ObjectiveTo explore the mechanisms of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma in treating metabolic hypertension induced by a high-sugar and high-fat diet in rats based on network pharmacology， proteomics， and animal experiments. MethodsThirty male SD rats were randomized into the control， model， positive drug （tetrandrine， Tet， 50 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， low-dose Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma （DS-L， 45×10⁴ mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， and high-dose Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma （DS-H， 90×10⁴ mg·kg^-1·d^-1） groups. Except for the control group， each group was fed a high-fat and high-sugar diet for 8 weeks for the modeling of metabolic hypertension. Following successful modeling， drug interventions were conducted through gavage for 4 weeks. Blood pressure and lipid indicators were monitored， and cardiac function was assessed via echocardiography. Samples from the thoracic aorta and cardiac tissue were collected for histopathological examination. Network pharmacology analysis identified key active components， potential targets， and mechanisms of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma in treating hypertension. Proteomics technology was employed to analyze the differential proteins and major pathway targets to synergistically elucidate the antihypertensive mechanism of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Ca²⁺ concentrations in the thoracic aorta and cardiac tissue were measured. The protein levels of transient receptor potential cation channel （TRPC）3， TRPC6， NADPH oxidase （NOX）2， and NOX4 were quantified via Western blotting. The levels of oxidative stress markers and inflammatory factors， including superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Molecular docking analysis was performed for the main components of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma with TRPC3， TRPC6， NOX2， and NOX4. ResultsThe experimental results indicated that compared with the control group， the model group exhibited abnormally elevated blood pressure and increased lipid levels （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the DS-L group exhibited reduced systolic blood pressure （SBP）， diastolic blood pressure （DBP）， and mean arterial pressure （MAP） （P<0.05）， decreased serum levels of triglycerides （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） （P<0.05）， and increased level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） （P<0.01）. The DS-H and Tet groups showed more significant effects （P<0.01）. Moreover， the interventions attenuated vascular wall thickening， myocardial cell injury， and collagen and lipid deposition. Network pharmacology and proteomics prediction results indicated that the core targets of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma in treating hypertension were TRPC3， TRPC6， NOX2， and NOX4， and the core pathways included calcium signaling， cyclic guanosine monophosphate （cGMP）/cGMP-dependent protein kinase （PKG） signaling， and atherosclerosis-related pathways. The molecular mechanism experiment results indicated that compared with the control group， the model group exhibited significantly elevated tissue Ca²⁺ concentrations， exacerbated oxidative stress and inflammatory responses， and upregulated protein levels of TRPC3， TRPC6， NOX2， and NOX4 in the thoracic aorta and myocardial tissue （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， DS-L reduced the free Ca²⁺ concentration， lowered the levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， SOD， and MDA （P<0.05）， and downregulated the protein levels of TRPC3， TRPC6， NOX2， and NOX4 in the thoracic aorta and myocardial tissue （P<0.05）. DS-H and Tet exhibited more significant effects （P<0.01）. Meanwhile， the main components of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma had strong binding affinity with the core targets of hypertension. ConclusionSalviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma may ameliorate oxidative stress and mitigate inflammatory responses by regulating the TRPC3/6/NOX2/4 signaling pathway， thereby alleviating abnormal blood pressure abnormality and myocardial injury in hypertensive rats.

ObjectiveTo establish three standardized rehabilitation unit models covering acute, critical and comprehensive recovery stages for traumatic brain injury (TBI) that fit the whole-course characteristics, clarify their multidisciplinary collaborative framework, standardized procedures, and information management system, and verify the clinical effectiveness of this staged rehabilitation unit on long-term functional prognosis and in-hospital complications of TBI patients. MethodsThis study was conducted at two stages: model construction and efficacy verification. At the first stage, TBI rehabilitation units for acute, critical and recovery stages were established in the Department of Neurosurgery, Intensive Care Unit and Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, respectively, with unified multidisciplinary team configuration, standardized assessment and treatment protocols, collaborative workflows, and a dedicated information management system. At the second stage, 324 TBI patients admitted to the newly built rehabilitation units from July, 2023 to July, 2025 were enrolled as the observation group, and 167 TBI patients receiving traditional management from January, 2018 to December, 2022 were retrospectively selected as the control group. The primary outcomes were 1-year post-injury Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and Disability Rating Scale (DRS) scores. