Objective To explore the non-invasive diagnostic criteria of magnetocardiography (MCG) for coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMVD), and its value in dynamically assessing drug treatment for CMVD. Methods Patients who presented with chest tightness or chest pain at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from September 2024 to March 2025 were consecutively enrolled, and all of whom had non-obstructive coronary arteries on angiography. Using the coronary angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (caIMR) as the gold standard, patients were divided into a normal microcirculation group (caIMR≤40 U) and a CMVD group (caIMR>40 U). MCG testing was performed using a domestic device (MD-U041001, Mind Medical). Patients in the CMVD group received adenosine treatment and underwent repeat MCG after medication. Differences in MCG parameters between the two groups were analyzed, and a diagnostic model was established. The value of the diagnostic model was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results A total of 311 patients were included, with 135 in the normal microcirculation group and 176 in the CMVD group. The CMVD group had a significantly higher proportion of males (61.9% vs 47.4%, P=0.012), and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels ([1.16±0.31] mmol/L vs [1.24±0.29] mmol/L, P=0.029) than the normal group. Eleven MCG parameters showed significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05), among which increased values of mfm_QR_epav, mfm_RS_epmse, space_zeroRTrot, as well as decreased value of mfm_QR_v1 were independent predictors of CMVD. The diagnostic model based on these 11 MCG parameters yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.688 (95%CI 0.629-0.747). The integrated diagnostic model combining clinical risk factors (male, smoking history, HDL-C) with MCG parameters had an AUC of 0.701 (95%CI 0.643-0.759). After adenosine treatment, patients in the CMVD group showed significant decreases in mfm_QR_epav (P=0.010), mfm_RS_sad (P=0.013), and mfm_RS_epmse (P=0.046). Conclusions The model based on MCG parameters demonstrates good diagnostic ability for CMVD; dynamic changes in MCG parameters following adenosine intervention may serve as potential objective indicators for evaluating microcirculatory treatment efficacy.

Objective:To construct fused cancer cell/neutrophil membrane-coated polydopamine nanoparticles chelated with manganese ions (Ⅱ) (PMNP@FMs) and explore the potential for targeted pancreatic cancer fluorescence imaging and MRI.Methods:Cancer cell membranes fused with neutrophil membranes were encapsulated on the surface of polydopamine nanoparticles chelated with manganese ions (Ⅱ) (PMNPs) to prepare PMNP@FMs. The morphology, structure, and MRI performance of the product were characterized. The cytotoxicity of PMNP@FMs towards human pancreatic cancer cells (PANC-1) and normal human pancreatic ductal epithelial cells (hTERT-HPNE) was evaluated using cell counting kit (CCK)-8, and in vivo toxicity was assessed in healthy mice. PANC-1 pancreatic cancer xenograft nude mouse models were established for in vivo fluorescence imaging and MRI. Data were analyzed using the independent-sample t test, repeated measures analysis of variance and the least significance difference method. Results:PMNP@FMs exhibited a core-shell structure with a diameter of (112.81±8.64) nm, negative surface charge, and good dispersibility. The T 1 relaxivity of PMNPs was 18.81±0.22, which was 4.1 times higher than that of gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) (4.55±0.24; t=75.54, P<0.001). Co-culture of PMNPs and PMNP@FMs with hTERT-HPNE and PANC-1 cells for 24 h resulted in cell viability above 90% within the concentration range of 0-500 μg/ml. PMNP@FMs did not affect mouse survival and showed no apparent organ damage. In vivo fluorescence imaging and MRI revealed that PMNP@FMs accumulated highly in tumors and reached the peak 24 h post intravenous administration (relative MR signal: 1.35±0.01, fluorescence intensity: (1.20±0.25)×10 10), surpassing the peak observed in the control group (1.22±0.01, (3.87±0.50)×10 9;F values: 11.03-188.01, t values: 18.20, 5.64, all P<0.05), with hepatic metabolism being the primary route of clearance. Conclusion:PMNP@FMs demonstrate a potential for targeted pancreatic cancer fluorescence imaging and MRI, offering promising prospect for precise diagnosis of early-stage pancreatic cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Huashi Runzao prescription (HRP) on the histopathological injury and function of submandibular gland in naive non-obese diabetic (NOD/Ltj) mouse model of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and its regulatory effect on aquaporin 5 (AQP5) expression in submandibular gland cells. MethodThe SS model was induced in NOD/Ltj mice. The NOD/Ltj female mice aged nine weeks were selected and randomly assigned into model group,HRP group (7.15 g·kg-1·d-1),and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) group (1.30 g·kg-1·d-1), and female BALB/c mice in the same age were selected and assigned into the normal group, with six mice in each group. Drug intervention lasted eight weeks. The water consumption and salivary flow rate (SFR) of each group were recorded. The pathological staining results of the submandibular gland of mice in each group were observed and scored. AQP5 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed increased water consumption (P<0.05) and reduced SFR (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the HRP group showed decreased water consumption (P<0.05) and increased SFR (P<0.05), and the HCQ group showed increased SFR (P<0.05). In terms of histopathological results of the submandibular gland,compared with the normal group,the model group showed increased pathological score, number of lymphocyte infiltration foci,and percentage of lymphatic infiltration area (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the HRP group showed reduced pathological scores and number of lymphocyte infiltration foci (P<0.05), and the HRP group and the HCQ group showed reduced percentage of lymphatic infiltration area(P<0.05). The results of IHC and Western blot showed that compared with the normal group,the model group showed down-regulated expression level of AQP5 protein (P<0.05), and compared with the model group and the HCQ group,the HRP group showed up-regulated expression level of AQP5 protein (P<0.05). ConclusionHRP can improve the secretion function of submandibular gland acinous cells and glandular structure injury in SS model mice, and its mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of AQP5 protein expression level in submandibular gland cells.

ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy and safety of Huashi Runzao prescription for patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) of combined dryness and dampness pattern. MethodA total of 105 eligible patients were randomized into the experimental group (65 cases) and control group (40 cases), and they were respectively treated with Huashi Runzao prescription and hydroxychloroquine for 12 weeks. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was employed to assess the symptoms. The symptoms of dryness, fatigue, and pain, European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Sjögren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI), EULAR Sjögren's syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI), and immune inflammatory indicators before and after treatment were compared between the two groups, and adverse reactions were observed. ResultAfter treatment, the ESSPRI score was lower than that before treatment in the experimental groups (P<0.01) and was lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). The VAS scores of dry mouth, dry eyes, overall dryness, fatigue, and pain in the experimental group decreased compared with those before treatment (P<0.01), and the experimental group had lower VAS scores of dry mouth and overall dryness than the control group (P<0.01). After treatment, the ESSDAI score of both groups decreased compared with that before treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between the groups. After treatment, the level of immunoglobulin M (IgM) decreased (P<0.01) and the level of complement C3 increased (P<0.01) in the experimental group, while the level of complement C3 decreased in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the laboratory indexes between groups. During the treatment, stomachache occurred to one case in the experimental group, which was alleviated after the treatment, and no adverse reaction was observed in the control group. According to the chi-square test, the occurrence of adverse reactions was insignificantly different between the two groups. ConclusionHuashi Runzao prescription can alleviate the symptoms of dryness, fatigue, and pain, and reduce disease activity without associated side effects in pSS patients with combined dampness and dryness pattern.
