ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanisms of Tongnao decoction (TND) in mice with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). MethodsFifty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a sham operation group, model group, TND low-dose group (1.86 g·kg-1), TND high-dose group (3.72 g·kg-1), and butylphthalide (NBP) group (10 mg·kg-1), with 10 mice in each group. A mouse model of cerebral ischemic injury was established using photochemical thrombosis (PT). The sham operation group and model group were administered an equal volume of normal saline by gavage. All five groups were treated once daily for 14 consecutive days. Behavioral tests were performed before modeling and at the end of administration. T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) was performed 3 days after modeling to evaluate the extent of injury. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe histological changes in the cerebral cortex, and Nissl staining was used to observe neuronal morphology. Cerebral blood flow in mice was detected using a laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) system. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the cell proliferation marker bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and the highly glycosylated type I transmembrane glycoprotein CD34. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt), glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), and their phosphorylation levels, as well as tight junction-related proteins zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), Occludin, and Claudin-5 in the peri-infarct tissue. Thirty-five zebrafish were randomly divided into normal control group, model group, TND low and high dose groups (0.16, 0.32 g·L-1) and NBP group (10 μmol·L-1), with 7 in each group. A stereoscopic fluorescence microscope was used to observe vascular growth in zebrafish. ResultsImaging showed that PT caused ischemia in the right cortical region. Behavioral tests indicated that, compared with the model group, the drug-treated groups reduced the error rate of irregular balance ladder climbing on the affected side and shortened the tape removal time (P<0.05). HE staining and Nissl staining showed that, compared with the model group, the drug-treated groups exhibited reduced brain tissue damage, fewer scars, and improved neuronal morphology. LSCI results showed that the drug-treated groups partially restored cerebral blood perfusion and promoted the establishment of collateral circulation compared with the model group. Immunofluorescence staining indicated that the drug-treated groups increased the positive rates of BrdU and CD34 compared with the model group (P<0.01), promoting angiogenesis. Meanwhile, compared with the model group, the drug-treated groups upregulated the expression levels of p-PI3K, p-Akt, p-GSK-3β, and tight junction proteins ZO-1, Occludin, and Claudin-5 (P<0.05,P<0.01), and increased the number of intersegmental vessels in zebrafish (P<0.05,P<0.01). ConclusionTND can promote angiogenesis around the infarct in PT model mice by regulating the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway, thereby improving cerebral ischemic injury.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics and influential factors of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in children caused by intravenous azithromycin. METHODS Clinical data of 157 DILI pediatric cases caused by intravenous azithromycin, reported by the Hengshui Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center from January 2015 to January 2025, were collected as the observation group. Clinical data of pediatric patients who received intravenous azithromycin but did not develop DILI during the same period at Hengshui People’s Hospital were collected in a 1∶1 ratio to serve as the control group. The clinical classification, severity and prognosis of DILI in pediatric patients from the observation group were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to screen the independent risk factors for DILI in children caused by intravenous azithromycin. RESULTS Among 157 DILI cases, 92 cases (58.60%) had hepatocellular injury-type, 51 cases (32.48%) had cholestatic-type, and 14 cases (8.92%) had mixed-type. DILI severity was grade 1 in 117 cases (74.52%), grade 2 in 33 cases (21.02%), and grade 3 in 7 cases (4.46%). Liver function had all recovered after stopping medication and symptomatic treatment. Combined with acetaminophen [OR=3.769, 95%CI (1.615, 8.235), P=0.021], daily dose of azithromycin>10 mg/kg [OR= 2.237, 95%CI (1.075, 4.655), P=0.034] were independent risk factors for DILI in children caused by intravenous azithromycin. CONCLUSIONS Hepatocellular injury-type and cholestatic-type are relatively common in children with DILI caused by intravenous azithromycin, with mild severity being predominant and showing a favorable prognosis. Combination with acetaminophen and daily dose>10 mg/kg are independent risk factors for azithromycin-induced DILI in children.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of the logistic fitting algorithm in improving the calculation accuracy of low-sampled cerebral CT perfusion (CTP) and to explore the application value of this algorithm in reducing irradiation doses to cerebral CTP.Methods:Image data from 28 patients who underwent cerebral CTP were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 192 regions of interest (ROIs) were circled in the basal ganglia and the main blood-supplying areas of the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries. For each ROI, the time-density curve (TDC) was plotted, from which some data points were deleted to decrease the sampling frequency to half of the conventional scan, thus simulating low-dose scanning and obtaining low-dose TDCs. The logistic model was applied to fit and complete the low-dose TDCs. The potential decrease in radiation dose was assessed. Conventional TDCs, low-dose TDCs, and TDCs processed using the logistic fitting algorithm were compared. Perfusion calculations were performed based on these TDCs, and the calculated cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow (CBF), time to peak (TTP), and mean transit time (MTT) were compared and analyzed.Results:The total radiation dose for cerebral CTP examination could be reduced to 52% of the routine dose. The mean correlation coefficient R between the TDCs derived using the logistic fitting algorithm and the conventional TDCs was 0.958 ± 0.03. The CBV, CBF, TTP, and MTT calculated using the logistic fitting algorithm were compared with the conventional result, and the coefficients of determination R2 of linear regressions were determined at 0.943, 0.942, 0.955, and 0.891, respectively, indicating extremely high consistency(ICC > 0.90). Furthermore, the R2 values determined using the logistic fitting algorithm were all higher than those derived without applying the fitting algorithm. Conclusions:Applying the logistic fitting algorithm to under-sampled cerebral CTP can yield calculation result that are highly consistent with those of conventional sampling. By combining under-sampling with the logistic algorithm, the irradiation doses can be reduced while guaranteeing the accuracy of the effective perfusion result, demonstrating high application value.

Objective:To evaluate the methodological quality and measurement characteristics of children's needs assessment tools.Methods:Literature on children's needs assessment tools was searched in Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc. The search period was from database establishment to April 2, 2023. The Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) guideline was used to evaluate the methodological quality and measurement characteristics of assessment tools, and integrate the evaluation results to form recommendations.Results:Six studies were included in total. The recommended opinions for the two evaluation tools (Needs of Children Questionnaire and Male Adolescent Health Needs-Assessment Scale) were A level. The recommended opinions for the four evaluation tools were B level. The Male Adolescent Health Needs-Assessment Scale had high cultural specificity.Conclusions:The evidence quality of the Needs of Children Questionnaire is relatively high and can be temporarily recommended for use, but other measurement characteristics still need further verification.
