ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristic expression patterns of six neurotransmitters including 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT）， dopamine （DA）， acetylcholine （ACh）， norepinephrine （NE）， inhibitory neurotransmitter （INH）， and excitatory neurotransmitter （EXC） in the whole brain and different brain regions of depression patients by Search of Encephalo Telex （SET）， providing new ideas for the study of heterogeneous etiology of depression. Methods（1） A retrospective study was conducted on supra-slow signals of EEG fluctuations in 1 028 patients with depression. The SET system was used to obtain the expression information of six neurotransmitters in the whole brain and 12 brain regions： left frontal region （F3）， right frontal region （F4）， left central region （C3）， right central region （C4）， left parietal region （P3）， right parietal region （P4）， left occipital region （O1）， right occipital region （O2）， left anterior temporal region （F7）， right anterior temporal region （F8）， left posterior temporal region （T5）， and right posterior temporal region （T6）. The expression information of each neurotransmitter was compared with the normal model， and it was found that single neurotransmitter was in one of three states： increased， decreased， or normal expression. The simultaneous expression states of six neurotransmitters in the brain space were referred to as the expression pattern of multiple neurotransmitters. （2） A MySQL database was established to analyze the actual expression patterns of different neurotransmitters in the whole brain of patients with depression. （3） Factor analysis was conducted to further analyze the characteristic rules of 78 variables of neurotransmitters in the whole brain and 12 brain regions in depression patients. Results（1） The expression of single neurotransmitters in the whole brain and different brain regions of the total depression population showed one of three expression states （increased/decreased/normal）， being normal in the majority. The decreased and increased expression of 5-HT， ACh， DA， INH， EXC， and NE in the whole brain occurred in 6% and 25%， 31% and 17%， 36% and 9%， 15% and 31%， 32% and 14%， and 22% and 22%， respectively. （2） The antagonizing pairs of neurotransmitters （EXC/INH， DA/5-HT， and ACh/NE） showed significant antagonistic relationships in the whole brain and different brain regions， with a strong negative correlation between EXC and INH （P<0.01， |r| values ranging from 0.69 to 0.76）， a strong negative correlation between DA and 5-HT （P<0.01， |r| values ranging from 0.83 to 0.90）， and a moderate negative correlation between ACh and NE （P<0.01， with |r| values ranging from 0.56 to 0.66）. Meanwhile， non-antagonizing pairs of neurotransmitters in the whole brain and different brain regions also showed correlations， with DA/NE （P<0.01， |r| values ranging from 0.38 to 0.46） and NE/EXC （P<0.01， |r| values ranging from 0.56 to 0.61） showing weak and moderate negative correlations， respectively， and DA/EXC showing a weak positive correlation （P<0.01， |r| values ranging from 0.38 to 0.47）. （3） The six neurotransmitters in the 1 028 patients with depression presented a total of 170 expression patterns in the whole brain. The top 30 expression patterns were reported in this paper， with a cumulative rate of 60.60%， including patterns ① INH+/5-HT-/ACh+/DA+/NE-/EXC- （9.05%）， ② INH+/5-HT-/ACh↓/DA+/NE-/EXC- （4.57%）， and ③ INH+/5-HT-/ACh+/DA+/NE↓/EXC- （3.31%）. That is， the proportion of depression patients with normal levels of all the six neurotransmitters was 9.05%， and the patients with at least one neurotransmitter abnormality accounted for 91.95%. （4） The factor analysis extracted 22 common factors from 78 variables in the whole brain and different brain regions. These common factors showed the absolute values of loadings ranging from 0.32 to 0.86 and the eigenvalues （F） ranging from 1.03 to 13.43， with a cumulative contribution rate of 76.82%. The characteristic expression patterns included ① ACh_P3↓/ACh_W↓/ACh_C3↓/ACh_F3↓/ACh_O1↓/ACh_T5↓/ACh_F7↓/NE_P3↑/NE_W↑/NE_C3↑/NE_F3↑/NE_O1↑/NE_T5↑/NE_F7↑ （F=13.43， whole brain）， ② 5-HT_O2↑/DA_O2↓/5-HT_P4↑/DA_P4↓/5-HT_W↑/DA_W↓/5-HT_C4↑/DA_C4↓ （F=5.94）， and ③ EXC_F4↓/DA_F4↓/NE_F4↑/INH_F4↑/5-HT_F4↑/ACh_F4↓ （F=5.33）. ConclusionThe actual 170 expression patterns of 6 neurotransmitters in the whole brain of 1 028 depression patients indicate that depression is a heterogeneous disease with individualized characteristics. The 22 characteristic expression patterns in the whole brain and 12 brain regions verify the pathogenesis hypothesis of multi-neurotransmitters oscillation imbalance in brains of depression patients. In summary， this study provides new guidance for the etiology， diagnosis， and treatment of depression and establishes a methodological foundation for the effectiveness evaluation of individualized treatment of depression by traditional Chinese medicine based on the objective biological markers.

