ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and potential mechanism of caffeic acid （CA） on severe acute pancreatitis （SAP） induced by caerulein combined with lipopolysaccharide （LPS）， and to provide a basis for the research on novel drugs for the treatment of SAP. MethodsC57BL/6J mice， aged 6 weeks， were divided into control group， model group， CA group， and octreotide acetate （OA） group， with 6 mice in each group. The mice in the control group were given injection of normal saline， and those in the other groups were given intraperitoneal injection of caerulein combined with LPS to establish a mouse model of SAP. At 1 hour after the first injection of caerulein， the mice in the CA group and the OA group were given intraperitoneal injection of CA or subcutaneous injection of OA at an interval of 8 hours. The general status of the mice was observed after 24 hours of modeling， and serum， pancreas， lung， and colon samples were collected. HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of the pancreas and lungs， and the serum levels of α-amylase， lipase， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， alanine aminotransferase， aspartate aminotransferase， and creatinine were measured. RT-PCR was used to measure the expression of proinflammatory factors in the pancreas and lungs； myeloperoxidase （MPO） immunohistochemistry was used to observe the degree of neutrophil infiltration； Western blot was used to measure the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB） and the level of citrullinated histone H3 （CitH3）， a marker for the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps （NETs）， in the pancreas and lungs， as well as the expression level of ZO-1 in colon tissue. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups， and the Dunnett’s t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group had severe injury in the pancreas and lungs and significant increases in the activity of serum α- amylase and lipase and the levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and TNF-α in serum and lung tissue （all P<0.05）， as well as significant increases in NF-κB activation， neutrophil infiltration， and the formation of NETs in the pancreas and lungs （all P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the CA group had alleviated pathological injury of the pancreas and lungs and significant reductions in the activity of serum α-amylase and the levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6， IL-1β， and TNF-α in serum and lung tissue （all P<0.05）， as well as significant reductions in NF-κB activation， neutrophil infiltration， and the formation of NETs in the pancreas and lungs （all P<0.05）. ConclusionCA can alleviate SAP induced by caerulein combined with LPS in mice， possibly by inhibiting neutrophil recruitment and the formation of NETs.

Objective To explore the effects and mechanisms of Sanzi Sijun Formula(SSF)in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)through network pharmacology,molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation;To carry out experimental validation in vivo and in vitro.Methods The active components and target genes of SSF were screened using TCMSP,TCMIP and TCMIO databases.NAFLD-related targets were screened using the GeneCards database,and the intersection targets were obtained to construct a protein-protein interaction network and screen for core targets.The intersection targets were imported into the DAVID database for GO and KEGG enrichment analysis.Molecular docking was performed using AutoDock Vina software between the key active components of SSF and core targets,and molecular dynamics simulations were conducted using Gromacs 2022 for 100 ns.C57BL/6J mice NAFLD model was established by diet induction.SSF was administered by gavage for 8 weeks.Liver histopathological changes and the levels of non-esterified fatty acids(NEFA)were detected.In vitro NAFLD model was established by inducing AML12 cells with palmitic acid(PA)for 24 hours.SSF-containing serum was added to incubate simultaneously.The lipid accumulation and cell viability were detected.The core targets of SSF intervention in the in vitro and in vivo NAFLD models were verified by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Results Network pharmacological analysis identified 75 active components in SSF and revealed 179 shared targets between these components and NAFLD.Ten main active components including arachidonate,12-senecioyl-2E,8E,10E-atractylodin,cerebrosterol,glycyrrhizol B and sinapic acid,etc.as well as 8 core targets were identified.GO enrichment analysis of targets mainly involved protein phosphorylation,inflammatory response,and apoptosis,while the KEGG enrichment analysis mainly included AGE-RAGE,TNF,AMPK,PPAR and NF-κB signaling pathways.Molecular docking demonstrated that the major active components of SSF exhibited favorable binding affinity and stability with the core targets.Molecular dynamics simulation confirmed the stability of the complex of glyasperin B with AKT1,SIRT1,STAT3,PPARG,and TNF.SSF alleviated the pathological damage of liver tissues in mice NAFLD model,reduced NAS score and NEFA levels in liver tissues(P<0.05).Additionally,SSF reversed lipid accumulation and decreased cell viability of PA-induced AML12 cells(P<0.01).Further in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that SSF significantly reversed the elevated mRNA levels of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β and PPARγ and protein expression of STAT3(P<0.05,P<0.01)in NAFLD models,up-regulated the protein levels of SIRT1 and p-Akt/Akt(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion SSF can improve NAFLD of both in vitro and in vivo models.The regulation of multiple targets,such as AKT,SIRT1,STAT3 and PPARG,by its multiple active components,and adjustment of multiple approaches,such as lipid metabolism disorder,inflammatory responses,are involved in the potential underlying mechanisms.

