Objective To establish an animal model of osteoporosis combined with liver cirrhosis and conduct preliminary investigation into the effect of liver cirrhosis on bone loss in mice and the underlying mechanisms.Methods The experimental animals were 25 6-week-old female C57BL/6 mice with a body weight of approximately 20-22 g.A comorbidity model of liver cirrhosis and osteoporosis was established in the mice by ovariectomy combined with carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)induction.The mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups(n=5 in each group),including a control group,a liver cirrhosis group,an osteoporosis group,and a cirrhosis and osteoporosis comorbidity group.Pathological changes in the liver were observed via HE staining,Sirius Red staining,and serum liver function indicators.Bone mass and morphological changes were assessed using micro-CT and HE staining.ELISA,Western blot,and immunohistochemistry were performed to assess the expression of insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)in serum and liver tissues.An additional IGF-1 intervention group was established to investigate the potential role of IGF-1 in the comorbidity of liver cirrhosis and osteoporosis,and changes in bone mass and morphology were analyzed via micro-CT and HE staining.Results Compared with the control and osteoporosis groups,the liver cirrhosis and cirrhosis-osteoporosis comorbidity groups exhibited significant inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen fiber deposition in liver tissues,along with markedly increased serum levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),and total bilirubin(TBIL)(P<0.05).According to the Micro-CT and HE staining results,the cirrhosis-osteoporosis comorbidity group showed reduced bone mass and decreased trabecular numbers in the distal femur compared to those in the osteoporosis group,with the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).ELISA,Western blot,and immunohistochemistry demonstrated significantly reduced expression of IGF-1 in the liver and serum of the cirrhosis-osteoporosis comorbidity group(P<0.05).Notably,exogenous IGF-1 treatment restored bone mass in mice with liver cirrhosis combined with osteoporosis(P<0.05).Conclusion Through ovariectomy combined with CCl4 induction,a mouse model of liver cirrhosis combined with osteoporosis was successfully established.IGF-1 may serve as a potential molecular mechanism and therapeutic target mediating the liver cirrhosis-osteoporosis comorbidity.

In recent years, the spread of clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae infection has seriously affected the yield and quality of Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.. The cascade of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), a highly conserved signaling pathway, plays an important role in plant responses to both biotic and abiotic stress conditions. To mine the MAPK genes related to clubroot disease resistance in B. juncea, we conducted a genome-wide analysis on this vegetable, and we analyzed the phylogenetic evolution and gene structure of the MAPK gene family in mustard. The 66 BjuMAPK genes identified by screening the whole genome sequence of B. juncea were unevenly distributed on 17 chromosomes. At the genomic scale, tandem repeats led to an increase in the number of MAPK genes in B. juncea. It was found that members of the same subfamily had similar gene structures, and there were great differences among different subfamilies. These predicted cis-acting elements were related to plant hormones, stress resistance, and plant growth and development. The expression of BjuMAPK02, BjuMAPK15, BjuMAPK17, and BjuMAPK19 were down-regulated or up-regulated in response to P. brassicae infection. The above results lay a theoretical foundation for further studying the functions of BjuMAPK genes in B. juncea in response to the biotic stress caused by clubroot disease.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of cefoperazone-sulbactam(CS)combined with ulinastatin in the treatment for stroke-associated pneumonia(SAP)after endovascular treatment of acute large vessel occlusive stroke(AIS-LVO).Methods This study retrospectively included patients who developed SAP after endovascular treatment of AIS-LVO admitted to the intensive care unit of the Department of Neurology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from March 2022 to December 2023.Patients were randomly divided into the ulinastatin group(combined application of ulinastatin and CS)and the control group(sole application of CS)using a random number table.Baseline and clinical data,including sex,age,infarct laterality,culprit vessel,trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment(TOAST)classification,baseline