AIMTo study whether Mel has protective role in liver c old preservation and its mechanism. METHODSTo study the role of Mel at the different concentration and time in liver cold preservation, we colle cted liver washing liquid and liver tissue from male SD rats. We analysed ALT, AST, LDH, HA, ET 1, MDA and SOD to see the function of liver cell and sinusoida l lining cell and mechanism of cell injury. At the same time, we studied the eff ects of Mel at different concentration and different time on liver cold preserva tion. RESULTS① The damage to liver function and change of its histology was aggravated with the prolongation of UW co ld preservation time, and injury of the sinusoidal lining cell was also aggravated gr adually. ② Indexes of the liver function and the sinusoidal lining cell functio n in the Mel solution cold preservation group were lower than that in the UW sol ution cold preservation group. These suggest protective role of Mel against live r injury caused by cold preservation. Its mechanism may be related to powerful a nti-oxidative effect of Mel. ③ The protective effect of Mel at 1?10 -5 m ol?L -1 ,1?10 -7 mol?L -1 was better than that of Mel at 1?10 -9 mol?L -1 . We found no obvious difference between the protection of Mel 1?10 -5 mol?L -1 and 1?10 -7 mol?L -1 indicati ng a concentration-effect relationship. CONCLUSIONProtective ef fect of UW solution used in clinic weakens gradually as cold preservation time increases. Mel solution has protective effect on liver cold preservation injury and is better than the simple UW solution. Its mechanism is related to anti-oxi dative effect of Mel.

Myopia has become a global public health concern with its increasing prevalence.It is the interaction result of genetic and environmental factors.Exploration of the changes of metabolites in myopia is helpful to know new clues about its pathogenic mechanism.Metabolomics focuses on the integral analysis of all small molecular metabolites (relative molecular mass <1 000) which form a biological system and it is used as an effective tool to discover potential biomarkers.Metabolomic analysis of the myopic population could discover the metabolic changes related to myopia and screen the markers with potential biological significance, which can be used in the early diagnosis and treatment of myopia.It has been found that metabolites related to oxidative stress and inflammation play an important role in the development of myopia.Abnormal energy metabolism and amino acid metabolism are associated with myopic fundus changes.In addition, classical myopia-associated metabolites such as retinoic acid, dopamine and vitamin D, other metabolites such as melatonin, cyclic adenosine monophosphate and 5-hydroxy indole acetic acid, as well as multiple metabolic pathways such as fatty acid metabolism and mitochondrial metabolism are all closely related to myopia.This article systematically reviewed metabolomics researches on myopia, providing clues for better prevention and control of myopia in the future.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of linaclotide with polyethylene glycol in bowel preparation.Methods:From September 2021 to February 2022, 240 patients who visited the Department of Gastroenterology, Third People′s Hospital of Hubei Province, Jianghan University and underwent colonoscopy were selected. According to the random number table, in the ratio of 1 to 1, the patients were divided into the linaclotide with polyethylene glycol group and the simple polyethylene glycol group, with 120 cases in each group. The patients in the linaclotide with polyethylene glycol group took 580 μg linaclotide and 2 L polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder solution, and the patients in the simple polyethylene glycol group took 3 L polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder solution. The Boston bowel preparation scale(BBPS) score, the detection rate of polyps or adenomas, the insertion time of colonoscopy, the withdrawal time of colonoscopy, the time of the first defecation, the frequency of defecations, the success rate of cecal intubation, the occurrence of adverse effects and the satisfaction rate of patients were compared between the 2 groups. Independent sample t test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 235 patients completed bowel preparation and accepted colonoscopy. There were no statistically significant differences in the BBPS score, the detection rate of polyps or adenomas, the insertion time of colonoscopy, the withdrawal time of colonoscopy, the success rate of cecal intubation and the frequency of defecations between the linaclotide with polyethylene glycol group and simple polyethylene glycol group(7.3±1.1 vs. 7.0±1.2; 58.1%, 68/117 vs. 60.2%, 71/118; 38.5%, 45/117 vs. 39.8%, 47/118; (4.2±1.9) min vs.(4.3±1.6) min; (5.9±2.7) min vs.(6.2±2.4) min; 100.0%, 117/117 vs. 100.0%, 118/118; 5.3±2.3 vs. 5.1±2.7; all P>0.05). The rate of adverse effects of the linaclotide with polyethylene glycol group was lower than that of simple polyethylene glycol group(25.6%, 30/117 vs. 39.8%, 47/118), the satisfaction rate of patients was higher than that of the simple polyethylene glycol group (93.2%, 109/117 vs. 76.3%, 90/118), and the differences were statistically significant( χ2=0.24 and 0.64, P=0.018 and 0.031). Conclusion:Compared with the 3 L polyethylene glycol regimen, 580 g linaclotide with 2 L polyethylene glycol regimen can achieve the same bowel preparation effect with higher safety and patient satisfaction, which is worthy of clinical application.
