Zishen Huoxue decoction (ZSHX) enhances cardiomyocyte viability following hypoxic stress; however, its upstream therapeutic targets remain unclear. Network pharmacology and RNA sequencing analyses revealed that ZSHX target genes were closely associated with mitophagy and apoptosis in the mitochondrial pathway. In vitro, ZSHX inhibited pathological mitochondrial fission following hypoxic stress, regulated FUN14 domain-containing protein 1 (FUNDC1)-related mitophagy, and increased the levels of mitophagy lysosomes and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta II (LC3II)/translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 (TOM20) expression while inhibiting the over-activated mitochondrial unfolded protein response. Additionally, ZSHX regulated the stability of beta-tubulin through Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) and could modulate FUNDC1-related synergistic mechanisms of mitophagy and unfolded protein response in the mitochondria (UPR^mt) via the SIRT5 and -β-tubulin axis. This targeting pathway may be crucial for cardiomyocytes to resist hypoxia. Collectively, these findings suggest that ZSHX can protect against cardiomyocyte injury via the SIRT5-β-tubulin axis, which may be associated with the synergistic protective mechanism of SIRT5-β-tubulin axis-related mitophagy and UPR^mt on cardiomyocytes.

Objective:To investigate the changes of inflammatory factors and immune function in bronchial asthma children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.Methods:From March 2019 to March 2020, 78 children with bronchial asthma and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in Wenling Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected as observation group, and 50 bronchial asthma children without Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection during the same period were selected as control group.The levels of inflammatory factors, including tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-8(IL-8) and interleukin-13(IL-13), immunoglobulin A(IgA), immunoglobulin G(IgG) and immunoglobulin M(IgM) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the changes of T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood were measured by flow cytometry.Results:The serum levels of TNF-α[(76.42±16.51)ng/L], IL-8 [(130.92±25.45)ng/L] and IL-13 [(172.35±28.39)ng/L] in the observation group were higher than those in the control group [(58.93±13.24)ng/L, (89.65±17.42)ng/L and (108.47±21.42)ng/L] ( t=6.708, 11.025, 14.665, all P<0.05). The serum levels of IgA [(0.64±0.16)g/L] and IgG [(7.31±1.26)g/L] in the observation group were lower than those in the control group [(1.04±0.19)g/L and (8.64±1.35)g/L], while the serum level of IgM [(1.29±0.24)g/L] was higher than that in the control group [(0.97±0.18)g/L] ( t=12.587, 5.864, 8.714, all P<0.05). The CD 3+ [(62.08±3.87)%], CD 4+ [(38.98±3.31)%] and CD 4+ /CD 8+ (1.29±0.13) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group [(71.38±4.35)%, (45.37±3.18)% and (1.87±0.25)] ( t=12.549, 11.103, 15.512, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Children with bronchial asthma and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection have obvious inflammatory reaction and low immune function.

Objective To study the setup accuracy and other factors during frameless stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) of intracraial tumor using ExacTrac X-ray image guide system.Methods Totally 119 intracranial tumor patients from August 2014 to February 2016 underwent auto setup with infrared marker.Bilateral oblique cross field images were obtained with ExacTrac X-ray system,and went through comparison,registration and correction with the digitally reconstructed ones of the planning system.Then the translation accuracy errors at LAT,LNG and VRT directions and corresponding rotational accuracy errors were acquired,and the errors experienced extended analysis.Results The translation errors at LAT,LNG and VRT directions acquired with ExacTrac X-ray image guidance system and 6DOF couch were (0.16±0.13) mm,(0.17±0.14) mm and (0.15±0.11) mm respectively,the corresponding rotational errors were (0.21±0.15),(0.18±0.15),(0.18±0.14)° respectively,and the vector error was (0.32±0.16) mm.All of 3 translation and 3 rotational errors were in the SRS error range.Conclusion ExacTrac X-ray image guidance system combined with 6 degrees-of-freedom couch increases the treatment accuracy during frameless SRS,and thus is worthy promoting practically.
