ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of sitravatinib on carbon tetrachloride （CCl₄）-induced liver fibrosis in mice. MethodsA total of 30 male C57BL/6J mice， aged 8 weeks， were randomly divided into control group， CCl₄ model group， and low- （5 mg/kg）， middle- （10 mg/kg）， and high-dose （20 mg/kg） sitravatinib groups. All mice except those in the control group were given intraperitoneal injection of CCl₄ for 4 consecutive weeks to induce liver fibrosis， and since the first day of modeling， the mice in the low-， middle-， and high-dose sitravatinib groups were given sitravatinib at the corresponding dose by gavage every day. The serum levels of total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， and alanine aminotransferase （ALT） were measured for the mice in each group； hepatic hydroxyproline content was measured； HE staining， Masson staining， and Sirius Red staining were used to observe liver histopathological changes； quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were used to measure the mRNA and protein expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） and collagen type I alpha 1 （Col1a1） in liver tissue. The therapeutic effect of sitravatinib was assessed based on the above results. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group had significant increases in the levels of TC， TG， and ALT （all P<0.05）， and there were no significant differences in the levels of TC， TG， and ALT between the model group and the low-， middle-， and high-dose sitravatinib groups （all P>0.05）. Hepatic hydroxyproline content decreased after sitravatinib intervention， with a significant difference between the middle-/high-dose sitravatinib groups and the CCl₄ model group （both P<0.05）. Histopathological staining showed that the sitravatinib treatment groups had a reduction in collagen deposition， along with thinning and fragmentation of fibrous septa， and in the high-dose sitravatinib group， 4 mice had a fibrosis stage of S0—S1 and 2 mice had a fibrosis stage of S2—S3， suggesting a certain degree of alleviation of liver fibrosis degree compared with the CCl₄ model group （mainly S3—S4）. The measurement of related molecules showed that sitravatinib downregulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of α-SMA and Col1a1 （all P<0.05）. ConclusionSitravatinib can effectively alleviate CCl₄-induced liver fibrosis in mice， possibly by inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation and collagen synthesis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect and mechanism of verbenalin on mouse mononuclear macrophage leukemia cells （RAW264.7） damaged by human coronavirus （HCoV）-229E infection， thereby providing experimental evidence for its development and application. MethodsRAW264.7 macrophages were infected with different concentrations of HCoV-229E to establish a coronavirus-induced macrophage injury model using the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay for assessing cell proliferation and viability. Cells were randomly divided into four groups： normal control， verbenalin group （125 μmol·L^-1）， model group （HCoV-229E）， and HCoV-229E + verbenalin group （HCoV-229E + 125 μmol·L^-1 verbenalin）. Cell viability was measured using the CCK-8 assay， and the maximum non-toxic concentration （CC₀）， half-maximal cytotoxic concentration （CC₅₀）， half-maximal effective concentration （EC₅₀）， and selectivity index （SI） of verbenalin were calculated. Calcein/PI double staining was used to assess cell viability and cytotoxicity， and JC-1 staining was applied to evaluate changes in mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP）. mito-Keima adenovirus labeling was used to assess mitophagy levels in each group. ResultsA macrophage infection model was successfully established by infecting RAW264.7 cells with the original concentration of HCoV-229E for 36 h. The CC₀ of verbenalin was 125 μmol·L^-1. The CC₅₀ was 448.25 μmol·L^-1. The EC₅₀ against HCoV-229E-infected cells was 46.28 μmol·L^-1， and the SI was 9.68. Compared with the normal group， the model group showed significantly reduced cell survival rate （P<0.01）， increased cell death rate （P<0.01）， decreased MMP （P<0.01）， and suppressed mitophagy （P<0.01）. In contrast， verbenalin treatment significantly improved cell survival rate （P<0.01）， reduced cell death rate （P<0.01）， alleviated MMP loss （P<0.01）， and enhanced mitophagy levels （P<0.01） compared with the model group. ConclusionVerbenalin can enhance the survival rate of macrophages following HCoV-229E infection. The underlying mechanism may be associated with the activation of mitophagy， maintenance of MMP stability， and alleviation of mitochondrial damage.

