RESUMO
BACKGROUND:In recent years,it has been found that some traditional Chinese medicine monomers can alleviate oxidative stress and apoptosis of the skin flap,promote vascular regeneration of the skin flap and prevent skin flap necrosis by activating autophagy. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine monomer regulating autophagy in preventing flap necrosis. METHODS:The Chinese and English key words were"traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),autophagy,skin flaps".The first author searched the relevant articles published in CNKI and PubMed databases from January 2010 to October 2022.A total of 196 articles were retrieved in the preliminary screening and then screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The quality assessment was conducted by reading the literature titles and abstracts.Finally,55 articles were summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The regulation of autophagy is mediated by AMPK/mTOR,PI3K/AKT and other signaling pathways.Activation of autophagy can alleviate the oxidative stress and apoptosis of the flap,promote the regeneration of blood vessels in the flap,and prevent flap necrosis.(2)Terpenoids(Betulinic acid,Andrographolide,Notoginseng Triterpenes,Catalpa),phenolic compounds(Resveratrol,Curcumin,Gastrodin),phenolic acids(Salvianolic acid B)and steroid compounds(Pseudoginsenoside F11)in traditional Chinese medicine monomers can alleviate oxidative stress and apoptosis of skin flap by regulating related signaling pathways to activate autophagy,promote skin flap angiogenesis and promote skin flap survival.(3)Studying the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine monomer to prevent flap necrosis by regulating autophagy can provide a reference and theoretical basis for traditional Chinese medicine to prevent flap necrosis and promote flap healing in the clinic.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells have great potential in the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury of skin flaps.However,their defects and the decline of their role in the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury of skin flaps restrict their wide application. OBJECTIVE:To review the strategies for improving the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury of skin flaps with mesenchymal stem cells,and provide a reference for its further theoretical research and clinical application. METHODS:Relevant documents included in CNKI,WanFang and PubMed were searched.The Chinese and English search terms were"mesenchymal stem cell,ischemia-reperfusion adjustment of skin flap,mesenchymal stem cells,stem cells,skin flap,ischemia-reperfusion injury,pretreatment,gene modification,biomaterial packaging,joint application".The relevant documents since 2007 were retrieved,and the documents with little relationship between the research content and the article theme,poor quality and outdated content were eliminated through reading the article,and finally 75 documents were included for summary. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Mesenchymal stem cells can inhibit inflammatory reactions,resist oxidative stress and induce angiogenesis,which has great potential in the treatment of skin flap ischemia-reperfusion injury.(2)Although mesenchymal stem cells have shown great potential in the treatment of skin flap ischemia-reperfusion injury,their shortcomings in treatment have limited their widespread clinical application.Through pre-treatment(cytokines,hypoxia,drugs,and other pre-treatment mesenchymal stem cells),gene-modified mesenchymal stem cells,biomaterial encapsulation of mesenchymal stem cells,as well as the combined use of mesenchymal stem cells and other drugs or therapeutic methods,can not only overcome the shortcomings of mesenchymal stem cells in treatment,but also improve their therapeutic effectiveness in skin flap ischemia-reperfusion injury.(3)Therefore,further improving the effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cells in treating skin flap ischemia-reperfusion injury and exploring its therapeutic potential are of great significance for the research of mesenchymal stem cells and the treatment of skin flap ischemia-reperfusion injury.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells are used in flap ischemia-reperfusion injury due to their antioxidant and inflammatory inhibition,and angiogenesis induction. OBJECTIVE:To review the mechanism and latest treatment progress of mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of flap ischemia-reperfusion injury,and to provide a basis for further theoretical research and clinical rational application. METHODS:We searched the relevant articles indexed in CNKI,WanFang and PubMed databases.Chinese and English search terms were"mesenchymal stem cells;flap ischemia reperfusion injury;conditioned medium;exosomes;oxidative stress;inflammatory reactions;angiogenesis".Relevant literature since 2010 was searched,and 74 articles were finally included after excluding the literature that had little to do with the topic of the article,poor quality and outdated content. