Aim To study the anti-HBV effect of alcohol extract from styela plicata Lesueur,styela canopus Savigny and symplegma oceania Tokioka in vitro and estimate their function.Methods An assay system based on the sera of HBV infection and HBV clearance was used to assess their inhibitory effects on HBsAg,HBeAg,anti-HBs and anti-HBe.Results Alcohol extract from the three species of ascidians all had a definite inhibition effect on HBsAg when the concentration was over 2 g?L -1 and a favorable inhibition effect on HBeAg when the concentration was over 0.5 g?L -1.There was no significant difference in inhibiting the two kinds of antigen.Conclusion Alcohol extract from the three species of ascidians all had the definite inhibition effects on HBsAg and HBeAg from serum of Hepatitis B patients.The inhibition effects were dose-dependent. From the effcets of alcohol extract on anti-HBs and anti-HBe,we can estimate that there are about two kinds of anti-HBV compositions.One has the similar structure with the antibody,which can exterminate the HBV by the way of forming a uninfectious combination with the antigen. The other has a definite inhibition effect on the antigen,and also has some inhibition effect on the antibody.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of electromyography on the clinical manifestations and prognosis after posterior lumbar interbody fusion(PLIF) of degenerative lumbar diseases. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 68 patients with degenerative lumbar diseases, including 29 males and 39 females, aged 21 to 84 years old, who underwent electromyogram (EMG) from January 2018 to October 2019. The patients were divided into negative and positive groups according to whether theresults of EMG was normal or abnormal, PLIF surgery was performed in both groups. The preoperative duration of illness, postoperative recovery time, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative ambulation time and length of postoperative hospital stay were recorded. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by visual analogue scale(VAS) of low back and lower limb, the Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA) score before and after operation. RESULTS: All patients were follow-up from 26 to 39 months. The subjective symptoms, clinical signs, daily activities and JOA total scores after operation in two groups were significantly higher than those before preoperation(P<0.05);the clinical signs score and total JOA score in the negative group at 3 months after operation were higher than those in the positive group(P<0.05). The VAS score of leg pain in the negative group after 1 and 3 months was less than that in the positive group(P<0.05). Patients 's illness time, postoperative recovery time, hospitalization time and implantation time in the negative group were shorter than those in the positive group(P<0.05). At other time points, there was no significant difference in low pain VAS, leg pain VAS, JOA scores in the two groups(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation time and intraoperative bleeding volume between the two groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSION Patients with normal electromyography had shorter disease duration than ones with abnormal electromyography in lumbar degenerative disease;after PLIF, patients with normal electromyography recovered faster than ones with abnormal electromyography, but the results of electromyography had no effect on the final prognosis of PLIF surgery.

