RESUMO

A pharmacophore-based study was conducted to investigate the therapeutic activity of the traditional Tibetan medicine Zha Xun (ZX) in liver diseases. In the present study, the protective effect of ZX on the acute liver injury induced by concanavalin A (ConA) and 0.15% carbon tetrachloride (0.15% CCl4) in ICR mice was evaluated, and the results showed that ZX significantly reduced serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the ConA-induced acute immune liver injury model and the CCl4-induced acute oxidative liver injury model (P < 0.05). Subsequently, the protective effects of aqueous, 95% ethanol, 60% ethanol and 30% ethanol eluting fractions of ZX, and fulvic acid, the main water-soluble constituent of ZX, were evaluated against acute oxidative liver injury induced by 0.15% CCl4 in mice. The results showed that different solvent-eluting fractions of ZX showed certain hepatoprotective activities, among which the aqueous extract of ZX and 30% ethanol extract of ZX significantly reduced the serum levels of ALT, AST, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in mice (P < 0.05), and the serum levels of LDH in mice were significantly reduced by fulvic acid (P < 0.05), which showed significant hepatoprotective activity. The protective activities and preliminary mechanisms of the total extract of ZX, the aqueous extract of ZX, the 30% ethanol extract of ZX, and fulvic acid against hepatocellular injury in vitro were further evaluated by using the H2O2-induced hepatocellular injury model. The results showed that the components could significantly inhibit H2O2-induced hepatocellular injury, reduce the levels of ALT, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and LDH, improve the survival rate of hepatocellular cells, and reduce the content of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cell culture. At the same time, it can inhibit hepatocyte apoptosis by increasing the expression ratio of Bcl-2/BAX protein and decreasing the expression ratio of cleaved caspase-3/pro caspase-3 protein. The present study showed that ZX has clear hepatoprotective activity in vitro and in vivo, and the different solvent elution fractions of ZX showed certain hepatoprotective activity, among which the aqueous extract of ZX, 30% ethanol extract of ZX had better hepatoprotective activity, and the activity of 60% ethanol extract of ZX was stronger than that of 95% ethanol extract of ZX. The activity of ZX and its water-soluble elution site exerted hepatoprotective effects by inhibiting hepatocyte apoptosis and oxidative stress. The animals used in this experiment and related disposal meet the requirements of animal welfare, and have been reviewed and approved by the Laboratory Animal Management and Use Committee of the Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (approval number: 00004018).

RESUMO

Objective: To establish and validate a nomogram-based predictive model for idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with the collected clinical and biochemical data of patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) including 249 patients with unilateral primary aldosteronism (UPA) and 107 patients with IHA, who were treated at the Department of Endocrinology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from November 2013 to November 2022. Plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and plasma renin concentration (PRC) were measured by chemiluminescence. Stepwise regression analysis was applied to select the key predictors of IHA, and a nomogram-based scoring model was developed. The model was validated in another external independent cohort of patients with PA including 62 patients with UPA and 43 patients with IHA, who were diagnosed at the Department of Endocrinology, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. An independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test were used for statistical analysis. Results: In the training cohort, in comparison with the UPA group, the IHA group showed a higher serum potassium level [M(Q1, Q3), 3.4 (3.1, 3.8) mmol/L vs. 2.7 (2.1, 3.1) mmol/L] and higher PRC [4.0 (2.1, 8.2) mU/L vs. 1.5 (0.6, 3.4) mU/L] and a lower PAC post-saline infusion test (SIT) [305 (222, 416) pmol/L vs. 720 (443, 1 136) pmol/L] and a lower rate of unilateral adrenal nodules [33.6% (36/107) vs. 81.1% (202/249)]; the intergroup differences in these measurements were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Serum potassium level, PRC, PAC post-SIT, and the rate of unilateral adrenal nodules showed similar performance in the IHA group in the validation cohort. After stepwise regression analysis for all significant variables in the training cohort, a scoring model based on a nomogram was constructed, and the predictive parameters included the rate of unilateral adrenal nodules, serum potassium concentration, PAC post-SIT, and PRC in the standing position. When the total score was ≥14, the model showed a sensitivity of 0.65 and specificity of 0.90 in the training cohort and a sensitivity of 0.56 and specificity of 1.00 in the validation cohort. Conclusion: The nomogram was used to successfully develop a model for prediction of IHA that could facilitate selection of patients with IHA who required medication directly.

