BACKGROUND:The aim of present study is to demonstrate that volatile oil of flos magnoliae biondii pamp(VOMbp) possess anti-immunology inflammatory property.OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of VOMbp on adjuvant arthritis in rats.DESIGN:Grade sampling,randomized controlled quantitative analysis.SETTING:Teaching and Researching Department of Pharmacology,Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.MATERIALS:This study was carried out at the Teaching and Researching Department of Pharmacology,Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December to April in 1999. Totally 120 Wistar rats were involved.METHODS :Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups :model control group, 0.28 mL/kg and 0.14 mL/kg VOMbp group,and 25 mg/kg dex-amethasone group. Allergy were induced in all rats through intra-cutaneous injection of Freund's adjuvant (0.1 mL/rat)at metatarsus so as to establish multiple arthritis model in rat. According to different dosage,the experiments were carried out in three batches with 10 rats in each group.Rats in the first batch were given VOMbp three days before inducing allergy for consecutwe 3 days,in order to observe the influence of VOMbp on adjuvant induced acute non-specific inflammatory;Rats in the second batch were given VOMbp on the 8th day sensitization allergy for consecutive 7days so as to explore the protective effect on secondary pathological changes;rats in the third batch were administratedon the 19th day after sensitization for consecutive 7 days for study in therapeutic effect on sec ondary pathological changes. Meanwhile foot tumefaction and the level of prostaglandin E2in ankle arthritis were observed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Effect of VOMbp on the adjuvant induced acute non-specific inflammatory. ② Preventive effect on adjuvant arthritis. ③ Therapeutic effect on adjuvant arthritis.RESULTS :① VOMbp could significantly suppress the primary foot tume faction. ②Moreover VOMbp of preventive dosage could most significantly suppress the secondary arthritis tumefaction [(0.231±0.065)mL of 0.28 mL/kg group and ( 0.206±0.082 ) mL of 0.14 mL/kg group] ,accompanied by PG-E2 decrement in tumefaction tissues [(0.133 2±0.057 2), (0.138 5 ±0.042 6)OD278nm correspondingly].③ No obvious effect of VOMbp of therapeutic dosage on secondary inflammatory tumefatcion of arthritis could be observed in 0.14 mL/kg group,but obvious decrement of prostaglandin E2 could be observed in edema tissue;While 0.28 mL/kg VOMbp exerted most significant or significant influence on above parameters. CONCLUSION:VOMbp possess inhibiting effect on Freund's adjuvant induced primary foot tumefaction and secondary arthritis,with the preventive effect better than therapeutic effects.The therapeutic effect was proved better in higher dosage group.
4. Effects of daphnetin combined with insulin-like growth factor 1 on chondrogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in rats
Chinese Journal of Reparative and Reconstructive Surgery 2019;33(6):743-749
Objective: To investigate the effect of daphnetin (DAP) combined with insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) gene transfection on chondrogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) in rats. Methods: Rat ADSCs were isolated and amplified by enzymatic digestion. The third generation ADSCs were treated with IGF-1 gene transfection as experimental group and normal ADSCs as control group. The cells of the two groups were treated with different concentrations of DAP (0, 30, 60, 90 μg/mL), respectively. Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) after cultured for 72 hours. After 14 days, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of chondrocyte markers (collagen type Ⅱ and Aggrecan) in each group; and toluidine blue staining and collagen type Ⅱ immunohistochemical staining were performed. Results: CCK-8 assay showed that with the increase of DAP concentration, the cell absorbance ( A) value of the control group and the experimental group increased gradually ( P<0.05). At the same DAP concentration, the cell A value of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot showed that with the increase of DAP concentration, the relative mRNA and protein expressions of collagen type Ⅱ and Aggrecan in the control group did not change significantly, and there was no significant difference among the different concentration groups ( P>0.05). But the mRNA and protein expressions of collagen type Ⅱ and Aggrecan in the experimental group increased gradually, and the 60 and 90 μg/mL DAP concentration groups were significantly higher than 0 μg/mL DAP concentration group ( P<0.05). At the same DAP concentration, the relative mRNA and protein expressions of collagen type Ⅱ and Aggrecan were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group ( P<0.05). Toluidine blue staining showed that with the increase of DAP concentration, there was no significant difference in cell staining between the control group and the experimental group. At the same DAP concentration, the cells in the experimental group were slightly darker than those in the control group. Immunohistochemical staining of collagen type Ⅱ showed that with the increase of DAP concentration, there was no significant difference in the cytoplasmic brown-yellow coloring of the cells in the control group. The cytoplasmic brown-yellow coloring of the cells in the experimental group gradually deepened, with 60 and 90 μg/mL DAP concentration groups significantly deeper than 0 μg/mL DAP concentration group. At the same DAP concentration, the color of the cells in the experimental group was significantly deeper than that in the control group. Conclusion: DAP can promote the proliferation of ADSCs in rats. The differentiation of ADSCs into chondrocytes induced by DAP alone was slightly, but DAP combined with IGF-1 gene transfection has obvious synergistic effect to promote chondrogenic differentiation of ADSCs.