Objective To investigate the impact of Qizhi Jiangtang Capsule (QZJT) on renal damage in diabetic nephropathy (DN) mice via NOD like receptors family pyrin domain containing 3/caspase-1/ Gasdermin D (NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD) signaling pathway. Methods Mice were randomly allocated into six experimental groups: a normal control group (NC), a diabetic nephropathy model group (DN), a low-dose QZJT treatment group (L-QZJT), a high-dose QZJT treatment group (H-QZJT), a positive control group administered Shenqi Jiangtang Granules (SQJT), and an ML385 group (treated with an inhibitor of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, Nrf2). Upon successful model induction, therapeutic interventions were commenced. Renal function impairment in the mice was evaluated through quantification of fasting blood glucose (FBG), 24-hour urinary albumin (UAlb), serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and the kidney-to-body mass ratio (K/B). Renal tissue pathology was evaluated using HE and PAS staining. Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 were quantified by ELISA. Levels of podocyte markers and proteins involved in relevant pathways were assessed using Western blot analysis. Results Compared with the NC group, FBG, 24 h UAlb, SCr, and BUN were increased in the DN group, and the K/B mass ratio was also increased. In contrast, compared with the DN group, FBG, 24 h UAlb, SCr, and BUN in both the low-dose (L-QZJT) and high-dose Quanzhou Jintang (H-QZJT) groups were decreased, and the K/B mass ratio was decreased as well. The therapeutic efficacy of H-QZJT was comparable to that of Shenqi Jiangtang Granules. QZJT ameliorated renal histopathological injury in DN mouse, increased the protein levels of Nephrin (a podocyte marker), and decreased the protein levels of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD (ASC), pro-caspase-1, and GSDMD-N. After ML385 treatment, renal cells exhibited swelling and morphological changes, the inflammatory infiltrate area was enlarged, the protein levels of NLRP3, ASC, pro-caspase-1, and GSDMD-N were up-regulated, and the levels of IL-1β and IL-18 were increased. Conclusion QZJT may inhibit podocyte pyroptosis by acting on the Nrf2 to regulate the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pathway, thus improving renal damage in DN mouse.

Objective To investigate the effects of Chaihuang Yishen Granules on renal fibrosis in unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO)mice and its underlying mechanisms.Methods Twenty-four 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,and low and high dose groups of Chaihuang Yishen Granules(6 in each group).In control group,only right kidney ureter was exposed and dissected.In model group,the UUO animal model was established by UUO.In low and high dose groups,mice were administered intragastrically at doses of 3.8 and 7.6 g/kg of Chaihuang Yishen Granules respectively,following the model group's method to establish the UUO model.After 7 days,the mice were euthanized and renal samples were collected.HE and Masson staining were used to observe pathological changes and fibrosis degree of the kidneys in each group,Sirius red staining was used to observe collagen deposition.The expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),fibronectin(FN),type Ⅰ collagen(Col-Ⅰ),glycogen synthase kinase 3β(GSK-3β),and β-catenin related proteins were detected using Western blotting.Changes in A33 and GSK-3β,β-catenin mRNA levels were measured by RT-PCR.Additionally,a normal transformed C3H mouse kidney-1(TCMK1)was used as control(normal group);an in vitro fibrosis model was established using TCMK1 stimulated with Transforming Growth Factor-β(TGF-β);and an in vitro drug model was established using TCMK1 treated with serum containing Chaihuang Yishen Granules.A33 was overexpressed in TCMK1 cells using a transfection with an A33 overexpression plasmid,and changes in fibrosis-related indicators and the expression of A33 and GSK-3β,β-catenin mRNA were observed.Results RT-PCR results showed that,compared with control group,A33 level was significantly increased in model group,while it was significantly reduced in both low and high dose groups of Chaihuang Yishen Granules(P＜0.05).Western blotting showed that the expression levels of fibrosis-related factors such as α-SMA,FN,Col-Ⅰ in model group were significantly higher than those in control group(P＜0.05);while compared with model group,the expression levels of α-SMA,FN,Col-Ⅰ in low and high dose groups of Chaihuang Yishen Granules were significantly lower(P＜0.05).HE,Masson,immunohistochemical staining results showed that model group had severe kidney structural damage,significant increase in collagen deposition,and significantly higher expression levels of GSK-3β and β-catenin proteins compared with those in control group(P＜0.01).In contrast,low and high dose groups of Chaihuang Yishen Granules had good kidney structure,significant improvement in kidney damage and fibrosis,and significantly lower expression levels of GSK-3β and β-catenin proteins compared with those in model group(P＜0.05).In vitro experiment results confirmed that,compared with normal group,A33 overexpression promoted the upregulation of fibrosis-related factors in TCMK1 cells,significantly increase the expression of downstream target genes GSK-3β and β-catenin mRNA in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway(P＜0.05),and A33 overexpression reversed the cellular fibrosis changes downregulated by the serum containing Chaihuang Yishen Granules(P＜0.01).Conclusion Chaihuang Yishen Granules significantly improve renal fibrosis in UUO mice by downregulating the A33/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,suggesting that A33 may be a potential therapeutic target for renal fibrosis.