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Mesenchymal stem cells play significant roles in antioxidation,inhibition of inflammation and induction of angiogenesis and have great potential in the treatment of flap ischemia-reperfusion injury.(2)However,the defects of mesenchymal stem cells themselves and the decline of therapeutic effect in recent years have put the development and application of mesenchymal stem cells into a bottleneck period,and the research on the plasticity of mesenchymal stem cells conditioned medium and its exosomes and mesenchymal stem cells came into being,and the therapeutic effect was significantly better than the use of mesenchymal stem cells alone.(3)Therefore,a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of action and the latest treatment progress of mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of flap ischemia-reperfusion injury is of great significance for the research of mesenchymal stem cells and the treatment of flap ischemia-reperfusion injury.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Diabetic ulcers are a common complication of diabetes mellitus,which is manifested as foot ulcers complicated with infection,long treatment cycle,high disability rate and mortality rate,and brings a heavy burden to patients and social care. OBJECTIVE:To review the mechanism of action and the latest treatment progress of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the treatment of diabetic ulcers,and to provide a basis for further theoretical research and clinical application. METHODS:CNKI,WanFang Database and PubMed database were searched for relevant literature using the keywords of"diabetic ulcer,medicinal herb,inflammation,interleukin-1β,interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor,hypersensitive C-reactive protein,γ-interferon,interleukin-4,interleukin-10"in Chinese and English,respectively.The relevant literature in recent years was searched,and finally 75 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The high glucose environment of the body will increase the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines,so that diabetic ulcer wounds are in a state of chronic inflammatory response for a long time,and difficult to heal or even not heal.TCM has summed up a lot of experience in the long-term struggle with diabetic ulcer.At present,TCM divides diabetic ulcers into four syndrome types:dampness and heat poison syndrome,blood and blood stasis obstruction pattern,heat poison injury Yin pattern,and Qi and blood deficiency syndrome,as well as representative prescriptions for treatment.According to their clinical characteristics,diabetic ulcers can be also divided into three stages:primary,middle and late stages.Different treatment methods are proposed:"clear method,""warm and clear combined use"and"maintenance method."Under the guidance of dialectical typing and staging of TCM,TCM monomers,extracts and compounds inhibit the inflammatory response and promote the healing of diabetic ulcers by down-regulating the expression of pro-inflammatory factors and/or up-regulating the expression of anti-inflammatory factors.Compared with modern medicine,TCM has significant advantages in the treatment of diabetic ulcers.There are many TCM monomers,extracts and compounds for the treatment of diabetic ulcers,such as angelica,curcumin,improved Chonghe ointment,Sanhuang blood exhaustion prescription and sore-ulcer I.formula,etc.It has been found that TCM for the treatment of diabetic ulcers is mainly heat-clearing and detoxifying,invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis,and amassing sores and muscle-building drugs,and the frequency of use,treatment scope and therapeutic effect of TCM compounds are obviously better than those of TCM monomers and extracts.Among them,the most commonly used are the Sanhuang blood exhaustion prescription and the sore-ulcer I as well as prescription for the treatment of damp heat toxicity syndrome and Zizhu ointment for the treatment of non-ischemic diabetic ulcers.However,there are also some shortcomings in the treatment of diabetic ulcers with TCM.First,there are few clinical syndrome studies on diabetic ulcers.Secondly,there are a wide variety of TCM monomers,extracts and compounds for the treatment of diabetic ulcers,and the relevant research is insufficiently in-depth.Finally,the research on the mechanism underlying TCM treatment of diabetic ulcers is still in the preliminary exploration stage,and the mechanism of action still needs to be further explored.In the future,it is necessary to strengthen the research on the pharmacology of TCM and the clinical syndrome of diabetic ulcers,analyze the potential targets and related signaling pathways of TCM in the treatment of diabetic ulcers,give full play to the therapeutic advantages of TCM with multiple targets,multiple pathways,multiple levels and multiple systems,and develop TCM with significant efficacy,active ingredients and clear targets.

