Objective:Explore the protective effect and mechanism of methyl badosolone (CDDO-Me) on rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods:A total of 72 SPF-grade SD rats aged 8 weeks were randomly (random number) divided into 4 groups ( n=18) using the random number table method: Sham, TBI, TBI+Vehicle, and TBI+CDDO-Me. The rat TBI model was established using the hydraulic impact head injury method. The TBI+CDDO-Me group was administered CDDO-Me (dissolved in 1% DMSO, at a dose of 10 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal injection 30 minutes after modeling, twice a day for a total of 3 days. On the third day after modeling, brain tissue was collected for pathological and water content detection after mNSS scoring. Immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the expression of nuclear factor erythroid2 related factor 2 (Nrf2); immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of ionized calcium binding adapter molecule-1(Iba-1); ELISA was used to detect the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-18 in serum; kits were used to detect the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS); Western blot was used to detect the expression of the Nrf2 pathway, B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2), and BCL-2 associated X protein (BAX). Results:(1) Compared with the Sham group, the mNSS scores and water content in the injured cortex of the TBI group rats were significantly increased (both P<0.05), and both significantly decreased after CDDO-Me intervention (both P<0.05). (2) Compared with the Sham group, the proportion of Nissl-stained injured neurons and apoptotic positive cells in the TBI group rats were significantly increased (both P<0.05), and both significantly decreased after CDDO-Me intervention (both P<0.05), accompanied by a decrease in BAX protein expression and upregulation of BCL-2 protein expression (both P<0.05). (3) Immunofluorescence and Western blot results showed that compared with the Sham group, the expression of total Nrf2, nuclear Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 proteins in the TBI group were all increased (all P<0.05), and the increase was more significant after CDDO-Me intervention (all P<0.05). (4) Immunohistochemistry and ELISA results showed that compared with the Sham group, the levels of MDA, ROS, Iba-1 in brain tissue and the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-18 in serum in the TBI group rats were all significantly increased (all P<0.05), and all significantly decreased after CDDO-Me intervention (all P<0.05). Conclusion:CDDO-Me helps to reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in TBI rats, and the mechanism may be related to the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant stress pathway.

Objective:To preliminarily explore whether sirtuin1 (SIRT1) activation can inhibit neuronal ferroptosis in rats after traumatic brain injury (TBI) by regulating hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-mediated glycolysis.Methods:(1) Six SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group and TBI group, with 3 rats in each group; TBI model in the TBI group was established by hydraulic impact method, and rats in the sham-operated group underwent same surgery without impact. Cortical tissues of the two groups were sent for tandem mass tag (TMT) labeled quantitative proteomics detection to analyze the differential expression proteome; Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were used to detect pathway enrichment of the screened differential proteins. (2) Twelve SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group and 1-day, 3-day and 7-day post-TBI groups, with 3 rats in each group. Treatment methods were the same as above; Western blotting was used to detect SIRT1 protein expression. (3) Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group, TBI group, TBI+vehicle group and TBI+SIRT1 agonist group, with 12 rats in each group; rats in the sham-operated group and TBI group accepted treatment as above; rats in the TBI+SIRT1 agonist group were intraperitoneally injected with SRT1720 (dissolved in ≤ 5% dimethyl sulfoxide, at a dose of 20 mg/kg) within 30 minutes after modeling, twice a day (with an interval of 12 hours); and rats in the TBI+vehicle group were injected with same dose of dimethyl sulfoxide at the same time. One d after modeling, neurological deficit was assessed using modified Neurological severity score (mNSS), brain water content was measured by dry-wet weight method, histopathological changes in the cortical lesions were observed by HE staining, mitochondrial ultrastructure was examined by transmission electron microscopy, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the brain tissues were detected by colorimetry, and protein expressions of SIRT1, HIF-1α (key protein in