Background Emerging evidence has shown the damage of air pollution and the benefits of physical activity to human health, and the effects of air pollution and physical activity on the nervous system need more research. Objective To explore the effects of short-term air pollution exposure and physical activity on neural damage biomarkers in healthy elderly. Methods Using a design of panel study, physically and mentally healthy retired employees were recruited from Xinxiang Medical University, and were followed up five times regularly from December 2018 to April 2019. The demographic characteristics and physical activity information were obtained by questionnaire, and the weekly physical activity level was calculated according to intensity and duration of physical activity. Biomarkers of neural damage in serum were measured, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurofilament light chain (NF-L), neuron specific enolase (NSE), protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5), and S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B). Air pollution data (including PM_2.5, PM₁₀, O₃, SO₂, CO, and NO₂) of the follow-up period were collected. Generalized estimation equation was used to analyze the association of air pollution concentration and physical activity level with the concentration of neural damage biomarkers. Results A total of 29 volunteers were included in the study, with an average age of (63.5±5.9) years; there were 11 men accounting for 37.93%; more than half of them (62.07%) received above junior middle school education; the mean physical activity level was (80.23±54.51) MET-h·week⁻¹. The daily average concentrations of PM_2.5, PM₁₀, O₃, SO₂, CO, and NO₂ during the study period were (68.27±60.98) μg·m⁻³, (130.57±58.71) μg·m⁻³, (36.86±13.89) μg·m⁻³, (17.86±10.59) μg·m⁻³, (4.94±1.34) mg·m⁻³, and (50.83±8.03) μg·m⁻³, respectively. The average serum concentrations of BDNF, NF-L, NSE, PGP9.5, and S100B were (139.12±46.71) μg·L⁻¹, (402.60±183.31) ng·L⁻¹, (11.26±10.32) ng·L⁻¹, (14.32±13.57) ng·L⁻¹, and (127.57±41.74) ng·L⁻¹, respectively. The results of generalized estimation equation showed that a higher concentration of PM_2.5 or O₃ was associated with increased serum NSE (OR=1.359, 95%CI: 1.224-1.509, P<0.001; OR=1.286, 95%CI: 1.076-1.537, P=0.006), while a higher concentration of NO₂ was associated with decreased serum NSE (OR=0.692, 95%CI: 0.549-0.873, P=0.002); a higher concentration of O₃ or SO₂ was related to the reduction of serum NF-L concentration (OR=0.855, 95%CI: 0.740-0.989, P=0.035; OR=0.813, 95%CI: 0.700-0.946, P=0.007); a higher concentration of NO₂ was associated with decreased PGP9.5 in serum (OR=0.866, 95%CI: 0.777-0.965, P=0.009); a higher level of physical activity was associated with increased serum S100B (OR=1.038, 95%CI: 1.003-1.074, P=0.034); and no significant association of physical activity level or air pollution with BDNF (P>0.05). Conclusion Acute exposure to air pollution and high-level physical activity might affect the neural damage of elderly populations. Specifically, particulate matter (PM_2.5) could increase NSE, while gaseous pollutants (O₃, NO₂, and SO₂) could decrease NF-L and PGP9.5.

Osteoporosis complicated with fracture is a common and severe condition. This paper summarizes present advances and new concepts in its treatment. Since the secondary osteoporosis will likely develop after fracture treatment with immobilization, more and more bone mass will get lost in addition to primary osteoporosis. A vicious cycle will be established and influence the fracture healing. Therefore, the key to the treatment is to block the vicious cycle to stop or decrease the bone loss. As a routine measure, to do exercises and weight- bearing activities as early as possible is as important as to take medicines for osteoporosis treatment. Stable internal fixation and prosthetic replacement should be firstly chosen for treatment of most fractures. In drug treatment, calcitonin, bisphosphonate (alendronate), HRT (Livial), vitamins D2 and D3, and calcium are indicated.

Osteoporosis is characterized by reduced bone mass and impaired micro-architectural structure, leading to an increased susceptibility to fractures. It is a complex, multifactorial disorder resulting from genetic factors, environmental factors and gene-environment interactions. Currently there are three opinions on the main pathogenesis of primary osteoporosis in traditional Chinese medicine: kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency, and spleen-kidney deficiency, in which disagreement remains. In this paper, the authors combine the modern etiology of osteoporosis to explain scientific connotation of the three opinions, aiming to comprehend the pathogenesis of primary osteoporosis and strengthen the communication between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and trying to evaluate the clinical curative effect on osteoporosis.

【Objective】 To investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of neurodegenerative lesions in male mice caused by ozone exposure. 【Methods】 We divided 23 C57BL/6N male mice aged 8 to 9 months into control group （clean air group， 11） and ozone group （1 mg/m ³， 4h/d， 12）. After 8 weeks of continuous ozone exposure， the Morris water maze experiment was used to detect the mice’s learning and memory ability， HE dyeing to observe pathological changes in hippocampal tissue cells， and immunoprinting tests to detect the expression levels of Tau， p-Tau and α-synuclein proteins in the cerebral cortex tissue. 【Results】 After 8 weeks of ozone exposure， the mice’s spatial learning and memory ability were impaired to a certain extent， the incubation period decreased with time， and the two lines were separated， but the difference was not statistically significant. Ozone exposure caused changes in the morphology of the mice’s hippocampal tissue cells， disorders in the arrangement of hippocampal neuron， and nuclear wrinkles， and significantly increased levels of p-Tau and α-synuclein protein expressions in cerebral cortex tissues （P<0.01）， but there was no statistical significance in the total Tau expression level. 【Conclusion】 Ozone exposure leads to the loss of learning and memory in mice， changes in hippocampal neurocellular pathology， and increased expression levels of neurodegenerative variable-related proteins.

