Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect and potential mechanism of Nepetoidin B on rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:DBA/1 mice were divided into four groups using the random number method, namely the control group, model group, methotrexate group, and Nepetoidin B group. The collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model was prepared. Mice were treated from day 21th to day 60th. Arthritis symptoms were evaluated every three days during treatment. At the end of treatment, pathological changes of joint tissue were observed through HE staining. Serum IL-17, IL-6, MDA, and NO levels were measured using ELISA and biochemical colorimetric assays. The Nrf2/HO1 pathway in joint tissues was detected using western blot. A group of CIA mice was treated with Nepetoidin B, followed by an Nrf2 inhibitor to validate the mechanism. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare between multiple groups with homogeneity of variance, pairwise comparison using LSD- t test. Results:The study found that mice treated with methotrexate and Nepetoidin B exhibited a significant reduction in arthritis scores(CIA+Meth group 5.2±1.3, CIA+NepB group 6.8±1.2 vs. CIA group 11.0±1.7, t=6.69, P=0.004; t=5.00, P=0.009), and joint histopathology compared to the CIA mice(CIA+Meth group 1.5±1.0, CIA+NepB group 2.2±0.8 vs. CIA group 4.0±0.9, t=4.44, P<0.001; t=3.84, P=0.005). Additionally, there was a significant decrease in serum IL-17[CIA+Meth group(257±69)ng/ml, CIA+NepB group (279±103)ng/ml vs. CIA group(414±71)ng/ml, t=3.86, P=0.006; t=2.63, P=0.020], IL-6[CIA+Meth group(32±6)ng/ml, CIA+NepB group (44±5)ng/ml vs. CIA group(56±11)ng/ml, t=4.69, P<0.001; t=2.48, P=0.040) ,MDA [CIA+Meth group(22±4)μmol/L, CIA+NepB group(22±8)μmol/L vs. CIA group(34±11)μmol/L, t=2.77, P=0.038; t=2.29, P=0.049]and NO[ CIA+Meth group(37±12)μmol/L, CIA+NepB group(37±11)μmol/L vs. CIA group(56±12)μmol/L, t=2.71, P=0.040; t=2.90, P=0.035] levels, and a significant elevation in the Nrf2( 0.263±0.021, 0.273±0.022 vs. 0.221±0.034, t=3.18, P=0.044; t=2.70, P=0.049)/HO1 (0.524±0.021, 0.501±0.014 vs. 0.453±0.033, t=3.95, P=0.006; t=3.41, P=0.032) pathway in methotrexate and Nepetoidin B treated group. It was also observed that Nrf2 inhibitors could counteract the treatment effects of Nepetoidin B on arthritis (1.8±0.8 vs. 3.2±0.8, t=3.07, P=0.024). Conclusion:Nepetoidin B has the ability to inhibit oxidative stress by activating the Nrf2/HO1 pathway, which alleviates collagen-induced arthritis in mice.

