Objective:To study the protective effects and mechanism of Melastoma sanguineum Sims fruit extract (MSE) on chronic chemical liver injury induced by ethanol, acetaminophen and carbon tetrachloride in mice; To discuss it mechanism.Methods:Totally 96 mice were divided into normal control group, ethanol model group, ethanol+bifendate control group and ethanol+MSE high-, medium- and low-dosage groups, APAP model group, APAP+bifendate control group and APAP+MSE high-, medium- and low-dosage groups, CCl 4 model group, CCl 4+bifendate control group and CCl 4+MSE high-, medium- and low-dosage groups, with 6 mice in each group. Except for the normal control group, the other groups were respectively prepared for the ethanol model, the APAP model and the CCl 4 model. The mice in the MSE high-, medium- and low-dosage groups were intragastrically administrated with 10, 5 and 2.5 g/kg of MSE, respectively; the bifendate control group was intraperitoneally injected with 15 mg/ml bifendate solution at 75 mg/kg; the normal control group was intraperitoneally injected with equal volume of normal saline/peanut oil solution once a day for 25 consecutive days. The levels of GPT, GOT and total bilirubin (TBIL) in serum were detected; the activities of SOD and GSH-Px and the content of MDA in liver tissue were detected; the mRNA expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) were detected by qRT-PCR; the protein expressions of cytochrome P450 CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP3A in liver tissue were detected by Western blot; the pathological changes of the liver tissue were observed by HE staining. Results:Compared with the corresponding ethanol, APAP and CCl 4 model groups, the serum GPT, GOT and TBIL levels of mice in the ethanol+bifendate control group and ethanol+MSE high- and medium-dosage groups, the APAP+bifendate control group and APAP+MSE high- and medium-dosage groups, and the CCl 4+bifendate control group and CCl 4+MSE high- and medium-dosage groups decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), the activities of SOD and GSH-Px in the liver tissue increased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the MDA level decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the mRNA levels of IL-6 and TNF-α decreased ( P<0.01); the mRNA levels of ADH and ALDH in the ethanol+MSE high-, medium-, and low-dosage groups decreased ( P<0.01). Compared with the APAP model group, the expressions of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 in the APAP+MSE groups increased ( P<0.01), and the expression of CYP3A protein decreased ( P<0.05); compared with the CCl 4 model group, the expressions of CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP3A proteins in the CCl 4+MSE groups decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:MSE has a protective effect on chronic chemically-induced liver injury induced by ethanol, APAP, and CCl 4 in mice, and its mechanism may be related to antioxidant stress, inhibition of inflammatory response, and regulation of the expression of cytochrome P450-related enzymes.

Objective:To explore the barriers and facilitators of exercise rehabilitation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after radiofrequency ablation.Methods:From March to August 2022, 285 patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent radiofrequency ablation within three months were recruited from the "Cloud Ward" of the Department of Cardiovascular of the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University by convenience sampling. The Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS) and the Self-efficacy for Exercise Scale (SEE) were used to evaluate the barriers and self-efficacy of patients participating in exercise rehabilitation, respectively. Among them, 22 patients were subjected to semi-structured interviews to extract themes.Results:Among 285 patients with atrial fibrillation, 202 (70.88%) participated in exercise rehabilitation programs. Work/time conflicts, lack of cardiac rehabilitation knowledge, and health/physical function limitations affected the participation of patients in exercise rehabilitation ( P<0.05). Qualitative research extracted three themes that affected the patient's exercise rehabilitation, including capability, opportunity, and motivation. Conclusions:The participation of atrial fibrillation patients in exercise rehabilitation is influenced by multiple factors such as family responsibility, capability, motivation, and opportunity. Medical and nursing staff should comprehensively consider the above factors, develop targeted interventions from all aspects and multiple angles, so as to effectively improve the participation of patients in exercise rehabilitation.

Objective To explore the sedation and analgesia effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in patients with multiple trauma during mechanical ventilation.Methods Eighty cases of multiple trauma patients under mechanical ventilation treated from September 2016 to March 2017 were analyzed by retrospective case-control study.There were 58 males and 22 females with an age range of 18-60 years (mean,41.87 years).The injury severity score (ISS) was (18.45 ±4.53)points.The patients were treated with sedation and analgesia,and they were divided into two groups according to the sedative drugs.DEX composite tartaric acid butorphanol were used in 40 patients as DEX group.Midazolam composite tartaric acid butorphanol were used in 40 patients as Midazolam group.The degree of sedation score (Ramsay score) were compared between groups.The time from initial drug use to effective sedation achievement,daily wake-up time,mechanical ventilation duration,emergency intensive care unit (EICU) time,dosage of tartaric acid butorphanol,heart rate,blood pressure changes,and incidence of delirium were compared.Results (1) Two groups could both reach the target of sedation.DEX group had shorter daily wake-up time,shorter mechanical ventilation time and shorter length of EICU stay compared with Midazolam group (P ＜ 0.05).(2) The time to achieve satisfied sedation after initial usage in Midazolam group was shorter than that in DEX group (P ＜ 0.05).(3) DEX group had smaller tartaric dosage of acid butorphanol,and lower incidence of delirium compared those in Midazolam group (P ＜ 0.05).(4) The comparison of systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,heart rate within either group showed significant difference before and after sedation (P ＜ 0.05),but had no significant difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions For multiple trauma patients with mechanical ventilation,DEX can attain sedation and analgesia and shorten daily wake-up time,mechanical ventilation time,and length of hospital stay.DEX can reduce the dosage of analgesic (butorphanol) and the incidence of delirium.Blood pressure and heart rate are associated with small variations before and after sedation.

This study aimed at exploring a new method--microtox technology to evaluate the comprehensive toxicity of safflower injections from different drug manufacturers.In the experiment,we investigated the characteristic parameters of vibrio fischeri (CS234) under different conditions,and then locked the optimum parameters for safflower injection assay:recovery liquid volume 0.9 mL in freeze-dried vial,50 μL bacteria suspension in each sample,and the detection time of 10 mins after adding the bacteria suspension.Under this optimum detection condition,we found that the EC50 values were 3.36％,5.58％ and 4.33％,being significantly different between 3 representative drug manufacturers (P ＜ 0.05).In conclusion,it was implied that the biological detection standards of safflower injections need improving,while the microtox-based fast test of the comprehensive toxicity of safflower injection showed a favorable and prospective application to controlling the product qualities of different manufacturers.
