ObjectiveTo investigate the migration and distribution characteristics of chemical constituents in blood and hippocampal tissues before and after vinegar processing of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride（CRPV）， and to explore the potential material basis and mechanisms underlying their regulatory effects on emotional disorders by comparing the effects of raw and vinegar-processed products of CRPV. MethodsUltra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS） was employed to characterize and identify the chemical constituents of raw and vinegar-processed products of CRPV extracts， as well as their migrating components in blood and hippocampal tissues after oral administration. Reference standards， databases， and relevant literature were utilized for compound annotation， with data processing performed using PeakView 1.2 software. Seventy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into seven groups， including the blank group， model group， diazepam group（2.5 mg·kg^-1）， raw CRPV low/high dose groups（0.6， 1.2 g·kg^-1）， and vinegar-processed CRPV low/high dose groups（0.6， 1.2 g·kg^-1）， with 10 mice per group. Except for the blank group， all other groups underwent chronic restraint stress（2 h·d^-1） for 20 d. Each drug-treated group received oral administration at the predetermined dose starting 10 d after modeling， with a total treatment duration of 10 d. Following model-based drug administration， mice underwent open-field， forced swimming， and elevated plus maze tests. After anesthesia with isoflurane， whole brains were collected from each group of mice， and hippocampi were dissected. Reactive oxygen species（ROS） level in hippocampal tissues was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe hippocampal tissue morphology. Immunofluorescence was performed to detect neuronal nuclei（NeuN） and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha（PPARα） expressions in hippocampal tissue. Then， pharmacodynamic evaluations were conducted to assess the effects of raw and vinegar-processed CRPV on mood disorders， exploring the potential mechanisms. ResultsVinegar processing caused significant changes in the chemical composition of CRPV， with 18 components showing increased relative content and 35 components showing decreased relative content. The primary changes occurred in flavonoid compounds， including 20 flavonoids， 20 flavonoid glycosides， 3 triterpenes， 3 phenolic acids， 1 alkaloid， and 6 other compounds. Twenty-one components were detected in blood（15 methoxyflavones， 4 flavonoid glycosides， and 2 phenolic acids）， with 17 shared between raw and vinegar-processed CRPV. Seven components reached hippocampal tissues（all common to both forms）. In regulating emotional disorders， Vinegar-processed CRPV exhibited superior antidepressant-like effects compared to raw products. HE staining revealed that both treatments improved hippocampal neuronal morphology， particularly in the damaged CA1 and CA3 regions. Immunofluorescence and ELISA analyses demonstrated that both raw and vinegar-processed CRPV significantly modulated NeuN and PPARα expressions in hippocampal tissue while alleviating oxidative stress induced by excessive ROS（P<0.05）. ConclusionThe chemical composition of CRPV undergoes changes after vinegar processing， but the migrating components in blood and hippocampus are primarily methoxyflavonoids. These components may serve as the potential material basis for activating the PPARα pathway， thereby negatively regulating ROS generation in the hippocampus， reducing oxidative stress， and promoting the development of NeuN-positive neurons. These findings provide experimental evidence for enhancing quality standards， pharmacodynamic material research， and active drug development of raw and vinegar-processed CRPV.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of metastasis-associated protein in colorectal cancer 1(MACC1)in the proliferation and migration of colorectal cancer.Methods The expression of MACC1 in colorectal cancer samples and para-cancerous samples from TCGA database was analyzed.The survival difference between the groups with high and low expression of MACC1 was studied.HCT116 cells were divided into Vector group(no treatment group)and MACC1 OE group(transfected with pcDNA3.1-MACC1 plasmid),si-NC group(negative control group),and si-MACC1 group(transfected with MACC1 siRNA).MTT assay was used to detect cell viability;EDU and cell clonal formation assay were used to detect cell proliferation.The migration and invasion of cells were detected by scratch and invasion assays,respectively.The mRNA expression level of cellular-mesenchymal epithelial transition factor(c-MET)was detected by RT-qPCR,and the protein expression of MACC1 and c-MET was detected by Western blotting.Colon cancer cell HCT116 transfected with MACC1 OE was inoculated subcutaneously into nude mice to establish tumor model,and the volume and weight of tumor tissue were measured.Results The expression level of MACC1 was upregulated in colorectal cancer tissue and cells(P＜0.05).Patients with high MACC1 expression had shorter overall survival than those with low MACC1 expression(P=0.003).Overexpression of MACC1 significantly increased cell viability(F=86.070,P＜0.001).Compared with those in si-NC group,the proliferation rate,migration,invasion and number of clone formation of HCT116 in si-MACC1 group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The expression of MACC1 protein was positively correlated with the expression of c-MET protein in colorectal cancer(r=0.802,P=0.002).Overexpression of MACC1 promoted the c-MET expression(t=13.532,P＜0.001),while knockdown of MACC1 inhibited the c-MET expression(t=14.626,P＜0.001).Luciferase reports assay demonstrated that c-MET was a transcriptional target of MACC1.MACC1 overexpression increased the tumor volume and weight of nude mice(P＜0.01).Conclusion MACC1 can promote the invasion and migration of colorectal cancer through hepatocyte growth factor/c-MET pathway.

