OBJECTIVE: To identify the CDYL-interacting proteins in murine testis and investigate the mechanism of CDYL involved in spermatogenesis. METHODS: CDYL-interacting partners in testis were identified using co-immunoprecipitation coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Expression pattern of CDYL-interacting protein MYH9 was analyzed through immunohistochemistry (IHC), confocal immunofluorescence (IF) and Western blot (WB) in mouse testicular cells. The effect of the Cdyl conditional knockout (CdylcKO) in spermatogenic cell on Myh9 expression was quantified via RT-qPCR, WB and IF imaging in both spermatids and spermatozoa from cauda epididymides. RESULTS: Direct interaction between MYH9 and CDYL was confirmed in murine testis. During spermiogenesis, MYH9 exhibited co-localization with CDYL at the manchette structure, and binding to F-ACTIN, the component of manchette. In cauda epididymal spermatozoa, MYH9 signal concentrated on acrosomal region and continuously distributed along the tail length. Conditional deletion of Cdyl in spermatogenic cell resulted in the transcriptional downregulation of Myh9. In spermatids, CdylcKO led to reduced but retained MYH9 localization to the disorganized manchette structure. In spermatozoa from CdylcKO mice, abnormalities of MYH9 localization were observed, including attenuation of acrosomal signal and/or partial vanishment/enhancement of tail signal. CONCLUSION In murine spermatids, MYH9 protein is localized to the manchette structure, with its expression and subcellular distribution is affected by CDYL protein. CDYL-MYH9 interaction is essential for the spermiogenesis.

Infectious keratitis (IK) is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, primarily resulting from improper contact lens use, trauma, and a compromised immune response. The pathogenic microorganisms responsible for IK include bacteria, fungi, viruses, and Acanthamoeba. This review examines standard therapeutic agents for treating IK, including broad-spectrum empiric antibiotics for bacterial keratitis (BK), antifungals such as voriconazole and natamycin for fungal infections, and antiviral nucleoside analogues for viral keratitis (VK). Additionally, this review discusses therapeutic agents, such as polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), for the treatment of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK). The review also addresses emerging drugs and the challenges associated with their clinical application, including anti-biofilm agents that combat drug resistance and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway-targeted therapies to mitigate inflammation. Furthermore, methods of Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy (PDAT) are explored. This review underscores the importance of integrating novel and traditional therapies to tackle drug resistance and enhance drug delivery, with the goal of advancing treatment strategies for IK.

ObjectiveTo reveal the influence of Jianchangbang characteristic processing method on the change process of volatile components and the processing mechanism of reducing toxicity and increasing efficiency of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex（MOC） by studying the changes in the composition and content of volatile components during the processing of ginger processed Xingpo pieces. MethodSamples of raw products， ginger juice moisturized products and stir-fried and heap moisturized products of MOC were taken according to the set time points， and headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（HS-GC-MS） was used to determine the contents of volatile components in the samples， and the relative content of each component was obtained by peak area normalization. Principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） were performed on the sample data using SIMCA 14.1 software， and the differential components during the processing were screened with variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1 as the indicator. ResultA total of 68 volatile components were identified in the samples， among which some of the chemical components with similar structures showed similar trends of changes， and there was also the phenomenon of interconversion between compounds. Compared with the raw products， the contents of 42 components in ginger juice moisturized products increased， while the contents of 25 components decreased， 19 components were unique， and 4 components were unique to the raw products. Compared with ginger juice moisturized products， MOC in the early stage of piling had three unique components， and the contents of 11 components such as cyclosativene and （+）-α-pinene increased， and the contents of 5 components such as tricyclic terpene and α-curcumene decreased， and ginger juice moisturized products had four unique components. Compared with the early stage of piling， in the later stage， the contents of 8 components such as （+）-α-pinene and camphene significantly increased， while the contents of 6 components such as linalool and α-selinene significantly decreased. During the processing of MOC， there were significant changes in the chemical composition of the samples before and after 20 days. The differences between ginger juice moistening and the early stage of piling， the early stage and the later stage of piling could be clearly distinguished. ConclusionDuring the preparation process of ginger processed Xingpo pieces， the addition of ginger juice can reduce the contents of stimulating components， and the contents of active components continue to increase in several stages， such as the addition of ginger juice， frying and heap moisturizing， the quality of the decoction pieces may change significantly at about 20 d of processing. This study can provide a research basis for exploring the processing mechanism of ginger processed Xingpo pieces.

ObjectiveTo systematically compare the chemical compositional differences between Puerariae Thomsonii stem base（PTSB） and Puerariae Thomsonii Radix（PTR）， and to explore the potential hepatoprotective effects of PTSB by liver metabolomics. MethodUltra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS） was used to analyze the chemical compositions of PTSB and PTR. Twenty Kunming mice aged 6-8 weeks， half male and half female， were randomly divided into the blank group（sterile water） and PTSB group（1.95 g·kg^-1）， with 10 mice in each group， and the drug was administered by gavage for 14 d， and the body mass was weighed once a day. After the last administration， mice were anesthetized， organs such as heart， liver， spleen， lungs and kidneys were collected， and the organ index was calculated. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to measure the levels of aspartate aminotransferase（AST）， alanine aminotransferase（ALT）， total cholesterol（TC） and triglyceride（TG） in the serum of mice from each group， the morphological changes of heart， liver， spleen， lung and kidney tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， and the regulation of PTSB for the hepatic metabolic profiles of mice was analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS， then the differential metabolites between the blank group and PTSB group were designated， and the metabolic pathways was enriched by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）. ResultA total of 19 common chemical constituents were identified from PTSB and PTR， all of which were the main pharmacodynamic substances of PTR. The pharmacodynamic results showed that PTSB could control the growth of body mass of mice and reduce the contents of TC， TG， ALT and AST in serum of mice. HE staining observations and organ indexes showed that there was no significant effect of PTSB on all major organs at the highest clinically equivalent dose. A total of 38 differential metabolites were identified by metabolomics， of which 35 were up-regulated and 3 were down-regulated. These differential metabolites were mainly compounds such as amino acids， fatty acids， vitamins， steroids， nucleosides， pyrimidines and alkaloids. Three key metabolic pathways， including tyrosine metabolism， vitamin B₆ metabolism and tryptophan metabolism， were screened by metabolic pathway analysis. ConclusionPTSB has a similar chemical composition to that of PTR， and it may regulate the metabolism of amino acids and vitamins through the flavonoids and isoflavonoids， thus exerting a potential hepatoprotective effect. This study provides an experimental reference for the clinical application and product development of PTSB.

