OBJECTIVE To investigate the pharmacological components and mechanism of Qingre huoxue decoction in improving myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(MIRI). METHODS Forty-two rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (normal saline), model group (normal saline), Qingre huoxue decoction low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (4.94, 9.88, 19.79 g/kg),Qingre huoxue decoction drug-containing serum group (19.79 g/kg) and blank serum group (normal saline), with 6 rats in each group. Each group was given corresponding drug/normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 2 weeks. Twelve hours after last administration, except for serum groups, MIRI model was induced in other groups (only threading without ligation in sham operation group). After modeling, cardiac histopathology was observed and apoptosis level was detected. UPLC-MS was used to analyze the samples in Qingre huoxue decoction drug-containing serum group and blank serum group. The main pharmacological components were screened with the help of relevant databases. Multivariate statistical methods were used to analyze the differential metabolites and related metabolic pathways. Validation test was performed based on oxidative stress indicators. RESULTS Qingre huoxue decoction could improve the pathological injury of cardiac tissue and decrease apoptosis rate of cardiac cells in MIRI model rats (P<0.05). Qingre huoxue decoction drug-containing serum contained 20 main pharmacological components such as baicalin, succinic acid, baicalein, cryptotanshinone, isoferulic acid, protocatechuic aldehyde. Qingre huoxue decoction could significantly up-regulate the levels of 15 metabolites including L-arginine, L-arginine, citric acid, glutathione, β-D- glucose and L-carnitine, and down-regulated the levels of 14 metabolites including arachidonic acid, 3-phosphate-d-glycerol phosphate, linoleic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine (P<0.05). These metabolites were mainly involved in energy metabolism, inflammatory injury, oxidative stress and autophagy. Results of validation tests showed that Qingre huoxue decoction could significantly reduce the levels of malondialdehyde, and increased the levels of superoxide dismutase (except for low-dose group) and glutathione peroxidase significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Qingre huoxue decoction can improve the injury of cardiac tissue in MIRI model rats. Its pharmacological components include baicalin, cryptotanshinone, isoferulic acid, protocatechualdehyde, etc. Furthermore, it may play a protective role in MIRI by improving myocardial energy metabolism, down-regulating oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammation infiltration.

Objective:To analyze the distribution and drug resistance of wound pathogenic microorganisms in outpatients of wound healing center so as to provide a basis for the standardized construction of wound healing centers.Methods:A retrospective case series study was used to analyzed the data of 365 outpatients treated at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from December 2017 to October 2019. There were 220 males and 145 females, aged (58.8±18.9)years (range, 18-98 years). The patients included 92 first-visit patients and 273 re-visit patients. The culture results (positive rate of pathogenic microorganisms, bacterial species, bacterial distribution) and drug sensitivity results of the wound secretions were compared and analyzed.Results:(1) Among 365 samples of wound secretions, 198 patients were positive for pathogenic microorganisms with a positive rate of 54.3%. A total of 107 strains (51.0%) of Gram-positive bacteria were detected, mainly Staphylococcus aureus (70 strains, 33.3%); 95 strains (45.2%) of Gram-negative bacteria were detected, mainly Escherichia coli (20 strains, 9.5%), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17 strains, 8.1%); 8 strains (3.8%) of fungi were detected. (2) A total of 26 (28.3%) first-visit patients were positive for pathogenic microorganisms, and 172 (63.0%) re-visit patients were positive for pathogenic microorganisms. The rate of positive microorganism detection had significant differences between first-visit and re-visit patients ( P<0.05). (3) A total of 29 strains were detected in first-visit patients, including 16 strains (55.2%) of Gram-positive bacteria, 11 strains (37.9%) of Gram-negative bacteria and 2 strains (6.9%) of fungi. A total of 181 strains were detected in re-visit patients, including 91 strains (50.3%) of Gram-positive bacteria, 84 strains (46.4%) of Gram-negative bacteria and 6 strains (3.3%) of fungi. The microbial distribution was significantly different between first-visit and re-visit patients ( P<0.05). (4) Compared with first-visit patients, the resistance of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from the re-visit patients to spenicillin, oxacillin, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, clindamycin, moxifloxacin, erythromycin, and levofloxacin were increased variably. No vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was detected, indicating that the staphylococcus aureus presented in the wound was highly sensitive to vancomycin. Conclusions:Staphylococcus aureus is the most common microorganism in wound secretions in outpatients of wound healing center. The rate of positive pathogenic microorganisms in wound secretions of re-visit patients is significantly higher than that of first-visit patients, and the distribution of pathogenic microorganisms of first-visited and revisited patients differs significantly. The Staphylococcus aureus detected in re-visit patients has a higher resistance to common antibiotics compared with first-visit patients. It is suggested that timely detection of pathogenic microorganisms in outpatients and effective control and supervision of outpatient infections are important contents that cannot be ignored in the construction of wound healing center.