Aim To explore the effect of age on myocardial remodeling after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction.Methods This study was a cross-sectional study analyzing clinical data of regular follow-up at 1,3,6 and 12 months after PCI for acute anterior myocardial infarction.According to the age of the patients,they were divided into a low age group(＜65 years old)and a high age group(≥65 years old).The differences in baseline data,biochemical indexes,coronary angiography,inflammatory factor levels,and cardiac ultrasound indexes between the two groups were analyzed,and the correlation analysis between age and inflammatory factors and the multivariate linear regression analysis of diastolic function were performed.Results A to-tal of 87 patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction were selected,aged(62±13)years,including 67 males(77.0％),43 in the low age group and 44 in the high age group.Compared with the low age group,the levels of inflam-matory factors such as C-reactive protein,interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)increased in the high age group,while ultrasound indicators such as mitral valve annulus septal e',mitral valve flow velocity E/A,and mitral valve annulus sidewall e'decreased(P＜0.05).Older age was an independent risk factor for a decrease in mitral valve flow velocity E/A,mitral valve annulus sidewall e'and mitral valve annulus septal e'in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction 6 months after PCI(P＜0.05).Conclusion Age is an independent risk factor for reduced diastolic function after PCI in acute anterior myocardial infarction,inflammatory factor such as IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α may play a role in the impaired diastolic function after PCI in age-related acute anterior myocardial infarction.

Aim To apply coronary angiography derived index of microcirculatory resistance(caIMR)to evaluate the effect of coronary microcirculation perfusion on myocardial remodeling after interventional therapy in patients with acute anterior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods This was a cross-sectional study.The analysis was performed among the patients who were hospitalized for acute anterior STEMI in the First Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January 2021 to July 2022 and received percutaneous coro-nary intervention(PCI)with regtelar follow-up visits.The patients were divided into low caIMR(L-caIMR)group,me-dium caIMR(M-caIMR)group and high caIMR(H-caIMR)group according to the results of caIMR.The results of ech-ocardiography at perioperative period,1 month,3 months,6 months and 1 year were analyzed and compared,including left atrial diameter(LAD),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),interventricular septum thickness(IVST),mitral orifice flow velocity E/A,mitral annular septum e'and mitral annular wall e',etc.The difference of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and other inflammatory factors in peripheral blood of the three groups were also compared.Results A total of 75 patients diagnosed with acute anterior STEMI were recrui-ted,including 55 males.The L-caIMR group,M-caIMR group,and H-caIMR group had 26,26 and 23 cases,respec-tively.Compared with the L-caIMR group,the LAD and IVST in the M-caIMR group and the H-caIMR group exhibited an increasing tendency one month after PCI,and the increase in the H-caIMR group was more significant than that in the M-caIMR group(P＜0.05).The ejection fraction in the H-caIMR group was notably lower than that in the L-caIMR group and the M-caIMR group at 1 and 3 months after PCI(P＜0.05).Compared with the L-caIMR group,the mitral flow velocity E/A at 6 months after PCI,and the e'at the septal side and the lateral wall of the mitral annulus at 1,3,and 6 months after PCI were significantly reduced in the M-caIMR and H-caIMR groups(P＜0.05).Compared with the L-caIMR group,the levels of IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α showed an increasing trend in the M-caIMR group and the H-caIMR group,and the increase was greater in the H-caIMR group than that in the M-caIMR group(P＜0.05).Multivariate anal-ysis revealed that caIMR was a factor influencing the levels of IL-1 β and IL-6(P＜0.05).Conclusion CMD may be involved in the process of myocardial remodeling in patients with acute anterior STEMI after PCI,in which inflammation plays a role.

