OBJECTIVE To explore the protective mechanism of amifostine on acute radiation injury mice. METHODS Thirty C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal control group, model group and amifostine group (150 mg/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Thirty minutes before irradiation, the mice in the amifostine group were intraperitoneally injected with amifostine; normal control group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intraperitoneally; then acute radiation injury was induced by 4 Gy X-ray radiation in both model group and amifostine group. The white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count and red blood cell (RBC) count in mice were detected 2 hours before irradiation and on days 1, 4, 7, 10 and 14 after irradiation; the changes in the proportion of WBC (neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes) on the 7th day after irradiation were analyzed. The 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the structure of gut microbiota in mice feces on the 7th day after irradiation, then its correlation with WBC was analyzed. RESULTS The counts of WBC on the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th day after irradiation, platelet count on the 10th day after irradiation and RBC count on the 1st day after irradiation in the amifostine group were significantly higher than those in model group (P<0.05). Compared with normal control group,β diversity of gut microbiome showed significant change, relative abundance of Firmicutes increased and that of Bacteroidetes decreased in model group. Amifostine could reverse the change in β diversity of gut microbiome, and the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. The model group consisted of four distinct species, namely Allobaculum, Erysipelotrichia, Erysipelotrichales and Erysipelotrichaceae, which were significantly negatively correlated with the proportion of peripheral blood lymphocytes (P<0.01); amifostine group consisted of two distinct species, namely Lactobacillus murinus and L. crispatus, which were significantly negatively correlated with the proportion of neutrophils (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Amifostine significantly improves irradiation-induced injury by regulating dysbiosis of LY201816) gut microbiota.

Objective:To investigate the changing trend of mortality rate and death cause spectrum among household-registered residents aged 60 and above in Beijing from 2007 to 2020.Methods:The mortality data was collected from the Beijing Death Information Registration and Management System. We calculated the mortality rates and constituent ratios by gender, age groups, and death causes and estimated the changing trend of mortality rate and average annual percent change (AAPC) by Joinpoint 4.3.1.Results:The crude mortality rate decreased from 27.62‰ in 2007 to 23.55‰ in 2020 (AAPC=-1.18%, P<0.001), and the standard rate also decreased from 25.39‰ in 2007 to 19.85‰ in 2020 (AAPC=-1.68%, P<0.001) among registered residents aged 60 and above in Beijing. The top 5 causes of death were heart diseases, malignant tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and endocrine and nutritional metabolic diseases, accounting for 87.1% of the total deaths. The mortality rates of heart diseases (AAPC=-1.08%, P=0.024), cerebrovascular diseases (AAPC=-3.79%, P<0.001), malignant tumors (AAPC=-0.31%, P=0.006) and respiratory diseases (AAPC=-5.56%, P=0.007) showed a decreasing trend. The rate of injury and poisoning showed an increasing trend (AAPC=1.54%, P=0.001), while no statistically significant change was found in endocrine and nutritional metabolic diseases mortality rates (AAPC=-1.46%, P=0.054). Conclusions:The mortality rate of registered residents aged 60 years and over in Beijing showed a downward trend from 2007 to 2020. Heart diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, malignant tumors, and respiratory diseases should be treated as the key diseases for prevention and control, and targeted measures should be taken to improve the health level of the elderly population.

