ObjectiveTo establish a model of dry eye with lung Yin deficiency syndrome in mice. MethodsA total of 40 SPF C57BL/6J mice were assigned via the random number table method into 5 groups (n=8): Normal control, model control, and high-, medium-, and low-dose (11.7, 5.85, and 2.925 g·kg-1, respectively) Yangyin Qingfeitang. Mice in the normal control group were fed normally without any intervention. Mice in Yangyin Qingfeitang group and model control group were treated with 0.2% benzalkonium chloride eye drops (5 μL) twice a day and fed in a controlled drying system in a dry environment for 28 days. At the same time, the mice were administrated with thyroxine tablet solution by gavage and placed in a glass fumigation tank (SO2 concentration: 0.5 g·m-3) for 14 days. After 4 weeks, mice in Yangyin Qingfeitang groups were treated with Yangyin Qingfeitang by gavage and those in the normal control group and model control group were administrated with deionized water at 0.01 mL·g-1. The body mass, anal temperature, four examination information (claw and nail appearance), basic tear secretion test, tear film rupture time, corneal fluorescein staining, and lacrimal gland HE staining were compared among groups. Compound Yangyin Qingfeitang granules were used to measure the syndrome to verify the success of modeling. ResultsAfter 28 days of continuous modeling, compared with the normal control group, the model group exhibited listless and emaciated status, coughing, drowsiness, dry and dull hair, dry and hard stool, reduced food intake and water intake, red lip circumference, red tongue with reduced fluid, dry nose and teeth, red claws and nails, body mass gain, decreased anal mild tear secretion (P<0.05), and shortened tear film rupture time (P<0.05). After 28 days of modeling, the mice showed large corneal fluorescein staining range, severe corneal injury, and increased content of interleukin (IL)-18, IL-β, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in lacrimal gland, compared with those in the normal control group (P<0.05). After the treatment with Yangyin Qingfeitang, the mice had good drinking and eating conditions, with lighter redness of the tongue, moist nose, moist and shiny teeth, and the claw and nail color close to that in the normal group. Compared with the model control group, Yangyin Qingfeitang groups showed increases in body mass and anal temperature (P<0.05), tear secretion (P<0.05), and tear film rupture time (P<0.05), narrowed range of corneal fluorescein staining, and declined levels of IL-18, IL-β, and TNF-α in lacrimal glands (P<0.01). The high-dose group had the best effect, with the indicators close to the levels in the normal control group. ConclusionThe animal model of dry eye with lung Yin deficiency syndrome can be established by culture in a controlled drying system, treatment with benzalkonium chloride eye drops for 28 days, and administration of thyroxine tablet solution combined with SO2 fumigation for 14 days.

Endothelial dysfunction induced by inflammation and oxidative stress represents a critical pathological mechanism in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, including sepsis and atherosclerosis. Although crebanine has been reported to possess antiinflammatory and analgesic properties, its effects on inflammation and oxidative stress in endothelial cells remain unknown. In this study, we assessed cell viability, apoptosis, and migration using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, and a wound healing assay, respectively. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the expression of inflammatory and oxidative stress markers were determined by qRT-PCR, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Western blotting analysis. Our results demonstrated that crebanine alleviated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced apoptosis and dysfunction in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Crebanine treatment inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β), ROS, and malondialdehyde (MDA), while it enhanced the activity of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD). Mechanistically, crebanine suppressed LPS-induced activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway in HUVECs. Furthermore, the improvement effect of crebanine on the inflammation and dysfunction in LPS-treated HUVECs was reversed by diprovocim, an NF-κB activator.These findings suggest that crebanine ameliorates LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in HUVECs by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway, indicating its potential therapeutic value for treating vascular endothelial dysfunction-related diseases.

Objective:
To explore the impacts of coal mine dust on lung function in rats, so as to provide the basis for the early prevention and treatment of coal worker's pneumoconiosis.
Methods:
Seventy-two SPF-grade 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the coal dust group, the coal-silica dust group, the silica dust group and the control group. The rats in the first three groups of rats were administered 1 mL corresponding dust suspension into the lungs using non-exposure tracheal instillation, while the rats in the control group were administered 1 mL normal saline. Respiratory rate (f), forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF) and dynamic pulmonary compliance (Cdyn) were measured at 1, 3 and 6 months after dust exposure. Lung tissues were collected to measure reactive oxygen species (ROS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels using corresponding ELISA kits and ATP assay kits, respectively. The relative mRNA expressions of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) were detected using real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. The relative protein expressions of PGC-1α and TFAM were detected using Western blotting.
Results:
There was no interaction between dust type and exposure duration on f (P>0.05), but there were interactions on FVC, PEF and Cdyn (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group at 6 months after dust exposure, the f of the rats in the silica dust group were increased, while the FVC and PEF of the rats in the coal-silica dust and silica dust groups were decreased, and Cdyn of the rats in the coal dust, coal-silica dust and silica dust groups were decreased (all P<0.05). There were interactions between dust type and exposure duration on ROS and ATP levels, the relative mRNA and protein expressions of PGC-1α and TFAM (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group at 3 and 6 months after dust exposure, the ROS levels in the rats in the coal dust, coal-silica dust and silica dust groups were increased, while the ATP levels, the relative mRNA and protein expressions of PGC-1α and TFAM were decreased (all P<0.05).
Conclusion
The lung function impairment in rats caused by different types of coal mine dust is related to PGC-1α-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis dysfunction, which leads to increased ROS levels, decreased ATP and TFAM levels.
