Objective: To characterize perioperative dynamic changes in immune-cell phenotypes and inflammatory cytokines in patients undergoing CPB (cardiopulmonary bypass) cardiac surgery, and to explore their associations with postoperative outcomes. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 120 adult patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery under CPB at West China Hospital from May 2022 to March 2023 were enrolled. Perioperative immune-cell phenotypes and concentrations of 40 inflammation-related cytokines were measured. The primary outcomes were the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score at 24 h after surgery and ΔSOFA (the peak SOFA score within 48 h after surgery minus the preoperative SOFA score). Secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), acute kidney injury (AKI), respiratory failure, severe liver injury, and infection. Results: The mean age of enrolled patients was 57±10 years. Of these, 52% (62/120) were male and 90% (108/120) underwent valve surgery. During the rewarming to the end of CPB, neutrophil counts rapidly increased (7.39×10 /L vs preoperative 3.07×10 /L, P<0.001), with significant upregulation of CD11b (7.30×10 /L vs preoperative 3.05×10 /L, P<0.001) and CD54 (7.15×10 /L vs preoperative 2.99×10 /L, P<0.001). Lymphocyte counts increased at the end of CPB (1.75×10 /L vs preoperative 1.12×10 /L, P<0.001) but decreased significantly at 24 h after surgery (0.59×10 /L vs preoperative 1.12×10 /L, P<0.001). Plasma analysis showed that multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines increased during CPB and remained elevated up to 24 h after surgery; five chemokines and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 peaked at the end of CPB. The SOFA score increased from 1 (1, 2) preoperatively to 7 (5, 10) at 24 h after surgery, with a ΔSOFA of 6 (4, 8). Within 30 days after surgery, 48 patients (40.0%) developed AKI, 17 (14.2%) developed infection, 4 (3.3%) developed severe liver injury, 3 (2.5%) developed respiratory failure, and 3 (2.5%) experienced MACE. During the 2-year follow-up, 8 patients (6.7%) experienced MACE and 5 (4.2%) died. Conclusion: Multi-organ dysfunction is common after cardiac surgery under CPB (median ΔSOFA, 6), accompanied by perioperative activation of multiple immune-cell subsets and upregulation of pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, and chemotactic mediators. This study provides data-driven evidence and research clues for further investigation of the associations between CPB-related immune perturbations and postoperative organ dysfunction and clinical outcomes.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether Huanglian Jiedutang can inhibit neutrophil infiltration in the brains of middle cerebral artery occlusion （MCAO） mice by regulating the expression of neutrophil-related chemokines in exosomes， thereby achieving therapeutic effects. MethodsA total of 130 male specific pathogen-free （SPF） C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups： Sham-operated group， MCAO model group， Huanglian Jiedutang group （6 g·kg^-1）， and Ginaton group （21.6 mg·kg^-1）， with 10 mice in the Ginaton group and 40 mice in each of the remaining three groups. Mice in the Huanglian Jiedutang group and the Ginaton group were administered the corresponding drugs by oral gavage once daily at a volume of 0.15 mL·（10 g）^-1 for 7 consecutive days， while the sham-operated and model groups received an equal volume of saline via the same route. After 7 days， MCAO surgery was performed. The distal and proximal ends of the right common carotid artery （CCA） were ligated， a small incision was made between the two ligatures， and a silicone rubber-coated monofilament with a rounded tip was inserted into the lumen to occlude the CCA. The filament was left in place for 1 h to establish a focal cerebral ischemia model. At 24 h after modeling， mice were evaluated. Neurological function was assessed using the Longa score. Cerebral infarct volume was measured by 2，3，5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining. Cerebral blood flow was observed by laser speckle imaging. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining and Nissl staining were used to observe pathological changes in brain tissues. Exosomes were isolated from mouse plasma and brain tissues by ultracentrifugation and molecular size exclusion and identified by electron microscopy， particle size analysis， and protein blotting. Long-chain RNA libraries of exosomes were constructed and sequenced. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of inflammatory factors and neutrophil-related chemokines in exosomes from plasma and brain tissues of each group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect the protein expression of inflammatory factors and neutrophil-related chemokines in exosomes from brain tissues of each group. