ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Zishen Tiaogan prescription on the oxidative stress injury in the rat model of diminished ovarian reserve （DOR） and explore the role of the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （Keap1）/nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） signaling pathway. MethodsForty-eight female SD rats were randomly assigned into a normal group （n=12） and a modeling group （n=36）. The rats in the modeling group received subcutaneous injection of galactose （350 mg·kg^-1） combined with immobilization stress daily. After 28 days of modeling， 6 rats in the normal group and 6 rats in the modeling group were sacrificed to examine the modeling results. The successfully modeled rats were assigned into model， estradiol valerate （0.09 mg·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （6.39， 12.78， 25.56 g·kg^-1， respectively） Zishen Tiaogan prescription groups. The intervention lasted for 4 weeks with 6 animals per group. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the estrous cycle and the pathological changes in the ovarian tissue. The ovarian index was calculated. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the serum levels of sex hormones and oxidative stress-related indexes. Western blot and real-time PCR were employed to determine the protein and mRNA levels， respectively， of Nrf2， Keap1 and HO-1 in the ovarian tissue. The positive expression of superoxide dismutase 2 （SOD2） in the ovarian tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed reduced follicles in the ovary， loose arrangement of the follicle granule layer， declined levels of anti-Mullerian hormone （AMH） and estradiol （E₂） in the serum， elevated levels of luteinizing hormone （LH） and follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH） （P<0.01）， lowered levels of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， catalase （CAT）， and glutathione （GSH） （P<0.01）， and increased accumulation of malondialdehyde （MDA） （P<0.01）. In addition， the modeling led to up-regulated protein and mRNA levels of Keap1 （P<0.01）， the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein was significantly decreased （P<0.01）， the mRNA expression of Nrf2 was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， the mRNA expression of HO-1 was significantly decreased （P<0.01）， in the ovarian tissue. Compared with model group， the estradiol valerate and low-， medium-， and high-dose Zishen Tiaogan prescription groups showed increases in the ovarian index （P<0.01） and serum E₂ and AMH levels （P<0.01）， declined levels of FSH and LH （P<0.01）， increased follicles in the ovary， elevated levels of SOD， CAT， and GSH， and reduced accumulation of MDA （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Furthermore， these groups showcased down-regulated protein and mRNA levels of Keap1 （P<0.01）， the expression of Nrf2 protein was significantly increased （P<0.01）， the expression level of HO-1 protein was increased （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and increased positive expression of SOD2 （P<0.01）. ConclusionZishen Tiaogan prescription can regulate the serum levels of hormones， down-regulate the expression of Keap1， up-regulate the expression of Nrf2， HO-1， and SOD2， enhance the antioxidant capacity， and reduce the peroxidation damage in the ovarian tissue to improve the ovarian reserve function in the rat model of DOR. High-dose Zishen Tiaogan prescription demonstrated the best effect and the mechanism is associated with the regulation of the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role and possible mechanism of action of rhubarb decoction （RD） retention enema in improving inflammatory damage of brain tissue in a rat model of mild hepatic encephalopathy （MHE）. MethodsA total of 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into blank group （CON group with 6 rats） and chronic liver cirrhosis modeling group with 54 rats using the complete randomization method. After 12 weeks， 40 rats with successful modeling which were confirmed to meet the requirements for MHE model by the Morris water maze test were randomly divided into model group （MOD group）， lactulose group （LT group）， low-dose RD group （RD1 group）， middle-dose RD group （RD2 group）， and high-dose RD group （RD3 group）， with 8 rats in each group. The rats in the CON group and the MOD group were given retention enema with 2 mL of normal saline once a day； the rats in the LT group were given retention enema with 2 mL of lactulose at a dose of 22.5% once a day； the rats in the RD1， RD2， and RD3 groups were given retention enema with 2 mL RD at a dose of 2.5， 5.0， and 7.5 g/kg， respectively， once a day. After 10 days of treatment， the Morris water maze test was performed to analyze the spatial learning and memory abilities of rats. The rats were analyzed from the following aspects： behavioral status； the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and the level of blood ammonia； pathological changes of liver tissue and brain tissue； the mRNA and protein expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）， protein kinase B （AKT）， and mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） in brain tissue. