Objective To compare the main pharmacodynamic actions between Siji Sanhuang Capsules (SSC) and Siji Sanhuang Pills (SSP). Methods Antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects of SSC and its effect on the intestinal movement in normal mice and constipation mice were observed. Results SSC could relieve fever in rats induced by the fresh beer yeast and 2,4-dinitrophenol, significantly inhibit the auricular swelling induced by xylol and the increased capillary permeability caused by histamine in mice, and promote the intestinal movement in normal mice and constipation mice. In-vitro antibacterial experiments showed that SSC had an obvious bacteriostatic effect on Staphylococcus aureus,typhoid bacillus, Bacillus coli, Shigella flexneri, pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus proteus. The effects were in a dose-dependent manner and the effects of SSC were stronger than those of SSP. Conclusion SSC exerts a Strong antipyretic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and carthartic effect.

Objective:To build mice ulcerative colitis(UC)model by dextran sodium sulfate salt(DSS),and to explore effect and molecular mechanism of oridonin(Ori)on alleviating UC by mediating Sirt1 signaling pathway,as well as to find new drugs for UC treatment.Methods:Sixty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal group(NC),model group(DSS),DSS+mesalazine sustained-release granule group(AC),DSS+low-dose Ori group(Ori-L),DSS+medium-dose Ori group(Ori-M)and DSS+high-dose Ori group(Ori-H),with 10 mice in each group.Except NC group,mice in other groups were given 3%DSS aqueous solution free for 7 days.After successful modeling,Ori-L group,Ori-M group and Ori-H group were intragastric with 50,100 and 150 mg/kg Ori suspension,respectively.NC group and DSS group drank distilled water free,AC group was intragastric with mesalazine sustained-release granules 100 mg/kg,lasted for 10 days.Weight changes of mice were recorded and disease active index(DAI)score was performed.After treatment,serum levels of IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were detected by ELISA.Whole colon tissues were extracted,length was measured,and HE staining was performed.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect expressions of Sirt1,NF-κB and p53 in colon tissues of each group.Results:After successful modeling,compared with NC group,the other 5 groups of mice showed weight loss,DAI score increased and colon length shortened,Sirt1 expression was signi-ficantly inhibited,while expressions of NF-κB and p53 were significantly increased,accompanied by obvious inflammatory pathologi-cal features.Compared with DSS group,Ori-L,Ori-M,and Ori-H groups and AC group had less weight loss during experiment,and DAI scores showed lower disease activity and relatively less colon length shortening,Sirt1 expression was less inhibited,expressions of NF-κB and p53 were also relatively small.Results of AC group could prove that Ori has therapeutic effect on UC.Conclusion:Ori can improve UC in mice,whose effect may be related to regulation of Sirt1 signal.

Pancreatitis is one of the most common inflammatory diseases of the pancreas caused by autodigestion induced by excessive premature protease activation. However, recognition of novel pathophysiological mechanisms remains a still challenge. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the pathogenesis of pancreatitis, and the gut microbiota is a potential source of an environmental effect. In recent years, several new frontiers in gut microbiota and genetic risk assessment research have emerged and improved the understanding of the disease. These investigations showed that the disease progression of pancreatitis could be regulated by the gut microbiome, either through a translocation influence or in a host immune response manner. Meanwhile, the onset of the disease is also associated with the heritage of a pathogenic mutation, and the disease progression could be modified by genetic risk factors. In this review, we focused on the recent advances in the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of pancreatitis, and the genetic susceptibility in pancreatitis.

Objective:
To investigate the correlation between CXC chemokine receptor 6 (CXCR6) and prognosis of renal clear cell carcinoma.
Methods:
A total of 100 patients with renal clear cell carcinoma who underwent surgery in the First People's Hospital of Ziyang from January 2013 to October 2014 were selected. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of CXCR6 in 100 cases of renal clear cell carcinoma and adjacent normal tissues. The patients were followed up to observe the positive rate of CXCR6 expression and the factors affecting overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of renal clear cell carcinoma and adjacent normal tissues.
Results:
The positive rate of CXCR6 expression in renal clear cell carcinoma tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues, and the difference was statistically significant [46.0% (46/100) vs. 20.0% (20/100), χ2 = 15.287,

Objective To compare the difference in dose of general anesthesia between pastoral patients and urban pa-tients.Methods The patients who performed abdominal surgery under general anesthesia in Peoples hospital of Bortala Mongo-lian Autonomous Prefecture from January 1st to April 30th 2022 were included and divided into pastoral patient group and ur-ban patient group according to the residential place of patients.Anesthesia and surgery were carried out according to hospital regulations.The general characteristics of all patients were recorded and the dosages of general anesthesia drugs were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in general and intraoperative con-ditions.Patients'performances were stable,and no severe adveres reaction was observed.The dosages of Propofol,Remifen and Rocuronium in pastoral patients were higher than that in urban patients(all P<0.05).Conclusion The dosage of general anes-thesia for patients in pastoral areas is higher,which ensures the stability of anesthesia depth and vital signs of patients,creates good conditions for surgery and promotes rapid recovery of patients.

Background:
Ferroptosis, which is caused by an iron-dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides, is a type of cell death linked to diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Previous research has shown that fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) is involved in the regulation of ferroptosis in diabetic retinopathy. The present study was constructed to explore the role of FABP4 in the regulation of ferroptosis in DKD.
Methods:
We first detected the expression of FABP4 and proteins related to ferroptosis in renal biopsies of patients with DKD. Then, we used a FABP4 inhibitor and small interfering RNA to investigate the role of FABP4 in ferroptosis induced by high glucose in human renal proximal tubular epithelial (HG-HK2) cells.
Results:
In kidney biopsies of DKD patients, the expression of FABP4 was elevated, whereas carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1A (CP-T1A), glutathione peroxidase 4, ferritin heavy chain, and ferritin light chain showed reduced expression. In HG-HK2 cells, the induction of ferroptosis was accompanied by an increase in FABP4. Inhibition of FABP4 in HG-HK2 cells changed the redox state, sup-pressing the production of reactive oxygen species, ferrous iron (Fe2+), and malondialdehyde, increasing superoxide dismutase, and reversing ferroptosis-associated mitochondrial damage. The inhibition of FABP4 also increased the expression of CPT1A, reversed lipid deposition, and restored impaired fatty acid β-oxidation. In addition, the inhibition of CPT1A could induce ferroptosis in HK2 cells.
Conclusion
Our results suggest that FABP4 mediates ferroptosis in HG-HK2 cells by inhibiting fatty acid β-oxidation.
