Objective To evaluate the advantages of powder-liquid double-chamber bag products compared with traditional powder injection. Methods The systematic review method was used to collect the literature on powder-liquid double-chamber bag, extract common evaluation indicators, evaluate the use value of powder-liquid double-chamber bag products, and conduct a comprehensive comparison with traditional powder injection products. Results A total of 23 articles were included in the literature. The effectiveness indicators used for evaluation were the stability of the liquid medicine, the accuracy of the preparation concentration, and the residual amount of the liquid medicine; the safety indicators were the incidence of insoluble particles and the incidence of punctures and scratches. The economic indicators were preparation cost, occupied volume of preparation supplies, waste weight, hospitalization cost and incidence of blood infection. The applicability indicators were preparation time, average occupation of medical staff, packaging weight and storage and transportation volume, environmental adaptability, and ease of waste disposal. Accessibility indicators are the number of manufacturers, raw material supply capacity, and patient affordability. Through the evaluation of literature evidence, it was found that the stability and concentration accuracy of the powder-liquid double-chamber bag were higher than those of the traditional powder injection, and the domestic supply had been achieved. The double-chamber bag method can reduce the infusion reaction and shorten the preparation time of the liquid medicine. Conclusion Compared with traditional powder injectabler products, powder-liquid double-chamber bags have advantages in the dimensions of effectiveness, safety, economy, suitability and innovation, and the accessibility dimension meets the requirements.

Psoriasis is an incurable chronic inflammatory disease that requires new interventions. Here, we found that fibroblasts exacerbate psoriasis progression by promoting macrophage recruitment via CCL2 secretion by single-cell multi-omics analysis. The natural small molecule celastrol was screened to interfere with the secretion of CCL2 by fibroblasts and improve the psoriasis-like symptoms in both murine and cynomolgus monkey models. Mechanistically, celastrol directly bound to the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) β-chain and abolished its binding to the transcription factor c-Jun in the nucleus, which in turn inhibited CCL2 production by skin fibroblasts, blocked fibroblast-macrophage crosstalk, and ameliorated psoriasis progression. Notably, fibroblast-specific LRP1 knockout mice exhibited a significant reduction in psoriasis like inflammation. Taken together, from clinical samples and combined with various mouse models, we revealed the pathogenesis of psoriasis from the perspective of fibroblast-macrophage crosstalk, and provided a foundation for LRP1 as a novel potential target for psoriasis treatment.

Gelsemium elegans (G. elegans) is an extremely poisonous plant that is widely distributed in southern China and southeastern Asia. G. elegans poisoning events occur frequently in southern China, and are therefore an urgent public health problem requiring multidisciplinary action. However, the toxic components and toxicological mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we describe a systematic investigation on the toxic components of G. elegans, resulting in the isolation and identification of 120 alkaloids. Based on acute toxicity screening, the structure-toxicity relationship of Gelsemium alkaloids was proposed for the first time. Moreover, gelsedine- and humantenine-type alkaloids were detected in the clinical blood sample, and were confirmed to be causative in the poisoning. The most toxic compound, gelsenicine (1), had selective inhibitory effects toward ventral respiratory group (VRG) neurons in the medulla, which is the main brain region controlling respiration in the central nervous system. Gelsenicine (1) strongly inhibited the firing of action potentials in VRG neurons through its ability to stimulate GABA_A receptors, the main receptors involved in inhibitory neurotransmission. Application of GABA_A receptor antagonists successively reversed action potential firing in gelsenicine (1)-treated VRG neurons. Importantly, the GABA_A receptor antagonists securinine and flumazenil significantly increased the survival of poisoned animals. Our findings provide insight into the components and mechanisms of G. elegans toxicity, and should assist the development of effective emergency treatments for G. elegans poisoning.

This study aimed to comprehensively examine the association of gallstones, cholecystectomy, and cancer risk. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to estimate the observational associations of gallstones and cholecystectomy with cancer risk, using data from a nationwide cohort involving 239 799 participants. General and gender-specific two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was further conducted to assess the causalities of the observed associations. Observationally, a history of gallstones without cholecystectomy was associated with a high risk of stomach cancer (adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=2.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.50-4.28), liver and bile duct cancer (aOR=2.46, 95% CI 1.17-5.16), kidney cancer (aOR=2.04, 95% CI 1.05-3.94), and bladder cancer (aOR=2.23, 95% CI 1.01-5.13) in the general population, as well as cervical cancer (aOR=1.69, 95% CI 1.12-2.56) in women. Moreover, cholecystectomy was associated with high odds of stomach cancer (aOR=2.41, 95% CI 1.29-4.49), colorectal cancer (aOR=1.83, 95% CI 1.18-2.85), and cancer of liver and bile duct (aOR=2.58, 95% CI 1.11-6.02). MR analysis only supported the causal effect of gallstones on stomach, liver and bile duct, kidney, and bladder cancer. This study added evidence to the causal effect of gallstones on stomach, liver and bile duct, kidney, and bladder cancer, highlighting the importance of cancer screening in individuals with gallstones.

The dysplastic ( n=3 ears), aplastic( n=5 ears) cochlear nerves and dysplastic facial nerves ( n=3 ears) were found. Conclusion:The PTCD patients usually present severe hearing loss, developmental delay, hypotonia, and facioplegia. The flattening of the ventral pons and the dorsal upper pons cap-like bulging usually with duplicated internal auditory canal and severe facial and auditory nerves dysplasia are its imaging features.

