Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis and antiplatelet therapy in patients with stroke warning syndrome (SWS), as well as influencing factors of the outcome in patients with SWS.Method:Patients with SWS admitted to the 521 st Hospital of Ordnance Group from June 1, 2018 to December 31, 2023 were retrospectively included. Some patients were treated with ateplase intravenous thrombolysis, followed by oral antiplatelet therapy; some patients only received antiplatelet therapy. The main outcome measure was the modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days after onset, with a score of 0-2 defined as good outcome. Results:A total of 35 patients with SWS were included, including 26 males (74.3%) with an age of 58.29±11.06 years. Nineteen patients (54.3%) received intravenous thrombolysis, and 27 (77.1%) had good outcome at 90 days. There was no statistically significant difference in demographic, baseline data, and good outcome between the intravenous thrombolysis group and the antiplatelet therapy group. One patient had new stroke and one had transient ischemic attack in the intravenous thrombolysis group. There were statistically significant differences in ABCD2 score, systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, highest National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at onset, and symptom duration between the good outcome group and the poor outcome group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis is similar to that of antiplatelet drugs alone in treating SWS. ABCD2 score, systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, highest NIHSS score at onset, and duration of symptoms may be influencing factors for the outcome of patients with SWS.

ObjectiveThis study aims to examine the effect of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma-Coptidis Rhizoma on reducing insulin resistance in db/db mice by regulating the adenylate activated protein kinase （AMPK）/UNC-51-like kinase 1 （ULK1）/key molecule of autophagy， benzyl chloride 1 （Beclin1） pathway and elucidate the underlying mechanism. MethodSixty 6-week-old male db/db mice were studied. They were randomly divided into the model group， metformin group （0.26 g·kg^-1）， and low-， middle-， and high-dose groups （2.25， 4.5， 9 g·kg^-1） of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma-Coptidis Rhizoma. A blank group of db/m mice of the same age was set， with 12 mice in each group. After eight weeks of continuous intragastric administration， the blank group and model group received distilled water intragastrically once a day. The survival status of the mice was observed， and fasting blood glucose （FBG） was measured using a Roche blood glucose device. Fasting serum insulin （FINS） was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay， and the insulin resistance index （HOMA-IR） was calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was performed to observe the pathological changes in the liver of the mice. The protein expression levels of AMPK， Beclin1， autophagy associated protein 5 （Atg5）， and p62 in liver tissue were determined by using Western blot. The protein expression levels of autophagy associated protein 1 light chain 3B （LC3B） and ULK1 in liver tissue were determined using immunofluorescence. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR （Real-time PCR） was used to measure mRNA expression levels of AMPK， Beclin1， Atg5， ULK1， and p62. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group exhibited a significant increase in body mass （P<0.01）. Additionally， the levels of FBG， FINS， and HOMA-IR significantly changed （P<0.01）. The structure of liver cells was disordered. The protein expression levels of AMPK， Beclin1， and Atg5 in liver tissue were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， while the expression level of p62 protein was significantly increased （P<0.01）. The expression levels of mRNA and proteins were consistent. Compared with the model group， the body mass of the metformin group and high and medium-dose groups of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma-Coptidis Rhizoma was significantly decreased （P<0.05）. FBG， FINS， and HOMA-IR were significantly decreased （P<0.05，P<0.01）. After treatment， the liver structure damage in each group was alleviated to varying degrees. The protein expressions of AMPK， Beclin1， Atg5， LC3B， and ULK1 were increased （P<0.05，P<0.01）， while the protein expression of p62 was decreased （P<0.01）. The expression levels of mRNA and proteins were generally consistent. ConclusionThe combination of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma-Coptidis Rhizoma can effectively improve liver insulin resistance， regulate the AMPK autophagy signaling pathway， alleviate insulin resistance in db/db mice， and effectively prevent the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes.

