BACKGROUND:Rev-erbα is involved in the regulation of inflammation,but pharmacological activation of Rev-erbα increases the risk for cardiovascular diseases.To reduce the relevant risk,an exploration on SR9009,a Rev-erbα agonist,combined with other drugs to relieve inflammation in skeletal myoblasts was conducted,laying the theoretical foundation for the treatment of inflammation-associated skeletal muscle atrophy. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship of SR9009,indolepropionic acid and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways in lipopolysaccharide-induced C2C12 myoblasts. METHODS:(1)C2C12 myoblasts were induced to differentiate in the presence of lipopolysaccharide(1 μg/mL).RNA-seq and KEGG pathway analysis were used to study signaling pathways.(2)C2C12 myoblast viability was assessed using the cell counting kit-8 assay to determine optimal concentrations of indolepropionic acid.Subsequently,cells were categorized into control group,lipopolysaccharide(1 μg/mL)group,SR9009(10 μmol/L)+lipopolysaccharide group,indolepropionic acid(80μmol/L)+lipopolysaccharide group,and SR9009+indolepropionic acid+lipopolysaccharide group.ELISA was employed to measure protein expression levels of interleukin-6 in the cultured supernatant.Real-time quantitative PCR were employed to measure mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor α,TLR4 and CD14.Western blot assay were employed to measure protein expression levels of NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65.(3)After Rev-erbα was knocked down by siRNA,knockdown efficiency was assessed by RT-qPCR.And mRNA levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor α were also measured. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the blank control group,lipopolysaccharide time-dependently inhibited myofibroblast fusion to form myotubes,the mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor α were elevated,and the level of interleukin-6 in the cell supernatant was significantly increased.The results of KEGG pathway showed that the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway was activated by lipopolysaccharide.Indolepropionic acid exhibited significant suppression of C2C12 myoblasts viability when its concentration exceeded 80 μmol/L.Indolepropionic acid and SR9009 inhibited the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway,thereby played an anti-inflammatory role,and suppressed the mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor α,TLR4 and CD14.Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the ratio of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 protein expression were downregulated.SR9009 combined with indolepropionic acid notably reduced lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation,further downregulated the mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor α,TLR4 and CD14.The ratio of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 protein expression was significantly lower than that in the SR9009+lipopolysaccharide group or indolepropionic acid+lipopolysaccharide group.Rev-erbα increases time-dependently with lipopolysaccharide induction.The knockdown efficiency of Rev-erbα by siRNA reached over 58%,and lipopolysaccharide was added after Rev-erbα was successfully knocked down.Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor α were significantly up-regulated.These results conclude that Rev-erbα may act as a promising pharmacological target to reduce inflammation.SR9009 targeted activation of Rev-erbα combined with indolepropionic acid significantly inhibits the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway and attenuates the inflammatory response of C2C12 myofibroblasts.Moreover,the combined anti-inflammatory effect is superior to that of the intervention alone.

