OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes in high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） fingerprint spectra and nucleoside components between Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum cum Zingibere et Alumine and its processed product Succus bambusae pinella preparata， providing a reference for the quality evaluation of the latter. METHODS HPLC fingerprint was established for 10 batches of Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum cum Zingibere et Alumine and its processed product Succus bambusae pinella preparata following the Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprints （2012 Edition）. Hierarchical cluster analysis （HCA）， principal component analysis （PCA）， and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS- DA） were conducted on their common peaks. The contents of four nucleoside components， hypoxanthine， uridine， adenine， and guanosine， in both Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum cum Zingibere et Alumine and Succus bambusae pinella preparata were determined. RESULTS The similarity between the fingerprints of the 10 batches of Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum cum Zingibere et Alumine， Succus bambusae pinella preparata， and their corresponding reference fingerprints ranged from 0.851 to 0.990. A total of 10 common peaks were obtained for both samples， and 4 components were identified as hypoxanthine， uridine， adenine， and guanosine. The results of HCA， PCA and OPLS-DA showed that the samples of Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum cum Zingibere et Alumine and Succus bambusae pinella preparata were clustered into separate categories， with OPLS-DA selecting 4 differential components between them， ranked by variable importance projection values as peak 8， peak 1， peak 6 （adenine） and peak 10. The content determination results showed that the average contents of hypoxanthine， uridine， adenine and guanosine in Succus bambusae pinella preparata declined by 15.90%， 12.00%， 26.04% and 22.18% compared to Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum cum Zingibere et Alumine， respectively， with statistically significant differences in the contents of hypoxanthine， adenine and guanosine （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS The established fingerprint and content determination methods are simple to operate and have good repeatability， which are suitable for qualitative and quantitative analysis of Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum cum Zingibere et Alumine and Succus bambusae pinella preparata. The average contents of the four nucleoside components decreased after the processing of Succus bambusae pinella preparata.

OBJECTIVE To prepare patchouli oil enteric-coated dropping pills, evaluate its colon-targeted release behaviors and therapeutic potency against rat ulcerative colitis(UC). METHODS The single factor combined with response surface optimization method was used to screen matrix types and optimize preparation process parameters. Formula and thickness of Eudragit coating was selected based on dissolution tendency toward simulated intestinal fluids. Finally, colon targeting release behavior and the therapeutic effect of the preparation were assessed on the rat UC model induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid(TNBS). RESULTS The optimal prescription of patchouli oil dropping pills was patchouli oil∶PEG6000∶PEG8000 ratio of 1∶1∶1; and the optimal condition for preparing patchouli oil pills was keeping nozzle temperature at 9 ℃, and dropping pills at the speed of 33 drops·min−1, with dropping distance set at 6 cm; the optimal ratio of Eudragit L100∶Eudragit S100 was 3∶7 for preferential release in simulate intestinal fluid over simulated gastric fluid. Compared with free patchouli oil, patchouli oil enteric-coated dropping pills significantly alleviated the pathological symptoms such as weight loss, hematochezia and colon shortening in rats; the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-23 in serum was significantly down-regulated and the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β1 was significantly up-regulated. The mRNA expression of Mucin-1 and Mucin-2 in colon tissue was significantly up-regulated and the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α was significantly down-regulated. CONCLUSION The patchouli oil enteric-coated dropping pills have colon-targeted release ability and improve the anti-inflammatory effect of drugs.

Abstract The harm of head injury in skateboarding is more serious. The common injury cause is fall, collision, high speed impact. The primary types of injury include skull fracture, subdural hemorrhage, brain laceration contusion and concussion. Older children and adolescents, males, longboard, inappropriate sports venue are important risk factors for severe traumatic brain injury. Designing special skateboard parks and wearing protective equipment (helmets) can effectively reduce the incidence and severity of head injuries. The occurrence of injury can be reduced by adopting both legislation and education measures.

