RESUMO
Objective:To explore the relationship between the polymorphisms of AHNAK2 gene rs12882641,rs28583515 and rs2582497 loci and coronary heart disease(CHD)in the population of Xinjiang.Materials:This study used a case-control method,a total of 602 patients who were hospitalized and underwent coronary angiogra-phy(CAG)at ourheart center from Jan 2019 to Dec 2021 were selected.According toCAG results,the patients were divided into CHD group(n=301)and non-CHD group(n=301).The AHNAK2 gene rs12882641,rs28583515 and rs2582497 loci were genotyped using the improved multiple ligase detection reaction(iMLDR)technique,and the relationship between AHNAK2 gene polymorphisms and CHD was analyzed.Results:Compared with non-CHD group,there was significant rise in the distribution frequencies of AC+CC genotypes(52.8%vs.61.1%,P= 0.040)at rs2582497 locus of the AHNAK2 gene under the dominant model;there was significant reduction in distri-bution frequency of the CC genotype(65.8%vs.53.8%)at the rs28583515 locus of the AHNAK2 gene,and signif-icant rise in distribution frequencies of CT+TT(34.2%vs.46.2%)under the dominant model,TT under the re-cessive model(0.7%vs.3.0%)and CT under the additive model(33.6%vs.43.2%)in CHD group,P<0.05 or<0.01.After adjusting for confounding factors,logistic regression analysis indicated that the dominant model of the rs28583515 locus remained an independent risk factor for CHD(OR=1.509,P=0.036).Conclusion:The AH-NAK2 gene rs28583515 locus is closely related to the occurrence and development of CHD in the Xinjiang popula-tion.The dominant model of the AHNAK2 gene rs28583515 locus is an independent risk factor for CHD.
RESUMO
The existing dentin bonding systems based on acid-etching technique lead to the loss of both extrafibrillar and intrafibrillar minerals from dentin collagen, causing excessive demineralization. Because resin monomers can not infiltrate the intrafibrillar spaces of demineralized collagen matrix, degradation of exposed collagen and resin hydrolysis subsequently occur within the hybrid layer, which seriously jeopardizing the longevity of resin-dentin bonding. Collagen extrafibrillar demineralization can effectively avoid the structural defects within the resin-dentin interface caused by acid-etching technique and improve the durability of resin-dentin bonding, by preserving intrafibrillar minerals and selectively demineralizing extrafibrillar dentin. The mechanism and research progress of collagen extrafibrillar demineralization in dentin bonding are reviewed in the paper.

This study investigated the mechanism of Zexie Decoction(ZXD) in promoting white adipose tissue browning/brown adipose tissue activation based on the GLP-1R/cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway. A hyperlipidemia model was induced by a western diet(WD) in mice, and the mice were divided into a control group, a model group(WD), and low-, medium-, and high-dose ZXD groups. An adipogenesis model was induced in 3T3-L1 cells in vitro, and with forskolin(FSK) used as a positive control, low-, medium-, and high-dose ZXD groups were set up. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence results showed that compared with the WD group, ZXD promoted the expression of UCP1 in white and brown adipose tissues, and also upregulated UCP1, CPT1β, PPARα, and other genes in the cells. Western blot analysis showed a dose-dependent increase in the protein expression of PGC-1α, UCP1, and PPARα with ZXD treatment, indicating that ZXD could promote the white adipose tissue browning/brown adipose tissue activation. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining results showed that after ZXD treatment, white and brown adipocytes were significantly reduced in size, and the mRNA expression of ATGL, HSL, MGL, and PLIN1 was significantly upregulated as compared with the results in the WD group. Oil red O staining and biochemical assays indicated that ZXD improved lipid accumulation and promoted lipolysis. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining for p-CREB revealed that ZXD reversed the decreased expression of p-CREB caused by WD. In vitro intervention with ZXD increased the protein expression of CREB, p-CREB, and p-PKA substrate, and increased the mRNA level of CREB. ELISA detected an increase in intracellular cAMP concentration with ZXD treatment. Molecular docking analysis showed that multiple active components in Alismatis Rhizoma and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma could form stable hydrogen bond interactions with GLP-1R. In conclusion, ZXD promotes white adipose tissue browning/brown adipose tissue activation both in vivo and in vitro, and its mechanism of action may be related to the GLP-1R/cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway.

