BACKGROUND:It has been found that abnormal apoptosis of bone tissue cells induced by abnormal iron metabolism plays an important role in the progression of osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of naringin on iron metabolism and cell apoptosis in bone tissue of rats with osteoporosis. METHODS:Fifty 2-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups with 10 rats in each group:sham group,osteoporosis group,naringin low-dose group,naringin high-dose group,and naringin high-dose+DKK-1 group.Except for the sham group,rat models of osteoporosis were established by removing bilateral ovarian tissues in the other groups.At 8 weeks after modeling,rats in the naringin low-and high-dose groups were given 100 and 400 mg/kg/d naringenin by gavage,respectively,and rats in the naringenin high dose+DKK-1 group were given 400 mg/kg/d naringin by gavage and subcutaneous injection of 25 mg/kg/d DKK-1,an inhibitor of the Wnt1 signaling pathway,for 7 consecutive days.Relevant indexes were detected after administration. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin could enhance the bone mineral density and serum calcium and superoxide dismutase levels in rats(P<0.05),and reduce the serum levels of osteocalcin,malondialdehyde,and phosphorus(P<0.05),while DKK-1 could partially inhibit the interventional effect of naringin(P<0.05).Results from Micro-CT scanning,hematoxylin-eosin and TUNEL staining showed that compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin significantly improved bone microstructure and reduced the rate of cell apoptosis,while DKK-1 partially inhibited the interventional effect of naringin.Immunofluorescence staining results showed that compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin could reduce the oxygen content,anti-tartaric acid phosphatase expression,and elevate the expression of alkaline phosphatase in active tibia tissues(P<0.05),while DKK-1 could partially inhibit the interventional effect of naringin(P<0.05).Results from Prussian blue staining and immunohistochemical staining showed that compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin reduced iron deposition in bone and liver tissues as well as the expression of transferrin receptor 1(P<0.05),and elevated the protein expression of ferroportin 1(P<0.05)in bone tissue,and DKK-1 partially inhibited the intervention of naringin(P<0.05).PCR and western blot assay of tibia specimens showed that compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin decreased the expression of anti-tartrate acid phosphatase,transferrin receptor 1 and Bax(P<0.05),and elevated the expression of alkaline phosphatase,ferroportin 1,Bcl-2,Wnt1 and β-catenin(P<0.05),while DKK-1 partially inhibited the interfering effect of naringin(P<0.05).To conclude,naringin inhibits the progression of osteoporosis by reducing iron deposition and apoptosis rate in bone tissue,which may be related to the activation of the Wnt1 signaling pathway.

The study was a prospective observational study. A total of 24 patients who underwent maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) at Haidian Hospital in Beijing from May 2024 to June 2024 were included as the study subjects. The safety and efficacy of a new single-needle dialysis in MHD patients were evaluated. The reasons for using single-needle dialysis included waiting for the maturity of internal fistula(7 cases, 29.17%), autogenous arteriovenous fistula thrombosis occurred (6 cases, 25.00%), puncture difficulty occurred (7 cases, 29.17%), and pain sensitivity or elderly (4 cases, 16.67%). The results showed that the average blood flow was (155.65±5.90) ml/min, total blood volume was (35.92±2.65) L during single-needle dialysis. One patient had slight puncture leakage, and the puncture success rate was 95.83%. Relevant indicators of dialysis adequacy showed that the average urea clearance (Kt/V) was 0.90±0.42, urea reduction ratio was 58.31%±7.93%, and online real-time Kt/V monitoring average value was 0.98±0.55. The results suggest that the application of the new improved single-needle dialysis mode in MHD patients is safe and effective.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of hypomagnesemia in elderly patients with sepsis and the influence of hypomagnesemia on the prognosis of elderly patients with sepsis.Methods:In this retrospective study, 249 elderly patients with sepsis or septic shock were recruited between January 2018 and January 2021 from the Department of Geriatrics and the Department of Emergency Medicine, General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, and relevant clinical data were collected.The Logistic regression analysis model was used to identify the relationship between risk factors and hypomagnesemia in patients with sepsis.The prognosis criteria such as hospitalization time in intensive care unit(ICU), 28-day mortality rate, mechanical ventilation time, double infection rate, shock reversal time, etc., were compared between the hypomagnesemia group and the normal magnesium group.Results:Among the 249 elderly patients with sepsis, 187 had normal blood magnesium, 43 had low blood magnesium and 19 had high blood magnesium, accounting for 75.10%, 17.27% and 7.63%, respectively.Compared with the normal blood magnesium group, elderly sepsis patients with hypomagnesemia had a longer hospitalization time in ICU[(16.21±3.68)d vs.(13.86±3.58)d, t=-4.845, P=0.036], and a significantly prolonged mechanical ventilation time[11(3, 18)d vs.3(1, 6)d, Z=-1.782, P=0.033]. There was no significant difference in mortality and double infection rate between the two groups(both P>0.05). The sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)score of elderly sepsis patients in the low magnesium group was significantly higher than that in the normal magnesium group[(5.69±1.28)scores vs.(3.09±0.68)scores, t=-0.322, P=0.008], but there was no significant difference in acute physiology and chronic health evaluation(APACHE) Ⅱ score between the two groups( P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that high SOFA score( OR=1.111, 95% CI: 1.025-1.758, P=0.001)was an independent risk factor for hypomagnesemia. Conclusions:A high SOFA score is an independent risk factor for hypomagnesemia in elderly sepsis patients, and the clinical prognosis of elderly sepsis patients with hypomagnesemia is poor.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between mild cognitive impairment(MCI)and abnormal glucose metabolism and thus to provide a basis for MCI prevention.Methods:A total of 1 074 elderly outpatients with normal cognitive function and without confirmed diabetes mellitus, hyperlipoidemia or gout were enrolled.During a five-year follow-up period, 121 subjects were diagnosed with MCI based on the mini mental state examination(MMSE)and the Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA). Furthermore, annual blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin monitoring was carried out to examine the long-term effects of abnormal glucose metabolism on MCI risk.Results:According to cognitive function, 1 074 subjects were divided into the MCI group and the non-MCI group.Compared with the non-MCI group, the mean values of fasting blood glucose(FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c), triglycerides(TG)and total cholesterol(TC)in the MCI group were elevated( P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve showed that the cut-off value of FBG was 6.2 mmol/L for the hyperglycemia group(sensitivity: 84.1%, specificity: 90.9%, area under curve: 0.875, P<0.001)and 4.5mmol/L for the hypoglycemic group(sensitivity: 77.4%, specificity: 87.3%, area under curve: 0.823, P<0.001); the cut-off value of HbA1c was 5.5%(sensitivity: 76.0%, specificity: 87.0%, area under curve: 0.815, P<0.001). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that increased risk of MCI was associated with the mean values of fasting blood glucose <4.5 mmol/L( RR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.11-2.59)or ≥6.2 mmol/L( RR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.15-2.86)and of glycosylated hemoglobin ≥ 5.5%( RR: 2.13, 95% CI: 1.51-2.99). Conclusions:Impaired fasting glucose tolerance and low fasting blood glucose are independent risk factors for MCI in the elderly.