Objective:To establish the pig model of cardiac arrest and resuscitation, and then investigate the protective role of sivelestat (SV) on the heart after resuscitation and its relation with β-catenin signaling pathway.Methods:Twenty-five healthy male white pigs were purchased. The animals were randomly divided into the Sham group ( n=6), cardiopulmonary resuscitation group (CPR, n=10), and CPR+SV group ( n=9). The experimental animal model was established by 9 min of cardiac arrest induced by the method of ventricular fibrillation and then 6 min of CPR in the CPR and CPR+SV groups. At 5 min after successful resuscitation, a dose of 10 mg/kg of SV was infused in a duration of 1h via the femoral vein with a micro-infusion pump in the CPR+SV group. Myocardial function evaluated by the values of stroke volume (SV) and global ejection fraction (GEF) was measured by PiCCO at baseline, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 h after resuscitation. The serum concentrations of cardiac injury biomarkers including cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase isoenzymes (CK-MB) were measured by ELISA using blood samples drawn from the femoral vein at baseline, and at 1, 2, 4, and 24 h after resuscitation. The animals were euthanized at 24 h after resuscitation, and then cardiac tissue samples were harvested to measure the protein expression levels of β-catenin, Cyclin D1, c-Myc, cleaved caspase-9, and cleaved caspase-3 by Western blot and the degree of cell apoptosis by TUNEL. Results:Prior to cardiac arrest, myocardial function and cardiac injury biomarkers were maintained at the same levels, and no differences were observed among the three groups (all P> 0.05). After resuscitation, myocardial dysfunction and cardiac injury were observed in the CPR and CPR+SV groups, in which the values of SV and GEF were significantly decreased and meanwhile the serum concentrations of cTnI and CKMB were significantly increased when compared with the Sham group (all P< 0.05). However, myocardial dysfunction and cardiac injury were significantly milder in the CPR+SV group, in which the value of SV at 4h post-resuscitation and the values of GEF starting 1h post-resuscitation were significantly increased, and the serum concentrations of cTnI and CKMB were significantly decreased at 4 and 24 h post-resuscitation when compared to the CPR group (all P< 0.05). Tissue measurements indicated that the change of β-catenin signaling pathway and the occurrence of cell apoptosis were observed in the heart at 24 h post-resuscitation in the CPR and CPR+SV groups, which were indicated by significant increases in the protein expression levels of β-catenin, Cyclin D1, c-Myc, cleaved caspase-9, and cleaved caspase-3, and marked elevation in the index of cell apoptosis when compared with the Sham groups (all P< 0.05). However, the expression levels of proteins mentioned above were significantly decreased in the heart at 24 h post-resuscitation and the index of cell apoptosis was significantly reduced in the CPR+SV group when compared to the CPR group (all P< 0.05). Conclusion:SV has the protective role in alleviating post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction and cardiac injury, in which the protective mechanism is possibly related to the alleviation of cell apoptosis through the inhibition of β-catenin signaling pathway activation.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of the treatment for complex aortic coarctation with extra anatomic bypass and anatomic correction techniques. Methods The clinical data of patients with complex aortic coarctation treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and Friendship Hospital of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture between April 2012 and November 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Results A total of 12 patients were enrolled, including 5 males and 7 females aged 11-54 (34.3±16.2) years. Extra anatomic bypass grafting was performed in 8 patients and anatomic correction was performed in 4 patients. The operations were successful in all patients. There was no perioperative death. The average cardiopulmonary bypass time was 203.0±46.0 min (7 median incision patients), and the average intraoperative blood loss was 665.0±102.0 mL. The average postoperative ventilator support time was 32.3±7.5 h, and the average postoperative hospital stay time was 10.2±4.3 d. The mean drainage volume of median incision was 1 580.0±360.0 mL, and the mean drainage time was 9.3±2.7 d. The mean drainage volume of left thoracotomy was 890.0±235.0 mL, and the mean drainage time was 4.8±2.5 d. One patient had a transient hoarse after operation and recovered 6 months later. The follow-up period ranged from 2 to 10 years with an average time of 81.0±27.0 months. All patients had a recovery of hypertension, cardiac afterload after 2 years postoperatively. One patient who received an artificial blood vessel replacement in situ was examined stenosis recurrence at the third year after discharge. Others were asymptomatic during the follow-up period. There were no death or other complications. Conclusion The treatment strategy for complex aortic coarctation should be individualized according to the anatomical features and concomitant heart diseases. Extra anatomic bypass technique is a safe and feasible choice.

BACKGROUND:Reactive oxygen species may be closely related to the occurrence and development of tendinopathy,but its exact role and related signal transduction mechanism have not been fully summarized. OBJECTIVE:To review current clinical or preclinical original studies,summarize the role of reactive oxygen species in tendinopathy and related signal transduction pathways and to explore its characteristics and whether there is a unified downstream pathway. METHODS:Relevant original studies in PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,as well as CNKI,WanFang,and VIP databases were searched by computer and the search results were screened and excluded according to the inclusion criteria.Ninety articles were finally included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Reactive oxygen species affects the direction of tendon healing by simultaneously acting on tendon cells and the extracellular matrix,and it exhibits a bifacial effect in the treatment of tendinopathy.Concentration of reactive oxygen species may be the key to determining its direction of action.The possibility that low-dose reactive oxygen species can participate in the normal physiological healing of tendons or that tendon tissues are adaptive to stimulations may be the underlying mechanism that produces this characteristic effect.Reactive oxygen species affect the composition and structure of the extracellular matrix and normal tendon repair as well as maintain viability in response to external stimulations through matrix metalloproteinases,mitogen-activated protein kinases,mitochondrial apoptosis,the forkhead transcription factor O family,autophagy,inflammation,and antioxidant signaling pathways.Different reactive oxygen species stimulation intensities,durations,and external environments may cause different alterations in downstream molecular pathways and thus have different effects on the tendon.Due to the large gap in the number of literature included in the evaluation of the positive and negative effects of reactive oxygen species,it may cause some analytical error in the search for factors behind the characteristics of the action of reactive oxygen species in tendon.In addition,most experimental intervention conditions and results of interest are relatively homogeneous;therefore,the temporal and quantitative mechanisms of reactive oxygen species and the synergistic effects with other intervention factors have not been clarified,and the overall system of molecular actions of reactive oxygen species in tendinopathy has not been constructed.To conclude,reactive oxygen species might be involved in the treatment and prevention of tendinopathies as a beneficial factor in the future,and facilitate the exploration of oxidative stress signaling pathways and overall molecular action systems in tendinopathies thereafter,as well as lay the foundation for research on the therapeutic strategies of different antioxidants in tendinopathies to better prevent and treat tendon injury and degeneration.