BackgroundFunctional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a new generation of imaging tool that can be used to assist the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders. However, whether the patterns of prefrontal cortex activation observed by fNIRS are specific for different psychiatric disorders remains to be explored. ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics of prefrontal cortex activation in patients with depression, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in verbal fluency task (VFT) using fNIRS. MethodsFrom September to December 2021, 39 patients with schizophrenia, 205 patients with depressive disorder, 212 patients with anxiety disorder and 77 patients with bipolar disorder meeting the diagnostic criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) were recruited in the outpatient and inpatient department of West China Hospital, Sichuan University. fNIRS was used to monitor the prefrontal cortex hemodynamic changes of patients under VFT, and the clinical symptoms of patients were assessed by Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and Hypomania Checklist-32 items(HCL-32). Differences in mean oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) concentration and the initial slope from 2 to 7 second during VFT were compared among patients with different diseases, and the correlation between mean HbO2 concentration/initial slope and clinical symptoms was analyzed by partial correlation analysis. ResultsThe concentration of HbO2 in channel 4 (Z=2.828, P=0.028) and channel 6 (Z=2.912, P=0.022) in patients with depression were significantly higher than those in patients with schizophrenia. Patients with anxiety had significantly higher changes in mean HbO2 concentration in channel 4 (Z=3.154, P=0.010), channel 5 (Z=3.021, P=0.015), channel 6 (Z=2.980, P=0.017) and of all channels (Z=2.881, P=0.024) than those of schizophrenia patients. There was a statistically significant difference in the initial slope of channel 3 between patients with depressive disorder and those with bipolar disorder (Z=2.691, P=0.039). Among patients with bipolar disorder, the anger-hostility scores of SCL-90 were negatively correlated with the mean HbO2 concentration changes in channel 4 (r=-0.505, P=0.004), channel 6 (r=-0.390, P=0.004), channel 15 (r=-0.546, P=0.002), channel 16 (r=-0.550, P=0.002) and the mean HbO2 concentration changes of all channels (r=-0.491, P=0.006). ConclusionPatients with schizophrenia had lower activation in frontopolar and orbitofrontal region than patients with depression and anxiety disorder, and the initial slope of the right frontopolar, inferior frontal and orbitofrontal region in patients with depression is higher than patients with bipolar disorder. In addition, patients with bipolar disorder had less activation in the frontopolar and orbitofrontal lobe, the insular cover of Broca's area and the upper outer frontal cortex, and were more irritable and hostile.

Background; Sucralfate is a commonly used gastric mucosal protector in clinical practice. It can be dissociated into aluminum hydroxide and sucrose sulfate under the action of gastric acid. As a topical agent, sucralfate is mainly excreted with feces, and the tiny amount of sucralfate absorbed in gastrointestinal tract is excreted with urine in the form of disaccharide sulfate. Aims; To study the effect and safety of a domestic made oral sucralfate suspensoid gel on blood aluminum concentration. Methods; Twenty-three healthy volunteers participated in this study from June 2021 to September 2021 at the Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. All subjects received sucralfate suspensoid gel daily (1 h before breakfast in the morning, and before bedtime in the evening, 1 g each time) for 2 weeks. Blood samples were collected on day 1 (before sucralfate administration) and day 15 (after medication completion) for determination of blood aluminum concentration. Any adverse events (including abnormal laboratory indicators) were recorded. Results: No significant difference was existed in mean blood aluminum concentration of the healthy subjects between time points before and after sucralfate administration [(47. 66 ± 15. 64) μg/L vs. (39. 12 ± 2 0. 42) μg/L, P > 0. 0 5]. All the blood aluminum values after medication were within the reference range (70 μ g/L), so did the blood routine, urine routine and blood biochemical indicators before and after medication. No severe adverse events were reported. Conclusions; The domestic made sucralfate suspensoid gel used in this study for 2 weeks has no adverse effect on blood aluminum concentration in healthy subjects. It is considered to be safe and reliable, and is worthy for clinical application.