Objectives To analyze the spatial and temporal aggregation of multidrug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (MDR-TB) incidence in Nanning at the township / street scale from 2017 to 2021, to explore the spatial and temporal characteristics of the spread of MDR-TB in Nanning, and to provide a scientific reference basis for the health administrative departments to achieve the precise implementation of MDR-TB prevention and control. Methods Based on the data of MDR-TB cases in Nanning from 2017 to 2021, the spatial-temporal scanning analysis software SaTScan v9.7 was used to retrospectively detect and analyze the areas where MDR-TB cases gathered. Results Through simple spatial scanning analysis, it was found that there were three first-class aggregation areas (the aggregation center was Fujiayuan Street, Jiangnan District, 2017, Xinyang Street, Xixiangtang District, 2019, and Zhonghe Town, Yongning District, 2020), and one second-class aggregation area (the aggregation center was Jinchai Town, Mashan County, 2020). Simple time scanning showed that the clustering occurred from May 2019 to December 2020. Temporal and spatial aggregation analysis showed that Xinyang Street in Xixiangtang District was the center of the first-class aggregation area, Zhonghe Town in Yongning District was the center of the second-class aggregation area, and Jinchai Town in Mashan County was the center of the third-class aggregation area. Conclusion The multidrug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis epidemic in Nanning is distributed in an aggregated manner, especially in Xinyang Street, Xixiangtang District, which has the highest spatial and temporal aggregation. It is necessary to focus on and take regional prevention and control measures to control the epidemic.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To investigate the condition of confidential unit exclusion(CUE) in Guangzhou, so as to ensure blood safety. 【Methods】 The number of CUE donors, demographic characteristics of CUE donors, reasons for CUE, and response time of CUE after blood donation in Guangzhou from 2009 to 2022 were statistically analyzed. 【Results】 From 2009 to 2022, the response ratios of CUE was 0.006 2% (260/4 170 984) and the ratios had statistically significant difference between different years(P0.05), but statistically significant differences were found in age, number of blood donations, education background, and marital status (P<0.05). Blood donors aged 18~30 (0.007 3%, P<0.05) and first-time blood donors (0.010 8%, P<0.05) were the main groups of CUE. High risk sexual behavior (28.46%, 74/260) was the primary reason for CUE. The CUE response peak was within 72 hours after blood donation, and the response ratios within 24-72 hours after blood donation was the highest (68.46%, 178/260). 【Conclusion】 CUE is a crucial measure to ensure blood safety. Detailed pre-donation health consultations are suggested for blood donors aged 18-30 and first-time blood donors so as to better excluding high-risk blood donors. Strengthening the publicity of CUE response and process, registering and classifying the reasons for CUE are also important.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To establish and verify a new nucleic acid extraction method for OBI detection with large volume and high sensitivity, and apply it in the quantitative determination of OBI samples with low viral load. 【Methods】 The method for nucleic acid extraction with large volume was established based on the method of Roche nucleic acid detection kit. HBV standards were configured into 10 000 IU/mL, 1 000 IU/mL, 100 IU/mL, 10 IU/mL and 1 IU/mL respectively, and nucleic acid was extracted from the 10 mL standards by magnetic beads. CT values of each concentration were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR and each concentration gradient was detected in parallel duplicates. The logarithm of virus concentration was taken as the X-axis and the average CT values of two tests were taken as the Y-axis to construct the fluorescence quantitative standard curve and regression equation. Three repeated experiments were conducted to verify the stability of the method. This method was used to extract nucleic acid from OBI samples with low viral load, and fluorescence quantification was performed. 【Results】 The amplification efficiency of fluorescence quantitative standard curves ranged from 90% to 105%, and the regression equation was greater than 0.99. The variation coefficients of variation of CT values were 0.63%, 0.78%, 1.52%, 1.36% and 0.78%, respectively. This method can extract nucleic acid from OBI samples with viral load of 1 IU/mL for quantification. 【Conclusion】 The detection limit of HBV nucleic acid quantitative detection system can reach 1 IU/mL, and it has strong stability and high sensitivity, which can be used for the quantitative detection of OBI with low viral load.
RESUMO
Flap surgery is an important method to repair large open wounds in trauma and plastic surgery. However， flap necrosis is a common issue. Good blood circulation that provides nutrition is a necessary condition for the survival of the flap. Promoting revascularization， establishing blood circulation， and restoring blood perfusion as soon as possible after flap transplantation is crucial for flap survival. However， revascularization/blood reperfusion can cause flap ischemia-reperfusion injury （FIRI） after flap repair. If FIRI is not treated correctly and timely， it can cause flap necrosis and graft failure eventually. Previous studies have shown that the signaling pathways related to cell proliferation and apoptosis， such as the Notch signaling pathway， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） signaling pathway， and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt） signaling pathway， and inflammation-related pathways， such as nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 （Nrf2） signaling pathway， and nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway can promote angiogenesis， improve local blood supply， inhibit the production and expression of inflammatory mediators， reduce oxidative stress and apoptosis， relieve ischemia-reperfusion injury （IRI）， and promote rapid healing after flap repair. By consulting a large number of modern medical research literature， this study reveals that both Chinese medicine monomers and Chinese medicine compounds can promote revascularization， restore blood perfusion， and accelerate healing after flap repair by regulating the expression of key protein molecules in the above-mentioned signaling pathways. This study summarized the research status in China and abroad， aiming to provide references for the in-depth study and clinical application of Chinese medicine to promote the healing of skin flaps after repair.
