Patients with Takayasu arteritis combined with aortic valve disease often have a poor prognosis following surgical valve replacement, frequently encountering complications such as perivalvular leakage, valve detachment, and anastomotic aneurysm. This article presents a high-risk case wherein severe aortic valve insufficiency associated with Takayasu arteritis was successfully managed through transcatheter aortic valve implantation via the transapical approach. The patient had satisfactory valve function with no complications observed during the six-month postoperative follow-up. This case provides a minimally invasive and feasible alternative for the clinical management of such high-risk patients.

N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP) is an antipyretic analgesic commonly used in clinical practice, and APAP overdose can cause severe liver injury and even death. In recent years, the incidence rate of APAP-induced liver injury (AILI) tends to increase, and it has become the second most common cause of liver transplantation worldwide. Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process that removes unwanted cytosolic proteins and organelles through lysosomal degradation to achieve the metabolic needs of cells themselves and the renewal of organelles. A large number of studies have shown that autophagy plays a key role in the pathophysiology of AILI, involving the mechanisms such as APAP protein conjugates, oxidative stress, JNK activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammatory response and apoptosis. This article elaborates on the biological mechanism of autophagy in AILI, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of AILI and the development of autophagy regulators.

Objective To investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of the Laennec membrane left side hepatic parenchymal transection-first approach combined with APR triangle in laparoscopic anatomical central hepatectomy.Methods 24 patients underwent laparoscopic anatomical central hepatectomy via Laennec membrane left side hepatic parenchymal transection-first approach combined with APR triangle from January 2023 to June 2024 were selected.Statistical analysis of patients with operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative complications,and postoperative hospital stay.Results All the 24 patients underwent laparoscopic anatomical central hepatectomy without perioperative death.The operation time was(210.2±75.6)minutes(range:95~295 min),and the intraoperative blood loss was(358.9±118.4)mL(range:150~1 100 mL).There was no intraoperative blood transfusion and no conversion to open surgery.The abdominal drainage tube was removed on the average of(5.5±0.5)d(range:4~10 d)after operation,and the average postoperative hospital stay was(7.5±1.5)d(range:5~16 d).There were 5 cases of Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ complications,including 4 cases of abdominal effusion and 1 case of pleural effusion.Postoperative pathology:all patients were hepatocellular carcinoma.Patients with liver malignant tumor were followed up for 1 month to 1.5 years.All the patients survived during the follow-up period,and 2 patients had tumor recurrence.Conclusion For central hepatic segment tumors,laparoscopic anatomical central hepatectomy can be performed using the left hepatic parenchyma via Laennec membrane priority approach combined with APR triangle method,which is safe and feasible.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of Huanglian Jiedutang (HLJDT) in treating mice with atherosclerosis (AS) by improving ferroptosis. MethodsA total of 10 SPF C57BL/6J mice were selected as a normal group, and 50 ApoE-/- mice were randomly divided into five groups: model group, low-dose group of HLJDT, medium-dose group of HLJDT, high-dose group of HLJDT, and atorvastatin (ATV) group. ApoE-/- mice were fed a high-fat diet for eight weeks to establish the AS model, and at the 9th week, they were given normal saline, low, medium, and high doses of HLJDT (3.9, 7.8, 15.6 g·kg-1·d-1), and atorvastatin calcium tablets (0.01 g·kg-1·d-1), respectively, for a total of eight weeks. The formation of aortic plaque in mice was observed by gross oil red O staining and Masson staining. The levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in blood fat were measured by the automatic biochemical analyzer, and the mitochondrial structure of the aorta was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The content of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) in serum was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The content of reduced glutathione (GSH) in serum was detected by the microplate method, and that of malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum was detected by the TBA method. The protein expression of nuclear factor E2-associated factor 2 (Nrf2)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) signaling pathway was detected by Western blot. ResultsCompared with those of the normal group, the contents of TC, LDL-C, TG, HDL-C, and MDA in the serum and the aortic vascular plaque deposition of the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), while the expression levels of SOD and GSH in serum, as well as Nrf2, solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), and GPX4 in aorta were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Mice in the model group appeared mitochondrial fragmentation and vacuolation in the aorta, volume atrophy, mitochondrial crista reduction, or a loose and disorganized form. Compared with those in the model group, the aortic vascular plaque deposition was significantly decreased in the low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of HLJDT and ATV group, and the contents of serum TC, LDL-C, TG, and MDA in serum were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The contents of serum SOD and GSH and the expression levels of Nrf2, SLC7A11, and GPX4 in the aorta were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the symptoms of aortic mitochondrial vacuolation were alleviated. The number of cristae was increased, and they were ordered neatly. ConclusionHLJDT can reduce aortic vascular plaque deposition, decrease blood lipid and MDA expression, increase SOD and GSH expression, and ameliorate the pathological changes of ferroptosis, the mechanism of which is related to the Nrf2/GPX4 signaling pathway.

Objective:To study the neuromuscular control characteristics of ankle muscles of patients with chronic ankle instability(CAI)in different phases of stance,in order to provide reference for function evaluation and interven-tion of CAI.Method:CAI patients were collected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and matched with healthy individuals based on age,height,weight and sex.Surface electromyography was used to detect the electromyographic activity of the tibialis anterior,peroneus longus,gastrocnemius medialis and lateralis in all subjects during barefoot walking at a self-selected speed.Result:Compare with the control group,the mean normalized root mean square(RMS)value and co-contrac-tion index of peroneus longus in CAI patients were significantly reduced from middle-stance to heel-off(P<0.05).The normalized RMS of gastrocnemius medialis was significantly increased from heel-off to toe-off(P<0.05).The co-contraction indexes of tibialis anterior(P<0.01)and gastrocnemius lateralis(P<0.05)was signif-icantly decreased from heel-strike to foot flat.Conclusion:In CAI patients during walking,the neuromuscular control of the peroneus longus is reduced from middle-stance to heel-off,and the neuromuscular activation of the gastrocnemius medialis was increased from heel-off to toe-off,while the neuromuscular control of tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius lateralis is sufficient from heel-strike to foot-flat.These abnormalities will affect the posture and movement of foot-ankle at the cor-responding gait phase and increase the risk of ankle sprain.
