Objective To explore the short-term and long-term curative effects of proprioception training for pre-term infants with functional dysphagia. Methods Seventy premature infants with functional dysphagia were ran-domly divided into a control group and an observation group, each of 35. Thirty infants of the control group and 32 from the observation group completed the whole study. Both groups were given routine medication and interventions such as touching and passive exercise training. The observation group additionally received a comprehensive interven-tion based on proprioception training. The intervention lasted from the initial stabilization of their condition to the age of 3 months. They were trained twice a day, about 20 minutes each time. The clinical manifestations and complica-tions of dysphagia were evaluated on the 28th day after their birth. At the age of 3 months, the average body mass and development quotient (DQ) were compared between the two groups. Results At the age of twenty-eight days there were significant differences between the two groups in the average number of cases of oral milk residue and coughing or oral-nasal reflux after feeding, as well as in the total number of infants with complications. However, no significant differences were found in the incidence of aspiration pneumonia or dyspnea after feeding. The average body mass and developmental quotient of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group at the age of 3 months. Conclusion The comprehensive intervention based on proprioception training has a good clinical effect on functional dysphagia among premature infants. It can improve their life quality in both the near and longer term, and it is worth popularizing.

Objective:To investigate the effect of curcumin on renal fibrosis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in adult SD rats.Methods:Twenty-four male SD rats were randomly (random number) divided into four groups: control group, ARDS group, low dose group, and high dose group ( n=6 per group). In the control group, the rats were given atomization intratracheal of standard saline 2 mL/kg; in the ARDS group, low-dose group, and high-dose group, the rats were given atomization intratracheal of 4 mg/kg LPS; in the low-dose group, the rats were given curcumin 100 mg/d by the oral administration, and in the high-dose group, the rats were given curcumin or 200 mg/d respectively. After seven days, the rats were sacrificed. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) in renal tissue were detected by colorimetric assay. Nuclear factor kappa-B p65 (NF-κB p65) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were detected by Western blot. The expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) mRNA, proline hydroxylase 3 (PHD3) mRNA, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA and erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) mRNA were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). HE staining and Masson staining were used to assess pathological damage. One-way analysis of variance was used for comparison among multiple groups and SNK method was used for comparison between two groups. Results:Compared with the control group, the SOD activity and GSH content in the ARDS group, low-dose group, and high-dose group were significantly decreased (all P<0.05); the protein expression levels of MDA, NF-κB p65, and TGF-β1 were increased significantly, and IL-6 mRNA, PHD3 mRNA, VEGF mRNA, and EPOR mRNA were significantly upregulated (all P<0.05). HE staining showed inflammatory cell infiltration, and fibrogenesis in kidney tissue, and Masson staining showed deposition of collangen-like substance. Compared with the ARDS group, SOD activity and GSH content were increased, while the protein expression of NF-κB p65 and TGF-β1, IL-6 mRNA, PHD3 mRNA, VEGF mRNA, and EPOR mRNA were decreased significantly in the low-dose group and high-dose group (all P<0.05). Curcumin therapy reduced inflammatory cellular infiltration, and the deposition of collagen-like substance in kidney tissue. Compared with the low-dose group, SOD activity and GSH content were increased in the high-dose group (all P<0.05), and the protein expression of NF-κB p65 and TGF-β1, IL-6 mRNA, PHD3 mRNA, VEGF mRNA, and EPOR mRNA were decreased significantly in the high-dose group (all P<0.05). The high-dose group exhibited a significant reduction in edema, and a decrease of the deposition of collagen-like substance in kidney tissue. Conclusions:Curcumin can inhibit the development of renal fibrosis induced by acute respiratory distress syndrome in rats, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors and enhancing hypoxia tolerance.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effect of curcumin on renal mitochondrial oxidative stress, nuclear factor-κB/NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NF-κB/NLRP3) inflammatory body signaling pathway and tissue cell injury in rats with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
METHODS:
A total of 24 specific pathogen free (SPF)-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control group, ARDS model group, and low-dose and high-dose curcumin groups, with 6 rats in each group. The ARDS rat model was reproduced by intratracheal administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at 4 mg/kg via aerosol inhalation. The control group was given 2 mL/kg of normal saline. The low-dose and high-dose curcumin groups were administered 100 mg/kg or 200 mg/kg curcumin by gavage 24 hours after model reproduction, once a day. The control group and ARDS model group were given an equivalent amount of normal saline. After 7 days, blood samples were collected from the inferior vena cava, and the levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The rats were sacrificed, and kidney tissues were collected. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were determined by ELISA, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was detected using the xanthine oxidase method, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were determined by colorimetric method. The protein expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), caspase-3, NF-κB p65, and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) were detected by Western blotting. The mRNA expressions of HIF-1α, NLRP3, and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Renal cell apoptosis was detected by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The morphological changes in renal tubular epithelial cells and mitochondria were observed under a transmission electron microscope.
RESULTS:
Compared with the control group, the ARDS model group exhibited kidney oxidative stress and inflammatory response, significantly elevated serum levels of kidney injury biomarker NGAL, activated NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway, increased kidney tissue cell apoptosis rate, and renal tubular epithelial cell damage and mitochondrial integrity destruction under transmission electron microscopy, indicating successful induction of kidney injury. Following curcumin intervention, the injury to renal tubular epithelial cells and mitochondria in the rats was significantly mitigated, along with a noticeable reduction in oxidative stress, inhibition of the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway, and a significant decrease in kidney tissue cell apoptosis rate, demonstrating a certain dose-dependency. Compared with the ARDS model group, the high-dose curcumin group exhibited significantly reduced serum NGAL levels and kidney tissue MDA and ROS levels [NGAL (μg/L): 13.8±1.7 vs. 29.6±2.7, MDA (nmol/g): 115±18 vs. 300±47, ROS (kU/L): 75±19 vs. 260±15, all P < 0.05], significantly down-regulated protein expressions of HIF-1α, caspase-3, NF-κB p65, and TLR4 in the kidney tissue [HIF-1α protein (HIF-1α/β-actin): 0.515±0.064 vs. 0.888±0.055, caspase-3 protein (caspase-3/β-actin): 0.549±0.105 vs. 0.958±0.054, NF-κB p65 protein (NF-κB p65/β-actin): 0.428±0.166 vs. 0.900±0.059, TLR4 protein (TLR4/β-actin): 0.683±0.048 vs. 1.093±0.097, all P < 0.05], and significantly down-regulated mRNA expressions of HIF-1α, NLRP3, and IL-1β [HIF-1α mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 2.90±0.39 vs. 9.49±1.87, NLRP3 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 2.07±0.21 vs. 6.13±1.32, IL-1β mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 1.43±0.24 vs. 3.95±0.51, all P < 0.05], and significantly decreased kidney tissue cell apoptosis rate [(4.36±0.92)% vs. (27.75±8.31)%, P < 0.05], and significantly increased SOD activity (kU/g: 648±34 vs. 430±47, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Curcumin can alleviate kidney injury in ARDS rats, and its mechanism may be related to the increasing in SOD activity, reduction of oxidative stress, and inhibition of the activation of the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway.
