Objective To investigate the mechanism of abdominal massage for treating chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS).Methods Thirty clean-grade female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the normal control,model control,and abdominal massage groups(n=10 rats per group).The CFS rat model was established through cold water swimming combined with the chronic restraint method in the model control and abdominal massage groups.The rats in the abdominal massage group were treated with the core techniques of Jingu zang-fu massage,namely layer press"Guanyuan"(CV4)for 8 min and Tuanmo"Zhongwan"(CV12)for 12 min as the primary intervention techniques,once a day for 14 consecutive days.The rats in the two control groups did not receive intervention;however,they were bound to the experimental bench when the experimental group was massaged.After the intervention,the indexes of the main organs of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal(HPA)axis and hippocampal cell apoptosis in each group were measured.The morphology of hippocampal cells in each group was observed using Nissl staining of hippocampal tissue and transmission electron microscopy of hippocampal neurons.Results The index of each organ in the model control group was upregulated(P<0.01)compared to that of the normal control group.In contrast,the index of each organ in the abdominal massage group was downregulated(P<0.01)compared with that of the model control group.Compared to the normal control group,the index of each organ in the abdominal massage group was upregulated;however,the difference was not significant.Compared to the normal control group,the cell nuclei in the model control group were significantly consolidated,the nuclear membrane structure was ruptured,and the margins were irregular.Most of the cell morphology in the abdominal massage group was normal compared with that of the model control group,and a small number of nuclear membrane structures were unclear.Compared to the normal control group,the hippocampal neuronal cell in the other two groups was significantly damaged,and the hippocampal neuronal cell in the abdominal massage group was in good condition compared to the model control group.The degree of neuronal apoptosis in the model control group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group(P<0.01).The degree of neuronal apoptosis in the abdominal massage group decreased compared to that of the model control group(P<0.01),which was slightly higher than that in the normal control group but not significant.Conclusion Cold water swimming combined with chronic restraint can simulate CFS in rats,and abdominal massage can reduce the organ index of the hypothalamus,pituitary gland,and adrenal gland,increase hippocampal cell activity,reduce hippocampal tissue damage,inhibit hippocampal cell apoptosis,and maintain the normal physiological function of hippocampal neurons.

3.Research status of small ubiquitin-like molecules modification in lung development
The Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology 2024;40(4):624-628
Small ubiquitin-like molecules(SUMO)regulate the function of a variety of cells by binding to target proteins.SUMO modification plays an important role in embryonic development,including heart,brain,liver,etc.Factors involved in lung development and maturation are regulated by SUMO modification,such as hypoxia-inducible factor,CCAAT enhancer-binding protein α,forkhead box protein M1,vascular endothelial-derived growth factor,and bone morphogenetic protein 4,thus affecting their activities and stabilities.Therefore,the SUMO modification status of target protein is the key to explore the development process of fetal lung.In this paper,we reviewed the research literature of SUMO mediated lung development in recent years,and combined with the research basis of our research group for many years,reviewed the factors regulating lung development and the SUMO status,in order to provide ideas for the study of drugs for effective prevention and treatment of pulmonary dysplasia.

6.Research progress on roles of ferroptosis in chemotherapy resistance in leukemia
Chinese Journal of Comparative Medicine 2024;34(7):157-167
Chemotherapy resistance in leukemia is an urgent clinical therapeutic challenge.Ferroptosis is a unique mode of cell death driven by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation.Leukemia is characterized by increased oxidative stress and iron overload,suggesting that leukemia cells might be susceptible to ferroptosis and indicating a possible therapeutic approach.Ferroptosis has been extensively studied in recent years and used in the treatment of various types of leukemia.Several studies have demonstrated an association between the regulatory pathways of ferroptosis and the mechanisms of leukemia drug resistance.The induction of ferroptosis through different pathways can effectively reduce the resistance of various types of leukemia cells to chemotherapeutic drugs,and thus improve their clinical efficacy.In this article,we review the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis and analyze the association between oxidative stress and iron metabolism pathways of ferroptosis and the mechanism of leukemia drug resistance.We also summarize the experimental studies and clinical applications of ferroptosis for the treatment of various types of drug-resistant leukemias,with the aim of providing new ideas and directions for the study of ferroptosis and a new strategy to reverse chemotherapy resistance in patients with leukemia in the future.

Astrocytes are heavily activated in Alzheimer's disease,engulfing damaged synapses,Aβ proteins,Tau proteins,apoptotic cells and other substrates.However,these substrates are difficult to degrade,accumulate as the disease progresses,and impair the phagocytosis of astrocytes.During phagocytosis,astrocytes recognize different substrates through a variety of phagocytosis receptors and partially degrade the substrates through degrad-ing enzymes and lysosomal pathways.The accumulation of Aβ and Tau proteins in astrocytes caused astrocyte im-mune and metabolic disorders,and Aβ toxicity changed after phagocytosis.In addition,astrocytes and microglia form a complementary pattern and cooperate to complete phagocytosis through interaction.Regulating the pathway of astrocyte phagocytosis and degradation is believed to be a potential novo therapeutic for clinical treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
