OBJECTIVE:To study protective effects of glutamine (Gln) on cardiac muscle cell in septic model rats. METH-ODS:Rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (normal saline),model group (normal saline) and Gln low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups(0.5,0.75,1.0 g/kg)with 10 rats in each group. In these groups,septic rat model was induced by cecal ligation and puncture except sham operation group received sham operation. They were given relevant medicine intrave-nously 10 min after operation,and the characteristics and apoptosis of cardiac muscle cell were observed 12 h after operation. The serum contents of CK,LDH and TnⅠ,and the expression of Bcl-2 and p53 mRNA were all detected. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,myocardial necrosis of model group was found,and the serum content of CK,LDH and TnⅠ and apoptotic index increased,and mRNA expression of Bcl-2 in cardiac muscle cell decreased while that of p53 increased,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). Compared with model group,myocardial injury relieved significantly in Gln high-dose and medium-dose groups, and serum contents of CK,LDH and TnⅠ and apoptotic index decreased;mRNA expression of Bcl-2 increased in cardiac muscle cell while that of p53 decreased,with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Gln can improve myocardial injury of septic model rats significantly,by a possible mechanism of down-regulating the expression of p53 gene and up-regulating the ex-pression of Bcl-2 gene.

Objective To study the relationship of symptoms of female gonococcal infections to Chlamydia trachomatis infection, serum sex hormone levels, etc. Methods A total of 136 gonorrhea female patients without obvious symptoms were recruited in this study together with 45 gonorrhea patients with obvious symptoms as the controls. Serum progesterone (P) and estradiol (E2) levels were measured by radio immunoassay (RIA). Cervical swabs were obtained from the subjects and eluted into isotonic saline solution, the elution was divided into 2 portions and tested for the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β by ELISA and for the DNA of C. Trachomatis and N. Gonorrhea with PCR. Statistical analysis was carried out by SPSS for Windows (version 12.0). Results There was no statistical correlation between C. Trachomatis infection and asymptomatic status of female gonococcal infection (χ2 = 0.016, P > 0.05). However, the decrease in the level of TNF-α and IL-1β significantly correlated with the increase in serum progestogen (r = -0.8798, -0.8935, respectively, both P < 0.01). Conclusion The high serum level of progesterone may be associated with the asymptomatic status of gonococcal infection.

Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis patients complicated by diabetes mellitus (PTB-DM), so as to provide insights into PTB-DM control.
Methods:
The data pertaining to PTB cases in Quzhou City from 2016 to 2020 were extracted from Tuberculosis Information Management System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The demographic features, diagnosis and treatment of PTB-DM patients were descriptively analyzed, and compared with PTB patients.
Results:
The incidence of PTB-DM was 6.79/105 to 9.27/105 in Quzhou City from 2016 to 2020, with an annual increase rate of 8.09%. Among all PTB-DM patients, there were 674 men (76.94%), 620 cases at ages of 60 years and older (70.78%), 564 cases living in urban areas (64.38%), 619 farmers (70.66%), 537 cases with delay in healthcare-seeking (61.30%), 802 treatment-naïve cases (91.55%), 547 cases positive for pathogenic tests (62.44%), 11 cases with rifampicin resistance (1.26%), 695 cases with negative conversion of sputum smears 2 months post-treatment (79.34%), and 783 cases with successful treatment (89.38%). The proportions of men, ages of 60 years and older, living in urban areas, farmers, delay in healthcare-seeking, positive pathogenic tests and rifampicin resistance were significantly higher among PTB-DM patients than among PTB patients, and the negative conversion rate of sputum smears 2 months post-treatment was significantly lower among PTB-DM patients than among PTB patients (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
The incidence of PTB-DM increased year by year in Quzhou City from 2016 to 2020, and PTB-DM cases were predominantly found among elderly men. The proportion of delay in healthcare-seeking, positive pathogenic tests and rifampicin resistance was higher among PTB-DM patients than among PTB patients.

Background:
Diabetic pain patients have increased pain at night. Exosomes can relieve neuropathic pain. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of exosome administration at different time points in relieving diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) in rats.
Methods:
M2 macrophages from bone marrow were induced in mice and exosomes were extracted. A diabetic rat model was induced using streptozotocin, with the mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) of the rats beingmeasured at ≤ 80% of the basal value after 14 days, indicating successful construction of the DNP rat model.Exosomes were administered on three consecutive days at ZT0 (zeitgeber time) and ZT12. Parameters including blood glucose levels, body weight, MWT, and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were assessed in the rats. The lumbar spinal cord of rats was examined on days 21 and 28 to measure inflammatory factors and observe the expression of M1 and M2 microglia. Furthermore, microglia were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and LPS + exosomes in a controlled in vitro setting to assess alterations in microglia phenotype involving the NF-kB p65 andIKBα inflammatory signaling pathways.
Results:
The findings revealed that administration of exosomes during the rat resting period at ZT12 resulted in increased MWT and TWL, as well as a shift in microglia polarization towards the M2 phenotype. In vitro analysis indicated that exosomes influenced microglia polarization and suppressed the phosphorylation of NF-kB p65 andIKBα.
Conclusions
Temporal therapy with exosomes effectively reduces pain in DNP rats by polarizing microglia andaffecting NF-kB p65 and IKBα signaling pathways.