This study investigated the regulatory effects of carvacrol on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced inflammatory response and endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress in bovine mammary epithe-lial cells using in vitro cell culture techniques.Western blot analysis revealed significantly elevated expression levels of NF-κB pathway-related proteins and ER stress marker proteins in mastitis samples compared to healthy mammary tissues(P＜0.05).Cells were divided into a blank control group and carvacrol(CAV)treatment groups with varying concentrations(50,100,250,500,750,1 000 μmol/L).After 24 hours of culture,cell proliferation was assessed using the CCK-8 assay.An inflammatory model was established by stimulating MAC-T cells(a bovine mammary epithelial cell line)with LPS(10 mg/L)for 12 h,followed by measurement of the transcriptional levels of inflammatory-related genes(IL-6,IL-1β,and TNFα).MAC-T cells were pretreated with low,medi-um,and high doses of CAV for 12 h before LPS stimulation.Molecular docking analysis was per-formed to examine the interaction between CAV and GRP78,a key ER stress protein.Real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR)was used to analyze the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory cyto-kines(IL-6,IL-1β,TNFα),while Western blot was employed to assess the expression levels of NF-κB pathway proteins(p-IκB,p-NF-κB p65)and ER stress-related proteins(p-PERK,p-IRE1α,ATF6,GRP78,CHOP).The results from Western blot and qPCR demonstrated that CAV alleviated LPS-induced inflammatory response and cellular damage by inhibiting the NF-κB signa-ling pathway and ER stress.

In recent years,the intensification of dairy farming has significantly improved production efficiency but has also led to a rise in the incidence of metabolic diseases.Conditions such as keto-sis,fatty liver,and hypocalcemia pose serious threats to dairy cattle health and productivity.These diseases not only profoundly affect individual physiological function but also impose considerable economic pressures and challenges on farm management.As research advances,exosomes have e-merged as a novel intercellular signaling molecule,showing unique potential in regulating dairy cattle's nutritional metabolism.Studies suggest that exosomes hold promise as biomarkers for dis-ease and can even serve as carriers for disease detection and prevention.Acting as a crucial mediator of intercellular communication,exosomes play an important role in modulating the metabolic processes of dairy cattle.This review aims to systematically explore the role of exosomes in bovine nutritional metabolism and to provide new perspectives and theoretical support for their potential as tools for diagnosing,treating,and preventing metabolic diseases in dairy cattle,thus advancing research and practice in this field.

Objective:This study applies an integrated SWOT-CLPV framework combined with stakeholder analysis to systematically assess the strengths,weaknesses,opportunities,and threats of China's disease control inspector system,while identifying its control factors,leverage points,key problems,and vulnerabilities.Methods:Drawing on literature review,policy document analysis,and expert interviews with seven public health professionals,we extracted and categorized SWOT elements.A CLPV interaction analysis was conducted alongside stakeholder mapping to evaluate internal dynamics and systemic risks.Results:The inspector system demonstrates strengths in policy innovation and medical-public health integration,with external opportunities stemming from rising public health awareness and digital health advancements.However,the system faces weak endogenous momentum,limited leverage,and prominent control constraints and problem-prone areas,especially among grassroots institutions and inspectors themselves.Cross-sectoral coordination barriers and uneven local implementation contribute to significant institutional vulnerabilities.Conclusion:To enhance implementation and resilience,the system requires capacity building for key actors,improved governance structures,incentive and evaluation reforms,and strengthened coordination mechanisms to support the sustained and adaptive development of public health supervision.
