Taxifolin (Tax) has been proved to be a medicinal edible substance with protective effects against alcoholic liver injury, however, its poor hydrophilicity and permeability have hindered the clinical application of Tax. In this study, we prepared taxifolin-phosphatidylcholine/sodium deoxycholate/PVP-K30 micells (Tax-MLs). Box-Behnken test was used to obtain the optimal preparation process, and Tax-MLs were characterised by transmission electron microscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Physicochemical parameters such as proximate micelle concentration, equilibrium solubility and oil-water partition coefficient were determined, and the release pattern of Tax-MLs was investigated by
3.Research advances in nonconvulsive status epilepticus
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2025;42(8):711-717
Nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is a state of persistent epileptic seizure characterized by disturbance of consciousness or major neurological deficits, without obvious limb convulsions. Due to a lack of obvious clinical manifestations and the potential risk of neurological damage, current research focuses on rapid identification, accurate classification, and optimization of treatment strategies. Since there is a lack of obvious motor symptoms in NCSE, it is difficult for clinicians to quickly identify the disease through traditional signs, which poses great challenges to diagnosis, and underdiagnosis may lead to delayed treatment and poor prognosis. This article systematically reviews the epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, and key diagnostic points of NCSE and discusses existing treatment regimens and prognosis, in order to provide a reference for clinical practice.

AIM:To evaluate the relationship between dry eye disease(DED)and physical and mental health in teachers, and to explore its mechanism and propose intervention measures.METHODS:Cross-sectional study. A total of 183 teachers from three primary and secondary schools in the urban area of Linyi City, Shandong Province were enrolled in the study. DED symptoms were quantified using the ocular surface disease index(OSDI)questionnaire. A compact version of the depression, anxiety, and stress scale(DASS-21)was used to evaluate psychological state. The relationship between potential influencing factors and DED was evaluated by independent sample t-test of quantitative variables and χ2test of classified variables. Logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis to determine the influencing factors of DED. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between OSDI score and depression, anxiety and stress.RESULTS: There were 183 teachers, including 44 males(24.0%)and 139 females(76.0%), aged from 22 to 57 years, with an average age of(34.2±8.6)years. The prevalence of DED was 60.0%(109/183; 95%CI 52.4%-66.7%). The prevalence of depression was 26.2%(48/183; 95%CI 19.8%-32.7%); anxiety prevalence was 39.3%(72/183; 95%CI 32.2%-46.5%); and stress prevalence was 23.0%(42/183; 95%CI 16.8%-29.1%). The univariate analysis showed that increased age, increased working years, increased visual display terminal(VDT)application time, longer written working hours, reduced sleep hours, less alcohol consumption, and high scores of depression, anxiety and stress were all factors affecting DED(all P<0.05). Using depression scores as the psychological index, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that years of work, VDT application time, written working hours, sleep time, alcohol consumption and depression score were the influencing factors of DED(all P<0.05); Using anxiety scores as the psychological index, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that years of work, VDT application time, written working hours and stress scores were the influencing factors of DED(all P<0.05); Using stress scores as the psychological index, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that years of work, VDT application time, written working hours and stress scores were the influencing factors of DED(all P<0.05). OSDI scores were positively correlated with depression, anxiety, and stress scores in the DED group(P<0.05)and across all participants(P<0.05). In the severe DED group, OSDI scores were positively related to depression, anxiety, and stress scores(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The prevalence of DED is high among the teachers. Alcohol consumption, reduced sleep, longer working years, longer VDT usage and longer written working hours are the influencing factors of DED. In severe DED group, DED is highly correlated with depression, anxiety, and stress. We should pay attention to teachers' DED and related physical and mental health problems, and actively prevent and make early diagnosis and treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system in the treatment of difficult choledocholithiasis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 12 patients with difficult choledocholithiasis who underwent ERCP and electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system in Department of Gastroenterology, Jilin People’s Hospital, from May to November 2022. The clinical effect of lithotripsy and lithotomy was observed, and postoperative complications and time of surgical operation were assessed. ResultsAmong the 12 patients, 11 (91.67%) were successfully treated by electrohydraulic lithotripsy under direct view, 9 (75.00%) achieved first-attempt success in lithotripsy, and 11 (91.67%) had complete removal of calculi; 1 patient was found to have stenosis of the bile ducts caused by multiple biliary tract surgeries, and grade Ⅱ intrahepatic bile duct stones above the sites of stenosis were removed under direct view, but there were still residues of grade Ⅲ intrahepatic bile duct stones, which led to the fact that complete calculus removal was not achieved. The mean time of ERCP operation was 91.3±26.2 minutes, including a time of 41.8±22.2 minutes for energy lithotripsy. There were 2 cases of postoperative biliary tract infection which were improved after anti-infective therapy, 2 cases of hyperamylasemia which were not given special treatment, and 3 cases of mild pancreatitis which were improved after symptomatic medication, and there were no complications such as bleeding and perforation. ConclusionERCP combined with electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system is safe, effective, and feasible in the treatment of difficult choledocholithiasis.

