OBJECTIVETo explore the preventive effect of Qingyi Decoction (QYD) on post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia.

METHODSOne hundred and twenty-five patients scheduled to receive ERCP were randomized by the digital table into three groups, two were medicated respectively with QYD (39 cases) and octreotide (42 cases), the other one was untreated for control (44 cases). Changes of blood levels of amylase, C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-10 (IL-10), as well as the incidence of pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia was observed and compared.

RESULTSThe 4 h and 24 h post-operational blood amylase (U/L) was 132.03 +/- 75.29 and 153.15 +/- 78.69 in the QYD group, and 134.74 +/- 22.24 and 148.50 +/- 79.37 in the octreotide group, all were significantly lower than those in the control group (241.27 +/- 137.04 and 286.89 +/- 133.77), respectively. The 24 h CRP (mg/L) in both QYD and octreotide group (11.05 +/- 3.57 and 12.48 +/- 3.80) was also lower than that in the control group (17.70 +/- 4.93, P < 0.05), while the 24 h IL-10 (ng/L) in the QYD group (105.00 +/- 31.85) was higher than that in the octreotide group (77.98 +/- 33.13) and the control group (75.98 +/- 30.99) respectively. The incidence of pancreatitis in the QYD, octreotide, and the control group was 2.6%, 0 and 11.4%, that of hyperamylasemia in them 28.2%, 21.4%, and 56.8%, respectively. The occurrence rate of hyperamylasemia was lower in the QYD group and the octreotide group than in the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONQYD could lower CRP and up-regulate IL-10 level, restrain the inflammation reaction and reduce the blood amylase level in the post-ERCP period, thus reducing the incidence of hyperamylasemia.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of simvastatin on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis(EAE)and explore its mechanisms. Methods Fifty-five Wistar rats were randomly divided into EAE group (n=15),.STATINS group(n=15),triptolide(TP)group(n=15)and normal control group(n=10).In STATINS group,the rats were given simvastatin and the changes in the expressions of P53,interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)were observed,with triptofide as the positive control.Results Compared to the EAE group,the rats in STATINS group had significantly lowered incidence of EAE,mild symptoms,reduced body weight loss and lesion foci number,and prolonged latency of EAE onset(P＜0.05).The rats in the TP group also exhibited significantly milder symptoms and fewer lesion foci than the EAE group(P＜0.05),but the body weight changes.,latency or incidence of EAE had no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Simvastatin significantly suppressed the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α and increased the expressions of P53 and TGF-β in rats with EAE,whereas TP only resulted in significant suppression of TNF-αexpression(P＜0.05).The expressions of P53 and TGF-β were significantly higher in STATINS group than in TP group(P＜0.05),but the expressions of TNF-α and IL-6 were comparable between the two groups(P＞0.05). Conclusions Simvastatin Can suppress EAE more effectively than TP by suppressing the expressions of the inflammatory factors such as IL-6 and TNF-α and promoting the expressions of P53 and TGF-β.

Objective To investigate the effects of astragaloside Ⅳ(AS-Ⅳ)on axon growth inhibitory factor A(Nogo-A)and its downstream pathway protein RHO-associated coiled spiral kinase 2(ROCK2)in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis(EAE)mice,and to explore the mechanism by which it promotes axon repair and regeneration.Methods EAE model was induced in C57BL/6 female mice by subcutaneous injection of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35-55(MOG35-55).Mice were randomly divided into EAE group and AS-Ⅳ group(n=8 per group).EAE group received intraperitoneal injection of PBS on the 3rd day post-immunization,while AS-Ⅳ group was administered AS-Ⅳ at a dosage of 30mg/(kg.d)once daily,0.2 ml per injection,for 25 consecutive days.On the 28th day post-immunization,the expression levels of growth-associated protein 43(GAP-43),neuronal core antigen(NeuN),microtubule associated protein 2(MAP-2),glial fibroacidic protein(GFAP),and Iba1 in the spinal cord were detected using immunofluorescence assay.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)was conducted to detect mRNA expression levels of GAP-43,Nogo-A,and Nogo receptor(NgR)genes.Western blotting was utilized to determine the expression levels of GAP-43,Nogo-A,ROCK2,phosphorylated myosin phosphatase(p-MYPT1),B-lymphoblastoma-2(Bcl-2),and Bcl-2 associated X protein(Bax).Results Compared with EAE group,AS-Ⅳ treatment significantly reduced the positive cell expression rates of Iba1 microglia and GFAP astrocyte in spinal cord(P<0.01 and P<0.001,respectively),while it also increased the positive expression rates of NeuN and MAP-2(P<0.001 and P<0.05,respectively).The treatment also upregulated the expression level of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2(P<0.001)and downregulated the expression level of pro-apoptotic factor Bax(P<0.05),leading to an increase in Bcl-2/Bax ratio(P<0.05).Furthermore,AS-Ⅳ enhanced the expression of GAP-43 protein(P<0.05)and decreased the mRNA expression levels of neuroregeneration inhibitor Nogo receptor(NgR)and ROCK2 gene(P<0.001,P<0.05,respectively);as well as decreased the expression levels of Nogo-A,ROCK2 and p-MYPT1 proteins(P<0.05,P<0.001).Conclusion AS-Ⅳ may inhibit the activation of microglia and astrocytes and neuronal apoptosis in EAE mice by inhibiting Nogo-A and downstream pathway ROCK 2,thereby promoting the expression of GAP-43,NeuN and MAP-2,alleviating neuronal damage,and facilitating axon repair and regeneration.

