Aim To investigate the effect of salvianolic acid B (Sal B)on c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)ac-tivation and apoptosis of INS-1 cells induced by inter-mittent high glucose.Methods INS-1 cells were pre-incubated with Sal B for 24 h,followed by exposure to intermittent high glucose (IHG,11.1 mmol·L-1 12 h,33. 3 mmol·L-1 12 h)for 72 h.Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay and cell apoptosis was evalua-ted by flow cytometry.Glucose induced insulin secre-tion capacity and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS)contents were measured by enzyme linked im-munosorbent assay (ELISA)and a fluorescent probe DCFH-DA,respectively.Levels of JNK activation and PDX-1 protein expression were determined by Western blot analysis.Results Sal B significantly alleviated IHG-induced cell injury and apoptosis,with glucose induced insulin secretion capacity improved evidently (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Preincubation with Sal B no-tably decreased intracellular ROS and JNK activation in INS-1 cells,while the level of PDX-1 protein was in-creased markedly (P<0.05 or P<0.01 ).Conclu-sion Sal B is capable of ameliorating IHG-induced cell injury and apoptosis in INS-1 cells,which might be derived from suppression of JNK activation and up-regulation of PDX-1 protein expression.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of endoscopic thyroidectomy using the modified gasless transaxillary approach (TA group) and transsubclavian approach (TS group) in the treatment of cN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) .Methods:A total of 190 PTC patients (mean age 39.88±9.35 years,38 males, 152 females), who underwent unilateral thyroidectomy in the Department of Thyroid Surgery, the First Hospital of Jilin University from Oct. 2020 to Oct. 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 65 cases in TA group, 43 cases in TS group and 82 cases through traditional neck approach (TN group). The endoscopic group (TA+TS) consists of the TA group and the TS group. Comparative analyses were performed on operation time, full exposure rate of central compartment, postoperative hospitalization time, postoperative drainage, hospitalization costs, the number of dissected lymph nodes and postoperative complications. The t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test, the χ2 test or the exact probability method were used for statistical analysis. Results:All endoscopic operations were successfully completed without conversion to traditional neck approach. ① Compared with the TN group, the endoscopic group (TA+TS) had longer operation time[TN group =74.5 (65-87) min, (TA+TS) group =102 (89-121) min, P<0.001], lower full exposure rate of central compartment (TN group=100%, (TA+TS) group=89.8%, P=0.008), more postoperative drainage[TN group=60 (45-76) ml, (TA+TS) group =100 (80-130) ml, P<0.001], higher hospitalization costs[TN group=¥23638 (22158-25901), (TA+TS) group =¥26967 (25572-28284), P<0.001], and higher parathyroid autotransplantation rate (TN group=4.9%, (TA+TS) group =50.9%, P<0.001). There were no significant differences in the number of dissected lymph nodes, the number of metastatic lymph nodes, preoperative and postoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) ( P>0.05). ② Compared with the TS group, the TA group had longer operation time[TA group=110 (97-127) min, TS group=89 (80-111) min, P<0.001], lower full exposure rate of central compartment (TA group=83.1%, TS group=100%, P=0.012), longer postoperative hospitalization time[TA group=3 (3-4) d, TS group=3 (3-3) d, P=0.002], more postoperative drainage[TA group=110 (82-140) ml,TS group=95 (65~120) ml, P=0.046] and higher hospitalization costs (TA group=¥27510±2578,TS group=¥26609±1878, P=0.038). There were no significant differences in the number of dissected lymph nodes, the number of metastatic lymph nodes, preoperative and postoperative PTH, and parathyroid autotransplantation between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Endoscopic thyroidectomy through axillary/subclavian approach is safe and feasible for the treatment of cN0 PTC. There was no significant difference in the number of dissected central lymph nodes compared with conventional surgery, and the incision was well concealed. In comparison, transsubclavian endoscopic surgery has better clinical application value, with shorter operation time, higher full exposure rate of central compartment and faster postoperative recovery.

Background:
Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) is a widespread and highly infectious pathogen in cats with a high mortality rate. Although Yanji has a developed cat breeding industry, the variation of FPV locally is still unclear.
Objectives:
This study aimed to isolate and investigate the epidemiology of FPV in Yanji between 2021 and 2022.
Methods:
A strain of FPV was isolated from F81 cells. Cats suspected of FPV infection (n = 80) between 2021 and 2022 from Yanji were enrolled in this study. The capsid protein 2 (VP2) of FPV was amplified. It was cloned into the pMD-19T vector and transformed into a competent Escherichia coli strain. The positive colonies were analyzed via VP2 Sanger sequencing. A phylogenetic analysis based on a VP2 coding sequence was performed to identify the genetic relationships between the strains.
