Objective:To explore the mechanism by which Pien Tze Huang improves liver Kupffer cell damage induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by regulating the expression of miR-155.Methods:LPS induced liver Kupffer cells to establish a cell injury model to simulate septic liver injury. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-155 in damaged cells, and RT-qPCR, Western Blot, ELISA and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the inflammatory response and apoptosis of damaged cells. Then we treated LPS-induced Kupffer cells with Pien Tze Huang at different concentrations (0 mg/L, 5 mg/L, 10 mg/L and 15 mg/L), and detected the expression of miR-155 in the cells, the inflammatory response of the cells and Apoptosis rate. MiR-155 was silenced in the cell injury model, and RT-qPCR, Western Blot, ELISA and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the effect of miR-155 on inflammatory response and apoptosis of model cells. Overexpression of miR-155 in damaged cells treated with Pien Tze Huang was used to detect changes in cellular inflammatory response and apoptosis. Data are expressed in the form of mean ± standard deviation, and each group of data is analyzed using t test or one-way analysis of variance.Results:In the LPS-induced liver Kupffer cell injury model, the expression of miR-155 was significantly increased ( P<0.05), the expression levels of pro-inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased, and the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 was significantly increased. was inhibited ( P<0.05), and the cell apoptosis rate was significantly increased ( P<0.05). After Pien Tze Huang treatment, the expression of miR-155 in damaged liver cells was inhibited ( P<0.05), the levels of cellular inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α were inhibited, and the expression of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 was promoted ( P<0.05). Inhibit cell apoptosis ( P<0.05). Silencing miR-155 reduced the inflammatory response and apoptosis rate of cells ( P<0.05). Overexpression of miR-155 can reverse the effect of Pien Tze Huang on liver cell injury ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In the model of LPS-induced liver Kupffer cell injury, Pien Tze Huang can inhibite the inflammatory response and apoptosis of cells by inhibiting the expression of miR-155.

Aromatic compounds are a class of organic compounds with benzene ring(s). Aromatic compounds are hardly decomposed due to its stable structure and can be accumulated in the food cycle, posing a great threat to the ecological environment and human health. Bacteria have a strong catabolic ability to degrade various refractory organic contaminants (e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs). The adsorption and transportation are prerequisites for the catabolism of aromatic compounds by bacteria. While remarkable progress has been made in understanding the metabolism of aromatic compounds in bacterial degraders, the systems responsible for the uptake and transport of aromatic compounds are poorly understood. Here we summarize the effect of cell-surface hydrophobicity, biofilm formation, and bacterial chemotaxis on the bacterial adsorption of aromatic compounds. Besides, the effects of outer membrane transport systems (such as FadL family, TonB-dependent receptors, and OmpW family), and inner membrane transport systems (such as major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporter and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter) involved in the membrane transport of these compounds are summarized. Moreover, the mechanism of transmembrane transport is also discussed. This review may serve as a reference for the prevention and remediation of aromatic pollutants.

Objective:To investigate the changes in gut microbiota diversity with age in elderly people using high-throughput sequencing.Methods:Ninety healthy volunteers were recruited. People who were <60 years old (middle-aged group) were set up as a baseline control group (Age A group), while those aged ≥60 years old were further divided into four groups (60-<70: Age B group, 70-<80: Age C group, 80-<90: Age D group, ≥90: Age E group). Fecal samples were collected to extract DNA. The second-generation sequencing technology was used to amplify and sequence the V3-V4 hypervariable region of 16S rDNA. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to compare the differences in gut microbiota and functional genes among groups.Results:At the phylum level, gut microbiota were composed mainly of Firmicute, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria in different groups. The proportion of Firmicute was the highest, accounting for over 60%, followed by that of Bacteroidetes. At the genus level, the abundance of Faecalibacterium genus decreased with age. The α diversity analysis showed that the gut microbiota in the elderly of different ages had higher abundance and uniformity, and there was no significant difference among groups. However, the β diversity analysis showed that in community structure there was difference between Age A and Age B groups, and similarity between Age B and Age C groups. Conclusions:The community structure of gut microbiota changed significantly between young and middle-aged people and the elderly over 60 years old. It tended to be relatively stable in people of 60-80 years old, but changed again when they were over 80 years old. Chronic inflammatory diseases, metabolic diseases and tumors in the elderly might be associated with the decrease in Faecalibacterium.

Objective:To implement PRECEDE-PROCEED based intervention in community patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and explore its effects on patients' diabetes knowledge and self-efficacy.Methods:Totally 86 T2DM patients treated in a community health service center in Hangzhou between May and October 2014 were selected using convenient sampling and divided into intervention group ( n=43) and control group ( n=43) . Patients in the intervention group received 6-month intervention based on PRECEDE-PROCEED, while patients in the control group received a regular community health education course once during the same period. The diabetes knowledge and self-efficacy scores were evaluated between the two groups before and 3 and 6 months after intervention. At last, a total of 40 patients in the intervention group and 42 patients in the control group completed the study. Results:Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that there were time-dependent, between-group and combined effects in diabetes knowledge and self-efficacy scores in the two groups ( P<0.05) . Pairwise comparison between the two groups revealed that there was no statistically significant difference in diabetes knowledge and self-efficacy scores between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05) , but there were statistically significant differences in diabetes knowledge and self-efficacy scores between the two groups 3 and 6 months after intervention ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The PRECEDE-PROCEED based intervention can effectively improve the diabetes knowledge and self-efficacy of T2DM patients, which is worth promoting in clinical practice.

Objective: To investigate the gut microbiota diversity between the elderly supported by institution-based care and home-based care. Methods: Fresh stool samples were collected from 18 aged persons supported by institution-based care (G1 group), 20 aged persons with home-based care (G2 group) and 20 middle-aged and young adults (G3 group). The V3-V4 hypervariable region of 16S rDNA was amplified and sequenced by next generation sequencing technology. Operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were analyzed by QIIME analysis platform for species annotation, diversity analysis, and inter-group difference analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using RStudio software. Results: The top 6 microbiological taxa in the three groups were Firmicute, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Fusobacteria and Verrucomicrobia. The abundance of the Firmicute in the G1 and G2 groups showed significant differences [(61.47±5.58)% vs (76.55±3.64)%, P<0.05]. The G1 and G3 groups had a statistically significant difference in the abundance of the Proteobacteria [(9.59±12.68)% vs (2.15±2.47)%, P<0.05]. The abundance of both Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria was higher in the G1 group than in the G2 group without significant difference between the two groups. No significant differences in diversity indices (Shannon, Simpson and Chao1) were found between G1 and G2 groups (P>0.05). Results of the NMDS analysis showed that the intra-group differences were greater than inter-group differences in G1 and G2 groups. Conclusions No significant difference in the diversity of gut microbiota was detected between the elderly supported by institution-based care and home-based care, but there were differences in the composition of the predominant gut microbiota.
