OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of natural type ginsenoside Rg2 (Rg2) and its stereoisomers [20 (R)-Rg2 and 20 (S)-Rg2] at different concentrations on oxygen-glucose deprivation/ reperfusion (OGD/R) induced cortical neuronal injury model in vitro, and to explore the mechanism, and compare their differences of action.

METHODSCortical neurons after 7-day culture were randomly divided into 5 groups, i.e., the control group, the model group, the Rg2 group, 20 (R) -Rg2 group, and 20 (S) - Rg2 group. Cortical neurons in the Rg2 group, 20 (R)-Rg2 group, and 20(S)-Rg2 group were pretreated with 20, 40, and 80 μmol/L Rg2, 20 (R) -Rg2, and 20 (S) -Rg2 for 24 h to prepare OGD/R model. The cell survival rate, the activity of Caspase-3, the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected 24 h later.

RESULTSCompared with the control group, cell survival rates and activities of SOD obviously decreased, the activity of Caspase-3, Ca2+ fluorescent optical gray value, and contents of MDA significantly increased with statistical difference (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, cell survival rates and activities of SOD obviously increased, the activity of Caspase-3, Ca2+ fluorescent optical gray value, and contents of MDA significantly decreased in 20 μmol/L Rg2 group, 40 μmol/L 20 (R) -Rg2 group, and 80 μmol/L 20 (S) -Rg2 group (P < 0.05). Compared with 20(S)-Rg2 group, cell survival rates increased and contents of MDA significantly decreased in 20, 40, and 80 μmol/L Rg2 and 20 (R)-Rg2 groups (P < 0.05). The activity of Caspase-3 decreased and contents of SOD increased in 80 μmol/L 20 (R)-Rg2 group, and 40, 80 μmol/L Rg2 groups (P < 0.05). Ca2+ fluorescent optical gray value decreased in 40, 80 μmol/L Rg2 and 20 (R)-Rg2 groups (P < 0.05). Compared with 20 (R)-Rg2 group, Ca2+ fluorescent optical gray value decreased in 80 μmol/L Rg2 group (P < 0.05); contents of SOD increased in 40 and 80 μmol/L Rg2 groups (P < 0.05); contents of MDA decreased in 20, 40, and 80 μmol/L Rg2 groups (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSRg2 and its stereoisomers could improve cell vitality of cortical neurons against OGD/R induced injury. This might be related to improving anti-apoptotic capacities and antioxidant abilities, and reducing Ca2+ inflow. Besides, the neuroprotective effect of 20 (R) -Rg2 was better than that of 20 (S) -Rg2, but inferior to that of Rg2.

Objective:To explore the effect of breastfeeding intervention scheme based on co-parenting theory on the breastfeeding of primiparas.Methods:The convenient sampling method was adopted to select 67 primiparal and their 67 spouses who underwent prenatal check-ups in the Obstetrics Clinic of Fengtai Maternal & Child Health Hospital in 2019 as the research objects. The 35 primiparas and their 35 spouses whose expected delivery date was from October to November 2019 were set as the control group and 32 primiparas and their 32 spouses whose expected delivery date was from December 2019 to January 2020 were set as the experimental group. The control group was given breastfeeding knowledge education and answers to questions through WeChat groups, while the experimental group received breastfeeding nursing intervention based on co-parenting theory on the basis of the control group. The rate of exclusive breastfeeding, the simplified Chinese version of Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (BSES-SF) score, the Brief Coparenting Relationship Scale (Brief CRS) score of primiparas, and the Chinese version of Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) score of the spouses of primiparas at 6 weeks postpartum were compared between the two groups.Results:The rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the experimental group at 6 weeks postpartum was 87.5% (28/32) , which was higher than 77.1% (27/35) in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (χ 2=0.432, P>0.05) . In the experimental group, the score of inner activity dimension of the simplified Chinese version of BSES-SF was (20.78±5.05) , the total score of the Brief CRS was (71.84±8.60) and the total score of the Chinese version of IIFAS among spouses of primiparas was (63.38±7.25) , which were higher than (16.94±4.78) , (67.00±10.94) , (59.89±5.92) of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.196, 2.002, 2.166; P<0.05) . Conclusions:The breastfeeding intervention scheme based on co-parenting theory can improve the attitude of spouses of primiparas to infant feeding and co-parenting perception of primiparas, and the effect of the intervention on improving the rate of exclusive breastfeeding and self-efficacy of breastfeeding needs to be further verified.

