ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Notoginsenoside R1 （NGR1） ameliorates hypoxia/reoxygenation （H/R）-induced injury in AC16 human cardiomyocyte cell lines through the regulation of mitophagy. MethodsCommon genes linked to hypoxia/reoxygenation injury and mitophagy were identified by intersecting data from GeneCards and MitoCarta databases. AC16 cell viability was assessed via CCK-8 assay under varying NGR1 concentrations （0， 6.25， 12.5， 25， 50， 100， 200， 300， 400， 500 μmol/L）. AC16 cells were divided into the following groups： control group （Control）， model group （H/R）， and treatment groups （H/R + NGR1 at 100， 200 and 300 μmol/L）. Mitochondrial membrane potential （ΔΨm） was measured using 5，5'，6，6'-tetrachloro-1，1'，3，3'-tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide （JC-1） staining. Transcriptional levels of mitophagy-related genes （Parkin， Pink1， P62） were quantified by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR （RT-qPCR）. Protein expression of mitophagy-related markers （Parkin， Pink1， P62， and LC3BⅡ） was evaluated via Western blot analysis. Mitochondrial ultrastructure was visualized by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. ResultsCompared to the control group， cell viability in the H/R group significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Treatment with NGR1 at concentrations above 100 μmol/L significantly enhanced the cell viability of AC16 cells compared to the H/R group （P<0.01）. H/R induced a significant decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential （P<0.01）， which was restored by NGR1 treatment （P<0.01）. The mRNA levels of Parkin， Pink1， and P62 in the H/R group were upregulated compared to the control group （P<0.05）， while NGR1 intervention downregulated their expression （P<0.05）. Protein expression levels of Parkin， Pink1， and LC3BⅡ in the H/R group significantly increased， while P62 expression decreased compared to the control group （P<0.01）. In contrast， different doses of NGR1 treatment significantly reduced the expression of Parkin， Pink1， and LC3BⅡ while increasing P62 expression （P<0.05）. TEM revealed that the mitochondrial structure in the H/R group was severely disrupted， with fragmented and disorganized cristae， which was alleviated by NGR1. ConclusionNGR1 ameliorates H/R-induced AC16 cell injury， and its mechanism may be associated with modulating the Pink1/Parkin pathway to suppress excessive mitophagy.

Triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) are widely used synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agents that can enter the human body through the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and other pathways. More and more studies have found that exposure to TCS and TCC can affect human health, but currently, review reports on the health effects of human exposure to TCS and TCC are limited. Therefore, this study reviewed population studies on the relationship between TCS and TCC exposure and health effects by searching the PubMed database, summarized the associated health outcomes, and elucidated the biological mechanisms. A total of 56 studies were retrieved, among which cross-sectional studies (25 studies, 44.64%) and cohort studies (25 studies, 44.64%) accounted for a relatively large proportion, while case-control studies (6 studies, 10.72%) were relatively few. Studies on TCS exposure (48 studies, 85.71%) were far more prevalent than those on TCC exposure (2 studies, 3.57%). The remaining 6 studies involved both TCS and TCC exposure. The research results revealed that TCS exposure was associated with male and female abnormal reproductive functions, fetal growth restriction, abnormal behavior development in children, obesity, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and immune-related diseases. Although the results of different studies show significant differences, they have indicated that exposure to TCS is a potential risk factor for these health problems. Due to the limited number of studies, the evidence for the relationship between TCC exposure and most of the aforementioned health effects is insufficient. Population studies and in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that exposure to TCS and TCC can interfere with the microbial homeostasis, the endocrine system, oxidative stress and immune function of the body, which are potential mechanisms causing adverse health effects. In the future, large-scale prospective cohort studies, as well as in vivo and in vitro studies, are still needed to further clarify the associations between TCS and TCC exposure and health effects, and to deeply explore its mechanism of action. These efforts will provide references for clarifying the human health hazards of TCS and TCC exposure and formulating targeted prevention and control strategies.

Background: and Purpose Ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIA) are associated with a mortality rate of up to 40% in the Chinese population, highlighting the critical need for targeted treatment interventions for at-risk individuals. Although the impact of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene mutations on susceptibility to intracranial aneurysms (IA) is well documented, the potential connection between ALDH2 rs671 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and RIA remains unexplored. Given the increased prevalence of ALDH2 gene mutations among Chinese Han individuals, it is clinically relevant to investigate the link between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and IA rupture. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 546 patients diagnosed with IA to investigate the association between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and the risk of IA rupture. Results: The ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*2) was significantly more prevalent in patients with unruptured IA (UIA) than in those with RIA (32.56% vs. 18.58%, P=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that people with the ALDH2 mutation (ALDH2*1/*2 and ALDH2*2/*2 gene type) had a significantly reduced odds ratio (OR=0.49; 95% confidence level [CI] 0.27–0.88; P=0.018) for RIAs. Age-specific subgroup analysis indicated that the ALDH2 mutation provided a stronger protective effect in individuals aged 60 years and above with IA compared to those under 60 years old (OR=0.38 vs. OR=0.52, both P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of RIA was significantly higher in individuals with a normal ALDH2 gene (ALDH2*1/*1) than in those with an ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*1/*2 or ALDH2*2/*2). ALDH2 rs671 SNP may serve as a protective factor against RIA in the Chinese Han population.