RESUMO
Objective: To development the prognostic nomogram for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Methods: Two hundred and ten patients pathologically confirmed as MPM were enrolled in this retrospective study from 2007 to 2020 in the People's Hospital of Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, the First and Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, and divided into training (n=112) and test (n=98) sets according to the admission time. The observation factors included demography, symptoms, history, clinical score and stage, blood cell and biochemistry, tumor markers, pathology and treatment. The Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the prognostic factors of 112 patients in the training set. According to the results of multivariate Cox regression analysis, the prognostic prediction nomogram was established. C-Index and calibration curve were used to evaluate the model's discrimination and consistency in raining and test sets, respectively. Patients were stratified according to the median risk score of nomogram in the training set. Log rank test was performed to compare the survival differences between the high and low risk groups in the two sets. Results: The median overall survival (OS) of 210 MPM patients was 384 days (IQR=472 days), and the 6-month, 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year survival rates were 75.7%, 52.6%, 19.7%, and 13.0%, respectively. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that residence (HR=2.127, 95% CI: 1.154-3.920), serum albumin (HR=1.583, 95% CI: 1.017-2.464), clinical stage (stage Ⅳ: HR=3.073, 95% CI: 1.366-6.910) and the chemotherapy (HR=0.476, 95% CI: 0.292-0.777) were independent prognostic factors for MPM patients. The C-index of the nomogram established based on the results of Cox multivariate regression analysis in the training and test sets were 0.662 and 0.613, respectively. Calibration curves for both the training and test sets showed moderate consistency between the predicted and actual survival probabilities of MPM patients at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years. The low-risk group had better outcomes than the high-risk group in both training (P=0.001) and test (P=0.003) sets. Conclusion: The survival prediction nomogram established based on routine clinical indicators of MPM patients provides a reliable tool for prognostic prediction and risk stratification.

Alzheimer's disease （AD） is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by mechanisms including excessive deposition of β amyloid （Aβ）， neuroinflammatory responses， and hyperphosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein （Tau protein）. Currently， there are no effective clinical treatments available for AD. Traditional Chinese herbal drugs have gained attention for their potential to exert anti-AD effects through multi-component， multi-target approaches. As a traditional Chinese herbal drug with over 600 years of clinical use， Geranii Herba has substantial medicinal potential and wide application prospects. Geranium medicinal plants contain chemical components such as tannins， flavonoids， organic acids， and volatile oils. Research has indicated that various tannin compounds found in Geranii Herba possess pharmacological activities like enhancing learning and memory abilities， and improving cognitive function. These effects are linked to mechanisms involving anti-Aβ effects， Tau protein regulation， antioxidation， anti-inflammation， and inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity. These compounds can act through multiple pathways and targets to inhibit neurodegenerative changes in neurons， thus effectively preventing and treating neurodegenerative diseases like AD. Based on relevant literature， this study focused on reviewing various tannin components in Geranium plants and their role in preventing and treating AD and identified potential drug components for treating neurodegenerative diseases such as AD by exploring the tannin components and their mechanisms in Geranium plants， thereby providing a theoretical foundation and research direction for further development and clinical application.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore MRI T 2-mapping and blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) to evaluate the functional changes of paraspinal muscle in rats with discogenic low back pain (DLBP) after swimming. Methods:Totally 54 female 1-month-old SD rats were selected, which were divided into 3 groups by random number table method, sham operation (Sham) group, DLBP non-swimming group and DLBP swimming group, with 18 rats in each group. Under the guidance of X-ray fluoroscopy, the L4/5 and L5/6 intervertebral discs of the rats in the DLBP non-swimming group and DLBP swimming group were punctured by the posterior approach, and establishment of DLBP rat model by destroying nucleus pulposus, and only paraspinal muscles at the same level were punctured in the Sham group. After modeling, the DLBP swimming group received swimming exercise intervention for 5 consecutive days (30 min/d), while the DLBP non-swimming group and Sham group did not receive any rehabilitation exercise intervention. Each group was divided into 3 time point subgroups on average, the T 2-mapping and BOLD sequences were scanned at 30, 90 and 180 days after modeling to obtain the T 2 value, R 2* value of the paraspinal muscles, and the paraspinal muscles at the modeling