Objective To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) transplation on reparing carotid artery endothelium in S-D rat injured by balloon.Methods Twenty four male Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats underwent balloon overstretch injury in the right common carotid artery and were randomly divided into treatment group(MSCs suspension injected) and control group(phosphate buffered solution injected).Animals were killed to assess vessel morphology and histology at 14 and 28 days after injury in the two groups.Results By H-E staining,morphometric analysis at 14 and 28 days showed that MSCs injection after balloon injury significantly reduced neointimal thickening compared with PBS injection after balloon injury [(0.57?0.06) cm vs(1.09?0.07) cm at 14 days,P

The inter-species differences of estradiol metabolism were investigated in human, Beagle dog and rat liver microsomes by comparing enzyme kinetics of parent drug and the formation of its major metabolites. The incubation systems of estradiol with liver microsomes of the three species were optimized in terms of estradiol concentration, microsomal protein content and incubation time. The concentrations of estradiol and its metabolites were measured by LC-MS/MS method. The t1/2, CLint, CLh, Km and Vmax of estradiol incubated with male human liver microsomes were 40.02 +/- 8.32 min, 41.39 +/- 6.57 mL x min(-1) x kg(-1), 13.81 +/- 12.36 mL x min(-1) x kg(-1), 26.8 +/- 6.99 micromol x L(-1) and 0.75 +/- 0.92 micromol x L(-1) x min(-1), respectively. The corresponding parameters of female human were 44.71 +/- 10.21 min, 29.85 +/- 8.97 mL x min(-1) x kg(-1), 0.01 +/- 0.68 mL x min(-1) x kg(-1), 44.2 +/- 7.73 micromol x L(-1) and 1.27 +/- 4.41 micromol x L(-1) x min(-1), that of male dog were 21 +/- 7.33 min, 165.53 +/- 29.33 mL x min(-1) xkg(-1), 26.01 +/- 8.39 mL x min(-1) x kg(-1), 19.5 +/- 7.34 micromol x L(-1) and 1.6 +/- 0.65 micromol x L(-1) x min(-1), that of female dog were 25.5 +/- 5.32 min, 135.11 +/- 42.34 mL x min(-1) x kg(-1), 0.24 +/- 3.18 mL x min(-1) x kg(-1), 8.33 +/- 6.32 micromol x L(-1) and 0.51 +/- 2.15 micromol x L(-1) x min(-1), that of male rat were 5.11 +/- 3.84 min, 485.63 +/- 36.52 mL x min(-1) x kg(-1), 49.57 +/- 15.29 mL x min(-1) x kg(-1), 62 +/- 13.74 micromol x L(-1) and 19.16 +/- 9.67 micromol x L(-1) x min(-1), and that of female rat were 7.0 +/- 3.69 min, 354.82 +/- 33.33 mL x min(-1) x kg(-1), 8.04 +/- 3.23 mL x min(-1) x kg(-1), 35.38 +/- 7.65 micromol x L(-1) and 8.39 +/- 4.91 micromol x L(-1) min(-1), respectively. There were nine metabolites detected from all the three species, but the relative amounts of the metabolites generated were different in three species. The results indicted that the major phase I metabolic pathway of estradiol was similar in the liver microsomes from all the three species. However, the inter-species differences were found in the view of relative amounts of the metabolites as well as the metabolic characteristics of estradiol in liver microsomal incubation.

50 adult male SD rats were divided randomly into 5 groups:A,B,C1 ,C2,C3(n =1 0).The rats in roup A was used as a blank controls.The rats in group B and C were with LPS induced periodontitis,those in group C1 ,C2 and C3 received 0.2 ml of baicalin daily injection(0.01 ,0.1 and 1 .0 μg/ml respectively)into the gingival sulcus of the teeth with periodontitis for 3 days.The rats were sacri-ficed 7 days after treatment and periodontal tissues of the related teeth were observed by histology.In group C1 ,C2 and C3 the periodontal inflammation was significantly slighter than that in group B,the osteoclasts count was as following:B >C1 >C2 >C3 >A(P <0.05).The study suggests that baicalin can inhibit destructive effect of LPS to periodontal tissue of rats.

