Objective:To explore the immunosuppression effects and tocolysis of fructus polygoni orientalis on abortion mice induced by LPS.Methods:Mice of Kunming (55 mice) were divided into control group (group A ,10 mice) and experimental group. Experimental group were divided into group B ( intraperitoneal injection LPS ) , group C ( ingestion fructus polygoni orientalis ) , and group D (ingestion fructus polygoni orientalis and intraperitoneal injection LPS ),each group of 15 mice.Then the pregnancy results were observed ,the positive of α-NAE+and the varity of CD 14+and CD204+macrophages ,TNF-αin the uteri were identified by enzyme-histochemistry ,immunohistochemistry and ELISA.Results:The abortion rate and the embryo resorbing rate were all 100%( P<0.01 ) in group B.But there was the decreased abortion rate of 13.33% in group D .The embryo resorbing rate decreased to 10.39%.The number and positive cell area of α-NAE+and CD14+macrophages in the uteri of gestation mice of group B was greatly increased comparing with group A ( P<0.01 ) .These effects outside of myometrium of group D were remarkably increased comparing with group A (P<0.01),but there was no distinct difference in the inside of myometrium and function layer.The number and positive cell area of CD204+macrophages in group C and D was greatly increased comparing with group A and B ( P<0.01 ) .The TNF-αcontents in the uteri of mice in group B were greatly increased comparing with group A (P<0.01),but the positive cell area of CD14,CD204 were close to normal levels in group D.Conclusion:The effect of miscarriage induced by LPS is antagonized by fructus polygoni orientalis through inhibiting the phenotype ,activity and function characteristics of macrophages in the uteri of gravidity mice.

Objective To investigate the effects of astragalus injection on the morphology and expression of Apaf-1 in hippocampal neurons after cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rats. Methods The male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, sham-operated group, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion group (reperfusion group) and astragalus injection interven-tion group (experiment group). The global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rat model was established by Pulsinelli four-vessel occlusion method. The astragalus injection group was intraperitoneally injected with astragalus 6 mL/kg, 30 mins before sur-gery and repeated every 24 h. Rat brains were removed 24 h after reperfusion in each group. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the hippocampal neurons under the light microscope. The ultrastructural changes of hippocam-pal neurons were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot methods were used to measure the expression of apoptotic protease activating factor-1(Apaf-1) protein. Results Compared with sham-operat-ed group, nuclear and mitochondrial damage was found in reperfusion group, and the expression of Apaf-1 protein increased obviously in hippocampus(Immunohistochemistry result:0.024 ± 0.001 vs 0.109 ± 0.011;Western blot result:0.270 ± 0.018 vs 0.894±0.072, P<0.01). Compared with reperfusion group, the damage in nuclear and mitochondria was relieved obviously in experiment group, and the expression of Apaf-1 protein in hippocampus was significantly decreased (Immunohistochemistry result:0.048±0.005;Western blot result:0.392±0.046, P<0.01). Conclusion Astragalus injection can reduce pathological damage of hippocampal neurons after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in rats, and the mechanism is related with inhibiting of Apaf-1 protein.

OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics of prulifloxacin capsules in Chinese healthy volunteers after single and multiple oral administration of prulifloxacin capsules.METHODS:A total of 12 healthy adult subjects were randomly grouped by 3? 3 Latin square,who were assigned to receive oral single dose of 132,264 and 528mg prulifloxacin capsules and multiple doses of 264mg prulifloxacin capsule for 6 days in succession.The blood concentration of NM394-the metabolite of Prulifloxacin was determined by HPLC at different time after oral administration of Prulifloxacin.The simulation and fitting,and computation of parameters were performed using DAS ver1.0 software.RESULTS:All 12 subjects had completed single oral administration test,with no adverse drug reactions appeared during the test.No prulifloxacin but its metabolite-NM394 was identified in the blood sample of subjects.The high,medium and low dosage groups were all fitted two-compartment model.The pharmacokinetics fitted first order kinetics process without gender difference.There was no accumulation and pharmacokinetic parameters change after multiple oral administration of prulifloxacin,suggesting prulifloxacin had no self-enzyme inhibition or induction.CONCLUSION:The established method is sensitive,accurate,reliable and specific,and it can meet the requirement of clinical pharmacokinetic trial.Its parameters are in line with literature reported abroad,with no gender difference among Chinese adults.

