ObjectiveTo decipher the mechanism by which Zuoguiwan （ZGW） treat hyperthyroidism in rats with kidney-Yin deficiency based on the dopamine receptor D4 （DRD4）/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate （NADPH） oxidase 4 （NOX4） signaling pathway. MethodsThe rat model of kidney-Yin deficiency was induced by unilateral intramuscular injection of dexamethasone （0.35 mg·kg^-1）. After successful modeling， the rats were randomized into model， methimazole （positive control， 5 mg·kg^-1）， low-， medium-， and high-dose （1.85， 3.70， 7.40 g·kg^-1， respectively） ZGW， and normal control groups. After 21 days of continuous gavage， the behavioral indexes and body weight changes of rats were evaluated. The pathological changes of the renal tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The serum levels of thyroid hormones ［triiodothyronine （T₃）， thyroxine （T₄）， thyroid-stimulating hormone （TSH）］， renal function indexes ［serum creatine （Scr） and blood urea nitrogen （BUN）］， energy metabolism markers ［cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP） and cyclic guanosine monophosphate （cGMP）］， and oxidative stress-related factors ［superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， and NADPH）］ were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Western blot was employed to analyze the expression of DRD4， NOX4， mitochondrial respiratory chain complex proteins ［NADH：ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit S4 （NDUFS4） and cytochrome C oxidase subunit 4 （COX4）］， and inflammation-related protein ［tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）］ pathway in the renal tissue. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed mental malaise， body weight decreases （P<0.01）， inflammatory cell infiltration in the renal tissue， a few residual parotid glands in the thyroid， elevations in serum levels of T₃， T₄， Scr， BUN， cAMP， cAMP/cGMP， MDA， and NADPH （P<0.01）， down-regulation in protein levels of TSH， SOD， and DRD4 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and up-regulation in expression of NOX4， p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK， and inflammatory factors （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， ZGW increased the body weight （P<0.05， P<0.01）， reduced the infiltration of renal interstitial inflammatory cells， restored the thyroid structure and follicle size， lowered the serum levels of T₃， T₄， Scr， BUN， cAMP， cAMP/cGMP， MDA and NADPH （P<0.05， P<0.01）， up-regulated the expression of TSH， SOD and DRD4 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and down-regulated the expression of NOX4， p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK， and inflammatory factors （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Moreover， high-dose ZGW outperformed methimazole （P<0.05）. ConclusionBy activating DRD4， ZGW can inhibit the expression of NOX4 mediated by the p38 MAPK pathway， reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory response， thereby ameliorating the pathological state of hyperthyroidism due to kidney-Yin deficiency. This study provides new molecular mechanism support for the clinical application of ZGW.

ObjectiveThe malaria parasites remodel the host erythrocyte structure by exporting parasite proteins that interact with the membrane skeleton proteins of red blood cells (RBCs), facilitating their intracellular survival and pathogenicity. Skeleton-binding protein 1 (SBP1) is a conserved exported protein across Plasmodium species. In Plasmodium falciparum, SBP1 has been reported to interact with erythrocyte membrane skeleton proteins 4.1R and spectrin, while its contribution to erythrocyte remodeling and parasite virulence in Plasmodium berghei (Pb) remains unclear. This study aims to determine whether PbSBP1 associates with the host cytoskeletal protein 4.1R and to investigate its role in the remodeling of host RBCs and the pathogenicity of Plasmodium berghei. MethodsIn Plasmodium berghei, the relationship between PbSBP1 and the erythrocyte cytoskeletal protein 4.1R was examined using co-immunoprecipitation. A Pbsbp1 gene knockout mutant of Plasmodium berghei (Pbsbp1∆) was generated based on the principle of double crossover homologous recombination. The deformability of erythrocytes infected with Pbsbp1∆ parasites was assessed using microfluidic methods. Microchannels with an array of cylindrical pillars were used to detect modifications in infected RBC deformability. The infected RBCs were squashed between the rows and recovered between the columns and the transit velocity (μm/s) of infected RBCs travelling through the microchannel was recorded. The component of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton