Objective To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of total flavonoids of sarcandra glabra(TFFSG)on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)and their derived exosomes in immune thrombo-cytopenia(ITP),with a focus on promoting megakaryocyte differentiation and maturation.Methods BMSCs induced by rabbit anti-rat platelet serum(APS)were divided into five groups:a blank control group,an ITP-BMSCs model group,and three TFFSG intervention groups with low(1.95 μg/mL),medium(3.90 μg/mL),and high doses(7.80 μg/mL).The apoptosis rates and the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins-B-cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-associated X protein(BAX),and Cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-3(Caspase-3)-were assessed.Exosomes were isolated from the blank control group(NC-BMSCs-Exos),the ITP-BMSCs model group(ITP-BMSCs-Exos),and the medium-dose TFFSG group(TFFSG-BMSCs-Exos).Each group's exosomes(5 μg/mL)were co-cultured with megakaryocytic lineage Dami cells for 96 hours.Flow cytometry was employed to evaluate the expression of megakaryocytic differentiation markers(CD41a,CD42b,CD61)and the proportion of polyploid cells(≥4 N)in each group.Western Blot analysis was conducted to examine the expression of p-MEK1/2,MEK1/2,p-ERK1/2,and ERK1/2 across all groups.Results Compared with the ITP-BMSCs model group,the apoptosis rates in all TFFSG intervention groups were significantly reduced(P<0.01).In the medium-and high-dose TFFSG groups,BAX and Caspase-3 expression levels were markedly downregulated,whereas Bcl-2 expression was upregulated(P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with the ITP-BMSCs-Exos group,the TFFSG-BMSCs-Exos group demonstrated increased expression of CD41a+,CD42b+,and CD61+,a higher proportion of polyploid cells(≥4 N)(P<0.05),as well as elevated ratios of p-MEK1/2 to MEK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 to ERK1/2(P<0.05).Conclusion TFFSG inhibits apopto-sis of ITP-state BMSCs in vitro and promotes megakaryocyte differentiation and polyploidization maturation through BMSC-derived exosomes by activating the MEK1/2-ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the potential effects of sleep deprivation on lactic acid metabolism and cognitive function in mice.Methods:Twelve SPF-grade BALB/c mice were randomly divided into a normal control group and a sleep deprivation group using a random number table, with 6 mice in each group. The horizontal platform method was used to establish a mouse sleep deprivation model. The Morris water maze was employed to assess cognitive ability, including initial quadrant residence time, platform crossing times, escape latency, and total swimming distance. Serum lactic acid levels and inflammatory factors such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were also detected.Results:There was no significant difference in body weight between the two groups before and after sleep deprivation (all P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the sleep deprivation group showed prolonged residence time in the initial quadrant, significantly shorter residence time in the target quadrant, and fewer platform crossings (all P<0.05). Escape latency and total swimming distance in the sleep deprivation group were significantly longer than those in the control group (all P<0.01). Serum lactic acid levels and inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α in the sleep deprivation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Sleep deprivation impairs cognitive ability in mice, accompanied by significant increases in lactic acid and inflammatory factors.

The incidence of leukemia,a malignant cancer originating from the hematopoietic system,is increasing annually.Although traditional treatment method such as chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation have improved patient survival rates to some extent,serious side effects,drug tolerance,and high recurrence rates remain.In recent years,studies have shown that the gut microbiota and its metabolites play an important role in the occurrence,development,and complications of leukemia.Imbalance of the gut microbiota can lead to decreased immune function and an intensified inflammatory response,which is a key factor driving disease progression.Some metabolites,such as short-chain fatty acids,enhance immune function and improve patient prognosis through intestinal barrier repair,while others,such as hydrogen sulfide and bile acids,show potential anti-tumor effects exerted through regulation of tumor cell apoptosis and immune balance.Traditional Chinese medicine aimed at regulating the structure of the gut microbiota and its metabolites has shown great potential in alleviating the side effects of chemotherapy for leukemia.This review covers the role of the gut microbiota and its metabolites in the occurrence,development,and complications of leukemia,and explores treatment strategies for regulating the microbiota,including fecal microbiota transplantation,probiotics,and traditional Chinese medicine intervention.We anticipate that this review will serve as a reference for improving the treatment and prognosis of leukemia.

Objective:To investigate the effects of dagliprazin combined with olmesartan ester on the expression of Plin and miR-26a in renal tissues of diabetic nephropathy rats.Methods:Sixty male SD rats were selected and fed adaptively for 1 week, then fed high-fat and high-sugar diet for 2 months, and then injected streptozotocin (STZ) 30 mg/kg for modeling. They were given 10 mg/kg daaglizin intragastric administration as daglizin group, 10 mg/kg olmesartan ester intragastric administration as olmesartan ester group, 5 mg/kg daaglizin and 5 mg/kg olmesartan ester intragastric administration as daglizin and olmesartan ester combination group, respectively. Twenty rats were given 10 mg/kg normal saline intragastric administration as normal control group. After 3 months, the serum samples of rats were taken to detect the levels of fasting blood glucose, blood creatinine, urea nitrogen, 24h urinary microalbumin and other renal function indicators and the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), cell surface specific marker antigen (ED-1) and other inflammatory responses. Then the rats were killed and their kidney tissues were taken. The protein and gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), perilipin (Plin), Nephlrin, miR-26a were detected by Western blot and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results:The levels of fasting blood glucose, urea nitrogen, creatinine and 24h urinary microalbumin in dagliprazin group, olmesartan ester group and combined group were higher than those in normal control group ( P<0.05), while the levels of fasting blood glucose, urea nitrogen, creatinine and 24h urinary microalbumin in combined group were lower than those in dagliprazin group and olmesartan ester group ( P<0.05). The difference between groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of serum CRP, TNF-αand ED-1 in dagliprazin group, olmesartan ester group and combined group were higher than those in normal control group ( P<0.05), while the levels of CRP, TNF-αand ED-1 in combined group were lower than those in dagliprazin group and olmesartan ester group ( P<0.05), and the differences between groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The expression of serum VEGF, Plin and Nephlrin protein in dagliprazin group, olmesartan ester group and combined group were lower than those in normal control group ( P<0.05), while the protein and gene of Plin and Nephlrin in combined group were lower than those in dagliprazin group and olmesartan ester group. The mRNA and protein expressions of miR-26a and VEGF were higher than those of Daglipzin group and olmesartan ester group ( P<0.05), and the differences between groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Dagliprazin combined with olmesartan ester can reduce kidney injury and delay the progression of diabetic nephropathy by regulating the expression of Plin and miR-26a protein and gene in renal tissue of diabetic nephropathy rats.