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the MOD group， the RD1， RD2， and RD3 groups had a significantly shorter escape latency （all P<0.01）， significant reductions in the levels of ALT， AST， IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α， and blood ammonia （all P<0.05）， significant alleviation of the degeneration， necrosis， and inflammation of hepatocytes and brain cells， and significant reductions in the mRNA and protein expression levels of PI3K， AKT， and mTOR in brain tissue （all P<0.05）， and the RD3 group had a better treatment outcome than the RD1 and RD2 groups. ConclusionRetention enema with RD can improve cognitive function and inflammatory damage of brain tissue in MHE rats， possibly by regulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the early clinical outcomes of 5G remote telesupervised robot assisted total hip arthroplasty in the treatment of Kaschin-Beck disease with hip problems in Tibet through retrospective analysis of the hip surgery cohort.Methods:According to the operation procedure, 55 Kaschin-Beck disease patients (59 hips) undergoing total hip arthroplasty from November 2020 to November 2021 in the Karub District People's Hospital in Qamdo were divided into the conventional THA group (cTHA) and the 5G remote telesupervised robot assisted THA group (rTHA). Two of them underwent cTHA on both hips, while the other two patients underwent cTHA and rTHA separately of each hip, and the rest underwent single hip surgeries. In the cTHA group, there were 30 patients (32 hips), 16 males (17 hips) and 14 females (15 hips), aged 56.56±9.33 years (range, 36-76 years); In the rTHA group, there were 27 patients (27 hips), 10 males and 17 females, aged 55.41±10.90 years (range, 24 to 79 years). Before operation, Harris hip score was recorded and femoral offset (FO) and leg length difference (LLD) were measured via X-ray images. The operation time was collected during the hip surgery and an average network delay of 172.28±36.58 ms and a 1.08% data packet loss ratio is obtained during telesupervision. 24 hours post-operatively, the FO and LLD were both measured via the X-ray images, as well as the inclination and anteversion of the acetabular cup. The Harris scores were collected in the following up. The operation time, FO, LLD, inclination, anteversion and Harris score were compared between the two groups.Results:All cases in both groups were followed up for an average of 9.39±2.43 months (range, 6-19 months). There were no significant differences in pre-operative FO and LLD, preoperative Harris scores or average follow-up time between the two groups. The operation time in rTHA group was 126.41±12.78 min, which is significantly longer than the time 88.81±8.83 min in cTHA group ( t=13.31, P<0.001). After operation, the FO was significantly increased and the LLD was significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The postoperative LLD was 0.63±0.65 cm in the robot group and 1.15±0.71 cm in the conventional group, the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.88, P=0.006). However, there was no significant difference in the FO, inclination and anteversion between the two groups post-operatively ( P>0.05). The Harris scores of both groups were significantly improved compared with that before the operation. Additionally, the Harris score of the two groups was significantly higher than that before surgery, and the postoperative Harris score of the rTHA was 69.00±12.33 higher than that of the cTHA (62.31±11.87), with statistical significance ( t=2.12, P=0.039). The ratio of excellence of Harris score was 19% (5/27) in the rTHA and 9% (3/32) in the cTHA, with no significant difference between groups (χ 2=1.05, P=0.522). Conclusion:Compared to conventional surgery, 5G remote telesupervised robot assisted total hip arthroplasty has more advantages in improving the joint functions in the treatment of hip problems caused by Kashin-beck disease in Tibet Autonomous Region, and facilitates more accurate adjustment of lower limb length difference, even though it consumes more operation time.

