Post-stroke cognitive impairment(PSCI),refers to a range of clinical syndromes of cognitive impairment caused by stroke.Although its specific pathogenesis is still unclear,many studies have confirmed that endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria interaction has become a key hub for intracellular signal transduction and substance metabolism,and its regulation of various biological processes,such as Ca2+ balance,lipid metabolism,mitochondrial dynamics,autophagy,and neuroinflammation,is closely related to the development of PSCI.There-fore,in this paper,we will review the various functions of endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondrial interactions and explore their specific roles in PSCI,in order to discover new therapeutic targets and provide new theoretical basis and references for the development of PSCI-targeted drugs in the future.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Banxia Xiexin decoction(BXD) on colitis associated cancer(CAC) mice and its related mechanism. METHODS Seventy-five C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, Banxia Xiexin decoction low-dose group, high-dose group and mesalazine group. Except for the normal group, the mice in the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with azoxymethane combined with oral dextran sodium sulfate to establish the CAC model. BXD and mesalazine were given respectively for intervention. The general conditions of all mice were observed and recorded, and the changes of body weight, disease activity index, colon length and tumor number were monitored. HE staining was utilized to observe the pathological changes of colon tissue. The expression levels of PCNA, NF-κB P65 and IκB-α were detected by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA levels of IL-17A, N-cadherin, E-cadherin and Bcl-2 were detected by qRT-PCR. Macrophage infiltration was measured using immunostaining analysis. Western blotting was applied to analyze the expression of NF-κB, E-cadherin and N-cadherin proteins in colon tissues of each group. RESULTS There was no significant tumor occurrence in the normal group, while the body weight of the model group mice was significantly reduced and the number of colon tumors increased. The colon length, number of tumors, and degree of inflammatory cell infiltration in the BXD group were significantly improved compared to the model group. Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of PCNA, NF-κB P65 and IκB-α protein in colon tissue of model group was remarkably increased (P<0.01). Immunofluorescence results showed that the number of F4/80, CD80 and CD206 positive macrophages in the colon tissue of the model group increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The results of RT-PCR demonstrated that the levels of IL-17A, N-cadherin and Bcl-2 mRNA in the colon tissue of the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), while the level of E-cadherin mRNA was fundamentally decreased (P<0.01). Western blotting results displayed that the expression levels of NF-κB and N-cadherin protein in colon tissue of model group were up-regulated (P<0.01), while E-cadherin was significantly down-regulated (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the changes of the above indexes in the BXD and mesalazine groups were ameliorated, with statistical differences (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the changes in the BXD high-dose group were more significant. CONCLUSION BXD exhibits strong anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor benefits in CAC mice, inhibiting macrophage activation in colon tissue and promoting M2 polarization, while reducing the expression of tumor associated proteins PCNA and Bcl-2, and block the progression of EMT related proteins (E-cadherin and N-cadherin). The mechanism may connect to suppressing NF-κB P65 and IκB-α activation to regulate the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the relationship between body mass index(BMI)and blood pressure(BP),blood lipids,waist-to-hip ratio(WHR),and hemoglobin(Hb)in the elderly.Methods A total of 10 978 elderly individuals aged≥65 years old in a community in Baoshan District,Shanghai from February 2023 to October 2023 were selected as the research subjects.Height,body mass,waist circumference(WC),hip circumference(HC),systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),total cholesterol(TC),high-density lipoprotein(HDL),low-density lipoprotein(LDL),Hb were measured,and BMI and WHR were calculated.According to the Chinese BMI reference standard,the elderly were divided into a lean group(BMI＜18.5 kg/m2,n= 310),a normal body mass group(18.5 kg/m2≤BMI＜24 kg/m2,n=4 692),a overweight group(24 kg/m2≤BMI＜28 kg/m2,n= 4 615),and an obese group(BMI≥28 kg/m2,n=1 361).The levels of BP,blood lipids,WHR,and Hb in the four groups were compared and correlation analysis was conducted.Results The levels of BMI,WC,HC,WHR,SBP,DBP,and Hb in elderly men were higher than those in elderly women(all P＜0.01),while the levels of TC,HDL,and LDL were lower than those in elderly women(all P＜0.01).The differences in SBP,DBP,TC,HDL,LDL,WHR,and Hb among the four groups were statistically significant(all P＜0.05),and BMI was positively correlated with SBP,DBP,TC,LDL,WHR,and Hb(r=0.109,0.064,0.041,0.042,0.108,0.089,all P＜0.01),and negatively correlated with HDL(r=﹣0.106,P＜0.01).The BMI of elderly men in the normal body mass group was higher than that of elderly women,while the BMI of elderly women in the obesity group was higher than that of elderly men(both P＜0.01).In the normal body mass group,the BMI of elderly people aged＜75 years old was higher than that of elderly people aged≥75 years old(P＜0.05).Conclusions BMI is closely related to the health of the elderly,and maintaining an ideal BMI is the foundation for health management and prevention of chronic diseases in the elderly.