Objective : To study the relationship between lncRNA SIL and proliferation and migration of alveolar epithelial cell during pulmonary fibrosis. Methods : The expression level of lncRNA SIL in A549 cells induced by transforming growth factor(TGF⁃ β1) was detected by RNA fish. The eukaryotic expression vector of lncRNA SIL was built and transfected into A549 cells , the proliferation and migration of the cells after overexpressing lncRNA SIL were studied by RT⁃PCR , MTT , Western blot , cell damage repair experiments and immunofluorescence.

When lncRNA SIL was overexpressed in A549 cells , cell proliferation , migration and expression of proliferation - related proteins PCNA and Ki67 were decreased compared with the control group. Analysis of the expression of cellular marker proteins showed that , the expression levels of interstitial cell marker proteins α ⁃SMA and Collagen⁃1 were significantly reduced , while the expression level of alveolar epithelial marker protein E. cad significantly increased. Conclusion LncRNA SIL can inhibit the proliferation and migration of A549 cells , and also can inhibit EMT induced by TGF⁃ β1 .

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of HLA-G expressed in platelets on Tax protein of human T cell leukemia type 1 virus (HTLV-1). 【Methods】 Platelets were isolated from anticoagulant whole blood, and HLA-G molecule on platelet membrane was detected by flow cytometry. The content of secretory HLA-G before and after platelet lysis was detected by ELISA, HTLV-1 human lymphoma cells MT2 were cultured with platelet lysate (PL). The effect of HLA-G in platelets on the expression of HTLV-1 protein Tax was evaluated by Western blot (WB). 【Results】 Membrane type mHLA-G was highly expressed on the surface of platelet membrane. The expression of secretory sHLA-G (ng/mL) increased after platelet lysis (15.73±1.01) vs (6.65±0.47), the expression of sHLA-G increased with the increase of platelet concentration in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with fetal bovine serum, PL significantly promoted the high expression of HLA-G protein and HTLV-1 virus tax protein in MT2 cells, and the addition of anti-HLA-G antibody to PL could effectively inhibit the expression of Tax and HLA-G protein. 【Conclusion】 High expression of immune tolerance molecule HLA-G on platelets can induce high expression of HTLV-1 protein Tax in human lymphoma cell MT2, which contributes to viral infection.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of Shensuyin in treating viralmyocarditis (VMC) with syndrome of insufficiency of lung-qi and the effect on levels of Th17 and Treg cells and relevant factors. Method: One hundred-four VMC cases were regaded as object of study and randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 52 cases in each group. Control group was treated with routine therapy by reference to ‘Chinese Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Heart Failure 2014’. In addition to the therapy of control group, observation group on the basis of treatment in the control group with Shensuyin, 1 dose/d, bid. One course of treatment was 8 weeks for both groups. Scores of Shensuyin, serum levels of Troponin I (cTnI) and cardiac free fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), heart function and total efficacy were compared for both groups. Flow cytometry was used to detect peripheral blood levels of Th17 and Treg cells for the two groups. Serum levels of interleukin (IL) -17, IL-21, IL-10 were detected in both groups. Result: After treatment, scores of syndrome of Yin and Yang deficiency (shortness of breath, fatigue, dull chest pain, bad breath, cough) of observation group were obviously lower than those of control group (P<0.01). Serum levels of H-FABP and cTnI of observation group were remarkably lower, while LVEF and E/A were higher than those of control group after treatment (P<0.01). Total efficacy of observation group was 92.16%, which was higher than 74% of control group (P<0.05). After treatment, peripheral blood levels of Th17 cell and Th17/Treg were obviously lower, while Treg cell was higher thancontrol group (P<0.01). Serum level of IL-17, IL-21 of observation group was remarkably lower, while IL-10 was higher than control group after treatment (P<0.01). Conclusion: In addition to the routine therapy of VMC, the efficacy of Shensuyin has a significant effect in treating VMC with syndrome of lung qi deficiency, and the regulatory effect on levels of Th17 and Treg cells and relevant factors may be one of the effective ways.