BACKGROUND:Coptis chinensis can clear heat,dry dampness,relieve fire,and detoxify.Coptis chinensis and its components have a significant protective effect on cerebral ischemia.The action mechanism of anti-cerebral ischemia of Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids was explored based on network pharmacology and transcriptome sequencing. OBJECTIVE:Based on the study of the protective effects of Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids on cerebral ischemia of rats,the action mechanism of Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids intervention in cerebral ischemia was investigated by using network pharmacology and transcriptome sequencing technology. METHODS:The SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,ischemia/reperfusion group,positive drug group,and Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids group.The ischemia/reperfusion model of middle cerebral artery occlusion was prepared by modified thread method in the latter three groups.No thread was inserted and the other operations were the same in the sham operation group.TTC staining,Longa 5 neurological deficient score,hematoxylin and eosin staining,and Nissl staining were used to evaluate the protective effect of Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids on ischemia/reperfusion model rats.Transcriptome sequencing was performed on the brain tissues of rats in sham operation group,ischemia/reperfusion group,and Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids group.Differentially expressed genes,gene Ontology analysis,Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes analysis,and Correlation Analysis of Transcriptomics and Network Pharmacology were used to elucidate the effect of Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids on cerebral ischemia.Finally,ELISA and immunofluorescence staining were used to verify the key targets of Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids in the intervention of cerebral ischemia. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids treatment decreased the Longa 5 neurological deficit scores and cerebral infarction area of ischemia/reperfusion model rats,increased the number of neurons and Nissl bodies.(2)Differentially expressed gene after Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids treatment analyzed by functional enrichment analysis of gene ontology includes biological processes such as inflammatory reaction and positive regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade.The enrichment analysis of Kyoto gene and genome encyclopedia analysis pathway mainly involves interleukin-17 signaling pathway,neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,cyclic adenosine-3′,5′-mconophosphate signaling pathway and so on.(3)Analysis of transcriptomics showed that the main genes regulated by Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids were prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2,brain derived neurotrophic factor,and transient receptor potential A1.(4)Network pharmacology analysis revealed that nine components in Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids may exert their effects by associating with 87 targets related to prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2,brain derived neurotrophic factor,and transient receptor potential A1.(5)ELISA and immunofluorescence staining results further confirmed that Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids regulated the expression of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2,brain derived neurotrophic factor,and transient receptor potential A1.(6)It is concluded that Coptidis Rhizoma Alkaloids treatment can significantly improve the injury in ischemia/reperfusion model rats,possibly by regulating prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2,brain derived neurotrophic factor,and transient receptor potential A1.

Objective To investigate the main dietary patterns of children in urban areas of Maanshan City, and to explore the association between dietary patterns and subthreshold autism trait (SAT), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and comorbid behaviors in 3-year-old children. Methods Based on the birth cohort of Maanshan Maternal and Infant Health from June 2015 to June 2016，regular physical examinations were conducted from 4 to 2 to 1, and follow-up was conducted until the age of 3. A semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was employed to assess dietary intakes. SAT and ADHD symptoms were assessed by Clancy autism behavior scale (CABS) and the 10-item Chinese version of the Conners Abbreviated Symptom Questionnaire (C-ASQ). Social-demographic information was also collected. Results The detection rates of SAT, ADHD symptoms, and comorbidity were 11.03%, 5.28%, and 2.71%, respectively. The older the father, the higher the mother's education level, and the higher the per capita monthly income of the family, the lower the SAT detection rate (P<0.05). The higher the father's educational level, the lower the detection rate of ADHD symptoms (P<0.05). The older the mother and the higher the education level, the lower the detection rate of comorbid behavior in their children (P <0.05). After adjusting for demographic influencing factors, the low intake level was used as a reference. The vegetarian type with moderate intake level was negatively correlated with SAT, while the processed food type with high intake level was positively correlated with SAT. The vegetarian type with high intake level was negatively correlated with ADHD symptoms, while the snack type with high intake level was positively correlated with ADHD symptoms. The vegetarian type with high intake level was negatively correlated with comorbidity. Conclusion Unhealthy dietary patterns are related to children's SAT and ADHD symptoms. Correcting children's unhealthy eating patterns may help reduce children's behavior problems.

