It is to investigate the effect of two kinds of Houttuynia Cordata Injection on preventing and treating H1N1 influenza virus infection in mice. Pneumonia model was set up by intranasal infection of the normal and immunocompromised mice with influenza virus FM1 and PR8. The two injections were administered before and after the administration of virus, separately, and the lung index was observed. The results showed that the two preparations have obvious therapeutic effect on normal mice infected with influenza virus FM1 and PR8. And to FM1, the new injection's effect is better at small dosage. The results also showed that the two preparations have obvious prophylactic effect on immunodepressed mice infected with influenza virus FM1 and PR8. And to PR8, the old injection's effect is better at small dosage. Houttuynia Cordata Injection can improve the mice pneumonia caused by influenza virus H1N1 and decrease the lung index markedly. It has a remarkable preventive and therapeutic effect on H1N1 influenza virus in mice.

Background and purpose:Drug resistance is a major cause of failure in lung cancer chemotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of YAP on doxorubicin resistance in lung cancer and its underlying mechanism. Methods:Doxorubicin resistant lung cancer cell clones were established from parental sensitive cancer PC9 cell line via in vitroinduction, and the expression of YAP was analyzed. YAP was down-regulated via shRNA to different levels. MTS assay was employed to determine cell proliferation and drug sensitivity. Flow cytometry was used to determine cell cycle distribution, apoptosis and uptake of Rh-123. Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) assay were used to determine the expression of ABCB1, ABCC1, p53, Runx2, ITGB2 and ErbB4. The phosphory-lation of serine/threonine kinase (AKT) was determined as well.Results:Doxorubicin resistant PC9/Adr cell clone was obtained with over-expressed YAP. Expression of YAP in PC9/Adr cells was down-regulated to different levels via shR-NA. After YAP silencing, cell proliferation was reduced, while sensitivity to doxorubicin was increased. The cell cycle was significantly halted by G0/G1 phase. Doxorubicin induced-apoptotic rate and cellular uptake of Rh-123 were increased,with positive correlation to YAP silencing level. Western blot and QRT-PCR results showed that after YAP silencing, ABCB1, ABCC1, Runx2, ITGB2, and ErbB4 proteins were down-regulated, while the expression of p53 was up-regulated. Phosphorylation of AKT was inhibited as well.Conclusion:Over-expression of YAP is involved in doxorubicin resistance in PC9/Adr cell line. Silencing of YAP could restore doxorubicin sensitivity. The mechanism involves regulation of drug resistance-related genes and promotion of apoptosis.

Objective:To analyze the blood glucose screening condition for individuals receiving physical examinations. Specifically, to examine the rates of abnormal postprandial glucose at different levels of fasting blood glucose and the characteristics of people who had normal fasting blood glucose with high postprandial glucose.Methods:Participants were individuals who received physical examinations at the Health Management Centre, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, from January 2016 to December 2016. Data collection included general information, physical examination, and laboratory tests including fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, postprandial glucose, blood fat, and blood uric acid. The blood glucose indicators for the study population were analyzed. Among participants without diabetes, the rate of abnormal postprandial glucose at different fasting blood glucose levels or with a HbA1c screening were compared. For participants with complete information, chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze the characteristics of individuals who had normal fasting blood glucose with high postprandial glucose.Results:A total of 45 447 participants were included, with 23 001 males (50.61%) and 22 446 females (49.39%). For blood glucose, the most frequently completed indicator was fasting blood glucose (97.04%), then HbA1c (56.17%) followed by postprandial glucose (17.51%). There were 7 351 participants without diabetes who had all three glucose indicators. As fasting blood glucose increased, the abnormal rate of postprandial glucose increased gradually. When fasting blood glucose was lower than 5.6 mmol/L, the rate of abnormal postprandial glucose was 11.59%. When fasting blood glucose was between 5.6 mmol/L and 6.1 mmol/L, the rate was 33.9%. When fasting blood glucose was higher than 6.1 mmol/L, the rate was 68.73%. When the cutoff for fasting blood glucose was 5.6 mmol/L, the rate of abnormal postprandial glucose decreased compared with a cutoff of 6.1 mmol/L (11.59% vs. 14.32%, respectively). Combined with HbA1c screening, the rate of postprandial glucose abnormalities were both reduced (8.83% vs.11.59% for 5.6 mmol/L; 10.08% vs. 14.32% for 6.1 mmol/L). A total of 5 872 individuals had complete information and were included in the analysis. Participants who were men, >45 years old, and were overweight or obese had higher risk for abnormal postprandial glucose [ OR(95% CI): 2.85(2.33-3.48), 2.15(1.76-2.62), 1.82(1.45-2.27), and 2.64(2.04-3.42), respectively, P<0.05]. Hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia were also risk factors [ OR(95% CI): 1.80(1.51-2.15) and 1.52(1.27-1.82), respectively, P<0.05] Conclusions:The completion rate was highest for fasting blood glucose and lowest for postprandial glucose among the study population. The rate of abnormal postprandial glucose was high when fasting blood glucose was normal. Screening combined with HbA1c decreased the rate of postprandial glucose abnormalities. Postprandial glucose testing should be recommended for those who are male, older, overweight or obese, and have other risk factors including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on mice with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and its effect on intestinal flora. MethodsA total of 40 mice were randomly divided into control group (CON group), model group (MOD group), FMT group (feces of the mice in the CON group were used as fecal microbiota donor), and FMT model group (ANFMT group, with feces of the mice in the MOD group as fecal microbiota donor), with 10 mice in each group. All mice were observed in terms of body weight, death, liver histopathology, and changes in aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and intestinal flora. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups, and the SNK-q test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the CON group, the MOD group had a significant reduction in body weight and significant increases in AST and ALT (all P＜0.05), as well as large patchy necrosis of hepatocytes, significant increases in Verrucomicrobia, Akkermansia, and Erysipelatoclostridium, and significant reductions in Dubosiella and Duncaniella (all P＜0.05). Compared with the CON group, the ANFMT group had a significant increase in AST (P＜0.05), hepatocyte swelling and mild ballooning degeneration, significant increases in Unclassified and Faecalibaculum, and significant reductions in Patescibacteria, Deferribacteres, Muribaculum, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, Rikenella, Odoribacter, Mucispirillum, and Lachnospiraceae_unclassified (all P＜0.05). Compared with the MOD group, the FMT group had significant reductions in AST and ALT (both P＜0.05), mild hepatocellular necrosis and marked ballooning degeneration, significant increases in Paramuribaculum and Bilophila, and significant reductions in Firmicutes, Rikenella, and Absiella (all P＜0.05). ConclusionIntestinal flora disturbance is observed in ACLF mice, and dysbacteriosis may lead to liver injury. FMT can alleviate liver inflammation in ACLF mice and thus exert a protective effect.
