OBJECTIVE To investigate the in vitro anti-inflammatory effects and mechanisms of oblongifolins A (OA) extracted from Garcinia oblongifolia. METHODS RAW264.7 cells were used as the research subject and divided into control group (0.5% DMSO), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (1 μg/mL), DEX group (10 µmol/L DEX+1 μg/mL LPS), and low-, medium-, and high-concentration groups of OA (7.5, 15, 30 µmol/L OA+1 μg/mL LPS). Except for the control group, the remaining groups were first stimulated with LPS for 1 hour and then mixed with drugs for 24 hours. The morphological changes of cells were observed in each group. The contents of nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, IL-4 and IL-10 were detected in cells of each group; mRNA expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β were measured. The expression of key proteins in the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathways in each group, as well as the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and Nrf2 proteins in control group, LPS group and OA high-concentration group, were detected. RESULTS Compared to the LPS group, the number of spindle-shaped and irregular cells gradually decreased in OA groups, the contents of NO, ROS (except for OA low-concentration group), TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, the mRNA expressions of TNF-α, IL-6 (except for OA low-concentration group) and IL-1β as well as the protein expressions of phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65), p-IκBα, and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) were decreased significantly (P<0.05). The contents of IL-4 and IL-10, protein expressions of IκBα, Nrf2 (except for OA low- and medium-concentration groups), HO-1 (except for OA low-concentration group) and NQO1 were all increased significantly (P<0.05). OA of high concentration could inhibit NF-κB p65 protein nuclear translocation and promote Nrf2 protein nuclear translocation. CONCLUSIONS OA can suppress LPS-induced inflammation in RAW264.7 macrophages. The underlying molecular mechanism likely entails the inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway, the activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway and the reduction of ROS and inflammatory factor release.

The effects of host factors ADP-ribosylation factor 4 (ARF4) and ADP-ribosylation factor 5 (ARF5) upon Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in vivo were characterized by construction of gene knockout mice via CRISPR-Cas9. Firstly, ARF5 and ARF4 genes were modified by the CRISPR-Cas9 system and then microinjected into the fertilized eggs of C57BL/6JGpt mice. Fertilized eggs were transplanted to obtain ARF4 or ARF5 knockout (ARF4KO or ARF5KO) mice, and ARF4/5 double knockout mice were achieved by the mating between ARF4KO and ARF5KO mice (ARF4KO/ARF5KO). Then, the mouse genotypes were identified by PCR to identify the positive knockout mice, and RT-qPCR was employed to examine the knockout efficiency. The mice were then infected with ZIKV and the blood and tissue samples were collected after 2, 4, and 6 days. RT-qPCR was then employed to determine the virus load, and hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe the pathological changes in the tissue. The results showed that expected PCR bands were detected from ARF4KO-/+, ARF5KO-/-, and ARF4KO-/+/ARF5KO-/- mice, respectively. The results of mRNA transcription measurement indicated the significant knockdown of ARF4 by 37.8%-50.0% but not ARF5 in ARF4KO-/+ compared with the wild-type mice. Meanwhile, complete knockout of ARF5 and no changes in ARF4 were observed in ARF5KO-/- mice. Additionally, completed knockout of ARF5 and down-regulated mRNA level of ARF4 in the lung, kidney, and testis were detected in ARF4KO-/+/ARF5KO-/-mice in comparison with the wild-type mice. The virus load in the serum decreased in ARF4KO-/+ mice, while it showed no significant change in ARF5KO-/- or ARF4KO-/+/ARF5KO-/- mice compared with that in the wild type. Meanwhile, ARF4KO-/+ mice showcased no significant difference in virus load in various tissues but attenuated pathological changes in the brain and testis compared with the wild-type mice. We successfully constructed ARF4KO and ARF5KO mice by CRISPR-Cas9 in this study. ARF4 rather than ARF5 is essential for ZIKV infection in vivo. This study provided animal models for studying the roles of ARF4 and ARF5 in ZIKV infection and developing antivirals.