Objective:To explore the genetic etiology for a patient with Alstr?m syndrome (ALMS) presenting as dilated cardiomyopathy.Methods:A 41-year-old male patient who had presented at the Sixth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital on October 20, 2021 was selected as the study subject. Clinical and laboratory examinations were carried out. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was employed for genetic testing, and candidate variants were validated by Sanger sequencing and pathogenicity analysis.Results:The patient had a 14-year medical history characterized by dilated cardiomyopathy, complete atrioventricular block, visual impairment, sensorineural hearing loss, truncal obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, renal dysfunction, and paranoid delusions. Genetic testing revealed that he has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the ALMS1 gene, namely c. 6823C>T (p.Arg2275Ter) and c. 9442_9445dup (p.Ser3149LysfsTer2). Sanger sequencing confirmed that they were inherited from his father and mother, respectively. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), both variants were predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1_VeryStrong+ PM2_Supporting+ PM3+ PP3, PVS1_VeryStrong+ PM2_Supporting+ PM3). Literature review indicated that the complete atrioventricular block in the patient was a phenotype unreported previously. Conclusion:The c. 6823C>T (p.Arg2275Ter) and c. 9442_9445dup (p.Ser3149LysfsTer2) compound heterozygous variants of the ALMS1 gene probably underlay the pathogenesis in this patient. Above findings have expanded the phenotypic spectrum of ALMS and provided insights for clinicians dealing with similar cases.

ObjectiveTo reveal the intervention effect of Dahuang Mudantang on pancreatic injury in rats with acute pancreatitis （AP） of dampness-heat in large intestine syndrome and explore its possible mechanism based on network pharmacology. MethodNinety-six SPF-grade Wistar rats were randomly divided into the following six groups： a blank group， a model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose Dahuang Mudantang groups （3.5， 7， and 14 g·kg^-1）， and a Qingyi Lidan granules group （3 g·kg^-1）， with 16 rats in each group. The AP model of dampness-heat in large intestine syndrome was induced in rats except for those in the blank group by "high-temperature and high-humidity environment + high-sugar and high-fat diet + retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreaticobiliary duct". The blank and model groups received equal volumes of distilled water by gavage， while the treatment groups were administered Dahuang Mudantang or Qingyi Lidan granules 1 hour before modeling， and 12 and 24 hours after modeling. Samples were collected 1 hour after the last administration. The general conditions of the rats were observed. The AP model of dampness-heat in large intestine syndrome was evaluated. Serum amylase （AMS） and C-reactive protein （CRP） levels were determined using biochemical methods. Pancreatic tissue morphology was observed using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Network pharmacology was employed to predict potential targets of Dahuang Mudantang in the intervention in AP， and molecular biology technique was used to verify relevant targets. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group exhibited lethargy， unkempt fur， loose and foul-smelling stools， elevated anal temperature with arching and twisting reactions， significantly increased serum levels of AMS and CRP （P<0.05）， abnormal pancreatic ductules， disordered interlobular spaces， and inflammatory cell infiltration in histopathological examination， as well as pathological changes including pancreatic acinar cell swelling， congestion， and necrosis. Compared with the model group， the treatment groups showed varying degrees of improvement in general survival conditions， reduced twisting reactions， visibly improved stool characteristics， reduced pancreatic tissue edema and necrosis， decreased serum AMS and CRP levels （P<0.05）， with the high-dose Dahuang Mudantang group showing the most pronounced effects （P<0.05）. Network pharmacology prediction indicated that hederagenin， β-sitosterol， and quercetin were the most widely connected active compounds with disease targets. Protein-protein interaction （PPI） network analysis revealed that protein kinase B （Akt）， tumor protein P53 （TP53）， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， transcription factor （JUN）， vascular endothelial growth factor α （VEGFα）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 （VCAM1） were key targets in the "drug-disease" interaction. KEGG enrichment analysis suggested that the response of the mitogen activated protein kinase （MAPK） signaling pathway might be a core mechanism for DHMDT in the intervention in AP. Molecular biology analysis showed that compared with the blank group， the model group had significantly increased levels of TNF-α， IL-6， and VCAM-1 in pancreatic tissue （P<0.05）， as well as significantly elevated expression levels of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （p38 MAPK）， mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 2 （MK2）， and human antigen R （HUR） genes and proteins （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the treatment groups exhibited decreased levels of TNF-α， IL-6， and VCAM-1 in pancreatic tissue （P<0.05）， reduced expression levels of p38 MAPK， MK2， and HUR genes and proteins， with the high-dose Dahuang Mudantang group showing the most pronounced effects （P<0.05）. ConclusionDahuang Mudantang activates and regulates the p38 MAPK/MK2/HUR signaling pathway to suppress the release of inflammatory factors， thereby improving pancreatic injury.

