Objective To study the influence of semen platycladi saponins on oxidative stress response of hippocampus of rat model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and to explore the neuroprotective mechanism of semen platycladi saponins (SPS) on AD model rats. Methods Sixty SPF 24-week old female Wistar rats were divided into three groups:the normal control group, AD model group, and SPS intervention group. The rats of AD model group and SPS group were injected with Aβ1-42in bilateral hippocampi to produce AD animal models. After the successful establishment of AD model, the AD model group and the normal control group received 5 mL saline sodium with carboxymethyl cellulose (500 mg/kg) orally, daily for 30 days. The SPS group received orally 5 mL normal saline with 300 mg/kg SPS daily for 30 days. The learning and memory function of the rats were assessed by Morris water maze test, and the levels of MAD, SOD and GSH in the hippocampal tissues of model rats were detected with biochemistry. The expressions of Bcl-2, survivin, Fas, Bax, caspase-3 proteins and mRNA in the hippocampi of AD model rats were detected by western blotting. Results Compared with the control group and SPS group, the rats in AD model group displayed a longer search time and shorter percentage of search distance (P＜ 0. 01). There was a longer search time and lower percentage of search distance of the SPS groups than the control group (P＜ 0. 01). The positioning experiment showed that rats in the control group learned to find the platform within 2. 1 days, indicating that the latency was rapidly decreased. MDA in the SPS intervention group was significantly decreased than in the AD model group (P＜ 0. 01), but increased than the normal control group (P＜0. 01). The expressions of SOD and GSH were significantly increased in the SPS group than the model group (P＜ 0. 01). The expressions of Bcl-2 and survivin were significantly increased in the SPS group than the model group (P＜ 0. 01), but lower than the normal control group (P＜ 0. 05). The expressions of Fas, Bax and caspase-3 were decreased in the SPS intervention group (P ＜ 0. 01 ), but increased than the normal control group (P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions Semen platycladi saponins can protect the neurons and improve the cognition function of AD model rats by inhibiting oxidative stress response and enhancing the antioxidant mechanism in the hypocampus.

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in China has recently been increasing year by year,and spontaneous skin ulcers in diabetic patients,as one of the most serious complications,often develop on the patient's extremities represented by foot ulcers.Due to the complexity and variety of its pathogenesis,it leads to poor clinical outcomes and difficulty in healing.Thus,pa-tients often face the risk of amputation and death.Therefore,the exploration of mechanisms of the vascular pathogenesis of diabetic delayed-healing wounds and targeted screening of therapeutic agents has become a current research hotspot.Herein,in this paper,we briefly review the role of impaired angiogenesis and vascular dysfunction in diabetic skin ulcers,and the research progress of classical hypoglycemic and natural compounds against vascular lesions is preliminarily summarized to provide a theoretical basis for effective clinical treatment.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
