This report presents two cases of penicillium marneffei infection occurring after kidney transplantation. Both recipients presented initially with gastrointestinal symptoms and were diagnosed early by metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS). Treatment included amphotericin B combined with voriconazole, adjustment of immunosuppressive therapy, and nutritional support, resulting in favorable outcomes. This study aims to characterize the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and individualized treatment strategies for penicillium marneffei infection in kidney transplant recipients, providing valuable insights for clinical management.

[Objective]To investigate the protective effect of overexpressed miRNA-200a&c on Angiostrongylus cantonensis-induced demyelinating optic neuritis in Balb/c mice.[Methods]SPF-grade Balb/c mice(2-3 weeks old)were divided into four groups:a normal group,and three A.cantonensis-infected groups at 7,14,and 21 days post-infection(dpi).Body weight,survival status,neurobehavioral scores,and visual function scores were recorded.Visual evoked potential(VEP)was used to detect visual damage,and transmission electron microscope(TEM)was applied to observe ocular structural changes.On day 7 post-infection,mice were stereotactically injected with exogenous miRNA-200a&c mimics into the lateral ventricle,and then divided into four groups:normal control,A.cantonensis-infected(AC-21 dpi),A.cantonensis-infected+negative control(AC+NC),and A.cantonensis-infected+overexpressed miRNA-200a&c(AC+miRNA-200a&c)mimics.VEP and TEM were repeated to assess visual damage and ocular structural changes.Immunofluorescence was performed to quantify retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)and oligodendrocytes(OLs)in the optic nerve.[Results]At 21 dpi,some mice exhibited complete eyelid closure(32.52±4.67)%or ocular atrophy(15.79±3.23)%,weight loss(P＜0.05)and altered consciousness.Neurobehavioral scores significantly decreased(P＜0.01),with a 68%decline in rotarod performance;some mice even displayed hemiplegia,slowed movement,ataxia,and directional deficits.Additionally,a subset of mice showed diminished sensory responses,unilateral vision loss(83%reduction in optokinetic threshold),and impaired visual function(P＜0.05).VEP results revealed a mild prolongation of latency in infected mice at 21 dpi(P＜0.05),predominantly affecting one eye.Following overexpression of miRNA-200a&c,compared with the 21 dpi group,VEP showed significantly shortened P1 latency(P＜0.05);TEM showed alleviated cytoplasmic swelling of RGCs,and improved compactness and uniformity of myelin sheath(P＜0.05);immunofluorescence showed increased numbers of RGCs and OLs with improved cell alignment(P＜0.05).[Conclusions]A.cantonensis infection induces demyelinating optic neuritis in Balb/c mice.Overexpression of miRNA-200a&c alleviates the resulting damage and ameliorates ocular injury.

[Objective]To investigate the demyelination induced by Angiostrongylus cantonensis(AC)infection in the brain of Balb/c mice and analyze the untargeted metabolomic changes in the corpus callosum,aiming to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.[Methods]Balb/c mice were randomly assigned to a control group(n=6)and an infection group(n=6).The infection group was orally administered 30 third-stage larvae of AC,while the control group received an equal volume of saline.Body weight,visual function,and behavioral scores were measured on post-infection 3,6,9,12,15,18,and 21 days to assess neurological alterations.After 21 days,brain tissues were harvested for immunofluorescence staining,hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,and transmission electron microscopy to examine morphological changes in brain myelin and retina.Metabolomics analysis was performed,and differential metabolites were identified using volcano plots and heatmaps.The distribution of fold changes and bar charts were used to profile the key metabolites.These differential metabolites were then subjected to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis and regulatory network analysis.[Results]On the 9th day after AC infection,Balb/c mice showed a decline in neurological behavioral scores(P<0.05).By day 15,visual scores decreased(P<0.05),and by day 21,significant weight loss(P＜0.001)and mortality were observed.Concurrently,transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence staining revealed significant myelin damage in the corpus callosum and a marked reduction in oligodendrocytes(P<0.001).HE staining showed severe retinal ganglion cell damage.Metabolomic analysis revealed that glycerophospholipids were the most abundant differential metabolites,with steroids and sphingolipids being relatively less abundant.Cholesteryl ester CE(20:2)was significantly upregulated(P<0.001),while phosphatidylmethanol(18:0_18:1)was significantly downregulated(P<0.01).KEGG enrichment and regulatory network analyses demonstrated that the differential metabolites were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways like steroid biosynthesis,bile secretion,and cholesterol metabolism,and were involved in key metabolic pathways such as sphingolipid metabolism,neural signal regulation,and glycerophospholipid metabolism.[Conclusions]AC infection affects the metabolic state of mice via multiple pathways,modifying the levels of metabolites crucial for myelination and myelin stability.Demyelination may be closely linked to the disruption of these key metabolic pathways,particularly the dysregulation of cholesterol and sphingolipid metabolism,potentially playing a central role in demyelination onset.Furthermore,alterations in phospholipid metabolism and abnormal nerve signaling regulation may exacerbate myelin damage.

