Cognitive dysfunction is one of the serious complications of type 2 diabetes.Exercise interven-tion has a certain effect on improving diabetes cognition,but the exact process remains ambiguous.This research aims to explore the impact and molecular processes of treadmill exercises in enhancing cognitive impairments in type 2 diabetic mice.Ten m/m 8-week-old male mice were used as the control group.Forty db/db mice,each 8 weeks old and male,were categorized into four distinct groups with each group containing 10 mice,including the db/db group(model group),db+Exe group(exercise group),db+Exe+SB203580 group(exercise combined with the p38 MAPK inhibitor group),db+SB203580 group(p38 MAPK inhibitor group).db+Exe group and db+Exe+SB203580 group were subjected to treadmill running intervention(40 min/time,5 times/week,a total of 8 weeks).db+Exe+SB203580 and db+SB203580 group were intraperitoneally injected with SB203580(5 mg/kg,5 times/week,8 weeks)2 hours before treadmill exercise.The results of body weights and fasting blood glucose measurement showed that 8-week treadmill exercise could significantly reduce the body mass and fasting blood glucose levels(P＜0.01);the results of water maze showed that treadmill exercise improved cognitive dysfunction in diabetic mice(P＜0.05).Immunofluorescence staining revealed that treadmill exercise diminished the fluorescence intensity of NLRP3 in hippocampus,and there was a significant difference in CA1 and CA3 regions(P＜0.05).Treadmill exercise reduced the fluorescence intensity of PI in the hippocampus,and there was a significant difference in the DG region(P＜0.01).The results of qRT-PCR revealed that treadmill exercise decreased IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA levels in hippocampus,with a notable difference in IL-1β mRNA levels(P＜0.05).Western blotting analysis revealed that treadmill exercise reduced the concentrations of Caspase3,Caspase9 and Bax in hippocampus(P＜0.01),reduced the concentrations of TXNIP,NLRP3,GSDMD-N,IL-1β,IL-18,Cleaved Caspase1 and Caspasel(P＜0.05),decreased the levels of p-RIPK1,RIPK1,p-RIPK3 and RIPK3(P＜0.05).After adding p38 inhibitors,treadmill ex-ercise combined with p38 inhibitor intervention further inhibited the expression of Caspase3,TXNIP,GS-DMD-N and IL-18(P＜0.05),and the expression levels of Caspase9,Bax,NLRP3,IL-1β,Cleaved Caspase 1 and Caspase 1 also showed a downward trend.The expression of RIPK1 and p-RIPK3 in-creased significantly(P＜0.05),and the protein expression levels of p-p38,p-RIPK1 and RIPK3 showed an upward trend.In conclusion,treadmill running intervention can effectively improve the cogni-tive dysfunction in type 2 diabetic mice,and its mechanism is partly through the p38 MAPK signaling pathway to regulate PANoptosis.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of ivabradine in the treatment of chronic heart failure （CHF） in the context of “Quadruple Therapy” from the perspective of the health system. METHODS Based on real-world cohort data， the Markov model was constructed according to the natural progression of CHF， with a cycle time of 3 months， a study timeframe of 20 years， and a discount rate of 5%. Using quality-adjusted life year （QALY） and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios （ICER） as the output indexes， the cost-utility analysis was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of ivabradine in combination with the “Quadruple Therapy” regimen， compared with the “Quadruple Therapy” regimen for the treatment of CHF， and the robustness of the results of the base analysis was verified by univariate sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis. RESULTS The results of the base analysis showed that the ICER of ivabradine combined with the “Quadruple Therapy” regimen was 165 065.54 yuan/QALY， compared with the “Quadruple Therapy” regimen， which was lower than the willingness-to-pay （WTP） threshold （257 094 yuan/QALY） based on 3 times of China’s gross domestic product （GDP） per capita in 2022. The results of the univariate sensitivity analysis showed that the discount rate had the greatest impact on the robustness of the model. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed that the probability that the ivabradine combined with the “Quadruple Therapy” regimen was cost-effective under the WTP threshold in this study was 59.50%. CONCLUSIONS When using 3 times China’s 2022 GDP per capita （257 094 yuan/ QALY） as the WTP threshold， the combination of ivabradine and the “Quadruple Therapy” regimen for treating CHF is cost- effective.

