ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the mechanism by which Yishen Huoxue Tongqiao Formula improves metabolism-neuroplasticity and treats unilateral vestibular labyrinth destruction by regulating the metabolic balance of glutamate （Glu）/γ-aminobutyric acid （GABA）. Methods48 Sprague-Dawley （SD） adult rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group， model group， Yishen Huoxue Tongqiao Formula groups with low， medium， and high doses （9.20， 18.39， 36.78 g·kg^-1）， and betahistine group （1.62 mg·kg^-1）. A unilateral vestibular labyrinth destruction （vestibular dysfunction） model was established by intratympanic injection of chloroform into the right ear， while the control group received intratympanic injection of normal saline. Drugs were administered once daily for seven consecutive days. During the period， behavioral tests were performed to evaluate the behaviors of rats after unilateral vestibular labyrinth destruction. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and Nissl staining were used to observe the neuronal morphology in the medial vestibular nucleus. Golgi staining was employed to assess the number of dendritic spines of neurons in the medial vestibular nucleus. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （LC-ESI-MS/MS） was utilized to detect Glu/GABA. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expressions of neuronal nuclei （NeuN）， growth-associated protein 43 （GAP-43）， and glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP）. Western blot and real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） were applied to determine the expressions of glutamate-immunoreactive （Glu-IR）， GABA， GFAP， postsynaptic density protein 95 （PSD-95）， and GAP-43. ResultsCompared with the sham operation group， the model group presented with head deviation， balance disorder， increased tail suspension score， nuclear consolidation of medial vestibular nerve neurons， and decreased Nissl bodies （P<0.01）. The number of dendritic spines in neurons and NeuN-positive cells decreased. The content of Glu decreased. The content of GABA increased （Glu/GABA decreased）. The expression of GAP-43 was down-regulated， and GFAP was up-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The expressions of Glu-IR， PSD-95， and GAP-43 proteins， as well as Glu-IR mRNA decreased， while the expressions of GABA and GFAP proteins and mRNA increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with those in the model group， the head deviation， imbalanced behavior， and tail suspension scores in each treatment group decreased， with alleviated neuronal injury and recovered Nissl bodies （P<0.01）. The number of dendritic spines of neurons increased， and the number of NeuN-positive cells rebounded. The content of Glu increased， and the content of GABA decreased （Glu/GABA increased）. GFAP was down-regulated， and GAP-43 was up-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The expressions of Glu-IR， PMD-95， and GAP-43 proteins， as well as Glu-IR mRNA increased， while the expressions of GABA and GFAP proteins and mRNA decreased. The effect was more significant in the high-dose group （P<0.01）. ConclusionThe Yishen Huoxue Tongqiao Formula can alleviate vestibular dysfunction， and its mechanism may be associated with regulating the metabolic balance of Glu/GABA， mitigating neural damage， improving synaptic plasticity （promoting GAP-43 expression and inhibiting GFAP expression）， and facilitating vestibular compensation.

PURPOSE: To investigate the protective effect of sub-hypothermic mechanical perfusion combined with membrane lung oxygenation on ischemic hypoxic injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss. METHODS: This article performed a random controlled trial. Brain tissue of 7 yorkshire was selected and divided into the sub-low temperature anterograde machine perfusion group (n = 4) and the blank control group (n = 3) using the random number table method. A yorkshire model of brain tissue injury induced by traumatic blood loss was established. Firstly, the perfusion temperature and blood oxygen saturation were monitored in real-time during the perfusion process. The number of red blood cells, hemoglobin content, NA⁺, K⁺, and Ca²⁺ ions concentrations and pH of the perfusate were detected. Following perfusion, we specifically examined the parietal lobe to assess its water content. The prefrontal cortex and hippocampus were then dissected for histological evaluation, allowing us to investigate potential regional differences in tissue injury. The blank control group was sampled directly before perfusion. All statistical analyses and graphs were performed using GraphPad Prism 8.0 Student t-test. All tests were two-sided, and p value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. RESULTS: The contents of red blood cells and hemoglobin during perfusion were maintained at normal levels but more red blood cells were destroyed 3 h after the perfusion. The blood oxygen saturation of the perfusion group was maintained at 95% - 98%. NA⁺ and K⁺ concentrations were normal most of the time during perfusion but increased significantly at about 4 h. The Ca²⁺ concentration remained within the normal range at each period. Glucose levels were slightly higher than the baseline level. The pH of the perfusion solution was slightly lower at the beginning of perfusion, and then gradually increased to the normal level. The water content of brain tissue in the sub-low and docile perfusion group was 78.95% ± 0.39%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (75.27% ± 0.55%, t = 10.49, p < 0.001), and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with the blank control group, the structure and morphology of pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex and CA1 region of the hippocampal gyrus were similar, and their integrity was better. The structural integrity of granulosa neurons was destroyed and cell edema increased in the perfusion group compared with the blank control group. Immunofluorescence staining for glail fibrillary acidic protein and Iba1, markers of glial cells, revealed well-preserved cell structures in the perfusion group. While there were indications of abnormal cellular activity, the analysis showed no significant difference in axon thickness or integrity compared to the 1-h blank control group. CONCLUSIONS Mild hypothermic machine perfusion can improve ischemia and hypoxia injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss and delay the necrosis and apoptosis of yorkshire brain tissue by continuous oxygen supply, maintaining ion homeostasis and reducing tissue metabolism level.

Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

Immunoassays are widely used in medicine, food, environment and other fields due to having the advantages of simpleness, rapidness and accuracy. Combining immunoassays with nanomaterials can improve the performance of immunoassays. Compared with traditional nanomaterials, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have excellent optical properties such as good photostability, long luminescence lifetime and narrow and tunable emission bands, which can significantly reduce background noise and improve analytical sensitivity when combined with immunoassay. This paper briefly introduces the luminescence mechanism of UCNPs, summarizes the synthesis and surface modification methods of UCNPs. And then 5 UCNPs-based immunoassay techniques, namely, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, inner filter effect, magnetic separation technique, upconversion-linked immunosorbent assay and upconversion immunochromatography, are discussed in detail. These sensing protocols of UCNPs-based immunoassays have been successfully utilized to detect various targets, including small molecules, macromolecules, and pathogens, all of which closely related to food safety, human health, and environmental pollution. Finally, the challenges and prospects of this technique are summarized and prospected. Although the UCNPs immunoassays based on antibodies and antigens have made great progress, most of the research is still in the stage of laboratory, and there is a long way to go to realize its social applications. There is a series of challenges need to be overcome. (1) Designing excellent water soluble and dispersive upconversion nanomaterials is needed. Hydrophilic ligands are bound to smaller upconversion nanoparticles and removing hydrophobic surface ligands are the most widely used methods to improve solubility and dispersity. (2) Multi-detection technology platforms and multi-mode simultaneous detection platforms have great potential, which will improve the efficiency of point of care detection. (3) The researchers also need to focus on some important problems. For examples, the upconversion luminescence efficiency of UCNPs is difficult to maintain, the synthesis method is complex, and the surface modification degree and functionalization are difficult to control.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of histopathological examination of ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy samples in extrapulmonary tuberculosis(EPTB). Methods This study was conducted at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center.A total of 115 patients underwent ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy,followed by MGIT 960 culture(culture),smear,GeneXpert MTB/RIF(Xpert),and histopathological examination.These assays were performed to evaluate their effectiveness in diagnosing EPTB in comparison to two different diagnostic criteria:liquid culture and composite reference standard(CRS). Results When CRS was used as the reference standard,the sensitivity and specificity of culture,smear,Xpert,and histopathological examination were(44.83%,89.29%),(51.72%,89.29%),(70.11%,96.43%),and(85.06%,82.14%),respectively.Based on liquid culture tests,the sensitivity and specificity of smear,Xpert,and pathological examination were(66.67%,72.60%),(83.33%,63.01%),and(92.86%,45.21%),respectively.Histopathological examination showed the highest sensitivity but lowest specificity.Further,we found that the combination of Xpert and histopathological examination showed a sensitivity of 90.80%and a specificity of 89.29%. Conclusion Ultrasound-guided puncture sampling is safe and effective for the diagnosis of EPTB.Compared with culture,smear,and Xpert,histopathological examination showed higher sensitivity but lower specificity.The combination of histopathology with Xpert showed the best performance characteristics.

Objective To investigate the effects of eicosanoic acid(C20DC)on the proliferation and migration of human retinal endothelial cells(HRECs)and its mechanism.Methods The optimal working concentration of C20DC in human retinal pigment epithelium 19(ARPE-19)cells and HRECs was determined as 30 mg·L-1 and 25 mg·L-1,respec-tively.HRECs were divided into the C20DC treatment group(HRECs treated with C20DC)and the control group[HRECs treated with dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)].The effects of C20DC on the migration and proliferation of HRECs were detec-ted by cell proliferation and migration experiments.The molecular docking method was used to simulate the binding ability of C20DC to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ(PPARδ).ARPE-19 cells were divided into the C20DC+ARPE-19 group(ARPE-19 cells treated with C20DC)and the DMSO+ARPE-19 group(ARPE-19 cells treated with DMSO).The ex-pression levels of PPARδ and angiopoietin-like protein 4(ANGPTL4)in ARPE-19 cells and ANGPTL4 protein in HRECs were detected using Western blot.The ANGPTL4 protein expression levels in ARPE-19 cells and HRECs were quantitatively analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results Compared with the control group,the prolifera-tion and migration of cells in the C20DC treatment group significantly increased(both P＜0.05),and C20DC could stably bind to PPAR8(binding energy:-7.20 kcal·mol-1).Western blot showed that the expression level of ANGPTL4 protein in the C20DC+ARPE-19 group was higher than that in the DMSO+ARPE-19 group,and the difference was statistically sig-nificant(P＜0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in the expression level of PPARδ receptor protein be-tween the two groups(P＞0.05).The expression level of ANGPTL4 protein in the C20DC treatment group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).ELISA quantitative analysis showed that the expression level of ANGPTL4 in the C20DC+ARPE-19 group was higher than that in the DMSO+ARPE-19 group(P＜0.001);the expression level of ANGPTL4 in the C20DC treatment group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion C20DC can promote the expression of ANGPTL4 pro-tein by binding to PPARδ and thus increase the proliferation and migration of retinal related cells(HRECs and ARPE-19 cells).Its mechanism may be related to the increased angiogenesis in retinopathy of prematurity.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the liver and poses serious health burdens on China and the whole world. However， most patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are already in the advanced stage at the time of diagnosis， with fewer opportunities for surgery and limited treatment options. In recent years， the advances in molecular targeted therapies have brought new hope for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Among these therapies， lenvatinib is the second first-line drug after sorafenib approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma， and it has attracted widespread attention for its powerful anti-tumor properties. However， the efficacy of lenvatinib is severely limited by its drug resistance. This article reviews the research advances in the molecular mechanisms of lenvatinib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma and discusses possible ways to improve the efficacy of lenvatinib， so as to improve its efficacy.