junctional complex, tropomodulin (TMOD), was fluorescently labeled, and the cytoskeletal network of infected erythrocytes was imaged using super-resolution stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) to analyze ultrastructural changes in the cytoskeleton of wild-type (WT) and Pbsbp1∆-infected erythrocytes. Actin-based junctional complexes were displayed as individual clusters by the labeled TMOD in the STORM images, and the cluster densities and distances between adjacent clusters of infected RBCs were calculated. Additionally, rodent malaria models (BALB/c mice) and experimental cerebral malaria models (C57BL/6 mice) were employed to monitor the growth of Pbsbp1∆ and WT parasites during the intraerythrocytic stage and their capacity to induce cerebral malaria in mice. ResultsPbSBP1 may participate in the remodeling of infected erythrocytes through direct or indirect interaction with the erythrocyte cytoskeletal protein 4.1R. Microfluidic assays revealed that the deformability of erythrocytes infected with Pbsbp1∆ parasites was significantly enhanced compared to those infected with WT parasites. STORM imaging further demonstrated that the ultrastructure of the erythrocyte cytoskeleton in Pbsbp1∆-infected cells was altered relative to that in WT-infected erythrocytes. The distances between nearest neighbors of clusters had a tendency to increase while the cluster densities were decreased in Pbsbp1∆-infected RBCs compared to WT-infected RBCs. Subsequent phenotypic analysis indicated that the growth rate of Pbsbp1∆ parasites during the intraerythrocytic stage was significantly slower than that of WT parasites, and their ability to induce cerebral malaria in mice was also attenuated. These findings suggest that PbSBP1 is involved in the remodeling of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton, likely through its direct or indirect interaction with protein 4.1R, thereby regulating the deformability of infected erythrocytes and influencing the pathogenicity of the blood-stage parasites. ConclusionThis study establishes a role for PbSBP1 in host erythrocyte remodeling and parasite virulence, providing new research strategies for the prevention and treatment of malaria.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics as well as molecular epidemiological features of resis-tance genes and virulence genes of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)infection in a region,and provide scientific basis for the prevention,treatment,and epidemiological study of CRKP.Methods 60 non-repeti-tive CRKP strains isolated clinically from Puyang Oilfield General Hospital from November 2023 to September 2024 were analyzed retrospectively.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using VITEK 2 Compact automa-tic microbial analyzer,K-B disk diffusion method,and micro-broth dilution method.Mucus phenotype of bacterial strains was identified by string test.Carbapenemase was detected by carbapenemase inhibitor enhancement assay.Molecular features,such as multi-locus sequence typing(MLST),capsule serotypes,resistance genes,virulence genes,plasmid replication types of strains,as well as the genetic and evolutionary relationships of strains were de-termined by whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.Results CRKP strains were mainly isolated from elderly male hospitalized patients.Specimens were mostly from sputum(71.67％),mainly distributed in depart-ment of respiratory medicine(30.00％).All strains were highly resistant to multiple commonly used antimicrobial agents,only with high susceptibility rates to cefotaxime/avibactam,tigecycline,and polymyxin B(＞60.00％).Two CRKP strains were positive for string test.95.00％of the strains produced class A serine carbapenemase.All strains carried fluoroquinolone,phosphomycin,β-lactam,and aminoglycoside resistance genes;enterobactin,Esche-richia coli common pilus(ECP),and outer membrane protein-related virulence genes;as well as plasmids from the IncF plasmid family.Carbapenemase gene was mainly blaKPC-2(95.00％),and the major capsule serotype was KL19(43.33％).In MLST,ST11(51.67％)was the dominant clone group,and ST11-KL62(n=12)was the dominant subtype.Conclusion CRKP in this hospital is highly resistant to multiple commonly used antimicrobial agents,and its mechanism of resistance to carbapenems is mainly related to the presence of blaKPC-2 resistance gene.All strains have coexisting multiple resistance genes and virulence genes,and show a phenomenon of multi-clone transmission.ST11 is the dominant clone group,and ST11-KL62 is the main prevalent subclone type.