Objective:To investigate the value of T helper 17 cells（Th17）/regulatory T cells（Treg）imbalance in the evaluation of intravenous immunoglobulin（IVIG）resistance in children with Kawasaki disease and Kobayashi score≤4.Methods:A total of 78 children with Kawasaki disease and Kobayashi score ≤ 4 admitted to Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were prospectively selected as the study subjects，all of whom received IVIG treatment.In the acute phase，the proportion of Th17 cells and Treg cells was detected.Children were divided into IVIG sensitive group and IVIG resistance group based on their responsiveness to IVIG treatment.Baseline data of children with different IVIG treatment responsiveness，acute Th17 cell inflammatory factors [interleukin（IL）-17，IL-21，tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）]，Treg cell inflammatory factors [IL-10，IL-35，transforming growth factor-β（TGF-β）] levels，and Th17/Treg values were compared.The correlation between Th17/Treg values and IVIG resistance in children with Kawasaki disease was analyzed using a restricted cubic spline model（RCS）.According to the threshold of correlation between Th17/Treg values obtained from RCS analysis and drug resistance in children，Th17/Treg was grouped，with a focus on analyzing the predictive value and clinical benefits of Th17/Treg values for IVIG resistance in children with Kawasaki disease.Results:Among the 78 children with Kawasaki disease，16 were resistant to IVIG treatment，accounting for 20.51%.The levels of C-reactive protein（CRP）,IL-17,and Th17/Treg in the acute phase of children in the IVIG resistance group were higher than those in the IVIG sensitive group，while the levels of IL-10 were lower than those in the IVIG sensitive group（ P<0.05）.RCS analysis showed that there was a non-linear dose-response relationship between IVIG resistance and acute Th17/Treg values in children with Kawasaki disease（ P<0.05）.When the acute Th17/Treg value was greater than 1.05，the risk of IVIG resistance in children with Kawasaki disease increased with the increase in indicator levels.The levels of CRP and IL-17 in the acute phase of children with Th17/Treg>1.05 were higher than those in the Th17/Treg < 1.05 group，while IL-10 levels were lower than those in the Th17/Treg<1.05 group.The proportion of children resistant to IVIG treatment was higher than that in the Th17/Treg<1.05 group（ P<0.05）.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CRP，IL-17，IL-10，and Th17/Treg were the influencing factors of IVIG resistance in children with Kawasaki disease（ P<0.05）.It was found through a nomogram that the C-index of the acute phase Th17/Treg values and their secretion of inflammatory factors in children with Kawasaki disease and Kobayashi score ≤ 4，as well as other major indicators，predicted the risk of IVIG resistance.The C-index was 0.975（95% CI 0.944-1.000），indicating good discrimination.When drawing the decision curve，it was found that compared to using each indicator separately，the Th17/Treg value and its secreted inflammatory factors in the acute phase assisted other major indicators in drawing the decision curve with a higher net benefit rate，with a maximum net benefit rate of 0.205. Conclusion:IVIG resistance in children with Kawasaki disease and Kobayashi score≤4 is related to Th17/Treg imbalance.When the Th17/Treg value in the acute phase of the disease is greater than 1.05，the risk of IVIG resistance is higher.The inflammatory factors IL-17 and IL-10 secreted by the two can assist other known indicators related to IVIG resistance in Kawasaki disease patients，improving the accuracy of predicting resistance risk.