level were taken for immunofluorescence staining, and the fluorescence intensity of myosin heavy chain (MYH)1 (type Ⅱ muscle fiber) and MYH7 (type I muscle fiber) was analyzed. One-way analysis of variance was used for comparison among the 3 groups, and the Bonferroni method was used for multiple comparisons, and Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between quantitative MRI parameters T 2 value, R 2* value and MYH1, MYH7 immunofluorescence intensity of rat paraspinal muscles at 180 days after modeling. Results:At 30 days after modeling, there was no significant difference in T 2 value and R 2* value among the 3 groups (all P>0.05). At 90 days after modeling, the T 2 value of the DLBP swimming group was higher than that of the DLBP non-swimming group, and the T 2 value of the DLBP non-swimming group was lower than that of the Sham group (all P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the R 2* value among the 3 groups ( P>0.05). At 180 days after modeling, the T 2 value of the DLBP swimming group was higher than that of the DLBP non-swimming group, and the R 2* value was lower than that of the DLBP non-swimming group; the T 2 value of the DLBP non-swimming group was lower than that of the Sham group, and the R 2* value was higher than that of the Sham group (all P<0.05). At 30 and 90 days after modeling, there was no significant difference in the expressions of MYH1 and MYH7 among the 3 groups (all P>0.05). At 180 days after modeling, the expression of MYH1 decreased and the expression of MYH7 increased in the DLBP swimming group compared with the DLBP non-swimming group; the expression of MYH1 increased and the expression of MYH7 decreased in the DLBP non-swimming group compared with the Sham group (all P<0.05). At 180 days after modeling, the T 2 value had a moderate negative correlation with the fluorescence intensity of MYH1 ( r=-0.511, P=0.043), and a moderate positive correlation with the fluorescence intensity of MYH7 ( r=0.564, P=0.023); R 2* value was moderate positive correlated with the fluorescence intensity of MYH1 ( r=0.625, P=0.010), and moderate negative correlated with the fluorescence intensity of MYH7 ( r=-0.653, P=0.006). Conclusions:Swimming exercise can improve the reduction of water content and perfusion in the paraspinal muscles of DLBP rats, and reduce the transformation of muscle fibers from type Ⅰ to type Ⅱ, the changes of T 2 and R 2* value can reflect the transformation of paraspinal muscle fiber types to a certain extent.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of ubiquitin binding enzyme 2T (UBE2T) on the radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma and unravel its possible mechanism.Methods:A total of 45 patients pathologically diagnosed with different stages of lung adenocarcinoma and treated with radiotherapy in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from March, 2019 to December, 2021 were enrolled, and the efficacy was evaluated according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST1.1). All patients were divided into radiosensitive group ( n=25) and radioresistant group ( n=20). Radiosensitive group was complete remission (CR)+partial remission (PR), and radioresistant group was stable disease (SD) + progression disease (PD). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to calculate the score based on the staining intensity and the number of positive cells. Chi-square test was combined to analyze the correlation between the expression level of UBE2T in paraffin specimens of lung adenocarcinoma patients and the radiosensitivity of patients. Lentivirus UBE2T-interfered (UBE2Tsh) A549 and UBE2T-overexpressed SPC-A-1 lung adenocarcinoma cells and their respective controls were constructed for irradiation and colony formation assay. The survivor fraction curve was fitted by single-hit multi-target model. The DNA double-strand break (DSB) marker γH2AX foci were detected by immunofluorescence (IF). The expression levels of UBE2T, γH 2AX and Rad51 proteins were detected by Western blot. Cell cycle and apoptosis rate of A549 were determined by flow cytometry. Binary variables were statistically analyzed by Fisher's exact probability method and measurement data were assessed by t-test. Results:High-expression level of UBE2T was correlated with the radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma patients ( P<0.05). UBE2Tsh improved the radiosensitivity of A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells, and the sensitizing enhancement ratio (SER) was 1.795. UBE2T overexpression decreased the radiosensitivity of SPC-A-1 lung adenocarcinoma cells with an SER of 0.293. γH2AX foci number per cell were significantly increased in UBE2Tsh A549 cells after irradiation ( P<0.01) . Compared with the control group, the expression level of γH2AX protein was up-regulated ( P<0.01)and that of Rad51 protein was down-regulated in UBE2Tsh A549 cells after radiation ( P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the expression level of γH2AX protein was down-regulated ( P<0.05) and that of Rad51 protein was up-regulated in UBE2T overexpressed SPC-A-1 cells ( P<0.001). The proportion of UBE2Tsh A549 cells in G 2 phase was decreased ( P<0.01) and cell apoptosis was increased ( P<0.001). Conclusions:UBE2T might promote the radioresistance of lung adenocarcinoma cells by enhancing DNA DSB repair induced by radiotherapy, inducing cell cycle G 2 phase arrest, and reducing cell apoptosis.