Heatstroke, a life-threatening illness, poses a significant risk to human health, particularly in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. Timely and effective on-site management is critical for improving patient survival and prognosis. Rapid recognition, rapid assessment, and rapid cooling are the cornerstones of pre-hospital care. However, the absence of a standardized protocol for pre-hospital management of heatstroke has impeded the efficacy of treatment. This consensus, initiated by the Expert Group on Heatstroke Prevention of the People's Liberation Army, signifies a collaborative endeavor involving emergency medical personnel, nurses, and administrators from pre-hospital care, emergency departments, and intensive care units in both military and civilian domains. By systematically reviewing evidence-based medicine and clinical expertise in heatstroke prevention, on-site and in-transit care, as well as early treatment in emergency settings, the group has formulated the Expert consensus on pre-hospital emergency management of heatstroke (2024) after extensive discussions and iterative recommendations, which serve as a scientific and standardized framework for pre-hospital heatstroke emergency care. The consensus underscores the pivotal role of enhancing public awareness regarding heatstroke prevention and augmenting the rates of rapid recognition and rapid cooling for effective on-site heatstroke management. In high-risk industries, regions, or seasons for heatstroke, developing scientifically sound plans and conducting practical training can provide effective safety measures. Emergency personnel should undergo specialized training and assessments in knowledge and skills, ambulances should be equipped with effective cooling devices, and hospitals must maintain comprehensive emergency response capabilities. It is recommended to establish a regional heatstroke treatment network to optimize the allocation of emergency resources and streamline processes, thereby improving treatment outcomes and response times.

Objective To investigate the effects of meropenem and amikacin on gut microbiota diversity and composition in a neonatal rat model of necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC).Methods Neonatal SD rats(1～2 d,weighing 5～10 g,both sexes)were subjected to establish a NEC model through artificial formula feeding,hypoxic-cold stress,and lipopolysaccharide(LPS)gavage.The rats were randomly divided into normal control group(Group C,n=12),NEC group(Group N,n=20),meropenem intervention group(Group M,n=20),and amikacin intervention group(Group A,n=20).Following modeling,Group M and Group A received intraperitoneal injections of meropenem(125 mg/kg)or amikacin(468 mg/kg),twice daily for 3 consecutive days.Groups C and N were administered an equal volume of normal saline.At the end of the intervention,colonic contents or fecal samples were collected.The gut microbiota structure was analyzed using 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing.Bioinformatics analysis was performed using the QIIME2 platform.Alpha diversity was evaluated using Chao1,Shannon,and Simpson indices.Beta diversity was assessed based on Bray-Curtis distance through principal coordinate analysis(PCoA)and non-metric multidimensional scaling(NMDS).Venn and UpSet plots were generated to visualize the composition and overlap of operational taxonomic units(OTUs).Linear discriminant analysis effect size(LEfSe)was applied to identify differentially abundant taxa across groups.Results High-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing showed that the N group had significantly lower 3 indices of α diversity than the C group(P<0.01),that is,a Chao1 index from 230 to 40,a Shannon index from 1.65 to 0.85,and a Simpson index from 0.65 to 0.42.After antibiotic intervention,both the M group and A group obtained obvious increases in the Chao1 index than the N group(P<0.001),with a greater increase observed in the M group than in the A group(P<0.05).However,neither antibiotic group exhibited notable improvements in the Shannon index or Simpson index compared with the N group(P>0.05).Venn and UpSet analyses revealed that the M group had the highest number of unique OTUs(283),while the A group shared the most OTUs(63)with the C group.PCoA and NMDS analyses indicated that the microbial structure of the A group was closer to that of the C group,with better clustering.Taxonomic composition and LEfSe analysis demonstrated that the N group was enriched with potentially pathogenic taxa such as Escherichia coli B2 and Klebsiella under the phylum Proteobacteria,while beneficial bacteria including Lactobacillaceae and Bifidobacteriaceae(phylum Firmicutes)were significantly reduced,indicating severe dysbiosis.In contrast,the A group exhibited a significant increase in beneficial bacteria and a structural tendency toward ecological recovery.The M group,however,was enriched with various conditionally pathogenic and environmentally associated genera,displaying a microbial configuration notably deviating from a healthy state.Conclusion Meropenem and amikacin exhibit differential regulatory effects on the intestinal microbiota in the context of NEC.Amikacin demonstrates superior efficacy in restoring microbial stability and levels of beneficial bacteria,whereas meropenem,although effective for early infection control,warrants caution due to its potential long-term impact on the gut microbiome.

