Objective:To investigate the effects of the novel oral edaravone(EDA)on rats with diabetic encepha-lopathy(DE).Methods:The network pharmacology research methodology was employed to elucidate the mechanism of action of oral EDA in the treatment of diabetes mellitus,identify intersecting targets,and conduct initial validation of these findings in vivo.Thirty male SD rats were randomly assigned to three groups:A normal control(control)group,a diabetic encephalopathy DE(DE)group,and an oral edaravone treatment(DE+EDA)group.Diabetic encephalop-athy was induced in both the DE and DE+EDA groups using the streptozotocin(STZ)method.After successful model-ing,the DE+EDA group received oral administration of EDA,while the other two groups were administered equal doses of saline as controls.Serum samples were examined for lipid release rate,and the protein expression levels of oxidative stress factor 3-nitrotyrosine(3-NT)and apoptotic factor cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3(caspase-3)in brain tissues were detected by Western blot.Brain samples were stained with HE staining to observe the pathological changes.Histopathological changes were observed through hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Results:Network pharmacological analysis yielded 27 core targets,and functional annotation of gene bioprocesses showed that the intersecting targets were mainly enriched in response to oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis.Serum-related lipid assay showed that the DE+EDA group had significantly improved lipid metabolism disorders compared with the DE group.Additionally,expression levels of 3-NT and caspase-3 were significantly higher in the DE group when compared with controls(P<0.05);How-ever,both markers exhibited a significant decrease within the DE+EDA treatment cohort as opposed to their counter-parts in the DE group(P<0.05).HE staining showed that in DE group the cellular arrangement was disordered,the cells were shrunk with intact plasma membrane,and the nuclei were condensed showing karyopyknosis,fragmented and dissolved.Compared with the DE group,the brain tissue in the DE+EDA group was relatively dense and neatly ar-ranged,and the cell karyopyknosis,fragmentation and lysis were significantly improved.Conclusion:Both network pharmacology and in vivo experiments provide preliminary evidence that oral EDA reduces damage in diabetic encepha-lopathy rats.

Gliomas, especially high-grade gliomas such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), are primary malignant tumors of the central nervous system, characterized by high proliferative capacity, invasiveness, and therapeutic resistance. The development of GBM relies heavily on continuous metabolic reprogramming to adapt to the unique intracranial microenvironment, with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolic remodeling playing a pivotal role. Dysregulation of NAD+ and its associated metabolic pathways sustains increased intracellular NAD+ levels, which drive the malignant proliferation and invasive potential of GBM, correlating with worsened patient prognosis. This review systematically summarizes the current research landscape of NAD+ metabolic remodeling in GBM, elucidates the mechanisms by which NAD+ contributes to GBM pathogenesis and progression, and explores the clinical potential of NAD+-targeted diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to provide novel insights and directions for the clinical management of GBM.

Objective:To introduce the research and innovations around the application of aquatic rehabilitation techniques in the treatment of lumbago, and to summarize specific methods and applications in aeromedicine. Literature resource and selection Literature on the prevention and treatment of lumbago using aquatic rehabilitation techniques as well as on the rehabilitation of lumbago in pilots was retrieved and selected. Literature quotation Sixty-one references were cited. Literature synthesis Aquatic rehabilitation techniques can be classified into shower therapy, immersion therapy, and aquatic exercise therapy according to treatment regimens. Among them, immersion therapy and aquatic exercise therapy are commonly used in the treatment of lumbago. Aquatic rehabilitation techniques can effectively alleviate patients′ lumbago, improve their functional disorders, and enhance their quality of life. Prior to aquatic therapy, patients with lumbago need to have their motor function assessed to tailor the treatment protocol based on diagnostic findings and specific therapeutic objectives. Aquatic rehabilitation techniques, when used to prevent and treat lumbago in pilots under convalescence, are not only more effective than land-based training, but also more accessible to pilots due to their comfort and compliance. Many of our military rehabilitation and convalescent centers in China have integrated modern aquatic rehabilitation techniques into rehabilitation treatment by drawing on their rich water resources so as to improve the physical and mental health, social adaptability and military adaptability of pilots. Conclusions:When used for the prevention and treatment of lumbago, aquatic rehabilitation techniques are highly effective, safe and enjoyable, so they should be made more accessible to pilots during convalescence.

Objective:To characterize the histopathological subtypes and their clinicopathological parameters of gender and onset age by common, rare and sparse primary esophageal malignant tumors (PEMT).Methods:A total of 272 437 patients with PEMT were enrolled in this study, and all of the patients were received radical surgery. The clinicopathological information of the patients was obtained from the database established by the State Key Laboratory of Esophageal Cancer Prevention & Treatment from September 1973 to December 2020, which included the clinical treatment, pathological diagnosis and follow-up information of esophagus and gastric cardia cancers. All patients were diagnosed and classified by the criteria of esophageal tumor histopathological diagnosis and classification (2019) of the World Health Organization (WHO). The esophageal tumors, which were not included in the WHO classification, were analyzed separately according to the postoperative pathological diagnosis. The χ 2 test was performed by the SPSS 25.0 software on count data, and the test standard α=0.05. Results:A total of 32 histopathological types were identified in the enrolled PEMT patients, of which 10 subtypes were not included in the WHO classification. According to the frequency, PEMT were divided into common (esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, ESCC, accounting for 97.1%), rare (esophageal adenocarcinoma, EAC, accounting for 2.3%) and sparse (mainly esophageal small cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, etc., accounting for 0.6%). All the common, rare, and sparse types occurred predominantly in male patients, and the gender difference of rare type was most significant (EAC, male∶ female, 2.67∶1), followed with common type (ESCC, male∶ female, 1.78∶1) and sparse type (male∶ female, 1.71∶1). The common type (ESCC) mainly occurred in the middle thoracic segment (65.2%), while the rare type (EAC) mainly occurred in the lower thoracic segment (56.8%). Among the sparse type, malignant melanoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma were both predominantly located in the lower thoracic segment (51.7%, 66.7%), and the others were mainly in the middle thoracic segment.Conclusion:ESCC is the most common type among the 32 histopathological types of PEMT, followed by EAC as the rare type, and esophageal small cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma as the major sparse type, and all of which are mainly occur in male patients. The common type of ESCC mainly occur in the middle thoracic segment, while the rare type of EAC mainly in the lower thoracic segment. The mainly sparse type of malignant melanoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma predominately occur in the lower thoracic segment, and the remaining sparse types mainly occur in the middle thoracic segment.