ObjectiveTo investigate the molecular mechanism of cordycepin inhibiting proliferation and promoting apoptosis of human hepatoma cells （HCCs）. MethodGlioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 （Gli1） gene was silenced by small interfering RNA （siRNA） and transfected into SMMC-7721 cells， and then cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay and cell cloning assay. SMMC-7721 cells were treated with different concentration of cordycepin， and the cell proliferation and apoptosis were examined. The expression of Gli1 and the downstream related genes was determined by Real-time polymerase chain reaction（PCR） and Western blot. ResultThe mRNA and protein expression of Gli1 in SMMC-7721 cells was higher than that in normal liver cells （P<0.01）. The proliferation rate of SMMC-7721 with silenced Gli1 decreased at 72 and 96 h （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the colony-forming capacity lowered （P<0.01） compared with those in the blank group. Compared with the control， 80 μmol·L^-1 and 120 μmol·L^-1 cordycepin significantly inhibited the proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells at 72 and 96 h （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and promoted the apoptosis of them （P<0.01）. Moreover， 80 and 120 μmol·L^-1 cordycepin restrained the mRNA and protein expression of Gli1 in SMMC7721 cells （P<0.05， P<0.01）. At 120 μmol·L^-1， cordycepin led to the decrease in the mRNA and protein levels of B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2） and c-Myc （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the increase in the mRNA and protein expression of cysteine-aspartic acid protease-3 （Caspase-3） （P<0.05）. ConclusionGli1 is highly expressed in HCCs， and cordycepin can suppress the proliferation and enhance the apoptosis of HCCs by regulating Gli1 and the downstream apoptosis-related factors.

Objective:To observe the effects of modified Liuwei Dihuangtang on serum fibroblast growth factor 23 （FGF23）， full-length intact parathyroid hormone （iPTH）， and 1，25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ ［1，25（OH）₂D₃］ levels and Klotho and FGF23 protein expression in renal and bone tissues of rats exposed to high phosphorus combined with adenine， so as to explore the mechanism of modified Liuwei Dihuangtang against renal osteopathy. Method:One hundred and thirty healthy adult SD rats were randomly divided into five groups， namely normal group（n=10），high phosphorus group（n=30），model group（n=30），modified Liuwei Dihuangtang group（n=30） ， and calcitriol group（n=30），and rats in each group were further classified based on three time points， namely 8，10， and 12 weeks. Rats in the normal group were fed with normal diet， the ones in the high phosphorus group with high phosphorus diet， and those in the other groups with adenine and high phosphorus diet for inducing renal osteopathy. Rats in the normal group，high phosphorus group， and model group were intragastrically administered with distilled water （10 mL·kg^-1·d^-1），the ones in the modified Liuwei Dihuangtang group with modified Liuwei Dihuangtang （2.556 g·kg^-1·d^-1） ， and those in the calcitriol group with calcitriol （0.09 μg·kg^-1·d^-1）. Result:Compared with the normal group and high phosphorus group at the weeks of 8，10 and 12，the model group displayed significantly elevated blood urea nitrogen（BUN），serum creatinine（SCr），serum phosphorus，iPTH，FGF23，renal interstitial fibrosis score， and FGF23 expression in renal and bone tissues， but lowered serum calcium and 1，25（OH）₂D₃ and Klotho protein expression in renal and bone tissues（P<0.05 ，P<0.01）. Compared with the model group at the weeks of 8，10 and 12， the modified Liuwei Dihuangtang and calcitriol both significantly decreased the serum BUN，SCr，serum phosphorus，iPTH， FGF23， tubulointerstitial semi-quantitative score， and FGF23 expression in renal and bone tissues， while increased the serum calcium，1，25（OH）₂D₃， and Klotho protein expression in renal and bone tissues （P<0.05，P<0.01）. There was no significant difference in the above-mentioned indexes between the modified Liuwei Dihuangtang group and the calcitriol group at the same time point. Conclusion:Klotho-FGF23 axis is probably involved in renal osteopathy. The modified Liuwei Dihuangtang effectively improves renal function，alleviates pathological changes in renal and bone tissues，and regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism to protect the bone， which is related to its regulation of Klotho-FGF23 axis.
