Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of astragaloside Ⅳ(AS-Ⅳ)on cisplatin(CDDP)-induced liver injury in the mice,and to elucidate its possible mechanism.Methods:Forty male C57BL/6 mice with body weights of 18-22 g were randomly divided into control group,model group,AS-Ⅳ group and adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)inhibitor(Compound C)+AS-Ⅳ group.The mice in control group and model group were gavaged with the same volume of normal saline,and the drug was administered continuously for 9 d.The mice in AS-Ⅳ group and Compound C+AS-Ⅳ group were given AS-Ⅳ aqueous solution(150 mg·kg-1·d-1),respectively.On the 6th day of experiment,the mice in Compound C+AS-Ⅳ group were intraperitoneally injected with Compound C(20 mg·kg-1),and on the 7th day,except for control group,the mice in other groups were intraperitoneally injected with 20 mg·kg-1 CDDP to establish the mouse liver injury models,and the mice were sacrificed 48 h later.Serum and liver tissues were collected,and the levels of aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)in the serum of the mice,as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and catalase(CAT)and the levels of malondialdehyde(MDA)in the liver tissue of the mice in various groups were detected by kits.The pathomorphology of liver tissue of the mice in various groups were detected by HE staining.The expression levels of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4),ferritin heavy chain 1(FTH1)and ferroptosis inhibitory protein 1(FSP1)proteins in liver tissue of the mice in various groups were detected by immunohistochemical staining,and the expression levels of nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2(Nrf2),heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)and AMPK proteins in liver tissue of the mice in various groups were detected by Western blotting method.Results:Compared with control group,the levels of AST and ALT in serum of the mice in model group were increased(P＜0.01),the activities of SOD and CAT in the liver tissue were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),and the MDA level was increased(P＜0.01);compared with model group,the levels of AST and ALT in serum of the mice in AS-Ⅳ group were decreased(P＜0.01),the MDA level in the liver tissue was decreased(P＜0.01),and the activities of SOD and CAT were increased(P＜0.01);compared with AS-Ⅳ group(P＜0.01),the levels of AST and ALT in serum of the mice in Compound C+AS-Ⅳ group were increased(P＜0.01),the level of MDA in liver tissue was increased(P＜0.05),and the activities SOD and CAT were decreased(P＜0.01).The HE staining results showed that compared with control group,the liver damage degree of the mice in model group was enhanced,the hepatocyte arrangement was disordered,and some hepatocyte edema were increased;compared with model group,the liver morphology of the mice in AS-Ⅳ group returned to normal;compared with AS-Ⅳ group,the hepatocyte arrangement of the mice in Compound C+AS-Ⅳ group was disordered and the edges were blurred.The immunohistochemistry results showed that compared with control group,the expression levels of GPX4,FTH1 and FSP1 proteins in liver tissue of the mice in model group were decreased(P＜0.05);compared with model group,the expression levels of GPX4,FTH1 and FSP1 proteins in liver tissue of the mice in AS-Ⅳ group were increased(P＜0.05);compared with AS-Ⅳ group,the expression levels of GPX4,FTH1 and FSP1 proteins in liver tissue of the mice in Compound C+AS-Ⅳ group were decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The Western blotting results showed that compared with control group,the expression levels of Nrf2,HO-1 and AMPK proteins in liver tissue of the mice in model group were decreased(P＜0.01);compared with model group,the expression levels of Nrf2,HO-1 and AMPK proteins in liver tissue of the mice in AS-Ⅳgroup were increased(P＜0.01);compared with AS-Ⅳ group,the expression levels of Nrf2,HO-1 and AMPK proteins in liver tissue of the mice in Compound C+AS-Ⅳ group were decreased(P＜0.01).Conclusion:AS-Ⅳ can alleviate the CDDP-induced liver injury,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of AMPK/Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway and ferroptosis by AS-Ⅳ.

Objective:To observe the effects of Qizhi Tongluo Prescription on renal interstitial fibrosis in rats with membranous nephropathy based on the Shh/Gli1 signaling pathway; To explore its intervention mechanism.Methods:Totally 60 male SD rats were divided into blank group ( n=10) and model group ( n=50) using random number table method. The model of membranous nephropathy was established according to the modified Border method. The successfully modeling rats were divided into model group, benazepril group and Qizhi Tongluo Prescription low-, medium- and high-dosage groups using random number table method. Benazepril group was gavaged with benazepril hydrochloride 10 mg/kg, Qizhi Tongluo Prescription low-, medium- and high-dosage groups were gavaged with Qizhi Tongluo Prescription solution 1.22 g/kg, 2.43 g/kg and 4.86 g/kg, and blank group and model group were gavaged with equal volume of normal saline, once a day, for 4 weeks. The 24-hour urine was collected to detect the 24-hour urinary protein quantification, and the blood was taken from the abdominal aorta to detect the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride(TG), and serum albumin(ALB); the pathological changes of rat kidney were observed by light microscope and transmission electron microscope; the protein expressions of sonic hedgehog factor (Shh), zinc finger protein 1 (Gli1) and α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) in renal tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry; the protein expressions of Shh, Gli1, α-SMA, TGF-β1, Collagen Ⅳ and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAl-1) in renal tissues were detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with the model group, the quantitative level of 24-hour urinary protein of rats in each administration group decreased ( P<0.05), serum TC and TG levels increased ( P<0.05), ALB level decreased ( P<0.05), the positive expressions of Shh, Gli1, α-SMA protein in renal tissue decreased ( P<0.05), and the protein expressions of Shh, Gli1, α-SMA, Collagen Ⅳ, TGF-β1, PAI-1 in renal tissue decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Qizhi Tongluo Prescription can improve renal interstitial fibrosis in membranous nephropathy rats, possibly by inhibiting the Shh/Gli1 signaling pathway to delay renal interstitial fibrosis.

Objective To analyze the status quo and high-risk factors of hemorrhagic transformation(HT)in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI)treated with alteplase(rt-PA).Methods A total of 462 patients with ACI who were admitted to Hai'an People's Hospital and treated with rt-PA from June 2019 to June 2023 were retrospectively emrolled.According to the occurrence of HT,the patients were assigned to HT group(n=31)or non-HT group(n=431).The clinical data of the two groups were compared,and high-risk factors of HT in ACI patients treated with rt-PA were analyzed.Results The incidence of HT was 6.71%(31/462).Multivariate logistic analysis showed that increased systolic blood pressure(SBP),severe cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD),and increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)were the high-risk factors of HT in patients with ACI after treatment with rt-PA(P＜0.05).Conclusion There is a high incidence of HT in patients with ACI after treatment with rt-PA,the levels of SBP,CSVD and NLR are the influencing factors,and they can provide a basis for prediction and clinical intervention.

The uniqueness of the location of large general hospitals in urban areas determines that the contradiction between space constraints and medical expansion has become a problem of management bottleneck.The situation that expert visits are too concentrated on a certain working day morning has been significantly improved by carrying out peak load shifting in the visiting arrangements and visiting units of large general hospitals through the Total Quality Management theory and continuous improvement of work mode,greatly alleviating public transportation congestion around the hospital.Through the internal construction of the quality of outpatient clinics,it can effectively improve the patients'sense of access to health care.
