OBJECTIVE To investigate the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of eleutheroside B (ELB) on Parkinson’s disease (PD) model mice by regulating the IκB kinase β (IKKβ)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. METHODS Fifty mice were randomly divided into normal control group, model group, positive control group (selegiline hydrochloride, 10 mg/kg), and ELB low-dose and high-dose groups (80, 160 mg/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Each group was given relevant medicine or normal saline intragastrically for 14 consecutive days. Starting from the 10th day of administration, the model group and all administration groups were intraperitoneally injected with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) 30 mg/kg, for five consecutive days to establish the chronic PD model. After the last administration for 24 h, six mice were randomly selected from each group to test their behavioral abilities; detect the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in brain tissue and their mRNA expressions were measured, and positive expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), protein expressions of TH, α -synuclein ( α -syn), ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba-1), as well as phosphorylation levels of IKKβ and NF-κB p65 proteins in the brain tissue were detected. The ultrastructure of neurons in substantia nigra was observed. RESULTS Compared with the model group, rotarod endurance time and climbing score of each administration group (except for the ELB low-dose group) were increased significantly ( P <0.05), while the levels and mRNA expressions of IL-1β, TNF-α, α -syn, and Iba-1, as well as phosphorylation levels of IKKβ and NF-κB p65 proteins in brain tissue were decreased significantly (except for TNF-α in the ELB low-dose group). Conversely, the level and mRNA expression of IL-10 (except for the ELB low-dose group), TH positive expression and protein expressions were significantly increased ( P <0.05). Typical neurodegenerative pathological changes, such as neuronal karyopyknosis, mitochondrial swelling and vacuolization, and endoplasmic reticulum dilation, all showed varying degrees of improvement. CONCLUSIONS ELB may exert neuroprotective effects by inhibiting the activation of the IKKβ/NF-κB signaling pathway, alleviating inflammatory responses, reducing abnormal α -syn aggregation and neuronal loss, and further improving motor dysfunction in PD mice.

Objective:To investigate the pathogen distribution characteristics and related risk factors for postoperative infection in liver transplant recipients.Method:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 153 recipients who underwent liver transplantation and received postoperative treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023. According to whether postoperative infection occurred, the recipients were divided into the infection group (33 cases) and the non-infection group (120 cases). Pathogen-related data were collected from multiple postoperative body fluid sites of liver transplant recipients. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to identify independent risk factors.Result:Among the 153 recipients, 105 were male and 48 were female, with a mean age of (52.2 ± 9.5) years. During the ICU stay after liver transplantation, 33 recipients developed infections, including 15 cases of single-pathogen infection and 18 cases of mixed-pathogen infection. The most common site of infection was the lung, accounting for 22 cases (66.67%). Eleven recipients (33.33%) in the infection group died, with septic shock being the leading cause of death (7 cases, 63.63%), and the median survival time was 14 days. Infected recipients had Gram-negative bacteria (171 strains), mainly Stenotrophomonas maltophilia[54 strains (31.57%)] and Pseudomonas aeruginosa[52 strains (30.41%)]. Gram-positive bacteria (47 strains) were dominated by Enterococcus faecalis[25 strains (53.19%)]. Multivariate regression analysis showed that postoperative mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours was an independent risk factor for infection in liver transplant recipients ( OR=10.878, 95% CI: 3.632-32.580, P<0.001). Conclusion:It is necessary to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia in liver transplant recipients. Early removal of the tracheal tube and strengthening hospital infection prevention and control are of great significance in reducing the risk of postoperative infection in liver transplant recipients.

