BACKGROUND:The repair process of myocardial injury involves complex cellular and molecular mechanisms,especially mitochondrial calcium homeostasis,macrophage autophagy and pyroptosis pathways.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has shown significant clinical efficacy in improving myocardial injury,but its mechanism of action needs to be thoroughly investigated. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis-mediated macrophage autophagy and pyroptosis pathways in myocardial injury,and to summarize the progress of TCM in this field. METHODS:A computerized search was performed for relevant literature from the database inception to March 2024 in the Web of Science,PubMed and CNKI.The search terms were"mitochondrial calcium homeostasis,macrophage autophagy,macrophage pyroptosis,traditional Chinese medicine,myocardial injury,myocardial injury reperfusion"in Chinese and English.Through literature review,we analyzed the relationship between mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and macrophage autophagy and pyroptosis,explored the mechanism of their roles in myocardial injury,and summarized the pathways of multi-targeted,multi-pathway effects of TCM. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The maintenance of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis has been found to be closely related to the normal function of cardiomyocytes.Macrophages can participate in the repair process of myocardial injury through autophagy and pyroptosis pathways.Autophagy contributes to cell clearance and regulation of inflammatory response,while pyroptosis affects myocardial repair by releasing inflammatory factors.TCM regulates mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and macrophage function through multiple mechanisms.For example,astragalosid regulates calcium homeostasis by lowering mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibiting cytochrome C,and epimedium glycoside plays a role in reducing β-amyloid deposition.In addition,herbal compounds and single drugs promote myocardial repair by activating or inhibiting specific signaling pathways,such as PI3K/AKT and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways.Future studies should focus on the interactions between mitochondrial calcium homeostasis,autophagy and pyroptosis pathways,as well as how TCM can exert therapeutic effects through these pathways to provide new strategies and drugs for the treatment of myocardial injury.

INTRODUCTION: Lecanemab has shown promise in treating early Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its safety and efficacy in Chinese populations remain unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and 6-month clinical outcomes of lecanemab in Chinese patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild AD. METHODS: In this single-arm, real-world study, participants with MCI due to AD or mild AD received biweekly intravenous lecanemab (10 mg/kg). The study was conducted at Hainan Branch, Ruijin Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Patient enrollment and baseline assessments commenced in November 2023. Safety assessments included monitoring for amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) and other adverse events. Clinical and biomarker changes from baseline to 6 months were evaluated using cognitive scales (mini-mental state examination [MMSE], montreal cognitive assessment [MoCA], clinical dementia rating-sum of boxes [CDR-SB]), plasma biomarker analysis, and advanced neuroimaging. RESULTS: A total of 64 patients were enrolled in this ongoing real-world study. Safety analysis revealed predominantly mild adverse events, with infusion-related reactions (20.3%, 13/64) being the most common. Of these, 69.2% (9/13) occurred during the initial infusion and 84.6% (11/13) did not recur. ARIA-H (microhemorrhages/superficial siderosis) and ARIA-E (edema/effusion) were observed in 9.4% (6/64) and 3.1% (2/64) of participants, respectively, with only two symptomatic cases (one ARIA-E presenting with headache and one ARIA-H with visual disturbances). After 6 months of treatment, cognitive scores remained stable compared to baseline (MMSE: 22.33 ± 5.58 vs . 21.27 ± 4.30, P = 0.733; MoCA: 16.38 ± 6.67 vs . 15.90 ± 4.78, P = 0.785; CDR-SB: 2.30 ± 1.65 vs . 3.16 ± 1.72, P = 0.357), while significantly increasing plasma amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42) (+21.42%) and Aβ40 (+23.53%) levels compared to baseline. CONCLUSIONS: Lecanemab demonstrated a favorable safety profile in Chinese patients with early AD. Cognitive stability and biomarker changes over 6 months suggest potential efficacy, though high dropout rates and absence of a control group warrant cautious interpretation. These findings provide preliminary real-world evidence for lecanemab's use in China, supporting further investigation in larger controlled studies. REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT07034222.

