BACKGROUND:Stress-induced damage to hippocampal neurons may underlie abnormalities in neuronal structure and function,ultimately leading to mood disorders.G protein-coupled receptors in brain tissue play an important role in mood regulation.OBJECTIVE:To analyze the mechanism of depression-like behavior in chronic social defeat stress mice based on high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.METHODS:C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group and model group.There was no special treatment in the control group,while a mouse model of chronic social defeat stress was established in the model group.Depression-like behavior was assessed through the sucrose preference test,tail suspension test,and forced swim test.Anxiety behavior was evaluated using the elevated plus-maze,while social behavior was measured through the social interaction test.Cognitive function was assessed with the Y-maze spontaneous alternation test.Immunofluorescence staining was performed to quantify microglia markers in the mouse hippocampus,and Nissl staining was used to examine neuronal damage in mice.High-throughput sequencing was used to identify differentially expressed genes and gene enrichment in the mouse hippocampus,and qPCR was used to measure the expression of G protein-coupled receptors in the mouse hippocampus.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the control group,chronic social defeat stress mice showed significant behavioral impairments,including increased anxiety,depression,and cognitive deficits.(2)Additionally,the Nissl body light density in hippocampal neurons was significantly reduced in chronic social defeat stress mice.(3)Sequencing results revealed synaptic damage in the neurons after chronic social defeat stress.Microglia activation was also markedly increased in the hippocampus of CSDS mice.Furthermore,the expression of G protein-coupled receptors in the hippocampus was significantly higher in chronic social defeat stress mice compared with the control group.These findings suggest that chronic social defeat stress induces anxiety,depression,and cognitive deficits in mice,accompanied by neuropathological changes in the hippocampus,and that altered G protein-coupled receptors expression may play a key role in these behavioral and neuropathological changes.

Severe open tibiofibular fractures account for approximately 28.1% of all open fractures. Among them, Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB/C fractures present significant clinical challenges due to associated bone and soft tissue defects, high infection rates, and risk of amputation. Inadequate preoperative assessment may lead to suboptimal emergency surgical planning or intraoperative complications. Historically, external fixation was often preferred, but this approach has been associated with limitations such as restricted joint mobility, delayed bone union, joint stiffness, and disuse osteoporosis, resulting in poor functional recovery. With advancements of debridement techniques, standardization of antibiotic use, and popularization of early soft tissue coverage, early internal fixation has gained broader acceptance. Nevertheless, controversies persist regarding the choice of fixation method, timing of definitive fixation, use of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing, and necessity of fibular fixation. To standardize the diagnosis and early management of severe open tibiofibular fractures, reduce complication rates, and improve functional recovery, the Society of Microsurgery of the Chinese Medical Association organized a panel of domestic experts to develop the Evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and early fixation of severe open tibiofibular fractures ( version 2025), using evidence-based methodology. The guidelines provided 12 recommendations covering diagnostic and early fixation strategies of severe open tibiofibular fractures, aiming to provide clinicians with scientifically grounded and standardized guidance.

Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, a Gram-negative bacterium with a significant role in the adsorption and reduction of uranium in wastewater and a quorum-sensing effect, can be used to remove uranium from wastewater. Exogenous signaling molecules (acyl-homoserine lactones, AHLs) can be added to induce the quorum sensing behavior for rapid biofilm formation, thereby improving the removal efficiency of this bacterium for uranium. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), as the significant components of biofilm, play a key role in biofilm formation. To investigate the quorum sensing behavior induced by AHLs, we systematically investigated the effects of AHLs on the EPS secretion and biofilm properties of S. oneidensis MR-1 by regulating parameters such as AHL species, concentration, addition time point, and contact time. The results showed that the addition of 10 μmol/L N-butyryl-l-homoserine lactone (C4-HSL) after 6 h of culture and continued incubation to reach the time point of 72 h significantly promoted the secretion of EPSs, in which the content of extracellular proteins and extracellular polysaccharides was increased by 15.2% and 28.2%, respectively, compared with that of the control group. The biofilm electrodes induced by signaling molecules showed superior properties, which were evidenced by an increase of exceeding 20 μm in biofilm thickness, an increase of 33.9% in the proportion of living cells, enhanced electroactivity, and an increase of 10.7% in the uranium removal rate. The biofilm electrode was confirmed to immobilize uranium in wastewater mainly by electrosorption, physicochemical adsorption, and electro-reduction through characterization means such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). This study provides a new technical idea for the efficient recovery of uranium in wastewater and enriches the theoretical system of quorum sensing regulation of electroactive biofilms.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) among acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in 16 provinces of China from 2009 to 2023.Methods:The data of this study were collected from the ARI surveillance data from 16 provinces in China from 2009 to 2023, with a total of 28 278 ARI cases included in the study. The clinical specimens from ARI cases were screened for HRSV nucleic acid from 2009 to 2023, and differences in virus detection rates among cases of different age groups, regions, and months were analyzed.Results:A total of 28 278 ARI cases were enrolled from January 2009 to September 2023. The age of the cases ranged from<1 month to 112 years, and the age M ( Q1, Q3) was 3 years (1 year, 9 years). Among them, 3 062 cases were positive for HRSV nucleic acid, with a total detection rate of 10.83%. From 2009 to 2019, the detection rate of HRSV was 9.33%, and the virus was mainly prevalent in winter and spring. During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the detection rate of HRSV fluctuated between 6.32% and 18.67%. There was no traditional winter epidemic peak of HRSV from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023, and an anti-seasonal epidemic of HRSV occurred from April to May 2023. About 87.95% (2 693/3 062) of positive cases were children under 5 years old, and the difference in the detection rate of HRSV among different age groups was statistically significant ( P<0.001), showing a decreasing trend of HRSV detection rate with the increase of age ( P<0.001). Among them, the HRSV detection rate (25.69%) was highest in children under 6 months. Compared with 2009-2019, the ranking of HRSV detection rates in different age groups changed from high to low between 2020 and 2023, with the age M (Q1, Q3) of HRSV positive cases increasing from 1 year (6 months, 3 years) to 2 years (11 months, 3 years). Conclusion:Through 15 years of continuous HRSV surveillance analysis, children under 5 years old, especially infants under 6 months old, are the main high-risk population for HRSV infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence and patterns of HRSV in China have changed.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Taohong Siwu decoction on a mouse model of carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 )-induced liver fibrosis and its mechanism of action. Methods A total of 24 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, and Taohong Siwu decoction group, with 8 mice in each group. The mice in the model group and the Taohong Siwu decoction group were given intraperitoneal injection of 10% CCl 4 , and Taohong Siwu decoction was given by gavage since week 3 for 4 consecutive weeks. Liver function [alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)] was measured, and liver pathomorphology was observed. Real-time PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), hyaluronic acid synthase-2 (HAS-2), and collagen type Ⅰ(Col1), and Western blotting was used to measure the protein expression of α-SMA, Col1, and HAS-2. Primary hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were isolated, and HAS-2 was silenced by siRNA to observe its influence on HSC activation. The t -test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups; a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the SNK or least significant difference t -test was used for further comparison between two groups. Results Compared with the normal group, the model group had significant increases in serum liver function parameters (ALT, AST) and the Taohong Siwu decoction group had significant reductions in the serum levels of ALT and AST (all P < 0.01). Pathological staining showed that the model group had marked inflammatory cell infiltration and formation of fibrous septa by proliferated collagen fibers, and the Taohong Siwu decoction group had loose fibrous septa and alleviated inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the model group, the Taohong Siwu decoction group had significant reductions in the mRNA and protein expression of α-SMA and Col1(all P < 0.001). Compared with the normal group, the model group had a significant increase in the mRNA expression level of HAS-2 in liver tissue ( t =6.14, P < 0.05), and compared with the model group, the Taohong Siwu decoction group had a significant reduction in the protein expression level of HAS-2 (0.29±0.10 vs 1.00±0.12, t =70.73, P < 0.001). After HAS-2 was silenced by siRNA, the Si HAS-2+transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) group (treated with TGFβ) had significant reductions in the mRNA expression levels of α-SMA and Col-Ⅰ compared with the NC+TGFβ group ( P < 0.01). Conclusion Taohong Siwu decoction exerts a marked therapeutic effect on CCl 4 -induced liver fibrosis in mice by inhibiting HAS-2.

Objective:
To explore the compliance of functional exercise and related factors in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD).
Methods:
A total of 108 PD patients were selected from Department of Neurology of General Hospital of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group. An anonymous survey was conducted with general questionnaire,Mini-Mental State Examination,Hamilton Depression Rating Scale,Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale and functional exercise compliance questionnaire. Multivariate linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for the scores of functional exercise compliance in PD patients.
Results:
The total score of functional exercise compliance of 108 PD patients was 36.88±4.62. The scores of compliance of physical exercise,exercise monitoring,seeking advice and tips for attention were 15.65±1.92,9.61±1.48,5.67±1.08 and 5.95±1.18,respectively. The results of multivariate linear regression analysis showed that educational background(β'=0.748),duration of illness(β'=-0.252),Hoehn-Yahr stage(β'=-0.677),rehabilitation guidance(β'=0.293),self-care ability(β'=0.313),primary caregiver(β'=0.182),cognitive dysfunction(β'=0.745),depression(β'=0.588)and anxiety(β'=0.520)could affect the compliance of functional exercise among PD patients(all P<0.05).
Conclusion
The compliance of functional exercise among PD patients was at low level,with educational background,duration of illness,Hoehn-Yahr stage,rehabilitation guidance,self-care ability,primary caregiver,cognitive dysfunction,depression and anxiety as the influencing factors.
