Objective To explore lymphocyte differentially expressed protein profile and its pathogenic significance in Huaihua Dong peoples with hypertension.Methods The lymphocyte protein profiles among 130 cases of blood specimen were detected and identified with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and Mascot search against protein database.Results The reproducible protein-maps of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis were obtained among three groups.Compared with Dong normal peoples,the protein disulfide isomerase-related protein 5 and heat shock protein 27 showed higher expressions in the Dong peoples with hypertension (P ＜ 0.01),but chain A,structure of haemoglobin in the deoxy quaternary state with ligand bound at the alpha haems is no statistical significance(P ＞0.05).Those three proteins were upregulated in Han peoples with hypertension (P ＜0.01).Conclusions The up-regulation of the protein disulfide isomerase-related protein 5 and heat shock protein 27 in the Dong and Han peoples with hypertension suggest that those two proteins might be associated with the occurrence and development of hypertension.

This review introduced the research progress of covalent modification strategies in local anesthetic drug delivery systems. As a commonly used and multimodal analgesic drug, local anesthetics have limited duration of action and potential toxicity in clinical application. In order to prolong the analgesic effect and reduce systemic toxicity, researchers are committed to the development of sustained-release local anesthetics with long-lasting dose-controlled-release functions. When it comes to the delivery of local anesthetics, the covalent modification strategy is a key approach. By covalently binding drugs to large molecule carriers, covalent modification strategies can improve drug stability, targeting and delivery efficiency. Macromolecular prodrugs can modulate the kinetic process of the drug, so that the drug is released in the form of the active ingredient and achieve better therapeutic effects. In recent years, stimulus-responsive macromolecular prodrugs have become a research hotpot for local anesthetic drug delivery systems, and the stimulus-responsive performance of macromolecular prodrugs can rapidly release drugs under internal and external stimulus conditions, and maintain low toxicity and high efficiency in blood circulation and normal tissues. These emerging research directions provide important guidance for prolonging the analgesic effect of local anesthetics and reducing systemic toxicity, and provide new idea for the development of more effective drug delivery systems in the future.

Objective To discuss the influence of pomegranate polyphenols in cognitive impairment of chronic cerebral hypo-perfused rats.Methods Healthy male Wistar rats were selected in our study and randomly divided into sham-operated group,bilateral common carotid artery occlusion/two-vessel occlusion group (2VO control group) and 2VO+PJ (pomegranate Juice) group.The chronic cerebral hypo-perfused rat models were established by permanent occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries of rats; one week after surgery,the rats in the first two groups were fed with sugar water and those in the last group were fed with pomegranate juice at a dosage of 2 mL/d by gavage for 7 weeks.Then,spatial learning and memory abilities were assessed using Morris water maze test.After that,the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the cortex and hippocampus were assessed by biochemical determinations.The protein expression level of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) was detected by Western blotting.Results The time of escape latencies in 2VO control group was longer while the time spent in object square was shorter than those of sham-operated group (P＜0.05); the time spent in the object square of 2VO+PJ group ([6.18±1.32] s) was significantly longer as compared with that of 2VO control group ([3.96±1.65] s,P＜0.05),and that of the escape latencies was shorter as compared with that of 2VO control group (P＜0.05).The SOD levels in the 2VO+PJ group (the cortex:[19.79±3.34] U/mg prot,the hippocampus:[20.87±0.77] U/mg prot) were significantly higher than those of 2VO control group (the cortex [15.79±0.39],the hippocampus [18.90±0.81],P＜0.05).The MDA levels in the 2VO+PJ group (the cortex:[1.21±0.29] nmol/mg prot,the hippocampus [2.31±0.35] nmol/mg prot)were obviously lower than those of 2VO control group (the cortex [1.74±0.42],the hippocampus [2.86±0.51],P＜0.05).The 4-HNE level in the 2VO+PJ was significantly lower than that of 2VO control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Pomegranate polyphenol can improve the cognitive impairment in rats after chronic cerebral hypoperfusion,which may be related to its anti-oxidative effect.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Sangxing Zhike Prescription in treating postinfectious cough(PIC)of warm dryness invading the lung type.Methods A total of 66 PIC patients with warm dryness invading the lung type who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to June 2022 were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group,with 33 patients in each group.The treatment group was given Sangxing Zhike Prescription combined with Compound Methoxyphenamine Capsules,and the control group was given Compound Methoxyphenamine Capsules combined with Chinese medicine placebo.The course of treatment covered 7 days.The changes in the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores of the severity of cough,the scores of cough symptom,and the scores of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome in the two groups were observed before and after the treatment.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety in the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)During the trial,one case fell off from the treatment group and 4 cases fell off from the control group,and eventually 61 cases completed the observation,of which 32 cases were in the treatment group and 29 cases were in the control group.(2)After 7 days of treatment,the total effective rate of the treatment group was 84.38%(27/32)and that of the control group was 58.62%(17/29),and the intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)showed that the therapeutic efficacy of the treatment group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.05).(3)After treatment,the VAS scores of the severity of cough,and the scores of daytime cough,nighttime cough of the Cough Symptom Score Scale as well as the overall cough scores in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and the reduction of the VAS scores and the overall cough symptom scores in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,obvious improvement was presented in the scores of TCM symptoms of cough,throat itching,dry throat,foreign body sensation in the throat,sore throat and pharyngeal signs as well as total TCM syndrome scores in the treatment group when compared with the pre-treatment period(P＜0.01),whereas in the control group,only the scores of cough,throat itching,dry throat,and sore throat and the total TCM syndrome scores were improved compared with the pre-treatment period(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The post-treatment intergroup comparison showed that the treatment group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the scores of throat itching,foreign body sensation in the throat,and pharyngeal signs as well as total TCM syndrome scores(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(5)During the treatment process,no significant adverse reactions occurred in both groups,or no abnormal changes were shown in the safety indexes such as blood routine test,liver and kidney functions of the patients.Conclusion Sangxing Zhike Prescription combined with Compound Methoxyphenamine Capsules exerts certain effect in treating patients with PIC of warm dryness invading the lung type,and its efficacy is significantly superior to that of Compound Methoxyphenamine Capsules treatment alone with relatively high safety profile.

