ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the mechanism by which Yishen Huoxue Tongqiao Formula improves metabolism-neuroplasticity and treats unilateral vestibular labyrinth destruction by regulating the metabolic balance of glutamate （Glu）/γ-aminobutyric acid （GABA）. Methods48 Sprague-Dawley （SD） adult rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group， model group， Yishen Huoxue Tongqiao Formula groups with low， medium， and high doses （9.20， 18.39， 36.78 g·kg^-1）， and betahistine group （1.62 mg·kg^-1）. A unilateral vestibular labyrinth destruction （vestibular dysfunction） model was established by intratympanic injection of chloroform into the right ear， while the control group received intratympanic injection of normal saline. Drugs were administered once daily for seven consecutive days. During the period， behavioral tests were performed to evaluate the behaviors of rats after unilateral vestibular labyrinth destruction. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and Nissl staining were used to observe the neuronal morphology in the medial vestibular nucleus. Golgi staining was employed to assess the number of dendritic spines of neurons in the medial vestibular nucleus. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （LC-ESI-MS/MS） was utilized to detect Glu/GABA. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expressions of neuronal nuclei （NeuN）， growth-associated protein 43 （GAP-43）， and glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP）. Western blot and real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） were applied to determine the expressions of glutamate-immunoreactive （Glu-IR）， GABA， GFAP， postsynaptic density protein 95 （PSD-95）， and GAP-43. ResultsCompared with the sham operation group， the model group presented with head deviation， balance disorder， increased tail suspension score， nuclear consolidation of medial vestibular nerve neurons， and decreased Nissl bodies （P<0.01）. The number of dendritic spines in neurons and NeuN-positive cells decreased. The content of Glu decreased. The content of GABA increased （Glu/GABA decreased）. The expression of GAP-43 was down-regulated， and GFAP was up-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The expressions of Glu-IR， PSD-95， and GAP-43 proteins， as well as Glu-IR mRNA decreased， while the expressions of GABA and GFAP proteins and mRNA increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with those in the model group， the head deviation， imbalanced behavior， and tail suspension scores in each treatment group decreased， with alleviated neuronal injury and recovered Nissl bodies （P<0.01）. The number of dendritic spines of neurons increased， and the number of NeuN-positive cells rebounded. The content of Glu increased， and the content of GABA decreased （Glu/GABA increased）. GFAP was down-regulated， and GAP-43 was up-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The expressions of Glu-IR， PMD-95， and GAP-43 proteins， as well as Glu-IR mRNA increased， while the expressions of GABA and GFAP proteins and mRNA decreased. The effect was more significant in the high-dose group （P<0.01）. ConclusionThe Yishen Huoxue Tongqiao Formula can alleviate vestibular dysfunction， and its mechanism may be associated with regulating the metabolic balance of Glu/GABA， mitigating neural damage， improving synaptic plasticity （promoting GAP-43 expression and inhibiting GFAP expression）， and facilitating vestibular compensation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for rebleeding after endoscopic therapy for esophageal and gastric varices in liver cirrhosis patients， to construct a clinical predictive model， and to provide a reference for predicting rebleeding in the early stage， reducing the incidence rate of rebleeding， and improving the clinical outcome of patients. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 194 liver cirrhosis patients with gastroesophageal variceal bleeding who received initial endoscopic therapy at Department of Gastroenterology， The Second People’s Hospital of Lanzhou， from January 1， 2021 to May 31， 2025. According to whether rebleeding occurred within 1 year after endoscopic therapy， the patients were divided into rebleeding group and non-rebleeding group. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The patients enrolled were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set at a ratio of 7∶3. In the training set， the Lasso regression analysis was used to obtain optimal predictive variables， and the factors that might affect prognosis were included in the univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses to identify independent predictive factors for rebleeding after endoscopic therapy for esophageal and gastric varices in liver cirrhosis patients， which were used to construct a nomogram model. In both the training set and the validation set， the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve and the calibration curve were used to assess the discriminatory ability and calibration of the model， and decision curve analysis and the clinical impact curve were used to assess the clinical practicability of the model. ResultsAmong the 194 liver cirrhosis patients with esophageal and gastric varices， 116 （59.79%） experienced rebleeding within 1 year after endoscopic therapy， with 76 patients in the training set and 40 patients in the validation set. In the training set， the Lasso regression analysis and the univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that etiology of liver cirrhosis （odds ratio ［OR］=3.540， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.520 — 7.150， P<0.001）， Child-Pugh class （OR=3.560， 95%CI： 1.380 — 9.500， P=0.019）， severity of esophageal and gastric varices （OR=8.190， 95%CI： 3.568 — 17.850， P=0.026）， and main portal vein diameter （OR=2.954， 95%CI： 1.349 — 15.030， P=0.044） were independent predictive factors for rebleeding of esophageal and gastric varices in liver cirrhosis patients. A nomogram model was constructed based on the above independent predictive factors. The ROC curve analysis showed that this model had an area under the ROC curve of 0.845 （95%CI： 0.778 — 0.912） in the training set and 0.801 （95%CI： 0.798 — 0.868） in the validation set. The model had an index of concordance of 0.832 in the training set and 0.820 in the validation set， suggesting that the model had a good discriminatory ability. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed P values of 0.320 and 0.550 in the training set and validation set， respectively， the calibration curve indicated that the predicted probabilities of the nomogram model were in good concordance with the actual observed probabilities， suggesting that the model had good calibration. The decision curve analysis and the clinical impact curve showed that the model had good clinical utility. ConclusionThe nomogram model based on etiology of liver cirrhosis， Child-Pugh class， severity of esophageal and gastric varices， and main portal vein diameter has a certain clinical value in predicting the risk of rebleeding from esophageal and gastric varices in liver cirrhosis.

