Alzheimer's disease(AD)is the most common cause of cognitive impairment in the elderly,and the formation of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles(NFT)due to the hyperphos-phorylation of Tau is one of its important pathological features.Compared to β-amyloid,the hyperphosphorylation of Tau and the resulting NFT are more closely related to the decline in cognitive ability.This review focuses on anti-AD drugs targeting Tau,em-phasizing the latest progress in inhibiting the hyperphosphoryla-tion of Tau protein,alleviating the aggregation of Tau protein,re-ducing the cytoskeletal damage caused by the hyperphosphoryla-tion of Tau protein by stabilizing microtubules,and immunothera-py,in the hope of providing new insights into drug research for AD and related cognitive disorders associated with Tau protein.

Objective:To explore the genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in different types of tuberculosis and its association with clinical features, providing evidence for precise diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis. Methods:This cross-sectional study included 103 cases of tuberculosis (38 with simple pulmonary tuberculosis, 43 with tuberculous pleurisy, and 22 with pulmonary combined with extrapulmonary tuberculosis) from Shenzhen Third People′s Hospital from 2015 to 2018. Paired bacterial strains from lung and pleural effusion/extrapulmonary sites were collected. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was used for drug resistance prediction, and genetic diversity (π value) was calculated as well as differential genes screening. Statistical analysis included paired t-tests and χ2 tests to compare clinical, bacteriological and genetic diversity features among groups.Results:The simple pulmonary tuberculosis group exhibited significantly higher rates of retreatment (71.7%, 27/38), cavitation (70.4%, 19/27), and multidrug-resistant or rifampicin-resistant (MDR/RR) (60.5%, 23/38) compared to the tuberculous pleurisy group (retreatment 11.9%, 5/42; cavitation 11.9%, 5/42; MDR/RR 16.3%, 7/43) and extrapulmonary tuberculosis group (retreatment 9.1%, 2/22; cavitation 18.2%, 4/22; MDR/RR 13.6%, 3/22) ( P<0.05). The overall π values of the MTB strain genomes in lung [(5.94±3.93)×10 ?5], pleural effusion[(6.22±3.51)×10 ?5], and extrapulmonary tissues [(5.83±3.54)×10 ?5] showed no significant differences ( H=0.10, P=0.94). Differential gene diversity analysis revealed that π value alternating genes related to respiration and intermediate metabolism were prominently high [tuberculous pleurisy 32.4% (11/34) and extrapulmonary tuberculosis groups 31.4% (32/102)], while cell wall-associated genes dominated in the simple pulmonary tuberculosis group (42.9%, 6/14). Drug resistance profiles and mutation spectra were identical across isolates from different sites within the same patient. Conclusion:WGS revealed the MTB diversity among different types of tuberculosis. Difference between pulmonary and extrapulmonary environments may impel the adaptive alternations of the bacterial strains to maintain survival with higher overall genome stability. Drug resistance testing of lung-derived isolates may provide references on extrapulmonary tuberculosis treatment.

