This study aims to explore whether Naoxintong Capsules improve multiple cerebral infarctions and myocardial injury via promoting angiogenesis, thereby exerting a simultaneous treatment effect on both the brain and heart. Male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: sham-operated group, model group, high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose groups of Naoxintong Capsules(440, 220, and 110 mg·kg~(-1)), and nimodipine group(10.8 mg·kg~(-1)). Rat models of multiple cerebral infarctions were established by injecting autologous thrombus, and samples were collected and tested seven days after modeling. Evaluations included multiple cerebral infarction model assessments, neurological function scores, grip strength tests, and rotarod tests, so as to evaluate neuromotor functions. Morphological structures of brain and heart tissue were observed using hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining, Nissl staining, and Masson staining. Network pharmacology was employed to screen the mechanisms of Naoxintong Capsules in improving multiple cerebral infarctions and myocardial injury. Neuronal and myocardial cell ultrastructures were observed using transmission electron microscopy. Apoptosis rate in brain neuronal cells was detected by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) staining, and reactive oxygen species(ROS) levels in myocardial cells were measured. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1(CD31), antigen identified by monoclonal antibody Ki67(Ki67), hematopoietic progenitor cell antigen CD34(CD34), and hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) in brain and myocardial tissue. Western blot, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR) were used to detect the expression of HIF-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGFR2), sarcoma(Src), basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF), angiopoietin-1(Ang-1), and TEK receptor tyrosine kinase(Tie-2). Compared with the model group, the medium-dose group of Naoxintong Capsules showed significantly lower neurological function scores, increased grip strength, and prolonged time on the rotarod. Pathological damage in brain and heart tissue was reduced, with increased and more orderly arranged mitochondria in neurons and cardiomyocytes. Apoptosis in brain neuronal cells was decreased, and ROS levels in cardiomyocytes were reduced. The microvascular density and endothelial cells of new blood vessels in brain and heart tissue increased, with increased overlapping regions of CD31 and Ki67 expression. The relative protein and mRNA expression levels of HIF-1α, VEGF, VEGFR2, Src, Ang-1, Tie-2, and bFGF were elevated in brain tissue and myocardial tissue. Naoxintong Capsules may improve multiple cerebral infarctions and myocardial injury by mediating HIF-1α/VEGF expression to promote angiogenesis.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

Objective:To discuss the effect of knock down of gene of kinesin family member 3B(KIF3B),an important component of primary cilia(PC)of in mouse embryonic palatal mesenchymal on the autophagy level of cells(mEPMCs)cells,and to clarify its mechanism.Methods:The mEPMCs from gestational day 14.5 C57BL/6J mice cultured in vitro were collected and divided into control group(administered normal saline),empty lentivirus transfected cell group(sh-NC group)(administered lentivirus transfection),KIF3B knockdown group(sh-KIF3B group)(administered KIF3B gene knockdown),and KIF3B knockdown plus Smoothened receptor agonist(SAG)group(sh-KIF3B+SAG group)(administered KIF3B gene knockdown followed by SAG addition),based on whether the KIF3B gene was knocked down and whether the SAG was used to activate the sonic hedgehog(Shh)signaling pathway and its downstream coreceptor Smo,with 5 rats in each group.Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the morphology and the number of autophagosomes/autolysosomes in the mEPMCs in various groups;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins Beclin-1 and p62,and the Shh signaling pathway proteins Shh and Smo in the mEPMCs in various groups.Results:The transmission electron microscope observation results showed that compared with control group,the number of autophagosomes/autolysosomes in sh-KIF3B group was significantly increased(P<0.05);compared with sh-KIF3B group,the number of autophagosomes/autolysosomes in the mEPMCs in sh-KIF3B+SAG group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).The Western blotting results showed that compared with control group,the Beclin-1 protein expression level in the mEPMCs in sh-KIF3B group was significantly increased(P<0.05),and the KIF3B,p62,Shh,and Smo protein expression levels were significantly decreased(P<0.01);compared with sh-KIF3B group,the Shh,Smo,and p62 protein expression levels in the mEPMCs in sh-KIF3B+SAG group were significantly increased(P<0.01),and the Beclin-1 protein expression level was significantly decreased(P<0.01).Conclusion:Knockdown of KIF3B gene can promote autophagy of the mEPMCs,and the mechanism may be related to its inhibition of the Shh signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of loganin(Log)on glutamine metabolism in cervical cancer through the regula-tion of nuclear factor red blood cell 2 related factor 2(NFE2L2)-ferritin heavy chain 1(FTH1)-glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4).Methods Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to identify common targets of Log,glutamine metabolism,and cervical cancer.Hela cells were divided into Blank,control(Ctrl),Log,cisplatin(DDP),NFE2L2 activator(TBHQ),NFE2L2 inhibitor(ML385),and TBHQ+Log groups to detect cell proliferation,invasion,apoptosis,glutamine metabolism,and the protein expression of NFE2L2,FTH1,and GPX4.A cervical cancer xenograft mouse model was established to investigate the in vivo effects of Log on the progression of cervical cancer.Results Bioinformatics analysis confirmed that NFE2L2 might be a target of Log in the treatment of cervical cancer.Both Log and DDP reduced the proliferation and invasion abilities of Hela cells,increased apoptosis,and decreased the levels of glutamine and glutamic acid,as well as the protein expression of glutaminase(GLS1)and glutamic dehydrogenase(GLUD1,P<0.05).The NFE2L2 activator TBHQ had opposite effects,whereas ML385 had a similar impact on the Log.Additionally,Log treatment inhibited the protein expression of NFE2L2,FTH1,and GPX4(P<0.05).Animal experiments showed that Log significantly inhibited cervical cancer progression(P<0.05).Conclusion Log affects cervical cancer progression via glutamine metabolism by inhibiting the NFE2L2-FTH1-GPX4 signaling pathway.
