Objective To investigate the level of phosphorylated high-molecular-weight neurofilament (pNF-H) after spinal cord injury (SCI), and explore the relationship between pNF-H and severity of SCI. Methods 20 Sprague-Dawley rats were equally divided into control group (group A), mild SCI group (group B), moderate SCI group (group C) and severe SCI group (group D). The level of pNF-H in serum, BBB score and remaining area of white matter were obtained at different time points. Results The level of serum pNF-H in groups B, C and D arrived at peaks 12 hours and 3 days after SCI, and there was significant difference among them (P<0.05). Both BBB score and remaining area of white matter 14 days after SCI negatively correlated with the level of pNF-H 3 days after SCI (r=-0.987 and r=-0.978, respective-ly). Conclusion The pNF-H increases twice after SCI in rats, and may be associated with the severe of SCI, which can be considered as a biomarker.

Although previous studies have shown functional efficacy of myelotomy for the treatment of spinal
cord injury (SCI), the underlying mechanism remained unknown. This study aimed to determine
the relationship between myelotomy-mediated neuroprotection and autophagy following SCI by
evaluating the expression of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3-II) and mammalian
target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Ninety-nine adult female rats were randomly assigned
to either sham-operated group (SG), model group (MG), or 24 h-myelotomy group (MTG). SCI at
T10 was induced with a New York University impactor, and myelotomy was performed 24 h after
SCI. Functional recovery was evaluated via the open-field test. The protein expression of LC3-II
was analyzed by Western blot, and the mRNA expression of LC3-II and mTORC1 were detected by
real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Rats in the MTG exhibited
significantly better performance in the hind limbs compared to those in the MG on day seven and
fourteen post-injury. Myelotomy suppressed the protein and mRNA expression of LC3-II on day three,
seven and fourteen post-injury and increased the mRNA expression of mTORC1 in the MTG on day
three and seven post-injury. The LC3-II protein expression was significantly and negatively correlated
with BBB scores at day seven and fourteen post-injury. These results showed that myelotomy-induced
neuroprotection in a rat model of SCI was likely mediated by inhibition of autophagy by activation
of the mTORC1 signaling pathway
4.Clinical study on the relationship between circulating tumor cells and neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2023;42(9):1094-1098
Objective:To analyze the correlation between the level of circulating tumor cells(CTC)and the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer.Methods:A total of 79 patients with breast cancer who underwent neoadjuvant therapy between October 2020 and December 2022 were included in this study.Venous blood samples were collected before and after treatment to measure the number of mononuclear cells and the presence of cytokeratin-19(CK-19)positive circulating tumor cells(CTCs).Results:The pre-treatment positive detection rate of CTC in patients was 26.6%(21/79), and it was found to be correlated with HER-2 expression, TNM staging, and KI-67 percentage.After neoadjuvant therapy, the positive rate of CTC decreased to 8.9%(7/79), which was lower than the rate before neoadjuvant therapy( χ2=16.185, P<0.001).Based on the CTC results measured before and after neoadjuvant therapy, the groups were classified into negative/negative, positive/positive, negative/positive, and positive/negative groups.In accordance with the RECIST standard, the predicted efficacy was 75.0%(36/48)in the CTC negative/negative group and 83.3%(20/24)in the positive/negative group.The treatment effectiveness rate was notably higher compared to the CTC positive/positive group, which had a rate of 25.0%(1/4), and the negative/positive group, which had a rate of 0.0%(0/3)( χ2=13.886, P=0.003).According to Miller Payne's standard for predicting efficacy, the treatment effectiveness rate in the CTC negative/negative group was 72.9%(35/48), while in the positive/negative group it was 79.2%(19/24).These rates were significantly higher than the rates in the CTC positive/positive group(50.0%, 2/4)and the negative/positive group(0.0%, 0/3).( χ2=9.043, P=0.029). Conclusion:There is a correlation between the level of circulating tumor cells(CTC)and the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy.CTC can be considered as an evaluation indicator for assessing the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy.

AIM: To investigate the effects of age, gender, duration of medication and combined medication on the steady-state blood concentration of tacrolimus in patients with autoimmune diseases, and to establish the reference range of steady-state blood concentration of tacrolimus in combination with liver and kidney function, so as to provide theoretical basis for clinical individual medication. METHODS: A total of 107 patients with autoimmune diseases treated with tacrolimus in the department of rheumatology and immunology of our hospital from August 2017 to June 2021 were included. Their gender, age, dose, drug combination, blood concentration, and liver and kidney function were statistically analyzed by SPSS 22.0 statistical software. RESULTS: In the treatment of autoimmune diseases with tacrolimus, there was statistical significance in the blood concentration of different genders (P<0.05), but there was no statistical significance in the blood concentration of different ages (P>0.05) and a statistically significant difference in the dosage of tacrolimus (P<0.05), the duration of medication did not affect the effective dose, target blood concentration, liver and kidney functions. There was a weak correlation between tacrolimus dose and blood concentration (r=0.115, P=0.047). When the blood concentration of tacrolimus ranged from 4.20 to 9.48 ng/mL, the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and urea increased significantly. When tacrolimus blood concentration ranged from 0.08 to 4.20 ng/mL, there was no significant difference in serum creatinine, AST, ALT, albumin, total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), indirect bilirubin (IBIL). CONCLUSION: Tacrolimus is used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and the blood concentration varies greatly among individuals. To avoid the risk of potential damage to liver and kidney function. It is recommended that clinicians control the blood concentration at 0.08-4.20 ng/mL, and adjust the dose and optimize the dose according to the patient's gender, age, and clinical efficacy.

AIM: To establish individualized drug therapy strategy for patients with rejection and hyperglycemia after liver transplantation. METHODS: Clinical pharmacist collaborated with the surgeons and participated in the diagnosis and treatment of rejection and hyperglycemia after liver transplantation. Taking together liver function, therapeutic drug monitoring, drug-drug interactions between tacrolimus and wuzhi capsule, individualized drug therapy was adapted to improve the prognosis. RESULTS: The patient recovered well and survived in good health till now. CONCLUSION: It is highly suggested that clinical pharmacists actively involved in treatment of more severe and difficult-to-treat disease and design the individualized dosing regimens. This will largely contribute in reduced adverse drug reaction, improved safety and effectiveness in drug use as well as the quality of life in the "post-transplantation era".