OBJECTIVE To s tudy the impr ovement effects of tilianin on the atherosclerosis （AS）model mice and its potential mechanism. METHODS Eight C 57BL/6J mice were taken as the normal group. Forty ApoE－/－ mice were randomly divided into model group ，tilianin low-dose ，medium-dose and high-dose groups [ 2.1，3.5，7.0 mg/（kg·d）] and simvastatin group [positive control drug ，3.5 mg/（kg·d）]，with 8 mice in each group. Normal group was given normal diet ，and other groups were given high-lipid diet to induce AS model. At the same time ，normal group and model group were given normal saline intragastrically ， administration groups were given relevant drug intragastrically ，once a day ，for 12 consecutive weeks. The levels of TC ，TG， LDL-C，HDL-C，Ox-LDL，IL-1β，IL-6，MCP-1 and TNF-α in plasma were determined. The pathomorphological changes of the aorta in mice were observed. The positive rate of ICAM- 1，VCAM-1 and PCNA in the aorta were determined. mRNA expressions of MMP- 2，MMP-9，TGF-β1，Smad2 and Smad 3 as well as protein expressions of TGF-β1，Smad2/3 and p-Smad 2/3 were also determined in aorta of mice. RESULTS Compared with normal group ，the plasma levels of TC ，TG，LDL-C，Ox-LDL，IL-1β， IL-6，MCP-1 and TNF-α in model group were increased significantly（P＜0.01），while HDL-C level was significantly reduced （P＜0.01）. Lipid plaques were formed in the aorta ，and the plaque area was large and caused severe stenosis of the lumen. mRNA expressions of MMP- 2，MMP-9，TGF-β1，Smad2 and Smad 3 as well as positive rate of ICAM- 1，VCAM-1，PCNA and protein expression TGF-β1，Smad2/3，and p-Smad 2/3 in the aorta were significantly increased （P＜0.01）. Compared with model group ， most of above indexes of medication groups were improved significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Tilianin can inhibit the activation of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway and then inhibit the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells ，reduce ， inflammation and regulate lipid metabolism to inhibit the No.81960766） formation of AS.

