Detection of poor-water-soluble substances typically requires an organic solvent containing solution,and therefore,the biosensors that can operate in such conditions are highly promising for practical applications.However,most existing biosensors have been developed in aqueous solution and it is hard to work effectively in organic solvent systems.In this work,we uncovered that the G-quadruplex(G4)/hemin DNAzyme(G4HD)could be strongly reactivated by NH4 in organic solvents at concentration up to 30％,and the activity was significantly higher than that in aqueous solutions containing K+.Based on this discovery,a biosensing system was developed for small molecule in 40％methanol by coupling G4HD with our previously identified RNA-cleaving DNAzyme(E3).This system comprised an ATP-activated aptazyme that was made of E3 and a G4HD that was activated by the cleavage product of the aptazyme.By using a manmade pipette tip filter to separate the reaction products,the subsequent colorimetric reaction of the G4HD could be triggered.This biosensing system enabled the visualization of target molecules in organic cosolvents without any other instruments.The activable DNAzyme-cascade sensing system had potential in point-of-care detection of poor-water-soluble pollutants,thereby enhancing the practical values of functional nucleic acid-based biosensors in real-world detection conditions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) on the occurrence, development of psoriasis-like inflammation in mice, and the relative immune mechanisms. MethodsHealthy C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (Control), psoriasis model group (IMQ), and HDAC3 inhibitor RGFP966-treated psoriasis model group (IMQ+RGFP966). One day prior to the experiment, the back hair of the mice was shaved. After a one-day stabilization period, the mice in Control group was treated with an equal amount of vaseline, while the mice in IMQ group was treated with imiquimod (62.5 mg/d) applied topically on the back to establish a psoriasis-like inflammation model. The mice in IMQ+RGFP966 group received intervention with a high dose of the HDAC3-selective inhibitor RGFP966 (30 mg/kg) based on the psoriasis-like model. All groups were treated continuously for 5 d, during which psoriasis-like inflammation symptoms (scaling, erythema, skin thickness), body weight, and mental status were observed and recorded, with photographs taken for documentation. After euthanasia, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to assess the effect of RGFP966 on the skin tissue structure of the mice, and skin thickness was measured. The mRNA and protein expression levels of HDAC3 in skin tissues were detected using reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot (WB), respectively. Flow cytometry was employed to analyze neutrophils in peripheral blood and lymph nodes, CD4⁺ T lymphocytes, CD8⁺ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood, and IL-17A secretion by peripheral blood CD4⁺ T lymphocytes. Additionally, spleen CD4⁺ T lymphocyte expression of HDAC3, CCR6, CCR8, and IL-17A secretion levels were analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the localization and expression levels of HDAC3, IL-17A, and IL-10 in skin tissues. ResultsCompared with the Control group, the IMQ group exhibited significant psoriasis-like inflammation, characterized by erythema, scaling, and skin wrinkling. Compared with the IMQ group, RGFP966 exacerbated psoriasis-like inflammatory symptoms, leading to increased hyperkeratosis. The psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) skin symptom scores were higher in the IMQ group than those in the Control group, and the scores were further elevated in the IMQ+RGFP966 group compared to the IMQ group. Skin thickness measurements showed a trend of IMQ+RGFP966>IMQ>Control. The numbers of neutrophils in the blood and lymph nodes increased sequentially in the Control, IMQ, and IMQ+RGFP966 groups, with a similar trend observed for CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T lymphocytes in the blood. In skin tissues, compared with the Control group, the mRNA and protein levels of HDAC3 decreased in the IMQ group, but RGFP966 did not further reduce these expressions. HDAC3 was primarily located in the nucleus. Compared with the Control group, the nuclear HDAC3 content decreased in the skin tissues of the IMQ group, and RGFP966 further reduced nuclear HDAC3. Compared with the Control and IMQ groups, RGFP966 treatment decreased HDAC3 expression in splenic CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells. RGFP966 treatment increased the expression of CCR6 and CCR8 in splenic CD4⁺ T cells and enhanced IL-17A secretion by peripheral blood and splenic CD4⁺ T lymphocytes. Additionally, compared with the IMQ group, RGFP966 reduced IL-10 protein levels and upregulated IL-17A expression in skin tissues. ConclusionRGFP966 exacerbates psoriatic-like inflammatory responses by inhibiting HDAC3, increasing the secretion of the cytokine IL-17A, and upregulating the expression of chemokines CCR8 and CCR6.