Objective: To explore the clinical implication of tissue-related biomarkers in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD). Methods: It was a cross-sectional study. Ten Stanford Type A AAD patients, who were diagnosed and surgically treated in the Department of Cardiology, First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, from December 2018 to August 2019, were selected as the case group. Meanwhile, 10 patients with atherosclerotic heart disease, who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), were selected as control group. The ascending aorta tissue specimens from patients of the two groups were collected during the operation. Four-dimensional non-standard quantitative proteomics technology (4D-LFQ) was used to detect the protein profile of ascending aorta tissue specimens of the two groups and to screen out differentially expressed proteins and analyze their biological functions. Precise quantification of the selected target proteins was achieved by parallel response monitoring (PRM). Results: A total of 3 985 proteins were identified by 4D-LFQ technology, among which 3 350 proteins could be quantified. There were 39 proteins were significantly upregulated and 47 proteins were significantly downregulated in AAD group. The results of biological function analysis showed that most of the differentially expressed proteins were located in the extracellular, and their functions were mainly involved in cell migration and proliferation, inflammatory cell activation, cell contraction, and muscle organ development. The 15 selected proteins underwent precise quantification by PRM, and the results showed that integrin α-Ⅱb (ITGA2B), integrin α-M (ITGAM), integrin β-2 (ITGB2), integrin β-3 (ITGB3) were significantly upregulated in the ascending aorta tissue of AAD patients. Conclusion: ITGA2B, ITGAM, ITGB2, and ITGB3 are highly expressed in aortic tissues of patients with AAD, which may be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis of AAD patients.

Objective:To observe the effect of Taohong Siwu granule on dysmenorrhea rats. Method:Forty-eight healthy SD female rats were randomly divided into six groups: control group, model group, Taohong Siwu granule groups (18, 9, 4.5 g·kg-1) and Fuke Qianjin tablet group (0.08 g·kg-1). The rats were given Bugaorer (0.35 mg·kg-1) every day and ice-water bath for 8 minutes for 10 consecutive days. Oxytocin was injected intraperitoneally on the 11th day. The writhing reaction of rats was observed, and the effect of Taohong Siwu granules on hemorheology was measured. The levels of 6-ketoprostacyclin F1α(6-keto-PGF1α), thromboxane B2(TXB2), prostaglandinF2α(PGF2α), PGE2 of rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Ca2+ in uterine tissues was scanned by laser confocal microscopy. Result:Each dose of Taohong Siwu granule group reduced the number of writhing, the time of writhing and the incidence of writhing in dysmenorrhea rats, which were significantly lower than those in model group (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the model group, high, medium and low-dose Taohong Siwu granules groups could reduce blood viscosity and plasma viscosity, and Taohong Siwu granules can significantly reduce the content of TXB2, Ca2+,PGF2α, and significantly increase the content of 6-keto-PGF1α,PGE2 (P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion:Taohong Siwu granule can significantly alleviate dysmenorrhea symptoms in rats. The mechanism may be correlated with the contents of 6-keto-PGF1α, TXB2 and PGF2α, PGE2 and Ca2+.
RESUMO
ObjectiveAt present, there are few studies on prognostic indicators for patients with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI). This paper aims to explore its significance by analyzing the demographic characteristics of patients with STBI, as well as parameters such as clinical laboratory test indicators.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 139 STBI patients admitted to the Department of Emergency Medicine, General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command from January 2017 to December 2018. According to the 28-day death event, the participants were divided into the survival group (n=108) and the death group (n=31). Indicators such as Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), platelet distribution width (PDW) and clot-related indicators were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors related to death, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was adopted to determine their prognostic values.ResultsThere were significant differences in GCS, RDW and PDW between the two groups. RDW (OR=4.577, 95% CI: 1.704-12.291), PDW (OR=1.346, 95% CI: 1.093-1.657) and GCS (OR=0.469, 95% CI: 0.301-0.730) were risk factors for death of STBI patients. The area under the curve (AUC) of RDW, PDW and GCS scores were 0.735 (0.640-0.840), 0.675 (0.553-0.796) and 0.737 (0.638-0.837), respectively, and the AUC of the combination of the three was 0.840 (0.748-0.932), which was significantly better than that of single diagnosis.ConclusionRDW, PDW combined with GCS can effectively evaluate the prognosis of patients with STBI, which has important guiding value for clinicians′ diagnosis and treatment.
