ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate the protective effects of the Tanyu Tongzhi Youhua prescription（TYTZP） against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats via regulation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase （cGAS）/stimulator of interferon genes （STING） signaling pathway. MethodsFifty-six 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into sham group， model group， ticagrelor group （32.4 mg·kg^-1）， RU320521 （RU.521cGAS inhibitors） group （5 mL·kg^-1）， groups of TYTZP with low dose （3.6 g·kg^-1）， medium dose （7.2 g·kg^-1）， and high dose （14.4 g·kg^-1）， with eight rats per group. The ticagrelor group and groups of TYTZP with different doses received pre-treatment for seven days according to their respective protocols. The RU.521 group received an intraperitoneal injection one hour before modeling. A rat model of the no-reflow phenomenon in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery in situ. Myocardial no-reflow area was determined by thioflavin staining. Histopathological morphology of myocardial tissue was observed via hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining. Cardiac function was detected by echocardiography. Myocardial microcirculation function change was observed by using real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography. The myocardial enzyme levels in the serum were measured by serum biochemical analysis. The double-stranded DNA （dsDNA） levels were detected by using PicoGreen. The protein expression of cGAS， STING， and nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） p65 in myocardial tissue was detected by Western blot. The levels of cardiac troponin Ⅰ （cTNⅠ）， cardiac troponin T （cTNT）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in the peripheral blood were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the model group showed a significantly increased myocardial no-reflow area （P<0.01）. Myocardial fiber rupture and disarray and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed by HE staining. The ultrasound results indicated that left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） and left ventricular fractional shortening （LVFS） （P<0.01） were significantly decreased. Real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography showed that the peak time of myocardial blood perfusion was significantly prolonged （P<0.01）， and the levels of creatine kinase （CK）， creatine kinase isoenzyme （CK-MB）， lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， cTNⅠ， cTNT， and dsDNA were significantly elevated （P<0.01）. Western blot results showed that the myocardial protein expressions of cGAS， STING， and NF-κB p65 were upregulated （P<0.01）. ELISA results showed that the inflammatory factors in the serum such as IL-6， IL-1β， and TNF-α were increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the group of the TYTZP significantly reduced the levels of myocardial enzyme， troponins， and dsDNA （P<0.01， P<0.05）， improved cardiac function and myocardial microcirculation， alleviated histopathological morphology and inflammatory infiltration， inhibited activation of the cGAS/STING pathway， reduced the expression of NF-κB p65 （P<0.01， P<0.05）， and inhibited inflammatory response. ConclusionThe TYTZP mitigates the no-reflow phenomenon in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury， and its mechanism is associated with inhibiting the activation of the cGAS/STING pathway and attenuating inflammatory responses.

Objective:To analyze the status of respiratory pathogen detection and the clinical features in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP). Methods:A prospective, multicenter study was conducted to collect clinical data, including medical history, laboratory examinations and multiplex PCR tests of children diagnosed with MPP from 4 hospitals in China between November 15 th and December 20 th, 2023. The multiplex PCR results and clinical characteristics of MPP children in different regions were analyzed. The children were divided into severe and mild groups according to the severity of the disease. Patients in the severe group were further divided into Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) alone and Multi-pathogen co-detection groups based on whether other pathogens were detected besides MP, to analyze the influence of respiratory pathogen co-detection rate on the severity of the disease. Mann-Whitney rank sum test and Chi-square test were used to compare data between independent groups. Results:A total of 298 children, 136 males and 162 females, were enrolled in this study, including 204 children in the severe group with an onset age of 7.0 (6.0, 8.0) years, and 94 children in the mild group with an onset age of 6.5 (4.0, 7.8) years. The level of C-reactive protein, D-dimer, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were significantly higher (10.0 (5.0, 18.0) vs. 5.0 (5.0, 7.5) mg/L, 0.6 (0.4, 1.1) vs. 0.5 (0.3, 0.6) mg/L, 337 (286, 431) vs. 314 (271, 393) U/L, Z=2.02, 2.50, 3.05, all P<0.05), and the length of hospitalization was significantly longer in the severe group compared with those in mild group (6.0 (6.0, 7.0) vs. 5.0 (4.0, 6.0) d, Z=4.37, P<0.05). The time from onset to admission in severe MPP children was significantly shorter than that in mild MPP children (6.0 (5.0, 9.5) vs. 9.0 (7.0, 13.0) d, Z=2.23, P=0.026). All patients completed the multiplex PCR test, with 142 cases (47.7%) MPP