Objective:To evaluate efficacy of safflower polysaccharide in treatment of thymic atrophy induced by estradiol in mice.Methods:A total of 75 female ICR mice were divided into 5 groups:control group,model group,ubenimex group,SPS high dose group,SPS low dose group.Except for control group,each group was given intraperitoneal injection of estradiol benzoate every other day for 6 times.Treatment group began administration 24 h after the last parenteral administration,once a day for 10 days.Mice were sacrificed 24 hours after the last administration,and body weight,immune organ index,MDA and GST levels in plasma,periph-eral blood cells and T cells changes were observed,thymus tissue was stained by HE staining and TUNEL cell apoptosis staining,and thymus output capacity was detected.Results:Both high and low doses of safflower polysaccharide significantly improved thymus index(P<0.05)in mice,increased leukocytes level in peripheral blood(P<0.05),proportions of CD3+CD4+T,CD3+CD8+T cells(P<0.05)and CD4+T/CD8+T,improved thymus tissue damage.High dose of safflower polysaccharide could significantly reduce apoptosis in thymus tissue and enhance thymus output.Conclusion:Safflower polysaccharide has a certain therapeutic effect on estradiol-induced thymus atrophy in mice.

Aim To reveal the mechanism of cross-species ischemic heart failure from the perspective of spatial and gene co-expression networks.Methods GSE210374 and GSE57338 high-throughput sequencing datas were re-trieved from the national center for biotechnology information gene expression database(NCBI-GEO),and R language soft-ware packages was used to analyze and screen differentially expressed genes(DEG)in different myocardial regions of myo-cardial infarction rats,as well as DEG of myocardial samples from patients with ischemic heart failure and healthy controls,and the regional expression of common genes was analyzed.Weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA)was used to screen the genes related to myocardial infarction and to carry out enrichment analysis,protein-protein interac-tion network(PPI)was constructed to screen core genes(HG).Results A total of 4 835 differentially expressed genes were screened out in myocardial infarction rats and normal controls,and 51 differentially expressed genes were screened out in ischemic heart failure patients and normal control samples,which revealed representative gene sets in the left ventricular myocardial infarction area(I area),border area(BZ area),and remote area(R area)after myocardial in-farction.Spatial expression analysis revealed that there were 20 co-expressed genes in each myocardial region,16 of which were expressed in all three regions,the number of genes specifically expressed in I,BZ and R regions were 2,0 and 2,respectively.Enrichment analysis showed that the functions of co-expressed genes were different in different region.The I and BZ regions were related to collagen fiber assembly,stress-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,down-regulation of c-Jun amino terminal kinase(JNK signal)and cell proliferation,and complement signaling pathways;The I and R regions were enriched in the binding of Wnt and collagen;As a non-ischemic distal R region,the co-expressed genes were signifi-cantly enriched in the extracellular matrix for functions such as compressive resistance,cytolysis and inhibition of T cell proliferation.Furthermore,it was worth noting that the products of co-expressed genes in the three regions were mostly lo-cated in the extracellular space and extracellular matrix,suggesting that there may be active cellular secretion and interac-tion regulation.Further PPI analysis suggested that asporin(ASPN),osteoglycin(OGN)and collagentype ⅩⅥ alpha chain(COL14A1)gene might be the core genes of the mechanism mentioned above.Conclusions The common mechanism of ischemic heart failure in rats and human involves multiple signaling pathways such as complement and coagu-lation cascade signaling and Wnt;which may be closely related to cell apoptosis mediated by extracellular matrix and exo-somes;ASPN,OGN,and COL14A1 may be the core genes.This work is expected to provide spatial and pathway refer-ence for the selection of intervention targets and pathway in the transformation research related to ischemic heart failure.

