OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the effect of borneol on cutaneous toxicity of gilteritinib and to explore possible compounds that can intervene with the cutaneous toxicity.
METHODS:
C57BL/6J male mice were given gilteritinib by continuous gavage for 28 d and the damage to keratinocytes in the skin tissues was observed with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, TUNEL assay and immunohistochemistry. Human keratinocytes HaCaT were treated with gilteritinib, and cell death and morphological changes were examined by SRB staining and microscopy; apoptosis of HaCaT cells was examined by Western blotting, flow cytometry with propidium iodide/AnnexinⅤ double staining and immunofluorescence; the accumulation of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was examined by flow cytometry with DCFH-DA. Compounds that can effectively intervene the cutaneous toxicity of gilteritinib were screened from a natural compound library using SRB method, and the intervention effect of borneol on gilteritinib cutaneous toxicity was further investigated in HaCaT cells and C57BL/6J male mice.
RESULTS:
In vivo studies showed pathological changes in the skin with apoptosis of keratinocytes in the stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum in the modeling group. Invitro studies showed apoptosis of HaCaT cells, significant up-regulation of cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (c-PARP) and gamma-H2A histone family member X (γ-H2AX) levels, and increased accumulation of ROS in gilteritinib-modeled skin keratinocytes compared with controls. Screening of the natural compound library revealed that borneol showed excellent intervention effects on the death of HaCaT cells. In vitro, cell apoptosis was significantly reduced in the borneol+gilteritinib group compared to the gilteritinib control group. The levels of c-PARP, γ-H2AX and ROS in cells were significantly decreased. In vivo, borneol alleviated gilteritinib-induced skin pathological changes and skin cell apoptosis in mice.
CONCLUSIONS
Gilteritinib induces keratinocytes apoptosis by causing intracellular ROS accumulation, resulting in cutaneous toxicity. Borneol can ameliorate the cutaneous toxicity of gilteritinib by reducing the accumulation of ROS and apoptosis of keratinocytes in the skin tissue.

By analyzing the shift of microbial communities under different iron/sulfur ratios, the response of metallurgical microorganisms to energy substrates was investigated based on molecular ecological networks. High-throughput sequencing of microbial samples from different domesticated batches was conducted to analyze the changes in community composition, alpha and beta diversity. Based on the molecular ecological network, the interactions between microorganisms under different iron/sulfur ratios were explored. Keystones were identified to analyze the community response to energy substrates. In the process of domestication based on different energy substrates, the dominant species in the in iron-rich and sulfur-less community were Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and A. ferriphilus. A. thiooxidans accounted for up to 90% in the sulfur-rich and iron-less community after 3 domesticating batches. The results of alpha and beta diversity analysis show that the domestication process of sulfur-rich and iron-less substrates reduced the diversity of microbial communities. Molecular ecological network analysis shows that the keystones were all rare species with low abundance. During the domestication by sulfur-rich and iron-less energy substrates, the bacterial species had a closer symbiotic relationship and the community was more stable. Through this domestication experiment, the impact of different energy substrates on microbial aggregation was clarified. Domesticating metallurgical microorganisms by using sulfur-rich and iron-less energy substrates made the microbial colonies to be more stable, which was conducive to the oxidation of iron and sulfur, promoting the dissolution of sulfide minerals. Our findings provide a reference for the directional domestication of metallurgical microorganisms.

To study the role and molecular mechanism of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in reversing drug-resistance to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in gastric cancer drug-resistant cell line SGC-7901/5-FU.
METHODSDrug-resistance gastric cancer cell line (SGC-7901/5-FU) was established by high doses of repeated impact joint drug concentration increment methods. The cell viability of the parent cell line and the drug-resistance cell line were determined by standard MTT assay. Cell survival rate of drug-resistance was calculated by the formula [(Aof the treatment group / Aof the control group) × 100%]. Cell half inhibitory concentration (IC) and resistance index (RI) were calculated by the Graphpad prime 6.0 software(RI=ICvalue of drug-resistance cells / ICvalue of parent cells). The apoptosis rate of SGC-7901/5-FU cells was quantified by flow cytometry after staining with annexin-V and PI. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of drug-resistance-related proteins (ABCG2, P-gp, MDR-1 and GST-π) and apoptosis-related proteins (PARP, Survivin, Bax and bcl-2).
RESULTSICvalue was significantly increased in drug-resistant cells compared with parental cells [(64.7±3.9) mg/L and (4.1±0.3) mg/L, respectively, t=26.46, P=0.000], and the RI was 15.6. Proliferation activity in the drug-resistant cells was higher than that in parental cells at different 5-FU concentrations (all P<0.05). In drug-resistant cells, the ICvalue of 5-FU combined with EGCG group obviously decreased compared with 5-FU group [(7.3±0.1) mg/L and (63.1±1.4) mg/L respectively, t=40.84, P=0.000], and the RI was 0.12. Proliferation activity in drug-resistant cells was significantly decreased after EGCG treatment at different 5-FU concentrations (all P<0.05). Cell apoptosis rates in control group, 5-FU group, EGCG group and 5-FU combined with EGCG group were (3.0±1.0)%, (7.0±1.3)%, (6.0±1.2)% and (18.0±1.4)%, while apoptosis rate in 5-FU combined with EGCG group was significantly higher than those of other 3 groups(F=129.5, P=0.000). Western blot revealed that after EGCG treatment, the expression levels of drug-resistance-related proteins (ABCG2, P-gp, MDR-1 and GST-π) in the drug-resistant cell line SGC-7901/5-FU decreased significantly; the expression levels of apoptosis marker protein PARP and pro-apoptotic protein Bax increased significantly; and the expression levels of anti-apoptotic protein Survivin and Bcl-2 decreased significantly (all P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONEGCG can reduce the resistance of gastric cancer resistant cell line SGC-7901/5-FU, whose role may be via the inhibition of the expression of drug-resistance-related proteins, and the elevation of the protein expression ratio of PARP/Survivin and Bax/Bcl-2.

Objective:
To calculate the three-dimensional trajectory and motion morphology of condyle by combining the trajectory of the mandible movement and the three-dimensional model of the mandible.
Methods:
Cone beam CT (CBCT) scanning was performed on the volunteer. The mandible three-dimensional model was built with image data transferred to the graphical user interface of the computer workstation. The novel virtual articulator PN300 recorded the three-dimensional trajectory of mandible. All these data were transferred to software system of computer workstation calculating the three-dimensional trajectory of condyle. The motion morphology of condyle was simulated by merging function surface at each point.
Results:
When the mandible moved in an opening process, the recorded data was calculated and it was shown that: the condylar functional surface moved moved forward and downward inward in advance, and in the process of continuously increasing the opening degree, the function faced the front upper inner side. The straight-line distance between the position and the final position was 8.34 mm. During the forward movement of the mandible, the coracoid process slided forward downward and inward with a sliding distance of 8.64 mm. During lateral movement, the range of the working side condyle function surface motion was small, only slight rotation, the maximum range of motion was 1.97 mm; in the process of row side movement, the non-working condyle function surface had a larger movement range than the working side, the movement direction was the front lower inner side, and the movement distance was 7.65 mm.
Conclusions
The novel virtual articulator PN300 and digital technology can achieve the accurate measurement of three-dimensional trajectory of the condyle, and furthermore simulate the motion morphology of the condyle.
