Objective To study the role of peripheral blood T regulatory cells (Treg) markers, as well as different Treg cells in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and explore the correla-tion betweenCD127 and Foxp3. The immunosuppressive effect of CD4~+CD25~+CD127~(low/-) T cell is explored. Methods ①Four-color direct fluorescence-labeled and multi-parameter flow cytometry were used to detect peripheral blood CD4~+CD25~+ T cells and other Treg cells accounted for the proportion of CD4~+ T cells in 40 SLE patients (19 cases with active disease 21 cases in remission) and 15 healthy controls. Meanwhile, its correlations with anti-dsDNA antibodies among 7 groups were analyzed.②Flow cytometry sorting combined with cell culture were applied to detect and analyze the proliferation inhibition effect of CD4~+CD25~+CD127~(low/-)regulatory T cells to CD4~+CD25~-effector T cell.Two independent samples t test,ANOVA for repeated measures,Pearson's correlation and Spearman's correlation were used for statistical analysis.Results ①The cell ratio of the 7 groups of SLE patients was(6.1±1.7)%,(3.1±1.3)%,(2.1±1.0)%,(1.6±0.3)%(0.97±O.28)%,(0.69±0.23)%and(O.71±0.35)%respectively.In the SLE group,the proportion of the first 6 groups was lower than the control group (P<0.05).For CD4~+CD127~(low/-)Foxp3~+,there wag no difference in the two groups(P>O.05).②CD4~+CD25~+Foxp3~+,CD4~+CD25~(high)Foxp3~+ T cells and IgA ratio Was positivelv correlated.While CD4~+CD25~(high)CD127~(low/-) T cells and anti-SSB antibodies was positively correlated in SLE patients.③The seven group of cells,in addition to CD4~+CDl27~(low/-)Foxp3~+ T cell ratio were lower in early-onset SLE patients than those in patients at remission(P<0.05).④The cell propor-tion of the first 6 groups was lower than that of post steroid treatment(P<0.05).⑤Foxp3 expression of CD4~+CD25~+T ceils and CD4~+CD25~(high) T cells was positively correlated with low expression of CDl27 in the early onset group,remission group and the control group.⑥The CD4~+CD25~- effect T cells could be suppressed by their own CD4~+CD25~+CDl27~(low/-) regulatonry T cells in vitro,and the inhibition of SLE patients was significantly lower than controls.Conclusion The immunological abnormality of SLE may be associated with the qnatity and functional defects of immune regulatory T cells.CDl27 may be a possible alternative to Foxp3 regulatory T cell-specific surface markers.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of robotic navigation and percutaneous internal fixation in the treatment of fresh undisplaced scaphoid lumbar fractures.Methods:From November 2019 to October 2020, 8 patients were treated at Department of Hand Surgery, Xuzhou Renci Hospital for fresh undisplaced scaphoid lumbar fractures. There were 7 males and one female with an average age of 27.5 years (from 18 to 42 years), and 5 left and 3 right cases. Navigation by a Tianji orthopedic robot was conducted to decide the positions for implantation of percutaneous Herbert screws to fixate the fractures. The bone healing was followed up by regular X-ray and CT examinations. The functional recovery was evaluated by Mayo wrist score, grip strength, pinch strength and wrist range of motion, and the wrist pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS).Results:All the 8 patients were followed up for a mean time of 12.8 months (from 6 to 19 months). All the wounds healed by the first intention without any inflammation or infection. CT examination at 3 months postoperation found that all the fracture ends got united. At the final follow-up, the average active motions of the injured wrist were: 67.9° in flexion, 64.1° in extension, 21.2° in radial deviation and 52.2° in unlar deviation, respectively. The average grip strength was recovered to 31.3 kg, reaching up to 85.2% (from 66.7% to 100.0%) of the contralateral wrist; the average pinch force was recovered to 19.5 kg, reaching up to 89.3% (from 77.8% to 100.0%) of the contralateral wrist. At the last follow-up, the Mayo wrist function scores averaged 97.5 (from 95 to 100) and all the 8 cases were excellent. The VAS pain score of the wrist averaged 0.88 (from 0 to 2).Conclusion:In the treatment of fresh undisplaced scaphoid lumbar fractures, navigation with a Tianji orthopedic robot can be used to visualize percutaneous minimally invasive screw fixation so that accurate positioning and precise screw placement are ensured, leading to rapid rehabilitation.

