ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of Bushen Zhuyun prescription （BSZY） on abortion rats with kidney deficiency-corpus luteum inhibition syndrome. MethodsAn abortion rat model with kidney deficiency-corpus luteum inhibition syndrome was constructed. Pregnant mice aged 8-10 weeks were randomly divided into a control group （Control）， a model group （Model）， low-dose BSZY （BSZY-L）， medium-dose BSZY （BSZY-M）， and high-dose BSZY （BSZY-H） groups （2.57， 5.14， 10.28 g·kg^-¹）， and a Zishen Yutai Pill （ZSYT） group （1.575 g·kg^-¹）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to evaluate histopathological changes in ovarian and decidual tissue of rats in each group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to measure levels of estrogen （E₂）， progesterone （P）， luteinizing hormone （LH）， prolactin （PRL）， and follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH） in serum. The candidate targets of BSZY were obtained from the Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Platform （TCMSP） and Integrative Pharmacology-based Research Platform of Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCMIP） v2.0 databases， while disease targets for recurrent spontaneous abortion （RSA） were retrieved from GeneCards， DrugBank， Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man （OMIM）， and Therapeutic Target Database （TTD）. The intersection targets were identified by the Venny 2.1.0 platform. Pathway enrichment analysis was conducted based on the Metascape database to predict the potential mechanisms of BSZY. Additionally. Western blot was used to verify the effects of BSZY on the expression of estrogen receptor （ERα）， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）， and protein kinase B （Akt） and explore its protective mechanism on RSA rats. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group exhibited significantly decreased uterine， ovarian， and embryonic wet weights （P<0.05， P<0.01）， with an abortion rate of 57.18%. The ovarian tissue showed varying degrees of reduction in primordial follicles， primary follicles， mature follicles， and corpora lutea， along with a large number of atretic follicles. The endometrium was thinner， and decidual tissue exhibited cellular edema and disorganized arrangement. In contrast， compared with the model group， the BSZY groups at all doses and the ZSYT group demonstrated increased uterine， ovarian， and embryonic wet weights， along with a reduced abortion rate. The number of primordial follicles， primary follicles， mature follicles， and corpora lutea increased， while atretic follicles decreased. The endometrium thickened， and decidual tissue displayed normal cellular structure with tight arrangement. Additionally， the model group showed significantly decreased levels of E₂， P， PRL， and FSH in serum （P<0.05， P<0.01）， along with a decreasing trend in LH level. In contrast， the BSZY groups at all doses exhibited significantly elevated levels of E₂， P， LH， PRL， and FSH in serum （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Network pharmacology predictions suggested that BSZY may exert protective effects against abortion in rats by activating the ERα/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Western blot results confirmed that BSZY significantly upregulated the expression of ERα， PI3K， and p-Akt proteins （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionBSZY has a protective effect on the abortion rats with kidney deficiency-corpus luteum inhibition syndrome， possibly by activating the ERα/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to reduce ovarian apoptosis and regulate endocrine function， thereby lowering the abortion rate.

OBJECTIVE:This paper collects relevant literature on blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training,and analyzes the different effects of blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training on athletes'muscle-related indexes and specialized abilities in accordance with the paradigm of systematic evaluation and Meta-analysis,aiming to provide data support for athletes to utilize blood flow restriction training in their training practices. METHODS:Chinese and foreign databases(CNKI,WanFang,PubMed,Web of Science,SPORTDiscus)were searched to collect randomized controlled trials on the effects of blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training on limb circumference,muscle mass,muscle strength,and specialized ability of college athletes from January 1st,2000 to October 12th,2023.At least two researchers evaluated the quality of the included literature using the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias assessment tools and criteria.Heterogeneity tests,data merging,subgroup analyses,forest plotting,and sensitivity analyses were performed using RevMan 5.4,and funnel plots with publication bias evaluation and sensitivity analyses were performed.The evaluation indexes were limb circumference,muscle thickness,muscle strength and specialized ability,and subgroup analyses were performed for different specialized athletic abilities. RESULTS:(1)A total of 18 randomized controlled trials with 403 subjects were included,and according to the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias assessment tool,the quality of literature in the included literature was grade A in 16 articles and grade B in 2 articles.(2)Comparing the effects of blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training and resistance training,there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of limb circumference[standardized mean difference(SMD)=0.03,95%confidence interval:-0.16-0.21,P=0.78],and a significant difference between the two groups in terms of muscle thickness(SMD=0.14,95%CI:0.01-0.27,P=0.03)and muscle strength(SMD=0.37,95%CI:0.14-0.60,P=0.001).(3)Subgroup analyses of the indicators of specialized capacity indicated that there was high heterogeneity in the analyzed results of distance metrics(I2=73%)and time metrics(I2=55%),which was analyzed as a possible reason due to the differences in testing methods and assessment of metrics'significance in the studies;there was no heterogeneity(I2=0%)in the analyzed results of power metrics;blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training had a significant effect on distance metrics(P<0.01).(4)The results of the combined effect showed the effect of blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training vs.resistance training for specialized ability(P=0.41),suggesting that there is no significant effect of different training methods on specialized ability. CONCLUSION:Both blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training and resistance training can promote muscle thickness,muscle strength and specialized ability in college athletes.Meanwhile,blood flow restriction training combined with resistance training has a more significant effect on muscle thickness,muscle strength and some specialized abilities compared with resistance training.Therefore,blood flow restriction training can be scientifically and rationally integrated into specialized training,so as to achieve a better training effect by integrating the differentiated physiological stimuli to the muscles.However,due to the small number of included studies and other possible limitations,more high-quality,multi-sport type and sex randomized trials need to be included in the future to confirm this.

