Aim To explore the mechanism of Gano-derma lucidum polysaccharides(GLPS)promoting my-elin repair and regeneration in mice with chronic demy-elination induced by cuprizone(CPZ).Methods A total of 40 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups:Normal+NS,Normal+GLPS,CPZ+NS and CPZ+GLPS.A chronic demyelination model was established using 0.2％CPZ.Open field and elevated plus maze tests were performed to observe the behavior-al changes in the mice.Immunofluorescence staining and Western blot were used to detect changes in myelin basic protein expression in the corpus callosum.ELISA was performed to measure the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β and IL-10 in brain homogenates.Immunofluo-rescence staining was also used to observe the expres-sion of ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1(Iba1)and neural-glial antigen 2(NG2).RT-qPCR and Western blot were conducted to assess the mRNA and protein expression levels of MBP,iNOS,COX-2,JAK2 and STAT3.Results Mice in the CPZ+NS group showed a significant decrease in body weight,cognitive behavior abnormalities,and impaired myelin regeneration.The expression of pro-inflammatory fac-tors increased,while anti-inflammatory factors de-creased.Additionally,Iba1 and NG2 expression in-creased,and the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway was activated.After GLPS intervention,the mouse body weight increased,myelin regeneration occurred,cogni-tive behavior was improved,the expression of inflamma-tory factors decreased,anti-inflammatory factors in-creased,NG2 expression was further elevated,and the proliferation of microglia as well as the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway was inhibited.Conclu-sions GLPS can improve cognitive behavior abnormali-ties and inflammatory responses in chronic demyelinated mice by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway,thereby promoting myelin repair and regeneration.

Objective To analyze the association between lifestyle and the risk of type 2 diabetes(T2D)among adult residents.Methods The data was sourced from the Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort and Biobank.A total of 42 096 adult residents who had not developed T2D were recruited from four districts of Shanghai(Songjiang,Jiading,Minhang,and Xuhui)between 2016 and 2019.The follow-up ended on Feb 28,2023.A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on six lifestyle-related items,including smoking,alcohol consumption,BMI,waist circumference(WC),physical activity,and diet.The unhealthy lifestyle scores(UHLS)were calculated by counting the number of all the unhealthy lifestyle items,with a range of 0-6.New-onset T2D events diagnosed by physicians were obtained through the medical information system.Cox proportional hazards regression model and restricted cubic spline model were utilized to evaluate the association between unhealthy lifestyles and the risk of T2D incidence.Results About 28.1%of the participants led 4-6 unhealthy lifestyles.A total of 1 752 new T2D cases were identified during 218 513.4 person-years of follow-up.Analysis of single unhealthy lifestyle showed that abnormal WC(HR=1.5,95%CI:1.4-1.7)and abnormal BMI(HR=1.3,95%CI:1.2-1.5)were associated with an increased risk of T2D.Compared with individuals with a UHLS of 0-1,those with a UHLS of 3 and 4-6 had 30%(95%CI:1.1-1.6)and 50%(95%CI:1.2-1.8)higher risks of T2D,respectively.Each additional unhealthy lifestyle was associated with a 10%increase in T2D incidence risk(HR=1.1,95%CI:1.1-1.2).Conclusion The risk of T2D in adult residents increases with the cumulative number of unhealthy lifestyles.Adult residents with abnormal WC or BMI,or have three or more unhealthy lifestyles accumulated,will increase the risk of new-onset T2D.

