文摘The lung is one of the primary target organs of hydrogen sulfide(H2S),as exposure to H2S can cause acute lung injury(ALI)and pulmonary edema.Dexamethasone(Dex)exerts a protective effect on ALI caused by exposure to toxic gases and is commonly used in the clinic;however,the underlying mechanisms remain elusive,and the dose is unclear.Methods:In vivo experiments:divided C57BL6 mice into 6 groups at random,12 in each group.The mice were exposed to H2S for 3 h and 5 or 50 mg/kg Dex pretreated before exposure,sacrificed 12 h later.The morphological changes of HE staining and the ultrastructural changes of lungs under transmission electron microscopy were evaluated.The wet/dry ratio of lung tissue was measured.Bronchial alveolar lavage fluid(BALF)protein content and lung permeability index were detected.The expression of AQP5 protein was measured by immunohistochemistry and Western Blot(WB).In vitro experiments:divided human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 into 4 groups.1μmol/L dexamethasone was added to pre-incubation.The WB analyzed the protein of p-ERK1/2,p-JNK,and p-p38 in MAPK pathway after 1 h of NaHS exposure;six hours after NaHS exposure,the AQP5 protein was measured by WB.Results:Dex treatment could significantly attenuate the H2S-induced destruction to the alveolar wall,increase the wet-to-dry weight ratio and decrease pulmonary permeability index,with high-dose dexamethasone seemingly functioning better.Additionally,our previous studies showed that aquaporin 5(AQP 5),a critical protein that regulates water flux,decreased both in a mouse and cell model following the exposure to H2S.This study indicates that tThe decrease in AQP 5 can be alleviated by Dex treatment.Additionally,the mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK)pathway may be involved in the protective effects of Dex in ALI caused by exposure to H2S since H2Sinduced MAPK activation could be inhibited by Dex.Conclusion:The present results indicate that AQP 5 may be considered a therapeutic target for Dex in H2S or other hazardous gases-induced ALI.

文摘Background:Hohgardi-9 is a well-known traditional Mongolian drug that relieves cough and removes phlegm.Although it is widely used to treat lung diseases clinically,Hohgardi-9’s bioactive constituents and mechanism of action are unknown.In this study,we explored the bioactive compounds in Hohgardi-9 and the mechanism underlying its therapeutic effect against acute lung injury(ALI).Methods:We obtained the main components of Hohgardi-9 and analyzed the targets related to ALI by searching the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and existing literature.Then,we constructed the compound-target network using Cytoscape 3.8.0 software to obtain the bioactive compounds in Hohgardi-9 against ALI.We used a string database to investigate the interaction between the possible protein targets of Hohgardi-9.We also performed Gene Ontology function annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis to predict its anti-ALI mechanism.Further,to verify the therapeutical effects of Hohgardi-9,we used an ALI rat model and analyzed the components of Hohgardi-9 found in the rat plasma using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive mass spectrometry.Results:The network pharmacology and plasma component analysis showed that Hohgardi-9 contained 31 potentially bioactive components,including quercetin,herbacetin,izoteolin,and columbinetin acetate,which affected the NF-κB,TLR,and TNF signaling pathways via key targets,such as RELA(p65)and TLR4.The in vivo experiments using hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed that Hohgardi-9 significantly improved lung tissue injury and pulmonary edema in ALI rats.Simultaneously,Hohgardi-9 significantly reduced the expression levels of genes encoding inflammatory factors,such as TRL4,TNF-α,IL-1β,and ICAM1,in the lungs of ALI rats.Conclusion:Hohgardi-9 alleviated ALI by inhibiting inflammation-related gene expression through its active ingredients,such as quercetin and herbacetin.

文摘BACKGROUND Polygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma et Radix(PCRR),a well-known traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),inhibits inflammation associated with various human diseases.However,the anti-inflammatory effects of PCRR in acute lung injury(ALI)and the underlying mechanisms of action remain unclear.AIM To determine the ingredients related to PCRR for treatment of ALI using multiple databases to obtain potential targets for fishing.METHODS Recognized and candidate active compounds for PCRR were obtained from Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology,STITCH,and PubMed databases.Target ALI databases were built using the Therapeutic Target,DrugBank,DisGeNET,Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man,and Genetic Association databases.Network pharmacology includes network construction,target prediction,topological feature analysis,and enrichment analysis.Bioinformatics resources from the Database for Annotation,Visualization and Integrated Discovery were utilized for gene ontology biological process and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes network pathway enrichment analysis,and molecular docking techniques were adopted to verify the combination of major active ingredients and core targets.RESULTS Thirteen bioactive compounds corresponding to the 433 PCRR targets were identified.In addition,128 genes were closely associated with ALI,60 of which overlapped with PCRR targets and were considered therapeutically relevant.Functional enrichment analysis suggested that PCRR exerted its pharmacological effects in ALI by modulating multiple pathways,including the cell cycle,cell apoptosis,drug metabolism,inflammation,and immune modulation.Molecular docking results revealed a strong associative relationship between the active ingredient and core target.CONCLUSION PCRR alleviates ALI symptoms via molecular mechanisms predicted by network pharmacology.This study proposes a strategy to elucidate the mechanisms of TCM at the network pharmacology level.