children detected with 21 pathogens including adenovirus 25 cases (8.4%), human coronavirus 23 cases (7.7%), rhinovirus 21 cases (7.0%), Streptococcus pneumoniae 21 cases (7.0%), influenza A virus 18 cases (6.0%). The pathogens with the highest detection rates in Tianjin, Shanghai, Wenzhou and Chengdu were Staphylococcus aureus at 10.7% (8/75), adenovirus at 13.0% (10/77), adenovirus at 15.3% (9/59), and both rhinovirus and Haemophilus influenzae at 11.5% (10/87) each. The multi-pathogen co-detection rate in severe MPP children was significantly higher than that in mild MPP group (52.9% (108/204) vs. 36.2% (34/94), χ2=10.62, P=0.005). Among severe MPP children, there are 89 cases in the multi-pathogen co-detection group and 73 cases in the simple MPP group. The levels of LDH, D-dimer and neutrophil counts in the multi-pathogen co-detection group were significantly higher than those in the simple MPP group (348 (284, 422) vs. 307 (270, 358) U/L, 0.8 (0.5, 1.5) vs. 0.6 (0.4, 1.0) mg/L, 4.99 (3.66, 6.89)×10 9vs. 4.06 (2.91, 5.65)×10 9/L, Z=5.17, 4.99, 6.11, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The co-detection rate of respiratory pathogens, LDH and D-dimer in children with severe MPP were higher than those with mild MPP. Among severe MPP children the stress response of children in co-detection group was more serious than that of children with simple MPP.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of new cryoprotective agents in preserving and transplanting human adipose tissue.Methods:The adipose tissue samples were obtained from healthy adult females who underwent liposuction at the Department of Plastic Surgery of Peking University Third Hospital from January to March 2022. The adipose tissue samples were centrifuged and then randomly divided into 9 groups. These groups were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen using different cryoprotective agents [group A, group B, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group] and cryopreservation times (1-month, 2-month, and 3-month groups), respectively. The cryoprotective agent formulation in group A was dextrose glycoside 40 (DEX), amino acids, vitamins, and inorganic salts. In group B, the formulation included DMSO and DEX. The ratio of cryoprotective agent in the DMSO group was 10% DMSO, 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and 70% DMEM-12. For cryopreservation, 5 ml cryogenic tubes were used with a fat to cryoprotective agent ratio of 3∶2, and each group contains 6 tubes for cryopreservation. After thawing the adipose tissue, HE staining was used to observe the histological morphology. Immunohistochemical staining was employed for the quantitative analysis of lipid droplet-encapsulated protein (Perilipin), and the Perilipin positivity rate was calculated by the ratio of the number of positive cells to the total number of cells. Adipocyte viability was assessed using the CCK-8 method. Thirty-eight healthy, clean nude mice were selected and divided into 3 groups of 12 mice each according to the use of different cryoprotective agents (groups A, B, and DMSO), while the other 2 mice were used as the day 0 control group. The mean fat freezing duration for all groups was 3 months. After nude mice were anesthetized intraperitoneally, 0.9 ml of thawed cryopreserved fat was injected into the dorsum bilaterally. The rate of adipose tissue retention was calculated by MRI scanning and three-dimensional software at 1, 2, and 3 months after transplantation, and compared between the groups. The fat grafts were explanted from the mice after they were sacrificed, and then subjected to histological morphology and quantitative analysis of Perilipin by using HE staining and immunohistochemical staining. GraphPad Prism 8.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data. The data that conformed to a normal distribution were expressed as Mean ± SD. The overall comparison between multiple groups used analysis of variance for repeated measures. The comparison of data between groups at the same time point used Tukey’s multiple comparison test.Results:The morphology of adipose tissue in different cryoprotective agent groups closely resembled that of normal fresh adipose tissue after being cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen for 1-3 months. The difference in the proportion of Perilipin-stained positive cells in each group was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The CCK-8 method indicated that the effect of the DMSO group was superior to groups A and B at 1 and 3 months of cryopreservation ( P<0.01), and that the DMSO group and group B were superior to group A at 2 months of cryopreservation ( P<0.01). In the animal experiments, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the volume retention rate 1-3 months after cryopreserved fat transplantation ( P>0.05). Additionally, the adipose tissues in each group exhibited varying degrees of localized necrosis accompanied by an inflammatory reaction 1-3 months after transplantation. There was no statistically significant difference in the Perilipin staining positivity between the groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The use of new cryoprotective agents for cryopreserving adipose tissue does not show a significant difference compared to the traditional cryoprotective agent. However, it is theoretically safer as it avoids the potential toxic effects of using DMSO or FBS on the human body.
