Objective To compare the changes in TLR4-NF-κB signaling pathway in infant and adult mice infected with influenza virus, and to provide experimental evidence for the study of immunopathological mechanism in pediatric respiratory virus susceptibility. Methods Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were applied to detect the expressions of lung TLR4 and NF-κB P65 mRNA and proteins in the infant and adult mice, and to compare the changes in TLR4-NF-κB P65 signaling pathway after infection with influenza virus.Results (1) The infant model group showed the strongest expression of TLR4 protein in the lung tissue, compared with that in the normal group and adult model group showing significant differences (P<0.05).(2) The expression of NF-κB P65 protein in the lung tissue was strongest in the infant model group, and it was gradually increased over time, showing a significant difference between each time point and the next time point (P<0.05).(3) The infant model group showed the strongest expression of TLR4 mRNA in lung tissue, significantly higher than that in the normal and adult model groups (P<0.05).(4) The expression of NF-κB P65 mRNA in the lung tissue was highest in the infant model group, and significantly higher than that in the normal and the adult model groups ( P<0.05) , and it was gradually increased with the time.Conclusions The over-activation of TLR4-NF-κB P65 signaling pathway may be one of the immunopathological mechanisms of serious injury in the lung tissue in infant rats.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) combined with low T3 syndrome and its prognosis.Method Eighty-seven ACS patients with low free triiodothyronine (FT3) level (low FT3 group) and additional 64 ACS patients with normal FT3 level(control group) were selected in parallel; all the patients underwent coronary angiography.The contents of FT3,N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP),cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and high sensitivity-C reactive protein (hs-CRP) were recorded,and the related factors were evaluated.The number of stenotic vessels was calculated.Results The contents of NT-proBNP,cTnI and hs-CRP in low FT3 group were elevated significantly compared with those in control group [(1242.14 ± 226.32) ng/L vs.(1126.36 ±195.55) ng/L,(0.92 ± 0.23) ng/L vs.(0.84 ± 0.19) ng/L,(6.46 ± 2.25) mg/L vs.(5.71 ± 1.78) mg/L],and there were significant differences (P < 0.01 or < 0.05).The contents of FT3 were negatively correlated with NT-proBNP,cTnI and hs-CRP in two groups (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in the number of stenotic vessels between two groups (x2 =4.512,P =0.105).Conclusion In patients with ACS,there is a negative correlation between contents of FT3 and the prognosis,but there is no correlation between contents of FT3 and the number of stenotic vessels.

Objective To investigate risk factors that affect type 2 diabetic cardiac arrhythmia.Methods Clinical data of 292 diabetic patients who were performed examination of low limb vascular were analyzed retrospectively.Based on electrocardiogram,the patients were divided into cardiac arrhythmia group and non-cardiac arrhythmia group with case-control study,and the clinical data and evaluation indexes of lower extremity vascular disease were compared between two groups.Results Data comparison between two groups indicated age [(59 ± 14) years vs (54 ± 12) years],symptoms of low limbs [40.7% vs 29.0%] had statistical significance (P < 0.05).Glycosylated hemoglobin,hypertension history,results of color Doppler ultrasound for lower limbs artery,ankle-brachial index,toe-brachial index,transcutaneous oxygen pressure,heat-controlled laser Doppler between two groups had no statistical significance (P > 0.05).Age,gender,history of high blood pressure,symptoms of low limbs,and heat-controlled laser Doppler were analyzed with multiple logistic regression,which indicated that age was risk factor of type 2 diabetic arrhythmia.Conclusions Age is correlated with type 2 diabetic arrhythmia,and evaluation indexes of lower limb vascular disease have no significant correlation with type 2 diabetic arrhythmia.

Objective To explore the possible mechanism of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in diabetes mellitus by detecting the level of serum SHBG in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),and analyze the correlation between serum SHBG and insulin resistance.Methods SHBG levels were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 30 normal controls (control group) and 60 newly diagnosed T2DM patients(T2DM group).HOMA-IR was calculated.Results The levels of serum SHBG in T2DM group were significantly lower than those in control group [(22.6 ±9.7)mmol/L vs.43.1 ±11.9) mmol/L,P <0.05]; SHBG level was negatively correlated with triglyceride(TG),low density hpoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),fasting insulin(FINS),hemoglobintHbA1c) and lgHOMA-IR (r =-0.351,-0.361,-0.426,-0.645,-0.483,P <0.05),and positively correlated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (r =0.453,P <0.01).When SHBG was analyzed as a dependent variable by multiple linear regression,HbA1c (β =-0.614,P =0.000),lgHOMA-IR (β =-0.473,P = 0.014) and HDL-C (β = 0.234,P= 0.048) were into the equation.Conclusions Patients who have diagnosed T2DM show low level of serum SHBG.HOMA-IR and HbA1c are key indicators of SHBG,suggesting that SHBG may be closely related with T2DM.

F.H.Chen on rats.Methods:The metabolic cage method and weighing method were used in this experiment;The indictor of urine excretion in 6 h was used to study the diuretic effect of powder ofPanax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H.Chen in the water loaded rats;the output of Na +,K +,C1-in urine were measured to elucidate the related mechanization.Results:Powder of Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H.Chen under high dose after administration of 2h to 5h can significantly increase the urine volume of rat compared with the blank control group (P<0.01,P<0.05),but no diuretic effect after administration of 6h.powder of Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H.Chen under high dose could increase the urine Na+,Cl-(P <0.01) but reduce the K+ excretion,inhibitting the Na+ reabsorption and K+ excretion of renal tubule.It could significantly increase rat urine pH value (P<0.01),the effect ofpH value by which is similar with the effect of hydrochlorothiazide and the effect of Jinqiancao granules.Conclusion:For the first time,this study investigated the diuretic effect of powder of Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H.Chen,The relevant mechanism is that powder of Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H.Chen have an impact on inhibitting the Na+ reabsorption and K+ excretion of renal tubule.

Abstract: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) polysaccharides are active polysaccharides extracted from Chinese herbal medicines, many of which exhibit specific biological activities. Modern research has revealed that polysaccharide components extracted from plants, animals, and algae have a significant role in improving kidney injury. Currently, drug therapy is the primary treatment for kidney injury, with few reports on the use of TCM polysaccharides. This review explores the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of TCM polysaccharides on diabetic nephropathy, nephritis, kidney stones, hypertension-induced kidney injury, chemical toxin-induced kidney injury, and drug-induced kidney injury. Additionally, it discusses the prospects for the development of TCM polysaccharides in this field to provide a reference for further research.