文摘Acute lung injury(ALI)and acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)are common life-threatening lung diseases associated with acute and severe inflammation.Both have high mortality rates,and despite decades of research on clinical ALI/ARDS,there are no effective therapeutic strategies.Disruption of alveolar-capillary barrier integrity or activation of inflammatory responses leads to lung inflammation and injury.Recently,studies on the role of extracellular vesicles(EVs)in regulating normal and pathophysiologic cell activities,including inflammation and injury responses,have attracted attention.Injured and dysfunctional cells often secrete EVs into serum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid with altered cargoes,which can be used to diagnose and predict the development of ALI/ARDS.EVs secreted by mesenchymal stem cells can also attenuate inflammatory reactions associated with cell dysfunction and injury to preserve or restore cell function,and thereby promote cell proliferation and tissue regeneration.This review focuses on the roles of EVs in the pathogenesis of pulmonary inflammation,particularly ALI/ARDS.

文摘BACKGROUND Acute lung injury(ALI)and its final severe stage,acute respiratory distress syndrome,are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates in patients due to the lack of effective specific treatments.Gut microbiota homeostasis,including that in ALI,is important for human health.Evidence suggests that the gut microbiota improves lung injury through the lung-gut axis.Human umbilical cord mesenchymal cells(HUC-MSCs)have attractive prospects for ALI treatment.This study hypothesized that HUC-MSCs improve ALI via the lung-gut microflora.AIM To explore the effects of HUC-MSCs on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced ALI in mice and the involvement of the lung-gut axis in this process.METHODS C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups(18 rats per group):Sham,sham+HUC-MSCs,LPS,and LPS+HUC-MSCs.ALI was induced in mice by intraperitoneal injections of LPS(10 mg/kg).After 6 h,mice were intervened with 0.5 mL phosphate buffered saline(PBS)containing 1×10^(6) HUC-MSCs by intraperitoneal injections.For the negative control,100 mL 0.9%NaCl and 0.5 mL PBS were used.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)was obtained from anesthetized mice,and their blood,lungs,ileum,and feces were obtained by an aseptic technique following CO_(2) euthanasia.Wright’s staining,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,hematoxylin-eosin staining,Evans blue dye leakage assay,immunohistochemistry,fluorescence in situ hybridization,western blot,16S rDNA sequencing,and non-targeted metabolomics were used to observe the effect of HUC-MSCs on ALI mice,and the involvement of the lung-gut axis in this process was explored.One-way analysis of variance with post-hoc Tukey’s test,independent-sample Student’s t-test,Wilcoxon rank-sum test,and Pearson correlation analysis were used for statistical analyses.RESULTS HUC-MSCs were observed to improve pulmonary edema and lung and ileal injury,and decrease mononuclear cell and neutrophil counts,protein concentrations in BALF and inflammatory cytokine levels in the serum,lung,and ileum of ALI mice.Especially,HUC-MSCs decreased Evans blue concentration and Toll-like receptor 4,myeloid differentiation factor 88,p-nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB)/NF-κB,and p-inhibitorαof NF-κB(p-IκBα)/IκBαexpression levels in the lung,and raised the pulmonary vascular endothelial-cadherin,zonula occludens-1(ZO-1),and occludin levels and ileal ZO-1,claudin-1,and occludin expression levels.HUC-MSCs improved gut and BALF microbial homeostases.The number of pathogenic bacteria decreased in the BALF of ALI mice treated with HUCMSCs.Concurrently,the abundances of Oscillospira and Coprococcus in the feces of HUS-MSC-treated ALI mice were significantly increased.In addition,Lactobacillus,Bacteroides,and unidentified_Rikenellaceae genera appeared in both feces and BALF.Moreover,this study performed metabolomic analysis on the lung tissue and identified five upregulated metabolites and 11 downregulated metabolites in the LPS+MSC group compared to the LPS group,which were related to the purine metabolism and the taste transduction signaling pathways.Therefore,an intrinsic link between lung metabolite levels and BALF flora homeostasis was established.CONCLUSION This study suggests that HUM-MSCs attenuate ALI by redefining the gut and lung microbiota.

