OBJECTIVETo detect potential mutations of fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene in a child with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and explore its molecular pathogenesis.

METHODSThe 66 exons of the FBN1 gene were analyzed by direct sequencing. SIFT and PolyPhen-2 were used to predict the structural and functional changes at the protein level.

RESULTSA novel heterozygous mutation c.3998 G>A (p.Cys1333Tyr) was found in exon 32 in the child. The same mutation was not found among his unaffected family members and 683 healthy controls. Multiple sequence alignment showed that this novel mutation was located in a highly conserved region of the FBN1 protein across various species and may induce structural change to a functional domain.

CONCLUSIONThe novel c.3998G>A (p.Cys1333Tyr) mutation of the FBN1 gene probably predisposed the MFS in the child. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of FBN1 mutations.

To study the effects of nucleoside antiviral drug zidovudine (AZT) on the flexibility of global metabolism and liver glucolipid metabolic balance in mice, male ICR mice were given zidovudine intragastric administration for 12 weeks, and their water and food intake was recorded daily.Serum glucose (GLU) and triglyceride (TG) levels and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were detected after 12 weeks of administration.Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT) were performed.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of liver.The gene levels of glucose transporter (Glut2), carnitine palmitate transferase (Cpt1α), medium chain acyl-coa dehydrogenase (Mcad), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pepck) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6pase) were detected by RT-PCR.Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of insulin signaling Akt, P-Akt, Glut2, Mcad and Cpt1α in liver.The results showed that zidovudine significantly decreased lipid metabolism, impaired glucose tolerance, increased liver cell volume, significantly increased liver triglyceride (TG) and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) content, increased Glut2 gene expression, down-regulated fatty acid oxidative metabolism genes Cpt1α, Mcad and gluconeogenesis related genes after fasting, and down-regulated protein expression of Cpt1α.The results suggest that zidovudine can induce the disorder of glucose and lipid metabolism after fasting in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To analyse the prognosis and risk factors of lung cancer with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in Tongchuan City, and to provide a theoretical basis for improving the prognosis of patients with lung cancer complicated with AECOPD. Methods A total of 280 patients with lung cancer combined with AECOPD admitted to Tongchuan People's Hospital from January 2021 to August 2022 were selected and divided into survival group and death group according to whether the patients survived during hospitalization. Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1) and other tumor markers were compared between the two groups. Lung function was measured by lung function instruments, and the levels of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC and other lung function indicators were compared between the two groups. The patients' clinical data were collected from the medical record system, and univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with lung cancer complicated with AECOP. Results The values of FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC in the death group were significantly lower than those in the survival group (P<0.05). Serum CEA and CYFRA 21-1 levels in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group (P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that albumin level <35 g/L (OR=2.728), TNM stage III to IV (OR=2.416), multidrug-resistant bacterial infection (OR=2.982), and GOLD grade III to IV (OR=3.417) were independent risk factors for death in patients with lung cancer complicated with AECOPD in Tongchuan City (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with lung cancer complicated with AECOPD in Tongchuan City have a high risk of death during hospitalization, especially patients with TNM stage III to IV and GOLD grade III to IV. Multi-drug resistant bacteria infection should be actively controlled to improve the albumin level of patients, which is conducive to the prognosis of patients.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE：To study the effects of the extract of Xiongmatang on 5-HT and CGRP in brain tissue of rats with liver-yang hyperactivity and blood stagnation migraine. METHODS：Fifty male spontaneously hypertension （SHR） rats were randomly divided into model control group，Zhengtian pill positive control group （1.6 g/kg），the extract of Xiongmatang low-dose，medium-dose and high-dose groups（4.5，9.0，18.0 g/kg，by crude drug），with 10 rats in each group. Another 10 normal rats were taken as normal control group. Administration group was given relevant medicine intragastrically，once a day，for consecutive 28 d. Normal control group and model control group were given equal volume normal saline intragastrically. After last administration，except for normal control group，other groups were used to stimulate trigeminal ganglia（10 min）to establish liver-yang hyperactivity and blood stagnation migraine model，and maintained the administration once more after making the model. 30 min later，general behavior and tongue quality of rats were observed，and the blood pressure was measured；the contents of 5-HT and CGRP in cerebral tissue of rats were determined by ELISA. The protein expression of CGRP in cerebral tissue of rats were determined by Western blot method. RESULTS： Compared with the normal control group， the rats in the model control group had behavioral symptoms，such as the color of conjunctiva deepened and reddened， excessive hairdressing，head flicking，and most of the rats had purple tongue；the systolic pressure and the content and protein expression of CGRP were all increased obviously（P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， while the content of 5-HT in cerebral tissue was decreased obviously（P＜0.01）. Compared with model control group，general behavior and tongue quality of rats were improved significantly in administration groups. Systolic pressure，the content and the protein expression of CGRP in cerebral tissue of rats were decreased significantly in Zhengtian pill positive control group and the extract of Xiongmatang high-dose group （P＜0.05），while the content of 5-HT in cerebral tissue of rats were increased significantly in Zhengtian pill positive control group，the extract of Xiongmatang medium-dose and high-dose groups（P＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS：The extract of Xiongmatang has obvious protective effect on liver-yang hyperactivity and blood stagnation migraine model rats，the mechanism of which may be associated with reducing the content of CGRP in cerebral tissue and raising the content of 5-HT in cerebral tissue

OBJECTIVE To expl ore the mechanism of effe ctive fractions from Xiongma decoction in the treatment of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang and blood stasis. METHODS Totally 70 male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group ， model group ，positive control group （Flunarizine hydrochloride capsules 0.9 mg/kg），low-dose and high-dose groups of Xiongma decoction effective fractions （ethyl acetate extract 0.87，3.46 g/kg，n-butanol extract 1.80，7.20 g/kg）. Except for normal group ， rats in other groups were given aconite decoction （2 g/kg），once a day ，for 4 consecutive weeks to establish the hyperactivity model of liver-yang. On the 15th day of modeling ，all administration groups were given corresponding drugs intragastrically at the same time ，once a day ，for 2 consecutive weeks. On the 29th day of modeling ，rats trigeminal ganglion was stimulated to establish the migraine model with hyperactivity of liver-yang and blood stasis ，then the medication was maintained for another time according to the above method. The macroscopic signs and behavior of the rats were observed ；positive expression ，mRNA and protein expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 （TRPV1），calcitonin generelated peptide （CGRP），calcitonin receptor-like receptor （CRLR） and receptor-associated membrane proteins 1 （RAMP1） in trigeminal cervical spinal complex （TCC） were detected by immunohistochemistry ，RT-qPCR and Western blot assay. RESULTS Rats in model group showed macrophysical signs and behaviora l manifestations related to migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang and blood stasis. Thirty minutes after last administration ，the above conditions of rats in Xiongma decoction effective fraction groups were improved significantly. Compared with normal group ， positive expression，mRNA and protein expression of TRPV 1，CGRP， CRLR and RAMP 1 in TCC of rats in the model group were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Compared with model zengguirong@hnse.org group， most of above indicators in Xiongma decoction effective fraction groups were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The mechanism of Xiongma decoction in preventing and treating migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang and blood stasis may be related to inhibit the activity of TRPV1-CGRP/CGRP receptor signaling pathway in TCC.