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Tiaopi huxin prescription (TPHXP) on the atherosclerosis (AS) of ApoE-/- mice, and to investigate its mechanism. METHODS: Forty male ApoE-/- mice were divided into blank group, model group, simvastatin group (positive control, 5 mg/kg) and TPHXP low-dose and high-dose groups (50, 150 mg/kg), with 8 mice in each group. Except that blank group was given common diet, other groups were given high-lipid diet to induce AS model. After modeling, administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically, and blank group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 12 weeks. After last medication, the serum levels of TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C were determined by spectrophotometry. The serum level of NO was detected by nitrate reduction method. The serum levels of IL-6 and VCAM-1 were determined by ELISA. After separating thoracic aorta, HE staining was used to observe the formation of plaque in the thoracic aorta of mice in each group, and the corrected plaque area was calculated. Western blotting was conducted to determine the expression of NF-κB p65, Cav-1 and eNOS. RESULTS: Compared with blank group, the serum levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, IL-6 and VCAM-1 were increased significantly in model group, while the levels of HDL-C and NO were decreased significantly (P<0.01). The plaque of thoracic aorta was obvious and the corrected plaque area were increased significantly (P<0.01). The relative expression of NF-κB p65 and Cav-1 were increased significantly, while the relative expression of eNOS was decreased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group, the serum levels of TC, TG and LDL-C in administration groups, the serum levels of IL-6 and VCAM-1 in simvastatin group and TPHXP high-dose group were decreased significantly, while the serum levels of HDL-C and NO were increased significantly in administration groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In administration groups, the plaques of thoracic aorta were reduced and the corrected plaque area was decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the relative expression of NF-κB p65 and Cav-1 were decreased significantly, while the relative expression of eNOS was increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: TPHXP can regulate the level of blood lipid, decrease the level of inflammatory factors and inhibit the formation of AS plaque, the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting Cav-1/NF-κB pathway.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects and its mechanism of calcium phosphate bone cement (CPC) loading total flavonoids of Davallia mariesii on osteogenic differentiation of induced membrane in rats. METHODS: Drug-loading CPC and drug-loading polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cement were prepared with the contents of Qianggu capsules (total flavonoids of D. mariesii as active ingredient) using CPC and PMMA cement as carrier. Totally 64 male SD rats were randomly divided into drug-loading CPC group, drug-loading PMMA cement group, no-drug CPC group, no-drug PMMA cement group, with 16 rats in each group. The femur of rats was separated and osteotomized to prepare bone defect model, and then the corresponding bone cement was implanted. Four weeks after modeling, the induced membranes of rats were cut and protected. Bone cement was taken out and autogenous cancellous bone was implanted. At the 4th week after modeling, X-ray photographs were taken on the hind limb bones of rats. At the 4th week after modeling and 6th week after bone grafting, induced membranes and new bone were taken from the bone defect area of rats respectively. HE staining was used to observe the morphology of induced membrane, and the width of bone rabecular and the number of osteoblasts of new bone tissue were measured. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein expression of BMP-2 and VEGF in induced membrane. Western blotting assay was used to detect the protein expression of Smad1, Smad4 and Smad7 in new bone. RESULTS: Compared with other 3 groups, the degradation of bone cement in drug-loading CPC group was more obvious in the bone defect areas, which showed that the formation of induced membrane was observed and the bone defect areas were smaller; capillary endothelial cells were abundant and orderly arranged in the induced membranes, and the width of bone trabeculae and the number of osteoblasts in the new bone tissue increased significantly (P<0.05); the protein expression of BMP-2 and VEGF in the induced membrane, the protein expression of Smad1, Smad4 and Smad7 in new bone were increased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: CPC loading total flavonoids of D. mariesii promotes the formation of induced membrane osteoblast in bone defect model rats, which may be associated with regulating osteoblast differentiation by activating BMP-2/Smad pathway; at the same time, it can promote bone healing by promoting the differentiation of vascular endothelial cells, accelerating the formation of capillary network and increasing the expression of vascular endothelial cells.

Objective:
To explore the application value of endoscope in probing the chronic wound with sinus tract in clinic.
Methods:
Twenty-eight chronic wounds with sinus tracts from 27 patients conforming to the inclusion criteria admitted to Outpatient Department of Wound Healing Center of Ruijin Hospital from December 2017 to March 2018 were investigated in a prospective and self-controlled trial. After being cleaned, the diameter of the opening of sinus tract was measured with a rule. A probe was used to measure the depth of a sinus tract according to the touch from the probe extremity in operation, and to measure the depth of a sinus tract that could be observed with naked eyes with the help of a pair of hemostatic forceps. Five minutes later, a probe was inserted deeply into the sinus tract to measure the depth under the endoscopic view combined with touch from the probe extremity in operation. Afterwards, the sinus tract was observed with endoscope, and the depth of the tract which could be observed under the endoscopic view was measured using a probe inserted deeply into the sinus tract. After completion of the above exploration, the sinus tract was infused with contrast agent Omnipaque 350 and scanned by computed tomography (CT) later to obtain its depth. The following indicators were calculated: the ratio of the depth of the sinus tract measured by CT to the diameter of the opening of the sinus tract (hereinafter referred to as the depth/diameter ratio of the sinus tract), the deviation rate comparing the depth of the sinus tract measured by conventional method (measured by probe only) and by endoscope (measured by probe under the endoscope view) with the depth of the sinus tract measured by CT (hereinafter referred to as the deviation rate of the measured depth of the sinus tract), the deviation rate comparing the depth of the sinus tract that could be observed measured by conventional method and by endoscope with the depth of the sinus tract measured by CT (hereinafter referred to as the deviation rate of the depth of the sinus tract that could be observed).
