Metallothionein is a sulfhydryl-rich,and chelating a large number of metal ions,which is widely found in biological world.It is very highlighted that MT had the same physical and chemical features from different origins.Plenty of research data indicated that MTs contain 20 free sulfhydryl genes,as well as their sulfhydryl clusters,It is a multifunctional protein in health.Many experiments demonstrate that MTs may be a novel target of original new drugs because they play a role in regulating and controlling the organ fibrosis and tumor.

Objective To investigate protective effects of polysaccharides from Platycarya strobilacea Sieb.et Zucc on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.MethodsForty Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham group,model group,Rehmannia glutinosa polysaecharide low,and high dose groups.Each group was given oral administration for 7 days.After 1 h of last administration, the CIRI (cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury) group was produced inserting 5-0 line into the internal carotid artery.Neurological functional score was evaluated according to the method of Zea longa's score, meanwhile,infarct size was detected by TTC staining.Levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity,malondialdehyde (MDA), IL-10, IL-1β and TNF-α contents in cerebral tissues were measured.TUNEL staining was used to assess the number of TUNEL-positive cells of the ischemic cortex.Western blot was used to analyze the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 in cerebral tissues.ResultsCompared to model group, Platycarya strobilacea a polysaccharides could significantly improve neurogical functions,greatly decrease the contents of MDA, IL-10 and IL-1β in cerebral tissues,improve SOD activity and IL-10 content in cerebral tissues,and effectively reduce cerebral infarct range.Meanwhile Platycarya strobilacea polysaccharides could enhance the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 in cerebral tissues.ConclusionPlatycarya strobilacea polysaccharides have beneficial effects on rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, which may be mediated at least in part by the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Objective:
To analyze the characteristics of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution in Urumqi City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from 2016 to 2023 and establish a prediction model, so as to provide the reference for air pollution prevention and control.
Methods:
PM2.5 monitoring data of Urumqi City from 2016 to 2023 were collected through the website of Ministry of Ecology and Environment of China. The changing trend of PM2.5 concentration was analyzed using temporal chart and seasonal index. PM2.5 monthly average concentrations from 2016 to 2023 were used to establish an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, and the data in 2023 was fitted and compared with the actual values, using mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) to evaluate the effectiveness of the model, and PM2.5 monthly average concentration from 2024 to 2025 was predicted.
Results:
PM2.5 daily average concentration in Urumqi City showed a decreasing trend from 2016 to 2023 (rs=-0.239, P<0.001), with high seasonal indexes in January, February and December, indicating certain seasonal characteristics. The optional model was ARIMA (1, 0, 0) (1, 1, 0)12, with the value of Akaike information criterion, corrected Akaike information criterion, and Bayesian information criterion being 727.38, 727.88 and 737.10, respectively. PM2.5 monthly average concentration in 2023 was fitted and compared with the actual values, with an absolute error range of 0.31-7.45 μg/m3, a relative error range of 0.01-0.53, and MAPE of 14.42%. PM2.5 monthly average concentration in Urumqi City from 2024 to 2025 was predicted to be consistent with the trend from 2016 to 2023.
Conclusions
PM2.5 concentration in Urumqi City showed a tendency towards a decline from 2016 to 2023, and was relatively high in winter. ARIMA (1, 0, 0) (1, 1, 0)12 can be used for short-term prediction of PM2.5 pollution in Urumqi City.

Objectives To explore the effect of mibefradil, a kind of novel calcium channel antagonists, on proliferation of human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (HPASMCs) induced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). MethodsHPASMCs were culturedin vitro, and randomly divided into control group, PDGF group, Mib group, and PDGF+Mib group. The PDGF group was stimulated by 25 ng/ml of PDGF. Mib group was intervented by 10 μmol/L of Mib. PDGF+Mib group was treated by PDGF and Mib. The reproduction rate in 48 hours and 72 hours were detected by MMT. Cell cycle was detected by lfow cytometry. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was observed by immunolfuorescence staining (IFS).ResultsThere were statistical differences among four groups in both 48 hours and 72 hours (P all?0.05), especially in 72 hours. PDGF group had the highest level of HPASMC reproduction rate, and there were statistical differences as compared with the other three groups (P all?0.05). However, the HPASMC reproduction rates were similar among PDGF+Mib group, Mib group, and control group (P all?>?0.05). There were statistically differences of G0/G1 phase and S phase among four groups (P?0.05). PDGF group had lowest G0/G1 phase cells and highest S phase cells, and there were statistically differences as compared with the other three groups (P all?0.05). No differences were found among PDGF+Mib group, Mib group, and control group (P all?0.05). There was obviously difference in the expression of PCNA among four groups (P?0.05). PDGF group had the highest expression of PCNA and there were statistically differences as compared with other three groups, (P?0.05). While the expression of PCNA was similar among PDGR+Mib group, Mib group, and control group.Conclusion Mibefradil was able to restrain remarkably the proliferation of HPASMC by inhibit the cell cycle that stimulated by PDGF, and by the expression of PCNA.

Objectives To explore the clinical features and pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease (KD) combined with sterile pyuria. Methods A total of 420 patients diagnosed of KD were recruited and divided into pyuria group ( 95 patients) and control group ( 325 patients) according to urine routine examination on admission. The clinical data between the two groups were compared. Results There was no difference in gender, age, and the incidence of atypical KD (P all?>?0 . 05 ). The levels of C-reactive protein, D-dimer concentrations, fibrinogen degradation products, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and urine retinol binding protein were higher in pyuria group than those in control group (all P>?0 . 05 ). No difference was found in the duration of fever before admission between two groups (P>?0 . 05 ). However, pyuria group had longer duration of fever after treatment with immunoglobulin (P0 . 05 ). There was no difference in coronary artery lesions and non-response in the ifrst dose of immunoglobulin treatment between two groups (all P>?0.05). Conclusion The morbidity of sterile pyuria in KD patients was 22 . 6%. KD patients with sterile pyuria have more intense inlfammatory response, markedly high coagulation condition, and mild or subclinical renal damage.
