Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)recipe of nourishing kidney and activating blood for treatment of cisplatin induced acute kidney injury(AKI)in mouse model. Methods Twenty-one male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups:control group,AKI model group and treatment group with the above TCM recipe(each n=7). The AKI model was reproduced by a single intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin 20 mg/kg;the TCM recipe with dosage of 10μL · g-1 · d-1 was given to the treatment group,while equal volume of normal saline was given to the model and control groups by gavage,lasting for 6 days in all groups. The changes of each mouse body weight were observed;mouse venous blood serum creatinine(SCr)level was detected,changes of renal tissue weight and its histopathology were observed under light microscope,and the score of acute tubular necrosis(ATN)was calculated. Results Compared to the control group,the body and renal weight in AKI model group were significantly lowered〔body weight(g):17.18±0.29 vs. 19.33±1.43,renal weight(g):0.28±0.01 vs. 0.32±0.11,both P<0.01〕,and SCr and ATN scores were significantly increased in AKI model group〔SCr(μmol/L):86.77±10.97 vs. 14.37±0.81,ATN score:3.33±0.52 vs. 0.17±0.41,both P<0.01〕. Compared to AKI model group,the body weight(g:18.70±0.28)and renal weight(g:0.31±0.01)in the treatment group were markedly increased,and SCr(μmol/L:21.98±5.52)and ATN scores(2.00±0.63)were significantly lower than those of the AKI model group(all P<0.01). Under optical microscope,there were mouse renal tubular epithelial cell edema and necrosis,renal interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration,the glomerular form roughly normal in the AKI model group;compared with the AKI model group,in the treatment group the degree of mouse renal tubular necrosis was significantly reduced and glomerular form was basically normal. Conclusion The TCM recipe of nourishing kidney and activating blood can reduce SCr and improve the pathological changes of renal tissue in cisplatin induced AKI mouse models,thus it has therapeutic effect for treatment of AKI in mice.

Objective:To investigate the effects of ALEX1 overexpression on cell proliferation and apoptosis of human breast cancer cell line MCF-7.Methods: MCF-7 cells were infected recombinant lentivirus LV5-ALEX1 and the negative control lentivirus LV5-NC,respectively.After 72 h, the expression of ALEX1 was detected by Real-Time PCR and Western blot.CCK8 assay were performed to observe the proliferation ability after 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 96 h.The effect of overexpression ALEX1 on apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry.The level of Bax,BCL-2 and active caspase3 was detected by Western blot.Results:The mRNA level of ALEX1 markedly increased after 72 h(165.81±12.14 vs 52.29±2.32,P<0.01).In CCK8 assay,the results revealed that the cell pro-liferation was inhibited compared with control group in 48 h,72 h,96 h( P<0.05).The results revealed that overexpression of ALEX1 enhanced MCF-7 apoptosis(20.55%±2.50 % vs 3.60%±1.614%,P<0.05).The results by Western blot showed that the protein levels of Bax and active caspase were increased in LV5-ALEX1 group compared with LV5-NC group.However,the protein levels of BCL-2 was decreased in LV5-ALEX1 group compared with LV5-NC group.Conclusion:Overexpression of ALEX1 significantly reduced MCF-7 cancer cells proliferation and induced MCF-7 cells apoptosis.

