Objective To explore the effect of Lactobacillussalivariuson the number of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells and expression of transform?ing growth factorβ1(TGF?β1)in asthma Balb/c mice. Methods Thirty?two female Balb/c mice were randomly divided into four groups:the nor?mal control group,the asthma group,the Lactobacillus salivarius group,and the asthma combined Lactobacillussalivariusgroup. Acute asthma mod?el was established by the ovalbumin challenge method. After extraction of primary spleen cells,flow cytometry was used to test CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg/CD4+T ratio in spleen lymphocytes. The levels of IL?4,IFN?γand TGF?β1 in the spleen cell culture supernatant were measured by ELISA method. Results The level of Th2 cytokine(IL?4)in the spleen cell culture supernatant of the asthma group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05),however,the level of Th1 cytokine(IFN?γ)was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05). The ex?pression level of Th2 cytokine(IL?4)in the Lactobacillussalivariusintervention group was significantly decreased compared with the asthma group, and the Th1 cytokine(IFN?γ)expression level was elevated compared with the asthma group(P<0.05). The level of TGF?β1 in the Lactobacillus salivarius intervention group was higher than in the asthma group(P<0.05). The proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg/CD4+T in spleen lympho?cytes in the asthma group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05),and was higher in the Lactobacillus salivarius intervention group than in the asthma group(P<0.05). Conclusion CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg was associated with the pathogenesis of asthma. Lactobacillus salivarius could adjust Th1/Th2 imbalance and reduce asthma inflammation through up?regulation of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg and TGF?β1 expression.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of exercise (EX), low-fat diet (LFD) and their combination intervention on the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) expression of insulin resistance in rats.

METHODSOne hundred and thirty male rats randomly assigned to 2 groups: Control (CON)-10 rats consuming a low-fat diet; HFD-120 rats consuming a high-fat diet (HFD). The dietary regimen was sustained for 8 wk, at which point the 40 HFD group rats gaining the most weight were referred to as the obese rats. Glucose tolerance was assessed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). During the procedure of OGTT, the blood was drawn for insulin assay (insulin release test). The whole body insulin resistance was assessed by glucose-insulin index. The obese HFD group rats were randomized into one of four intervention groups: HFD-sedentary (HFD-SED), HFD-exercise(HFD-EX), low fat diet-SED (LFD-SED), LFD-EX. Ex rats performed 8-wk exercise training on a motorized treadmill. The CON group had access to low-fat diet for another 8 wk. After 8 wk of exercise and low-fat diet intervention, the OGTT and insulin release test were performed again. To use ELISA technique for detecting TNF-alpha in soleus muscle and adipose tissue.

RESULTSAfter being fed high-fat diet for 8 wk, glucose-insulin index in the HFD group were significantly greater than that in CON group (P < 0.01). After 8-week exercise and low-fat diet intervention, glucose-insulin index in HFD-SED group was significantly greater than that in CON group (P < 0.01). The index in three intervention groups was significantly less than that in HFD-SED group (P < 0.01) . TNF-alpha content in adipose tissue and the soleus muscle for HFD-SED group was significantly greater than that in CON group (P < 0.01). Three intervention groups were significantly less than HFD-SED group (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONExercise and low-fat diet interventions can decrease the TNF-alpha expression in insulin resistance rat.

ObjectiveTo study the hemoprotective effects of rotating and stationary magnetic field(RSMF) in mice treated with 5-Fluorouracil(5-FU).MethodsThe BalB/C mice were randomly divided into control group and RSMF-treated group.The mice were injected with 5-FU,the dose were 150,180,210,250 mg/kg respectively. RSMF-treated group was exposed to RSMF for 1 h a time,twice a day during 30 consecutive days,and the magnetic intensity was 0.6 T.The survival rate and survival days during the 30 days were observed.7,10,14,21,28 days after injection,the peripheral blood cells were counted.On day 8,10 and 14,the number of bone marrow mononuclear cells(BMNC) and the forming ability of colony-forming unit-granulocyte/macrophage(CFU-GM) were measured.The pathological section of femur and the expression level of bone morphogenic proteins(BMPs) in bone marrow were evaluated.ResultsRSMF could increase the survival rate and survival days of mice treated with 5-FU,and induce an increase in hemoglobin concentration,white blood cell count(WBC),red blood cell count(RBC) and platelet number.Also,RSMF could increase the number of BMNC and improve the forming ability of CFU-GM on days 8～14.Furthermore,RSMF could improve the bone marrow angiogenesis and the expression level of BMPs.ConclusionRSMF have an obvious protective effect against chemotherapeutic injury,and it can accelerate the recovery of hematopoiesis and hematopoietic microenvironment in mouse bone marrow.

