Objective To observe the effects of Dihong Prescription on glomerular mesangial cells of mice cultured with high glucose;To explore its mechanism in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.Methods The TargetScan database was used to predict the miRNA regulating bispecific phosphatase 1(DUSP1),and the double luciferase was used to verify the targeting relationship between miR-133b and DUSP1.The glomerular mesangial cells of mice were cultured in vitro and divided into control group,high glucose group and Dihong Prescription low-,medium-and high-dosage groups,and was given corresponding intervention.CCK-8 was used to detect cell viability,TUNEL staining was used to observe the apoptosis of cells,flow cytometry was used to determine the expression of reactive oxygen species(ROS),Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of phosphorylated extracellular regulatory protein kinase 1/2(p-ERK1/2),ERK1/2,phosphorylated c-Jun amino-terminal kinase(p-JNK),JNK,p-p38,p38,mitochondrial dynamoculture-associated protein 1(Drp1)and mitochondrial fission protein 1(Fis1),transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructure of mitochondria.Results The double luciferase demonstrated that miR-133b could target the regulation of DUSP1.Compared with the control group,the cell viability significantly decreased in the high glucose group(P<0.01),the apoptosis rate significantly increased(P<0.01),the content of ROS significantly increased(P<0.01),and the protein expressions of p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2,p-p38/p38,p-JNK/JNK,Drp1 and Fis1 significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with the high glucose group,the cell viability significantly increased in Dihong Prescription medium-and high-dosage groups(P<0.01),the apoptosis rate significantly decreased(P<0.01),the content of ROS significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the protein expressions of p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2,p-p38/p38,p-JNK/JNK,Drp1 and Fis1 significantly decreased(P<0.01).Transmission electron microscopy showed that large number of autophagosomes,autophagosomes,mitochondria vacuolation and cristae fusion were observed in the high glucose group;the mitochondrial damage caused by high glucose was alleviated in Dihong Prescription low-,medium-and high-dosage groups.Conclusion Dihong Prescription can improve oxidative stress injury in glomerular mesangial cells of mice cultured with high glucose,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of mitochondrial function and miR-133b/DUSP1/MAPK pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of scalp nerve block combined with general anesthesia in optimizing anesthesia in the patients with moyamoya disease undergoing revascularization.Methods:A total of 154 patients with moyamoya disease, aged 18-64 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, undergoing elective revascularization, were divided into 2 groups ( n=77 each) using a random nunber table method: scalp nerve block combined with general anesthesia group (GN group) and general anaesthesia group (G group). Anesthesia was induced with intravenous midazolam 0.05 mg/kg, sufentanil 0.5-1.0 μg/kg, rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg and etomidate 0.2-0.3 mg/kg.After the patients were tracheally intubated after anesthesia induction, ipsilateral scalp nerve block (2 ml for supraorbital nerve block, 2 ml for supratrochlear nerve block; 3 ml for auriculotemporal nerve block, 3 ml for greater occipital nerve block, 3 ml for less occipital nerve block) was performed with 0.5% ropivacaine in GN group.The equal volume of normal saline was locally injected in G group.Anesthesia was maintained by inhalation of sevoflurane and intravenous infusion of remifentanil 0.05-0.10 μg·kg -1·min -1 and cisatracurium 0.1 mg·kg -1·h -1.The consumption of intraoperative remifentanil, requirement for postoperative rescue analgesia, nausea and vomiting, length of postoperative hospital stay, and early neurological complications were recorded.The modified Rankin Scale scores were evaluated before operation, at discharge and at 6 months after operation. Results:Compared with G group, the consumption of intraoperative remifentanil and requirement for postoperative rescue analgesia were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, incidence of neurological complications, length of postoperative hospital stay, and modified Rankin Scale scores at each time point in GN group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Scalp nerve block combined with general anesthesia can increase the perioperative analgesic efficacy and is helpful in achieving a low-opioid anesthesia mode when used in the patients with moyamoya disease undergoing revascularization.
