ObjectiveTo investigate the role and mechanism of action of Yinchenhao Decoction in inhibiting ferroptosis of hepatocytes in mice with autoimmune hepatitis. MethodsA total of 18 specific pathogen-free female C57BL/6 mice were selected and divided into normal group， model group， and treatment group using a random number table， with 6 mice in each group. The mice in the model group and the treatment group were injected with concanavalin A （Con A） via the caudal vein to establish a mouse model of autoimmune hepatitis， and those in the normal group were injected with normal saline. The mice in the treatment group were given prophylactic treatment with Yinchenhao Decoction （4.68 g crude drug/kg） by gavage at 14 days before modeling， and Con A was injected after the last gavage. The levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， interferon gamma （IFN-γ）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， iron ion， glutathione （GSH）， reactive oxygen species （ROS）， adenosine triphosphate （ATP）， and malondialdehyde （MDA） were measured； liver index and spleen index were calculated； the expression levels of GPX4 and SLC7A11 were measured； liver histopathological changes were compared between groups. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between three groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group had significant increases in liver index， spleen index， ALT， AST， IFN-γ， TNF-α， iron ion， ROS and MDA （all P<0.05） and significant reductions in the content of GSH and ATP and the protein expression levels of GPX4 and SLC7A11 （all P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the treatment group had significant reductions in liver index， spleen index， ALT， AST， IFN-γ， TNF-α， iron ion， ROS and MDA （all P<0.05） and significant increases in the content of GSH and ATP and the protein expression levels of GPX4 and SLC7A11 （all P<0.05）. HE staining showed that compared with the normal group， the model group showed massive hepatocyte degeneration and necrosis and inflammatory cell aggregation at the portal area， and compared with the model group， the treatment group had alleviation of liver necrosis and inflammatory infiltration. ConclusionLiver injury induced by Con A may be associated with ferroptosis. Yinchenhao Decoction can increase the protein expression levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 protein and thus inhibit ferroptosis of hepatocytes induced by Con A.

Objective To explore the influence of different factors on the safe screw placement of the ulnar coronoid process based on the DR imaging measurement of the ulnar coronoid process.Methods During the period from July 2020 to November 2021,102 normal adult elbow joint DR films were randomly included from Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Standard elbow joint DR films were selected as the measurement objects,with the apex of the coronoid process as the vertex and two straight lines parallel to the elbow joint space along both sides of the coronoid process.The length of the line segment from the apex of the coronoid process to the intersection of the radius and ulnar cortex of the ulna was the safe distance to place the nail on the coronal surface of the ulna coronoid process;The standard lateral DR film of the elbow joint was selected as the measurement image,and the apex of the coronoid process was used as a point to draw out two safety lines intersecting with the ulnar cortex at the proximal and distal ends.The length of the safety lines at the proximal and distal ends of the coronoid process was the safe nail placement distance on the sagittal plane of the ulnar coronoid process.The differences in safe nail placement distance between different genders,left and right sides,were compared and the correlation between safe nail placement distances on different cross-sections was analyzed.Results There was a statistically significant difference in the safe placement distance of the ulnar coronoid process between males and females(P＜0.05);On the coronal plane,there was a correlation between the safe nail placement distance on the radial and ulnar sides in males;On the sagittal plane(P＜0.05),there was a correlation between the safe placement distance of the ulnar coronoid process in women's proximal and distal ends(P＜0.05).Conclusion Studying the safe screw placement distance of the ulnar coronoid process is beneficial to guide the clinical placement of screws for coronoid process fractures,the design of new steel plates,and the correction of deformity.

Alkali-salinity exerts severe osmotic, ionic, and high-pH stresses to plants. To under-stand the alkali-salinity responsive mechanisms underlying photosynthetic modulation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis, physiological and diverse quantitative proteomics analyses of alkaligrass (Puccinellia tenuiflora) under Na2CO3 stress were conducted. In addition, Western blot,real-time PCR, and transgenic techniques were applied to validate the proteomic results and test the functions of the Na2CO3-responsive proteins. A total of 104 and 102 Na2CO3-responsive proteins were identified in leaves and chloroplasts, respectively. In addition, 84 Na2CO3-responsive phospho-proteins were identified, including 56 new phosphorylation sites in 56 phosphoproteins from chloro-plasts, which are crucial for the regulation of photosynthesis, ion transport, signal transduction, and energy homeostasis. A full-length PtFBA encoding an alkaligrass chloroplastic fructose-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) was overexpressed in wild-type cells of cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. Strain PCC 6803, leading to enhanced Na2CO3 tolerance. All these results indicate that thermal dissipation, state transition, cyclic electron transport, photorespiration, repair of pho-tosystem (PS) Ⅱ, PSI activity, and ROS homeostasis were altered in response to Na2CO3 stress, which help to improve our understanding of the Na2CO3-responsive mechanisms in halophytes.