Aim To explore the role and mechanism of ginsenoside Rg3 in chronic neuropathic pain.Methods The differentially expressed genes in the prefrontal cor-tex of chronic neuropathic pain were screened and ana-lyzed.The mice were randomly divided into the sham operation group,model group and drug administration group.Neuropathic pain animal model was established by chronic sciatic nerve compression injury model.Ginsenoside Rg3 was injected intraperitoneally.The changes of pain behavior in mice were recorded.HE staining,Nissl staining,Western blot and immunohisto-chemistry were used to detect nerve and mitochondrial damage in PFC brain tissue of each group.Molecular docking was used to explore the target of ginsenoside Rg3.Mito-Tracker was used to detect mitochondrial membrane potential,and ATP kit was employed to ana-lyze ATP content.Results Compared with the sham operation group,mice in the model group showed hy-peralgesia and impaired motor ability,and nerve and mitochondrial damage in PFC(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,ginsenoside Rg3 administration could increase the mechanical pain threshold,thermal foot contraction latency and stick rotation residence time of mice.At the same time,the number of inflam-matory cells,Nishi bodies and Dnm1l positive cells in PFC decreased,and the expression levels of c-Fos,IL-1β and Dnm1l protein were down-regulated(P＜0.05).Molecular docking showed that ginsenoside Rg3 could bind Dnm1l.At the cellular level,ginsen-oside Rg3 administration increased mitochondrial mem-brane potential and ATP content(P＜0.05).Conclu-sion Ginsenoside Rg3 can reduce the expression of inflammatory factors and mitochondria-related proteins in PFC,improve mitochondrial function,and relieve pain hypersensitivity in CCI mice.

Objective:To observe the role of impulsivity in cognitive impairment in manic episodes of bipolar Ⅰ disorder(BPDTI)patients.Methods:180 cases of patients with BPDTI manic episodes admitted to our hospital from February 2024 to December 2024 were selected as the manic group,and another 180 cases of volunteers who were psychologically tested as normal during the same period were selected as the healthy group.The impulse Barratt-11 scale(BIS-11)and the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Test(MCCB)were used to investigate and evaluate impulsivity and cognitive function,and correlation analysis and risk factor analysis were conducted.Results:In the BIS-11 scale,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the unplanned factor(P＞0.05),but there were significant differences compared between the two groups in cognitive,motor factors,and total score(P＜0.05).The MCCB scores of the manic group in information processing speed,working memory,word learning,visual learning,social cognition,reasoning and problem solving,and attention vigilance were significantly lower than those of the healthy group(P＜0.05).The relationship between BIS-11 total score and cognitive impulsivity factor and MCCB total score and word learning showed there were negative correlation(P＜0.05);The exercise factor in the BIS-11 scale were negatively correlated with the MCCB total score and working memory factor(P＜0.05);The unplanned factor in the BIS-11 scale showed there were negative correlation with the MCCB total score,word learning(P＜0.05),and information processing speed.BIS-11,the number of years of education was an influencing factor for BPDTI mania(P＜0.05).Conclusion:BPDTI mania patients had high impulsivity and cognitive impairment,high impulsivity and number of years of education were influencing factors for mania,high impulsivity affected cognitive function through corresponding brain regions,aggravating the condition.

