Objective To explore the possible mechanism of Xiebaisan in protecting against allergic asthma in rats from the perspective of host intestinal flora metabolism.Methods SPF SD rats were divided into normal group(NC group),model group(M group),and Xiebaisan group.The allergic asthma rat model was established by ovalbumin.Changes in lung histopathology were observed by HE staining.Colon contents were harvested for 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing to assess changes in the intestinal flora structure and function.Serum and lung tissue samples were collected for non-targeted metabolomics by Ultra-high performance liquid-time-of-flight mass spectrometer.Results HE staining showed some improvement of lung histomorphology in asthmatic rats in the Xiebaisan group compared with that in the M group.16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing showed that the diversity of intestinal flora was decreased in the M group and increased in the Xiebaisan group compared with the M group,the microecosystem of intestinal was improved.Non-targeted metabolomics of serum showed regulation of amino acid metabolism and the mTOR pathway in the Xiebaisan group,and partially reversed differential metabolite expression in the M group.Non-targeted metabonomics of lung tissue samples showed regulation of carbon metabolism,vascular smooth muscle and cAMP signaling pathways in the Xiebaisan group,and partially reversed differential metabolite expression in the M group.Conclusions The protective effects of Xiebaisan on allergic asthma in rats may be related to improvement of the morphological structure of lung tissue,the diversity of intestinal flora,and regulation of mTOR,vascular smooth muscle contraction,and cAMP pathways,which affect amino acid and carbon metabolism.

Inflammation， the basic pathological process of many diseases， can occur in various tissues and organs of the body and cause many diseases including cancer. So far， there are thousands of anti-inflammatory drugs on the market， but most of these drugs have adverse reactions of gastrointestinal injury， and can even cause greater damage to the body. In recent years， the research on the repurpose of Chinese medicine is in the ascendant， and the innovative research on the specific antimalarial drug artemisinin has attracted extensive attention from scholars in China and abroad. Artesunate is a water-soluble derivative of artemisinin， which has the characteristics of quick effect and low toxicity. In addition to its significant therapeutic effect on malaria， artesunate also has a potential anti-inflammatory effect. In this review， the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of artesunate were elaborated in detail by consulting the relevant literature. It was found that artesunate had good anti-inflammatory effects in the respiratory system， liver injury， osteoarthritis， dermatitis， kidney inflammation， colitis， neuroinflammation， and even in novel coronavirus disease 2019 （COVID-19）. It was concluded that artesunate mainly participated in apoptotic signal transduction， mediated immune regulation， and improved oxidative stress to play an anti-inflammatory role by acting on nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）， nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）， Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）/tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 （TRAF6）， high mobility group box 1 （HMGB1）/receptor for advanced glycation endproduct （RAGE）， and other pathways. Through the review of the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of artesunate， it is expected to provide a reference for the application of artesunate in inflammation resistance and further development and utilization of artesunate in the future.

Urine excreted by the patients during hospitalization should be handled in accordance with the requirements of the national standard HJ 1188-2021 Radiation protection and safety requirements for nuclear medicine.

Malaria is a serio us and life-threatening infectious disease that has a profound impact on human life. Artemisinin is still the first-line drug for clinical antimalarial treatment recommended by the World Health Organization. The antimalarial activity of artemisinin is mainly reflected in the peroxide bridge structure. Artemisinin-based combination therapy （ACT）is the first-line treatment for malaria in many countries. ACT mainly include artemether-lumefantrine ，artesunate-amodiaquine and dihydroartemisinin- piperaquine，etc. Compared with artemisinin monotherapy ，ACT has the advantages of shortening the length of hospital stay ， speeding up parasite clearance ，and saving economic costs ，etc. However ，there are still problems such as drug resistance. This article reviews the application status ，advantages and disadvantages of ACT at home and abroad in recent years ，in order to provide ideas for the subsequent screening of long-acting adjuvant antimalarial drugs in ACT and to solve the problem of drug resistance.

【Objective】 To investigate the management of adverse reactions to blood donation(ARBD) in blood services, so as to promote the surveillance of ARBD and improve the quality of blood donation service in Chongqing. 【Methods】 A questionnaire, involving the staff and facilities in blood donation sites as well as the prevention and treatment, the record and report, the following up and data related to ARBD was developed by Chongqing Society of Blood Transfusion in February 2019, and was issued to 18 blood services(1 blood center and its sub-center, 6 central blood stations and 11 hospital blood banks) in the Chongqing via email. The questionnaire was filled in and submitted before March 31 by management personnel participating in the investigation, and the data was collected, collated, revised and analyzed by Excel 2011. 【Results】 A total 19 questionnaires were collected, with the valid rate at 100%(19/19). 78.95%(15/19) of the blood services met the requirements of medical personnel allocation(>6 medical staff) when the number of daily blood collection was more than 60, and 100%(19/19)met the requirements of medical personnel allocation(2 to 6 medical staff) when the number of daily blood collection was less than 60. 89.47%(17/19) of the blood services were equipped with epinephrine hydrochloride, and 84.21%(16/19) with dexamethasone(an anti-allergic drug). There were significant differences in the allocation of other types of drugs. 100.00%(19/19) of the blood services formulated prevention and treatment measures concerning ARBD. In 2019, the incidence of ARBD in Chongqing was reported to be 0.54%(1 958 / 359 871), with the highestas [1.35%(223/16 543)] in subcenters and the lowest [0.32%(179/56 299)] in central blood centers (P<0.05). There was statistical significances in the incidences of ARBD reported by different blood stations(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The monitoring and management of ARBD among blood services in Chongqing should be further standardized in terms of staffing allocation, emergency drugs allocation and reporting, so as to gradually realize regional homogenization and ensure blood safety.

