基于网络药理学和分子对接技术的款冬花在清肺排毒汤治疗新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）中的作用分析

目的采用网络药理学和分子对接法分析款冬花在清肺排毒汤治疗新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)中发挥的作用。方法基于课题组前期研究,确定款冬花中的主要成分。采用SwissTargetPrediction和BATMAN-TCM数据库对款冬花主要化学成分的潜在靶点进行整理;在GenCLiP 3和GeneCard数据库搜索COVID-19相关靶点,运用Cytoscape 3.7.1软件绘制款冬花成分-靶点-疾病网络图;使用String数据库构建靶点PPI网络;通过DAVID数据库进行GO富集分析和KEGG通路富集分析;将各成分与新型冠状病毒(SARS-CoV-2)3CL水解酶和血管紧张素转化酶II(ACE2)进行分子对接。结果款冬花治疗COVID-19的化合物-靶点-疾病网络包含化合物14个、靶点104个、疾病4个。GO功能富集分析得到GO条目444个(P0.05),其中包括生物过程(BP)条目325个、细胞组成(CC)条目44个、分子功能(MF)条目75个。KEGG通路富集筛选得到94条信号通路(P0.05)。分子对接结果显示异绿原酸B(3,4-dicaffeoylquinicacid)和异绿原酸C(4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid)与蛋白的亲和力要优于瑞德西韦。结论款冬花中主要化合物能通过与SARS-Co V-2 3CL水解酶和ACE2结合,作用于多靶点调节多条信号通路,从而发挥对COVID-19的防治作用。     

Additional bedtime H2‐receptor antagonist for the control of nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough: A Cochrane systematic review

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness and safety of additional bedtime H₂‐receptor antagonists (H₂RAs) in suppressing nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough (NAB) via a systematic review. METHODS: Eligible trials were identified by searching the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (Cochrane Library Issue 2, 2004), MEDLINE (January 1966–June 2004), EMBASE (January 1980–June 2004) and CINAHL (January 1982–June 2004). Additional hand‐searching was conducted on the proceedings of correlated conferences, eight important Chinese journals and references of all included trials. All randomized controlled trials evaluating H₂RAs for the control of NAB were eligible for inclusion. The systematic review was conducted using methods recommended by The Cochrane Collaboration. RESULTS: Only two randomized crossover studies, comprising 32 participants, met the inclusion criteria. Because the design, dosage and duration of the treatments were different between the studies, it was not possible to conduct meta‐analysis. There were no consistent conclusions found between the two included studies in evaluating H₂RAs for the control of NAB. CONCLUSIONS: No implications for practice at this stage can be concluded. Appropriately designed large‐scale randomized controlled trials with long‐term follow up are needed to determine the effects of additional bedtime H₂RAs in suppressing NAB.     

Photodynamic therapy in Argentina

The use of endogenous Protoporphyrin IX generated through the heme biosynthetic pathway after administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has led to many applications in photodynamic therapy (PDT). In Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Centro de Investigaciones sobre Porfirinas y Porfirias (CIPYP), reported for the first time, in 1975, porphyrin synthesis from ALA in highly dividing plant tissues. Increased porphyrin synthesis in tumours as well as cell photosensitisation was reported soon after. Our group is also interested in studying the use of new synthetic lipophilic derivatives of ALA as well as ALA delivery in liposomes. We have elucidated the mechanism of ALA transport in mammalian and yeast cells. The interactions between ALA-PDT and nitric oxide were investigated in three murine adenocarcinoma cell lines. In the National University of Río Cuarto, Córdoba, a group is devoted to the synthesis of new porphyrin-derived photosensitisers to study their effects on photoinactivation of bacterial and mammalian cells death by PDT. At the Centre of Electron Microscopy of the Cordoba National University, a prototype of a 630 nm noncoherent light source was designed and constructed. Cost of the light source and scarce knowledge of the benefits of PDT by physicians limit the spread of the treatment throughout the country.     

吗啡依赖和戒断对大鼠杏仁核神经甾体和氨基酸递质水平的影响

目的研究吗啡依赖和戒断时大鼠杏仁核中神经甾体和氨基酸递质水平的变化。方法连续7天给予大鼠盐酸吗啡建立吗啡依赖模型。使用纳洛酮(2mg/kg)催促戒断,观察戒断症状并进行评分。将大鼠断头处死后,剥离大脑并分离出杏仁核,用液-液萃取和固相萃取法提取游离型和结合型神经甾体。神经甾体(包括脱氢表雄酮、孕烯醇酮、别孕烯醇酮、脱氢表雄酮硫酸酯和孕烯醇酮硫酸酯)的含量使用高效液相色谱-质谱法测定。甘氨酸、谷氨酸和γ-氨基丁酸的含量采用柱前OPA衍生-电化学检测-高效液相色谱法测定。结果与盐水对照组相比,吗啡依赖大鼠杏仁核中的脱氢表雄酮水平降低33 %(P<0·01)。与戒断对照组比较,吗啡戒断大鼠杏仁核中的孕烯醇酮和别孕烯醇酮水平分别升高45 %和42 %(P<0·05) ,γ-氨基丁酸水平降低18 %(P<0·01)。与吗啡依赖组比较,吗啡戒断组大鼠杏仁核中的孕烯醇酮和孕烯醇酮硫酸酯水平分别升高60 %和40 %(P<0·05) ,甘氨酸水平降低14 %(P<0·05)。结论吗啡依赖大鼠杏仁核中的脱氢表雄酮可能参与吗啡依赖的形成而与吗啡戒断症状的表达无关。其他神经甾体(包括孕烯醇酮、别孕烯醇酮和孕烯醇酮硫酸酯)则可能参与吗啡的戒断而与依赖的形成无关。纳洛酮催促戒断时,大鼠杏仁核中抑制性氨基酸递质的合成和释放受到抑制。表明大鼠杏仁核中的各种神经甾体和氨基酸递质在吗啡依赖和戒断时发生了不同的变化。
