According to the definition of professional morality in the employed and profession, the employed,service objects varied professions, three aspects must be grasped: the importance of medical technology must be understood fully, the study of evidence based laboratory medicine must be developed for patients; the responsibility for post must be enhanced to afford clinic correct directions. If these were carried out, the good respect and fondness for the medical technology profession should be trained.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether Jiedu Huoxue prescription can induce macrophage autophagy and inhibit inflammatory response to stabilize vulnerable plaques of atherosclerosis (AS) by regulating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. MethodThirty ApoE-/- mice fed with high-fat diet were randomly assigned into model, low-, medium-, and high-dose (5.35, 10.7, and 21.4 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively) Jiedu Huoxue prescription (Chinese medicine), and rapamycin (2 mg·kg-1·d-1) groups. Six ApoE-/- mice fed with common diet were used as the control group, and 6 C57BL/6J mice fed with common diet as the blank group. The drugs or equal volume of normal saline were administrated by gavage after 7 weeks of modeling, and the treatment lasted for 4 weeks. The serum levels of lipids and inflammatory cytokines [monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6)] were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was employed to observe the pathological changes of the vascular wall of the aortic root. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of macrophages/monocytes monoclonal antibody (MOMA-2) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Transmission electron microscopy was employed to count the autophagosomes in the aorta, and Western blot to determine the protein levels of Beclin-1, LC3, PI3K, Akt, and mTOR. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed elevated serum levels of lipids, MCP-1, and IL-6 (P<0.05), inhibited expression of MOMA-2 and α-SMA (P<0.05, P<0.01), up-regulated protein level of Beclin-1 (P<0.05), and down-regulated protein levels of PI3K, Akt, and mTOR (P<0.05, P<0.01). The model group presented obvious atherosclerotic plaques on the inner wall of the aorta, infiltration of inflammatory cells in the plaque, thickened and disarranged vascular intima where the plaque was attached, decreased autophagosomes and mitochondria, and destroyed mitochondrial structure. Chinese medicine and rapamycin groups showed lower levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, MCP-1, and IL-6 (P<0.05), higher level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P<0.05), inhibited expression of MOMA-2 and α-SMA (P<0.05, P<0.01), higher protein levels of Beclin-1 and LC3Ⅱ (P<0.05, P<0.01), and lower protein levels of PI3K, Akt, and mTOR (P<0.05, P<0.01) than the model group. Moreover, Chinese medicine and rapamycin groups showed only a small number of atherosclerotic plaques on the inner wall of the aorta, reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells and thickness of the blood vessel wall, and increased autophagosomes and autophagic lysosomes. ConclusionJiedu Huoxue prescription can improve lipid metabolism, enhance macrophage autophagy, and reduce AS-induced inflammation to improve the stability of vulnerable plaques in AS mice by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Jiedu Huoxue prescription in promoting the reendothelialization of injured vessels by regulating the nuclear factor (NF)-κB/NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/cysteine-aspartic acid protease (Caspase)-1-mediated pyroptosis. MethodA rat model of injured thoracic aorta was established by balloon injury, and 36 rats were assigned into shame surgery, model, low-, medium-, and high-dose Jiedu Huoxue prescription, and atorvastatin calcium tablet groups. The injured aortic segment was collected 28 days after surgery. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Evans blue staining were conducted to reveal the changes of vascular structural morphology and the reendothelialization of blood vessels, respectively. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to determine the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), interleukin (IL)-1β, and nitric oxide (NO) in the serum. Western blotting was employed to determine the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), NF-κB p65, phospho-NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65), NLRP3, and Caspase-1 in the vascular tissue. ResultThe model group showed thickened endovascular membrane, proliferation and disarrangement of smooth muscle cells of the artery wall, obvious inflammatory cell infiltration, and narrowed luminal area. Jiedu Huoxue prescription and atorvastatin calcium tablets mitigated the pathological changes of the thoracic aorta in different degrees. After balloon injury, the endothelial coverage rate of the model group decreased significantly, while Jiedu Huoxue prescription and atorvastatin calcium tablets increased the reendothelialization rate (P<0.05). Compared with the shame surgery group, the model group showed elevated levels of TNF-α, ICAM-1, and IL-1β (P<0.01) and lowered NO level (P<0.01) in the serum. In addition, the model group presented down-regulated protein level of eNOS (P<0.01) and up-regulated phosphorylation of pyroptosis-associated proteins NLPR3, Caspase-1, and NF-κB p65 in the vascular tissue (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Jiedu Huoxue prescription and atorvastatin calcium tablets lowered TNF-α, ICAM-1, and IL-1β levels (P<0.05, P<0.01) and elevated the NO level in the serum (P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, the drugs up-regulated the expression of eNOS (P<0.01) and down-regulated the expression of NLRP3, Caspase-1, and NF-κB p65 (P<0.05, P<0.01) in the vascular tissue. ConclusionJiedu Huoxue prescription can promote the reendothelialization and inhibit the intimal hyperplasia of vessels after balloon injury by regulating the NF-κB/NLRP3/Caspase-1 pathway to inhibit pyroptosis and reduce endothelial inflammatory injury.
