摘要
Polysaccharides exhibit multiple pharmacological activities which are closely related to their structural features.Therefore,quantitatively quality control of polysaccharides based on their chemical charac-teristics is important for their application in biomedical and functional food sciences.However,poly-saccharides are mixed macromolecular compounds that are difficult to isolate and lack standards,making them challenging to quantify directly.In this study,we proposed an improved saccharide mapping method based on the release of specific oligosaccharides for the assessment of Hericium eri-naceus polysaccharides from laboratory cultured and different regions of China.Briefly,a polysaccharide from H.erinaceus was digested by β-(1-3)-glucanase,and the released specific oligosaccharides were labeled with 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic-acid(APTS)and separated by using micellar electrokinetic chromatography(MEKC)coupled with laser induced fluorescence(LIF),and quantitatively estimated.MEKC presented higher resolution compared to polysaccharide analysis using carbohydrate gel elec-trophoresis(PACE),and provided great peak capacity between oligosaccharides with polymerization degree of 2(DP2)and polymerization degree of 6(DP6)in a dextran ladder separation.The results of high performance size exclusion chromatography coupled with multi-angle laser light scattering and refractive index detector(HPSEC-MALLS-RI)showed that 12 h was sufficient for complete digestion of polysaccharides from H.erinaceus.Laminaritriose(DP3)was used as an internal standard for quantifi-cation of all the oligosaccharides.The calibration curve for DP3 showed a good linear regression(R2>0.9988).The limit of detection(LOD)and limit of quantification(LOQ)values were 0.05 μg/mL and 0.2 μg/mL,respectively.The recovery for DP3 was 87.32(±0.03)%in the three independent injections.To sum up,this proposed method is helpful for improving the quality control of polysaccharides from H.erinaceus as well as other materials.
摘要
Severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) is characterized by critical condition, high lethality and poor prognosis. Its development and progression will lead to the damage and death of a large number of nerve cells, eventually causing a series of serious complications. The current treatments of sTBI and its complications are not optimistic due to problems such as unclear mechanism of action, challenges in treatment, and lack of effective prevention strategies. In recent years, more research evidences have shown that oxidative stress plays an important role in the development and progression of sTBI and its related complications. Therefore, it is of great significance to clarify the relationship of oxidative stress with sTBI and its complications and to understand the way of oxidative stress participating in the development and progression of sTBI. However, relevant researches are scattered and there lacks comprehensive and systematic summaries of oxidative stress participating in sTBI and its related complications. To this end, the authors reviewed the progress of the mechanism by which oxidative stress involves in sTBI and its complications, hoping to provide references for the research, treatment and prevention of sTBI.
摘要
This study utilized evidence mapping methodology to systematically identify, describe, and evaluate the evidence from relevant research on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) interventions in patients with pulmonary fibrosis. CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, and Cochrane Library were searched from database inception to March 2023 for systematic reviews/Meta-analysis/network Meta-analysis on TCM interventions in pulmonary fibrosis. The quality of included studies was assessed using the AMSTAR 2 scale, and the evidence mapping approach was employed to present comprehensive information on populations, intervention methods, the sample size in systematic reviews/Meta-analysis, and conclusion classifications. Ultimately, 44 systematic reviews/Meta-analysis/network Meta-analysis were included. Apart from syndrome differentiation and treatment, TCM injections accounted for a significant proportion of the observed interventions. The treatment methods were mainly focused on nourishing Qi and Yin, promoting blood circulation, resolving stasis, and dredging collaterals. The results from the included studies demonstrated that TCM treatment for pulmonary fibrosis could improve efficacy, increase lung function, improve PaO_(2 )levels, increase the 6-minute walk distance(6MWD), alleviate clinical symptoms, and enhance patients' quality of life. Based on the assessment using the AMSTAR 2 scale, methodological issues were identified, including the lack of protocol registration, failure to provide a list of excluded literature, and incomplete explanations regarding the impact of heterogeneity and bias on the results. The evidence mapping revealed that 42 conclusions were beneficial, while two conclusions were potentially beneficial. Overall, the quality of evidence was relatively low, primarily due to methodological imprecision and publication bias. Although TCM showed certain efficacy in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, the quality of reported literature, methodological quality, and overall evidence quality need improvement. It is recommended to conduct high-quality and standardized studies in the future to provide better evidence-based guidance.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of arthroscopic treatment of intraarticular displaced fractures of the calcaneus in children.Methods:The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively of the 11 children who had been treated for intraarticular displaced fractures of the calcaneus at Department of Orthopaedics, The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2015 to June 2018. They were 6 boys and 5 girls, aged from 8 to 12 years (average, 10.6 years) and involving the left foot in 7 cases and the right foot in 4. By the Sanders classification, there were 10 cases of type Ⅱ and one of type Ⅲ. Preoperative evaluation of the injury was conducted by X-ray examination and three-dimensional CT reconstruction of the calcaneus. After arthroscopic prying reduction, internal fixation with mere Kirschner wire was performed for 8 cases and internal fixation with Kirschner wire plus hollow screws for 3. The affected feet were fixated with plaster bracket or brace for one month after operation. The Kirschner wires were removed 4 to 6 weeks after operation when X-ray films revealed fracture union. The clinical effects were evaluated by anatomic recovery of the calcaneus in terms of preoperative and postoperative B?hler and Gissane angles and functional recovery of the calcaneus in terms of ankle-hindfoot scores of American Orthopedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) scale.Results:All the 11 pediatric patients were followed up for 12 to 19 months (average, 14 months). No bone grafting was applied. Their operation time averaged 63 min (from 50 to 75 min). Their incisions healed at one stage without infection. All their fractures healed within 2 to 3 months without any delayed union or nonunion. The B?hler angle (28.4°±2.9°) and Gissane angle (125.6°±3.1°) at the final follow-up were significantly improved than the preoperative values (11.8°±5.4° and 138.8°±6.3°) ( P< 0.05). The AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores were 89.6 points at the final follow-up. Conclusion:Arthroscopic percutaneous prying reduction combined with internal fixation with Kirschner wire and hollow screws can effectively reduce and fixate the intraarticular displaced fracture of the calcaneus in children, leading to limited surgical trauma and fine curative effects.

