Objective Explore changes in polysaccharides in Jiangxiangru before and after ginger juice preparation,and evaluate polysaccharide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities before and after processing.Methods The contents of Jiangxiangru polysaccharide(JXRPs)and Ginger juice processed of Jiangxiangru polysaccharide(JZJXRPs)before and after processing were determined by phenol-sulfuric acid method.We used the swelling model in rats and endotoxin(LPS)to establish the RAW264.7 mouse macrophage inflammation model.The optimal administration concentration was determined using a cell proliferation(MTT)assay.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)were used to measure Interleukin-6(IL-6),Interleukin-12(IL-12),Nitric oxide(NO),Interleukin-4(IL-4),and Interleukin-10(IL-10).Bleeding time of mice by tail cutting was observed to evaluate the hemostatic effect.The ability to remove 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical(DPPH)and 2,2'-Azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate)(ABTS)was used to evaluate in vitro antioxidant activity.Results The contents of JXRPs and JZJXRPs were 13%and 22%,respectively.In swollen rats at 4 h after injection,compared with the model group,200 mg/kg JXRPs and 100 mg/kg JZJXRPs significantly reduced rat swelling(P<0.05).In vitro anti-inflammation assessment showed that the polysaccharides before and after processing significantly inhibited secretion of IL-6,IL-12,and NO(P<0.01)and promoted secretion of IL-4 and IL-10(P<0.01),and also that processing post-effects were stronger.The hemostatic experiment show that,compared with the control group,JXRPs increased hemostasis,but without a significant difference,and no significant difference was found using JZJXRPs,although high doses showed a trend to increase hemostasis.In vitro antioxidant activity showed that JXRPs and JZJXRPs had different scavenging abilities for DPPH and ABTS with IC50 values of JXRPs of 0.2215 and 0.2110 mg/ml,respectively,and IC50 values of JZJXRPs of 0.1651 and 0.1884 mg/mL,respectively.Conclusions After Jiangxiangru is produced in ginger juice,it promotes dissolution of polysaccharides and increases polysaccharide content.Anti-inflammatory,hemostasis,and antioxidant capacities are stronger in JZJXRPS than JXRPS,which lays the foundation for follow-up research and clinical applications of JXRPS.

Objective:To explore the effects of a collaborative care model based on family-community- professional team on the oral health-related quality of life in older adults, and in order to provide reference basis for oral health management of the elderly.Methods:Using one-group pretest-posttest design study, 110 cases of older adults who participated in health checkups at the Yuyang Community Health Center in Yichang City from May 1 to June 30, 2023 were selected by convenience sampling method as study subjects. A oral health intervention program was constructed through literature review, Delphi expert consultation, and pilot trials and implemented for 6 months to compare the differences in oral health self-efficacy level, oral health-related quality of life before and after the intervention of the study subjects.Results:Finally, 108 study subjects completed the intervention including 49 males, 59 females, and 58 were 60-69 years old, 45 were 70-79 years old, and 5 were aged 80 and over; the total oral health self-efficacy score of older adults after the intervention was (59.19 ± 3.43) points, which was higher than (55.05 ± 5.10) points before the intervention, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = - 7.69, P<0.05); the total score of oral health-related quality of life after the intervention was (46.11 ± 5.14) points, which was higher than that before the intervention (41.39 ± 4.06), and the difference was statistically significant ( t = -7.02, P<0.05). Conclusions:The collaborative care model based on family-community- professional team can improve the level of oral health self-efficacy and oral health-related quality of life of the elderly, and provide a reference point for oral health management in the elderly.

Objective To investigate the effects of MCSO on physiological behavior and antioxidant index in D.melanogaster.Methods One-day-old wild type D.melanogaster was divided into control group,0.25%,0.5%,1%,2%and 4%dose groups,as well as male and female groups.The control group was exposed to the base medium,and each dose group was exposed to the MCSO medium added with 0.25%,0.5%,1%,2%and 4%concentrations,respectively.The optimal dosage concentration and time of administration were investigated by climbing experiment.Then the flies were divided into control group,model group and MCSO group.The model group was established by depriving the flies of sleep through repeated nocturnal light stimulation.Period of drug treatment,appetite test,negative geotaxis ability test,stress test,olfactory memory test,and sleep-wake rhythm detection were used to explore the effects of MCSO on their physiological behavior.The activities of super oxidase dismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT),and malondialdehyde(MDA)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results MCSO enhanced the locomotory ability of 30-day-old D.melanogaster(P<0.01),increased the activity of SOD and CAT(P<0.01),and decreased the concentration of MDA(P<0.01).Improve olfactory memory of senile fruit flies.After sleep deprivation,the night sleep time of female Drosophila model group was reduced(P<0.05),and that of male Drosophila model group was reduced(P<0.01).After feeding MCSO,the night sleep time of female drosophila model group was extended(P<0.05),and that of male drosophila model group was extended(P<0.01).Conclusions MCSO had a certain antioxidant effect,prolonging the sleep time and improving the olfactory memory of sleep-deprived Drosophila.
