ObjectiveBased on transcriptomics, to explore the mechanism of Hei Xiaoyaosan regulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway to improve the learning and memory ability of insomnia rats with liver depression syndrome. MethodsSixty 8-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, eszopiclone group (0.09 mg·kg-1), and low, medium, and high dose groups of Hei Xiaoyaosan (3.82, 7.65, 15.30 g·kg-1), with ten rats in each group. Except for the blank group, the other groups were induced insomnia rat model with liver depression by chronic restraint, tail clamping stimulation and intraperitoneal injection of p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA). Each treatment group received intragastric administration according to the specified dosage, once a day for 14 consecutive days. The pentobarbital sodium cooperative sleep test, open field test, and Morris water maze test were used to test the sleep quality, depressive-like behavior, and learning and memory abilities of rats. Additionally, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the contents of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and nitric oxide (NO) in hippocampus. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe pathological changes of the hippocampal tissue, while terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP) nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to evaluate apoptosis of hippocampal neurons. Transcriptomic sequencing technology was employed to identify differentially expressed genes in hippocampus between the model group and the blank group, as well as between the medium-dose group of Hei Xiaoyaosan and the model group. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were performed on the intersecting genes. Subsequently, the enriched key genes and signaling pathways were analyzed and verified. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was utilized to assess the mRNA expression levels of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)-like protein 11 (BCL2L11), and mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1) in hippocampus, and Western blot was employed to evaluate the protein expressions of PI3K, phosphorylation (p)-PI3K, Akt, p-Akt, Bcl-2, Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and cleaved Caspase-3 in the same tissue. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group exhibited a reduction in body weight, an increase in sleep latency, and a decrease in sleep duration (P<0.01). Additionally, rats showed obvious depression-like behavior, and their learning and memory abilities decreased. Furthermore, the contents of 5-HT, GABA, NO, BDNF and GDNF in hippocampus decreased (P<0.01). Histological examination revealed a disorganized cell arrangement in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, characterized by irregular cell shapes, a reduced cell count, deeply stained and pyknotic nuclei, increased vacuolar degeneration, and an elevated apoptosis rate (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the body weight of the high and medium dose groups of Hei Xiaoyaosan increased, the sleep latency shortened and the sleep time prolonged (P<0.05, P<0.01). Additionally, depression-like behavior and learning and memory abilities of rats were significantly improved, the levels of 5-HT, GABA, NO, BDNF and GDNF in the hippocampus increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). These interventions also ameliorated pathological damage in the hippocampal CA1 area and reduced the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons (P<0.01). Transcriptomic sequencing results indicated that Hei Xiaoyaosan might exert a therapeutic effect by regulating PI3K/Akt pathway through key mRNAs such as PTEN, BCL2L11, and MAPK1. The roles of these key mRNAs and proteins within PI3K/Akt pathway were further validated. In comparison to the blank group, the expression levels of PTEN, BCL2L11 and MAPK1 mRNA in the hippocampus of rats in the model group were increased (P<0.01), while the protein expression levels of p-PI3K, p-Akt and Bcl-2 were decreased (P<0.01), and the protein expression levels of PTEN, Bax and cleaved Caspase-3 were increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the high-dose and medium-dose groups of Hei Xiaoyaosan could down-regulate the expressions of PTEN, BCL2L11 and MAPK1 mRNAs (P<0.01), up-regulate the expressions of p-PI3K, p-Akt and Bcl-2 proteins (P<0.01), and down-regulate the protein expressions of PTEN, Bax and cleaved Caspase-3 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionHei Xiaoyaosan may regulate PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by down-regulating expressions of key genes such as PTEN, BCL2L11 and MAPK1, and thus improve the learning and memory abilities of insomnia rats with liver depression syndrome.

Objective:
Exploring the effect and mechanism of Xinyang Tablet on reduction of ferroptosis in myocardial cells from mice with chronic heart failure.
Methods:
Sixty C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to the sham, model, Xinyang Tablet low-dose (0.34 g/kg), Xinyang Tablet medium-dose (0.68 g/kg), Xinyang Tablet high-dose (1.36 g/kg), and perindopril (0.607 mg/kg) groups using a random number table method (10 mice in each group). Except for the sham group, all other groups underwent aortic arch constriction surgery to construct a chronic heart failure model. On the third day after completion of the modeling, each treatment group was administered the corresponding medication by gavage, while the sham and model groups were administered equal volumes of water by gavage once a day for eight consecutive weeks. After treatment, cardiac ultrasound was used to detect the structure and function of the mouse heart. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to detect pathological changes in mouse heart tissue. Masson staining was used to detect the proportion of fibrotic area of mouse heart tissue. Realtime fluorescence PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), collagen 3α (Col3α), and myosin heavy chain 7 (MYH7) in mouse myocardial tissue. Transmission electron microscope was used to detect the ultrastructure of myocardial cell mitochondria. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) staining was used to detect the mean fluorescence intensity of ROS in myocardial tissue. Micro-determination was used to detect superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in myocardial tissue. An immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the mean fluorescence intensity of phosphorylated histone deacetylase 2 (p-HDAC2) in myocardial cell. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), p-HDAC2, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 1 (NOX1), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and cystine glutamate reverse transporter (xCT) in mouse myocardial tissue.
