Objective:To investigate the effect of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) regulating the signal axis of stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α)/CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) on the mobilization of bone marrow endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) to peripheral blood in diabetes skin ulcer (DSU) rats.Methods:Twenty four SPF grade male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were selected to make the model of type 2 diabetes rats by intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg 1% (plastid ratio) streptozotocin, and then round full-thickness skin with a diameter of 2 cm was cut on both sides of the waist and back to make the skin ulcer model of diabetes rats. After that, they were randomly divided into AS-IV group (50 mg/kg AS-IV), blocker group (50 mg/kg AS-IV+ 5 mg/kg AMD3100) and model group. At the same time, a blank group ( n=8) was set up, The drug was administered via intraperitoneal injection, and the model group and blank group were treated with 0.9% NaCl of equal volume. On the 10th day, peripheral blood, femoral bone marrow, and wound neovascularization tissues of rats were collected. The number of EPCs in peripheral blood of each group of rats was measured by flow cytometry, and the protein expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in peripheral blood, femoral bone marrow, and wound neovascularization tissues of rats was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); At the same time, the wound healing rates of each group were tested. Results:On the 10th and 21st day after modeling, the wound healing rate of each group of rats was compared. The blank group healed the fastest, while the model group healed the slowest. The AS-IV group had better healing than the model group and the blocker group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). On the 10th day after modeling, the positive rates of peripheral blood EPCs in the white group, AS-IV group, and blocker group were significantly higher than those in the model group (all P<0.05), while the positive rates of peripheral blood EPCs in the blocker group were significantly lower than those in the AS-IV group (all P<0.05). On the 10th day after modeling, the protein expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in the wound, serum, and bone marrow of the model group was the lowest, while the protein expression in the blank group was the highest (all P<0.05). The protein expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in the wound, serum, bone marrow of the AS-IV group was significantly higher than that of the blocker group and model group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Astragaloside IV can promote the mobilization and migration of endothelial progenitor cells from bone marrow to peripheral blood in diabetes ulcer rats by regulating SDF-1α/CXCR4 signal axis, and can participate in angiogenesis of diabetes ulcer wounds as seed cells to promote the healing of diabetes skin ulcers.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oliceridine for treatment of moderate to severe pain after surgery with general anesthesia in patients.Methods:The patients with moderate to severe pain (numeric pain rating scale ≥4) after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia from 14 hospitals between July 6, 2021 and November 9, 2021 were included in this study. The patients were assigned to either experiment group or control group using a random number table method. Experiment group received oliceridine, while control group received morphine, and both groups were treated with a loading dose plus patient-controlled analgesia and supplemental doses for 24 h. The primary efficacy endpoint was the drug response rate within 24 h after giving the loading dose. Secondary efficacy endpoints included early (within 1 h after giving the loading dose) drug response rates and use of rescue medication. Safety endpoints encompassed the development of respiratory depression and other adverse reactions during treatment.Results:After randomization, both the full analysis set and safety analysis set comprised 180 cases, with 92 in experiment group and 88 in control group. The per-protocol set included 170 cases, with 86 in experiment group and 84 in control group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in 24-h drug response rates, rescue analgesia rates, respiratory depression, and incidence of other adverse reactions ( P>0.05). The analysis of full analysis set showed that the experiment group had a higher drug response rate at 5-30 min after giving the loading dose compared to control group ( P<0.05). The per-protocol set analysis indicated that experiment group had a higher drug response rate at 5-15 min after giving the loading dose than control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:When used for treatment of moderate to severe pain after surgery with general anesthesia in patients, oliceridine provides comparable analgesic efficacy to morphine, with a faster onset.

