Inflammation response is the most crucial link in the pathogeneses of spinal cord injury (SCI),and is the basis of secondary damage. NF-κB Signalling pathway is activated excessively after SCI,so that numerous NF-κB possessing biological activities is quickly translocated into the nuclear and regulates the target genes,resulting in heightened inflammation and further tissue damage. Suppressing NF-κB signalling pathway and controlling inflammation response effectively are effective approaches to promoting SCI repair. It is found that curcumin has multiple target molecules to suppress NF-κB signalling pathway,block the excessive activation of NF-κB and reduce the expression of proinflammation cytokines,which plays an important role in SCI repair. This article discusses NF-κB signalling pathway,the contribution of NF-κB signalling pathway to SCI and the role of curcumins inhibition of NF-κB signalling pathway in SCI.

OBJECTIVE To explore kinetic features and its underlying mechanism of the positive inotropic effect of liguzinediol(LZDO)in rats. METHODS ①An In vivo study was made to record the effect of LZDO 20 mg · kg-1 injected for 30 consecutive min from the left external jugular vein on pressure-volume relationships. ②Ex vivo study was used to record the antagonistic effect of LZDO on reduced contractility induced by caffeine. Caffeine and LZDO were perfused as follows:normal perfusion solution, caffeine 0.5 mmol · L-1,and then caffeine 0.5 mmol · L-1+LZDO 100 μmol · L-1. ③ Ca2+ transient from cardiomyocyte sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was measured to analyze the effect of LZDO on Ca2 +release blocked by thapsigargin. Thapsigargin and LZDO were perfused as follows:normal perfusion solution,thapsigargin 2 μmol · L-1,and then thapsigargin 2 μmol · L-1+LZDO 100 μmol · L-1.④The SR vesicles were prepared and the effect of LZDO(1,10 and 100μmol·L-1)on sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ATPase(SERCA2a)activity was determined according to the ultramicro-Ca2+-ATP enzyme kit. RESULTS ① LZDO 20 mg · kg- 1 significantly reduced the end-systolic volume (Ves) and enhanced the end-systolic pressure (Pes),stroke volume (SV),ejection fraction (EF),cardiac output(CO),peak rate of rise of left ventricular pressure(+dp/dtmax)and stroke work(SW)(P<0.05). However,LZDO 20 mg · kg-1 did not significantly change the heart rate(HR )or the end-diastolic volume (Ved). ② Caffeine 0.5 mmol · L- 1 significantly enhanced HR,left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP ),and+dp∶dtmax at 5 min after caffeine and decreased at 30 min. However,LZDO 100μmol·L-1 restored the reduced HR,LVDP,and+dp/dtmax induced by caffeine at 30 min(P<0.05).③Thapsigargin 2μmol·L-1 significantly reduced the SR Ca2+transient from perfusion solution group(100±5)%to(51± 5)%(P<0.05) and LZDO 100 μmol · L-1 failed to restore the decreased Ca2+ transient〔(49 ± 4)%〕. Normalized Ca2+transients were reduced by thapsigargin 2μmol·L-1 and thapsigargin 2μmol·L-1+LZDO 100 μmol · L-1. ④ LZDO(10 and 100 μmol · L-1)significantly increased the activities of SERCA2a in perfusion solution group 0.98±0.10 to 1.17±0.20 and (1.43±0.09)μmol Pi·g-1·h-1,respectively(P<0.05). CONCLUSION LZDO can enhance SR Ca2+ gradient by activating the SERCA2a and might be developed to serve as a potential positive inotropic agent in clinical settings.

Kidney transplantation is the most fundamental treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. However, due to the long-term malnutrition of the patient before transplantation, coupled with the use of stress stimulation, immunosuppressive agents, and high-dose hormones after kidney transplantation, the patient is in a hypermetabolic state, and malnutrition is aggravated. The nutrition status of patients has a significant impact on the prognosis and development of kidney transplantation. Therefore, this article reviews the current status of nutrition intervention, the assessment of malnutrition, the related factors of malnutrition, and nutrition management in kidney transplantation recipients, so as to provide a reference for the nutrition and diet management of kidney transplantation recipients.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the necrosis target and imaging potential of necrotic myocardium of 131I-emodin and 131I-emodic acid. The iodogen coating method was used to radioiodinate emodin and emodic acid with iodine-131. Mice model of muscular necrosis and rat model of myocardial infarction(MI)were established to evaluate the necrosis affinity and imaging potential of 131I-emodin and 131I-emodic acid. Mice were sacrificed at 2, 12 and 24 h after injection respectively. The radioactive uptake in major organs and necrotic muscle were calculated by a γ-counter. At 6 h after administration, SPECT/CT imaging of necrotic myocardium in rats, biodistribution detection, histopathological analysis were applied to evaluate their necrosis affinity and imaging potential. The results of biodistribution from mice demonstrated that 131I-emodin and 131I-emodic acid showed peculiar necrosis target and exhibited an obvious clearance of radioactivity from normal organs. On SPECT/CT images, relatively high uptake as a hot spot was shown in the heart of the model rat, while no obvious uptake was observed in the heart of the control rat. The radioactivity ratios of necrotic to normal myocardium of 131I-emodin and 131I-emodic acid amounted up to 9. 72 and 13. 14 by quantitative autoradiography analysis, respectively. These results suggested that 131I-emodin and 131I-emodic acid possess the necrosis target and imaging potential of necrotic myocardium.
