BACKGROUND:In recent years,the development of liver organoids has made it a hot spot in the field of international liver disease research,but there is still no article on the bibliometric analysis of liver organoids. OBJECTIVE:To explore the hot trends in liver organoids in the last 20 years based on bibliometrics and visualization analysis. METHODS:We searched the articles about liver organoids in the Web of Science Core Collection from January 1,2002 to November 12,2022.Origin,Office,and CiteSpace software were used for bibliometrics and visualization analysis.We statistically analyzed the number of annually published articles,countries,institutions,authors,journals,and keywords of the articles by generating charts. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of articles,citation frequency,institutions and personnel involved in the research about liver organoids showed an overall upward trend in the last 20 years,indicating that the field was growing rapidly and attention was increasing.The USA had published the most papers and had the strongest influence in this field.Although it had invested a lot of time and energy,the number of papers published by a single research institution in the USA was not the highest among many research institutions.China was second only to the USA in the number of publications,with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Fudan University leading the list.Utrecht University in the Netherlands was the institution with the most publications.Clevers H was the author with the highest number of articles.The article with the highest co-citation frequency was"Long-term culture of genome-stable bipotent stem cells from adult human liver".The main fields of study for liver organoids were Molecular Science,Biology,and Immunology.The most frequently occurring keywords were stem cell,in vitro,and culture.The research hotspots in the liver organoids field were mainly focused on in vitro stem cell three-dimensional culture,differentiation and gene expression.

OBJECTIVE To extract the-SH active fractions(SHF)from Bubali Cornu(water buffalo horn)and evaluate its an-tipyretic activity.METHODS SHF was extracted from Bubali Cornu by SDS-DTT,and the content of native thiols(-SH)was deter-mined by Ellman reagent method.SHF was identified based on nano LC-MS/MS technology.Evaluation of antipyretic activity of SHF was based on LPS-induced fever rat model.The levels of PGE2,IL-1β,and TNF-α in plasma as well as the levels of cAMP,PGE2,and TNF-α in the hypothalamus were measured by ELISA kits.An untargeted metabolomics approach was used to further investigate the intervention of SHF on plasma metabolites in febrile rats.RESULTS SDS-DTT could effectively extract SHF from Bubali Cornu,in which the main components were type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ keratins and keratin-associated proteins,which were rich in Cys,and the ratio of-SH to protein in SHF was increased about 20 times more than that of traditional decoction.SHF could significantly decrease(P＜0.01)the body temperature which lasted for 4.5 hours.SHF could also significantly decrease the levels of PGE2,IL-1β,TNF-α and cAMP in plasma and hypothalamic.A total of 137 potentially differential metabolites were identified from plasma samples of the control and model groups,of which 31 metabolites could be dialed back after SHF administration,including lysophosphatidic acid,phosphatidyli-nositol,phosphatidic acid,triglycerides,phosphatidylcholine and so on,which were mainly involved in the glycerophospholipid meta-bolic pathway.CONCLUSION SHF has precise antipyretic effect,and the dosage of 1/10 of the aqueous extract can show its com-parable antipyretic effect,which provides the direction and basis for the basic research on the antipyretic efficacy of Bubali Cornu.

ObjectiveTo investigate the anti-convulsant activity of goat horn and its effect on the main neurotransmitters in the brain of model mice. MethodA total of 120 mice were randomly divided into a blank group，a model group，a positive drug group （estazolam， 1 mg·kg^-1）， a Saigae Tataricae Cornu （STC， 0.2 g·kg^-1） group， and low- （1.25 g·kg^-1） and high-dose （2.5 g·kg^-1） goat horn groups. Drugs were administered by gavage once at 10 mL·kg^-1. Those in the blank group and the model group were given the same volume of 0.2% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose （CMC-Na）. The mice underwent threshold electrical stimulation once 2 h after administration. Ankylosing convulsion in the hind limbs of mice was used as the index to calculate the recovery period， convulsion rate， and mortality of ankylosing convulsion. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS） was established to analyze the changes in the content of the main neurotransmitters in the brain tissues of mice. ResultTwo hours after intragastric administration of goat horn powder to mice， the recovery period of convulsion could be shortened and the convulsion rate and mortality were reduced （P<0.05）. In terms of anti-convulsant effect， the groups were ranked as follows： high-dose goat horn group > STC group > low-dose goat horn group. UPLC-MS/MS analysis showed that compared with the results in the model group， goat horn powder and STC decreased the content of glutamic acid and aspartic acid （P<0.05） and increased the content of glycine， γ-aminobutyric acid， and 5-hydroxytryptamine （P<0.05）. ConclusionThe results showed that goat horn had a significant anti-convulsant effect on the electroshock-induced convulsion mouse model， and the underlying mechanism was presumably attributed to the improvement of the development of convulsion by regulating the changes in neurotransmitter content in brain tissues.

Purpose: Osteosarcoma (OS) universally exhibits heterogeneity and cisplatin (CDDP) resistance. Although the Wee1/CDC2 and nuclear factor кB (NF-κB) pathways were reported to show abnormal activation in some tumor cells with CDDP resistance, whether there is any concrete connection is currently unclear. We explored it in human OS cells. Materials and Methods: Multiple OS cell lines were exposed to a Wee1 inhibitor (AZD1775) and CDDP to assess the half-maximal inhibitory concentration values. Western blot, coimmunoprecipitation, confocal immunofluorescence, cell cycle, and Cell Counting Kit-8assays were performed to explore the connection between the Wee1/CDC2 and NF-κB pathways and their subsequent physiological contribution to CDDP resistance. Finally, CDDP-resistant PDX-OS xenograft models were established to confirm that AZD1775 restores the antitumor effects of CDDP. Results: A sensitivity hierarchy of OS cells to CDDP and AZD1775 exists. In the highly CDDP-tolerant cell lines, Wee1 and RelA were physically crosslinked, which resulted in increased abundance of phosphorylated CDC2 (Y15) and RelA (S536) and consequent modulation of cell cycle progression, survival, and proliferation. Wee1 inhibition restored the effects of CDDP on these processes in CDDP-resistant OS cells. In addition, animal experiments with CDDP-resistant PDX-OS cells showed that AZD1775 combined with CDDP not only restored CDDP efficacy but also amplified AZD1775 in inhibiting tumor growth and prolonged the median survival of the mice. Conclusion Simultaneous enrichment of molecules in the Wee1/CDC2 and NF-κB pathways and their consequent coactivation is a new molecular mechanism of CDDP resistance in OS cells. OS with this molecular signature may respond well to Wee1 inhibition as an alternative treatment strategy.

