The strong induced inflammation often causes death. Tanshinone ⅡA(Tan-ⅡA) is the major constituent of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge and has been shown to display anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of Tan-ⅡA on ALI.Methods: A murine model of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced ALI was used. The lungs and serum samples of mice were extracted at 3 days after treatment. ALI-induced inflammatory damages were confirmed from cytokine detections and histomorphology observations. Effects of Tan-ⅡA were investigated using in vivo and in vitro ALI models. Tan-ⅡA mechanisms were investigated by performing Western blot and flow cytometry experiments. A wound-healing assay was performed to confirm the Tan-ⅡA function.Results: The cytokine storm induced by LPS treatment was detected at 3 days after LPS treatment, and alveolar epithelial damage and lymphocyte aggregation were observed. Tan-ⅡA treatment attenuated the LPS-induced inflammation and reduced the levels of inflammatory cytokines released not only by inhibiting neutrophils, but also by macrophage. Moreover, we found that macrophage activation and polarization after LPS treatment were abrogated after applying the Tan-ⅡA treatment. An in vitro assay also confirmed that including the Tan-ⅡA supplement increased the relative amount of the M2 subtype and decreased that of M1. Rebalanced macrophages and Tan-ⅡA inhibited activations of the nuclear factor-κB and hypoxia-inducible factor pathways. Including Tan-ⅡA and macrophages also improved alveolar epithelial repair by regulating macrophage polarization.Conclusion: This study found that while an LPS-induced cytokine storm exacerbated ALI, including Tan-ⅡA could prevent ALI-induced inflammation and improve the alveolar epithelial repair, and do so by regulating macrophage polarization.展开更多

The safety and correctness of the assembly code is crucial to guarantee the safety of the whole system. In this paper, we propose a practical Hoare-style program logic for verifying SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture) assembly code. The logic supports modular reasoning about the main features of SPARCv8 ISA (instruction set architecture), including delayed control transfers, delayed writes to special registers, and register windows. It also supports relational reasoning for refinement verification. We have applied it to verify that there is a contextual refinement between a context switch routine in SPARCv8 and a switch primitive. The program logic and its soundness proof have been mechanized in Coq.展开更多