BACKGROUND:Eupatilin,a flavonoid active component derived from Artemisia sinensis,has been reported to relieve inflammation and improve neurological scores in rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage,but its role and mechanism in learning and memory remain unclear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of eupatilin on learning and memory abilities and P38 mitogen activated protein kinase(p38 MAPK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription-3(STAT3)pathway proteins in rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage.METHODS:A total of 50 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham surgery group,model group,eupatilin group,hesperetin group,eupatilin+hesperetin group,with 10 rats in each group.Except for the sham surgery group,the rats in the other groups were used to construct a subarachnoid hemorrhage model through intravascular perforation.Two hours after successful modeling,the eupatilin group was injected with 10 mg/kg eupatilin via the tail vein,the hesperetin group was injected with 50 mg/kg hesperetin(p38 MAPK/STAT3 signaling pathway activator)via the tail vein,the eupatilin+hesperetin group was injected with 10 mg/kg eupatilin and 50 mg/kg hesperetin via the tail vein,and the sham surgery group and the model group were injected with 10 mL/kg saline via the tail vein.The drug treatment lasted for 24 hours.The neurologic deficit score and Morris water maze experiment were applied to detect the neurological function and learning and memory abilities of rats.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to detect the histopathological changes of the hippocampus.TUNEL method was used to detect neuronal apoptosis.Immunohistochemical staining was conducted to detect the number of doublecortin-positive cells in hippocampal tissue.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of p38 MAPK/STAT3 protein in hippocampal tissue.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the sham surgery group,rats in the model group had lower neurological deficit scores,learning and memory abilities,and number of doublecortin-positive cells(P<0.05),and higher neuronal apoptosis rate and protein expression of p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK and p-STAT3/STAT3(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,rats in the eupatilin group showed higher neurological deficit scores,learning and memory abilities,and number of doublecortin-positive cells(P<0.05),and lower neuronal apoptosis rate and protein expression of p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK and p-STAT3/STAT3(P<0.05),while those in the nerolone group showed lower neurological deficit scores,learning and memory abilities,and number of doublecortin-positive cells(P<0.05),and higher neuronal apoptosis rate and protein expression of p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK and p-STAT3/STAT3(P<0.05).Compared with the eupatilin group,rats in the eupatilin+hesperetin group had lower neurological deficit scores,learning memory abilities,and number of doublecortin-positive cells(P<0.05),and higher neuronal apoptosis rate and protein expression of p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK and p-STAT3/STAT3(P<0.05).Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that compared with the model group,the nerve cells were more neatly arranged in the eupatilin group,disorganized in the hesperetin group,and arranged in a similar way to the model group in the eupatilin+hesperetin group.To conclude,eupatilin may improve learning and memory abilities of rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage by inhibiting the p38 MAPK/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the effect of remote ischemic conditioning(RIC)combined with binaural beat music(BBM)train-ing in patients with cognitive dysfunction after cerebral infarction.Methods From June,2024 to January,2025,200 patients with cognitive dysfunction after cerebral infarction in the Affil-iated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology were randomly divided into control group(n=50),RIC group(n=50),BBM group(n=50)and combined group(n=50).All the groups received stan-dardized routine training,RIC group received RIC,BBM group received BBM,and the combined group received RIC+BBM,for 14 days.They were assessed with Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)and Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale(SS-QOL)at baseline,day 14,and day 90.Results Two cases in the control group,four in RIC group,three in BBM group and three in the combined group dropped out.For MoCA scores,the inter-group effect,intra-group effect and interaction effect were all significant(F>13.463,P<0.001).After intervention,on both day 14 and day 90,the score of MoCA was higher in each in-tervention group than in the control group(P<0.05),and was higher in the combined group than in both BBM and RIC groups(P<0.05);and on day 90,it was higher in RIC group than in BBM group(P<0.05).For SS-QOL,the score increased with time in all the groups(χ2>75.182,P<0.001).After intervention,there was signif-icant difference at each time point among four groups(H>18.260,P<0.001).On day 14 and day 90,the score of SS-QOL was higher in the combined group than in the control and BBM groups(|Z|>3.149,P<0.05);on day 90,the score was higher in RIC group than in the control group(|Z|=3.590,P<0.05),and it was higher in the combined group than in RIC group(|Z|=3.186,P<0.05).Conclusion RIC,BBM and their combination all improved cognitive function after cerebral infarction.RIC was superior to BBM,and the combined intervention yielded the greatest benefit.Both RIC and the combined intervention im-proved quality of life,with the combined approach being the most effective.

