Effect and Mechanism of Massage Manipulation on Rats with Skeletal Muscle Overuse Injury Based on Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway by DUAN Miaomiao, HUANG Bo, RUAN Lei, MU Panpan, CHEN Yiming, PENG Liang

“…Compared with the model group, the gastrocnemius muscle cells in the intervention group were slightly edematous; the myofibril bundles showed clear structure; some myofibril bundles were broken, and the Z-line structure was clear and arranged neatly. (4) Transcriptional levels of MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 in gastrocnemius muscle tissue: compared with the blank group, the transcriptional levels of MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 in the model group and the intervention group were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, the transcriptional levels of MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 in the intervention group were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (5) Protein expression levels of MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 in gastrocnemius muscle tissue: compared with the blank group, protein expression levels of MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 in the model group and the intervention group were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, protein expression levels of MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 in the intervention group were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (6) Protein expression levels of Wnt3a, Axin2 and β-catenin in gastrocnemius muscle tissues: compared with the blank group, protein expression levels of Wnt3a, Axin2 and β-catenin in the model group and the intervention group were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, protein expression levels of Wnt3a, Axin2 and β-catenin in the intervention group were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionMassage manipulation can improve the gastrocnemius muscle injury and motor function in rats with skeletal muscle overuse injury, and its mechanism may be related to the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.…”

Effect of Xingbi Gel Nasal Drops on Rats with Allergic Rhinitis Based on the Nasal Mucosa-Hippocampus Neuroimmune Mechanism by FAN Xueqi, QIU Caixia, YAN Shuiping, ZHUANG Xiangli, AI Si, GUO Lihua, ZHENG Jian

“…After the model was successfully established, the normal group and model group were both given normal saline nasal drops (50 μL once), the traditional Chinese medicine group was given Xingbi gel nasal drops (50 μL once), and the western medicine group was given budesonide nasal spray (20 μL once), twice a day, and the interventions were continued for 12 days. The AR rat behavioral scoring criteria was used to evaluate rhinitis behavior of rats; Morris water maze test was used to evaluate learning and memory function of rats; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1); hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe pathological changes of nasal mucosa and eosinophil (EOS) count; immunohistochemistry method was used to detect expression levels of non-receptor tyrosine kinases Fyn, substance P (SP), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the hippocampus; and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect mRNA transcription levels of Fyn, SP, VIP and NPY in the hippocampus.Results(1) Behavioral scores of rhinitis: compared with the normal group, behavioral scores of rhinitis were significantly higher in the model group, the traditional Chinese medicine group and the western medicine group before treatment (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). …”
