    Abstract Context: Yi-Qi Cong-Ming (YQCM) decoction has been widely used to prevent age-related hearing loss (ARHL), the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the elderly.
    Objective: To explore the mechanism of YQCM decoction in the treatment of ARHL.
    Materials and methods: The chemical constituents of YQCM were screened from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database. Potential targets of YQCM against ARHL were predicted by DrugBank, GeneCards, and OMIM database. Protein-protein network and enrichment analysis were used for exploring possible molecular mechanisms. Molecular docking and an
    Results: The main compounds have good affinities with hub targets, especially AKT1, PTGS2, and CASP3. GO and KEGG analysis showed that the main biological process and key targets were related to negative regulation of the apoptotic process. H
    Conclusions: Our study suggested that YQCM prevents ARHL by modulating the apoptosis process in auditory hair cells. Moreover, this study proved that bioinformatics analysis combined with molecular docking and cell model is a promising method to explore other possible pharmacological interventions of ARHL.

    Abstract Yi-Qi Cong-Ming (YQCM) decoction has been widely used to prevent age-related hearing loss (ARHL), the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the elderly. To explore the mechanism of YQCM decoction in the treatment of ARHL. The chemical constituents of YQCM were screened from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database. Potential targets of YQCM against ARHL were predicted by DrugBank, GeneCards, and OMIM database. Protein-protein network and enrichment analysis were used for exploring possible molecular mechanisms. Molecular docking and an in vitro model of ARHL by exposing auditory cells with 100 μM H₂O₂ for 3 h were applied. Cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨM) were detected by CCK-8 and high-content analysis. γH2AX and cleaved caspase-3 were detected by Western blot. The main compounds have good affinities with hub targets, especially AKT1, PTGS2, and CASP3. GO and KEGG analysis showed that the main biological process and key targets were related to negative regulation of the apoptotic process. H₂O₂ treatment could reduce the cell viability by 68% and impaired ΔΨM, while 90 μg/mL YQCM pre-treatment could restore the cell viability by 97.45% and increase ΔΨM (2-fold higher). YQCM pre-treatment also reduced γH2AX and cleaved caspase-3 protein levels. Our study suggested that YQCM prevents ARHL by modulating the apoptosis process in auditory hair cells. Moreover, this study proved that bioinformatics analysis combined with molecular docking and cell model is a promising method to explore other possible pharmacological interventions of ARHL.

    Abstract Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a typical representative of phthalate esters (PAEs), is used as a plasticizer in various industrial applications and has been reported to be responsible for neurobehavioral changes. Despite mounting evidence showing that nimodipine (Nim) palys a neuropharmacological and psychopharmacological role in neurons, the attenuating effects of Nim on learning and memory impairment induced by DBP exposure remain unknown. Based on bioinformatics analysis we found that the biological processes affected by both DBP and Nim may involve the calcium signaling pathway, the MAPK signaling pathway and the apoptosis pathway. The results of an in vivo study confirmed that DBP affects the levels of Ca

