ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which modified Shengjiangsan （MSJS） improves diabetic kidney disease （DKD） by activating mitochondrial autophagy. MethodsSixty SPF-grade male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 7-8 weeks were selected. A DKD model was established using a high-sugar， high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin （STZ）. After successful modeling， the rats were randomly divided into six groups： a normal control group， a model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose MSJS groups （7.7， 15.4， 30.8 g·kg^-1， respectively）， and an irbesartan group （0.384 g·kg^-1）. Each group received either normal saline or the corresponding drug by gavage once daily for 28 consecutive days. Blood glucose， body weight， and kidney weight were recorded. Serum creatinine （SCr） and blood urea nitrogen （BUN） levels were detected using an automatic blood analyzer. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to determine urinary microalbumin （mALB）， and serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6）. Histopathological changes in renal tissues were observed using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， periodic acid-Schiff （PAS） staining， and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The expression levels of mitochondrial autophagy-related proteins in renal tissues were analyzed by Western blot. Immunofluorescence co-localization was employed to detect the co-expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta （LC3B） and cytochrome c oxidase subunit Ⅳ （COX Ⅳ）. ResultsCompared with the normal control group， the model group exhibited significant increases in renal index， blood glucose， and 24-hour urinary microalbumin （24 h mALB） （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The levels of serum SCr and BUN were significantly elevated （P<0.01）， and the serum levels of TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 were markedly upregulated （P<0.01）. Histopathological examination revealed glomerular hypertrophy， mesangial expansion and increased deposition， podocyte foot process flattening and fusion， a decreased number of autophagosomes accompanied by mitochondrial swelling， vacuolar degeneration of renal tubular epithelial cells， and inflammatory cell infiltration in the renal interstitium. The expression levels of autophagy-related proteins LC3B， PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 （PINK1）， and E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase （Parkin） were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while expression of the selective autophagy adaptor protein p62 was significantly increased （P<0.01）. Immunofluorescence signal intensity and LC3B-COX Ⅳ co-expression were both diminished. Compared with the model group， the MSJS treatment groups and the irbesartan group showed significant reductions in renal index， blood glucose， and 24 h mALB （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The serum SCr and BUN levels decreased significantly （P<0.05） and TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 levels were significantly downregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Histopathological damage was alleviated， including reduced glomerular hypertrophy， decreased mesangial deposition， and attenuated podocyte foot process fusion. The number of autophagosomes increased， and mitochondrial swelling was improved. The expression levels of LC3B， PINK1， and Parkin in renal tissues were significantly upregulated， whereas p62 expression was significantly downregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01） in MSJS groups. Immunofluorescence signal intensity was enhanced， and LC3B-COX Ⅳ co-expression was increased. ConclusionMSJS alleviates the inflammatory response in DKD rats and exerts renal protective effects by regulating the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway and activating mitochondrial autophagy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical benefit and application value of the Da Vinci robotic surgical system through bilateral axillary areolar approach in cervical lymph node dissection in obese thyroid carcinoma patients.Methods:The clinical data of 117 patients with thyroid cancer admitted to the thyroid and breast surgery Department of the 960th Hospital of the Chinese PLA Joint Logistic Support Force from January 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 55 males and 62 females, aged from 17 to 64 years, with an average age of (36.05±8.77) years. According to body mass index (BMI), patients were divided into normal group (18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI< 24 kg/m 2, n=60) and obese group (BMI≥28 kg/m 2, n=57). Gender, age, BMI, operation time, postoperative drainage fluid volume, tumor diameter, central lymph node dissection and number of metastasis, cervical lymph node dissection and number of metastasis, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative aesthetic satisfaction score and surgical complications of the two groups were analyzed. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used to analyze the data. Results:All of patients completed the operation successfully, and neither group was transferred to open surgery. The BMI of obese group was higher than that of normal group [(31.35±3.08) kg/m 2vs (22.53±0.82) kg/m 2, t=20.97, P<0.05]. The maximum tumor diameter in the obese group was greater than that in the normal group [(13.81±10.70) mm vs (10.42±5.53) mm, t=2.17, P<0.05]. There were no significant differences in operation time, number of central lymph node dissection and metastasis, number of cervical lymph node dissection and metastasis and postoperative complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Utilization of the Da Vinci robotic surgical system via the BABA approach demonstrates both safety and feasibility in obese patients with thyroid carcinoma undergoing lateral cervical lymph node dissection. Importantly, this technique does not increase the risk of surgical complications, thus providing a novel alternative for lateral cervical lymph node dissection in obese thyroid carcinoma patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of fixation of posterior malleolar fractures of Haraguchi type Ⅱ on ankle function in trimalleolar fractures.Methods A total of 118 patients with trimalleolar fractures accompanied with posterior malleolar fractures of Haraguchi type Ⅱ who treated by surgery were selected as the study subjects,and divided into the fixation group(57 cases)and the non-fixation group(61 cases)based on whether the posterior malleolus was fixed during the operation.The operation related indicators,American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS)ankle-hindfoot score,and the excellent and good rate of ankle function recovery were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the operation time,intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay,fracture healing time,complete weight-bearing time or postoperative joint flatness between the two groups(P<0.05).At the end of the follow-up,the pain score and total score of the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale in the fixation group were higher than those in the non-fixation group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05);and the excellent and good rate of ankle function recovery in the fixation group was higher than that in the non-fixation group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion Surgical treatment for the trimalleolar fractures accompanied with posterior malleolar fractures of Haraguchi type Ⅱ can achieve satisfactory clinical outcome,and the fixation of posterior malleolar fractures of Haraguchi type Ⅱ can effectively reduce postoperative joint pain and improve ankle function.