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of active warming versus conventional warming during the perioperative period of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) for femoral neck fracture in elderly patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 312 elderly patients with femoral neck fracture who underwent robot-assisted THA at Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi ′an Jiaotong University from January 2024 to January 2025, including 196 males and 116 females, aged 65-89 years [(77.0±7.3)years]. Among them, 156 patients received standardized thermal management (active warming group), involving the administration of pre-warmed intravenous fluids and use of an inflatable warming blanket preoperatively, combined application of a forced-air warming system and warmed fluids intraoperatively, and transfer to a temperature-controlled ward combined with a foot circulatory compression device postoperatively. The other 156 patients received conventional warming with cotton quilts (conventional warming group), involving no administration of pre-warmed intravenous fluids preoperatively, use of warmed fluids intraoperatively, and transfer to a standard ward without the use of a foot circulatory compression device postoperatively. Core body temperature was compared between the two groups at 30 minutes preoperatively, 30 minutes intraoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and at 1 hour, 1 day, 5 days, and 7 days postoperatively. Changes in the coagulation function, including prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) were assessed at 1 day preoperatively and at 1, 5, and 7 days postoperatively. Length of hospital stay and incidence of postoperative complications (incision infection, deep vein thrombosis, cardiac complications, and unplanned reoperations) were also recorded. Results:The core body temperature at 30 minutes intraoperatively, immediately postoperatively and at 1 hour postoperatively was (36.77±0.17)℃, (36.29±0.14)℃, and (36.35±0.14)℃ in the active warming group, significantly higher than (36.12±0.27)℃, (35.49±0.25)℃, and (35.67±0.29)℃ in the conventional warming group ( P<0.01). No significant differences in body temperature were observed between the two groups at 30 minutes preoperatively, at 1, 5, or 7 days postoperatively ( P>0.05). At 1 day postoperatively, the PT, TT and APTT were (8.5±1.3)seconds, (10.0±0.9)seconds and (24.8±2.3)seconds, significantly lower than (9.7±1.3)seconds, (12.1±1.5)seconds and (29.2±2.7)seconds in the conventional warming group ( P<0.01). There were no significant differences in PT, TT, APTT or CRP levels between the two groups at 1 day preoperatively or at 5 and 7 days postoperatively ( P>0.05). The CRP level at 1 day postoperatively was (8.0±3.0)mg/L in the active warming group, significantly lower than (13.5±3.2)mg/L in the conventional warming group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in CRP between the two groups at 1 day preoperatively or at 5 and 7 days postoperatively ( P>0.05). The average length of hospital stay was (12.2±1.4)days in the active warming group, significantly shorter than (14.9±1.4)days in the conventional warming group ( P<0.01). The perioperative complication rate was 6.4% (10/156) in the active warming group, significantly lower than 17.9% (28/156) in the conventional warming group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:For elderly patients with femoral neck fracture operated via robot-assisted THA, active warming during the perioperative period can more effectively maintain intraoperative normothermia, improve early postoperative coagulation function, reduce inflammatory response, shorten the length of hospital stay, and decrease complication rate when compared with conventional warming.

The pregnant woman was 30 years old,G2P0.This singleton pregnancy at 22 weeks of gestation was screened for second-trimester ultrasound malformations,suggesting fetal aortic valve atresia,aortic stenosis with reverse blood flow,mitral valve atresia,and markedly enlarged left ventricle,which was considered for the diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome(HLHS).The pregnancy was terminated at our hospital and subsequently underwent genetic testing with results of heterozygous variants in the NOTCH1 gene,which can cause aortic valve disease type 1.The findings of the fetal autopsy were aortic valve atresia,mitral valve widening and thickening,and left ventricular enlargement with myocardial infarction.This report focuses on the ultrasound characteristics of HLHS with left ventricular enlargement and its hemodynamic changes in order to improve clinicians'understanding of the progressive changes in the disease phenotype of HLHS.

