ObjectiveTo analyze the diversity and structural characteristics of microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased Andrographis paniculata and to explore the interactions of soil, plants, and microorganisms during the occurrence of diseases. MethodsThe physicochemical properties of the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased A.paniculata were determined, and the composition and diversity of bacterial and fungal communities in the rhizosphere soil were analyzed by Illumina high-throughput sequencing. Furthermore, the correlations between physicochemical properties and microorganisms of the rhizosphere soil were explored. ResultsThe content of total nitrogen, total potassium, and available potassium in the rhizosphere soil of diseased A. paniculata was significantly higher than that of healthy A. paniculata. The alpha diversity and richness (operational taxonomic units) of bacterial and fungal communities in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants decreased compared with those of healthy plants. The microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased A. paniculata showed similar composition but different relative abundance. At the phylum level, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Chytridiomycota significantly increased, while that of Bacteroidota significantly decreased in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants. At the genus level, the relative abundance of Sphingomonas, Pseudomonas, and Bryobacter significantly increased, while that of RB41 showed a significant decrease in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants. The correlation analysis showed different correlations of microbial phyla with physicochemical properties of the rhizosphere soil between healthy and diseased plants. Organic matter, alkaline nitrogen, available phosphorus, and total potassium were correlated with the relative abundance of some dominant bacterial and fungal phyla in the rhizosphere soil of healthy plants, while available nitrogen and total phosphorus were correlated with the relative abundance of some dominant bacterial and fungal phyla in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants. ConclusionThere are differences in the diversity and richness of microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased A. paniculata. The physicochemical properties of soil may have an impact on the rhizosphere microorganisms of A. paniculata, leading to the development of diseases. The results provide a scientific basis for the prevention and ecological management of A. paniculata diseases.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the chemical composition of Danshenyin and its blood components in rats after oral administration. MethodsUltra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) coupled with PeakView 1.2 software was used to systematically characterize and identify the components of Danshenyin aqueous extract and its migratory components in rat blood after oral administration based on the retention time, quasi-molecular ion peaks, secondary fragmentation ions, and literature reports, and a preliminary compounds identification of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma aqueous extract, the co-decoction of Santali Albi Lignum and Amomi Fructus was carried out to attribute the chemical constituents of the aqueous extract of Danshenyin. ResultsA total of 73 compounds, including 21 phenolic acids, 23 diterpenes, 6 flavonoids, 7 organic acids, 3 volatile oils and 13 others, were identified from the aqueous extract of Danshenyin. And 36 prototypes and 15 metabolites were identified in rat plasma, the major metabolic pathways included reduction, hydration, hydroxylation, demethylation, methylation, sulfation and others, these metabolites were mainly derived from tanshinones and salvianolic acids. ConclusionThe main blood components of the aqueous extract of Danshenyin are salvianolic acids and tanshinones, which may be the material basis of the efficacy. This study can provide reference for pharmacological research, quality control, and clinical application of Danshenyin.

Objective It compared the power consumption and electrical parameters between Thulium fiber laser devices(TFL)and Holmium laser devices(HoL)in transurethral enucleation of prostate(TUEP).Methods A sin-gle surgeon conducted TUEP by THL or HoL in 10 patients respectively.The enucleation efficiency,the laser energy output and the electric parameters were recorded and analyzed.Results The data from both groups of surgeries were tested for normal distribution,and the t-test found that the difference in the enucleation efficiency between the two surgeries was not statistically significant(P=0.818),and the energy consumption indexes of the two devices were comparable.The difference in the total kilojoules of laser emission between the two lasers during surgery was not statistically significant(P=0.148),but the power consumption of the thulium laser was about one-tenth of that of the holmium laser(P<0.001),suggesting that the former utilised electrical energy significantly more efficiently than the latter.The maximum current of the HoL was significantly higher than that of the TFL(P<0.001),requiring a spe-cial high-power power outlet.Conclusion TFL was superior to HoL in terms of lower power consumption,higher en-ergy-efficient and electrical convenient in transurethral enucleation of the prostate.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the combination of total saponin of Astragali Radix-total alkaloids of Nelumbinis Folium on reversal cholesterol transport (RCT) in hyperlipidemia rats, and to discuss its mechanism. MethodSixty SD rats were randomly divided into control group, high-fat diet group, total saponin of Astragali Radix-total alkaloids of Nelumbinis Folium low (17 mg·kg-1+40 mg·kg-1), middle (34 mg·kg-1+80 mg·kg-1), high dose (68 mg·kg-1+160 mg·kg-1) groups and simvastatin (2.1 mg·kg-1) group, with 10 mice in each group. The Hyperlipidemia model was duplicated by feeding rats with a high-fat diet for 6 weeks. From the 3rd week, except for the control group and the high-fat diet group given distilled water, other groups were given corresponding drugs intragastric treatment for 4 weeks. The changes in blood lipid and liver function of rats were detected by an automatic biochemical analyzer. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and oil red O staining were used to observe the pathological morphological changes and steatosis of rat liver tissue. The contents of total cholesterol (TC) and total bile acid (TBA) in rat liver tissue and feces were determined by a semi-automatic biochemical analyzer. The mRNA and protein expression levels of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors γ (PPARγ), liver X receptors α (LXRα), ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 (ABCG1) and cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) in rat liver tissue were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot. ResultCompared with the control group, the contents or activities of TC, triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), TBA, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in serum were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the contents of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the high-fat diet group were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The hepatocyte was clearly swollen like ballooning degeneration, with a lot of fat vacuoles and red fat droplets. The contents of TC and TBA in liver tissue and feces were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the mRNA and protein expression levels of PPARγ, LXRα, ABCG1, and CYP7A1 in liver tissue were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the high-fat diet group, the contents or activities of TC, TG, LDL-C, TBA, AST, and ALT in the serum of rats in administered groups were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the content of HDL-C was significantly increased (P<0.01). Hepatocyte swelling was significantly reduced, and the ballooning degeneration, fat vacuoles, and red lipid droplets in liver tissue were significantly decreased. The contents of TC and TBA in liver tissue were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the contents of TC and TBA in feces were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The mRNA and protein expression levels of PPARγ, LXRα, ABCG1, and CYP7A1 in liver tissue were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionTotal saponin of Astragali Radix-total alkaloids of Nelumbinis Folium has a positive effect on the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia rats, and its mechanism may be related to the activation of PPARγ/LXRα/ABCG1 signaling pathway and regulation of RCT.
