Objective:To observe the application effect of dexmedetomidine in brain tumor resection surgery.Methods:60 patients who underwent brain tumor resection surgery in our hospital from September 2023 to September 2024 were selected,the patients were randomly divided into reference group(conventional anesthesia,n=30)and experimental group(reference group combined with dexmedetomidine,n=30)used random number table method.Neuron specific enolase(NSE),blood glucose,hemodynamic indicators[mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)]between the two groups were compared,the recovery time,intraoperative opioid use,sedative level,extubation time,and occurrence of adverse reactions between the two groups were observed.Results:Compared with the time point of intubation(T1),MAP in the reference group decreased sequentially from the time point of beginning of surgery(T2)to the time point of skull drilling(T3)(P＜0.05).Compared with the end of surgery(T5),the MAP at time point of after returning to the intensive care unit(T6)in the reference group increased(P＜0.05).MAP in the experimental group decreased sequentially from the time point of before anesthesia induction(T0)to T2(P＜0.05).Compared with the time point of T5,MAP in the experimental group at time point of T6 increased(P＜0.05).MAP in the experimental group at time points of T1-T3 and T6 was lower than that in the reference group(P＜0.05).HR in the reference group at time points of T0～T2 first increased and then decreased(P＜0.05),Compared with HR at time point of T5,HR at time point of T6 in the reference group increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the time point of T1,HR in the experimental group decreased first and then increased from the time point of T2 to T3(P＜0.05).Compared with HR at time point of T5,HR at time point of T6 in the experimental group increased(P＜0.05).HR in the experimental group at time points of T1 to after tumor resection(T4)and T6 were lower than those in the reference group(P＜0.05).NSE levels increased in both groups at time points of T5,but the experimental group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Compared with the blood glucose at time point of T0 in the same group,the blood glucose at time point of T5 in the reference group increased,while the blood glucose at time point of T5 in the experimental group decreased,and the blood glucose at time point of T5 in the experimental group was lower than that in the reference group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the recovery time,extubation time,and postoperative Ramsay score between the two groups(P＞0.05),but the dosage of remifentanil in the experimental group was lower than that in the reference group(P＜0.05).The overall incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was lower than that in the reference group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The application of dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing brain tumor resection surgery can stabilize the hemodynamics of patients,inhibit the stress response,and significantly reduce the dosage of remifentanil and the risk of adverse reactions.It has good sedative effect and safety.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the protective effect and possible related mechanisms of Sophora subprostrate polysaccharide(SSP)on intestinal epithelial cell injury in-duced by Tert-Butyl hydroperoxide(TBHP).The optimal dose of TBHP and the safe concentra-tion range of SSP were determined using the MTT method.In this study,IPEC-J2 cells were divid-ed into five groups:the control group,the model group,the SSPL group,the SSPM group and the SSPH group,and the cell morphology,cell survival rate and LDH release rate were observed and measured.The content of intracellular reactive ROS was observed and determined by DCFH-DA staining.The content of MDA in the supernatant and the antioxidant index of cells were determined by the reagent kit.Transcriptome technology was employed to analyze the potential mechanisms by which SSP mitigates oxidative damage in IPEC-J2 cells.The results showed that treatment with 625 μmol/L TBHP for 2 h significantly reduced the activity of IPEC-J2 cells,markedly increased LDH release(P＜0.05),inhibited CAT superoxide SOD and glutathione GPX activities(P＜0.05),and significantly elevated MDA and ROS levels(P＜0.05).Compared to the model group,after SSP treatment,intracellular ROS levels were significantly reduced(P＜0.05),while CAT,SOD,and GPX activities were significantly increased(P＜0.05),and MDA content and LDH re-lease were significantly decreased(P＜0.05)in a dose-dependent manner.Transcriptome analysis revealed that TBHP treatment significantly altered the transcriptional profiles of IPEC-J2 cells,while SSP treatment could restore the transcriptional profiles of the damaged cells to a certain ex-tent.Gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)indicated that the differentially expressed genes between the CC and TBHP groups were significantly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation,ribosome,and other pathways.Meanwhile,the differentially expressed genes between the SSP and TBHP groups were mainly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation,ap-optosis,glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism,and other pathways.These results suggest that TBHP may disrupt normal oxidative respiration in IPEC-J2 cells by affecting oxidative phospho-rylation and interfering with metabolism pathways involving glycine,serine,and threonine,leading to oxidative damage in intestinal epithelial cells.Conversely,SSP treatment may potentially restore oxidative phosphorylation processes,alleviate lysosomal damage,reduce cell apoptosis,and miti-gate oxidative damage in intestinal epithelial cells through modulation of oxidative phosphoryla-tion,apoptosis,and lysosomal pathways.This discovery provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of SSP in alleviating oxidative damage in the porcine intestinal tract.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of Huayu Tongluo Formula （化瘀通络方， HTF） in patients with mid-stage diabetic kidney disease of blood stasis syndrome and explore its potential mechanisms. MethodsA multi-center， randomized， double-blind， placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted. Ninety patients of mid-stage diabetic kidney disease of blood stasis syndrome were divided into a control group of 46 cases and a treatment group of 44 cases. Both groups received conventional western medicine treatment， the treatment group additionally taking HTF， while the control group taking a placebo of the formula. The treatment was administered once daily for 24 weeks. The primary outcomes included 24-hour urine total protein （24 h-UTP）， serum albumin （Alb）， glycated hemoglobin （HbA1c）， and serum creatinine （Scr）.The secondary outcomes included changes in levels of endothelin-1 （ET-1）， nitric oxide （NO）， vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome scores before and after treatment. Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on TCM syndrome scores and overall disease outcomes. Adverse reactions and endpoint events were recorded. ResultsIn the treatment group after treatment， 24 h-UTP， ET-1， and VEGF levels significantly decreased （P＜0.05）， Alb and NO levels significantly increased （P＜0.05）； while the TCM syndrome scores for edema， lumbar pain， numbness of limbs， dark purple lips， dark purple tongue or purpura， and thin， rough pulse all significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. In the control group， no significant changes were observed in any of the indicators after treatment （P＞0.05）.Compared with the control group， the treatment group showed significant reductions in 24 h-UTP， ET-1， and VEGF levels， and increases in Alb and NO levels （P＜0.05）. The TCM syndrome scores for edema， lumbar pain， dark purple tongue or purpura， and thin， rough pulse were all lower in the treatment group than in the control group （P＜0.05）. The total effective rate of TCM syndrome in the treatment group was 59.09% （26/44）， and the overall clinical effective rate was 45.45% （20/44）. In the control group， these rates were 15.22% （7/46） and 8.7% （4/46）， respectively， with the treatment group showing significantly better outcomes （P＜0.05）. A total of 7 adverse events occurred across both groups， with no significant difference （P＞0.05）. No endpoint events occurred during the study. ConclusionOn the basis of conventional treatment of Western medicine， HTF can further reduce urinary protein levels and improve clinical symptoms in patients with mid-stage diabetic kidney disease of blood stasis syndrome. The mechanism may be related to its effects on endothelial function.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To explore the value of paediatric age-adjusted shock index（SIPA）in early identification of septic shock in children，and to evaluate the relationship between SIPA and disease severity and prognosis.Methods:The infected children admitted to the department of critical care medicine of the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from May 2023 to July 2024 were collected. Dynamic assessment was performed 0 to 6 hours after admission. Patients diagnosed with sepsis without septic shock were classified as the sepsis group and those diagnosed with sepsis with septic shock were classified as the septic shock group. According to whether the blood pressure of the children decreased，they were divided into two groups：compensated septic shock group and decompensated septic shock group. The difference of SIPA among the three groups was analyzed，and the predictive value of SIPA on case fatality rate，lactate level，pediatric critical illness score，ventilator utilization rate and length of hospital stay were analyzed.Results:Among 203 children with sepsis，112 were males and 91 were females. There were 146 cases in the sepsis group，37 cases in the compensated septic shock group and 20 cases in the decompensated septic shock group. There was no significant difference between the three groups in gender（ P>0.05），but there was a statistically significant difference in age（ χ 2=32.905， P<0.001）. There was no significant difference in age between the sepsis group and the compensated septic shock group（ P>0.05）. The age of sepsis group and decompensated septic shock group，compensated septic shock group and decompensated septic shock group were statistically significant（ χ 2=29.431， P<0.001； χ 2=19.764， P=0.001）. The proportion of increased SIPA was statistically different among the three groups，with both the compensated septic shock group and the decompensated septic shock group being higher than the sepsis group（ χ2=20.383， P<0.001； χ2=33.600， P<0.001）. The decompensated septic shock group was higher than the compensated septic shock group（ χ2=6.555， P=0.01）. SIPA was correlated with case fatality rate，lactate level，pediatric critical illness score，ventilator use rate and length of stay of the children，with statistically significant differences（ P<0.05）. Conclusion:The increase of SIPA can be used for the early identification of septic shock in children，and it has a certain early warning value for the prognosis assessment of sepsis and septic shock.

Liquiritigenin(LG)is a flavone of pharmacological importance,however,its application potential is severely limited due to its poor water solubility.LG could be disassociated slightly in water to form phenolate anion,therefore,better solubilization effect is expected by inclusion with cationic cyclodextrins(CCDs).In this work,four kinds of CCDs modified with amino groups at the primary face were synthesized,and their solid inclusion complexes with LG were successfully prepared by preparing their saturated solutions.The formation of the solid inclusion complexes was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD),and their supramolecular binding behavior in solution was studied using multiple techniques.A 1∶1 inclusion stoichiometry of inclusion complexation was defined using Job plot by ultraviolet-visible(UV-vis)spectroscopy,and their binding stability constants(Ks)were determined as 2862.77,3494.70,6521.85 and 9599.48 L/mol using UV-vis spectroscopic titration,far more superior to that of nativeβ-CD(Ks=236.79 L/mol).This indicated that the amino side chains on CCDs could actively participate in the inclusion complexation through anion-cation interactions,significantly strengthening the host-guest binding between CCDs and LG.The inclusion modes were further elucidated based on proton and two-dimensional rotating-frame overhauser enhancement spectroscopy(2D-ROESY)nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)experiments and molecular docking.Water solubility of LG was dramatically promoted up to 4.9 mg/mL,which was 70-fold higher than that of native LG.This study could draw inspiration for the binding and solubilization of phenols such as flavones by design of cationic macrocyclic molecules.

Exosomal circular RNA(circRNAs)are pivotal in cancer biology,and tumor pathophysiology.These stable,non-coding RNAs encapsulated in exosomes participated in cancer progression,tumor growth,metas-tasis,drug sensitivity and the tumor microenvironment(TME).Their presence in bodily fluids positions them as potential non-invasive biomarkers,revealing the molecular dynamics of cancers.Research in exosomal circRNAs is reshaping our understanding of neoplastic intercellular communication.Exploiting the natural properties of exosomes for targeted drug delivery and disrupting circRNA-mediated pro-tumorigenic signaling can develop new treatment modalities.Therefore,ongoing exploration of exoso-mal circRNAs in cancer research is poised to revolutionize clinical management of cancer.This emerging field offers hope for significant breakthroughs in cancer care.This review underscores the critical role of exosomal circRNAs in cancer biology and drug resistance,highlighting their potential as non-invasive biomarkers and therapeutic targets that could transform the clinical management of cancer.
