ObjectiveThis paper aims to explore the action and molecular mechanism of modified Tongluo Tangtai Formula（MTLTT） on myelin damage in diabetic peripheral neuropathy （DPN） based on network pharmacology and in vitro experiments. MethodsThe chemical components of the MTLTT were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology （TCMSP） database and literature， and the component targets were collected from the SwissTargetPrediction database. The targets of DPN were collected from the GeneCards， OMIM， Disgenet， and GEO databases. Gene ontology （GO） and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes （KEGG） enrichment analyses were performed using the Metascape database， and a network diagram was constructed using Cytoscape software. The binding actions of core components with glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta （GSK-3β） and β-catenin were analyzed by Autodock Vina. An in vitro DPN model was established by high glucose-induced Schwann cells and dorsal root ganglion cells （SCs/DRGs）. The ultrastructural morphological changes of SCs and DRGs were observed by scanning electron microscope（SEM）， and the expressions of myelin-associated glycoprotein （MAG） and myelin basic protein （MBP） were detected by immunofluorescence staining. The mRNA and protein expression levels of MAG， MBP， myelin protein 0 （P0）， peripheral myelin protein 22 （PMP22）， and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related protein β-catenin， GSK-3β， Wnt family member 3α （Wnt3α）， and Wnt inhibitory factor-1 （Wif-1） were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot. ResultsNetwork pharmacology analysis revealed that MTLTT components may treat DPN via the Wnt signaling pathway， involving key proteins such as GSK-3β， β-catenin and Wif-1. The molecular docking results indicate that atropine， apigenin， baicalein， isoflavanone， and albiflorin have good binding activity with GSK-3β， and that all 13 core components have stable binding activity with β-catenin. Cell experiments showed that compared with the blank group， SCs and DRGs in the model group exhibited severe morphological and structural abnormalities such as disintegration， shrinkage and axonal rupture， while these abnormal changes were improved after MTLTT intervention. Immunofluorescence results indicated that the fluorescence intensity of MAG and MBP was markedly decreased in the model group relative to the blank group（P<0.01）， while MTLTT treatment obviously upregulated the expression of MAG and MBP compared with the model group （P<0.01）. Real-time PCR and Western blot assays revealed that the expression levels of myelin-related molecules MAG， MBP， P0 and PMP22 were significantly reduced in the model group （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and MTLTT remarkably increased their expression levels （P<0.05）. In the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway， the mRNA levels of GSK-3β， Wif-1 and Wnt3α were elevated and β-catenin mRNA expression was declined in the model group （P<0.01）. Meanwhile， the protein expressions of GSK-3β and Wif-1 were upregulated， whereas those of Wnt3α and β-catenin were downregulated （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， MTLTT at different doses reduced the mRNA and protein levels of GSK-3β and Wif-1 to varying degrees （P<0.05）， and distinctly enhanced the protein expression of Wnt3α and β-catenin（P<0.01）. ConclusionMTLTT can alleviate high glucose-induced myelin damage. Its protective mechanism may promote myelin repair by upregulating the expression of MAG， MBP， P0 and PMP22， and the therapeutic effect is possibly associated with the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective·To investigate the predictive value of the geriatric nutritional risk index(GNRI)for the occurrence of lung infection in hospitalized elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods·Elderly T2DM patients who were admitted to the Geriatric Department of Shanghai Tongren Hospital between June 2022 and June 2024 were retrospectively and consecutively enrolled.They were divided into infected and non-infected groups according to whether lung infection occurred during hospitalization.Baseline data(gender,age,height,weight,duration of diabetes,comorbidities,etc.)were collected and GNRI was calculated.A multivariate Logistic regression model was used to screen the independent risk factors for pulmonary infections,and the predictive value of GNRI for pulmonary infections in T2DM patients was analysed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results·A total of 264 elderly T2DM patients were enrolled,among whom 154 developed pulmonary infections.Significant differences were observed between the infected and non-infected groups in GNRI,albumin,leukocyte count,neutrophil ratio,lymphocyte ratio,glycated hemoglobin,fasting glucose,interleukin-6,C-reactive protein,and procalcitonin levels(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that a lower GNRI was an independent risk factor for lung infection(OR=0.798,95%CI 0.712?0.894;P<0.001).Correlation analysis showed that GNRI was negatively correlated with C-reactive protein and calcitoninogen.ROC curve analysis showed that GNRI predicted pulmonary infection with an area under the curve of 0.828,a sensitivity of 77.9%,and a specificity of 76.6%.Conclusion·A lower GNRI is an independent risk factor for pulmonary infections in elderly T2DM patients,and also has a good predictive value for the occurrence of pulmonary infections.

【Objective】 To explore the status quo and influencing factors of knowledge, attitude and practice of voluntary blood donation among undergraduates in Beijing. 【Methods】 A questionnaire was designed on the basis of literature, using the method of convenience sampling to survey the undergraduates from 39 universities in Beijing. The t-test, analysis of variance and χ² test were used to compare the differences in knowledge, attitude and practice of voluntary blood donation among different groups, and logistic regression model was performed to analyze the influencing factors. 【Results】 A total of 1 075 valid questionnaires were collected from undergraduates of 39 universities in Beijing. The results showed that the proportion of the participants who had good knowledge about voluntary blood donation was 69.21% (744/1 075). No statistically significant difference was noticed on the scores of voluntary blood donation knowledge between males and females (P>0.05). The scores of voluntary blood donation knowledge of medical students were higher than those of other subjects (P<0.05). The scores of voluntary blood donation knowledge of juniors and above were higher than those of lower grades (P<0.05). The rate of undergraduates participating voluntary blood donation in Beijing was 30.98% (333/1 075). A total of 67.26% (723/1 075) of students had donation intention, 9.49% (102/1 075) didn’t and 23.25% (250/1 075) were not sure. No statistically significant differences in blood donation intention were observed among undergraduates by genders and grades (P>0.05). The rate of medical students’ intention to donate blood was higher than that of other subjects (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The rate of voluntary blood donation among undergraduates in Beijing was above the middle level compared with other regions in China, but the practice of voluntary blood donation is far away from the intention. Therefore, it’s necessary to improve the level of knowledge, attitude and practice of undergraduates, especially non-medical college students, so as to improve the rate of voluntary blood donation among the undergraduates in Beijing.

The tetanus has been eliminated in the pregnancy women and newborns in China. However, there is a gap for adult tetanus immunization, and the risk of tetanus infection cannot be ignored. In order to clearly understand the effect of the tetanus to human beings and the current use of tetanus immunological preparation for adult post-exposure prophylaxis, the incidence of the tetanus, the use status of tetanus immunological preparation and recommendations for post-exposure prophylaxis at home and abroad were reviewed and summarized, which may provide academic evidence for post-exposure prophylaxis procedures and use of tetanus immunological preparation.
