OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of dapagliflozin on contrast-induced acute kidney injury （CIAKI） and prognosis in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 （T2DM） and acute coronary syndrome （ACS） who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI）. METHODS Retrospective selection of data on T2DM patients with ACS who underwent PCI treatment in the Cardiology Department of Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 1st 2021 to December 31st 2022. The patients were divided into dapagliflozin group （96 cases） and control group （148 cases） based on whether they received dapagliflozin or not. Renal function indicators were measured for all enrolled patients before PCI and at 48 h and 1 week after PCI， including blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， serum creatinine （Scr）， estimated glomerular filtration rate （eGFR）， cystatin-C （Cys-C）， kidney injury molecule-1 （KIM-1） and β2-microglobulin （β2-MG）. All patients were followed up for at least 1 year. The incidence of CIAKI and major adverse cardiac event （MACE） during follow-up were recorded for both groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of dapagliflozin on the occurrence of CIAKI， while the Log-rank test was applied to compare the incidence of MACE between the two groups. Cox regression was employed to analyze the impact of dapagliflozin on prognosis. RESULTS At 48 h and 1 week after PCI， serum levels of Cys-C， KIM-1 and β2-MG were significantly lower in the dapagliflozin group compared to the control group （P＜0.05）. The incidence of CIAKI was lower in the dapagliflozin group compared to the control group （6.25% vs. 14.86%， P＝0.042）. Logistic regression analysis revealed that dapagliflozin was an independent protective factor against CIAKI （OR＝0.280， 95%CI 0.101-0.780，P＝0.015）. During the follow-up period， the incidence of MACE was lower in the dapagliflozin group compared to the control group （7.29% vs. 17.57%， P＝0.049）. Cox regression analysis indicated that dapagliflozin reduced the occurrence of MACE after PCI （HR＝0.374， 95%CI 0.161-0.866， P＝0.022）. CONCLUSIONS With adequate hydration， the use of dapagliflozin does not increase the risk of CIAKI following PCI in T2DM patients with ACS.

Objective To obtain the data of radiological diagnosis and treatment resource distribution at medical institutions of different levels and in various cities, understand the status of resource allocation, provide policy-making basis and suggestions for optimizing the allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources within the province, and offer data and references for related research. Methods A basic situation questionnaire survey was conducted on radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions in Hunan Province. Data were reviewed, analyzed, and statistically processed using Excel software to understand the allocation situation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources in Hunan Province. Results As of 2022, there were 3031 radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions, 19770 radiation workers, and 6617 pieces of radiological diagnostic and treatment equipment. There were 80 radiation treatment institutions, 49 nuclear medicine institutions, 178 interventional radiology institutions, and 3028 X-ray imaging diagnosis institutions. There were 1077 radiation workers in radiation treatment, 461 radiation workers in nuclear medicine, 3369 radiation workers in interventional radiology, and 14,863 radiation workers in X-ray imaging diagnosis. There were 135 pieces of radiation treatment equipment, 56 pieces of nuclear medicine equipment, 262 pieces of interventional radiology equipment, and 6164 pieces of X-ray imaging diagnosis equipment. Conclusion Primary and lower grade medical institutions in Hunan Province account for a relatively high proportion of the total number of medical institutions, whereas radiological diagnostic and treatment resources are predominantly concentrated in tertiary medical institutions, demonstrating a unbalanced allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources in various cities. In terms of the overall allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources, interventional radiology is superior to the national average, nuclear medicine and X-ray imaging diagnosis are comparable to the national averages, and radiation treatment is lower than the national average. The total GDP is not the decisive factor in determining the development of local medical levels. It is suggested that relevant authorities should improve the rationality of the planning for the allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources, promote the allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources to the grassroots and underdeveloped areas through various measures, and thus achieve the goal of balanced resource allocation.

Mental state is an important part of the normal life activities of the human body, and it is also the most external expression and the most easily obtained information of the physical condition. The normal activities of the mind depend on the normal operation of the viscera, qi, and blood, and are a unified whole that prospers together and suffers together. The theory of the five-spirit-viscera in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic revealed that the normal mental activities of the human body were dominated by the five internal organs, that is, the five internal organs were the body and the five spirits were the function. And it highlighted the viewpoint that the five internal organs store the spirits and are actually one. The heart governs the spirit and belongs to the four internal organs. On this basis, Synopsis of Golden Chamber used the internal organs to diagnose and treat mental diseases, integrating the theory of the five spirits into it, forming a unique method of diagnosis and treatment with the heart as the leading factor and regulating the qi and blood of the four internal organs. It identified the pathogenesis of diseases such as pathogenic crying, lily disease, and hysteria from five levels: heart deficiency and weak qi, heart-lung disharmony, heart-liver disharmony, the heart of the loss of the spleen nourishment, and disharmony between heart and kidney. The treatment was mainly to replenish the deficiency of the viscera and eliminate the pathogens, reflecting the characteristics of regulating the mind and calming the four internal organs. This unique view on diagnosis and treatment has profoundly influenced the diagnosis and treatment theories of mental illnesses by later doctors, and is of great significance to the current clinical treatment of such illnesses.

