ObjectiveTo investigate the migration and distribution characteristics of chemical constituents in blood and hippocampal tissues before and after vinegar processing of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride（CRPV）， and to explore the potential material basis and mechanisms underlying their regulatory effects on emotional disorders by comparing the effects of raw and vinegar-processed products of CRPV. MethodsUltra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS） was employed to characterize and identify the chemical constituents of raw and vinegar-processed products of CRPV extracts， as well as their migrating components in blood and hippocampal tissues after oral administration. Reference standards， databases， and relevant literature were utilized for compound annotation， with data processing performed using PeakView 1.2 software. Seventy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into seven groups， including the blank group， model group， diazepam group（2.5 mg·kg^-1）， raw CRPV low/high dose groups（0.6， 1.2 g·kg^-1）， and vinegar-processed CRPV low/high dose groups（0.6， 1.2 g·kg^-1）， with 10 mice per group. Except for the blank group， all other groups underwent chronic restraint stress（2 h·d^-1） for 20 d. Each drug-treated group received oral administration at the predetermined dose starting 10 d after modeling， with a total treatment duration of 10 d. Following model-based drug administration， mice underwent open-field， forced swimming， and elevated plus maze tests. After anesthesia with isoflurane， whole brains were collected from each group of mice， and hippocampi were dissected. Reactive oxygen species（ROS） level in hippocampal tissues was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe hippocampal tissue morphology. Immunofluorescence was performed to detect neuronal nuclei（NeuN） and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha（PPARα） expressions in hippocampal tissue. Then， pharmacodynamic evaluations were conducted to assess the effects of raw and vinegar-processed CRPV on mood disorders， exploring the potential mechanisms. ResultsVinegar processing caused significant changes in the chemical composition of CRPV， with 18 components showing increased relative content and 35 components showing decreased relative content. The primary changes occurred in flavonoid compounds， including 20 flavonoids， 20 flavonoid glycosides， 3 triterpenes， 3 phenolic acids， 1 alkaloid， and 6 other compounds. Twenty-one components were detected in blood（15 methoxyflavones， 4 flavonoid glycosides， and 2 phenolic acids）， with 17 shared between raw and vinegar-processed CRPV. Seven components reached hippocampal tissues（all common to both forms）. In regulating emotional disorders， Vinegar-processed CRPV exhibited superior antidepressant-like effects compared to raw products. HE staining revealed that both treatments improved hippocampal neuronal morphology， particularly in the damaged CA1 and CA3 regions. Immunofluorescence and ELISA analyses demonstrated that both raw and vinegar-processed CRPV significantly modulated NeuN and PPARα expressions in hippocampal tissue while alleviating oxidative stress induced by excessive ROS（P<0.05）. ConclusionThe chemical composition of CRPV undergoes changes after vinegar processing， but the migrating components in blood and hippocampus are primarily methoxyflavonoids. These components may serve as the potential material basis for activating the PPARα pathway， thereby negatively regulating ROS generation in the hippocampus， reducing oxidative stress， and promoting the development of NeuN-positive neurons. These findings provide experimental evidence for enhancing quality standards， pharmacodynamic material research， and active drug development of raw and vinegar-processed CRPV.