National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score,baseline Glasgow coma scale(GCS)score,medical history(hypertension,diabetes,coronary heart disease,atrial fibrillation,past history of stroke),history of smoking and alcohol consumption,admission baseline blood pressure,laboratory test results at admission(including red blood cell count,white blood cell count,neutrophil count,platelet count,random blood glucose levels,albumin,creatinine,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,uric acid,and D-dimer),and endovascular therapies(including mechanical retrieval of thrombus,stenting,balloon dilatation,arterial thrombolysis and combination therapy)were collected from both groups.After the diagnosis of SAP,patients in both groups underwent conventional treatment such as sputum expectoration and clearance,antipyretic and antitussive treatment,oxygen therapy,respiratory support,fluid and nutrition support,along with CS anti-infective therapy.In contrast to the control group,the ulinastatin group additionally received continuous ulinastatin treatment for at least 7 days.The adverse reactions of the two groups after initiating SAP treatment including allergic reactions(such as sudden dyspnea,skin redness,and shock),decrease in peripheral white blood cell count(below 4.0 × 109/L),nausea and vomiting,diarrhea,rash and/or itching,and liver enzymes(aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase)elevation(more than twice the upper limit of normal)were compared between the two groups.The efficacy indicators encompassing arterial blood gas analysis(oxygenation index)and inflammatory factor indicators(interleukin-6[IL-6],procalcitonin)after 7 days of SAP treatment,pneumonia-related symptoms and signs before and after SAP treatment(including body temperature,heart rate,respiratory rate,sputum volume and characteristics,changes in lung rales,etc.),imaging examinations(such as head CT and chest CT).The evaluation of therapeutic efficacy is classified as(1)markedly effective:following treatment,significant relief was observed on pneumonia-related symptoms and signs,with body temperature returned to normal,and arterial blood gas analysis and inflammatory factor indicators returned to normal levels;post-treatment imaging studies reveal that over 2/3 of lung inflammation has been absorbed;(2)effective:after treatment,some improvement was observed in pneumonia-related symptoms and signs,with mild improvement in arterial blood gas analysis and inflammatory factor indicators;post-treatment imaging studies reveal some absorption of lung inflammation;(3)ineffective:no improvement or further deterioration of pneumonia-related symptoms,arterial blood gas analysis,and inflammatory factor indicators after treatment.The arterial blood gas analysis,inflammatory factor indicators and efficacy indicators were evaluated and compared between the control and the ulinastatin group.Compare the prognosis(improvement of the lesion in the chest CT after 7 days of treatment,length of stay in the intensive care unit,total length of hospital stay,and modified Rankin scale[mRS]score assessed via telephone follow-up or outpatient revisit 90 days after endovascular treatment[with an mRS score ≤2 indicating a good prognosis],as well as mortality).Results A total of 99 patients with AIS-LVO who developed SAP after endovascular treatment were included in this study,with 69 males(69.7%)and 30 females(30.3%),and an average age of(68±10)years.Among them,there were 46 cases in the ulinastatin group and 53 cases in the control group.(1)No statistically significant differences were observed in baseline or clinical characteristics between the two groups(all P>0.05).(2)The overall effective(markedly effective and effective)rate of SAP treatment was greater in the ulinastatin group than that in the control group(89.1%[41/46]vs.69.8%[37/53],P=0.019).(3)No statistically significant differences were observed in serum IL-6 levels,procalcitonin levels,or arterial oxygenation index between the ulinastatin group and the control group before treatment(all P>0.05).seven days after treatment,the levels of serum IL-6([21.13±14.86]ng/L vs.[64.39±52.95]ng/L)and procalcitonin([0.12±0.11]μg/L vs.[0.31±0.20]μg/L)in the ulinastatin group were significantly lower compared to those before treatment(all P<0.01),and the arterial oxygenation index was significantly higher than that before treatment([359.35±92.56]mmHg vs.[273.34±95.65]mmHg,P<0.01).Seven days after treatment,the levels of serum IL-6([21.13±14.86]ng/L vs.[31.90±21.95]ng/L)and procalcitonin([0.12±0.11]μg/L vs.[0.26±0.24]μg/L)in the ulinastatin group were significantly lower than those in the control group(all P<0.01),and the arterial oxygenation index was significantly higher than that of the control group([359.35±92.56]mmHg vs.