Objective:To study the role of neonatal panel detection based on next generation sequencing (NGS) combined with multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) in the etiological differentiation of neonatal hypotonia.Methods:The clinical characteristics and gene test results of newborns with hypotonia as the main clinical manifestation treated at the Department of Neonatology of Jiangxi Provincial Children's Hospital from March 2017 to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 23 children with hypotonia and feeding difficulties diagnosed by gene tests were included. 17 cases (73.9%) had obvious abnormal appearance, and 11 cases (47.8%) had congenital heart disease (atrial septal defect and/or patent ductus arteriosus). Among the 23 infants, 21 were detected by panel gene, 10 by methylation specific MLPA (MS-MLPA) and 4 by MLPA (SMN1 / SMN2). 14 cases of Prader-Willi syndrome, 4 cases of spinal muscular atrophy, 3 cases of congenital myopathy and 2 cases of Schaaf-Yang syndrome were diagnosed. 11 cases died (47.8%), 9 cases had growth retardation (39.1%), 2 cases had normal growth and development (8.7%), and 1 case survived without detailed information (4.3%). Newborns with unknown etiology and low muscle tone are often complicated with abnormal appearance and congenital heart disease. Neonatal panel combined with MLPA is helpful for accurate diagnosis.Conclusions:The detection of neonatal panel combined with MLPA is cheap, and can provide accurate diagnosis for most newborns with unexplained hypotonia in a short diagnosis cycle, which is conducive to the early formulation of clinical decision-making, and guide the treatment, follow-up and genetic consultation of children.

Objective:To explore the application effect of respiratory rehabilitation nursing led by respiratory rehabilitation nursing group in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 124 patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who were admitted to Department of Respiratory Medicine of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from June 2018 to June 2020 were selected as the research objects. Among them, 62 cases admitted to the hospital from June 2018 to June 2019 were set as the control group and 62 cases admitted to the hospital from July 2019 to June 2020 were set as the observation group. The control group was given routine nursing, while the observation group was given respiratory rehabilitation nursing by the respiratory rehabilitation nursing group. The differences in body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity index (BODE) index, Chinese version of COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scale, activity of daily living (ADL) , self-efficacy and self-management ability were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:Finally, 58 patients in the control group and 61 patients in the observation group completed the study. After the intervention, the BODE index and CAT score of the observation group were lower than those before the intervention, and the scores of ADL, self-efficacy and self-management ability were increased, and they were all higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:In the respiratory rehabilitation nursing of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a special respiratory rehabilitation nursing group can relieve the symptoms of dyspnea and improve the ADL, self-efficacy and self-management ability of patients, which is worthy of promotion.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI)-induced coagulopathy has increasingly been recognized as a significant risk factor for poor outcomes, but the pathogenesis remains poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the causal role of acrolein, a typical lipid peroxidation product, in TBI-induced coagulopathy, and further explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. We found that the level of plasma acrolein in TBI patients suffering from coagulopathy was higher than that in those without coagulopathy. Using a controlled cortical impact mouse model, we demonstrated that the acrolein scavenger phenelzine prevented TBI-induced coagulopathy and recombinant ADAMTS-13 prevented acrolein-induced coagulopathy by cleaving von Willebrand factor (VWF). Our results showed that acrolein may contribute to an early hypercoagulable state after TBI by regulating VWF secretion. mRNA sequencing (mRNA-seq) and transcriptome analysis indicated that acrolein over-activated autophagy, and subsequent experiments revealed that acrolein activated autophagy partly by regulating the Akt/mTOR pathway. In addition, we demonstrated that acrolein was produced in the perilesional cortex, affected endothelial cell integrity, and disrupted the blood-brain barrier. In conclusion, in this study we uncovered a novel pro-coagulant effect of acrolein that may contribute to TBI-induced coagulopathy and vascular leakage, providing an alternative therapeutic target.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers the activation of the endogenous coagulation mechanism, and a large amount of thrombin is released to curb uncontrollable bleeding through thrombin receptors, also known as protease-activated receptors (PARs). However, thrombin is one of the most critical factors in secondary brain injury. Thus, the PARs may be effective targets against hemorrhagic brain injury. Since the PAR1 antagonist has an increased bleeding risk in clinical practice, PAR4 blockade has been suggested as a more promising treatment. Here, we explored the expression pattern of PAR4 in the brain of mice after TBI, and explored the effect and possible mechanism of BMS-986120 (BMS), a novel selective and reversible PAR4 antagonist on secondary brain injury. Treatment with BMS protected against TBI in mice. mRNA-seq analysis, Western blot, and qRT-PCR verification in vitro showed that BMS significantly inhibited thrombin-induced inflammation in astrocytes, and suggested that the Tab2/ERK/NF-κB signaling pathway plays a key role in this process. Our findings provide reliable evidence that blocking PAR4 is a safe and effective intervention for TBI, and suggest that BMS has a potential clinical application in the management of TBI.