Objective To investigate the changing antibiotic resistance profiles of E.coli isolated from patients in the 52 hospitals participating in the CHINET program from 2015 to 2021.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested for clinical isolates of E.coli according to the unified protocol of CHINET program.WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 20.0 software were used for data analysis.Results Atotal of 289 760 nonduplicate clinical strains ofE.coli were isolated from 2015 to 2021,mainly from urine samples(44.7±3.2)%.The proportion of E.coli strains isolated from urine samples was higher in females than in males(59.0%vs 29.5%).The proportion of E.coli strains isolated from respiratory tract and cerebrospinal fluid samples was significantly higher in children than in adults(16.7%vs 7.8%,0.8%vs 0.1%,both P<0.05).The isolates from internal medicine department accounted for the largest proportion(28.9±2.8)%with an increasing trend over years.Overall,the prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli and carbapenem resistant E.coli(CREco)was 55.9%and 1.8%,respectively during the 7-year period.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli was the highest in tertiary hospitals each year from 2015 to 2021 compared to secondary hospitals.The prevalence of CREco was higher in children's hospitals compared to secondary and tertiary hospitals each year from 2015 to 2021.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli in tertiary hospitals and children's hospitals and the prevalence of CREco in children's hospitals showed a decreasing trend over the 7-year period.The prevalence of CREco in secondary and tertiary hospitals increased slowly.Antibiotic resistance rates changed slowly from 2015 to 2021.Carbapenem drugs(imipenem,meropenem)were the most active drugs amongβ-lactams against E.coli(resistance rate≤2.1%).The resistance rates of E.coli to β-lactam/β-lactam inhibitor combinations(piperacillin-tazobactam,cefoperazone-sulbactam),aminoglycosides(amikacin),nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin(for urinary isolates only)were all less than 10%.The resistance rate of E.coli strains to antibiotics varied with the level of hospitals and the departments where the strains were isolated,especially for cefazolin and ciprofloxacin,to which the resistance rate of E.coli strains from children in non-ICU departments was significantly lower than that of the strains isolated from other departments(P<0.05).The E.coli isolates from ICU showed higher resistance rate to most antimicrobial agents tested(excluding tigecycline)than the strains isolated from other departments.The E.coli strains isolated from tertiary hospitals showed higher resistance rates to the antimicrobial agents tested(excluding tigecycline,polymyxin B,cefepime and carbapenems)than the strains from secondary hospitals and children's hospitals.Conclusions E.coli is an important pathogen causing clinical infection.More than half of the clinical isolates produced ESBL.The prevalence of CREco is increasing in secondary and tertiary hospitals over the 7-year period even though the overall prevalence is still low.This is an issue of concern.

Transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery(TIPIC)syndrome is a relatively rare disease,and ultrasound is the first screening method for initial diagnosis of the disease.Contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)has unique advantages in the follow-up of patients with TIPIC syndrome.This paper reports a patient with TIPIC syndrome who was treated with acute left neck pain.The inflammation was significantly re-lieved and subsided after treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.The ultrasound changes of carotid artery lesions in this patient during follow-up were analyzed,and the application value of CEUS in the follow-up diagnosis of this disease was summarized,in the hope of providing clinical reference.

Objective:To analyze the factors influencing postoperative complications and survival in patients undergoing hepatectomy for primary liver cancer (PLC).Methods:Two hundred and eighty-eight patients with PLC who underwent hepatectomy at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from April 2018 to December 2020 were prospectively enrolled, including 235 males and 53 females, aged (58.5±9.5) years. Nutritional evaluations included the nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS-2002), patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA), and physical metrics such as body mass index, handgrip strength, arm circumference, mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC), and triceps skinfold thickness (TSF). Based on the occurrence of postoperative complications during hospitalization including abdominal infection, bleeding, bile leakage, intra-abdominal fluid accumulation, pulmonary infection, intestinal fistula, and wound dehiscence, patients were divided into two groups: the complication group ( n=205) and the non-complication group ( n=83). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors related to postoperative complications, while Cox proportional hazards regression was used to evaluate the impact of various variables on postoperative survival. Survival analysis was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences in survival rates were compared using the log-rank test. Results:Compared with the non-complication group, patients in the complication group had a significantly longer postoperative hospital stay [13(8, 16) d vs. 7(5, 9) d], higher proportions of low MAMC [34.1% (24/83) vs. 20.0% (41/205)], lower grip strength [28.9% (24/83) vs. 17.6% (36/205)], higher incidence of intraoperative blood loss ≥200 ml [44.6% (37/83) vs. 22.0% (45/205)], and greater proportion of resection involving ≥3 liver segments [45.8% (38/83) vs. 26.3% (54/205)] (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the low MAMC ( OR=2.01, 95% CI: 1.09-3.71, P=0.025), intraoperative blood loss ≥200 ml ( OR=2.75, 95% CI: 1.55-4.90, P=0.001), and resection involving ≥3 liver segments ( OR=2.02, 95% CI: 1.15-3.55, P=0.015) as independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients undergoing hepatectomy for PLC. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that low TSF ( HR=1.94, 95% CI: 1.01-3.72, P=0.047), low handgrip strength ( HR=2.23, 95% CI: 1.29-3.88, P=0.004), and resection involving ≥3 liver segments ( HR=1.96, 95% CI: 1.15-3.36, P=0.014) were risk factors associated with poor survival after surgery. Conclusions:Low MAMC, intraoperative blood loss ≥200 ml, and resection involving ≥3 liver segments are risk factors for postoperative complications in patients undergoing hepatectomy for PLC, while low TSF, reduced handgrip strength, and resection involving ≥3 liver segments are predictors of poor postoperative survival.