Objective : To illuminate the distribution of brucellosis patients and the epidemic typologies as well as the genetic attributes of brucellosis in Bozhou City,Anhui Province,thereby furnishing a substantive foundation for formulating efficacious prevention and control strategies for this disease within the region. Methods : The rose bengal plate agglutination test(RBPT) and the tube agglutination test(TAT) were conducted on a total of 698 blood samples that had been collected.Epidemiological data of the tested subjects were meticulously collected,followed by statistical analyses of the obtained results.The genomic DNA of positive bacterial strains was cultured and extracted.Molecular identification and typing of the isolated strains were executed through 16 S rRNA sequencing.Sequence alignment was conducted employing Clustal W and MEGA 7,with comparisons made against the outcomes of AMOS-PCR and BCSP31-PCR. Results : A total of 66 positive samples were detected through serological assays,with a positive rate of 9.46%.The demographic cohort demonstrating the highest detection rate primarily comprised individuals engaged in live sheep slaughtering.The 1 6 S rRNA gene sequencing on ten positive strains disclosed close phylogenetic affinities with Brucella melitensis.Moreover,the phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that these strains coalesced within the same branch,the findings were in alignment with the results obtained from BCSP31-PCR and AMOS-PCR assays. Conclusion Brucella melitensis assumes a predominant position in the transmission dynamics within this area,identifying individuals involved in sheep breeding,slaughtering,vending,and related occupations as high-risk groups.The outcomes of this study offer molecular biological substantiation for the distribution of brucellosis patients in this region,contribute to genotyping endeavors and tracing studies associated with the pathogen,and concurrently verify the efficacy of 16S rRNA molecular tracing.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of metabolic indicators in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and the potential relationship between AR and metabolic syndrome (MetS).Methods:A total of 179 patients with MetS admitted to the Dahua Hospital in Xuhui District, Shanghai, from June 2021 to May 2024 were retrospectively included. They were divided into an AR group (69 cases) and a non-AR group (110 cases) based on the presence of AR. Clinical data including demographic information, metabolic indicators, and immunological test results were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify clinical risk factors associated with MetS complicated with AR, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed. The model′s discriminative ability, calibration, and clinical predictive performance were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, consistency index (C-index), and decision curve analysis.Results:The AR group had a significantly higher proportion of males, fasting C-peptide levels, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, CD4/CD8 ratio, immunoglobulin M, immunoglobulin E, CD3 cell count, CD4 cell count, and interleukin-6 levels compared to the non-AR group, while hip circumference was significantly lower (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that male sex ( OR=2.156, P=0.042), total cholesterol ( OR=1.504, P=0.003), fasting C-peptide ( OR=3.342, P=0.016), CD4 cell count ( OR=1.002, P=0.011), and interleukin-6 ( OR=1.124, P=0.002) were risk factors for AR in MetS patients, while hip circumference ( OR=0.956, P=0.026) was a protective factor. The area under the ROC curve of the nomogram model was 0.771(95% CI: 0.698-0.841), and the C-index was 0.769(95% CI: 0.732-0.806), indicating good predictive ability and consistency of the model. Conclusions:The occurrence of AR is closely associated with multiple metabolic indicators, suggesting that AR may not only be a local inflammatory condition but also involve systemic metabolic abnormalities. The nomogram model based on these risk factors can be used for individualized risk assessment and early intervention.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are one of the sources of adipocytes and express all renin-angiotensin system components,but the effect of angiotensin Ⅱ on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into brown adipose tissue is not clear.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of angiotensin Ⅱ on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into brown adipose tissue and investigate the role of angiotensin 1a receptor knockout in effect of angiotensin Ⅱ on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into brown adipocytes and its potential mechanisms.METHODS:After isolation and culture of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in wild-type and angiotensin 1a receptor knockout SD rats,the cells were cultured to the third generation and randomly divided into four groups:wild type group,knockout group,wild type+angiotensin Ⅱ group,and knockout+angiotensin Ⅱ group.The differentiation was induced in the brown fat induced differentiation medium for 14 days.Angiotensin Ⅱ(100 nmol/L)was added for intervention when the differentiation medium was changed each time in the latter two groups.Western blot assay,qRT-PCR,immunofluorescence,and other methods were used to detect the expression of induced differentiation,lipolysis,β oxidation,and mitochondrial biogenesis in brown fat.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Angiotensin Ⅱ could inhibit the browning of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Knockout of angiotensin 1a receptor could improve the inhibitory effect of angiotensin Ⅱ on brown lipid formation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by promoting lipolysis,enhancing fatty acid β oxidation,promoting mitochondrial biogenesis,and enhancing mitochondrial function.These findings provide new research directions and potential therapeutic targets for obesity treatment,revealing the important role of renin angiotensin systems in fat metabolism and its potential as a therapeutic target.