Objective To longitudinally analyze the changes in perioperative nutritional indicators in elderly patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)and their correlation with the score of modified Rankin scale(mRS)score.Methods A total of 295 elderly ICH patients ad-mitted to the neurosurgery intensive care unit of North China University of Science and Technolo-gy Affiliated Hospital from June 2022 to November 2024 were consecutively enrolled in this study.The levels of relevant nutritional indicators were measured before(T1),and in 1(T2),3(T3),5(T4)and 7 d(T5)after surgery.According to the mRS score in 90 d after onset of the disease,they were divided into a good prognosis group(mRS score≤ 2,114 cases)and a poor prognosis group(mRS score≥3,181 cases).The general data and levels of nutritional indicators at above time points were compared between the two groups.Binary logistic regression analysis was applied to study the relationship between the perioperative nutritional indicator levels and the prognosis in elderly patients with spontaneous ICH.Results The poor prognosis group had significantly higher SBP,larger proportions of stroke history,hemorrhage in the brainstem and midline dis-placement,and increased NIHSS score than the good prognosis group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Obvi-ously lower BMI(56.48±9.54 kg vs 66.62±8.12 kg),decreased serum levels of albumin[40.24(39.10,41.16)g/L vs 43.30(40.65,45.50)g/L],prealbumin[203.00(164.00,261.00)mg/L vs 229.00(180.00,282.00)mg/L]and TC[4.68(4.11,5.39)mmol/L vs 4.91(4.47,5.66)mmol/L],reduced lymphocyte count[1.58(0.95,2.03)× 109/L vs 1.77(1.99,1.91)× 109/L],and reduced GCS[7.00(5.00,10.00)vs 9.00(7.00,13.00)]and Barthel[55.00(43.00,64.00)vs 61.00(52.00,69.00)]scores at admission were observed in the poor prognosis group than the good prognosis group(all P＜0.01).At all different time points,the poor prognosis group also got notably higher Controlling Nutritional Status(CONUT)scores(reaching the highest levels at 3 d after opera-tion),and lower Prognostic Nutritional Index(PNI)score and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index(GNRI)score(both declining the lowest levels at same time)when compared with the poor prog-nosis group(all P＜0.01).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that COUNT scores,PNI scores and GNRI scores before(T1)and at 1(T2),3(T3),5(T4)and 7 d(T5)after operation were independent risk factors for 90-day poor prognosis in elderly patients with spontaneous ICH.Conclusion The fluctuations of 3 nutritional indicators at different time points in the periopera-tive period are closely associated with the 90-day prognosis of elderly ICH patients.Monitoring the changes in the nutritional indicators can quickly and conveniently predict the prognosis of the pa-tients,which has high clinical application value.

Artificial intelligence(AI)has emerged as a cutting-edge technology leading the future and is a key engine for China's development.In the innovation and research of medical devices,AI has provided critical support in the areas of intelligent diagnostic assistance,intelligent therapeutic assis-tance,intelligent monitoring,life support,et al.Ma-chine learning-enabled device software functions(ML-DSFs)have become an essential component of many medical devices.Recently,the United States Food and Drug Administration(FDA)released a draft guidance titled"Marketing Submission Rec-ommendations for a Predetermined Change Con-trol Plan for Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learn-ing(AI/ML)-Enabled Device Software Functions(Draft)."that aimed to provide a forward-looking approach to foster the development of ML medical devices.By supporting iterative updates through modifications,this approach ensures the continu-ous safety and effectiveness of the devices.This guidance represents the latest in regulatory direc-tion and is especially beneficial for enhancing the quality and efficiency of clinical trials for AI prod-ucts.Therefore,we plan to provide a detailed intro-duction and interpretation of the guidance,with the aim of learning from international advanced regulatory concepts and experiences to promote the development of ML-DSFs with more profound international influence.