ObjectiveTo predict the potential nephrotoxic components in traditional Chinese medicine health food products based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Toxicity Alert System and Basic Toxicology Database （TCMTAS-BTD）， screen and validate the predicted components by cell and animal experiments， and decipher the mechanism of nephrotoxicity by network pharmacology. MethodTCMTAS-BTD was utilized to predict the toxicity of 3 540 compounds found in the catalogue of traditional Chinese health food ingredients. In the cell experiment， the top 5 compounds with high toxicity probability were screened by measurement of cell proliferation and viability （CCK-8） and high-content screening. ICR mice were randomized into a control group， a low-dose （2.91 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） ecliptasaponin A， and a high-dose （29.1 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） ecliptasaponin A group， with 10 mice in each group， and treated continuously for 28 days. During the experiment， the general conditions of the rats were observed， and the kidney index was calculated. The levels of serum creatinine （SCr） and blood urea nitrogen （BUN） in the serum as well as the content of malondialdehyde （MDA） and superoxide dismutase （SOD） in the renal tissue were measured. The pathological changes of the kidney were observed. Network pharmacology was employed to predict the potential pathways of nephrotoxicity. Finally， the pathway-associated proteins were validated by Western blot. ResultThe top 5 compounds with high probability of nephrotoxicity were ecliptasaponin A， chrysophanol， rutaecarpine， tanshinoneⅠ， and geniposidic acid. In the cell experiment， CCK-8 results showed that 10 μmol·L^-1 ecliptasaponin A， 60 μmol·L^-1 chrysophanol， 40 μmol·L^-1 rutaecarpine， and 20 μmol·L^-1 tanshinone I altered the viability of HK-2 cells. High-content analysis showed that 10 μmol·L^-1 ecliptasaponin A， chrysophanol， rutaecarpine， and tanshinone Ⅰ reduced the cell number （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The animal experiment showed that the mice in the high-dose ecliptasaponin A group presented slow movement， slow weight gain （P<0.01）， increased kidney index （P<0.01）， elevated SCr， BUN， and MDA levels （P<0.01）， and lowered SOD level （P<0.01）. Mild histopathological changes were observed in the high-dose ecliptasaponin A group. The network pharmacology results showed that the key targets of nephrotoxicity induced by ecliptasaponin A were mainly enriched in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway， prostatic cancer and lipid and atherosclerosis pathways. Western blot results verified that high dose of ecliptasaponin A raised the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt （P<0.01）. ConclusionOn day 28 of administration， 29.1 mg·kg^-1 ecliptasaponin A was found to induce renal injury in rats. The mechanism may be related with the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， which implied that excessive and prolonged usage of Ecliptae Herba may increase the incidence of adverse drug reactions.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of Tanreqing injection （TRQ） on the pulmonary flora in the rat model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD）. MethodWistar rats were randomized into control， model， and TRQ groups. The rats in other groups except the control group were treated by smoking combined with intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide for the modeling of COPD. The TRQ group was intraperitoneally injected with TRQ （2 g·kg^-1）. At the end of the experiment， after blood collection from the abdominal aorta of the rats， the lung tissue was collected for hematoxylin-eosin and picric sirius red staining to reveal the pathological changes. The lung lavage fluid was collected， and the diversity and relative abundance of lung flora in different groups were analyzed by 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing. ResultThe lungs of the control group were normal， and those of the model group showed neutrophil infiltration， telangiectasia， lung hemorrhage and emphysema in individual cases， and thickening of collagen fibers in the trachea. Compared with the model group， the TRQ group showed significantly improved lungs and recovered collagen fibers. The MLI analysis showed that compared with the control group， the model group showcased increased alveolar space （P<0.01）， which was reduced in the TRQ group （P<0.05）. Compared with the control group， the model group showed increased wall thickness （P<0.01）， and the increase was attenuated in the TRQ group （P<0.01）. TRQ increased the Simpson index and altered the α diversity of pulmonary flora. The results of principal co-ordinate analysis showed that TRQ changed the β diversity and reduced the β diversity index of pulmonary flora. At the genus level， the model group showed increased relative abundance of g_Bacillus and g_Brevundimonas and decreased relative abundance of g_Pseudomonas， compared with the control group. After treatment with TRQ， the relative abundance of g_Stenotrophomonas increased， and that of g_Bacillus decreased. The LEfSe of differential taxa between groups showed that the modeling increased the relative abundance of g_Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group， and TRQ treatment increased the relative abundance of g_Rhodococcus and g_Stenotrophomonas. ConclusionTRQ can regulate the diversity of pulmonary flora and restore the balance of bacterial genera in the rat model of COPD， which may be one of the mechanisms of the prevention and treatment of COPD with TRQ.

ObjectiveTo construct a cough model induced by chemical stimuli by whole-body plethysmography （WBP） for counting coughs based on cough waveforms， and use this model to explore the antitussive effect of GK-A. MethodDifferent chemical stimuli were used to induce coughs in mice or guinea pigs. Respiratory waveforms were monitored by WBP， and the recognizable and typical cough waveforms were selected for cough counting. Guinea pigs were induced to cough with different concentrations of citric acid or capsaicin， and cough waveforms were used to optimize the stimulation conditions. The optimized guinea pig model of cough was validated with dextromethorphan， and the optimized guinea pig model of capsaicin-induced cough was used to evaluate the antitussive effect of GK-A. ResultWBP could count the coughs induced by capsaicin and citric acid in guinea pigs by recognizable and typical respiratory waveforms. The optimized stimulation conditions were capsaicin concentration of 100 µmol·L^-1 and nebulization for 2 min. The validation results showed that compared with the model group， the dextromethorphan group of guinea pigs had reduced coughs （P<0.05） and prolonged cough latency （P<0.01）. GK-A prolonged the cough latency （P<0.05） and reduced coughs （P<0.05） in the mouse model of ammonia-induced cough. In the guinea pig model of capsaicin-induced cough， GK-A prolonged cough latency （P<0.05）， reduced coughs （P<0.05）， and decreased substance P （SP） content in the guinea pig serum （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionA guinea pig model of capsaicin-induced cough was successfully established based on cough waveform counting， which provided an objective and accurate cough counting method. GK-A has antitussive effects， possibly by inhibiting the neuropeptide SP.