Objective To study the hemoprotective effects of a rotary magnetic field(RMF)with radiation- injured mice.Methods C57 BL6/J mice were randomly divided into a control group and a magnetic treatment group.The mice received total body irradiation with 7.0 Gy and 6.5 Gy ~(137)Cs?rays.The treatment group was trea- ted with a RMF for one hour at a time,twice a day.The intensity of the RMF was 0.6T.The survival rate was ob- served for 30 days.On day 7,10,14,21,28 after irradiation,the subjects' peripheral blood cells were counted.On day 12 and 16,the number of bone marrow mononuelear cells(BMNCs)was measured and their ability to form granu- locyte-macruphage colony-forming unit(CFU-GM)was assessed.The pathological sectioning of the femur was per- formed and the expression level of bone morphogenetic proteins(BMPs)in the bone marrow were evaluated.Re- sults The RMF treatment increased the survival rate and duration among the irradiated mice and the number of blood cells in their peripheral blood.Also,RMF treatment could increase the number of BMNCs and improve their ability to form CFU-GM on days 12-16.Furthermore,RMF could improve angiogenesis and the expression level of BMPs. Conclusion The RMF treatment had an obvious protective effect against the effects of irradiation,and it accelerated the recovery of hematopoiesis and the hematopoietic microenviroment in mouse bone marrow.

Objective:To explore the effect of therapeutic communication on infusion safety, disease uncertainty, coping styles, anxiety and depression in patients with emergency infusion.Methods:A total of 126 patients treated with infusion patients in emergency department in Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from July 2019 to December 2019 were selected and divided into two groups by random digits table method with 63 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received routine nursing, and patients in the intervention group received therapeutic communication nursing intervention on this basis. The incidence of adverse events of infusion during the intervention of the two groups of patients was observed. The disease uncertainty, coping styles, anxiety and depression were evaluated by Mishel's Uncertainty in Illness Scale (MUIS), Medical Coping Mode Questionnaire (MCMQ), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depressive Scale (SDS) before and after intervention.Results:The final collection of 109 patients with complete questionnaire, the recovery rate was 86.51% (109/126), including 55 cases in the intervention group, 54 cases in the control group. The incidence of adverse events of infusion was 16.36%(9/55) in the intervention group and 29.63%(16/54) in the control group, and there was significant difference( χ2 value was 5.057, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the score of MUIS, MCMQ, SAS, SDS before the intervention between the two groups ( P>0.05). After the intervention, the uncertainty, unpredictability, lack of information and complexity dimension of the intervention group patients' MUIS scores were respectively (17.76 ± 2.49), (12.03 ± 2.51), (11.82 ± 2.12), (11.74 ± 2.24), which were lower than those in the control group (24.72 ± 2.94), (16.31 ± 2.27), (16.13 ± 2.51), (15.39 ± 2.31), the differences were significant( t values were -13.346- -8.375, P<0.05). The confront score of the intervention group patients' MCMQ was (19.13 ± 2.62) higher than that in the control group(13.79 ± 1.96), the avoidance and yield scores were respectively (8.71 ± 1.34), (9.81 ± 1.17), which were lower than those in the control group (14.57 ± 1.93), (15.12 ± 1.86), the differences were significant( t values were 12.031, -18.441, -17.875, P<0.05). The scores of SAS and SDS in the intervention group were (29.43 ± 3.62), (27.67 ± 3.11) respectively, which were lower than those in the control group (37.44 ± 5.31), (40.12 ± 4.92), the differences were significant( t values were -9.216, -15.821, P<0.05). Conclusions:Therapeutic communication can reduce the risk of emergency infusion, reduce the uncertainty of patients to the disease, improve patients' countermeasures to the disease, relieve patients' anxiety and depression, and improve the nursing quality of emergency infusion patients.