Objective To explore the short-term prognosis and risk factors for in-hospital mortality in patients with fulminant myocarditis induced refractory cardiogenic shock(FM-RCS)receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(VA-ECMO)treatment,and to construct an early prognosis prediction model using relevant indicators.Methods A total of 61 FM-RCS patients treatment by VA-ECMO in the department of intensive care unit of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to February 2024,excluding 15 cases with age less than 18 years and 3 cases with ECMO treatment duration less than 24 hours,a total of 43 patients were finally included.Participants were stratified into survival(n=19)and mortality(n=24)groups according to discharge outcomes.Demographic data,chronic disease history,early laboratory indicators,left ventricular function indicators,and basic reference values of hemodynamics were systematically compared between the two groups.Variable selection was performed using LASSO regression,followed by multivariate COX regression analysis to screen independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in ECMO-treatment FM-RCS patients.A nomogram prediction model was subsequently developed using R software and validated through calibration curves,concordance index(C-index),and receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve)analysis.Results The overall survival rate of the 43 enrolled patients was 44.2%,with 19 cases in the survival group and 24 cases in the mortality group.In early laboratory indicators,the survival group exhibited significantly lower levels of initial lactic acid(Lac),24-hour Lac(Lac 24 h),24-hour MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase(CK-MB 24 h),24-hour cardiac troponin T(cTnT 24 h),24-hour total bilirubin(TBil 24 h),24-hour serum creatinine(SCr 24 h),and lactate albumin ratio(LAR)compared to the mortality group[initial Lac(mmol/L):2.7(1.3,7.6)vs.9.2(5.9,14.0),Lac 24 h(mmol/L):2.4(2.0,3.6)vs.5.4(3.3,9.2),CK-MB 24 h(U/L):58.0(28.0,115.0)vs.167.7(68.5,280.3),cTnT 24 h(μg/L):0.53(0.37,2.41)vs.3.92(3.10,8.86),TBil 24h(μmol/L):18.3(9.9,37.8)vs.40.2(24.6,67.0),SCr 24 h(μmol/L):90.63±42.49 vs.177.76±70.76,LAR:0.09(0.04,0.23)vs.0.31(0.20,0.38),all P<0.05],serum albumin(Alb)levels were significantly higher in the survival group[g/L:36.0(31.9,39.2)vs.31.7(26.4,34.4),P<0.05].The mortality group had a higher incidence of malignant arrhythmias[66.7%(16/24)vs.31.6%(6/19),P<0.05].The LASSO regression model identified four non-zero coefficient variables-Lac 24 h,CK-MB 24 h,cTnT 24 h,and SCr 24 h-which were included in the subsequent multivariate COX regression analysis.The results demonstrated that Lac 24 h[hazard ratio(HR)and 95%confidence interval(95%CI)was 1.186(1.074-1.310),P<0.001]and cTnT 24 h(HR=1.230,95%CIwas 1.078-1.404,P=0.002)were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in VA-ECMO treatment FM-RCS patients.A predictive model constructed using these two indicators showed a C-index of 0.812,area under the curve(AUC)=0.941,with 91.7%sensitivity and 94.7%specificity.Furthermore,compared to the survival group,the mortality group exhibited significantly higher incidences of acute kidney injury[91.7%(22/24)vs.36.8%(7/19)]and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy[62.5%(15/24)vs.10.5%(2/19),both P<0.05].The mortality group also required greater transfusion volumes[mL:3 800(1 420,8 515)vs.1 200(400,3 020),P<0.05],but had shorter total hospitalization durations[days:7(3,13)vs.23(20,44),P<0.05].Conclusion For FM-RCS patients receiving VA-ECMO treatment,Lac 24 h and cTnT 24 h after ECMO initiation are independent predictors of in-hospital mortality.Clinicians should be vigilant about poor prognosis in FM-RCS patients with high Lac 24 h hours(>2.5 mmol/L)and cTnT 24 hours(>3.01 μg/L)after ECMO treatment.

Aim To investigate the effect of tetrameth-ylpyrazine(TMP)on neuroinflammation after cerebral ischemia and hypoxia via mannose-binding lectin(MBL).Methods Patients diagnosed with ischaemic stroke at Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital were in-cluded in the study,and their clinicopathological data,as well as blood and urine samples,were collected with the consent of the patients and their families.Using these biological samples,differential proteins and tar-gets were identified by proteomic analysis and subse-quently verified with animal experiments.The mice were divided into the sham,dMCAO,and TMP(10,20,40 mg·kg-1)treatment groups.After seven days of drug administration,the modified neurological sever-ity score(mNSS)was used to assess the neurological function.TTC staining was used to detect the volume of cerebral infarction.Motor function was evaluated be-haviourally,and ELISA was used to detect MASP1,sC5b-9,TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1β.Western blot was used to determine the expression of relevant proteins,such as MBL2,MASP2,and C3.Results Compared with the sham group,the dMCAO group exhibited in-creased neurological impairment,which was signifi-cantly ameliorated by TMP treatment.The expression levels of MBL2,C3 and MASP2 were elevated in the dMCAO group and were reduced following TMP treat-ment.Additionally,the dMCAO group showed elevat-ed expression of inflammatory factors IL-1 β,IL-6 and TNF-α,which were then suppressed by TMP treat-ment.Conclusion TMP inhibits the inflammatory re-sponse after ischemia and hypoxia by regulating MBL,thus attenuating brain injury.