Objective:To explore the effects of hyperoxic environments on renal metabolites to understand the potential mechanisms that contribute to pathologic retinal vascular neovascularization and renal injury through metabolomic studies in a mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model.Methods:Sixteen C57/B6J mice pups born to day 7 (P7) were randomly and equally divided into an OIR model group and a normal control group using a randomized numerical table of mother mice.Mice were reared standardly from birth until day 7 (P7), then mice and their mother mice in the OIR group were placed in a hyperoxic (75±2)% chamber until day 12 (P12) and then reared normally.Mice in the normal control group were reared normally throughout.Mice in two groups were killed by carbon dioxide euthanasia on postnatal day 17 (P17). The mice retinal wholemount from the two groups were made and stained with isolectin B4 (IB4) to observe the morphology of retinal vessels, central non-perfusion area and pathological neovascularization.The kidney tissue of P17 mice was analyzed by liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer.After anticoagulant treatment, the whole blood of mice was centrifuged and precipitated, and the obtained plasma without cellular components was analyzed by targeted metabonomics.Mass spectral information was interpreted using metabolomics data processing software Progenesis QI v2.3.Overall differences in metabolic profiles were distinguished by unsupervised principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares analysis (OPLS-DA). The fold change and P values of metabolites were compared between the two groups.The variable importance of projection value>1 and P value<0.05 was used to screen out differential metabolites.Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis of differential metabolites was performed based on the KEGG database.The feeding and use of animals were strictly in accordance with the requirements of the Ethics Committee of Jinan University, and the research protocol was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of Jinan University (No.20200401-54). Results:The IB4 staining of retinal wholemounts showed that the retinal blood vessels were evenly distributed in the P17 mice from control group.The peripheral retinal vessels were tortuous and disordered with a large non-perfusion area in central region in P17 mice from OIR group, and a large number of neovascularization clusters were formed at the junction of the nonperfusion area and the vascular area of the retina, showing strong fluorescent staining.The relative area of retinal nonperfusion area in OIR group was (25.16±3.50)%, which was significantly larger than (0.63±0.30)% in normal control group ( t=12.07, P<0.001). The OPLS-DA parameter R2X cum (0.578), interpretation rate R2Y cum (0.978) and prediction rate Q2 cum (0.857) values were all greater than 0.5, indicating that the OPLS-DA model had a good predictive ability.A total of 26 main differential metabolites were found, among which 17 were up-regulated and 9 were down-regulated, including glycerophospholipids (PC 20∶4(5Z, 8Z, 11Z, 14Z)/0∶0, PC 22∶6(4Z, 7Z, 10Z, 13Z, 16Z, 19Z)/0∶0, PC 14∶1(9Z)/20∶2(11Z, 14Z), PE P-18∶0/20∶4(6E, 8Z, 11Z, 14Z)(5OH[S]), amino acid metabolites (arginine, ornithine, pipecolic acid, and hydroxylysine), purines (guanine, hypoxanthine, hydroxypurinol), and fatty acids (methyl 15-palmitate, 2, 6, 8, 12-tetramethyl-2, 4-tridecadien-1-ol), and so on.Differential metabolites were mainly enriched in ABC transporters (L-arginine, taurine, inositol, adenosine, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, L-glutamine), aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis (L-isoleucine, L-proline, L-arginine, L-histidine, L-glutamine), arginine biosynthesis (L-arginine, L-ornithine, L-glutamine) metabolic pathways.The plasma targeted metabonomics showed that the differential amino acid metabolites were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways such as aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, arginine biosynthesis and metabolism, and ABC transporters. Conclusions:ABC transporter, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, and arginine biosynthesis metabolic pathways in OIR mice may participate in the pathological changes of renal injury and neovascularization in retinopathy of prematurity.
