OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the protective effect of Huayu Jiedu Decoction(HYJD)on the inflammatory injury of cardiomyocytes induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharide(LPS),and its molecular mecha-nism of inhibitory effect on inflammatory response.METHODS H9c2 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into:the blank control group(Control group),the model control group(LPS group),the drug treatment group(HYJD group)and the combined treatment group(LPS+HYJD group).H9c2 cells were treated with different concentrations of HYJD(2.5,5,10,20 and 40 mg/ml)for 24 h,and the activity of H9c2 cells was detected by MTT assay.Additionally,H9c2 cells were treated with LPS-induced myocardial inflammatory injury cell model after 24 h of HYJD intervention at each concentration gradients to detect the cell proliferation changes,as well as to detect the levels of apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and the levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,IL-8,IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α in the culture supernatant of experimental groups,the changes in the protein ex-pression of NO production and the expression changes of iNOS and TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway protein,and Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect mRNA expression of IL-7R,P38(MAPK)and CXCR2.RESULTS Compared with the Control group,low-concentration HYJD had no significant effect on H9c2 cell viability and did not induce cytotoxic effect,and HYJD increased the survival rate of H9c2 cells in the LPS-induced myocardial inflammatory injury model,and effectively reversed the inhibitory effect of the pro-liferative activity of H9c2 cells induced by LPS.Compared with the control group,the difference in apoptosis level of H9c2 cells in the HYJD monotherapy group was not statistically significant,while the levels of inflammatory apoptosis of H9c2 cells induced by LPS was elevated(P＜0.05).Compared with the LPS group,HYJD inhibited the levels of inflammatory apoptosis in H9c2 cells induced by LPS(P＜0.05),reduced the production of pro-in-flammatory cytokines such as IL-1β,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α in the supernatant of the LPS-induced myocardial in-flammatory injury H9c2 cell culture,and upregulated the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10.Additionally,com-pared with the Control group,the LPS group showed an increased level of NO release(P＜0.05),while the difference in NO release in the low-concentration(5 mg/ml)HYJD was not statistically significant.Compared with the LPS group,the NO release levels in each HYJD intervention group showed a concentration-dependent de-crease(all P＜0.05).Furthermore,compared with the control group,whereas the expression levels of iNOS and TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway proteins in the LPS-induced H9c2 cells were both elevated(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION HYJD exhibits protective effects against LPS-induced septic myocardial injury and can exert an in-hibitory effect on inflammatory response,and the molecular mechanisms may be related to the inhibition of the ac-tivation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and the down-regulation of the expression of inflammatory genes,etc.,and it may have a good biological activity in the prevention and treatment of septic myocardial injury.

Objective:To investigate the application of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) combined with general anesthesia in laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) and its effect on inflammation and oxidative stress response of patients.Methods:Patients with adenomyosis who underwent surgery to minimize LH in Langfang People’s Hospital from Jan. 2021 to Dec. 2023 were collected as the study subjects. They were divided into two groups according to the random number table method, 53 cases each. The control group were given general anesthesia, and the observation group were given ultrasound-guided QLB+general anesthesia. The recovery and postoperative recovery indexes (recovery, spontaneous breathing recovery, removal of laryngeal mask, first getting out of bed, exhaust time), opioid dosage, remedial analgesia times and first pressing analgesia pump time were counted and compared between the two groups. The pain numerical rating scale (NRS) scores of the two groups at different time points (2, 6, 12, 24 h after operation) were compared. The incidence of adverse reactions during hospitalization was counted and compared between the two groups.Results:The time of awakening, spontaneous breathing recovery, removal of laryngeal mask, first getting out of bed and exhaust in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group ( P < 0.05). The total dosage of remifentanil in the observation group was less than that in the control group, the number of remedial analgesia was lower than that in the control group, and the time of first pressing analgesia pump was longer than that in the control group ( P<0.05). At 6, 12 and 24 h after operation, the NRS scores in resting and active state were higher than those at 2 h after operation. The NRS scores in resting and active state at 24 h after operation were lower than those at 12 h after operation, showing a trend of rising first and then decreasing. The NRS scores in resting and active state in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The adverse reaction rate of the two groups was compared ( P> 0.05) . Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided QLB combined with general anesthesia can effectively improve the recovery of LH patients, promote postoperative recovery, relieve postoperative pain, and reduce the dose of opioids.

Covalently closed circular DNA(cccDNA)in hepatocytes is the replication intermediate of hepa-titis B virus(HBV),which is closely related to HBV replication.Meanwhile,it is the transcriptional template of pregenomic RNA(pgRNA),and most of the HBV RNA in serum is derived from unreversed transcribed pgRNA.In recent years,many studies have demonstrated that HBV RNA has an important role in monitoring disease progression and predicting the prognosis of chronic HBV-infected patients,and is a potential biomarker of chronic viral hepatitis B.This article provides an overview of the molecular characterisation of HBV RNA,detection methods and research progress in clinical applications.
