Objective:To investigate the preventive and therapeutic effects and mechanisms of Dachaihu decoction(DCD)on dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis(UC)and liver injury in mice,as well as the association between DCD benefits and gut microbiota modulation.Methods:Mice were treated with DCD(20.10 and 10.05 g/kg)for 2 weeks,with free access to drinking water containing 3%DSS in the second week to induce UC.Histopathological examination,RT-qPCR and 16S rRNA sequencing were used to investigate the effect of DCD on UC mice.Results:DCD pretreatment significantly alleviated weight loss,bloody diarrhea with mucus,histopathological abnormalities of the colon,and colon shortening in mice with DSS-induced UC.In addition,DCD pretreat-ment significantly upregulated the levels of Occludin,ZO-1,and MUC-2 in the colon and protected the intestinal barrier of mice.DCD pretreatment also alleviated inflammatory cell infiltration in the colon and the liver and significantly reduced the expression levels of the proinflammatory factors such as IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,iNOS,COX-2,and NLRP3,thereby exerting a protective effect against UC and liver injury.It should be noted that DCD corrected gut micro-biota imbalance in UC mice by enriching probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and reducing harmful bacteria such as Norank_f_Desulfovibrionaceae and Escherichia-Shigella.Conclusion:DCD can alleviate DSS-induced UC and exert a liver-protecting effect by protecting intestinal barrier,inhibiting inflam-mation,and regulating gut microbiota.

BACKGROUND:Subdermal contraceptive implants as a novel contraceptive method have been extensively used worldwide.OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress in the non-biodegradable and biodegradable long-term subdermal contraceptive implants and to explore their advantages and disadvantages.METHODS:A computer-based search of CNKI,Wanfang,and PubMed (1967-2015) was performed by the first author for relevant articles,using the key words of contraceptive implants,non-biodegradable,biodegradable in Chinese and English,respectively.Initially 240 articles were retrieved,and finally 70 articles were included in result analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Long-term subdermal contraceptive implants that pass through the local capillaries into the blood circulation system can avoid the gastrointestinal absorption,improve the bioavailability of drugs,and reduce adverse drug reactions.According to the performance,there are two kinds of drug carriers,non-biodegradable and biodegradable.Although non-biodegradable implants have been widely used and the contraceptive effect is excellent,the implants must be removed surgically because they cannot be absorbed or metabolized in the body.Significant efforts have been devoted to developing biodegradable implants because they can degrade at the end of use.However,the utility of some biodegradable polymers as drug carriers in implantable applications has been hampered by their shortcomings,and further study on alternative materials is urgently required.

Objective To evaluate the effect of FOCUS- PDCA model in hypoglycemia management during hemodialysis in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Methods Totally 107 patients with diabetic nephropathy were divided into two groups. Patients in the control group received traditional hypoglycemia management, while FOCUS- PDCA model was implemented in the experimental group in hypoglycemia management, including reducing insulin dosage before hemodialysis,injecting 50%glucose and taking hyperglycemia food during hemodialysis,enhancing the monitoring of blood glucose and health education. Compared the incidence of blood glucose levels and hypoglycemia in two groups of patients at different time of dialysis. Results The frequency of hypoglycemia in the experimental group at the beginning of dialysis [ (9.04±2.08) mmol/L ], 2 hours after dialysis[ (5.78±1.82) mmol/L ]and at the end of dialysis[ (6.94±2.04) mmol/L ] were significantly lower than that in the control group[ (8.60±2.02) mmol/L, (5.20±1.62) mmol/L, (4.97±1.05) mmol/L ], (P <0.05), and the total incidence rate of hypoglycemia was 1.6%(61/3 889), which significantly lower than that 4.8%(185/3 816) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.288, P < 0.05). Conclusions The application of FOCUS- PDCA model in the hypog1ycemia management of patients with diabetic nephropathy can reduced the incidence of hypoglycemia during hemodialysis. It deserves to be widely used in clinical practice to improve the patients′quality of life.

BACKGROUND:Currently, biodegradable polymer materials such as poly(morpholine-2, 5-dione) and its derivatives have been widely used in biomedical field to fabricate nerve catheters, tissue engineering and drug control release carriers. Therefore, many research has focused on the synthesis of poly(morpholine-2 5-dione) and its derivatives.
OBJECTIVE:To review the synthesis methods of monomeric and polymeric morpholine-2, 5-dione and its derivatives, and to explore its advantages and shortcomings. METHODS:A computer-based search of databases of Wanfang, CNKI, SCI and PubMed was performed for relevant articles published from 1982 to 2015. And the keywords were“morpholine-2, 5-dion, biodegradable”in Chinese and English, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:So far, acylation reactions ofα-amino acids andα-halogen halide, the intramolecular esterifications and intramolecular condensation reactions are the key methods for the synthesis of morpholine-2, 5-dione and its derivatives. A modified approach is needed to overcome the existed disadvantages. Ring-opening polymerization of morpholine-2, 5-dione is a preferred method of synthetic polyester-amide, but low molecular weight and conversion of polymers are produced. Polymerization catalyzed via metal compounds and enzymes are the best strategy for the synthesis of poly(morpholine-2, 5-dione). Furthermore, as a valuable biodegradable polymer material, poly(morpholine-2, 5-dione) has been extensively applied in the medical field.

Functional dyspepsia( FD)is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder,its pathogenesis has not been fully clarified. Recent studies showed that gastrointestinal mucosal low-grade inflammation had been found in patients with FD,and impaired mucosal integrity,psychological factor and abnormal brain-gut axis may promote the inflammation formation,which may also contribute to the onset and persistence of FD. This article reviewed the advances in study on gastrointestinal mucosal low-grade inflammation in FD.
