ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4） inhibition on autophagy and oxidative stress， as well as its regulatory role and mechanism in the inflammatory response in a mouse model of gastric ulcer. MethodsSixty adult male Kunming mice were equally divided into five groups： control group， model group， model+TLR4-IN-C34 group， model+TLR4-IN-C34+3-MA group， and model+TLR4-IN-C34+H₂O₂ group. Except for the control group， all groups were administered 40 mg/kg indomethacin via gavage. Treatment groups received injections every three days， and all groups were treated for 30 days. Mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation， and gastric tissues were collected. Gastric ulcer scores were assessed， and pathological changes were evaluated via HE staining and scoring. Serum levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-6， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， advanced oxidation protein products （AOPP）， and prostaglandin E2 （PGE2）， as well as gastric tissue levels of malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， and reduced glutathione （GSH）， were measured using ELISA. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression of TLR4， microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-Ⅰ （LC3-Ⅰ），LC3-Ⅱ， autophagy-related protein 5 （Atg5）， Beclin-1， nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1）， and NAD（P）H quinone dehydrogenase 1 （NQO1） in gastric tissues. Immunofluorescence staining was used to assess LC3-Ⅱ fluorescence intensity in gastric tissues. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group exhibited upregulation of ulcer scores， HE staining scores， TLR4， IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α， and AOPP levels， and downregulation of LC3-Ⅱ fluorescence intensity， PGE2 levels， Atg5， Beclin-1， nuclear Nrf2， HO-1， NQO1 levels， and the LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio （all P < 0.05）. Compared with the model group， the model+TLR4-IN-C34 group showed downregulation of ulcer scores， HE staining scores， TLR4， IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α， and AOPP levels， and upregulation of LC3-Ⅱ fluorescence intensity， PGE2 levels， Atg5， Beclin-1， nuclear Nrf2， HO-1， NQO1 levels， and the LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio （all P < 0.05）. Compared with the model+TLR4-IN-C34 group， the model+TLR4-IN-C34+3-MA group exhibited upregulation of ulcer scores， HE staining scores， IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α， and AOPP levels， and downregulation of LC3-Ⅱ fluorescence intensity， PGE2 levels， Atg5， Beclin-1， and the LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio （all P < 0.05）. Compared with the model+TLR4-IN-C34 group， the model+TLR4-IN-C34+H₂O₂ group showed upregulation of ulcer scores， HE staining scores， IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α， and AOPP levels， and downregulation of PGE2 levels and nuclear Nrf2， HO-1， and NQO1 levels （all P < 0.05）. ConclusionInhibition of TLR4 ameliorates gastric ulcer symptoms and suppresses the inflammatory response in mice by upregulating autophagy and reducing oxidative stress.

Serotonin syndrome (SS), also known as serotonin toxicity, is a rare but life-threatening drug reaction syndrome. This case involves a 17-year-old female patient who developed tremors, fatigue, and tachycardia after taking fluoxetine combined with bupropion and tandospirone for five days. SS was highly suspected, and her symptoms improved following treatment targeted at serotonin syndrome. This case is reported to raise awareness among clinicians about the potential adverse reactions of drug combinations, the importance of early identification of SS symptoms, and precautions when prescribing combined medications to avoid serious consequences.

Objective To explore the application value in diagnosis of chronic atrophic gastritis using the magnifying endoscopy and narrow-band imaging.Methods A total of 98 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis patients was selected,and carried out the ordinary white light endoscopy,magnifying endoscopy and narrow-band imaging(ME-NBI) and pathological examination in file,followed by comparison of the results.Results The sensitivity and specificity of chronic atrophic gastritis by magnifying endoscopy and narrowband imaging mode were 74.07％ and 82.35％,respectively;which were significantly higher than that obtained by conventional endoscopy,which were 48.15％ and 64.71％ (P ＜0.05).In magnifying endoscopy and narrow-band imaging endoscopy group,60 patients were positive,which intestinal metaplasia accounted for 35％,while in conventional endoscopy group,39 patients were positive which was only 17.95％ (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Magnifying endoscopy and narrow-band imaging can improve the diagnostic accuracy of chronic atrophic gastritis.