Objective:To explore the value of amide proton transfer weighted imaging (APTWI) combined with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression in predicting pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study. Clinicopathological [estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), HER2, Ki-67 status, and molecular subtypes] and imaging data were retrospectively analyzed in 100 female patients who had invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast confirmed pathologically by preoperative puncture in the Henan Cancer Hospital from May 2023 to May 2024. All patients underwent MRI, including enhanced MRI, APTWI, and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) before NAC. The reference enhanced MRI images were segmented into lesions using the threshold extraction method, and the three-dimensional region of interest within the tumor was automatically outlined by the software and replicated in the amide proton transfer map generated by APTWI and the apparent diffuse coefficient (ADC) map generated by DWI. The magnetization transfer ratio asymmetry (MTRasym) value and the ADC value were measured, respectively. Tumor response to NAC was assessed using the Miller-Payne grading system, where Grade 5 indicated pCR and Grades 1-4 were classified as non-pCR. Independent sample t-tests and χ2 tests were used to compare clinical pathological and imaging parameters between pCR and non-pCR patients. Statistically significant variables were included in multivariate logistic regression to identify independent predictors of pCR. The diagnostic performance of individual and combined indicators for pCR was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves and the area under the curve (AUC). DeLong′s test was used to compare AUCs. Results:There were 39 pCR and 61 non-pCR patients. Significant differences were observed between the pCR and non-pCR patients in molecular subtypes, ER, PR, HER2, and Ki-67 statuses ( P<0.05). Pre-treatment MTRasym values were significantly higher in the pCR patients compared to the non-pCR patients ( P=0.005), whereas ADC values showed no statistical difference ( P=0.372). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed HER2 positivity ( OR=5.87, 95% CI 1.99-17.30, P=0.001) and MTRasym values>2.61% (OR=4.39, 95% CI 1.37-14.08, P=0.013) was independent predictors of pCR after NAC. HER2 positivity combined with MTRasym value>2.61% predicted pCR after NAC in breast cancer with AUC of 0.819, which was superior to HER2 positivity and MTRasym value alone in predicting efficacy ( Z=3.91, P<0.001; Z=2.63, P=0.009). Conclusions:The MTRasym value of pre-treatment APTWI is valuable in predicting pCR after NAC in breast cancer. APTWI combined with HER2 expression status can further enhance the predictive efficacy.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of Xuanfei Baidu Decoction (XFBD) in a mouse model of dampness-heat toxin pneumonia. By exploring how XFBD exerts its effects, we seek to deepen our understanding of its role in treating pulmonary diseases and to address the current knowledge gap regarding its mechanisms of action, thereby supporting its clinical application. Methods: Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) were employed to analyze the chemical constituents of XFBD. The protective effects of XFBD were evaluated using a dampness-heat toxin-induced mouse model, established through dampness-heat exposure and HCoV-229E infection. XFBD was administered orally, followed by assessments including lung index measurement, micro-CT imaging, viral load quantification, cytokine analysis, and histological evaluation via hematoxylin-eosin staining. Proteomics and single-cell transcriptomic analyses were conducted to explore the potential mechanisms underlying XFBD’s pharmacological effects. A cellular model of HCoV-229E infection was developed to investigate changes in the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. Molecular docking and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) experiments confirmed the strong binding affinity between key XFBD components and PKA. Finally, PKA activators and inhibitors were applied in vitro to validate these mechanistic findings. Results: In vivo studies demonstrated that XFBD significantly reduced the lung index, improved the structural integrity of lung and tongue tissues, and decreased levels of proinflammatory mediators, including IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α. Proteomic and single-cell transcriptomic analyses showed that the differentially expressed proteins after XFBD treatment were primarily associated with inflammatory responses and immune regulation. The cAMP/PKA signaling pathway was identified as a key mechanism underlying these therapeutic effects. Notably, Western blot, ELISA, molecular docking, and SPR analyses confirmed that XFBD elevated cAMP levels and p-PKA expression, thereby activating the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway in vitro. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that XFBD significantly alleviates symptoms in mice with dampness-heat toxin pneumonia. Its therapeutic effects are mediated, at least in part, through activation of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. These findings provide compelling evidence that XFBD is an effective herbal remedy against HCoV-229E infection.

Objective By comparing the prevalence and mortality of dementia among rural people in Xi'an in 1997 and 2014 to clarify the epidemiological changes of dementia among rural people in the city over 17 years.Methods In 1997 and 2014,people aged 55 and above in villages in Xi'an were selected by random cluster sampling method,and face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted by combining centralized and home visits.Dementia and its subtypes were diagnosed by"the three-step method";the changes of dementia prevalence and mortality were compared between the two surveys.Results The prevalence of dementia among rural residents aged 55 and above in Xi'an was 3.49％in 1997,with age-gender standardized prevalence of 2.08％.In 2014,the prevalence of dementia was 4.25％,with age-gender standardized prevalence of 2.78％.Over the 17 years,the prevalence of dementia increased by 1.79 times(OR=1.79,95％CI:1.20-2.65,P=0.004),with a 1.9-fold increase in females and a 1.67-fold increase in males.The mortality of dementia patients was 61.76‰ and age-gender standardized mortality was 60.20‰ in 1997,while the mortality was 35.71‰ and age-gender standardized mortality was 34.18‰ in 2014.The mortality of dementia decreased by 33％over the 17 years(HR=0.33,95％CI:0.15-0.74,P=0.007).Conclusion The prevalence of dementia in rural areas of Xi'an increased significantly over the 17 years,but the mortality rate decreased,and this trend was more obvious in women.

