Objective:
To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of polysaccharide from atractylodes atractylodes(PAMK) on rheumatoid arthritis(RA) rats and its effect on Toll like receptor 4/nuclear factor kappa-B(TLR4/NF-κB) signaling pathway.
Methods:
RA rat model was induced by type Ⅱ collagen, after successful modeling, the rats were divided into model group, positive drug group(Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside tablet), PAMK low-dose and high-dose groups, normal control group was also set, with 12 rats in each group. Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside tablets or Atractylodes macrocephala polysaccharide were administered intragastric administration, once a day for 4 weeks. The body weight, paw swelling rate and arthritis index of rats were measured; the thymus index and spleen index were calculated; HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of synovial membrane of ankle joint; The levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β), interleukin-6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in serum and synovial tissue of ankle were determined by ELISA; The expression levels of total protein TLR4, MyD88, phosphorylated NF-κB p65(Ser536) and nuclear protein NF-κB p65 in synovial tissue of ankle were detected by Western blot.
Results:
Compared with the normal control group, synovial hyperplasia and unclear layers were observed in the model group, body weight decreased(P<0.05), paw swelling rate, arthritis index, thymus index and spleen index increased(P<0.05), the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum and synovial tissue of ankle, and the protein expressions of TLR4, MyD88, p-NF-κB p65 and NF-κB p65 in synovial tissue of ankle increased(P<0.05). Compared with model group, the histomathological changes of synovial of ankle joint in positive drug group and PAMK high-dose group were significantly improved, body weight increased(P<0.05), paw swelling rate, arthritis index, thymus index and spleen index decreased(P<0.05), the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum and synovial tissue of ankle, and the protein expressions of TLR4, MyD88, p-NF-κB p65 and NF-κB p65 in synovial tissue of ankle decreased(P<0.05), however, there were no significant differences in the above indexes between PAMK low-dose group and model group(P>0.05).
Conclusion
PAMK can reduce the inflammatory response and improve RA, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway activation.

Objective:To observe the effect of mechanical vibration on the expression of microRNA-214-3p and serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the broken ends of fractured bones in ovariectomized rats.Methods:Thirty 3-month-old female Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, and a vibration group, each of 10. An operation of ovariotomy was performed in those of the model and vibration groups to establish osteoporosis model. Five months later a model of mid femur fracture was made with animals in all the groups. Five days after their fracture, the vibration group received 20 minutes of whole-body vibration treatment at 35Hz for 5 days a week, while the control group and the model group received natural rearing without any additional intervention At 2 and 6 weeks after the operation, the Lane-Sandhu X-ray scoring system was used to evaluate the quality of fracture healing, and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reactions and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to detect miR-214-3p in the fractured bones and the serum levels of IL-1β.Results:At 2 weeks and 6 weeks after the operation the average growth score of the broken ends in the model group was significantly lower than that of the control group, while that of the vibration group was significantly higher than the model group′s average. Compared with the control group at the same time point, the average miR-214-3p content of the model and vibration groups was significantly higher 2 and 6 weeks after the surgery. Compared with the model group, the average level of miR-214-3p of the fractured ends of the vibration group was significantly lower at 6 weeks. Two and six weeks after the surgery, the average IL-1β of the model group was significantly higher than the control group′s average, and that of the vibration group was significantly lower.Conclusion:Mechanical vibration can promote osteoporotic fracture healing by inhibiting the expression of miR-214-3p and reducing the level of IL-1β at the broken ends of fractured bones.

BACKGROUND:Knee osteoarthritis is characterized by inreversible pathological changes, belonging to arthragia syndrome. The goal of the treatment is to release or relieve symptoms and delay joint degeneration. Jianxi Qianggu Pil is an empirical formula developed by the Third People’s Hospital of Jingzhou, School of Basic Medical Science, Wuhan University, China. This prescription can nourish liver and kidney, eliminate wind and disperse cold, expel wet and dredge the col aterals, consolidate bone and reinforce knee.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the protective effect of Jianxi Qianggu Pil on joint cartilage and expression of bone morphogenetic protein 7 in rabbits with knee osteoarthritis.
METHODS:A total of 36 New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups, with 12 ones in each. The involved rabbits were applied to establish the model of knee osteoarthritis by using the modified Hulth’s method. At 6 weeks after modeling, the drug group was given 0.1 g/kg Jianxi Qianggu Pil via intragastric administration, while model group and normal control group received equal volume of saline. At 4 weeks after drug administration, rabbit articular cartilage was evaluated with Mankin’s scoring method. The cartilage morphology was observed under electron microscopy, and bone morphogenetic protein 7 expression was detected using immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The pathological degeneration degree of articular cartilage in the drug group was significantly lighter, and bone morphogenetic protein 7 expression was significantly higher than the other two groups (P<0.05). Experimental findings indicate that, Jianxi Qianggu Pil can promote the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 7 in articular cartilage of knee osteoarthritis rabbits, thereby promoting articular cartilage regeneration and reducing cartilage deformation or necrosis for the treatment of arthritis.