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella. Its typical clinical manifestations include fever, chills, fatigue, bone and muscle pain, etc. Brucellosis can affect multiple organs and tissues, of which spine is the most common affected part, forming Brucella spondylitis. Due to the clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics of infected individuals being similar to other spinal diseases, it is easy to cause misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis, and mistreatment. This article reviews the latest research progress in clinical manifestations, imaging examination, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of Brucella spondylitis both domestically and internationally, in order to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of Brucella spondylitis.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of blood donation related self-efficacy on blood donation intention, in order to provide valuable reference for formulating the recruitment and service strategy for blood donors with different demographic characteristics. 【Methods】 A questionnaire was designed based on psychological self-efficacy theory, and respondents in Nanchong city were taken as the research objects. The data of demographic characteristics, blood donation related self-efficacy measurement and blood donation intention measurement of the respondents who were randomly selected by convenient sampling method were collected and analyzed by rank sum test. 【Results】 The number of previous blood donation was significantly correlated with blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention, and there was a strong positive correlation between blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention (r=0.618). There are significant differences in blood donation related self-efficacy or blood donation intention of respondents with different blood donation experiences (P<0.05), and respondents who donated blood twice or more showed relatively strong blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention. Significant differences in blood donation related self-efficacy or blood donation intention among respondents were noticed in gender, age or education level(P<0.05), and males or 30~39 years old respondents, or respondents with bachelor degree or above have relatively strong blood donation related self-efficacy and blood donation intention. Significant differences in blood donation related self-efficacy were noticed among respondents with different occupations (P<0.05), but no significant difference was noticed in blood donation intention (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Blood donation intention can be increased by enhancing the blood donation related self-efficacy of respondents. We can focus on the recruitment of respondents with high self-efficacy in the areas covered by the survey during the practice of blood donor recruitment and service to achieve higher recruitment efficiency. In the meantime, special attention should also be paid to the people with relatively low self-efficacy and high-quality services should be provided t to expand blood donor team. Furthermore, blood donor recruitment and services can be appropriately expanded to the countryside as needed.

Objective To investigate the relationship between visceral fat related index and the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods A total of 308 patients hospitalized with AP at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from September 2014 to October 2021 were included. They were divided into mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) ( n =186), moderate severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) ( n =60) and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) ( n =62) for comparison in age, hospitalization cost and days, scoring systems and body mass indexes. Comparison of normally distributed continuous data with homogeneity of variance between groups was made by one-way analysis of variance, and intergroup and intragroup pairwise comparison of data with heterogeneity of variance was made by the Kruskal-Wallis H test. The receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs) for each index were constructed and area under the curve ( AUC ) was calculated to evaluate the performance of each index. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify the independent risk factors of MSAP and SAP. Results There were significant differences among the three groups in terms of hospitalization costs and durations, TG, HDL-C, NLR, WBC, Alb, Cr, BUN, scoring systems, CMI, LAP, WTI and CVAI. Further pairwise comparisons revealed that CMI, LAP, WTI and CVAI were significantly higher in the MAP group than in MSAP and SAP groups. We also found correlation between CMI and the severity of AP ( r =0.352, P < 0.001). By comparing the AUC s, CMI was found to be the most accurate in predicting the occurrence of MSAP and SAP. Univariable logistic regression analysis showed that CMI, LAP, WTI, CVAI and WC were the risk factors of MSAP and SAP. After adjusting for confounding factors, CMI and CVAI were identified as the independent risk factors of MSAP and SAP. The risk of MSAP and SAP with CMI ≥ 0.801 was 3.740 times that with CMI < 0.801 (95% CI : 1.983~7.056, P < 0.001). Conclusions Visceral fat is related to the severity of AP. Among the four visceral fat related indexes (CMI, LAP, WTI and CVAI), cardiometabolic index is the most valuable in predicting the severity of AP and they are positively correlated. CMI, an independent risk factor for MSAP and SAP, can be used to predict and assess the severity of AP.

Objective To explore the occurrence and change rules of symptom distress in breast cancer patients before and one year after surgery. Methods From June 2016 to July 2016, this study selected 80 breast cancer patients at initial diagnosis by and with surgery in a Class Ⅲ Grade A cancer hospital of Guangzhou as subjects by pathobiology with the method of convenience sampling. The symptom distress was investigated with the M.D.Anderson symptom inventory (MDASI) before, three months, six months and one year after surgery. Results The scores of symptom sub-scale of breast cancer patients before, three months, six months and one year after surgery were (1.23±1.04), (3.20±1.54), (3.09±1.27) and (1.10±0.69) respectively with statistical differences (F=97.70,P < 0.01). The scores of distress sub-scale of breast cancer patients before, three months, six months and one year after surgery were (1.49±1.63), (4.24±2.30), (3.08±1.86) and (0.98±0.89) respectively with statistical differences (F=89.01,P < 0.01). The level of symptom distress of breast cancer patients was the highest three months after surgery and decreased gradually after that, and was lower one year after surgery than that before surgery. Conclusions Breast cancer patients had the mild to moderate levels of symptom distress from preoperation to one year after surgery. The level of symptom distress of patients is the highest three months after surgery and decreases gradually after that, and is lower one year after surgery than that before surgery. Patients are with varying degrees of symptom distress in each period which points out that we should provide targeted management for adverse reactions caused by disease or treatments at different periods.
