Objective To investigate the growth inhibition effect of evodiamine (Evo) on renal carcinoma 786-0 cells and to explore its molecular mechanism. Methods After treated with Evo, methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium ( MTT) assay was used to detect the vitality of 786-0 cells, flow cytometry was employed to examine the cell cycle distribution in 786-0 cells, and immunoblotting was utilized to determine the expression levels of target proteins related to cell cycle progression. Results Evo remarkably inhibited 786-0 cells vitality in dose-dependent manner. Cell cycle analysis indicated that 786-0 cells were arrested in G2/M phase followed by Evo treatment. Furthermore, the results of immunoblotting showed that Evo up-regulated the protein expression levels of P53, P21 and its downstream target gene CyclinB1 in 786-0 cells. Conclusion Evo treatment can induce 786-0 cell cycle G2/M arrest, and its underlying mechanism might be dependent on the P53/P21 signal pathway.

Based on the standards of modern Chinese medicinal materials, literature and records of ancient books, this article reviewed the preliminary processing of Aucklandiae Radix and processing of its decoction pieces. There are some problems in the records of the initial processing of Aucklandiae Radix, such as lack of specific parameters, inconsistent processing sequence, unclear removal methods of fibrous roots and soil, inconsistent cutting specifications, drying methods and temperature. Different processing methods of Aucklandiae Radix decoction pieces can lead to differences in the content of their index components. From the initial processing of the producing area to softening, slicing, and then secondary drying, it may increase production costs and time, and lead to the loss of active components. There are more than 20 kinds of processing methods in ancient books, such as stirfrying, baking, simmering, grinding juice and so on. However, only paper simmering, bran stirfrying and Coptidis Rhizoma processing are commonly used at present, and other processing methods have great exploration space. Referring to the research results of freshcut processing of other Chinese materia medica containing volatile components, it is considered that the key to ensure the quality of Chinese materia medica and decoction pieces is to formulate a standardized process flow of freshcut processing of Aucklandiae Radix.

Objective:To evaluate the shoulder arthroscopic treatment of avulsion fracture of humeral greater tuberosity with double-row suture bridge.Methods:Retrospectively analyzed were the 13 avulsion fractures of humeral greater tuberosity which had been treated by shoulder arthroscopic double-row suture bridge at Bone and Joint Department, Guangzhou Liwan District Orthopedic Hospital from March, 2018 to March, 2020. There were 6 males and 7 females, with an average ages of 52.3 years (from 35 to 69 years). According to the Mutch classification, all the fractures of humeral greater tuberosity were attributed to the avulsion type. Of them, 3 were simple avulsion fractures of humeral greater tuberosity and 10 were complicated with shoulder anterior dislocation which was reduced manually before operation. There were 3 obsolete avulsion fractures of humeral greater tuberosity. Regular clinic and X-ray follow-ups were carried out. At the final follow-up, the pain, range of motion (ROM) and stability of the shoulder joint were assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS), American shoulder elbow scores (ASES), and Korean shoulder scores (KSS).Results:All the patients were followed up for an average of 12.3 months (from 10 to 16 months) postoperatively. No infection or shoulder instability was observed. At the final follow-up, the abduction and elevation averaged 164.6° (from 135° to 180°), the lateral external rotation 62.7° (from 40° to 80°), the internal rotation touch back test T10 level (from L2 to T6), the VAS 0.65 (from 0 to 2.5), the ASES 90.5 (from 78 to 100), and the KSS 91.5 (from 84 to 100).Conclusion:Shoulder arthroscopic treatment of avulsion fracture of humeral greater tuberosity with double-row suture bridge is minimally invasive and allows for repair of combined injury, leading to quick postoperative recovery.