ObjectiveTo reveal the molecular mechanism of Angong Niuhuangwan（AGNH） in improving traumatic brain injury（TBI） based on single cell sequencing. MethodSeventy-five male SD rats were randomly divided into the sham group， model group， piracetam group（3.6 g·kg^-1）， AGNH low- and high-dose groups（0.09， 0.27 g·kg^-1）， with 15 rats in each group. In addition to the sham group， the other 4 groups used the modified Feeney free-fall impact method to prepare TBI model， and the drugs were administered by gavage immediately after modeling， 24 hours later， the modified neurological deficit score（mNSS） was performed， and brain tissue was isolated to determine the degree of cerebral edema. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe the injury degree in the cortex， CA1 region and CA3 region of brain tissue. The expression levels of cyclooxygenase-2（COX-2）， interferon regulatory factor 1（IRF1）， Janus kinase 2（JAK2） and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3（SOCS3） were observed by immunofluorescence（IF） staining. The levels of interleukin（IL）-6， IL-18， IL-1β， IL-17A， tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， Caspase-1 and nucleotide binding oligomerization domain（NOD）-like receptor heat protein domain associated protein 3（NLRP3） inflammasome were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. The regulation of AGNH on each cell population was analyzed by single cell sequencing， and differentially expressed genes were analyzed by Gene Ontology（GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）， which led to construct microglia differentially expressed gene network to search for the key targets， and validated by ELISA and IF. ResultCompared with the sham group， the mNSS and brain water content were significantly increased in the model group（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， mNSS and brain water content in the low and high dose AGNH groups were decreased（P<0.05，P<0.01）. HE staining results showed that compared with the sham group， the cells in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats in the model group were seriously lost， and the cells were arranged loosely（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， AGNH could significantly increase the density of neurons in the CA1 and CA3 regions of the cerebral cortex and hippocampus， making the arrangement more compact， as well as improved cell morphology（P<0.05，P<0.01）. ELISA and IF staining showed that AGNH could reduce the levels of Caspase-1， IL-17A， TNF-α， NLRP3 and COX-2 in brain tissue of TBI rats（P<0.05， P<0.01）. A total of 13 cell subsets were identified by single cell sequencing， among which microglia played an important role in neuroimmunity. The results of GO enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes in microglia showed that AGNH improved TBI in response to inflammation and TNF-α. KEGG enriched IL-17 signaling pathway， TNF signaling pathway， Toll-like receptor signaling pathway， etc. The results of network analysis showed that the key targets of AGNH in regulating TBI might be IL-6， IL-1β， JAK2， SOCS3， IRF1. IF and ELISA verification results showed that compared with the sham group， SOCS3 expression in microglia was decreased in the model group， and the expressions of IL-6， IL-1β， JAK2 and IRF1 were increased（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， AGNH could increase the expression of SOCS3， decrease the expression of IL-6， IL-1β， JAK2， IRF1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionAGNH can reduce the degree of brain edema and brain injury， decrease the expression of inflammatory factors， and inhibit the expression of NLRP3 and its downstream Caspase-1 in TBI rats， which may act on the targets of IL-6， IL-1β， JAK2， IRF1 and SOCS3 in microglia.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of lung recruitment maneuvers combined with individualized positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP) on the degree of postoperative atelectasis in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.Methods:One hundred and forty-three elderly patients, aged ≥65 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-30.0 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery, were assigned to either individualized PEEP combined with recruitment maneuvers (group Ⅱ) or fixed PEEP (group Ⅰ) using a random number table method. PEEP was maintained at 6 cmH 2O starting from the beginning of procedure until the end of the procedure in group I. Individualized PEEP titration was performed after induction of anesthesia in group Ⅱ. The primary outcome measure was the 12-zone lung ultrasound score at 15 min after tracheal extubation. Other outcome measures were the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications within 7 days after surgery, Quality of Recovery-15 scale score on 3rd day after surgery, rate of unplanned admission to intensive care units, length of hospital stay, incidence of intraoperative hypoxemia, usage rate of intraoperative vasoactive drugs, and incidence of postoperative hypotension. Results:Compared with group Ⅰ, the lung ultrasound score, driving pressure and postoperative pulmonary complications were significantly decreased, the dynamic lung compliance was increased ( P<0.05 or 0.01), and no significant changes were found in the other parameters in group Ⅱ ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Individualized PEEP combined with recruitment maneuvers can reduce the degree of postoperative atelectasis in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

