Objective: To investigate the effects of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula (ZGJTJYF) on histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18la) in the hippocampus of rats with diabetes mellitus complicated with depression (DD) and predict the regulatory genes of H3K18la. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, model, and positive drug (metformin [0.18 g/kg] and fluoxetine [1.8 mg/kg]) groups, and the three groups were treated with high, medium, and low ZGJTJYF doses (20.52, 10.26, and 5.13 g/kg, respectively), with 10 rats per group. After treatment, the forced swimming and water maze tests were performed to assess depressive-like behaviors and cognitive function. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure blood insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin, lactate levels, and lactate content in the hippocampus. Western blotting was used to detect H3K18la expression in the hippocampus. Cleavage Under Targets and lagmentation(CUT&Tag) experiments targeted hippocampal H3K18la epigenetic modification regions to analyze the transcription factors bound by H3K18la. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Protein-Protein Interaction networks were constructed to identify key pathways and target genes regulated by H3K18la. Results: Compared with the normal group, the model group rats showed prolonged immobility time in the forced swim test, increased escape latency in the water maze experiment, decreased target quadrant distance ratio (P<0.01), increased serum lactate content, and decreased lactate content in hippocampal homogenate (P<0.01), as well as decreased H3K18la protein expression in the hippocampus (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, ZGJTJYF reduced the immobility time in the forced swim test and the escape latency in the water maze test (P<0.01), while the distance ratio in the target quadrant increased (P<0.01) in model rats. Lowered fasting blood glucose, insulin, and glycosylated hemoglobin levels (P<0.05, P<0.01) were also observed. ZGJTJYF also increased the lactate content and H3K18la protein expression in hippocampal homogenate (P<0.05, P<0.01). The DNA sequences bound by H3K18la were predominantly enriched at the transcription start sites. ZGJTJYF modulated H3K18la-associated pathways, including cell adhesion junctions, tumor growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling, stem cell pluripotency regulation, mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) signaling pathway, and insulin resistance, leading to the identification of 12 target genes. Conclusion ZGJTJYF enhances hippocampal lactate levels and H3K18la modification in DD rats, which may regulate neural cell interactions, neurogenic stem cell function, TGF-β signaling, MAPK signaling, and insulin resistance pathways.

ObjectiveTo explore and verify the key pathway of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription in the treatment of diabetes with depression by means of gene set enrichment analysis （GSEA） and short time-series expression miner （STEM）. MethodSD rats were randomly divided into six groups， including a normal group， a model group， high， medium， and low dose groups of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription， and a positive drug group. The model of diabetes with depression was established by high-fat feeding， streptozotocin （STZ） injection， and chronic mild unpredictable stress. The high， medium， and low dose groups of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription were orally administered at 20.52， 10.26， and 5.13 g·kg^-1 respectively. The positive drug group was orally administered 0.18 g·kg^-1 metformin and 1.8 g·kg^-1 fluoxetine. The rats in the normal group and model group were administered with an equal volume of distilled water. After 28 days， the animals were tested for depressive-like behaviors and cognitive function using the forced swimming test and Morris water maze. Fasting blood glucose was measured using blood glucose test strips. Cholesterol and triglyceride levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Three hippocampus samples were randomly selected from the normal group， the model group， the high dose group of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription for high-throughput transcriptome sequencing. Differential gene analysis， GSEA analysis， and STEM analysis were used to screen the key pathways and target genes of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription in the treatment of diabetes with depression. Key target genes were validated using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR （Real-time PCR）. The expression of the signal protein mediated by the target genes was detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the results in the normal group， the fasting blood glucose， cholesterol， and triglyceride levels in the model group were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Moreover， the immobility time in the forced swimming test was significantly increased， while the time to climb the platform was significantly prolonged， and the search distance in the target quadrant was significantly reduced in the Morris water maze test （P<0.05，P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the high dose of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription significantly reduced the levels of blood