Aims To observe the effect of saccharide extracts of Yiqijianpi herb Codonopsis and Glycyrrhizae on polyamine-dependent activation of K+ channels sig-nal pathway during cell migration and to investigate their mechanism of promoting restoration in gastrointes-tinal mucosal injuries. Method The study was based on IEC-6 cell migration model. While in a normal polyamine level or polyamine was inhibited by DFMO, the effect of Codonopsis saccharide extracts and Glycyr-rhizae saccharide extracts on polyamine-dependent acti-vation of K+ channels signal pathway during cell mi-gration was observed. (1) K+ channel protein Kv1. 1 was determined by Western blot. (2)Membrane poten-tial was measured by Flow Cytometer. (3) Laser scan-ning confocal microscope was used for measuring [ Ca2+] cyt. ( 4 ) The expression of RhoA, which is Ca2+ downstream protein, was determined by Western blot. Results During cell migration, Codonopsis and Glycyrrhizae saccharide extracts could: ( 1 ) improve the expression of Kv1 . 1 protein and ameliorate the de-crease of kv1. 1 protein expression by DFMO;(2) in-crease membrane hyperpolarization and reverse mem-brane depolarization resulted by DFMO; ( 3 ) improve intracellular [ Ca2+] cyt, while Codonopsis could re-verse the decrease of [ Ca2+] cyt caused by DFMO;(4) improve the expression of RhoA protein, reversing its decline caused by DFMO. Conclusion Codonop-sis and Glycyrrhizae saccharide extracts can promote cell migration in IEC-6 cell, which is correlated with their effect on polyamine-dependent activation of K+channels signal pathway.

Objective To evaluate cardiac biomarkers as biological risk factors for cardiovascular and all-cause motality in HD patients.In addition,a multimarker approach including inflammatory index was performed to improve the cardiovascular and all-canse risk assessment of these patients.Methods The author measured Troponin-T (TnT),N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HsCRP),collected the clinical data at baseline (January 2012) in 229 HD patients in three hemodialysis centers in Haidian District of Beijing,recorded time and cause of death in the next 1000 days.Kaplan-Meier was used to calculate survival rate and impact factors of prognosis.Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate significance of =TnT,NT-proBNP and HsCRP and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of death.Results During the followup,37 patients died,mainly from cardiac cause (54.05%,20/37).Univariate analysis found old age,diabetes,cardiovascular disease,low serum albumin,CRP≥3 mg/L,TnT≥0.1 mg/L,NT-proBNP≥ 4381 ng/L were associated with prognosis.Elevated cTnT,NT-proBNP or HsCRP were all associated with increased cardiovascular and all-cause motality.Moreover,the combination of all parameters (NTproBNP≥4381 ng/L and TnT≥0.1 mg/L and HsCRP≥3 mg/L) were dramatically associated with increased cardiovascular cause mortality (HR=25.25,P < 0.01) and all-cause mortality (HR=27.33,P < 0.01).The association were significant even after full adjustment for cardiovascular (HR=14.33,P < 0.01) and all-cause mortality (HR=1 1.54,P < 0.01) respectively.Conclusions A combined index of cardiovascular risk factors could provide supplementary risk stratification in HD patients for cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality,strongly supporting the annual routine determination of these biomarkers.

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of Codonopsis and Glycyrrhiza glycoconjugates on migration and membrane potential of small intestinal epithelial cells(IEC-6),and to explore the promoting effects of Yiqi jianpi herb Codonopsis and Glycyrrhiza on gastrointestinal mucosal injury repair and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Under normal conditions or loaded with the inhibitor of potassium channel 4-aminopyridine(4-AP),IEC-6 cells were treated with Codonopsis and Glycyrrhiza glycoconjugates (25-200 mg · L-1) for 24 h,respectively. IEC-6 cell migration was observed by the phase contrast microscope and cell membrane potential was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS Codonopsis and Glycyrrhiza glycoconjugates (50 and 100 mg · L-1) increased the number of migrated IEC-6 cell compared with normal control group(P<0.01,P<0.05). Compared with normal control group,4-AP reduced the number of migrated IEC-6 cell(P<0.01). Codonopsis and Glycyrrhiza glycoconjugates (50-200 mg · L-1)reversed cell migration inhibited by 4-AP significantly when compared with 4-AP model group(P<0.01). The results of flow cyometry analysis showed that the cell membrane poten?tial was increased after treatment with Codonopsis and Glycyrrhiza glycoconjugates(50 mg · L-1)compared with normal control group and resulted in an increase in cell membrane hyperpolarization(P<0.01). Compared with normal control group,4-AP decreased the cell membrane potential(P<0.01)and resulted in cell membrane depolarization. Also,compared with 4-AP model group,cell membrane depolarization induced by 4-AP was reversed by treatment with Codonopsis and Glycyrrhiza glycoconjugates(100 and 200 mg·L-1). CONCLUSION Codonopsis and Glycyrrhiza glycoconjugates may promote gastrointestinal mucosal injury repair and the mechanisms may involve the activation of signaling pathways by affecting polyamine-dependent intestinal epithelial cell migration voltage-gated K+channels.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(3):443-447
Abstract
Dry eye is a multifactorial ocular surface disease characterized by tear film homeostasis imbalance, which usually causes eye discomfort and visual impairment. With the change of environment and lifestyle, the incidence of dry eye in children and adolescents has risen steadily. Epidemiological studies have confirmed that the incidence of dry eye is closely related to unhealthy lifestyle. Prevention should be given great priority to in avoiding lifestyle related dry eye. The review summarizes the definition, epidemiology, risk factors and preventive measures of lifestyle related dry eye, so as to provide a theoretical basis for improving the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of lifestyle related dry eye in children and adolescents.
7.Diagnosis and treatment progress of primary bone lymphoma
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2018;41(4):377-380
Primary bone lymphoma(PBL)is rare and has no specific clinical features.A mouth-eaten pattern of bone destruction in metaphysic or subchondral bone and a large soft-tissue mass with little cortical destruction are important imaging features of primary bone lymphoma. The final diagnosis mainly depends on the histopathological features and the expression of specific proteins showing by immunohistochemical staining. It bears a good outcome after radiation and chemical therapy. The operation is not a routine therapy method.So, it is important to make accurate diagnosis before radiation and chemical therapy. In this article, we reviewed the clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of primary bone lymphoma.