AIM:To explore the mechanism of BLJZF in the treatment of abnormal lipid metabo-lism based on network pharmacology,molecular docking andin vivo animal experiments.METHODS:TCMSP database,Swiss Target Prediction database,STITCH database and literature search were used to collect and query the chemical composition infor-mation of BLJZF and the corresponding target of drug chemical composition.Disease targets of lipid abnormalities were collected through GeneCards and OMIM databases.Metascape database was used to analyze the gene ontology function and the Kyoto Encyclopedia gene and genome pathway en-richment of common intersection targets.Cyto-scape software was used to construct the correla-tion network diagram of components and targets,so as to select major components and targets for molecular docking study.The hyperlipidemia model was induced by high fat diet,and the control group,model group,positive group and BLJZF group were set up.The serum lipid index contents of triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low lipo-protein cholesterol(LDL-C)and high lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)were detected after continuous administration for 4 weeks.The contents of oxida-tive stress index were detected:alanine amino-transferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST).The contents of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and malondialdehyde(MDA)were detected by ELI-SA.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to de-tect the pathological changes of liver tissue.RE-SULTS:A total of 25 components and 315 corre-sponding targets of BLJZF were obtained,1729 tar-gets of lipid abnormalities and 116 common tar-gets of BLJZF,among which the core targets were AKT1,TNF,IL1β,CASP3,etc.GO and KEGG enrich-ment analysis suggested that BLJZF may play a role through the lipid and atherosclerotic pathway,PI3K-Akt,AGE-RAGE in diabetic complications and other signaling pathways.Molecular docking showed that most of the core targets had high binding activity with the active ingredients.Animal experiments showed that compared with model group,TC,TG,LDL-C,ALT,AST and MDA in BLJZF group were sig-nificantly decreased,HDL-C and SOD were signifi-cantly increased,and the degree of liver fat defor-mation was reduced.CONCLUSION:BLJZF has a therapeutic effect on lipid abnormalities.It can treat lipid metabolism abnormalities through multi-component,multi-target and multi-pathway,and provide reference for subsequent drug research on BLJZF.

Aim To investigate the role of triggering receptor expressed on myeloidcells 2(TREM2)in syn-aptic plasticity induced by cocaine addiction.Methods C57BL/6J mice and Trem2 knockout mice were uti-lized in this study to evaluate the alterations in postsyn-aptic density protein 95(PSD-95)and synapsin 1(SYN1)within the cortex and hippocampus of co-caine-addicted mice by using immunological tech-niques.Results HE staining and Nissl staining showed increased neuronal damage in the hippocampus and cortex of mice after cocaine addiction.The results of immunohistochemistry and fluorescence of PSD-95 and SYN1 were consistent with the expression trend of Western blot.In the wild type mouse model,the ex-pression level of PSD-95 in the hippocampus and cortex was lower than that in the saline group,and the ex-pression of SYN1 was higher than that in the saline group.In the knockout mouse model,the expression levels of PSD-95 and SYN1 in the hippocampus and cortex were significantly higher than those in the saline group after cocaine addiction.The expression levels of PSD-95 and SYN1 in the hippocampus and cortex of cocaine knockout mice were higher than those of co-caine wild type mice.Conclusion Cocaine addiction can change the synaptic plasticity,and TREM2 plays a regulatory role in the synaptic plasticity of hippocampus and cortex in mice with cocaine injury.TREM2 is ex-pected to be a new target for studying the mechanism of cocaine addiction.