Objective:To noninvasively evaluate the clinical value of early renal function changes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) and arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI.Methods:A total of 63 T2DM patients from Tianjin First Central Hospital from September 2019 to May 2022 were prospectively collected, 30 healthy volunteers (control group) were collected during the same period. According to albumin creatinine ratio (ACR), patients with T2DM were divided into normal albuminuria (NAU, ACR<30 mg/g) group and microalbuminuria (MAU, 30 mg/g≤ACR≤300 mg/g) group, there were 35 and 28 cases respectively. All subjects underwent abdominal BOLD and ASL scans. The values of renal cortical and medullary apparent relaxation rate (R 2*) and renal cortical renal blood flow (RBF) were measured. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the differences in R 2* and RBF among the three groups. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze relevant parameters to identify the diagnostic effectiveness of each group, and area under the curve (AUC) was compared by Z-test. Results:There were significant differences in renal medullary R 2* and renal cortical RBF among the control group, NAU group and MAU group ( F=45.83, 34.15, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in renal cortical R 2* ( F=2.98, P=0.056). In differentiating the control group from the NAU group, the AUC of renal medullary R 2*, renal cortical RBF and their combined parameters were 0.921 (95%CI 0.827-0.973), 0.704 (95%CI 0.578-0.811), 0.964 (95%CI 0.885-0.994), respectively. The AUC of combined parameters was significantly different from renal cortical RBF ( Z=4.07, P<0.001), but not from renal medullary R 2* ( Z=1.57, P=0.117). In differentiating the NAU from the MAU group, the AUC were 0.898 (95%CI 0.796-0.960), 0.919 (95%CI 0.823-0.973), 0.985 (95%CI 0.881-0.994), respectively. The AUC of combined parameters was significantly different from renal medullary R 2* and renal cortical RBF ( Z=2.39, P=0.017; Z=2.20, P=0.028). Conclusions:The changes of renal oxygenation level and blood flow in early stage of T2DM patients can be evaluated noninvasively and quantitatively using BOLD and ASL. Renal medullary R 2* combined with renal cortex RBF shows better diagnostic efficacy for early renal function changes in diabetes than each single index.

Objective To investigate the characteristic of lipoprotein(a)[Lp(a)]in different phases of chronic kidney disease (CKD ),to provide the basis for clinical prevention and treatment of CKD.Methods 200 patients with CKD in the Republic Hospital of Shifang were collected as study group,including 5 phases (every phase had 40 cases),and 100 healthy people were selected as control group.Measured the serum Lp(a)of both study and control group,analyzed the correlations between Lp(a)and different phase of CKD.All data were analyzed by SPSS version 17.0.The significant level was established at 0.05.Results CKD1 [(146.0 ±95.5)mg/L]and all CKD group [(231.5 ±133.2)mg/L]had higher level of serum Lp(a)than the control group [(115.5 ±70.2)mg/L] (Z=-2.800,P<0.05 and Z=-7.922,P<0.05).CKD3 had higher Lp(a)level than CKD2(Z=-2.069,P<0.05 ),while there were no significant differences between each of the other two groups.CKD4 -5 [(325 .0 ± 194.7)mg/L]also had higher Lp(a)level than CKD1 -3 [(182.0 ±110.5)mg/L](Z=-4.439,P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with CKD always have high level of serum Lp(a),which have been slowly increased since CKD1 ,meanwhile the level of Lp(a)may have a certain correlation with the stage of CKD development,since Lp(a) is an important promoting factor in the progress of CKD.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of preemptive analgesia with ibuprofen on postoperative pain following the extraction of impacted mandibular third molars in a Chinese population, aiming to provide a clinical reference for its application.Methods:This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group trial was conducted from April 2022 to October 2023 at the Capital Medical University School of Stomatology (40 cases), Beijing TianTan Hospital, Capital Medical University (22 cases), and Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University (20 cases). It included 82 patients with impacted mandibular third molars, with 41 in the ibuprofen group and 41 in the control group. Participants in the ibuprofen group received 300 mg of sustained-release ibuprofen capsules orally 15 min before surgery, while the control group received a placebo. Both groups were instructed to take sustained-release ibuprofen capsules as planned for 3 days post-surgery. Pain intensity was measured using the numerical rating scale at 30 min, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after surgery, and the use of additional analgesic medication was recorded during days 4 to 6 postoperatively.Results:All 82 patients completed the study according to the protocol. No adverse events such as nausea, vomiting, or allergies were reported in either group during the trial. The ibuprofen group exhibited significantly lower pain scores at 4 h [2.0 (1.0, 4.0) vs. 4.0 (3.0, 5.0)] ( Z=-3.73, P<0.001), 6 h [2.0 (1.0, 4.0) vs. 5.0(2.5, 6.0)] ( Z=-3.38, P<0.001), and 8 h [2.0 (1.0, 4.0) vs. 5.0 (2.0, 6.0)] ( Z=-2.11, P=0.035) postoperatively compared to the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in pain scores between the groups at 30 min, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h postoperatively ( P>0.05). Additionally, 11 out of 41 patients (26.8%) in the ibuprofen group and 23 out of 41 patients (56.1%) in the control group required extra analgesic medication between days 4 and 6 post-surgery, with the ibuprofen group taking significantly fewer additional pills [0.0 (0.0, 1.0) vs. 1.0 (0.0, 3.0)] ( Z=-2.81, P=0.005). Conclusions:A pain management regimen involving 300 mg of oral sustained-release ibuprofen capsules administered 15 minutes before surgery and continued for 3 d postoperatively effectively reduces pain levels and the total amount of analgesic medication used after the extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. Considering its efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness, ibuprofen is recommended as a first-line drug for perioperative pain management, enhancing patient comfort during diagnosis and treatment in a feasible manner.

