Aim Toinvestigatethepro-angiogenic effects of Danshensu derivative ADTM and explore its underlying possible signaling pathway using zebrafish embryosasinvivomodels.Methods Theangiogenesis activities of ADTM were determined in experimental models of normal and VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitorⅡ(VRI )-induced vascular defective zebrafish embry-os.Embryos were treated with various concentrations (50,100,200 μmol · L-1 ) of ADTM for indicated time.The diameter and the numbers of endothelial cells of zebrafish SIVs were evaluated,respectively.In VRI model,the number of intact and defective ISVs in each zebrafish embryo was counted.The total RNA of zebrafish embryos was extracted and transcriptional profiling was analyzed by deep sequencing.Quantita-tive real-time PCR(qPCR)was performed to 4 genes selected from transcriptional profiling to validate the data collected from transcriptome analysis.Results ADTMsignificantlyincreasedsubintestinalvessels (SIVs)diameter in a concentration-dependent manner in normal zebrafish as well as restored VRI-induced blood vessels defect in VRI-exposed zebrafish. The transcriptome data analysis demonstrated that 19 signif-icantly changed genes were mapped to insulin signaling pathway.The qPCR data are in good agreement with those obtained by deep sequencing and support the consistency between the two methods for determining relative expression levels in the zebrafish model.Con-clusion Inzebrafishmodel,ADTMexhibitsthe effects of angiogenesis and blood vessel restoration. The underlying mechanism may be involved in the acti-vation of insulin signaling pathway.

A sensitive and convenient method based on accelerated solvent extraction ( ASE )-liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) was established for the simultaneous determination of 11 phthalic acid esters(PAEs) in soil. The optimized conditions were as follows: By using n-hexane as the extraction solvent, spiked sample was extracted by ASE at 160 ℃ for 4 times, 12 min for each time. The extract was concentrated by evaporation. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was carried out by the multiple reaction monitoring mode after the chromatographic separation with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), using acetonitrile -0. 1% formic acid water as mobile phase. The limits of detection(LODs) for 11 PAEs were between 0. 03 - 13. 0 μg / kg. The recoveries and relative standard deviations were 72. 8% -101. 8% and 1. 7-6. 7% , respectively. This method is rapid, sensitive and suitable for the determination of PAEs in soil.

Objective To investigate the relationship between RELN gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and childhood autism in Jiamusi, Heilongjiang. Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to determine allele and genotype of SNP (exon 6) of RELN in 30 children with autism and 30 normal children. Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) was used to evaluate the children. Results There was a significant difference in the distribution of the allelic frequencies and genotype in exon 6 between these groups (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the communication factors between patients with genotype of A/A and A/G or A/A and G/G (P<0.05), as well as in the total scores of ABC between A/G and G/G (P<0.05). Conclusion The SNP of RELN (exon 6) associated with the childhood autism. There is a more serious communication disorder in children with genotype of G/G, A/G than that of A/A.

Objective To investigate the expression of peripheral programmed death (PD)-1hiCXCR5-CD4+T cells and its clinical significance in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Peripheral blood PD-1hiCXCR5-CD4+ T cells from 21 SLE patients and 16 healthy controls were examined by flow cytometry. The levels of serum anti-double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) antibodies were determined using immunoradiometric as-say. Data were analyzed with t test and Pearson's correlation test. Results The per-centages of PD-1hiCXCR5- cells within CD4+ T cell were significantly higher in SLE patients [(2.1 ±2.0)%] compared to normal controls [(0.3±0.3)%] (t=2.959, P<0.01). The percentages of PD-1hiCXCR5-cells within CD4+T cells in moderate to severe active SLE patients (3.0 ±2.0)% was significantly increased compared to patients with mild or inactive (1.0±1.4)%(t=2.574, P<0.05) and normal controls (0.3±0.3)% (t=5.149, P<0.01). The percentages of PD-1hiCXCR5- cells within CD4+ T cells from SLE patients were positively related with systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) (r=0.475, P=0.0297). SLE patients in serum anti-dsDNA antibodies positive group (2.7±2.1)%displayed a higher percentage of PD-1hiCXCR5-cells within CD4+T cells than patients in serum anti-dsDNA antibodies negative group (0.6 ±0.5)% (t=2.303, P<0.05). The percentages of PD-1hiCXCR5-cells within CD4+T cells from SLE patients were positively correlated with anti-dsDNA antibody titers. Conclusion The percentages of PD-1hiCXCR5- cells within CD4+ T cells from SLE patients are increased and are positively correlated with SLEDAI and anti-dsDNA antibody levels. Increased percentage of PD-1hiCXCR5-cells within CD4+T cells might play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), consisting of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is a chronic relapsing inflammatory gastrointestinal disease closely associated with immune dysfunction. The pathogenesis of IBD is closely related to genetic susceptibility, immune system dysfunction, environmental change, and intestinal microbial dysbiosis. Modern research has found that macrophage polarization plays an important role in the development of IBD and can affect the level of inflammatory response, intestinal mucosal repair, and intestinal microbial balance, making it a potential target for IBD treatment. Increasing evidence suggests that traditional Chinese medicine and its active components can regulate macrophage polarization through multiple pathways and balance the M1/M2 macrophage ratio, thus inhibiting inflammatory response, promoting intestinal mucosal repair, and slowing down the progression of IBD. This article summarized the biological processes and targets involved in macrophage polarization and discussed its impact on IBD. It also provided a brief overview of the latest research on how traditional Chinese medicine and its active components can improve IBD by regulating macrophage polarization, so as to provide new directions and strategies for the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine in IBD treatment.

ObjectiveTo study the changes of primary metabolites and phenols in the fruits of Acanthopanax senticosus at different development stages, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the rational utilization of A. senticosus fruit resources. MethodThe primary metabolites and phenols in the fruits at different development stages were determined via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and then compared by multivariate statistical analysis. ResultA total of 274 chromatographic peaks were obtained by GC-MS-based non-targeted metabonomics and 24 differential metabolites were screened out by multivariate statistical analysis. The differential metabolites were mainly concentrated in pentose phosphate pathway, galactose metabolism, ascorbic acid and aldose metabolism pathways. After color conversion, the pentose phosphate pathway and galactose metabolism were activated and increasing sugars were accumulated. The ascorbic acid and aldose metabolism pathways were active before color conversion, with high accumulation of the end product ascorbic acid. The ultra-high liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) identified 28 phenols in the fruits at different development stages. Flavonoids were accumulated mainly at the green ripening stage before color conversion, and phenolic acids were accumulated mainly after color conversion. ConclusionThe accumulation of primary metabolites and phenols in A. senticosus fruits varies significantly among different development stages
