Objective To compare the performance of HP-083/4 and rational used instrument on detecting six items.Methods The rational instruments were used as contrast instrument,HP-083/4 was the verified instrument.A total of 100 blood specimens and 100 urine specimens were collected,and the levels of antistreptolysin O(ASO),hypersensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP),D-di-mer(D-D),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),rheumatoid factor(RF)and urine microalbumin(mAlb)were detected.The regression equation and correlation coefficient(r)of the two methods were calculated,and the Kappa values(κ)were analyzed to evaluate the performance of HP-083/4.Results There was a good linear correlation (r >0.950)for the two methods in detecting the serum ASO,hsCRP,D-D,HbA1c,RF and mAlb,r were 0.991,0.995,0.970,0.957,0.980 and 0.967 respectively.Besides,they had good concordance(κ>0.6),theκ values were 0.830,0.957,0.601,0.720,0.920 and 0.694 respectively.Conclusion HP-083/4 is effec-tive in detecting ASO,hsCRP,D-D,HbA1c,RF and mAlb,which should be suitable for clinical application.

Objective To observe the effects of Wuhu Decoction on autophagy and the expressions of IL-8,IL-23 and muc5ac in lung tissue of asthmatic mice induced by exosomes of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells infected by RSV(BMSCs-Exo-RSV);To explore its mechanism in the treatment of asthma.Methods Totally 40 male SPF C57 mice were randomly divided into blank group,model group,Wuhu Decoction group and ribavirin group,with 10 mice in each group.The blank group was given PBS nasal drops,and the other groups were given BMSCs-Exo-RSV nasal drops once every other day for 7 times.24 hours after the end of modeling,Wuhu Decoction group was given Wuhu Decoction,and ribavirin group was given ribavirin solution,the blank group and model group were given distilled water,once a day,for consecutive 7 d.The general behavior of mice was observed,the peak expiratory flow(PEF)and forced vital capacity(FVC)were detected,HE and Masson staining were used to observe the inflammatory infiltration and collagen deposition in the lung tissue,RT-qPCR was used to detect the expressions of LC3A/B,beclin-1,p62,IL-8,IL-23 and muc5ac mRNA in lung tissue,Western blot was used to detect the expressions of LC3B,beclin-1 and p62 proteins in lung tissue,immunohistochemstry was used to detect the expression of IL-8,IL-23,muc5ac proteins in lung tissue.Results Compared with the blank group,the body mass of mice in the model group decreased,and showed behavioral changes such as shortness of breath,nodding wheezing,lifting of upper limbs,shrugging,vertical hair,scratching nose,etc.,the PEF and FVC were decreased(P<0.01),inflammatory infiltration and collagen deposition in lung tissue increased,the expressions of LC3A/B,beclin-1,IL-8,IL-23 and muc5ac mRNA in lung tissue increased,the expression of p62 mRNA decreased(P<0.01),while the expression of LC3BⅡ,beclin-1,IL-8,IL-23 and muc5ac proteins and the ratio of LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ increased(P<0.01),while the expression of LC3BⅠand p62 protein decreased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the symptoms of Wuhu Decoction group and ribavirin group were improved,the PEF and FVC were increased(P<0.01,P<0.05),the inflammatory infiltration and collagen deposition in lung tissue were reduced,the expression of LC3A/B,beclin-1,IL-8,IL-23 and muc5ac mRNA in lung tissue decreased(P<0.01),the expression of p62 mRNA increased(P<0.01),the expressions of LC3BⅡ,beclin-1,IL-8,IL-23 and muc5ac protein and the ratio of LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01),while the expressions of LC3BⅠ and p62 protein increased(P<0.01).Conclusion BMSCs-Exo-RSV can promote autophagy and the expressions of IL-8,IL-23 and muc5ac in lung tissue of mice to induce asthma changes.Wuhu Decoction has therapeutic effect on asthmatic mice by inhibiting autophagy and reducing the expressions of IL-8,IL-23 and muc5ac.

Cognitive dysfunction is one of the common central nervous systems (CNS) complications of diabetes mellitus, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients and results in a huge economic burden. The glymphatic system dysfunction mediated by aquaporin-4 (AQP4) loss or redistribution in perivascular astrocyte endfeet plays a crucial role in diabetes-induced cognitive impairment (DCI). However, the mechanism of AQP4 loss or redistribution in the diabetic states remains unclear. Accumulating evidence suggests that peripheral insulin resistance target tissues and CNS communication affect brain homeostasis and that exosomal miRNAs are key mediators. Glucose and lipid metabolism disorder is an important pathological feature of diabetes mellitus, and skeletal muscle, liver and adipose tissue are the key target insulin resistance organs. In this review, the changes in exosomal miRNAs induced by peripheral metabolism disorders in diabetes mellitus were systematically reviewed. We focused on exosomal miRNAs that could induce low AQP4 expression and redistribution in perivascular astrocyte endfeet, which could provide an interorgan communication pathway to illustrate the pathogenesis of DCI. Furthermore, the mechanisms of exosome secretion from peripheral insulin resistance target tissue and absorption to the CNS were summarized, which will be beneficial for proposing novel and feasible strategies to optimize DCI prevention and/or treatment in diabetic patients.