Objective To analyze the effect of circLRP6 on high glucose-induced renal tubular epithelial cell injury via miR-31-5p/high mobility group protein A1(HMGA1)axis regulation.Methods Human renal tubular epithelial HK-2 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into eight groups:control,high glucose,high glucose+si-NC,high glucose+si-circLRP6,high glucose+si-circLRP6+miR-NC,high glucose+si-circLRP6+miR-31-5p inhibitor,high glucose+si-circLRP6+miR-31-5p inhibitor+si-NC,and high glucose+si-circ-LRP6+ miR-31-5p inhibitor+si-HMGA1.The circLRP6,miR-31-5p,and HMGA1 mRNA levels were determined using real-time quantitative PCR.Cell supernatant IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)levels,lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)activity,and malondialdehyde(MDA)content were also determined.Furthermore,flow cytometry was used to observe cell apoptosis.HMGA1,Bax,and Bcl-2 protein expression was detected by Western blotting.Finally,dual luciferase assay was used to report the targeting relationship of miR-31-5p with circLRP6 and HMGA1.Results Compared with the high glucose group,the HK-2 cell proliferation inhibition rate;cell superserum IL-6,TNF-α,LDH,and MDA levels;apoptosis rate;and Bax protein expression in the high glucose+si-circLRP6 group decreased significantly,whereas Bcl-2 protein expression increased significantly(all P＜0.05).Consequently,miR-31-5p downregulation possibly weakened the protective effect of si-circLRP6 on high glucose-induced renal tubular epithelial cell injury.HMGA1 expression inhibition reversed the effect of the si-circLRP6+miR-31-5p inhibitor on high glucose-induced renal tubular epithelial cell injury.Finally,miR-31-5p exhibited a targeting relationship with circLRP6 and HMGA1.Conclusion Si-circLRP6 protects high glucose-induced renal tubular epithelial cell injury via miR-31-5p upregulation and HMGA1 expression inhibition.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of the impaction of posterior wall on the prognosis following open reduction and internal fixation for fractures of acetabular posterior wall.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data from the 83 patients with fracture of acetabular posterior wall who had been consecutively treated by open reduction and internal fixation at Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on involvement of posterior wall impaction. In the impaction group of 33 cases, there were 26 males and 7 females with an age of (47.4±11.6) years; in the non-impaction group of 50 cases, there were 43 males and 7 females with an age of (41.3±12.0) years. The quality of postoperative fracture reduction, the function of the affected hip at the last follow-up, and the complication rate during follow-up were compared between the 2 groups. Multifactorial binary logistic regression and age subgroups were used to analyze the effects of posterior wall impaction on functional outcomes.Results:The age, rate of associated injuries in other body parts, and rate of posterior wall comminution in the impaction group were significantly higher than those in the non-impaction group ( P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in other general data of patients between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (44.5±13.3) months after surgery. The rate of anatomical reduction in the non-impaction group (96.0%, 48/50) was significantly higher than that in the impaction group (57.6%, 19/33) ( P<0.05), and the good and excellent rate by the modified Merle d'Aubigné & Postel scale at the last follow-up in the non-impaction group (84.0%, 42/50) was significantly higher than that in the impaction group (51.5%, 17/33) ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). After adjusting for age and gender, the difference in hip function was still significantly different between the 2 groups ( OR=0.23, 95% CI: 0.06 to 0.79, P=0.020). The effect of posterior wall impaction on functional outcomes was statistically significant in patients aged ≥50 years ( P=0.008), whereas the difference was not statistically significant in patients aged <50 years ( P=0.194). Conclusions:Compared with non-impaction ones, acetabular fractures of posterior wall impaction tend to lead to poorer quality of reduction, which in turn affects the postoperative recovery of hip joint function. The impact of impaction fractures on functional recovery is more significant in patients aged 50 years and above.