Objective:To explore the relationship between serum urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio (UCR) and cardiac function in elderly patients with severe pneumonia.Methods:A prospective selection of 100 elderly patients with severe pneumonia admitted to Group Wanbei General Hospital of Wanbei Coal Power from May 2020 to April 2023 was conducted as the case group, and an additional 50 patients who underwent health examinations in the hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. Serum urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), UCR value, myocardial injury indexes: cardiac troponin I (cTnI), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP), creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), and cardiac function indexes: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output index (CI) were detected in the two groups. The patients in the case group were divided into two subgroups based on the occurrence of heart failure during hospitalization: the heart failure subgroup and the normal heart function subgroup. The serum UCR, myocardial injury and cardiac function indexes were compared between the case group and the control group. The general data, myocardial injury and cardiac function indexes were compared between the heart failure group and the normal heart function group. The relationship between serum UCR and cardiac function in patients with severe pneumonia was analyzed by bivariate Pearson correlation. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of cardiac dysfunction in patients with severe pneumonia, and using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to analyze the value of serum UCR in predicting cardiac dysfunction in patients with severe pneumonia.Results:The values of BUN, UCR, cTnI, NT-ProBNP, CK and CK-MB in the case group were higher than those in the control group: (8.72 ± 1.14) μmol/L vs. (6.41 ± 0.76) μmol/L, 125.00 ± 19.75 vs. 86.12 ± 12.02, 0.04 (0.03, 0.05) μg/L vs. 0.04 (0.03, 0.05) μg/L, (185.49 ± 20.59) ng/L vs. (147.76 ± 20.85) ng/L, (104.78 ± 14.98) U/L vs. (99.33 ± 15.07) U/L, (31.59 ± 6.23) U/L vs. (29.13 ± 5.76) U/L. The values of Cr, LVEF, CO, SV and CI in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (70.22 ± 5.76) μmol/L vs. (74.75 ± 5.12) μmol/L, (59.72 ± 2.41)% vs. (61.78 ± 2.16)%, (3.93 ± 0.43) L/min vs. (4.53 ± 0.62) L/min, (59.82 ± 6.12) ml vs. (62.23 ± 7.22) ml, (2.95 ± 0.30) L/(min·m 2) vs. (3.06 ± 0.33) L/(min·m 2), with a statistical significant difference ( P<0.05). In the case group, 21 patients had heart failure during hospitalization, accounting for 21.00%. The pneumonia severity index score on admission in the heart failure subgroup was higher than that in the normal heart function subgroup: (172.76 ± 9.18) points vs. (168.24 ± 8.81) points. The serum BUN and UCR levels were higher than those in the normal heart function subgroup: (9.51 ± 0.79) mmol/L vs. (8.51 ± 1.13) mmol/L, 141.62 ± 9.89 vs. 120.59 ± 19.39. The serum Cr level was lower than that in the normal heart function subgroup: (67.26 ± 5.34) μmol/L vs. (71.00 ± 5.65) μmol/L, with a significant statistical difference ( P<0.05). There was no significant statistical difference in other data between the two subgroups ( P>0.05). The bivariate Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum UCR was positively correlated with cardiac function indicators cTnI, NT-ProBNP, CK and CK-MB levels in severe pneumonia ( r = 0.40, 0.27, 0.32 and 0.33; P<0.05), and negatively correlated with LVEF, CO, SV and CI levels ( r = - 0.37, - 0.21, - 0.25 and - 0.21; P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the occurrence of cardiac dysfunction in elderly patients with severe pneumonia may be related to the pneumonia severity index score on admission and the abnormal expression of serum BUN, UCR and Cr levels ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis found that the area under the curve for predicting the occurrence of cardiac dysfunction during hospitalization in severe pneumonia patients with serum UCR on admission was 0.85 (95% CI 0.77 to 0.92), which had certain predictive value. Conclusions:Elderly patients with severe pneumonia are accompanied by a certain degree of elevated serum UCR levels, and the higher the serum UCR level, the more severe the cardiac function damage and the greater the risk of cardiac dysfunction.