In this study,a sensitive lateral flow immunoassay(LFIA)platform based on carbon dots-mesoporous silica nanocomposite(CD-MSNs)fluorescent probes was constructed for high-performance detection of inflammatory marker interleukin-6(IL-6).Green fluorescent carbon dots(CDs)were prepared by hydrothermal method with 3,9-perylenic acid and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane(APTES)as raw materials,and highly fluorescent CD-MSNs composites were then constructed by encapsulating the prepared CDs in mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSNs).Fluorescent probes were prepared by covalent coupling of CD-MSNs with IL-6 antibody.Fluorescent immunochromatographic test strips were constructed by spraying IL-6 capture antibody and goat anti-mouse IgG on nitrocellulose membrane as detection line(T-line)and quality control line(C-line),respectively.The fluorescence immunoassay analyzer was used to quantitatively detect the fluorescence intensity of T-line,and the experimental results showed that the LFIA platform based on this probe had a good linear relationship in IL-6 concentration range of 102-106 pg/mL,and the detection limit was 64 pg/mL,which was two orders of magnitude more sensitive than that of the traditional colloidal gold test strips.This method effectively solved the issue of insufficient sensitivity of traditional LFIA technique,and provided a rapid and highly sensitive detection method for early diagnosis of inflammatory diseases.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of FANG's scalp acupuncture combined with timing auricular point pressing therapy in the treatment of insomnia patients with maintenance hemodialysis(MHD).Methods A total of 70 patients with insomnia on MHD were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 35 patients in each group.Both groups were given conventional treatment,the control group was given oral use of Estazolam Tablets on the basis of conventional treatment,and the observation group was given FANG's scalp acupuncture combined with timing auricular point pressing therapy.Both groups were treated for a total of 4 weeks of treatment.After 1 month of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated,and the changes in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)score and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form(KDQOL-SF)score,as well as the scores of the Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),were observed in the patients of the two groups before and after treatment.The changes in hemoglobin(Hb),serum creatinine(Scr),and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)levels were compared before and after treatment between the two groups,and the safety of the two groups was evaluated.Results(1)After treatment,the PSQI and KDQOL-SF scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving PSQI and KDQOL-SF scores,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,the HAMD and HAMA scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving HAMD and HAMA scores,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).(3)After treatment,the Hb,Scr,BUN levels of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving Hb,Scr,BUN levels,and the differences were all statistically significant(P＜0.05).(4)The total effective rate was 77.14%(27/35)in the observation group and 62.86%(22/35)in the control group.The efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(5)Comparison of the incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups of patients,the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion FANG's scalp acupuncture combined with timing auricular point pressing therapy in the treatment of insomnia patients with MHD can effectively improve the sleep quality of patients and alleviate anxiety and depression,so as to improve the quality of life of patients,with remarkable efficacy.

ObjectiveA growing body of research suggests a strong link between metabolic imbalance and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In recent years, the development of metabolomics makes it possible to study the characteristic changes of peripheral metabolism in AD. Serum levels of tryptophan and tyrosine were associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD. The purpose of this study is to further characterize tryptophan and tyrosine levels in MCI and AD. MethodsWe stratified 765 participants from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative-1 (ADNI-1) cohort into cognitively normal (CN; n=207), stable mild cognitive impairment (sMCI; n=201), progressive mild cognitive impairment (pMCI; n=171), and dementia due to AD (n=186). Serum tryptophan and tyrosine were analyzed for diagnostic value of MCI and AD. To evaluate the relationships between serum tryptophan and tyrosine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, brain structure (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI), cerebral glucose metabolism (¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography, FDG-PET), and cognitive declines, through different cognitive subgroups. ResultsSerum tryptophan was decreased in patients with AD, pMCI or sMCI compared with CN. Serum tyrosine was decreased in patients with AD or pMCI compared with CN. Serum tryptophan has diagnostic value for pMCI and AD. Serum tyrosine has diagnostic value for AD. ConclusionSerum tryptophan and tyrosine contribute to the early diagnosis of AD. The detection of tryptophan and tyrosine can contribute to the pathogenesis of AD. Serum tryptophan and tyrosine were not significantly associated with core AD markers, cognitive function, brain structure and brain metabolism, so serum tryptophan and tyrosine may not be good peripheral AD biomarkers.

