AIM To explore the effect of Heidihuang Pills on renal fibrosis in a rat model of chronic renal failure(CRF)and its mechanism.METHODS Wistar rats were randomly divided into the blank group for normal feeding and the model group for the establishment of CRF rat models by 5/6 nephrectomy.Subsequently,the successfully established rat models were randomly divided into the model group,the Heidihuang Pills group(10.43 g/kg),and the Heidihuang Pills+IGF-1R blocker(JB1)group for a regimen of 7-day subcutaneous injection of 18 μg/kg JB1 followed by gavage of 10.43 g/kg Heidihuang Pills.Eight weeks after the administration,the rats had their serum levels of Scr and BUN detected;their pathological changes of renal tissue observed by HE and Masson staining;their renal protein expressions of TGF-β,HIF-1α and α-SMA detected by immunohistochemistry;their renal protein expressions of IGF-1R and TGF-β detected by Western blot;and their renal mRNA expressions of IGF-1R and TGF-β detected by RT-qPCR.RESULTS Compared with the blank group,the model group displayed increased serum levels of Scr and BUN(P＜0.05);increased,degree of renal fibrosis,and renal fibrosis area(P＜0.05);increased renal expressions of TGF-β,HIF-1α,α-SMA proteins and TGF-β mRNA(P＜0.05);and decreased expressions of IGF-1R mRNA and protein(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the Heidihuang Pills group displayed decreased serum Scr and BUN levels(P＜0.05);decreased inflammatory cells in renal interstitium and the fibrosis degree(P＜0.05);decreased renal expressions of TGF-β,HIF-1α,α-SMA proteins and TGF-β mRNA(P＜0.05);and increased expressions of IGF-1R mRNA and protein(P＜0.05).However,the administration of JB1 could weaken the improvement effect of Heidihuang Pills on renal fibrosis in CRF rats(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION Heidihuang Pills can inhibit the renal fibrosis in CRF rats,and the inhibition process is related to up-regulated IGF-1 expression and promoted combination of IGF-1 and IGF-1R.

Based on whole genome data, the identification and expression pattern analysis of the Atropa belladonna WRKY transcription factor family were conducted to provide a theoretical foundation for studying the biological functions and mechanisms of these transcription factors. In this study, bioinformatics methods were employed to identify members of the A. belladonna WRKY gene family and to predict their physicochemical properties, conserved motifs, promoter cis-acting elements, and chromosomal localization. Additionally, the expression patterns of the A. belladonna WRKY gene family under the regulation of environmental factors such as light quality and temperature were analyzed. The results revealed a total of 28 AbWRKY transcription factors, randomly distributed across 16 chromosomes, encoding 324-707 amino acids. Most AbWRKY proteins were acidic, unstable, and hydrophilic. Based on multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis, the WRKY gene family members were classified into two subfamilies. Conserved motif and domain analysis indicated that WRKY transcription factors in the same subfamily possessed conserved structural features. Promoter analysis predicted that the A. belladonna WRKY family contained light-responsive elements, hormone-responsive elements, and stress-responsive elements. Collinearity analysis showed that AbWRKY24 plays a crucial role in the expansion of the AbWRKY gene family. Then qRT-PCR results indicated that AbWRKY6, AbWRKY8, AbWRKY14, and AbWRKY24 responded to red light stress, while AbWRKY8, AbWRKY14, and AbWRKY24 responded to yellow light/low-temperature combined stress. AbWRKY6 and AbWRKY8 were significantly expressed in leaves and stems, AbWRKY27 and AbWRKY28 were significantly expressed in fibrous roots, and AbWRKY25 was significantly expressed in flowers. This study is the first to identify and analyze the WRKY gene family in A. belladonna and to examine its expression patterns under light and temperature regulation, laying a foundation for in-depth analysis and functional validation of the molecular mechanisms of A. belladonna WRKY transcription factors in responding to light quality and temperature environmental factors.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.

