ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism of Dingchuan Granule (定喘颗粒, DG) in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pneumonia. MethodsA total of 60 male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, ribavirin group, DG low-dose group, DG middle-dose group, and DG high-dose group, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the control group, rats were administrated with RSV via intranasal drip. After model establishment, the DG low-, middle-, and high-dose groups were administrated via oral gavage with DG at 3.47, 6.93, and 13.86 g/(kg·d) respectively, while the ribavirin group was administrated via oral gavage with ribavirin at 15.75 mg/(kg·d). The drug was given once daily for one week. The rats in the control group and the model group were not given any drug, only subjected to the grasping action. Twenty-four hours after the last administration, the pathological changes of lung tissues were observed and scored using HE staining. The levels of serum inflammatory factors, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6), were detected by colorimetry. The protein levels of nuclear factor (erythroid derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), and NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) in lung tissues were measured by Western Blot. The RSV load as well as the gene expression levels of Nrf2, Keap1, HO-1, and NQO1 in lung tissues were determined by qRT-PCR. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in rat lung tissues was detected using chemiluminescence. The levels of glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in rat lung tissues were measured by a microassay. ResultsCompared with the control group, other groups had significant increases in pathological score of lung tissue, RSV load, levels of ROS, MDA, serum TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6; decrease in GSH level, increases in expression level of Keap1 protein and its mRNA in lung tissue, and significant decrease in levels of Nrf2, HO-1, expression level of NQO1 protein and its mRNA (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, all the above-mentioned indicators in the DG low-, middle-, and high-dose groups and the ribavirin group were improved to varying degree (P<0.05). The levels of serum TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in rats of DG dose groups showed a dose-dependent pattern, the DG high-dose group exhibiting the best effect (P<0.05). The DG high-dose group was superior to the DG low- and middle-dose groups in reducing the levels of ROS and MDA, and increasing the level of GSH in lung tissues (P<0.05). The DG high-dose group and the ribavirin group had better effect than the DG middle-dose group in reducing the RSV load (P<0.05). The DG high-dose group was superior to the ribavirin group in improving the protein levels of Nrf2, Keap1, HO-1, and NQO1 (P<0.05). ConclusionDG could inhibit oxidative stress by regulating the Nrf2/Keap1/HO-1/NQO1 signaling pathway to improve pulmonary inflammation and treat RSV pneumonia, with the DG high-dose group showing the best effect.

Ketamine, a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, has gained increasing attention for its rapid antidepressant effects in treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and suicidal ideation. Its mechanisms include NMDA receptor blockade, AMPA receptor activation, and upregulation of BDNF/mTOR signaling. Its enantiomers, esketamine and R-ketamine, as well as its metabolites, exhibit differences in efficacy and mechanisms. Intranasal esketamine has been approved in the Europe, United States, and China for TRD, demonstrating rapid efficacy in alleviating depressive symptoms and acute suicidal ideation. In contrast, R-ketamine demonstrates potential for longer-lasting effects and a improved safety profile. This review summarizes recent advances in the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and clinical applications of ketamine and its enantiomers in depressive disorders, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Despite ketamine's multifaceted therapeutic potential, safety concerns such as dissociation, cognitive impairment, and abuse liability warrant continued attention.[Funded by Key Project of Natural Science Research for Universities of Anhui Provincial Education Department (number, 2023AH050647); Anhui Provincial Department of Education Outstanding Young Talent Support Program Project 2022 (number, gxyqZD2022022)]

Objective To investigate the effects of long-term exposure to three new types of light emitting diode (LED) sources on the behavior, learning, and memory of rats. Methods A total of 160 specific pathogen-free SD rats were divided into eight groups as followed, trichromatic fluorescent lamps color temperature control group, violet-chip full-spectrum white LED group, blue-chip white LED group, and blue-chip full-spectrum white LED group based on the light sources types, with color temperature of 4 000 K and 6 500 K groups in each group using the 4×2 factorial design. There were 20 rats in each group, with half of the rats were males and half females. Rats were exposed to artificial lighting, and the illumination was set at 750 lx. The rats in each group were exposed to different lighting environments for 12 hours per day for 24 weeks. The open-field and step-down tests were conducted in rats after 24 weeks exposure, followed by sacrifice of rats and measurement of organ coefficients. Differences in body weight, organ coefficients, and neurobehavioral indexes of rats in different groups were compared. Results The spleen coefficient of female rats decreased in blue-chip white LED of 6 500 K color temperature group, and the liver coefficient of male rats decreased in the violet-chip full-spectrum white LED of 4 000 K color temperature, blue-chip full-spectrum white LED of 4 000 K color temperature, and blue-chip full-spectrum white LED of 6 500 K color temperature groups, compared with the same-sex rats in trichromatic fluorescent lamps with same-color temperature control group (all P<0.05). The result of different types of light sources compared in the open-field test showed that the index of total distance and movement speed of female rats in the blue-chip full-spectrum white LED group were lower than those in the other three groups, and the time cost to the central area was longer than that in the blue-chip white LED group and the violet-chip full-spectrum white LED group (all P<0.05). The total distance and movement speed of male rats in the blue-chip full-spectrum white LED group were longer or higher than those in the violet-chip full-spectrum white LED group (all P<0.05). Based on the comparison of color temperature, the time and total distance of male rats in 6 500 K color temperature group were lower than that in the 4 000 K color temperature group (both P<0.05). In the step-down test, both male and female rats in the blue-chip full-spectrum white LED group made more errors compared with other three groups with the same gender (all P<0.05). Conclusion Based on the experimental conditions of this study, the blue-chip full-spectrum white light LED affects behavior, learning and memory of the rats, and trichromatic fluorescent lamp has the lowest effect on neurobehavior. The color temperature also affects behavior of the rats, and high color temperature has higher risk.

In recent years, endovascular therapy has become the most important progress in the field of the treatment of acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion. However, the vascular recanalization shown by imaging after endovascular treatment cannot fully translate into effective tissue reperfusion and functional outcome, a phenomenon known as "futile recanalization". Combined neuroprotective therapy after vascular recanalization is expected to reduce the occurrence of futile recanalization and improve the outcome of patients. This article briefly summarizes the main application progress of commonly used neuroprotective therapies in clinical practice (edaravone dexborneol, glucocorticoids, hypothermia, and remote ischemic conditioning). It explores the trend and direction of combining endovascular therapy and neuroprotective therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion, and provides further reference and suggestions for intervention measures after endovascular therapy.
