This study aims to explore whether Naoxintong Capsules improve multiple cerebral infarctions and myocardial injury via promoting angiogenesis, thereby exerting a simultaneous treatment effect on both the brain and heart. Male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: sham-operated group, model group, high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose groups of Naoxintong Capsules(440, 220, and 110 mg·kg~(-1)), and nimodipine group(10.8 mg·kg~(-1)). Rat models of multiple cerebral infarctions were established by injecting autologous thrombus, and samples were collected and tested seven days after modeling. Evaluations included multiple cerebral infarction model assessments, neurological function scores, grip strength tests, and rotarod tests, so as to evaluate neuromotor functions. Morphological structures of brain and heart tissue were observed using hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining, Nissl staining, and Masson staining. Network pharmacology was employed to screen the mechanisms of Naoxintong Capsules in improving multiple cerebral infarctions and myocardial injury. Neuronal and myocardial cell ultrastructures were observed using transmission electron microscopy. Apoptosis rate in brain neuronal cells was detected by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) staining, and reactive oxygen species(ROS) levels in myocardial cells were measured. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1(CD31), antigen identified by monoclonal antibody Ki67(Ki67), hematopoietic progenitor cell antigen CD34(CD34), and hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) in brain and myocardial tissue. Western blot, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR) were used to detect the expression of HIF-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGFR2), sarcoma(Src), basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF), angiopoietin-1(Ang-1), and TEK receptor tyrosine kinase(Tie-2). Compared with the model group, the medium-dose group of Naoxintong Capsules showed significantly lower neurological function scores, increased grip strength, and prolonged time on the rotarod. Pathological damage in brain and heart tissue was reduced, with increased and more orderly arranged mitochondria in neurons and cardiomyocytes. Apoptosis in brain neuronal cells was decreased, and ROS levels in cardiomyocytes were reduced. The microvascular density and endothelial cells of new blood vessels in brain and heart tissue increased, with increased overlapping regions of CD31 and Ki67 expression. The relative protein and mRNA expression levels of HIF-1α, VEGF, VEGFR2, Src, Ang-1, Tie-2, and bFGF were elevated in brain tissue and myocardial tissue. Naoxintong Capsules may improve multiple cerebral infarctions and myocardial injury by mediating HIF-1α/VEGF expression to promote angiogenesis.

With the increasing demand for dynamic,real-time and rapid qualitative analysis of chemical composition in areas such as emergency response and space exploration,chip-scale mass spectrometers have attracted significant attention.These devices are expected to drive the integration of mass spectrometry with micro/nano-fabrication and intelligent sensing technologies,fostering profound innovation and breakthroughs in analytical chemistry.As an excellent mass analyzer,the ion trap exhibits numerous advantages,and its miniaturization creates favorable conditions for the high-density integration of miniature mass spectrometers.However,the reduction in ion storage capacity may compromise its sensitivity and dynamic range,rendering the study of ion unidirectional ejection in highly miniaturized ion traps of significant practical importance.In this work,a research was conducted on achieving efficient ion unidirectional ejection while maintaining high mass resolution in the extremely miniature hyperbolic linear ion trap(M-HLIT)with a field radius of 1 mm,and an electric field compensation method was proposed,which combined asymmetric electrode stretching and unbalanced RF voltage to achieve high-precision optimization of the electric field composition.Simulations showed that in an ideal structure,this method achieved 100%unidirectional ejection efficiency with the mass resolution of 518,significantly outperforming traditional asymmetric structure method(365)and unbalanced voltage method(321).Following the introduction of ion ejection slots,further optimization through bidirectional stretching and electrical parameters improved the resolution to 790 while maintaining a unidirectional ejection efficiency of 93%.This method eliminated the requirement for additional excitation voltage,offering an ideal solution for the miniature mass analyzer with high detection performance of chip-level mass spectrometers.

Objective:To explore a reasonable relationship between the survival of descending genicular artery (chimeric) perforator flap [DGAPF (-Ch)] and the preservation of the great saphenous vein (GSV), so as to optimise the protection and reduction of a damage to the donor site in clinical applications.Methods:From June 2015 to October 2022, the Division of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of Department of Orthopaedics of Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, conducted cadaver perfusion studies on 15 fresh specimens of human lower extremity, and then on 31 patients who received free DGAPF (-Ch) transfer surgery. Among the patients, 13 had soft tissue defects in hand or forearm, 17 had soft tissue defects in foot or ankle and 1 had early femoral head necrosis after internal fixation for femoral neck fracture. Among them, 6 patients were complicated with bone defect. The size of soft tissue defect was 5.5 cm×3.0 cm-13.0 cm×6.5 cm, the size of flaps was 6.5 cm×3.5 cm-14.5 cm×7.5 cm, and bone flap volume was 3.5 cm×1.5 cm×1.5 cm-5.0 cm×1.5 cm×1.5 cm. All patients underwent preoperative evaluation of donor site by computed tomography angiography (CTA), and the CTA data were processed with Mimics 20.0 to design the flaps. Intraoperatively, the location of the descending genicular artery (DGA) was detected using Doppler ultrasound. When harvesting the flap, the P point (SP-p) was used as the centre to form an arteriovenous pedicle. A matching medial femoral condyle flap was designed to reconstruct the bone defect. The free flap (25 patients) or chimeric flap (6 patients) was transferred to the recipient site, and end-to-end vessel anastomoses were performed to establish the blood supply. After surgery, the patients were kept in bed for 7-9 days. Antibiotics were routinely administered to prevent infection, together with a symptomatic anticoagulation and anti-spasm treatment. The colour, temperature, capillary refilling and tension of the flap were closely observed. All patients were entered in postoperative follow-up at outpatient clinic for review at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery to observe the appearance, texture and function of the flaps and the condition of the donor sites.Results:Through anatomy observation, cutaneous perforating branch of DGA was located in front of the main trunk of the GSV at the plane of medial femoral condyle. It was found that both of the perforators of cutaneous artery and the branches of osteoarticular artery originated from the DGA. Distance between SP-p and S-p(DSPS) of fresh samples was 2.9-4.1 (3.6±0.5) cm. The DSPS of 31 patients measured in surgery was 2.9-4.3 (3.7±0.4) cm. A total of 30 flaps survived completely. One flap had partial necrosis, which healed at 2 weeks after skin grafting. The postoperative follow-up lasted for 6-48 (mean, 11.23) months. X-rays of 5 patients with chimeric bone flaps showed the healing of bone defects at 3 months after surgery. All donor sites were directly sutured and left with linear scars after healing, except 5 donor sites that received skin grafting. Eight patients received further flap thinning surgery at 3 to 12 months after primary surgery without any complication. All donor sites healed well without numbness.Conclusion:If the GSV is preserved during harvest of a DGAPF(-Ch), it causes less damage to the donor site and does not affect the survival of the flap. The DGAPF(-Ch) without GSV is a better method in the surgical treatment of complex tissue defects.
