Role of galectin-3 in the early brain injury of mice with subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated with the regulation of microglia polarization / 国际脑血管病杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of galectin-3 (gal-3) on microglia polarization after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).Methods:C57BL/6 male adult mice were used to induce SAH or sham operation models. Gal-3 siRNA or negative control siRNA was injected into the lateral ventricle 48 h before the model was induced. After 24 h of model preparation, the SAH score, neurological function score, brain water content, and Evans blue exudate were measured. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expressions of M1 phenotypic markers (inducible nitric oxide synthase [iNOS], CD11b, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α) and M2 phenotype markers (CD206, YM1/2, arginase-1 [Arg1]).Results:After using Gal-3 siRNA to inhibit Gal-3, the neurological function score significantly increased, while the SAH score, brain water content, and Evans blue exudate significantly decreased ( P<0.001). Western blot analysis showed that the expressions of M1 phenotypic markers (iNOS, CD11b and TNF-α) in microglia were significantly decreased after Gal-3 inhibition, while the expressions of M2 phenotypic markers (CD206, YM1/2 and Arg1) were significantly increased ( P<0.001). Conclusion:Inhibition of Gal-3 expression can alleviate the early brain injury after SAH, and its mechanism may be associated with regulating the polarization of microglia from M1 to M2 phenotype.

Correlation between iodine nutrition and thyroid function of pregnant women in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region / 中华地方病学杂志

Objective:Through the detection of iodine nutrition level and thyroid function of pregnant women in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang), to preliminary study the pregnant women's iodine nutrition level, thyroid function status and the relationship between the two and influencing factors.Methods:From March to June in 2020, stratified cluster random sampling method was adopted. Two counties (cities) in Southern and Northern Xinjiang were selected as survey sites, and about 100 pregnant women (a total of 412) were selected from each county (city) as survey subjects. Random urine samples and blood samples were collected to detect urinary iodine and serum thyroid function indicators [thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT 3), free thyroxine (FT 4), anti-thyroglobulin antibody (Tg-Ab) and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO-Ab)]. Results:The median and interquartile range [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of pregnant women's urinary iodine was 228.4 (143.15, 327.95) μg/L. Serum FT 3, FT 4 and TSH levels [ M ( Q1, Q3)] were 4.22 (3.92, 4.61), 13.79 (12.63, 15.26) pmol/L and 1.82 (1.26, 2.52) mU/L, respectively. The overall positive rates of Tg-Ab and TPO-Ab were 5.61% (23/412) and 11.95% (49/412), respectively. The positive rates of Tg-Ab and TPO-Ab in Southern and Northern Xinjiang were 4.78% (10/209), 10.05% (21/209), 6.40% (13/203) and 13.79% (28/203), respectively. The positive rates of Tg-Ab and TPO-Ab in Northern Xinjiang were higher than those in Southern Xinjiang, but the difference was not statistically significant (χ 2 = 1.31, 2.17, P > 0.05). The positive rate of TPO-Ab in pregnant women was the influencing factor of abnormal thyroid function, and the odds ratio ( OR) [95% confidence interval ( CI)] was 3.22 (1.31 - 7.93). Conclusions:Pregnant women in Xinjiang are generally at an appropriate level of iodine, but the state of thyroid function still needs continuous attention. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the thyroid function examination of pregnant women with positive thyroid autoantibodies to prevent and control the occurrence of abnormal thyroid function in pregnant women.

Progress in the study of iodine nutrition evaluation indicators during pregnancy / 中华地方病学杂志

Iodine, as the main raw material for the synthesis of thyroid hormones in the body, exhibits a U-shaped curve relationship with thyroid function. Both iodine deficiency and excess may cause thyroid dysfunction and damage human health. China was once one of the countries where iodine deficiency were widely prevalent in the world. Since the implementation of universal salt iodization in 1995, the iodine nutritional status in China has been greatly improved, and the goal of eliminating iodine deficiency disorders has been basically achieved. However, there is still a state of inadequate iodine nutrition among susceptible populations (pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and infants). Pregnancy is a special physiological stage for women, and in order to meet the iodine needs of themselves and their fetuses, the iodine requirement of pregnant women increases by about 50% compared to non-pregnant women. WHO/UNICEF/ICCIDD suggest using urinary iodine concentration (UIC) to evaluate iodine nutritional status during pregnancy, with UIC of 150 - < 250 μg/L is considered suitable for iodine nutrition, but the best method for evaluating iodine nutrition status during pregnancy is still controversial. With the improvement of socio-economic level and people's health awareness, especially during special stages such as pregnancy, people pay more attention to individual iodine status. Therefore, the investigation of reliable indicators for evaluating iodine nutrition during pregnancy has gained increasing significance.