(+)-Borneol, the main component of "Natural Borneol" in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, is a high-end spice and precious medicine. Plant extraction cannot meet the increasing demand for (+)-borneol, while microbial biosynthesis offers a sustainable supply route. However, its production was extremely low compared with other monoterpenes, even with extensively optimizing the mevalonate pathway. We found that the key challenge is the complex and unusual dephosphorylation reaction of bornyl diphosphate (BPP), which suffers the side-reaction and the competition from the cellular dephosphorylation process, especially lipid metabolism, thus limiting (+)-borneol synthesis. Here, we systematically optimized the dephosphorylation process by identifying, characterizing phosphatases, and balancing cellular dephosphorylation metabolism. For the first time, we identified two endogenous phosphatases and seven heterologous phosphatases, which significantly increased (+)-borneol production by up to 152%. By engineering BPP dephosphorylation and optimizing the MVA pathway, the production of (+)-borneol was increased by 33.8-fold, which enabled the production of 753 mg/L under fed-batch fermentation in shake flasks, so far the highest reported in the literature. This study showed that rewiring dephosphorylation metabolism was essential for high-level production of (+)-borneol in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and balancing cellular dephosphorylation is also helpful for efficient biosynthesis of other terpenoids since all whose biosynthesis involves the dephosphorylation procedure.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dupilumab combined with 2％cleboride ointment in the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis,as well as its impact on serological indica-tors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 67 patients with moderate to se-vere atopic dermatitis(AD)admitted to the Department of Dermatology of Shaoxing University Affiliated Hospital from March 2021 to December 2024.The study subjects were divided into an experimental group(n=35)and a control group(n=32)according to the treatment method.The experimental group was treated with Dupilumab injection and 2％Cleboride ointment,while the control group was treated with ebastine tab-lets and 2％cleboride ointment.Clinical and related serological indicators of patients after 16 weeks of treat-ment were collected,and the itch digital scale score,eczema area and severity(EASI)score,IL-4,IL-13 levels,and incidence of local skin adverse reactions were analyzed before and after treatment in both groups.Results The total effective rate of the experimental group after treatment was 94.29％(33/35),which was higher than the control group[53.13％(17/32)],and the difference was statistically significant(x2=12.862,P＜0.001).There was no statistically significant difference in symptom scores,IL-4,and IL-13 levels between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the symptom scores of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The lev-els of IL-4 and IL-13 in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was 2.86％(1/35),significantly lower than the 34.38％(11/32)in the control group,and the difference was sta-tistically significant(x2=9.252,P=0.002).Conclusion The combination of dupilumab injection and 2％cleboride ointment is effective in relieving skin symptoms,regulating cellular immune function,reducing in-flammatory reactions,and minimizing local skin adverse reactions in patients with moderate to severe AD.It is worthy of clinical promotion and use.

Objective:To compare the differences in chemical compositions before and after processing by different processing methods; To optimize the processing method of Atractylodes lancea Rhizoma.Methods:Atractylodes lancea Rhizoma was processed by stir-frying with bran and treating with rice washing water. The volatile and non-volatile components of raw Atractylodes lancea Rhizoma, bran-fried Atractylodes lancea Rhizoma and rice washing water treated Atractylodes lancea Rhizome were qualitatively analyzed by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS), and the differences in chemical composition before and after processing were compared.Results:The volatile components of the three different products were determined to have 18 common components, such as agarospirol, β-eudesol, etc. In addition, 86 non-volatile components were determined. The peak area response value of atractylodin, the index component prescribed by pharmacopoeia, decreased after processing, but there was little difference in bran stir-frying and rice-washed water frying.Conclusions:Different processing methods have certain effects on the chemical composition of Atractylodes lancea Rhizoma. Among them, the bran-frying method is superior in improving the quality of preparations, reducing production costs and improving production efficiency. The bran-fried product can be used as raw material for preparation production.

There are a variety of mechanical signals in the microenvironment of cells,which have temporal and spatial variability,which jointly regulate the histological processes such as cell proliferation,differentiation and migration.Piezo1 is a mechanically sensitive cationic channel.As a force sensor,it transmits signals to downstream pathways and participates in a variety of life activities in response to changes in the cell microenvironment.In this paper,the common signal pathways of Piezo1 were reviewed in order to identify the downstream signaling pathways regulated by Piezo1,thereby providing theoretical basis for inhibiting or delaying related diseases.