Deciphering the metabolites of multiple components in herbal medicine has far-reaching significance for revealing pharmacodynamic ingredients.However,most chemical components of herbal medicine are secondary metabolites with low content whose in vivo metabolites are close to trace amounts,making it difficult to achieve comprehensive detection and identification.In this paper,an efficient strategy was proposed:herb-derived metabolites were predicted according to the structural characteristics and metabolic reactions of chemical constituents in Corydalis Rhizoma and chemical structure screening tables for metabolites were conducted.The fragmentation patterns were summarized from represen-tative standards combining with specific cleavage behaviors to deduce structures of metabolites.Ion abundance plays an important role in compound identification,and high ion abundance can improve identification accuracy.The types of metabolites in different biological samples were very similar,but their ion abundance might be different.Therefore,for trace metabolites in biological samples,we used the following two methods to process:metabolites of high dose herbal extract were analyzed to char-acterize those of clinical dose herbal extracts in the same biological samples;cross-mapping of different biological samples was applied to identify trace metabolites based on the fact that a metabolite has different ion abundance in different biological samples.Compared with not using this strategy,44 more metabolites of clinical dose herbal extract were detected.This study improved the depth,breadth,and accuracy of current methods for herb-derived metabolites characterization.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of 06-methyl guanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT),X-ray repair cross complementation gene 1 (XRCC1) and the incidence of glioma.Methods From February 2015 to September 2017,53 glioma patients (glioma group) in our hospital were enrolled in the study.50 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were selected as control A group,and 106 healthy volunteers as control B group.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of MGMT and XRCC1 in brain tissue of glioma group and control A group,and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) were used to detect the polymorphism of MGMT and XRCC1 gene in glioma group and control B group.Results The positive expression rates of MGMT and XRCC1 in the tissues of brain glioma were 47.17％ and 39.62％,respectively,which were significantly higher than those in the control A group (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the positive expression rate of MGMT and XRCC1 in patients with grade Ⅰ,,Ⅲ and Ⅳ (P ＞ 0.05);There was no correlation between the expression of MGMT and XRCC1 in glioma tissues (rs =0.162,P ＞ 0.05);The proportion of XRCC1 genotype AG + GG in brain glioma group was 58.49％,which was significantly higher than that of control B group (P ＜ 0.05);The proportion of MGMT genotype LP + PP in brain glioma group was 28.30％,which was significantly higher than that of control B group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions MGMT and XRCC1 are increased significantly in glioma brain tissues,but not correlatedwith pathological grades;The polymorphism of MGMT and XRCC1 genes may be related to the susceptibilityof gliomas.

Objective:To investigate the advantage of three dimensional(3D)-printed tissue compensators in radiotherapy for superficial tumors at irregular sites.Methods:A subcutaneous xenograft model of prostate cancer in nude mice was established. Mice were randomly divided into no tissue compensator group( n=6), common tissue compensator group( n=6), and 3D-printed tissue compensator group( n=6). Computed tomography (CT) images of nude mice in the 3D-printed tissue compensator group were acquired. Compensator models were made using polylactic acid, and material properties were evaluated by measuring electron density. CT positioning images of the three groups after covering the corresponding tissue compensators were acquired to delineate the gross tumor volume (GTV). Nude mice in the three groups were irradiated with 6 MV X-rays at the prescribed dose. The prescribed dose for the three groups was 1 500 cGy. The dose distribution in the GTV of the three groups was calculated and compared using the analytical anisotropic algorithm in the Eclipse 13.5 treatment planning system. The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor was used to verify the actual dose received on the skin surface of nude mice. Results:The air gap in the 3D-printed tissue compensator group and the common tissue compensator group was 0.20±0.07 and 0.37±0.07 cm 3, respectively ( t=4.02, P<0.01). For the no tissue compensator group, common tissue compensator group, and 3D-printed tissue compensator group, the D95% in the target volume was (1 188.58±92.21), (1 369.90±146.23), and (1 440.29±45.78) cGy, respectively ( F=9.49, P<0.01). D98% was (1 080.13±88.30), (1 302.76±158.43), and (1 360.23±48.71) cGy, respectively ( F=11.17, P<0.01). Dmean was (1 549.08±44.22), (1 593.05±65.40), and (1 638.87±40.83) cGy, respectively ( F=4.59, P<0.05). The measured superficial dose was (626.03±26.75), (1 259.83±71.94), and (1 435.30±67.22) cGy, respectively ( F=263.20, P<0.001). The percentage variation in tumor volume growth after radiation was not significantly different between the common tissue compensator group and the 3D-printed tissue compensator group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:3D-printed tissue compensators fit well to the body surface, which reduces air gaps, effectively increases the dose on the body surface near the target volume, and provides ideas for radiotherapy for superficial tumors at some irregular sites.