Objective To investigate the effect of Yigong San(YGS)on learning and memory abilities of rats with lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced cognitive decline and explore its possible mechanism in light of intestinal microbiota.Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into control group,model group,donepezil(1.3 mg/kg)group,and high-dose(5.25 g/kg)and low-dose(2.63 g/kg)YGS treatment groups.After 24 days of treatment with the corresponding drugs or water by gavage,the rats in the latter 4 groups received an intraperitoneal injection of LPS(0.5 mg/kg)to establish models of Alzheimer's disease(AD).Water maze test and HE staining were used to evaluate the changes in learning and memory abilities and pathomorphology of the hippocampus.The changes in gut microbial species of the rats were analyzed with 16S rRNA sequencing,and the levels of IL-6,TNF-α,and IL-1β in the brain tissue and serum were detected using ELISA.Results Compared with the AD model group,the YGS-treated rats showed significantly shortened escape latency on day 5 after modeling,reduced neuronal degeneration and necrosis in the hippocampus,lowered pathological score of cell damage,and decreased levels IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1β in the brain tissue and serum.The YGS-treated rats showed also obvious reduction of Alpha diversity indicators(ACE and Chao1)of intestinal microbiota with significantly increased abundance of Prevotellaceae species at the family level and decreased abundance of Desulfovibrionaceae,which were involved in such metabolic signaling pathways as cell community prokaryotes,membrane transport,and energy metabolism.Conclusion YGS improves learning and memory abilities and hippocampal pathomorphology in AD rat models possibly by regulating the abundance of intestinal microbial species such as Prevotellaceae to affect the metabolic pathways for signal transduction,cofactors,and vitamin metabolism.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and causes of death of patients with pneumoconiosis, and to provide evidence for the prevention and management of pneumoconiosis.Methods:From June 2022 to July 2023, 38 dead patients with pneumoconiosis confirmed by Shandong Academy of Occupational Health and Occupational Medicine were selected as the research objects. The clinical data of patients were collected through hospital information system (HIS) and laboratory information management system (LIS) to analyze the basic situation of patients with pneumoconiosis who died, the distribution of industry types, the course of disease, the nature of work, the type of reimbursement, complications/comorbidities, and the direct causes of death. Univariate analysis of variance was used to compare the course of pneumoconiosis death in patients with different age of exposure to dust.Results:Among the 38 patients with pneumoconiosis, there were 37 males and 1 female. The age of exposure to dust was 5-37 (19.29±8.17) years, the duration of disease was 5-41 (20.26±8.53) years, and the age of death was 27-86 (70.42±12.26) years old. There were 10 cases of stage Ⅰ pneumoconiosis, 18 cases of stage Ⅱ, 10 cases of stage Ⅲ pneumoconiosis and 32 cases (84.21%) of silicosis. There were 30 (78.95%) people aged ≥65 years and 8 (21.05%) people aged <65 years. The industry was mainly metal products (18 workers, 47.37%), and the distribution of work was mainly excavation workers (11 workers, 28.95%). The death course of pneumoconiosis patients with 10-<30 years of exposure to dust accounted for 76.32% (29/38). The average course of pneumoconiosis patients with 20-<30 years of exposure to dust was the longest[ (24.00±9.39) years], and there was no statistically significant difference in the average course of disease among different age of exposure to dust groups ( F=1.81, P=0.165). The working units of the deceased patients were private enterprises or factories, and the hospitalization expenses were borne by individuals for 21 people (55.26%). The working unit was a state-owned enterprise, and 17 people (44.74%) were reimbursed for hospitalization expenses and work-related injuries. The main comorbidities/complications of pneumoconiosis patients were respiratory infection in 18 cases (47.37%) and chronic pulmonary heart disease (47.37%). The top 3 direct causes of death were pneumoconiosis in 13 cases (34.21%), pulmonary infection in 10 cases (26.32%) and lung cancer in 7 cases (18.42%) . Conclusion:Most of 38 cases of pneumoconiosis patients death diseases such as multiple combination of respiratory system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system disease is a major cause of death in pneumoconiosis patients.
