OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effect and mechanism of desloratadine citrate disodium in mice with hypersensitivity pneumonitis （HP）. METHODS Sixty mice were randomly divided into blank control group （normal saline）， model group （normal saline）， prednisone group （positive control， 20 mg/kg） and desloratadine citrate disodium low-， medium- and high-dose groups （0.5， 1， 2 mg/kg）， with 10 mice in each group. Except for the blank control group， mice in other groups were intraperitoneally injected with ovalbumin （OVA） and exposed to OVA inhalation to establish the HP model. On day 22 post- modeling， mice in each group were administered the corresponding drugs or normal saline， once a day， for 11 consecutive days. After the last administration， lung function and airway hyperreactivity were assessed. The levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-4 and IL-6 in serum as well as the levels of IL-8， IL-13 and IL-17A in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were determined. Pathological changes in lung tissue of mice were evaluated using Masson staining. Furthermore， the expressions of fibrosis-related proteins， including transforming growth factor β1 （TGF-β1）， type Ⅲ collagen （Col-Ⅲ） and fibronectin （FN） were determined in lung tissues. RESULTS Compared with the blank control group， the model group showed significant deterioration in lung function （P＜ 0.01）， while airway resistance and serum levels of IL-1β， IL-4， IL-6 and the levels of IL-8， IL-13 and IL-17A in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were increased significantly （P＜0.01）. The lung tissues exhibited alveolar collapse， atrophy， and structural disarray， along with the formation of extensive deposits of blue collagen fibers， the percentage of positive staining increased significantly （P＜0.01）. Additionally， the expression levels of TGF-β1， Col-Ⅲ， and FN proteins in the lung tissues were also increased significantly （P＜0.01）. After intervention with desloratadine citrate disodium， the pathological changes in the lung tissues of mice in each dosage group of desloratadine citrate disodium showed varying degrees of improvement， and most of the aforementioned indicator levels were significantly reversed （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Desloratadine citrate disodium can improve the lung function and airway hyperreactivity of HP mice， inhibit the release of inflammatory factors in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid， and reduce the deposition of collagen fibers. Its mechanism of action may be related to anti-inflammatory， immunomodulatory， and antifibrotic effects.

Objective To develop a precise method for analyzing urinary peptides based on electromembrane extraction(EME)combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS),and to evaluate its potential applicability in tumor biomarker screening.Methods A total of 15 disease-associated peptides were selected as the target analytes.A supported liquid membrane(SLM)composed of n-octanol containing 5%di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate was employed,with the donor phase being a 1∶1 mixture of urine and 100 mmol/L formic acid and urine,and the acceptor phase being 20 mmol/L formic acid containing 50%dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO).After EME at 40 V for 15 min,the acceptor phase solution was analyzed by LC-MS/MS.Subsequently,the method,EME combined with LC-MS/MS(EME-LC-MS/MS),was preliminarily validated utilizing urine samples from 12 healthy controls and 7 patients with urinary system tumors.Results All 15 peptides exhibited excellent linearity in the range of 0.1-100.0 ng/mL(r≥0.995),with the limits of detection(LODs)being 0.01-0.50 ng/mL and the limits of quantification(LOQs)being 0.03-1.50 ng/mL.The spiked recoveries ranged from 21.0%to 71.2%,with relative standard deviations(RSDs)of 0.8%-20.0%(n=3).Small-sample analysis of clinical specimens revealed that the concentration of bradykinin 1-5 in the urine were significantly higher in tumor patients(median:0.65 ng/mL)than that in healthy controls(median:0.37 ng/mL)(P<0.05),suggesting its potential as a specific biomarker for urinary system tumors.Conclusion The EME-LC-MS/MS method established in the study features simplicity,high efficiency,and high sensitivity,enabling precise determination of trace-level peptides in urine samples.Moreover,this approach provides a reliable methodological basis for disease biomarker screening and promotes the clinical application of electromembrane extraction.

