ObjectiveTo investigate the immunomodulatory effect of polysaccharides from Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix herb pair(Qi-gui polysaccharides) on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophages and to characterize the structure of the active component Qi-gui homogeneous polysaccharide(AAPS-4a), and evaluate its protective effect on ulcerative colitis(UC). MethodsThe effects of six Qi-gui polysaccharides(0.01-100 mg·L-1) on the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells were assessed by cell proliferation and activity assay(CCK-8), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to investigate the effects of the six polysaccharides(3, 10 mg·L-1) on the secretion levels of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, interferon(IFN)-β, and nitric oxide(NO) in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. After screening for active polysaccharides, high-performance size-exclusion chromatography(HPSEC) was used to determine its homogeneity and relative molecular weight, then its characteristic functional groups were identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), monosaccharide composition was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), methylation analysis combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) was performed to determine the types and linkage modes of sugar residues, and one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) were used to identify the sugar residue composition and configuration of the active polysaccharide. Finally, experimental animals were divided into the normal group, model group, AAPS-4a low-dose group(50 mg·kg-1), AAPS-4a high-dose group(100 mg·kg-1), and sulfasalazine(SASP) group (75 mg·kg-1). Except for the normal group, the acute UC mouse model was induced using 3.5% dextran sulfate sodium salt(DSS). Each treatment group was administered the corresponding dose via oral gavage for 7 days, and changes in body weight were recorded. After treatment, the spleen index and disease activity index(DAI) score were calculated, TNF-α and interleukin-6(IL-6) levels in the serum were detected by ELISA, and histopathological changes in colon tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. ResultsAt the cellular level, AAPS-4a exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of LPS-induced increases in TNF-α, IFN-β, and NO levels(P<0.01). Structural characterization of AAPS-4a revealed that it was a homogeneous polysaccharide with a relative molecular weight of 7.6×103 Da, consisting of mannose(Man), glucose(Glc), and galactose(Gal) in a molar ratio of 1.3∶23.9∶1.0. It was primarily composed of five sugar residues of 1,6-α-D-Glcp, T-α-D-Glcp, 1,3-β-D-Galp, 1,4-α-D-Manp, and 1,2-α-D-Galp. In vivo experiments showed that compared with the normal group, the model group demonstrated markedly increased DAI score and spleen index, significantly reduced colon length, and significantly elevated levels of TNF-α and IL-6(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the AAPS-4a high-dose group significantly reduced the DAI score and spleen index, as well as TNF-α and IL-6 levels, and improved colonic atrophy(P<0.05, P<0.01). Pathological observations showed that AAPS-4a significantly inhibited inflammatory cell infiltration in colon tissue and alleviated pathological damage. ConclusionAAPS-4a, a neutral homogeneous polysaccharide composed of 1,6-α-D-Glcp, T-α-D-Glcp, 1,3-β-D-Galp, 1,4-α-D-Manp and 1,2-α-D-Galp, is identified as a key bioactive component contributing to the anti-UC effect of the Qi-gui herb pair. Its immunoregulatory and anti-UC properties suggest its potential as a therapeutic agent for UC.

Objective To understand the situation of butanone exceeding the standard in the maintenance post of inkjet printer, and the measures and process of rectification in an electronic enterprise, and to provide reference for the management of over-standard posts in the same type of enterprises. Methods The relevant data were collected through on-site occupational health survey, process improvement and on-site detection. The rationality and feasibility of rectification of posts exceeding the standard were analyzed. Results Through many on-site process improvements, the posts were set up separately and effective protective facilities were added, and the concentration of butanone in the posts exceeding the standard was reduced from 894.2 mg/m3 (>5 OELs) to 4.4 mg/m3 (≤ 10% OELs), which was in line with the occupational exposure limit specified in the national standard. Conclusion The enterprise has successfully completed the rectification of the excessive concentration of butanone in the inkjet printer maintenance posts. It is an effective way to reduce the concentration of occupational hazards by setting up posts independently and adopting closed ventilation protection measures.

【Objective】 To clarify the concept of health literacy among children and adolescents with accidental injuries through literature review and analysis. 【Methods】 A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, VIP database, China Biomedical literature database, PubMed, CINAHL, and PscyINFO database. The literature was analyzed using Rodgers′ evolutionary concept analysis method. 【Results】 A total of 56 articles were included. The health literacy of children and adolescents with accidental injuries comprised three conceptual attributes:cognition, emotion and behavior. The influencing factors included children′s demographic factors, family and school related factors and social related factors. The result can be beneficial to reduce the occurrence of injury events, save family economic expenditure and alleviate the burden on social medical resources. However, there is currently a lack of specific measurement tools for assessing health literacy in this population, as the existing evaluation items are drawn from general health literacy scales. 【Conclusions】 The concept of health literacy among children and adolescents with accidental injuries is multifaceted and evolving. Future research should focus on exploring the characteristics of health literacy among children and adolescents of different ages and regions from their own perspectives. Additionally, efforts should be made to refine the concept and develop specialized measurement tools to facilitate further studies in this area.

Objective To investigate the impact of CCND1 on renal ischemia-reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury through the promotion of glycolysis and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanism,thereby offering a novel therapeutic target for acute kidney injury.Methods We selected 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice to establish a model of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury(IRI).To investigate the role of CCND1 in acute kidney injury(AKI),we employed a CCND1 overexpression plasmid and a CCND1 interference plasmid for both in vivo and in vitro experi-ments.Kidney function was evaluated using creatinine and urea nitrogen test kits,while glycolysis and indicators of renal tubule epithelial cell damage were assessed through quantitative real-time PCR,Western blotting,immunohis-tochemistry,and immunofluorescence techniques.Results In the model of renal ischemia-reperfusion-induced acute renal injury,down-regulation of CCND1 expression in renal tubular epithelial cells resulted in cellular and tissue damage.However,when an overexpression plasmid for CCND1 was administered in vivo,it significantly improved kidney function and reduced kidney injury in IRI mice.The overexpression of CCND1 promoted glycolysis,pyruvate production,and increased energy production.We further confirmed the role of CCND1 in vitro where its overexpres-sion promoted glycolysis,enhanced energy production,and alleviated AKI.Conversely,knockdown of CCND1 inhibited glycolysis leading to severe impairment in cell energy production and exacerbation of injury.Conclusions In summary,down-regulation of CCND1 expression in renal tubular epithelial cells is observed in acute kidney injury,while overexpression of CCND1 can ameliorate acute kidney injury induced by renal ischemia-reperfusion.This mechanism may be attributed to the promotion of glycolysis and timely restoration of energy supply to cells and tissues facilitated by CCND1 overexpression.