Results:
Compared to the sham group, the model group showed a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS), an increase in left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVESD) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), an increase in the proportion of cardiac fibrosis area, an increase in relative expression levels of ANP, BNP, Col3α, and MYH7 mRNA, an increase in ROS mean fluorescence intensity, a decrease in SOD activity, an increase in mean fluorescence intensity of p-HDAC2, an increase in relative expression levels of p-HDAC2 and NOX1 proteins, and a decrease in relative expression levels of Nrf2, GPX4, and xCT proteins (P<0.05). Myocardial fibrosis lesions are obvious, with disordered mitochondrial arrangement, decreased volume and shrinkage, increased membrane density, and reduced mitochondrial cristae. Compared to the model group, the LVEF and LVFS of mice in each dose group of Xinyang Tablet and the perindopril group increased, LVESD and LVEDD decreased, the proportion of fibrotic area of heart tissue decreased, the relative expression levels of ANP, BNP, Col3α, MYH7 mRNA decreased, ROS mean fluorescence intensity decreased, SOD activity increased, mean fluorescence intensity of p-HDAC2 decreased, relative expression levels of p-HDAC2 and NOX1 proteins decreased, and relative expression levels of Nrf2 and xCT proteins increased (P<0.05). Myocardial fibrosis was reduced, the mitochondrial arrangement was more regular, the mitochondria enlarged, the membrane density was reduced, and mitochondrial cristae increased. Compared to the model group, the relative expression level of the GPX4 protein in myocardial tissue increased in the Xinyang Tablet medium-, high-dose, and the perindopril groups (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Xinyang Tablet can improve ferroptosis and ventricular remodeling in mice with chronic heart failure by regulating the HDAC2-mediated Nrf2 antioxidant pathway.

BACKGROUND:Sema3A is a power secretory osteoprotective factor.However,studies about Sema3A-modified dental pulp stem cells(Sema3A-DPSCs)are rare. OBJECTIVE:To explore the osteogenic differentiation ability of Sema3A-DPSCs and their regulatory effect on the osteogenic differentiation of the pre-osteoblast cell line MC3T3-E1. METHODS:First,Sema3A-DPSCs were constructed using a lentivirus infection system carrying the Sema3A gene.Control lentivirus-treated DPSCs(Vector-DPSCs)were used as controls.Sema3A-DPSCs or Vector-DPSCs were co-cultured with proosteoblast line MC3T3-E1 at the ratio of 1∶1 and 1∶3 for 24 hours.Finally,the Sema3A-DPSCs,Vector-DPSCs and their co-cultured cells with MC3T3-E1 were cultured for osteogenic induction and differentiation.Osteogenic gene expression was detected by alkaline phosphatase staining,alizarin red staining and real-time quantitative RT-PCR to evaluate osteogenic differentiation ability. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Sema3A mRNA and protein expression levels in Sema3A-DPSCs were significantly up-regulated.The level of secreted Sema3A in cell supernatant was up-regulated.(2)Compared with the Vector-DPSCs,mRNA expressions of osteogenic genes alkaline phosphatase,Runt-related transcription factor 2,osteocalcin and Sp7 transcription factors in Sema3A-DPSCs were up-regulated;the activity of alkaline phosphatase was enhanced,and the formation of mineralized nodules increased.(3)There were no obvious differences in proliferation between Sema3A-DPSCs and Vector-DPSCs.(4)Compared with MC3T3-E1/Vector-DPSCs co-culture system,the expression of MC3T3-E1 osteogenic genes was up-regulated,and the total alkaline phosphatase activity was enhanced and more mineralized nodules were formed in the MC3T3-E1/Sema3A-DPSCs co-culture system.(5)The results suggest that overexpression of Sema3A can enhance the osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs.Overexpression of Sema3A in DPSCs can promote osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 in the DPSCs/MC3T3-E1 co-culture system.