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of in-hospital complications and the mean indwelling time of tracheal intubation, gastric tube and urinary catheter. ResultsThe 1-year GOS score was significantly higher (t = -7.836, P < 0.001), and the DRS score was significantly lower (t = -6.742, P < 0.001) in the observation group than in the control group. The overall incidence of complications was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (χ² = 18.762, P < 0.001). The incidences of pulmonary infection, urinary tract infection, pressure ulcer, lower extremity venous thrombosis and joint contracture deformity were all significantly reduced (χ² > 4.328, P < 0.05). The indwelling time of tracheal intubation, gastric tube and urinary catheter was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group (t > 10.276, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe acute-critical-comprehensive three-stage standardized TBI rehabilitation unit could significantly improve the long-term functional outcomes of TBI patients, reduce the incidence of complications, and shorten the indwelling time of invasive tubes through multidisciplinary collaboration, whole-course standardized management and information-based quality control. This model conforms to the pathological and functional laws of TBI, realizes seamless whole-course connection from acute treatment to recovery rehabilitation, and has good clinical feasibility and promotion value. It can provide evidence-based evidence and practical reference for the homogenized and standardized development of TBI rehabilitation in China.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which 2，3，5，4'-tetrahydroxyldiphenylethylene-2-O-glucoside （THSG） mitigates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion （CI/R） injury by regulating mitochondrial calcium overload and promoting mitophagy. MethodsSixty male SD rats were randomized into sham， model， SAS （40 mg·kg^-1）， and low-， medium- and high-dose （10， 20， 40 mg·kg^-1， respectively） THSG groups， with 10 rats in each group. The middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion （MCAO/R） model was established by the modified Longa suture method. An oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation （OGD/R） model was constructed in PC12 cells. Neurological deficits were assessed via Zea Longa scoring， and cerebral infarct volume was measured by 2，3，5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining. Structural and functional changes of cortical neurons in MCAO/R rats were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin and Nissl staining. PC12 cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay， and mitochondrial calcium levels were quantified by Rhod-2 AM. Immunofluorescence was used to detect co-localization of PTEN-induced kinase 1 （PINK1） and leucine zipper/EF-hand-containing transmembrane protein 1 （LETM1） in neurons. Transmission electron microscopy （TEM） was employed to observe mitochondrial morphology in neurons. Western blot was employed to analyze the expression of translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 （TOMM20）， autophagy-associated protein p62， microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 （LC3）， cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-9 （Caspase-9）， B-cell lymphoma 2-associated protein X （Bax）， and cytochrome C （Cyt C）. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the model group exhibited increased infarct volume （P<0.01） and neurological deficit scores （P<0.01）， neuronal structure was disrupted with reduced Nissl bodies. （P<0.01）， mitochondrial swelling/fragmentation， decreased PINK1/LETM1 co-localization （P<0.01）， upregulated protein levels of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ， TOMM20， Caspase-9， Bax， and Cyt C （P<0.01）， downregulated protein level of p62 （P<0.05）， weakened PC12 viability （P<0.01）， and elevated mitochondrial calcium level （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， THSG and SAS groups showed reduced infarct volumes （P<0.05，P<0.01） and neurological deficit scores （P<0.05，P<0.01）， mitigated mitochondrial damage， and increased PINK1/LETM1 co-localization （P<0.01）. Medium/high-dose THSG and SAS alleviated the neurological damage， increased Nissl bodies （P<0.05，P<0.01）， downregulated the protein levels of p62， TOMM20， Caspase-9， Bax， and Cyt C （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and elevated the LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ level （P<0.05，P<0.01）. High-dose THSG enhanced PC12 cell viability （P<0.01）， increased PINK1/LETM1 co-localization （P<0.01）， and reduced mitochondrial calcium （P<0.01）. ConclusionTHSG may exert the neuroprotective effect on CI/R injury by activating the PINK1-LETM1 signaling pathway， reducing the mitochondrial calcium overload， and promoting mitophagy.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

OBJECTIVE To explore the time windows for postoperative pneumonia in patients undergoing different surgeries,providing evidence-based references for optimizing infection monitoring and prevention and control strategies.METHODS Sociodemographic characteristics,clinical information and surgical details of 263 patients with postoperative pneumonia from four different types of medical institutions between Jan.2019 and Dec.2024 were retrospectively collected.The time windows for postoperative pneumonia in patients undergoing different surgeries were analyzed.RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the time windows for post-operative pneumonia among groups in terms of sociodemographic factors and underlying diseases.However,sta-tistically significant differences were observed in the time windows for postoperative pneumonia based on surgery type,incision type,surgical approach and surgery duration(P＜0.05).The average time for the onset of postop-erative pneumonia in 263 patients was 2.00(1.00,7.00)days.The postoperative time windows varied for sur-geries involving different systems.The peak incidence occurred on day 0(16 cases)and day 1(17 cases)af-ter neurological surgery,while the peak incidence for digestive system and orthopedic surgeries was on day 1.The time span for the onset of pneumonia after skin surgeries was wider(0-53 days postoperatively)without a clear peak.In addition,33.33％of cardiovascular system surgery cases developed pneumonia 10 days postoperatively.There were also significant time differences in the diagnostic elements of postoperative pneumonia,with fever and abnormal white blood cell counts appearing earlier(median appearance time length:4.00 days)than lung imaging changes(median appearance time length:7.00 days).CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates significant time differences in the on-set of postoperative pneumonia and confirms the significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity in the diagnostic elements of postoperative pneumonia.These findings provide a quantitative basis for developing dynamic,surgery-type-spe-cific monitoring protocols and prevention and control measures for postoperative pneumonia.