Development dilemmas and countermeasures of the cross regional loose medical alliances in the Yangtze River Delta / 中华医院管理杂志

The cross regional loose medical alliance is an important carrier in the current integrated development process of medical services in the Yangtze River Delta region. Smith policy implementation process model was used to analyze the development difficulties of cross regional loose medical alliances from idealized policies, policy implementation institutions, policy target groups, and policy implementation environment. Such medical alliances were formed under the background of integrated development in the Yangtze River Delta, with Shanghai′s tertiary public hospitals as leading units and medical institutions in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces as member units. Analysis showed that the policies for such medical alliances development had not yet clearly defined the organizational management mode, operational mechanism, and implementation path, and the corporate governance structure of medical alliance was immature; The policy implementation agencies were relatively lagging behind in the support of special funds and the formulation of related supporting policies; Participation of policy target groups was insufficient and their incentive mechanisms was imperfect; There were problems in the policy implementation environment, namely inconsistent medical and health service regulations and systems in different regions, different health financing capabilities of local governments, insufficient coordination of medical institution management concepts, and a lack of unified standards in information systems. Based on the above difficulties, this study proposed to strengthen the development planning and layout of cross regional loose medical alliances, and improve the corporate governance structure; To strengthen the government′s main responsibility and improving policy implementation capabilities; To improve the internal cooperation and operation mechanism of cross regional loose medical alliances, and enhance the sense of identity of the target group; To optimize the policy implementation environment and implement various support measures, so as to provide references for further promoting the coordinated development of high-quality medical resources in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Research progress on effects of PM2.5 exposure during pregnancy on maternal and infant thyroid function / 环境与职业医学

Ambient air pollution has become a widespread global public health problem. As one of the main components of ambient air pollution, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), with its small diameter and large surface area, can carry a variety of toxic substances and enter the blood circulation directly through the blood-air barrier, damaging various tissues and organs of human body. Studies have shown that PM2.5 exposure during pregnancy can disrupt the mother's and child's thyroid function. Since the fetal thyroid gland does not begin to develop until around the sixth week of pregnancy, the fetal thyroid hormone is almost entirely dependent on the mother during early stages of pregnancy, and maternal thyroid hormone level play a crucial role in the growth and development of fetus. When a mother is exposed to PM2.5 during pregnancy, placenta, the "bridge" between mother and fetus, is also affected to some extent, including changes in placental iodine uptake and oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA methylation in placental tissue. Exposure to PM2.5 during pregnancy also alters maternal thyroid hormone level and normal placental function, which can have a detrimental effect on pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and neurological abnormalities. This paper reviewed the effects of PM2.5 exposure during different trimesters on maternal and infant thyroid function, placental function, and pregnancy outcomes, aiming to provide more accurate protection of maternal and fetal health.

Iodine nutritional status and thyroid function of pregnant women in the areas of oral lipiodol pills in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region / 中华地方病学杂志

