[Objective] To investigate the differences in metabolomics between apheresis platelets stored at 4℃ and at 22℃ with agitation, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the cold storage of apheresis platelets. [Methods] Samples were collected at four time points (d1, d5, d10, d15) for platelets stored at 4℃ (experimental group) and two time points (d1, d5) for platelets stored at 22℃ with agitation (control group). Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology was used to detect changes in platelet metabolome levels under different storage conditions. Platelet functional activity was assessed by thromboelastography (TEG) for maximum amplitude (MA) values and flow cytometry for CD62P activation rates. [Results] Metabolites in the glycolytic pathway, key metabolites in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (citrate, α-ketoglutarate), metabolites in the purine metabolism pathway (adenine, inosine monophosphate, guanine, etc.) and amino acid metabolites significantly decreased by d5 in the control group, whereas they remained stable in the experimental group. The content of fatty acid metabolites, such as prostaglandin G2, 13(S)-HOTrE, and linoleic acid, significantly increased in the control group. Statistically significant differences in MA values were observed between the two groups at d1 and d5 (P<0.05). However, in the experimental group, as the storage time extended, the MA values at d10 and d15 showed no significant difference compared to the control group at d5 (P>0.05). The CD62P activation rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Additionally, the CD62P activation rate of platelets in the 22℃ group increased rapidly from d1, while it rose gradually in the 4 ℃ group. [Conclusion] Platelets stored at 4 ℃ exhibit more stable metabolic activity and slower functional deterioration, which is beneficial for extending the effective storage period of platelets.

Occupational noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an irreversible sensorineural hearing loss that severely endangers workers’ health, making early screening crucial. This article reviewed the research progress on early screening methods for occupational NIHL, introduced the testing mechanisms of three core screening methods—tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions, and extended high-frequency audiometry —and summarized their clinical application advantages and limitations. It is proposed that multimodal combined detection (e.g., the combination of tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions, and extended high-frequency audiometry) can significantly improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of early screening. Meanwhile, future studies with prospective cohort design are encouraged to verify the long-term monitoring value of each method and to strengthen the joint development of screening technologies with cutting-edge approaches such as machine learning, in order to further improve screening efficiency and provide stronger protection for workers’ hearing health.

ObjectiveTo observe the mechanism of Jiawei Guizhi Fuling decoction (JGFD) in alleviating sciatic nerve injury in painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) rats by regulating mitophagy through the PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin signaling pathway. MethodThe PDPN model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). After modeling, the rats were randomly divided into JGFD high, medium, and low dose groups (JGFD-H, JGFD-M, JGFD-L; 39.6, 19.8, 9.9 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively), a positive drug group (lipoic acid capsules, LA; 50 mg·kg-1·d-1), and a model group (PDPN). A blank control group (CON) was established. Drug intervention was administered continuously for 8 weeks after modeling. Measurements included body weight and fasting blood glucose of PDPN rats at weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8, mechanical pain threshold and thermal pain threshold at weeks 0 and 8, and motor nerve conduction velocity at week 8. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the morphology of sciatic nerve tissue. The ultrastructure of mitochondria and autophagosomes was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Western blot was performed to detect the protein expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, p62, Beclin-1, and LC3 in sciatic nerve tissue. Additionally, real-time quantitative PCR (Real-time PCR) was performed to detect the mRNA expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, p62, Beclin-1, and LC3 in sciatic nerve tissue. ResultCompared with the CON group, the PDPN group showed a significant decrease in body weight at all time points, a significant increase in fasting blood glucose, significantly shortened mechanical pain and thermal pain thresholds, and significantly reduced motor nerve conduction velocity. The protein and mRNA expression of