The aim of this study is to investigate the inhibitory effects and mechanism of three or-ganic acids,including formic acid(FA),butyric acid(BA)and lactic acid(LA),on the pathogenic-ity of Salmonella enteritidis(SE),Escherichia coli(EC)and Staphylococcus aureus(SA).The growth of pathogens was detected by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration(MIC)and Oxford Cup antimicrobial zone assays.The motility of pathogens was detected by soft agar plate method,and the biofilm of pathogens was detected by crystal violet staining.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to measure the expression levels of genes related to the patho-genicity of SE.The results showed that FA and BA significantly inhibited the growth of SE,EC and SA,and FA had a superior inhibitory effect on EC(MIC:0.25 g/L;inhibition zone:20.0 mm)and SA(MIC:0.5 g/L;inhibition zone:25.0 mm).In addition,the three organic acids significantly inhibited the motility of SE,EC and SA as accessed by swimming and swarming assays,and FA showed the best inhibition effect.Besides,the three organic acids,especially FA,markedly inhibited the biofilm formation of SE,EC and SA.Finally,our results showed that the three organic acids in-hibited the expression of the main virulence genes encoded by SPI-1(InvA,InvF,SopE,SopB,SipB,HilA and SipA),SPI-2(SopD2),pili-related genes(FliF,LpfA,SefA and FimF)and flagellum-related genes(FlhD,FliC and FliD)of SE.This study demonstrates that FA,BA,and LA significantly inhibited the growth and pathogenicity of the four pathogens,among which FA showed the most obvious effect on inhibiting the growth,motility,biofilm formation and virulence gene expression.Our study provided a theoretical basis for the application of organic acids in the field of animal husbandry.

[Objective]To investigate the effect of ivabradine,an inhibitor of peripheral HCN channel,on remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in mice.[Methods]The model of remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia was established by intravenously infusing remifentanil 2 μg/(kg·min)for 1 h through tail vein of adult male C57/BL6 mice.To observe the effect of ivabradine on remifentanil induced hyperalgesia,ivabradine(5 mg/kg)was injected subcutaneously 30 minutes before remifentanil infusion.Forty mice were equally and randomly divided into 4 groups:saline group,remifentanil group,remifentanil+vehicle group and remifentanil+ivabradine group.In each group,six mice were used to test mechanical and thermal pain thresholds at 24 h before(baseline)and on 1 d,3 d,5 d after remifentanil or saline infusion.Four mice of each group were used to detected c-Fos positive cell in spinal dorsal horn by immunofluorescence on 1 d after remifentanil or saline infusion.[Results]Compared with the saline group,a significant decrease in mechanical or thermal threshold was observed on 1 d and 3 d after remifentanil infusion(P<0.001),and the number of c-Fos positive neurons in the lumbar dorsal horn increased significantly(P<0.001).Compared with vehicle group,subcutaneous injection of ivabradine effectively inhibited remifentanil induced hyperalgesia(P<0.001)and blocked the increase of c-Fos positive neurons in the lumbar dorsal horn on 1 d following remifentanil treatment(P<0.001).[Conclusions]Ivabradine could effectively prevent remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in mice.The possible mechanism underlying this effect is that ivabradine suppresses the enhanced peripheral nociceptive input onto spinal cord neurons.

Objectives:To explore the feasibility of using hemodynamic phenotypes to guide antihypertensive treatment medication. Methods:This study prospectively included 100 hypertensive patients who received outpatient treatment at Haidian Hospital in Beijing from January 2021 to December 2021.Evaluation of blood pressure was conducted using laboratory and home blood pressure measurements,impedance cardiogram(ICG)detection was performed.Following hemodynamic phenotypes and therapeutic phenotypes were established:hyperkinetic phenotype(increased heart rate)using β-blockers,large artery phenotype(increased large artery resistance index)using calcium antagonists,peripheral vascular phenotype(increased peripheral vascular resistance index)using renin angiotensin system inhibitors,and high-volume phenotype(increased blood volume saturation)using diuretics.Patients were randomly divided into ICG group(n=50,medication treatment based on hemodynamic characteristics)and control group(n=50,treatment based on hypertension guidelines and clinical experience).Patients were followed up for 8 weeks and the blood pressure reduction amplitude and compliance rate were compare between the two groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in baseline data such as sex,age,height,weight,and hemodynamic parameters between the two groups(all P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the types of baseline medication between the two groups(P>0.05).After medication adjustment,the types of medication increased,but the difference between the two groups was still not statistically significant(P>0.05).Clinic blood pressure:After 8 weeks,decreases in systolic([8.38±27.78]mmHg,1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)and diastolic([3.94±18.15]mmHg)blood pressure were greater in the ICG group as compared to the control group(both P<0.05).The blood pressure compliance rate(<140/90 mmHg)was higher in the ICG group than that in the control group(66.0%vs.42.0%,P<0.05).Family blood pressure:after 8 weeks,the reduction in systolic([8.22±21.31]mmHg,P<0.01)and diastolic([4.76±13.88]mmHg,P<0.05)blood pressure was greater in the ICG group compared to the control group.The blood pressure compliance rate(<135/85 mmHg)was higher in the ICG group than that in the control group(70.0%vs.48.0%,P<0.05).Changes in corresponding hemodynamic parameters before and after two different antihypertensive drugs:the heart rate,arterial resistance index,peripheral vascular resistance index,and blood volume saturation of the ICG group all significantly decreased compared to baseline(all P<0.05).The control group showed a significant decrease in peripheral vascular resistance index compared to baseline(P<0.05),while there was no statistically significant difference in heart rate,large artery resistance index,and blood volume saturation compared to baseline(all P>0.05). Conclusions:By using impedance cardiogram to assess hemodynamic phenotypes and accurately guide the selection of antihypertensive drugs based on hemodynamic phenotypes,it is possible to more effectively lower blood pressure and improve blood pressure compliance.

A 30-year-old female patient with acute myeloid leukemia received chemotherapy with IA regimen of cytarabine (200 mg/m 2 once daily by IV infusion, 7 days in total) and idarubicin (10 mg/m 2 once daily by IV infusion, 3 days in total). On the 5th day of treatments, the patient developed dyspnea, with breath rate 35 times/min and finger pulse oxygen saturation 92%. She was treated with high flow oxygen inhalation, but the patient′s dyspnea was aggravated at night, with heart rate 160 times/min and breath rate 50 times/min; the finger pulse oxygen saturation decreased to 50%. Lung CT examination next day showed bilateral alveolar pulmonary edema with interstitial pulmonary edema, which was considered as non- cardiogenic pulmonary edema caused by cytarabine. Chemotherapy drugs were stopped and glucocorticoids, diuresis, lung protective ventilation, prone position ventilation, and other treatments were given, but the patient′s relevant symptoms were not improved. Ten days later, the patient developed secondary pneumothorax and died due to respiratory failure.
