AIM:To investigate the effects of Nrf1 on neuronal apoptosis treated by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion and the mechanism.METHODS:Single-cell sequencing data was ana-lyzed by GEO database,and the correlation of Nrf1 expression with apoptotic pathways evaluated based on GSVA package calculations.PC12 cells and primary neurons were divided into the Normal group,the OGD/R group,the OGD/R+siRNA-NC group,and the OGD/R+Nrf1-siRNA-2 group.Cell images was observed by laser scanning confocal mi-croscopy;the viability of cells were detected by MTT assay;the apoptosis of cells were detected by flow cytometry;DHE fluorescent probe to detect ROS levels,the protein expression of Nrf1,bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blot;and nuclear translocation was observed by laser scanning confo-cal microscope.RESULTS:The results of biosigna-ture analysis revealed that Nrf1 was mainly en-riched in the apoptotic pathway;compared with normal group,the cell body became smaller,syn-apse broke,cells clustered in PC12 cells and prima-ry neurons with OGD/R treated,and the vitality of PC12 cells and neuronal were decreased significant-ly(P＜0.01);ROS levels were significantly higher(P＜0.01),the expressions of Nrf1 and Bax were in-creased significantly,and the expression of bcl-2 was decreased significantly(P＜0.05).Compared with the OGD/R group,there was no significant dif-ference in the siRNA-NC group;compared with the siRNA-NC group,the viability of cells was de-creased significantly(P＜0.01);ROS levels were sig-nificantly increased(P＜0.01),the expressions of Nrf1 and Bax were increased markedly,and the ex-pressions of bcl-2 was decreased significantly(P＜0.05)in Nrf1-siRNA-2 group.CONCLUSION:Nrf1 at-tenuates neuronal injury caused by oxygen glucose deprivation/reperfusion via inhibiting apoptosis.

Objective:To explore the potential categories of internal ability of elderly patients with ischemic stroke, identify the influencing factors and propose corresponding nursing interventions.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From January 2025 to May 2025, the elderly patients with ischemic stroke in Tianjin Huanhu Hospital were selected by convenient sampling method. The general information questionnaire, the Internal Capacity Assessment Scale for the Older People, the Health Literacy Scale for stroke patients and the Perceived Social Support Scale were used to investigate. To determine latent categories of patients' intrinsic capacity, potential profile analysis was employed. Subsequently, multivariable Logistic regression examined factors associated with these categories.Results:A total of 260 survey questionnaires were distributed, and 256 valid questionnaires were finally collected, with an effective response rate of 98.46% (256/260). Among of them, there were 166 males and 90 females, aged 68.00 (63.00, 74.00) years.The intrinsic ability of elderly patients with ischemic stroke could be divided into three potential categories: low sensation-low exercise group (27.0%, 69/256), relatively stable intrinsic ability group (37.5%, 96/256) and low cognition-low psychology group (35.5%, 91/256). Multivariable Logistic regression showed that advanced age (compared to the low sensation-low exercise group, OR=0.902; compared to the relatively stable intrinsic ability group, OR=0.813), smoking (compared to the low sensation-low exercise group, OR=0.459; compared to the relatively stable intrinsic ability group, OR=0.442), the lower the Barthel index (compared to the low sensation-low exercise group, ≤40 points with OR=0.157; 41-60 points with OR=0.285) were more likely to enter the low cognition-low psychology group (all P<0.05); other chronic disease types ≤1 (compared to the low cognition-low psychology group, OR=2.630), higher health literacy scores (compared to the low cognition-low psychology group, OR=1.033) were more likely to enter the relatively stable intrinsic ability group (both P<0.05); and stroke frequency was the first occurrence (compared to the low cognition-low psychology group, OR=2.725) was more likely to enter the low sensation-low exercise group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In older adults with ischemic stroke, the characteristics of intrinsic ability are clearly categorized. To enhance patient outcomes, healthcare professionals are advised to tailor nursing interventions based on the unique features and specific influencing factors associated with each potential category.