Objective:To learn about the iodine nutritional status and thyroid function of pregnant women in the areas of oral lipiodol pills in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang).Methods:In October 2019, using the probability proportionate to size sampling (PPS sampling) method, Aksu Prefecture (Aksu) of Xinjiang was divided into 5 sampling areas according to the directions of east, west, south, north and middle. One county was selected from each area, one township was selected from each county according to the directions of east, west, south, north and middle, and 20 pregnant women were selected from each township. The general demographic data of pregnant women were collected by questionnaires, and 24-hour urine samples, household salt samples and drinking water samples were collected for iodine detection, and serum samples were collected for thyroid function index detection.Results:A total of 555 pregnant women were investigated, including 121, 234 and 200 women in the early, middle and late pregnancy, with an average age of 26 years. Among them, the median of urinary iodine of women in early, middle and late pregnancy was 209.53, 204.27 and 225.29 μg/L, respectively, which was all in the appropriate state. The median of salt iodine was 24.70, 26.00 and 26.20 mg/kg, respectively, and the median of water iodine was 4.85, 3.30 and 4.85 μg/L, respectively. There were no significant difference in urinary iodine, salt iodine and water iodine during different pregnancy ( H= 1.61, 4.38, 2.63, P > 0.05). The prevalence rate of subclinical hypothyroidism, subclinical hyperthyroidism and hyperthyroidism in pregnant women was 4.32% (24/555), 0.54% (3/555) and 0.36% (2/555), respectively; and the highest prevalence rate was in the middle pregnancy, which was 7.26% (17/234), 1.28% (3/234) and 0.85% (2/234), respectively. The positive rate of autospecific antibody in pregnant women with normal thyroid function was 13.15% (73/555). The positive rate of thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin (TgAb) was 11.35% (63/555), 8.11% (45/555), respectively. After excluding the pregnant women with positive thyroid autospecific antibody, the range ( P2.5- P97.5) of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in different pregnancy were close to or slightly higher than the recommended reference value in the "Guideline on Diagnosis and Management of Thyroid Diseases During Pregnancy and Postpartum (2nd ed)". Except that the P2.5 value of free thyroxine (FT 4) in early pregnancy was lower than the reference value, the FT 4 range in other pregnancy showed the same trend as that of TSH. The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that free triiodothyronine (FT 3) and FT 4, TPOAb and TgAb, TgAb and FT 4 were positively correlated ( r= 0.497, 0.504, 0.216, P < 0.05), and TSH and FT 3 was negatively correlated ( r = - 0.194, P < 0.05) in the early pregnancy; FT 3 and FT 4, TPOAb and TgAb were positively correlated in the middle and late pregnancy ( r = 0.188, 0.527, 0.177, 0.623, P < 0.05); TSH was negatively correlated with FT 3 in the late pregnancy ( r = - 0.165, P < 0.05); there was no correlation between urinary iodine and thyroid function indexes ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:The water iodine in the outer environment of the oral lipiodol pills area Aksu in Xinjiang is low, and the iodine nutrition level of pregnant women is appropriate. Except that the P2.5 value of FT 4 in the early pregnancy is lower than the reference value, the TSH range close to or of women during each pregnancy and the FT 4 range of women in the middle and late pregnancy are slightly higher than the reference value, which still need continuous monitoring.

Naringin alleviates early brain injury in rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Objective:To investigate the effects of naringin on early brain injury in rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage and its possible mechanism of action.Methods:Rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group, the model group, and the naringin group. Each group had 8 rats. The SAH model was established by intravascular perforation, and then rats in the model group and the naringin group were administered 0.9% NaCl or naringin 40 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection after 0.5 h. SAH score, neurological function score, cerebral edema, and blood-brain barrier permeability were detected. The level of NAD + and nflammatory factors were detected by ELISA. The expression of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), apoptosis inducing factor (AIF), and protease-activated receptor (PAR) proteins was detected by Western Blot. The expression of PARP-1 mRNA was detected by quantitative real-time fluorescence PCR (qRT-PCR). Neuronal apoptosis was detected by an immunofluorescence assay. Results:Compared with the model group, naringin treatment improved neurological function ( P<0.01), reduced cerebral edema and Evans blue exudation (all P<0.01), increased the content of NAD + ( P<0.001), reduced IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α levels (all P<0.001), and reduced the expression of PARP-1/AIF pathway-related proteins in vivo (all P<0.001). In addition, naringin could inhibit neuronal apoptosis in early brain injury after SAH. Conclusions:Naringin can improve the early brain injury after SAH, which may be achieved by inhibiting the PARP-1/AIF pathway.