Objective:To investigate the effect of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcoisis after surgical resection and determine the differences of liver function between patients with different HBV-DNA levels.Methods:Patients were selected from January 2014 to July 2018 in the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University. Twenty-eight patients with hepatitis B and hepatic alveolar echinococcoisis were included in the experimental group, and 20 patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcoisis but without hepatitis B virus were included in the control group. Based on HBV-DNA level, the experimental group was divided into low-level group (HBV-DNA level<200 IU/ml, n=6), intermediate-level group (HBV-DNA level 200-20 000 IU/ml, n=15) and high level group (HBV-DNA level>20 000 IU/ml, n=7). Comparison of complications and liver function after liver resection in two groups.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the influential factors of postoperative complications in patients.Comparison of postoperative liver function indexes in patients with different HBV-DNA levels. Results:In the control group, postoperative total bilirubin 10.6(8.3, 16.9) μmol/L, direct bilirubin 5.3(3.4, 10.0) μmol/L, prothrombin time 13.6(13.0, 15.8)s, and the incidence of complications 25.0%(5/20), were better than the experimental group 12.6(8.4, 46.9) μmol/L, 6.7(3.1, 26.4) μmol/L, 15.4(13.5, 18.1)s, 78.6% (22/28), the differences were statistically significant significance (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that patients with HBV infection ( OR=4.593, 95% CI: 1.128-18.708) and intraoperative blood loss ≥1 000 ml ( OR=2.200, 95% CI: 1.106-4.378) were the hepatic alveolar echinococcoisis independent risk factors for postoperative complications. There were no significant differences in total bilirubin and albumin between the three groups of patients with different HBV-DNA levels ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Patients with HBV and hepatic alveolar echinococcoisis have worse liver function and are more prone to complications after surgical resection, but there is no significant difference in liver function among patients with different HBV-DNA levels.

Objective The genetic diversity of the natural populations of Gardenia jasminoides were investigated to provide scientific basis for its resources protection and rational utilization. Methods Fourteen pairs of EST-SSR primers were screened in 19 natural populations of 573 individuals to calculate the genetic parameters of G. jasminoides, and further cluster analysis was then carried out. Results Fourteen pairs of EST-SSR primers generated 75 loci, which showed high genetic diversity maintained in natural populations of G. jasminoides (He = 0.703). Mean population gene diversity (Nei) within populations was 0.603, the Shannon’s diversity index (I) was 1.10. Moderate genetic differentiation (Fst= 0.141) and high gene flow (Nm = 1.523) among populations have been showed too. AMOVA analysis revealed that genetic variation within populations was the main sources of total variation. The Mantle test showed there was no significant correlation between genetic distances and geographic distances. Moreover, significant bottlenecks effects in two-phased model of mutation (TPM) test in 73.7% populations were detected in recent history. Conclusion The results in this study indicated that high level genetic diversity were existed in the natural G. jasminoides populations.

