Objective: To investigate the innate immune response of influenza virus-infected glial cells,the transcription levels in chemokines in mouse microglia and astrocytes were detected which pre-infected by human H1N1 or avian H5N1 influenza viruses.Methods: The glial cells isolated from neonatal mice cerebral cortex were cultured and further microglia and astrocytes were purified.The primary mouse microglia and astrocytes were infected in vitro by H1N1 or H5N1 influenza viruses in a multiplicity of infection (MOI) 2.Eight hours post infection,the influenza virus nucleoprotein (NP) was detected by immunofluorescence to identify the proportion of infected cells.The cellular RNA were extracted at 6 h and 24 h to detect the transcriptional level of chemokines by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results: More than 95% of the microgha and astrocytes which isolated from mice were infected.The transcription levels of CCL-3,CCL-5,CXCL-2,CXCL-9 and CXCL-10 from infected microglia and astrocytes were upregulated.Futhermore,the mRNA level of CXCL-10 increased much more.In addition,avian H5N1 influenza virus could induce more stronger upregulation of those chemokines than human H1N1 did.Conclusion: The mouse microglia and astro cytes which are infected by H1N1 influenza virus or H5N1 influenza virus could induce upregulation of transcription level of chemokines.

Objective To explore the mechanism for the increase in reactive oxygen species regulated by p47phox of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase subunit in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after oxygen therapy in premature infants.Methods According to different volume fractions of oxygen,premature infants less than 32 weeks were divided into 3 groups:fractional concentration of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ＜ 30％ was low concentration oxygen group,FiO2 between 30％ and 40％ as middle concentration oxygen group,and FiO2 ＞ 40％ as high concentration oxygen group.Premature infants less than 32 weeks without oxygen was control group.After 48 h,3 mL blood was collected via radial artery from each group,PBMCs and serum were separated.Then intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) by confocal laser scanning microscopy,malondialdehyde (MDA) within serum by thiobarbituric acid colorimetric,and the location and activation rate of p47phox through immunofluorescence.Results After premature infants were exposed to oxygen,as the oxygen volume fraction was increasing,ROS and MDA gradually rised.More PBMCs with p47phox translocated to membrane,then the translocation rate of p47phox also increased.Compared with the control group,ROS were significantly higher(q =4.48,6.5,16.22,all P ＜ 0.05) among the other 3 groups ; MDA significantly increased as well(q =5.08,8.22,12.76,all P ＜ 0.05) ; the activation rate of p47phox also had significant differences (x2 =134.008,P ＜ 0.05);compared with the middle concentration oxygen group,the high concentration oxygen group had higher ROS and MDA(q =15.03,4.53,all P ＜ 0.05) ; the activation rate of p47phox increased significantly(x2 =19.26,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions After oxygen exposure,p47phox translocated to membrane may regulate the NADPH oxidase-derived ROS increase in extremely premature infants.

Objective:To explore the effects of Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Prescription on the proliferation and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells; To discuss its possible mechanism.Methods:Using human highly metastatic liver cancer cell line (HCCLM3) as the research object, they were randomly divided into control group and TCM group (100, 200, 400, 800, 1 600, 3 200 μg/ml Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Prescription) and Western medicine group (2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 μmol/L sorafenib) using a random number table method. Cell viability was detected using cell counting reagent (CCK-8) method; HCCLM3 cells were divided into control group and TCM (Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Prescription 800 μg/ml) group and combined group (Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Prescription 800 μg/ml +sorafenib 20 μmol/L). Western blot method was used to detect the protein expressions of kinase/signaling transducer and transcriptional activator (JAK2/STAT3) pathway related proteins (p-JAK2, JAK2, p-STAT3, STAT3) in each group.Results:Compared with the control group, viability and mobility of HCCLM cell in TCM group and Western medicine group decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05); compared with the control group, the protein expressions of P-JAK2, JAK2, P-STAT3 and STAT3 in the TCM group and the combined group decreased ( P<0.05), and the JAK2 protein expression in the combined group was lower than that in the TCM group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Prescription can inhibit the proliferation and migration of HCC cells by regulating JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Extra-articular distal tibial fractures as a result of high-energy damage are often comminuted or displaced, frequently accompanied by severe soft tissue injuries.Poor blood supply and various complications make the treatment more difficult,affecting life quality of the patients.The main goals of the treatment are to abtain a healed,well-aligned fracture,functional range of motion of the ankle joint and minimizing complications.It is generally recommended that surgical treatment be performed in the proper context of local conditions to facilitate early functional exercise.Plate fixation and intramedullary nail fixation are the common options for closed fractures.This article focuses on the two treatment methods and some important auxiliary technologies in both domestic and foreign, hoping to provide some references for clinical treatment.

Depression is a mental disorder with high morbidity, disability and relapse rates. Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE), a traditional Chinese medicine, has a long history of clinical application in the treatment of cerebral and mental disorders, but the key mechanism remains incompletely understood. Here we showed that GEB exerted anti-depressant effect in mice through regulating gut microbial metabolism. GBE protected against unpredictable mild stress (UMS)-induced despair, anxiety-like and social avoidance behavior in mice without sufficient brain distribution. Fecal microbiome transplantation transmitted, while antibiotic cocktail abrogated the protective effect of GBE. Spatiotemporal bacterial profiling and metabolomics assay revealed a potential involvement of Parasutterella excrementihominis and the bile acid metabolite ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in the effect of GBE. UDCA administration induced depression-like behavior in mice. Together, these findings suggest that GBE acts on gut microbiome-modulated bile acid metabolism to alleviate stress-induced depression.