PINK1, Parkin, Beclin-1, and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3(LC3) in sciatic nerve tissue was significantly reduced, while p62 protein and mRNA expression was significantly increased (P<0.01). Pathological changes included edema of sciatic nerve fibers, segmental demyelination, loose and disordered arrangement of the myelin sheath layers, significant swelling of mitochondria, reduced electron density, disappearance of cristae, and absence of typical autophagosome and autolysosome structures. Compared with the PDPN group, each JGFD dose group showed a significant increase in body weight and a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose (P<0.05, P<0.01). The mechanical pain threshold and thermal pain threshold were significantly prolonged, and motor nerve conduction velocity was significantly increased across all JGFD and LA groups. The expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, Beclin-1, and LC3 proteins and mRNA in sciatic nerve tissue were significantly increased, while p62 protein and mRNA expression levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Pathological damage to the sciatic nerve was alleviated to varying degrees, with a relatively intact myelin sheath morphology and intact or slightly edematous outer mitochondrial membrane. Autophagolysosome structures were observed in the JGFD-M and JGFD-H groups. Compared with the LA group, the JGFD-H group showed a significant increase in body weight, a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose, a significant increase in motor nerve conduction velocity, a significant increase in PINK1 protein expression and PINK1, Parkin, and Beclin-1 mRNA expression in sciatic nerve tissue, and a significant decrease in p62 mRNA expression (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionJGFD may alleviate sciatic nerve injury in PDPN rats by activating mitophagy through the regulation of the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the surgical treatment effect and prognostic factors of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:This is an ambispective cohort study. From August 2005 to December 2022,data of 510 patients who diagnosed with hilar cholangiocarcinoma and underwent surgical resection at the Hepatobiliary Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were retrospectively collected. In the cohort,there were 324 males and 186 females,with an age of ( M (IQR)) 63(13)years (range:25 to 85 years). The liver function at admission was Child-Pugh A (343 cases,67.3%) and Child-Pugh B (167 cases,32.7%). Three hundred and seventy-two(72.9%) patients had jaundice symptoms and the median total bilirubin was 126.3(197.6) μmol/L(range: 5.4 to 722.8 μmol/L) at admission. Two hundred and fourty-seven cases (48.4%) were treated with percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage or endoscopic nasobiliary drainage before operation. The median bilirubin level in the drainage group decreased from 186.4 μmol/L to 85.5 μmol/L before operation. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to identify the influencing factors for R0 resection,and Cox regression was used to construct multivariate prediction models for overall survival(OS) and disease-free survival(DFS). Results:Among 510 patients who underwent surgical resection,Bismuth-Corlett type Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients accounted for 71.8%,among which 86.1% (315/366) underwent hemi-hepatectomy,while 81.9% (118/144) underwent extrahepatic biliary duct resection alone in Bismuch-Corlett type Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients. The median OS time was 22.8 months, and the OS rates at 1-,3-,5-and 10-year were 72.2%,35.6%,24.8% and 11.0%,respectively. The median DFS time was 15.2 months,and the DFS rates was 66.0%,32.4%,20.9% and 11.0%,respectively. The R0 resection rate was 64.5% (329/510), and the OS rates of patients with R0 resection at 1-,3-,5-and 10-year were 82.5%, 48.6%, 34.4%, 15.2%,respectively. The morbidity of Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ-Ⅴ complications was 26.1%(133/510) and the 30-day mortality was 4.3% (22/510). Multivariate Logistic regression indicated that Bismuth-Corlett type Ⅰ-Ⅲ ( P=0.009), hemi-hepatectomy and extended resection ( P=0.001),T1 and T2 patients without vascular invasion (T2 vs. T1: OR=1.43 (0.61-3.35), P=0.413;T3 vs. T1: OR=2.57 (1.03-6.41), P=0.010;T4 vs. T1, OR=3.77 (1.37-10.38), P<0.01) were more likely to obtain R0 resection. Preoperative bilirubin,Child-Pugh grade,tumor size,surgical margin,T stage,N stage,nerve infiltration and Edmondson grade were independent prognostic factors for OS and DFS of hilar cholangiocarcinoma patients without distant metastasis. Conclusions:Radical surgical resection is necessary to prolong the long-term survival of hilar cholangiocarcinoma patients. Hemi-hepatectomy and extended resection,regional lymph node dissection and combined vascular resection if necessary,can improve R0 resection rate.
