Acute Gelsemium poisoning is a systemic disease primarily affecting the central nervous system and respiratory symptoms caused by the ingestion of a substantial amount of Gelsemium within a short period. It manifests as sudden onset and rapid progression, primarily caused by accidental ingestion due to misidentification, and posing significant health risks. The compilation of the Technical Plan for Emergency Health Response to Acute Gelsemium Poisoning describes in detail the specialized practice and technical requirements in the process of handling acute Gelsemium poisoning, including accident investigation and management, laboratory testing and identification, in-hospital treatment, and health monitoring. The guidelines clarify key procedures and requirements such as personal protection, investigation elements, etiology determination, medical rescue, and health education. The key to acute Gelsemium poisoning investigation lies in promptly identifying the toxin through exposure history, clinical manifestations, and sample testing. Because there is no specific antidote for Gelsemium poisoning, immediate removal from exposure, rapid elimination of the toxin, and respiratory monitoring are critical on-site rescue measures. Visual identification of food or herbal materials, followed by laboratory testing to determine Gelsemium alkaloids in samples is a rapid effective screening method. These guidelines offer a scientific, objective, and practical framework to support effective emergency responses to acute Gelsemium poisoning incidences.

Radiation-induced skin injury is one of the common adverse reactions of radiotherapy, involving skin, blood vessels, glands, and bones, and may even lead to carcinogenesis. It is characterized by high incidence, long treatment process, and high cost. In recent years, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and their secreted exosomes have become a research hotspot in tissue repair. Exosomes can secrete a variety of cytokines related to wound repair and exhibit various biological functions, including inhibition of oxidative stress, modulation of inflammation, regulation of DNA damage repair, promotion of cell proliferation and migration, reduction of fibrosis, and regulation of the extracellular matrix. Exosomes are currently a major source of cytokines in the field of tissue repair and regeneration. This article reviews the application and therapeutic prospects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes in radiation-induced skin injury, aiming to provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of this condition.

Aim To explore the protective effects of Xiyanping injection against lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced acute lung injury(ALI)in mice,and investi-gate the underlying mechanism.Methods In the LPS-induced ALI mouse model,the protective effect of Xiyanping injection against ALI was evaluated by ob-serving the pathological indicators of lung tissue.Net-work pharmacology and molecular docking were used to explore its mechanism.Western blot method was used to validate the predicted target proteins.Results Xiy-anping injection significantly improved the pathological injury and alleviated inflammatory reactions in lungs of ALI mice.Four active ingredients were identified in Xiyanping injection,namely,14-deoxy-11-oxo-an-drographolide,14-deoxyandrographolide,14-deoxy-12-methoxyandrographolide,and andrographolide-19-β-D-glucoside.A total of 288 corresponding drug targets and 4 960 ALI-related targets were obtained,with 192 genes overlapping.The ten core targets associated with Xiyanping injection were identified as STAT3,EGFR,PIK3R1,MAPK1,PIK3CA,NFKB1,ESR1,MAPK8,JAK2,and FYN.GO enrichment analysis re-vealed 310 biological processes(BP),65 cellular components(CC),and 80 molecular functions(MF)associated with the overlapping genes.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis identified 141 pathways related to ALI,with the top 20 pathways including MAPK,TNF-α,VEGF,cAMP,mTOR,AMPK,NOD,JAK-STAT,IL-17,and NF-κB.Molecular docking results demonstrated strong binding affinity between core tar-gets(MAPK1,MAPK8,NFKB1)and active ingredi-ents(14-deoxy-12-methoxyandrographolide and 14-de-oxyandrographolide).Western blotting showed that medium and high doses of Xiyanping injection signifi-cantly downregulated p38,JNK,ERKl/2,NF-κB p65 protein expression in lung tissue of ALI mice(P＜0.01).Conclusions Xiyanping injection has a cer-tain protective effect against ALI,and the mechanism is related to regulating MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways.

Aim To study the effects of Taohong Siwu Tang(TSD)on serum lipid metabolites in rats with abnormal uterine bleeding(AUB),and to analyze the mechanism of action of TSD in improving lipid metabo-lism disorders in AUB.Methods The rat model of AUB was replicated by the method of incomplete abor-tion with drugs,and the lipid metabolites of serum were detected by applying UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap/MS technology,and combined with the principal com-ponent analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis to screen for differential lipids,the changes of lipids in serum before and after the in-tervention of TSD were clarified.Results A total of 11 differential lipids were screened,mainly phosphati-dyl inositol,phosphatidic acid,phosphatidyl ethanola-mine,phosphatidyl serine,sterol lipids,ceramide,acrylolipids and fatty acids.The screened differential lipids all tended to regress to normal after the adminis-tration of TSD intervention.Conclusion Improvement of AUB by TSD may be related to lipid metabolism such as phosphatidic acid,phosphatidyl inositol,phos-phatidyl ethanolamine,phosphatidyl serine,and ce-ramide.

