ObjectiveTo investigate the protective mechanism of Qianyang Yuyin granules (QYYY) on aldosterone-induced podocyte injury. MethodA total of 30 C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into five groups: control group, model group, QYYY low dose (QYYY-L) group, QYYY high dose (QYYY-H) group, and spironolactone (SPL) group, with six mice in each group. Except for the control group, mice were implanted with osmotic minipumps and injected continuously with aldosterone (300 μg·kg-1·d-1) to induce renal injury. The drug administration group was given low and high doses (2.6, 5.2 g·kg-1·d-1) of QYYY and SPL (18 mg·kg-1·d-1) for 28 days. The renal pathological changes of mice were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Masson staining. The expression levels of Nephrin, Desmin, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X (Bax), cleaved Caspase-3, nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 2 (NR3C2), extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK), and phospho-ERK (p-ERK) in kidney tissue were detected by Western blot. The apoptosis levels of kidney tissue were detected by TdT-mediated dUTP nick and labeling (TUNEL) staining, and the superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were detected. In vitro, the mice were divided into five groups: Control group, model group (aldosterone concentration of 200 nmol·L-1), QYYY-L group, QYYY medium dose (QYYY-M) group, and QYYY-H group (25, 50, and 100 mg·L-1). The effect of different concentrations of QYYY on the relative viability of aldosterone-induced podocytes was detected by cell proliferation and viability assay (CCK-8). The expressions of Nephrin, Desmin, Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved Caspase-3, NR3C2, and p-ERK/ERK were detected by Western blot. AnnexinV-FITC/PI flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis levels of podocytes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in podocytes were observed by DCFH-DA. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed structural pathological changes and fibrotic conditions in the kidney, increased apoptosis levels (P<0.01), and decreased SOD levels (P<0.01). Aldosterone concentration at 200 nmol·L-1 showed a significant decrease in podocyte activity (P<0.05). Podocytes in the model group showed structural pathological changes, disordered arrangement of intercellular microfilaments, increased apoptosis levels (P<0.01), and increased intracellular ROS levels (P<0.01). The protein expressions of Nephrin, Bcl-2, and p-ERK/ERK in kidney tissue and podocytes were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The protein expressions of Desmin, Bax, cleaved Caspase-3, and NR3C2 were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, QYYY alleviated the structural damage and fibrosis of the kidney, decreased the apoptosis levels (P<0.05, P<0.01), and enhanced the SOD content of the kidney (P<0.05, P<0.01). QYYY improved the activity of podocytes (P<0.05, P<0.01), restored the foot process structure of podocytes, and decreased apoptosis levels (P<0.01) and ROS levels of podocytes (P<0.01). The protein expressions of Nephrin, Bcl-2, and p-ERK/ERK in kidney tissue and podocytes were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the protein expressions of Desmin, Bax, cleaved Caspase-3, and NR3C2 were down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionQYYY improves aldosterone-induced podocyte injury by regulating the NR3C2/ROS/ERK pathway.

Objective:To investigate the effects of propofol and sevoflurane on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after emergency surgery in trauma patients.Methods:A total of 160 trauma patients undergoing emergency surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into the propofol group and the sevoflurane group. The perioperative clinical data of the two groups were collected. The incidence of PTSD was evaluated by PCL-5 score one month after the operation in the two groups. The relevance of the injury time and PCL-5 score was assessed by Spearman correlation analysis. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of PTSD.Results:The incidence of PTSD in the propofol group was significantly higher than that in the sevoflurane group at postoperative 1 month (24.0% vs 10.8%, P=0.034). The injury time was negatively correlated with PCL-5 score in the propofol group ( r=0.229, P<0.01). There was no correlation between the injury time and the PCL-5 score in the sevoflurane group ( r=0.001, P=0.804). Logistic regression analysis showed that the use of propofol was an independent risk factor for PTSD ( P=0.004). Conclusions:Sevoflurane anesthesia is more effective than propofol anesthesia in reducing the occurrence of PTSD in emergency surgery for trauma patients.
