The protective effects of in vitro cultivated calculus bovis (ICCB) on the cerebral and myocardial cells in hypoxic mice and the mechanism were examined. In one group, mice were intra-gastrically (i.g.) given ICCB for 15 days and then they were subjected to acute cerebral ischemia by decapitation, and then the panting time was recorded. In the other group, 12 min after exposure to hypoxia, mice was administered the ICCB i.g. for 5 days, and then the blood serum and tissues of brain,heart, liver were harvested and examined for SOD, GSH-px and T-AOC activity and content of MDA. The tissues of brain and heart were observed electron-microscopically for ultrastructural changes. The corpus striatum and hippocampus of brain were collected and examined for content of dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE). The ultrastrural examination showed that the pathological change in brain and heart in the ICCB group was very slight, while abnormal changes in the control group were obviously more serious. ICCB significantly prolonged the panting time of the hypoxic mice (P<0.001), increased the activity of SOD, GSH-px, T-AOC in serum and tissues of brain, liver,heart and elevated the content of DA and NE. ICCB also pronouncedly reduced content of MDA in serum and tissues of brain, heart and liver. Significant differences in these parameters were noted between ICCB group and controls. It is concluded that ICCB can exert protective effect on the cells of brain and myocardium by enhancing the tolerance of the tissues to hypoxia and the body's ability to remove free radicals and regulating the neurotransmitters.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of aromatherapy on fatigue in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods:Searching related domestic and foreign databases from the establishment of the database to September 1st, 2020, included 6 randomized controlled trials of maintenance hemodialysis patients using aromatherapy to relieve fatigue, a total of 435 patients, including 213 in the experimental group and 222 in the control group example. StataMP 16.0 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results:The result of Meta-analysis was SMD=-0.94, 95% CI -1.71, -0.18, and the combined effect size of the two groups was compared, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z value was 2.42, P<0.05). Subgroup analysis using essential oil varieties as indicators showed that the lavender and citrus essential oil mixed group SMD=-1.89, 95% CI -3.22, -0.57, the combined effect size was statistically significant ( Z value was 2.80, P<0.05); The results of subgroup analysis using essential oil measurement as an indicator showed that the 2-drop group SMD=-1.65, 95% CI -2.65, -0.65, and the combined effect size was statistically significant ( Z value was 3.23, P<0.05); The results of subgroup analysis using intervention time as an indicator showed that the 8-week group SMD=-1.23, 95% CI -1.77, -0.70, and the combined effect size was statistically significant ( Z value was 4.51, P<0.05). Conclusions:Aromatherapy can effectively reduce the fatigue level of maintenance hemodialysis patients, and the positive effect of aromatherapy on fatigue is closely related to the type, dosage and intervention time of essential oils.

Objectives To observe the effect of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on osteocyte injuries induced by the tricalcium phosphate(TCP) wear particles in the calvaria of mice.Methods Thirty ICR male mice of 6 to 8 weeks were randomly divided into a normal control group(n=10),a model group (n=10) and a LIPUS-treated group(n=10).A murine calvarial model of osteolysis was established in the model and LIPUS-treated groups through injecting TCP particles onto the surface of bilateral parietal bones at week 1,3,5,7 and 11.Mice in the normal group received negative ultrasound probe pressing,while those in the LIPUS-treated received LIPUS radiation.Three months later,the calvarias were obtained.The micro-CT,HE staining,flow cytometry and Western blotting were performed to estimate the calvarial osteolysis,osteocyte death,apoptosis and proteins expression of the dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP-1),sclerosis protein (SOST),glucose-regulated protein78 (GRP78),inositol-requiring enzyme(IRE 1 α),spliced X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1 s),c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase(p-JNK) respectively.Results Compared with the normal control group,in the model group the viability of prosthetic osteocytes decreased significantly,and cell apoptosis was more obvious(P<0.05);the osteocytic marker protein DMP-1 down-regulated significantly,but another marker protein SOST up-regulated significantly,which caused the decline in DMP-1/SOST(P<0.05).Moreover,the expression levels of GRP78,IRE1,XBPls and p-JNK of the model group increased significantly(P<0.05) in the calvaria osteocytes compared to the control group.However,in the LIPUS treatment group,osteocyte injuries and endoplasmic reticulum(ER) stress both decreased significantly,shown by a significant increase in the number and activity of osteocytes,DMP-1/SOST,and significant inhibition of the IRE1α-XBP1-JNK activation(P<0.05).Conclusion LIPUS prevents osteocyte injuries induced by TCP wear particles in the calvaria of mice,which may be due to the inhibition of IRE1α-XBP1-JNK pathway activation through ER stress reaction.