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated extranodal lymphoma derived from NK or T cells. It exhibits strong geographical and ethnic predispositions and is relatively prevalent in China, making it one of the common lymphoma types in our country. Most cases of this tumor exhibit aggressive biological behavior, and timely, accurate pathological diagnosis is crucial for improving cure rates and patient prognosis. However, the tumor has a broad histopathological spectrum, diverse morphological features, and lacks specific immunomarkers, which can lead to misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis in some cases. Additionally, it is necessary to integrate clinical, imaging, and laboratory findings to differentiate ENKTL from a range of EBV-positive lymphoproliferative disorders. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of molecular biology technologies, significant progress has been made in the molecular genetic research of ENKTL. This article aims to summarize the latest advances in the pathological research of ENKTL, emphasizing the diagnostic challenges, pitfalls, and strategies to avoid them, thereby enhancing pathologists′ understanding of this tumor and enabling precise diagnostic stratification.

Objective:To screen broadly neutralizing antibodies in human immunodeficiency virus-1（HIV-1）chronically infected individuals and characterize their molecular features and to provide new strategies for rational vaccine development and antibody-based therapeutics.Methods:A total of 34 treatment-na?ve individuals with chronic HIV-1 infection were enrolled. Plasma antibody binding levels were measured against two HIV-1 envelope proteins. Single antigen-specific memory B cells were sorted from high-binding samples，and antibody variable region genes were amplified by PCR for paired expression. The monoclonal antibodies were evaluated for neutralizing activity using pseudovirus assays，and their structural features were analyzed by integrating AlphaFold 3 prediction with Discovery Studio molecular docking.Results:Plasma samples showed strong binding to DU422-GP140 and BG505-GP140. Eight monoclonal antibodies were isolated from two donors. Among them，antibodies 0919-A4，0919-A9 and 0808-A2 could cross-react with GP140 from HIV-1 subtypes AE，BC and B. The monoclonal antibody 0919-A9 demonstrated potent neutralizing activity against SF162（Tier 1）and CH181（Tier 2）pseudoviruses，with somatic hypermutation rates of 13.27%（heavy chain）and 15.58%（light chain）. Structural modeling revealed its specific targeting of the V1V2 region on GP120.Conclusion:The isolated antibody 0919-A9 effectively neutralizes Tier 2 pseudoviruses. Its high somatic mutation frequency and V1V2-targeting property underlie its neutralizing activity，providing both a promising candidate and mechanistic insights for HIV vaccine development and antibody-based therapeutic strategies.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of changes in various indicators of routine blood tests for the severity of brain damage in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage(ACH)in high-altitude regions.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from 249 inpatients diagnosed with ACH at a hospital in Xizang.Patient data,including demographic information and results of routine blood tests,were collected.Based on their Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)scores,the patients were divided into 2 groups,a mild brain damage group(GCS≥13 points)and a moderate-to-severe brain damage group(GCS≤12 points).Demographic information and laboratory test results were compared between the two groups.Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the relationship between indicators of routine blood tests and the severity of brain damage,and key indicators were identified.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive performance of key indicators in various combinations for the severity of brain injury in ACH patients.Results The moderate-to-severe group had a higher proportion of high-altitude residents,as well as elevated levels of white blood cells(WBC),neutrophils(N),neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),systemic inflammatory index(SII),neutrophil-to-platelet ratio(NPR),and C-reactive protein(CRP)-to-lymphocyte ratio(CLR),compared to the mild group.On the other hand,the levels of lymphocytes(L),platelets(PLT),and platelet-to-albumin ratio(PAR)in the moderate-to-severe group were lower than those in the mild group.Binary logistic regression analysis showed that WBC(OR=1.221,95%CI:1.127-1.322),CRP(OR=1.019,95%CI:1.004-1.033),CRP-to-albumin ratio(CAR)(OR=1.845,95%CI:1.137-2.996),and CLR(OR=1.018,95%CI:1.005-1.030)were positively associated with moderate-to-severe brain damage,and that their elevated levels were associated with an increase in risk by the corresponding folds.PAR(OR=0.845,95%CI:0.721-0.990)was negatively correlated with moderate-to-severe brain damage,with an increase resulting in a reduction of risk by 0.845 times.ROC curve analysis showed that,in the mild group,the combined AUC for WBC+CRP was 0.689(optimal cutoff value 0.19,specificity 0.776,95%CI:0.624-0.755);the PAR+CAR+CLR combination(CAR was not significant,P>0.05)had an AUC of 0.675(optimal cutoff value 0.19,specificity 0.760,95%CI:0.609-0.741);the key indicator combination of WBC+PAR+CLR(CRP was not significant,P>0.05)demonstrating the strong predictive performance moderate-to-severe brain damage,yielding an AUC of 0.737(optimal cutoff value 0.08,specificity 0.624,95%CI:0.676-0.798).Conclusion The indicator combinations of WBC+CRP,PAR+CLR,and WBC+PAR+CLR exhibit significant value for predicting the severity of brain injury in ACH patients and may serve as potential predictive tools for the severity of brain damage in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage in high-altitude regions.