the glycolytic pathway), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4, key protein in the ferroptosis pathway), and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4, key protein in the ferroptosis pathway) were evaluated by Western blotting.Results:(1) KEGG analysis revealed that the glycolysis pathway and HIF-1 signaling pathway were obviously enriched in the cortical tissues of rats in the TBI group compared with the sham-operated group; GSEA showed that the HIF-1 signaling pathway (mmu04066) and ferroptosis pathway (mmu04216) gene sets in the cortical tissues of rats in the TBI group exhibited enrichment trends compared with those in the sham-operated group. (2) Compared with the sham-operated group, the 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day post-TBI groups had significantly decreased SIRT1 protein expression ( P<0.05), with the most prominent decline in 1-day post-TBI group. (3) Compared with the TBI+vehicle group, rats in the TBI+SIRT1 agonist group showed significantly reduced mNSS score and brain tissue water content (9.83±1.17 vs. 7.66±1.21; [83.62±0.91]% vs. [80.09±0.68]%, P<0.05). HE staining indicated clearer structure of the cortical area at the injury sites, and improved neuron morphology in the TBI+SIRT1 agonist group compared with those in the TBI+vehicle group; and transmission electron microscopy showed reduced mitochondrial shrinkage and partial restoration of cristae structures in the TBI+SIRT1 agonist group compared with those in the TBI+vehicle group. Compared with the TBI+vehicle group, the TBI+SIRT1 agonist group exhibited significantly decreased MDA content ([62.72±9.20] nmol/g vs. [39.34±3.48] nmol/g), increased SOD activity ([1.95±0.23] U/mg vs. [2.48±0.14] U/mg), elevated GPX4 protein expression (0.37±0.04 vs. 0.46±0.03), and decreased HIF-1α and ACSL4 protein expressions (1.16±0.15 vs. 0.81±0.12; 1.14±0.06 vs. 1.29±0.04), with significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SIRT1 activation can exert neuroprotective effect by inhibiting HIF-1α-mediated glycolysis and reducing neuronal ferroptosis after TBI.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of non-anticoagulation veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(VV-ECMO)in patients with severe chest trauma.Methods A retrospective cohort study method was used.A total of 19 patients with severe chest trauma who received VV-ECMO with a delayed anticoagulation strategy at Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to October 2021 were included in the delayed anticoagulation group,and 20 patients with severe chest trauma who received VV-ECMO with a non-anticoagulation strategy from November 2021 to October 2024 were included in the non-anticoagulation group.The overall clinical characteristics of the patients were statistically analyzed,including gender,age,injury severity score(ISS),acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ),reason for VV-ECMO,use of vasoactive drugs,oxygenation index(PaO2/FiO2),and interval from injury to VV-ECMO.The primary outcomes were hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications.The secondary outcomes were blood transfusion during VV-ECMO,VV-ECMO time,mechanical ventilation time,intensive care unit(ICU)length of stay,and 28-day mortality.Results There was no significant difference in gender,age,ISS score,APACHEⅡscore,reason for VV-ECMO,use of vasoactive drugs,PaO2/FiO2,and interval from injury to VV-ECMO between the non-anticoagulation group and the delayed anticoagulation group.There was no significant difference in overall incidence of hemorrhagic and thrombotic between the two groups[incidence of hemorrhagic complications:15.0%(3/20)vs.31.6%(6/19),incidence of thrombotic:15.0%(3/20)vs.5.3%(1/19),both P>0.05].The infusion rate of 4 or more paked red blood cell(PRBC)within 24 hours during VV-ECMO in the non-anticoagulation group was significantly lower than that in the delayed anticoagulation group[5.0%(1/20)vs.31.6%(6/19),P<0.05].The amount of PRBC and platelet transfusion and the time on VV-ECMO in the non-anticoagulation group during VV-ECMO were significantly lower than those in the delayed anticoagulation group[PRBC(U):5.8±3.8 vs.8.1±3.1,platelets(U):1(0,1)vs.2(1,3),time on VV-ECMO(hours):71.55±24.37 vs.114.21±34.08,all P<0.05].There were no statistically significant differences in the amount of plasma and cryoprecipitate transfusion during VV-ECMO,mechanical ventilation time,ICU hospitalization time,and 28-day mortality between the two groups.Conclusion For patients with severe chest trauma receiving VV-ECMO withholding routine systemic anticoagulation did not result in thrombotic complications or higher mortality and required less PRBC and platelet transfusions.Non-anticoagulant VV-ECMO is safe and feasible for patients with severe chest trauma with high risk of bleeding.