RESUMO

Objective:To investigate the intervention effect of <italic>n</italic>-butyl alcohol extracts from Xiaoyaosan against depression-like behavior induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) in model mice and the role of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor <italic>β</italic> (IGF-1R<italic>β</italic>)/phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway in such intervention. Method:The effective dose of n-butyl alcohol extracts from Xiaoyaosan was preliminarily determined in model mice with behavioral despair. Then the male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, fluoxetine group, Xiaoyaosan group, and the low- (20 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>) and high-dose (40 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>) <italic>n</italic>-butyl alcohol extract groups. The mice in all groups except for the blank group were exposed to CUMS for inducing the depression-like behavior, which was judged by the sucrose preference test (SPT). The successfully modeled mice in the medication groups were intragastrically administered with the corresponding drugs, whereas those in the blank and model groups were treated with an equal volume of solvent for five successive weeks. Following the SPT, tail suspension test (TST), and novelty suppressed feeding test (NSFT) at the end of the fifth week, the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels in mouse serum and hippocampus were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The average optical density (<italic>IA</italic>) of Nissl bodies in mouse hippocampal CA3 region was detected by toluidine blue staining. The 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (Brdu) and doublecortin (DCX) expression in the dentate gyrus (DG) was assayed using immunofluorescence method. The protein expression levels of IGF-1R<italic>β</italic>, PI3K, phosphorylated-PI3K (p-PI3K), Akt, p-Akt, cysteine aspartic acid-specific protease 3 (Caspase-3), and cleaved Caspase-3 in the hippocampus were determined by Western blot. Result:The results of forced swimming test and TST showed that n-butyl alcohol extracts from Xiaoyaosan at 9.1 and 40 g·kg<sup>-1</sup> both significantly shortened the immobility time of mice (<italic>P</italic><0.05, <italic>P</italic><0.01), indicating that the effective dose ranged from 9.1-40 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>. Compared with the model control, the n-butyl alcohol extracts from Xiaoyaosan at 20 and 40 g·kg<sup>-1</sup> significantly increased the sucrose preference percentage (<italic>P</italic><0.05, <italic>P</italic><0.01), shortened the immobility time in TST (<italic>P</italic><0.01) and the feeding latency in NSFT (<italic>P</italic><0.01), reversed the down-regulated IGF-1 content in mouse serum and hippocampus (<italic>P</italic><0.01), increased the AOD of Nissl bodies in the hippocampal CA3 region (<italic>P</italic><0.01), promoted the expression of Brdu and DCX in DG (<italic>P</italic><0.05, <italic>P</italic><0.01), and down-regulated the protein expression levels of IGF-1R<italic>β</italic> (<italic>P</italic><0.05, <italic>P</italic><0.01), p-PI3K/PI3K (<italic>P</italic><0.05, <italic>P</italic><0.01), p-Akt/Akt (<italic>P</italic><0.05), and cleaved Caspase-3/Caspase-3 in the hippocampus of CUMS mice. Conclusion:The n-butyl alcohol extracts from Xiaoyaosan are equivalent to Xiaoyaosan in inhibiting expression. They alleviate the depression-like behavior in CUMS mice, induce the production of Nissl bodies in hippocampal CA3 region, enhance neuronal proliferation and differentiation in DG, and facilitate neurogenesis. All these may be related to the inhibition of over-activated IGF-1R<italic>β</italic>/PI3K/Akt pathway and the reduction of neuronal apoptosis.