Objective To explore the imaging findings of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor(AT/RT)in the central nervous sys-tem of children and to improve the understanding of this disease.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the imaging data of 55 children with AT/RT confirmed by pathology.Results Among the 55 AT/RT children,74.5％were under 3 years old,with a male-to-female ratio of 1.5∶1.Intracranial AT/RT appeared hyperdense or slightly hyperdense on CT scans and accompa-nied by calcification or hemorrhage occasionally.32 cases showed peripheral cystic changes in MRI images.38 cases showed heteroge-neous enhancement,9 cases showed ring-like or band-like enhancement.13 cases showed cerebrospinal fluid dissemination.The mean minimum apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)value was(0.61±0.11)× 10-3mm2/s.Spinal AT/RT manifested as solitary or mul-tiple intramedullary and/or extradural lesions on MRI,which showed unclear boundary from the spinal cord.Hemorrhage within or at the edge of the lesion was seen in 2 cases,involvement of nerve roots and adjacent muscle tissues in 3 cases,and cerebrospinal fluid dissemination of the intracranial and spinal cord at varying degrees in 5 cases.Conclusion The imaging findings of pediatric AT/RT in the central nervous system are diverse,combining imaging characteristics with age of onset facilitates the accurate diagnosis.

Objective To explore the factors influencing blood drug concentrations of first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in fixed-dose combinations by analyzing therapeutic drug monitoring data from tuberculosis patients receiving these regimens.Methods This retrospective study enrolled 224 patients who received treatment at Guangzhou Chest Hospital between January 2020 and December 2024.All participants underwent standardized therapy during the intensive phase,with therapeutic drug monitoring of first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs(ANTDs),including isoniazid(INH)and rifampicin(RFP).Data collection was completed in January 2025,at which time clinical records and measured INH and RFP plasma concentrations were updated.Data analysis was conducted from January to February 2025.Eight baseline variables—gender,age,hypoproteinemia(serum albumin<35 g/L),glomerular filtration rate(GFR),and others—were collected.Univariate chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors associated with subtherapeutic INH and RFP plasma concentrations.Results Among the study participants,71.43%(160/224)exhibited blood drug concentrations below the reference range for INH,compared to 41.07%(92/224)for RFP.The mean blood concentrations(mg/L,±SD)were 2.532±1.371 for INH and 9.428±4.317 for RFP,respectively.One-way analysis indicated significant associations between male gender,positive etiological test results,and subtherapeutic RFP concentrations(P<0.05),suggesting statistically significant differences.Multivariate regression analysis further revealed that male gender(OR=1.992,95%CI:1.094～3.628)and positive etiological tests(OR=1.929,95%CI:1.058～3.517)were independent risk factors for low RFP levels.Conclusions This study demonstrates that therapeutic drug monitoring(TDM)frequently identifies subtherapeutic RFP concentrations in tuberculosis patients undergoing treatment.Multivariate analysis reveals that male sex and positive pathogen test results are independent risk factors associated with low RFP plasma levels.Consequently,clinicians should exercise heightened vigilance in patients exhibiting these characteristics,promptly implementing TDM to guide individualized dose adjustments.Such an approach is crucial for optimizing treatment efficacy and minimizing the risk of drug resistance development.

Acquired severe aplastic anemia (SAA) in children is a bone marrow failure disease characterized by reduced proliferation of marrow nucleated cells and decreased peripheral blood levels of two or three blood cell lines.Treatment options mainly include immunosuppressive therapy and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.The primary advantage of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) is the availability of a donor for nearly everyone.With ongoing improvements in conditioning regimens, haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has made significant progress.This paper aims to review the research progress on haplo-HSCT for treating acquired SAA in children, providing reference for clinical practice.
