The exploration of drug toxicity and mechanisms is a vital component in ensuring the safe use of drugs in clinical practice, as this topic has attracted widespread concern. The intestinal flora holds great significance for drug metabolism, efficacy and mechanism, and is an instrumental metabolic organ that facilitates material information transfer and biotransformation. However, an increasing number of studies have shown that intestinal bacteria are closely related to the toxicity of specific drugs. On the one hand, drugs are transformed into toxic metabolites under the influence of intestinal bacteria, thus inducing direct drug toxicity. On the other hand, the composition and function of the intestinal flora are altered under drug influence, resulting in disruption of endogenous metabolic pathways. Consequently, this disruption compromises the intestinal barrier and affects other organs, leading to indirect drug toxicity. This review meticulously compiles recent examples of drug toxicity attributed to intestinal bacteria, explores in depth the contention that metabolic enzymes of gut microbiota may be of great influence on oral drug toxicity, and outlines prospective avenues for future research on gut microbiota and drug toxicity and mechanisms. This not only provides novel perspectives for the judicious clinical utilization of drugs but also offers insights for the safety assessment of innovative pharmaceuticals.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2015;46(2):216-220
Objective: To study the effect of processing techniques on reducing the contents of safrole and aristolochic acid A in Asari Radix et Rhizoma. Methods: The contents of safrole and aristolochic acid A between raw herb and processed products were determined by HPLC, and the differences in the contents of toxic components between raw herb and processed products were used to evaluate the detoxification efficiency. Results: The linear ranges of safrole and aristolochic acid A were 169.2-846.0 μg (r = 0.9996) and 11.6-58.0 ng (r = 0.9996), respectively. And the average recovery rates were 99.83% (RSD = 1.67%) and 101.43% (RSD = 1.25%). The removal rate of safrole in order was as follows: salt system > fried coke > rice water system > alkali > liquorice > vinegar > ginger > wine > alkali-vinegar > honey and the removal rate of aristolochic acid A was in ordor as: fried coke > alkali-vinegar > salt system > alkali > vinegar > rice water system > liquorice > wine > honey > ginger. The removal rate of aristolochic acid A in Asari Radix et Rhizoma by fried coke was over 60%. Conclusion: The contents of safrole and aristolochic acid A in Asari Radix et Rhizoma could be decreased to different extent by processing techniques. Among the processing methods, processing by fried coke is the best method.

Background Retinal ganglion cell (RGCs) death following ischaemic insult is the major cause of a number of vision-threatening diseases.Recent studies confirmed that micro RNA (miR-30b) can alleviate hypoxy-induced cardiac injury.However,whether miR-30b can protect RGCs against oxygen-glucose deprivation damage is still not ellucidated.Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of miR-30b on RGCs damage caused by oxygen-glucose deprivation.Methods The retinas were isolated from the eyeballs of eight SD rats aged postnatal 24 hours and RGCs were primarily cultured.The cells were divided into the recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAVV) control group,rAAV-miR-30b mimic group and AAV-miR-30b inhibitor group.Then the cells were transfected using rAVV-miR plasmid,rAAV-miR-30b mimic plasmid and AAV-miR-30b inhibitor plasmid,respectively for 6 days with the RGCs ∶ AAV as 1 ∶ 10 000.The cells were cultured with low glucose medium in hypoxygen incubator (5% CO2,17% N2,3% O2) or 5% CO2 incubator respectively for 24 hours.Cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 assay.The expression of Tubulin Ⅲ,a neuron specific marker,was detected by immunofluorescence technology to evaluate the survival of RGCs.The apoptosis and necrosis of the cells were assessed by Hoechst/PI double staining.Results The RGCs grew well with round shape and 1 3 processes 7 days after cultured in the normal cells.However,the RGCs were diminished and the cell process disrupted in the oxygen-glucose deprivation group.The relative vability of the cells was 3.310-±0.162 in the rAAV-miR-30b mimic group,which was significantly higher than 0.949±0.141 in the rAAV-miR-30b inhibitor group and 0.900±0.181 in the rAAV-miR control group(t=10.508,10.296,both at P<0.001).It was positively expressed in survival RGCs,with the red fluorescence.The number of Tubulin Ⅲ+ cells was (13.800± 1.924)/field in the rAAV-miR-30b mimic group,showing a significant increase in comparison with (0.600±0.548)/field in the rAAV-miR-30b inhibitor group and (0.800± 1.304)/field in the rAAV-miR control group (t =15.141,14.912,both at P < 0.001).Significant differences were found in the apoptosis rate and necrosis rate among the rAAV-miR-30b mimic group,rAAV-miR control group and PBS group (F=10.851,P=0.002;F=6.378,P=0.013),and the apoptosis rate and necrosis rate in the rAAV-miR-30b mimic group were considerably lower than those in the rAAV-miR control group and PBS group (all at P<0.05).Conclusions The oxygen-glucose deprivation models can be established in RGCs by hypooxygic and low-glucose cultivation.rAAV encoding miR-30b mimics transfection can protect RGCs against oxygen-glucose deprivation damage.

Objective To observe the position and mobility of the tape after tension-free vaginal tape-obturator(TVT-O) surgery using transperineal two and three dimensional ultrasonography in patients with stress urinary incontinence.Methods A total of 32 patients with stress urinary incontinence who had TVT-O surgery and cured were enrolled.Transperineal two and three dimensional ultrasonography were performed after operation 3 months later.Both the position,morphology and mobility of the tape at rest and during Valsalva menuaver were observed.Results The tapes were mainly located in the 1/3 connection of the middle and distal urethra.The length of the urethra and the length of the urethra between the bladder neck and the proximal tape at valsalva menuaver were longer than those at rest.The tapes moved front-down at valsalva manuaver according to the mean distance between the tape and the symphysis pubis.The angles of the tapes were smaller at valsalva manuaver without significant difference.Conclusion It is useful to observe the position,morphology and mobility of the tape using transperineal two and three dimensional ultrasonography.The changes of the position and morphology of the tapes at valsalva menuaver were not significant.But the tapes can strengthen the urine control in the middle of urethra.

BACKGROUND:Glial scar and cavity formation fol owing spinal cord injury inhibits axonal entrance, so limited axonal regeneration, less secretion of neurotrophic factor and inhibitors in the microenvironment of axonal growth are considered as major impediments for impacting functional recovery of patients with spinal cord injury.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze literatures home and abroad related to the biological characters of astrocytes and glial scar hyperplasia after spinal cord injury, and to provide a theoretical basis for the mechanism underlying glial scar formation fol owing spinal cord injury.
METHODS:PubMed and Wanfang databases were retrieved using the keywords“astrocytes, reactive astrogliosis, glial scar, spinal cord injury”in English and Chinese, respectively. Final y 62 literatures were selected for overview.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Currently, studies concerning the biological characters of astrocytes, reactive astrogliosis and glial scar formation fol owing spinal cord injury have achieved some progresses. Studies mainly focus on the sole impediment for spinal cord injury, and treatment also aims at inhibiting single factor, but interactions among factors have not been confimed. In addition, the regulatary mechanisms of specific intracel ular and extracel ular signal molecule in the astrocytes, and effective control and interference of glial scar formation fol owing spinal cord injury stil need in-depth study.
