Objective To explore the differences in therapeutic efficacy and possible mechanism of different routes of administration of fullerene nanoparticles in the treatment of radiation retinopathy.Methods Eight-week-old adult male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group(Control),irradiation group(X-Ray),irradiation+vitreous cavity administration group[X+F(IVT)],irradiation+ocular surface administration group[X+F(OS)],and irradiation+intravenous administration group[X+F(IV)],with 5 rats in each group.The blank group was not treated,the irradiation groups exposed to X-ray irradiation to establish the model,and fullerenol nanoparticles were given to the treatment groups through different routes after irradiation.At 7,14,and 28 d after modeling,body weight and fundus changes were measured to evaluate drug safety,retinal optical coherence tomography(OCT)was used to observe the change in retinal tissue structure,and electroretinography(ERG)was applied for oscillatory potentials(OPs)to evaluate visual function.CD31 immunofluorescence staining was carried out to evaluate retinal endothelial vascular status,and in vivo imaging was utilized to evaluate the accumulation of fullerenol nanoparticles in the eyes.Results The growth curves of body weight demonstrated that fullerenol nanoparticles did not affect the growth and development of rats,with no statistical difference between the treatment groups and the control group.Irradiation resulted in a significant reduction in visual function,decreased amplitudes of a-wave and b-wave,and declined OPs(P<0.01),and significantly increased thicknesses of the ganglion cell layer(GCL)and the inner nuclear layer(INL)in the retinas,as evidenced by OCT(P<0.01),along with a notably absent presence of CD31-positive cells(P<0.01).Notably,the X+F(IVT)group obtained significantly improved visual function after intravitreal administration,effectively maintained thickness of the GCL and INL,and prevention against the loss of CD31-positive cells(P<0.01).However,no such effective results were observed in the irradiated groups receiving intravenous either ocular surface administration.In vivo imaging revealed that intravitreal administration maintained high ocular accumulation of fullerene for 96 h,while ocular surface administration sustained these concentrations for only 12 h.Intravenous administration,in contrast,only led to a predominant drug distribution in vascular-rich areas,but reduced ocular accumulation.Conclusion Fullerene nanoparticles possess a therapeutic effect on radiation retinopathy,and the intravitreal administration route demonstrates better efficacy than ocular surface and intravenous administration.

Journal of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2025;42(9):2288-2294
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of cinnamaldehyde(CA)on hepatic fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)rats.Methods A NAFLD rat model was established using a high-fat diet.Successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into:model group,low-and high-dose CA groups,and high-dose CA+K6PC-5[a sphingosine kinase-1(SphK1)activator]group,with healthy rats as normal controls.After intervention,serum lipid profiles[total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)]and liver function markers[alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)]were measured using an automated biochemical analyzer.Serum inflammatory cytokines(TNF-α,IL-6,IFN-γ)were quantified by ELISA.Hepatic histopathology was evaluated via hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Masson staining.Immunohistochemistry detected fibrosis-related proteins(COL1A1,α-SMA),while Western Blot analyzed SphK1 and sphingosine-1-phosphate(S1P)expression.Results Compared with the normal group,the model group showed significant destruction of hepatic lobule structure,hepatocyte swelling and degeneration,disordered cell arrangement,abundant lipid vacuoles in cytoplasm,obvious inflammatory cell infiltration,extensive blue collagen fiber deposition,and severe fibrosis.Moreover,the levels of TC,TG,LDL-C,ALT,AST,TNF-α,IL-6,IFN-γ,COL1A1,α-SMA,SphK1,and S1P were significantly increased,while HDL-C levels were decreased,with statistically significance(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,both low-and high-dose CA groups demonstrated alleviated liver histopathological changes,reduced blue collagen fiber deposition,and improved fibrosis.These groups also showed significantly decreased levels of TC,TG,LDL-C,ALT,AST,TNF-α,IL-6,IFN-γ,COL1A1,α-SMA,SphK1,and S1P,along with increased HDL-C levels(P<0.05).However,compared with the high-dose CA group,the high-dose CA+K6PC-5 group exhibited more severe destruction of hepatic lobule structure,aggravated hepatocyte swelling and degeneration,dramatically increased cytoplasmic lipid vacuoles,significant inflammatory cell infiltration,increased blue collagen fiber deposition,and worsened fibrosis.This group also had significantly elevated levels of TC,TG,LDL-C,ALT,AST,TNF-α,IL-6,IFN-γ,COL1A1,α-SMA,SphK1,and S1P,along with reduced HDL-C levels(P<0.05).Conclusion CA alleviates hepatic fibrosis in NAFLD rats by inhibiting the SphK1/S1P signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the