Objective To analyze the correlation of preoperative collagen lectin-11(CL-11),urinary nitrite,and urinary heparin-binding protein(U-HBP)with postoperative urinary sepsis(US)in patients with kidney stones,and to explore their predictive value and warning significance for postoperative US.Methods A total of 190 patients with kidney stones who underwent minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from September 2021 to June 2023 were selected.According to whether they developed US within 7 days after surgery,they were divided into the US group(n=30)and the non-US group(n=160).Baseline data and preoperative levels CL-11,urinary nitrite and U-HBP were compared between the two groups.The correlation between preoperative CL-11,urinary nitrite,U-HBP and postoperative US was analyzed.The predictive efficacy of preoperative CL-11,urinary nitrite,and U-HBP for postoperative US was evaluated.Results The positive rates of CL-11,urinary nitrite,and U-HBP in the US group were(313.68±38.73)ng/mL,46.67%and(157.82±41.61)ng/mL,respectively,which were higher than those in the non-US group at(234.00±41.25)ng/mL,12.50%,and(128.59±36.38)ng/mL(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicated that preoperative CL-11,urinary nitrite,and U-HBP were influencing factors for the occurrence of US.The area under the curve(AUC)for predicting postoperative US was 0.797 for CL-11,0.624 for urinary nitrite,and 0.826 for U-HBP,while the combined AUC for predicting postoperative US was 0.923,with a sensitivity of 90.00%and specificity of 88.75%.Conclusion Patients with postoperative US following kidney stone surgery exhibited elevated levels of urinary nitrite,CL-11,and U-HBP,which were positively correlated with the occurrence of postoperative US.These markers have certain predictive value for postoperative US,and their combined detection offers superior predictive efficacy,potentially serving as warning biomarkers for postoperative US,thereby providing a reference for clinical prevention and control measures.

Objective:To investigate the association between hearing loss and the type of indoor fuel applications in Chinese middle-aged and elderly people through longitudinal cohort study.Methods:Data were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), including adults aged 45 years and older enrolled in 2011, with follow-up for cooking and heating analyses extending to 2018 and 2015, respectively. The study calculated the incidence of hearing loss based on an indoor cooking or heating fuel type and expressed in terms of per 100 person-years. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the association between solid fuel use and hearing loss, and covariates such as gender, education, and economy were controlled. We also analyzed the impact of indoor fuel type and its switching on hearing loss.Results:A total of 6, 772 participants using household fuels for cooking (2011-2018) and 4, 618 for heating (2011-2015) were included. Those using solid fuels for cooking [(58.0±8.2) years] and heating [(58.1±8.5) years] were generally slightly older than that of those who used clean fuels. In the cooking analysis, the overall incidence of hearing loss was higher among solid fuel users compared to clean fuel users (Clean fuel: 2.6 cases per 100 person-years; solid fuel: 3.6 cases per 100 person-years; the difference between the two was statistically significant, P<0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in the heating analysis ( P>0.05). Further classification of fuel-type use revealed that the incidence of hearing loss was the highest among people who had been using solid fuels consistently. Compared to the clean fuel group, the fully adjusted hazard ratio (HR) was 1.5 (95% CI: 1.3-1.7) in the cooking analysis and 1.5 (95% CI: 1.1-2.0) in the heating analysis. Compared with using clean fuels, switching from clean fuels to solid fuels increased the risk of hearing loss both during cooking and heating processes. Conclusion:In the CHARLS database, individuals who use solid fuels for indoor cooking and heating are older than those who use clean fuels. Compared with clean fuel use, the use of solid fuels increases the risk of hearing loss in middle-aged and elderly people. Reducing the use of solid fuels, choosing clean fuels as substitutes for solid fuels, and avoiding the switch from clean fuels to solid fuels will help protect the hearing health of middle-aged and elderly individuals.

