To explore the medication rule of Chinese materia medica (CMM) in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, and provide reference for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis in the novel coronavirus pneumonia. Using Excel 2013 and SPSS Statistics 23.0, the literatures with the theme of “pulmonary fibrosis” that met the screening criteria were searched, and the association rule analysis was carried out. Frequency analysis showed that the occurrence frequency of Astragali Radix (148, 45.82%), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (124, 38.39%) and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (102, 31.58%) was the highest in the clinical treatment literature. In the statistics of nature and flavor, warm (10 times, 50.00%) and neutral (six times, 30.00%) were the most common. The highest frequency of meridian tropism was found in the spleen (11 times, 25.58%), lung (10 times, 23.26%) and sweet (11 times, 36.67%). In the analysis of association rules, six groups of TCM combinations with high frequency correlation strength were obtained. The high frequency and high correlation CMM combinations obtained from this data analysis were mainly effective in strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi, and warming the spleen and lung, which can be used to prevent the early patients from developing to the critical stage and prevent the patients from reinfection due to low immunity in the convalescence stage.

TFL1 homologs play important roles in maintaining vegetative growth and inflorescence meristem identity. The plants without the function of this gene usually are flowering earlier. Their normal inflorescence development is inhibited, the inflorescence meristem eventually acquired floral identity, which producing a terminal flower. Up to now, the TFL1 homologs have been isolated from 28 species of plants, including Arabidopsis, Snapdrogen and Tomato. The phylogenic tree of TFL1 proteins is almost accordance with the relative of those plants. The inflorescence identity gene TFL1 interacted with floral meristem identity genes LFY and AP1, so as to retard the transformation from inflorescence identity into floral identity. These meristem identity genes such as TFL1 and LFY can be applied in breeding of earl-flowering cultivars, there also have plenty of potentials in breeding fruit-free plantanus, popular or willows.

Objective To identify the role of resistin in insulin resistance(IR) by endoplasmic reticulum(ER) stress in human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVECs) and in rats.Methods HUVECs were cultured in vitro and disposed by resistin (R) or tauro ursodesoxycholic acid (tudca).Expressions of GRP78, P-akt and P-eNOS were determined using Western blotting.Thoracic aortic rings were made and their dilation function exposed to different concentrations of insulin was detected.Changes of vascular morphology were observed by HE staining.Results Results of Western blotting showed that expression of GRP78 was remarkably increased,but P-akt and P-eNOS were markedly decreased in R group.However, there was no difference in expressions of GRP78, P-akt and P-eNOS between tudca group and control group.The insulin induced vasodilation was decreased in R group and there was no difference between tudca group and control.Using HE staining, the R group showed significant medial thickening and proliferation of smooth muscle.Conclusion Resistin can induce insulin resistance in vascular endothelium cells by ER stress.

Objective To observe the effect of triptolide on destruction of bone and joint of collageninduced arthritis (CIA) mouse. Methods Female DBA/1 mice were double immunized at the base of the tail with bovine type Ⅱ collagen (C Ⅱ). CIA mice were randomly divided into model group, methotrexate-treated group and 8.18, 16.36, 32.72 ?g/kg triptolide-treated groups. Performance of arthritis were observed regularly. Combined with radiologieal, histological methods were used, and the number of osteoelasts in bone was evaluated and analyzed with TRAP stainning. Results The clinical score and arthritis incidence of CIA mice were significantly decreased, and the number of osteoelasts in bone cavity reduced by treatment of triptolide. X-ray showed that the surface of bone of each articular was eroded, the joint space was narrow, BMD values of lumbar and knee were decreased compared with normal mice. Triptolide could significantly inhibit the damage of bones and joints of CIA mice, and increase the BMD values of lumbar and knee. Conclusion Triptolide can inhibit the damage of bones and joints of CIA mice.

Background and purpose:Thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) is often positive in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients. This study aimed to investigate the effect of TgAb on radioiodine ablation efficacy in PTC patients.Methods:A total number of 329 PTC patients with no distant metastasis were included and classified into 2 groups[G1 group (>115 U/mL,n=84) and G2 group (<115 U/mL,n=245)], G2 group was further divided into 2 subgroups[S1 (>40 U/mL,n=31) and S2 (<40 U/mL,n=214)], before131I ablation. The median follow-up time was 24 months after a total or subtotal thyroidectomy and subsequent131I ablation. The efficacy in terms of131I ablation success rates (IBR) between two groups were compared and the influencing factors were analyzed according to criteria posed by 2015 American Thyroid Association Guidelines, then the effect of131I dose on IBR was also explored.Results:Female and younger age were more prevalent in patients with high TgAb (P<0.05). The G1 group presented lower IBR over the G2 group (35.7%vs 72.7%,P=0.000). Moreover, S1 group also presented lower IBR over S2 group (54.8%vs 75.2%,P=0.017), indicating the adverse effect from high titer TgAb on IBR. No matter high or low dose, the G1 group presented lower IBR (34.1%vs 71.9%, 37.2%vs 73.2%;P=0.000). However, IBR did not differ in G1 or G2 group either with high or low dose131I (P>0.05). TgAb was the only adverse indicator correlating with IBR in multi-logistic regression analysis (P=0.018).Conclusion:TgAb could negatively affect131I ablation efficacy, while increasing the dose of131I failed to improve the success rate in such cases.
