Objective:To study the effects of Shengui Jiajian Pills on myocardial fibrosis and the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smads signaling pathway in elderly rats with hypothyroidism; To preliminarily explore the mechanism of Shengui Jiajian Pills in treating hypothyroid heart disease through the TGF-β1/Smads pathway.Methods:Totally 60 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, sodium levothyroxine group, and Shengui Jiajian Pills low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups, with 10 rats in each group. A model of elderly hypothyroid heart injury in rats was prepared by freely drinking 0.1% propylthiouracil (PTU) for 10 weeks. Each group of rats was gavaged with the corresponding drug once a day for 6 weeks. After the last gastric lavage, an electrocardiogram was performed, hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) was used to observe pathological changes in the heart tissue; bitter acid-toluidine blue staining was used to detect fibrosis of the heart tissue; TUNEL staining was used to observe myocardial cell apoptosis; Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) in the serum, as well as brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), creatine kinase isoenzymes MB (CK-MB), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH); Western blot was used to detect the relative expressions of TGF-β1, p-Smad2, p-Smad3, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), TIMP1, Bax, and Caspase-3 in the heart tissue; and immunofluorescence was used to detect the positive expressions of TGF-β1, Smad3, α-SMA, and MMP-1 in the heart tissue.Results:Compared with the model group, the inflammatory cell infiltration and cell damage in the heart of rats in each dosage group of Shengui Jiajian Pills were improved, the myocardial fibrosis area ratio was significantly reduced ( P<0.05), and the myocardial cell apoptosis rate significantly decreased ( P<0.05), the levels of TSH, BNP, CLD, and HK-MB in serum significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The levels of FT3 and FT4 increased in the Shengui Jiajian Pills medium- and high-dosage groups ( P<0.05), while the positive expressions of TGF-β1, Smad3, α-SMA, and MMP-1 decreased ( P<0.05). The protein expression of TGF-β1, p-Smad3, MMP-1, Bax, and Caspase-3 decreased ( P<0.05), and the expression of TIMP-1 increased ( P<0.05). The expression of Smad7 increased in the Shengui Jiajian Pills medium-dosage group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Shengui Jiajian Pills may reduce myocardial collagen fiber deposition by modulating the TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway, thereby partially reversing the pathological features of hypothyroidism-induced myocardial injury, with more pronounced effects observed in the medium and high dosage groups.

The incidence was slightly higher in rural areas than that in urban areas(46.5% in urban areas, 53.5% in rural areas). Foreign bodies were inhaled most in March and least in June.From the perspective of season, winter and spring were more than summer and autumn.The foreign body types inhaled were mainly exogenous plant foreign body, accounting for 93.0%, among which peanut(31.7%)and melon seeds(19.2%)were the most common.The duration of foreign body inhalation was up to 347 cases(35.9%)in 1-3 days.There were 501 cases(51.8%)with endoscopic endobronchial inflammation, and 196 cases of children with varying degrees of granulomatous hyperplasia, accounting for 39.1% and 20.3% of the total.The foreign body in the right bronchus accounted for 50.0% and the left bronchus for 43.7%.There were 793 cases confirmed by imaging, with a positive rate of 81.9%, and 90.9% confirmed by CT.Conclusion:About 88.8% of tracheobronchial foreign bodies occurred in 1 to 3 years of age.The occurrence of foreign bodies had obvious gender, urban-rural and seasonal distribution characteristics, and more cases were male, in rural and winter as well as spring.

Objective:To analyze the results of polysomnography(PSG) in 523 children, and explore the sleep monitoring results and related influencing factors of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods:The PSG monitoring results of children with OSAHS and non-OSAHS were analyzed for children aging from 0 to 16 years old, who were monitored at Sleep Medicine Center of Gansu Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2014 to December 2019.Results:A total of 523 children underwent PSG monitoring during the past 5 years.The male to female ratio was 1∶0.47, of which 66.9%(350/523)were children with OSAHS.The average proportion of rapid eye movement sleep was 1.95%(7.7/394). The height of non-OSAHS group was significantly higher than that of OSAHS group[(108.72±16.39)cm vs.(104.80±16.60)cm, P=0.016]. The incidence of OSAHS decreased with age( P=0.038). The apnea index, hypopnea index, apnea hypopnea index, obstructive apnea index, microarousal index, oxygen desaturation index, mean apnea time, and longest apnea time in the OSAHS group were higher than those in the non-OSAHS group( P<0.05). And the lowest oxygen saturation and the mean oxygen saturation during sleep were lower than those in the non-OSAHS group( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis on the clinical data of OSAHS children showed that open mouth breathing and snoring at night had significant effects on children′s OSAHS, and the differences were statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusion:PSG is of great significance for the diagnosis of OSAHS.The more severe the degree of OSAHS, the worse severe the night sleep hypoxemia.PSG should be recommended before taking any treatment for children with sleep disorders.

To explore the effects of extract of selenium-enriched Astragalus membranaceus(ESAM)on insulin resistance(IR)in streptozotocin(STZ)diabetic rats. In this study, type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)was established; ESAM and pioglitazone were used to intervene T2DM model rats; the general condition of rats in each group was observed, and body weight and fasting blood glucose(FBG)were recorded before modeling and after modeling. At the end of the fourth week, the blood and liver tissues of each group were collected. The total cholesterol(CHOL), triglyceride(TG), high-density lipoprotein(HDL), low-density lipoprotein(LDL)in blood were detected by biochemical detector; ELISA was used to detected content changes of blood fasting insulin(FINS), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6), C-reactive protein(CRP), interleukin-1β(IL-1β); Western blotting was used for the detection of insulin receptor substrate protein 1(IRS1), phosphorylated IRS1(p-IRS1), nuclear factor κB inhibitor kinase β(IKKβ), phosphorylated IKKβ(p-IKKβ), c -Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK), phosphorylated JNK(p-JNK)protein changes.
