Objective To explore the incidence and risk factors of sarcopenia in non-dialysis patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods Non-dialysis stage 5 CKD patients in Jiading District Central Hospital Affiliated Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences from October 2023 to October 2024 were enrolled and divided into the non-sarcopenia group and the sarcopenia group according to lean tissue index (LTI) and handgrip strength (HGS). Demographic data of patients were collected and biochemical indicators were detected. Serum advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were detected by competitive ELISA. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the risk factors of sarcopenia in these patients. The diagnostic efficacy of the risk factors was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results A total of 102 non-dialysis stage 5 CKD patients with (68.52±7.39) years, were enrolled, including 61 male (59.8%). Among them, 24 were diagnosed with sarcopenia (23.5%). Compared with patients in non-sarcopenia group, patients in sarcopenia group were older and had higher interleukin-6 (IL-6) and AGEs, lower body mass index (BMI) and lower serum albumin (sAlb; P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that advanced age (OR=1.153, 95%CI 1.045–1.273, P=0.005), higher IL-6 (OR=1.165, 95%CI 1.042–1.302, P=0.007)、lower sAlb (OR=0.675, 95%CI 0.542–0.840, P=0.001), and higher serum AGEs (OR=1.105, 95%CI 1.013–1.206, P=0.024) were independent risk factors of sarcopenia in non-dialysis CKD 5 patients. The areas under the curve (AUC) for the age, IL-6, sAlb, and serum AGEs were 0.896, 0.643, 0.658, and 0.724, respectively. Conclusions Sarcopenia is common in non-dialysis stage 5 CKD patients, and the risk of sarcopenia is higher in non-dialysis stage 5 CKD patients with advanced age, higher IL-6, lower sAlb, and higher serum AGEs.

Objective To investigate the effects of asperuloside(ASP)on airway inflammation and the interleukin-6/Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(IL-6/JAK2/STAT3)signaling pathway in juvenile rats with bronchial asthma.Methods A juvenile rat model of bronchial asthma was constructed and randomly separated into a Model group,low,medium,and high dose asperuloside groups(ASP-L,ASP-M,ASP-H groups),and high-dose asperuloside+pathway activator group(ASP-H+CA1 group),with 12 rats in each group.An additional 12 healthy rats were included as Control group.All rats were evaluated for lung function.The number of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF),and the levels of inflammatory factors in BALF and serum were detected.HE staining was applied to observe the pathological morphology of lung tissue.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of proteins related to the IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.Results Compared with Control group,the lung tissue of rats in the Model group showed severe damage and higher levels of inflammatory cell infiltration,the PEF,Cdyn,and FEV/FVC indexes were greatly decreased,the numbers of inflammatory cells(WBC,EOS,NEU,LYM),levels of inflammatory factors(IL-1β,TNF-α,and IL-6)in BALF and serum,and the expression levels of signaling pathway proteins(IL-6,p-JAK2/JAK2,p-STAT3/STAT3)were obviously increased(P<0.05).Compared with the Model group,with the increase of ASP dosage,the degree of lung tissue damage and inflammatory cell infiltration of rats in the ASP-L,ASP-M,and ASP-H groups were significantly reduced,the PEF,Cdyn,and FEV/FVC indexes were gradually increased,the numbers of inflammatory cells(WBC,EOS,NEU,LYM),levels of inflammatory factors(IL-1β,TNF-α,and IL-6)in BALF and serum,and the expression levels of signaling pathway proteins(IL-6,p-JAK2/JAK2,p-STAT3/STAT3)were gradually decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the ASP-H group,the lung tissue of rats in the ASP-H+CA1 group showed severe damage,the infiltration of inflammatory cells increased,the PEF,Cdyn,and FEV/FVC indexes were decreased,the numbers of inflammatory cells(WBC,EOS,NEU,LYM),levels of inflammatory factors(IL-1β,TNF-α,and IL-6)in BALF and serum,and the expression levels of signaling pathway proteins(IL-6,p-JAK2/JAK2,p-STAT3/STAT3)were greatly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Asperuloside can improve lung tissue damage,reduce inflammation levels,and improve lung ventilation function in rats with bronchial asthma.Its effect may be related to the regulation of the IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

ObjectiveThe mechanisms underlying therapeutic efficacies of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster was analyzed based on "effect-target" associations. MethodBased on CNKI and PubMed databases, the chemical components of Artemisia seed, bastard speedwell, and menthol in Detumescence Analgesic Plaster were collected. The capacity of transdermal absorption was predicted based on the Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ETCM 2.0). Golden Triangle of compounds with Accepted used for candidate target prediction based on the Integrative Pharmacology-based Research Platform of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCMIP v2.0)according to the similarity of chemical structures. At the same time, the SoFDA data platform was employed to collect the symptoms related to the efficacy of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster and its related genes information. In addition, based on the interaction between the above-mentioned candidate targets and their efficacy-related genes, the "effect-target" interaction network of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster was constructed. The key targets by topological features calculation, and functional mining was carried out to explain the efficacy mechanism of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster. ResultA total of 165 candidate targets were obtained based on ETCM 2.0 and TCMIP v2.0 databases, and symptoms related to the efficacy of clearing heat, detumescence, and relieving pain, as well as 1 744 related genes were collected based on the SoFDA database. Network construction and analysis showed that the core effect targets of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster were mainly involved in regulating the "immune-inflammation" balance of the body and maintaining the homeostasis of material and energy metabolism, blood circulation, and nervous system functions, and they were closely related to the efficacy of this prescription in clearing heat, reducing detumescence, and relieving pain. Among them, the heat clearing group of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster had the functions of heat clearing, detoxifying, antibacteria, and anti-inflammation. The biological function of its key effect target group was related to correcting the imbalance of "immune-inflammation" induced by pathogens. The detumescence group of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster had the functions of reducing water and swelling and resolving hard lumps, and the biological function of its core effect target group was related to improving microcirculation disturbance. The pain relieving group of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster had the functions of removing stasis, promoting blood circulation, and relieving pain, and its core effect target group was related to correcting the nervous system and the disorder of material and energy metabolism. ConclusionThe heat clearing, swelling reducing, and pain relieving effects of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster may be closely related to its act on related candidate targets, so as to correct the imbalance of "nerve-immunity-vascular-axis", regulate neuronal excitability and inflammatory response, and intervene in material and energy metabolism. The relevant research results lay a theoretical foundation for clarifying the advantages of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster and assisting its clinical precise positioning.
