Objective To compare the differences of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided non-invasive measurement of portal venous pressure and EUS-guided portal pressure gradient(EUS-PPG) in measurement of portal venous pressure on animals and their correlation. Methods Twenty-four miniature pigs were selected and fed with carbon tetrachloride and phenobarbital sodium combined with high-fat,low-protein and low-choline diet for 16 weeks to establish a liver cirrhotic portal hypertension model. The changes of biochemical indexes of liver function and liver pathology in the experimental pigs were observed to evaluate whether the model was successful. After the model was successfully established,the hemodynamic parameters of the portal venous trunk were measured non-invasively under EUS guidance,including portal venous blood flow and splenic artery pulsatility index,thereby calculating portal venous pressure. Then,taking EUS-PPG,the portal vein,hepatic vein,and inferior vena cava were punctured with an 18G puncture needle under general anesthesia guided by the translinear endoscopic ultrasound,and the PPG was calculated through the central venous pressure monitoring system.The Pearson correlation analysis,Kappa test,ICC intraclass correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman plot were used for consistency analysis. Results All the 24 pigs survived 16 weeks after modeling.The serum levels of alanine transaminase (ALT),aspartate transaminase (AST),albumin (ALB),globulin (GLB),total bilirubin (TBIL) and indirect bilirubin (IBIL)after modeling were higher than those before modeling(P<0.05). HE staining and Sirius red staining showed abnormal liver morphology and increased collagen fibers after modeling,suggesting that the experimental pig model of liver cirrhotic portal hypertension was successfully established. The results of EUS-guided non-invasive measurement of portal venous pressure showed that the mean splenic artery pulsatility index was (2.03±0.68),the mean portal vein flow was (17.27±4.31)cm/s,and the mean portal venous pressure was (15.97±3.65)mmHg. The measurement results of the mean portal venous pressure,hepatic venous pres-sure and PPG of EUS-PPG were (20.68±4.71)mmHg,(4.07±2.14)mmHg and (16.38±4.28)mmHg respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the portal venous pressures measured by the two methods (r=0.902,P<0.001);the consistency tests of Kappa test and ICC intraclass correlation coefficient showed that the measurement results of the two methods were highly consistent (Kappa=0.699,P<0.001;ICC=0.945);Bland-Altman plot analysis showed that most of the points fell within 95% limits of agreement. Conclusion EUS-guided non-invasive measurement of portal venous pressure has a high correlation and consistency with the measurement results by EUS-PPG,which has high success rate,and accurate reflection of portal venous pressure,with low cost and good safety.

Objective To investigate the effect of platelet lysate on mitochondrial function of astrocytes after spinal cord injury.Methods Astrocytoma cells SVGp12 were incubated with different concentrations of H2O2 (100 μmol/L,400 μmol/L,1000 μmol/L,2000 μmol/L),and the OD value was determined by CCK-8 assay. The H2O2 concentration with a cell inhibition rate of about 50% was selected for follow-up experiments. The cells were incubated with different concentrations of platelet lysate (the volume ratios of platelet lysate to culture medium were 1∶10,1∶40,1∶80,1∶160 and 1∶320) for 24 hours,and the OD value was determined,thereby selecting the optimal concentration of platelet lysate based on the cell survival rate. SVGp12 cells were divided into the normal group (cultured normally without special treat-ment),the model group (incubated with 1000 μmol/L of H2O2 for 3 hours),and the treatment group (incubated with 1000 μmol/L of H2O2 for 3 hours and then treated with platelet lysate at a volume ratio of 1∶80). The mitochondrial function was evaluated by mitochondrial activity staining,mitochondrial membrane potential detection,and mitochondrial permeability transition pore detection. Results After incubating cells with 1000 μmol/L of H2O2 for 3 hours,the cell inhibition rate was 48%,and the OD value decreased significantly (P<0.01),confirming the successful establishment of a model of astrocytes with spinal cord injury. After treated with different concentrations of platelet lysate,the OD values and cell survival rate of the cells were higher than those in the model group (P<0.05). The concentration of platelet lysate (volume ratio of 1∶80) with cell viability of 20% was selected for follow-up experiments. Platelet lysate could improve the morphology of injured astrocytes. The mitochondrial activity of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the model group,and the mitochondrial activity of the model group was significantly lower than that of the normal group,with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The mitochondrial membrane potential in the model group was lower than that in the normal group,and the mitochondrial membrane potential in the treatment group was higher than that in the model group,with statistically significant differences (P<0.01). The mitochondrial permeability in the model group was greater than that in the normal group,and the mitochondrial permeability in the treatment group was smaller than that in the model group,with statistically significant differences (P<0.01).Conclusion Platelet lysate can improve the survival rate of astrocytes after spinal cord injury,enhance the mitochondrial activity of cells,and improve the mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening.

Sennoside A (SA), a typical prodrug, exerts its laxative effect only after its transformation into rheinanthrone catalyzed by gut microbial hydrolases and reductases. Hydrolases have been identified, but reductases remain unknown. By linking a photoreactive group to the SA scaffold, we synthesized a photoaffinity probe to covalently label SA reductases and identified SA reductases using activity-based protein profiling (ABPP). From lysates of an active strain, Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum (B. pseudocatenulatum), 397 proteins were enriched and subsequently identified using mass spectrometry (MS). Among these proteins, chromate reductase/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) phosphate (NADPH)-dependent flavin mononucleotide (FMN) reductase/oxygen-insensitive NADPH nitroreductase (nfrA) was identified as a potent SA reductase through further bioinformatic analysis and The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) database screening. We also determined that recombinant nfrA could reduce SA. Our study contributes to further illuminating mechanisms of SA transformation to rheinanthrone and simultaneously offers an effective method to identify gut bacterial reductases.
