Translational medicine is a subject on translating basic research results to clinical applications and pathophysiology is a bridge course combining basic and clinical medicine.Results were good by applying concept of translational medicine in pathophysiology teaching and detailed measures included carrying out case analyses,adding clinical pathophysiology course,developing comprehensive experiments and opening laboratories,etc.

AIM:To evaluate the effect of curcumin on impaired learning-memory ability and the expression of high mobility group box protein 1 ( HMGB1 ) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase ( JNK ) in a rat model of Alzheimer disease (AD).METHODS:Male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 250~270 g, were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=9):blank control group (group A), model group (group B), curcumin treatment group (group C, curcumin injected intraper-itoneally at 100 mg· kg-1· d-1 for 6 consecutive days) and solvent control group (group D).The rats of AD model were induced by injection of ibotenic acid into the nucleus basalis of Meynert ( NBM) bilaterally.All rats were trained in Morris maze to assess the ability of learning and memory .The expression of HMGB1 and JNK in the hippocampus was detected by the methods of immunohistochemistry and Western blotting .RESULTS:Compared with group A , the average escape laten-cy (AEL) in groups B and D were obviously longer (P<0.05), while AEL in group C in the 5th and 6th days were signif-icantly shorter (P<0.05).The releases of HMGB1 in the CA1 and CA3 areas in groups B and D from the nucleus were a-bundant.Compared with groups B and D , HMGB1 in hippocampal CA1 and CA3 areas in group C secreted out of the nu-cleus decreased obviously (P<0.05).No significant difference of the release of HMGB1 between group A and group C was observed (P>0.05).No significant difference in the expression of HMGB1 in the hippocampus among the 4 groups was found (P>0.05).However, compared with groups B and D , the expression of JNK in group C was decreased obvi-ously (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Curcumin significantly improves the learning and memory ability of AD rats .The probable mechanisms may be related to inhibiting the release of HMGB 1 from the nucleus of hippocampal neurons and de-creasing the expression of JNK in the hippocampus .

Objective To improve the diagnostic accuracy of primary renal rare benign tumors by exploring and analyzing the CT/MRI and clinical pathologic features.Methods 9 patients with primary renal rare benign tumors pathologically proven lesions after operation who had CT or MRI exams with contrast were enrolled in our hospital.The radiological and clinical pathological features of all tumors were analyzed respectively.Results The cases were the mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of kidney (MESTK),cystic nephroma(CN),renal leiomyoma(RL)and renal oncocytoma(RO)respectively.Location:6 cases were in left kidney and 3 in right kidney.Size:long diameter 2.5-8.9 cm,mean 5.7 cm;short diameter 2.5-8.4 cm,mean 4.9 cm.The tumor shape included oval(n=7) and irregular(n=2).9 cases protruded from the renal surface.MESTK showed polycystic lesions on preconstrast,various degrees of cystic wall and septum enhancement were detected on enhancement scans.CN showed cystic lesions and calcification on preconstrast, slight septum enhancement were detected on enhancement scans.RL showed heterogeneous density or signal with patchy necrosis and clear border on precontrast,the obvious enhancement was found on cortex and medullary phase and slight washout enhancement was detected on excretory phase.RO showed heterogeneous hypointense on T1 WI,hyperintense on T2 WI and mixed isodensity and hypodensity on CT precontrast.Slight delayed enhancement was found in central scar and washout enhancement was detected in parenchyma on three phases.Conclusion There are some special CT/MRI characteristics for primary renal rare benign tumors,which could improve their diagnosis and differential diagnosis combined with the clinical pathological features.