Objective:To investigate the impact of single incision laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer on postoperative quality of life and prognosis in patients with colon cancer.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 84 colorectal cancer patients admitted to Suzhou Municipal Hospital between June 2019 and June 2022. The patients were divided into two groups of 42 each according to their wishes. The control group underwent traditional laparoscopic radical surgery for colon cancer; The observation group underwent single incision laparoscopic radical resection for colon cancer. Two sets of surgical related indicators, postoperative stress response, immune inflammatory response, tumor markers, complications, and prognosis were compared.Results:Compared with the control group, the observation group had less intraoperative bleeding [(142.58±23.76)ml vs (121.37±20.23)ml], faster recovery of intestinal function [(3.87±0.65)d vs (3.12±0.45)d], lower postoperative Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores [(3.52±0.70)points vs (2.46±0.49)points], and a lower incidence of postoperative complications [26.19%(11/42) vs 7.14%(3/42)] (all P<0.05); There was no statistically significant difference in the surgical time, hospitalization time, and levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen (CA199) between the two groups (all P>0.05). The postoperative level of cortisol (Cor) [(473.25±52.58)nmol/L vs (447.53±49.73)nmol/L], adrenaline (E) [(662.41±73.60)μg/L vs (622.84±69.20)μ g/L], norepinephrine (NE) [(18.52±2.06)μ g/L vs (17.48±1.94)μ g/L], interleukin-6 (IL-6) [(51.24±5.26)pg/ml vs (47.33±5.26)pg/ml], high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) [(21.47±3.58)ng/ml vs (19.26±3.26)ng/ml] of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (all P<0.05). The postoperative levels of CD3 + [(58.34±3.89) vs (60.21±4.01)] and CD4 + /CD8 + [(1.24±0.14) vs (1.31±0.15)] in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the survival curve analysis between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Both traditional conventional laparoscopic radical surgery and single incision laparoscopic radical surgery have good therapeutic effects on colorectal patients, which can effectively reduce tumor marker levels and have a good prognosis. However, single incision laparoscopic radical surgery has less stress damage to patients, can reduce immune inflammatory reactions, and has fewer postoperative complications, which can promote postoperative recovery.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of Tongdu Xingshen needling method （通督醒神针刺法） on post-stroke cognitive impairment. MethodsSD rats were randomly divided into a normal group （n=12）， a sham surgery group （n=12）， a model group （n=12）， and a electroacupuncture group （n=13）. The rats in the model group and electroacupuncture group were subjected to the wire bolus method to establish the rats model with learning memory impairment after cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion. After successful modelling， the rats in the electroacupuncture group were given electroacupuncture interventions at “Shenting （GV 24）” and “Baihui （GV 20）” once a day for 30 minutes for 14 days. The other three groups did not receive other interventions but grasp. A 5-day localisation navigation experiment was conducted on the 9th day of intervention， and a spatial exploration experiment was conducted on the 14th day of intervention to evaluate the learning and memory abilities of the rats. After the spatial exploration experiment， hippocampal tissues were taken from each group of rats， and the changes in the volume of cerebral infarction were observed by TTC staining； the changes in the morphology of pyramidal neurons and the density of dendritic spines in the CA1 area of the hippocampus were observed by Golgi staining； protein immunoblotting was used to detect the relative protein expression of the subunits of the α-amino-3-carboxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid （AMPA） receptor including glutamate receptor 1 （GluR1）， glutamate receptor 2 （GluR2）， glutamate receptor 3 （GluR3） and auxiliary proteins TARPγ2， TARPγ8 in hippocampal tissues of rats in each group； the real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect GluR1， GluR2， GluR3 mRNA levels in the hippocampal tissues of rats. ResultsIn the localisation navigation experiment， compared with the normal group and sham surgery group， the escape latency and total distance of rats in the model group were significantly extended （P＜0.05） at day 1， 2， 3， 4， and 5； and the escape latency and total distance of rats in the electroacupuncture group tended to be significantly shorter than those in the model group （P＜0.05）. In the spatial exploration experiment， compared with the normal group and the sham surgery