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipoca-lin(NGAL) and kidney injury molecule 1(KIM-1) in children after contrast media administration and evalu-ate the effect of hydration therapy. Methods A total of 58 patients with urinary system diseases who were admitted to Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from March 2012 to March 2014 for intravenous pyelography(IVP) in pediatric department were enrolled. The 58 patients were randomly divided into hydra-tion group of 28 patients and non-hydration group of 30 patients. Contemporaneous 24 patients received respiratory system enhanced CT examination without urinary tract diseases and hydration were enrolled as control group. Urine NGAL and KIM-1 of the three groups at 0 h,24 h,48 h,72 h,96 h after using intravenous contrast media were detected by ELISA. Serum creatinine of the three groups at 0 h,48 h,96 h after using intravenous contrast media were detected. Results All of the 82 subjects in this study didn′t occur contrast- induced acute kidney injury. The urinary NGAL of non-hydrated group significantly increased at 24 h and 48 h after contrast media administration ( P < 0. 05 ) and the urinary NGAL of hydrated group significantly increased at 48 h and 72 h(P<0. 05). But the urinary NGAL at 24 h and 48 h of the hydration group were lower than these of the non-hydrated group,there were statistically significant differences(P<0. 05). At 24 h,48 h and 72 h after contrast media administration,the level of urine KIM-1 in the non-hydration group sig-nificantly increased(P<0. 05). Urine KIM-1 at 48 h and 72 h in the hydration group significantly increased (P<0. 05). But the urine KIM-1 at 24 h,48 h and 72 h of the hydration group were lower than these of the non-hydration group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0. 05). Comparison of urine NGAL and KIM-1 at different times before and after contrast media administration in children receiving enhanced CT examination who without urinary tract disease showed no statistically significant differences ( P >0. 05 ). Conclusion The urine NGAL and KIM-1 of children with urinary system diseases increase after contrast media administration and there is a trend of spontaneous recovery. Hydration intervention can alleviate the up-ward trend of urine NGAL and KIM-1. For children receiving enhanced CT examination but without urinary system diseases,the change of urine NGAL and KIM-1 are not significant.

Objective:To screen high-risk population of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to analyze the risk factors in Haicang District of Xiamen City.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted from February 2023 to May 2023 among residents who visited or underwent physical examinations at five community health service centers in Haicang District of Xiamen City selected by cluster sampling method. The self-designed general information questionnaire, COPD population screening questionnaire (COPD-PS) and COPD screening questionnaires (COPD-SQ) were applied in the survey. Individuals with COPD-PS scale>5 or COPD-SQ scale>16 were defined as COPD high-risk group. The association of COPD risk with gender, age, smoking, family history of COPD, history of tuberculosis, history of COVID-19 infection, and using coal/woodstove for cooking or heating was analyzed with chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 4 260 questionnaires were distributed and 4 221 valid questionnaires were collected with a recovery rate of 99.6%. Among all respondents there were 1 904 males (45.11%) and 2 317 females (54.89%); and 217 individuals aged 40-<50 (5.14%), 434 aged 50-<60 (10.28%), 2 194 aged 60-<70 (51.98%), 1 302 aged 70-<80 (30.85%) and 74 aged≥80 (1.76%). The results showed that there were 269 respondents (6.4%) scored≥5 on the COPD-PS scale, 534 residents (12.7%) scored≥16 on the COPD-SQ scale, 646 (15.3%) scored≥5 on the COPD-PS scale or≥16 on the COPD-SQ scale. Male gender ( OR=2.592, 95% CI:2.135-3.146), second-hand smoke exposure ( OR=3.763, 95% CI:2.944-4.810), frequently catching cold before the age of 14 ( OR=3.804, 95% CI:2.927-4.944), history of tuberculosis ( OR=2.575, 95% CI:1.224-5.418), hypertension ( OR=1.547, 95% CI:1.277-1.875), and diabetes ( OR=1.791, 95% CI:1.027-3.121) were independently associated with the high-risk of COPD, while the history of COVID-19 ( OR=0.583, 95% CI:0.476-0.714) was a protective factor for COPD risk. Conclusion:Males, exposure to second-hand smoke, frequently catching cold before the age of 14, history of tuberculosis, hypertension, and diabetes will increase the risk of COPD, while the history of COVID-19 is a protective factor.