RESUMO
ObjectiveThe pathophysiological changes caused by trauma are complex, and there is still a lack of effective markers for injury monitoring and prognosis judgment. This paper aims to investigate the relationship between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and lactate level and trauma severity and prognosis in trauma patients.MethodsThe data of 169 trauma patients who met the inclusion criteria in the Department of Emergency Medicine, General Hospital of the Eastern Theater Command from January to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Their gender, age, cause of injury, injury severity score (ISS), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), Glasgow coma index (GCS), NLR and lactate levels within 24 hours after the injury and other laboratory results were recorded. According to the ISS score, the patients were divided into mild injury group (ISS<16, n=78), severe injury group (16≤ISS<25, n=53), and critical injury group (ISS≥25, n=38); According to the 28-day outcomes, they were divided into death group (n=22) and survival group (n=147). The correlation between NLR and lactate levels and ISS score was analyzed, and the prognostic value was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.ResultsNLR was positively correlated with ISS (r=0.34, P<0.001), and there were significant differences among three trauma groups (P<0.001). Lactate was positively correlated with ISS (r=0.28, P=0.002) too, and significant differences were shown among three trauma groups (P=0.003). The area under the ROC curve of NLR and lactate for predicting 28-day death in trauma patients was 0.785 and 0.686, respectively.ConclusionNLR and lactate are positively correlated with trauma severity and they might play an important part in the early prognosis evaluation of trauma patients.
RESUMO
Uranium [U(Ⅵ)] in the blood is known to form stable complexes with apotransferrin (apo-Tf), which plays an important role in mediating the cytotoxicity induced by U(Ⅵ) transported to cells. The present study aimed to establish an new in vitro screening model of U(Ⅵ) decorporation agents through exploring the capability of chelating agents competing with U(Ⅵ) binding to apo-transferrin based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The optimal concentrations of apo-Tf coated antigen, Tf antibody, secondary antibody and U(Ⅵ) treatment were achieved and the stability and reproducibility of this method were validated by methodology study. Using this model, the ability of four chelating agents to mobilize the U(Ⅵ) binding to apo-Tf was evaluated, and the rank of competitiveness was catechol-3,6-bis(methyleiminodiacetic acid) (CBMIDA) ≈ Tiron > apo-Tf > DTPA-CaNa3 ≈ DTPA-ZnNa3. The efficacy of these chelating agents in removal of U(Ⅵ) was tested by animal experiments. The results showed that immediate administration of CBMIDA or Tiron after injection of U(Ⅵ) in mice significantly promoted urinary U(Ⅵ) excretion and reduced U(Ⅵ) accumulation in kidneys and femurs, while DTPA-CaNa3 and DTPA-ZnNa3 have no obvious effects as compared to U(Ⅵ)-exposed mice alone, which was consistent with the results of competitive ELISA method. The animal experiments conform to the rules of the Animal Research Ethics Committee of School of Pharmacy of Fudan University. These results show that the new proposed method is rapid, simple and convenient with good reproducibility and has the potential to be used for in vitro screening of U(Ⅵ) decorporation agents.
RESUMO
Platelet microparticles (PMPs) are membrane particles derived from the platelet membrane that enter into the blood circulation. We sought to explore the therapeutic effects of Tao-Hong-Si-Wu Decoction (THSWD) on angiogenesis in a rat model of cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R). The protective effect of THSWD on I/R rats was observed morphologically by immunohistochemical expression of VEGF and CD34, along with immunofluorescence results of co-expression of BrdU and vWF. Then, PMPs from different groups of rats were extracted, and cytokine array analysis was used to screen for angiogenesis associated proteins. The results showed that THSWD can promote the expression of VEGF, CD34, BrdU and vWF. Cytokine array analysis revealed the changes in the expression of 29 related angiogenic proteins in the total protein of PMPs, which involved the Notch signalling pathway. Compared with model group, the expression levels of NICD and Hes-1 in the THSWD group were significantly increased. In the context of I/R, the angiogenesis-related proteins of PMPs are different. THSWD may involve the promotion of activation of the Notch signalling pathway to achieve therapeutic effects on cerebral ischaemia.
RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the reproductive protective effect of Duzhong Butiansu Capsule (DBC) by using cyclophosphamide induced spermatogenic disorder model, and explore its mechanism. Methods: The model of spermatogenic disorder was established by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (60 mg/kg) for 5 d. Drug intervention at high and low doses (1.388 g/kg and 0.694 g/kg) was given for 4 weeks from the 8th day. The body weight and organ index of each group were measured. The pathological structure of testis was detected by HE staining. ELISA method was used to detect the levels of T, FSH, LH, MDA, SOD, GSH-Px. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze the expression of Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway related factors Nrf2, HO-1, NQO1, HDAC2, and p-PKC in testicular tissue. Results: Compared with the model group, DBC significantly reduced the weight of mice, increased the index of testis, epididymis and kidney, improved the pathological morphology of testis, increased the number of spermatozoa, increased the motility of sperm, decreased the rate of abnormal sperm, increased the level of T and decreasd the level of LH and FSH, increased the content of MDA, decreased the content of SOD and GSH-Px, increased the expression of Nrf2, HO-1, NQO1, HDAC2, and p-PKC protein, and increased the area of positive expression of Nrf2, HO-1 protein (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusion: DBC can obviously improve the spermatogenic disorder induced by cyclophosphamide, and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of Nrf2/ARE signal pathway associated with oxidative stress.

