Objective: To detect the different proteomic characteristics of microvesicles (MVs) and exosomes (EXOs) released from apheresis platelets during storage, and to explore their role in mediating platelet storage damage lesion (PSL). Methods: Apheresis platelets were collected from the retention bag on the third day of storage. MVs and EXOs were isolated using differential centrifugation. Platelet, MVs and EXOs protein samples were extracted respectively, and the differentially expressed proteins were detected by quantitative proteomics technology. Further, the co-incubation model of MVs, EXOs and fresh platelets was adopted to evaluate the effect of extracellular vesicles on PSL. The aggregation response of platelets to collagen agonizers and the changes in ATP release rate were evaluated by optical turbidimetry. Flow cytometry was used to evaluate the changes of platelet early activation indicators (P-selectin and PAC-1) and mitochondrial membrane potentia. Western blot was used to detect the changes in the expression of key proteins for platelet activation and apoptosis (P-selectin, Integrin β3 and Bcl-xl). Results: Proteomic analysis revealed a significantly separation in protein expression profiles of platelet, MVs and EXOs samples within the latent variable space. Energy metabolization-related proteins such as mitochondrial respiratory chain complex and oxidative phosphorylation were enriched specifically, in MVs while EXOs were enriched with inflammation-related proteins. Co-incubation experiments confirmed that extracellular vesicles could significantly induce platelet responses to agonists (the maximum aggregation rate in the MVs group increased by 187.36%, P<0.001; 71.26%, in the EXOs group P=0.002). The maximum ATP release rate of platelets also increased (275.44% in the MVs group, P<0.001; 70.18% in the EXOs group, P=0.015). The expression of P-selectin increased (119.33% in the MVs group, P<0.001; 25.61% in the EXOs group, P=0.013), as detected by flow cytometry. The binding rate of PAC-1 increased (132.18% in MVs group, P<0.001; 21.41% in EXOs group, P=0.043), and the mitochondrial membrane potential decreased (20.49% in MVs group, P<0.001; 9.73% in EXOs group, P=0.044). In the MVs group, platelet P-selectin and Integrin β3 expression were significantly increased (100.83% and 395.64%, P<0.001), while Bcl-xl expression was lower than that in the control group (83.94%, P<0.001). Compared with the control group, P-selectin and Integrin β3 expression were also increased (27.89% and 181.91%, P=0.007和P=0.002), while Bcl-xl was decreased in the EXOs group (36.52%, P<0.001). Conclusion: MVs and EXOs derived from stored platelets show different proteomic characteristics. Compared with EXOs, MVs exhibits a stronger effect in inducing mitochondrial dysfunction. Mvs also promots PSL responses including platelet activation and apoptosis.

Widespread utilization of glyphosate has led to environmental residues,posing potential threats to ecological systems and human health.Traditional methods for detection of glyphosate are limited by specialized equipment and operational techniques,resulting in inefficient responses.Therefore,it is urgent to develop a convenient,sensitive and accurate detection method for detection of glyphosate.Herein,a new naphthalenesulfonamide-based"Turn-on"fluorescent probe was synthesized using 2-chloroaniline and dansyl chloride as raw materials through a one-step process,which showed a good linear relationship between the glyphosate concentration in concentration range of 0.003-70 μmol/L and the fluorescence intensity(R2=0.995),with a detection limit of 2.73 nmol/L(S/N=3).Analytical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry(HRMS)were used to investigate the interaction mechanism between the fluorescent probe and glyphosate.The results indicated that a nucleophilic substitution reaction occurred between the probe and the secondary amine(—NH—)of glyphosate,inducing a photoinduced electron transfer(PET)effect which enhanced the fluorescence intensity by 11.2 times.The probe showed good anti-interference ability towards coexisting metal ions,anions and pesticides in water.When applied to determination of glyphosate in the samples such as tap water,river water(Xiangxi River Reservoir),soil,soybeans,and corn,the spiking recoveries ranged from 94.7%to 109.9%,demonstrating the high accuracy and broad applicability of this detection method.A portable test strip based on this fluorescent probe was developed for rapid semi-quantitative analysis of glyphosate.The developed method was rapid,sensitive,and portable,providing theoretical and technical support for on-site measurement of environmental contaminants.