[Purpose]To analyze the trends of incidence and age at onset of leukemia in Jiangsu cancer registration areas from 2009 to 2019.[Methods]The continuous monitoring data of leukemia from 2009 to 2019 were collected from 16 cancer registries in Jiangsu Province.All datasets were checked and evaluated based on data quality control criteria and were included in the analysis.Crude incidence rate(CIR),age-standardized incidence rate by Chinese standard population(ASIRC),the average annual percentage change(AAPC),the standardized average age at onset,the changes in the age structure of incidence and the changes in the birth cohort by year were calculated.[Results]The incidence rate of leukemia significantly increased from 5.22/105 in 2009 to 7.88/105 in 2019,with a significant upward trend(for CIR,AAPC=4.95％,95％CI:3.82％～6.09％;for ASIRC,AAPC=2.97％,95％CI:1.52％～4.43％).The incidence rates were in-creased in all age groups and increased with the birth cohort by years.There was a tendency of backward shift for the age composition of the population,with the increasing of composition for those over 60 years old.The mean age at onset increased from 48.62 years old in 2009 to 57.96 years old in 2019,with a backward shift in the mean age(β=0.773,P＜0.001),and the mean age at onset increased with the year only in rural areas after standardization(β=0.428,P=0.017).[Conclusion]Leukemia incidence rate in Jiangsu Province increased from 2009 to 2019,and the age at onset has shifted backwards.It's important to strengthen the early prevention and control of leukemia.

Objective To establish a high-throughput non-targeted screening and prioritization method for emerging pollutants(EPs)in sewage using direct injection high-resolution mass spectrometry(HRMS).Methods The sewage samples were filtered by membrane filter and directly subjected to the liquid chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometer based on a method modified from our previous study.A C18 chromatographic column was applied for a gradient elution separation,and accurate mass and mass spectral fragment information were obtained through the MS full scan mode and MS/MS DIA data collection mode.After peak detection and alignment,the features from the raw data through open source software MZmine 3,and then high-throughput screening strategies such as MassBank and PubChem databases were used for compound annotation.Finally,the candidate features were confirmed with chemical standards by compared their retention time and mass spectrum fragmentation ion peaks.Results 13 EPs were identified,including 7 industrial chemicals,4 pharmaceuticals,1 pesticide and 1 metabolite.High detection rates were observed for metformin(86.2％),2-hydroxybenzothiazole(79.3％),1,2-benzisothiazole-3-one(72.4％),and 1,2-benzisothiazole-3-one(72.4％).The quantitative concentration range of EPs was 1.37～19.05 ng/mL,with the high concentrations observed for melamine(19.05 ng/mL)and furosemide(18.49 ng/mL).Ecological risk assessment identified 1,2-benzisothiazol-3-one,4-aminoacetophenone,creatinine,2-hydroxybenzothiazole,and furosemide as key pollutants.Conclusion This direct injection coupled with HRMS workflow enables efficient non-targeted screening and prioritization of emerging EPs in sewage samples,highlighting five ecotoxicologically critical EPs.The methodology enhances environmental monitoring capabilities and provide critical technical support for interdisciplinary research such as environmental forensics and health risk assessment.

Objective To analyze the practical value of spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction techniquein evaluating triplane fractures of the distal tibia.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on183 patients with triplane fractures of the distal tibia admitted to Sichuan Orthopedic Hospital from January 2021 to March 2023.All patients underwent both X-ray and spiral CT examinations.Taking surgical reduction results as the gold standard for diagnosis,the diagnostic accuracies of X-ray examination and spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction technique for triplane fractures of the distal tibia were analyzed.Results Fracture classification according to the number of fracture fragments showed that among the 183 patients with triplane fractures of the distal tibial,there were 44 cases of four-part fractures,62 cases of three-part fractures,and 77 cases of two-part fractures.The classification by the location of epiphyseal injury in the distal tibia showed 175 cases of lateral type and 8 cases of medial type.According to whether the fracture line involved the articular surface,they were categorized into 94 cases of type I,60 cases of type II,and 29 cases of type III.For the classification of the number of fracture fragments,X-ray misdiagnosed 9 cases of four-part fractures as three-part or two-part fractures,and 21 cases of three-part fractures as two-part fractures,resulting in a diagnostic accuracy of 83.60%.For theclassification of fracture line and articular surface position,X-ray led to misdiagnosis or inaccurate diagnosis in 39 cases,with a diagnostic accuracy of 78.69%.When spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction technique was used to classify the number of fracture fragments,only 1 case of four-part fracture was misdiagnosed as three-part fracture,and 2 cases of three-part fractures were misdiagnosed as four-part fractures or two-part fractures,yielding a diagnostic accuracy of 98.36%.For the diagnosis of the positional relationship of the fracture line to the articular surface,spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction technique had 8 misdiagnoses,with a corresponding diagnostic accuracy of 95.63%.Conclusion Spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction technique can stereoscopically display the spatial information of the triplane fractures of the distal tibia,such as the location,shape,type,and articular surface,exhibiting high accuracy for classification diagnosis and significant application value in the reduction and treatment of triplane fractures of the distal tibia.