Objective:To fabricate tAu@glutathione(GSH)@Gd nanoprobe for tumor angiogenesis bimodal (MR/CT) imaging, and evaluate its characteristics and potential for MR/CT imaging in vivo. Methods:The tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes were constructed by encapsulating Au and Gd atoms into the GSH shell with cyclic asparagine-glycine-arginine (cNGR) peptide conjugation. EMT-6 BALB/c mice subcutaneous transplantation tumor models were established ( n=30) and divided into blank control group (saline), control group (Au@GSH@Gd nanoparticles) and experimental group (tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes) ( n=10 in each group). In vivo MR/CT imaging and distribution study were performed at different time points after tail intravenously injection. Relative MR signal value and relative CT value of tumor site and main organs in mice were used to evaluate MR/CT imaging property and biological distribution. After that, tumor tissues were collected for silver staining to study the accumulation of Au@GSH@Gd nanoparticles and tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes. Independent-sample t test was used for data analysis. Results:The tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes were (6.40±0.22) nm with high T 1 relaxation efficiency ((36.91±0.07) mmol·L -1·s -1). MR/CT imaging of tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes showed good performance in vitro. In vivo MR/CT imaging demonstrated MR/CT imaging of tumor was significantly enhanced by tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes after 2 h post injection. The strongest enhancement was observed at 24 h, with an increased relative MR signal value from 1.04±0.12 (before injection) to 1.84±0.26 ( t=12.61, P=0.006), and increased relative CT value from 1.01±0.04 (before injection) to 1.95±0.05 ( t=15.34, P=0.004). The highest MR/CT effect in control group appeared at 16 h, with the relative MR signal value of 1.50±0.06 and the relative CT value of 1.53±0.10, which were significantly lower than those in experimental group (1.84±0.26 and 1.95±0.05; t values: 5.35 and 16.46, both P<0.05). Distribution in normal tissues showed that most of tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes were metabolized through the kidneys. Tissue silver staining experiment verified the tumor angiogenesis targeting effect. Conclusion:The tAu@GSH@Gd nanoprobes exhibit favorable tumor angiogenesis target MR/CT imaging ability, providing a new design concept and basis for assessing tumor angiogenesis.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of IA regimen which contains idarubicin (IDA) 8 mg/m², 10 mg/m² or 12 mg/m² as induction chemotherapy for adult patients with de-novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) . Methods: A total of 1 215 newly diagnosed adult AML patients, ranging from May 2011 to March 2015 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and other 36 clinical blood centers in China were enrolled in the multicenter, single-blind, non-randomized, clinical controlled study. To compare the response rate of complete remission (CR) , adverse events between different dose idarubicin combined with cytarabine (100 mg/m²) as induction chemotherapy in newly diagnosed patients of adult AML. Results: Of 1 207 evaluable AML patients were assigned to this analysis of CR rate. The CR rates of IDA 8 mg/m² group, IDA 10 mg/m² group and IDA 12 mg/m² group were 73.6% (215/292) , 84.1% (662/787) and 86.7% (111/128) , respectively (P<0.001) . After adjusted for age, blast ratio of bone marrow, FAB classification and risk stratification, the odds ratios (95% CI) of IDA 10 mg/m² group and IDA 12 mg/m² group were 0.49 (0.34-0.70) and 0.36 (0.18-0.71) , as compared with the IDA 8 mg/m² group (P<0.001, P=0.003) . In the intermediate and favorable groups, CR rates was 76.5% (163/213) , 86.9% (506/582) and 86.1% (68/79) in different doses of IDA (P=0.007) . Interestingly, IA regimen with IDA 10 mg/m² was the only beneficial factor affecting CR in this group after adjusted for age, blast ratio of bone marrow and FAB classification[OR=0.47 (95% CI 0.31-0.71) , P<0.001]. CR rates in adverse group was 50.0% (18/36) , 60.6% (43/71) and 81.8% (18/22) respectively (P=0.089) . However, the odds ratios (95% CI) of IDA 12 mg/m² when compared with the IDA 8 mg/m² was 0.22 (0.06-0.80) , after adjusted for age, blast ratio of bone marrow and FAB classification. The median time (days) of neutrophil count less than 0.5×10⁹/L in IDA 8 mg/m² group, IDA 10 mg/m² group and IDA 12 mg/m² group were 14 (11-18) , 15 (11-20) and 18 (14-22) , respectively (P=0.012) and of platelet count lower than 20×10⁹/L were 14 (7-17) , 15 (11-20) and 17 (15-21) , respectively (P=0.001) . The incidences of lung infection in the three groups were 9.8%, 13.5% and 25.2%, respectively (P<0.001) . Conclusions For young adult patients (aged 18-60 years) with AML in China, intensifying induction therapy with idarubicin 10 mg/m² is clinically superior to IDA 8 mg/m² and IDA 12 mg/m² in favorable intermediate AML subgroup. However, idarubicin 12 mg/m² is more suitable to adverse AML subgroup.
