Objective:To investigate the protective effect of myrislignan(MRL)on concanavalin A(Con A)-induced autoimmune hepatitis(AIH).Methods:C57BL/6J mice were divided into the following groups using a random number table,with five mice in each group:control group,MRL group,model group(Con A group),and MRL pretreatment group(MRL+Con A group). MRL was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 30 μg/g;3 h after pretreatment,Con A(18 μg/g)was administrated by intravenous injection;mouse livers and serum samples were collected 12 h after injection for measuring serum transaminase levels and liver cell apoptosis. The mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-6,IL-12,and TNF-α were measured using qRT-PCR and ELISA. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the proportion and activation status of macrophages in liver tissues. Bone marrow-derived macrophages(BMDMs)were isolated and induced in vitro to analyze the regulatory effect of MRL on macrophages. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the differences in various indicators among groups. Results:Compared with the Con A group,MRL(30 μg/g)pretreatment significantly reduced alanine aminotransferase( P<0.05)and aspartate transaminase( P<0.01)levels,attenuated liver oxidative stress(increased superoxide dismutase activity,while decreased levels of malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase;all P<0.05),and suppressed hepatocyte apoptosis( P<0.01). Both in vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed that MRL(30 μg/g)could reduce the proportion of M1 macrophages( in vivo: P<0.05; in vitro:all P<0.001)and inhibit macrophage activation( in vivo: P<0.01; in vitro:all P<0.05). Conclusion:MRL effectively prevents Con A-induced autoimmune hepatitis by inhibiting liver cell apoptosis,attenuating liver oxidative stress,suppressing M1 macrophage polarization,and reducing inflammatory cytokine expression.

Objective:To investigate the effects of IL-28B in a mouse model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis and to analyze the possible mechanism.Methods:Thirty-five male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the following groups with seven mice in each group: control group, DSS group and three IL-28B groups (1.25 μg, 2.5 μg and 5 μg). The mice in the DSS group and IL-28B groups were fed with 2.5% DSS solution and from day 3, the IL-28B groups were given intraperitoneal injection of corresponding IL-28B every day and the DSS group was treated with PBS. During the experiment, the disease activity index (DAI) was evaluated daily. On day 8, the mice were sacrificed and peripheral blood, spleen, mesenteric lymph node and colon samples were collected. The colon samples were observed, measured in length and stained with HE, and histopathological scores were calculated based on HE staining. Changes of immune cells in different samples were detected by flow cytometry. ELISA was used to detect the expression of IL-12, IL-10, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-4 and IL-13 in serum and colon tissues.Results:Compared with the DSS group, the IL-28B group (2.5 μg) had lower DAI scores [(9.40±1.67) vs (3.50±1.73), P<0.01], less shortening of the colon [(5.16±0.61) cm vs (6.91±0.60) cm, P<0.01] and significantly lower histopathological scores [(7.33±0.58) vs (4.33±0.58), P<0.01]. Moreover, compared with the DSS group, the IL-28B group (2.5 μg) showed decreased macrophages in the peripheral blood [(21.39±3.21)% vs (15.63±2.98)%, P<0.05] and spleen [(3.03±0.28)% vs (2.05±0.48)%, P<0.05], and significantly increased mean fluorescence intensity of M2 macrophages in the colon [(1 361.00±293.40) vs (2 074.00±87.61), P<0.05]. IL-12 expression in colon tissues and IL-1β expression in serum were reduced, and IL-10, IL-4 and IL-13 expression in colon tissues was significantly increased in the IL-28B group (2.5 μg) as compared with those in the DSS group [IL-12: (31.72±6.92) pg/mg vs (5.41±3.41) pg/mg; IL-1β: (48.01±16.13) pg/ml vs (12.27±6.26) pg/ml; IL-10: (184.70±46.82) pg/mg vs (444.30±157.80) pg/mg; IL-4: (2.23±0.27) pg/mg vs (3.64±0.80) pg/mg; IL-13: (11.79±0.99) pg/mg vs (22.59±1.92) pg/mg; all P<0.05]. Conclusions:IL-28B might alleviate the severity of acute enteritis in mice by increasing the secretion of IL-4 and IL-13, regulating macrophage differentiation and modulating the expression of inflammatory factors.

Objective To investigate and analyze the incidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and related cirrhosis in a certain area. Methods A retrospective investigation was performed on 365 patients with HBV infection in a certain area from October 2018 to October 2020. The relevant data of the patients and the incidence of HBV infection-related cirrhosis were analyzed to explore the influencing factors for liver cirrhosis caused by HBV infection. Results The age of patients with HBV infection was mainly 31-50 years old (61.92%), who were mainly males (80.00%). The symptoms included yellow urine (66.30%), loss of appetitte (57.53%) and fatigue (46.85%). There was abnormal increase of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase, and hyperbilirubinemia in patients. 35 patients developed liver failure, of whcih 31 patients survived and were discharged, 3 patients underwent liver transplantation and 1 patient died after discharge. Among the 365 patients, there were 82 cases with HBV-related cirrhosis, mainly aged between 31 and 50 years old (63.41%), who were mainly males (80.00%). The main symptoms included abdominal distension (46.34%), liver palm (39.02%) and jaundice (34.15%), and all were accompanied with abnormal liver function indexes. Of the 365 patients, 35.37% of them were complicated with primary peritonitis, and 25.61% with electrolyte imbalance. In addition, 87.80% of the patients improved and were discharged. The incidence rates of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy and death were 7.32%, 3.66% and 1.22%, respectively. The results of univariate and multivariate analysis showed that drinking history, HBV-DNA level and exercise were the influencing factors of HBV-related cirrhosis (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with HBV infection and related cirrhosis are mostly middle-aged men. Drinking history, HBV-DNA level and exercise are important influencing factors for HBV infection progression to cirrhosis.
