ObjectiveTo investigate the role of protein kinase B （Akt） overexpression in the inhibition of human bladder cancer 5637 cell proliferation by erianin and related mechanisms. MethodThe 5637 cells stably over-expressing Akt were induced using the lentivirus vector. The 5637 cells infected with the empty vector were classified into blank group. Then the Akt group， empty vector combined with erianin （62.5 μg·L^-1） group， and Akt combined with erianin （62.5 μg·L^-1） group were set up. The cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay， and the clone formation of 5637 cells in each group was determined in the clone formation experiment. The cell cycle distribution was detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to assay the protein expression levels of phosphorylated （p）-Akt， Akt， p21. The glycolysis of 5637 cells was determined in glucose uptake and lactate secretion assays. ResultCompared with the blank group， erianin inhibited the proliferation of bladder cancer 5637 cells （P<0.05）. Overexpression of Akt partially reversed the inhibitory effect of erianin on the proliferation of bladder cancer 5637 cells （P<0.05）. Clone formation assay showed that erianin inhibited the clone formation of bladder cancer 5637 cells （P<0.05）， which was partially reversed by the overexpressed Akt （P<0.05）. As revealed by comparison with the blank group， erianin arrested the bladder cancer 5637 cells in G₁ phase （P<0.05）， which was also reversed by the overexpressed Akt （P<0.05）. Western bolt showed that erianin promoted the expression of p21 but suppressed the expression of p-Akt and Akt （P<0.05）. By contrast， the overexpression of Akt down-regulated the elevated p21 protein expression induced by erianin （P<0.05）. Compared with the blank group， erianin inhibited the glucose uptake and lactate secretion of bladder cancer 5637 cells （P<0.05）. Overexpression of Akt weakened the inhibitory effect of erianin against the glycolysis of 5637 cells （P<0.05）. ConclusionErianin is able to inhibit the proliferation of bladder cancer 5637 cells， promote the expression of p21， and inhibit the expression of p-Akt. Overexpressed Akt reduces the inhibitory effect of erianin on the proliferation of bladder cancer 5637 cells， suggesting that Akt plays an important role in the inhibition of 5637 cell proliferation by erianin， which has provided a new target for the application of erianin in the treatment of bladder cancer.

Galli Gigerii Endothelium Corneum(GGEC) is commonly used for the clinical treatment of indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea, and infantile malnutrition with accumulation. In recent decades, omnivorous domestic chickens, the original source of GGEC, has been replaced by broilers, which may lead to significant changes in the quality of the yielding GGEC. Through subjective and objective sensory evaluation, biological evaluation, and chemical analysis, this study compared the odor and quality between GGEC derived from domestic chickens and that from broilers. The odor intensity between them was compared by odor profile analysis and it was found that the fishy odor of GGEC derived from domestic chickens was significantly weaker than that of GGEC from broilers. Headspace-solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry(HS-SPME/GC-QQQ-MS/MS) suggested that the overall odor-causing chemicals were consistent with the fishy odor-causing chemicals. According to the odor activity va-lue and the orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) result, dimethyl trisulfide, 2-methoxy-3-isobutylpyrazine, and 2-methylisoborneol were responsible for the fishy odor(OAV≥1) and the content of fishy odor-causing chemicals in GGEC derived from broilers was 1.12-2.13 folds that in GGEC from domestic chickens. The average pepsin potency in GGEC derived from broilers was 15.679 U·mg~(-1), and the corresponding figure for the medicinal from domestic chickens was 26.529 U·mg~(-1). The results of pre-column derivatization reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC) assay showed that the content of total amino acids and digestion-promoting amino acids in domestic chickens-derived GGEC was 1.12 times and 1.15 times that in GGEC from broilers, and the bitter amino acid content was 1.21 times folds that of the latter. In conclusion, GGEC derived from domestic chickens had weaker fishy odor, stronger enzyme activity, higher content of digestion-promoting amino acids, and stronger bitter taste than GGEC from broilers. This study lays a scientific basis for studying the quality variation of GGEC and provides a method for identifying high-quality GGEC. Therefore, it is of great significance for the development and cultivation of GGEC as both food and medicine and breeding of corresponding varieties.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the regulatory effect of miRNA-29a-3p (miR-29a-3p ) on hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF), and its influences on the proliferation and apoptosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell line E6-1. METHODS: Thirty-five patients with ALL treated in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2019 were selected as research objects, and 35 adults who underwent physical examination in the same period were selected as healthy control group. The miR-29a-3p overexpression vector, miR-29a-3p inhibitory expression vector, and miR-29a-3p and HDGF co-overexpression vector were transfected into E6-1 cells. The expression levels of miR-29a-3p and HDGF mRNA were detected by RT-qPCR. The expression of protein was detected by Western blot. The targeting relationship between miR-29a-3p and HDGF was detected by dual luciferase reporter assay. The cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 method, while apoptosis detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS: Compared with healthy control group, HDGF was highly expressed in serum of patients with ALL and leukemia cells HuT 78, E6-1, CCRF-CEM, while miR-29a-3p was low expressed (P<0.05). After overexpression of miR-29a-3p , the expression levels of CyclinD1 and Bcl-2 in leukemia cells E6-1 were significantly reduced, while the expression levels of p21 and Bax were significantly increased (P<0.05). The activity of E6-1 cells was also significantly reduced, while the apoptosis rate of E6-1 cells was significantly increased (P<0.05). miR-29a-3p could target and regulate the expression of HDGF, while overexpression of HDGF reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-29a-3p overexpression on the proliferation and promotion effect on the apoptosis of leukemia cells E6-1. CONCLUSION Overexpression of miR-29a-3p can inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of ALL cells E6-1, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of HDGF expression.

