Abstract
Huanglian Jiedu Decoction (HJD) is used for treating sepsis in China. Active components from HJD refer to various active ingredients of HJD, while active component formulation (ACF) refers to the combination of palmatine, berberine, baicalin, and geniposide from HJD according to the quantity of HJD. The detailed mechanisms of the active components from HJD and ACF in sepsis treatment are unclear. Molecular docking, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), ELISA, RT-qPCR, and Western blotting were used to assay the possible mechanism in vitro. The efficacy and mechanism of ACF and HJD were assessed by pharmacodynamics and metabolomics analyses, respectively. The results revealed that palmatine, berberine, baicalin, and geniposide showed good binding capacity to MD-2; decreased the release of NO, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β; inhibited the mRNA expression of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and COX-2; and downregulated the protein expressions of MD-2, MyD88, p-p65, and iNOS induced by LPS; which indicated that they can inactivate the LPS-TLR4/MD-2-NF-κB pathway. Thus, ACF was formed, and the pharmacodynamics assay suggested that ACF can reduce inflammatory cell infiltration and organ damage in accordance with HJD. Furthermore, 39 metabolites were selected and identified and the regulatory effect of these metabolites by ACF and HJD was almost consistent, but ACF might alleviate physical damage caused by HJD through regulating metabolites, such as 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid. ACF could represent HJD as a new formulation to treat sepsis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of acute liver failure (ALF). Pyroptosis is a necrosis type related to inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the role of TNF-α/HMGB1 pathway in pyroptosis during ALF and AKI. METHODS An ALF and AKI mouse model was generated using LPS/D-Gal, and a TNF-α inhibitor, CC-5013, was used to treat the mice. THP-1 cells were induced to differentiate into M1 macrophages, then challenged with either CC-5013 or an HMGB1 inhibitor, glycyrrhizin. pLVX-mCMVZsGreen-PGK-Puros plasmids containing TNF-α wild-type (WT), mutation A94T of TNF-α and mutation P84L of TNF-α were transfected into M1 macrophages. RESULTS Treatment with CC-5013 decreased the activation of TNF-α/HMGB1 pathway and pyroptosis in the treated mice and cells compared with the control mice and cells. CC-5013 also ameliorated liver and kidney pathological changes and improved liver and renal functions in treated mice, and the number of M1 macrophages in the liver and kidney tissues also decreased. The activation of TNF-α/HMGB1 pathway and pyroptosis increased in the M1 macrophage group compared with the normal group. Similarly, the activation of TNF-α/HMGB1 pathway and pyroptosis in the LPS + WT group also increased. By contrast, the activation of the TNF-α/HMGB1 pathway and pyroptosis decreased in the LPS + A94T and LPS + P84L groups. Moreover, glycyrrhizin inhibited pyroptosis. CONCLUSION The TNF-α/HMGB1 inflammation signalling pathway plays an important role in pyroptosis during ALF and AKI.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate serum and tissue procalcitonin (PCT) levels in patients with nasal polyps. METHODS The study was designed to be prospectively controlled and included 26 patients chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) endoscopically diagnosed and as a control group 25 chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyp (CRSsNP). NP specimens, nasal mucosal tissue and venous blood samples of both groups were collected and PCT levels determined by Elisa method. The results were compared statistically. RESULTS Serum PCT values were 1319.5 pg/mL in the NP group and 818.8 pg/mL in the control group. The difference between the groups was statistically significant (p = 0.0001). In the NP group, the average PCT value of the polyp tissue was 1521.5 pg/gr, while the mean PCT value of the control group in the nasal mucosa was 414.6 pg/gr. There was a statistically significant difference between the groups (p = 0.0001). The tissue cut-off value of PCT 750 was significant [area under curve 0.940 (0.863-1.00)]. Serum PCT 950 cut-off value was significant [area under curve 0.860 (0.748-0.972)] activity (CI: 95%). CONCLUSIONS This is the first study of its kind to objectively examine PCT in the polyp and serum of CRSwNP patients. PCT may serve as a diagnostic biomarker in nasal polyps.

Abstract
Nasal Polyposis (NP) is a complex multi-factorial disease; associated with several environmental, genetic and inflammatory factors. TNF-alpha is one of the major pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in NP pathogenesis. Some of the polymorphisms of this gene affect its expression. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the polymorphism of TNF-alpha G/A308 gene and its association with nasal polyposis in north part of Iran. In this case-control study, 60 patients with NP and 75 healthy individuals referred to Guilan University hospital were evaluated. After DNA extraction, RFLP-PCR was used to determine polymorphism. Chi-square test was used to compare the frequency distribution of genotype and alleles of TNF-alpha gene with NP. The frequency of genotype G/G, A/A and G/A in the NP group was 46.7, 10.0 and 43.3%, and in the control group was 65.3, 5.3 and 29.3%, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between genotype G/G in two groups (P = 0.006, OR 2.58, CI 1.27-5.23). In addition, the frequency of allele A in patients and controls was 31.7 and 20%, respectively; and this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.02). The findings of this study demonstrated that polymorphism in TNF-alpha gene might be a risk factor for NP in north part of Iran and the minor frequency of G308A allele in the current study is slightly more than other major populations. However, more investigations with high number of population are necessary in future.
