ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical treatment plan and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) medication rule of children with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine. MethodsThe gender and age of children firstly diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome in the pediatric nephrology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from November 2019 to December 2022 were collected, and the use of immunosuppressive agents and related frequencies were counted. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, an independent TCM prescription database for children with nephrotic syndrome was established. Excel was used to analyze the relevant information of the literature. The frequency counting, association rule analysis, and cluster analysis were carried out on TCM in the prescription, and the high-frequent drugs were analyzed. Results(1) General information: A total of 711 children were included, consisting of 522 males (73.42%) and 189 females (26.58%). The ratio of male to female was about 2.76∶1. The disease mainly occurred in infants and preschool age, and the average age of onset was (4.74 ± 3.48) years old. (2) Clinical treatment plan and use of immunosuppressive agents: Of the 711 children with PNS, 237 were treated with hormone alone (32.33%), and 474 (66.67%) received immunosuppressive agents combined with hormones. In the initial treatment, hormone combined with Tacrolimus (TAC) was the preferred treatment (32.91%). For children with refractory PNS who exhibited poor clinical efficacy, Rituximab (RTX) was mostly used for treatment, with a ratio of up to 23.63%. (3) TCM syndrome and medication rule: In PNS syndrome differentiation, Qi and Yin deficiency was identified as the main syndrome. This involved a total of 477 cases, accounting for 67.09%. Yang deficiency of spleen and kidney was observed in 118 cases, accounting for 16.60%. A total of 711 children were included, of which 706 children were treated with TCM. This involved a total of 706 prescriptions, 226 TCM, and 9 793 frequencies. There were 30 herbs used more than 95 times. The top five TCM were Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae (81.16%), Radix Astragali (71.81%), Poria (68.84%), Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae (63.60%), and Fructus Corni (57.37%). The drug association rules and network diagram showed that the combination of ''Radix Astragali-Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae-Poria'' was the closest, and five types of combinations were obtained by cluster analysis. ConclusionIn the diagnosis and treatment of PNS in children, TAC combined with hormones shows good clinical efficacy and high safety. For children with refractory PNS, RTX combined with hormones can be used. TCM medication for PNS should follow the basic principles of strengthening the body and vital Qi and make good use of drugs such as Radix Astragali, Poria, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, and cornus to regulate the Yin and Yang balance and achieve better clinical efficacy.

Diabetes has long been considered a risk factor in implant therapy and impaired wound healing in soft and hard oral tissues. Magnesium has been proved to promote bone healing under normal conditions. Here, we elucidate the mechanism by which Mg2+ promotes angiogenesis and osseointegration in diabetic status. We generated a diabetic mice model and demonstrated the alveolar bone healing was compromised, with significantly decreased angiogenesis. We then developed Mg-coating implants with hydrothermal synthesis. These implants successfully improved the vascularization and osseointegration in diabetic status. Mechanically, Mg2+ promoted the degradation of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and the nucleation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) by up-regulating the expression of sestrin 2 (SESN2) in endothelial cells, thus reducing the elevated levels of oxidative stress in mitochondria and relieving endothelial cell dysfunction under hyperglycemia. Altogether, our data suggested that Mg2+ promoted angiogenesis and osseointegration in diabetic mice by regulating endothelial mitochondrial metabolism.

OBJECTIVE To construct the integrated pharmaceutical care model of in-hospital pharmaceutical care+out-hospital pharmacy outpatient service for patients with lower extremity artery disease (LEAD), so as to improve patients’ disease self- management ability, and the efficacy and safety of therapy. METHODS The in-hospital pharmaceutical care and out-hospital pharmacy outpatient service model was constructed for LEAD patients, including pharmaceutical evaluation, self-management ability education, and pharmacy follow-up, to perform long-term management of patients. Totally 65 LEAD patients admitted to the vascular surgery department of our hospital, receiving pharmacist management, from September, 2021 to December, 2022 were selected as the study objects, and pharmacists conducted in-hospital pharmaceutical care+continuous out-patient management. The efficacy indicators, safety indicators, and patients’s disease self-management ability indicators were compared before and after 3 months of pharmacist management. RESULTS After 3 months of pharmacists’ participation in the management of 65 patients, Fontaine stage decreased in 55 patients, there was the significant difference in Fontaine stage before and after management (P< 0.001). The proportion of patients who completely followed the guidelines for medication increased from 63.1% to 96.9%; the incidence of small bleeding was reduced by 7.7% after pharmacists’ management. The scores of Morisky medication compliance and patients’ disease self-management ability were higher than 3 months ago (P<0.001). Patient proportion with “good” medical satisfaction increased by 18.4%. CONCLUSIONS The in-hospital pharmaceutical care and out-hospital pharmacy outpatient service model of LEAD patients can effectively improve patients’ disease self-management ability, and improve the efficacy and safety of therapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of anti-pulmonary fibrosis of cannabidiol by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). MethodSD rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, prednisone group(3.15 mg·kg-1) and cannabidiol low, medium and high dose groups(12, 36, 108 mg·kg-1), with 8 rats in each group. The rat model of pulmonary fibrosis was established by intratracheal injection of bleomycin(5 mg·kg-1), which was administered continuously for 28 days after successful modeling. The pathological changes of rat lung tissue were observed, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect the expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase-7(MMP-7), type Ⅱ alveolar cell surface antigen(KL-6), pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A(SP-A) and SP-D in serum. The expression levels of type Ⅰ collagen(Col-Ⅰ) and fibronectin(FN) in lung tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry, and the expression of mucin 5 subtype AC(MUC5AC) was detected by immunofluorescence. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was used to search for potential biomarkers and related metabolic pathways of cannabidiol in treating pulmonary fibrosis. ResultCompared with the blank group, there were a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration and continuous fibrosis lesions in the lung tissue of rats in the model group. Compared with the model group, the inflammatory infiltration and blue collagen deposition in the lung tissue of rats in the prednisone and cannabidiol groups were reduced. Compared with the blank group, the expressions of MMP-7, KL-6, SP-A and SP-D in serum of the model group were significantly increased(P<0.01), while the expressions of MMP-7, KL-6, SP-A and SP-D in the prednisone and cannabidiol high dose groups were significantly decreased by comparing with the model group(P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the expression levels of Col-Ⅰ and FN in the lung tissues of the model group were significantly increased, and the fluorescence intensity of MUC5AC was significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression levels of Col-Ⅰ and FN in the lung tissues of the prednisone and cannabidiol high dose groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01), and the expression of MUC5AC was significantly decreased(P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, a total of 18 differential compounds were screened out in the model group, which could be used as potential biomarkers, and cannabidiol could call back 16 of them, mainly involving 4 metabolic pathways(linoleic acid metabolism, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, arachidonic acid metabolism, and niacin and niacinamide metabolism). Compared with the blank group, the relative contents of potential biomarkers arachidonic acid and linoleic acid were significantly increased in the model group(P<0.05, P<0.01), while the relative contents of 5,6-EET, L-tyrosine and niacinamide were significantly decreased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, cannabidiol could significantly reduce the relative contents of arachidonic acid and linoleic acid, and significantly increase the relative contents of 5,6-EET, L-tyrosine and niacinamide(P<0.01). ConclusionCannabidiol has an intervention and remission effect on pulmonary fibrosis, and its mechanism may be related to linoleic acid metabolism, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, arachidonic acid metabolism, niacin and niacinamide metabolism.