Objective:To construct a machine learning model based on localization CT-based radiomics, dosiomics and clinical features for predicting radiotherapy response in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and validate its application value.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. A total of 138 NSCLC patients who received radiotherapy at the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2016 to December 2022 were selected. The efficacy was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1, and the patients were stratified according to the objective remission (complete remission+partial remission). Random stratified sampling was used to divide the 138 patients into a training group (96 cases) and an internal validation group (42 cases) at a ratio of 7∶3. Additionally, 33 patients who received radiotherapy at Jining Cancer Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were included as the external validation group. Based on the pre-radiotherapy data of the radiotherapy planning system, PyRadiomics software package was used to extract 107 radiomics features and 107 dosiomics features for each patient. Pearson correlation analysis and LASSO regression analysis were used for dimensionality reduction screening; the final selected features were weighted and integrated to generate radiomics-dosiomics scores (RDS), which were then input into logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), extremely randomized forest (Extra Trees), K-nearest neighbor algorithm (KNN), lightweight gradient boosting machine (Light GBM), and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) machine learning algorithms to construct 6 radiomics-dosiomics models (RDM) for predicting the objective remission. RECIST 1.1 standard was used to evaluate objective remission as the gold standard, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 6 RDM for predicting objective remission was plotted, and the optimal algorithm for RDM was selected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed on demographic characteristics, hematological indicators and radiotherapy parameters of the training group to screen independent risk factors for NSCLC patients who received radiotherapy but did not achieve objective remission. These factors were input into the optimal machine learning algorithm to construct a clinical model (CM). Combined with features from RDS and CM, the clinical feature-radiomics-dosiomics combined model (CRDM) was established, and the nomogram of the model for predicting objective remission in NSCLC patients with radiotherapy was drawn. ROC curves were used to evaluate the efficacy of CM, RDM and CRDM in predicting the objective remission in NSCLC patients with radiotherapy in the training group, internal validation group and external validation group.Results:Four radiomics features (including grayscale variance, low grayscale long-range operation emphasis, low grayscale area emphasis, and small area low grayscale area emphasis, all of which were texture features) and 6 dosiomics features [including 1 first-order feature (robust mean absolute deviation), 4 texture features (grayscale non-uniformity, large area emphasis, large area high grayscale emphasis, contrast) and 1 shape feature (shortest axis length)] were selected. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the RDM constructed using SVM algorithm for judging the objective remission in the training group and the internal validation group was 0.907 (95% CI: 0.836-0.977) and 0.822 (95% CI: 0.685-0.959), which were higher than RDM constructed using other algorithms, and the sensitivity (96.2% and 91.7%), specificity (78.6% and 76.7%) and accuracy (83.3% and 81.0%) at the optimal cut-off values were all higher. Considering the stability and generalization ability of the model, SVM algorithm was ultimately used to construct RDM, CM and CRDM uniformly. Based on training group data, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elevated platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) ( OR = 1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.003, P = 0.035) and increased target volume of radiotherapy plan ( OR = 1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.001, P = 0.008) were independent risk factors for failure to achieve objective remission. ROC curve analysis showed that in the training group and the internal validation group, the AUC of CRDM predicting objective remission were 0.914 (95% CI: 0.856-0.972) and 0.864 (95% CI: 0.754-0.974), respectively, which were better than CM [AUC were 0.735 (95% CI: 0.612-0.857) and 0.697 (95% CI: 0.507-0.888)] and RDM, respectively. In the external validation group, the AUC of CRDM, CM and RDM were 0.778 (95% CI: 0.500-1.000), 0.667 (95% CI: 0.434-0.899) and 0.741 (95% CI: 0.463-1.000), respectively. Conclusions:The CRDM constructed by combining radiomics, dosiomics and clinical features can comprehensively and accurately evaluate the radiotherapy response of NSCLC patients, and may have important clinical application value in achieving precision medicine and optimizing treatment strategies.

