Abstract:
Lateral flow immunochromatography assay is a new instantaneous detection technology that employs a chromatographic membrane and labeling materials for detection. This detection technology is convenient, fast, and inexpensive, and is therefore widely used in a number of different fields, such as biomedicine, disease detection, food safety, environmental protection, and so on. Traditional lateral flow immunochromatography assay relied on visual observation and provided only qualitative or semi-quantitative results. By utilizing various types of markers and sensitive detection devices, lateral flow immunochromatography assay enables quantitative and multi-component detection of the analytes. The research progress on the lateral flow immunoassay detection system and its current applications in the context of recognition elements, labeling materials, and detection instruments were reviewed in this paper.

Abstract:
As a new class of acid inhibitors, potassium-competitive acid blocker(P-CAB) inhibits the conformational transition of H+, K+-ATPase with subsequent suppression of H+, K+ exchanging by binding reversibly near the K+ binding site of H+, K+-ATPase, which results in the inhibition of gastric acid secretion in a K+-competitive manner. The unique structure and novel mechanism of P-CAB contribute to the pharmaceutical characteristics superior to other PPIs, making it a new alternative for acid-related diseases(ARDs). Progress on pharmaceutical characteristics of P-CAB were reviewed in this paper.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the effect of Bajitianwan(BJTW)formula on bone formation of Aβ-injured osteoblasts and its mechanism.   Methods  Osteoblasts isolated from neonatal 24-hour Wistar rats were used for the study, and osteoblasts were subjected to damage with Aβ1-42 oligomers, and pharmacological intervention was performed with the aqueous extract of BJTW formula. The MTT assay, alkaline phosphatase(ALP)activity assay, catalase(CAT)activity assay, superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity assay, glutathione(GSH)activity assay and malondialdehyde(MDA)activity assay were carried out respectively. The expression levels of bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP2), osteogenic specific transcription factor(RUNX-2)and osteoprotective protein(OPG)were detected by Western blotting. After confirming the effect of BJTW formula on Aβ-injured osteoblasts, the network pharmacology method was used to predict the potential pathways.   Results  The BJTW formula significantly promoted the proliferation of Aβ-injured osteoblasts, increased ALP, SOD and GSH activity, inhibited MDA activity, and promoted the expression of bone formation-related proteins BMP2, RUNX-2 and OPG. Network pharmacological analysis showed that the effect of ameliorating of Aβ-injured osteoblasts by BJTW formula was mainly mediated by AGE-RAGE, PI3K-Akt, MAPK and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction signaling pathways.   Conclusion  In this study, the effect of BJTW formula on improving the osteoblasts damaged by Aβ was confirmed for the first time, and its related mechanism was explored based on network pharmacology method. The results lay a strong foundation for the clinical application of traditional formula BJTW against osteoporosis.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the role and potential mechanisms of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on activation and oxidative stress of hepatic stellate cell (HSC).   Methods  Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-bb, 10 ng/ml) was applied to induce the activation of HSCs, which was then treated with ATRA at a dosage of 5 μmol/L for 48 h. The effects of ATRA on HSC activation were evaluated by detecting changes in cell growth viability and phenotypic marker expression. The effects of ATRA on HSC oxidative stress were evaluated by detecting changes in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA), and the expression of antioxidant genes. The effects of ATRA on HSC autophagic activity were evaluated by detecting changes in autophagy marker expression and autophagic flow.   Results  Compared with the PDGF-bb group, the cell viability was significantly reduced in ATRA-treated HSCs (P<0.01), as well as the expression of α-SMA and Collagen I. The intracellular levels of ROS and MDA were significantly reduced in ATRA-treated HSCs (P<0.01), whereas the GSH level was significantly increased (P<0.01). The expression levels of antioxidant genes (NRF2, HO-1, and ATF4), were significantly higher in ATRA-treated HSCs than those in the normal ones under PDGF-bb condition (P<0.01). Meanwhile, the expression of autophagy markers Beclin 1 and LC3 Ⅱ/I, and signal of autophagy flow in ATRA-treated HSCs were found to be significantly reduced (P<0.01).   Conclusion  ATRA significantly inhibited PDGF-bb-induced HSC activation and reduced the level of oxidative stress and autophagic activity of HSCs, which had potential applications in the prevention and treatment of liver fibrosis.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the clinical efficacy of dulaglutide combined with metformin in the treatment of obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).   Methods  A total of 200 obese patients with T2DM who were treated in Shanghai Jiading District Anting Hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were randomly divided into liraglutide group(n=100)and dulaglutide group(n= 100). The liraglutide group was treated with liraglutide combined with metformin, and the dulaglutide group was treated with dulaglutide combined with metformin. Both groups were treated for 3 months. The body metabolic indexes [fasting blood glucose(FBG), 2 h postprandial blood glucose(2 h PBG), hemoglobin(HbA1 c), total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG)], body fat composition [body fat rate, body mass index, subcutaneous fat rate of limbs, visceral fat index] and serum adipokines(adiponectin, neuropeptide Q(NPQ), asprosin, irisin)levels were compared before treatment and 3 months after treatment. The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were observed.   Results  After 3 months of treatment, FBG, 2 h PBG, HbAlc, TC, TG, body fat rate, body mass index, subcutaneous fat rate of limbs, visceral fat index and asprosin in the two groups were lower than those before treatment, and those in the dulaglutide group were lower than those in the liraglutide group(P<0.05). After 3 months of treatment, the levels of serum adiponectin, NPQ and irisin in the two groups were higher than those before treatment, and the increase in the dulaglutide group was greater than that in the liraglutide group(P<0.05). The effective rate of dulaglutide group(98.00%)was higher than that of liraglutide group(91.00 %)(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(11.00%, 14.00%)(P>0.05).   Conclusion  Dulaglutide combined with metformin could improve the metabolic status of obese T2 DM patients, regulate body fat composition and serum adipokines, with significant clinical efficacy and safety.