[Objective] To analyze the influence of the cycle length of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) double reagent positive samples collected from voluntary blood donors in Guangzhou on the detection results. [Methods] A total of 127 044 blood samples from voluntary blood donors at Guangzhou Blood Center from August 10 to December 9, 2023 were selected. Two ELISA reagents were used for HBsAg detection, and samples with HBsAg double reagent positive and S/CO values<10 were tested continuously for 7 days to observe the changes in their S/CO values. [Results] A total of 505 HBsAg double reagent positive samples were detected, of which 52 had S/CO values less than 10. After 7 consecutive days of uninterrupted testing, the S/CO values of Wantai (median 5 decreased to 3) and Xinchuang (median 5 decreased to 3) showed an overall downward trend, and the HBsAg missed detection rate showed an upward trend (from 0 on the first day to 1/10 000 on the seventh day). A total of 13 cases had negative double reagent test results within the 7-day testing cycle. [Conclusion] With the extension of the detection cycle, the S/CO value of HBsAg detection shows a downward trend, and the missed detection rate of HBsAg shows an upward trend. Samples used for HBsAg detection should be tested promptly after sampling to improve the quality of blood testing.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of modified Shuyuwan (SYW) on hippocampal myelin sheath injury in vascular dementia (VD) model rats. MethodSixty male SD rats of SPF grade were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, and high-, medium- and low-dose modified SYW groups, with 12 rats in each group. The VD model was induced by bilateral carotid artery ligation in rats of the groups except for those of the sham operation group. After modeling, rats were screened by the water maze test, followed by drug treatment by gavage. Specifically, rats in the modified SYW groups were treated with modified SYW at 10, 5, 2.5 g·kg-1·d-1, accordingly, and those in other groups were administered with the same amount of normal saline. After intragastric administration for 28 days, the spatial learning and memory abilities of rats were detected by the water maze test. The hippocampal neuron structure was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The content of hippocampal tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and glutamate (Glu) was observed by biochemical detection. The hippocampal expression of myelin basic protein (MBP), astrocyte activation marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and connexin 43 (Cx43) was detected by immunofluorescence detection. The myelin sheath structure in the hippocampus was observed by the electron microscope. The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid receptor (AMPAR) and Cx43 protein expression was detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the sham operation group, the model group showed prolonged escape latency (P<0.01), decreased times of crossing the original platform and percentage of target quadrant detention time (P<0.01), disordered neuron structure in the hippocampal CA1 region, loose myelin sheath lamella with blurry edge, up-regulated expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and Glu in the hippocampal CA1 region, especially Glu (P<0.01), reduced expression of AMPAR (P<0.01), increased protein expression of p-AMPAR and Cx43 (P<0.01), significantly dwindled protein expression of MBP in the myelin sheath, and enhanced fluorescence co-labeled by GFAP and Cx43. Compared with the model group, the modified SYW groups showed shortened escape latency (P<0.05), increased times of crossing the original platform and percentage of target quadrant detention time (P<0.05), closely arranged hippocampal neuron structure, denser myelin sheath lamella with clear edge, down-regulated expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and Glu in the hippocampal CA1 region, especially Glu (P<0.01), up-regulated AMPAR (P<0.01), reduced protein expression of p-AMPAR and Cx43, especially in the high-dose group (P<0.01), significantly elevated protein expression of MBP in the myelin sheath, and weakened fluorescence co-labeled by GFAP and Cx43, especially in the high-dose group. ConclusionModified SYW can improve the learning and memory abilities of VD rats, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of Cx43 expression, reduction of the release of Glu, inhibition of AMPAR-mediated inflammatory response to reduce the production of astrocyte marker GFAP, and promotion of the expression of MBP protein to alleviate myelin injury.

Objective To explore the effect of formononetin on immunity of mice with transplanted H22 hepatocarcinoma. Methods Male C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously inoculated with H22 cells (4×105) to establish a tumor-bearing mouse model. The mice were treated with formononetin [10 mg/(kg.d)] or [50 mg/(kg.d)] for 28 days, and then the tumor inhibition rate was calculated. Carrilizumab was used as a positive control drug. The expressions of CD8, granzyme B and forkbox transcription factor 3 (FOXP3) in HCC tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining. The mRNA and protein expression of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand 1 (PD-L1) in HCC tissues were detected by real-time PCR or Western blot analysis, respectively. The serum levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) were detected by ELISA. Results Formononetin increased the tumor inhibition rate and the positive rate of CD8 and granzyme B staining in tumor-bearing mice. There was no significant difference in the positive rate of FOXP3 staining in tumor tissues of mice in each group. Formononetin decreased the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β in serum of tumor-bearing mice, and decreased the relative expression of mRNA and protein of PD-1 and PD-L1 in tumor tissue of tumor-bearing mice. Conclusion Formononetin can activate CD8+ T cells and reduce the release of immunosuppressive factors in regulatory T cells by blocking PD-1/PD-L1 pathway and play an antitumor role.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety between WangShiBaoChiWan and mosapride in the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods:From September 2019 to September 2020, patients with postprandial fullness and early satiation who met the Rome Ⅳ criteria for FD diagnosis were enrolled from 15 hospitals, including the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University (Shanghai Changhai Hospital), Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical College. The subjects were randomly divided into WangShiBaoChiWan (experimental) group and mosapride (control) group in the ratio of 1∶1. The treatment regimens were WangShiBaoChiWan+ mosapride simulator, WangShiBaoChiWan simulator+ mosapride, respectively with a treatment period of 2 weeks. The primary efficacy outcome was the improvement rates of main symptoms before and after treatment, the secondary efficacy primary efficacy outcome was the total clinical effective rate and the change of the single symptom score. And the safety indicator included adverse events. Independent sample t-test, paired t-test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 251 FD patients were enrolled in the full analysis set, including 124 in the experimental group and 127 in the control group; 241 FD patients were in the per-protocol analysis set, including 117 in the experimental group and 124 in the control group. The analysis of per-protocol analysis set showed that the improvement rates of the main symptoms of the experimental group and the control group were (66±29)% and (60±30)%, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The improvement rate of the main symptoms of the experimental group reached 117% of that of the control group, which exceeded the expected non-inferiority standard of 80%. The total clinical effective rates of the experimental group and the control group were 76.07% (89/117) and 75.81% (94/124), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The results of full analysis set showed that the incidence of adverse events of the experimental group and the control group was 1.62% (2/124) and 1.57% (2/127), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). There were no serious adverse events in the two groups. Conclusion:The improvement rate of the main symptoms of WangShiBaoChiWan is not inferior to that of mosapride in the treatment of FD, and it has good safety.