Objective:To investigate the changes in serum homeobox A9(HOXA9),soluble E-cadherin(SE-CAD)and type Ⅲ procollagen(PCⅢ)levels in acute myeloid leukemia(AML)patients after chemotherapy with DCAG regimen and their relationship with prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 80 patients with relapsed/refractory AML diagnosed and treated in our hospital from March 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.According to different treatment regimen,the patients were divided into DCAG group(n=40)and CAG group(n=40).The clinical efficacy and changes of HOXA9,SE-CAD and PCⅢ levels before and after treatment were compared.In addition,all patients were divided into remission group(n=58)and non-remission group(n=22)according to the clinical efficacy.Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of AML patients.The predictive efficacy of the three single indicators,HOXA9,SE-CAD,and PC Ⅲ,and their combination on prognosis was analyzed.Results:Compared with before treatment,the levels of HOXA9,SE-CAD and PCⅢ in both the DCAG and CAG groups were decreased after treatment,and the improvement of each indicator and the clinical efficacy in the DCAG group were significantly better than those in the CAG group(all P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that increased bone marrow blast count,HOXA9 mRNA,SE-CAD and PCⅢ levels were independent risk factors affecting the efficacy of chemotherapy in AML patients(all P＜0.05).ROC curves showed that the combination of HOXA9 mRNA,SE-CAD and PCⅢ could effectively predict the prognosis of AML patients,with a sensitivity of 84.80％and a specificity of 88.20％.Conclusion:DCAG regimen can significantly improve the levels of HOXA9 mRNA,SE-CAD and PCⅢ in AML patients,these three indicators are all independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of AML patients,and the combination of the three indicators can effectively predict the prognosis of the patients.

Objective Viral encephalitis is an infectious disease severely affecting human health.It is caused by a wide variety of viral pathogens,including herpes viruses,flaviviruses,enteroviruses,and other viruses.The laboratory diagnosis of viral encephalitis is a worldwide challenge.Recently,high-throughput sequencing technology has provided new tools for diagnosing central nervous system infections.Thus,In this study,we established a multipathogen detection platform for viral encephalitis based on amplicon sequencing. Methods We designed nine pairs of specific polymerase chain reaction(PCR)primers for the 12 viruses by reviewing the relevant literature.The detection ability of the primers was verified by software simulation and the detection of known positive samples.Amplicon sequencing was used to validate the samples,and consistency was compared with Sanger sequencing. Results The results showed that the target sequences of various pathogens were obtained at a coverage depth level greater than 20×,and the sequence lengths were consistent with the sizes of the predicted amplicons.The sequences were verified using the National Center for Biotechnology Information BLAST,and all results were consistent with the results of Sanger sequencing. Conclusion Amplicon-based high-throughput sequencing technology is feasible as a supplementary method for the pathogenic detection of viral encephalitis.It is also a useful tool for the high-volume screening of clinical samples.