Objective Current data are insufficient for comparisons of effectiveness between percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)and coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG)among patients with coronary artery disease(CAD)and left ventricular dysfunction.Methods A total of 905 CAD patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF≤35％)in single center of China who underwent either PCI or CABG were enrolled in a real-world cohort study.Clinical outcomes included short-and long-term all-cause mortality,rates of heart failure(HF)hospitalization and repeat revascularization.Propensity score matching was used to balance the 2 cohorts.Results PCI was associated with lower 30-day mortality rate(HR 0.29,95％CI 0.09-0.88,P=0.029).At a mean follow-up of 4.5 years,PCI and CABG had similar all-cause death(HR 1.00,95％CI 0.67-1.50,P=0.990)and HF hospitalization(HR 0.81,95％CI 0.40-1.64,P=0.561),but PCI had higher risk of repeat revascularization(HR 14.46,95％CI 3.43-60.98,P＜0.001).PCI was associated with more significant LVEF improvement than CABG(P=0.031 for interaction).Conclusions CAD patients with reduced LVEF who underwent PCI had lower short-term mortality rate and more LVEF improvement but higher risk of repeat revascularization during follow-up than patients who underwent CABG.PCI showed comparable long-term survival and HF hospitalization risk.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the molecular polymorphisms of CD36 among 58 blood donors with CD36 deficiency and compare with CD36 positive controls. METHODS: A total of 58 donors with CD36 deficiency during a screening conducted in the laboratory from September 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled as the test group, including 39 males and 19 females, while 120 platelet donors with CD36 positive were randomly selected as the controls, including 76 males and 44 females. All of the subjects were Han nationality. The PCR-SBT method was used to detect coding region of CD36 gene, and molecular mutations were compared with those CD36 positive controls. RESULTS: Among the 58 donors with CD36 deficiency, mutations appears in 32 individuals. The detection rate for type I was 71.43% (5/7), and type II was 51.92% (27/52), while among the 120 controls, mutations appears in 12 donors (10%). In the CD36 antigen-deficient donors, 16 variations were found, in which 329-330 del AC with the highest frequency accounted for 20.69%, followed by 1228-1239 del ATTGTGCCTATT(15.52%) and 1156 C>T(10.34%). Two variations, 198-205 del GATCTTTG and 220 C>T, led to premature termination of translation; four mutations, 329-330 del AC, 560 ins T, 1011-1049 39bp dupl and 1343-1344 ins TCTT, caused translation frame shift; 1228-1239 del ATTGTGCCTATT led to deletion of four amino acids (Ile-Val-Pro-Ile) at sites 410-413 of the peptide chain. The 1140 T>A and 1275 G>A were synonymous mutations, and the other 7 mutations resulted in the substitution of single nucleotide. The platelet expression in the donors of CD36 positive with 329-330 del AC or 1228-1239 del ATTGTGCCTATT mutation (heterozygote) was lower than those CD36 positive individuals without mutations (homozygote). CONCLUSION Multiple gene mutations in the CD36 coding region may cause CD36 deficiency, and the heterozygous individuals with mutations may lead to CD36 antigen reduction or deletion. Mutation is not detected in 44.83% of CD36 deficient individuals, there may be some other reasons for the CD36 antigen deficiency.

Objective To explore the influence of muscle and fat distribution on sit-up ability of female college students. Methods A total of 1560 female students majoring in non-physical education in a Guangxi University were randomly selected. Body composition was measured by the bioresistance antibody component meter. According to the National Physical Health Test Standard, the height, weight and sit-ups of female college students were measured. The students were divided into four groups according to the score of sit-ups:<60 points, 60-69 points, 70-79 points, ≥80 points. SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used to analyze the data. Results There were statistically significant differences in body fat rate, total fat mass, trunk fat mass, trunk fat rate, visceral fat area, visceral fat mass and subcutaneous fat mass in different sit-ups (F value were 3.414, 2.914, 2.881, 3.347, 3.064, 3.235, 2.766, P<0.05). That was, the fat parameters in the 60-69 group were the highest and ≥80 the lowest. However, there was no significant difference between total muscle mass and trunk muscle mass in each score segment. After correcting for age, height, and weight factors, except for visceral fat area and visceral fat mass, the correlation between other fat parameters and sit-up score were negatively correlated, which were statistically significant (r<0, P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between each muscle parameter and sit-up performance (r>0, P<0.05). Compared with other parameters, the correlation coefficient between trunk muscle mass and sit-ups was the largest. Conclusion The distribution of fat and muscle has different effects on sit-up ability. Female college students' sit-up ability is greatly affected by subcutaneous fat and trunk muscle, and has nothing to do with visceral fat.

Objective To measure the body fat parameters of adult population in Guangxi, and to explore the characteristics of distribution of fat content with age and gender. Methods A total of 1558 male residents and 2132 female residents were selected by random sampling method . The subjects were divided into 8 groups every 10 years, and the fat parameters were measured and recorded by body composition analyzer. The statistical software SPSS 22. 0 analysed data. Results The total of fat mass and fat content of all parts as well as the subcutaneous and limb fat content of all age groups in Guangxi females were higher than that of the male. The fat content of each part of the male increased first and then decreased with age. It was at the age of 30 that the fat parameters of the male peaked with the highest rates of overweight and obesity. Males had more visceral fat and trunk fat than women at 30-40 years old, and showed predominantly centripetal obesity.Total fat content and fat content of all age groups of female showed a rapid rise at the age of 20-50, and reached a peak at 40 years old. After 50 years old, they slowly decreased and gradually stabilized. The main manifestations of young women were subcutaneous and limb fat increase, which was mainly characterized by centripetal obesity after 40-50 years old, when the rates of overweight and obesity were the highest. Conclusion The body fat content of male and female people in Guangxi increases first and then decreases with age. Twenty-thirty years old of Males and 20-50 years old of female are the key time points for the change of body fat content. In addition of the visceral and trunk fat content, the fat content of different age groups and different parts of female is higher in Guangxi than that of males. The visceral and trunk fat content of Guangxi young adults male is higher than that of females.
