In recent years,the potential role of mitochondrial dynamics imbalance in the pathogenesis of various psychiatric disorders has attracted growing attention.Mitochondria regulate energy metabolism,oxidative stress,apoptosis,and neuronal function through dynamic processes such as fission and fusion.Disruption of these processes may impair synaptic function and neural network stability.In schizophrenia,depression,bipolar disorder,Alzheimer disease,and autism spectrum disorders,studies have reported dysregulated expression of mitochondrial fission-related proteins DRP1 and FIS1,as well as fusion-related proteins MFN1,MFN2,and OPA1,accompanied by structural and functional mitochondrial impairments,neuronal apoptosis,and synaptic loss.Evidence from clinical studies,animal models,and cell experiments further supports that these mitochondrial dynamics abnormalities are closely associated with cognitive deficits,emotional disturbances,and neurodegenerative changes.Although mitochondrial dynamic dysfunction alone cannot fully explain the onset of psychiatric disorders,it may represent a potential biological mechanism that offers new insights into disease mechanisms and provide a theoretical basis for developing targeted intervention strategies.

Objective:To study the use of temporary abdominal closure combined with continuous negative pressure drainage in management of patients with severe pancreatic trauma.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 33 patients with severe pancreatic trauma treated at the 908th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA from June 2014 to June 2020. There were 28 males and 5 females, with an average age of 43.1 years. Sixteen patients were treated with temporary abdominal closure combined with continuous negative pressure drainage (the combined group), and 17 patients with direct abdominal closure and traditional drainage (the control group). The body temperature, heart rate, intra-abdominal pressure, length of hospital stay and postoperative complications were compared between groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative intra-abdominal pressure between the two groups ( P>0.05). The intra-abdominal pressure on the first, second and third postoperative days in the combined group were (11.7±2.6) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kpa), (11.1±3.2) mmHg and (10.2±3.7) mmHg respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group of (18.1±5.3) mmHg, (15.6±6.2) mmHg, and (15.0±6.7) mmHg, respectively (all P<0.05). The total in-hospital and ICU stays in the combined group were (29.2±17.8) days and (7.1±3.2) days respectively, which were significantly less than those in the control group of (49.5±26.3) days and (11.8±7.6) days (both P<0.05). The decreases in body temperature and heart rate in the combined group were (-0.1±0.9)℃ and (18.2±17.2) times/min respectively, which were significantly more than those in the control group of (-1.2±0.7)℃ and (-5.9±17.2) times/min respectively (both P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complication in the combined group was 18.8% (3/16), which was significantly lower than that in the control group of 52.9% (9/17)(χ 2=4.164, P=0.041). Conclusion:Significant advantages were obtained by using temporary abdominal closure combined with continuous negative pressure drainage to treat patients with severe pancreatic trauma. There were significantly lower abdominal pressure, less abdominal complications, and shorter hospital and ICU stays. This treatment is worthy of promotion in management of patients with severe pancreatic trauma.

Major depressive disorder is a mental illness characterized by depressed mood, lack of engagement in pleasurable activities, anhedonia, and cognitive-behavioral disorders. Currently, traditional pharmacological treatments for depression have a delayed therapeutic onset and low treatment effectiveness. (2R, 6R)-HNK, as a key metabolite of ketamine, can not only exert rapid and lasting antidepressant effects but also has no side effects such as hallucination and addiction caused by ketamine, which has potential clinical application values. Studies have found that the antidepressant effect of (2R, 6R)-HNK is closely related to the regulation mechanism of glutamate receptor and synaptic plasticity. Besides, the changes of downstream signaling pathways include the upregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, dephosphorylation of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2), and activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) play a key role in the antidepressant process of the drug. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underpinning (2R, 6R)-HNK's antidepressant effects will be invaluable for the identification of targets, which will drive the development of novel, effective, next-generation pharmacotherapies for the treatment of depression.

A comparative in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) study of tilmicosin (TIL) was conducted in 6 crossbred healthy pigs and 6 crossbred pigs infected with Haemophilus (H.) parasuis following oral administration of a single 40 mg/kg dose. The infected model was established by intranasal inoculation and confirmed by clinical signs, blood biochemistry, and microscopic examinations. Plasma TIL concentrations were determined by a validated high-performance liquid chromatography method with ultraviolet detection at 285 nm. PK parameters were calculated by using WinNonlin software. After TIL administration, the main PK parameters of TIL in healthy and H. parasuis-infected pigs were as follows: Area under the concentration-time curve, maximal drug concentration, half-life of the absorption phase, half-life of the distribution phase, and half-life of the elimination phase were 34.86 ± 9.69 vs. 28.73 ± 6.18 µg · h/mL, 1.77 ± 0.33 vs. 1.67 ± 0.28 µg/mL, 2.27 ± 0.45 vs. 2.24 ± 0.44 h, 5.35 ± 1.40 vs. 4.61 ± 0.35 h, and 43.53 ± 8.17 vs. 42.05 ± 9.36 h, respectively. These results of this exploratory study suggest that there were no significant differences between the PK profiles of TIL in the healthy and H. parasuis-infected pigs.
