The red blood cell membrane is an important place for signaling,material transport,energy exchange and other life activities inside and outside the erythrocyte,and its function is mainly realized by the protein complexes on the membrane sur-face.Glycoproteins,integrins,signaling proteins,channel pro-teins and other proteins that constitute the erythrocyte membrane protein complexes interact with each other through direct physi-cal effects or regulatory factor-mediated mechanisms,playing a role in regulating oxygen transport,maintaining cellular morphol-ogy and stability,participating in the regulation of signaling,as well as supporting the cytoskeleton and other functions.Hemo-globin is the mediator of oxygen transport and delivery in blood erythrocytes,and regulating its conformational changes can in-crease the efficiency of oxygen supply to alleviate hypoxia in plateau hypoxia.This review describes the composition,func-tion,interaction mechanism,and adaptive regulation of hemoglo-bin to hypoxia in erythrocyte membrane protein complexes,with the aim of providing new reference for the prevention of hypoxia symptoms,the formulation of therapeutic regimens and the devel-opment of anti-hypoxia drugs.

Aim To investigate the effects of SAHA on the expression of P-gp and the pharmacokinetic pa-rameters of its substrate phenytoin sodium in rats under hypoxic environments.Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into the normioxic group,the hypoxic model group,and the low-,medium-and high-dose vorinostat(SAHA)groups.Liver tissues were col-lected,and the expression levels of P-gp and HDAC5 were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blot.The morphological changes of liver tissues were ob-served by HE staining.Following intragastric adminis-tration of 50 mg·kg-1 phenytoin sodium to each group,blood samples were collected,and the plasma concentration of phenytoin sodium was determined u-sing UFLC-MS/MS to calculate pharmacokinetic pa-rameters.Results Compared with the normoxic group,the expression of HDAC5 in the liver tissues of hypoxia model rats increased,while the expression of P-gp decreased.After SAHA treatment,HDAC5 expression decreased,and P-gp expression increased.Among the SAHA groups,the medium-dose group showed the most significant effect,and HE staining re-sults indicated that this concentration did not cause damage to rat liver tissues.Compared with the normox-ic group,the AUC,Cmax,and T1/2 of phenytoin sodium in hypoxia model rats were significantly raised.After administration of the medium dose of SAHA,the AUC,Cmax,MRT,and T1/2 were significantly reduced,while CLZ/r was significantly increased.Conclusions Un-der hypoxic environments,the expression of P-gp in rat liver tissue is significantly downregulated,leading to increased systemic exposure of phenytoin,reduced clearance,and consequently elevated blood concentra-tions,raising the risk of central nervous system toxici-ty.In contrast,SAHA suppresses HDAC5 expression,thereby activating P-gp transcription and enhancing its efflux function.This results in decreased systemic ex-posure and improved clearance of phenytoin,signifi-cantly reducing drug accumulation in body and ulti-mately lowering the risk of adverse effects.

Aim To investigate the effects of m6A demethylase ALKBH5 on cardiomyocytes pyroptosis in mice with myocardial infarction(MI).Methods The MI model of left anterior descending coronary artery ligation surgery was established by knocking down ALKBH5 using adeno-associated virus,and the hypox-ia model of mouse cardiomyocytes(HL-1)was estab-lished by knocking down small interfering RNA.The effects of ALKBH5 on the pyroptosis of MI mice and hypoxic HL-1 cells were observed.Subsequently,mechanism studies were conducted at the cellular lev-el,and the binding of ALKBH5 and IGF2BP2 to NL-RP3 mRNA was detected through RNA pull down and RNA immunoprecipitation(RIP)experiments.The MeRIP-qPCR method was used to determine the effects of ALKBH5 on the mRNA m6A level of NLRP3.Acti-nomycin D for RNA stability experiments were conduc-ted to detect the effects of ALKBH5 and IGF2BP2 on the stability of NLRP3 mRNA.Results Knocking down ALKBH5 in vivo and in vitro both inhibited NL-RP3 inflammasome activation and alleviated pyroptosis in MI mice and hypoxic HL-1 cells.Mechanistically,the results showed that NLRP3 mRNA could bind to ALKBH5 protein in HL-1 cells;knocking down ALK-BH5 could increase the m6A level of NLRP3 and re-duce the stability of NLRP3 mRNA;subsequently,it was confirmed that NLRP3 mRNA and IGF2BP2 pro-tein bound to each other;knocking down IGF2BP2 in-creased the mRNA stability of NLRP3.The Rescue ex-periment showed that knocking down IGF2BP2 re-versed the decrease in NLRP3 mRNA expression caused by knocking down ALKBH5.Conclusions ALKBH5 mediated m6A modification of NLRP3 pro-motes cardiomyocytes pyroptosis in mice with myocardi-al infarction.