RESUMO
The physiology and pathology of the heart and kidney are interdependent and interact with each other, and dysfunction of any one of them causes dysfunction of the other, namely cardiorenal syndrome, in which type I and type Ⅱ have the highest incidence rate and are the commonest in clinic. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of treating the cardiorenal syndrome. It believes that the disease is located in the heart and kidney, and Wenyang Yiqi, Huoxue Lishui and other methods shall be adopted to effectively improve the heart and kidney function of patients. However,the pathogenesis of cardiorenal syndrome is complicated, and the clinical manifestations are diverse, which makes it difficult to diagnose and treat in the early stage, and causes missing of the best intervention timing and a poor prognosis. Biomarkers play a vital role in predicting the occurrence and development of cardiorenal syndrome. Therefore, efforts shall be made to look for biomarkers with better specificity and sensitivity, accurately evaluate physiological and pathological changes in heart and kidney, so as to achieve early diagnosis and early intervention of cardiorenal syndrome, and improve the effect of disease diagnosis and treatment. At present, domestic and foreign scholars have studied and applied more markers mainly in renal tubular injury, including neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, kidney injury molecule-1 and urinary interleukin-18. In addition, other studies have found cell cycle arrest inducing factors, such as insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7, tissue inhibitor metallo proteinase-2, and fibroblast growth factor 23 associated with mineral metabolism. The increase of the content of these biomarkers in the body is earlier than the rise of serum creatinine, which can better predict the occurrence of early cardiorenal syndrome, and has a high application value and research value. After summarization of the biomarkers relating to type I and Ⅱ cardiorenal syndrome in domestic and foreign literatures, the research progress of several representative markers were reviewed to provide reference for related research.
RESUMO
Objective The level of lactic acid in blood can reflect the degree of ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue and cerebral perfusion pressure. The aim of this paper is to explore the value of blood lactate and lactate clearance in evaluating the survival rate and neurological outcome of patients with craniocerebral trauma. Methods The clinical data of 497 craniocerebral trauma patients admitted to our hospital from September 2017 to July 2018 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into groups with different 6 h lactate clearance rates and admission lactate levels, and the differences in mortality and outcome of neurological function in each group were compared. Results The serum admission lactate levels、serum lactate levels at 6 hours, 28-day mortality and 28-day poor nerve function prognosis rate of patients with different 6h lactate clearance rates were statistically significant differences(P < 0. 05). The efficacy of 6h lactic acid to predict the mortality rate of patients was better than that of admission lactic acid and 6h lactate clearance rate (Z=3.71、Z=3.95,P<0.05). However, in predicting the neurological function of patients, the lactate clearance rate is not better than blood lactate level at any time(Z=1.30,Z=0.81,P>0.05). Conclusion 6h lactic acid has the best ability to judge the mortality of patients while lactic acid clearance rate is not better than the blood lactate level at any time in predicting the neurological function of patients.

OBJECTIVE@#To study the effect of calcium-sensitive receptors (CaSR) on the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) in a neonatal mouse model of persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPH).@*METHODS@#Eighty neonatal C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control, PPH, agonist and antagonist groups. The control group was exposed to air, and the other three groups were exposed to 12% oxygen. The agonist and antagonist groups were intraperitoneally injected with a CaSR agonist (GdCl 16 mg/kg) and a CaSR antagonist (NPS2390, 1 mg/kg), respectively, while the PPH and control groups were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline instead. All mice were treated for 14 days. Alveolar development and pulmonary vessels were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The protein and mRNA expression of eNOS and its localization in lung tissues were determined by Western blot, qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. The levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and NO in lung homogenate were determined using ELISA.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the control group, the PPH and agonist groups showed significant increases in alveolar mean linear intercept, the percent wall thickness of pulmonary arterioles, right to left ventricular wall thickness ratio (RV/LV) and BNP concentration, but a significant reduction in radial alveolar count (P<0.05). The antagonist group had significant improvements in all the above indices except RV/LV compared with the PPH and agonist groups (P<0.05). Compared with those in the control group, the protein and mRNA expression of eNOS and NO concentration were significantly increased in the PPH group and increased more significantly in the agonist group, but were significantly reduced in the antagonist group (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#CaSR plays an important role in the development of PPH in neonatal mice, possibly by increasing eNOS expression and NO concentration.