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of two-way needle suture technique (TNST) in the minimally invasive repair of acute closed Achilles tendon rupture.Methods:From June 2019 to June 2021, 26 patients with acute closed Achilles tendon rupture were treated at Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital. They were 20 males and 6 females, with a mean age of 28 (23, 31) years. The rupture end was (4.2±1.3) cm away from the calcaneal insertion, and the interval from injury to operation 4.3 (2.0, 5.0) d. Preoperative MRI examinations revealed in all the patients closed Achilles tendon rupture which was to be repaired by TNST. The operation time, incision length, incidence of complications, ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion were recorded. The Arner-Lindholm scoring was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy.Results:The operation time was (20.0±5.0) min and the incision length (2.5±0.4) cm. Postoperatively, all incisions healed by the first stage, with no complications like incision infection, skin edge necrosis, deep vein thrombosis at lower limbs, injury to the sural nerve, or re-rupture of the Achilles tendon. All patients were followed up for (12.0±6.0) months. At the last follow-up, the patients walked normally, their incisions healed well, the continuity of the Achilles tendon was good by palpation, their heel lift was strong, and all their activities were restored to the levels before rupture of the Achilles tendon. The ankle dorsiflexion was 22.6°±3.7° and the plantar flexion 25.3°±3.7°, According to the Arner-Lindholm evaluation, the clinical efficacy was rated as excellent in 25 cases and as good in 1 case, giving an excellent and good rate of 100% (26/26).Conclusion:In the minimally invasive repair of acute closed Achilles tendon rupture, TNST shows the advantages of limited surgical invasion, a low incidence of postoperative complications, and reliable curative effects.

Objective:To investigate the effect of a degradable high-purity magnesium screw in fixing the greater trochanter bone flap of a lateral circumflex femoral artery transverse branch in the treatment of ischemic necrosis of femoral head in young and middle-aged adults.Methods:From February 2017 to February 2019, 12 cases (15 hips) of young and middle-aged patients with avascular necrosis of femoral head were treated in the Department of Orthopaedic of Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University. The age of patients was 30-53 years old. According to Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO), 2 hips were graded in stage II b, 4 in ARCO II c, 1 in ARCO III a, 5 in ARCO III b, 2 in ARCO III c and 1 in ARCO IV. The greater trochanter bone flap with a lateral circumferential vascular branch was used to fill the necrotic area, and fixed by a biodegradable high purity magnesium screw in the bone flap transfer. At 3, 6 and 12 months postoperation, the patient came to the hospital outpatient clinic for follow-up, and then were reviewed once a year. Imaging efficacy was evaluated by comparing preoperative and postoperative imaging. The Harris score and Visual Anoalogue Scale (VAS) score were tested at 12 and 24 months after surgery. The Harris score and VAS score before and after surgery were compared by Friedman test, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:All 12 patients (15 hips) were entered in the 24-36 months of follow-up. At 12 and 24 months after surgery, Harris score was found at 87 (86, 92) and 90 (87, 92) respertively, which were both higher than that before surgery [59 (52, 74)] with a significant statistical difference ( Z=-3.743, Z=-4.473, P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in Harris scores between 12 and 24 months after the surgery ( Z=-0.730, P>0.05). At the 12 and 24 months after surgery, VAS score was found at 3 (2, 3) and 2 (1, 3) respertively, which were both lower than that before surgery [6 (5, 6) ] with a significant statistical difference ( Z=-3.560, Z=-4.656, P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in VAS scores between 12 and 24 months after surgery ( Z=-1.095, P>0.05). X-ray and CT scan showed that the bone flaps healed well and the areas of osteonecrosis were repaired. Thirteen femoral heads were in good shape, and 2 femoral heads had further collapse of hips. No patients underwent joint replacement surgery at the time of last follow-up. Conclusion:Fixation of the greater trochanter flap of lateral circumflex femoral artery transverse branch with a degradable high-purity magnesium screw can ensure the healing of the flap at the implantation site and avoid the displacement and shedding of the flap. It is a new therapeutic option to treat the avascular necrosis of femoral head of young and middle-aged people.