This study was purpose to investigate the effects of CD147 on the invasiveness of leukemia cells U937. The experiments were divided into 4 groups: control group, LPS group, CD147mAb group and LPS+CD147 mAb group. Cells were treated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or anti-CD147 monoclonal antibody, and the expression of CD147 and MMP-2, -9, the invasive potential of the cells in vitro and ex vivo, as well as the invasion of the implanted tumors in SCID mice were analysed by RT-PCR, FCM, gel zymography and invasion test in vitro respectively. The results showed that the expression of CD147 was elevated by the induction of LPS, and the enhanced expression of CD147 on U937 cells increased the production and secretion of MMP-2 and MMP-9 as measured by reverse transcription-PCR and gel zymography. An increased number of LPS-induced cells invading through a reconstituted basement membrane were observed by invasion assays. These responses were down-regulated after blocking CD147 with anti-CD147 antibody. At 30 days after intravenous injection of LPS pretreated U937 cells to SCID mice human U937 cells were found in the bone marrow and lung of the mice, indicating the invasion of the tumor cells. And overexpressions of CD147, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were found in the lung tissue of the mice injected with LPS-treated but not anti-CD147 antibody treated tumor cells. It is concluded that overexpression of CD147 on U937 cells may increase the secretion and activation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and thus promote the invasiveness of the tumor cells.

This study was aimed to investigate the function defect of partial homing receptor on cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (CBHSC) and explore efficacy and feasibility of intervention in vitro. The expression and activity of active groups in P, E-selectin ligands on CD34+ cells from cord blood, bone marrow and peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry; meanwhile the expression of active groups in selectin ligands on CD34+ cells treated by fucosyl transferase in vitro was determined by flow cytometry. The results indicated that the expression levels of CD26 on the surface of stem/progenitor cells (CD34+) from cord blood, bone marrow and peripheral blood were (7.62+/-0.63)%, (6.35+/-0.89)% and (6.18+/-0.91)% (p>0.05) respectively. And the activities of CD26 of the three sources of stem cells were 67.15 U/1000 cells (1 U=1 pmol/min), 26.85 U/1000 cells and 20.95 U/1000 cells respectively, in which the activity of CD26 on surface of CD34+ from cord blood was significantly higher than that from other both sources (p<0.01). The expression levels of P-selectin ligand on the stem/progenitor cells three kinds were (83.46+/-6.33)%, (15.65+/-0.89)% and (80.17+/-6.85)%, and the expression levels of E-selectin ligand on stem/progenitor cells of three kinds were (25.31+/-1.03)%, (26.34+/-0.89)% and (29.79+/-1.78)% respectively. The expression of E-selectin ligand on the surface of cord blood stem/progenitor cell CD34+ increased from (25.31+/-1.03)% to (63.23+/-1.08)% after glycosylation engineering. It is concluded that there is no significant difference of the expression of CD26 between the three sources of stem/progenitor cells, but the activity of CD26 in cord blood was obviously higher than that in bone marrow and peripheral blood. The expression of P-selectin ligand on bone marrow stem/progenitor cell was lower than that on stem cells of cord blood and peripheral blood. Glycosylation engineering can promote and elevate the expression of E-selectin ligand on the surface of CD34+ cells from cord blood.

This study was aimed to retrospectively analyze and compare the clinical curative efficacy of patients with hematologic malignancies after G-CSF-mobilized sibling HLA-matched (sm) peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (sm-allo-PBHSCT) and sm-allo-PBHSCT combined with bone marrow transplantation (BMT). 100 patients received sm-allo-HSCT in a single center from October 2001 to October to 2010, included 38 patients received sm-allo-PBHSCT and 62 patients received sm-allo-PBHSCT combined with BMT. The myeloablative or reduced intensity conditioning regimens were chosen according to the condition of patients. All patients received standard cyclosporine (CsA) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as prophylaxis for GVHD. The results showed that the rapid hematopoietic reconstitution was observed in all patients. The median time of ANC ≥ 0.5 × 10(9)/L in both groups were 12 days, the median time of platelet count ≥ 20 × 10(9)/L was 15 days in sm-allo-PBHSCT group and 16 days in sm-allo-PBHSCT + BMT group. The incidence of acute GVHD, acute GVHD of III-IV grade and chronic GVHD in sm-allo-PBHSCT and sm-allo-PBHSCT + BMT groups were 37.1% and 34.2%, 7.89% and 8.06%, 36.11% and 41.38% respectively, there were no statistical differences. The relapse rates were similar in two groups (sm-allo-PBHSCT 13.16% vs sm-allo-PBHSCT + BMT 12.9%). The 3-year disease-free survivals in sm-allo-PBHSC and sm-allo-PBHSCT + BMT groups were 57.1 ± 8.7% and 61.3 ± 6.4% respectively (p = 0.852). The 2-year overall survival of high-risk patients was 41.4 ± 12.8% in sm-allo-PBHSCT group, while 60.9 ± 9.6% in sm-allo-PBHSCT + BMT group (p = 0.071). It is concluded that the rhG-CSF mobilized sibling matched allo-PBHSCT + BMT is superior to the rhG-CSF mobilized sibling matched allo-PBHSCT in increasing the overall survival of high-risk hematologic malignancies.
