Neuroprotective Effect of S14G-Humanin on SH-SY5Y Cells induced by Oxygen Glucose Deprivation/Reoxygenation SUN Li, ZHANG Xiao-ying, GAO Guang-sheng 2022, 12 (2):  1.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.2095-1396.2022.02.001 Abstract ( 89 )   PDF (4258KB) ( 55 )   Objective：To establish an in vitro oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation （OGD/R） model using SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells to mimic the in vitro ischemia/reperfusion injury in stroke. To evaluate the potential neuroprotective effect of S14G-humanin （HNG） from ischemia/reperfusion in vitro，and further to identify the molecular mechanism underlying the protection，so as to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury with HNG. Methods：SH-SY5Y cells were divided into control group，oxygen-glucose deprivation reperfusion OGD/R model group and inhibitor group. The present study established an in vitro OGD/R model using SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells by three gas incubator. HNG and FLLL32，an inhibitor of JAK2/STAT3 signal，were added to the cells in indicated experiments. CCK8 kit was used to detect the cell viability，and flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis rate. The expression of JAK2，p-STAT3（Y705） and p-STAT3（S727） were analyzed by Western Blot. Results：The results showed that OGD/R resulted in a significant decrease in the survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells （P<0.01） and a significant increase in the apoptosis rate of SH-SY5Y cells （P<0.01）. SH-SY5Y cells incubated 0.1，1，5 or 10 μg·L-1 HNG showed higher cell survival （P<0.01） and significantly decreased apoptosis （P<0.01） compared with the cells without HNG treatment in OGD/R processes，with the most evident effects at 1 μg·L-1 HNG. OGD/R lowered protein levels of JAK2 （P<0.01） and p-STAT3 at Y705 site （P<0.01），compared to control. Adding HNG to the cells increased protein levels of JAK2 （P<0.01） and p-STAT3 （Y705）（ P<0.01） in OGD/R conditions. Moreover，protein levels of JAK2（ P<0.01），p-STAT3 （Y705）（ P<0.01） and p-STAT3（ S727）（ P<0.05） had notable increase at values of 1 and 5 μg·L-1 HNG in OGD/R conditions. Co-treatment with HNG and FLLL32 was unable to restore the cell viability and abolishing the inhibition of apoptosis by HNG（P >0.05）. HNG inhibited OGD/ R-induced reduction of JAK2，p-STAT3（Y705） and p-STAT3（S727） protein expression， whereas the inhibitory effect was not observed with co-treatment with HNG and FLLL32. Conclusion：These data collectively indicate that HNG has neuroprotective effects against OGD/ R by activating JAK2/STAT3 signaling and suggest that HNG may be a promising drug for the treatment of stroke.

Methods：Myocardial cells were divided into five groups，respectively normal group，model group （200 μmol·L-1 H2O2） and SYG groups （150，100，50 μg·mL-1），and after the intervention of Peony licorice decoction for 24 h，H2O2 was treated for 2 h，then MTT method was used to detect cell proliferation ability，determination of superoxide dismutase （SOD），catalase （CAT），lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） and malondialdehyde （MDA） by UV spectrophotometry. RT-PCR was used to evaluate the inflammatory factor tumor necrosis factor-α（ TNF-α），inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS），cyclooxygenase-2 （COX-2），and nuclear factor kappa-B （NF-κB）in myocardial cells. Results：H2O2 induction could significantly reduce the contents of SOD and CAT，and significantly increase the contents of MDA and LDH，while SYG could significantly improve the above phenomena，and SYG could inhibit the expression of TNF-α，iNOS，COX- 2 and NF-κB. Conclusion：SYG can inhibit the oxidative stress and inflammatory response of myocardial cells induced by H2O2，and has a certain protective effect on myocardial ischemia. It is speculated that its anti-inflammatory mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TNF-α to activate NF-κB pathway to inhibit the expression of iNOS and COX-2，but the specific mechanism still needs to be further clarified.

Denosumab in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis ZHANG Mei, WEI Wei 2022, 12 (2):  35.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.2095-1396.2022.02.007 Abstract ( 307 )   PDF (1144KB) ( 61 )   Osteoporosis is a common complication of rheumatoid arthritis （RA）. Denosumab，a human antibody against receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand，can suppress the differentiation and activation of osteoclast，increase bone mineral density （BMD）， and reduce the incidence of fracture. Denosumab can be used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. In the patients with RA，it can efficiently increase bone mineral density，suppress the progression of bone erosion，but it does not affect synovitis and disease activity. The combination of denosumab and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs，can inhibit bone erosion synergistically with good tolerance and no increases in infection rates. We should concern about rare side effects，such as osteonecrosis of the jaw and atypical femoral fracture. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation with denosumab treatment is beneficial to prevent hypocalcemia. We should pay attention to the risk of bone mineral density decline and vertebral fractures after drug discontinuation. Denosumab discontinuation might be considered under the guidance of doctors. Administration of a bisphosphonate after denosumab discontinuation is recommended. Related Articles | Metrics

The disease is widespread worldwide and seriously endangers human health. At present，the pathogenesis of modern medicine for this disease has not been fully understood， clinical treatment of this disease is mostly to enhance the sensitivity of islet β cells or promote insulin secretion to stabilize glucose，including diet exercise therapy，oral hypoglycemic drug therapy，insulin therapy and so on. Traditional medicine believes that type 2 diabetes belongs to the category of Xiaoke，the disease is located in the lungs，stomach and kidneys，and its basic disease mechanism is yin deficiency internal dry heat，and the system of triple Xiao is adopted when dialectics. However，with the rapid development of the times and the changes in the lifestyle of modern people，the existing treatment methods of traditional Chinese and Western medicine have been unable to meet the needs of clinical type 2 diabetes patients in an all-round and multi-level manner，so it is imperative to seek safe and efficient treatment. Whether from the perspective of basic theory，molecular mechanism，animal experiment or clinical research，there are unique advantages in the treatment of type 2 diabetes from the liver and spleen，which have gradually become a hot topic in today’s research. This article reviews the research progress of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of type 2 diabetes from the liver and spleen，so as to provide new treatment ideas for the clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes.