文摘Spinal cord injury(SCI)is a devastating and disabling medical condition generally caused by a traumatic event(primary injury).This initial trauma is accompanied by a set of biological mechanisms directed to ameliorate neural damage but also exacerbate initial damage(secondary injury).The alterations that occur in the spinal cord have not only local but also systemic consequences and virtually all organs and tissues of the body incur important changes after SCI,explaining the progression and detrimental consequences related to this condition.Psychoneuroimmunoendocrinology(PNIE)is a growing area of research aiming to integrate and explore the interactions among the different systems that compose the human organism,considering the mind and the body as a whole.The initial traumatic event and the consequent neurological disruption trigger immune,endocrine,and multisystem dysfunction,which in turn affect the patient's psyche and well-being.In the present review,we will explore the most important local and systemic consequences of SCI from a PNIE perspective,defining the changes occurring in each system and how all these mechanisms are interconnected.Finally,potential clinical approaches derived from this knowledge will also be collectively presented with the aim to develop integrative therapies to maximize the clinical management of these patients.

文摘Spinal cord injury-induced motor dysfunction is associated with neuroinflammation.Studies have shown that the triterpenoid lupenone,a natural product found in various plants,has a remarkable anti-inflammatory effect in the context of chronic inflammation.However,the effects of lupenone on acute inflammation induced by spinal cord injury remain unknown.In this study,we established an impact-induced mouse model of spinal cord injury,and then treated the injured mice with lupenone(8 mg/kg,twice a day)by intrape ritoneal injection.We also treated BV2 cells with lipopolysaccharide and adenosine5’-triphosphate to simulate the inflammatory response after spinal cord injury.Our res ults showed that lupenone reduced IKBa activation and p65 nuclear translocation,inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome function by modulating nuclear factor kappa B,and enhanced the conve rsion of proinflammatory M1 mic roglial cells into anti-inflammatory M2 microglial cells.Furthermore,lupenone decreased NLRP3 inflammasome activation,NLRP3-induced mic roglial cell polarization,and microglia pyroptosis by inhibiting the nuclear factor kappa B pathway.These findings suggest that lupenone protects against spinal cord injury by inhibiting inflammasomes.

文摘Spinal cord injury can be traumatic or non-traumatic in origin,with the latter rising in incidence and prevalence with the aging demographics of our society.Moreove r,as the global population ages,individuals with co-existent degenerative spinal pathology comprise a growing number of traumatic spinal cord injury cases,especially involving the cervical spinal cord.This makes recovery and treatment approaches particula rly challenging as age and comorbidities may limit regenerative capacity.For these reasons,it is critical to better understand the complex milieu of spinal cord injury lesion pathobiology and the ensuing inflammatory response.This review discusses microglia-specific purinergic and cytokine signaling pathways,as well as microglial modulation of synaptic stability and plasticity after injury.Further,we evaluate the role of astrocytes in neurotransmission and calcium signaling,as well as their border-forming response to neural lesions.Both the inflammatory and reparative roles of these cells have eluded our complete understanding and remain key therapeutic targets due to their extensive structural and functional roles in the nervous system.Recent advances have shed light on the roles of glia in neurotransmission and reparative injury responses that will change how interventions are directed.Understanding key processes and existing knowledge gaps will allow future research to effectively target these cells and harness their regenerative potential.
文摘BACKGROUND The extensive availability of ultrasound(US)technology has increased its use for point-of-care applications in many health care settings.During anaesthesia and surgery,acute respiratory failure or pulmonary oedema are common lifethreatening events that,if not recognized and treated appropriately,result in a high mortality rate.CASE SUMMARY We report a patient under anaesthesia whose lung US examination showed multiple vertical artefacts(B-lines)in the lung tissue,indicating pulmonary oedema.The respiratory state improved with the resolution of the pulmonary oedema after our treatment.CONCLUSION We believe that US of the lungs may be a useful tool for dynamic respiratory monitoring at the bedside during anaesthesia.

文摘Controlling intracranial pressure,nerve cell regeneration,and microenvironment regulation are the key issues in reducing mortality and disability in acute brain injury.There is currently a lack of effective treatment methods.Hibernation has the characteristics of low temperature,low metabolism,and hibernation rhythm,as well as protective effects on the nervous,cardiovascular,and motor systems.Artificial hibernation technology is a new technology that can effectively treat acute brain injury by altering the body’s metabolism,lowering the body’s core temperature,and allowing the body to enter a state similar to hibernation.This review introduces artificial hibernation technology,including mild hypothermia treatment technology,central nervous system regulation technology,and artificial hibernation-inducer technology.Upon summarizing the relevant research on artificial hibernation technology in acute brain injury,the research results show that artificial hibernation technology has neuroprotective,anti-inflammatory,and oxidative stress-resistance effects,indicating that it has therapeutic significance in acute brain injury.Furthermore,artificial hibernation technology can alleviate the damage of ischemic stroke,traumatic brain injury,cerebral hemorrhage,cerebral infarction,and other diseases,providing new strategies for treating acute brain injury.However,artificial hibernation technology is currently in its infancy and has some complications,such as electrolyte imbalance and coagulation disorders,which limit its use.Further research is needed for its clinical application.