Objective To establish a personalized Stanford type B aortic dissection numerical simulation model, and using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation to obtain the hemodynamic behavior and law of the type B aortic dissection at different stages of development. Methods Based on the theory of three-dimensional model reconstruction, we used CT images of a patient with type B aortic dissection in the Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital of Xiamen University, relevant medical image processing software to reconstruct a personalized aortic three-dimensional model, and CFD to reconstruct the model which was simulated in fluid mechanics. Results The three-dimensional reconstruction model could intuitively observe the changing trend of the false cavity at different stages of the dissection development. Through fluid mechanics simulation, the blood flow rate, pressure, wall shear stress, vascular wall Von Mises stress and other parameters at different stages of the dissection development were obtained. Conclusion The hemodynamic behavior and law of relevant parameters in the development stage of aortic dissection are analyzed. The combination of the values of relevant parameters and clinical medical detection and diagnosis can well predict the development of the disease, and finally provide more theories and methods for the scientific diagnosis of aortic dissection.

Chronic kidney disease（CKD）has a significant impact on global public health and is one of the important factors leading to the rise of incidence rate and mortality of non communicable diseases.Intestinal microecology is involved in many pathophysiological activities，such as immunity and nutrient absorption.With proposal of the concept of intestine-kidney axis in 2002，researchers found that the decline of glomerular filtration rate led to accumulation of uremic toxins in intestine，destroyed the intestinal mucosal barrier，led to the translocation of toxins，activated the systemic oxidative stress response，further promoted the progress of CKD.This article reviewed the function of gut microbiota，intestine-gut kidney axis，and the application of microbial preparations in CKD.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of adjuvant therapy after conversion resection for pancreatic cancer.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 173 patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent surgical resection after neoadjuvant and/or induction therapy in The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2019 to December 2021 were collected. There were 107 males and 66 females, aged (59±9)years. Observation indicators: (1) comparison of clinicopathological data between patients with and without adjuvant therapy after conversion resection for pancreatic cancer; (2) analysis of influencing factors for prognosis of pancreatic cancer after conversion resection; (3) follow-up and prognosis; (4) survival benefit of adjuvant therapy in subgroup populations. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the non-parameter rank sum test. The Graphpad prism 8 software was used to draw survival curves, the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival time and survival rates, and the Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. The COX proportional hazards regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Interaction analysis was used to determine the benefit of adjuvant therapy in subgroup populations. Results:(1) Comparison of clinicopathological data between patients with and without adjuvant therapy after conversion resection for pancreatic cancer. Of the 173 pancreatic cancer patients, there were 108 cases with adjuvant therapy after conversion resection and 65 cases without adjuvant therapy after conversion resection, respectively. Age and body mass index were (58±9)years and (23.2±2.8)kg/m 2 in patients with adjuvant therapy, versus (61±8)years and (22.2±2.8)kg/m 2 in patients without adjuvant therapy, showing significant differences in the above indicators between them ( t=-2.036, 2.200, P<0.05). (2) Analysis of influencing factors for prognosis of pancreatic cancer after conversion resection. Results of multivariate analysis showed that CA19-9 normalization, pathological N staging, degree of tumor differentiation and postoperative adjuvant therapy were independent factors influencing overall survival time in pancreatic cancer patients receiving conversion resection ( hazard ratio=1.598, 1.541, 2.004, 2.571, 95% confidence interval as 1.041-2.453, 1.021-2.327, 1.288-3.118, 1.721-3.843, P<0.05). (3) Follow-up and prognosis. All 173 patients were followed up for 24.5(5.0,52.0)months. The postoperative median overall survival time of 173 patients was 28.9(5.7,51.9)months, and the 1-, 2-, 3-year overall survival rates were 90%, 59%, 40%, respectively. Of 2019, 2020, 2021, the proportions of patients receiving adjuvant therapy after conversion resection were 62.8%(27/43), 57.7%(30/52) and 65.4%(51/78) respectively. The postoperative median overall survival time was 42.2(8.8,49.7)months in patients with adjuvant therapy after conversion resection, versus 20.4(5.7,51.9)months in patients without adjuvant therapy after conversion resection, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=29.893, P<0.05). (4) Survival benefit of adjuvant therapy in subgroup populations. Results of interaction analysis showed that in subgroup populations with CA19-9 normalization, pathological stage N0, pathological stage N1-2, moderate to well differentiated tumors, adjuvant therapy after conversion resection can bring a better survival benefit for patients with pancreatic cancer ( adjustment hazard ratio=0.220, 0.300, 0.410, 0.340, 95% confidence interval as 0.120-0.400, 0.170-0.560, 0.240-0.690, 0.210-0.690). Conclusions:Postoperative adjuvant therapy is an independent factor influencing overall survival time in pancreatic cancer patients receiving conversion resection. Adjuvant therapy after conversion resection can bring additional survival benefits for pancreatic cancer, particularly for patients who respond favorably to neoadjuvant and/or induction therapy.