The control group received standard dose of prednisone acetate orally, and the dose was gradually reduced according to platelet count; and the treatment group was given Ziyin-Heyang Decoction on the basis of the control group. Both groups had one course of treatment for 8 weeks, with a total of 2 courses of treatment. Before and after treatment, TCM syndrome score was performed, PLT was detected by impedance method, bleeding score was calculated, daily dosage of prednisone acetate tablets was recorded, and platelet related antibodies (PAIgA, PAIgG, PAIgM, PAIgD) were detected by flow cytometry. Then clinical and syndrome efficacy were evaluated. Results:The total effective rate was 75.8% (25/33) in the treatment group and 53.1% (17/32) in the control group, and the difference in efficacy was statistically significant ( Z=2.846, P<0.05). For the TCM syndromes, the total effective rate was 100.0% (33/33) in the treatment group and 75.0% (24/32) in the control group, and there was a statistical difference between them ( Z=3.841, P<0.05). After treatment, the platelet count improvement [(97.6 ± 39.9)×10 9/L vs. (70.9 ± 16.6)×10 9/L, t=3.540] of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The TCM syndrome score [6.00 (4.00) vs. 10.00 (6.00), Z=3.510] of the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05). After the treatment, the dose of prednisone acetate tablets [5.00 (17.50) mg/d vs. 27.66 (11.98) mg/d, Z=4.186] of the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Bleeding score decreased in both groups, but there was no significant difference between them ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant change in platelet related antibody levels in the treatment group before and after treatment ( P>0.05).

RESUMO

PURPOSE@#Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that can be found in both normal and abnormal breast cells. Whether the expression of Tau protein can predict the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is still unclear. In this study, we assessed the role of Tau protein expression in predicting a pathological complete response (pCR) to NACT for different subtypes of breast cancer.@*METHODS@#Four hundred and sixty-eight eligible patients were retrospectively recruited in our study. The relationship between clinicopathologic factors, including Tau protein expression, and pCR in different subtypes was evaluated using logistic regression analysis. Correlation between Tau and disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) was performed using Kaplan–Meier analysis.@*RESULTS@#The expression of Tau protein was negatively correlated with pCR, especially in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). No significant difference was observed in the luminal human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative subtype and HER2-positive subtype. Patients with pCR were associated with better DFS and OS (p 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Tau protein expression can predict pCR before NACT in TNBC, but there was no correlation between Tau expression and DFS or OS.

RESUMO

Background@#Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a complicated condition of patients with advanced tumors. Further dissecting the microenvironment of infiltrated immune cells and malignant cells are warranted to understand the immune-evasion mechanisms of tumor development and progression.@*Methods@#The possible involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in malignant pleural fluid was investigated using small RNA sequencing. Regulatory T cell (Treg) markers (CD4, CD25, forkhead box P3), and Helios (also known as IKAROS Family Zinc Finger 2 [IKZF2]) were detected using flow cytometry. The expression levels of IKZF2 and miR-4772-3p were measured using quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The interaction between miR-4772-3p and Helios was determined using dual-luciferase reporter assays. The effects of miR-4772-3p on Helios expression were evaluated using an in vitro system. Correlation assays between miR-4772-3p and functional molecules of Tregs were performed.@*Results@#Compared with non-malignant controls, patients with non-small cell lung cancer had an increased Tregs frequency with Helios expression in the MPE and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The verified downregulation of miR-4772-3p was inversely related to the Helios+ Tregs frequency and Helios expression in the MPE. Overexpression of miR-4772-3p could inhibit Helios expression in in vitro experiments. However, ectopic expression of Helios in induced Tregs reversed the effects induced by miR-4772-3p overexpression. Additionally, miR-4772-3p could regulate Helios expression by directly targeting IKZF2 mRNA.@*Conclusion@#Downregulation of miR-4772-3p, by targeting Helios, contributes to enhanced Tregs activities in the MPE microenvironment.