[314.81±81.97]mmHg,P=0.020).(4)In the ulinastatin group,there was 1 case of nausea and vomiting,1 case of itching and/or rash,and 1 case of elevated liver enzymes,resulting in an adverse reaction rate of 6.5%(3/46).In the control group,there were 2 cases of nausea and vomiting,1 case of itching and/or rash,and 1 case of elevated liver enzymes,resulting in an adverse reaction rate of 7.5%(4/53).No statistically significant differences were observed in the adverse reaction rate between the two groups(P>0.05).(5)After 7 days of treatment,the ulinastatin group exhibited a greater improvement rate in chest CT lesions compared to the control group(93.5%[43/46]vs.77.4%[41/53],P=0.026).No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of the length of stay in the intensive care unit or the total length of hospital stay(both P>0.05).Additionally,the 90-day mortality rate after intravascular treatment was lower in the ulinastatin group compared to the control group(6.5%[3/46]vs.20.8%[11/53],P=0.040).No statistically significant differences were observed in the good prognosis rate between the two groups(P=0.119).Conclusions Combined treatment with CS and ulinastatin can improve the clinical symptoms,inhibit inflammatory factors and reduce mortality rate in SAP patients after receiving endovascular treatment for AIS-LVO.The results of this study still need to be further confirmed by large-scale prospective studies.

Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2024;38(12):1091-1099
Objective:Pediatric chronic sinusitis (CRS) is a common disease within the field of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Due to the immaturity of sinus development and immune competence in children, its etiology and pathophysiology are complex, and its clinical features and outcomes differ significantly from those in adult patients. Currently, there are issues in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric CRS, particularly in areas such as antibiotic use and surgical interventions, owing to a lack of sufficient attention. In recognition of this, the Chinese Rhinopathy Research Cooperation Group developed this expert consensus based on a systematic review of the latest literatures from both domestic and international sources, with reference to the latest evidence-based medical evidence worldwide, and in combination with their own clinical experience. The consensus covers various aspects including epidemiology, predisposing factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, as well as treatment strategies such as medical therapy and surgical intervention. It aims to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment of pediatric CRS, improve clinical efficacy and patient satisfaction, reduce clinical expenditures, and decrease the occurrence of adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of glycosides of Cistanche(GCs)on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury(CIRI)in rats.Methods Forty-eight male Wistar rats were divided randomly into Sham,Model,GCs,and Nim groups.A rat model of focal CIRI was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion.Neurological function was scored using the Zea-Longa scoring method.The sensory and motor abilities of rats in each group were evaluated by sticker removal,balance beam,and open field tests.The area of cerebral infarction was detected by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining,Nissl staining was used to observe the morphology of nerve cells,and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling was used to detect apoptosis of nerve cells.Expression levels of the apoptosis-related proteins B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2 associated X(Bax),and cysteine aspartic protease-3(Caspase-3)were detected by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot.Results Compared with the Sham group,the neurological deficit score was significantly increased(P<0.05)and the times to remove stickers and passing the balance beam were significantly increased(P<0.05),motor ability was decreased,infarct size was increased,the number of neurons was decreased,and the number of apoptotic cells was increased after CIRI.Bax and Caspase-3 expression were significantly increased(P<0.05)and Bcl-2/Bax was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the Model group,GCs improved the behavioral performance of CIRI model rats,reduced the infarct size,inhibited cell apoptosis,down-regulated the expression of Bax and Caspase-3(P<0.05),and up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2/Bax(P<0.05).Conclusions GCs have a neuroprotective effect on CIRI,and may play a role in inhibiting cell apoptosis by regulating the expression of the apoptosis-related factors Bax,Bcl-2,and Caspase-3.
