Objective To investigate the effect of Huangzhi oral liquid on ferroptosis and apoptosis of hepatocytes in acute hyperlipidemia mice based on abnormal lipid metabolism.Methods Forty SPF grade C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to the normal control group,the model group,Huangzhi oral liquid low-dose and high-dose groups,and fenofibrate group,with 8 mice in each group.All administration groups were given Huangzhi oral liquid and fenofibrate by gavage at corresponding doses,while the normal control group and the model group were given the same dose of distilled water for a period of 5 days.on the third day of administration,in addition to the normal control group,other groups were injected intramuscularly with Triton WR-1339 to establish a hyperlipidemia model.After the administration,the serum lipid levels and liver function in mice were detected.The pathological changes of liver were observed by HE staining and lipid accumulation was observed by oil red O staining.The iron content in liver tissues was detected by tissue iron assay kit.The changes in protein expression of ABCA1,ABCG5,LXRα,ASGR1,cleaved-PARP,cleaved-caspase 3,Bcl2,Bax,TFR1,SLC7A11,GCLM,GPX4 and FTH1 in liver were detected by Western Blot.Results Compared with the model group,Huangzhi oral liquid could reduce the lipid vacuoles in liver tissues,alleviate the degree of lipid degeneration,reduce the content of TC,TG,LDL-C,AST and ALT in serum,increase the content of HDL-C,increase the protein expression levels of ABCA1,ABCG5,LXRα,Bcl-2,SLC7A11,GCLM,GPX4 and FTH1 in mice liver tissues,reduce the protein expression levels of ASGR1,cleaved-PARP,cleaved-caspase 3,Bax and TFR1.Conclusion Huangzhi oral liquid can alleviate the abnormal lipid metabolism in acute hyperlipidemia mice,thus alleviates hepatocyte apoptosis and ferroptosis.

Background Mitochondrial dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) regulates mitochondrial division and plays an important role in maintaining hepatocyte function. However, the role of DRP1 in cadmium exposure-induced maternal liver damage in pregnant mice remains unclear. Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of DRP1 in maternal liver damage induced by cadmium exposure during pregnancy. Methods This study consisted of animal experiments and cell experiments. (1) Animal experiments. Mice at 14 days of gestation were randomly divided into three groups: a control group, a low-dose cadmium group (LCd group: 2.5 mg·kg⁻¹), and a high-dose cadmium group (HCd group: 5 mg·kg⁻¹). The pregnant mice were intraperitoneally injected with cadmium chloride (CdCl₂) for 6 and 24 h in the next morning. The weights of pregnant mice, uterus, maternal liver, and fetal mice were recorded after sacrifice. Serum and liver of pregnant mice were collected, the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum were detected, and liver tissues were stained with HE to observe changes in liver function and liver tissue structure. The expressions of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins, hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and DRP1 proteins in liver of pregnant mice were detected by Western blotting. (2) Cell experiments. AML12 cells were treated with CdCl₂ (10 μmol·L⁻¹) for 0, 2, 6, 12, and 24 h. The expressions of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins, DRP1, and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) proteins were detected. AML12 cells were pretreated with DRP1 inhibitor Mdivi-1 for 1 h and then CdCl₂ (10 μmol·L⁻¹) for 12 h to detect the expression of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins and DRP1 protein. AML12 cells were treated with Hif-1α siRNA for 48 h and CdCl₂ (10 μmol·L⁻¹) for 6 h to detect the expression of HIF-1α and DRP1 proteins. Results The results of animal experiments showed that cadmium exposure in pregnant mice had no effects on maternal liver weight and liver coefficient. However, the histomorphological changes and necrosis in hepatocytes were observed. Compared with the control group, the serum ALT and AST levels of pregnant mice in the LCd group were significantly increased after 6 h (P＜0.05), and the levels in the HCd group were significantly increased after 6 and 24 h (P＜0.05). Cadmium exposure during pregnancy significantly up-regulated HIF-1α and DRP1 expressions and down-regulated the expressions of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins in maternal livers. In vitro cell experiments showed that the expressions of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins was significantly decreased and HIF-1α and DRP1 protein expressions were significantly increased in the AML12 cells treated with CdCl₂ for 6 h. Mdivi-1 pretreatment significantly antagonized the inhibitory effect of cadmium on the expressions of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins in AML12 cells, while Hif-1α siRNA pretreatment significantly antagonized the up-regulative effect of cadmium on DRP1 expression in AML12 cells. Conclusion Cadmium exposure in pregnant mice may up-regulate DRP1 expression by activating HIF-1α signaling, then inhibit oxidative phosphorylation level of hepatic cells, and ultimately lead to maternal liver damage.

Objective:To study the feasibility and efficacy of the modified posterolateral laparoscopic approach for resection of massive splenomegaly.Methods:The data of 48 patients who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy for massive splenomegaly at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University (Wuxi 4th People's Hospital) from January 2016 to July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 29 males and 19 females, with an average age of 55.8 years. These 48 patients were divided into two groups according to the operative approach, the study group ( n=26) using the modified posterolateral approach which treated the splenic pedicle as the last step; and the control group ( n=22) which used the posterior tunnel of splenic pedicle established by anterior approach to treat the splenic pedicle first. The operation time, gastrointestinal function, recovery time, intraoperative blood loss, rates of conversion to laparotomy and postoperative complications were compared between two groups. The follow-up data were also analyzed. Results:There were no significant differences in operation gastrointestinal function recovery and hospitalization time between the two groups (all P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss, numbers of patients with convention to open surgery and intraoperative blood transfusion, were (50.2±15.1) ml vs (160.1±40.3) ml, 2 patients (7.7%) vs 7 patients (31.8%), and 1 patients (3.8%) vs 5 patients (22.7%), in study group and control group respectively. The differences between groups were significant (all P<0.05). The complications of the study group and control group were 9 patients (34.6%) vs 13 patients (59.1%), which were significantly in the two groups ( P<0.05). On follow-up which ranged from 1 to 15 months, the numbers of patients with thrombocytosis and portal vein thrombosis in the study group and the control group were 20 patients (76.9%) vs 17 patients (77.3%), and 7 patients (26.9%) vs 6 patients (27.3%), respectively. Conclusion:The modified posterolateral laparoscopic approach for resection of massive splenomegaly was safe and feasible. It should be promoted to treat massive splenomegaly.