In 2022, the RIGHT-Ad@pt guideline adaptation reporting checklist was released. It provides a detailed description of the guideline adaptation process and reporting content, which will significantly enhance the rigor, transparency, and standardization of guideline adaptations. This paper interprets and analyzes the 34 items on the checklist, with the aim of providing reference for guideline adapters to standardize the reporting process.

Liver transplantation, the only effective treatment for end stage liver disease, is characterized by complicated surgery, long surgery time, and high trauma. Patients may experience a variety of difficulties following surgery, including infection, abdominal bleeding and rejection, all of which directly affect the quality of rehabilitation. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), a novel perioperative management strategy, can effectively promote postoperative recovery of patients and has been extensively implemented in various fields of surgery. However, there are no scientific and universal ERAS protocols in the fields of liver transplantation in China. The first Consensus Recommendations of Enhanced Recovery for Liver Transplantation was issued by the International Liver Transplantation Society in December 2022, offering recommendations about ERAS strategies for liver transplantation recipients who receive deceased and living organ donations, and for living donors of liver transplantation. This paper provides a detailed interpretation of the key points to offer a practical reference for domestic liver transplantation perioperative ERAS management.

Moyamoya disease is a chronic cerebrovascular disease characterized by stenosis or occlusion at the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery, accompanied by the formation of an abnormal vascular network. If these cerebral angiography findings are only seen in one hemisphere of the brain, it is unilateral moyamoya disease (U-MMD). Numerous studies have shown that U-MMD is not uncommon. The latest version of diagnostic criteria has clearly diagnosed U-MMD as Moyamoya disease, rather than being a "possible" moyamoya disease. The pathogenesis of this disease involves genetic, immune, and environmental factors, but the exact cause is currently unclear. Compared with the bilateral moyamoya disease, the U-MMD has different clinical features and imaging manifestations, and has better surgical outcome, and many risk factors promote its progression to the contralateral side. This article reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, treatment, and surgical outcome of U-MMD, and looks forward to the future research directions.

Objective:To establish a highly sensitive and quantitative detection method for ABL1 kinase region mutations,provide strong support for the early diagnosis and treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia(CML).Methods:Sampele from 35 CML patients who were initially tested negative for ABL1 kinase region mutations by Sanger sequencing were collected.The ABL1 kinase region mutation was detected by the fluorescence quantitative detection kit of Shanghai Yuanqi Biopharmaceutical Technology Co.,Ltd.The mutation rate was analyzed byΔΔCt value method.The relative mutation rate of the final ABL1 kinase region was determined by dividing the mutation rate by the expression level of the fusion gene.Results:Among the 35 CML patients initially tested negative for ABL1 mutations by the Sanger sequencing method,7 cases of T315I mutation,2 cases of T315A mutation,2 cases of Y253H mutation,and 1 cases of E255K mutation after detection of the new method.The relative mutation rates range from 0.1％to 19.42％,which could not be detected by Sanger sequencing method.Subsequently,this method was used to detect the ABL1 mutation in 126 CML patients,and the positive rate exceeded that of the Sanger sequencing method.The BCR-ABL1 gene expression significantly reduced or negative after adjusting treatment strategy based on the mutation situation.Conclusion:Compared with Sanger sequencing,fluorescence quantitative PCR has higher sensitivity and can screen for low-frequency ABL1 kinase mutations in the early stage.Moreover,it can also perform relative quantitative analysis,so the method has good clinical application prospects for detecting ABL1 mutation.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the thermic effect of food (TEF) in a Chinese mixed diet in young people. METHODS: During the study, the participants were weighed and examined for body composition every morning. The total energy expenditure (TEE) of the participants was measured by the doubly labeled water method for 7 days, and during this period, basal energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry and physical activity energy expenditure was measured by an accelerometer. The value obtained by subtracting basal energy expenditure and physical activity energy expenditure from TEE was used to calculate TEF. RESULTS: Twenty healthy young students (18-30 years; 10 male) participated in the study. The energy intake of the participants was not significantly different from the Chinese Dietary Reference Intake of energy ( P > 0.05). The percentage of energy from protein, fat and carbohydrate were all in the normal range. The intakes of fruits, milk and dietary fiber of the participants were significantly lower than those in the Chinese Dietary Guidelines ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the body weight of the participants during the experiment ( P > 0.05). When adjusted for body weight, there was no significant difference in either TEE or basal energy expenditure between the male and female participants ( P > 0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in physical activity energy expenditure and TEF between the male and female participants ( P > 0.05). The percentage of TEF in TEE was 8.73%. CONCLUSION The percentage of TEF in TEE in a Chinese mixed diet in young people was significantly lower than 10% ( P < 0.001). A value of 10% is usually considered to be the TEF in mixed diets as a percentage of TEE.