OBJECTIVETo investigate sperm DNA integrity in male infertility patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

METHODSThis study included 90 infertile men with HBV infection (group A), 82 infertile men without HBV infection (group B) and 70 normal fertile men (group C). We detected sperm DNA integrity among the subjects, including DNA fragmentation index (DFI) and high DNA stainability (HDS), by sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA), and compared them among the three groups.

RESULTSDFI was higher in group A ([28.17 +/- 13.06]%) than in B ([26.64 +/- 9.79]%) and C ([15.67 +/- 4.73]%), significantly higher in A and B than in C (P < 0.05) but with no significant difference between A and B (P > 0.05). HDS was higher in group A ([10.83 +/- 5.601]%) than in B ([9.04 +/- 3.48]%) and C ([8.04-2.25]%), with significant difference between A and C (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSperm DNA integrity of infertile males is significantly different from that of normal fertile men, and infertility with HBV infection further impairs sperm DNA, which is manifested by abnormal sperm nuclear maturity.

Objective To establish the premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) rat model with cyclophosphamide (CTX),and investigate the effects and mechanism of CTX on the ovarian structure and function.Methods Fifty female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into model group and control group.Rats in model group received intraperitoneal injection of loading dose CTX (50mg/kg),and maintenance dose of 8mg/(kg.d) for 14 days.Rats in the control group were given the same amount of saline during the same period.The modeling effects were judged by observation and comparison of estrous cycle,levels of sex hormone and morphological changes of organs between the two groups;the apoptosis of follicular granulose cell were detected by TUNEL,the contents of inflammatory cytokines in tissue homogenates were detected by ELISA,and the expressions of apoptosis related proteins were measured by Western blotting.Results Compared with control group,the estrous cycle in model group was disordered;the levels of serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and estrogen (E2) decreased significantly (P＜0.01) and those of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) increased markedly (P＜0.01);the quantity of follicles decreased obviously (P＜0.05);the endometrium atrophied,the uterine wall thinned and the glands decreased in number.Compared with the control group,the apoptosis of follicular granulose cells increased in model group;the contents of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 in the tissue homogenate increased significantly (P＜0.01),the contents of vascular endothelial growth factor-α (VEGF-α) decreased markedly (P＜0.01);the expression of apoptosis related protein Bax was up-regulated remarkably (P＜0.01),while of Bcl-2 was down-regulated obviously (P＜0.01).Conclusion CTX may induce the changes of ovary structure and endocrine function,and the mechanism may be related to the local microenvironment changes and the imbalance of Bax/Bcl-2 expression in regulating the apoptosis of granulose cells.

Objective To explore the influence of drug dosage, solvent and other main influencing factors on the successful establishment of alloxan-induced hyperglycemia mouse model and the effect on the stability of this model. Methods 160 6-8-week-old Kunming mice ofSPF grade, (male:female=1:1) were used in this study.The influences of different dosages of alloxan and solvent combinations on the successful establishment rate of the model, survival rate, body weight, fasting blood glucose, blood glucose area under curve, serum insulin level and their stabilities were dynamically observed for six weeks.Results By single intraperitoneal injection of 160 mg/kg bw alloxan ( pH 4.5 citrate sodium as solvent) , we were able to obtain a stable experimental hyperglycemic mouse model with higher levels of successful establishment rate (70%), survival rate (75%), fasting blood glucose (15-20 mmol/L), glucose area under the curve (55-65 mmol/L) and a lower but not loss of serum insulin levels (21 mIU/L).Conclusions In the present study we have carefully considered the influence of main factors such as drug dosages, solvent, etc., on the alloxan-induced experimental hyperglycemic mouse model, and successfully established this model after 6-week period observation of its stability.This model may provide a useful tool in the research of experimental diabetes and hypoglycemic functional studies.

