Objective To investigate potential effect and mechanism of dexamethasone ( DEX) on intestinal ischemia reperfusion injury. Methods A total of 18 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups( n=6 each): sham operation group, model control group , and DEX group. Mice in the model control and sham operation groups received intraperitoneal normal saline 0. 5 hour before ischemia, and mice in DEX group received intraperitoneal injection of DEX 10 mg·kg-1 , 0. 5 hour before ischemia. Mice in the model control and DEX groups were placed in the 32 degree infant incubator for 30 minutes after clamping superior mesenteric artery, followed by clamps removal and reperfusion for 24 hours. Mice were then sacrificed to obtain the intestinal tissues. The pathology of intestinal tissues was observed after hematoxylin-eosinstaining ( HE) staining. The mRNA expression level of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-α and IFN-γ were measured by PCR. The expression of AKT and p-AKT were measured by Western blotting. Results The level of mesenteric injuries in the sham operation group, model control group and DEX group was (4±2),(13±3),(7±2) points, respectively. The mRNA level of IL-6, TNF-α and IFN-γ and the expression of p-AKT were all higher in the model control group. Compared to the model control group, the level of mesenteric injuries, the mRNA level of IL-6, TNF-αand IFN-γin DEX group were significantly attenuated, but the expression of p-AKT were further increased. Conclusion Pretreatment with DEX can reduce intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by activating AKT signaling pathway and suppressing inflammation.

Background:Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion( I/R)is a surgical abdomen,which not only leads to intestinal tissue necrosis,but also induces systemic inflammatory response,resulting in a serious impact on other organs and tissues. Aims:To investigate the role and mechanism of rosiglitazone( ROS)on intestinal I/R injury. Methods:Eighteen male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups:sham operation group,I/R injury group and ROS pretreatment group. Mice in ROS pretreatment group received ROS(0. 3 mg/kg,IV)30 minutes before I/R injury. I/R injury model was established by clamping superior mesenteric artery for 30 minutes,followed by 4 hours reperfusion. All the mice were sacrificed. The pathology of intestinal tissue was examined by HE staining. The mRNA expressions of tumor necrosis factor( TNF )-α, interferon(IFN)-γ,interleukin( IL)-1β,transforming growth factor( TGF)-β and Smad3 were measured by real-time quantitative PCR. The protein expressions of TGF-βand Smad3 were measured by Western blotting. Serum levels of TNF-α, IFN-γand IL-1βwere measured by ELISA. Results:Compared with the sham operation group,pathological score of small intestinal mucosa in I/R injury group was significantly increased(P<0. 05),and the mRNA expressions of TNF-α,IFN-γand IL-1β were significantly increased( P < 0. 05 ),the mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β and Smad3 were significantly increased(P<0. 05),the serum levels of TNF-α,IFN-γand IL-1β were significantly increased(P<0. 05). With the pretreatment of ROS,all the above-mentioned indices were significantly ameliorated(P<0. 05). Conclusions:ROS pretreatment can attenuate intestinal I/R injury by inhibiting TGF-β/Smad3 signal pathway to reduce inflammation.

Background: Cathartic colon belongs to the category of 'constipation' in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and its pathogenesis is related to deficiency of kidney temperament and weak promotion ability, which has become a hot spot of global medical attention. Aims: To investigate the effect and possible mechanism of Jiawei Shenqi-wan (JSQW) on intestinal transmission function and pathological changes of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) in rats with cathartic colon. Methods: Forty rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, prucalopride group and JSQW group. Fecal moisture content, fecal particle number and intestinal transit rate were detected. The pathological changes of ICCs were observed under transmission electron microscope. RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of water channel proteins (AQP3 and AQP9) and SCF/c-kit pathway. Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of different anti-platelet regimens in the treatment of high-risk non-disabling ischemic cerebrovascular events (HR-NICE) guided by point-of-care testing of CYP2C19 gene. Methods:A single-centre, prospective, randomised, open-label, and blinded endpoint design was uesd in the study. From July 2020 to January 2022, HR-NICE patients were enrolled in the Stroke Green Channel and Department of Neurology of Xuzhou Central Hospital, and all patients were scraped the buccal mucosa for screening for CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele carriers by point-of-care testing . Patients with intermediate metabolism were defined as those who carried 1 loss-of-function allele and patients with poor metabolism were those who carried 2 loss-of-function alleles. This study reduced the test turnaround time to 1 hour by using a fully automated medical polymerase chain reaction analyzer for a point-of-care test of CYP2C19 genotype. CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele carriers were divided according to the random number table method into the conventional treatment group (clopidogrel 75 mg, once a day), the ticagrelor group (ticagrelor 90 mg, twice a day) and the intensive dose group (clopidogrel 150 mg, once a day) separately combined with aspirin (100 mg, once a day) dual antiplatelet for 21 days. Baseline information, Acute Stroke Org 10172 Treatment Trial staging, 90-day modified Rankin Scale score, occurrence of adverse events and severe adverse events were collected for all the 3 groups. The primary efficacy outcome was new stroke within 90 days, and the primary safety outcome was severe or moderate bleeding within 90 days. Results:A total of 716 patients were included: 240 in the conventional treatment group, 240 in the ticagrelor group and 236 in the intensive dose group. There was no statistically significant difference between the 3 groups at baseline (all P>0.05). There were 26 cases (10.8%) with new stroke events in the conventional treatment group, 11 cases (4.6%) in the ticagrelor group and 4 cases (1.7%) in the intensive dose group, with statistically significant differences among the 3 groups (χ 2=19.28, P<0.05), and the differences between the conventional treatment group and the ticagrelor group (χ 2=6.59, P=0.010) and between the conventional treatment group and the intensive dose group (χ 2=16.83, P<0.001) were statistically significant, whereas the difference between the ticagrelor group and the intensive dose group was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). In the 3 groups, there was 1 case (0.4%) of severe bleeding in the conventional treatment group, 6 cases (2.5%) in the ticagrelor group and none in the intensive dose group, which showed statistically significant differences (χ 2=7.23, P<0.05), and there was statistically significant difference between the ticagrelor group and the intensive dose group ( P=0.030). Among the patients with intermediate CYP2C19 metabolism, there were 13 cases (13/158, 8.2%) with 90-day recurrent stroke in the conventional treatment group, 4 cases (4/153, 2.6%) in the ticagrelor group, and 0 case (0/159) in the intensive dose group, with statistically significant difference (χ 2=16.04, P<0.001), and the differences between the intensive dose group and the conventional treatment group were statistically significant (χ 2=13.64, P<0.001), whereas there was no statistically significant difference between the intensive dose group and the ticagrelor group ( P>0.05). In the patients with 90-day recurrent stroke in the intensive dose group, there was 0 case (0/159) with intermediate metabolism and 4 cases (4/77,5.2%) with poor metabolism, with statistically significant differences ( P=0.011), whereas there were no statistically significant differences in the conventional treatment group and the ticagrelor group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Screening carriers of CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles by point-of-care testing can quickly and precisely guide the treatment of patients with non-cardiogenic HR-NICE. An intensive clopidogrel dose of 150 mg, once a day combined with aspirin was effective in reducing stroke recurrence with less occurrence of any bleeding and adverse events, and patients with intermediate CYP2C19 metabolism may be the best population to benefit.
