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.

OBJECTIVE: To explore serological detection and blood transfusion strategies of mimicking antibodies, so as to provide appropriate transfusion strategies. METHODS: Detailed serological tests, including ABO blood group, Rh typing, antibody specificity, etc,were performed on two patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia(AIHA). Meanwhile, the references about blood transfusion from mimicking antibody patients published from 1977 to 2024 in China and abroad were retrospectively summarized and analyzed. RESULTS: The patient 1 blood type was AB,CCDee and the antibody is mimicking anti-e, transfusion the e-negative red blood cells (RBCs) was effective. After two transfusions of e-RBCs, hemoglobin levels significantly increased from 48 g/L to 91 g/L, with complete resolution of hemolytic symptoms. The patient 2 blood type was O,CcDee, and the antibody was mimicking anti-c, the patient was diagnosed with AIHA and treated with hormone. No blood products were transfused during hospitalization, and his hemolysis was relieved. CONCLUSION Strictly grasping the indication of blood transfusion, blood transfusion should not be performed in the unnecessary conditions, and the corresponding antigen-negative RBC should be screened for transfusion in the necessay conditions.

In this study, the CHO_INSR_1284 transgenic cell line was employed as the target cell, utilizing homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence technology to establish a method for detecting the biological activity of insulin degludec. Key parameters were optimized, and validation was conducted in accordance with general principles 9401 and 1431 of the fourth section of the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Results indicated a good dose-response relationship for insulin degludec in this method, aligning with a four-parameter curve. Following optimization, the cell seeding density was set at 3.5×10⁵ cell·mL^-1, the initial concentration of insulin degludec at 57.18 μg·mL^-1, with a four-fold dilution, a stimulation period of 45 minutes, and an incubation duration of 4 hours. This method demonstrated strong specificity, with the geometric variation coefficient (GCV%) for the five potency levels ranging from 4.1% to 10.6%. The linear regression equation from the linear fitting was y = 1.015x - 0.027 7, and R² = 0.999 6. The results confirmed the method's good intermediate precision and linearity. The regression term was highly significant (P < 0.01), neither the deviation from parallel terms nor the model mismatch terms were significant (P ≥ 0.05), complying with general rule 1431 of the fourth section of the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. This study established a method for detecting the biological activity of insulin degludec using homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence technology, suitable for evaluating the biological activity and quality control of insulin degludec products.

This study investigated the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi,Anaplasma phagocy tophilum,Rickettsia typhi,Orientia tsutsugamushi,Leptospira interrogans,Francisella tularensis,and Babesia spp.in small mammals in the Qinghai plateau region,to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of local zoonotic diseases.Small mammals were cap-tured with snap traps at six sampling sites in the Qinghai plateau region.Liver,spleen,and kidney tissues were collected for detection of six bacterial pathogens with real-time PCR.Conventional PCR(cPCR)was used for Babesia detection,and the positive PCR products were sequenced and analyzed.The differences in pathogen detection rates among species and habitats were analyzed with x2 test or Fisher's exact test.In to-tal,235 small mammals from 15 species were captured.B.burgdorferi,L.interrogans,and Babesia were detected in 11 spe-cies of small mammals,whereas A.phagocytophilum,R.typhi,O.tsutsugamushi,and F.tularensis were not detected.B.burgdorferi was detected in 41 small mammals from nine species(Cricetulus longicaudatus,Apodemus peninsulae,Ochotona curzoniae,Mus m usc ulus,Meriones meridians,Microtus arvalis,Cricetidae,Ochotona cansus,and Allactaga sibirica),with an infection rate of 17.45％(41/235).L.interrogans was detected in eight small mammals from four species(C.longicaudatus,M.musculus,M.arvalis,and Microtus oeconomus),with an infection rate of 3.40％(8/235).Babesia was detected in only one Mustela altaica,with an infection rate of 0.85％(1/235).Statistically significant differences were ob-served in the detection rates of pathogens among small mammal species(x2=200.54,P＜0.05).Among habitats,the detection rate of B.burgdorferi was highest in the forest(Fisher's exact test,P＜0.05).B.burgdorferi and L.interrogans co-infection was observed in three M.arvalis and two C.longicaudatus.In addition,one Babesia sequence was obtained,which clustered with Babesia vulpes in the phylogenetic tree.B.burgdorferi,L.interrogans,and Babesia were the main pathogens prevalent in small mammals in the Qinghai plateau region and have potential to cause human diseases.Local authori-ties should strengthen the surveillance of corresponding zoonotic diseases,and formulate corresponding prevention and control measures.