Objective:
To explore the cross sectional and longitudinal relationships between children s 24 h movement behaviors and health related quality of life (HRQoL), and to reflect the impact of reallocating time between different activities on HRQoL scores using the isotemporal substitution analysis method, so as to provide a scientific basis for promoting children s health.
Methods:
In May 2022, a method combining cluster random sampling and convenience sampling was employed to conduct baseline survey on 397 children aged 7-10 from three primary schools in Wanzhou District of Chongqing. Children s movement behaviors were monitored using accelerometers, and their HRQoL was assessed through a health related quality of life questionnaire for children.The same questionnaire was used for assessing HRQoL of children on the follow up survery after on year(May 2023). A component based multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between children s 24 h movement behaviors and HRQoL.
Results:
The average daily times for children s light physical activity (LPA), moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sleep (SP), and sedentary behavior (SB) were (331.5±41.7,61.9±28.6,561.7±78.4,484.9±67.3) min, respectively. The mean baseline HRQoL score was (69.5±6.6), and it was (67.6±5.1) after one year. MVPA and SP were positively correlated with HRQoL at baseline( β =0.59,0.38) and after one year ( β =0.48, 0.39), while SB was negatively correlated with HRQoL at baseline and after one year ( β =-0.25, -0.53) ( P <0.05). An isotemporal substitution analysis showed that replacing 30 minutes of LPA or SB with MVPA increased the HRQoL scores by 1.81 and 2.79 at baseline, and by 1.37 and 2.12 after one year. Additionally, replacing SB with SP increased the HRQoL scores by 0.61 at baseline and by 0.39 after one year ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Children s 24 h movement behaviors, particularly physical activity (PA) and sleep, are closely related to children s HRQoL. Appropriate measures should be taken to increase children s PA and SP time and reduce SB time to improve children s HRQoL.

ObjectiveBased on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS), network pharmacology and pharmacodynamics, to investigate the pharmacodynamic material basis and mechanism of Hei Xiaoyaosan in improving learning and memory ability of insomnia rats. MethodUPLC-Q-TOF-MS was used to characterize the chemical constituents of Hei Xiaoyaosan. Network pharmacology was applied to construct the network of active ingredients-intersecting targets-pathways, and molecular docking was performed on key ingredients and core targets. Sixty 8-week-old male SD rats were selected and randomly divided into blank group, model group, Hei Xiaoyaosan low, medium, and high dose groups(3.82, 7.65, 15.30 g·kg-1), and zolpidem tartrate group(0.5 mg·kg-1), with 10 rats in each group. Except for the blank group, the insomnia model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of p-chlorophenylalanine(PCPA) for 4 consecutive days. Rats in each dosing group were administered the corresponding dose by gavage, once a day for 14 consecutive days. Morris water maze test was utilized to assess the learning and memory ability of rats, transmission electron microscopy was employed to examine the ultrastructure of hippocampal synapses, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was conducted to analyze the levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT), interleukin-6(IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in hippocampal tissues, and Western blot was performed to detect the expression levels of tumor suppressor protein p53(TP53), rat sarcoma virus(RAS), epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR), cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)-response element binding protein(CREB) binding protein(CREBBP), glycogen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β), protein kinase B1(Akt1), nitric oxide synthase 1(NOS1), phosphorylated(p)-Akt1, and p-GSK-3β in hippocampal tissues. Additionally, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) was used to assess the mRNA expression levels of TP53, RAS, EGFR, CREBBP, GSK-3β, Akt1 and NOS1. ResultA total of 176 components were identified in Hei Xiaoyaosan, mainly flavonoids, triterpene saponins, phenylpropanoids and other compounds. Network pharmacological analysis revealed that TP53, V-Ha-Ras Harvey Rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog(HRAS), neuroblastoma sarcoma viral oncogene homolog(NRAS), EGFR, CREBBP, GSK-3β, Akt1 and NOS1 were the key targets of Hei Xiaoyaosan in treating insomnia. The core targets were predominantly associated with cAMP, RAS, Ras-associated protein 1(Rap1), advanced glycation end products(AGE)/receptor for AGE(RAGE), and EGFR signaling pathways, and the key active ingredients of Hei Xiaoyaosan in treating insomnia were 8-shogaol, ligustilide F, 6-gingerol, levistilide A and senkyunolide E. Animal experiment results demonstrated that Hei Xiaoyaosan medium and high dose groups significantly increased body weight, shortened sleep latency and prolonged sleep duration in insomnia rats(P<0.01), significantly decreased escape latency and increased platform crossing frequency(P<0.01), and improved the pathological changes of hippocampal synaptic ultrastructure. Meanwhile, the two groups could significantly elevate 5-HT level, Akt1 mRNA expression, Akt1 and p-Akt1 protein expression(P<0.01), reduce inflammatory factor levels(P<0.01), and down-regulate protein expression levels of TP53, RAS, NOS1, EGFR, CREBBP, GSK-3β and p-GSK-3β(P<0.01), as well as mRNA expression