    Abstract We investigated whether Xiao-Xu-Ming decoction reduced mitophagy activation and kept mitochondrial function in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham, ischemia and reperfusion (IR), IR plus XXMD (60 g/kg/day) (XXMD60), IR plus cyclosporin A (10 mg/kg/day) (CsA), and IR plus vehicle (Vehicle). Focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion models were induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Cerebral infarct areas were measured by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining. Cerebral ischemic injury was evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining (HE) and Nissl staining. Ultrastructural features of mitochondria and mitophagy in the penumbra of the ischemic cortex were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Mitophagy was detected by immunofluorescence labeled with LC3B and VDAC1. Autophagy lysosome formation was observed by immunofluorescence labeled with LC3B and Lamp1. The expression of LC3B, Beclin1, and Lamp1 was analyzed by Western blot. The rats subjected to MCAO showed worsened neurological score and cell ischemic damage. These were all significantly reversed by XXMD or CsA. Moreover, XXMD/CsA notably downregulated mitophagy and reduced the increase in LC3, Beclin1, and Lamp1 expression induced by cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. The findings demonstrated that XXMD exerted neuroprotective effect via downregulating LC3, Beclin1, Lamp1, and mitochondrial p62 expression level, thus leading to the inhibition of mitophagy.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the effects of pri ming rocuronium on neuromuscular blockade produced by mivacurium.
    Methods: Ethical approval was granted by the medical ethics committee of our hospital with a reference number of C-2013-018-01. A total of 120 ASA physical status I and II patients undergoing selective otorhinolaryngologic surgery under general anesthesia signed the form of informed consent. And they were randomly divided by a random number table into 4 groups. After a standardized imidazole-propofol-fentanyl induction, they received a saline placebo injection (GroupI) and a pri ming dose of rocuronium 0.06 mg/kg (GroupII) , rocuronium 0.075 mg/kg (Group III) and rocuronium 0.1 mg/kg (Group IV). An intubating dose of mivacurium 0.15 mg/kg was offered 3 minutes later. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol and remifentanyl continuous infusion. Neuromuscular block was monitored with train of four (TOF) stimulation. The onset time, reappearance of T1 (DUR TOFc 1), times of T1 25% and 75% recovery, recovery index and times of TOF25%, 75% and 90% recovery were recorded.
    Results: The onset time of mivacurium was significantly shorter and the times of T1 25% and 75% recovery were significantly longer in groups of II, III and IV than those in groupI. No significant difference existed in recovery index among 4 groups. The onset time of mivacurium became progressively shorter with the growing pri ming dose of rocurium among three experiment groups. And it was not statistically significant.
    Conclusions: Pri ming rocuronium decreases the onset and intubating times of mivacurium without effect on recovery index. No significant difference exists in drug effect among 3 experiment groups.

    Abstract AIM: To evaluate the clinical therapeutic efficacy of the Qi ming granule for macular edema(ME)in diabetic patients after phacoemulsification. METHODS:In this was a prospective clinical comparison study, 57 diabetic patients(76 eyes)who underwent phacoemulsification were recruited and divided into two groups: treatment group(34 eyes)and control group(42 eyes). All the patients in treatment group were given oral administration Qi ming granule(4.5g, tid)and vitamin C(0.1g, tid)for 6mo postoperatively, while vitamin C(0.1g, tid)for the controls. General clinical examinations, including blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin, as well as comprehensive standardized ophthalmic examinations were performed. Optical coherence tomography(OCT)were used to detect macular edema incidence and measure central field retinal thickness. RESULTS: No significant difference was found in the levels of blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin, course of disease, and macular thickness between the two groups during the initial visits. At the 6 th month, 2 eyes(6%)eyes had clinically apparent macular edema in treatment group, while 6(14%)eyes had clinically apparent macular edema in control group( P= 0.285). The central subfield retinal thickness values were significantly lower in the treatment group(211.76±41.21μm)than those in control group(278.36±48.94μm)( P <0.01). CONCLUSION:Qi ming granule can significantly reduce the incidences of macular edema and suppresses increasing retinal thickening after phacoemulsification in patients with diabetes mellitus.

    Abstract Nanjing Ming city wall, one of the important historic heritages in China, has greatly suffered weathering. Microbes play an important role in the weathering of historic buildings. However, little is known about the microbial community inhabiting naturally weathered brick minerals and their roles in the mineral weathering. To examine the associations between microorganisms and brick weathering process, we compare the phylogenetic diversity, abundance, community structure, and specific functional groups of bacteria existing in weathered bricks by using a coupled approach involving cultivation-independent analysis of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) as well as cultivation-based analysis of Si-releasing bacteria. DGGE and sequence analyses show that the bacterial communities were different along a weathering gradient and the abundance of bacterial communities positively and significantly correlates with the extent of brick weathering. Laboratory brick mineral dissolution experiments indicate that bacteria isolated from the surfaces of weathered brick were very effective in enhancing brick dissolution. Phylogenetic analyses show that the weathered bricks were inhabited by specific functional groups of bacteria (Bacillus, Massillia, Brevibacillus, Glacialice, Acinetobacter, Brachysporum, and Achromobacter) that contribute to the brick weathering.
