Objective To investigate the mechanism of sanguinarine(SA)for alleviating ulcerative colitis(UC)induced by dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)in mice.Methods Male C57BL/6 mouse models of 3.5%DSS-induced UC were randomized for treatment with 1,5 and 10 mg/kg SA by gavage,400 mg/kg sulfasalazine by gavage,or 10 mg/kg SA combined with intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg ML385(a Nrf2 inhibitor).The changes in intestinal inflammation was assessed by monitoring weight changes,disease activity index(DAI)score,colon length measurement,and HE staining.After the treatments,the colon tissues were collected for detection of malondialdehyde(MDA)content using colorimetry,mRNA expressions of inflammatory factors using RT-qPCR,and the expressions of Nrf2,HO-1,Keap-1,p-p65,p65,occludin,and ZO-1 proteins were detected using Western blotting.Results SA treatment obviously alleviated weight loss,colon length shortening and DAI score increase and ameliorated structural destruction of the colon glands and colonic crypts in mice with DSS-induced UC.SA intervention significantly decreased the levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA and lowered ROS and MDA levels in the colon tissue of UC mice.The mouse models receiving SA treatment showed significantly increased expressions of Nrf2,HO-1,occludin and ZO-1 and lowered expressions of Keap-1 and P-P65 in the colon tissue without significant changes of p65 expression,and these changes were SA dose-dependent.Treatment with ML385 obviously attenuated the effect of high-dose SA for improving UC in the mouse models.Conclusion SA can improve UC-like enteritis in mice possibly by activating the Nrf2 pathway and inhibiting the NF-κB pathway in the colon tissue.

Objective To investigate the effect of sanguinarine(SAN)on proliferation and ferroptosis of colorectal cancer cells.Methods SW620 and HCT-116 cells treated with different concentrations of SAN were examined for cell viability changes using CCK8 assay to determine the IC50 of SAN in the two cells.The inhibitory effects of SAN on proliferation,invasion and migration of the cells were evaluated using colony-forming assay and Transwell assays.ROS production in the treated cells was analyzed with flow cytometry,and lipid peroxide production was assessed by detecting malondialdehyde(MDA)level.Glutathione(GSH)levels in the cells were detected,and Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of ferroptosis-related proteins STUB1 and GPX4.Results SAN significantly inhibited the proliferation,invasion and migration of SW620 and HCT-116 cells.SAN treatment significantly promoted ROS production,increased intracellular MDA level,and lowered GSH level in the two cells(P<0.05).Western blotting showed that SAN significantly upregulated the expression of STUB1 and down-regulated the expression of its downstream protein GPX4(P<0.05).Conclusion SAN induces ferroptosis in colorectal cancer cells by regulating STUB1/GPX4,which may serve as a new therapeutic target for colorectal cancer.