RESUMO

Objectives@#To study an effects on hearing ability and speech performance of the patients with auditory neuropathy (AN) after cochlear implantation (CI).@*Methods@#Thirty-five AN patients (26 males and 9 females) after CI in our center since 2007 were chosen, including 5 postlingual patients (implanted age from 14.3 to 38.6 years old) and 30 prelingual patients (implanted age from 1.1 to 13.7 years old). Hearing sensitivity and speech performance were estimated via following methods: (1) implanted hearing thresholds by sound field audiometry; (2) speech audiometry, including monosyllable, disyllable and sentences recognition test by computer-controlled software and sentence recognition test under noise condition (signal to noise ratio=+ 10dB); (3) Mandarin Early Speech Perception test (MESP), Mandarin Pediatric Speech Intelligibility test (MPSI), MAIS, or IT-MAIS for prelingual AN implantees.@*Results@#The average implanted hearing threshold (250-4 000 Hz) was (41.1±11.7) dBHL in 22 AN implantees, while those prelingual implantees was (39.1±10.9) dBHL, and (44.9±12.3) dBHL in postlingual implantees. Speech audiometry were implemented in four of 5 postlingual AN implantees, the results showed increasing tendency in monosyllable recognition scores, dramatic individual variation in computer-controlled disyllable and sentences recognition test, and poor scores (<30%) in speech recognition test in noise condition. Four of 30 prelingual implantees reconstruct their speech recognition ability within 1-3 years after switch-on, characterized as recognition scores (>60%) in monosyllable, disyllable and sentences. The one of prelingual implantee gained recognition scores of speech in noise within 1 year after switch-on. MAIS or IT-MAIS were implemented in twenty-five prelingual implantees, the average score in these patients was 28.6±11.7.@*Conclusion@#Cochlear implant can improve the hearing thresholds of AN patients, however, the improvement in speech performance presented significant variations among the implanted individuals.

The length eye axis was between 19. 60-22. 46mm, an average of 20. 63 ± 0. 48mm. The depth of anterior chamber was between 0. 98 - 1. 86mm, an average of 1. 31 ± 0. 22mm. All the patients were performed with 25G + vitrectomy. The visual acuity, anterior chamber and intraocular pressure were studied after treatment. ·RESULTS: The patients were followed up for 6-18mo with an average of 9mo. BCVA at the last follow up improved to 0. 2-0. 8, and there was significant difference compared to that before operation (P<0. 01). IOP was from 12. 3-19. 8mmHg, an average of 16. 05±2. 46mmHg, there was significant difference compared to that before operation ( t = 7. 59, P<0. 01 ). The depth of anterior chamber was between 1. 89-3. 49mm, an average of 2. 42±0. 47mm, there was significant difference compared to that before operation(t=9. 07, P<0. 01). Only one case had IOP of 8mmHg, after treatment the IOP was 15mmHg. No complications such as corneal endothelium decompensation, intraocular lens ( IOL ) capture, intraocular hemorrhage, infection and uncontrolled IOP were observed. · CONCLUSION: The 25G + vitrectomy is safe and effective for treating malignant glaucoma, controls IOP and reduces complications compared with traditional vitrectomy.

