Lingguizhugan Decoction (LGZG) has been investigated in basic studies, with satisfactory effects on insulin resistance in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This translational approach aimed to explore the effect and underlying mechanism of LGZG in clinical setting. A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was performed. A total of 243 eligible participants with NAFLD were equally allocated to receive LGZG (two groups: standard dose and low dose) or placebo for 12 weeks on the basis of lifestyle modifications. The primary efficacy variable was homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Analyses were performed in two populations in accordance with body mass index (BMI; overweight/obese, BMI ⩾ 24 kg/m2; lean, BMI < 24 kg/m2). For overweight/obese participants, low-dose LGZG significantly decreased their HOMA-IR level compared with placebo (-0.19 (1.47) versus 0.08 (1.99), P = 0.038). For lean subjects, neither dose of LGZG showed a superior effect compared with placebo. Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing and real-time qPCR found that the DNA N6-methyladenine modification levels of protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 3A (PPP1R3A) and autophagy related 3 (ATG3) significantly increased after LGZG intervention in overweight/obese population. Low-dose LGZG effectively improved insulin resistance in overweight/obese subjects with NAFLD. The underlying mechanism may be related to the regulation of DNA N6-methyladenine modification of PPP1R3A and ATG3. Lean subjects may not be a targeted population for LGZG.

Objective:To identify the epidemic clones of MRSA isolates at a hospital in shanghai.Methods:A total of 72 MRSA isolates have been isolated from a second grade hospital between 2017 and 2018, including 32 CA-MRSA isolates, 13 HA-MRSA isolates and 26 MRSA isolates from environment. In this study, MLST and PFGE typing methods were used to analyze the molecular epidemiology of the MRSA isolates.Results:A total of 72 MRSA isolates have been obtained including 46 isolates from clinical specimens, 26 isolates from environments. The 46 MRSA isolates from clinical specimens consisted of 33 CA-MRSA (community-acquired MRSA) and 13 HA-MRSA (hospital-acquired MRSA). Furthermore, these patients infected with MRSA isolates were mostly distributed in the department of geriatrics (34.8%, 16/46), internal medicine (26.1%, 12/46) and surgery (26.1%, 12/46). MLST typing results showed that ST764 was predominant in isolates from both clinical specimens and hospital environments. Furthermore, PFGE typing results showed that most ST764 MRSA had high homolog (>90%).Conclusion:ST764 MRSA isolates might spread in community, hospital and environments. Therefore, continuous monitoring of MRSA and its variation may be useful in understanding the involvement of epidemic clone, and in searching new strategies to control MRSA infection.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of dihydroquercetin (DHQ) on hemorheology and other relevant related indexes in local cerebral ischemic injury model rats. METHODS: SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, nimodipine group (positive control, 20 mg/kg) and DHQ low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (15, 30, 60 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. Administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically, sham operation group and model group were given constant volume of 0.4% Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution, once a day, for consecutive 14 d. After last administration, local cerebral ischemic injury model was induced by bilateral common carotid artery ligation in other groups except for sham operation group. After 24 h of cerebral ischemia, histopathological changes of brain tissue in rats of each group were observed; the levels of hemorheology indexes [whole blood viscosity (low, medium and high shear), whole blood reduced viscosity (low, medium and high shear), plasma viscosity], erythrocyte parameters (hematocrit, EAI, DI, IR), coagulation function indexes (APTT, PT, TT, FIB) were detected. RESULTS: Compared with sham operation group, the cells in the brain tissue of model group were loose, the gap was obvious, and the neurons around the ischemic area were damaged obviously; the levels of whole blood viscosity, whole blood reduced viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, EAI, IR and FIB were increased significantly, while the levels of DI, APTT, PT and TT were decreased or shortened significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group, above symptoms of administration groups were improved to different extents, whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, EAI and IR of nimodipine group, whole blood viscosity and hematocrit of DHQ high-dose group, plasma viscosity and EAI of DHQ groups, and IR of DHQ medium-dose and high-dose groups were decreased significantly; DI, APTT, PT and TT of nimodipine group, DI, APTT and TT of DHQ groups and PT of DHQ high-dose group were increased or prolonged significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no statistical significance in other indexes among those groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: DHQ can protect against local cerebral ischemic injury model rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with improving hemorheology indexes and coagulation function disorder.
