Objective To investigate the effect of the asthmatic mice's contents of NF-κB、IκB、p-IκB treated with curcumin.Methods Thirty Balb/c mice were divided into three groups randomly,the normal mice,the asthmatic mice and the curcumin mice.The bronchial hyperresponsiveness of the three groups were exanined by lung function.The NF-κB 、IκB 、p-IκB content of three teams were tested.Results The content of cytoplasm NF-κB in asthmatic mice was lower than the control (P ＜ 0.01).However,the content of cytoplasm NF-κB in curcumin team was more than the asthmatic mice (P ＜ 0.05).In the other hand,The content of nuclear NF-κB in asthmatic mice was more than the control(P ＜0.01).However,the content of nuclear NF-κB in curcumin mice was lower than the asthmatic mice (P ＜ 0.05).The content of cytoplasm p-hκB in asthmatic mice was more than the control and the content of IκB was lower than the control(P ＜ 0.01).Howerer,the content of IκB in curcumin team have much more than the asthmatic mice and the content of p-IκB have much lower than the control(P ＜ 0.01).Condusion Curcumin alleviates the airway hyperresponsiveness of the asthmatic mice through the suppression of NF-κB transcribe to the nuclear via alleviating the phosphorylation of I-κB.

Objective To investigate the effect of the asthmatic mice's airway inflammation and bronchial hyperresponsiveness treated with curcumin.Methods The mice were divided into three teams randomly,the normal mice,the asthmatic mice and the curcumin mice.The mice of three teams were detected by lung function,Giemsa dying,HE and PAS dying,and ELISA.Results After the Mch concentration of 6.25 g/L,the value of Penh in asthmatic mice was higher than the control mice,which was sighifiantly different(P ＜ 0.01).However,the value of Penh in curcumin team was lower than asthmatic mice,which was sighifiantly different (P ＜0.01).The number of total white blood cells and eosinophils was higher in asthmatic mice than the contol,which was sighifiantly different(P ＜0.01).However,the number in curcumin team was lowered than asthmatic team(P ＜ 0.01).The IgE content of BALF in asthmatic mice was higher than the control,which was significantly different(P ＜ 0.01).However,the content in curcumin team was lowered than the asthmatic mice,which had a significant difference(P ＜0.01).Pathology of HE staining in asthmatic mice showed the thickening bronchial wall,narrow lumen,peribronchial and perivascular infiltration with a large number of eosinophil-based inflammatory cells,lumen with many inflammatory secretions.However,the curcumin team was alleviated than the asthmatic mice.There were more goblet cells and more mucus secretion in the asthmatic mice by PAS staining.However,the curcumin team was alleviated than the asthmatic mice.Conclusion Curcumin can alleviate the airway inflammation,mucus secretion,airway hyperresponsiveness and the IgE content of bronchoalveolar lavege fluid.

Objective To investigate the effect of the asthmatic mice's contents of nuclear factorerythroid-2-related factor 2,Nrf2 and HO-1 reated with curcumin in lung tissue.Methods All 45 mice were divided into three teams randomly,the normal mice,the asthmatic mice and the curcumin mice group.We tested the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 of three mice teams in lung by immunolfluorescence technique.We tested the protein contents of Nrf2 and HO-1 of the three teams in the lung tissue by Western blot.We tested the binding activity of Nrff2 and ARE of the three teams in lung by EMSA.Results The expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in curcumin group was significantly higher than that in asthma group and normal control group by immunolfluorescence technique.There was no sigrnificant difference in content of cytoplasm Nrf2 protein in lung tissue between three groups by western blot(P ＞ 0.05).The content of nuclear Nrf2 and HO-1 protein in the lung tissue of the curcumin group was significantly higher than that in the other two groups,the difference is statistically significant (Nrf2,P ＜0.05;HO-1,P ＜0.01).The binding activity of Nrf2-ARE in lung tissue of curcumin group was significantly higher than that of asthma group and control group,with statistical significance(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Curcumin can increase the protein contents of the Nrf2 and HO-1 of mice and enhance the expression of them.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between use of rush poppers and HIV infection, and associated factors among men who have sex with men in Changsha.

METHODSA cross-sectional study was conducted in Changsha from April to December, 2014. Men who have sex with men who came for HIV counseling and testing services were invited to fill out a survey. A total of 608 MSM were finally recruited. The survey included socio-demographic characteristics, sexual roles, sexual behaviors in last 6 months and rush poppers use, HIV infection among MSM. After finishing the questionnaire, 5 ml blood was also drawn for HIV testing. Chi-square test or Fisher probabilities was used to compare usage of rush poppers and HIV antibody positive rate among MSM who had different characteristics and sexual behaviors. Multi-factor unconditioned logistic regression model was used to explore related factors about rush poppers use and HIV infection of MSM.

RESULTSAmong 608 MSM, 29.8% (181) said they ever used rush poppers, and 13.3% (81 cases) were HIV positive. Among MSM who ever used rush poppers, 18.8% (34/181) were HIV positive; While among those who never used rush poppers, 10.5% (45/427) were HIV positive (χ(2)=7.65,P=0.006). Compared with MSM who had no For One Night sex in the last 6 months,OR (95% CI) value of MSM who had 6-10 times For One Night sexes in last 6 months to use rush poppers was 4.32 (1.77-10.57). Compared with MSM who self-identified as top,OR (95% CI) value of MSM who self-identified as bottom or versatile using rush poppers were 2.99 (1.53-5.86), or 3.60 (2.13-6.09). Compared with MSM who self-identified as top, OR (95% CI) value of MSM who self-identified as bottom or versatile to infect HIV were 3.19 (1.35-7.58), or 2.33 (1.12-4.85). Compared with MSM who used condoms at every anal sex,OR (95% CI) value of MSM who used condoms sometimes or never used to infect HIV were 1.93 (1.12-3.35) or 1.87 (0.64-5.50). Compared with MSM who never used rush poppers,OR (95% CI) value of MSM who ever used rush poppers to infect HIV was 1.88 (1.12-3.16).

