Objective To observe the effects and safety of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) combined with Huaiqihuang on frequent relapse nephrotic syndrome (FRNS) in children. Methods Fifty-five child patients with FRNS were divided into control group, which was given glucocorticoid (GC) to maintain the treatment (group A, n=10), Huaiqihuang group (group B, n=17), ACTH group (group C, n=14) and ACTH combined with Huaiqihuang group (combined treatment group, group D, n=14). Continuous treatment was for 12 months. The GC treatment doses, the levels of basal secretion of adrenal cortex and adrenal cortex reserve were recorded at 6-month and 12-month respectively. And the recurrence rate and adverse reactions were observed in four groups. Results After 6-month treatment, the doses of GC were significantly lower in group C and group D than those in group A and group B (P<0.05). The levels of basal secretion of adrenal cortex were increased in turn in group A~D (P<0.05). After 12-month treatment, the doses of GC were significantly decreased in group C and group D than those in group A and group B, while the level of basal secretion of adrenal cortex and adrenal cortex reserve were increased (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the doses of GC between group C and group D (P>0.05). After treatment for 6 months and 12 months, the recurrence rates of nephrotic syndrome were significantly lower in group C and group D than those of group A and group B (P<0.05). Conclusion The simple application of ACTH and the combination of Huaiqihuang can relieve the inhibition of long-term using GC on hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis in FRNS patients.

Objective To evaluate effect of dexmedetomidine on mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis during hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) injury to hippocampal neurons of rats.Methods The primarily cultured hippocampal neurons of Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups (n =40 each) using a random number table method:control group (C group),vehicle group (V group),H/R group and dexmedetomidine group (D group).Hippocampal neurons were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation followed by restoration of oxygen supply to establish the model of H/R injury.Dexmedetomidine 1 μmol/L was added at 6 h of reoxygenation in D group.The viability of neurons was measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay at 20 h of reoxygenation.The ultrastructure of mitochondria was observed by transmission electron microscopy.The expression of cytochrome c (Cyt c),caspase-3,Fis1 and Drp1 was detected by Western blot.The neuronal apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,and apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with C group,no significant change was found in the viability of neurons in group V (P＞0.05),and the viability of neurons was significantly decreased,the apoptosis rate was increased,the expression of Cyt c,caspase-3,Fis1 and Drp1 was up-regulated (P＜0.05),and the damage to mitochondrial ultrastructure was accentuated in H/R and D groups.Compared with H/R group,the viability of neurons was significantly increased,the apoptosis rate was decreased,the expression of Cyt c,caspase-3,Fis1 and Drp1 was down-regulated (P＜0.05),and the damage to mitochondrial ultrastructure was significantly attenuated in D group.Conclusion The nechanism by which dexmedetomidine reduces the H/R injury to hippocampal neurons is related to inhibiting mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis in rats.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of andrographolide （Andro） on angiogenesis in rats with diabetic foot and to explore its mechanism of action based on the Hippo-Yes-associated protein （YAP） signaling pathway. METHODS The rat model of type 2 diabetes was established by using low-dose streptozotocin combined with high-fat and high-glucose diet. On the basis of successful modeling， the rat model of diabetes foot was established by scalding. Model rats were randomly divided into 5 groups with 12 rats in each group： model group， Andro low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups （1， 10， and 20 mg/kg）， as well as inhibitor group （20 mg/kg Andro+100 mg/kg of verteporfin， an specific inhibitor of Hippo-YAP signaling pathway）； other 12 healthy rats were included in the Control group. Rats in each group were intragastrically and intraperitoneally injected with solvents or corresponding drugs， once a day， for 2 consecutive weeks. The wound healing， fasting blood glucose （FBG） and fasting insulin （FINS） were detected in rats after medication. HE staining was performed to observe the tissue damage and capillary number of rat trauma； the number of endothelial progenitor cells （EPCs） in peripheral blood of rats was counted by using flow cytometry； the contents of serum total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） in rats were determined by fully automatic biochemical analyzer； the expressions of hypoxia- inducible factor 1α （HIF-1α）， vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） and Hippo-YAP signaling pathway-related proteins in the traumatic tissues of rats in each group were detected by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with Control group， the wound healing rate， capillary number， the proportion of EPCs， HDL-C content， as well as the protein expression levels of HIF-1α and VEGF and the phosphorylation levels of mammalian Ste20-like kinase 1， large tumor suppressor gene 1 and YAP proteins were significantly reduced in the model group， while the FBG， FINS levels and TC， TG and LDL-C contents were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group， the above indexes were significantly reversed in Andro low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose group， in a dose-dependent manner （P＜ 0.05）； verteporfin attenuated the above reversal effect of Andro （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Andro has the effects of lowering blood glucose and blood lipids， promoting blood vessel formation and wound healing in rats with diabetic foot， and its mechanism of action may be related to the activation of Hippo-YAP signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of Geju Hugan tablets on the liver of mice with alcohol-induced liver injury， and explore the underlying mechanism based on nuclear factor-κB p65 （NF-κB p65） and B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）/Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax） signaling pathways. MethodAccording to the body weight， 60 SPF-grade male ICR mice were randomized into normal， model， Compound Yiganling tablets （0.16 g·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （0.2， 0.4， 0.8 g·kg^-1， respectively） Geju Hugan tablets groups. The drugs were administrated at the corresponding doses by gavage， and the normal and model groups with equal volume of pure water once a day for 28 consecutive days. On day 29， the mice in other groups except the normal group were administrated with liquor （53% Vol） by gavage twice a day at the doses of 20， 10 mL·kg^-1 and with the interval of 6 h. Samples were harvested on day 30. The histopathological changes in the liver were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and the ultrastructural changes in hepatocytes were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of malonaldehyde （MDA）， reduced glutathione （GSH）， and triglycerides （TG） in the liver tissue and the levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） in the serum. Western blotting was employed to determine the protein levels of NF-κB p65， phosphorylated p-inhibitor kappa B alpha （p-IκBα）， Bcl-2， and Bax in the liver tissue. ResultCompared with the normal group， the model group showed increases in the ALT， AST， MDA， and TG levels， a decrease in the GSH level， and increases in the liver injury scores evaluated based on the HE， oil red O， and transmission electron microscopy （P<0.01）. Moreover， the model group showed up-regulated expression of NF-κB， p-IκBα， and Bax （P<0.05， P<0.01） and down-regulated expression of Bcl-2 （P<0.05） in the liver tissue. Compared with the model group， Geju Hugan tablets of all the doses lowered the ALT， AST， MDA， and TG levels and elevated the GSH level （P<0.01）. The liver injury scores assessed based on HE staining and transmission electron microscopy in the medium- and high-dose Geju Hugan tablets groups were lower than those in the model group （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， medium- and high-dose Geju Hugan tablets down-regulated the protein levels of NF-κB， p-IκBα， and Bax （P<0.01） and all doses of Geju Hugan tablets up-regulated the protein level of Bcl-2 （P<0.01）. ConclusionGeju Hugan tablets protect mice from alcohol-induced liver injury by down-regulating NF-κB signaling pathway to alleviate inflammation in the liver tissue and down-regulating the expression of Bax and up-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 to inhibit hepatocyte apoptosis.
