BACKGROUND:"Tendon off-position"is a disease name included in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision,and also a clinical indication of manipulation,acupuncture and other treatments.However,its specific mechanism is still unclear.It is urgent to establish an animal model that can reflect the clinical and pathological characteristics of"tendon off-position,"so as to further study the mechanism of effective clinical treatments. OBJECTIVE:To establish an animal model of"tendon off-position"in rats based on isometric contraction of skeletal muscles,and to explore the changes of skeletal muscle function and morphological phenotype after"tendon off-position." METHODS:Sixty rats were randomly divided into control group,static-loading group and extra loading group,with twenty rats in each group.Rats in the control group were kept normally without treatment.In the latter two groups,the rats were fixed by the self-made static-loading modeling device and a static-loading(the body mass of each rats was applied as the static-loading)was applied to cause sustained isometric contraction of the upper limb muscles.Then,animal models of"tendon off-position"were successfully established.In the extra loading group,50%of the body mass was added to the ankle joint after modeling.The skeletal muscle samples were harvested at 2 and 4 weeks after modeling.The changes of limb grip strength,wet mass of skeletal muscle,and serum levels of creatine kinase-muscle and lactate dehydrogenase A were measured,and the changes of skeletal muscle histomorphology and ultrastructure were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 2 weeks after modeling,the rats in the static-loading group and extra loading group showed significantly decreased grip strength and wet muscle mass,significantly increased serum levels of creatine kinase-muscle and lactate dehydrogenase A,and abnormal muscle fiber morphology and structure accompanied by a large number of deposited collagen fibers.Electron microscopy results showed that the structure of myofibrils was disordered,the Z-line was distorted,and the light and dark boundaries were blurred.At 4 weeks after modeling,the grip strength of the model rats was increased compared with that at 2 weeks,the serum creatine kinase-muscle and lactate dehydrogenase A levels were decreased,and the changes of muscle fiber morphology and ultrastructure were recovered to varying degrees.It is suggested that the rat skeletal muscle injury model based on continuous isometric contraction of skeletal muscle can well reflect the pathological characteristics of"tendon off-position"at 2 weeks,and can be used to study the mechanism of acupuncture and manipulation in the treatment of"tendon off-position."

OBJECTIVE To explore the improvement effect and mechanism of vitexin on asthmatic model mice based on Notch signaling pathway. METHODS Asthma model of mice was established by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin and aluminum hydroxide suspension and nebulization stimulation of ovalbumin, and randomly divided into model group, vitexin group (40 mg/kg), Notch activator group (1 mg/kg Jagged1), vitexin+Notch activator group (40 mg/kg vitexin+1 mg/kg Jagged1), with 12 mice in each group. Another 12 mice were selected as the control group. Each group received intragastric/intraperitoneal injection of relevant medicine or normal saline, once a day, for consecutive 14 days. After the last medication, minute ventilation at rest (VE) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were detected in mice; the pathological morphology of lung tissue and fibrosis degeneration were observed and determined. The proportion of T helper cell 17 (Th17) and T regulatory cell (Treg) in peripheral blood were detected, and the Th17/Treg ratio was calculated. The levels of serum inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-18, IL-6, IL-17 and IL-10 were determined, and the expressions of Notch1, Delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4), hairy and enhancer of split 1 (Hes1) in lung tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group, serious pathological injury and inflammatory cell infiltration occurred in the lung tissue of mice in the model group, while VE, PEF, the proportion of Treg cells in peripheral blood and serum level of IL-10 were significantly reduced (P<0.05); collagen volume fraction (CVF) in lung tissue, Th17 cells proportion and Th17/Treg ratio in peripheral blood, serum levels of IL-18, IL-6 and IL-17, and the protein expressions of Notch1, DLL4 and Hes1 in lung tissue were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the pathological injury of lung tissue in vitexin group was significantly improved compared with model group, and the changing trend of the above indexes was reversed (P<0.05); Notch activator Jagged1 could significantly reverse the pharmacological effects of vitexin on asthmatic mice (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Vitexin can improve lung function, Th17/Treg immune imbalance and inflammatory response, and alleviate pathological injury and fibrosis of lung tissue in asthmatic mice by inhibiting the Notch signaling pathway.

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) in children.Methods:Clinical characteristics of 4 AFM cases from Department of Neurology, Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics, from September 2018 to November 2022, were analyzed retrospectively.Results:The age of 4 children with AFM was 7 years, 4 years and 3 months, 7 years and 1 month, 6 years and 5 months, respectively. There were 2 boys and 2 girls. Prodromal infection status showed 3 children of respiratory tract infection and 1 child of digestive tract infection. The main manifestation was asymmetrical limb weakness after infection, and the affected limb range was from monoplegia to quadriplegia. Cranial nerve injury was involved in 1 child, no encephalopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging in the spinal cord of all 4 children showed long T1 and T2 signals, mainly involving gray matter. Cerebrospinal fluid cell-protein separation was observed in 2 children. Pathogen detected in 1 child pharyngeal swab was enterovirus D68. Antibody IgM to adenovirus was positive in the blood of 1 child. Antibody IgG against Echo and Coxsackie B virus were positive in the blood of another child. After glucocorticoid, human immunoglobulin or simple symptomatic treatment and at the same time under later rehabilitation training, muscle strength recovered to different degrees, but there were disabilities left in 3 children.Conclusions:AFM should be considered in children with acute and asymmetrical flaccid paralysis accompanied by abnormal magnetic resonance imaging signal in the central region of spinal cord, especially post-infection. The effective treatment is limited and the prognosis is poor.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the molding process of Shuangye pipa granules based on the concept of quality by design (QbD) and analyze its physical fingerprint. METHODS The dry extract of Shuangye pipa granules was used as the main drug. The retention rate of total flavonoid, moisture absorption rate, dissolution rate, angle of repose and molding rate of the granules were selected as evaluation indexes. The single-factor test combined with the entropy weight method and Box-Behnken response surface design was used to optimize the molding process, and validation test was conducted. The physical fingerprints of 10 batches of Shuangye pipa granules prepared by the optimal process were comprehensively analyzed by eight secondary physical indexes (relative homogeneity, moisture, moisture absorption rate, Hausner ratio, angle of repose, bulk density, tap density and porosity). RESULTS The optimal molding process of Shuangye pipa granules was as follows: soluble starch-maltodextrin-mannitol was 1∶1∶1 (m/m/m), 95% ethanol was as wetting agent and the amount of it was 37%, the drug-assisted ratio was 1∶0.8 (m/m), the drying temperature was 59 ℃, drying time was 28 min. The results of 3 validation tests showed that the average comprehensive score was 0.879 6, the RSD of which with prediction value (0.881 9 score) was 1.97%. The similarity between the physical fingerprints of 10 batches of Shuangye pipa granules and the control physical fingerprint was higher than 0.99. CONCLUSIONS The optimized molding process of Shuangye pipa granules is stable and feasible, and the physical property of Shuangye pipa granules is stable and controllable.