Objective:To investigate the iodine nutrition status of children and pregnant women in different water iodine areas of Shandong Province.Methods:From February to September 2023, Leling City (iodine deficient), Gaotang County (moderate iodine), and Liangshan County (high iodine) in different water iodine areas of Shandong Province were selected as survey sites. One village was selected from each county (city) in five directions: east, west, south, north, and center. Forty children aged 8 to 10 years (balanced in age, half male and half female) and 20 pregnant women were selected as survey subjects in each village. Random urine samples of children and pregnant women were collected to test for urinary iodine. Meanwhile, thyroid examinations were conducted on children to calculate the goiter rate.Results:A total of 600 urine samples of children were tested, with a median urinary iodine level of 246.0 μg/L. The median urinary iodine levels of children in iodine deficient, moderate iodine and high iodine areas were 219.6, 208.0 and 446.0 μg/L, respectively ( n = 200, 200, 200). The median urinary iodine level of children in high iodine area was significantly higher than that in iodine deficient and moderate iodine areas ( P < 0.05). A total of 600 children underwent thyroid examinations, with a goiter rate of 5.8% (35/600). The goiter rate of children in iodine deficient, moderate iodine, and high iodine areas were 4.0% (8/200), 1.0% (2/200), and 12.5% (25/200), respectively. The goiter rate of children in high iodine area was significantly higher than that in iodine deficient and moderate iodine areas ( P < 0.05). A total of 247 urine samples of pregnant women were tested, with a median urinary iodine level of 158.2 μg/L. The median urinary iodine levels of pregnant women in iodine deficient, moderate iodine, and high iodine areas were 75.3, 175.2 and 321.2 μg/L, respectively ( n = 98, 84, 65). The median urinary iodine level of pregnant women in high iodine area was significantly higher than that in iodine deficient and moderate iodine areas, and the median urinary iodine level of pregnant women in moderate iodine area was significantly higher than that in iodine deficient area ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:The urinary iodine levels of children and pregnant women and the goiter rate of children in high iodine area of Shandong Province are significantly increased, and water iodine may be a key factor affecting the iodine nutrition status of the population.

Objective:To observe and analyze the multimodal imaging characteristics of fundus in patients with idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) syndrome.Methods:A retrospective study. From June 2015 to March 2024, 6 patients (11 eyes) diagnosed with IRVAN syndrome in Shaanxi Eye Hospital were included in the study. All patients underwent examinations including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), color fundus photography, fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA). At the same time, FFA combined with indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) was performed in 6 eyes. Follow-up ranged from 2 to 23 months. Multimodal imaging features were analyzed retrospectively. The number of retinal aneurysms detected by FFA, ICGA, and OCTA was compared by using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.Results:In 11 eyes of 6 cases, a total of 1 male (2 eyes) and 5 females (9 eyes) with the mean age of (31.67±12.91) years were included in this cohort. Color fundus photography showed clear optic disc boundaries in 5 eyes, optic disc aneurysms in 8 eyes, retinal aneurysms in 4 eyes; exudation in 9 eyes, localized around aneurysms. On OCT, vitreous high reflective dots and epiretinal membrane on optic disc in all 11 eyes, and macular epiretinal membrane in 3 eyes were revealed. FFA showed optic disc aneurysms and retinal aneurysms in 9 eyes, late optic disc hyperfluorescence in 11 eyes; local arterial leakage in 3 eyes, local venous leakage in 8 eyes, non-perfusion area in all 11 eyes, and retina neovascularization in 3 eyes. Optic disc aneurysms and retinal aneurysms in 5 eyes (total 18 aneurysms) on ICGA were shown compared with optic disc aneurysms in 4 eyes and retinal aneurysms in 5 eyes (total 13 aneurysms) on simultaneous FFA. OCTA revealed neovascularization on the optic disc in 2 eyes, optic disc aneurysmsin 8 eyes, retinal aneurysms in 1 eye (total 2 aneurysms); while on simultaneous FFA, optic disc aneurysms in 8 eyes and retinal aneurysms in 3 eyes (total 5 aneurysms) with no optic disc were displayed. During OCTA follow-up, new aneurysms appeared at the bifurcation of arteries with an increasing angle between them and non-perfusion area enlargement on FFA. Compared with FFA and ICGA, OCTA in detecting the number of aneurysms had no statistics significance ( Z=-1.342, -1.342; P>0.05). Conclusion:Multimodal imaging can demonstrate characteristics of IRVAN syndrome, ICGA provides superior visualization of optic disc and retinal aneurysms, while OCTA confirms optic disc neovascularization and enlargement of artery angles at arterial bifurcations.