Effect of oral iodized oil pills on thyroid function of pregnant women / 中华地方病学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the effect of oral iodized oil pills on iodine nutrition and thyroid function of pregnant women in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang).Methods:From May to July 2017, one county was selected from Ili Prefecture without taking iodized oil pills, Aksu Prefecture taking iodized oil pills once a year, and Kashgar Prefecture taking iodized oil pills twice a year in Xinjiang as survey sites, respectively; 100 pregnant women (evenly distributed in early, middle and late pregnancy) were selected from each survey county, the general data, urine and blood samples were collected, and urinary iodine and thyroid function indicators [free triiodothyronine (FT 3), free thyroxine (FT 4), thyrotropin (TSH), anti thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), and anti thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb)] were tested. Results:A total of 308 pregnant women were investigated, and 289 were finally included in the analysis, with an average age of 25 years; the body mass index (BMI) was (22.69 ± 3.07) kg/m 2. The occupation distribution was mainly farmer, accounting for 93.77% (271/289); most of them had junior high school education or below, accounting for 71.97% (208/289). The median urinary iodine of early, middle and late pregnant women in Kashgar Prefecture was 712.87, 604.50 and 656.23 μg/L, respectively, which were in iodine excess state. The iodine nutrition level of early pregnant women in Ili Prefecture and Aksu Prefecture was in iodine super suitability state, and the iodine nutrition level of middle and late pregnant women was in the iodine suitability state. The difference of median urinary iodine in early, middle and late pregnancy women between different regions was statistically significant ( Z = 53.02, 49.60, 44.66, P < 0.001). In addition, the urinary iodine of women in Kashgar Prefecture during each pregnancy period was significantly higher than that in Ili Prefecture and Aksu Prefecture ( P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the levels of FT 3 among women in early pregnancy, FT 4 and TSH among women in middle pregnancy between different regions ( F = 4.59, 10.92, Z = 8.61, P < 0.05 or < 0.001). Among them, the level of FT 3 in early pregnancy in Kashgar Prefecture was lower than that in Ili Prefecture ( P < 0.05); the level of FT 4 in Kashgar Prefecture during middle pregnancy was higher than that in Ili Prefecture, and the level of TSH was lower than that in Ili Prefecture ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in TgAb positive rate, TPOAb positive rate and double antibody positive rate of early, middle and late pregnant women between different regions ( P > 0.05). The detection rates of hypothyroxinemia in early pregnant women in Ili Prefecture, Aksu Prefecture and Kashgar Prefecture were 13.9% (5/36), 3.2% (1/31) and 0 (0/33), respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference between different regions ( P = 0.036). The detection rates of subclinical hyperthyroidism in middle pregnant women were 0 (0/35), 0 (0/40), 17.6% (6/34), respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference between different regions ( P = 0.001). Conclusions:The results of urinary iodine in the three regions are in line with the iodine nutrition distribution under their respective iodine supplement strategies. Pregnant women in Kashgar Prefecture present iodine excess status after taking iodized oil pills; at the same time, the serum FT 3, FT 4 and TSH levels of pregnant women in Kashgar Prefecture are affected by iodine nutrition levels. Although it is scientific and effective to implement the intensified iodine supplement measures for pregnant women, it is still necessary to further study the suitability of oral iodine oil pills to ensure that pregnant women are at an suitability iodine nutrition level.

Analysis on mechanism of frankincense volatile oil in prevention and treatment of cardiac hypertrophy based on in vitro cell experiment and network pharmacology / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

To explore the potential mechanism of frankincense volatile oil in the prevention and treatment of cardiac hypertrophy based on in vitro cell experiment and network pharmacology. METHODS: The anti-hypertrophic effect of frankincense volatile oil was investigated by isoproterenol induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes hypertrophy model. The active chemical components and targets of frankincense volatile oil and targets associated with cardiac hypertrophy were obtained by CNKI, Pubmed, Pubchem databases, etc. String database and Cytoscape 3.8.0 software were used to construct protein-protein interaction network (PPI) and a network of "drug-active component-key target-disease" of frankincense volatile oil in order to screen the key targets of frankincense volatile oil against cardiac hypertrophy. The fluorescent quantitative PCR experiments were performed to verify those key targets. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway annotation analysis of key target genes were performed using David online analysis tool. RESULTS: In vitro cell experiments showed that frankincense volatile oil significantly inhibited the isoproterenol induced increases in cardiomyocytes surface area and protein synthesis, and upregulations of ANP and β-MHC mRNA. A total of 87 active components and 36 ingredient-disease targets of frankincense volatile oil were screened. Network analysis showed that ESR1, NOS3, PTGS2, TNF, MAPK14, and PPARG were key targets. Fluorescence quantitative PCR experiments results indicated that frankincense volatile oil inhibited isoproterenol induced upregulations of ESR1, PTGS2, TNF, and MAPK14 mRNA levels, and downregulations of NOS3, PPARG mRNA levels, respectively. In addition, the GO functional enrichment analysis showed that its biological pathways mainly included lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway, positive regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process, caveola, enzyme binding, etc. The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis included 22 KEGG pathways, which were closely related to VEGF signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, sphingolipid signaling pathway and others. CONCLUSION: The active components of frankincense volatile oil may regulate VEGF signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, Sphingolipid signaling pathway by acting on ESR1, NOS3, PTGS2, TNF, MAPK14 and PPARG targets, thereby affecting the regulation of lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway, positive regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process, caveola, and enzyme binding, and improving cardiac hypertrophy.