Results:
An FPV strain named YBYJ-1 was successfully isolated. The virus diameter was approximately 20–24 nm, 50% tissue culture infectious dose = 1 × 10 −4.94 /mL, which caused cytopathic effect in F81 cells. The epidemiological survey from 2021 to 2022 showed that 27 of the 80 samples were FPV-positive. Additionally, three strains positive for CPV-2c were unexpectedly found. Phylogenetic analysis showed that most of the 27 FPV strains belonged to the same group, and no mutations were found in the critical amino acids.
Conclusions
A local FPV strain named YBYJ-1 was successfully isolated. There was no critical mutation in FPV in Yanji, but some cases with CPV-2c infected cats were identified.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of modified Shenqiwan on renal function and fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy mice and explore the underlying mechanism based on the glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β)/cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) response element-binding protein (CREB) signaling pathway. MethodFifty male db/db mice and 10 db/m mice were used in this study. The fifty db/db mice were randomly divided into model group, irbesartan group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose modified Shenqiwan groups. The 10 db/m mice were assigned to the normal group. The mice in the low-, medium-, and high-dose modified Shenqiwan groups were administered with modified Shenqiwan in the dosage form of suspension of Chinese medicinal granules by gavage, those in the irbesartan group were given irbesartan suspension by gavage, and those in the normal and model groups were given distilled water of equal volume by gavage. The intervention lasted for 12 weeks. The blood glucose levels, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), and the protein expression levels of GSK-3β, CREB, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), E-cadherin, Vimentin, fibronectin (FN), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and Collagen type Ⅳ (Coll Ⅳ) in the mouse kidneys were recorded before and after treatment. The extent of renal pathological damage was also observed. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed significant increases in blood glucose levels, UACR levels, and the protein expression levels of GSK-3β, TGF-β1, E-cadherin, Vimentin, FN, PAI-1, and Coll Ⅳ in the kidneys (P<0.05), decreased protein expression level of CREB (P<0.05), and severe renal pathological damage. Compared with the model group, the low-, medium-, and high-dose modified Shenqiwan groups and the irbesartan group showed varying degrees of decreases in blood glucose levels, UACR levels, and the protein expression levels of GSK-3β, TGF-β1, E-cadherin, Vimentin, FN, PAI-1, and Coll Ⅳ in the kidneys (P<0.05), increased expression level of CREB protein (P<0.05), and improved renal pathological damage. ConclusionModified Shenqiwan can effectively reduce blood glucose levels, improve renal function, and alleviate fibrosis, and the mechanism of action is related to the inhibition of the GSK-3β/CREB signaling pathway.

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of endoscopic thyroidectomy using a modified gasless transsubclavian approach and the traditional neck approach for unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma (cN0). Methods: The clinical data of 135 patients with cN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma who underwent unilateral thyroidectomy in the Department of Thyroid Surgery, the First Hospital of Jilin University from October 2020 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 37 males and 98 females, aging (43.2±8.8) years (range: 21 to 59 years). There were 51 cases using the modified gasless transsubclavian approach (TS group) and 84 cases using the traditional neck approach (TN group). Comparative analyses were performed between the operative results of the 2 groups by t-test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, and χ2 test. Results: All endoscopic operations were successfully completed without conversion to the traditional neck approach. Compared to the TN group, the TS group had a longer operation time (M(IQR)) (73.5 (22.5) minutes vs. 90.0 (30.0) minutes, Z=-5.831, P<0.01), more postoperative drainage (60 (25) ml vs. 95 (45) ml, Z=-6.275, P<0.01), higher hospitalization costs (22 687 (3 488) yuan vs. 26 652 (2 431) yuan, Z=-6.944, P<0.01), and a higher rate of parathyroid autotransplantation (15.5% (13/84) vs. 60.8% (31/51), χ2=29.651, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the total exposure rate of the central compartment, postoperative hospitalization time, the number of dissected lymph nodes, the number of metastatic lymph nodes, C-reactive protein ratio before and after operation, and preoperative and postoperative parathyroid hormone (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Endoscopic thyroidectomy using the modified gasless transsubclavian approach is safe for cN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma, with longer operating time, more postoperative drainage, higher hospitalization costs, and moredifficulty in preserving the inferior parathyroid gland in situ compared to traditional open surgery.