Objective:To study the influence of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) specific agonist G1 and antagonist G2 in epilepsy susceptibility of temporal lobe epileptic rats.Methods:Sixty rats were randomly divided into control group, G1 treatment group and G15 treatment group ( n=20). Rats in the latter two groups were intraperitoneally injected with GPER1 agonist G1 (10 μg) or antagonist G15 (40 μg) for a consecutive 12 d. Lithium chloride pilocarpine epilepsy models were prepared in the 3 groups. The behavior manifestations of these rats were observed within 1 h of intraperitoneal injection of pilocarpine; Racine grading was used to evaluate the severity of epileptic seizures every 5 min; the latency of epileptic seizures (Racine grading IV) and epileptic seizure grading at different time points in the 3 groups were compared. The EEG monitoring was performed to these rats, and EEG data were recorded from 10 min before pilocarpine injection to 2 h after pilocarpine injection; EEG time-frequency was analyzed by Fast-Fourier transform (FFT); distribution of brain electrical energy and changes of θ and α wave energy during 20 min of epileptic status were compared among the 3 groups. Results:(1) As compared with that in the control group and G1 treatment group, the latency of epileptic seizures in the G15 treatment group was significantly shortened ( P<0.05); 15 and 20 min after pilocarpine injection, the epileptic seizure grading of rats in G1 treatment group was statistically lower than that in control group ( P<0.05); 15-35 min after pilocarpine injection, the epileptic seizure grading of rats in G15 treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group ( P<0.05). (2) As compared with those in the control group, rats in the G1 treatment group had smaller brain wave amplitude, while the rats in the G15 treatment group had earlier seizure time, larger brain wave amplitude and higher frequency. There were no obvious changes in the amount of brain electrical energy between the G1 treatment group and control group; while the amount of brain electrical energy in the G15 treatment group 2 h after pilocarpine injection was higher than that in the control group. As compared with those in the control group and G1 treatment group, the θ and α wave energy values of rats in the G15 treatment group were significantly increased within 20 min of epileptic status ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Activation level of GPER1 might be associated with susceptibility to epileptic seizures, and specific inhibition of GPER1 activation can enhance the susceptibility to epilepsy and increase the energy values of specific frequency bands during epilepsy.

Objective To study the role and mechanism of orexin A in cell viability of Alzheimer's disease (AD) cell model PC12. Methods PC12 cells were treated with 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 μmol/L Aβ25-35 for 24 h, and then, cell viability was measured by MTT to confirm which concentration was the suitable one to establish the AD cell models. (1) AD cell models were treated with 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 2μmol/L orexin A for 24 h, and then, 30μmol/L Aβ25-35 was added for 24 h; MTT assay was used to determine the cell viability to conform the suitable concentration of orexin A. (2) Inverted phase contrast microscope was employed to observe the morphology changes of PC12 cells from the control group, 30 μmol/L Aβ25-35 treatment group, and 0.01 μmol/L orexin A+30 μmol/L Aβ25-35 treatment group. (3) The PC12 cells were given pretreatment of orexin A receptor inhibitor SB408124 for 2 h, and cell viability was detected. Results (1) Aβ25-35 at concentration 30μmol/L was the suitable one to establish the AD cell models;after being pretreated with different concentrations of orexin A, the cell viability showed significant differences (F=27.120, P=0.000), and 0.01μmol/L orexin A was the suitable concentration. (2) Some of the cells from the 30μmol/L Aβ25-35 treatment group had breaking-off of protuberance and damaged soma;cells from 0.01μmol/L orexin A+30μmol/L Aβ25-35 treatment group had breaking-off of protuberance, and the degree of damaged soma was eased as compared with that in the 30μmol/L Aβ25-35 treatment group. (3) If the cell viability of the control group was 100%, cell viability of orexin A receptor inhibitor group was 109.10%±0.36%, which was significantly decreased as compared with that in the 0.01 μmol/L orexin A pretreated group (117.24%±2.72%, P<0.05). Conclusion Orexin A can improve the cell viability via combination of its specific receptor; orexin A and its specific receptor may be new targets for prevention and cure of AD.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effects of Compound qinbai granules on ulcerative colitis (UC) in rats and its mechanism based on short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) and their targets G protein-coupled receptor (GPR). METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group (12 rats) and model group (30 rats); the model group was given 5% dextran sulfate sodium solution to induce the UC model. Model rats were divided into the model group, positive control group [Mesalazine enteric-coated tablets 270 mg/(kg·d)] and Compound qinbai granules group [2.52 g/(kg·d)], with 9 rats in each group. Rats in each group were orally administered with normal saline or corresponding medication twice a day, for three consecutive weeks. During intragastric administration, the general conditions of rats in each group were observed, and the disease activity index (DAI) scores were assessed after the last administration. Serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (transforming growth factor-β1, interleukin-10) were measured. Pathological changes in their colonic tissues were observed and scored. Additionally, the content of SCFA (acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid) in their feces as well as the protein and mRNA expressions of GPR41, GPR43 and GPR109A in colonic tissues were detected. RESULTS Compared with the normal group, rats in the model group exhibited lethargy and obvious blood in their feces; the colonic tissue structure was severely damaged, with pathological changes such as notable glandular loss, edema, and inflammatory cell infiltration visible; the serum levels of pro- inflammatory cytokines, DAI score and colonic pathology score were significantly increased, while the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines, SCFA content, and protein and mRNA expressions of GPR41, GPR43 and GPR109A were significantly decreased or down-regulated (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the general condition and pathological changes of colonic tissue in each administration group showed improvement, with significant reversal observed in the aforementioned quantitative indicators (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Compound qinbai granules can alleviate intestinal inflammation and intestinal mucosal damage in UC rats. These effects may be related to its ability to restore intestinal SCFA levels and the expression of their target GPR.