Objective To explore the clinical significance and to investigate the expression of TOMM40L in the tis-sue of triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC).Methods The expression of TOMM40L in TNBC tissues and normal tissues was analyzed with TCGA and UALCAN databases.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis and Nomogram model were used to evaluate the prognostic value of TOMM40L in TNBC patients.Furthermore,the ex-pression of TOMM40L in breast cancer cell lines was evaluated using Western blot analysis and quantitative real-time PCR.Specific siRNA knockdown was performed to evaluate the migration,and cell proliferation of TOMM40L.The potential signaling pathways of TOMM40L were identified by GO and KEGG and GSEA.Results TOMM40L was highly expressed in the TNBC compared to non-TNBC tumor tissues(P＜0.001).TOMM40L levels were en-hanced in TNBC cell lines as compared to other non-TNBC cell lines.CCK-8 and Transwell assay demonstrated that TOMM40L knockdown reduced the proliferation and migration of TNBCcell lines.Functional enrichment analysis showed that TOMM40L was involved in glucose metabolism-related pathways.Conclusions The expression of TOMM40L is increased in TNBC and is correlated with poor prognosis.TOMM40L may promote TNBC migration and proliferation.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is one of the major animal infectious diseases in the world. All cloven-hoofed animals are susceptible to FMD. Vaccination is still the first choice for the prevention and control of FMD. mRNA vaccines can be rapidly designed, synthesized, and produced on a large scale in vitro, and they can induce effective protective immune responses, demonstrating the advantages of rapid development, easy preparation, and low biosafety risks. The design of untranslated regions is a key to enhancing the expression and efficacy of mRNA vaccines. In order to generate an efficient FMD mRNA vaccine, we designed three FMD P12A3C expression vectors with different untranslated regions and synthesized corresponding mRNAs. By comparing expression efficiency of these vectors and their mRNAs at different time points and in different cell lines, we found that the mRNA P12A3C-UTR3 had the best expression and universality. This study laid a foundation for the development of mRNA vaccines against FMD and provided a theoretical basis for the optimal sequence design of efficient mRNA.

Objective:To evaluate the role of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4)-mediated development of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) in mice.Methods:Ninety-six clean-grade healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=24 each) using a table of random numbers: sham operation group (group S), sham operation + PAD4 specific inhibitor GSK484 group (group S+ G), lung ischemia-reperfusion group (group L), and lung ischemia-reperfusion + GSK484 group (group L+ G). After anesthesia and mechanical ventilation, mice were subjected to left hilum occlusion for 1 h followed by 2 h of reperfusion to establish the LIRI model in L and L+ G groups. Mice underwent thoracotomy for 3 h without left hilum occlusion in S and S+ G groups. In S+ G and L+ G groups, GSK484 4 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected once a day for 3 days before developing the model. At the end of reperfusion, blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta for blood gas analysis to record arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2). Mice were then sacrificed to collect bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and to obtain lung tissues. The concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in BALF were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The wet/dry lung weight (W/D) ratio was calculated. The lung tissues were obtained for microscopic examination of pathological changes (with a light microscope) which were scored after hematoxylin-eosin staining and for determination of the contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) (by colorimetric assay) and expression of PAD4, neutrophil elastase (NE), high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), and citrullinated histone 3 (Cit-H3) (by Western blot). Results:Compared with group S, lung injury scores and W/D ratios were significantly increased, PaO 2 was decreased, the concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and MPO in BALF were increased, the content of SOD was decreased, the content of MDA was increased, and the expression of PAD4, NE, HMGB1 and Cit-H3 was up-regulated in L and L+ G groups ( P<0.05), and no significant changes were observed in the aforementioned parameters in group S+ G ( P>0.05). Compared with group L, lung injury scores and W/D ratios were significantly decreased, PaO 2 was increased, concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and MPO in BALF were decreased, the content of SOD was increased, the content of MDA was decreased, and the expression of PAD4, NE, HMGB1 and Cit-H3 was down-regulated in group L+ G ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Up-regulated PAD4 expression can promote the development of NETs and aggravate oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in lung tissues, thereby participating in LIRI in mice.

This study aims to analyze the screening results and epidemiological characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City, through the implementation of a preliminary prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening based on a community-linkage model, and to explore an effective screening approach. A retrospective observational study design was employed to collect data from residents who underwent PSA screening at Songjiang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, in collaboration with multiple community health service centers in Songjiang District, Shanghai City, between June 2022 and June 2024, through free clinics and annual health examinations. Prostate biopsy was recommended for individuals with total PSA (tPSA) levels >10 ng/ml and those with 4 ng/ml≤tPSA≤10 ng/ml and abnormal free-to-total PSA (f/tPSA) ratios. Clinical characteristics of detected PCa patients were analyzed. Follow-up was conducted through phone calls and home visits by family doctors, coupled with enhanced health education. The results indicated that a total of 17 198 residents participated in the screening, among which 2 234 (12.99%) had tPSA levels between 4 ng/ml and 10 ng/ml, and 257 (1.49%) had tPSA levels >10 ng/ml. Ultimately, 417 residents underwent prostate biopsy, with 171 being diagnosed with PCa, yielding a positive biopsy rate of 41.00% and a PCa detection rate of 0.99%. The predominant pathological subtype among PCa patients was adenocarcinoma (168 cases, 98.24%). Of the 146 PCa patients who received treatment, the majority were classified as intermediate or high-risk (124 cases, 84.93%). Furthermore, with the optimization of the screening model, there was a significant increase in the proportion of subsequent outpatient visits. In conclusion, the community-linkage-based PSA screening model demonstrated high effectiveness in screening for PCa among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City. Epidemiological findings revealed that PCa patients in this region are primarily composed of intermediate and high-risk groups, highlighting the need for intensified early screening and health education.
