ObjectiveAs a common lifestyle habit, alcohol consumption has a controversial association with the onset of Parkinson’s disease (PD). To demonstrate the correlation between alcohol consumption and PD and to identify associated genes, we integrated findings from clinical surveys, genomics, transcriptomics, and animal experiments. MethodsWe investigated the alcohol consumption rates (including both before and after disease onset) among 244 PD patients in China and 177 PD patients from the U.S. NHANES database. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed using genome-wide association study (GWAS) data for three alcohol-related traits and seven PD-related datasets from the MRC IEU OpenGWAS database. Transcriptomic data from the substantia nigra of PD patients were obtained from three GEO datasets (GSE7621, GSE20141, and GSE49036) to analyze RIT2 gene transcription. Finally, three groups of animal experiments (water/20% ethanol/20% liquor, with 4 C57BL/6J mice per group) were conducted to examine changes in brain RIT2 gene expression and transcriptomic profiles following alcohol consumption. ResultsThe alcohol consumption rates among PD patients in China and the U.S. (9%-18.87%) were significantly lower than the general population rates of 15%-45% in their respective regions (P<0.001), suggesting a possible negative association between alcohol consumption and PD. Subsequently, in 21 bidirectional MR analyses using 3 alcohol-related GWAS datasets and 7 PD-related GWAS datasets, the forward MR analyses (alcohol intake as exposure, PD as outcome) yielded 12 negative associations (ORIVW<1) and 9 positive associations (ORIVW>1). Among these, only two negative associations reached statistical significance: alcohol intake frequency (ORIVW=0.75, 95% CI: 0.60-0.93, P=0.010) and alcohol consumption (ORIVW=0.20, 95% CI: 0.05-0.83, P=0.026). The forward MR analysis (alcohol intake→PD) identified 235 SNPs, annotated to 316 genes, while the reverse MR analyses (PD→alcohol intake) identified 37 SNPs, annotated to 53 genes. Notably, only the RIT2 gene appeared in both the forward and reverse MR analyses (alcohol intake→PD: rs28597806, rs8083110; PD→alcohol intake: rs4588066). RIT2 is selectively expressed in the human brain (FPKM: 5.259±2.103), with low or no expression in peripheral tissues (FPKM: <1). Analysis of three human substantia nigra transcriptomic datasets revealed a decreasing trend in RIT2 gene expression in PD patients (GSE20141 array signal: 3.49±1.23 vs. 2.33±0.87, P=0.044). Animal experiments demonstrated that administration of 20% ethanol or 20% liquor (approximately 8% ethanol) stimulated a >2-fold upregulation of RIT2 gene expression in the mouse brain. Furthermore, transcriptomic sequencing revealed that the two alcohol-treated groups exhibited 96 (20% ethanol vs. water control) and 4 (20% liquor vs. water control) differentially expressed genes, respectively, indicating that low-dose alcohol consumption can achieve RIT2 upregulation while minimizing impact on other brain genes. In addition to its anti-infective effects, low-dose alcohol consumption primarily influences signaling pathways related to neurodegenerative diseases such as PD and Prion diseases. ConclusionAlcohol consumption is generally considered as a harmful lifestyle habit. However, some studies have also shown a lower risk of mortality among individuals who consume low doses of alcohol (100 g/week of ethanol) or drink occasionally. Currently, one of the research focuses on alcohol consumption is whether the human body can benefit from low-dose alcohol intake. This study provides new evidence supporting a negative association between alcohol consumption and PD, and for the first time, through MR analysis, identifies the RIT2 gene as a potential mediator of the effect of alcohol consumption on PD. RIT2 is selectively expressed in the human brain. Building upon existing evidence indicating downregulated RIT2 gene expression in PD pathogenesis, our experiments confirm that low-dose alcohol consumption can upregulate RIT2 expression in the brain. In brief, alcohol consumption may suppress the pathogenesis of PD by upregulating RIT2 expression in the substantia nigra. China is facing a serious problem of population aging. This study offers important insights for long-term PD prevention and treatment strategies, with the aim of benefiting more potential PD patients through lifestyle modifications, thereby improving the quality of life of the aging population and reducing the economic burden on healthcare.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism by which Shenfukang capsule (SFK) ameliorates renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) by regulating macrophage-fibroblast crosstalk via the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)/Yes-associated protein (YAP) pathway. METHODS RAW264.7 macrophages were induced to polarize with transforming growth factor-β 1 (TGF-β 1 ). Subsequently, a non-contact co-culture system of macrophages with renal fibroblasts NRK-49F, as well as a non-contact co-culture system of macrophages with YAP-knockdown renal fibroblasts, were established. Cells were treated with low, medium, and high concentrations (4, 8, 16 μg/mL) of SFK, as well as a STAT3 inhibitor (STAT3-I,1.64 μg/mL) and losartan potassium tablets (positive control, 0.28 μg/mL), for 48 h. After intervention, the protein and mRNA expression levels of CD86, CD163, and STAT3 in macrophages, as well as CD86, F4/80, and STAT3 mRNA, were detected. In co-cultured renal fibroblasts, the protein and mRNA expression levels of α -smooth muscle actin ( α -SMA), Vimentin, collagen type Ⅰ (Col-Ⅰ), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), and YAP were detected. In co-cultured YAP-knockdown renal fibroblasts, the protein and mRNA expression levels of α -SMA, Vimentin, and MMP-1 were also detected. RESULTS Following TGF-β 1 induction, the protein expression levels of CD86, CD163, and STAT3, as well as the mRNA expression levels of CD86, F4/80, and STAT3 in macrophages were significantly increased ( P <0.05). The conditioned medium from polarized macrophages activated renal fibroblasts, as evidenced by significantly increased protein and mRNA expression levels of α -SMA, Vimentin, Col-Ⅰ, and YAP, and significantly decreased protein and mRNA expression levels of MMP-1 in renal fibroblasts ( P <0.05). Treatment with SFK and STAT3-I reversed the changes in the above indicators, with the medium concentration SFK group showing stronge r effects on some indicators than the low and high concentration groups. In the non-contact co-culture experiment of macrophages and YAP-knockdown renal fibroblasts, there were no statistically significant differences in the protein and mRNA expression of α-SMA, Vimentin, and MMP-1 among the groups. CONCLUSIONS SFK can inhibit macrophage-renal fibroblast crosstalk by blocking the STAT3/YAP pathway, thereby delaying the progression of RIF.