Objective: To investigate the resuscitation effect of aortic balloon occlusion (ABO) on the traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) in swine. Methods: Twenty-seven male domestic swine weighing (32.7±3.8)kg were utilized. After 40% of estimated blood volume was removed within 20 minutes, the animals were subjected to 5 minutes of untreated ventricular fibrillation and then 5 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Additionally, fluid resuscitation was initiated coincident with the beginning of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The animals were randomly divided into model group (n=12) and ABO group (n=15). Once cardiopulmonary resuscitation was implemented, aortic balloon was concurrently inflated to stop the blood flow of descending thoracic aorta at the level of the diaphragm in the ABO group. In the model group, aortic balloon was placed in the same position without inflation. During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the changes of coronary perfusion pressure (CPP), forehead's regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO₂) and pressure of end-tidal CO₂ (PETCO₂) were continuously monitored, and the rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, number of shocks and dose of epinephrine were recorded. At 5 minutes after successful resuscitation, the levels of arterial blood gas, lactate and jugular venous blood oxygen saturation (SjvO₂) were measured. Results: Compared with the model group, the values of CPP, rSO₂ and PETCO₂ during cardiopulmonary resuscitation were significantly increased in the ABO group [CPP: (33.5±5.6)mmHg vs. (23.1±5.2)mmHg at 1 minute, (35.3±6.0)mmHg vs. (26.8±7.4)mmHg at 2 minutes, (36.3±6.3)mmHg vs. (28.2±6.3)mmHg at 3 minutes, (40.1±7.1)mmHg vs. (30.5±6.2)mmHg at 4 minutes, (38.1±7.5)mmHg vs. (29.8±5.3)mmHg at 5 minutes; rSO₂: (45.4±5.2)% vs. (39.2±5.1)% at 1 minute, (47.2±3.6)% vs. (42.0±6.4)% at 2 minutes, (47.7±3.0)% vs. (41.5±5.4)% at 3 minutes, (47.0±2.5)% vs. (42.1±5.9)% at 4 minutes, (47.1±2.0)% vs. (41.5±7.4)% at 5 minutes; PETCO₂: (17.0±3.5)mmHg vs. (12.7±4.2)mmHg at 1 minute, (18.5±3.7)mmHg vs. (14.5±2.7)mmHg at 2 minutes, (20.7±5.3)mmHg vs. (15.5±3.2)mmHg at 3 minutes, (18.7±4.5)mmHg vs. (14.9±3.5)mmHg at 4 minutes, (18.2±3.2)mmHg vs. (14.5±4.2)mmHg at 5 minutes] (all P<0.05). The rate of ROSC was significantly higher in the ABO group than in the model group[100%(15/15) vs. 75%(9/12)] (P<0.05). Additionally, shorter duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, less number of shocks and lower doses of epinephrine were observed in the ABO group when compared with the model group[duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation: 5(5, 5)minutes vs. 5(5, 12.5)minutes, number of shocks: 1(1, 1)times vs. 1(1, 4)times, dose of epinephrine: 0.62(0.62, 0.74)mg vs. 0.64(0.59, 2.59)mg] (all P<0.05). At 5 minutes after resuscitation, the level of arterial lactate was significantly decreased and the value of SjvO₂ was significantly increased in the ABO group compared with the model group[Lactate: (9.6±0.8)mmol/L vs. (10.8±1.4)mmol/L; SjvO₂: (50.0±8.6)% vs. (37.9±16.3)%] (both P<0.05). Conclusions In a swine model of TCA, ABO can increase cardiac and cerebral perfusion during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and improve the efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It might provide a novel and effective method for the resuscitation of TCA in the clinical setting.

BACKGROUND:The microRNAs are involved in regulation of stem cel proliferation, differentiation and aging. To study the effect of Let-7c, a member of Let-7, on the neural differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels provides new ideas for stem cel therapy. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of Let-7c in the neural differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. METHODS: The lentiviral vectors of Let-7c-up and Let-7c-inhibition were constructed and transfected into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. Optimal multiplicity of infection was screened. The cels were divided into non-transfected group, negative control group (transfected with empty virus), transfected enhancement group (transfected with LV-rno-Let-7c-up), transfected inhibition group (transfected with LV-rno-Let-7c-5p-inhibition). Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were treated with fasudil as an inducer for triggering the cels to differentiate into neurons. The fluorescence expressed by transfected cels was observed under inverted fluorescence microscope. The expression of neuron-specific markers, neuron-specific enolase and microtubule-associated protein 2, were measured by immunocytochemical method. The mRNA expression of microtubule-associated protein 2 was detected by RT-PCR. The cel viability was determined by MTT method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the inverted fluorescence microscope, the cels were successfuly transfected with LV-rno-Let-7c-up and LV-rno-Let-7c-5p-inhibition. Fasudil induced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels to differentiate into neurons. The transfection efficiency and expression levels of neuron-specific enolase and microtubule-associated protein 2 in the transfected enhancement group were significantly higher than those in the negative control group (P < 0.05), while in the transfected inhibition group, they were lower than those in the negative control group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the differentiation percentage of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels is increased by fasudil after transfection with LV-rno-Let-7c-up, and Let-7c may promote the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into neurons.

Cerebral ischemia is one of the most common diseases treated by acupuncture therapeutics. Recent studies indicated that acupuncture treatment by needling the conception and governor vessels had positive effects in promoting neural regeneration in patients after cerebral ischemia injury. Acupuncture intervention could continuously promote the proliferation and differentiation of the neural stem cells in the brain, obviously up-regulate expression of growth factors, accelerate angiogenesis and inhibit apoptosis. Hence, it is necessary to present an exhaustive review on the mechanisms. The present review gives a detailed description of pathological changes of cerebral ischemia and acupuncture intervention applied to the conception and governor vessels, and proposes research prospects in the future.