AIM:To investigate the effects of mitogen-inducible gene 6(MIG6)overexpression on palmitic acid(PA)-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated steatosis in hepatocytes.METHODS:A mouse model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis was established by feeding twenty C57BL/6J mice a high-fat diet for 26 weeks.The mice were ran-domly divided into two groups:normal diet control group and high-fat diet group,and their livers were retained for subse-quent experiments.The PA was used to induce lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells and AML12 cells,and the cells were di-vided into two groups:BSA(10%BSA)group and PA(500 μmol/L PA)group.The MIG6 overexpression was induced by transfecting HepG2 and AML12 cells with human and mouse MIG6 overexpression plasmids,respectively.The cells were divided into four groups according to their different treatment conditions:(1)negatiive+BSA group(transfected with nega-tive control plasmid+10%BSA);(2)MIG6+BSA group(transfected with MIG6 overexpression plasmid+10%BSA);(3)negative+PA group(transfected with negative control plasmid+500 μmol/L PA);(4)MIG6+PA group(transfected with MIG6 overexpression plasmid+500 μmol/L PA).Lipid accumulation in hepatocytes was assessed by oil red O staining,and RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression level of MIG6 in liver tissues.The protein levels of MIG6,lipid synthesis-related molecules fatty acid synthase(FASN)and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1(SREBP1),and endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins glucose regulated protein 78(GRP78)and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP)in hepatocytes were detected using Western blot.RESULTS:High-fat diet increased the triglyceride content in the liver tissue of C57BL/6J mice induced lipid accumulation in hepatocytes and suppressed the mRNA expression level of MIG6(P<0.01).PA intervention increased the protein levels of lipid synthesis-related molecules such as FASN and SREBP1,and endoplasmic reticulum stress markers GRP78 and CHOP in hepatocytes,but inhibited MIG6 protein levels(P<0.01).We transfected hepatocytes with MIG6 overexpression plasmid,which significantly increased MIG6 protein levels,decreased GRP78 and CHOP protein levels in hepatocytes(P<0.01),significantly attenuated PA-induced lipid accumulation in hepatocytes,and down-regulated FASN and SREBP1 protein levels(P<0.01).These results indicate that MIG6 overexpression inhibited PA-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and attenuated lipid accumulation in hepato-cytes.CONCLUSION:Overexpression of MIG6 inhibits lipid accumulation in hepatocytes by suppressing endoplasmic reticulum stress.

OBJECTIVE To explore the role of clinical pharmacists participating in the standardized perioperative nutritional management process for pancreaticoduodenectomy （PD） on improving postoperative recovery in patients. METHODS The clinical data of 100 patients undergoing PD in the Department of Biliary and Pancreatic Surgery， Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University School of Medicine from November 2019 to February 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the different perioperative nutrition management plans， they were divided into clinical pharmacist intervention group （n＝51， clinical pharmacists intervened according to the standardized nutrition management process） and control group （n＝49， clinical pharmacists only performed preoperative nutrition evaluation， and clinical physicians took nutrition support according to the patient’s condition）. The differences in postoperative recovery index， economic evaluation index， hospitalization length， postoperative complications， and postoperative enteral nutrition support route were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS The time of postoperative diet， the first postoperative ventilation， the first postoperative defecation， and postoperative drainage time of abdominal drain were significantly earlier in the clinical pharmacist intervention group than in the control group （P＜0.05）； the hospitalization cost， medication cost， nutritional support cost， parenteral nutrition cost， albumin preparation cost， and the length of postoperative hospitalization were significantly lower/shorter in the clinical pharmacist intervention group than in the control group （P＜0.05）； there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups （P＞0.05）； there was statistically significant difference in the perioperative enteral nutrition support pathways between two groups （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists’ participation in perioperative nutritional management for PD can significantly reduce hospitalization costs and nutritional support costs， improve patients’ perioperative nutritional status， and shorten hospital stays. wanglina668@163.com