RESUMO
Objective Tandem Mass Tag(TMT)in vitro quantitative proteomics technology was used to study the mechanism of Xiaozhongzhitong Mixture in the treatment of rat skin flap ischemia-reperfusion injury(FIRI).Methods Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group,a model group,and a Xiaozhongzhitong mixture group(Xiaozhong group),with 10 rats in each group.After intraperitoneal anesthesia,the model group and Xiaozhong group were completely freed with a pedicled skin flap of about 5 cm*6 cm in size on the back to simulate FIRI;the Xiaozhong group was given Xiaozhongzhitong Mixture(1.8 mL·kg-1)by gavage,once a day,the normal group and the model group were given normal saline(1.8 mL·kg-1)by gavage,once a day,and the rats in the three groups were continuously gavaged for 7 days;after 7 days,the dorsal skin flaps of the rats were collected for TMT proteomics analysis,screen out the differential proteins,perform Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment analysis,pathway enrichment(KEGG)analysis,common differential protein analysis,and establish Protein-Protein Interaction(PPI)network analysis.Results In this experiment,a total of 5005 proteins were screened by protein quantification,of which 4996 proteins were identified,and 141 up-regulated and 132 down-regulated differentially expressed proteins were screened out between the detumescence group/model group.GO enrichment analysis found that the differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in molecular mechanisms such as organism cell metabolism,occurrence and combination of cellular components,catabolism,organelle formation,mitochondria formation,intracellular substance catalysis,molecular binding,hydrolase activation,and nucleotide regulation.KEGG pathway analysis found that the differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in signaling pathways such as organismal cell metabolism,ribosome transcription and translation,proteasome system,and cell cycle.PPI analysis found that the differentially expressed co-expressed proteins Mrpl32,Psma2,Mrpl34,Psma4,Psmb1,and Srp9 were located at key nodes of the interaction network.Conclusion The treatment of FIRI with Xiaozhongzhitong Mixture may be related to the mitochondrial ribosome-related signaling pathway and the 20S proteasome system signaling pathway,among which the differential proteins Mrpl32,Psma2,Mrpl34,Psma4 and Psmb1 may be the key targets of treatment.
RESUMO
In this study, the ovarian surgery (ovariectomy, OVX) was used to establish the osteoporosis mice model of primary menstruation, in order to evaluate the protective effects and mechanisms of Zhibai Dihuang decotion on postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). The animal experimental protocol has been reviewed and approved by Laboratory Animal Ethics Committee of Jinan University (number: 20210315-03), in compliance with the Institutional Animal Care Guidelines. C57BL/6 mice were divided into five groups, including Sham group, OVX group, low (32 g·kg-1·day-1) and high dose (64 g·kg-1·day-1) of Zhibai Dihuang decotion groups, positive drug group (alendronate, 9.9 mg·kg-1·q3d). After modeling, mice were given medication intervention for 8 weeks, and then femoral and tibial tissues were taken to detect indicators such as bone microstructure, bone resorption, and oxidative stress. The experimental results showed that after Zhibai Dihuang decotion administration, the bone microstructure damage caused by OVX surgery was alleviated, and the relevant parameters bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume/total volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb. N) and connectivity density (Conn. D) both significantly increased. At the same time, the number of TRAP positive osteoclasts decreased significantly, and the levels of proteins and genes related to osteoclast differentiation decreased, indicating that Zhibai Dihuang decoction could inhibit the increased activity of osteoclast caused by OVX. Afterwards, network pharmacology was used to construct the active compound action target network of Zhibai Dihuang decotion, and it was found that the target genes of its active ingredients were closely related to the oxidative stress pathway. Finally, the detection results of oxidative stress levels in bone tissues showed that after treatment with Zhibai Dihuang decotion, the levels of oxidative stress products 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in bone tissues of mice significantly decreased, while the levels of antioxidant stress substance L-glutathione (GSH) increased. These above results indicated that Zhibai Dihuang decotion can regulate the level of oxidative stress in the body and inhibit osteoclast activity, which played a therapeutic role in PMOP, as well as provided theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of PMOP with traditional Chinese medicine.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To explore the pathogenesis of fetal edema caused by CD36 antibody in fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT), and to provide reference for clinical prevention and treatment. 【Methods】 The established CD36 monoclonal antibody was incubated with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and the concentrations of cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) in the supernatant of cell culture were detected by ELISA. The permeability of endothelial cells were investigated by detecting the fluorescence intensity of FITC-albumin by incubating cytokine-rich cell supernatant with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). 【Results】 Flow cytometry showed that CD36 monoclonal antibody could bind to human monocytes. Compared with isotype IgG control, increased cytokine TNF-α (pg/mL) (407.73±20.40 vs 29.38 ±4.72, P<0.05) and IL-1β (pg/mL) (247.14±83.59 vs 53.68±26.96, P<0.05) were detected in the supernatant of cell culture after incubation of CD36 monoclonal antibody with human PBMC. Detection of fluorescence intensity of FITC-albumin in transwell cultured HUVEC showed that cytokine-rich cell supernatant derived from CD36 monoclonal antibody incubated with human PBMC can increase the permeability of endothelial cells significantly (CD36 antibody vs isotype IgG, MFI value: 492±16 vs 320±11, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The effect of CD36 monoclonal antibody on PBMC can increase HUVEC permeability, which may be one of the pathogenesis of fetal edema with FNAIT.