Objective: To explore the differences in the gut microbiota of primary school students with different levels of sugar sweetened beverage intake, so as to provide scientific evidence for better identification of health risks in children and the development of targeted health policies. Methods: In June 2022, a total of 192 healthy primary school students from Chengdu were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The sugar sweetened beverage intake was assessed through a dietary frequency questionnaire. Based on the median daily sugar sweetened beverage intake, primary school students were categorized into a low intake group ( n =96) and a high intake group ( n =96). The gut microbiota in fresh fecal samples from the two groups of primary school students was analyzed using 16S rRNA high throughput sequencing, and the diversity and community structure differences in the gut microbiota were compared. Results: Children in the low intake group had a sugar sweetened beverage intake of (21.3±1.6) mL/d, while the high intake group had an intake of (269.6±37.3) mL/d. Diversity analysis results showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the low intake and the high intake group in terms of α diversity metrics: Observed_otus index [298.50 (259.75, 342.25), 305.50 (244.25, 367.75)], Goods_coverage index [1.00 (1.00, 1.00), 1.00 (1.00, 1.00)], Chao index [304.18 (260.75, 348.78), 305.88 (245.68, 370.88)], Shannon index [5.88 (5.29, 6.45), 5.71 (4.89, 6.28)] and Simpson index [0.95 (0.91, 0.97), 0.94 (0.88, 0.97)] ( Z =-0.64, -0.76, -0.54, -1.76, -1.67, P >0.05). Furthermore, no statistically significant difference was observed in β diversity between the two groups ( R 2=0.006, P >0.05). At the genus level, the abundance of Blautia [0.033 (0.018, 0.055)] and Fusicatenibacter [0.009 (0.005, 0.015)] were higher in the low intake group compared to the high intake group [0.024 (0.013, 0.041),0.006 (0.003, 0.011)]and differences were statistically significant ( Z =-2.52, -2.81, P <0.05). LEfSe analysis highlighted intergroup differences primarily in Blautia, Fusicatenibacter and Sarcina( LDA= 3.56,3.12,3.53, P <0.05). Conclusions There is no significant difference in the diversity and overall structure of the gut microbiota in primary school students with different levels of sugar sweetened beverage intake. However, there are species variations at the genus level. The information can serve as a scientific basis for identifying health risks in primary school students and formulating targeted health strategies.

To investigate the effect of catalpol on high-fat diet(HFD)-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and its underlying molecular mechanisms. Sixty C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into six groups:control group;HFD group;HFD+catalpol(100 mg/kg)group;HFD+catalpol(200 mg/kg)group;HFD+catalpol(400 mg/kg)group;and HFD+atorvastatin calcium(ATC)(30 mg/kg)group.The control group was fed a normal diet containing 4.4 kJ/g fat,whereas the other five groups were fed a high-fat diet containing 19.8 kJ/g fat.Mice in the catalpol or ATC treatment groups were administered by gavage for different doses of catalpol or ATC,whereas other mice were treated with saline.Body weight was measured once a week.Experiments were terminated after 18 weeks,and blood and liver samples were collected after an overnight fast(12 hours)for analysis.The body weight and liver weight were measured and the levels of serum total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),and aspartate transaminase(AST)as well as inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-1β,and IL-6 were determined by commercially available kits.Liver sections were stained with Oil Red O and HE to investigate the lipid accumulation and histopathological changes.The protein expressions of nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB)p65,inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B α(IκBα),B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2 associated x protein(Bax),and Caspase-3 were determined by Western blot. Compared to the model group,the body weight gains(all =0.001),liver index(=0.008,=0.001,=0.001),ALT(=0.004,=0.001,=0.001),and AST(=0.008,=0.001,=0.001)were significantly decreased in catalpol treatment groups,and the serum levels of TC(=0.005,=0.001),TG (all =0.001),and LDL-C(all =0.001)were also significantly decreased in middle and high dose groups,and the serum level of HDL-C was significantly increased in high group(=0.009).Moreover,compared to the model group,the degree of liver injury and lipid accumulation were obviously decreased in the catalpol treatment groups according to the pathology.Similarly,the release of inflammatory factors was significantly inhibited by the treatment with catalpol.The results of Western blot showed that the protein levels of NF-κB p65(=0.014,=0.001,=0.001)and Caspase-3(all =0.001)in the livers of HFD-fed mice were significantly reduced by catalpol treatment.In addition,the protein level of IκBα(=0.028,=0.001,=0.001)and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax in high dose group(=0.003)was increased by treatment with catalpol. Catalpol can effectively improve the body weight gains,liver index,dyslipidemia,and lipid accumulation in HFD-fed mice and inhibit the release of inflammatory factors and hepatocyte apoptosis,thereby preventing the development of NAFLD induced by HFD.
