AIM:To explore the effects of CD38 on lysosome reformation and cholesterol efflux in macro-phages.METHODS:Bone marrow-derived macrophages from low-density lipoprotein(LDL)receptor knockout(LDLr-/-)mice were cultured as cell model.Live cell imaging system was applied to evaluate the effect of nicotinic acid adenine di-nucleotide phosphate(NAADP)on lysosome number.ELISA was conducted to measure NAADP level in macrophages.After the cells were treated with nicotinic acid(NA),RT-qPCR was conducted to detect CD38 mRNA expression,and Western blot was conducted to observe CD38 protein expression and phosphorylated transcription factor EB(TFEB)level.Laser scanning confocal microscopy was applied to evaluate the influence of CD38/NAADP signaling on lysosome number and cholesterol egression.RESULTS:NAADP remarkably increased lysosome number(P<0.05),and this effect was significantly inhibited by NAADP antagonist NED-19,Ca2+ chelator BAPTA,and calcineurin inhibitor CsA(P<0.05).CD38 markedly enhanced NAADP synthesis in macrophages(P<0.05).NAADP synthetic substrate NA prominently ele-vated the expression of CD38 mRNA and protein(P<0.05).NA significantly decreased the phosphorylated TFEB level;this effect was also attenuated by NED-19,BAPTA and CsA(P<0.05).Disrupting CD38/NAADP signaling pathway markedly inhibited NA-induced enhancement of lysosome number,lysosomal free cholesterol and cytosol cholesterol ester efflux in macrophages(P<0.05).NA-induced enhancement of lysosome number,lysosomal free cholesterol and cytosol cholesterol ester efflux abolished in LDLr/CD38 DKO macrophages(P<0.05),whereas these effects induced by NA were recovered after CD38 gene rescue.CONCLUSION:CD38 triggers lysosome reformation via TFEB and consequently pro-motes the efflux of lysosomal free cholesterol and cytosol cholesterol ester.

Objective To explore the clinical effectiveness of emergency upper gastrointestinal bleeding channel for patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding(AUGIB)by the inverse probability of treatment weighted(IPTW)method.Methods A retrospective study method was used.The clinical information was collected on 299 AUGIB patients who belonged to the First People's Hospital of Guiyang,where they were admitted from January 2018 to December 2021.AUGIB patients admitted before the establishment of emergency treatment channel(from January 2018 to December 2019)were selected as the routinel group(152 cases),while AUGIB patients admitted after the establishment of emergency treatment channel(from January 2020 to December 2021)were selected as the channel group(147 cases).IPTW was used to balance multiple confounding variables[gender,age,history of previous underlying diseases,history of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSAID)administration,personal history,Glasgow-Blatchford score(GBS),different bleeding etiologies,etc.],a consistent distribution of confounding variables among the groups was achieved after IPTW treatment.The difference of clinical treatment effects between the routine group and the channel group was performed,including time to hemostasis,recurrent bleeding rate,volume of blood transfusions,length of hospital stay,hospitalization cost,intensive care unit(ICU)transfer rate,and mortality etc.were compared.Results After IPTW,the confounding variables were well-balanced between groups.The time to hemostasis[hours:7.90(5.36,11.42)vs.9.92(6.25,18.15)],recurrent bleeding rate[23.1%(34/147)vs.40.1%(61/152)],length of hospital stay[days:8.00(7.00,10.34)vs.9.00(7.00,13.00)],ICU transfer rate[8.8%(13/147)vs.17.7%(27/152)],and mortality[0.7%(1/147)vs.4.5%(7/152)]in channel group were significantly lower than those in the routine group(all P<0.05).There were no significant difference in transfusions volume and hospital cost between channel group and routine group[transfusions volume(U):2(0,4)vs.2(0,4),hospitalization cost(ten thousand yuan):1.35(1.03,2.00)vs.1.16(0.71,2.29),both P>0.05].Conclusion The emergency treatment channel can reduce the recurrent bleeding rate,ICU transfer rate,and mortality rate,shorten the time of hemostasis and length of hospital stay,and has a good treatment effect.