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of the neutrophil-specific protein myeloperoxidase （MPO） in the brains of mice in each group. ResultsCompared with the sham-operated group， the model group showed decreased neurological function scores （P<0.01）， obvious cerebral infarction （P<0.01）， reduced cerebral blood flow （P<0.01）， neuronal necrosis in the brain， and decreased numbers of Nissl bodies （P<0.01）. The mRNA expression levels of IL-1β， MPO， CXCL1， CXCL2， CXCL3， CXCL10， CCL2， and CCL3 in exosomes from plasma and brain tissues were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the predictive value of epicardial adipose tissue （EAT） parameters for microvascular obstruction （MVO） formation in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction （STEMI） using cardiac magnetic resonance quantification. MethodsA total of 139 STEMI patients were included in this study， and various parameters such as EAT thickness， volume， and mass index were measured utilizing cardiac magnetic resonance. All included patients were divided into MVO group and non-MVO group according to whether MVO occurred. Differences in EAT related parameters between two groups were compared and correlation analysis was applied to evaluate the correlation between quantitative indicators of EAT and indicators such as infarct size and ejection fraction. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the relevant risk factors for MVO formation. Receiver Operating Characteristic （ROC） curve analysis was performed to assess the predictive value of the epicardial adipose tissue （EAT） quality index and other indicators for the occurrence of MVO. ResultsCompared with non MVO group， patients in MVO group presented with higher peak troponin T levels， increase of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio （NLR） and C-reactive protein （CRP）， larger infarct size and compromised left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） （P<0.05）. Total EAT volume， EAT mass index， left atrioventricular EAT volume， left atrioventricular EAT mass index and thickness of EAT in the left atrioventricular groove were significantly higher in patients with MVO. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that NLR， peak troponin T levels and left atrioventricular EAT mass index were independent predictors of MVO. The ROC curve suggested that the left atrioventricular EAT mass index had the highest predictive power for MVO formation in STEMI patients. ConclusionThe parameters of EAT quantified by cardiac magnetic resonance serve as imaging biomarkers for predicting MVO formation in STEMI patients. These metrics enable risk stratification post-myocardial infarction and facilitate early identification of high-risk individuals， thereby supporting personalized therapeutic decision-making.

ObjectiveAs a common lifestyle habit, alcohol consumption has a controversial association with the onset of Parkinson’s disease (PD). To demonstrate the correlation between alcohol consumption and PD and to identify associated genes, we integrated findings from clinical surveys, genomics, transcriptomics, and animal experiments. MethodsWe investigated the alcohol consumption rates (including both before and after disease onset) among 244 PD patients in China and 177 PD patients from the U.S. NHANES database. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed using genome-wide association study (GWAS) data for three alcohol-related traits and seven PD-related datasets from the MRC IEU OpenGWAS database. Transcriptomic data from the substantia nigra of PD patients were obtained from three GEO datasets (GSE7621, GSE20141, and GSE49036) to analyze RIT2 gene transcription. Finally, three groups of animal experiments (water/20% ethanol/20% liquor, with 4 C57BL/6J mice per group) were conducted to examine changes in brain RIT2 gene expression and transcriptomic profiles following alcohol consumption. ResultsThe alcohol consumption rates among PD patients in China and the U.S. (9%-18.87%) were significantly lower than the general population rates of 15%-45% in their respective regions (P<0.001), suggesting a possible negative association between alcohol consumption and PD. Subsequently, in 21 bidirectional MR analyses using 3 alcohol-related GWAS datasets and 7 PD-related GWAS datasets, the forward MR analyses (alcohol intake as exposure, PD as outcome) yielded 12 negative associations (OR_IVW<1) and 9 positive associations (OR_IVW>1). Among these, only two negative associations reached statistical significance: alcohol