ObjectiveTo observe the healing effect of deep partial thickness burns by the injecting of breviscapine and discuss the possible mechanisms. Methods A rat model of deep partial thickness burns was designed,and was injected with breviscapine.The control group was injected with normal saline.The healing time of burn wound of the two groups was recorded,respectively.Seven days later,the tissues of bum wound of each group were extracted and the contents of hydroxyproline,collagenase-1,nitrogen monoxidum,erythrocuprein,and malonaldehyde that were contained in each extracts were measured.The results of each group were statistically analyzed.ResultsThe healing time of burn wound of the experimental group was [ ( 12 ± 1.428 ) days ],which was significantly shorter than the control group [ ( 14.75 ±1.291 )days] ( P ＜0.05).The contents of hydroxyproline[ (3.17 ± 1.136) mg/g],collagenase-1 [ ( 1.28± 0.651 ) mg/g ],nitrogen monoxidum [ ( 2.62 ± 0.30 ) μmol/gprot ],and erythrocuprein [ ( 221.25 ±25.94) U/mgprot ] in the experimental group were all higher than the control group [ (7.32 ± 2.173 )mg/g,(5.38 ±0.363) mg/g,(7.28 ± 0.40) μmol/gprot,(296.36 ± 29.29) U/mgprot ] ( P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜0.01 ).However,the content of malonaldehyde [ (6.36 ± 0.93 ) nmol/mgprot ] was lower than the control group [ ( 1.25 ± 0.59) nmoL/mgprot ] ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionsThe breviscapine injection can decurtate the healing time of deep partial thickness bums and it may be related to the extension of blood vessel,improvement of microcirculation,elimination of oxygen free radical,and degradation of lipid peroxidation.

Cultured primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were divided into 4 groups:normal control( NG ),persistent high glucose ( HG ),hyperglycemia group ( TG ),and mannitol control ( MA )groups.After 1,4,and 7 days of culture,cells were collected.Cell proliferation,cell apoptosis,ROS,SOD,MDA,and NO level,eNOS mRNA and protein level were measured.Endothelial cell proliferation was inhibited in HG,TG,and MA groups compared with NG group.Hyperglycemia memory induced apoptosis of endothelial cells,increased ROS and MDA generation,and down-regulated intracellular SOD level,findings similar to those in HG group.After 24 h of culturing,eNOS expression and NO generation in both HG and TG groups were higher than those in NG group.However,after 7 days of culturing,eNOS expression and NO generation in both HG and TG groups were lower than those in NG group.These results suggest that in hyperglycemia memory cell model,transient hyperglysemia may lead to persistent imbalance in oxidative stress and reduce endothelium-derived relaxing factor NO level,indicating that hyperglycemia memory may play an important role in persistent vascular endothelial cell injury.

Wistar rats(n=24) were divided into normal control group(NC), food restriction group(FR), and catch-up group(RN). Serum glucose,lipids, gastrin, the ratio of visceral fat to body fat, adipocyte CCK2R mRNA and protein levels were determined. Compared with NC group, FR rats had lower serum gastrin and visceral fat formation. The adipocyte CCK2R mRNA and protein levels of FR rats were lower than those of NC rats. Serum gastrin level of RN rats was higher than those of FR and NC rats(P＜0.05). The ratio of visceral fat to body fat in RN rats increased compared with FR rats and was close to that of NC rats. The adipocyte CCK2R mRNA and protein levels of RN rats were higher than those of FR and NC rats. Gastrin and its receptor pathway possibly play a role in the mechanism of visceral fat accumulation in catch-up rats.

Objective: To compare the knowledge and behavior toward hearing protection among workers in different workplaces and investigate its influence factors. Methods: 2 manufacturing companies with obvious noise hazard in workplace were selected into the study. Health management level was distinguished through field investigation and verification. Questionnaire focus on basic knowledge of hearing health, acceptance level of noise hazard, comfort of wearing hearing protectors and atmosphere in workplace was designed and was used to investigate the knowledge and behavior toward hearing protection. Results: Hearing protectors that meet the level of protection are distributed throughout the workplaces. Although company A has a lower noise hazards level, the health management system was poorly executed. The proportion of workers persisting in wearing hearing protectors throughout the work shift in company A was lower than B (P<0.01) . Workers in company A intended to underestimate the noise level (P<0.01) and the health effect of hearing loss (P<0.01) . All the workers were worry about suffering from hearing loss (P>0.05) , but those in company B had more positive attitude toward the protection of hearing protector (P<0.01) and relied on the protector (P<0.01) . The awareness of protection, in turn, help workers adapt attitude and get used to wearing hearing protectors consciously in workplace (P<0.01) . Conclusion Health management performance play a key role in help workers form good knowledge and behavior. To protect workplace health, employers need to creative a healthy supportive environment for workers.

