Objective To inwst the antagonistic effect of thrombopoietin on adriamycin induced myocardium injury in rats and explore the mechanism.Methods 32 Wistar rats were randomized into four groups(n=8):Control group,ADM group,ADM+TPOL group and ADM+TPOH group.All agents were given by intraperitoneal injection.The control group was given saline.While the other three groups were given adriamycin at the dosage of20mg/kg.TPO group were injected TPO at the dosages of 10μg/kg or 30μg/kg three times on alternale days.ELISA was used to detect the concentration of CK-MB and cTnI in the serum of rats.The change of cardiocyte ultrastructure was observed by the electron microscope,and pathological change Was observed by immunohistochemistry staining.The expression level of 8- hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosin(8-OHdG)produced by DNA oxidative damage in myocard tissue were detected.IPP6.0 software was used to detect IOD and calculate the 8-OHdG index.Results The energy of CK-MB and cTNI of TPO group was obviously lower than that in ADM group(P<0.01).The ultragtrueture of cardiocyte in the ADM group Wag damaged more severely than that in TPO group.Pathological Score,IOD and 8-OHdG index of TPO groups were lower than ADM group(P<0.05).These indexes had no significant statistics difference between ADM+TPOL group and ADM+TPOH group.Conclusions TPO can provide heart protection by antagonizing oxidative damage of myocardial cell induced by edriamycin.

Objective To observe the protection effect of thrombopoietin on adriamycin-inducod acute myocardium injury in rats model.Methods 32 Wistar rats were randomized into four groups (n=8):Control group,ADM group,ADM +TPOL group and ADM +TPOH group.All agents were given by intraperitoneal injection.The control group was given normal saline,while the other three groups were given adriamycin at the dosage of 20 mg/kg once.TPO groups were injected TPO at different dosages of 10 μg/kg or 30 μg/kg three times on alternate days.ELISA was used to detect CK-MB and cTnI content of serum in the rats.By HE staining,pathological change was found and grade of tissue morphology was scored.The ultrastructure change of cadiocyte was observed by the electron microscope.Results The energy of CK-MB (14.65±1.91,14.21±1.70) and cTNI (9.66±1.31,10.07±1.20) in TPO groups were obviously lower than that of the ADM group(19.58±3.49,12.50±1.62) (P<0.05),respectively.Pathological score of ADM group was higher than TPO groups (P<0.01).The ultrastructure of myecard tissue in the ADM group was damaged more severely than TPO groups.Above-mentioned indexes were with no significant difference between ADM+TPOL group and ADM+TPOH group.Conclusion TPO can protect the heart which was injured by the ADM.

Background Salidroside (SAL) has a protective effect on multiple organ systems. Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the atmosphere may lead to disruptions in gut microbiota and impact intestinal health. The regulatory effect of SAL on the gut microbiota of mice exposed to PM2.5 requires further investigation. Objective To evaluate gut microbiota disruption in mice after being exposed to PM2.5 and the potential effect of SAL. Methods Forty male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6 to 8 weeks, were randomly divided into four groups: a control group, an SAL group, a PM2.5 group, and an SAL+PM2.5 group, each containing 10 mice. In the SAL group and the SAL+PM2.5 group, the mice were administered SAL (60 mg·kg−1) by gavage, while in the control group and the PM2.5 group, sterile saline (10 mL·kg−1) was administered by gavage. In the PM2.5 group and the SAL+PM2.5 group, PM2.5 suspension (8 mg·kg−1) was intratracheally instilled, and in the control group and SAL group, sterile saline (1.5 mL·kg−1) was intratracheally administered. Each experiment cycle spanned 2 d, with a total of 10 cycles conducted over 20 d. Histopathological changes in the ileum tissue of the mice were observed after HE staining. Colon contents were collected for gut microbiota sequencing and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) measurements. Results The PM2.5 group showed infiltration of inflammatory cells in the ileum tissue, while the SAL+PM2.5 group exhibited only a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared to the control group, the PM2.5 group showed decreased Shannon index (P<0.05) and increased Simpson index (P<0.05), indicating that the diversity of gut microbiota in this group was decreased; the SAL+PM2.5 group showed increased Shannon index compared to the PM2.5 group (P<0.05) and decreased Simpson index (P<0.05), indicating that the diversity of gut microbiota in mice intervened with SAL was increased. The principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) revealed a significant separation between the PM2.5 group and the control group, while the separation trend was less evident among the control group, the SAL group, and the SAL+PM2.5 group. The unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) clustering tree results showed that the control group and the SAL group clustered together first, followed by clustering with the SAL+PM2.5 group, and finally, the three groups clustered with the PM2.5 group. The PCoA and UPGMA clustering results indicated that the uniformity and similarity of the microbiota in the PM2.5 group were significantly decreased. Compared to the control group, the PM2.5 group showed decreased abundance of phylum Bacteroidetes and Candidatus_Saccharimonas (P<0.05) and increased abundance of phylum Proteobacteria, genus Escherichia, genus Bacteroides, genus Prevotella, genus Enterococcus, and genus Proteus (P<0.05). Compared to the PM2.5 group, the SAL+PM2.5 group showed decreased abundance of phylum Proteobacteria, phylum Actinobacteria, genus Prevotella, and genus Proteus (P<0.05), and increased abundance of Candidatus_Saccharimonas (P<0.05). The PM2.5 group showed reduced levels of propionic acid, valeric acid, and hexanoic acid compared to the control group (P<0.05), while the SAL+PM2.5 group showed increased levels of propionic acid, isobutyric acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, and hexanoic acid compared to the PM2.5 group (P<0.05). Conclusion Exposure to PM2.5 can cause pathological alterations, microbial dysbiosis, and disturbing production of SCFAs in intestinal tissue in mice. However, SAL can provide a certain degree of protective effect against these changes.