Objective:To study the feasibility of domestic flow diverter(TFD) for the treatment of unruptured internal carotid artery small- and medium-sized wide-neck aneurysms.Methods:This is a retrospective case series study.The study retrospectively evaluated consecutive 54 patients with unruptured intracranial small- and medium-sized wide-neck aneurysms treated with TFD in the Department of Cerebrovascular Disease,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between October 2019 and January 2024. There were 11 males and 43 females, and the age of patients was (54.9±9.6) years (range:36 to 74 years). There were 63 aneurysms in 54 patients,6 of which were tandem multiple small aneurysms. One case had saccular aneurysms of bilateral internal carotid artery. The maximum diameter of aneurysm was (4.1±0.8) mm (range: 1.5 to 10.0 mm).The ratio of the maximum diameter of the aneurysm to the neck width diameter was 1.3±0.4 (range:0.4 to 2.4). The surgical and follow-up data were collected. The aneurysm embolization rate at the immediate operation and follow-up,and the complications were analyzed. The degree of aneurysm embolization was evaluated using the O′Kelly-Marotta (OKM) grading system,with OKM grade D as complete occlusion and grade C and above (C1,C2,C3 and D) as successful occlusion. Clinical outcomes of all patients were evaluated by modified Rankin scale(mRS).Results:For 63 aneurysms, 48 aneurysms were treated with TFD alone,and 15 aneurysms were treated with a combination of TFD and coiling. The immediate postoperative successful occlusion rate was 14.3% (9/63) and the complete occlusion rate was 3.2% (2/63). Follow-up results were obtained for all of the patients. The follow-up time ( M(IQR)) was 124 (182) days (range: 85 to 754 days). The time to aneurysm successful occlusion was 140.5 (151.5) days (range: 85 to 308 days). At final follow-up,the successful aneurysm occlusion rate was 68.3% (43/63) and the complete occlusion rate was 58.7% (37/63). The complete occlusion rate of the TFD group was 50.0% (24/48) and the TFD+coiling group was 13/15. All patients had no aneurysm rupture,ischemic complications and no recurrence of the aneurysm needed to retreatment during the intraoperative and follow-up period. A total of 3 mild haemorrhagic complications which were related to dual-antiplatelet agents. Twelve patients had asymptomatic mild-moderate stent stenosis. TFD covered 66 branch vessels totally. Only 6 branches were affected by the time of the last follow-up and none of the patients had relevant ischaemic symptoms. All of 54 patients were evaluated as mRS score<2 points at the last follow-up. Conclusion:Using TFD to treat internal carotid artery unruptured small and medium-sized wide-neck aneurysms can simplify the surgical procedure with low complication rate, which is a clinically optional treatment approach.

Objective To study the effect of curcumin on osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(hBMSCs)in high glucose condition and its mechanism.Methods The cultured hBMSCs were divided into the normal group,high glucose group,and high glucose+curcumin group.The early osteogenic differentiation level of the cells in each group was assessed by detecting alkaline phosphatase(ALP)activity.Alizarin red staining was used to evaluate the formation of mineralized nodules in the late stage of osteo-genic differentiation.The expression of osteogenic-related genes,including Runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2),osteocalcin(OCN),and type Ⅰ collagen(COL-1),was detected by RT-PCR after 21 days of osteogenic induction.Western blot was used to detect the expression of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)in each group.Furthermore,an HO-1 small interfering RNA(siRNA)model was constructed and its interference efficiency was assessed.The expression levels of osteogenesis-related proteins(Runx2,OCN,and COL-1)between the high glucose+curcumin group and high glucose+curcumin+siHO-1 group were compared.Results Compared with the normal group,the high glucose group showed decreased ALP activity,reduced formation of mineralized nodules,decreased expression of osteogenic-related genes(Runx2,OCN,and COL-1),and inhibited expression of HO-1(P＜0.05).Compared with the empty vector group,the siHO-1 group showed significantly reduced expression of HO-1 in cells,indicating successful siRNA interference(P＜0.01).Compared with the high glucose+curcumin group,the expression levels of osteogenesis-related proteins(OCN,COL-1,and Runx2)were all decreased in the high glucose+curcumin+siHO-1 group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Curcumin can promote osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs under high glucose environment,which is related to the expression of HO-1.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of domestic generic and imported original clopidogrel for antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome （ACS）. METHODS The clinical data of ACS patients in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of China Pharmaceutical University from January 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively collected by using electronic medical record system， and the patients were divided into original drug group （321 cases） and generic drug group （328 cases） according to the drug use. Both groups were given dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin. The effectiveness and safety outcomes of the two groups were followed up for 12 months and compared， the related influential factors were analyzed. RESULTS Major adverse cardiovascular events （MACE） occurred in 16 and 22 patients in original drug group and generic drug group respectively， including nonfatal myocardial infarction （4 and 5 cases）， stroke （2 and 4 cases）， revascularization （8 and 3 cases）， cardiovascular related death （2 and 4 cases）， and all-cause death （4 and 6 cases）. There were 12 and 7 patients with major bleeding events， 38 and 29 patients with minor bleeding events， and 33 and 21 patients with non-bleeding adverse events. There was no statistically significant difference in the cumulative incidence of related events （P values of Log-Rank tests were all greater than 0.05）. Cox regression analysis showed that the use of generic clopidogrel did not increase the risk of MACE and major bleeding events in ACS patients [hazard ratio of 1.305 and 0.416， 95% confidence interval of （0.678， 2.512） and （0.155， 1.117）， respectively， P＞0.05]， and the combination of proton pump inhibitors （PPI） could reduce the risk of major bleeding events [hazard ratio of 0.196， 95% confidence interval of （0.063， 0.611）， P＜0.05]. CONCLUSIONS Compared with imported original drug， domestic generic clopidogrel has similar clinical effectiveness and good safety. Combined use of PPI may be a beneficial factor to reduce the occurrence of major bleeding events in patients.