MethodsFifty-six guinea pigs were randomly divided into seven groups according to their body weight， namely the normal group， the model group， the positive control group， the high-dose group， medium-dose group， and low-dose group of Jidesheng Sheyao tablets （1.92， 0.96， 0.48 g·d^-1）， and the group treated with oral administration combined with topical application of Jidesheng Sheyao tablets （0.96 g·d^-1 + 1.2 g·kg^-1·d^-1）. The skin on the back of the guinea pigs in each group was depilated and then abraded with sandpaper. Except for the normal group， 200 μL of VZV solution was dropped on the damaged parts of the back of the guinea pigs in the other groups， and the infection lasted for 2 consecutive days. The drug administration started 2 hours after the infection on the first day and lasted for 7 days. The pathological changes of the back of the guinea pigs in each group were observed every day starting from the second day after the infection. On the 7^th day， the guinea pigs were sacrificed by CO₂ anesthesia. The locally infected skin was taken， and the viral DNA nucleic acid load was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. The pathological histology examination was carried out after hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Seventy rats were randomly divided into seven groups according to their body weight， namely the normal group， the model group， the positive control group， the high-dose group， medium-dose group， and low-dose group of Jidesheng Sheyao tablets （1.08， 0.54， 0.27 g·d^-1）， and the group treated with oral administration combined with topical application of Jidesheng Sheyao tablets （0.54 g·d^-1 + 1.2 g·kg^-1·d^-1）. The rats in each group （except the normal group） were subcutaneously inoculated with 50 μL of VZV suspension between the web of the first and second fingers of the left forelimb. The skin on the back of the rats was depilated， and the drug administration started 2 hours after the infection and lasted for 10 days. The mechanical withdrawal threshold of the paws of the rats was detected by a Von Frey filament algometer before inoculation and on the 1^st， 3^rd， 6^th， 8^th， and 10^th days after inoculation， and the thermal withdrawal reflex latency of the paws of the rats was detected by a hot and cold plate algometer. On the 10^th day after the virus inoculation， the rats were anesthetized after the behavioral examination， and the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord and spinal cord segments were taken. The contents of substance P （SP）， neurokinin （NK）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and interleukin-1β （IL-1β） in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord and spinal cord were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. ResultsCompared with those in the normal group， the guinea pigs in the model group had obvious skin herpes lesions （P<0.01）. The viral nucleic acid load was high （P<0.01）， and there were disorganized subcutaneous cellular structures and obvious infiltration of inflammatory cells and cell necrosis （P<0.01）. The mechanical withdrawal threshold of the paws and the thermal withdrawal reflex latency of the paws of the rats were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and the contents of NK， SP， TNF-α， and IL-1β in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord and spinal cord of the rats were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the high-dose and medium-dose groups of topical administration of Jidesheng Sheyao tablets and the group of oral administration combined with topical application could significantly improve the lesions such as skin redness and herpes of the guinea pigs caused by VZV infection （P<0.01）， reduce the VZV viral nucleic acid load in the skin tissues of the guinea pigs （P<0.01）， alleviate the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration and skin cell necrosis in the skin tissue （P<0.05）， significantly increase the mechanical withdrawal threshold of the paws and the thermal withdrawal reflex latency of the paws of the rats （P<0.05）， and decrease the contents of NK， SP， TNF-α， and IL-1β in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord and spinal cord of the rats （P<0.01）. ConclusionJidesheng Sheyao tablets demonstrated significant therapeutic effects on VZV-induced skin infections and postherpetic neuralgia （PHN）， providing a promising candidate for the prevention and treatment of VZV infections.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the pharmacological effects of verbenalin on both in vitro and in vivo infection models of human coronavirus 229E （HCoV-229E） and to preliminarily explore the antiviral mechanism of verbenalin through proteomic analysis. MethodsIn vitro， the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） for cell proliferation and viability assessment was used to establish a model of HCoV-229E-induced injury in human lung adenocarcinoma cells（A549）. A549 cells were divided into five groups： normal group， model group， and three verbenalin treatment groups （125， 62.5， and 31.25 μmol·L^-1）. The cell protective activity of verbenalin was evaluated through cell viability assay and immunofluorescence staining. In vivo， 30 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal group， model group， chloroquine group， and high-dose， low-dose verbenalin groups （40 and 20 mg·kg^-1）， with six mice per group. An HCoV-229E-induced mouse lung injury model was established to evaluate the therapeutic effects of verbenalin. Lung injury was assessed by detecting the lung index and lung inhibition rate. The severity of pulmonary inflammation cytokines was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， while the lung morphology and structure were analyzed by micro-computed tomography （Micro-CT）. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining was used to assess histopathological changes in lung tissue. Additionally， four-dimensional data-independent acquisition （4D-DIA） proteomics was employed to preliminarily explore the potential mechanisms of verbenalin in treating HCoV-229E-induced lung injury in mice， through differential protein expression screening， functional annotation， enrichment analysis， and protein-protein interaction network analysis. ResultsThe A549 cells were infected with HCoV-229E at the original viral titer for 36 hours to establish an in vitro infection model. The maximum non-toxic concentration of verbenalin was 125 μmol·L^-1， and the half-maximal cytotoxic concentration （CC₅₀） was 288.8 μmol·L^-1. Compared with the normal group， the model group showed a significant decrease in cell viability （P<0.01）， a significant increase in the proportion of dead cells （P<0.01）， mitochondrial damage， and a significant reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential （P<0.01）. After treatment with different concentrations of verbenalin （125， 62.5， and 31.25 μmol·L^-1）， cell viability was significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the proportion of dead cells was reduced （P<0.01）， with mitochondrial membrane potential restored （P<0.01）. In vivo experiments further confirmed the therapeutic effect of verbenalin on HCoV-229E-infected mice. Compared to the normal group， the model group showed a significant increase in the lung index （P<0.01）， severe lung tissue injury， lung volume enlargement， and a significant increase in the expression of inflammatory cytokines， including interleukin-6 （IL-6） and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） （P<0.01）. In contrast， in the verbenalin treatment groups， these pathological changes were significantly improved， with a reduction in the lung index （P<0.01）， alleviation of lung tissue injury， reduced lung volume enlargement， and a significant decrease in inflammatory cytokine expression （P<0.01）. Proteomics analysis revealed that， compared to the normal group， the model group showed enrichment in several antiviral immune-related signaling pathways， including the nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway （P<0.05）. Compared to the model group， the verbenalin treatment group showed enrichment in several signaling pathways related to inflammatory response and autophagy （P<0.05）， suggesting that verbenalin may exert its antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects by regulating these pathways. ConclusionVerbenalin demonstrates significant therapeutic effects in both in vitro and in vivo HCoV-229E infection models， with its mechanism likely related to the NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） inflammasome pathway and mitochondrial autophagy.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of combined extracranial-intracranial revascularization on elderly patients with symptomatic chronic internal carotid artery occlusion, and to evaluate its safety and efficacy in the elderly population.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 35 elderly patients(aged ≥60 years)who underwent combined extracranial-intracranial revascularization for symptomatic chronic internal carotid artery occlusion in the Department of Neurosurgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2017 to June 2022.The clinical data during hospitalization, as well as the follow-up data within 2 years after operation, were collected and analyzed.Results:A total of 35 cases of combined extracranial-intracranial revascularization were performed on 35 patients.The age at surgery ranged from 60 to 74 years(mean age 65.5 ± 4.2 years). The incidence of reversible neurological deficits within 2 weeks postoperation was 34.3%, and the incidence of focal cerebral infarction within 30 days postoperation was 5.7%.The patency rate of the bridging vessel was 97.1% at 3 months postoperation., and the incidence of focal cerebral infarction during the follow-up period of 30 days to 2 years postoperation was 2.9%.At 3 months after surgery, computed tomography perfusion imaging showed that regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF), regional cerebral blood volume(rCBV), regional mean transit time(rMTT), and regional time to peak(rTTP)were improved compared with those before surgery.The modified Rankin scale score decreased compared to preoperative values, while the Montreal Cognitive Assessment showed improvement in cognitive function compared to preoperative levels(all P<0.05). From 6 months to 1-year postoperation, cerebral angiography showed that 38.7% of the patients had neovascularization of Matsushima grade A or grade B. No cases of cerebral hemorrhage or death was observed during the treatment and follow-up. Conclusions:Combined extracranial-intracranial revascularization is safe and effective for elderly patients with symptomatic chronic internal carotid artery occlusion, which can improve the patient′s hemodynamic disorders, prevent infarction events, and improve the patients′ neurological function and cognitive ability.