Objective@#To analyze the spatial temporal distribution characteristics of tuberculosis among high school students at county levels in Gansu Province from 2018 to 2022,so as to provide a scientific basis for tuberculosis prevention and control in schools.@*Methods@#Tuberculosis data from high school students in counties (districts) reported in Gansu Province from 2018 to 2022 was collected from the Tuberculosis Information Management System and Infectious Disease Information Reporting System of the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information Management System. Demographic data of high school students in counties (districts) came from the General Management System of the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information Management System, and the spatial clustering of the reported incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis among high school students in Gansu Province in the past five years was analyzed using the methods of global spatial autocorrelation (Moran s I) and local indicators of spatial audocorrelation(LISA).@*Results@#A total of 41 885 pulmonary tuberculosis cases were reported in various counties of Gansu Province From 2018 to 2022, with an average reported incidence rate of 32.81/100 000. During the same period, 1 170 high school students cases were reported, with an average reported incidence rate of 13.72/100 000. With the exception of 2020, the reported incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis among high school students was non random distribution in other 4 years, showed a moderate intensity of spatial clustering. From 2018 to 2022, most counties in Gansu Province reported that the incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis among high school students was 10.00/100 000 or below, the counties with reported incidence rate >40.00/100 000 were mainly distributed in Luqu County, Maqu County, Diebu County, Hezuo City, Xiahe County of Gannan Prefecture, Gangu County and Wushan County of Tianshui Prefecture, Wenxian County and Kangxian County of Longnan Prefecture, Huachi County of Pingliang Prefecture, Huanxian County of Qingyang Prefecture. The number of counties where the reported incidence rate of tuberculosis among high school students more than 30.00/100 000 gradually decreased from 2018 to 2022. In the past five years, the reported incidence rate of tuberculosis among high school students in all counties of Gannan Prefecture remained above 40.00/ 100 000 . The LISA analysis results showed that the high incidence areas were mainly concentrated in Gannan Prefecture.@*Conclusions@#The epidemic situation of pulmonary tuberculosis among high school students in Gansu province from 2018 to 2022 is still a serious condition, showing the characteristics of unbalanced regional distribution. The reported incidence rate shows a strong spatial clustering, and the hot spots are concentrated in the counties (districts) of Gannan prefecture in Gansu Province.