Aim To explore the effect of curcumin on the growth of malignant glioma and the possible mecha-nism.Methods Human glioblastoma cell U87 was taken as the study object.They were randomly separa-ted into the blank control group(without any interven-tion)and low,medium and high curcumin group(10,20 and 40 μmol·L-1),temozolomide group(40μmol·L-1),curcumin 40 μmol·L-1+LY210976110 μmol·L-1,curcumin 40 μmol·L-1+SRI-011381 10 μmol·L-1,then they were intervened for 48 h.The activity,migration and invasion ability of U87 cells in each group were measured by CCK-8 method and Transwell method.The cell cycle changes of U87 cells were measured by flow cytometry.The ex-pression levels of TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway in U87 cells were measured by Western blotting.Results After 48 h intervention,the percentage of U87 cell activity,cell migration and invasion number in curcu-min group and temozolomide group were lower than those in the blank control group(P＜0.05),and all decreased with the increase of curcumin dose(P＜0.05).Compared with the blank control group,the number of cells increased in Sub-G0 stage in the curcu-min group and temozolomide group(P＜0.05),and decreased in G2/M stage(P＜0.05).The protein rel-ative expression levels of TGF-β1,p-Smad 3,N-cad-herin,matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in U87 cells in high curcumin group and temozolomide group were lower than those in the blank control group(P＜0.05),and the protein relative expression levels of Smad 7 and E-cadherin were higher than those in the blank control group(P＜0.05).There was no statisti-cally significant difference between the high curcumin group and temozolomide group(P＞0.05).Compared with the high curcumin group,inhibition of TGF-β1/Smad pathway could further inhibit the activity,migra-tion and invasion of U87 cells,reduce the relative ex-pression levels of TGF-β1,P-Smad 3,MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins(P＜0.05),and increase the relative expression levels of Smad 7 and E-cadherin protein(P＜0.05),while the TGF-β1/Smad pathway activator was vice versa(P＜0.05).Conclusions Curcumin can inhibit the growth of malignant glioma U87 cells,and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway.

Purpose To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)in the differential diagnosis of gallbladder polypoid lesions(GPLs)(diameter≥10 mm).Materials and Methods A prospective enrollment of 229 patients with GPLs who underwent cholecystectomy in 17 hospitals from December 1 2021 to June 30 2024 was conducted to analyze the relationship between general data,conventional ultrasound,CEUS characteristics and the nature of GPLs.Multivariate Logistic regression was employed to identify independent risk factors for neoplastic polyps,the differential diagnostic value of different indicators was compared.Results Among 229 patients with GPLs,there were 108 cases of cholesterol polyps,102 cases of adenoma and 19 cases of gallbladder cancer.Age(Z=-4.476,P<0.001),polyp number(χ2=15.561,P<0.001),diameter(Z=-8.149,P<0.001),echogenicity(χ2=9.241,P=0.010),vascularity(χ2=23.107,P<0.001),enhancement intensity(χ2=47.610,P<0.001),enhancement pattern(χ2=6.468,P=0.011),vascular type(χ2=84.470,P<0.001),integrity of gallbladder wall(χ2=7.662,P=0.006)and stalk width(Z=-9.831,P<0.001)between cholesterol polyps and neoplastic polyps were statistically significant.Age,location,diameter,echogenicity,enhancement pattern,vascular type and stalk width between adenoma and gallbladder cancer were statistically significant(Z=-4.333,-3.902,-5.042,all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hyper-enhancement,branched vascular type and stalk width were independent risk factors for neoplastic polyps(OR=4.563,5.770,3.075,all P<0.001).The combination of independent risk factors was better than single factor and diameter in the differential diagnosis of cholesterol polyps and neoplastic polyps(all P<0.01).Conclusion CEUS can effectively identify the nature of GPLs and provide a valuable imaging reference for the selection of treatment methods.

An online sample decomposition and detection method for high-throughput determination of Se content in organic samples was established based on oxygen combustion combined with hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry.The sole product of Se in oxygen combustion,SeO2,was quantitatively captured on the walls of the combustion flask in an open system.It was then eluted online and reacted in situ with 10％(V/V)HC1 carrier solution and 2％(m/V)NaBH4 reductant solution within the combustion flask.After optimization,for a maximum sample processing amount of 0.2 g,the sample analysis throughput was 20 sample/h.The detection limit(LOD,3SD)for Se reached 0.012 mg/kg,and the relative standard deviations for parallel determinations(RSDs,n=6)was 1.7％.The analytical results of certified reference materials,scallop(GBW10024)and chicken(GBW10018),were consistent with the certified values,and the analytical results of real samples were in good agreement with those obtained by traditional wet digestion.

Objective To observe the multi-system toxicity of Tripterygium glycosides tablets in rats with type Ⅱ collagen-induced arthritis(CIA).Methods Healthy SD rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group and experimental group,with 10 rats in each group.In addition to the normal group,the other groups were established collagen-induced arthritis model.After the first immunization,the normal group and the model group were given an equal volume of 0.3％sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution,and the experimental group was given 72 mg·kg-1·d-1 Tripterygium glycosides solution,once a day for 6 weeks.On the 42 nd day,the blood routine of each group was detected and the organ index was calculated.The levels of liver,kidney function and sex hormones in rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The histopathological changes of liver,kidney,ovary and testis were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Results The testicular indexes of the normal group,the model group and the experimental group were(0.81±0.05)％,(0.97±0.06)％and(0.81±0.12)％;the estradiol contents were(63.90±16.19),(55.42±7.23)and(40.04±5.97)pg·mL-1;the testosterone contents were(1 290.96±257.94),(1 198.43±190.77)and(912.62±61.72)pg·mL-1,respectively.There were statistically significant differences in the above indexes between the model group and the experimental group(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).HE pathological results showed that Tripterygium glycosides tablets could cause abnormal histopathological changes of ovary and testis in CIA model rats.Conclusion Continuous administration of 8-fold clinical equivalent dose of Tripterygium glycosides tablets for 6 weeks can cause damage to the reproductive system of CIA rats.