Numerous randomised controlled trials have suggested the positive effects of acupuncture on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the underlying therapeutic mechanisms of acupuncture for COPD have not been clearly summarized yet. Inflammation is central to the development of COPD. In this review, we elucidate the effects and underlying mechanisms of acupuncture from an anti-inflammatory perspective based on animal studies. Cigarette smoke combined with lipopolysaccharide is often used to establish animal models of COPD. Electroacupuncture can be an effective intervention to improve inflammation in COPD, and Feishu (BL13) and Zusanli (ST36) can be used as basic acupoints in COPD animal models. Different acupuncture types can regulate different types of inflammatory cytokines; meanwhile, different acupuncture types and acupoint options have similar effects on modulating the level of inflammatory cytokines. In particular, acupuncture exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the release of inflammatory cells, inflammasomes and inflammatory cytokines. The main underlying mechanism through which acupuncture improves inflammation in COPD is the modulation of relevant signalling pathways: nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) (e.g., myeloid differentiation primary response 88/NF-κB, toll-like receptor-4/NF-κB, silent information regulator transcript-1/NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling pathways (extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, p38 and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase), cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, and dopamine D2 receptor pathway. The current synthesis will be beneficial for further research on the effect of acupuncture on COPD inflammation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effects of total saponins from Panax notognseng (PNS) combined with cyclophosphamide (CTX) in mice bearing hepatocellular carcinoma H₂₂ cell xenograft. METHODS: We examined the effects of treatment with different concentrations of PNS on H₂₂ cell proliferation for 24 to 72 h in vitro using CCK8 colorimetric assay. Annexin V/PI double fluorescence staining was used to detect the effect of PNS on apoptosis of H₂₂ cells. Mouse models bearing H₂₂ cell xenograft were established and treated with CTX (25 mg/kg), PNS (120, 240 or 480 mg/kg), alone or in combinations. After treatments for consecutive 10 days, the mice were euthanized for examinations of carbon clearance ability of the monocytes and macrophages, splenic lymphocyte proliferation, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin-2 (IL-2), serum hemolysin antibody level, blood indicators, and the tumor inhibition rate. RESULTS: Treatment with PNS concentration-dependently inhibited the proliferation and significantly promoted apoptosis of cultured H₂₂ cells (P < 0.01). In the tumor-bearing mouse models, PNS alone and its combination with CTX both resulted in obvious enhancement of phagocytosis of the monocyte-macrophages, stimulated the proliferation of splenic lymphocytes, promoted the release of TNF-α and IL-2 and the production of serum hemolysin antibody, and increased the number of white blood cells, red blood cells and lymphocytes in the peripheral blood. Treatment with 480 mg/kg PNS combined with CTX resulted in a tumor inhibition rate of 83.28% (P < 0.01) and a life prolonging rate of 131.25% in the mouse models (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION PNS alone or in combination with CTX can improve the immunity and tumor inhibition rate and prolong the survival time of H₂₂ tumor-bearing mice.

Aim To use microdialysis technology combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS) technology to study the effect of Achyranthes bidentata saponins (ABS) on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its mechanisms. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into adjuvant arthritis (AA) model group, blank control group and ABS administration group. AA rat model was induced by Freund's complete adjuvant. UPLC-Q-TOF/MS was used to collect joint cavity microdialysis fluid sample information of each group of rats. Results On 6th day after administration of ABS, an inhibitory effect on the paw swelling, improved the arthritis score (P < 0. 05), and better the pathological morphology of the synovial tissues were found in AA rats. Nineteen potential biomarkers were discovered and identified. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that they mainly involved purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis and steroid hormone biosynthesis pathway. Conclusions Microdialysis combined with metabolomics can reveal the metabolic mechanism of ABS intervention on RA, laying a foundation for further study of the mechanism of ABS.
