Coronavirus-related diseases pose a significant challenge to the global health system. Given the diversity of coronaviruses and the unpredictable nature of disease outbreaks, the traditional "one bug, one drug" paradigm struggles to address the growing number of emerging crises. Therefore, there is an urgent need for therapeutic agents with broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus activity. Here, we provide evidence that ATV006, an anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleoside analog targeting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), has broad antiviral activity against human and animal coronaviruses. Using mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) and human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63) as a model, we show that ATV006 has potent prophylactic and therapeutic activity against murine coronavirus infection in vivo. Remarkably, ATV006 successfully inhibits viral replication in mice even when administered 96 h after infection. Due to its oral bioavailability and potency against multiple coronaviruses, ATV006 has the potential to become a useful antiviral agent against SARS-CoV-2 and other circulating and emerging coronaviruses in humans and animals.

BACKGROUND:Sarcopenia obesity is characterized by the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity with a continuously increasing prevalence.Aerobic exercise can alleviate the progression of sarcopenic obesity,but the overall metabolic changes in skeletal muscle after exercise are still unclear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of exercise on various aspects of the energy metabolic pathways in the skeletal muscle of mice with sarcopenic obesity.METHODS:Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal control(normal diet)and model(high-fat diet)groups.After 12 weeks of feeding,sarcopenic obesity model mice were screened by body mass and behavior assessments.The sarcopenia obesity mice were then divided into the sedentary and exercise groups.Mice in the exercise group were subjected to treadmill training on the basis of a high-fat diet.After 8 weeks of intervention,body mass,lipid metabolism,muscle volume of calf muscle group of the hind limb,skeletal muscle morphology,and expressions of energy metabolic pathway-related genes were detected.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal control group,the levels of triglycerides,total cholesterol,and free fatty acid in the sedentary group were significantly increased,along with significantly increased lipid droplets in skeletal muscle(P<0.05).Compared with the sedentary group,all of the above indicators in the exercise group showed a significant decreasing trend(P<0.05).Compared with the normal control group,grip strength and fatigue latency time,muscle volume,and fiber cross-sectional area were significantly decreased in the sedentary group,but the mRNA expression of Atrogin-1 and Murf-1 was elevated(P<0.05).Compared with the sedentary group,grip strength and fatigue latency time,muscle volume,and fiber cross-sectional area were significantly improved in the exercise group(P<0.05),while the mRNA expression of Atrogin-1 and Murf-1 was reduced(P<0.05).Compared with the normal control group,the mRNA expression of intramuscular transcription factors Pparα and Pgc-1α was decreased in the sedentary group(P<0.05),the mRNA expression of fatty acid synthesis-related enzymes Srebp1c and Fasn was elevated(P<0.05),and the mRNA expression of the β-oxidation system Cpt1β,Acox1,Acox3 and fatty acid metabolism Arf1 and Plin3 was decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the sedentary group,the abnormal expression of the above genes was significantly reversed in the exercise group(P<0.05).To conclude,aerobic exercise can alleviate lipid deposition and improve muscle quality and strength of sarcopenic obesity mice by regulating the expression of genes in the intramuscular energy metabolism network.

[Objective] To establish a new scoring system to predict the perioperative outcomes (operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and trifecta achievement) in patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) by integrating the RENAL and Mayo adhesive probability (MAP) scores. [Methods] Clinical data of 178 patients with renal cell carcinoma who underwent RAPN performed by the same surgeon in our hospital during Jan.2015 and Jan.2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The RENAL and MAP scores of all patients were calculated.Linear regression and logistic regression were used to evaluate the associations between the components of the RENAL and MAP scores (a total of 6 variables) and perioperative outcomes.The factors with significant associations were then included into logistic regression analysis to identify independent predictors for constructing an assessment system for perioperative outcomes, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) to predict its efficacy. [Results] Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that tumor size (β=6.14, 95%CI: 1.93—10.34, P=0.004), exophytic rate (β=10.60, 95%CI: 3.44—17.76, P=0.004), and perinephric fat thickness (β=16.48, 95%CI: 8.52—24.45, P<0.001) were significantly associated with operation time.Tumor size (β=10.55 95%CI: 5.60—15.49, P<0.001) was associated with both intraoperative blood loss and trifecta achievement (OR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.26—2.36, P=0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis of these 3 factors identified tumor size (OR=9.07, 95% CI: 1.18—69.45, P=0.03) and perinephric fat thickness (OR=2.28, 95%CI: 1.86—6.04, P=0.01) as independent predictors of perioperative outcomes.Based on these findings, the tumor size and perinephric fat thickness (RP) scoring was constructed, which demonstrated better predictive ability than RENAL score or MAP score alone (RP vs.RENAL vs.MAP: 0.766 vs.0.548 vs.0.684). [Conclusion] The RP score includes fewer variables than the RENAL and MAP scores but outperforms them.

