OBJETCTIVE:To establish a method for the content determination of ethacridine lactate in Compound ethacridine ointment. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 with mobile phase of 0.1% Octanesulfon-ic acid sodium solution-acetonitrile(70∶30,V/V)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 270 nm,the column temperature was 30℃,and the injection volume was 10 μl. RESULTS:The linear range of ethacridine lactate was 10.002-50.010μg/ml(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were less than 1%;recovery was 98.96%-100.36%(RSD=0.49%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,accurate and reproducible,and can be used for content determina-tion of ethacridine lactate in Compound ethacridine ointment.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of benzoxazole derivative 2-(chlorobenzoxazolyl-2-yl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro- dihydro-indazole-3-ol (PO-296) on the differentiation of murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells(DC) and their related indexes as specific surface molecules and inflammatory cytokines. METHODS: Bone marrow nuclear cells of mice were isolated, and immature DC (imDC) was obtained by recombinant mice granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor and recombinant mice IL-4. After pretreated with low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose (1, 5, 25 μmol/L) of PO-296, DC was obtained by lipopolysaccharide induction. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of DC specific surface molecules [i.e. the proportion of class Ⅱ major histocompatibility complex (MHC Ⅱ), CD80, CD86 and chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) positive cells], imDC phagocytosis (i.e. the proportion of dextran positive cells) and DC survival (i.e. the proportion of survival cells). ELISA method was used to detect the levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, IL-12 and TNF-α) in cell culture medium. RESULTS: Compared with imDC group, the proportion of MHC Ⅱ, CD80 and CD86 positive cells were increased significantly in non-loading group (P<0.05). Compared with non-loading group, the levels of IL-10 in cell culture medium were increased significantly in PO-296 groups. The proportions of MHC Ⅱ, CD80 and CD86 positive cells in positive group and PO-296 medium-dose and high-dose groups as well as the levels of IL-12 and TNF-α in cell culture medium in administration groups were decreased significantly (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the proportion of CCR7 positive cells, dextran positive cells and survival cells in administration groups, compared with non-loading group (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: PO-296 has no obvious cytotoxicity and does not affect the phagocytic function of imDC. At the same time, the compound can inhibit the expression of DC specific surface molecules and regulate the secretion of inflammatory cytokines.

ObjectiveTo explore the mental health status and its influencing factors among middle school students in Xide County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, and to provide references for mental health interventions for local middle school students. MethodsUsing a cross-sectional study design, one junior middle school and one senior middle school in Xide County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, were randomly selected on September 16, 2021, and two classes per grade in each school involving 288 students were recruited. Subjects were assessed using Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item (GAD-7), PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-3). Then the scores of above scales were compared among middle school students with different demographic characteristics, and binary Logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the influencing factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. ResultsAmong the respondents, 17.71% (95% CI: 0.133~0.221), 8.68% (95% CI: 0.054~0.120), 2.78% (95% CI: 0.009~0.047) and 45.83% (95% CI: 0.400~0.516) were reported to have symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD and loneliness, respectively. Students in senior middle school scored lower on PCL-5 and ULS-3 than those in junior middle school [(6.46±8.91) vs. (8.87±9.42), t=2.202, P<0.05; (4.67±1.65) vs. (5.60±1.88), t=4.431, P<0.01]. Regression analysis denoted that depressive symptoms (OR=7.630, P<0.05) and anxiety symptoms (OR=3.789, P<0.01) were risk factors for PTSD symptoms among middle school students. ConclusionThe middle school students in Xide County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture suffer a high prevalence rate of depressive symptoms and loneliness, and those in junior middle school are more likely to feel a sense of strong loneliness, furthermore, depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms are risk factors for PTSD symptoms.

Renal fibrosis, especially tubulointerstitial fibrosis, is the most common pathway of all chronic kidney diseases progressing to end-stage renal diseases. Several adaptive reactions occur in renal tubular epithelial cells after chronic injury, such as changes in glycolipid metabolism, unfolded protein response, autophagy and senescence, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and G2/M cell cycle arrest. Maladaptive repair mechanisms can induce tubulointerstitial fibrosis. This article will discuss the molecular mechanism of these adaptive responses of renal tubular epithelial cells driving renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis, and provide a basis for exploring new drug targets for renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis.

In the past ten years, the research and application of microbiome has continued to increase. The microbiome has gradually become the research focus in the fields of life science, environmental science, and medicine. Meanwhile, many countries and organizations around the world are launching their own microbiome projects and conducting a multi-faceted layout, striving to gain a strategic position in this promising field. In addition, whether it is scientific research or industrial applications, there has been a climax of research and a wave of investment and financing, accordingly, products and services related to the microbiome are constantly emerging. However, due to the rapid development of microbiome sequencing and analysis related technologies and methods, the research and application from various countries have not yet unified on the standards of technology, programs, and data. Domestic industry participants also have insufficient understanding of the microbiome. New methods, technologies, and theories have not yet been fully accepted and used. In addition, some of the existing standards and guidelines are too general with poor practicality. This not only causes obstacles in the integration of scientific research data and waste of resources, but also gives related companies unfair competition opportunity. More importantly, China still lacks national standards related to the microbiome, and the national microbiome project is still in the process of preparation. In this context, the experts and practitioners of the microbiome worked together and developed the consensus of experts. It can not only guide domestic scientific research and industrial institutions to regulate the production, learning and research of the microbiome, the application can also provide reference technical basis for the relevant national functional departments, protect the scale and standardized corporate company's interests, strengthen industry self-discipline, avoid unregulated enterprises from disrupting the market, and ultimately promote the benign development of microbiome-related industries.