BACKGROUND:Types II,IIA,and III of Hangman fractures often require surgical treatment,and the selection of surgical methods is controversial.Current surgeries have shortcomings such as incomplete reduction and malunion after surgery.In the early stage,our team used C2-3 lag screws combined with a bucking bar.Intermittent pushing of the C2 vertebral body in the oropharynx has achieved satisfactory clinical results.However,the preliminary studies included few samples and lacked a control group for comparison. OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical efficacy of posterior C2-3 fixation combined with the bucking bar technique and posterior C2-3 fixation alone in the treatment of unstable Hangman fractures. METHODS:The clinical and imaging data of 55 patients with unstable Hangman fractures who underwent posterior C2-3 internal fixation in Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.According to the surgical plan,the patients were divided into two groups.Among them,23 patients received posterior cervical C2-3 internal fixation combined with the bucking bar technique(group A),and 32 patients received simple posterior C2-3 internal fixation(group B).Operation time,intraoperative blood loss,complications,pain visual analog scale score,neck disability index,American Spinal Injury Association classification,and patient satisfaction(Odom's classification)preoperation and during follow-up were compared between the two groups.The changes in C2-3 displacement and angulation and other imaging indicators were compared at each observation time point. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no statistically significant difference in operation time,intraoperative blood loss,and postoperative complications between the two groups(P>0.05).(2)The neck pain visual analog scale and neck disability index scores of the two groups of patients at the final follow-up were significantly improved compared with those before surgery(P<0.05).The Odom standard classification showed that 21 cases(91%)in group A were excellent and 29 cases(91%)were excellent and good in group B.There was no statistically significant difference in the clinical efficacy indicators between the two groups(all P>0.05).(3)There was no significant difference in C2-3 angulation and displacement between the two groups before operation(P>0.05).Postoperation and at the last follow-up,the angle and displacement of C2-3 in both groups were significantly smaller than before surgery,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).There was no statistically significant difference in the above indicators after surgery and at the last follow-up(P>0.05).After surgery and at the last follow-up,the displacement and angle of C2-3 in group A were significantly smaller than those in group B(P<0.05).(4)At the last follow-up,no patients in group A had residual deformity,and 4 cases(13%,4/32)in group B had residual deformity.(5)Therefore,posterior C2-3 fixation combined with transoral bucking bar technology may be beneficial to the reduction and stabilization of the vertebral body,reduces malunion,and can achieve better reduction.

ObjectiveJunctophilin-2 (JPH2) is an essential structural protein that maintains junctional membrane complexes (JMCs) in cardiomyocytes by tethering the plasma membrane to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, thereby facilitating excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. Mutations in JPH2 have been associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), but the molecular mechanisms governing its membrane-binding properties and the functional relevance of its membrane occupation and recognition nexus (MORN) repeat motifs remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to elucidate the structural basis of JPH2 membrane association and its implications for HCM pathogenesis. MethodsA recombinant N-terminal fragment of mouse JPH2 (residues1-440), encompassing the MORN repeats and an adjacent helical region, was purified under near-physiological buffer conditions.X-ray crystallography was employed to determine the structure of the JPH2 MORN-Helix domain. Sequence conservation analysis across species and junctophilin isoforms was performed to assess the evolutionary conservation of key structural features. Functional membrane-binding assays were conducted using liposome co-sedimentation and cell-based localization studies in COS7 and HeLa cells. In addition, site-directed mutagenesis targeting positively charged residues and known HCM-associated mutations, including R347C, was used to evaluate their effects on membrane interaction and subcellular localization. ResultsThe crystal structure of the mouse JPH2 MORN-Helix domain was resolved at 2.6 Å, revealing a compact, elongated architecture consisting of multiple tandem MORN motifs arranged in a curved configuration, forming a continuous hydrophobic core stabilized by alternating aromatic residues. A C-terminal α-helix further reinforced structural integrity. Conservation analysis identified the inner groove of the MORN array as a highly conserved surface, suggesting its role as a protein-binding interface. A flexible linker segment enriched in positively charged residues, located adjacent to the MORN motifs, was found to mediate direct electrostatic interactions with negatively charged phospholipid membranes. Functional assays demonstrated that mutation of these basic residues impaired membrane association, while the HCM-linked R347C mutation completely abolished membrane localization in cellular assays, despite preserving the overall MORN-Helix fold in structural modeling. ConclusionThis study provides structural insight into the membrane-binding mechanism of the cardiomyocyte-specific protein JPH2, highlighting the dual roles of its MORN-Helix domain in membrane anchoring and protein interactions. The findings clarify the structural basis for membrane targeting via a positively charged linker and demonstrate that disruption of this interaction—such as that caused by the R347C mutation—likely contributes to HCM pathogenesis. These results not only enhance current understanding of JPH2 function in cardiac E-C coupling but also offer a structural framework for future investigations into the assembly and regulation of JMCs in both physiological and disease contexts.

