Objective To explore the effect of resveratrol on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) in soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L)-activated macrophages. Methods Human monocytic cell line THP-1 cells under an inducing of phorbol ester differentiated into macrophages. Then the macrophages were sitimulated by sCD40L independently and after a preincubation with resveratrol. The mRNA expression of MMP-9 and tissue-inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in macrophages were investigated by semiquantitative RT-PCR. The secretions of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 protein were measured by Western blot. The MMP-9 activity was analyzed by gelatin zymography technique. Results The expressions of MMP-9 gene(1.53±0.04 vs. 0.75±0.01,P<0.05) and protein(244 930.8±31 268.6 vs. 192 976.8±20 223.1,P<0.05)were higher in macrophages when stimulated by sCD40L. Resveratrol (10 μmol/L and 50 μmol/L)can inhibit the CD40L-induced gene expression and the protein secretion of MMP-9 (P<0.01). The activity of MMP-9 was degraded by resveratrol (P<0.05). Meanwhile resveratrol could increase the gene expression and protein secretion of TIMP-1 (P<0.05). Conclusions Resveratrol can inhibit the CD40L-activated macrophage expression of MMP-9. It may be one of its mechanisms on antiatherosclerosis and stabilization of atheromatous plaques.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the efficacy and safety of colesevelam hydrochloride combined with other hypoglycemic drugs in the treatment of T2DM, and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment of T2DM. METHODS: Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane Library, CJFD, VIP and Wanfang database during database establishement-Jul. 2019, randomized controlled trials (RCT) about the efficacy and safety of colesevelam hydrochloride combined with other hypoglycemic drugs (trial group) vs. placebo or other hypoglycemic drugs (control group) in the treatment of T2DM were collected. After extracting data from clinical studies that met the inclusion criteria, the quality of the studies was evaluated by Cochrane System Evaluator Manual 5.1.0. Meta-analysis was conducted by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software in respects of the levels HbA1c, FPG, LDL-C, the incidence of total ADR, incidence of hypoglycemia and incidence of gastrointestinal ADR. RESULTS: A total of 11 RCTs were included, involving 2 625 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that HbA1c levels [MD=-0.37, 95%CI(-0.51, -0.22),P<0.001], FPG level [MD=-0.47, 95%CI(-0.88, -0.07), P=0.02] and LDL-C level [MD=-0.38, 95%CI(-0.49, -0.28), P<0.001] in trial group were significantly lower than control group, with statistical significance. In terms of safety, the incidence of total ADR [OR=1.24, 95%CI(1.06, 1.45), P=0.007] and gastrointestinal ADR [OR=1.78,95%CI(1.05, 3.02),P=0.03] in trial group were significantly higher than control group, with statistical significance. There was no significant difference in the incidence of hypoglycemia [OR=1.03, 95%CI(0.62,1.72),P=0.90]. CONCLUSIONS: Colesevelam hydrochloride combined with other hypoglycemic drugs can effectively reduce the levels of HbA1c, FPG and LDL-C in T2DM patients, but attention should be paid to the occurrence of gastrointestinal ADR.

Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), a common digestive system disease, has an unclear pathogenesis. Currently, it is mostly believed to be related to Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, immune factors, dietary factors, bile reflux, long-term use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and other factors. Ferroptosis is a regulated cell death mechanism that is iron-dependent and characterized by disruption of iron metabolism and accumulation of lipid peroxides. More and more studies have found that ferroptosis is closely related to the onset of CAG. Professor LI Diangui, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, first proposed the turbid toxin theory, which holds that spleen deficiency and turbid toxin is the main pathogenic mechanism of CAG. Abnormal iron metabolism regulation is a prerequisite for the accumulation of turbid toxin in CAG, and ferroptosis is in accordance with the pathogenic mechanism (spleen deficiency and turbid toxin) of CAG. This article explores the pathological mechanism of spleen deficiency and turbid toxin in CAG from the perspectives of iron metabolism, oxidative stress, and lipid peroxidation, providing theoretical support of traditional Chinese medicine for the modern research on CAG. It enriches the modern scientific connotation of the turbid toxicity theory and provides new ideas and breakthrough points for the clinical treatment of CAG.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Xianglian Huazhuo prescription in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) based on network pharmacology and animal experiments,so as to provide scientific basis for clinical application. MethodThe possible targets and pathways of Xianglian Huazhuo prescription in the treatment of CAG were obtained based on the prediction of network pharmacology. The CAG rat model was induced by sodium salicylate,N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and hunger and satiety disorder. Then the CAG rats were treated with Xianglian Huazhuo prescription and morodan for 60 days. After administration,the rats were sacrificed,and the content of interleukin-6 (IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in serum was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). In addition, the protein expression of Bad and Bcl-2 in gastric mucosa was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). ResultA total of 241 active components of Xianglian Huazhuo prescription and 53 core targets were obtained. Xianglian Huazhuo prescription affected multiple biological processes,such as cell proliferation and apoptosis,inflammatory reaction,regulation of DNA metabolism,and cell response to redox,as well as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt),TNF,mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK),cancer and cancer-related signaling pathways. The animal model verification showed that Xianglian Huazhuo prescription lowered the levels of IL-6,TNF-α,IL-1β and VEGF in serum of CAG rats,and reduced the protein expression of Bad and Bcl-2 in gastric tissue. ConclusionXianglian Huazhuo prescription could regulate PI3K/Akt signal pathway and improve gastric mucosal injury in CAG by participating in biological processes such as cell proliferation,apoptosis and inflammation.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (IALL).Methods:A retrospective cohort study.Clinical data, treatment and prognosis of 28 cases of IALL who have been treated at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University and Baoding Children′s Hospital from October 2013 to May 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Based on the results of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), all patients were divided into KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-R) positive group and KMT2A-R negative group. The prognosis of two groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-Rank test were used to analyze the survival of the patients.Results:Among 28 cases of IALL, there were 10 males and 18 females, with the onset age of 10.9 (9.4,11.8) months. In terms of immune classification, 25 cases were B-ALL (89%), while the remaining 3 cases were T-ALL (11%). Most infant B-ALL showed pro-B lymphocyte phenotype (16/25,64%). A total of 22 cases (79%) obtained chromosome karyotype results, of which 7 were normal karyotypes, no complex karyotypes and 15 were abnormal karyotypes were found. Among abnormal karyotypes, there were 4 cases of t (9; 11), 2 cases of t (4; 11), 2 cases of t (11; 19), 1 case of t (1; 11) and 6 cases of other abnormal karyotypes. A total of 19 cases (68%) were positive for KMT2A-R detected by FISH. The KMT2A fusion gene was detected by real-time PCR in 16 cases (57%). A total of 24 patients completed standardized induction chemotherapy and were able to undergo efficacy evaluation, 23 cases (96%) achieved complete remission through induction chemotherapy, 4 cases (17%) died of relapse. The 5-year event free survival rate (EFS) was (46±13)%, and the 5-year overall survival rate (OS) was (73±10)%.The survival time was 31.3 (3.3, 62.5) months. There was no significant statistical difference in 5-year EFS ((46±14)% vs. (61±18)%) and 5-year OS ((64±13)% vs. (86±13)%) between the KMT2A-R positive group (15 cases) and the KMT2A-R negative group (9 cases) ( χ2=1.88, 1.47, P=0.170, 0.224). Conclusions:Most IALL patients were accompanied by KMT2A-R. They had poor tolerance to traditional chemotherapy, the relapse rate during treatment was high and the prognosis was poor.