Objective:To investigate the effects of using a high monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and low carbohydrate formula on blood glucose levels and diarrhea treatment effects in critically ill neurological patients.Methods:A self-controlled before-and-after study design was employed, with 13 patients admitted to the neurology intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from November to December 2023, who were treated with a high MUFA and low carbohydrate formula [Glucerna enteral nutrition (EN) preparation]. Changes in blood glucose parameters within 7 days before and after the use of Glucerna EN preparation were analyzed, including standard deviation ( SD) of blood glucose, mean blood glucose (MG), median blood glucose, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), largest amplitude of glycemic excursions (LAGE), coefficient of variation ( CV) of blood glucose, the incidence of hyperglycemia (> 7.8 mmol/L) and severe hyperglycemia (> 13.9 mmol/L), and daily insulin dose. Changes in total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (Hb), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cell count (WBC) were observed before and after intervention. Improvement in diarrhea symptoms, Hart diarrhea score, Bristol Stool classification score, and incontinence dermatitis classification were also analyzed before and after the use of Glucerna EN preparation. Results:A total of 13 critically ill neurological patients were enrolled, among whom 9 patients had a history of hyperglycemia and 8 patients had diarrhea symptoms. After intervention with Glucerna, the patients' SD of blood glucose, MG, median blood glucose, MAGE, LAGE, CV of blood glucose, incidence of hyperglycemia, incidence of severe hyperglycemia, and daily insulin dose were all lower than those before the intervention [ SD of blood glucose (mmol/L): 1.83±1.11 vs. 2.10±1.13, MG (mmol/L): 8.87±2.03 vs. 9.75±1.37, median blood glucose (mmol/L): 9.12±1.67 vs. 10.17±0.48, MAGE (mmol/L): 0.66±0.31 vs. 0.78±0.32, LAGE (mmol/L): 4.95±3.64 vs. 5.58±3.10, CV of blood glucose: 16.00% (11.00%, 28.50%) vs. 18.00% (12.50%, 27.50%), hyperglycemia incidence: 47.31% vs. 74.66%, severe hyperglycemia incidence: 6.08% vs. 6.71%, daily insulin dose (U): 5.25 (0.00, 32.59) vs. 20.76 (0.00, 66.88)], with a significant decrease in daily insulin dose after the intervention ( P < 0.05); TP, ALB, Hb, CRP and WBC showed no significant changes before and after the intervention with Glucerna EN preparation. The improvement time of diarrhea symptoms after intervention was (3.50±1.41) days, and the Hart diarrhea score on the seventh day after intervention (4.88±3.48 vs. 10.00±3.38) and the Bristol Stool classification score on the third and seventh days after intervention (5.87±0.35, 5.50±0.53 vs. 6.50±0.53) were significantly lower than before the intervention (all P < 0.05). Before the intervention with Glucerna EN preparation, the classification of incontinence dermatitis was mainly classified as Grade 2 severity (71.43%); after the intervention, it significantly improved by the seventh day, with Grade 1 being the main classification (57.14%). Conclusion:The high MUFA and low carbohydrate formula has a positive effect on blood glucose control and diarrhea treatment in critically ill neurological patients.

Wnt/β-catenin is a signaling pathway associated with embryonic development, organ formation, cancer, and fibrosis. Its activation can repair kidney damage during acute kidney injury (AKI) and accelerate the occurrence of renal fibrosis after chronic kidney disease (CKD). Interestingly, p53 has also been found as a key modulator in AKI and CKD in recent years. Meantime, some studies have found crosstalk between Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways and p53, but more evidence is required on whether they have synergistic effects in renal disease progression. This article reviews the role and therapeutic targets of Wnt/β-catenin and p53 in AKI and CKD and proposes for the first time that Wnt/β-catenin and p53 have a synergistic effect in the treatment of renal injury.

Objective:To investigate the spectrum and antimicrobial resistance of major pathogens causing nosocomial infections in China during 2020-2021.Methods:A total of 1 311 non-duplicated nosocomial pathogens causing bloodstream infections (BSI, n=670), hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP, n=394) and intra-abdominal infections (IAI, n=297) were collected from 10 teaching hospitals across China. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of clinical common strains were determined using agar dilution or broth microdilution method. Interpretation of reults followed the CLSI M100-Ed33 criteria, with data analysis conducted using WHONET-5.6 software. The Chi-square test was used to compare rates. Results:The most prevalent pathogens causing BSI were Escherichia coli (21.2%, 142/670), Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.9%, 100/670) and Staphylococcus aureus (11.5%, 77/670); the most prevalent pathogens causing HAP were K. pneumoniae (27.7%, 109/394), Acinetobacter baumanii (22.1%, 87/394) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (18.3%, 72/394). IN IAI, E. coli (24.3%, 60/247), Enterococcus faecium and K. pneumoniae (both 14.6%, 36/247) were dominated. All S. aureus strains were susceptible to tigecycline, linezolid, daptomycin and glycopeptides. Rates of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS) were 36.5% (42/115) and 74.5% (38/51), respectively. The rate of vancomycin-resistant E. faecium and E. faecalis was 3.3% (3/90) and 1.9% (1/53), respectively. The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) was 23.7% (58/245) in K. pneumonia and 60.5% (130/215) in E. coli.The rate of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumonia and E. coli was 29.8% (73/245) and 4.2% (9/215), respectively; the percentage of tigecycline-resistant K. pneumonia and E. coli was 1.6% (4/245) and 0, respectively; the rate of colistin-resistant K. pneumonia and E. coli was 1.6% (4/245) and 2.8% (6/215), respectively; the percentage of ceftazidime/avibactam-resistant K. pneumonia and E. coli was 2.0% (5/245) and 2.3% (5/215), respectively. The rate of carbapenem-resistant A. baumanii and P. aeruginosa was 76.7% (125/163) and 28.4% (33/116), respectively. A. baumanii showed low susceptibility to most antimicrobial agents except colistin (98.8%, 161/163) and tigecycline (89.6%, 146/163). Colistin, amikacin and ceftazidime/avibactam demonstrated high antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa with susceptility rates of 99.1% (115/116), 94.0% (109/116) and 83.6% (97/116), respectively. Conclusions:The major pathogens of nosocomial infections were K. pneumonia, E. coli, A. baumanii, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. Nosocomial Gram-negative pathogens exhibited high susceptibilities to tigecycline, colistin and ceftazidime/avibactam. Antimicrobial resistance in A. baumannii remains a significant challenge. The increasing prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales underscores the urgency of antibiotics rational applications and hospital infection controls.
