BACKGROUND:Ca2+expression in astrocytes has been found to be closely related to cognitive function,and the Ca2+signaling pathway regulated by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors(IP3R2)and ryanodine receptor(RYR)2 receptors has become a hot spot in the study of cognitive disorder-related diseases. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of Ca2+signals mediated by IP3R2 and RYR2 in hippocampal astrocytes in animal models of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning,and to explore the possible pathogenesis of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning. METHODS:C57BL mice with qualified cognitive function were selected by Morris water maze experiment and randomly divided into control group and experimental group.An animal model of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning was established by static carbon monoxide inhalation in the experimental group,and the same amount of air was inhaled in the control group.Behavioral and neuronal changes,astrocyte specific marker glial fibrillary acidic protein,IP3R2,RYR2 receptor and Ca2+concentration in astrocytes of the two groups were detected using Morris water maze,hematoxylin-eosin staining,western blot,immunofluorescence double labeling and Ca2+fluorescence probe at 21 days after modeling. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the Morris water maze,the escape latency of the experimental group was significantly longer than that of the control group(P<0.05).Hematoxylin-eosin staining results showed that in the experimental group,the number of hippocampal pyramidal cells decreased,the cell structure was disordered,and the nucleus was broken and dissolved.Immunofluorescence results showed that IP3R2 and RYR2 were co-expressed with glial fibrillary acidic protein in the hippocampus,and the expressions of IP3R2,RYR2 and glial fibrillary acidic protein were up-regulated in the hippocampus of the experimental group(P<0.05).Western blot analysis showed that the expressions of IP3R2,RYR2,and glial fibrillary acidic protein in the hippocampus of the experimental group were increased(P<0.05).Ca2+concentration in hippocampal astrocytes increased significantly in the experimental group(P<0.05).To conclude,astrocytes may affect Ca2+signals by mediating IP3R2 and RYR2 receptors,then impair the cognitive function of mice with carbon monoxide poisoning,and eventually lead to delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning.

Objective:To analyze the conventional ultrasound(CUS)and contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)features of hepatic lymphoma,and to investigate the value of CEUS in the diagnosis of hepatic lymphoma.Methods:The images of 39 patients(39 lesions)with hepatic lymphoma pathologically confirmed by surgery and puncture from March 2012 to July 2024 at Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed. Evaluations of CUS included the echogenicity,morphology,color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI)situation,evaluations of CEUS included enhancement type,enhancement degree compared to the peripheral normal liver parenchyma and time to enhancement.Results:In the 39 lesions,hypoechoic lesions were detected in 31(79.49%,31/39)patients on CUS. CDFI detected linear or branched color flow signals inside the lesions in 21(53.85%,21/39)lesions,and peripheral color flow signals around the lesions in 3 lesions,while arterial flow signals were detected in 16 of them,with a resistance index of 0.50~0.77(0.67 ± 0.02). In addition,signs of non-compacted normal blood vessels passing through the lesions were detected in 5 lesions. After injection of contrast medium,39 lesions showed different degrees of enhancement,mainly showed entirety homogeneous enhancement,during the arterial phase of CEUS,34(87.18%,34/39)lesions showed fast enhancement,and when the enhancement reached the peak,26(66.67%,26/39)lesions revealed hyper-enhancement,showing “fast progression”. There were 38(97.44%,38/39)lesions in the portal and delayed phases showed “fast forward”.Conclusions:CUS and CEUS can provide some value in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hepatic lymphoma.

Objective To explore the value of high-frequency ultrasound in the detection of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma and displaying lesion characteristics. Methods A total of 38 paitients with hepatocellular carcinoma satellite lesions within 40 mm of subcutaneous tissue were underwent low-frequency (1-5 MHz) and high-frequency (6-9 MHz) ultrasound. Detection rates and ultrasonic features were compared. Results High-frequency grayscale ultrasound had a higher detection rate (71.1% vs. 36.8%, P<0.001). Subgroup analysis showed higher detection rates with chemotherapy history (88.9% vs. 33.3%, P=0.002), fatty liver (71.9% vs 31.3%, P<0.001) or superficial lesion (within 20 mm, 76.5% vs 41.2%, P=0.031). High-frequency ultrasound also showed clearer margins (P=0.004) and more arterial-phase rim enhancement (P=0.007). Conclusions 6-9 MHz ultrasound detects metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, especially superficial lesions, more effectively than 1-5 MHz ultrasound and better visualizes characteristics.
