Objective:An in vivo mammalian hepatocyte Unscheduled DNA Synthesis(UDS)test was used to evaluate the genotoxicity of Cross-linked Sodium Hyaluronate Gel and Bone Repair Materials,providing experimental evidence for establishing a UDS testing method for medical devices and materials.Methods:0.9％sodium chloride injection and cottonseed oil were used as the solvent for test materials and negative control,respectively.N-dimethylnitrosamine(NDMA)was used as the positive control for the early sampling times,and 2-acetylaminofluorene(2-AAF)was used as the positive control for the late sampling times.SD rats were administered a single dose for toxic exposure,and liver tissues were collected at 4 h and 16 h,respectively.Hepatocytes were isolated using collagenase perfusion.After labeling with 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU),and the net average fluorescence intensity(NAFI)of cell nuclei and nucleoplasm was measured by fluorescence microscope.Data from 50 cells were used to analyze the DNA repair level.Results:Compared with the negative control groups,the positive control groups(NDMA and 2-AAF)showed highly statistically significant differences in NAFI(P＜0.01),indicating successful induction of DNA damage.There was no statistically significant differences between the cross-linked sodium hyaluronate gel groups,bone repair material groups and the negative control group(P＞0.05),suggesting that these materials did not significantly induce DNA damage under the experimental conditions.Conclusion:This study first applied EdU labeling technology to the in vivo hepatic UDS assay,achieving non-radioactive labeling through click chemistry reactions.Under the conditions of this study,cross-linked sodium hyaluronate gel and bone repair materials did not exhibit genotoxicity.In the follow-up,the sample range can be expanded and the observation period can be prolonged to further improve the genotoxicity evaluation system of medical devices.

Objective To investigate the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and cognitive decline.Methods Data were obtained from the cognitive impairment cohort of middle-aged and elderly population in rural areas of Xi'an City.The cohort consisted of residents aged 40 years and older in two villages of Huyi District,Xi'an.The baseline survey was completed between October 2014 and March 2015,with two follow-up visits in 2016 and 2018.The present study was conducted on cognitively normal people at baseline.Individual characteristics,lifestyle,and medical history were collected;physical and biochemical examinations were completed.According to medical history of T2DM and fasting blood glucose,the study population was divided into non-T2DM group,pre-existing T2DM group,and new-onset T2DM group.The Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)was used to assess global cognitive function.Participants with a drop of≥2 points in MMSE score from baseline after 4 years were defined as having cognitive decline.Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were employed to analyze the effect of T2DM status on the risk of cognitive decline.Results A total of 1 350 subjects completed the follow-up.In the follow-up population,1 096(81.2％)were free of T2DM,158(11.7％)already had T2DM at baseline,and 96(7.1％)developed new-onset T2DM during the follow-up.Cognitive decline was observed in 230 individuals after 4 years,representing 17.0％of the study population.The new-onset T2DM group had the highest 4-year incidence of cognitive decline(non-T2DM group vs.pre-existing T2DM group vs.new-onset T2DM group:15.7％vs.20.9％vs.26.0％,P=0.014),and the incidence of cognitive decline in the newly-onset T2DM group was significantly higher than that in the non-T2DM group(P=0.009).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the new-onset T2DM group had an increased risk of cognitive decline compared with the non-T2DM group within 4 years(OR=1.726,95％CI:1.029-2.896,P=0.039).However,no significant difference in 4-year risk of cognitive decline in the pre-existing T2DM group was observed(OR=1.402,95％CI:0.890-2.210,P=0.145).Conclusion Through the 4-year follow-up study of cognitively normal adults aged 40 and above in rural Xi'an,it was found that new-onset T2DM patients face a significantly elevated risk of cognitive decline,suggesting that cognitive decline may occur in the early stage of T2DM.

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction disease caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.It has com-plex pathophysiological changes,and in severe cases,it can rap-idly develop into septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction or multiple organ failure.At present,the pathological mechanism of sepsis and its induced organ dysfunction is complex and the in-fluencing factors are numerous.So far,there is still a lack of specific and effective treatment strategies.RNA modify-N6-methyladenosine(m6 A)is one of the most common post-tran-scriptional modifications on eukaryotic RNAs.It is involved in the regulation of the occurrence and development of a variety of inflammatory diseases,including sepsis,and even multiple organ dysfunction induced by sepsis by affecting the metabolism of RNAs.It includes cardiac dysfunction,acute lung injury(ALI)and acute kidney injury(AKI).Therefore,this article will dis-cuss the effect of m6A modification on the function of immune cells,and its important role in sepsis and its induced multiple or-gan dysfunction diseases by regulating inflammatory signals,py-roptosis,mitochondrial damage and ferroptosis.This will provide new therapeutic targets and strategies for the clinical prevention and treatment of sepsis and its induced multiple organ dysfunc-tion diseases.