Introducing fingerprint level 3 features(especially sweat pores)in fingerprint recognition can significantly improve the value of fingerprints.However,conventional fingerprint visualization methods suffer from issues such as poor stability and reproducibility,insufficient resolution,and feature masking in detecting level 3 features.Electrospun membrane has unique advantages in latent fingerprint(LFP)detection due to its excellent adsorption performance and high specific surface area,and thus its application potential in LFP visualization urgently need to be explored.A novel pore visualization method based on core-shell structured PAN-Flu/PVP composite nanofibrous membrane was proposed in this work.Specifically,the PAN-Flu/PVP composite nanofibrous membrane was prepared via coaxial electrospinning technology,with polyacrylonitrile(PAN)loaded with fluorescein(Flu)as the core and polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)as the shell.The experimental results showed that the prepared PAN Flu/PVP composite nanofibrous membrane had a porous structure and excellent adsorption performance.Based on the water solubility of the outer shell PVP and the water induced fluorescence enhancement effect of the core Flu,high-resolution visualization of sweat pores could be achieved within 2 s.The optimization experiment showed that the best quality of sweat latent fingerprints was obtained when the Flu content was 4 mg/mL,the spinning time was 1 h,and the sweating time was 2 min.Through repeated fingerprinting and live fingerprint comparison experiment,the strong stability and high reproducibility of the as-produced membrane in displaying fingerprint sweat pores were finally verified.In summary,the development method could quickly,stably and accurately extract the spatial distribution and activity level of fingerprint sweat pores,which was of great significance for improving the utilization and value of fingerprints.

ObjectiveTo explore the regulatory effect and mechanism of Danggui Shaoyaosan combined with Yinchenhaotang on lipid metabolism in the mouse model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) based on network pharmacology and animal experiments. MethodsTwenty-four MKR transgenic diabetic mice were randomly allocated into 4 groups: Model, low-dose (12.6 g·kg-1) Chinese medicine (concentrated decoction of Danggui Shaoyaosan combined with Yinchenhaotang), high-dose (25.2 g·kg-1) Chinese medicine, and Western medicine (metformin, 0.065 g·kg-1). Six FVB mice were used as the normal group. All groups were treated for 6 consecutive weeks. The mice in the drug treatment groups were administrated with corresponding agents by gavage, and those in the normal group and model group received the same volume of distilled water. Fasting blood glucose, body weight, liver weight, glucose tolerance, liver function indicators, blood lipid levels, and pathological changes in the liver were evaluated for each group. Network pharmacology was employed to analyze the targets and pathways of Danggui Shaoyaosan combined with Yinchenhaotang in the treatment of T2DM complicated with MASLD. Molecular biological techniques were used to verify the enriched key targets. ResultsCompared with the model group, each treatment group showed reduced fasting blood glucose, body weight, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and liver weight (P<0.01). The high-dose Chinese medicine group was superior to the low-dose group in reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL), increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and recovering glucose tolerance (AUC) and ALT (P<0.05), with the effect similar to that of the Western medicine group. Morphologically, Chinese medicine groups showed reduced lipid accumulation and alleviated pathological damage in the liver tissue, with the high-dose group demonstrating more significant changes. Network pharmacology results showed that Danggui Shaoyaosan combined with Yinchenhaotang may exert therapeutic effects through multiple targets such as fatty acid synthase (FAS), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), MYC oncogene (MYC), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Western blot showed that compared with the model group, the treatment groups demonstrated down-regulated protein levels of FAS and ACC (P<0.01) and up-regulated protein levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) and UCP1 (P<0.01). Compared with the low-dose Chinese medicine group, the high-dose Chinese medicine group exhibited down-regulated protein levels of FAS and ACC and up-regulated protein levels of PGC-1α and UCP1 (P<0.05). ConclusionDanggui Shaoyaosan combined with Yinchenhaotang has the effect of ameliorating T2DM complicated with MASLD and can improve the liver lipid metabolism by up-regulating the protein levels of Fas and ACC and down-regulating the protein levels of PGC-1α and UCP1.
