AIM:To investigate the effect of tert-butylhydroquinone ( tBHQ) on the replicative senescence of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).METHODS: Late stage BMSCs were continuously treated with tBHQ at concentration of 30 μmol/L for 4 weeks and the cells were used for the following assays immediately .The proteasomal ac-tivity was determined by chemiluminescence method .The samples were subjected to CCK-8 assay and BrdU incorporation as well as flow cytometry analysis for analyzing the cell vitality and proliferation .Percentage of senescent cells was detected by senescence-associatedβ-galactosidase ( SA-β-Gal) staining.The expression of P53 was measured by Western blot .RE-SULTS:After the continuous treatment of tBHQ (30 μmol/L) for 4 weeks, the proteasomal activity of late stage BMSCs increased by 21.96%±1.98%(P<0.05).The cell vitality and survival were significantly increased with the increases in tBHQ doses till 40 μmol/L, and no cytotoxicity reaction with the increased dose of tBHQ till 120 μmol/L was observed . BrdU-positive cells, which represented the cell proliferation , were significantly increased (P<0.05).The proliferation in-dex was also significantly increased by flow cytometry analysis (P<0.05).The SA-β-Gal positive cells and the expression of P53 were decreased (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:tBHQ delays the proteasome dysfunction associated senescence pro-gress of BMSCs by increasing the proteasomal activity .

Objective To investigate the value of adenosine deaminase( ADA) for the diagnosis of tubercu-lous pleural effusion.Methods A retrospective analysis was made of 324 cases of tuberculous pleural effusion patients which were effective treated and 68 cases were diagnosed of malignant pleural effusion.By drawing receiver operating characteristic curve, the best threshold of diagnosing of tuberculous pleural effusion was determined,and the distribution characteristics of ADA in tuberculous pleural effusion were analyzed.Results When the ADA was set at 19.5U/L it was good for identifying tuberculous empyema and tuberculous pleurisy.The activity of ADA in group of different gender did not have significant difference(Z=-0.572,P=0.283).The activity of ADA had significant difference between tuberculous empyema with tuberculous pleurisy patients(Z=-2.317,P=0.01),and the same as in group of different ages between less than or equal to 45 years old with the others(Z=-2.387,P=0.008).The activity of ADA had significant difference between tuberculous empyema and tuberculous pleurisy patients of younger than 45 years old(Z=-2.740,P=0.003),but not in the group of less than or equal to 45 years old (Z=-0.267, P=0.390).Conclusion The activity of ADA is good for identifying diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion and malignant pleural effusion, especially in tuberculous empyema and less than or equal to 45 years old patients.The standard of diagnosis and the nature of the tuberculous pleural effusion may affect the cut-off value of ADA.

ObjectiveTo investigate the demyelination induced by Angiostrongylus cantonensis (AC) infection in the brain of Balb/c mice and analyze the untargeted metabolomic changes in the corpus callosum, aiming to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. MethodsBalb/c mice were randomly assigned to a control group (n=6) and an infection group (n=6). The infection group was orally administered 30 third-stage larvae of AC, while the control group received an equal volume of saline. Body weight, visual function, and behavioral scores were measured on post-infection 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21 days to assess neurological alterations. After 21 days, brain tissues were harvested for immunofluorescence staining, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and transmission electron microscopy to examine morphological changes in brain myelin and retina. Metabolomics analysis was performed, and differential metabolites were identified using volcano plots and heatmaps. The distribution of fold changes and bar charts were used to profile the key metabolites. These differential metabolites were then subjected to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis and regulatory network analysis. ResultsOn the 9th day after AC infection, Balb/c mice showed a decline in neurological behavioral scores (P<0.05). By day 15, visual scores decreased (P<0.05), and by day 21, significant weight loss (P<0.001) and mortality were observed. Concurrently, transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence staining revealed significant myelin damage in the corpus callosum and a marked reduction in oligodendrocytes (P<0.001). HE staining showed severe retinal ganglion cell damage. Metabolomic analysis revealed that glycerophospholipids were the most abundant differential metabolites, with steroids and sphingolipids being relatively less abundant. Cholesteryl ester CE (20:2) was significantly upregulated (P<0.001), while phosphatidylmethanol (18:0_18:1) was significantly downregulated (P<0.01). KEGG enrichment and regulatory network analyses demonstrated that the differential metabolites were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways like steroid biosynthesis, bile secretion, and cholesterol metabolism, and were involved in key metabolic pathways such as sphingolipid metabolism, neural signal regulation, and glycerophospholipid metabolism. ConclusionsAC infection affects the metabolic state of mice via multiple pathways, modifying the levels of metabolites crucial for myelination and myelin stability. Demyelination may be closely linked to the disruption of these key metabolic pathways, particularly the dysregulation of cholesterol and sphingolipid metabolism, potentially playing a central role in demyelination onset. Furthermore, alterations in phospholipid metabolism and abnormal nerve signaling regulation may exacerbate myelin damage.

BACKGROUND:Current studies have confirmed that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides can promote nerve regeneration in neurodegeneration-related diseases.The occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases is closely related to mitochondrial dysfunction,but the role of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides on the regulation of apoptosis and mitochondrial function in neurodegenerative diseases is not yet clarified. OBJECTIVE:To explore the regulatory effects and mechanisms of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides on apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction in H2O2-induced SH-SY5Y cells. METHODS:SH-SY5Y cells were divided into three groups:control group,H2O2 group,and Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides group.Cells in the control group were normally cultured.Cells in the H2O2 group were treated with 300 μmol/L H2O2 for 24 hours.In the Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides group,the intervention with 300 μg/L Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides was conducted first for 1-2 hours,followed by the addition of 300 μmol/L H2O2 for 24 hours.The mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 kit.Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining kit.The activities of malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase were detected by malondialdehyde test kit and superoxide dismutase test kit,respectively.The apoptosis and expression of mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins were detected by immunofluorescence staining and western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the control group,the mitochondrial membrane potential and superoxide dismutase activity were significantly reduced,as well as apoptotic rate and malondialdehyde levels were significantly increased in the H2O2 group(P<0.05).After treatment with Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides,the membrane potential and superoxide dismutase activities were significantly increased,and apoptotic rate and malondialdehyde levels were significantly reduced compared with the H2O2 group(P<0.05).(2)The expression levels of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Caspase-3 were significantly increased,but the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly decreased in the H2O2 group compared with the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the H2O2 group,the levels of Bax and Caspase-3 were significantly decreased,but the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly increased in the Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides group(P<0.05).(3)Compared with the control group,the expression of mitochondrial splitting proteins Fis1 and p-Drp1 was significantly increased,but the expression of mitochondrial fusion proteins OPA1,Mfn1,and Mfn2 was decreased in the H2O2 group(P<0.05).Compared with the H2O2 group,Fis1 and p-Drp1 expression was significantly reduced,but the expression levels of OPA1,Mfn1,and Mfn2 were significantly increased in the Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides group(P<0.05).(4)The above results confirm that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides can attenuate H2O2-induced oxidative stress damage and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells by ameliorating mitochondrial dysfunction.