Objective To explore the clinical application value of dual-source CT (DSCT) in imaging evaluation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction. Methods A total of 93 patients with ACL injury confirmed in our hospital between December 2023 and December 2024 were enrolled as the research subjects. All patients underwent arthroscopic single-bundle anatomical reconstruction of ACL, as well as DSCT and multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) examinations at 1 month after surgery. ACL scan parameters, bone tunnel aperture center, and radiation dose parameters (CT dose index volume, dose-length product, effective dose) under DSCT and MSCT were compared. At 3 months after surgery, according to postoperative curative effect by International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scoring method, patients were divided into favorable outcome group (IKDC ≥ 70 points, n = 69) and unfavorable outcome group (IKDC < 70 points, n = 24). The two groups were compared for bone tunnel angles [angle between femoral tunnel and joint line (γ angle), angle between femoral tunnel and femoral shaft (θ angle), angle between tibial tunnel and tibial shaft (α angle), angle between tibial tunnel and joint line (β angle)]. The predictive value of bone tunnel angles under DSCT in poor prognosis of patients after ACL reconstruction was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curves. Results The intraclass correlation coefficients for image quality of ACL length, ACL angle, long diameter of femoral attachment point, long diameter of tibial attachment point, Fx, Fy, Tx, Ty, γ angle, θ angle, α angle, and β angle were 0.812, 0.835, 0.823, 0.834, 0.836, 0.847, 0.841, 0.834, 0.835, and 0.864, respectively. The long diameters of femoral attachment point and tibial attachment point under DSCT were shorter than those under MSCT (P < 0.05), Tx and Ty were lower than those under MSCT (P < 0.05), CT dose index volume, dose-length product, and effective dose were lower than those under MSCT (P < 0.05). The γ angle and θ angle in the favorable outcome group were lower than those in the unfavorable outcome group (P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that after ACL reconstruction, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of γ angle, θ angle, and their combination under DSCT for predicting poor prognosis were 0.711, 0.712, and 0.783, respectively, with sensitivities of 76.81%, 79.71%, and 92.75% as well as specificities of 70.83%, 75.00%, and 62.50%, respectively (P < 0.05). Conclusion DSCT can evaluate the poor prognosis of patients after ACL reconstruction through ACL scan parameters, bone tunnel aperture center, γ angle, and θ angle, which also can effectively reduce radiation dose.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and delay in detection of reported brucellosis cases in Nangang District of Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, in order to provide a basis for improving targeted measures for brucellosis prevention and control.Methods:Data on brucellosis reported in Nangang District of Harbin City between 2018 and 2022 were obtained from the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. A descriptive analysis was conducted to outline the epidemiological status, epidemiological features, and sources of cases. Seasonal patterns of brucellosis were assessed using the concentration degree and seasonal index methods. Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the trend of delay in detection.Results:From 2018 to 2022, a total of 4 428 cases of brucellosis were reported in Nangang District, with 1 183 cases (26.72%) reported in 2018 and 528 cases (11.92%) reported in 2022. The gender ratio of the cases was 2.80 ∶ 1.00 (3 264 ∶ 1 164). Most cases occurred in individuals aged 30 to 59 years (73.19%, 3 241/4 428). Occupationally, farmers comprised the majority of cases (88.73%, 3 929/4 428), followed by homemakers/unemployed individuals (3.73%, 165/4 428), and students (2.03%, 90/4 428). Regarding case origin, 31.48% (1 394/4 428) were from Harbin City, while 64.97% (2 877/4 428) originated from other cities within Heilongjiang Province, predominantly from Suihua City (38.89%, 1 722/4 428). Additionally, 157 cases (3.55%, 157/4 428) were reported from outside Heilongjiang Province, all of which were from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Jilin Province. Brucellosis incidence showed weak seasonality ( M = 0.230), with the epidemic period spanning from March to August. During this period, seasonal indices C exceeded 100%, peaking in July (168.02%). From 2018 to 2022, the average annual delay rate in case detection was 20.14% (892/4 428). The delayed detection rates of brucellosis cases in each year were 30.68% (363/1 183), 17.86% (200/1 120), 17.23% (117/679), 12.75% (117/918), and 17.99% (95/528), respectively (average annual percentage change = - 17.52%, P = 0.090). Conclusions:Brucellosis in Nangang District of Harbin Citydemonstrates weak seasonality, with peak incidence occurring from March to August. Detection delays remain a concern, highlighting the need for sustained surveillance and the implementation of integrated, multi-sectoral prevention and control measures.