Objective To investigate the activation of renin angiotensin system(RAS)in the chronic atrial fibrillation (AF)dogs and the effects of Captopril in the treatment of AF.Methods Twenty-six mongrel dogs were randomly divided into three groups:pacing group(n=11),treatment group(n=9)and control group(n=6).High frequency pacing (400 b/min)of the right atrial appendage was performed for 8 weeks in the pacing group and treatment group with permanent pacemaker.Pacing was not performed in the control group.In the treatment group,the dogs were given Captopfil orally 50 mg twice a day from 3 days before pacing to 8 weeks after pacing.Tissue samples were obtained from the atrial appendages and both the left and fight atria when dogs were killed.The level of anglotensinⅡ(AugⅡ)and the intracellular Ca~(2+) concentrations were assayed by radio-immunity and spectrocomparator.Results The atrial AugⅡconcentrations were (29.83?5.73)pg/ml,(13.23?3.15)pg/ml,(11.38?2.14)pg/ml in pacing,treatment and control group, respectively.Compared with control group,the atrial AugⅡconcentrations in pacing group were significantly increased(P＜0.01 ),but no significant differences were found between treatment group and control group(P＞0.05).The intracellular Ca~(2+) concentrations were(35.32?4.88)?g/mg,(25.44?4.19)?g/mg,(24.06?3.51)?g/mg in pacing,treatment and control group,respectively.IntraceUular Ca~(2+) concentrations were higher in pacing group than that in the other two groups(P＜0.01).But in treatment group,the intracellular Ca~(2+) concentrations were almost the same as that in the control group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Chronic high frequency pacing could significantly increase the level of the atrial AugⅡand intracellular Ca~(2+) concentrations.Captopril could inhibit the RAS activation and the intracellular calcium overload and might present a new component for the treatment of AF.

Thirty SHRs were obtained randomly to hypertension, model group, captopril group and Qingre jiangya capsule group. Ten Wistar rats were used as control group. The hippocampus tissue was removed to explore the damage of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and the protective effect of Qingre jiangya capsule after continuously administered for 14 days. And then the data were processed by principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). The research results revealed captopril group was significantly different from the other three groups. The classification of other three groups is also very clear after captopril group removed. This suggested that Qingre jiangya capsule could improve the overall metabolism compared with captopril. Four metabolites were identified: dimethylglycine, glycerophosphocholine, aldosterone and noradrenaline. Hypertension hippocampus damage may mainly be expressed in tyrosine metabolism, aldosterone-regulated sodium, vascular smooth muscle contraction reabsorption, and Qingre jiangya capsule could reverse the hippocampus tissue damage of SHR.

A rapid detection method of active pharmaceutical ingredients( API) in weak API signal drugs by surface enhanced Raman scattering ( SERS) technology combined with paper substrate was established in this work. By soaking the filter paper in silver nanoparticles solution ( Ag NPs) to synthesize Ag NPs-paper as the substrate, and then the sample solution was dropping on the substrate with SERS detection. On the basis of strengthen ability of Ag NPs-paper, result of SERS detection and optimal preparation conditions, the fast identification method of weak API signal drugs was established. In this case, the SERS spectra of weak API signal drugs and their standards SERS spectra were obtained, where the correlation coefficient of weak API signal drug SERS spectra and its standard was more than 0. 9. The result showed that by this method, the low content API in weak API signal drugs could be well investigated, and the deficiencies of the normal Raman spectroscopy efficiently was also overcome. In conclusion, the synthesize method of Ag NPs-paper was simple, and the strengthen effect of this Ag NPs-paper on the intensity was obviously observed. Paper substrate-SERS method was simple, rapid and sensitive, and could be used to detect weak API signal drugs, presenting broad application prospects in the rapid detection of weak API signal drugs.