Objective To investigate the relationship between baseline serum lipid levels and cognitive decline after a 4-year follow-up in a cohort of middle-aged and elderly people in rural Xi'an.Methods The data were collected from the cognitive impairment cohort of middle-aged and elderly people in rural areas of Xi'an,Shaanxi Province.The cohort selected the population ≥40 years old in two villages of Huyi District,Xi'an,as the research subjects.The baseline survey was completed from October 2014 to March 2015,and two follow-up visits were conducted in 2016 and 2018.The Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)was applied to assess the overall cognitive function.The MMSE score dropping between the 2014 and 2018(△MMSE)≥2 points were defined as cognitive decline.Baseline lipid levels[total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-c),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-c)]were converted into three classification data based on 25％quantile and 75％quantile[Q1(≤25％)vs.Q2-Q3(25％-75％)vs.Q4(≥75％)],and using the Q2-Q3 group as the reference group.The relationship between serum lipid levels and cognitive decline at baseline was analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Interaction effect analysis and subgroup analysis were made to investigate the interaction effect of age(＜65 years vs.≥65 years)on the relationship between serum lipid and cognitive decline.Results There were 1 349 participants with complete baseline data,and 235(17.42％)were ≥65 years old at baseline;230 cases(17.05％)had cognitive decline.No significant association was found between TC,TG,LDL-c,HDL-c and cognitive decline in subgroups＜65 years of age.In the subgroup ≥65 years of age,the Q1(≤4.37 mmol/L)group of TC was not significantly associated with the risk of cognitive decline compared with the Q2-Q3(4.37-5.61 mmol/L)group of TC,but the Q,(≥5.61 mmol/L)group of TC was significantly associated withan increased risk of cognitive decline(OR=2.519,95％CI:1.217-5.214,P=0.013).Age had an interactive effect on the relationship between the Q4 group of TC and cognitive decline(OR=2.202,95％CI:1.111-4.363,P=0.024).Compared with the Q2-Q3(1.03-2.01 mmol/L)group of TG,the Q,(≤ 1.03 mmol/L)group of TG was associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline(OR=0.318,95％CI:0.120-0.838,P=0.020).Age had an interactive effect on the relationship between the Q1 group of TG and cognitive decline(OR=0.344,95％CI:0.132-0.896,P=0.029).However,there was no significant correlation between the Q4(≥2.01 mmol/L)group of TG and the risk of cognitive decline.Compared with the Q2-Q3(2.70-3.81 mmol/L)group of LDL-c,the Q1(≤ 2.70 mmol/L)group of LDL-c was not significantly associated with the risk of cognitive decline,but the Q4(≥3.81 mmol/L)group of LDL-c had significant association with an increased risk of cognitive decline(OR=2.367,95％CI:1.143-4.900,P=0.020).Age had an interactive effect on the relationship between the Q4 group of LDL-c and cognitive decline(OR=2.237,95％CI:1.134-4.415,P=0.020).No significant association was found between HDL-c and cognitive decline.Conclusion No significant association was found between HDL-c and cognitive decline at baseline.The relationship of TC,TG and LDL-c with cognitive decline was affected by age.Only in participants over 65 years old,the risk of cognitive decline was higher in those with high baseline levels of TC and LDL-c.Those with low baseline serum TG levels had a lower risk of cognitive decline.