Objective To characterize the features of patent foramen ovale(PFO)-related cryptogenic stroke using diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI)and to investigate the correlation between infarct size and cardiac CT characteristics of PFO.Methods A retrospective,consecutive cohort study was conducted on acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to Neurology Department of Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 2022 to September 2024.Patients were categorized into PFO group,arterio-arterial embolism(AAE)group,and atrial fibrillation(AF)group based on etiological diagnosis.Baseline clinical data,including age,height,body mass index,admission National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score,history of old cerebral infarction,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,coronary heart disease,dyslipidemia,and smoking history were collected and compared.All patients underwent head MR within 24 h of admission.DWI was used to analyze and compare infarct characteristics across the three groups,including lesion number(single or multiple),location(cortical+subcortical,deep white matter,cortical+subcortical+deep white matter,cerebellum+thalamus+brainstem),size(≥15 mm or＜15 mm,based on maximum transverse diameter;for multiple lesions,if any lesion had a maximum diameter≥15 mm,it was categorized as≥15 mm),infarcted vascular territory(anterior,posterior,or both circulations),and specific arterial supply(anterior cerebral artery,middle cerebral artery,posterior cerebral artery,basilar artery,posterior inferior cerebellar artery,superior cerebellar artery,anterior choroidal artery,or multiple arteries).Patients in the PFO group additionally underwent cardiac CT to measure PFO-related parameters:tunnel length,width,height,septum secundum thickness,and fossa ovalis length.Spearman correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between infarct size and PFO cardiac CT features.Results A total of 232 acute ischemic stroke patients were included(mean age[57±17]years,ranged 19-86 years;141 males,91 females),comprising 116 in the PFO group,36 in the AAE group,and 80 in the AF group.(1)The proportion of males in the PFO group was higher than that in the AF group,it was lower than that in the AAE group.The age,body mass index and proportions of patients with hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia,coronary heart disease were all lower than those in the other two groups(both P＜0.016 7),while other baseline characteristics showed no significant differences(all P＞0.05).(2)The PFO group exhibited a higher proportion of multiple infarcts compared to the AAE group(83.62％[97/116]vs.61.11％[22/36],P＜0.016 7),but a lower proportion than the AF group(83.62％[97/116]vs.98.75％[79/80],P＜0.016 7).The PFO group also showed a significantly higher proportion of cortical+subcortical infarcts(47.41％[55/116]vs.11.11％[4/36]and 6.25％[5/80],respectively,both P＜0.016 7)and infarcts with a maximum diameter＜15 mm compared to both AAE and AF groups(66.38％[77/116]vs.36.11％[13/36]and 11.25％[9/80],respectively,both P＜0.016 7).Furthermore,the PFO group had a lower proportion of anterior circulation infarcts(27.59％[32/116]vs.69.44％[25/36]in AAE group and 67.50％[54/80]in AF group,both P＜0.016 7),but a higher proportion of posterior circulation infarcts(62.07％[72/116]vs.16.67％[6/36]in AAE group and 8.75％[7/80]in AF group,both P＜0.016 7).Specifically,middle cerebral artery infarcts were less common in the PFO group(18.97％[22/116]vs.66.67％[24/36]in AAE group and 52.50％[42/80]in AF group,both P＜0.016 7),while posterior cerebral artery infarcts were more common(48.28％[56/116]vs.8.33％[3/36]in AAE group and 8.75％[7/80]in AF group,both P＜0.016 7).(3)Spearman correlation analysis revealed that infarct size was negatively correlated with PFO tunnel length(rs=-0.429,P=0.029),fossa ovalis length(rs=-0.408,P=0.038),and septum secundum thickness(rs=-0.525,P=0.006),but not correlated with PFO width or height(both P＞0.05).Conclusions PFO-related cryptogenic stroke is predominantly characterized by multiple small infarcts,primarily located in the cortical+subcortical regions and posterior circulation.Infarct size was found to be negatively correlated with PFO tunnel length,fossa ovalis length,and septum secundum thickness.Comprehensive assessment integrating DWI and cardiac CT features may facilitate the identification of PFO-related stroke.These findings warrant further validation through larger,prospective studies.