Objective To examine the expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 1 (NOD1),nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB) and human beta-defensins in candidal albicans leukoplakia and to investigate the effect of candida albicans infection on key proteins in NOD 1 signaling pathway and the expression of human beta-defensin.Methods Forty cases of oral leukoplakia samples were collected and stained by hematoxylin-eosin staining,periodic acid-Schiff staining,silver staining and immunohistochemical methods.Nineteen samples were positive with these four methods and judged as candidal albicans leukoplakia,and the other twenty-one samples judged as leukoplakia without candidal albicans infection.Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of NOD1 and NF-κB in these forty samples.In addition,the immunohistochemical method was adopted to investigate the relationship between NOD 1,NF-κB,human beta-defensin 1,2,3 expressions and candida albicans.Results The positive rate of candida albicans in oral leukoplakia was 48％(19/40).The expressions of NOD1 and NF-κB in the candida albicans leukoplakia were lower than that in leukoplakia without candida albicans infection.The mean optical density value of NOD 1,NF-κB,human beta-defensin 1,2,3 in candidal albicans leukoplakia were 0.25±0.01,0.30±0.02,0.35±0.02,0.42±0.03,0.36±0.02 respectively,which were significantly lower than that in leukoplakia without candida albicans infection (0.31±0.02,0.47±0.03,0.42±0.02,0.53±0.04,0.47±0.03) (P＜0.05).Conclusions By inhibiting the NOD1 signaling pathway,candida albicans infection may reduce the expression level of human beta-defensin 1,2,3 in oral leukoplakia.

Objective : To investigate the effects of different root canal filling stop on quality of root canal filling and apical sealing in root canals obturated with GuttaFlow. Methods: 60 teeth were randomly divided into three groups, using different root canal filling stops to shape the root canals with MTwo (25/06) file. All root canals were obturated with Gutta Flow, and the overfilling of the root canals were recorded and evaluated by X-ray. And the apical microleakage of teeth was evaluated by transparent teeth technique. Results: The roots were prepared with MTwo (25/06) as master apical file, the overfilling rate of the root canals in root canal filling stop was higher as the distance from the apex was shorter, but there was no significant difference. The under-filling rate of the root canals in root canal filling stop was higher as the distance from the apex was longer. And the under-filled root canals in root canal filling stop 0.5 mm from the apex showed a statistically significant difference with 2 mm. The mean dyeing penetration length in 0.5 mm and 1 mm group was significantly shorter than 2 mm group. Conclusion A suitable root canal filling stop could improve the quality of root canal filling in root canals obturated with GuttaFlow.