mechanism.Methods:Thirty Wistar rats were selected and the precancerous liver lesion model was established using the modified Solt-Faber method.The rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,and IGBR group,and there were 10 rats in each group.The morphology of liver tissue of the rats in various groups were observed;the liver weights,liver indexes and liver regeneration degrees of the rats in various groups were measured;HE staining was used to observe the pathomorphology of liver tissue of the rats in various groups;immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expression of glutathione-S-transferase(GST)-Pi protein in liver tissue of the rats in various groups;colorimetric method was used to detect the activities of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(γ-GT),catalase(CAT),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)and glutathione S-transferase(GST),and the level of malondialdehyde(MDA)in liver tissue and mitochondria of the rats in various groups;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),collagen type Ⅰ alpha 1 chain(ColⅠα1),matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)13,MMP2,tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP)1,TIMP2,transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1),TGF-β1 receptor(TβR),mothers against decapentaplegic homolog(Smad)2/3,Smad4,and Smad7 proteins in liver tissue of the rats in various groups.Results:Compared with sham operation group,the liver weight,liver index and degree of liver regeneration of the rats in model group were increased(P<0.05);compared with model group,the liver weight and liver index of the rats in IGBR group showed a decreasing trend,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The HE staining results showed that the liver lobule structure in sham operation group was intact and clear,with large hepatocytes,abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm,and hepatocytes arranged in single cords radiating from the central vein;there were irregular hepatic sinusoids between plates,with only a small amount of collagen fibers and inflammatory cell infiltration in the portal area,and no degeneration or necrosis of hepatocytes.In model group,the normal arrangement of hepatocytes disappeared,the liver lobule structure was disrupted,small cell hyperplasia(mainly oval cells)was observed in the portal area,with massive collagen deposition and significant fibrous tissue hyperplasia in the fibrous septum;hepatocytes showed extensive degenerative edema,hydropic degeneration or even ballooning degeneration and focal necrosis;basophilic hepatocytes formed proliferative areas with clear cytoplasm,centrally located nuclei and 1-2 prominent nucleoli;glassy hepatocytes with enlarged nuclei and pale transparent cytoplasm were also observed.In IGBR group,the liver lobule structure was basically preserved,with reduced inflammatory lesions,mild edema,and scattered spotty or focal necrosis;nuclear atypia and pathological mitotic figures or binucleation were observed.The immunohistochemistry results showed GST-Pi protein positive foci with brown-yellow cytoplasmic staining in round or oval nodules.The GST-Pi protein positive foci were observed in liver tissue of the rats in model group,indicating successful establishment of precancerous liver lesion model.The scattered GST-Pi protein positive foci were observed in IGBR group,which were significantly reduced compared with model group.Compared with sham operation group,the activity of γ-GT in liver tissue of the rats in model group was increased(P<0.05);compared with model group,the activity of γ-GT in liver tissue of the rats in IGBR group was decreased(P<0.05).Compared with sham operation group,the GST activity and MDA level in liver tissue and liver mitochondria of the rats in model group were increased(P<0.05),while the activities of SOD,CAT,and GSH-Px were decreased(P<0.05);compared with model group,the GST activity and MDA level in liver tissue and liver mitochondria of the rats in IGBR group were decreased(P<0.05),while the activities of SOD,CAT,and GSH-PX were increased(P<0.05).The Western blotting results showed that compared with sham operation group,the expression levels of α-SMA,ColⅠα1,TIMP1,and TIMP2 proteins in liver tissue of the rats in model group were increased(P<0.05),while the expression levels of MMP13 and MMP2 proteins were decreased(P<0.05),and the ratios of TIMP1/MMP13 and TIMP2/MMP2 were increased(P<0.05);compared with model group,the expression levels of α-SMA,ColⅠα1,and TIMP2 proteins in liver tissue of the rats in IGBR group were decreased(P<0.05),while the expression levels of MMP13 and MMP2 proteins were increased(P<0.05),and the ratios of TIMP1/MMP13 and TIMP2/MMP2 were decreased(P<0.05).Compared with sham operation group,the expression levels of TGF-β1 and Smad2/3 proteins in liver tissue of the rats in model group were increased(P<0.05);compared with model group,the expression levels of TGF-β1,Smad2/3 and Smad 4 proteins in liver tissue of the rats in IGBR group were decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion:IGBR can inhibit precancerous liver lesions and liver fibrosis in rats,and its mechanism may be related to enhancing the antioxidant capacity of liver tissue,inhibiting TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway and regulating TIMP/MMP balance.

Objective:To report the nationwide surveillance results of pathogenic profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Gram-positive bloodstream infections in China in 2023.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-posttive bacteria from blood cultures were collected in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）during January to December 2023. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the dilution method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. Statistical analyses were conducted using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:A total of 4 385 Gram-positive bacterial isolates were obtained from 60 participating center. The top five pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 544，35.2%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=1 441，32.9%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=574，13.1%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=385，8.8%），and α-hemolytic Streptococci（ n=187，4.3%）. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）was 26.2%（405/1 544）and 69.8%（1 006/1 441），respectively. Notably，all Staphylococci remained susceptible to glycopeptide or daptomycin. Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated excellent susceptibility（>97.0%）to cephalobiol，rifampicin，trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline，tigecycline，and eravacycline. No Enterococcus exhibiting resistance to linezolid were detected. Glycopeptide resistance was uncommon but more frequent in Enterococcus faecium（resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin：both 1.7%）compared to Enterococcus faecalis（both 0.3%）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS exhibited significant regional variations across the country（ χ2=17.674 and 148.650，respectively，both P<0.001）. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci were detected in central China. Institutional comparison demonstrated higher prevalence of MRSA（ χ2=14.111， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.828， P=0.028）in provincial hospitals than that in municipal hospitals. Socioeconomic analysis identified elevated detection rates of both MRSA（ χ2=18.986， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.477， P=0.034）in less developed regions（per capita GDP