Objective:To explore the mechanism by which miRNA-4469 (miR-4469) regulates the proliferation and invasion of renal cancer cells in vitro.Methods:The survival differences of patients with different expression levels of miR-4469 were analyzed based on the OncomiR database. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method was used to detect the expression of miR-4469 in renal cancer cell lines ACHN, OS-RC-2, SK-RC-20, 769-P, A498 and normal renal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2, and the renal cancer cells with the lowest expression level of miR-4469 were divided into miR-4469 group and control group, and were transfected with miR-4469 mimic and negative control sequence, respectively. The CCK-8 assay was used to detect the cell proliferation ability (expressed as absorbance value) in the two groups, and Transwell assay was used to analyze the number of invasive cells in the two groups. TargetScan Release 8.0 software was used to predict the binding site between miR-4469 and protein disulfide isomerase A4 (PDIA4) mRNA, and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between miR-4469 and PDIA4 mRNA. qRT-PCR method was used to detect the expression of PDIA4 mRNA in cells of each group, and Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of PDIA4 protein and PI3K-AKT-m-TOR pathway proteins in cells of each group.Results:Analysis of relevant data from the OncomiR database showed that compared with patients with low miR-4469 expression, the overall survival of renal cancer patients with high miR-4469 expression was better ( P < 0.001). The relative expression of miR-4469 in each renal cancer cell line was lower than that in HK-2 cells (all P < 0.05), and the expression of miR-4469 in 769-P cells was the lowest, which were selected to perform the subsequent experiments. The proliferation ability of 769-P cells in the miR-4469 group was lower than that in the control group ( P < 0.01). The number of 769-P cell invasions in the miR-4469 group were less than that in the control group [(19±3) cells vs. (64±7) cells, t = 5.44, P = 0.002]. Compared with the co-transfection of wild-type PDIA4 and miR-4469 negative sequence group, the relative luciferase activity of cells in the co-transfection of wild-type PDIA4 and miR-4469 mimic sequence group was lower (0.42±0.07 vs. 1.01±0.08, t = 5.74, P = 0.001); there was no statistical difference in cell luciferase activity between the co-transfected mutant PDIA4 and miR-4469 negative sequence group and the co-transfected mutant PDIA4 and miR-4469 mimic sequence group (0.99±0.11 vs. 1.02±0.11, t = 0.19, P = 0.001). The relative expression levels of PDIA4 mRNA in 769-P cells in the miR-4469 group were lower than that in the control group (0.98±0.23 vs. 7.19±2.23, t = 2.77, P = 0.032). Compared with the control group, the expression of PDIA4 protein and PI3K-AKT-m-TOR pathway-related p-PI3K, p-AKT, p-mTOR, and p-SGK1 proteins in 769-P cells in the miR-4469 group were all lower (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:miR-4469 may be related to the survival of renal cancer patients, and its expression is down-regulated in various renal cancer cell lines. miR-4469 may inhibit the proliferation and invasion of renal cancer 769-P cells by regulating the PI3K-AKT-m-TOR pathway through PDIA4.

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprints of Tianma jiannao granules (TJG) and the method for content determination to evaluate the quality of TJG comprehensively combined with chemometric analysis. METHODS High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to establish the fingerprints of 13 batches (S1-S3) of TJG and determine the contents of inosine, gastrodin, parishin B and parishin E. Cluster analysis, principal component analysis, and orthogonal partial least squares- discriminant analysis were performed using SPSS 20.0 and SIMCA 18 software; using variable importance projection (VIP) value greater than 1 as a criterion, marker components that affected quality were screened. RESULTS A total of 28 common peaks were identified in the 13 batches of TJG with similarities greater than 0.9, and 7 common peaks were identified, which were gastrodin, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, parishin B, parishin E, rhynchophylline, inosine and salidroside. The 13 batches of TJG were clustered into 3 categories, S1-S2, S8-S10 and S12 were clustered into one category; S3 and S7 were clustered into one category; S4-S6, S11 and S13 were clustered into one category. VIP of inosine was greater than 1. The contents of inosine, gastrodin, parishin B and parishin E were 62.637-176.677, 17.821-37.642, 5.748-16.077 and 5.660-13.510 μg/g. CONCLUSIONS The established HPLC fingerprints and content determination method are stable, reliable and highly reproducible, which can be used to evaluate the quality of TJG in combination with chemometric analysis. Inosine may be a marker component that affects the quality of TJG. There are differences in the quality of 13 batches of TJG.

BackgroundSibling relationships play a critical role in shaping anxiety symptoms in firstborn children. Anxiety symptoms often originate in early childhood and can persist into adolescence and adulthood. However, there is insufficient research on anxiety symptoms in preschool children, especially firstborn preschool children. ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors of anxiety symptoms among firstborn preschool children, so as to provide references for the intervention of anxiety symptom for children in families with multiple children. MethodsFrom October to December 2021, a total of 8 449 children from 234 kindergartens in Longhua District of Shenzhen were included using a cluster sampling method. Sibling Inventory of Behavior (SIB) and Spence Preschool Anxiety Scale (SPAS) were used to investigate. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify influencing factors of anxiety symptoms in firstborn preschool children. ResultsA total of 8 419 (99.64%) valid questionnaires were collected. Anxiety symptoms were detected in 344(4.09%) firstborn preschool children. Statistically significant differences were observed between anxiety group and non-anxiety group in terms of household registration, monthly family income, maternal age, maternal education level, paternal education level, family living conditions and whether they are left-behind children (χ2/t=9.906, 33.490, 5.136, 13.485, 9.690, 17.332, 21.975, P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with non-anxiety group, children in the anxiety group scored higher on the SIB dimensions of rivalry, aggression and avoidance (t=165.322, 74.471, 286.419, P<0.01), and lower on companionship, empathy and teaching (t=59.133, 42.417, 39.112, P<0.01). Risk factors for anxiety symptoms in firstborn preschool children included left-behind children, as well as negative sibling relationships characterized by rivalry and avoidance (OR=1.195, 1.143, 1.260, P<0.05 or 0.01). ConclusionFirstborn preschool children who are left-behind are more susceptible to anxiety symptoms. Negative sibling relationships, characterized by competition and avoidance, may also contribute to the emergence of anxiety symptoms in firstborn preschool children.