Objective:To investigate the role of resveratrol(RES)in improving airway inflammation in children with asthma by regulating miR-125b-5p/PRDM1 axis and its molecular mechanism.Methods:Rat model of asthma was induced by ovalbumin(OVA).The rats were randomly divided into sham group(sham),asthma group(model),10 μmol/L RES(RES-L)group,50 μmol/L RES(RES-H)group,50 μmol/L miR-125b-5p antagomir(miR-125b-5p antagomir)group and miR-125b-5p antagomir+50 μmol/L RES(miR-125b-5p antagomir+RES)group.The number of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)was detected.HE staining and Masson three-color staining were used to observe pathological changes of lung tissue.Levels of inflammatory factors in lung homogenates were detected by ELISA.Serum from asthmatic children and healthy children was collected for analysis.Expressions of miR-125b-5p and PRDM1 in lung tissues of asthmatic and healthy children and different groups of rats were detected by RT-qPCR.Targeted binding relationship between miR-125b-5p and PRDM1 was detected by double luciferase assay.Results:HE staining showed that the airway epithelium in asthma group had a variety of inflammatory cell infiltration,while pathological changes in RES group were reduced.Masson staining showed that the area of airway collagen deposition was reduced in RES group compared with asth-ma group.The number of inflammatory cells in BALF in asthma group was higher than that in RES group.RES treatment significantly reduced airway wall and smooth muscle thickness.ELISA results showed that lung tissue in the asthma group had increased levels of IL-1β,IL-10 and TNF-α,while decreased level of IL-12,the RES group showed the opposite trend.Level of miR-125b-5p in lung tissue of asthmatic rats was significantly increased,while level of PRDM1 was decreased,and RES treatment could reverse this result.In addi-tion,treatment with miR-125b-5p antagomir alleviated airway inflammation and airway remodeling in asthmic rats.Dual luciferase assay confirmed the targeting binding relationship between miR-125b-5p and PRDM1.Compared with healthy children,serum levels of IL-1β,IL-10 and TNF-α were increased,while IL-12 level was decreased in children with asthma.Conclusion:RES inhibits the re-lease of inflammatory cytokines through HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB pathway,alleviating asthma-induced airway inflammation and airway remodeling.

Objective To evaluate the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI)in differentiating histopathological types of brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Sixty-eight patients with brain metastases confirmed by pathology were collected,including 47 lung adenocarcinoma patients divided into a lung adenocarcinoma group and 21 lung squamous cell carcinoma patients into a lung squamous cell carcinoma group.The two groups were compared in terms of the DCE-MRI derived parameters including volume transfer constant(Ktrans),extra vascular extracellular volume fraction(Ve)and plasma volume fraction(Vp);ROC curves were used to assess the diagnostic efficacy of different quantitative parameters for the pathologic types of brain metastases from lung adenocarcinoma group or lung squamous cell carcinoma.SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results The lung adenocarcinoma group had the values of Ktrans,Ve,Vp and Ve+Vp higher than those of the lung squamous cell carcinoma group,with the differences being statistically significant(all P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis results showed that Ktrans,Vp and Ve had high differential diagnosis values for the pathologic types of brain metastases from lung adenocarcinoma group or lung squamous cell carcinoma,with the AUC being 1.000,0.998 and 0.875,the optimal Youden index being 0.183 min-1,0.039 and 0.270,the sensitivity being 100.00％,100.00％and 80.56％and the specificity being 100.00％,97.06％and 80.88％,respectively.Conclusion The quantitative parameters of DCE-MRI gain advantages in the differential diagnosis of NSCLC brain metastases,and provide references for the diagnosis and treatment of brain metastases of lung cancer.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(5):54-59]

Objective To analyze the distribution and drug resistance patterns of pathogenic bacteria in bile and blood cultures obtained from patients with biliary stones accompanied by acute biliary tract infection,to evaluate the clinical appropriate-ness of antibiotic use based on drug sensitivity results,and to provide evidence for empirical antibiotic treatment in such patients.Methods The clinical data of 161 patients with biliary calculi complicated by acute biliary tract infection who were admitted to the First People's Hospital of Neijiang from 2017 to 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The results of microbial culture,drug sensitivity analysis,and patient characteristics were assessed to evaluate the appropriateness of clinical antimicrobial therapy.Results Among the 161 patients with positive cultures,212 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected.The predominant patho-gens were Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae subspecies,and Enterococcus faecium.Age and underlying diseases significantly affected the distribution of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae subspecies.Within the gram-negative bacterial group,Esche-richia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae subspecies exhibited higher drug