Aim To explore the protective roles of lic-ochalcone A ( LA) on mice with cigarette smoke-medi-ated acute lung injury and the related mechanisms. Methods In vivo: Mice were exposed to cigarette smoke ( CS) to establish acute lung injury model. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ( BALF ) was conducted for cell counting. The mRNA and protein expression of keratinocyte-derived chemokine ( KC ) , tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α) , interleukin 1β ( IL-1β) and matrix metalloproteinases ( MMP)-9 in lungs were de-termined. The myeloperoxidase ( MPO ) , superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) activities and glutathione ( GSH ) levels in lungs were quantified. The paraffin sections of lungs were prepared and stained with HE. In vitro:Human lung epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) were exposed to cigarette smoke extract ( CSE ) , which induced cell injury. The releases of interleukin 8 (IL-8) and MMP-9 were assessed. The phosphorylation of mitogen-acti-vated protein kinases ( MAPKs, including ERK1/2, p38 and JNK ) and nuclear factor-κB ( NF-κB ) p65 protein were analyzed by Western blot. Results In vi-vo: The accumulation of inflammatory cells was lower in LA groups than that in model group. In comparison with normal control group, the mRNA and protein lev-els of KC, TNF-α, IL-1βand MMP-9 were significant-ly increased in model group. Following treatment with LA, the above indicators were significantly decreased as compared to model group. In the CS-exposed mice, the MPO activity in lungs was significantly increased, meanwhile the SOD activity and GSH level were signif-icantly decreased compared with the air-exposed ani-mals. CS-induced activity of MPO was significantly in-hibited, which were accompanied by increases in SOD and GSH levels by LA. In vitro: CSE-induced mRNA levels of IL-8 and MMP-9 were significantly inhibited by LA at 2 . 5 and 5 μmol · L-1 . The CSE-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and nucleus NF-κB p65 protein expression were prevented by pretreatment with LA. Conclusions LA has protective effects on CS-ex-posed acute lung injury in mice by preventing CS-in-duced pulmonary inflammation, oxidative stress and protease rise. The exploration of the mechanisms sug-gests that LA exerts protective effects via suppressing ERK1/2/NF-κB pathways.

Objective:To investigate the association of serum magnesium with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients.Methods:A retrospective study was performed in patients who initiated peritoneal dialysis from January 1, 2013 to July 31, 2019 in the Shaoxing People's Hospital. According to the standard of serum magnesium, the patients were divided into control group (Mg≥0.7 mmol/L) and low-magnesium group (Mg<0.7 mmol/L). The differences in baseline biochemical variables, comorbidities, medications, and clinical outcomes between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of hypomagnesemia. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Fine-Gray model were used to compare the difference in cumulative survival rate between the two groups. Cox regression model and competitive risk model were used to analyze the risk factors of all-cause mortality and CVD mortality.Results:A total of 381 peritoneal dialysis patients were enrolled in this study. Among them, 321 patients were in control group and 60 patients in low-magnesium group. The total median follow-up time was 27(15, 43) months. There were significant differences in serum albumin, magnesium, phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone, low-density lipoprotein chloesterol, high sensitivity C-reactive protein and 4-hour dialysate-to-plasma creatinine (4 h D/Pcr) between the two groups. CVD was the main cause of death in patients on peritoneal dialysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypoalbuminemia ( OR=0.901, 95% CI 0.831-0.976, P=0.011), hypophosphatemia ( OR=0.217, 95% CI 0.080-0.591, P=0.003), higher hsCRP ( OR=1.276, 95% CI 1.066-1.528, P=0.008), and higher 4 h D/Pcr ( OR=1.395, 95% CI 1.014-1.919, P=0.041) were independent risk factors for patients with hypomagnesemia. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed the cumulative survival rate of patients in low-magnesium group was significantly lower than that of control group (Log-rank χ2=5.388, P=0.020). Fine-Gray model analysis showed the cumulative CVD survival rate of low-magnesium group was significantly lower than that of control group ( Gray=6.915, P=0.009). Multivariate-corrected Cox regression model and competitive risk model analysis showed that higher serum magnesium level was a protective factor for all-cause mortality and CVD mortality when serum magnesium was used as a continuous variable ( HR=0.137, 95% CI 0.020-0.946, P=0.044; SHR=0.037, 95% CI 0.002-0.636, P=0.023, respectively). Hypomagnesemia was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality and CVD mortality when serum magnesium was used as categorical variable ( HR=1.864, 95% CI 1.044-3.328, P=0.035; SHR=2.117, 95% CI 1.147-3.679, P=0.029, respectively). Conclusions:Hypomagnesemia is susceptible to peritoneal dialysis patients with hypoalbuminemia, hypophosphatemia, higher hsCRP and higher peritoneal transport characteristics. Hypomagnesemia is an independent risk factor for CVD mortality and all-cause mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients.
