RESUMO
Objective:To discuss the regulatory effect of berberine(BBR)on fatty acids in the human glioma T98G cells and its effect on the cell proliferation,migration,and invasion,and to clarify its potential mechanism.Methods:The T98G cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group and different concentrations(25,50,and 100 mg·L-1)of BBR groups.Cell wound healing assay was used to detect the migration rates of the cells in various groups;Transwell chamber assay was used to detect the invasion rates of the cells in various groups.The T98G cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group and 100 mg·L-1 BBR group,and Mass spectrometry was used to detect the fatty acid contents in the cells in two groups.The T98G cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group and different concentrations(50,100,and 150 mg·L-1)of BBR groups;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K),phosphorylated PI3K(p-PI3K),protein kinase B(AKT),phosphorylated AKT(p-AKT),sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1(SREBP-1),and fatty acid synthase(FASN)in the cells in various groups.The expression of FASN was suppressed by gene silencing technology,and the T98G cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group,shFASN1 group,and shFASN2 group.Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of FASN protein in the cells in various groups;clone formation assay was used to detect the clone formation of the cells in various groups;cell wound healing assay was used to detect the migration rates of the cells in various groups.Results:Compared with control group,the migration rates and invasion rates of the cells in different concentrations of BBR groups were decreased in a concentration-dependent manner(P<0.01),and the fatty acid content in the cells in 100 mg·L-1 BBR group was significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with control group,the expression levels of p-PI3K,p-AKT,SREBP-1,and FASN proteins in the cells in 150 mg·L-1 BBR group were significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and the expression level of SREBP-1 protein in the cells in 100 and 150 mg·L-1 BBR groups were significantly decreased(P<0.01).After suppression of FASN expression,compared with control group,the expression levels of FASN protein in the cells in shFASN1 and shFASN2 groups were significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the expression level of FASN protein in the cells in shFASN2 group was lower than that in shFASN1 group(P<0.05);compared with control group,the numbers of clone formation and migration rates of the cells in shFASN1 and shFASN2 groups were significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the migration rate of the cells in shFASN2 group was significantly lower than that in shFASN1 group(P<0.05).Conclusion:BBR interferes with fatty acid synthesis in the glioma T98G cells by reducing the expression of the PI3K/AKT/SREBP-1/FASN pathway related proteins,and decrease their migration and invasion capabilities.
RESUMO
AIM: To explore retinal microvascular changes in migraine patients using meta-analysis.METHODS: The National Library of Medicine PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched to find relevant studies, and the search period was from the creation of database to June 2023. Two investigators independently screened the literatures, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of included studies using the NOS scale. STATA15.0 was used for Meta-analysis and publication bias evaluation, sensitivity analysis was performed for results with large heterogeneity, and the funnel plot and Egger were used to assess the publication bias of the literature.RESULTS:A total of 12 studies, including 217 patients(252 eyes)with migraine with aura(MA), 283 patients(388 eyes)with migraine without aura(MO), and 374 healthy individuals(479 eyes), were included in this Meta-analysis. Several optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA)indicators, including foveal avascular zone(FAZ)macular or optic disc perfusion density were compared and analyzed. The Meta-analysis results showed that compared with healthy controls, patients with MA had a significant increase in FAZ area and perimeter, a significant decrease in perfusion density of the macular deep capillary plexus(mDCP)except for the fovea, and a significant decrease in perfusion density of the radial peripapillary capillaries(RPC)around the optic disc; the FAZ parameters were significantly increased in MO, while the differences in perfusion density of the macular superficial capillary plexus(mSCP), mDCP and RPC were not statistically significant, except for the perfusion density in the parafovea mDCP.CONCLUSIONS: Both MA and MO patients had an enlarged FAZ area, patients with MA had a significant decrease in mDCP perfusion density, and migraine patients had some degree of retinal ischemia.
