Objective To explore the impact of adipokine metabolism on coronary microvascular dysfunction(MVD)and the clinical application value of Shexiang Tongxin dropping pill(STDP).Methods From Sep.2018 to Dec.2019,41 patients with coronary heart disease in Department of Cardiology,Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were enrolled and divided into non-MVD group(20 cases)and MVD group(21 cases);29 MVD patients were randomly divided into basic treatment group(14 cases)and STDP group(15 cases)with basic treatment or additional STDP treatment for 3 months;and the patient's complaints,blood biochemical indicators,expression levels of plasma inflammatory factors and adipokines were analyzed.A myocardial ischemia-reperfusion model was established in male C57BL/6 mice aged 12-14 weeks.Mice were divided into sham operation group,ischemia-reperfusion(IR)group(normal saline gavage),and IR+STDP group(STDP gavage),with 5 mice in each group.The levels of plasma inflammatory factors were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,the microvascular occlusion of the heart tissue was measured by thioflavin-S staining,and the differential expression proteins between the IR group and IR+STDP group were explored by proteomics analysis and verified by Western blotting.Results Compared with the non-MVD group,the MVD group showed a significant increase in plasma leptin level([9.89±2.42]μg/L vs[4.76±1.02]μg/L,P＜0.01),a significant decrease in adiponectin level([5.02±1.3]pg/mL vs[7.19±1.76]pg/mL,P＜0.05),and a significant increase in resistin level([9.20±2.03]μg/L vs[5.70±1.32]μg/L,P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between leptin levels and MVD(r=0.82 and P＜0.01).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under curve value of plasma leptin was 0.855(sensitivity 0.714,specificity 0.867,and optimal cutoff value＞9.395 μg/L).After 3 months of treatment,compared with the basic treatment group,the improvement rates of symptoms of chest distress and chest pain in the STDP group were significantly higher(73.3％[11/15]vs 21.4％[3/14]),and the levels of plasma leptin,interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were significantly lower([11.36±0.54]μg/L vs[12.12±0.85]μg/L,[3.96±1.76]pg/mL vs[8.65±1.29]pg/mL,[24.82±3.07]ng/mL vs[32.45±3.32]ng/mL,all P＜0.05).In animal studies,compared with the IR group,the mice in the IR+STDP group showed a 45％reduction in no-reflow area(P＜0.01)and a 23％reduction in low-reflow and no-reflow areas(P＜0.05)after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion;the expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly decreased([378.25±19.66]pg/mL vs[457.32±32.01]pg/mL,[289.71±47.62]pg/mL vs[371.28±41.05]pg/mL,both P＜0.05).Proteomic analysis showed that the expression levels of von Willebrand factor(vWF)and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)in the cardiac tissue of mice in the IR+STDP group were significantly lower than those in the IR group.Western blotting results also showed that the expression levels of vWF and ICAM-1 in the IR+STDP group were significantly lower than those in the IR group(both P＜0.01).Conclusion MVD patients have abnormal adipokine metabolism and high plasma leptin.STDP can improve clinical symptoms of MVD patients,reduce the plasma leptin level and inflammatory indicators,and the mechanism may be related to its antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory effects.

Objective:To examine the effects of Zishenwan Prescription on bile acid metabolism in mice with diabetic encephalopathy; To explore its mechanism of improvement of diabetic encephalopathy.Methods:Male C57BL/6J mice were used to replicate the mouse model of type 2 diabetes mellitus by using high-fat chow and a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (120 mg/kg). The mice were screened for diabetic encephalopathy by using the Morris water maze test after 8 weeks of continuous stimulation with hyperglycemia, and were divided into model group and Zishenwan Prescription group according to random number table method, with 12 mice in each group. The mice in the Zishenwan Prescription group were treated with the crude extract of Zishenwan Prescription (9.36 g/kg) by gavage, and the normal group and the model group were treated with the same volume of distilled water once a day for 8 weeks. At the end of the treatment, Morris water maze test was used to investigate the cognitive function of diabetic encephalopathy mice; cresyl violet staining was used to detect the number of granule neurons in the hippocampus; serum and feces were collected to detect the content of bile acids by liquid-liquid coupling; hepatic bile acid synthase CYP7a1 and CYP27a1, farnesol X receptor (FXR), fibroblast growth factor 15 (FGF15), fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4), and ileocecal apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter protein (ABST) mRNA levels were detected by using fluorescence quantitative PCR assay.Results:Compared with the model group, mice in the Zishenwan Prescription group had shorter evasion latency time ( P<0.05 or P<0.01), decreased time to first reach the platform ( P<0.01), increased number of times to traverse the platform ( P<0.01), and reduced neuronal cell damage in hippocampal area; mice in the Zishenwan Prescription group showed decreased serum and fecal total bile acid content ( P<0.05 or P<0.01); the liver CYP7a1 and CYP27a1 mRNA expressions increased ( P<0.01), and FXR and FGF15 mRNA expressions decreased ( P<0.01); ileal ABST mRNA expression decreased ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Zishenwan Prescription may regulate bile acid metabolism, inhibit FRX-FGF15/FGFR4 signaling and ABST expression to promote new bile acid synthesis and conjugated bile acid reabsorption, and thus improve cognitive function in diabetic encephalopathy mice.

Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) may develop neurological complications such as Alzheimer′s disease, stroke and epilepsy, which severely affect their quality of life. Currently, neurological complications after TBI are poorly understood and there are no comprehensive treatments or definitive interventions for them. Complex pathophysiological changes in the brain, systemic immunological responses, and gastrointestinal dysfunction after TBI all severely affect the biodiversity of the intestinal microbiota and related metabolites, which leads to intestinal dysbiosis and metabolic disorders and exert continued effects on the nervous system. Intestinal microbial probiotic flora that colonize in living organisms are a category of active microorganisms beneficial to the host and supplementation of intestinal probiotics can have a modulatory effect on the nervous system directly or indirectly. The targeted therapeutic effects of intestinal microbial probiotic flora on neurological complications after TBI and the intrinsic mechanism of the effects have not been comprehensively summarized currently. For this purpose, the authors reviewed the research progress on the effects of regulating intestinal microbial probiotic flora on post-TBI neurological complications so as to provide a reference for the clinical prevention and treatment of post-TBI neurological complications.

Objective:Inhaler satisfaction is an important factor affecting inhaler adherence and the efficacy of inhalers in chronic airway diseases.Using a scientific and effective method to assess patients'satisfaction with inhalers is of great significance for improving clinical outcomes.The Feeling of Satisfaction with Inhaler-10(FSI-10)is specifically designed to assess patients'inhaler satisfaction in chronic airway diseases,but the application research on this scale is not available in China.This study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of FSI-10,describe the current status of inhaler satisfaction and discuss the associated variables in Chinese patients with chronic airway disease. Methods:Based on the English version of FSI-10,items of the Chinese version of FSI-10 were determined after forward-backward translation and cultural adaption.Totally,322 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and asthma were enrolled from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from June to October 2022.We collected associated clinical variables and inhaler satisfaction using the Chinese version of FSI-10.The content validity of the scale was expressed by content validity index(CVI)and the construct validity was analyzed by exploratory factor analysis(EFA).The reliability of the scale was expressed by Cronbach's α coefficient,the split-half reliability and test-retest reliability.A multivariate logistic regression was conducted to examine variables related to inhaler satisfaction. Results:The reliability and validity analysis showed that the CVI was 0.983.One factor was extracted from the Chinese version of FSI-10 and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 73.114%.The Cronbach's α of the scale was 0.913,the Guttman's half-reliability coefficient was 0.905,and the test-retest reliability was 0.727(P<0.001).In addition,the total score of the scale for patients was 38.92±4.26 points and the proportion of high satisfaction(the score of FSI-10≥40)in patients with COPD was significantly lower than that in asthma patients(71.3%vs 87.9%,P<0.01).Older age(age≥70 years)was a risk factor of lower inhaler satisfaction and asthma diagnosis was a protective factor. Conclusion:The Chinese version of FSI-10 has good reliability and validity in patients with COPD and asthma,which may be further promoted and applied in patients with chronic airway disease in China.Doctors should regularly evaluate the inhaler satisfaction of patients with chronic airway diseases,especially for those elder or with severe symptoms and a long course of illness.

Medical Physics is an interdiscipline which is formed by applying the basic principles, methods, and techniques of physics to clinical medical research such as prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases, and it is a compulsory professional basic course for medical students. However, there are many medical students reflect that the content of this course is obscure and difficult to understand. Teaching effect is not ideal. The main reasons are that the teaching method is single and the reference materials are few. Based on the actual situation of the course, Hebei Medical University, China promotes formative evaluation from the content of teaching materials, teaching means, and other aspects. At the same time, by combining with the Internet, the digital construction has been realized, deepening the reform of the Medical Physics curriculum, and remarkable results have been achieved.