Objective:To observe the effect of liraglutide on the correlation between nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) infl ammasome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:Thirty-nine NAFLD cases (group N) and thirty-nine healthy subjects (group C) were selected from the physical examination center, and their general data were collected to determine the serum levels of NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-18. The differences and correlations were analyzed between the two sets of indicators. Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal (NC, n=10) and high-fat diet group (HF, n=20). The normal group were fed with normal diet and high-fat diet group were fed with high-fat diet. After 12 weeks of feeding, HF group was randomly divided into HF group ( n=10) and liraglutide group (100L, n=10), and were given 0.5 ml/kg sterile isotonic saline and 100 g/kg liraglutide subcutaneously twice a day, respectively. Four weeks later, serum biochemical indicators, liver NLRP3 infl ammasome protein expression, and infl ammatory cytokine conditions were detected in each group. Statistical analysis was performed using t test, oneway analysis of variance (ANOVA) or χ2 test. Results:There were no statistically signifi cant differences between N and C group in terms of age, gender, diastolic blood pressure, glycosylated hemoglobin, mean platelet volume, erythrocyte distribution width, serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-Ch), total cholesterol, and total bileacid. Compared with group C, group N had elevated systolic blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose, blood creatinine, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), NLRP3, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18, TG, blood uric acid, γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and white blood cell counts, while HDL-Ch and total bilirubin were depleted than group C, and the difference was statistically significant ( P< 0.05). NLRP3 was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure, BMI, fasting blood glucose, serum creatinine, IL-1β, IL-18, triglycerides, serum uric acid, GGT, ALT, AST, but negatively correlated with total bilirubin and HDL-Ch, and the difference was statistically signifi cant. Compared with NC group, HF group had significantly increased body mass, liver mass, serum biochemical indicators (triglycerides, AST, ALT), liver NLRP3 inflammasome protein expression, and inflammatory cytokines. After treatment with liraglutide, 100L group indicators were signifi cantly decreased when compared to HF group. Conclusion:Compared with healthy subjects, the infl ammation-related indicators, body mass, blood lipids and liver function-related indicators are signifi cantly changed in patients with NAFLD, which is also consistent with the results of rat model study. Liraglutide treatment had improved NAFLD to certain extent in NAFLD rats, so NLRP3 regulation may be one of the mechanisms to improve liver inflammation and steatosis.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors and etiological characteristics of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infection after traumatic brain injury, and to explore its nursing countermeasures.Methods:From January 2019 to January 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 478 patients with post-traumatic infection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University as the research object. The patients' gender, age, underlying diseases, and infection types were collected, and the patients were divided into MDRO infection group ( n=69) and non-MDRO infection group ( n=409) according to whether the pathogen was MDRO. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of MDRO infection. Results:Logistic regression analysis showed that cerebrovascular disease, malnutrition, history of shock, invasive operation, and combined use of antibiotics were independent risk factors for MDRO infection, and the difference was statistical ( P<0.05) . A total of 516 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected in the infected samples of 478 patients, of which 386 were target strains, involving 73 strains of MDRO (18.91%) , including 22 strains of Staphylococcus aureus (30.14%) , 14 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (19.18%) , 13 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae (17.81%) , 11 strains of Escherichia coli (15.07%) , 10 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii (13.70%) , 3 strains of Enterococcus faecalis (4.11%) . The lower respiratory tract was the main site of infection, followed by the urinary tract, wound and upper respiratory tract. Conclusions:Combination of underlying diseases, invasive operation, and combined use of antibiotics all increase the risk of postoperative MDRO infection in patients with traumatic brain injury. Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae are common MDROs. Clinical nurses should strengthen the monitoring of the condition of patients with traumatic brain injury, do a good job of isolation protection, to prevent the occurrence of respiratory system, urinary system and wound infection in patients.

Objective:To investigate the changes of serum miR-33 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and analyze the relationship between miR-33 and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:From July 2019 to January 2020, 25 healthy subjects (control group), 25 NAFLD patients (NAFLD group), 25 T2DM patients hospitalized in the department of endocrinology (T2DM group) and 25 T2DM patients with NAFLD (NAFLD combined with T2DM group) were selected. The basic data of the subjects were collected, and the levels of miR-33 and other biochemical indexes in the serum of the four groups were detected. The risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease were analyzed.Results:There was no significant difference between T2DM group and T2DM group with NAFLD in course of disease, medication history and incidence of complications ( P<0.05). The levels of serum miR-33 in T2DM group, NAFLD group and T2DM combined with NAFLD group were higher than those in healthy people, and the level of serum miR-33 in the combined group was the highest ( P<0.05). The differences in systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol (TC), fasting blood glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin, triglycerides (HbA1c), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), uric acid (UA), serum creatinine (Scr), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the four groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The level of miR-33 was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure, FPG, HbA1c, TG, UA and GGT ( P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the level of HDL-C ( P<0.05). MiR-33, systolic blood pressure and FPG increased the risk of NAFLD in T2DM patients ( OR=8.999, 1.083, 2.071, P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum miR-33 is the influencing factor of T2DM and NAFLD diseases and the risk factor of T2DM patients with NAFLD. It may affect the occurrence and development of metabolic diseases by participating in the regulation of glycolipid metabolism.
