High mobility group box protein 1(HMGB1)is one of the most widely expressed protein member in the HMGs family,which is well known for its involvement in the body inflammatory response.Previous researches have found that it plays a significant role in cell migration,immune identification and neuroprotection.Spinal cord injury is a disease that causes severe damage to the nervous system,and neural circuits are disrupted after a spinal cord injury,which leads to many conditions including ischemia and hypoxia,inflammatory responses,demyelinating lesions,and glial scar formation that are detrimental to nerve regeneration and repair,making it one of the most difficult diseases to treat in the modern spinal surgery field.HMGB1 is upregulated after spinal cord injury,thereby regulating neuroinflam-matory responses,and participating in the neuronal apoptosis,promoting neuronal regeneration,and inducing neural stem cell differentiation and migration,which plays an important role in the process of neural function recovery.This paper summarizes the structure and function of HMGB1,as well as its role in spinal cord injury,in order to provide direction for founding therapeutic target for neurological function recovery after spinal cord injury.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism by which lycopene prevents and alleviates ionizing radiation-induced intestinal injury.Methods:Forty specific pathogen-free male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (gavage with an equal volume of corn oil), radiation group (gavage with an equal volume of corn oil and exposed to a single dose of 12 Gy X-ray irradiation on day 3), lycopene group (gavage with lycopene), and lycopene + radiation group (gavage with lycopene and irradiated with 12 Gy X-ray on day 3). All gavage treatments continued for 7 days after irradiation. On day 7 post-irradiation, intestinal tissues were collected. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE), Masson's trichrome, and Sirius red staining were used to assess intestinal injury and fibrosis. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Immunofluorescence staining was performed to assess the expression of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in intestinal tissues. Serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) were measured to evaluate oxidative stress. mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and CD68 in intestinal tissue was quantified using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Western blot was used to detect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. One-way ANOVA was used to compare differences among groups.Results:Compared with the radiation group, the lycopene + radiation group showed significantly reduced radiation-induced intestinal injury index, fibrosis, and expression of α-SMA, TGF-β, and CTGF (all P<0.05). Oxidative stress assays showed that serum MDA levels were decreased, while T-SOD, T-AOC, and GSH-PX activities were significantly increased in the lycopene + radiation group (all P<0.05). The mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6 was significantly downregulated (all P<0.05), while pro-apoptotic protein expression was reduced and anti-apoptotic protein expression was upregulated (all P < 0.05) in the lycopene + radiation group. Conclusions:Lycopene significantly alleviates ionizing radiation-induced intestinal injury through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects, making it a promising agent for the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced intestinal injury.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a prevalent clinical vascular condition and serves as a pivotal pathological foundation for cardiovascular diseases. Understanding the pathogenesis of AS has significant clinical and societal implications, aiding in the development of targeted drugs. Neutrophils, the most abundant leukocytes in circulation, assume a central role during inflammatory responses and closely interact with AS, which is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are substantial reticular formations discharged by neutrophils that serve as an immune defense mechanism. These structures play a crucial role in inducing dysfunction of the vascular barrier following endothelial cell injury. Components released by NETs pose a threat to the integrity of vascular endothelium, which is essential as it acts as the primary barrier to maintain vascular wall integrity. Endothelial damage constitutes the initial stage in the onset of AS. Recent investigations have explored the intricate involvement of NETs in AS progression. The underlying structures of NETs and their active ingredients, including histone, myeloperoxidase (MPO), cathepsin G, neutrophil elastase (NE), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), antimicrobial peptide LL-37, alpha-defensin 1-3, and high mobility group protein B1 have diverse and complex effects on AS through various mechanisms. This review aims to comprehensively examine the interplay between NETs and AS while providing insights into their mechanistic underpinnings of NETs in this condition. By shedding light on this intricate relationship, this exploration paves the way for future investigations into NETs while guiding clinical translation efforts and charting new paths for therapeutic interventions.

To explore the variation laws of volatile oil during the extraction process of Artemisiae Argyi Folium and its impact on the quality of the medicinal solution, as well as to achieve precise control of the extraction process, this study employed headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(HS-SPME-GC-MS) in combination with multiple light scattering techniques to conduct a comprehensive analysis, identification, and characterization of the changes in volatile components and the physical properties of the medicinal solution during the extraction process. A total of 82 volatile compounds were identified using the HS-SPME-GC-MS technique, including 21 alcohols, 15 alkenes, 14 ketones, 9 acids, 6 aldehydes, 5 phenols, 3 esters, and 9 other types of compounds. At different extraction time points(15, 30, 45, and 60 min), 71, 72, 64, and 44 compounds were identified in the medicinal solution, respectively. It was observed that the content of volatile components gradually decreased with the extension of extraction time. Through multivariate statistical analysis, four compounds with significant differences during different extraction time intervals were identified, namely 1,8-cineole, terpinen-4-ol, 3-octanone, and camphor. RESULTS:: from multiple light scattering techniques indicated that at 15 minutes of extraction, the transmittance of the medicinal solution was the lowest(25%), the particle size was the largest(0.325-0.350 nm), and the stability index(turbiscan stability index, TSI) was the highest(0-2.5). With the extension of extraction time, the light transmittance of the medicinal solution improved, stability was enhanced, and the particle size decreased. These laws of physicochemical property changes provide important basis for the control of Artemisiae Argyi Folium extraction process. In addition, the changes in the bioactivity of Artemisiae Argyi Folium extracts during the extraction process were investigated through mouse writhing tests and antimicrobial assays. The results indicated that the analgesic and antimicrobial effects of the medicinal solution were strongest at the 15-minute extracting point. In summary, the findings of this study demonstrate that the content of volatile oil in Artemisiae Argyi Folium extracts gradually decreases with the extension of extraction time, and the variation in volatile oil content directly influences the physicochemical properties and pharmacological efficacy of the medicinal solution. This discovery provides important scientific reference for the optimization of Artemisiae Argyi Folium extraction processes and the development and application of process analytical technologies.