Immune thrombocytopenia(ITP)is an autoimmune disease characterized primarily by bleeding and fatigue.ITP-related fatigue can substantially affect health-related quality of life and has been recognized as a treatment indication in the latest guidelines.However,its pathogenesis remains unclear,and targeted therapies are lacking.This paper explores the theoretical foundation of the"excessive fire consuming healthy qi"theory,linking two key conceptual pairs:"excessive fire"with inflammation and"healthy qi consumption"with mitochondrial dysfunction.Chronic inflammation leads to continuous"qi consumption"and damage to mitochondrial structure and function,ultimately resulting in symptoms of qi deficiency such as tiredness and fatigue.The imbalance between qi and fire,leading to imbalance of yin and yang,is the primary pathogenesis of ITP-related fatigue,with the disease mainly affecting the spleen.Considering the etiology and pathogenesis of ITP,and relative equilibrium of yin-yang,the therapeutic approach of invigorating spleen and benefiting qi to promote the production of blood serves as a core treatment strategy.Previous research has demonstrated the clinical efficacy of Jianpi Yiqi Shexue Formula,consisting of milkvetch root,tangshen,Indian bread,largehead atractylodes rhizome,India madder root,and ass hide glue in treating patients with ITP-related fatigue.Designed to invigorate the spleen and regulate qi and blood,this formula aligns with the pathogenesis of ITP-related fatigue characterized by deficiency of spleen qi and stomach qi.The formula also modulates the expression levels of key proteins and genes involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism and alleviates the immune dysfunction.These findings highlight the potential for further research into the mechanism of ITP-related fatigue,particularly by using inflammation-mediated mitochondrial energy metabolism as a promising entry point.

Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effect of Tibetan medicine 70 Wei Pearl Pill(RNSP)on 6-hydroxydopamine(6-OHDA)induced Parkinson's disease model rats and its related mechanism.Methods Totally 48 male SD rats were randomly divided into control group,model group,model plus low-dose RNSP group(90 mg/kg),model plus medium-dose RNSP group(180 mg/kg),model plus high-dose RNSP group(360 mg/kg),and model plus madopar group(50 mg/kg),with 8 rats in per group.Except for the control group,the other rats were treated with 6-OHDA single injection into the striatum to establish the PD model.Each group was given intragastric administration after modeling and the control group and model group were given an equal volume of saline once a day for 4 weeks.The rats were subjected to apomorphine-induced rotation,experiments at the 2nd and 4th week after the completion of modeling,and the open field experiment was conducted the next day after the last rotation experiment to observe the animal behavior.After the behavioral experiment,the rats were stained with tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)in the substantia nigra pars compacta by immunohistochemical method and the positive neurons were counted.The protein levels of Bcl-2,BAX,Caspase-3 in substantia nigra and P38,P-P38,ERK,P-ERK,JNK,P-JNK in the striatum were detected by Western blotting.Results Compared with the control group,the rotation frequency and percentage of rotating rats in the model group increased significantly at the 2nd and 4th weeks after modeling;the open field active distance,average speed and times of crossing the grid were significantly decreased;and the rest time was significantly increased.While the number of TH positive neurons in the substantia nigra was significantly decreased,the BAX and Caspase-3 protein levels were increased significantly,Bcl-2 was decreased significantly,the ratios of P-P38/P38,P-JNK/JNK and P-ERK/ERK in the striatum were significantly increased in PD group.Compared with the model group,the rotation frequency and percentage of rotating rats in the low-,medium-and high-dose groups of RNSP had no significant changes after 2 weeks of administration,the rotation frequency in the high-dose group and percentage of rotating rats in the low-and medium-dose RNSP groups significantly decreased after 4 weeks of administration.The open field active distance,average speed,and times of crossing the grid were significantly increased;the rest time was significantly decreased.The number of TH positive neurons in the substantia nigra was significantly increased,the Bax and Caspase-3 protein levels were decreased significantly while the Bcl-2 was significantly increased.The ratios of P-P38/P38,P-JNK/JNK and P-ERK/ERK in the striatum were significantly decreased.Conclusion Tibetan medicine RNSP can improve the motor ability and reduce the loss of DA neurons in PD rats,and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting P38/JNK/ERK signaling pathway and reducing the apoptosis of midbrain neurons.