Objective To evaluate the pharmacodynamics of astragaloside Ⅳ derivatives for chronic heart failure,screen the candidate compounds and preliminarily explore the mechanism of the candidate compound HHQ16 against heart failure.Methods Chronic heart failure was induced by left anterior descending artery ligation in C57BL/6 mice for 4 weeks,and the mice were divided into 4 groups,including sham group,model group,positive control captopril group,and astragaloside Ⅳ derivatives group.After continuous intragastric administration for four weeks,the cardiac function was detected by echocardiography,and the optimal astragaloside Ⅳ derivative HHQ16 was selected for the treatment of heart failure.The preliminary mechanism for HHQ16 was further explored.The size of heart was observed by gross morphology;pathological changes were observed by HE staining;collagen deposition in the myocardium was observed by Masson staining;protein levels of myocardial fibrosis indexes COL1,COL3,and αSMA were detected by immunohistochemical staining,and mRNA levels of myocardial fibrosis indexes COL1,COL3,αSMA,and TGF-β1 were determined by qPCR technique.Results All astragaloside Ⅳ derivatives significantly improved cardiac function with increasing LVEF and LVFS,of which HHQ16 was the optimal compound.Compared with the model group,the heart volume of HHQ16 group was significantly reduced;myocardial hypertrophy was reduced;collagen deposition in myocardial tissues was reduced;and myocardial fibrosis indexes,COL1,COL3,αSMA and TGF-β1 mRNA levels,as well as the protein levels of COL1,COL3 and αSMA were significantly reduced.Conclusion HHQ16 is an optimal astragaloside Ⅳ derivatives for the treatment of chronic heart failure in mice,which could improve cardiac function by improving myocardial remodeling,and inhibit myocardial hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis.

Objective: To analyze the association between tea drinking during pregnancy and the risk of preterm delivery and abortion,so as to provide basis for prevention of preterm delivery and abortion. Methods: The databases of CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,CBMdisc,PubMed and Web of Science were searched for cohort studies and case-control studies into the association between tea consumption during pregnancy and preterm delivery or abortion until June 30 th,2019. Relative risk（RR）or odds ratio（OR）were used as indicators for the meta-analysis. Results: A total of 1 099 articles were retrieved,14 of them were included in the quantitative study,including 9 cohort studies with 18 295 exposed and 71 890 unexposed individuals and 5 case-control studies with 1 351 cases and 3 059 controls. There was no statistically significant association between tea drinking during pregnancy and preterm birth or abortion（OR/RR=1.08,95%CI：0.99-1.18）. The linear regression model of random effect showed that with the increase of tea consumption during pregnancy,the risk of premature delivery and abortion did not change significantly（OR/RR=1.05，95%CI：0.99-1.11）. There was no publication bias found in Begg's test and Egger's test. Conclusion Drinking tea during pregnancy is not associated with preterm delivery and abortion.

To address the increasing need for detecting and validating protein biomarkers in clinical specimens, mass spectrometry (MS)-based targeted proteomic techniques, including the selected reaction monitoring (SRM), parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), and massively parallel data-independent acquisition (DIA), have been developed. For optimal performance, they require the fragment ion spectra of targeted peptides as prior knowledge. In this report, we describe a MS pipe-line and spectral resource to support targeted proteomics studies for human tissue samples. To build the spectral resource, we integrated common open-source MS computational tools to assemble a freely accessible computational workflow based on Docker. We then applied the workflow to gen-erate DPHL, a comprehensive DIA pan-human library, from 1096 data-dependent acquisition (DDA) MS raw files for 16 types of cancer samples. This extensive spectral resource was then applied to a proteomic study of 17 prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Thereafter, PRM validation was applied to a larger study of 57 PCa patients and the differential expression of three proteins in prostate tumor was validated. As a second application, the DPHL spectral resource was applied to a study consisting of plasma samples from 19 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients and 18 healthy control subjects. Differentially expressed proteins between DLBCL patients and healthy control subjects were detected by DIA-MS and confirmed by PRM. These data demonstrate that the DPHL supports DIA and PRM MS pipelines for robust protein biomarker discovery. DPHL is freely accessible at https://www.iprox.org/page/project.html?id=IPX0001400000.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has played a pivotal role in maintaining the health of Chinese people and is now gaining increasing acceptance around the global scope. However, TCM is confronting more and more concerns with respect to its quality. The intrinsic "multicomponent and multitarget" feature of TCM necessitates the establishment of a unique quality and bioactivity evaluation system, which is different from that of the Western medicine. However, TCM is investigated essentially as "herbal medicine" or "natural product", and the pharmacopoeia quality monographs are actually chemical-markers-based, which can ensure the consistency only in the assigned chemical markers, but, to some extent, have deviated from the basic TCM theory. A concept of "quality marker" (Q-marker), following the "property-effect-component" theory, is proposed. The establishment of Q-marker integrates multidisciplinary technologies like natural products chemistry, analytical chemistry, bionics, chemometrics, pharmacology, systems biology, and pharmacodynamics, etc. Q-marker-based fingerprint and multicomponent determination conduce to the construction of more scientific quality control system of TCM. This review delineates the background, definition, and properties of Q-marker, and the associated technologies applied for its establishment. Strategies and approaches for establishing Q-marker-based TCM quality control system are presented and highlighted with a few TCM examples.