Aim To study the active ingredients and mechanism of action of Xinkeshu tablets against myo-cardial ischemia by network pharmacology and ze-brafish model.Methods The anti-myocardial ische-mia activity of Xinkeshu tablets was evaluated by iso-prenaline hydrochloride(ISO)-induced zebrafish myo-cardial ischemia model and H2O2-induced H9c2 dam-age model.The active ingredients of Xinkeshu tablets were retrieved using databases such as TCMSP.The potential targets were predicted by PharmaMapper data-base.Myocardial ischemic disease targets were searched by OMIM database.The potential therapeutic targets of Xinkeshu tablets against myocardial ischemia were analyzed.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were conducted on core targets.The active ingredients were verified by zebrafish and cell model.qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of key targets.Re-sults Xinkeshu tablets could significantly alleviate ISO-induced pericardial edema and bradycardia.It al-so could increase sinus venous-bulb aortic(SV-BA)distance and improve the cell viability.The 30 poten-tial active ingredients of Xinkeshu tables mainly acted on 30 core targets,including ALB,AKT1 and MAPK1,to regulate 627 GO items,including protein phosphorylation,negative regulation of apoptosis and positive regulation of PI3K signal transduction.KEGG results showed that 117 signaling pathways,including PI3K/Akt,FOXO and Ras,exerted anti-myocardial ischemia effect.Salvianolic acid A,lithospermic acid,rosmarinic acid,salvianolic acid D,salvianolic acid B,ginsenoside Rg2,hyperoside,3'-methoxypuerarin,3'-hydroxypuerarin and ginsenoside Rg1 could alleviate ISO-induced zebrafish myocardial ischemia and im-prove the cell viability.Xinkeshu tablets could upregu-late the expression of genes such as ras and akt1,and downregulate the expression of genes such as mapk1 and mapk8.Conclusion The active ingredients,in-cluding salvianolic acid A in Xinkeshu tablets,exert anti-myocardial ischemia effects by targeting targets,such as AKT1,MAPK1,and regulating signaling path-ways,such as PI3K/Akt,MAPK and Ras.

Aim To observe the changes in hippocam-pal 2A subunit of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor(NR2A)before and after the learning and memory training,and then investigate the neuropharmacological effects of NR2A by microinjection of NVP-AAM077(NR2A specific antagonist)into the hippocampal den-teta gyrus,based on the spatial learning and memory behavior paradigm induced by Mirror water maze train-ing.Methods Three-month old SD rats were random-ly divided into the training and non-training group,and the rats in the two groups were randomly divided into control group and NVP-AAM077 group(NVP).The expressions of NR2A,brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),transcriptional activator 4(ATF4)and eu-karyotic transcription initiation factor 2 α(eIF2α)phosphorylation levels in denteta gyrus were detected by Western blot.Then,integrated stress response in-hibitor ISRIB was microinjected into the dentate gyrus after the NVP,the expression of ATF4 and p-eIF2αlevels,and the spatial memory abilities were detected.Results Compared with non-training,behavioral training promoted the expression of NR2A and BDNF of rats in denteta gyrus,and this effect could be inhibi-ted by NVP,which significantly increased the expres-sion of p-eIF2α and ATF4.Injection of ISRIB into denteta gyrus significantly inhibited the expression of ATF4,and reversed the spatial memory impairment caused by NVP.Conclusion NVP-induced hipp-ocampal dentate gyrus NR2A-mediated spatial learning and memory impairment in rats may be related to hipp-ocampal integrated stress response.