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of two different surgical approaches combined fixation with lumbar interbody fusion in treating single segmental lumbar vertebra diseases.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical data of 86 patients with single segmental lumbar vertebra diseases treated from June 2011 to June 2013 was retrospectively analyzed. There were 33 males and 53 females, aged from 28 to 76 years old with an average of 53.0 years. Among them, there were 39 cases of lumbar disc degeneration, 22 cases of lumbar disc herniation complicated with spinal canal stenosis, 9 cases of huge lumbar disc herniation and 16 cases of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (Meyerding degree I ). Lesion sites contained L3, 4 in 5 cases, L4, 5 in 70 cases and L5S1 in 11 cases. All the patients were treated with internal fixation and lumbar interbody fusion with 45 cases by midline incision approach (median incision group) and the other 41 cases by channel-assisted by muscle-splitting approach(channel group). Incision length, operation time, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative drainage were recorded in two groups. Visual analogue scale(VAS) was used to assess lumbar incision pain 72 h after operation. Depended on imaging results to compare the changes of the disc space height in lesion in preoperative, postoperative and final follow-up, the coronal and sagittal Cobb angle in preoperative and final follow-up, the area of multifidus and the degree of multifidus fat deposition before and after operation between two groups. Loosening or fragmentation of internal fixation, displacement of intervertebral cage and interbody fusion were observed in each group. Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scoring system was used to evaluate the function before operation and at the final follow-up.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The channel group was superior to the median incision group in incision length and postoperative drainage while the median incision group was less than the channel group in the operation time and intraoperative bleeding. The average VAS score of lumbar incision 72 h after operation was 1.50 points in median incision group and 0.97 points in channel group, and there was significant difference between two groups(<0.05). No incision infection was found, but there were 4 cases of incisional epidermal necrosis, 1 case of incision healed badness, and 3 cases of nerve injury in channel group. The incidence of cacothesis of pedicle screw were 5.0% and 3.6% in median incision group and channel group respectively, and there was no significant difference between two groups(>0.05). The incidence of cacothesis of translaminar facet screw were 6.6% and 12.2% in median incision group and channel group respectively, and there was significant difference between two groups(<0.05). All the patients were followed up for 12 to 36 months with a mean of 22.8 months. The changes of disc space height had statistical difference between preoperative and postoperative(<0.05) in all patients, but there was no significant difference between postoperative and final follow-up(>0.05), however, there was no significant difference 3 days after operation and final follow-up between two groups(>0.05). At final follow-up, coronal and sagittal Cobb angle were obviously improved in all patients(<0.05), but there was no significant difference between two groups(>0.05). One year after operation, the area of multifidus in median incision group was (789.00±143.15) mm² less than preoperative(1 066.00±173.55) mm² (<0.05), and in channel group, was(992.00±156.75) mm² at 1 year after operation and(1 063.00±172.13) mm² preoperatively, there was no significant difference between them(>0.05), however, there was significant difference one year after operation between two groups (<0.05) . About the degree of multifidus fat deposition, there was significant difference between one year after operation and preoperation in median incision group (<0.05), but there was no significant difference between one year after operation and preoperation in channel group (>0.05), and there was significant difference at one year after operation between two groups(<0.05). During the follow-up period, neither pedicle screw and/or translaminar facet screw loosening, displacement or fragmentation nor displacement of intervertebral cage were found. The lumbar interbody fusion rate was 95.6% in median incision group and was 95.1% in channel group, and there was no significant difference between two groups(>0.05). No obvious adjacent segmental degeneration was observed in fixed position. JOA score in median incision group was significantly increased from 8-16 points (average: 12.77±2.56) preoperative to 21-29 points (average: 25.20±2.43) at final follow-up(<0.05); and in channel group was significantly increased from 8-16 points (average: 12.64±2.37) preoperative to 23-29 points(average: 26.7±1.82) at final follow-up(<0.05); there was also significant difference between two groups at final follow-up.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Compared to the median incision approach, unilateral pedicle screw combined with contralateral translaminar facet screw fixation using channel-assisted by muscle-splitting approach has advantages of small incision, less trauma, fast recovery and so on. However, it also has shortages such as high surgical complications incidence, especially in cases that.</p>

RESUMO

Actinobacteria remain to be one of the major sources for new antibiotics, which historically play an essential role in human's fight against infectious diseases. Due to the emergence of resistant pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses, it is imperative to develop new and effective drugs against these pathogens. The symbiotic actinobacteria residing inside the animals are becoming more and more important as a new source for drug discovery, as well as a "hotspot" in the field of microbial medicine. During the long period of evolution, a specific host-microbe mutualism is formed between the symbiotic bacteria and their hosts of animals. In this unique ecosystem, the secondary metabolites produced by bacteria are well tolerated by the hosts, meanwhile, are able to selectively suppress pathogenic microorganisms, thus providing a specific protection to their hosts. These secondary metabolites encompass a large variety of structural diversities of natural products, and so far, the reported biological activities are including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antitumor, and immunomodulatory effects, which give them a great potential in the field of drug discovery. Herein, we review the secondary metabolites of animal symbiotic actinobacteria and their biological activities within the recent decade, by which to provide a viewpoint for future research of drug discovery from actinobacteria.