intake frequency (OR_IVW=0.75, 95% CI: 0.60-0.93, P=0.010) and alcohol consumption (OR_IVW=0.20, 95% CI: 0.05-0.83, P=0.026). The forward MR analysis (alcohol intake→PD) identified 235 SNPs, annotated to 316 genes, while the reverse MR analyses (PD→alcohol intake) identified 37 SNPs, annotated to 53 genes. Notably, only the RIT2 gene appeared in both the forward and reverse MR analyses (alcohol intake→PD: rs28597806, rs8083110; PD→alcohol intake: rs4588066). RIT2 is selectively expressed in the human brain (FPKM: 5.259±2.103), with low or no expression in peripheral tissues (FPKM: <1). Analysis of three human substantia nigra transcriptomic datasets revealed a decreasing trend in RIT2 gene expression in PD patients (GSE20141 array signal: 3.49±1.23 vs. 2.33±0.87, P=0.044). Animal experiments demonstrated that administration of 20% ethanol or 20% liquor (approximately 8% ethanol) stimulated a >2-fold upregulation of RIT2 gene expression in the mouse brain. Furthermore, transcriptomic sequencing revealed that the two alcohol-treated groups exhibited 96 (20% ethanol vs. water control) and 4 (20% liquor vs. water control) differentially expressed genes, respectively, indicating that low-dose alcohol consumption can achieve RIT2 upregulation while minimizing impact on other brain genes. In addition to its anti-infective effects, low-dose alcohol consumption primarily influences signaling pathways related to neurodegenerative diseases such as PD and Prion diseases. ConclusionAlcohol consumption is generally considered as a harmful lifestyle habit. However, some studies have also shown a lower risk of mortality among individuals who consume low doses of alcohol (100 g/week of ethanol) or drink occasionally. Currently, one of the research focuses on alcohol consumption is whether the human body can benefit from low-dose alcohol intake. This study provides new evidence supporting a negative association between alcohol consumption and PD, and for the first time, through MR analysis, identifies the RIT2 gene as a potential mediator of the effect of alcohol consumption on PD. RIT2 is selectively expressed in the human brain. Building upon existing evidence indicating downregulated RIT2 gene expression in PD pathogenesis, our experiments confirm that low-dose alcohol consumption can upregulate RIT2 expression in the brain. In brief, alcohol consumption may suppress the pathogenesis of PD by upregulating RIT2 expression in the substantia nigra. China is facing a serious problem of population aging. This study offers important insights for long-term PD prevention and treatment strategies, with the aim of benefiting more potential PD patients through lifestyle modifications, thereby improving the quality of life of the aging population and reducing the economic burden on healthcare.

Objective To investigate the influence and threshold effect of preoperative intraocular pressure(IOP)on secondary glaucoma(SG)after pars plana vitrectomy(PPV).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 88 patients with retinal detachment who developed SG after PPV(SG group)treatment at Hebei Eye Hospital from January 2020 to January 2024.Meanwhile,88 patients with retinal detachment who underwent PPV at the same hospital during the same period but did not develop SG postoperatively were selected as non-SG group in a 1:1 ratio.Univariate analysis was used to compare the differences in clinical data between the two groups.A stratified regression model was applied to analyze the correlation between postoperative characteristics and preoperative IOP.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors affecting the occurrence of SG after PPV,with multicollinearity diagnosis and sensitivity analysis performed for the parameters.Additionally,the threshold effect of preoperative IOP on the risk of postoperative SG was analyzed.A predictive model was constructed based on the results of multivariate logistic regression.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was employed to evaluate the efficacy and accuracy of the predictive model,while the calibration curve and clinical decision curve were utilized to assess the consistency between the predictive model and actual conditions as well as the clinical practicality of the model.Results Compared with non-SG group,SG group had a higher proportion of patients with a history of diabetes,family history of glaucoma,a higher preoperative IOP,higher proportion of postoperative closed anterior chamber angle status,longer silicone oil tamponade duration(≥6 months),higher incidence of silicone oil emulsification(P<0.05).Postoperative anterior chamber angle status(closed)was significantly positively correlated with preoperative IOP