Objective:To develop and validate a combined model integrating radiomics, dosiomics, and clinical parameters based on CT simulation and dosimetric images in order to predict the occurrence of radiation pneumonitis (RP) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the clinic data of 143 NSCLC patients who received radiotherapy at the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2016 to December 2022. Patients were randomly stratified into a training group ( n = 100) and an internal validation group ( n = 43) at a 7∶3 ratio. Moreover, clinic data were collected from 34 NSCLC patients who received radiotherapy at the Jining Cancer Hospital between January 2019 and December 2022 as an external validation group. All three groups (the training group, internal validation, and external validation groups) were further categorized into two groups based on the RP severity (i.e., RP ≥ grade 2 and RP < grade 2). Their radiotherapy dose, CT simulation, and 3D dose distribution images were collected. Then, the total lung minus planning target volume (TL-PTV) was defined as the region of interest (ROI) for radiomics and dosiomic feature extraction, followed by feature dimensionality reduction. Consequently, key features associated with RP were determined. Four predictive models were developed using machine learning approaches (especially multilayer perceptron, MLP): a clinical model (CM), a radiomics model (RM), a dosiomics model (DM), and a radiomics and dosiomics nomogram (RDN), with a nomogram subsequently constructed. Ultimately, the performance and clinical feasibility of these models were assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC), area under the curve (AUC), and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:A total of 1 834 radiomic features and 1 834 dosiomic features were extracted. Using the occurrence of RP ≥ grade 2 as the marker variable, 14 radiomic features, 15 dosiomic features, and three clinical features were selected from the training group to construct the prediction models (CM, RM, DM, and RDN). The performance and generalizability of these models were subsequently validated in both the internal validation and external validation groups. Specifically, the RDN exhibited AUCs of 0.915 (95% CI: 0.852-0.978), 0.879 (95% CI: 0.777-0.982), and 0.838 (95% CI: 0.701-0.975) in the three groups, respectively. A nomogram was established for RDN by integrating the radiomics score (R-score), dosiomics score (D-score), mean lung dose (MLD), V20, and V30. This nomogram allowed for individualized risk estimation of RP and facilitated personalized radiotherapy planning. Conclusions:The RDN model that is developed based on CT simulation and 3D dose distribution images and integrates radiomics, dosiomics, and clinical features can effectively predict the RP risk of NSCLC patients. The integration of multidimensional data contributes to the formation of the optimal predictive model, offering guidance for clinicians.

OBJECTIVE To establish an ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)method for determination of dexmedetomidine(DEX)in plasma of beagle dogs and evaluate the pharmacokinetics and sedation after nasal,buccal and sublingual mucosal admin-istration.METHODS A UPLC-MS/MS method was established and validated for dertermination of DEX in plasma of beagle dogs.DEX was administered to the nasal cavity,buccal and sublingual mucous membranes of beagle dogs,respectively.Blood samples were collected at different time points.The plasma concentration of DEX was measured by the established UPLC-MS/MS method.Pharmacokinetic parameters were fitted by Phoenix software and the sedative effect at different mucous membrane sites was evaluated in conjunction with behavioral and Ramsay scores.RESULTS The linearity of DEX was fine within the range of 0.05-100 μg·L-1(r>0.999),which was validated methodologically to meet the requirements of quantitative detection.The plasma concentration of the drug peaked the fastest with nasal administration.Tmax was 0.25 h,Cmax(4.43±1.19)μg·L-1,and the AUC0-6h was(8.92±2.07)μg·h·L-1,compared with 0.92 and 1 h,(2.87±0.69),(2.70±0.41)μg·L-1,and(7.99±1.77),(7.01±2.09)μg·h·L-1 with buccal and sublingual administration.Nasal administration had the fastest onset at 7 min,with a Ramsay score of 4,and sedation lasted for 36 min,compared with 33 and 35 min,and 38 and 37 min for buccal and sublingual administration.CONCLUSION The proposed method is sensitive,reliable and applicable to quantitative analysis of DEX in plasma of beagle dogs.Administration of DEX to the nasal cavity mucosa has a faster onset and a better sedative effect than to the buccal and sublingual mucosa.