Objective:To investigate the factors and mechanisms in forming uric acid stones in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Methods:106 patients with diabetes were divided into observation group and control group according to the combination of urinary calculi,53 cases in each group,The differences of clinical data and biochemical indexes between the two groups were compared,The relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus and urinary stones was analyzed by multi factor regression analysis.Results:There were no significant difference in observation group and control group in age,sex,SBP,DBP,TC,FBG,2hPBG and HbA1C (P＞0.05),and there were of statistical difference significance in BMI,urinary pH,HOMA-IR,SUA,TUA in the two gruops (P ＜0.05) and the Logistic regression analysis showed blood uric acid,the urinary pH,HOMA-IR,SUA were independent risk factors in urolithiasis in T2DM (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:High uric acid hematic disease,high uric acid excretion,insulin resistance,overweight or obesity,high blood triglycerides in patients with type 2 diabetes is risk factors for urinary stone formation,in which blood uric acid,urinary pH,HOMA-IR is the independent risk factor for type 2 diabetic patients with urinary calculi.

Objective:To explore the effect of minimally invasive hematoma puncture and drainage in the treatment of elderly patients with cerebral hemorrhage by using 3D slicer and Sina software to conduct 3D reconstruction and preoperative localization of intracerebral hematoma.Methods:A total of 74 elderly patients with a first-onset intracerebral hematoma aged ≥75 years, having surgical indications and stable vital signs were grouped into 3D slicer plus Sina software localization group(as group A, n=40)or CT localization group(as group B, n=34). Based on the localization, hematoma puncture and drainage were performed after local anesthesia.Preoperative preparation time, hematoma location, puncture success rate, postoperative hematoma clearance rate, postoperative re-bleeding rate and GCS score were statistically analyzed.Glasgow coma scale(GCS)scores were used in predicting the mortality.Results:The preoperative preparation time was significantly shorter in group A than in group B[(5.5±3.4)min vs.(8.5±2.7)min, t=3.337, P=0.001]. The success rate of hematoma puncture and drainage(90.0% and 70.6%, χ2=4.51, P=0.034)and postoperative hematoma clearance rate[(87.5±3.4)% and(80.3±2.7)%, t=10.10, P=0.000]were higher in group A than in group B. There were no significant differences in operative time, the accuracy of hematoma localization, re-bleeding rate and GCS score between the two groups( P>0.05). Conclusions:3D slicer plus Sina software can precisely locate the intracerebral hematoma, and minimally invasive hematoma puncture and drainage of intracerebral hematoma under local anesthesia were safe and effective in the treatment of elderly patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

To investigate the genomic features and perform cluster analysis of Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) to provide an experimental basis for guiding the prevention and treatment of CRKP infections.A retrospective case-cohort study was conducted on 19 non-redundant CRKP strains isolated from the Tenth Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University between January and June 2023. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) were performed to compare genomic features and analyze the resistance genes and homology of the strains.The results showed that the 19 CRKP strains were isolated from 8 different clinical departments, mainly from respiratory specimens. The whole genome sequencing revealed that the genomic lengths of CRKP ranged from 4.90 to 5.85 Mbp, with contigs N50 values>20 kb for each genome. The median overall GC content was 57.0% (50.4%-57.1%). Comparative genomic analysis identified three regions with high genomic variability. WGS detected 32 resistance genes across 11 categories. All 19 strains carried carbapenem resistance genes ( blaKPC-2 and blaOXA-48), blaTEM-1B extended-spectrum β-lactamase resistance genes, qnrS1 quinolone resistance gene, and fosA fosfomycin resistance gene, with each strain carrying only one carbapenemase gene. The detection rate of blaKPC-2 was 94.7% (18/19). MLST identified three sequence types: ST11, ST437 and ST147, with ST11 being predominant (89.5%, 17/19). Clustering analysis based on acquired resistance genes revealed three clonal transmission patterns among strains 72 and 90, and strains 88, 84, 66 and 79.In conclusion, CRKP strains carry multiple resistance genes, and clustering analysis indicating that nosocomial clonal transmission is closely related to acquired resistance genes. The ST11- blaKPC-2 type strain is the predominant clone. Strengthened surveillance and effective control strategies are necessary to reduce nosocomial transmission of CRKP.