Objective To explore the risk factors of early myocardial injury in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning(ACOP)and the effect of myocardial injury on prognosis.Methods A total of 176 patients with ACOP who were hospitalized in Changde Hospital Affiliated to Xiangya School of Medicine,Central South University from January 2020 to November 2024 were selected.According to the highest value of MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase(CK-MB)within 72h after poisoning,the patients were divided into early myocardial injury group(CK-MB ≥ 75 U/L,32 cases)and non-early myocardial injury group(CK-MB＜75 U/L,144 cases).The clinical data of two groups were collected and compared,and independent influencing factors of early myocardial injury in patients with ACOP were explored by applying the multivariate Logistic regression model.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the predictive efficacy of its risk factors for early myocardial injury.Results The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio,monocyte to lymphocyte ratio,alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase(AST),blood urea nitrogen and C-reactive protein(CRP)of patients with early myocardial injury group were significantly higher than those of non-early myocardial injury group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that both AST and CRP were independent risk factors for early myocardial injury in patients with ACOP(P＜0.05).The sensitivity of AST combined with CRP in predicting early myocardial injury in patients with ACOP was 78.1％,the specificity was 93.1％,and area under the curve was 0.931.The incidence of delayed encephalopathy in early myocardial injury group was significantly higher than that in non-early myocardial injury group(x2=19.055,P＜0.001).Conclusion AST and CRP are independent risk factors for early myocardial injury in ACOP patients,and AST combined with CRP has a certain predictive value for early myocardial injury in ACOP patients.The incidence of delayed encephalopathy was higher in patients with early myocardial injury,suggesting that myocardial injury is closely related to the poor prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the ability to diagnose, treat and manage kidney disease in Shanghai community health service centers.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey. An online questionnaire survey was conducted in November 2023 among 248 Shanghai community health service centers and 2 140 general practitioners in Shanghai. The main topics of the institutional research were the kidney disease-related inspection items that medical institutions could carry out, the kidney disease diagnosis and treatment drugs, the kidney disease grass-roots management training, the opening of kidney disease clinics and the establishment of kidney disease standard diagnosis and treatment records. The main topics of the survey of general practitioners were general information, standardized diagnosis and management measures of kidney disease, knowledge based on the diagnosis and treatment guidelines of chronic kidney disease, and difficulties in standardized management of kidney disease.Results:Among the laboratory examination items in Shanghai community health service centers, the rates of routine urine (99.60%, 247 centers), renal function (95.16%, 236 centers) and urinary microalbumin (89.11%, 229 centers) were high. Among the imaging examinations, B-ultrasound of urinary system had the highest rate (92.34%, 229 centers). The preparation rate of kidney disease drugs varied widely among the centers, and the preparation rate of Chinese drugs such as Jinshuibao, nephritis Kangfu tablet and Shenshuaining was more than 90%. Sixty-six (26.61%) community health service centers had established kidney disease clinics. The overall accuracy rate of community general practitioners was 63.81% (13 656/21 400), of which the accuracy rate for diagnosis and screening method, referral indication and emergency dialysis indication was more than 85%, but the accuracy rate for drug treatment and careful medication was low at 28.93% (1 238/4 280) and 33.22% (711/2 140), respectively. There was a willingness for Community general practitioners to provide all aspects of life guidance for patients with kidney disease, but for patients with end-stage renal disease replacement therapy, there was a preference for this to be provided by the appropriate specialist.Conclusions:The community health service centers in Shanghai has already had the basic conditions for the management of kidney disease in terms of basic examination and testing equipment, drugs, etc. The community general practitioners have a certain knowledge of kidney disease, and the drug treatment needs to be strengthened.

Local anesthetics (LAs), such as articaine (AT), exhibit limited efficacy in inflammatory environments, which constitutes a significant limitation in their clinical application within oral medicine. In our prior research, we developed AT-17, which demonstrated effective properties in chronic inflammatory conditions and appears to function as a novel oral LA that could address this challenge. In the present study, we further elucidated the beneficial effects of AT-17 in acute inflammation, particularly in oral acute inflammation, where mitochondrial-related apoptosis played a crucial role. Our findings indicated that AT-17 effectively inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nerve cell apoptosis by ameliorating mitochondrial dysfunction in vitro. This process involved the inhibition of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production and the subsequent activation of the NRF2 pathway. Most notably, improvements in mitochondria-related apoptosis were key contributors to AT-17's inhibition of voltage-gated sodium channels. Additionally, AT-17 was shown to reduce mtROS production in nerve cells through the Na⁺/NCLX/ETC signaling axis. In conclusion, we have developed a novel local anesthetic that exhibits pronounced anesthetic functionality under inflammatory conditions by enhancing mitochondria-related apoptosis. This advancement holds considerable promise for future drug development and deepening our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of action.