RESUMO
Myocardial dysfunction is the most serious complication of sepsis. Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SMD) is often associated with gastrointestinal dysfunction, but its pathophysiological significance remains unclear. The present study found that patients with SMD had higher plasma gastrin concentrations than those without SMD. In mice, knockdown of the gastrin receptor, cholecystokinin B receptor (Cckbr), aggravated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiac dysfunction and increased inflammation in the heart, whereas the intravenous administration of gastrin ameliorated SMD and cardiac injury. Macrophage infiltration plays a significant role in SMD because depletion of macrophages by the intravenous injection of clodronate liposomes, 48 h prior to LPS administration, alleviated LPS-induced cardiac injury in Cckbr-deficient mice. The intravenous injection of bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) overexpressing Cckbr reduced LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction. Furthermore, gastrin treatment inhibited toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression through the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR-α) signaling pathway in BMMs. Thus, our findings provide insights into the mechanism of the protective role of gastrin/CCKBR in SMD, which could be used to develop new treatment modalities for SMD.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the efficacy of Chinese plaster containing rhubarb and mirabilite on surgical site infection (SSI) in patients with cesarean delivery (CD) by performing a randomized controlled trial.@*METHODS@#This randomized controlled trial included 560 patients with CD due to fetal head descent enrolled at a tertiary teaching center between December 31, 2018 and October 31, 2021. Eligible patients were randomly assigned to a Chinese medicine (CM) group (280 cases) or a placebo group (280 cases) by a random number table, and were treated with CM plaster (made by rhubarb and mirabilite) or a placebo plaster, respectively. Both courses of treatment lasted from the day 1 of CD, followed day 2 until discharge. The primary outcome was the total number of patients with superficial, deep and organ/space SSI. The secondary outcome was duration of postoperative hospital stay, antibiotic intake, and unplanned readmission or reoperation due to SSI. All reported efficacy and safety outcomes were confirmed by a central adjudication committee that was unaware of the study-group assignments.@*RESULTS@#During the recovery process after CD, the rates of localized swelling, redness and heat were significantly lower in the CM group than in the placebo group [7.55% (20/265) vs. 17.21% (47/274), P<0.01]. The durution of postoperative antibiotic intake was shorter in the CM group than in the placebo group (P<0.01). The duration of postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the CM group than in the placebo group (5.49 ± 2.68 days vs. 8.96 ± 2.35 days, P<0.01). The rate of postoperative C-reactive protein elevation (≽100 mg/L) was lower in the CM group than in the placebo group [27.6% (73/265) vs. 43.8% (120/274), P<0.01]. However, there was no difference in purulent drainage rate from incision and superficial opening of incision between the two groups. No intestinal reactions and skin allergies were found in the CM group.@*CONCLUSIONS@#CM plaster containing rhubarb and mirabilite had an effect on SSI. It is safe for mothers and imposes lower economic and mental burdens on patients undergoing CD. (Registration No. ChiCTR2100054626).

Objective: To explore the value of catheter-based adrenal ablation in treating Cushing's syndrome (CS)-associated hypertension. Methods: A clinical study was conducted in patients with CS, who received catheter-based adrenal ablation between March 2018 and July 2023 in Daping Hospital. Parameters monitored were blood pressure (outpatient and 24-hour ambulatory), body weight, clinical characteristics, serum cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) at 8 am, 24-hour urinary free cortisol (24 h UFC), fasting blood glucose and postoperative complications. Procedure effectiveness was defined as blood pressure returning to normal levels (systolic blood pressure<140 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and diastolic blood pressure<90 mmHg), cortisol and 24 h UFC returning to normal and improvement of clinical characteristics. The parameters were monitored during follow up in the outpatient department at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after catheter-based adrenal ablation. Results: A total of 12 patients (aged (40.0±13.2) years) were reviewed. There were 5 males, with 5 cases of adenoma and 7 with hyperplasia from imaging studies. Catheter-based adrenal ablation was successful in all without interruption or surgical conversion. No postoperative complication including bleeding, puncture site infection, adrenal artery rupture or adrenal bleeding was observed. The mean follow up was 28 months. Compared to baseline values, body weight declined to (59.48±11.65) kg from (64.81±10.75) kg (P=0.008), fasting blood glucose declined to (4.54±0.83) mmol from (5.53±0.99) mmol (P=0.044), outpatient systolic blood pressure declined to (128±21) mmHg from (140±19) mmHg (P=0.005), diastolic blood pressure declined to (78±10) mmHg from (86±11) mmHg (P=0.041), and the mean ambulatory daytime diastolic blood pressure declined to (79±12) mmHg from (89±8) mmHg (P=0.034). Catheter-based adrenal ablation in 8 patients was defined as effective with their 24 h UFC significantly reduced after the procedure (1 338.41±448.06) mmol/L from (633.66±315.94) mmol/L, P=0.011). The change of 24 h UFC between the effective treatment group and ineffective group was statistically significant (P=0.020). The postoperative systolic blood pressure in the treated adenoma group was significantly lower than those of hyperplasia group (112±13) mmHg vs. (139±20) mmHg, P=0.026). Conclusions: For patients with CS-associated hypertension who are unwilling or unable to undergo surgical treatment, catheter-based adrenal ablation could improve the blood pressure and cortisol level. Catheter-based adrenal ablation could be a safe, effective, and minimally invasive therapy. However, our results still need to be validated in further large-scale studies.