AP2 transcription factors belong to the AP2/ERF superfamily and are involved in the regula-tion of various biological processes in plant growth and development,as well as in response to biotic and abiotic stresses.However,studies on the AP2 transcription factor family of Perilla frutescens have not been reported.In this study,totally 18 AP2 family members were identified from the Perilla frutescens ge-nome and analyzed for gene structure,conserved motifs,and cis-acting elements using bioinformatics.WRINKLED1(WRI1)is a key regulator of lipid biosynthesis in many plant species and plays an impor-tant role in the regulation of lipid synthesis.Sequence comparison revealed that one member of WRI1 is highly homologous to AtWRI1 and contains two conserved AP2 domains,named PfWRI1.The expression levels of PfAP2 family genes were analyzed in different tissues of Perilla frutescens and at different stages of seed development in conjunction with the transcriptome data,and the results showed that PfWRI1 is highly expressed only in the seeds of Perilla frutescens,suggesting that PfWRI1 may be related to the de-velopmental process of the seeds.The overexpression vector of plant pCAMBIA1303-PfWRI1 was con-structed,and wild-type(Col)and mutant(wri1-1)Arabidopsis thaliana were transformed by Agrobacte-rium tumefaciens to obtain overexpression and complementation lines,respectively.The results showed that the expression of P fWRI1 led to an increase in oil content of Arabidopsis seeds by 8.90％-13.57％compared with Col,and promoted the accumulation of oleic acid(C18:1)and linoleic acid(18:2)and reduced the accumulation of palmitic acid(C16:0),arachidonic acid(C20:0),and cis-11-Eicosenoic acid(C20:1)in transgenic Arabidopsis seeds.In addition,PfWRI1 gene expression increased the ex-pression of glycolysis and fatty acid biosynthesis-related genes AtPKP-α,AtPKP-β1,AtBCCP2,AtSUS2,and AtLIP1.Taken together,PfWRI1 may promote lipid accumulation by increasing unsaturated fatty acid content through interaction with the above genes.

Perilla frutescens,a short-day plant,is rich in biologically active substances and nutrients.Current research on Perilla frutescens focuses on agronomic traits such as yield and fatty acid accumula-tion,with limited exploration of the flowering process and floral organ development.The molecular regu-latory mechanisms underlying these aspects remain unclear.FLOWERING LOUC T(FT)is a florigen in Arabidopsis,plays critical roles in floral transition.PfFT3 is unannotated by genome but annotated by transcriptomics data to the FT-like subfamily.Its function in controlling flowering is yet to be explored.Here subcellular localization analysis showed that PfFT3 is localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm.The plant over-expression vector pCAMBIAI1303-PfFT3 was constructed and transformed into wild-type(Col-0)and mutant fd-2,fd-3,and ft-10 plants by agrobacterium-mediated inflorescence infiltration as a means of obtaining genetically stable and pure overexpression and backfill transgenic lines in Arabidopsis,respectively.Analysis of the results showed that overexpression of PfFT3 significantly promoted early flowering in Arabidopsis and rescued the late-flowering phenotype of the mutants fd-2,fd-3,and ft-10,and that expression of the exogenous PfFT3 promoted the expression of the downstream endogenous flow-ering genes AtSOC1,AtAP1,AtFUL,and AtLFY.This study demonstrates the positive role of PfFT3 in promoting flowering,providing a foundation for further investigation of PfPEBP function and advancing the breeding of early-flowering Perilla frrutescens cultivars.