RESUMO
AIM:To systematically evaluate the changes in retinal and choroidal thickness in patients with internal carotid artery stenosis by using optical coherence tomography(OCT)through Meta-analysis.METHODS: Literatures on the measurement of retinal and choroidal structure in patients with internal carotid artery stenosis by using OCT from CNKI, VIP, WF, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, SinoMed, and Embase databases were searched for relevant studies. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the databases to January 2024. In addition, quality of the included literatures was assessed by the Newtle-Ottawa scale(NOS), and RevMan 5.4.1 and Stata 16.0 were used for statistical analysis.RESULTS: A total of 17 articles(including 18 studies)were included, and the Meta-analysis results showed that, patients with internal carotid artery stenosis had significantly thinner peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer(pRNFL), ganglion cell complex(GCC), center macular thickness(CMT), and subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCT)than the healthy control group(age matched normal population). The pRNFL and SFCT of the ipsilateral eye in patients with internal carotid artery stenosis become thinner compared with the contralateral eye.CONCLUSION:To a certain extent, the morphological structure of the retina and choroid can be altered by stenosis of the internal carotid artery. OCT can non-invasively detect the microstructural changes of the retina and choroid in patients with internal carotid artery stenosis, and can be used for the evaluation of internal carotid artery stenosis.
RESUMO
In the early stage of diabetes retinopathy(DR),the change in the molecular level is often earlier than chan-ges in retinal microvessels.Under the chronic high-glucose environment,oxidative stress,epigenetic changes and other mechanisms cause retinal mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)damage,affect the transcription process of mtDNA coding genes,and damage the electronic transport chain,leading to a vicious cycle of free radicals,which accelerates the apoptosis of retinal capillary pericytes and endothelial cells,leads to retinal microcirculation dysfunction,and cause DR.This paper will review the epigenetic changes,oxidative stress,damage to replication and repair system,gene mutation and other aspects,in order to elaborate on the research progress of retinal mtDNA damage in the pathogenesis of DR.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To analyze the results of maternal anti-D measured prenatally and serological tests of the newborn postnatally, so as to provide a basis for perinatal prevention and treatment of hemolytic disease of the newborn(HDN) in Rh negative pregnant women. 【Methods】 Irregular antibodies screening, antibody identification and titer determination were carried out for pregnant women prenatally. Blood group typing and 3 HDN tests were performed for the infant suspected as HDN. One-month follow up, since the delivery of the infant, concerning the changes in antibody titers, hemoglobin and bilirubin of the infant were monitored. 【Results】 The anti-D titer increased to 512 since 28 weeks in the parturient, 1 024 at 30 weeks of gestation, and decreased to 512 at the time of delivery. The masking effect on RhD antigen was observed after the birth of the child, with a sustained decrease in hemoglobin and a sharp increase in total and indirect bilirubin after 24 h of birth, which peaked within 48 h and gradually decreased thereafter.The antibody titers gradually decreased after birth. 【Conclusion】 Close monitoring of the changes of irregular antibody titer in Rh negative parturients is helpful for the prevention and early treatment of HDN, and hemoglobin changes in the newborn should be monitored immediately after birth, as well as symptomatic treatment to reduce the involvement of affected children.

RESUMO
When the fever was induced by leukocytic pyrogen(LP)on rabbits, we observed the effects of acupuncture on the main point of "Du Channel". At the same time measured the changes of cAMP and cGMP levels in CSF of the animals.It was found that cAMP levels increased (cAMP levels of normal group 18.60?1.56 pmol/ml and experimental group 25.30?1.14pmol/ml,P
RESUMO
In order to observe the febrffugal response and analysis on its mechanism of needling "Shang gen" point bilateral infraorbital nerves of rabbits were sected in the experiment. Fever models were made by leukocytic pyrogen. The experiment findings were as follows:1. It was found that when febrile response of leukocytic pyrogen in rabbits was significant, the cAMP content in CSF was strikingly increase (25.14?2.11pmol/L). During electric needling "Shang gen" point of febrile rabbits, however, fever response was markedly inhibited (△T was 0.27?0.07 at 60min); The cAMP content rise in CSF was markedly inhibited (11.22?0.13 pmol/ml).2. After sectioning bilateral infraorbital nerves of rabbits, the fever response of febrile rabbits was not depressed (△T was 0.71?0.06 at 60min) during electric needling "Shang gen" point. In the mean time, the cAMP content in CSF was significantly increased (28.53?1.12 pmol/ml).3. The authors inferred that the mechanism of febrffugal response of electric needling "Shang gen" point might be closely associated with producing nerves impulse (from the that point) which inhibited probablely the synthesis of cAMP through some modes.