Objective To explore the expression and change of ski-interacting protein (SKIP) in rats after spinal cord injury. Methods A total of 60 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group (n=30) and spinal cord injury (SCI) group (n=30), each group was further divided into five time points including one day, three days, five days, seven days, and 14 days with six rats in each time points. The model was established at T10 with modified Allen's technique, and the sham group only bit the lamina of rats. The hindlimbs behavior was assessed with Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) score at each time point. The pathological changes of spinal cord neurons were detected with Nissl staining. The expression of SKIP were observed with immunofluorescence staining. Results The BBB scores were signif-icantly lower in each time point in SCI group than in the sham group (t>48.267, P<0.001). Compared with the sham group, Nissl bodies in the cytoplasm of spinal cord neurons began to disintegrate, coalesce and irregularly distribute, the neurons began to degenerate and die on the fifth day, and the damage deteriorated on the 14th day. Immunofluorescence staining showed that SKIP expression was mainly expressed in the gray matter of the spinal cord and little expressed in the white matter. The expression of SKIP gradually increased after SCI, and reached a peak on the fifth day (t=-17.035, P<0.001) and decreased significantly on the 14th day (t=3.853, P<0.05). Conclusion SKIP may be a new signaling molecule, which play an important role in neuronal apoptosis after SCI.

Objective To explore the expression and the changes of ski with time in the injured spinal cord in rats. Methods Sixty adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group (n=30) and injury group (n=30), each group were further divided into 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks subgroups, with 6 rats in each subgroup. Spinal cord injury at T10 was established with modi-fied Allen's technique (10 g × 25 mm) in the injury group. The hindlimbs behavior of rats was rated with Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scores 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after spinal cord injury. Three rats in each subgroup were stained with HE staining to observe the pathological changes of the spinal cord and the formation of cavity. The other 3 rats were analyzed with im-munofluorescence staining of ski and semi quantitative analysis. Results The BBB scores of each time point were less in the injury group than in the sham group (P<0.05). Necrosis was the major pathological change in the injury groups 1 and 2 weeks after injury;cystic cavity completely formed 4 weeks after injury, with dense scar tissue around it;there was no significant change in the cavity and scar 8 and 12 weeks after injury, however, the adjacent spinal cord was obviously thinner. Ski expressed little in the normal spinal cord, and expressed more and more after injury, peaked at 8 weeks and decreased then. Ski was mainly observed in white matter in the sham group and 12 weeks injury subgroup, which was in gray matter 2, 4 and 8 weeks after injury. Ski was highly expressed around the cavity in injury center and formed high expression band. Conclusion Ski expresses after spinal cord injury in rats, that may be associated with the activation and prolif-eration of astrocytes and the formation of glial scar.

Objective To explore the learning and memory impairment and pathology in hippocampus in rats after spinal cord contu-sion. Methods 36 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group (n=18) and spinal cord injury group (n=18). Spinal cord injury model at T10 was established with modified Allen's technique (10 g × 25 mm). The hindlimbs behavior of rats was rated with Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scores once a week for 5 weeks. They were tested with motor evoked potentials (MEP) and Morris wa-ter maze 5 weeks after injury. The pathology of hippocampus was detected with HE staining 1 week, 3 weeks and 5 weeks after injury, 4 rats in a group, repectively. Results The BBB scores were significantly lower in the spinal cord injury group than in the sham group at each time point (P<0.05). The latencies of both N1 and P1 wave of MEP were significantly longer in the spinal cord injury group than in the sham group (P<0.001), while the amplitudes were significantly less (P<0.001). For the Morris water maze, the latency of arrival platform were sig-nificantly longer in the spinal cord injury group than in the sham group (P<0.001), and the time in target was significantly less (P<0.001), with more systematic positioning or annular positioning, while the sham group with more space-based positioning. Morphologically abnor-mal cells in hippocampus gradually increased since the first week after injury, with the decrease of cells survival, while it was normal in the sham group. Conclusion Spinal cord contusion can cause learning and memory impairment in rats, which may be related to injury in hippo-campus.

Objective To study the differentiation and proliferation ability of the spinal neural stem cells (NSCs) at different gestational ages in fetal rats. Methods Sprague-Dawley fetal rats were divided into group A (12 days of pregnancy), group B (14 days of pregnancy) and group C (16 days of pregnancy). NSCs were separated with enzyme-assisted microdissection. The diameter and numbers of NSCs balls were measured at different time. The cell growth curve was drawn with CCK8 colorimeter. NSCs were identified with BrdU/Nestin immunohistochemical staining. They were induced with 10% fetal bovine serum for 10 days, and the expression of β-tubulinⅢ and glial fibrillary acidic protein was detected with immunocytochemistry. Results There were cells expressed BrdU, Nestin, β-tubulinⅢ and GFAP in all the group. The most cells (22.74±0.79%) expressed β-tubulinⅢ in the group B, but no significant difference between group B and group C. The cell vitality on the 5th day of third-generation neural stem cells was the most in group B. Conclusion For enzyme-assisted microdissection, it may obtain more neurons to isolate the neural stem cells from 14 days of pregnancy pregnant rats.