Analysis of the impact of maternal and child health care institution accreditation on the service improvement of secondary maternal and child health hospital in China / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective:To analyze the status of secondary maternal and child health hospital accreditation in China and the impact of such accreditation on their service improvement.Methods:The paper used the propensity score matching method to match the accreditation group and the non-accreditation group in 1∶1 ratio, and compared the related indicators of service capability of maternal and child health hospitals between the two groups by non-parametric test and Chi-square test.Results:A total of 842 maternal and child health care hospitals were matched. A comparison was made between the accreditation group and the non-accreditation group, and the differences of the following indicators of individual services within the hospital were statistically significant( P<0.01). These indicators were annual emergency attendance, the number of types of health services for women and children, the utilization rate of beds, the average daily hospital bed of each practicing physician; the following indicators of service management within their coverage were statistically significant: namely the proportion of institutions carrying out health education evaluation within their coverage, that of institutions producing uniform " Mother and Child Health Handbook", that of institutions carrying out information quality control, as well as analysis and utilization.These indicators of the accreditation group were higher than those in the non-accreditation group( P<0.01). Conclusions:Given the role played by maternal and child health institution accreditation in promoting secondary maternal and child health hospital regarding better service content, quantity, efficiency and the quality of business management within their coverage, there is still room for improvement.

Rutin attenuates early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats by protecting blood-brain barrier / 国际脑血管病杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of rutin on blood-brain barrier in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rats.Methods:A rat model of SAH was induced by puncturing the internal carotid artery. The rats were divided into a sham operation group, a model group and a rutin (50 mg/kg) group. Twenty-four hours after modeling, SAH score and neurological deficit score were conducted, and brain water content and Evans blue extravasation rate were detected in each group. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of claudin-5, occludin and zonula occluden (ZO)-1. TUNEL staining was used to detect neuronal apoptosis.Results:Compared with the sham operation group, the SAH score increased, the neurological deficit score decreased, and the brain water content and Evans blue extravasation increased in the model group. Rutin could significantly reduce the SAH score, increase neurological deficit score, and reduce brain water content and Evans blue exudation (all P<0.01). Western blot analysis showed that the expression of claudin-5, occludin and ZO-1 protein decreased in the model group, and the expression of claudin-5, occludin and ZO-1 protein increased significantly in the rutin group ( P<0.01). In addition, the number of TUNEL positive cells induced by SAH in the rutin group decreased. Conclusion:Rutin can play a protective role in early brain injury after SAH, and its mechanism may be associated with protecting the integrity of blood-brain barrier.

Research Progress of Nano-drug Delivery System Targeting Tumor-associated Macrophage in Cancer Treatment / 肿瘤防治研究

Tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs), abundantly infiltrated in the tumor microenvironment, have a significant influence on tumor metastasis, angiogenesis and immune escape. Therefore, TAMs-targeted immunotherapy has become a hot point in the field of cancer treatment. However, most of the conventional TAMs-targeted agents may cause serious adverse effects, such as short retention time, poor drug enrichment and drug-resistance. In order to overcome these shortcomings, nanobiotechnology has attracted considerable attention. More recently, a series of important progress for nanomedicine has been achieved in the area of drug delivery and diagnostic imaging, because of their special physical and chemical properties. Hence, the TAMs-targeted nanomedicine delivery system provides new ideas for tumor immunotherapy. This paper reviews the role of TAMs in tumor microenvironment, the tumor-promoting mechanism, and introduces the research progress of nanomedicine in TAMs polarization, nanodrug delivery, TAMs-targeted imaging and preventing the TAMs recruitment, so as to provide reference for the application of nanotechnology in tumor immunotherapy.