levels(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that history of diabetes,family history of glaucoma,silicone oil emulsification,postoperative anterior chamber angle closure,silicone oil tamponade duration≥6 months,and preoperative IOP≥21 mmHg were independent risk factors for SG after PPV(P<0.05).Multicollinearity diagnosis indicated no significant collinearity among the above variables.Sensitivity analysis showed that the association tended to be null when E=5.014.With the increase of preoperative IOP,the probability of SG after PPV in patients showed an upward trend.The threshold effect analysis revealed that when preoperative IOP≥19 mmHg,the probability of SG after PPV increased significantly with the elevation of preoperative IOP(OR=2.942,95%CI 1.794-4.826,P<0.001).After adjusting for covariates,preoperative IOP remained an independent influencing factor for different degrees of SG after PPV(OR=7.392,95%CI 1.379-12.510,P=0.001).Before and after validation,the area under the ROC curves(AUCs)of the model for predicting SG after PPV were 0.987(95%CI 0.974-1.000,P<0.001)and 0.989(95%CI 0.969-1.000,P<0.001),with sensitivities of 0.9332 and 0.9545,and specificities of 0.9981 and 0.9773,respectively.Both the calibration curve and decision curve analysis demonstrated that the predictive model had good discrimination and accuracy.Conclusion Preoperative IOP is an influencing factor and a sensitive indicator for the development of SG after PPV in patients with retinal detachment.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the dynamic changes of inhalant allergen sensitization profiles in patients with allergic rhinitis,asthma and allergic rhinitis combined with asthma in the Beijing area.METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on patients with allergic rhinitis,asthma,and allergic rhinitis combined with asthma who visited the Allergy Department of Beijing Shijitan Hospital from January 2021 to December 2024.All patients underwent skin prick tests for 27 inhalant allergens.RESULTS A total of 28 454 patients were included.The overall positive rate of SPT was 74.21%,with the highest positive rate in the 10-14 age group(84.09%).Spring pollen and summer-autumn pollen were the main allergens,with higher positive rates than dust mites and molds(P<0.05).Juniperus chinensis was the main sensitization in patients with allergic rhinitis,while in patients with allergic rhinitis combined with asthma,sensitization to weeds such as Chenopodium album,Humulus scandens,and Artemisia sieversiana were more common.In recent years,the positive rates of sensitization to spring pollen,summer-autumn pollen,and molds all showed an upward trend(P<0.05),with the most significant increase in molds.CONCLUSION In the Beijing area,pollen,dust mites and mold are the main allergens in spring and autumn.In recent years,the sensitization rates of Juniperus chinensis and Artemisia sieversiana pollen have decreased,but the positive rate of mold sensitization has been on the rise,which still needs to be taken seriously.

The efficient,precise,and rapid detection of trace copper ions(Cu2+)is of paramount importance in the realms of food safety,environmental monitoring,and medical health.By ingeniously utilizing the chemical properties of benzotriazole compounds in copper protection,and introducing an electrochemical reduction strategy,a silver nanoparticle composite structure supported by a nickel foam substrate was developed as an active platform for surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS)detection.This platform employed benzotriazole-5-carboxylic acid(BTAC)as a specific SERS probe molecule to achieve sensitive analysis of metal ion concentrations.The detection mechanism revealed a highly selective coordination between the Cu2+and the nitrogen atom in the triazole ring of BTAC,triggering subtle structural changes in the triazole ring.This was manifested by a significant and quantifiable shift in the characteristic peak of the SERS spectrum(particularly at 1001 cm-1),with a maximum shift of up to 30 cm-1.This phenomenon not only addressed the issue of reproducibility in quantitative analysis caused by the non-uniformity of SERS substrate materials but also significantly broadened the application boundaries of SERS technology for trace metal ion detection.It enabled ultra-sensitive detection of Cu2+concentrations ranging from 1×10-6 to 1×10-11 mol/L,with a detection limit as low as 1×10-11 mol/L,significantly enhancing detection sensitivity and accuracy.This work provided a novel and efficient strategy for rapid detection of trace Cu2+and enriched the application potential of SERS technology in food safety,environmental monitoring and biomedical analysis.
