OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Isodon ternifolius extract on Toll -like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor - κB(NF-κB)/NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)pathway in hepatic stellate cells and hepatocytes . METHODS Using primary hepatic stellate cells and primary hepatocytes of rats as subjects ,inflammatory injury model was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS,100 ng/mL). Using colchicine (1 μmol/L)as positive control and TLR 4 inhibitor(TAK-242,1 μmol/L)as reference ,the contents of transforming growth factor -β1(TGF-β1),α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),type Ⅰ collagen(COL-Ⅰ),COL-Ⅲ in the supernatant of hepatic stellate cells ,and the contents of alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL -18 in the supernatant of hepatocytes were detected after intervention with I. ternifolius extract(1 mg/mL). The mRNA expressions of TLR 4,inhibitor α of NF -κB(IκBα),NF-κB p 65,NLRP3,Gasdermin D (GSDMD),apoptosis-associated speck -like protein containing CARD (ASC) and protein expressions of TLR 4, phosphorylated I κBα(p-IκBα),NF-κB p 65,NLRP3,GSDMD,ASC in the above cells were determined . RESULTS Compared with LPS model group ,the contents of TGF -β1,α-SMA, COL-Ⅰ and COL -Ⅲ in the supernatant of hepatic stellate cells and the contents of ALT ,AST,IL-1β and IL -18 in the supernatant of hepatocytes were significantly decreased ;the mRNA expressions of TLR 4,NF-κB p 65,NLRP3,GSDMD,ASC and the protein expressions of TLR 4,p-IκBα,NF-κB p 65,NLRP3,GSDMD,ASC in the two kinds of cells were significantly down - regulated,and the mRNA expression of I κBα was significantly up -regulated in all administration groups (P<0.05). Compared with TLR 4 inhibitor group ,the improvement of most of above indexes was more significant in the TLR 4 inhibitor+I. ternifolius extract group (P<0.05). CONCLUTIONS I. ternifolius extract could inhibit the activation of TLR 4/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway, reduce the release of fibrosis factors and inflammatory factors ,alleviate the inflammatory injury of liver cells ,and inhibit the activation of hepatic stellate cells ,so as to protect liver cells and resist liver fibrosis .

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of health education in the treatment of pneumoconiosis patients with bronchoalveoar lavage( BAL) during perioperative period. METHODS: Ninety-six pneumoconiosis patients treated with BAL in hospital were divided into observation group and control group( 48 cases in each group). The patients in the control group were given routine perioperative health education, and the patients in the observation group implemented perioperative health education in accordance with the health education pathway. Adverse reactions in hospital were collected,and the awareness of perioperative health knowledge of BAL was surveyed. RESULTS: Before implement of the health education pathway,there was no difference( P > 0. 05) in the health knowledge between the 2 groups. After implementation of the health education pathway,the awareness of health knowledge of observation group and control group were higher than that of the same group before implementation of the health education pathway( P < 0. 01). The awareness of 15 items of health knowledge was higher( P < 0. 05) and the incidences of intraoperative cough and postoperative low fever were lower in the observation group than in the control group( 4. 2% vs 25. 0%,2. 1% vs 16. 7%,P < 0. 05).CONCLUSION: Executing effective healthy education pathway in perioperative BAL is helpful to improve the knowledge of disease prevention and control in pneumoconiosis patients,and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions during BAL.