Sugar sweetened beverage knowledge and consumption among third grade primary students in Nanjing / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To explore the knowledge and consumption of sugar sweetened beverage(SSB) and its influencing factors among third grade primary students, to provide basis for take targeted intervention measures.@*Methods@#In September 2019, 1 686 primary school students of grade 3 were randomly selected from 2 primary schools in 1 urban area and 1 outer suburb area of 12 districts in Nanjing by using a multistage cluster sampling method，and a self administered questionnaire were offered to them to collect the knowledge about sugar sweetened beverage and its intake.@*Results@#Totally 753 students (44.7%) answered 6 or more SSB knowledge questions correctly, and the rate of 389 students (50.2%) in urban areas was higher than that of 364 students (40.0%) in suburban areas. There were 780 (46.3%) students who knew that dairy containing beverage could not replace milk, the rate of 403 (52.0%) students in urban area was higher than that of 377 (41.4%) students in suburban area (χ 2=17.76, 18.99, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the frequency of consumption of SSB <1 time per week, the behavioral risk factors of primary school students who drink SSB ≥4 times per week were:urban area (OR=1.55), low parents educational level (OR=2.44), and frequent storage of SSB at home (OR=1.62). The protective factors were as follows:duration of extracurricular physical activity <120 min/week (OR=0.68), video time <120 min/day (OR=0.50), awareness rate of SSB ≥60% (OR=0.75), and restriction of high sugar snacks by parents (OR=0.60).@*Conclusion@#The knowledge associated with SSB among third grade students in Nanjing is relatively low. Consumption of SSB has been influenced by areas, parents educational level, knowledge about SSB and family factors. SSB consumption among primary students should be interfered at the school and family level. The health food education need to carry out based on the school and family, so as to create a supportive atmosphere integrating the school family to drink less sugar beverages.

Effects of oleanolic acid on early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage through SIRT1 / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of oleanolic acid (OA) on Sirtuin1 (SIRT1)-mediated high-mobility group box 1(HMGB1) deacetylation in the early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).Methods:A total of 176 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into Sham operation (Sham group) ( n=48), SAH group ( n=48), OA group ( n=48) and Sirtinol group ( n=32). Rats in the SAH group, OA group and the Sirtinol group all adopted internal carotid artery puncture to construct SAH model, while rats in the sham group did not adopt puncture. One hour after modeling, the rats in the OA group were given intraperitoneal injection of OA (20 mg/kg), and the rats in the Sirtinol group were given intracerebroventricular injection of Sirtinol (2 mmol/L, 30 μL/kg). The rats in the sham group and SAH group were injected with equal volumes of sodium chloride injection. The SAH score and neurological score were performed 24 h after SAH, and the water content in the brain tissue and Evans blue exudation rate were measured. The expressions of HMGB1, SIRT1 and acetylated HMGB1 proteins in the brain tissue of rats were detected by Western Blot. The expression of HMGB1 mRNA in the brain of the rats was detected by quantitative real-time PCR. The distribution of HMGB1 protein in the brain of the rats was observed by immunofluorescence staining. TUNEL staining was used to observe the neuronal apoptosis in the brain tissue of the rats. Results:Compared with the SAH group, the SAH score of the OA group was significantly reduced ( P<0.001), the Garcia score was increased ( P<0.01), and the brain water content and Evans blue exudation rate were both reduced (all P<0.01). Compared with the OA group, the SAH score of the Sirtinol group was increased ( P<0.01), the Garcia score was significantly decreased ( P<0.001), and the brain water content and Evans blue exudation rate were both increased (all P<0.01). The results of Western Blot and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR showed that, compared with the SAH group, the protein level ( P<0.01) and mRNA level ( P<0.05) of HMGB1 in the OA group were decreased, the expression of SIRT1 protein was significantly increased ( P<0.001), and the expression of acetylated HMGB1 protein was decreased ( P<0.01). Immunofluorescence staining showed that OA inhibited the migration of HMGB1 protein from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. TUNEL staining showed that OA could effectively reduce the number of TUNEL-positive cells. Compared with the OA group, Sirtinol significantly increased the number of TUNEL-positive cells. Conclusions:OA can reduce the release of HMGB1 through the SIRT1/HMGB1 pathway, thereby protecting the early brain injury after SAH.