glucose， cholesterol， and triglycerides in rats with diabetes with depression （P<0.05，P<0.01）， reduced the immobility time in the forced swimming test， shortened the stage time in the Morris water maze test， and increased the search distance ratio in the target area （P<0.05，P<0.01）. Transcriptome sequencing differential analysis showed that the normal group had 1 366 differentially expressed genes compared to the model group， while the model group had 1 149 differentially expressed genes compared to the high dose group of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription， with 581 intersecting genes. The GSEA results showed that there were 9 sets of differentially expressed genes between the normal group and the model group， and 43 sets of differentially expressed genes between the model group and the high dose group of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription， with 7 intersecting gene sets. STEM analysis showed that according to the analysis order of the normal group， model group， and high dose group of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription， two significantly different trend clustering groups were obtained. One key gene set for axonal guidance， as well as key target signal elements Sema3c， Sema7a， Robo3， Epha8， and Epha7， were identified through synthesizing the three analysis results. Real-time PCR validated that compared with the results in the normal group， the mRNA expression of Robo3， Sema7a， and Epha7 in the hippocampus of the model rats was significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the high dose of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription significantly increased the mRNA expression of Robo3， Sema7a， and Epha7 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Western blot results showed that compared with the results in the normal group， the Sema7a， ITGB1， and FAK protein expression in the hippocampus of the model group was significantly reduced （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the high dose of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription significantly increased the protein expression of Sema7a， ITGB1， and FAK in the hippocampus （P<0.05，P<0.01）. ConclusionZuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription may treat diabetes with depression by regulating axonal guidance based on the Sema7a/ITGB1 signaling pathway.

Objective:To assess the effectiveness of a 6-month Ba Duan Jin exercise program in improving the balance of community-dwelling older adults.Methods:A two arms, parallel-group, cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 1 028 community residents aged 60-80 years in 40 communities in 5 provinces of China. Participants in the intervention group (20 communities, 523 people) received Ba Duan Jin exercise 5 days/week, 1 hour/day for 6 months, and three times of falls prevention health education, and the control group (20 communities, 505 people) received falls prevention health education same as the intervention group. The Berg balance scale (BBS) score was the leading outcome indicator, and the secondary outcome indicators included the length of time of standing on one foot (with eyes open and closed), standing in a tandem stance (with eyes open and closed), the closed circle test, and the timed up to test.Results:A total of 1 028 participants were included in the final analysis, including 731 women (71.11%) and 297 men (28.89%), and the age was (69.87±5.67) years. After the 3-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 3.05 (95% CI: 2.23-3.88) points ( P<0.001). After the 6-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 4.70 (95% CI: 4.03-5.37) points ( P<0.001). Ba Duan Jin showed significant improvement ( P<0.05) in all secondary outcomes after 6 months of exercise in the intervention group compared with the control group. Conclusions:This study showed that Ba Duan Jin exercise can improve balance in community-dwelling older adults aged 60-80. The longer the exercise time, the better the improvement.

Objective:To determine the median effective dose (ED 50) of oliceridine for analgesia during induced abortion when combined with propofol. Methods:In this prospective study, 24 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 20-45 yr, with a body mass index of 18-26 kg/m 2, who underwent painless induced abortion surgery at Sir Run Run Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from September to October 2024, were selected. The modified Dixon sequential method was used for the study. The initial dose of oliceridine was 0.025 mg/kg, and 2 min later propofol 2 mg/kg was intravenously injected. The ratio between the two successive doses of oliceridine was 1.0∶1.1. If the patient experienced inadequate analgesia during cervical dilation (frowning, moaning, involuntary limb movements, increase in heart rate or mean arterial pressure greater than 20% of baseline), the next patient received a higher dose of oliceridine, or conversely, a lower dose was given. The study was terminated when 7 turning points from inadequate analgesia to adequate analgesia were achieved. Dixon sequential trial formula was used to calculate the ED 50 of oliceridine and the confidence interval. The occurrence of adverse reactions such as intraoperative hypoxemia, postoperative dizziness and nausea and vomiting was recorded. Results:Twenty-four patients were ultimately included in this study. When combined with propofol 2 mg/kg, the ED 50 of oliceridine for analgesia during painless induced abortion surgery was 0.019 mg/kg (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.021 mg/kg). One patient developed hypoxemia, and two patients experienced mild dizziness after surgery. All patients had no nausea or vomiting. Conclusions:When combined with 2 mg/kg of propofol, the ED 50 of oliceridine for analgesia during is 0.019 mg/kg induced abortion surgery.