Objective:To construct a rat model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)by choline-deficient high fat diet(CDHFD),and to observe the association between feeding cycle and antioxidant pathway.Methods:The study lasted 16 weeks and was divided into 4 cycles.Detection of pathological changes and expression of antioxidant enzymes in rats liver in different cycles.Results:The early stage of liver steatosis and inflammation in model rats was 2～4 weeks,non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)stage was 4～8 weeks,and liver fibrosis progression was 8～16 weeks.Mechanistic studies had shown that the expressions of antioxidant enzymes Nrf2,SOD and GSH-Px in the liver of NAFLD rats gradually decreased with the extension of the feeding cycle.Conclusion:Different modeling cycles can successfully induce the pathological changes of steatosis,inflammation and liver fibrosis in rat liver,and the pathological changes are time-dependent with the expressions of antioxidant enzymes.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of alanyl glutamine combined with octreotide in the treatment of acute pancreatitis(AP)associated lung injury.Methods A total of 94 patients with AP associated lung injury admitted to Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital from June 2022 to June 2024 were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method,with 47 patients in each group.Patients in control group were treated with octreotide,patients in observation group were treated with alanyl glutamine on the basis of control group.The efficacy,Balthazar CT grading,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)score,Murray lung injury score(MLIS),Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4),matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)and blood gas indexes[arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),arterial oxygen saturation(SaO2)and oxygenation index]were compared between two groups.Results The curative effect of observation group was significantly better than that of control group(x2=5.817,P=0.016).After treatment,the Balthazar CT grading,APACHE Ⅱ score,MLIS score,TLR4 and MMP-9 of patients in two groups were significantly lower than before treatment,while PaO2,SaO2 and oxygenation index were significantly higher than before treatment(P＜0.05).Balthazar CT grading,APACHE Ⅱ score,MLIS score,TLR4 and MMP-9 in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group,while PaO2,SaO2 and oxygenation index were significantly higher than those in control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Alanyl glutamine combined with octreotide has a significant effect in the treatment of patients with AP associated lung injury,which can improve the clinical symptoms of patients,reduce lung injury and inflammation.

The chemical constituents were systematically separated from the roots of Berberis polyantha by various chromatographic methods, including silica gel column chromatography, HP20 column chromatography, polyamide column chromatography, reversed-phase C_(18) column chromatography, and preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. The structures of the compounds were identified by physicochemical properties and spectroscopic techniques(1D NMR, 2D NMR, UV, MS, and CD). Four phenylpropanoids were isolated from the methanol extract of the roots of B. polyantha, and they were identified as(2R)-1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-propanone-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(1), methyl 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzoate(2),(+)-syringaresinol(3), and syringaresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(4). Compound 1 was a new compound, and other compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time. The anti-inflammatory activity of these compounds was evaluated based on the release of nitric oxide(NO) in the culture of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophages. At a concentration of 10 μmol·L~(-1), all the four compounds inhibited the LPS-induced release of NO in RAW264.7 cells, demonstrating potential anti-inflammatory properties.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between CDKN2A copy number deletion and clinical features of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and its prognostic value. METHODS: 155 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients with complete clinical data in the Department of Hematology of People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from March 2009 to March 2022 were included, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissues were obtained and DNA was extracted from them, and next-generation sequencing technology was applied to target sequencing including 475 lymphoma-related genes, the relationship between CDKN2A copy number deletion and clinical features, high-frequency mutated genes and overall survival (OS) of DLBCL patients were analyzed. RESULTS: CDKN2A copy number deletion was present in 12.9% (20/155) of 155 DLBCL patients, grouped according to the presence or absence of copy number deletion of CDKN2A, and a higher proportion of patients with IPI≥3 were found in the CDKN2A copy number deletion group compared to the group with no CDKN2A copy number deletion (80% vs 51.5%, P =0.015) and were more likely to have bulky disease (20% vs 5.2%, P =0.037). Survival analysis showed that the 5-year OS of patients in the CDKN2A copy number deletion group was significantly lower than that of the non-deletion group (51.3% vs 69.2%, P =0.047). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that IPI score≥3 (P =0.007), TP53 mutation (P =0.009), and CDKN2A copy number deletion (P =0.04) were independent risk factors affecting the OS of DLBCL patients. CONCLUSION CDKN2A copy number deletion is an independent risk factor for OS in DLBCL, and accurate identification of CDKN2A copy number deletion can predict the prognosis of DLBCL patients.

Cerebral edema is characterized by fluid accumulation, and the glymphatic system (GS) plays a pivotal role in regulating fluid transport. Using the Tenecteplase system, magnesium salt of salvianolic acid B/ginsenoside Rg1 (SalB/Rg1) was injected intravenously into mice 4.5 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion and once every 24 h for the following 72 h. GS function was assessed by Evans blue imaging, near-infrared fluorescence region II (NIR-II) imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). SalB/Rg1 had significant effects on reducing the infarct volume and hemorrhagic transformation score, improving neurobehavioral function, and protecting tissue structure, especially inhibiting cerebral edema. Meanwhile, the influx/efflux drainage of GS was enhanced by SalB/Rg1 according to NIR-II imaging and MRI. SalB/Rg1 inhibited matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity, reduced cleaved β-dystroglycan (β-DG), and stabilized aquaporin-4 (AQP4) polarity, which was verified by colocalization with CD31. Our findings indicated that SalB/Rg1 treatment enhances GS function and attenuates cerebral edema, accompanying the regulation of the MMP9/β-DG/AQP4 pathway.

Objective:To study the longitudinal trends and spatial clustering characteristics of healthcare service efficiency in China and in North,Northeast,East,Central,South,Southwest,and Northwest China.Methods:The Malmquist index model is used to measure China's healthcare service efficiency from 2012 to 2021,the Dagum Gini coefficient as well as the decomposition method are used to measure the magnitude and source of regional gaps in healthcare service efficiency,and the Kernel density estimation is used to study the longitudinal trend of change and spatial agglomeration characteristics of China's healthcare service efficiency.Results:China's overall healthcare service efficiency is growing,and the inter-regional gap is gradually narrowing,characterized by a concentration trend;the gap in the level of healthcare service efficiency between regions did not widen during the period under examination,but it was found that the gap within some regions was still significant.Conclusion:The national health service efficiency is growing slightly,and the regional gap is generally decreasing,but the Gini coefficient shows that the inter-regional contribution is still the main source of the gap.National health service efficiency is generally concentrated,but some regions are less efficient,with significant internal disparities.
