Objective:To explore the mechanism of astaxanthin improving renal damage in diabetic mice by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.Methods:C57BL/6J adult male mice (8 weeks, 22-24 g) were provided by Nanjing Junke Biological Co.,Ltd. The mice were divided into control group (mice raised under normal conditions and given phosphate buffered saline injection, n=15), model group (DN mouse model established as mentioned above, n=15), and astaxanthin group (on the basis of model mice,10 mg/kg body weight dose of astaxanthin was given, n=15). The serum urea nitrogen, serum creatinine and 24 h urine protein levels of mice were detected by biochemical kits. The levels of serum inflammatory factors in mice were detected by ELISA. Mesangial matrix expansion and fibrosis in mice were observed by renal histological analysis. Glomerular podocytes were analyzed by TUNEL detection and immunohistochemical staining. Nephrin and CD2AP expression were analyzed by Western blot.The expression of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was analyzed by Western blot. Results:The levels of serum urea nitrogen, serum creatinine and 24h urinary protein in model group were higher than those in control group ( P<0.05), but the levels of serum urea nitrogen, serum creatinine and 24h urinary protein in astaxanthin group were lower than those in model group ( P<0.05). The serum levels of TNF-α,1L-1β and 1L-6 in model group were higher than those in control group ( P<0.05), while the levels of TNF-α,1L-1β and 1L-6 in astaxanthin group were lower than those in model group ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the model group mainly showed different degrees of pancreatic islet lesions and vacuolar degeneration under light microscope ( P<0.05). HE staining showed glomerular sclerosis and dilatation, capillary lumen shrinkage, diffuse mesangial matrix dilatation, and peripheral capillary thickening and hardening ( P<0.05). PAS staining showed an increase in PAS-positive substances (purple plaques) in the model group of mice ( P<0.05), indicating glycogen accumulation in diabetic glomeruli. Masson staining showed accumulation of type Ⅳ collagen and increased fibrosis (blue stained area) in the kidney of the model group ( P<0.05). Astaxanthin treatment can significantly improve these diabetic induced histopathological changes ( P<0.05). Compared with control group,mesangial matrix expansion and fibrosis were increased in model group ( P<0.05), and decreased in astaxanthin group ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the apoptosis rate of podocyte in model group was increased ( P<0.05) ,while that in astaxanthin group was decreased ( P<0.05). The number of WT-1 positive podocytes in model group was lower than that in model group ( P<0.05), and the number of WT-1 positive podocytes in astaxanthin group was higher than that in model group ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, Nephrin and CD2AP proteins in the model group were decreased ( P<0.05), and the expressions of Nephrin and CD2AP proteins in astaxanthin group were increased ( P<0.05). The protein expressions of p85, p-Akt Ser473 and P-mtor Ser2448 in model group were increased compared with those in control group ( P<0.05), while the protein expressions of p85, P-Akt Ser473 and P-mtor Ser2448 in astaxanthin group were decreased compared with those in model group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Astaxanthin significantly improves kidney damage in diabetic mice by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,which manifests as inhibiting renal cell lesions and reducing inflammation.

Purpose This study aims to analyze the clinical,pathological,and molecular genetic characteristics of nodal follicular helper T-cell lymphoma,follicular type(nTFHL-F).Methods 7 cases of nTFHL-F were re-viewed.Clinical data were collected,tissue morphology was summarized,and immunohistochemical staining and mo-lecular testing were performed.Results The median age of patients was 62 years with a male-to-female ratio of 6:1.The initial symptoms included neck lymphadenectasis in 6 cases and abdominal discomfort in one.Six cases were in ad-vanced stages,while 1 case was in the localized stage.The tumors exhibited a vague,irregular follicular nodular pat-tern,without significant polymorphic inflammatory background or high endothelial vascular proliferation.Five cases showed a progressive transformation resembling germinal center pattern,and two cases exhibited a follicular lymphoma-like growth pattern.Tumor cells presented three distinct morphologies:centrocyte-like appearance,monocytoid B cell-like appearance,and atypical cells with abundant,transparent cytoplasm.Tumor cells expressed at least three follicu-lar T-cell markers.Testing for ITK::SYK gene fusion was negative in all cases(0/7).Next generation sequencing i-dentified mutations in TET2 gene in two cases(2/2),the RHOA gene in one case(1/2),and VAV1 gene in one case(1/2).The follow-up duration ranged from 2 to 64 months,with three deaths(3/7),and a median survival time of 37 months.Conclusion nTFHL-F predominantly occurs in middle-aged to elderly males,presenting with advanced clinical stages,and has a poor prognosis.nTFHL-F is closely associated with nodal follicular helper T-cell lymphoma,angioimmunoblastic type,and mya coexist within the same individual.

Debates persist regarding the efficacy and safety of azvudine, particularly its real-world outcomes. This study involved patients aged ≥60 years who were admitted to 25 hospitals in mainland China with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between December 1, 2022, and February 28, 2023. Efficacy outcomes were all-cause mortality during hospitalization, the proportion of patients discharged with recovery, time to nucleic acid-negative conversion (T _NANC), time to symptom improvement (T _SI), and time of hospital stay (T _HS). Safety was also assessed. Among the 5884 participants identified, 1999 received azvudine, and 1999 matched controls were included after exclusion and propensity score matching. Azvudine recipients exhibited lower all-cause mortality compared with controls in the overall population (13.3% vs. 17.1%, RR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.90; P = 0.001) and in the severe subgroup (25.7% vs. 33.7%; RR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.66-0.88; P < 0.001). A higher proportion of patients discharged with recovery, and a shorter T _NANC were associated with azvudine recipients, especially in the severe subgroup. The incidence of adverse events in azvudine recipients was comparable to that in the control group (2.3% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.170). In conclusion, azvudine showed efficacy and safety in older patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the SARS-CoV-2 omicron wave in China.

Objective:To explore facilitators and impediments to home glucose management for patients undergoing bariatric surgery based on the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR), so as to inform the development of a glucose management pathway after bariatric surgery.Methods:This study was a descriptive phenomenological study. Using purposive sampling method, seven healthcare professionals and 11 patients undergoing bariatric surgery from the General Surgery·Metabolic and Bariatric Center of China-Japan Friendship Hospital were selected from November 2023 to January 2024 for semi-structured interviews. Targeted content analysis was used for the data analysis.Results:A total of six facilitators and six impediments related to the five dimensions of CFIR were distilled. Facilitators included the personalized glucose management program, regular long-term follow-up, multidisciplinary management team, support from family and friends, complication distress, and information technology platform. Impediments involved patterned follow-up, poor accessibility and convenience of resources, role conflict, herd mentality, poor behavioral compliance, and low utilization of digital equipment.Conclusions:Glucose management needs vary in patients after bariatric surgery, with a gradual decline in management compliance. Healthcare professionals should build an "Internet +"home glucose management service model, carry out targeted multidisciplinary team follow-up, and promote the formation of a standardized pathway for patients' home glucose management.
