Effect and Mechanism of Action of Pushing Method on Rats with Skeletal Muscle Overuse Injury based on Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway by DUAN Miaomiao, HUANG Bo, RUAN Lei, MU Pangpang, CHEN Yiming, PENG Liang

“…The balance beam test was used to assess the motor function of the rats after skeletal muscle injury at 24 h after the end of modeling and 24 h after the end of the intervention, respectively; hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) method was used to observe the pathological changes of the gastrocnemius muscle; EM-1400 transmission electron microscope was used to observe the ultrastructure of the skeletal muscle fibers; and fluorescence PCR was used to detect the myogenic regulatory factor myogenic differentiation antigen (Myogenic differentiation antigen (MyoD), myogenin (MyoG) and paired box 7 (Pax7) mRNA transcript levels were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR; MyoD, MyoG, Pax7, Wnt3a, Axin2 and β-catenin protein expression levels were detected by Western blot. …”

Effect of the Iridoid-rich Fraction from <italic>Valeriana jatamansi</italic> Jones on Oxidative Stress in Rats with Spinal Cord Injury by Jiaojuan HUANG, Wenchun WANG, Deqi XIONG, Hao LU, Wu XIANG, Xiaohua ZHAO, Ruihan ZHOU, Anren ZHANG

“…The rats were sacrificed on third days after administration, and the contents of oxidative stress indexes superoxide dismutase(SOD)and malondialdehyde(MDA)in serum were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA); the related biochemical kit was used to test glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX)and catalase(CAT)viability of the spinal cord tissue; the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins of Caspase-3, B cell lymphoma(Bcl-2)associated X protein(Bax), and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blot; and the Hematoxylin/eosin(HE)staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the spinal cord tissue at the perilesional area; and Terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling(TUNEL)was used to observe the apoptosis of nerve cells of the spinal cord tissue at the perilesional area.Results:The results of ELISA showed that compared with the sham-operated group, the SOD content in the serum of the model group decreased, and the MDA content increased; compared with the model group, the SOD content in the serum of the treatment group with iridoid-rich fraction from <italic>Valeriana jatamansi</italic> Jones increased significantly(<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.05), and the MDA content decreased significantly(<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.01). …”