Disulfidptosis is a novel pattern of cell death caused by disulfide stress and inadequate NADPH. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a group of metabolic diseases with the main pathological feature of fatty infiltration, and it is closely associated with insulin resistance and genetic susceptibility. Currently, the latest studies have shown that disulfide stress caused by disulfidptosis can result in hepatocyte death, thereby accelerating the progression of NAFLD. This article summarizes and analyzes the latest studies on disulfidptosis in NAFLD, in order to explore the application of disulfidptosis in NAFLD and provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD.

ObjectiveDetection and quantification of RNA synthesis in cells is a widely used technique for monitoring cell viability, health, and metabolic rate.After exposure to environmental stimuli, both the internal reference gene and target gene would be degraded. As a result, it is imperative to consider the accurate capture of nascent RNA and the detection of transcriptional levels of RNA following environmental stimulation. This study aims to create a Click Chemistry method that utilizes its property to capture nascent RNA from total RNA that was stimulated by the environment. MethodsThe new RNA was labeled with 5-ethyluridine (5-EU) instead of uracil, and the azido-biotin medium ligand was connected to the magnetic sphere using a combination of “Click Chemistry” and magnetic bead screening. Then the new RNA was captured and the transcription rate of 16S rRNA was detected by fluorescence molecular beacon (M.B.) and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). ResultsThe bacterial nascent RNA captured by “Click Chemistry” screening can be used as a reverse transcription template to form cDNA. Combined with the fluorescent molecular beacon M.B.1, the synthesis rate of rRNA at 37℃ is 1.2 times higher than that at 15℃. The 16S rRNA gene and cspI gene can be detected by fluorescent quantitative PCR,it was found that the measured relative gene expression changes were significantly enhanced at 25℃ and 16℃ when analyzed with nascent RNA rather than total RNA, enabling accurate detection of RNA transcription rates. ConclusionCompared to other article reported experimental methods that utilize screening magnetic columns, the technical scheme employed in this study is more suitable for bacteria, and the operation steps are simple and easy to implement, making it an effective RNA capture method for researchers.

ObjectiveTo investigate the immunological characteristics of the patients with aplastic anemia (AA) and elevated hemogram parameters treated with Yiqi Yangxue prescription combined with Western medicine and the predictive effects of immunological indexes on elevated hemogram parameters, thus providing a reference for the prediction of the treatment efficacy and the adjustment of the treatment regimen. MethodA retrospective study was conducted, involving 77 AA patients treated with Yiqi Yangxue prescription combined with Western medicine for 6 months in 19 medical institutions including Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from September 2018 to March 2021. The patients were assigned into two groups according to the elevations in hemogram parameters [including hemoglobin (HGB), white blood cell count (WBC), platelet (PLT), and absolute neutrophil count (ANC)] after 6 months of treatment. One group had the elevation <50%, and the other group had the elevation ≥50% compared with the baseline. The clinical and immunological characteristics were compared between the two groups. Result① Compared with the group with HGB elevation<50%, the group with HGB elevation≥50% showed elevated level of CD3+ human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR)+ and increased proportion of patients with T-helper cell type 2 (Th2)<5%, CD8+≥50%, and CD3+HLA-DR+≥9% before treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CD8+≥50% before treatment was the independent influencing factor for HGB elevation ≥50% [odds ratio (OR)=12.000, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.218, 64.928, P<0.01]. ② Compared with the group with WBC elevation<50%, the group with WBC elevation≥50% showed increased proportion of patients with CD3+HLA-DR+<6% and T-box transcription factor (T-bet)≥200% before treatment (P<0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CD3+HLA-DR+<6% (OR=2.998, 95%CI 1.036, 8.680, P<0.05) and T-bet≥200% (OR=3.634, 95%CI 1.076, 12.273, P<0.05) before treatment were independent influencing factors for WBC elevation≥50%. ③ Compared with the group with PLT elevation<50%, the group with PLT elevation≥50% presented lowered Th1 and CD3+HLA-DR+ levels and increased proportion of patients with Th1<12%, CD4+≥6%, and CD3+HLA-DR+<5% before treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CD3+HLA-DR+<5% before treatment was the independent influencing factor for PLT elevation≥50% (OR=16.190, 95%CI of 3.430 to 76.434, P<0.01). ④ Compared with the group with ANC elevation<50%, the group with ANC elevation≥50% showed no significant changes in the hemogram parameters before treatment. ConclusionAs for the AA patients with rapid elevation in HGB, Yiqi Yangxue prescription combined with Western medicine demonstrate significant effects in the patients with Th2<5% and CD3+HLA-DR+≥9%, especially those with CD8+≥50%. As for the AA patients with rapid elevation in WBC, the therapy was particularly effective in the patients with CD3+HLA-DR+<6% and T-bet≥200%. As for the AA patients with rapid growth in PLT, the therapy was particularly effective in the patients with Th1<12% and CD4+≥6%, especially those with CD3+HLA-DR+<5%.