Depression is a prevalent mental and emotional disor-der that often results in significant emotional disturbances,cog-nitive dysfunction,and memory impairments.It is characterized by a high incidence rate,a substantial disability burden,and limited therapeutic efficacy.Currently,the long-term use of medications for the treatment of depression can result in a range of adverse reactions,highlighting the urgent need to explore no-vel approaches that can effectively alleviate depressive symptoms while minimizing side effects.Curcumin,a natural polyphenolic compound derived from the rhizome of turmeric,demonstrates considerable potential in the prevention and treatment of depres-sion,owing to its diverse array of biological activities.In recent years,numerous studies have investigated the use of curcumin for the treatment of depression.This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the mechanisms of action underlying curcumin's efficacy in treating depression.Specifically,it focu-ses on its ability to improve neurotransmitter imbalances,restore neural plasticity,alleviate neural damage,mitigate dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal(HPA)axis,regulate in-flammatory factors and neuroinflammatory signaling pathways,and inhibit oxidative stress.This review is intended to offer in-sights and methodological references for basic research on curcu-min,as well as for the development of novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of depression.

In response to the new requirements for course instruction outlined in the revised training program for medical imaging program, this study integrated medical imaging technology courses based on the principle of outcome-oriented education and by leveraging self-developed digital resources, with imaging methods as the entry point. The core elements of the course teaching were re-optimized and reorganized to transcend the temporal and spatial limitations of course delivery, enabling the rational application of diverse teaching methods. This approach facilitated the integration of knowledge across three specialized courses, namely medical imaging physics, medical imaging equipment, and medical imaging examination techniques, and achieved full-dimensional and whole-process teaching evaluation. While reducing the number of hours allocated to theoretical instruction, the teaching objectives were achieved with high quality, providing a reference for the integration of digital technologies into the teaching of medical imaging and related disciplines.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of methyl rosmarinate(MR)on myocardial injury in-duced by high-altitude hypoxia and explore its underly-ing mechanisms.Methods BALB/c mice were ran-domly divided into a control group,a model group,and low-,medium-,and high-dose MR groups(25,50,and 75 mg·kg-1,respectively).Except for the control group,all other groups were exposed to a hypobaric hypoxia chamber and administered MR via intraperitoneal injection daily for three days.After the experiment,myocardial tissues were collected for he-matoxylin and eosin(HE)staining to observe morpho-logical changes.Levels of malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH),and superoxide dismutase(SOD)were measured to evaluate the anti-myocardial injury activity of MR.Network pharmacology was employed to predict drug-disease interaction targets,construct a protein-protein interaction(PPI)network,and identify core targets.Functional enrichment analysis was car-ried out using Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Ency-clopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathways.Molecular docking was used to verify the binding affini-ty of MR to core targets,and Western blot was conduc-ted to detect the expression of related proteins.Results MR significantly alleviated myocardial injury caused by high-altitude hypoxia.Network pharmacology analy-sis identified EGFR,Bcl-2,STAT3,MMP9,ESR1,and MTOR as key targets.Molecular docking con-firmed strong binding between MR and these core tar-gets.Western blot results demonstrated that MR im-proved myocardial injury by regulating the expression of STAT3,Bax,and Bcl-2 proteins.Conclusion MR may exert its protective effects on high-altitude hypoxi-a-induced myocardial injury through a multi-target mechanism.