levels of TP53, RAS, NOS1, EGFR, CREBBP and GSK-3β in hippocampal tissues(P<0.01). ConclusionThis study determined that the five key active ingredients(8-shogaol, ligustilide F, 6-gingerol, levistilide A and senkyunolide E) in Hei Xiaoyaosan may improve the learning and memory ability of insomnia rats by regulating signaling pathways such as cAMP, RAS, and EGFR, providing an important reference for its mechanism research and clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, mutation, therapeutic efficacy and the factors influencing the prognosis of patients with cardiac diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed. The clinical data of 11 cardiac DLBCL patients in Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2016 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. NovaSeq sequencing platform was used to detect gene mutations in 5 patients, and bioinformatics analysis of sequencing data was conducted through public database to identify the mutation sites of pathogenic genes. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the progression-free survival (PFS) and the overall survival (OS). Univariate Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the influencing factors of prognosis.Results:Among 11 patients with cardiac DLBCL, 5 were male and 6 were female. The age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] was 61 years (45 years, 70 years). All 11 patients were non-germinal center B-cell (non-GCB) type. There were 2 primary cases and 9 secondary cases; 9 cases with Ann Arbor stage of Ⅲ-Ⅳ, 10 cases with increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and 9 cases with international prognostic index (IPI) score equal to or higher than 3 scores. Among 11 patients, 9 cases received a first-line treatment based on the R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, epirubicin/doxorubicin hydrochloride liposomes, vincristine and prednisone) regimen, of which 8 patients achieved complete remission (CR), and 1 patient achieved stable disease (SD); 1 patient received IR2 (ibrutinib + rituximab + lenalidomide) treatment regimen and achieved SD, and 1 patient received supportive treatment only and achieved progression of the disease. The follow-up time was 39.9 months (25.6 months, 57.3 months). The 3-year PFS rate and 3-year OS rate of 11 patients was 54.5%, 77.9 %, respectively. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that gender, B symptoms, Ann Arbor stage, LDH level, number of extranodal lesions, IPI score were not correlated with PFS and OS of patients (all P > 0.05). Among 5 cases undergoing gene detection, KMT2D mutations and PIM1 mutations were detected in 2 cases,respectively. Interestingly, KMT2D mutations were only found in secondary cardiac DLBCL patients (2/3), while PIM1 mutations were only detected in primary cardiac DLBCL patients (2/2). Conclusions:Most cardiac DLBCL patients are non-GCB type and have advanced clinical stage, while may benefit from R-CHOP treatment regimen. PIM1 and KMT2D are the commonly mutated genes in cardiac DLBCL.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of national bloodstream infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System(BRICS)were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period,9 035 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 51 hospitals,of which 7 895(87.4%)were Enterobacteriaceae and 1 140(12.6%)were non-fermenting bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli( n=4 510,49.9%), Klebsiella pneumoniae( n=2 340,25.9%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa( n=534,5.9%), Acinetobacter baumannii complex( n=405,4.5%)and Enterobacter cloacae( n=327,3.6%). The ESBLs-producing rates in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus spp. were 47.1%(2 095/4 452),21.0%(427/2 033)and 41.1%(58/141),respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli(CREC)and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)were 1.3%(58/4 510)and 13.1%(307/2 340);62.1%(36/58)and 9.8%(30/307)of CREC and CRKP were resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination,respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)complex was 59.5%(241/405),while less than 5% of Acinetobacter baumannii complex was resistant to tigecycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA)was 18.4%(98/534). There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of main Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions,with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CRKP and CRPA( χ2=20.489 and 20.252, P<0.001). The prevalence of CREC,CRKP,CRPA,CRAB,ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were higher in provinicial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals( χ2=11.953,81.183,10.404,5.915,12.415 and 6.459, P<0.01 or <0.05),while the prevalence of CRPA was higher in economically developed regions(per capita GDP ≥ 92 059 Yuan)than that in economically less-developed regions(per capita GDP <92 059 Yuan)( χ2=6.240, P=0.012). Conclusions:The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections shows an increasing trend,and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top,while the trend of CRKP decreases continuously with time. Decreasing trends are noted in ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Low prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli and high prevalence in CRAB complex have been observed. The composition ratio and antibacterial spectrum of bloodstream infections in different regions of China are slightly different,and the proportion of main drug resistant bacteria in provincial hospitals is higher than those in municipal hospitals.
