BACKGROUND:During diabetic wound healing,the sustained activation of M1 macrophages exacerbates the inflammatory response and hinders wound repair.Auranofin,an anti-inflammatory drug,has not been clearly studied for its effects on M1 macrophages and its potential role in diabetic wound healing.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of different concentrations of auranofin on the biological function of M1 macrophages and evaluate its potential application in diabetic wound healing.METHODS:RAW264.7 and THP-1 cells were used as research models.M1 polarization was induced using different concentrations of interferon-γ and lipopolysaccharide.M1 macrophages were treated with 1 and 2 μmol/L auranofin.Cell counting kit-8 assay was used to evaluate the effect of auranofin on cell viability.Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to detect mRNA expression of interleukin-1β,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α.ELISA was employed to measure the levels of interleukin-1β,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α in the supernatant.Western blot analysis was used to assess the expression of nuclear factor-κB(p65),phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPK),and total MAPK proteins.Additionally,6-8-week-old male C57BL/6J and db/db diabetic mice were used for wound healing experiments,with the mice divided into C57 control,db/db control and auranofin treatment groups,each containing six animals.Dorsal skin defect modeling and treatment with intraperitoneal injection of auranofin were performed to observe wound healing in mice.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Cell experiments showed that co-treatment with interferon-y(10 ng/mL)and lipopolysaccharide(100 ng/mL)significantly induced M1 polarization in RAW264.7 and THP-1 cells,resulting in increased mRNA expression of interleukin-1β,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α.Treatment with auranofin(1 and 2 μmol/L)reduced the mRNA expression of these inflammatory factors in the cells and inhibited the secretion of inflammatory factors in the cell supernatant.(2)Auranofin treatment significantly suppressed the activation of nuclear factor-κB(p65)and phosphorylated MAPK signaling pathways.(3)Animal experiments showed that auranofin promoted wound healing in db/db diabetic mice,suggesting that auranofin has strong anti-inflammatory effects and may facilitate the healing of wounds in diabetic mice.

Objective:To retrieve, evaluate, and integrate the best practice evidence for targeted temperature management in neurocritically ill patients.Methods:PIPOST tool was used to identify evidence-based issues; the Chinese and English terms were chosen as "Traumatic brain injuries", "Craniocerebral trauma/Cerebral hemorrhage/Stroke/Subarachnoid hemorrhage/Cerebral vascular disease", and "Mild hypothermia therapy/Target body temperature/Cyotherapy". According to top-down design of the "6S" evidence model, databases such as French guideline network, US guideline network, UpToDate, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China Yimaitong Guide network, CNKI, and Wanfang Medical Network were searched. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the included literature, and extracted and summarized the evidences of the literature that met the quality standards.Results:A total of 10 articles were included, including 1 clinical decision, 4 guidelines, 1 evidence summary, and 4 expert consensuses. Finally, 27 pieces of best evidences were summarized, including 6 aspects as evaluation, preparation before implementation, targeted body temperature selection, intervention duration, chill management, and other complication prevention.Conclusion:Best evidence for temperature management in neurocritically ill patients can provide evidence-based evidence for healthcare professionals.

Objective To investigate surgical indications,techniques and effects for intraeranial arachnoid cyst in children. Methods Clinical data from 82 surgical cases were analyzed retrospectively,and different methods of operation were analyzed comparatively.Four operation-methods were adopted,in which cyst removal were performed in 19,cyst removal plus cisternal opening in 23,cyst-peritoneal shunt in 28,and cyst-peritoneal drainage in 16.Results Upon following up from six months to five years after operation,the chief symptoms got improved in 89.0% of the patients,and CT or MRI scan showed that the size of cvst became smaller in 72 of the patients.Four operation methods were compared,cyst removal was not better than the other three operation methods.Conclusions The treatment of operation methods could make the svmptoms improved and the cyst thrunk of intracranial arachnoid cyst in children.The operation of cyst removal plus cisternal opening or cyst-peritoneal shunt and cyst-peritoneal drainage is preferred.