Emerging evidences have indicated the role of ferroptosis in the progression of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD); thus, inhibiting ferroptosis is a promising strategy for the development of MAFLD therapeutics. Recent studies have demonstrated the antioxidative effect of the gut commensal bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muc); however, whether it can alleviate ferroptosis remains unclear. The current study indicates A. muc intervention efficiently reversed high-fat high-fructose diet (HFHFD)-induced lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis in the liver. These beneficial effects were mediated by activation of the hepatic AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α axis, as evidenced by the finding that AMPK deficiency abrogated the amelioration of lipid peroxidation in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were enriched upon A. muc treatment, and acetate was identified as a key activator of hepatic AMPK signalling. Mechanistically, microbiota-derived acetate was transported to the liver and metabolized to adenosine monophosphate (AMP), which triggered AMPK activation. Furthermore, a colonization assay in germ-free mice confirmed that A. muc mediated antiferroptotic effects in the absence of other microbes. These data indicated that A. muc exerts antiferroptotic effects against MAFLD, at least partially by producing acetate, which activates the hepatic AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α axis to alleviate ferroptosis via the inhibition of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthesis.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous colistin sulfate combined with nebulized inhalation versus intravenous monotherapy for pulmonary infections caused by carbapenem-resistant organism (CRO). METHODS: A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data were collected from patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of 10 tertiary class-A hospitals in Henan Province between July 2021 and May 2023, who received colistin sulfate for CRO pulmonary infections. Data included baseline characteristics, inflammatory markers [white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count (NEU), procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP)], renal function indicators [serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN)], life support measures, anti-infection regimens, clinical efficacy, microbiological clearance rate, and prognostic outcomes. Patients were divided into two groups: intravenous group (colistin sulfate monotherapy via intravenous infusion) and combination group ((intravenous infusion combined with nebulized inhalation of colistin sulfate). Changes in parameters before and after treatment were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 137 patients with CRO pulmonary infections were enrolled, including 89 in the intravenous group and 48 in the combination group. Baseline characteristics, life support measures, daily colistin dose, and combination regimens (most commonly colistin sulfate plus carbapenems in both groups) showed no significant differences between two groups. The combination group exhibited higher clinical efficacy [77.1% (37/48) vs. 59.6% (52/89)] and microbiological clearance rate [60.4% (29/48) vs. 39.3% (35/89)], both P < 0.05. Pre-treatment inflammatory and renal parameters showed no significant differences between two groups. Post-treatment, the combination group showed significantly lower WBC and CRP [WBC (×10⁹/L): 8.2±0.5 vs. 10.9±0.6, CRP (mg/L): 14.0 (5.7, 26.6) vs. 52.1 (24.4, 109.6), both P < 0.05], whereas NEU, PCT, SCr, and BUN levels showed no significant between two groups. ICU length of stay was shorter in the combination group [days: 16 (10, 25) vs. 21 (14, 29), P < 0.05], although mechanical ventilation duration and total hospitalization showed no significant differences between two groups. CONCLUSIONS Intravenous colistin sulfate combined with nebulized inhalation improved clinical efficacy and microbiological clearance in CRO pulmonary infections with an acceptable safety profile.

Objective:To construct a risk prediction model for early post-injury respiratory failure in patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (TCSCI) and validate its efficacy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 393 TCSCI patients admitted to Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to October 2024, including 294 males and 99 females, aged 18-82 years [59(45, 72)years]. Among them, 76 patients had respiratory failure (19.3%). The patients were randomly divided into the training set ( n=275) and validation set ( n=118) at a ratio of 7∶3. According to the presence of respiratory failure within one week after admission, 275 patients in the training set were divided into respiratory failure group ( n=53) and non-respiratory failure group ( n=222). The demographic data, injury characteristics, laboratory test results, and imaging findings of the patients were collected. Risk factors were determined through univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis and a nomogram prediction model was constructed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and Hosmer-Lemeshow test were used to evaluate the discrimination and calibration of the model. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was plotted to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the prediction model. Results:The results of the univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in history of respiratory diseases, causes of injury, Glasgow coma scale (GCS), American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) classification, ASIA-motor score (AMS), injury severity score (ISS), clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS), hypoproteinemia and cervical vertebra fracture and dislocation between the respiratory failure group and non-respiratory failure group in the training set ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that GCS, ASIA classification, CPIS, and hypoproteinemia were independent risk factors for early post-injury respiratory failure in TCSCI patients ( P<0.05). Based on the above four variables, a Logistic regression equation was constructed: Logit( P)=2.361-0.675×ASIA classification+0.419×CPIS-0.358×GCS+0.854×hypoproteinemia. In the prediction model established based on this equation, the AUC was 0.96 (95% CI 0.94, 0.99) in the training set and 0.89 (95% CI 0.82, 0.96) in the validation set. In the calibration curves of the training set and validation set, the prediction curve and reference curve were approximately overlapping, with the average absolute errors of 0.04 and 0.03. DCA results demonstrated that both the training and validation sets exhibited positive net benefits when threshold probabilities fell within ranges of 0%-78% and 0%-87%, respectively. Conclusion:The risk prediction model for early post-injury respiratory failure in TCSCI patients based on GCS, ASIA classification, CPIS and hypoproteinemia has good predictive efficacy and clinical practicability.

Vascular injury caused by trauma is not uncommon in clinic, which may lead to traumatic coagulopathy, ischemic necrosis of limbs, amputation or death due to hemorrhagic shock, which is obviously related to adverse outcomes. A 53-year-old male patient with severe impact injury in our department was retrospectively analyzed. Crushing injury resulted in femoral artery disconnection of lower limbs, which led to ischemia and traumatic coagulopathy of lower limbs. A blood transfusion device was used to make a shunt for emergency temporary vascular bypass, during which he experienced coagulation disorder, rhabdomyolysis, osteofascial compartment syndrome and wound infection. By supplementing coagulation substrate, correcting coagulation function, strengthening anti-infection, reducing muscle tension through incision and multiple debridement operations, the diagnosis and treatment process of one limb was preserved. For traumatic vascular injuries, especially blunt injuries, early detection, early intervention and early treatment, and timely adjustment of surgical strategies can avoid limb ischemia and necrosis and reduce adverse outcomes.
