ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility, evaluation methods and metabolic differences of high-fat diet(HFD) combined with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(MIRI) to establish a rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion with phlegm and blood stasis blocking collaterals syndrome(PBSBCS). MethodsThirty-two SD rats were randomly divided into the sham operation, HFD, MIRI, and MIRI+HFD groups. Rats in the sham operation and MIRI groups were fed a standard diet(regular chow), while the HFD and MIRI+HFD groups received a HFD for 10 weeks. Rats in the MIRI and MIRI+HFD groups underwent myocardial ischemia-reperfusion surgery, while the sham operation group underwent only thread placement without ligation. Cardiac function was assessed via small-animal echocardiography, including left ventricular ejection fraction(EF), left ventricular fractional shortening(FS), cardiac output(CO), and stroke volume(SV). Serum levels of creatine kinase(CK), CK-MB, triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), endothelin-1(ET-1), endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-18(IL-18), oxidized LDL(ox-LDL), and cardiac troponin T(cTnT) were measured by biochemical assays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Myocardial histopathology was evaluated via hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining, while myocardial infarction and no-reflow area were assessed using 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC), Evans blue, and thioflavin staining. Changes in syndrome characteristics[body weight, tongue surface red-green-blue [RGB] values, and pulse amplitude] of PBSBCS were recorded. Serum differential metabolites were analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). ResultsCompared with the sham operation group, the HFD and MIRI+HFD groups showed significant increases in body weight(P<0.01), RGB values and pulse amplitude decreased in the HFD, MIRI and MIRI+HFD groups, TC, TG, LDL-C and ox-LDL levels increased in the HFD and MIRI+HFD groups, while HDL-C decreased. Blood perfusion peak time and myocardial no-reflow area increased, serum eNOS level decreased, and CK-MB, LDH, and cTnT activities increased in the HFD, MIRI and MIRI+HFD groups(P<0.05, P<0.01). Whole blood viscosity was increased in the HFD group at medium shear rate, and in the MIRI and MIRI+HFD groups at low, medium and high shear rates(P<0.05, P<0.01). Platelet aggregation rate increased in the MIRI and MIRI+HFD groups, accompanied by elevated ET-1, TNF-α, and IL-18 levels, reduced cardiac function indices, expanded myocardial no-reflow and infarction areas, and increased serum CK, CK-MB, LDH, and cTnT activities(P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the MIRI group, the HFD and MIRI+HFD groups showed significant increase in body weight, TC, TG, LDL-C and ox-LDL levels, and significant decrease in HDL-C content(P<0.01). The MIRI+HFD group showed decrease in RGB values and pulse amplitude, and an increase in whole blood viscosity, platelet aggregation, blood perfusion peak time, myocardial no-reflow and infarction areas, elevated ET-1, TNF-α and IL-18 levels, decreased eNOS content, EF and SV, increased serum CK, CK-MB and cTnT activities, and worsened myocardial pathology(P<0.05). Compared with the HFD group, the MIRI+HFD group showed similar aggravated trends(P<0.05, P<0.01). Metabolomics results showed that 34 potential biomarkers involving 13 common metabolic pathways were identified in the MIRI+HFD group compared with the sham operation group. ConclusionThe MIRI group resembles blood stasis syndrome in hemodynamics and myocardial injury, and the HFD group mirrors phlegm-turbidity syndrome in lipid profiles and tongue characteristics. While the MIRI+HFD group aligns with PBSBCS in comprehensive indices, effectively simulating clinical features of coronary heart disease(CHD), which can be used for the evaluation of the pathological mechanism and pharmacodynamics of CHD with PBSBCS.

Objective:
To investigate the correlation between the proliferation inhibition effect of glucocorticoid (GC) on peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and the pure tone average (PTA) improvement in SSNHL patients.
Methods:
Sixty inpatients with SSNHL were included from July 2013 to October 2015 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University. Peripheral venous blood was collected before receiving treatment, then the PBMC was isolated for GC proliferation inhibition. PBMCs of each patient were cultivated into 4 groups: Group A: PBMCs+ Medium; Group B: PBMCs+ Medium+ lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 μmol/L); Group C: PBMCs+ Medium+ LPS+ Dexamethasone; Group D: Medium. PBMCs were maintained in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C and were observed after 24 hours. 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) was used to measure PBMC proliferation inhibition rate. The PBMC proliferation inhibition rates were calculated according to the absorbance at 490 nm wavelength under a microtiter plate reader. Independent sample

Obj ective To explore the relationship between xeroderma pigmentosum group D (ERCC2/XPD),Bcl-2 associated athanogene 1 (BAG-1 )and DNA repair gene RAD5 1 polymor-phism and clinicopathological characteristics of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods A case-control study with 100 NSCLC cases and 80 controls matched by age and sex was conducted, the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP )was ana-lyzed.Logistic regression model was made to calculate the odd ratios (ORs)and detect 95%confi-dence intervals (CIs)of ERCC2/XPD Lys751Gln,BAG-1codon 324 and RAD51 codon 135 with susceptibility of NSCLC.Unconditional Logistic regression model adj usted by the confounding fac-tors was used to analyze the correlation between the polymorphism genotypes and the risk of NSCLC and clinicopathological characteristics.Results The odds ratios for individuals carrying ERCC2/XPD C/A and A/A were 1.53(95%CI:1.15~3.32)and 0.58 (95% CI:0.15~2.39).The odds ratios for individuals carrying BAG-1 C/T was 1.28(95%CI:1.08~2.74).The odds ratios for individuals carrying RAD51 G/C was 1.03(95%CI:1.06~2.29).ERCC2/XPD C/A and A/A polymorphisms genotype frequencies were significantly related to the invasive characteristics of NSCLC [lymph node metastasis:(P= 0.038,OR= 2.26,95% CI:1.69~3.59),distant metastasis:(P= 0.005,OR= 2.47,95%CI:1.38~4.24)].As the same BAG-1 codon 324 C/T and RAD51 codon 135 G/C polymorphisms genotype frequencies (P= 0.042,OR= 2.57, 95%CI:1.62~4.44 and P= 0.049,OR= 2.86,95%CI:1.39~3.62).Conclusion Genet-icpolymorphism of ERCC2/XPD,BAG-1 and RAD5 1 are associated with the susceptibility to NSCLC.ERCC2/XPD,BAG-1 and RAD51gene polymorphism in Chinese Han population in-creases susceptibility to NSCLC risk and the changes of ERCC2/XPD C/A and A/A,BAG-1codon 324 C/T and RAD51 codon 135 G/C polymorphism are closely related to lymph node and distant metastasis.