Objective To make a summary of the clinical application and cooperation of piezosurgery in jaw bone tumour operation. Methods 64 patients with jaw bone tumour were selected since 2007 and were divided into the piezosurgery group and the routine group, they used piezosurgery and routine osteotome respectively. Feelings during operation, operation time, hemorrhage, postoperative reaction and complication were observed and compared. Results Discomfort and hemorrhage during operation was lighter, but operation was longer in the piezosurgery group compared with the routine group. Complications such as postoperative infection, hemorrhage and nerve damage did not occurred. Conclusions Application of piezosurgery in jaw bone tumor operation can increase comfort degree and reduce hemorrhage, it requires proficiency in operation procedures and master key aspects of nursing, so that can cooperate well.

Uremic pruritus is one of the skin complications that perplex patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Because the specific pathogenesis is not clear, there is no unified treatment plan in the world. In August 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of difelikefalin (under the trade name Korsuva) for the treatment of moderate to severe pruritus associated with chronic kidney disease in adult patients undergoing hemodialysis. Studies have shown that difelikefalin can remarkably reduce the intensity of pruritus and improve sleep and pruritus-related quality of life. The recommended dose of difelikefalin is 0.5 μg/kg, and difelikefalin is well tolerated and has high safety. This paper reviews the pharmacological effects, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy and safety of difelikefalin.

NKILA is a kind of newly-discovered lncRNA whose expression is aberrant in diverse malignant tumors. The existing researches have confirmed that NKILA participates in the occurrence and development of tumors mainly by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway, and has significance to the cancer diagnosis, treatment and prognostic evaluation of patients. This article reviews the abnormal expressions and biological effects of NKILA, and the up- and down-stream mechanisms of NKILA regulating malignant biological behavior in different cancers.

Glucose transporter 1(GLUT1)overexpression in tumor cells is a potential target for drug therapy,but few studies have reported screening GLUT1 inhibitors from natural or synthetic compounds.With cur-rent analysis techniques,it is difficult to accurately monitor the GLUT1 inhibitory effect of drug molecules in real-time.We developed a cell membrane-based glucose sensor(CMGS)that integrated a hydrogel electrode with tumor cell membranes to monitor GLUT1 transmembrane transport and screen for GLUT1 inhibitors in traditional Chinese medicines(TCMs).CMGS is compatible with cell membranes of various origins,including different types of tumors and cell lines with GLUT1 expression knocked down by small interfering RNA or small molecules.Based on CMGS continuous monitoring technique,we inves-tigated the glucose transport kinetics of cell membranes with varying levels of GLUT1 expression.We used CMGS to determine the GLUT1-inhibitory effects of drug monomers with similar structures from Scutellaria baicalensis and catechins families.Results were consistent with those of the cellular glucose uptake test and molecular-docking simulation.CMGS could accurately screen drug molecules in TCMs that inhibit GLUT1,providing a new strategy for studying transmembrane protein-receptor interactions.

Objective:To explore the clinical manifestations of 4 pedigrees with transthyretin related familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP).Methods:The clinical data were collected and analyzed from 4 pedigrees with TTR-AFP, admitted to our hospital from July 2017 to May 2019; 20 patients and 2 asymptomatic carriers of the TTR mutation gene were included. In particular, the detailed data of the 4 probands affected with TTR-FAP came from the 4 different pedigrees were collected. Results:In these 20 patients, the age of onset ranged from 30 to 65; the first symptoms of diarrhea, constipation, alternating episodes of constipation and diarrhea were found; there were damaged peripheral nerve and inexplicable weight loss; cardiomyopathy was noted in 9 patients; orthostatic hypotension was noted in 9 patients, sexual dysfunction in 5, abnormal urination in 6, and blurred vision or corestenoma in 3. TTR mutation gene was confirmed in 7 patients and pathological diagnosis was found in 3 patients. Diflunisal was used in one patient and tafamidis was used 2 patients. Twelve died and 8 patients survived among 20 patients with disease progression. All the 4 probands were male, with an average age of 49.3 years; all patients had different degrees of sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy and cardiomyopathy; electrophysiological examination suggested length dependent sensory motor peripheral neuropathy of the extremities, with axonal damage as the evidence; and cardiac hypertrophy was noted in echocardiography. The sural nerve biopsy of the 3 probands showed positive Congo red staining. Medical whole exon sequencing indicated that 2 probands had pathogenic mutations (TTR-E74K and TTR-A140S), and 1 proband had likely pathogenic mutation (TTR-S70R). Two asymptomatic carriers of the TTR gene mutation remained normal condition. Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of TTR-FAP include progressive sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathy, and multi-system disorders, such as combining with gastrointestinal problems, hypertrophic myocardium, inexplicable weight loss and blurred vision or corestenoma, which might be important reminders for diagnosis of TTR-FAP.
