ObjectiveTo construct an animal model of respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)-infected pneumonia suitable for preclinical studies. MethodsThe virulence of RSV to the four cell lines was observed by cytopathic effect (CPE), and 50% tissue culture infective dose(TCID50) was calculated. Twenty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into a normal group and a model group. Six BALB/c-hIGF1R mice served as the humanized IGF1R model group. Except for the normal group, the other groups received intranasal RSV infection on days 1 and 3 to establish a viral pneumonia model. The efficacy of establishing an RSV-induced pneumonia animal model based on humanized insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) mice was evaluated by measuring organ indices, peripheral blood lymphocyte percentages, pulmonary pathology and imaging, and pulmonary viral load. Additionally, ten BALB/c mice served as normal group, and thirty-two BALB/c-hIGF1R mice were randomly assigned to humanized IGF1R model group, ribavirin group (82.5 mg·kg-¹·d-¹), and high and low dose groups of Lianhua Qingwen (3.3 mg·kg-¹·d-¹ , 1.65 mg·kg-¹·d-¹), with 8 mice per group. The viral load in lung tissue was measured after ribavirin and Lianhua Qingwen intervention, and the model was applied to the evaluation of anti-RSV drugs. ResultsIn the lungs of the humanized IGF1R model group, large solid and diffuse ground-glass shadows were seen, and the lung volume was significantly increased (P<0.01). The lung index was significantly increased (P<0.01), and both the spleen index and thymus index were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The percentages of CD3+ and CD4+T cells were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and there was a large amount of inflammation and stasis in the perivascular area of the lung tissue, which was predominantly characterized by lymphocytes. The endothelium of blood vessels was partially detached, with a small number of eosinophils. After infecting BALB/c-hIGF1R mice with RSV, the expression of viral nucleic acids in the lung tissue of the mice was significantly increased, with significant differences compared with the normal group (P<0.01). The expression of viral nucleic acids in the ribavirin group and the high and low dose groups of Lianhua Qingwen was significantly reduced, with significant differences compared with the normal group (P<0.01). ConclusionHumanized IGF1R mice are more susceptible to respiratory SVC, and the animal model of RSV-infected pneumonia based on humanized IGF1R mice was successfully constructed, which is suitable for the evaluation of anti-RSV drugs.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the inhibitory effects of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) on renal inflammation in diabetic nephropathy (DN) model mice, and its potential mechanism. METHODS KK/Ay mice were fed with high fat and high sugar to induce DN model. They were divided into model group, positive control group [metformin 200 mg/(kg·d)], GBE low-dose and high-dose groups [100, 200 mg/(kg·d)], with 6 mice in each group. Six C57BL/6J mice were fed with a regular diet as the control group. Administration groups were given relevant liquid intragastrically, control group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for 8 consecutive weeks. The body weight, fasting blood glucose, 24-hour food intake, 24-hour urine output, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-10, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr) of mice were measured, and the ratio of bilateral kidneys to body weight was also calculated. The pathological injury and fibrotic changes of the renal cortex were observed, and the expressions of macrophage polarization marker proteins [type M1: inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS); type M2: arginase-1 (Arg-1)] and AGEs-the receptor of advanced glycation end products (RAGE)/Ras homolog gene pharm_chenjing@163.com family member A (RhoA)/Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase (ROCK) signaling pathway-related proteins were determined in renal cortex. RESULTS Compared with the model group, the symptoms such as renal cortical hyperplasia, vacuoles, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and renal cortical fibrosis had been improved in GBE low-dose and high-dose groups; body weight, serum level of IL-10, the expression of Arg-1 in the renal cortex were significantly higher than model group (P< 0.01); fasting blood glucose, 24-hour food intake, 24-hour urine output, serum levels of MCP-1, IL-12, BUN, Scr and AGEs, the ratio of bilateral kidneys to body weight, renal injury score, the proportion of renal interstitial fibrosis, the protein expressions of iNOS, RAGE, RhoA and ROCK1 (except for GBE low-dose group) in renal cortex were significantly lower than model group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS GBE could improve kidney damage and alleviate inflammatory response in DN model mice, the mechanism of which may be related to inhibiting the AGEs-RAGE/RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway and regulating macrophage polarization.

Abstract: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), whose pathogenesis remains elusive, is a group of autoimmune diseases characterized by chronic, progressive, and lifelong inflammation of the digestive tract. The pathogenesis of IBD remains elusive. Although a number of drugs have been developed to treat IBD, their effects are merely anti-inflammatory. In addition, current treatments for IBD are easily susceptible to resistance in clinical practice. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been reported to have the ability to migrate to the site of inflammation, with potent immunoregulatory effects, and to rebalance the immune microenvironment and restore the integrity of the epithelial barrier with significant value of application, particularly for patients who are refractory to classic medicines. In this paper, we reviewed the clinical applications, mechanisms and engineerable properties of MSC products and their exosomes to provide some reference for the use of MSCs and their exosomes in the treatment of IBD.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of letrozole combined with methylprednisolone on clinical outcomes, ovarian reserve function, serum sex hormones, and safety in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome resistant to clomiphene. METHODS The clinical data of 78 infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome resistant to clomiphene in the Department of Gynecology of Qingdao Central Hospital from February 2021 to January 2022 was analyzed retrospectively, and all patients were divided into control group (42 cases) and observation group (36 cases) based on the treatment methods. The control group took letrozole 5 mg/d orally on the 5th to 9th day of the menstrual cycle. Vaginal ultrasound was used to monitor the development of the endometrium and follicles; estradiol valerate was used to correct endometrial thickness, and measures such as inducing ovulation with follicle-stimulating hormone were taken to promote pregnancy. On the basis of treatment in the control group, the observation group began taking methylprednisolone orally at a dose of 4 mg/d starting from the third day of natural menstruation or withdrawal bleeding. Both groups were treated for 6 menstrual cycles. The ovulation and pregnancy within one year, serum levels of sex hormones [estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone] and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), ovulation indicators (follicle growth time, the number of ovulations, and the number of dominant follicles), and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions were compared between the two groups. RESULTS After treatment, the biochemical pregnancy rate (72.22%) and clinical pregnancy rate (47.22%) of the observation group were significantly higher than those of control group (47.62%, 19.05%); the serum levels of E2, LH, FSH, testosterone and AMH were significantly lower than the control group; the follicle growth time was significantly shorter than the control group; the number of ovulation and dominant follicles were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in ovulation rate (94.44% vs. 83.33%) and total incidence of adverse drug reactions (8.33% vs. 9.52%) between the observation group and the control group (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Compared with letrozole alone, the combination of letrozole and methylprednisolone can significantly improve the pregnancy rate, the sex hormone levels and ovarian reserve function in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome resistant to clomiphene, with high safety profiles.
