Aim To investigate the pharmacological mechanism of Ebselenin(Ebselen,EbSe)in the treat-ment of Escherichia coli(E.coli)infection,which had no significant inhibitory effect on Gram-negative bacte-ria,based on previous studies.Methods After EbSe intervention in E.coli infected Raw264.7 cells,the via-bility of Raw264.7 cells was determined by CCK-8 method,the morphology and structure of Raw264.7 cells were observed by electron microscope,and the in-tracellular bacterial load of Raw264.7 cells was calcu-lated by coated plate method.Polarization status of peritoneal macrophages,Raw264.7 intracellular NO and ROS content and intracellular HO-1 expression in Raw264.7 and E.coli acutely infected mice after E.co-li infection by flow cytometry.qPCR was used to detect the expression of related mRNAs in Raw264.7 cells.qPCR was used to detect the intracellular GSH content in Raw264.7 cells by spectrophotometric assay,and the state of cytoskeletal proteins was observed by immuno-fluorescence.Western blot assay was performed to de-tect the intracellular Txnrd1 expression level.Results Microtiter method,CCK-8,and electron microscopy observations showed that EbSe had no effect on the growth of E.coli and Raw264.7 cells in vitro.The re-sults of smear plate counting showed that EbSe reduced the intracellular bacterial load of Raw264.7 in the in-fected group.Flow cytometry results showed that EbSe upregulated the number of M2-type macrophages.The EbSe-treated infected group had reduced intracellular NO and ROS levels and increased GSH levels.The qPCR results showed that the expression of IL-6,IL-1β,and iNOS was decreased,and the expression of HO-1,Txnrd1,and Glut1 was increased in DHB4-in-fected Raw264.7 cells after EbSe treatment.Cytoskel-etal staining showed that the morphology of the EbSe-treated infected cells was similar to that of oxPAPC-in-duced cells.Western blot results showed the expres-sion of Txnrd1 protein in EbSe-treated infected cells in-creased.Conclusion EbSe exerts anti-E.coli acute infection effect by regulating macrophage polarization and inhibiting macrophage excessive inflammatory state.

Aim To investigate the expression of or-ganic anion transporting polypeptide 4C1(Oatp4c1)-P-glycoprotein(P-gp)in the kidneys of obese mice in-duced by high-fat diet(HFD),and its impact on the pharmacokinetic changes of digoxin.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the Chow group and the HFD group.Body weight and blood glu-cose were recorded weekly.After successful model es-tablishment,digoxin was intraperitoneally injected,and blood was collected at different time points.Part of the blood samples was used for LC-MS/MS detection,and the other part was used for the detection of other bio-chemical indicators.After 16 weeks,the organs were removed and weighed.HE and immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the renal pathology and the expression of Villin,a marker of proximal tubules.Western blot and qPCR were combined to detect the expression of Villin,Oatp4c1 and P-gp.Results In the HFD group,body weight and blood glucose in-creased significantly.The blood concentration of digox-in rose,the area under the curve increased,and the half-life was prolonged.The proximal tubular epithelial cells shed,and the protein expression of Villin,Oatp4c1 and P-gp decreased significantly.Conclu-sions The down-regulation of Oatp4c1-P-gp expres-sion in the kidneys of HFD mice leads to an increase in the blood concentration of digoxin and a decrease in re-nal clearance.

Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic methods including UV, IR, MS, NMR, as well as ECD calculation. Seven compounds were isolated from the dichloromethane-soluble fraction of C. myrrha and their structures were identified as(1S,2R,4S,5R,8S)-guaiane-2-hydroxy-7(11),10(15)-dien-6-oxo-12,8-olide(1), commipholide E(2), myrrhterpenoid H(3), myrrhterpenoid I(4), myrrhterpenoid E(5), 2α-methoxy-8α-hydroxy-6-oxogermacra-1(10),7(11)-dien-8,12-olide(6), 8,12-epoxy-1α,9α-hydroxy-eudesma-7,11-diene-6-dione(7). Compound 1 was a new compound and named myrrhterpenoid P. Compound 7 was isolated from Commiphora genus for the first time. Compounds 2, 5, and 6 significantly inhibited nitric oxide(NO) production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, with IC_(50) values of(49.67±4.16),(40.80±1.27),(47.22±0.87) μmol·L~(-1), respectively [indomethacin as the positive control, with IC_(50) value of(63.92±2.60) μmol·L~(-1)].

Objective:To investigate the current situation of nursing information ability of head nurses in different grades of hospitals in Jiaozuo City, and analyze its influencing variables based on the random forest model, so as to provide evidence-based basis for the construction of nursing information ability improvement strategies and training programs for head nurses.Methods:From August to September 2024, the head nurses of 20 hospitals of different grades were selected by cluster sampling method in Jiaozuo City as the research subjects. General Data Questionnaire and Nursing Information Ability Scale of Head Nurses were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey. Random forest model was used to evaluate the importance of variables, lasso regression analysis was applied to complete the variable screening, and the influencing factors of nursing information ability of head nurses were explored through stepwise multiple linear regression analysis.Results:A total of 305 questionnaires were ultimately collected, of which 297 were valid, the effective rate was 97.38%. Out of 297 head nurses, 6 were male and 291 were female; 49 individuals aged 20-29 years old, 127 individuals aged 30-39 years old, 92 individuals aged 40-49 years old, and 29 individuals aged ≥ 50 years old. The total score of nursing information ability was (139.06 ± 24.62). Random forest model and lasso regression analysis showed that the top 6 variables in terms of importance were the number of years serving as head nurses, participation in information function development, number of academic conferences in the past three years, hospital grade, participating in information training, and chairing or participating in scientific research in the past three years. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that the number of years serving as head nurses, participating in information training, participating in information function development and number of academic conferences in the past three years had significant effects on nursing information ability of head nurses (t values were -4.66 to 3.81, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The nursing information ability of head nurses in Jiaozuo city is in the middle level, and the nursing information ability of head nurses in different grades of hospitals is different. It is suggested to construct a stepped information ability continuing education framework and a research-information ability coupling development mechanism, and incorporate nursing information ability into the necessary conditions for the appointment of nursing management posts, so as to realize the balanced development of nursing information management ability and the continuous iteration of nursing manager information ability.

Bitter almonds (Semen Armeniacae Amarum) are prone to oil deterioration during storage, so they often require mashing prior to clinical use. To confirm the medical value of bitter almonds "being mashed when used" and to determine the optimal storage conditions for bitter almonds, UPLC-MS/MS was used to perform a comparative study of the chemical composition of bitter almonds in different storage states (mashed and unmashed), storage times (0, 2 and 4 weeks), and storage temperatures (25 ℃ and 4 ℃). A total of 58 substances were identified in bitter almond extracts through literature review, this group's previous work, and a Compound Discoverer software search. Statistically significant differences were found in the chemical composition and content of bitter almonds in different storage states, storage times, and storage temperatures. The results show that the chemical composition of bitter almonds stored unmashed was more stable than that of bitter almonds stored mashed; the chemical composition of bitter almonds stored at 4 ℃ was more stable than that of bitter almonds stored at 25 ℃; and the shorter the storage time, the less the chemical composition changed. Amygdalin, the main medicinal component of bitter almonds, showed statistically significant differences in content under the above three storage conditions, which can be used as a potential quality marker for bitter almonds.