Objective:To investigate the common allergens in children with respiratory allergic diseases in Guangdong and provide the basis for preventing and treating respiratory allergic diseases.Methods:A total of 254 serum samples were collected retrospectively from children with allergic rhinitis and (or) asthma in the pediatric clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University or Boai Hospital of Zhongshan City from August 2019 to August 2020 and tested positive for at least one allergens by ImmunoCAP 1000 or skin prick test. There were 173 males and 81 females, with a median age (interquartile interval) of 7 (4.00, 9.75) years. Specific IgE against eighteen common allergen were tested by magnetic particle chemiluminescence immunoassay. Statistical analysis using χ 2 test. Results:The positive rate of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (85.0%, 215/254) was the highest, followed by D. farinae (83.5%, 212/254), egg white (19.3%, 49/254), milk (14.6%, 37/254), German cockroach (14.2%, 36/254) and ox-eye daisy (12.6%, 32/254). Dust mites were the most common allergens in patients with allergic rhinitis / allergic asthma / allergic rhinitis and asthma. The positive rates of D. pteronyssinus (95.4% vs. 91.7% vs. 71.0%, χ 2=23.257, P<0.001), D. farinae (95.4% vs. 90.6% vs. 67.7%, χ 2=26.916, P<0.001), mugwort (10.8% vs. 9.4% vs. 1.1%, χ 2=7.535, P=0.023), and ox-eye daisy (21.5% vs. 14.6% vs. 4.3%, χ 2=10.876, P=0.004) in allergic rhinitis combined with asthma group and allergic rhinitis group were significantly higher than those in allergic rhinitis group. The positive rates of D. pteronyssinus (96.2% vs. 84.0% vs. 53.5%, χ 2=46.343, P<0.001), D. farinae (96.2% vs. 81.5% vs. 48.8%, χ 2=52.756, P<0.001) and German cockroach (17.7% vs. 14.8% vs. 2.3%, χ 2=6.313, P=0.043) in > 6 years old group were significantly higher than those in > 3 years old group and > 3-6 years old group, while the sIgE positive rates of egg white (41.9% vs. 21.0% vs. 10.8%, χ 2=20.281, P<0.001) and milk (41.9% vs. 16.0% vs. 4.6%, χ 2=36.227, P<0.001) in ≤3 years old group were significantly higher than those in > 3-6 years old group and > 6 years old group. In addition, there were significant positive correlations between D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae, mugwort and ox-eye daisy, cat dander and horse dander, ox-eye daisy and dandelion, egg white and milk, timothy grass and sesame ( r s≥0.511, P < 0.01). With the increase of the class of house dust mite allergen, the sIgE positive rates of mugwort (0.0% vs. 1.5% vs. 10.8%, χ 2=9.714, P=0.008), ox-eye daisy (0.0% vs. 4.4% vs. 19.6%, χ 2=16.195, P<0.001), cat dander (0.0% vs. 7.4% vs. 18.2%, χ 2=11.459, P=0.003) and horse dander (0.0% vs. 1.5% vs. 15.5%, χ 2=15.443, P < 0.001) increased significantly, while the sIgE positive rate of milk (29.0% vs. 16.2% vs. 10.1%, χ 2=8.792, P=0.012) decreased significantly. Conclusions:Dust mite is the main allergen in children with respiratory allergic diseases in Guangdong, and ox-eye daisy is the main pollen allergen. The sensitization patterns of allergens varied in different ages and diseases, and children with respiratory allergic diseases should regularly detect allergens and pay attention to avoid them.

In China, the prevalence of allergic diseases is increasing, but allergy research and allergy diagnosis technologies are still in their infancy, posing certain hurdles to clinical diagnosis and treatment. The detection of allergen is essential for the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases. Clarifying the aetiology and risk factors of allergic diseases is critical in order to provide targeted environmental control and therapy for allergic diseases, as well as reduce patient pain and financial burden. In this study, allergen detection technologies and diagnosis strategies are described in order to provide direction for clinicians and laboratory technicians, improve allergic diseases diagnosis, and guide allergic disease therapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the antidepressant effect of Sinisan （SNS） by regulating glycogen aynthase kinase-3β （GSK-3β）/tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3（A20）/CCAAT enhancer binding protein β（C/EBPβ） to inhibit the activation of microglia. MethodA total of 72 male C57/6J mice were randomly divided into the normal group， model group， fluoxetine group （5.0 mg·kg^-1）， low-dose Sinisan group （4.9 g·kg^-1）， medium-dose Sinisan group （9.8 g·kg^-1）， and high-dose Sinisan group （19.6 g·kg^-1）， with 12 mice in each group. After one week of adaptive feeding， chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS） was performed to establish the depression model. In the fifth week， drug treatment was conducted for four weeks. In the ninth week， behavioral tests were performed， including sucrose preference test （SPT）， open field test （OPT）， elevated plus maze （EPM） test， and forced swimming test （FST）. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， nitric oxide synthase （iNOS）， GSK-3β， A20， and C/EBPβ in the cortex. The expression of M1-polarized ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 （Iba1） and cluster of differentiation 68 （CD68） in microglia was detected by immunofluorescence. ResultAfter eight weeks of CUMS， compared with the normal group， the mice in the model group had a significantly reduced sucrose preference rate （P<0.01）， and the activity in the central area of the OPT was significantly reduced （P<0.01）. The activity in the open arm area of the EPM test was significantly reduced （P<0.05）， and the immobility time of FST was increased （P<0.01）. The expression levels of inflammatory proteins IL-1β， IL-6， and iNOS were increased （P<0.01）， and the fluorescence co-localization index of Iba1 and CD68 was increased （P<0.05）. The protein expression levels of GSK-3β and C/EBPβ were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. After four weeks of SNS intervention， compared with the model group， the mice in the SNS group had significantly increased sucrose preference rate （P<0.01）， significantly increased activities in the central area and the open arm area in the OPT and the EPM test （P<0.05）， and significantly reduced immobility time in the FST （P< 0.01）. The protein expression levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and iNOS were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and the fluorescence co-localization index of Iba1 and CD68 was decreased in the high-dose SNS group （P<0.05）. The protein expression levels of GSK-3β and C/EBPβ in the medium-dose and high-dose SNS groups were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， and that of A20 was significantly increased （P<0.01）. ConclusionThe antidepressant effect of SNS is related to the regulation of GSK-3β/A20/C/EBPβ protein expression and the inhibition of M1-type activation of microglia.