Galli Gigerii Endothelium Corneum (GGEC) represents digestion-promoting medicines with measurable effects and extensive clinical application. However, its effective components are not clear. The quality control index in the current edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia is rather elementary and does not reflect its clinical efficacy. In this study, a bioassay method based on pepsin activity was proposed as a novel quality control method. With pepsin activity as the evaluation index, the extraction of GGEC was optimized and a method for the determination of biological potency was established by using the qualitative reaction parallel line method. The biological potency and consistency of 20 batches of GGEC were investigated. To provide scientific evidence in support of this bioassay method, two validation experiments were designed. One was to study the viscosity-reducing activity of a nutritional semi-solid paste after adding GGEC samples with differing potency. The other was to correlate the gastric residual rate in mice and pepsin activity with the alcohol soluble extract content. The results showed that the optimal preparation method was to dilute crude powder of GGEC with 50 volumes of water and subject to ultrasonic extraction at 300 W and 40 kHz for 0.5 h. The shape of the dose-response curve was similar to that of the positive control drug multienzyme tablets and the precision, intermediate precision and repeatability met the methodology requirements. The results showed that the potency of 20 batches of samples ranged from 13.49 to 34.69 U·mg^-1, with an average value of 22.21 U·mg^-1. The validation experiment demonstrated that the effect of reducing the viscosity of the nutrient paste became more significant as GGEC sample potency increased. The correlation coefficient R of gastric residual rate with pepsin potency and alcohol soluble extract content was 0.867 and 0.518, respectively, which indicated that the pepsin potency was highly correlated with in vivo activity. This study shows that a bioassay method based on pepsin activity is reliable and reproducible for GGEC and could provide reference method for the quality evaluation of other digestant herbs.

In order to reveal the distribution and population characteristics of endophytic fungi from Zanthoxylum nitidum and the antibacterial potential,this study performed molecular identification and analyzed the genetic diversity and antibacterial activity of endophytic fungi from Z. nitidum in Guangxi. Through culture and molecular identification,35 strains,belonging to 15 genera,12 families,10 orders,4 classes,and 2 phyla,were isolated from various tissues of Z. nitidum,of which Colletotrichum and Fusarium were the dominant genera,respectively accounting for 20% of total strains. The diversity of endophytic fungi was significantly different among roots,stems,and leaves,as manifested by the significantly higher Shannon index( H') in stems( 1. 678) than in roots( 0. 882 1) and leaves( 0. 515 4). The antimicrobial activity analysis showed that 14. 28% of endophytic fungi inhibited at least one indicator pathogen. Among them,Fusarium sp. ZN-34 and Fusarium sp. ZN-26 separately demonstrated the strongest inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In general,Fusarium sp. ZN-26 and Phialemoniopsis plurioloculosa ZN-35 were advantageous in suppressing the two bacteria owing to the broad spectrum and strong efficacy. In summary,Z. nitidum in Guangxi boasts rich endophytic fungi with the majority showing strong antibacterial activity,which can be used as candidates for the extraction and separation of basic antibacterial substances and the development of natural antibacterial agents.

Objective To explore the differences in clinical symptoms and laboratory examination indexes between patients with HIV/AIDS infection complicated with tuberculosis (TB) and those with HIV/AIDS alone, so as to provide a reference for early identification and diagnosis of HIV/AIDS infection with TB. Methods A total of 206 patients with HIV/AIDS infection and TB who were admitted to Suining Central Hospital from January 2015 to April 2019 were selected as the study group. 86 patients with pure HIV/AIDS were selected as the disease control group. Data of clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as follow-up of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical symptoms, laboratory examination indexes and clinical treatment outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence rates of fever, emaciation, electrolyte imbalance, hypoproteinemia, cough and chest pain in the study group were significantly higher than those in the disease control group (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in other symptoms between the two groups (P>0.05). The positive rates of sputum smear acid fast stain, sputum mycobacterium tuberculosis culture and PPD test in the study group were significantly higher than those in the disease control group, while the CD3⁺ count, CD4⁺ count and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ were obviously lower than the disease control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in CD8+ between the two groups (P>0.05). The ROC curve suggested that the areas under the curve of CD3⁺, CD4⁺, CD4⁺/ CD8⁺ and the three combined indicators to evaluate HIV/AIDS infection combined with TB were 0.799, 0.841, 0.913, and 0.935, respectively. The hospitalization time in the study group was significantly longer than that in the disease control group. The proportion of discharged patients (improved) in the study group was significantly lower than that in the disease control group, while the proportion of discharged patients (not improved) was significantly higher than that in the disease control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Although the clinical symptoms of patients with HIV/AIDS infection combined with TB are similar to those of patients with HIV/AIDS alone, the main symptoms of the former are fever, emaciation and electrolyte imbalance. The detection of laboratory immune function indexes is of positive significance for improvement of the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy of HIV/AIDS infection with TB.