Globally, over 300 million surgeries are performed each year, and more than 50% of surgeries involve patients aged 65 and older. Aging poses significant challenges to perioperative brain health, as the deterioration of brain structure and function increases susceptibility to postoperative neurological complications. Protecting perioperative brain health remains a worldwide clinical challenge. With senescence, the brain undergoes a progressive decline in homeostasis across various molecular, cellular, and regional functions. Anesthetics and surgical stimuli may accelerate the disruption of brain homeostasis and exacerbate age-related neurodegeneration. This review provides a framework for understanding how anesthesia and surgery can affect brain health in the aging population and contribute to postoperative neurological complications, with a particular focus on perioperative neurocognitive disorder.

Objective To compare the safety of laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy(LPD)and open pancreatoduodenectomy(OPD)and analyze the learning curve and safety at different stages of LPD.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 50 LPD patients and 54 OPD patients in the Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery of Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2020 to June 2024,and intraoperative and postoperative conditions were compared.The Cumulative Sum(CUSUM)analysis method was used to analyze the technical nodes of the LPD learning curve.Results There were no significant differences in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between the LPD group and the OPD group(P＞0.05).There was also no significant difference in the incidence rates of pancreatic fistula(grade B and C),delayed gastric emptying,postoperative bleeding,biliary fistula and intra-abdominal infection between the LPD group and the OPD group(P＞0.05).A time series plot of operation time was drawn based on the patient's operation time and surgical sequence,yielding a fitted curve.Curve analysis showed initial stage and stable stage were finished at the 17th and 24th cases.The LPD learning curve could be divided into three stages:stage Ⅰ characterized as the initial stage(cases 1 to 17),stage Ⅱ characterized as the stable stage(cases 18 to 24),and stage Ⅲ characterized as the proficient stage(cases 25 to 50).The operation time in stages Ⅱ and Ⅲ was significantly shorter than that in stage Ⅰ,and the intraoperative blood loss in stage Ⅰ was significantly higher than that in stage Ⅲ(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications among the three stages(P＞0.05).Conclusion LPD and OPD show no significant differences in indications and safety.The LPD learning curve can be divided into three stages.As the number of surgeries completed increa-ses,the operation time of physicians gradually shortens,and the incidence of complications of patients gradually decreases.

Objective:To analyze the effect of joint management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) between specialty and community under the model of National Diabetes Prevention and Control Center (DPCC).Methods:A total of 2 527 T2DM patients managed by DPCC Pingshan Center of Shenzhen from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 were retrospectively included. After management, the rate of downturn, reexamination rate, blood pressure compliance rate, metabolic indicators (waist circumference, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood lipids) and screening rate of chronic complications of diabetes (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, microvascular disease, diabetic peripheral neuropathy) were analyzed. Those included 2022 ( n=564), 2023 ( n=1 477), and 2024 ( n=2 527). Results:The downturn rate in 2022, 2023 and 2024 increased year by year (22.8% vs 67.2% vs 89.9%, P<0.01), and the review rate (41.1% vs 62.2% vs 52.7%, P<0.01), complication screening rate (51.6% vs 85.3% vs 62.2%, P<0.01), blood pressure compliance rate (53.1% vs 78.0% vs 67.2%, P<0.01), body mass index compliance rate (13.2% vs 17.3% vs 28.6%, P<0.01), fasting blood glucose meeting rate (46.4% vs 60.2% vs 68.5%, P<0.01), glycated hemoglobin meeting rate (58.4% vs 63.2% vs 45.6%, P<0.01) were relatively improved. Waist circumference compliance rate (30.6% vs 27.7% vs 21.6%) and blood lipid compliance rate (33.6% vs 35.5% vs 31.9%) were not significantly improved, and the review rate, blood pressure compliance rate and complication screening rate in 2024 were lower than those in 2023 and higher than those in 2022. Conclusions:The combined management of type 2 diabetes under the DPCC model has significant effects on improving the down-conversion rate, rediagnosis rate, blood pressure compliance rate, metabolic index compliance rate and the screening rate of diabetes-related chronic complications in patients with diabetes. At the same time, it was also found that with the progress of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, the review rate, complication screening rate, blood pressure, waist circumference, blood lipid and glycosylated hemoglobin reached the standard of patients decreased compared with the previous situation, which needs to be further analyzed and improved.
