ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of the asphyxia as a Second Hit on renal function during early stage after birth in small for gestational age (SGA) infants.MethodsThe infants who were hospitalized within 24 hours after birth in Peking University Third Hospital between January 2013 and March 2015 were retrospectively enrolled, and divided into different groups depending on gestational age and asphyxia history. There were 40 preterm non-asphyxia SGA infants and 80 controls who were preterm non-asphyxia appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants; 11 preterm asphyxia SGA infants and an equal number of preterm asphyxia AGA infants as controls; 33 term non-asphyxia SGA infants and 33 term non-asphyxia AGA infants as controls; and four term asphyxia SGA infants and 13 term asphyxia AGA infants as controls. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), and estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were tested within 48 h after admission and the incidence of abnormal indexes was compared between groups byt-test and Fisher exact test.Results(1) Compared with preterm non-asphyxia AGA group, BUN level significantly decreased in preterm non-asphyxia SGA group [(3.99±1.69) vs (5.11±2.08) mmol/L,t=2.948, P=0.004]. Compared with term non-asphyxia AGA group, term non-asphyxia SGA group had higher SCr level [(72.03±10.29) vs (62.58±12.27)μmol/L,t=3.390,P=0.001] and lower eGFR level [(25.19±4.07) vs (33.99±8.75) ml/(min·1.73 m2),t=5.238,P=0.000]. (2) Compared with preterm non-asphyxia AGA infants, preterm asphyxia AGA infants had higher BUN [(6.96±3.09) vs (5.11±2.08) mmol/L,t=2.602,P=0.011] and SCr [(76.45±10.11) vs (66.70±13.18)μmol/L,t=2.357,P=0.021] and lower eGFR level [(15.86±2.31) vs (19.54±5.08) ml/(min·1.73 m2),t=2.361,P=0.020]. Compared with preterm non-asphyxia SGA group, there was a significant increase in BUN level [(6.70±3.37) vs (3.99±1.69) mmol/L,t=2.581,P=0.025] and decrease in eGFR level [(14.80±4.67) vs (18.66±5.03) ml/(min·1.73 m2),t=2.285,P=0.027] in preterm asphyxia SGA group. Changes in term infants were similar to preterm infants. (3) Compared with asphyxia AGA group, asphyxia SGA group showed a higher frequency of abnormal eGFR in term infants (4/4 vs 4/13, Fisher exact test,P=0.029). ConclusionsAsphyxia as a probable Second Hit can influence the renal function during early stage in both preterm and term infants, especially in SGA infants.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, including coronary heart disease, periph-eral vascular disease and atherosclerosis, are the first cause of death worldwide. The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is a complex process that involves a number of cellular processes and molecular mecha-nisms, such as disorder of lipid metabolism, inflammatory cell infiltration, oxidative stress, vascular en-dothelial cells injury and activation of smooth muscle cells. Their interaction eventually leads to plaque rupture and thrombus formation, causing serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Chinese medicine has displayed rich anti-AS activities and clinical applications. This review summarizes the anti-atherosclerosis effects and possible mechanisms of Chinese medicine in regulating lipid metabolism, anti-inflammation and antioxidation, protecting endothelial cells, inhibiting the proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells, improving coagulation and fibrinolysis systems and stabilizing the plaque.

To standardize the harvest ways of Dendrobium officinale and improve the quality and yield of D. officinale, a field experiment was carried out to study the effect of two kinds of harvest ways, which were keeping some of the axial shoot and harvesting all of the shoot by the end of the year. Then, the agronomic traits and yield were measured and the contents of polysaccharides and extractum were determined. The results showed that the harvest ways significantly affected the growth of D. officinale. Keeping some of the axial shoot could significantly improved the number of sprout, stem length, internode number and the internodal length, which also triggered increase the weight of fresh stems, leaves and the total of them and dry stems in per unit area, but it could not promote the stem diameter and the polysaccharide content in stems. Keeping some of the axial shoot moderately was conducive to the improvement of the production of medicinal materials in the process of harvesting by promoting the germination and growth of new buds, and to ensure the polysaccharide content by regulating the illumination and the density of cultivation.

This study aims to optimize the most effective component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma on lung cancer A549 using the orthogonal design method, and to investigate its effects of the component formula on cell proliferation, apoptosis and cytoskeleton in lung cancer A549 cells. The orthogonal design method was introduced to optimize the most effective component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma on lung cancer A549 cells. CCK-8 assay and Real-time cell analysis were adapted to analyze the effect of component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma on A549 cells viability at different time and dose. Cell apoptosis was measured by Annexin V- FITC/PI double staining and flow cytometry. Cell skeleton protein F-actin was detected by high content screening (HCS). The optimizing component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma for total salvianolic acid, total saponins of panax ginseng and ginseng polysaccharide doses were 5, 10, 5 mg L(-1). CCK-8 assay and real-time cell analysis demonstrated that the component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma treatment could significantly decrease the A549 cell viability in both dose- and time-dependent manner compared with control group (P < 0.01). Moreover, the increase of cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining and flow cytometry when cells treated with the component formula, which indicating that the component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma could induce A549 cell apoptosis in a time-dependent manner compared with control group (P < 0.01). Furthermore, compared with control group, a significant decrease in A549 cell skeleton area was found in the component formula-exposed cells in the dose-dependent manner (P < 0.01). In summary, the component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma inhibits A549 cell proliferation by inducing cell apoptosis and decreasing cell microfilament formation. All of these results will be helpful to reveal antitumor mechanism of the component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, which provides a basis for the exploration of antitumor mechanism of the component formula on lung cancer.
