Aim To investigate the preventive and therapeutic effects of the mfat-1 gene therapy on exper-imental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice.Meth-ods mfat-1 gene therapy was used to render the host endogenous capability of producing ω-3 PUFAs,con-comitantly reduce the levels of ω-6 PUFAs,and change the proportion of ω-3/ω-6 PUFAs.Then,the levels of PUFAs in blood were analyzed by gas chromatography.The neurological deficits in mice were evaluated by neurological dysfunction score.HE staining and LFB staining of mouse spinal cord slices were used to ob-serve central nervous system inflammation infiltration and demyelinating lesions.Flow cytometry microsphere microarray technology was used to detect the content of cytokines in serum.Results The mfat-1 gene therapy could significantly raise the proportion of ω-3/ω-6 PU-FAs(P<0.05),markedly delay the incubation period and peak period and reduce neurological dysfunction scores(P<0.05),and improve inflammation and de-myelination of spinal cords(P<0.05).It could also greatly increase the levels of IL-2,IFN-γ,IL-4 and IL-17 in serum(P<0.05).Conclusion The pro-portion of ω-3/ω-6 PUFAs in blood circulation en-hanced by mfat-1 gene therapy can effectively prevent and treat experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice.

Objective With the widespread of transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis(AS),the life-cycle management has become a major determinant of prognosis.Methods A total of 408 AS patients who underwent successfully TAVR from June 2021 to August 2023 were consecutively enrolled in Hospital Valve Intervention Center.Patients were assigned to the Usual Care(UC)group between June 2021 and October 2022,while patients were assigned to the Heart Multi-parameter Monitoring(HMM)group between November 2022 and August 2023.The primary endpoint was defined as composite endpoint within 6 months post-TAVR,including all-cause death,cardiovascular death,stroke/transient ischemic attack,conduction block,myocardial infarction,heart failure rehospitalization,and major bleeding events.Secondary endpoints were the time interval(in hours)from event occurrence to medical consultation or advice and patient satisfaction.Statistical analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models.Results The incidence of primary endpoint in HMM group was significantly lower than that in UC group(8.9%vs.17.7%,P=0.016),the driving event was the rate of diagnosis and recognition of conduction block.The average time intervals from event occurrence to receiving medical advice were 3.02 h in HHM group vs.97.09 h in UC group(P<0.001).Using cardiac monitoring devices and smart healthcare platforms provided significant improving in patients long-term management(HR 0.439,95%CI 0.244-0.790,P=0.006).Conclusions The utilization of cardiac monitoring devices and smart healthcare platforms effectively alerted clinical events and improved postoperative quality of life during long-term management post TAVR.

Aim To investigate the role of metabolites of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in promoting the transdifferentiation of pancreatic α cells to β cells. Methods Male C57BL/6J mice were injected intraperitoneally with 60 mg/kg streptozocin (STZ) for five consecutive days to establish a type 1 diabetes (T1DM) mouse model. After two weeks, they were randomly divided into model groups and 97% EPA diet intervention group, 75% fish oil (50% EPA +25% DHA) diet intervention group, and random blood glucose was detected every week; after the model expired, the regeneration of pancreatic β cells in mouse pancreas was observed by immunofluorescence staining. The islets of mice (obtained by crossing GCG

Objective Explore the impact of long-term blood glucose fluctuations and blood glucose control on the stroke incidence in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods An observa-tional cohort of patients with T2DM was established based on"Shanghai Community Chronic Disease Health Management Service Objects"on October 1st,2018.Follow-ups were conducted every three months,and fasting blood glucose(FBG)were tested at each visit.Basic epidemiological data were collected via the Shanghai Community Health Management Information Platform or survey questionnaires,and stroke incidents were gathered via the"Shanghai Cardio-Cerebrovascular Event Monitoring System".The first reported stroke incident within the observation period was considered.The observational deadline was December 31st,2021.Standard deviation of FBG was used to evaluate blood glucose fluctuation and FBG control rate was used to reflect blood glucose control status.Cox Proportional Hazards Model was utilized to analyze the impacts.Results The cumulative observation time was 91,826.1 person-years for the study,in which there were 1785 cases of stroke events observed,implying a cumulative incidence of 5.73%and incidence rate of 1943.9/100000 person-years.The mean number of follow-ups(10.29±3.07)per patient was recorded.The details of the stroke cases were as follows:transient ischemic attacks(n=111,6.22%),non-lacunar brain infarctions(n=754,42.24%),lacunar brain infarctions(n=798,44.71%),intracerebral hemorrhages(n=80,4.48%),non-intracerebral hemorrhages(n=8,0.45%),subarachnoid hemorrhages(n=12,0.67%),and unclassified strokes(n=22,1.23%).After excluding subjects with less than five follow-ups,the Cox Proportional Hazards Model suggested that increased standard deviation of FBG was an independent risk factor for the first stroke incident,and an increased blood glucose control rate was an independent protective factor.Both the standard deviation of FBG and the blood glucose control rate were not correlated with stroke recurrence.Conclusion Long-term blood glucose fluctuations and blood glucose control can predict the risk of a first stroke in patients with T2DM.The relationship between blood glucose fluctuations,blood glucose management,and stroke recurrence requires further studies.

G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 40, as one of GPRs family, plays a potential role in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism. To study the effect of GPR40 novel agonist SZZ15-11 on hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia and its potential mechanism, spontaneous type 2 diabetic KKAy mice, human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells and murine mature adipocyte 3T3-L1 cells were used. KKAy mice were divided into four groups, vehicle group, TAK group, SZZ (50 mg·kg-1) group and SZZ (100 mg·kg-1) group, with oral gavage of 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), 50 mg·kg-1 TAK875, 50 and 100 mg·kg-1 SZZ15-11 respectively for 45 days. Fasting blood glucose, blood triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC), non-fasting blood glucose were tested. Oral glucose tolerance test and insulin tolerance test were executed. Blood insulin and glucagon were measured