BACKGROUND:Pedicle internal bone cement augmentation combined with vertebroplasty has been used to treat diseases such as Kummell's disease and osteolytic metastases of the pedicle.However,the impact of this surgical method on adjacent vertebrae and intervertebral discs remains unclear.OBJECTIVE:A three-dimensional finite element model was used to explore the impact of percutaneous vertebroplasty combined with pedicles augmentation in the treatment of severe osteoporotic vertebral fractures on the biomechanics of adjacent segmental vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs.METHODS:A female patient who had undergone percutaneous vertebroplasty combined with pedicles augmentation for a severe osteoporotic vertebral fracture(L1)was selected.Preoperative and postoperative CT files were extracted.The study range was T12 to L2,including the injured vertebra,adjacent vertebrae,and intervertebral discs.Software like Mimics,SolidWorks,and Geomagic was used to establish finite element models of the spinal functional unit before and after surgery.A 500 N force and a 10 N·m rotational torque were applied in the vertical direction of the T12 upper endplate to simulate movements such as flexion,extension,lateral bending,and rotation,analyzing the stress changes in the vertebral endplates and intervertebral discs of adjacent segments before and after surgery.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Three-dimensional finite element models of preoperative and postoperative spinal functional units were successfully established.(2)We calculated and analyzed that under simulated load,the stress distribution of the inferior endplate of T12 was more uniform and the maximum stress value was reduced after surgery,with no significant difference compared with before surgery(P＞0.05).The stress distribution of the superior endplate of L2 after surgery was more uniform and the maximum stress was not significantly different from that before surgery(P＞0.05).Similarly,the stress distribution of T12/L1 and L1/L2 intervertebral discs after surgery was also more uniform and the maximum stress value was significantly reduced(P＜0.05).(3)Therefore,percutaneous vertebroplasty combined with pedicles augmentation can effectively improve the stress distribution of adjacent vertebral endplates and intervertebral discs after surgery and reduce stress,ultimately reducing the risk of postoperative re-fractures and significantly delaying intervertebral disc degeneration.

Objective·To explore the metabolic profiling and metabolic reprogramming patterns of lung cancer cells with acquired resistance to sotorasib,a specific inhibitor to KRAS.Methods·The H2122 and H358 lung cancer cell models with acquired resistance to sotorasib(H2122-SR and H358-SR cells)were established and validated by CCK-8 assay.Ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-QTOF/MS)was employed to acquire the metabolic profiling of the resistant lung cancer cells and their homologous parental cells.Untargeted metabolomics studies and metabolic characterizations were conducted with multi-dimensional methods,including principal component analysis(PCA)and partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA),to identify differential metabolites associated with acquired resistance to sotorasib.Then these differential metabolites were subjected to pathway enrichment analysis.Heatmap analysis was used to compare the changes in metabolites in major differential metabolic pathways between the resistant and parental cells.Results·The cell models of H2122 and H358 with acquired resistance were successfully constructed,with half-maximal inhibitory concentrations(IC50)of sotorasib being 50 times higher than those of the parental cells.Besides,the metabolic profiling was significantly different between the resistant and parental cells.A total of 48 differential metabolites were identified between H2122-SR and H2122 cells.The top 10 differential metabolites,ranked by VIP values,were uridine,xanthylic acid,indole-3-carboxylic acid,nicotinic acid,xanthosine,xanthine,N-methylnicotinamide,hypoxanthine,trigonelline,and galactonic acid.Between H358-SR and H358 cells,a total of 79 differential metabolites were identified.The top 10 differential metabolites,ranked by VIP values,were glutathione,xanthosine,2-ketoglutaric acid,carboxyethyl lysine,thymidine,purine,riboflavin,3-indoleacrylic acid,indole-3-pyruvic acid,and dihydrouracil.The differential metabolites in the two lung cancer cell lines mainly participated in purine metabolism and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis,and purine metabolism was the most significantly altered metabolic pathway.Heatmap analysis showed that many metabolites in the purine metabolism were elevated in the sotorasib-resistant cells.Conclusion·The lung cancer cells with acquired resistance to sotorasib show enhanced purine metabolism.
