Spectrum-Toxicity Correlation Study Revealed the Influence of the Nine-Time Steaming and Sun Drying Method on Hepatotoxic Components of Polygoni Multiflori Radix

Objective: Polygoni Multiflori Radix (PM) is a traditional herbal medicine with repeated reports of liver injury events in recent years. We wondered whether the classical processing method, namely, nine-time steaming and sun drying (NSSD), had toxicity-attenuating effects on PM and the relationships between toxicity and times of processing, as well as with the alteration trends of its compounds. Materials and Methods: The chemical fingerprints of different PM extracts were developed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography. The spectrum-toxicity correlation between the chemical fingerprints and hepatocellular toxicity was analyzed with multiple correlation analysis. Results: The results suggested that the hepatotoxicity of NSSD processing products markedly decreased with the repeated steaming and sun drying, which was obviously superior to the product processed by the modern method. Comprehensive analysis revealed that the contents of cis-stilbene glycoside and emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside related to liver injury susceptibility were reduced with the times of NSSD processing, which was consistent with the decreased trend of hepatocellular toxicity. After the five times of NSSD, the contents of them as well as the hepatotoxicity of PM were steady. Moreover, we found that the contents of catechin and physcion declined rapidly after the one time of NSSD and then remained stable until the nine times of NSSD. Based on the fact, they could be utilized to indicate whether PM products were processed by steaming and sun drying. Conclusions: This paper confirmed that the NSSD had a good influence on the toxicity attenuating to PM and found four compounds which could apply for the quality control of PM.     

Influence Factors and Prediction Model of Bond Strength of Tunnel Fireproof Coating under Freeze–Thaw Cycles

The freeze–thaw resistant performance of a tunnel fireproof coating (TFC) has an important impact on bonding property and durability. The influence of redispersible emulsion powder, polypropylene fiber and air-entraining agent on TFCs was studied. Transverse fundamental frequency and ultrasonic sound velocity were used to evaluate the damage degree of TFC, and the mechanism was revealed by SEM and pore structure. The results show that the most beneficial effect on bond strength of TFC is redispersible emulsion powder, followed by air-entraining agent, and then polypropylene fiber. After freeze–thaw cycles, the cumulative pore volume of micropores in the TFC increases obviously, while the porosity of macropores does not change significantly. A prediction model was proposed, which can calculate the bond strength from the damage degree of TFC under freeze–thaw cycles. The achievement can promote the application of TFC in cold regions.     

重复经颅磁刺激在孤独症谱系障碍中的应用进展

孤独症谱系障碍是一种患病率日益增长的神经发育综合征，可出现多种行为障碍。近年来，重复经颅磁刺激在孤独症谱系障碍治疗中取得了一些研究成果，但关于刺激参数选择、安全性及可行性评估方面仍存在一定争议。本文就其关于诱导长时程增强/抑制、调节皮质抑制的治疗机制、低频和高频经颅磁刺激的临床应用及目前涉及的安全性、道德伦理问题等局限性进行综述，从而为今后的研究与临床应用提供一定的参考依据。     

GLP-1类似物在糖尿病肾病患者中的疗效分析

目的观察胰高血糖素样肽-1(glucagon-like peptide-1,GLP-1)类似物对2型糖尿病早期肾病患者的肾脏保护作用。方法2017年11月—2019年12月间选取使用GLP-1类似物并参与随访的2型糖尿病早期肾病患者30例,收集患者治疗6个月前后的体重,体质指数(body mass index,BMI),腰围,臀围,血糖,生化指标等,计算胰岛β细胞功能相关指标,进行对比分析。结果治疗后腰围、2 hPG、HbA1c、HOMA-IR、TC、TG、ALB、MA/Cr、UA较治疗前降低,HOMA-β较治疗前升高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。Pearson相关性分析示:HbA1c与MA/Cr呈负相关性(r=-0.421,P<0.05);HOMA-β、TG、TC、UA与MA/Cr呈正相关性(r=0.777,P<0.05;r=0.757,P<0.05;r=0.470,P<0.05;r=0.443,P<0.05)。HbA1c与ALB呈负相关性(r=-0.433,P<0.05);HOMA-β、TG、TC、UA与ALB呈正相关性(r=0.723,P<0.05;r=0.756,P<0.05;r=0.493,P<0.05;r=0.374,P<0.05)。结论GLP-1类似物对2型糖尿病早期肾病患者有较好的降糖、调脂、改善胰岛功能、保护肾脏的作用,而且降血糖、降血脂、改善胰岛功能可能有益于肾脏保护。

疱疹病毒治疗性疫苗研究进展

疱疹病毒感染极为普遍,可表现为原发性、潜伏性或复发性感染,几乎能在所有的动物中建立潜伏感染,且潜伏感染期间病毒保持休眠状态,宿主不表现出任何临床症状,机体在受到一些应激后,潜伏的病毒被重新激活,使机体引起复发性感染。目前预防性疫苗免疫接种仍是预防疱疹病毒感染和控制其相应疾病流行的有效手段,然而免疫接种后机体免疫系统虽能够控制感染,但却未能防止机体发生复发性感染并不能提供全面的保护。治疗性疫苗能清除潜伏感染或阻止复发性感染,可以有效地控制此类疾病的复发。因此,接种治疗性疫苗是未来防控和净化疱疹病毒的一种可行策略。本文针对在研的疱疹病毒HSV、EBV治疗性疫苗的研究进展进行综述,旨在为其余疱疹病毒治疗性疫苗的研发拓展思路。