application value of the combination of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and work breakdown structure (WBS) on management of telemetry monitoring system. Methods:Seven sets of used telemetry monitoring systems in Huzhou Third People's Hospital from March 2022 to April 2024 were selected. The routine mode was used to manage the telemetry monitoring systems from March 2022 to February 2023,and the management mode of telemetry monitoring systems based on FMEA and WBS was adopted to manage the telemetry monitoring systems from May 2023 to April 2024. FMEA method was used to analyze the quantitative risk scores of various failures in 1740 uses of the telemetry monitoring system from March 2022 to February 2023,and the fault type was represented by Fx. According to the risk quantification score,the top 5 failure types included poor radio frequency (RF) signal (F2),larger pseudo-interference (F3) of electrocardiogram (ECG),abnormal measurement of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) (F6),excessive movement and mistake touch (F8) of patients,and identification (ID) number error (F9) of telemetry emission box. WBS quality management method combined with tree chart,countermeasure fishbone chart,task assignment matrix and other tools were performed to conduct the setting of expected objectives,countermeasure analysis,task formulation and work implementation of management of telemetry monitoring system. The above indicators were compared with the changes of the top 5 failure risk grading and incidence of failure in 1850 uses of management of telemetry monitoring system from May 2023 to April 2024. Results:After the telemetry monitoring system was used to conduct management,the risk grading of the F2,F3,F6,F8 and F9 failures with highest risk grading reduced respectively to low grade,middle grade,middle grade,low grade and middle grade. At the same time,the number of F2,F3,F6,F8,F9 failures with the highest risk grading and total failures were respectively 91,89,39,45,39 and 478 times,and the incidence rates of them were 4.92%,4.81%,2.11%,2.43%,2.11% and 25.84%,which were significantly lower than those of adopting conventional management methods. The differences of them between two methods were statistically significant (x2=2.125,6.911,9.099,2.261,2.431,32.491,P<0.05). Conclusion:The management of combined quality management method of FMEA and WBS for telemetry monitoring system can reduce risk grading and incidence rate of equipment failure,and ensure the safety of equipment in clinical use.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect mechanism of Eucommia ulmoides on improving postpartum depression in rats. METHODS Pregnant rats were randomly divided into normal group, postpartum depression group, and low-dose and high-dose groups of E. ulmoides (1.34, 2.68 g/kg, calculated by crude drug), with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, the rats in other groups suffered from fear stress to induce postpartum depression model during pregnancy; at the same time of modeling, the administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically, while the normal group and postpartum depression group were given physiological saline intragastrically for 21 days. Postpartum behaviors of rats during the experiment were assessed using the open field test, Morris water maze test and sucrose preference test. Additionally, the levels of corticosterone (CORT) in serum, corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) and urocortin (UCN) in hypothalamus, and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in hypophysis were detected; meanwhile, the protein expressions of CRF receptor 1 (CRFR1), CRFR2, and voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) in hippocampal tissue were measured; the proportions of apoptotic cells and JC-1 high potential cells in hippocampal tissue were determined, and the morphology of hippocampal tissue was observed. RESULTS Compared with postpartum depression group, the high-dose group of E. ulmoides showed improvements in appetite, mental state, and hair color in rats; their body weight had increased; the scores of vertical movement, horizontal movement and self-sorting significantly increased; from the 2ed to 4th day avoidance latency significantly shortened, and the times of crossing the platform and the time of crossing the platform Δ 基金项目国家自然科学基金青年基金项目(No.82204789) significantly increased/prolonged (P<0.05); the ratio of glucose and water consumption significantly increased at 20 days of pregnancy and 30 days postpartum (P<0.05); the levels of CRF, UCN, ACTH and CORT, phagocytic rate, protein expressions of CRFR2 and VDAC1, and the proportion of apoptosis cells in hippocampal tissue were decreased significantly (P<0.05); the proportion of JC-1 high potential cells significantly increased (P<0.05), and the phenomenon of edema around neuronal cells was significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS E. ulmoides can improve postpartum depression by inhibiting excessive activation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, decreasing the expression of CRFR2, thereby inhibiting the expression of VDAC1, and decreasing the apoptosis of neuronal cells.