CONCLUSIONA large percentage of MSM population in Changsha used rush poppers, and HIV antibody positive rate among MSM was high. MSM who had more frequencies of For One Night sexes, self-identified as bottom or versatile were more likely to use rush poppers and more susceptible to HIV infection. In addition, MSM who had low frequency of condom use in the last 6 months in anal intercourse were more likely to infect HIV.

Objective To investigate the advantages of pediatric electronic fiber bronchoscope ( FBO) in the infant bronchial foreign body,discuss the clinical features of infant bronchial foreign body,lung imaging characteristics and the kinds of microscopically position,the change of airway mucosa after stimulation by for-eign body under local anesthesia in 30 cases of infant bronchial foreign body. Methods Thirty cases,aged 0 to 3 years,were collected from September to December,2014. All of them were with foreign bodies examined by FBO in pediatric bronchoscopy room in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University. Results In all infants, 6 cases (20. 0%) without history of inhaled foreign bodies and 24 cases (80. 0%) with a record history of in-haled. In the aspects of signs:normal breath sounds with a history of no choking cough in children were 2 cases (6. 7%) ,wheezing sounds were 3 patients (10. 0%) and weakened side breath sound was 1 case (3. 3%);with a history of choking cough in children,6 cases(20. 0%) with normal breath sounds,12 cases(40. 0%) with wheez-ing,6 cases(20. 0%) with lateral breath sounds less. Lung imaging characteristics was lack of specific perform-ance:only a case of all(n=30)show foreign body directly. Otherwise,other 29 cases had no specificity. Lung em-physema in 13 cases (43. 3%) is the main characteristic,while normal imaging findings in 2 cases (6. 7%). For-eign bodies in 19 cases were in the left lung (63. 4%) and 21 cases(70. 0%) of foreign body stimulated granula-tion inside airway,necrosis sputum bolt in distal obstruction of airway occured in 5 cases (16. 7%). Inhalled time of foreign body in airway was 4. 5 [2. 8,12. 5] day and inhalled time of foreign body in airway correlation coefficient with granulation hyperplasia(r=0. 688,P=0. 000),there was a significant correlation. Main adverse reaction was low oxygen in 6 cases (16. 7%). Conclusion The diagnostic accuracy of FBO under local anesthesia on children is high-er than other methods,and the FBO bronchial foreign bodies under local anesthesia is a safe and effective method.

Objective To improve the pediatrician's understanding of severe combined immunodefi-ciency disease (SCID),so as to strengthen the early diagnosis and treatment of SCID. Methods The clinical manifestations,related immunological findings,imaging findings and outcomes of 10 SCID children admitted to our hospital from 2007 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The clinical manifestations of primary SCID were frequent infections shortly after birth. There were 8 males and 2 females in this study. The average age of onset was 4. 2 months,and the average age of diagnosis was 6 months. Eight cases of thymus shadow were absent,9 cases of pulmonary CT showed severe pneumonia,and 3 cases of pulmonary fungal infection. Six of 7 children died of infection and the age of death was less than 1 year old. Laboratory exami-nation showed that 10 patients had abnormal cell and humoral immune function;10 cases of CD3 +T cells were <20%,3 cases of CD16 +CD56 +( NK%) >85%,7 cases ≤ 2%. There was an increase in B cell reactivity of 7 cases,but the secretion of immunoglobulin in 5 cases was significantly reduced. Seven cases of IgG<2. 0 g/L,3 cases>2. 0 g/L. Eight cases were confirmed of the primary SCID by genetic testing. Con-clusion The clinical manifestations of SCID are frequent bacterial,viral and fungal infections in a short time after birth. In clinical work,when small infants are repeatedly infected after birth,or multiple sites are serious-ly infected and prolonged,we must think of the possibility of SCID and timely related immune function tests, strive to achieve early diagnosis,timely treatment,and early bone marrow stem cell transplantation.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Xianglian Huazhuo prescription in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） based on network pharmacology and animal experiments，so as to provide scientific basis for clinical application. MethodThe possible targets and pathways of Xianglian Huazhuo prescription in the treatment of CAG were obtained based on the prediction of network pharmacology. The CAG rat model was induced by sodium salicylate，N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine （MNNG） and hunger and satiety disorder. Then the CAG rats were treated with Xianglian Huazhuo prescription and morodan for 60 days. After administration，the rats were sacrificed，and the content of interleukin-6 （IL-6），tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α），interleukin-1β （IL-1β） and vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） in serum was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. In addition， the protein expression of Bad and Bcl-2 in gastric mucosa was detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. ResultA total of 241 active components of Xianglian Huazhuo prescription and 53 core targets were obtained. Xianglian Huazhuo prescription affected multiple biological processes，such as cell proliferation and apoptosis，inflammatory reaction，regulation of DNA metabolism，and cell response to redox，as well as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt），TNF，mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK），cancer and cancer-related signaling pathways. The animal model verification showed that Xianglian Huazhuo prescription lowered the levels of IL-6，TNF-α，IL-1β and VEGF in serum of CAG rats，and reduced the protein expression of Bad and Bcl-2 in gastric tissue. ConclusionXianglian Huazhuo prescription could regulate PI3K/Akt signal pathway and improve gastric mucosal injury in CAG by participating in biological processes such as cell proliferation，apoptosis and inflammation.