Aim To investigate the effect of Dahuang Tangluo pills(DHTL)on NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)/cysteine aspartate proteolytic enzyme-1(caspase-1)/apodermic D(GSDMD)pathway-media-ted pyroptosis in db/db mice with diabetic kidney dis-ease(DKD)and the underlying mechanism.Methods Eight db/m mice were selected as control group,and forty db/db mice were randomly divided into mod-el group,low dose group,medium dose group,high dose group and dapagliflozin group,with eight mice in each group.The control group and model group were given equal volume normal saline intragastric adminis-tration,the low,medium and high dose groups were given DHTL solution of 0.9,1.8 and 3.6 mg·kg-1,respectively,and the dapagliflozin group was given dapagliflozin tablet solution of 1.5 mg·kg-1,and the six groups were given intragastric administration once a day for 10 weeks.The body weight of mice was meas-ured daily and the dose was adjusted during adminis-tration.Fasting blood glucose(FBG)and body weight were measured after administration.The levels of 24-hour urinary total protein(24h-UTP),blood creatinine(Scr)and urea nitrogen(BUN)were measured by au-tomatic biochemical analyzer.The levels of interleukin-1 β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-18(IL-18)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in re-nal tissue of mice were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The pathological changes of renal tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.The DNA damage in mouse kid-ney tissue was observed using in situ end labeling(TUNEL)staining.The mRNA and protein expres-sions of NLRP3,caspase-1 and GSDMD in mouse kid-ney tissues were detected by Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot.Results Compared with the control group,FBG,body weight,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-18 and TNF-α in the model group significantly increased(P＜0.01).The mRNA and protein expressions of NLRP3,caspase-1 and GSDMD in mouse kidney tis-sues significantly increased(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the levels of FBG,body weight,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-18 and TNF-α in each administration group significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The patho-logical morphology of renal tissue was improved in dif-ferent degrees,and the number of positive cells in re-nal tissue was significantly reduced(P＜0.05).The mRNA and protein expressions of NLRP3,caspase-1 and GSDMD in renal tissue of mice in high and medi-um dose of DHTL and dapagliflozin group significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusions DHTL can im-prove the renal injury of DKD,and its mechanism may be through the regulation of NLRP3/caspase-1/GSD-MD pathway to inhibit pyroptosis and relieve the in-flammatory response of DKD mice.

Aim To explore the protective effect of an-thocyanin B2(PCB2)on hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)induced oxidative damage and apoptosis in human oli-godendrocytes(MO3.13)and the underlying mecha-nism.Methods The optimal concentration of H2O2 and PCB2 for action was screened,and divided into normal group,PCB2 group(100 mg·L-1 PCB2 treat-ment for 24 hours),H2 O2 model group(500 μmol·L-1 H2O2 treatment for 24 hours),and H2O2+PCB2 group(500 μmol·L-1 H2O2 and 100 mg·L-1 PCB2 co-treated for 24 hours).FRAP method was used to detect the antioxidant capacity of PCB2;CCK-8 meth-od was used to detect the survival rate of cells in each group,while LDH method was used to assess cytotoxic-ity.Microenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and ELISA were used to examine the levels of LDH,NO,H2O2,as well as the activities of CAT and SOD in each group of cells.Immunofluorescence and Western blot were used to detect the protein expression levels of NRF2,xCT,HO-1,ferritin,and GPX4 in each group of cells.FerroOrange fluorescent probe was used to de-tect the intracellular content of ferrous ions(Fe2+).Results H2O2 could induce MO3.13 oxidative dam-age and lead to cell ferroptosis,while PCB2 could alle-viate MO3.13 oxidative damage and ferroptosis.Com-pared with the H2O2 model group,PCB2 intervention could significantly increase LDH content in MO3.13,reduce NO and H2O2 content,and improve SOD and CAT activity,and up-regulate the protein expression levels of NRF2,xCT,HO-1,ferritin,and GPX4.Conclusion PCB2 can enhance cellular antioxidant capacity and alleviate H2O2 induced MO3.13 oxidative damage through the NRF2/HO-1/xCT/GPX4 axis.