resistance to commonly used broad-spectrum penicillin,third-generation cephalosporin and quinolones but lower resistance rates to piperacillin and tazobactam;furthermore,elderly indi-viduals aged ≥65 years showed higher resistance rates to ceftriaxone than those under age 65 while people with drug exposure history had higher ceftazidime resistance rates that were statistically significant.In contrast to Enterococcus faecalis which displayed low antimicrobial resistance rates for most drugs tested in this study,Enterococcus faecium demonstrated high levels of antibiotic resistance;however,both Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium exhibited zero-resistance rates against vancomycin and tigecycline although this may be attributed to their small sample size in our study cohort.Finally,we found that empirical anti-in-fective drugs,as well as target anti-infective drugs,were not prescribed rationally among these patients due mainly to inappropriate combinations of antibiotics or incorrect dosages.Conclusions The predominant pathogens in patients with acute biliary tract infection are gram-negative bacteria,Gram-positive bacteria,and fungi;however,the potential involvement of anaerobic bacteria should not be overlooked.Vancomycin exhibits sensitivity against gram-positive bacteria,yet the overall rationality of antibiotic usage remains suboptimal.Enhanced clinical testing for pathogenic microorganisms is imperative in the management of biliary stones accompanied by acute biliary tract infection.In contrast,clinical pharmacists should provide comprehensive training on anti-infective drugs to clinicians to facilitate their judicious selection of antibiotics based on drug sensitivity results and prevent the e-mergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of cases involving monkey injuries at medical institutions surrounding Qianlingshan Park in Guiyang City, and to provide a reference basis for preventive measures to reduce monkey injuries and standardized post-exposure treatment.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, collecting 1 900 cases of monkey-induced injuries in Qianlingshan Park treated at the outpatient clinic of Guizhou Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Surgery at Qianling Hospital, Guiyang City, from 2021 to 2024. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson′s chi-square test.Results:Total of 1 900 cases of monkey-related injuries in Qianlingshan Park were collected from 2021 to 2024. The exposure time distribution exhibited significant seasonality, with 48.58% of cases occurring during July and August, totaling 923 cases, indicating a peak in the summer. There were 774 male patients and 1 126 female patients, with a ratio of 1∶1.45.and significant differences were observed between different age groups and genders (χ2=195.00, P<0.001), with the highest number of cases occurring in the 0-9 and 20-29 age groups, accounting for 22.05%(419 cases) and 21.79%(414 cases), respectively. The upper limbs were the most common injury site, accounting for 50.84% of the total cases(966 cases in total), with significant differences between gender and injury location (χ2=22.00, P<0.001), Among females, the proportion of injuries to the upper and lower limbs (30.11% and 16.47%, respectively) was higher than that among males (20.74% and 8.63%, respectively). The majority of injuries were classified as Grade Ⅲ, making up 57.38% of cases(1 069 cases in total). Self-treatment after exposure was the most common approach(60.44%), with significant differences observed between wound severity and treatment method (χ2=6.90, P=0.032), Patients with Grade Ⅱ and Grade Ⅲ wounds were more likely to choose self-management (26.84% and 33.23%, respectively) than outpatient management (15.14% and 24.15%). Approximately 98.05% (1 863 cases) of monkey-injured patients had received rabies vaccinations. Conclusions:This study analyzes monkey-related injuries in Qianlingshan Park from 2021 to 2024, clarifying the temporal distribution of injuries, demographic characteristics, injury sites, and treatment methods. The findings provide references for optimizing human-monkey conflict management and the prevention and control of zoonotic diseases in urban ecological parks.

Objective To establish a high-precision and highly interpretable predictive model to address the challenges faced by constructing predictive models for high-dimensional omics data,such as many potential predictive factors,limited sample size,and high correlation between predictive factors.Methods Unify spike and slab priors and elastic network penalties into the Cox model and propose the spike and slab priors elastic network Cox model.This model can shrink the coefficients to varying degrees based on the importance of different variables.Use the expectation-maximization algorithm coordinate descent algorithm to fit the model,which estimates parameters by maximizing a posterior probability within a Bayesian framework.Results In different simulation experimental scenarios,the spike and slab prior elastic network Cox model exhibited higher sensitivity,balance accuracy,and concordance index than traditional models.In the validation analysis of real datasets,the concordance index of this model is also higher than that of traditional models.Conclusion The spike and slab prior elastic network Cox model is a new variable screening and survival prediction method that can handle high-dimensional omics data in cancer research.
