Lycium barbarum extract promotes M2 polarization and reduces oligomeric amyloid-β-induced inflammatory reactions in microglial cells

Lycium barbarum(LB)is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been demonstrated to exhibit a wide variety of biological functions,such as antioxidation,neuroprotection,and immune modulation.One of the main mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease is that microglia activated by amyloid beta(Aβ)transform from the resting state to an M1 state and release pro-inflammatory cytokines to the surrounding environment.In the present study,immortalized microglial cells were pretreated with L.barbarum extract for 1 hour and then treated with oligomeric Aβfor 23 hours.The results showed that LB extract significantly increased the survival of oligomeric Aβ-induced microglial cells,downregulated the expression of M1 pro-inflammatory markers(inducible nitric oxide synthase,tumor necrosis factorα,interleukin-6,and interleukin-1β),and upregulated the expression of M2 anti-inflammatory markers(arginase-1,chitinase-like protein 3,and interleukin-4).LB extract also inhibited the oligomeric Aβ-induced secretion of tumor necrosis factorα,interleukin-6,and interleukin-1βin microglial cells.The results of in vitro cytological experiments suggest that,in microglial cells,LB extract can inhibit oligomeric Aβ-induced M1 polarization and concomitant inflammatory reactions,and promote M2 polarization.     

N-三甲基壳聚糖对促进阿昔洛韦滴眼液眼部滞留性的体内外考察

目的对不同季铵化程度(DQ)的N-三甲基壳聚糖(TMC)促进阿昔洛韦(ACV)滴眼液眼部滞留性进行考察。方法将浓度为0.5%,DQ分别为20%、40%及60%的TMC(TMC20,TMC40,TMC60)加入ACV滴眼液中;以同浓度壳聚糖(CS)ACV滴眼液为阳性对照,以普通ACV滴眼液为阴性对照,选用家兔为实验动物,采用悬挂泡技术和束缚泡技术进行离体眼球表面接触角及解吸附动力学进行研究,同时在各种ACV滴眼液中分别加入0.05%的荧光素钠为示踪剂,在体研究各种ACV滴眼液在家兔眼部的滞留性。结果与普通ACV滴眼液相比,含CS及TMC的滴眼液在角膜表面的接触角明显降低,解吸时间及在体滞留时间明显延长(P<0.05);与同浓度的CS ACV阳性对照相比,TMC20促进滞留作用较弱,而TMC40作用差异无显著性(P>0.05),而TMC60的作用明显较强(P<0.05)结论 TMC可显著增加ACV的眼部滞留性,且与其DQ呈正相关。

2型糖尿病患者正常范围尿白蛋白与肌酐比值和高血压风险的相关性研究

目的：评估2型糖尿病患者正常范围尿白蛋白与肌酐比值（urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio,UACR）与高血压风险的相关性。方法：本研究纳入1 309例中国台湾李氏联合诊所定期随访的2型糖尿病患者，随访3～12年（平均6年）。根据UACR的四分位数水平将患者分为第1分位组即UACR<5.87 mg/g组（n=320）、第2分位组即5.87 mg/g≤UACR≤9.55 mg/g组（n=341）、第3分位组即9.56 mg/g≤UACR≤16.27 mg/g组（n=321）和第4分位组即16.27mg/g 相似文献   

MSH2基因13号外显子移码突变致Lynch综合征相关子宫内膜癌一例

子宫内膜癌是女性常见的恶性肿瘤之一,绝大部分子宫内膜癌为散发型,只有2%为遗传型,遗传型子宫内膜癌也称为Lynch综合征相关性子宫内膜癌(LS-EC)。本例患者43岁,因子宫下段赘生物活检提示子宫内膜低分化腺癌,行子宫内膜癌根治性手术,因肿瘤位于子宫下段,且病理特征提示子宫内膜样腺癌,因存在多个高危因素故行Lynch综合征筛查。根据2019年Manchester国际共识,妇科肿瘤筛查Lynch综合征的流程明确,首先采用免疫组化法检测丢失的蛋白,发现潜在的突变基因,最终通过高通量测序(NGS)技术确诊为MSH2基因13号外显子E701fs移码突变导致的LS-EC。