Objective To investigate the role of mucosal mast cells infiltration and degranulation with nerve growth factor (NGF)in development of visceral hypersensitivity in Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats. Methods The model of visceral hypersensitivity of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)was established in 19 neonate SD rats with intestinal stimulation (rectalballon distention)on 8th,10th and 12th postnatal days. The other 19 neonate SD rats without colonic distention were assigned to the control group.After rats grew up (six to eight weeks old),the visceral sensitivity was tested by abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR)in 10 rats of each group.Mast cell infiltration and degranulation were observed with toluidine blue staining in colon tissue slides.The NGF level of intestinal tissues was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)methods in the left nine rats of each group.The culture system of dorsal root ganglias (DRG)from the neonatal rats was set up.The changes of electrophysilogical characters of DRG stimulated with NGF (100 ng/mL)for four days were recorded with patch-clamp.Paired t test was performed for comparison between groups.Results The results of AWR indicated that neonatal colonic stimulation could significantly increase visceral sensitivity after growing up.Under 20,40 and 60 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)distention pressure,visceral sensitivity scores of visceral hypersensitivity rats and rats of control group were 1 .00±0.50 vs 1 .67 ±0.50,1 .89 ±0.31 vs 2.89 ±0.34 and 2.89 ±0.33 vs 3.89±0.33,the differences were statistically significant (t=-2.83,-6.00 and -6.00,all P <0.05 ). The results of master cells staining in tissue slides showed colonic master cells infiltration was obvious in rats with visceral hypersensitivity,and part of mast cells were degranulation.The result of ELISA demonstrated that NGF level of visceral hypersensitivity rats was significantly higher than that of control group ((11.07±3.06)pg/mg vs (2.38 ±1.88)pg/mg,t =-6.93,P <0.05).The results of electrophysilogical tests of primary cultured DRG indicated that compared with blank control growp,the action potential threshold of neuron in NGF 100 ng/mL group significantly decreased ((-18.0±2.1 )mV vs (-29.0 ± 2.5 )mV,t = 12.26,P <0.05)and discharge frequency increased ((5 .0± 1 .4 )/800 ms vs (12.0 ± 3.2)/800 ms,t=-8.40,P <0.05 ).Meanwhile,neuron voltage-gated K+ current density remarkably decreased,most were sustained delayed rectifier K+ current (I K )decreasing ((279.0 ±48.0)pA/pF vs (203.0±39.0)pA/pF,t=6.18,P <0.05).Conclusion Colonic stimulation in neonatal rats could cause intestinal master cells infiltration and degranulation,which induced changes of neuron electrophysilogical characters and resulted in visceral hypersensitivity after growing up.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mesalazine modified-release tablets in the treatment of mild and moderate active ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods This study was a multicenter,single-blinded and randomized controlled study.A total of 251 active UC patients in 18 hospitals were enrolled into this study from November 2010 to January 2012.The subjects were divided into the mesalazine modified-release tablets group (n=123) and the mesalazine enteric-coated tablets group (n=128),three times daily,each of which took mesalazine modified-release tablets or mesalazine enteric coated tablets 800 mg,respectively,and the course of treatment was eight weeks.The difference of UC disease activity index (UC-DAI),UC-DAI at the beginning minus UC-DAI at the final evaluation,was calculated at final evaluation.And this was the primary efficacy parameter.Complete remission rate and effective rate were considered as the secondary efficacy parameter.Adverse drug reactions rates of two groups were calculated and taken as safety evalution.If the lower limit of the 95 % confidence interval was more than-0.1 in the difference of the decrease in UC-DAI between the two groups,the non-inferiority of mesalazine modified release tablets to mesalazine enteric-coated tablets was demonstrated.The analysis of covariance model was used for the primary efficacy parameter and the sub-group analysis.And chisquare test was used for the comparison between the two groups in the secondary efficacy parameter and in the adverse drug reactions.Results At the final evaluation,the decrease in UC-DAI of mesalazine modified-release tablets group was 2.84 and that of mesalazine enteric-coated tablets group was 2.56.The reduction degree was 0.27.The lower limit of the 95 % confidence interval in the difference of the decrease in UC DAI between the two groups was-0.34,which demonstrated the non-inferiority of mesalazine modified release tablets to mesalazine enteric-coated tablets.The complete remission rates of mesalazine modified release tablets group and mesalazine enteric-coated tablets group were 48.33% (58/120) and 55.65% (69/124) and the effective rates were 63.33% (76/120) and 66.94% (83/124),and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (all P> 0.05).At final evaluation,the decrease in UC DAI of mild patients (UC DAI 3 to 5 at enrollment) of mesalazine modified-release tablets group and mesalazine enteric-coated tablets group were 2.16 and 2.05,respectively; the difference of mesalazine modified release tablets group and mesalazine enteric coated tablets group of reduction degree of UC-DAI was 0.11,that of moderate patients (UC-DAI 6 to 8 at enrollment) were 3.49 and 3.03,respectively,the difference of mesalazine modified-release tablets group and mesalazine enteric-coated tablets group of reduction degree of UC DAI was 0.46,and there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (all P>0.05).The adverse drug reactions rates of mesalazine modified-release tablets group and mesalazine enteric coated tablets group were 6.61% (8/121) and 10.24% (13/127),and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P> 0.05).No serious adverse drug reactions were found in two groups.Conclusion Mesalazine modified release tablets has good efficacy and high safety in the treatment of mild to moderate active UC.