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of pleural effusion after spinal separation surgery for patients with spinal metastatic tumors.Methods:A total of 427 patients with spinal metastatic tumors from January 2014 to January 2022 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed. There were 252 males and 175 females, with an average age of 59±12 years (range, 15-87 years). All patients underwent separation surgery. Based on the chest CT within 1 month after surgery, the volume of pleural effusion was measured individually by reconstruction software. Pleural effusion was defined as small volume (0-500 ml), moderate volume (500-1 000 ml), and large volume (above 1 000 ml). Baseline data and perioperative clinical outcomes were compared between the groups, and indicators with statistically significant differences were included in a binary logistic regression analysis to determine the independent risk factors for the development of pleural effusion after isolation of spinal metastatic cancer. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were conducted to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) for each independent risk factor.Results:All patients successfully completed the operation. Among the 427 patients, there were 35 cases of large pleural effusion, 42 cases of moderate pleural effusion, and 350 cases of small pleural effusion. There were significant differences in tumor size (χ 2=9.485, P=0.013), intraoperative blood loss ( Z=-2.503, P=0.011), blood transfusion ( Z=-2.983, P=0.003), preoperative total protein ( Z=2.681, P=0.007), preoperative albumin ( Z=1.720, P= 0.085), postoperative hemoglobin ( t=2.950, P=0.008), postoperative total protein ( Z=4.192, P<0.001), and postoperative albumin ( t=2.268, P=0.032) in the large pleural effusion group versus the small and moderate pleural effusion group. Logistic regression analysis showed that decreased preoperative albumin ( OR=0.89, P=0.045) and metastases located in the thoracic spine ( OR=4.01, P=0.039) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of large pleural effusion after separation surgery. The ROC curve showed that the AUC and 95% CI for preoperative albumin, lesion location, and the combined model were 0.637 (0.54, 0.74), 0.421 (0.36, 0.48), and 0.883 (0.81, 0.92). The combined predictive model showed good predictive value. Conclusion:The volume of pleural effusion can be measured individually and quantitatively based on chest CT. Decreased preoperative albumin and metastases located in the thoracic spine are independent risk factors for the occurrence of large pleural effusion after separation surgery. The combined prediction of the two factors has better predictive efficacy.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with invasive fungal sinusitis (invasive fungal rhinosinusitis, IFR) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and explored the risk factors for IFR after allo-HSCT.Methods:Nineteen patients with IFR after allo-HSCT at Peking University People’s Hospital from January 2012 to December 2021 were selected as the study group, and 95 patients without IFR after allo-HSCT during this period were randomly selected as the control group (1:5 ratio) .Results:Nineteen patients, including 10 males and 9 females, had IFR after allo-HSCT. The median age was 36 (10–59) years. The median IFR onset time was 68 (9–880) days after allo-HSCT. There were seven patients with acute myeloid leukemia, five with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, two with myelodysplastic syndrome, two with chronic myeloid leukemia, one with acute mixed-cell leukemia, one with multiple myeloma, and one with T-lymphoblastic lymph node tumor. There were 13 confirmed cases and 6 clinically diagnosed cases. The responsible fungus was Mucor in two cases, Rhizopus in four, Aspergillus in four, and Candida in three. Five patients received combined treatment comprising amphotericin B and posaconazole, one patient received combined treatment comprising voriconazole and posaconazole, nine patients received voriconazole, and four patients received amphotericin B. In addition to antifungal treatment, 10 patients underwent surgery. After antifungal treatment and surgery, 15 patients achieved a response, including 13 patients with a complete response and 2 patients with a partial response. Multivariate analysis revealed that neutropenia before transplantation ( P=0.021) , hemorrhagic cystitis after transplantation ( P=0.012) , delayed platelet engraftment ( P=0.008) , and lower transplant mononuclear cell count ( P=0.012) were independent risk factors for IFR after allo-HSCT. The 5-year overall survival rates in the IFR and control groups after transplantation were 29.00%±0.12% and 91.00%±0.03%, respectively ( P<0.01) . Conclusion:Although IFR is rare, it is associated with poor outcomes in patients undergoing allo-HSCT. The combination of antifungal treatment and surgery might be effective.