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of vesicular stomatitis virus envelope glycopro-tein-G(VSV-G)modification on the mucosal immune efficacy of antigen-loaded engineered exosome vaccines.METHODS In vitro experiments:Dendritic cells(DCs)were divided into three groups:cell-control(treated with culture medium),receptor binding domain(RBD)(transfected with plasmid RBD),and RBD+VSV-G(co-transfected with plasmids RBD and VSV-G).Expression levels of RBD and VSV-G were assessed using Western blotting,flow cytometry,and immunofluorescence.Exosomes were extracted via ultracentrifugation,whose morphology,size distribution,and marker proteins were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy,nanoparticle tracking analysis,and Western blotting that confirmed the expressions of RBD and VSV-G in the exosomes.In vivo experiments:① Female BALB/c mice were divided into the control group Mock exosomes(Mock-Exo)(derived from the supernatant of cell-control),RBD decorated exosomes(RBD-Exo)(derived from the RBD cell supernatant),and RBD and VSV-G decorated exosomes(RBD+VSV-G-Exo)(derived from RBD+VSV-G cell supernatant).Follow-ing intranasal immunization with the respective vaccines,the nasal retention effects were evaluated using in vivo imaging.Flow cytometry was used to assess the ability to recruit immune cells to the nasal tissue.Serum RBD-specific immunoglobulin G(IgG)and mucosal immunoglobulin A(IgA)(bronchoal-veolar lavage fluid/nasal wash)were quantified at 7 and 21 d post-immunization by enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay.Body weight changes were monitored and key serum biochemical parameters along with histopathological damage to major organs were analyzed following immunization.② Female BALB/c mice were divided into the Mock-Exo group(intranasally inoculated with Mock-Exo),RBD+VSV-G-Exo group(intranasally inoculated with RBD+VSV-G-Exo),and RBD+VSV-G-Exo(im)group(intramus-cularly injected with RBD+VSV-G-Exo).RESULTS In vitro experiments:RBD and VSV-G were successfully expressed in cells,with positive rates of RBD+and VSV-G+cells at 64.4%and 31.2%,respectively.The extracted exosomes exhibited regular morphology and qualified purity,with a particle size of approximately 138 nm and successfully loaded RBD and VSV-G proteins.In vivo experiments:Compared to Mock-Exo and RBD-Exo,RBD+VSV-G-Exo prolonged nasal retention time to 96 h and markedly increased the numbers of CD49B+natural killer cells,CD11c+dendritic cells,and F4/80+macrophages in nasal tissues.RBD+VSV-G-Exo induced robust RBD-specific immune responses,with serum IgG titers,BALF IgA titers,and nasal wash IgA titers reaching 1∶5 215,1∶2 560,1∶1 114,respec-tively.In contrast,no RBD-specific IgA antibody titers were detected in the BALF and nasal wash of mice treated with RBD+VSV-G-Exo(im).Mice showed stable body weight gain during 30 d post-immu-nization.Major serum biochemical indices were within normal reference ranges,and no obvious patho-logical changes were observed in major organs or olfactory bulbs 7 d after immunization.CONCLU-SION VSV-G modification extends the retention time of engineered exosome vaccines in nasal tissues,enhance their ability to recruit immune cells,and induce a high-level antigen-specific respiratory mucosal immune response.

In modern society, people are increasingly exposed to chronic stress, leading to various mental disorders. However, the activities of brain regions, especially neural firing patterns related to specific behaviors, remain unclear. In this study, we introduce a novel approach, NeuroSync, which integrates open-field behavioral testing with electrophysiological recordings from emotion-related brain regions, specifically the central amygdala and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, to explore the mechanisms of negative emotions induced by chronic stress in mice. By applying machine vision techniques, we quantified behaviors in the open field, and signal processing algorithms elucidated the neural underpinnings of the observed behaviors. Synchronizing behavioral and electrophysiological data revealed significant correlations between neural firing patterns and stress-related behaviors, providing insights into real-time brain activity underlying behavioral responses. This research combines deep learning and machine learning to synchronize high-resolution video and electrophysiological data, offering new insights into neural-behavioral dynamics under chronic stress conditions.