group， the number of rats crossing the platform in the model group was significantly reduced （P＜0.05）， and the number of crossings of the platform in the electroacupuncture group increased significantly （P＜0.05）. The results of TTC staining showed that the volume of cerebral infarction increased clearly in the model group compared with the sham surgery group （P＜0.05）， and apparently decreased in the electroacupuncture group compared with the model group （P＜0.05）. Golgi staining showed that the number of dendritic branches of pyramidal neurons and dendritic spines in hippocampal CA1 region significantly decreased in the model group compared with the normal group and the sham surgery group （P＜0.05）. The number of dendritic branches of pyramidal neurons and the density of dendritic spines in hippocampal CA1 region significantly increased in the electroacupuncture group compared with the model group （P＜0.05）. The protein relative expression levels of GluR1， GluR2， GluR3， TARPγ2 and TARPγ8， and the mRNA levels of GluR1， GluR2 and GluR3 in hippocampus decreased in the model group compared with the normal group and the sham surgery group （P＜0.05）. The protein relative expression levels of GluR1， GluR2， GluR3， TARPγ2 and TARPγ8， and the mRNA levels of GluR1， GluR2 and GluR3 in hippocampus increased in the electroacupuncture group compared with model group （P＜0.05）. ConclusionThe Tongdu Xingshen needling method can improve learning memory impairment after cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion， which may be related to up-regulation of the expression of AMPA receptor and their auxiliary protein TARP， and promoting the synaptic plasticity of hippocampal tissues.

Body is equipped with organic cation transporters (OCTs). These OCTs mediate drug transport and are also involved in some disease process. We aimed to investigate whether liver failure alters intestinal, hepatic and renal Oct expressions using bile duct ligation (BDL) rats. Pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrates that BDL decreases plasma metformin exposure, associated with decreased intestinal absorption and increased urinary excretion. Western blot shows that BDL significantly downregulates intestinal Oct2 and hepatic Oct1 but upregulates renal and hepatic Oct2. In vitro cell experiments show that chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), bilirubin and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist GW4064 increase OCT2/Oct2 but decrease OCT1/Oct1, which are remarkably attenuated by glycine-β-muricholic acid and silencing FXR. Significantly lowered intestinal CDCA and increased plasma bilirubin levels contribute to different Octs regulation by BDL, which are confirmed using CDCA-treated and bilirubin-treated rats. A disease-based physiologically based pharmacokinetic model characterizing intestinal, hepatic and renal Octs was successfully developed to predict metformin pharmacokinetics in rats. In conclusion, BDL remarkably downregulates expressions of intestinal Oct2 and hepatic Oct1 protein while upregulates expressions of renal and hepatic Oct2 protein in rats, finally, decreasing plasma exposure and impairing hypoglycemic effects of metformin. BDL differently regulates Oct expressions via Fxr activation by CDCA and bilirubin.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.

Detailed characterizations of genomic alterations have not identified subtype-specific vulnerabilities in adult gliomas. Mapping gliomas into developmental programs may uncover new vulnerabilities that are not strictly related to genomic alterations. After identifying conserved gene modules co-expressed with EGFR or PDGFRA (EM or PM), we recently proposed an EM/PM classification scheme for adult gliomas in a histological subtype- and grade-independent manner. By using cohorts of bulk samples, paired primary and recurrent samples, multi-region samples from the same glioma, single-cell RNA-seq samples, and clinical samples, we here demonstrate the temporal and spatial stability of the EM and PM subtypes. The EM and PM subtypes, which progress in a subtype-specific mode, are robustly maintained in paired longitudinal samples. Elevated activities of cell proliferation, genomic instability and microenvironment, rather than subtype switching, mark recurrent gliomas. Within individual gliomas, the EM/PM subtype was preserved across regions and single cells. Malignant cells in the EM and PM gliomas were correlated to neural stem cell and oligodendrocyte progenitor cell compartment, respectively. Thus, while genetic makeup may change during progression and/or within different tumor areas, adult gliomas evolve within a neurodevelopmental framework of the EM and PM molecular subtypes. The dysregulated developmental pathways embedded in these molecular subtypes may contain subtype-specific vulnerabilities.
