RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease that affects an estimated 3% of the world's population. PSORI-CM02 is an empirically developed Chinese medicine formula optimised from Yin Xie Ling, summarised by national medical master Guo-Wei Xuan, that has been used for decades to treat psoriasis in the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine. However, its anti-psoriatic mechanisms are still poorly understood. In this study, we explored the effects of PSORI-CM02 on autophagy and the underlying mechanisms in TNF-α-stimulated HaCaT cells and in a mouse model of imiquimod-induced psoriasis. METHODS: Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. Apoptosis was detected by annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining and caspase-3 assays. Autophagy was detected by electron microscopy, RT-PCR and western blotting. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway was analysed by western blotting and immunochemical analysis. RESULTS: PSORI-CM02 induced autophagy and thus inhibited the proliferation of HaCaT cells via suppression of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. In mice with IMQ-induced psoriasis, PSORI-CM02 relieved psoriasis symptoms, induced autophagy and inhibited the phosphorylation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in the skin. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that PSORI-CM02 treats psoriasis by inducing autophagy via inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.

RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the serum level of miR-126 in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and to elucidate its clinical significance in hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Methods:From January 2015 to December 2018, 60 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were selected as observation group, and 60 healthy subjects were selected as control group in the People's Hospital of Lin'an Affiliated to Hangzhou Medical College.The serum levels of miR-126 were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-ɑ (TNF-ɑ) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results:The serum level of miR-126 in the observation group was lower than that in the control group [(0.46±0.11) vs.(1.00±0.13), t=24.562, P<0.05], and the serum levels of CRP, TNF-ɑ and NF-κB were higher than those in the control group[(8.74±0.69)mg/L vs.(3.98±0.61)mg/L, (62.43±8.26)μg/L vs.(31.28±6.54)μg/L, (19.73±1.02)μmol/L vs.(4.92±0.87)μmol/L, t=40.034, 22.902, 85.570, all P<0.05]. There were statistically significant differences in serum miR-126, CRP, TNF-ɑ, NF-κB levels among patients with different severity of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage[(0.57±0.09) vs.(0.44±0.12) vs.(0.36±0.11), (6.91±0.72)mg/L vs.(8.63±0.67)mg/L vs.(9.14±0.75)mg/L, (53.16±8.19)μg/L vs.(62.57±8.33)μg/L vs.(70.38±8.09)μg/L, (12.49±0.97)μmol/L vs.(19.58±1.11)μmol/L vs.(25.64±1.05)μmol/L, F=14.433, 41.379, 17.796, 623.893, all P<0.05], with the severity increased, the serum miR-126 level decreased, serum CRP, TNF-ɑ and NF-κB levels increased.The serum miR-126 level in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage of the poor prognosis group was lower than that of the good prognosis group [(0.53±0.10) vs.(0.38±0.12), t=5.279, P<0.05], and the serum levels of CRP, TNF-ɑ and NF-κB in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group[(7.85±0.64)mg/L vs.(9.16±0.73)mg/L, (51.07±8.32)μg/L vs.(73.26±8.17)μg/L, (14.73±1.08)μmol/L vs.(26.52±0.99)μmol/L, t=7.392, 10.317, 43.424, all P<0.05]. The area of brain edema in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage was negatively correlated with serum miR-126 ( r=-0.623, P<0.05), and positively correlated with serum CRP, TNF-ɑ and NF-κB ( r=0.581, 0.618, 0.642, all P<0.05). The serum miR-126 level was negatively correlated with CRP, TNF-ɑ and NF-κB in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage ( r=-0.593, -0.624, -0.618, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The serum level of miR-126 is reduced in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, which may participate in the pathogenesis of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage by participating in inflammatory reaction.The detection of serum miR-126 level has great value in evaluation of the severity and prognosis of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of intrathecal dexmedetomidine pretreatment on my-ocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I∕R) injury in rats. Methods Forty-five adult Sprague-Dawley rats of both sexes, weighing 200-250 g, in which intrathecal catheters were successfully placed without complications, were divided into 3 groups (n= 15 each) using a random number table: sham operation group (group S), group I∕R and intrathecal dexmedetomidine pretreatment group ( group DEX). Myocardial I∕R injury was produced by occlusion of the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min reperfusion. Dexmedetomidine 1 μg∕kg (diluted to 10 μl in normal saline) was intrathecally injec-ted at 30 min before ischemia in group DEX. The equal volume of normal saline was given in group I∕R. Blood samples were collected from the cardiac apex at the end of reperfusion for measurement of plasma nor-epinephrine (NE) and cardiac troponin I ( cTnI) concentrations. Then all the rats were sacrificed, and myocardial tissues were obtained for determination of myocardical infarct size, and the spinal cord was isola-ted to detect the expression of c-fos in the spinal dorsal horn by Western blot. Results Compared with group S, the myocardical infarct size, plasma NE and cTnI concentrations were significnatly increased, and the expression of c-fos in the spinal dorsal horn was up-regulated in I∕R and DEX groups (P<0. 05). Compared with group I∕R, the myocardical infarct size, plasma NE and cTnI concentrations were signific-natly decreased, and the expression of c-fos in the spinal dorsal horn was down-regulated in group DEX (P<0. 05). Conclusion Intrathecal dexmedetomidine pretreatment can reduce myocardial I∕R injury in rats, and the mechanims may be related to decreasing plasma NE levels and inhibiting c-fos expression in the spinal dorsal horn.