Objective The aim of this study was to characterize the basic molecular and biochemical parameters for a cyclophilin protein in Cryptosporidium parvum called CpCyP1.Methods CpCyP1 expression patterns during the parasite life cycle were evaluated using qRT-PCR with total RNA isolated from different developmental stages of C.parvum.Native CpCyP1 protein in sporozoites was detected using western blot.The localization of CpCyP1 was performed using the immunofluorescence assay,with an affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide.The peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase(PPIase)activity of His-tagged recombinant CpCyP1 was evaluated using absorbance colorimetry,and the effect of cyclosporin A(CsA)on the activity of CpCyP1 was determined.Results CpCyP1 was expressed in all parasite developmental stages,whereas CpCyP1 was present mainly in the cytosol of sporozoites,meronts,and gamonts.CpCyP1 displayed Michaelis-Menten kinetics towards N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p-nitroanilide for its PPIase activity(Km=456.4 μmol/L;Vmax=1.981 U).CsA inhibited PPIase activity,showing lower micromolar inhibitory activity and binding affinity(Kd=5.122 μmol/L;IC50=1.004 μmol/L).Conclusions These results imply that CpCyP1 in the parasite may be the target for the previously reported anti-cryptosporidial efficacy of CsA and suggest that C.parvum cyclophilins could be evaluated as candidate drug targets.

Objective To explore the effect of Shuanglu Tongnao Formula on neuronal ferroptosis in ischemic stroke rats and its regulatory mechanism on the silent information regulator 2 homolog 1(SIRT1)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related fac-tor 2(Nrf2)/glutathione peroxidase 4(GPx4)signaling pathways.Methods Twenty rats were selected as sham operation group by the random number table method,and the remaining seventy rats were made ischemic stroke rat models by the middle cerebral artery occlusion method.The rats that had been successfully modeled were randomly divided into the model control group,Shuanglu Tongnao formula group,Shuanglu Tongnao formula+SIRT1 inhibitor group(Shuanglu Tongnao formula+EX527 group),with 20 rats in each group.After 14 days,the rats were scored for neurological injury;TTC staining was applied to detect the area of cerebral infarction in rats;HE staining was applied to detect pathological changes in rat brain tissue;Nissl staining was applied to detect the number of neurons in rat brain tissue;the kit was applied to detect the levels of ferri ion(Fe2+),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione(GSH),and malonaldehyde(MDA)in rat brain tissue;immunohistochemistry was applied to de-tect the positive expression of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4(ACSL4),transferrin receptor(TFR),and ferritin heavy polypeptide 1(FTH1)proteins in rat brain tissue;Western blotting method was applied to detect the expression of SIRT1,Nrf2,GPx4,and cystine/glutamate antiporter solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11)proteins in rat brain tissue.Results Compared with the sham operation group,the neurological deficit score,cerebral infarction area,the contents of Fe2+and MDA,and the protein expressions of ACSL4 and TFR in model control group were increased(P<0.05);the number of neurons,the con-tents of SOD and GSH,the protein expression of FTH1,SIRT1,Nrf2,GPx4,and SLC7A11 were all reduced(P<0.05).Compared with the model control group,the neurological deficit score,cerebral infarction area,the contents of Fe2+and MDA,and the protein expression of ACSL4 and TFR in the Shuanglu Tongnao formula group were reduced(P<0.05),and the number of neurons,the contents of SOD and GSH,the protein expressions of FTH1,SIRT1,Nrf2,GPx4,and SLC7A11 are all increased(P<0.05).The results of the SIRT1 inhibitor supplementation experiment showed that the SIRT1 inhibitor reversed the inhibitory effect of Shuan-glu Tongnao formula on neuronal ferroptosis,while also inhibited the expression of Nrf2 and GPx4(P<0.05).Conclusion The Shuanglu Tongnao formula may inhibit neuronal ferroptosis in ischemic stroke rats by activating the SIRT1/Nrf2/GPx4 signa-ling pathway.

This paper summarized Professor PENG Peichu's experience in the differentiation and treatment of prostate cancer in three phases and four stages. It is considered that prostatic cancer is categorized into root deficiency and branch excess， with depletion of healthy qi as the root， and the accumulation of cancer toxin as the minifestation. Clinical diagnosis and treatment of prostatic cancer can be divided into three phases and four stages according to the exuberance and decline of pathogenic and healthy qi and the changes of deficiency and excess of yin and yang. In the initial accumulation phase of cancer toxin （yang excess stage）， the key pathogenesis is the accumulation of dampness， heat and static blood， and internal generation of cancer toxin， and the treatment should be resolving toxins， fighting cancer and dispelling yang excess. In the phase of healthy qi deficiency and toxin accumulation （yin deficiency stage）， with the lung and kidney yin deficiency， dampness， heat and static toxin accumulation as the key pathogenesis， the treatment should be centered on mutual generation between metal and water to nourish kidney yin， supplemented with the method of clearing heat and draining dampness， activating blood and resolving toxins， for which self-made Nanbei Formula（南北方）is usually used. In the phase of yang deficiency and cold stagnation （yang deficiency stage and yin excess stage）， with the spleen and kidney yang deficiency， cold dampness stagnation， static heat and toxin accumulation as the key pathogenesis， the treatment should be warming and tonifying spleen and kidney to dissipate cold accumulation； for deficiency of both yin and yang， and excess pathogen obstruction， modified Yanghe Decoction（阳和汤） is recommended， while for yang deficiency， cold congealing and blood stasis， self-made Wenshen Sanjie Formula（温肾散结方） can be used， and for cold dampness binding with cancer toxin， and cold complex with heat， self-made Quanan Formula （泉安方） is advised.
