Diabetic kidney disease(DKD)is a microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus with a complex pathogenesis.Recent studies have revealed that autophagy and ferroptosis,as two forms of programmed cell death,exhibit dynamic interactions in DKD:autophagy maintains homeostasis by eliminating damaged organelles,while ferroptosis is driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation.Imbalance between the two exacerbates renal injury.This review systematically summarizes the signaling pathways and key regulatory factors related to autophagy and ferroptosis,as well as their interaction mechanisms[such as nuclear receptor coactivator 4(NCOA4)-mediated ferritinophagy,clock autophagy,and lipid autophagy].It further elaborates the molecular network by which these processes synergistically regulate DKD progression.Additionally,the potential of modern pharmaceuticals and active components of traditional Chinese medicine to improve kidney injury by targeting autophagy and ferroptosis is discussed,proposing that targeting their cross-talk pathways may provide novel therapeutic strategies for DKD,aiming to lay a theoretical foundation for the development of targeted intervention strategies and precision therapeutic regimens.

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD)is one of the common complications in the perioperative period,and it has a high incidence in elderly patients,and the large production of neuroinflammatory factors under surgical stimulation is the main cause of postoperative POCD.As an ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine of γ-aminobutyric acid receptor agonist,remimazolam can play a sedative-hypnotic and anxiolytic role in clinical practice,and can reduce inflammatory factors in the central nervous system and improve postoperative cognitive dysfunction by inhibiting neuroinflammatory response and oxidative stress.This article reviews the protective effect and mechanism of remimazolam on postoperative cognitive function,so as to provide a basis for the clinical use of remimazolam.

Remazolam is a γ-aminobutyric acid(GABA)receptor agonist.It is a short-acting benzodiazepine drug that has just been launched in China in recent years.Its mechanism of action is to enhance inhibitory neurotransmitters of GABA in the central nervous system.It has been widely used in clinical practice for sedation,hypnosis,anti anxiety,and the treatment of insomnia.Meanwhile,remazolam is mainly used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia during the perioperative period,with a fast onset time and a brief duration of action.Recent studies have shown that remazolam can protect important organs and alleviate organ damage by reducing inflammatory responses and oxidative stress,regulating cell apoptosis,and other pathways.This article summarizes the protective effects and mechanisms of remazolam on the brain,heart,liver,and lung,providing a theoretical basis for the clinical application of remazolam.

Background: Vocal cord polyps are commonly encountered in the otorhinolaryngology department. The risk of anesthesia is high in patients with large vocal cord polyps. Awake intubation with appropriate airway tools provides a favorable safety profile.Case: We present the case of a 60-year-old male patient who had been suffering from a large vocal cord polyp for 16 years. Electronic laryngoscopy revealed that the vocal cord polyp was approximately 1.5 cm in diameter. The polyp had a pedicle and demonstrated synchronous motion with respiratory excursion. It covered almost the entire glottic area during inspiration and moved away from the glottis during expiration. A Disposcope endoscope was used for awake tracheal intubation, and the surgery was completed successfully. Conclusions The Disposcope endoscope can be a useful option for awake orotracheal intubation in cases of anticipated difficult intubation and difficult facemask ventilation.

Esketamine mainly acts by noncompetitively antagonizing the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor,and as a dextral isomer of ketamine,it is widely used in clinical practice,especially in anti-inflammatory,analgesic,neuroprotective and other aspects.Esketamine not only has neuroprotective effects,but also has certain organ protective effects.In recent years,more and more studies have shown that ketamine can alleviate organ reperfusion injury by inhibiting cell apoptosis,improving cell damage,and regulating signaling pathways.This article reviews the protective effects and mechanisms of esketamine on the heart,brain,liver and lungs,providing a clinical theoretical basis for the clinical application of esketamine.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of high mobility group protein 1(HMGB1) on the proliferation and cytokine expression of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). METHODS: Different concentrations of recombinant human HMGB1 protein (100, 200, 400, 800 and 1000 ng/ml) were incubated with MSC for 24, 48, 72 h and the proliferation of MSC were detected respectively by using the CCK-8 method and flow cytometry. The best concentrations of HMGB1 incubated with MSC was determined (200 ng/ml, 1000 ng/ml), and the flow cytomerty was used to determine the effect of HMGB1 on the proliferation of MSC. The mRNA expression levels of IL-10, TGF- β1, TSG-6 and IFN-γ in MSC incubated with HMGB1 protein were detected by real-time quantitative PCR and ELISA. RESULTS: The result of MSC identification and flow cytometry showed that the CD105, CD73 and CD90 were expressed, but did not expression CD45, CD34, CD11b, CD19 and HLA-DR; CCK-8 showed that HMGB1 at the concentrations of 100 ng/ml, 200 ng/ml and 400 ng/ml could promote the proliferation of MSC incubated for 24, 48 and 72 h as compared with the control group (P<0.05), and the most effective concentration was 200 ng/ml; flow cytometry showed that the compared with the control group, HMGB1 200 ng/ml could induce MSC from G1 phase to S phase to promote the proliferation of MSC; QPCR showed that the mRNA expression of MSC cytokines IL-10, TGF-β1, TSG-6 increased while IFN-γ decreased at the concentration of 200 ng/ml HMGB1 as compared with the control group. ELISA experiments showed that the HMGB1 200 ng/ml acting on MSC for 48 h could significantly promoted the secretion of IL-10, TGF-β 1 and TSG-6(P<0．05), while IFN-γ showed no significant difference as compared with control group. CONCLUSION Recombinant human HMGB1 can promote the proliferation and secretion of MSC in healthy people.