Objective To understand the genotyping of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infected hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients in Yunnan Province, and to analyze the differences in viral load, biochemical indicators, and blood routine indicators among different genotypes, in order to provide a laboratory basis for the diagnosis and clinical treatment of HIV/HCV co-infected patients. Methods From November 2022 to June 2023, the serum samples and basic information of patients diagnosed with HIV/HCV co-infection were collected in the antiviral outpatient clinic of Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Infectious Diseases. The HCV viral load was detected by one-step qRT-PCR amplification, the positive samples were sequenced, and genotyping was determined based on NS5 gene sequence. The differences in biochemical and blood routine indexes between HIV patients co-infected with different HCV genotypes and low/high viral loads were analyzed. Results A total of 126 HIV/HCV co-infected patients were collected, including 20 HCV genotype 1 (15.9%), 91 HCV genotype 3 (72.2%), and 15 HCV genotype 6 (11.9%). The maximum and minimum viral load of the three HCV genotypes were as follows: HCV type 1 (1.0×108, 4.8×104 IU/mL), HCV type 3 (2.2×108, 2.9×102 IU/mL), and HCV type 6 (8.1×107, 6.8×104 IU/mL). The results showed that there was no significant difference between HIV co-infection with different genotypes of HCV and three HIV treatment schemes, including nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+integrase strand transfer inhibitors (NRTIs+INSTIs), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs+NNRTIs) and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+protease inhibitor (NRTIs+PLs), and the viral load of patients (P>0.05). The analysis of biochemical indexes such as total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CREA), and blood routine indexes such as white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), platelet (PLT), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) among different HCV genotypes and low/high viral loads showed that there was no significant difference in biochemical indexes and blood routine indexes between low/high viral loads of HIV co-infected HCV patients (P>0.05); however, the biochemical indicators TBIL, IBIL and MCHC were significantly different statistically between patients with genotype 3 HCV infection and those with genotype 1 HCV infection (P<0.05), while other biochemical and blood routine indexes were not statistically different among different HCV genotypes (P>0.05). Conclusions There are six subtypes of HCV co-infection in HIV patients in Kunming, Yunnan Province, including three genes of genotype 1, 3, and 6. Among them, genotype 3 HCV is the main prevalent genetic virus among HIV co-infected populations. The TBIL, IBIL and MCHC values of HIV patients co-infected with HCV type 3 are different from those infected with HCV type 1.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for basic analysis of the pharmacodynamic substance in Stahlianthus involucratus. METHODS Overall 24 SD male rats were randomly divided into blank group （purified water）， and administration group （ethanol extract of S. involucratus， 15.75 g/kg， calculated by crude drug）， with 12 rats in each group. They were given drug liquid/purified water intragastrically， twice a day， every 6-8 h， for consecutive 3 days. After medication， the blood， urine and fecal samples were collected from two groups of rats. UPLC-Q-Exactive-MS technology was used to identify the chemical constituents in the ethanol extract of S. involucratus， and metabolites in the blood， urine and fecal of rats after intragastrical administration of the ethanol extract of S. involucratus. Multivariate statistical analysis was employed to screen various serum metabolites. Metabolic pathways were analyzed by MetaboAnalyst 5.0 platform. RESULTS A total of 38 chemical constituents were identified from the ethanol extract of S. involucratus， including fourteen prototype components and three metabolites identified from 5 urine samples， nine prototype components identified from fecal samples， and ten prototype components and one metabolite identified from serum samples. A total of 71 differential metabolites were screened from two groups of rat serum samples， of which 44 differential metabolites， such as ferulic acid， glycyrrhizin， were up-regulated and 27 differential metabolites， such as arachidonic acid， phenylacetylglutamine， were down-regulated. The 71 differential metabolites were mainly enriched in 11 metabolic pathways， including phenylalanine metabolism， linoleic acid metabolism， arachidonic acid metabolism， and tryptophan metabolism. CONCLUSIONS Ferulic acid， liquiritigenin， isofraxidin and formononetin may be the material basis that directly exert pharmacological effects of S. involucratus. S. involucratus may exert anti-inflammatory effects by affecting metabolic pathways， including arachidonic acid metabolism and tryptophan metabolism.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of polymorphisms of solute carrier organic anion transporter family, member 1B3(SLCO1B3) gene on the pharmacodynamics of mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) in patients with lupus nephritis. METHODS Patients with lupus nephritis who were treated in Jieyang People’s Hospital from September 2019 to April 2021 were selected. All subjects were treated with MMF for at least 12 months, or discontinued due to poor efficacy. The efficacy of MMF was evaluated. The SLCO1B3 334T>G/699G>A(rs4149117/rs7311358) genotype was detected using Agena MassARRAY®, and the correlation between gene polymorphisms and MMF pharmacodynamics was analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software. RESULTS The genotype frequencies of SLCO1B3 334T>G/699G>A were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The probability of poor MMF treatment effect of 334GG/699AA carriers was significantly higher than that of 334TT/699AA and 334TG/699GA carriers(P<0.001); Logistic regression showed that both 334GG/699AA and urine protein>2.5 g·(24 h)−1 were the risk factors for poor MMF treatment[OR=4.038(1.731, 9.420), P<0.001; OR=4.157(1.705, 10.137), P=0.002]. Combined analysis showed that patients with both 334GG/699AA genotype and urine protein>2.5 g·(24 h)−1 were at higher risk for poor efficacy[OR=8.563(3.301, 22.216), P<0.001]. CONCLUSION SLCO1B3 334T>G/699G>A is related to the efficacy of MMF treating lupus nephritis, and 334GG/699AA carriers are more likely to result in poor efficacy.
