅰ. This paper summarizes the research on the plant sources, extraction and separation methods, pharmacological effects, adverse reactions, and pharmacokinetics of polyphyllin Ⅰ in recent years, which is expected to provide a reference for the rational clinical application and other in-depth research work of polyphyllin Ⅰ.
ABSTRACT
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) refers to the sudden and unexplained sensorineural hearing loss within 72 h and a decrease in hearing of ≥30 dB affecting at least 3 consecutive frequencies. It is one of the common emergencies in neurology and otolaryngology. Early etiological evaluation and systematic and targeted treatment are very important for delaying the progression of SSNHL and restoring hearing. Recent studies have shown that SSNHL overlaps with vascular risk factors of ischemic stroke, and may predict the risk of ischemic stroke. SSNHL may be one of the clinical manifestation and even the prodromal symptoms of ischemic stroke, especially the infarction of the blood supply area of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery or its branch internal auditory artery. Although these factors can not fully reveal the relationship between SSNHL and ischemic stroke, they are enough to warn clinicians that they should consider the possibility of ischemic stroke when receiving patients with SSNHL. Screening of vascular risk factors for patients with SSNHL as early as possible is helpful to avoid the risk of recurrence of ischemic stroke.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of combining electrical stimulation with manual massage in treating women′s myofascial pelvic pain (MPPS).Methods:A total of 93 MPPS patients were recruited and randomly divided into an infrared irradiation group ( n=30), an electrical stimulation group ( n=31) and a combination group ( n=32). Those in the infrared group and the electrical stimulation group were given 30 minutes of infrared irradiation or electrical stimulation daily for 10 days, while the combined group was given a manual massage with electrical stimulation. The response to treatment was evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS) to rate discomfort, plus a physical examination, and surface electromyography results using Glazer′s protocol. The treatments′ efficacy and the recurrence of pain were evaluated 1 month after the treatment. Results:The average VAS ratings, resting potentials and their variability of the three groups all improved significantly after the treatment. The average VAS scores of the combined and electrical stimulation groups after the treatment were significantly lower than that of the infrared group. Moreover, the total effective rates of the combined group (96.87%) and the electrical stimulation group (80.65%) were significantly higher than that of the infrared group (56.67%), and the resting potential and variability of the former two groups were also significantly better. All of the above measurements among the combined group after the treatment were significantly better, on average, than in the electrical stimulation group. A month later the recurrence rate in the combined group (6.25%) was significantly lower than in the electrical stimulation group (25.81%) and the infrared group (56.67%).Conclusion:Electrical stimulation combined with manual massage is effective in relieving myofascial pelvic pain.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the risk factors of non-obstructive gastric retention before endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with biliopancreatic disease.Methods:The matched case-control study included 109 patients with non-obstructive gastric retention before ERCP as the case group, and 218 patients without gastric retention as the control group. The patients′ medical records including comorbidities, preoperative medication and laboratory indicators were compared between the two groups. Multivariate conditional logistic regression models were subsequently used to determine the risk factors for non-obstructive gastric retention before ERCP.Results:Logistic regression revealed that the jaundice ( OR=12.359, P<0.001), opiates use ( OR=3.009, P=0.001), somatostatin use ( OR=2.445, P=0.033), fasting hyperglycemia ( OR=1.513, P=0.045), hypokalemia ( OR=4.634, P=0.001) and hyponatremia ( OR=1.805, P=0.023) were independent risk factors for non-obstructive gastric retention before ERCP in patients with biliopancreatic disease. Conclusion:Except for gastrointestinal obstruction, jaundice, opiates use, somatostatin use, fasting hyperglycemia, hypokalemia and hyponatremia are all risk factors for gastric retention in patients with biliopancreatic disease. Comprehensive evaluation and early intervention for patients showing these risk factors are needed.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the optimal scan time of MRI using the imaging probe alphamethyl-L-tryptophan(α-MTrp)-superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) for localizing temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) foci.Methods α-MTrp-SPIONs were injected into rat models of TLE through the tail vein during the acute and chronic stages (72 h and 8 weeks after status epilepticus,respectively).MRI was performed before and 1,2,4,8,24 h after the injection in all animals,and the T2 values of the epileptogenic regions were measured.One-way repeated measures analysis of variance was used for data analysis.Results Compared with the T2 values before the injection of α-MTrp-SPIONs,the T2 signal of epileptogenic regions after the injection had a negative increased change.The T2 values before and 1,2,4,8,24 h after the injection in acute stage were 112.08±5.85,107.83±6.59,105.08±6.79,95.58±5.14,100.92± 5.81,105.17±6.31 respectively,and those in chronic stage were 112.08±7.53,107.75±7.10,102.75± 5.50,96.17±5.01,97.75±4.37,102.92±4.74.The T2 values after the injection were significantly different from those before the injection (both P<0.01).The T2 value at 4 h after the injection decreased mostly.Conclusions α-MTrp-SPIONs can precisely localize epileptogenic regions of TLE on MRI.The optimal scan time is 4 h after the injection.
ABSTRACT
β-xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37) is an important part of the xylanolytic enzymes system. In the present research, β-xylosidase gene Sxa derived from Selenomonas ruminantium was expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. According to the codon bias and rare codons of P. pastoris, mRNA secondary structure and GC content, Sxa gene was optimized. The optimized full-length gene mSxa was obtained by gene synthesis technique and the recombinant yeast expression vector pPIC9K-mSxa was constructed. After being digested by restriction enzyme BglⅡ, the mSxa gene was transformed into P. pastoris GS115. Then, phenotype and geneticin G418 resistance screening, and PCR were adopted to identify the positive transformants. Finally, the recombinant P. pastoris GS115-pPIC9K-mSxa was obtained. Based on enzymatic activity assay, a high-level expression clone was picked up and then the enzymatic characteristics of the recombinant β-xylosidase were studied. The results showed that the molecular weight of the mSxa expressed in P. pastoris G115 was about 66 kDa. The maximum activity was achieved 287.61 IU/mL at fermenter level. Enzymatic characterization showed the β-xylosidase was stable between 40 ℃ and 60 ℃, and pH between 5.0 and 7.0. The optimal reaction temperature and pH were 55 ℃ and 6.0, and preferentially degrading the β-xylose glycosidic bond. The enzymatic activity was activated by Mn²⁺ and Ca²⁺, and inhibited by Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Mg²⁺, EDTA and SDS. The study indicates that the modified β-xylosidase gene mSxa from Selenomonas ruminantium can express successfully with high activity in P. pastoris. The study lays a foundation for further industrial application of the β-xylosidase.