Objective:To explore the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of Buyang Huanwu Tang (BYHWT) on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) at different stages. Method:The 36 female C57BL/6 mice were immunized subcutaneously with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptides (MOG_35-55),then randomly divided into 9, 17, 28 d EAE control group. Each BYHWT group was orally given drugs on the 3^rd day after immunization (50 g·kg^-1·d^-1), and EAE control group was given the same volume of normal saline in the same way once a day for 9, 17 and 28 d after immunization. The effect of BYHWT on EAE mice was observed with internationally accepted clinical score. Brain and spinal cord specimens were collected at 9, 17 and 28 d after immunization. The neuroprotective effect of BYHWT was observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and solid blue staining (LFB). The expressions of BDNF and GAP-43 in spinal cord and brain were detected by Western blot. Result:After treatment, BYHWT can significantly inhibit myelitis cell infiltration and alleviate myelin loss. Compared with EAE group, the expression of Nogo-A in the spinal cord of each BYHWT group was significantly down-regulated (P<0.01), and the expression of BDNF in the spinal cord was significantly up-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01) in the BYHWT group 17 and 28 d group compared with EAE group 17 and 28 d group. Compared with EAE 9, 17 d group, GAP-43 expression was significantly up-regulated in the spinal cord of BYHWT 9, 17 d group (P<0.01). Conclusion:BYHWT can improve the local nerve growth microenvironment and promote the expression of NTFs, reduce the expressions of neuroinhibitory factors, and play a role in neuroprotection.

Aim To explore the protective effect of an-thocyanin B2(PCB2)on hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)induced oxidative damage and apoptosis in human oli-godendrocytes(MO3.13)and the underlying mecha-nism.Methods The optimal concentration of H2O2 and PCB2 for action was screened,and divided into normal group,PCB2 group(100 mg·L-1 PCB2 treat-ment for 24 hours),H2 O2 model group(500 μmol·L-1 H2O2 treatment for 24 hours),and H2O2+PCB2 group(500 μmol·L-1 H2O2 and 100 mg·L-1 PCB2 co-treated for 24 hours).FRAP method was used to detect the antioxidant capacity of PCB2;CCK-8 meth-od was used to detect the survival rate of cells in each group,while LDH method was used to assess cytotoxic-ity.Microenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and ELISA were used to examine the levels of LDH,NO,H2O2,as well as the activities of CAT and SOD in each group of cells.Immunofluorescence and Western blot were used to detect the protein expression levels of NRF2,xCT,HO-1,ferritin,and GPX4 in each group of cells.FerroOrange fluorescent probe was used to de-tect the intracellular content of ferrous ions(Fe2+).Results H2O2 could induce MO3.13 oxidative dam-age and lead to cell ferroptosis,while PCB2 could alle-viate MO3.13 oxidative damage and ferroptosis.Com-pared with the H2O2 model group,PCB2 intervention could significantly increase LDH content in MO3.13,reduce NO and H2O2 content,and improve SOD and CAT activity,and up-regulate the protein expression levels of NRF2,xCT,HO-1,ferritin,and GPX4.Conclusion PCB2 can enhance cellular antioxidant capacity and alleviate H2O2 induced MO3.13 oxidative damage through the NRF2/HO-1/xCT/GPX4 axis.