BACKGROUND: Lumbar posterior dynamic stabilization system is a new nonfusion method for the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease, mainly including interspinous dynamic fixation system and the posterior pedicle fixation device. Wallis system and Dynesys system are representative of two different fixation systems. There is little study on above two fixation systems in the treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness and safety of Wallis system interspinous fixation, Dynesys system transpedicular fixation and fusion in the treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. METHODS: Totally 79 cases of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis voluntarily receiving the surgery were divided into three groups according to fixation mode. In the fusion group, 30 cases underwent full decompression combined with posterior lumbar interbody fusion. In the Wallis group, 25 cases underwent full decompression combined with interspinous Wallis fixation. In the Dynesys group, 24 cases underwent full decompression combined with pedicle screw fixation with Dynesys system. The follow-up data of all patients were complete at postoperative 3 years. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) There was no significant difference in baseline data, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative drainage volume among the three groups (P > 0.05). The operation time of the fusion group was obviously longer than in the other two groups (P <0.05). (2) There were no significant differences between the Wallis group and the Dynesys group in spinal function scores, visual analogue score of the low back pain, the Oswestry dysfunction index and the imaging measurement indexes (P > 0.05). The spinal function score and Oswestry dysfunction index of the fusion group were significantly decreased at postoperative 3 years (P < 0.01). The spinal function score and Oswestry dysfunction index of the Wallis and Dynesys groups at 1 month after operation were significantly lower than that in the fusion group (P < 0.01). The operation range of the three groups decreased significantly after operation (P < 0.01). Compared with the fusion group, the range of adjacent segments increased significantly in the Wallis group and the Dynesys group; and the intervertebral height, the height of the intervertebral foramen and the area of the intervertebral foramen in the three groups were significantly higher than those before the operation (P < 0.01). (3) There were no significant differences among the three groups in the evaluation of the clinical efficacy and the incidence of complications (P > 0.05). It was shown that lumbar posterior dynamic stabilization system (Wallis and Dynesys systems) internal fixation for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis can effectively relieve low back pain and maintain lumbar function and activity, and the short-term curative effect is reliable.

HBV infection is highly prevalent in China, and patients with a high HBV-DNA load for a long time may progress to liver cirrhosis, which may lead to liver cancer. At present, surgery is still the main method for the treatment of hepatitis B-related liver cancer. Many studies have shown that HBV DNA load is an important influencing factor for the recovery of liver function after surgery, postoperative complications, recurrence of liver cancer, and the success of liver transplantation in patients with hepatitis B-related liver cancer. Its mechanism may be associated with high HBV DNA load and HBV reactivation. Maintaining a low HBV DNA load by antiviral therapy can improve the prognosis of patients with hepatitis B-related liver cancer. This article reviews the influence of HBV DNA load before and after surgery on the surgical outcome of hepatitis B-related liver cancer, in order to provide a reference for research on the treatment of patients with liver cancer.
摘要
The clinical evaluation methods of facial paralysis can be divided into functional evaluation scales,neuro-electrophysiologi-cal tests and computer evaluation systems.The commonly used function evaluation scales include House-Brackmann Grading Scale(HB-GS),Burres-Fisch Facial Nerve Scoring System,Nottingham System,Sunnybrook facial grading System(SFGS),Degree of Facial Nerve Paralysis Hierarchical Scale,Facial Disability Index(FDI)and Facial Clinimetric Evaluation(FaCE)Scale,etc.Neuro-electrophysiological tests mainly consist of facial electromyography (EMG), electroneurography (ENoG), blink reflex (BR), and neural excitatory test (NET), etc.The computer evaluation system based on the sensor is mainly divided into the computer evaluation system based on infrared thermal image technology and the computer evaluation system based on biomedicine image recognition.This article briefly summarized the existing methods of facial paralysis evaluation in terms of sensitivity,stability,accuracy,ease of operation and economics.

AIM:To investigate the effects of platelet-derived growth factor receptor α(PDGFRα) on melano-cyte apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide(H2O2). METHODS:Melanocyte PIGI was used as the research object. Af-ter exposed to H2O2at different concentrations,the cell viability was detected by MTT assay. The PIGI cells were transfec-ted with empty vector pCMV6 or PDGFRα over-expression vector pCMV6-PDGFRα. The transfection efficiency was deter-mined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The effect of H2O2on the viability of the PIGI cells after over-expression of PDGFRα was measured by MTT assay. The cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein levels of p38, p-p38 and cleaved caspase-3 in the cells were detected by Western blot. DCDHF-DA was used to estemate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cells. RESULTS:The viability of PIGI cells decreased after exposed to H2O2(P<0.05), and the half maximal inhibitory concentration of H2O2was 0.7 mmol/L. Transfection with PDGFRα over-expression vector successfully induced high expression of PDGFRα at mRNA and protein levels in the PIGI cells,and increased the viability of the cells with H2O2treatment(P<0.05). Over-expression of PDGFRα decreased the apoptotic rate of PIGI cells trea-ted with H2O2(P<0.05),and the level of ROS in the cells(P<0.05). The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3 and p-p38 were also decreased (P <0.05). CONCLUSION:PDGFRα inhibits the apoptosis of melanocytes induced by H2O2,partially reverses the growth inhibition of melanocytes by H2O2,and decreases the ROS level. The mechanism may be related to regulating the protein levels of p-p38 and cleaved caspase-3 in the cells.
