ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of coptisine on chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) in rats based on the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. MethodA CAG rat model was induced by multiple factors, including sodium salicylate, N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), and irregular feeding. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into the model group, folic acid group, and high- and low-dose coptisine groups. The high- and low-dose coptisine groups were given coptisine (50, 10 mg·kg-1, respectively), and the folic acid group was given folic acid at 2 mg·kg-1 for 60 days. The pathological changes were detected by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The ultrastructure of gastric mucosal cells was observed by electron microscopy. Serum pepsinogen Ⅰ (PGⅠ), pepsinogen Ⅱ (PGⅡ), and PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio (PGR) were detected by immunoturbidimetry. Serum gastrin-17 (G-17) level was detected by radioimmunoassay. The content of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in serum of rats was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELSIA). Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression levels of TGF-β1, PI3K, phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt), mTOR, and phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) in gastric mucosa. The mRNA levels of TGF-β1, PI3K, Akt, mTOR, PTEN, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3Ⅱ (LC3Ⅱ), and Beclin-1 were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed atrophy and reduced number of intrinsic glands in the gastric mucosal tissues, as well as inflammatory cell infiltration. The ultrastructure of gastric mucosal cells in the model group displayed nuclear condensation, reduced and swollen mitochondria, and abnormal structure. The serum levels of G-17, PGⅠ, PGR, and the protein and mRNA levels of PTEN in gastric tissues were significantly lower in the model group (P<0.01), while serum levels of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and the protein and mRNA levels of TGF-β1, PI3K, Akt, and mTOR in gastric tissues were significantly higher (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, various drug intervention groups showed different degrees of improvement in pathological damage and gastric mucosal cell ultrastructure, significantly increased serum levels of G-17, PGⅠ, and PGR (P<0.05,P<0.01), and significantly decreased levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α (P<0.05,P<0.01). The high-dose coptisine group significantly downregulated the protein and mRNA levels of TGF-β1, PI3K, Akt, and mTOR (P<0.05,P<0.01). ConclusionBerberine has a therapeutic effect on CAG in rats, possibly exerting a protective effect on gastric mucosa by inhibiting inflammation and blocking the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Xianglian Huazhuo prescription in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) based on network pharmacology and animal experiments,so as to provide scientific basis for clinical application. MethodThe possible targets and pathways of Xianglian Huazhuo prescription in the treatment of CAG were obtained based on the prediction of network pharmacology. The CAG rat model was induced by sodium salicylate,N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and hunger and satiety disorder. Then the CAG rats were treated with Xianglian Huazhuo prescription and morodan for 60 days. After administration,the rats were sacrificed,and the content of interleukin-6 (IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in serum was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). In addition, the protein expression of Bad and Bcl-2 in gastric mucosa was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). ResultA total of 241 active components of Xianglian Huazhuo prescription and 53 core targets were obtained. Xianglian Huazhuo prescription affected multiple biological processes,such as cell proliferation and apoptosis,inflammatory reaction,regulation of DNA metabolism,and cell response to redox,as well as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt),TNF,mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK),cancer and cancer-related signaling pathways. The animal model verification showed that Xianglian Huazhuo prescription lowered the levels of IL-6,TNF-α,IL-1β and VEGF in serum of CAG rats,and reduced the protein expression of Bad and Bcl-2 in gastric tissue. ConclusionXianglian Huazhuo prescription could regulate PI3K/Akt signal pathway and improve gastric mucosal injury in CAG by participating in biological processes such as cell proliferation,apoptosis and inflammation.

Objective:To evaluate the safety, feasibility and operational performance of self-developed medical disposable portable endoscopy (YunSendo) for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy examination in Ba-Ma mini-pigs.Methods:A total of 10 Guangxi Ba-Ma mini-pigs were used in the experiment, and mucosal injury models were established in advance by biopsy forceps in esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Each experimental animal underwent medical disposable portable endoscopy and Olympus endoscopy (GIF-Q260J) performed by two endoscopists separately. The time when the endoscope reached the duodenum, the number of detected mucosal injuries and endoscopic pictures of different parts with standard image acquisition were recorded. Endoscopic operational performance and endoscopic image quality were evaluated. Different endoscopists recorded experimental results with blind method. The procedures of the two endoscopic examinations were performed by coin-tossing method. The paired t test was used for statistical analysis. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the insertion time and total operation time between medical disposable portable endoscopy and Olympus endoscopy ( (171.00±9.96) s vs. (164.00±17.84) s, (285.00±33.94) s vs. (273.40±23.46) s; t=1.289 and 1.281, P=0.230 and 0.232). There were no statistically significant differences in the percentage of time of clear visual field during endoscopy insertion and total operation between medical disposable portable endoscopy and Olympus endoscopy ((91.83±1.85)% vs. (91.52±1.51)%, (93.07±3.10)% vs. (92.06±2.57)%; t=0.401 and 0.689, P=0.698 and 0.508). Moreover, there were no statistically significant differences in the score of comprehensive operation performance, score of clear image number, score of image color recognition, score of image illumination, comprehensive score of image quality and number of detected mucosal injuries ((9.66±0.30) points vs. (9.86±0.15) points, (39.50±0.71) points vs. (39.30±1.06) points, (39.70±0.48) points vs. (39.40±0.70) points, (39.40±0.70) points vs. (39.50±0.71) points, (9.88±0.09) points vs. (9.85±0.20) points, 9.80±0.42 vs. 9.90±0.32; t=2.176, 1.000, 1.152, 0.317, 0.629 and 0.557, all P>0.05). There were no adverse events after operation in medical disposable portable endoscopy group and Olympus endoscopy group. Conclusions:The medical disposable portable endoscopy is safe and feasible for endoscopy examination in live animal models. Different parts of upper gastrointestinal tract and mucosal lesions can be clearly detected. The operational performance and the image quality are excellent, which is similar to Olympus endoscopy (GIF-Q260J).

Objective To improve the pediatrician's understanding of severe combined immunodefi-ciency disease (SCID),so as to strengthen the early diagnosis and treatment of SCID. Methods The clinical manifestations,related immunological findings,imaging findings and outcomes of 10 SCID children admitted to our hospital from 2007 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The clinical manifestations of primary SCID were frequent infections shortly after birth. There were 8 males and 2 females in this study. The average age of onset was 4. 2 months,and the average age of diagnosis was 6 months. Eight cases of thymus shadow were absent,9 cases of pulmonary CT showed severe pneumonia,and 3 cases of pulmonary fungal infection. Six of 7 children died of infection and the age of death was less than 1 year old. Laboratory exami-nation showed that 10 patients had abnormal cell and humoral immune function;10 cases of CD3 +T cells were <20%,3 cases of CD16 +CD56 +( NK%) >85%,7 cases ≤ 2%. There was an increase in B cell reactivity of 7 cases,but the secretion of immunoglobulin in 5 cases was significantly reduced. Seven cases of IgG<2. 0 g/L,3 cases>2. 0 g/L. Eight cases were confirmed of the primary SCID by genetic testing. Con-clusion The clinical manifestations of SCID are frequent bacterial,viral and fungal infections in a short time after birth. In clinical work,when small infants are repeatedly infected after birth,or multiple sites are serious-ly infected and prolonged,we must think of the possibility of SCID and timely related immune function tests, strive to achieve early diagnosis,timely treatment,and early bone marrow stem cell transplantation.
