ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanisms by which Huanglian Jiedutang (HLJDT) modulates microglial (MG) phenotypes through the sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 2 (SIGLEC2/CD22)/Src-homology-2-domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-1 (SHP-1)/phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-Akt) signaling pathway, thereby promoting myelin repair and alleviating agitation-like behaviors in vascular dementia (VAD). MethodsSixty C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to a sham (normal) group, model group, HLJDT low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (2.5, 5, and 10 g·kg-1·d-1), and a risperidone group (2 mg·kg-1·d-1), with 10 mice per group. VAD was induced by bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS). From day 42, mice received drug interventions for 2 weeks. Agitation-like behaviors were assessed using the resident-intruder test. After behavioral testing, ventrolateral part of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl) tissues were collected. Western blot was used to measure protein levels of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), myelin basic protein (MBP), proteolipid protein (PLP), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), arginase-1 (Arg1), CD86, CD206, and CD22, SHP-1, and p-Akt. Immunofluorescence was used to evaluate myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) intensity and the proportion of iNOS+/ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1)+ cells. ELISA was used to detect tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group exhibited markedly increased biting and aggressive behaviors and shortened attack latency (P<0.01). MOG, MBP, and PLP protein levels and MAG fluorescence intensity were significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01). INOS and CD86 expression and TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels were significantly elevated (P<0.01). CD22 and SHP-1 expression increased significantly (P<0.01), whereas p-Akt expression decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the medium- and high-dose HLJDT groups and the risperidone group showed markedly reduced biting and aggression (P<0.05, P<0.01) and prolonged attack latency (P<0.01). MOG, MBP, and PLP levels and MAG fluorescence intensity were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). INOS, CD86, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). CD22 and SHP-1 expression decreased, while p-Akt expression increased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionHLJDT may modulate CD22/SHP-1/p-Akt signaling in the VMHvl, promote the shift of MG toward an anti-inflammatory and phagocytic phenotype, enhance myelin repair, and improve agitation-like behaviors in VAD mice.

Objective To establish the HPLC fingerprints for the different extracts from Coptidis Rhizoma,and investigate the spectrum-effect relationship between HPLC fingerprints and anti-Staphylococcus aureus activity in vitro to analyze the pharmacodynamic material basis. Methods Nine kinds of Coptidis Rhizoma extracts were prepared, and establish the HPLC fingerprints for them. The antibacterial rate of each extract was determined by the broth microdilution method with Staphylococcus aureus as the test bacteria. The grey relational analysis (GRA) method was used to analyze the correlation between the fingerprint data and the in vitro antibacterial test data. Results The HPLC fingerprints of nine kinds of Coptidis Rhizoma extracts were established, nine common characteristic fingerprint peaks were calibrated, and 5 peaks were identified by the reference substance comparison method. GRA analysis experiments showed that the correlation between nine peaks and antibacterial effect was 0.559 1~0.803 3; and the peak 3, peak 8 (palmatine hydrochloride), peak 9 (berberine hydrochloride) were positively correlated with the inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus,while the peak 9 (berberine hydrochloride) had the strongest effect, and its correlation degree was 0.803 3. Conclusion The effective substance of antibacterial was preliminarily determined through the study of spectrum-effect relationship for Coptidis Rhizoma extracts,which may be the alkaloids, mostly containing hydrochloride, which provided a reference for further research on the pharmacodynamic material basis of Coptidis Rhizoma.

Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare monogenic disorder primarily caused by insufficient insulin secretion resulting from mutations in the KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes. Sulfonylureas, represented by glibenclamide, have become the standard therapy for this type of NDM by precisely closing the mutated ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic β cells, thereby restoring insulin secretion. Clinical studies confirm that sulfonylureas enable over 90% of patients to successfully transition from insulin to oral treatment, achieving long-term stable glycemic control and improving neurological outcomes to a certain extent. In terms of safety, severe hypoglycemia induced by sulfonylureas is relatively rare and gastrointestinal reactions are mild; moreover, sulfonylureas show good long-term tolerability, and have no adverse effects on child growth and development. In the future, by further refining the full-chain management pathway of “rapid genetic diagnosis-early intervention-specialized dosage forms-long-term follow-up”, the clinical application of sulfonylureas is expected to provide NDM patients with an optimized treatment regimen and maximize their health benefits.

ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for long-term cardiovascular events in patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD), and to construct and validate a visual nomogram prediction model based on multiple parameters. MethodsA prospective cohort study was conducted, consecutively enrolling 248 maintenance PD patients (dialysis duration ≥ 3 months). Demographic characteristics, clinical indicators, laboratory parameters, and echocardiographic indices (including left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], ratio of early diastolic mitral inflow velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E/e’), etc.) were collected. The composite endpoint was defined as the occurrence of cardiovascular events or cardiovascular death, with non-cardiovascular death as the competing risk and loss to follow-up or the end of follow-up as censoring events. Fine-Gray competing risks model was used to screen independent predictors, based on which a nomogram model was constructed. Internal validation was performed using the Bootstrap method (1 000 resamplings), and the concordance index (C-index) and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (time-dependent ROC) curve were calculated to evaluate the model performance. ResultsWith a median follow-up of 29 months (interquartile range: 24–35 months), 88 patients (35.48%) reached the composite endpoint, including 80 cases of cardiovascular events and 8 cases of cardiovascular death, and 4 patients died of non-cardiovascular causes. Multivariate Fine-Gray analysis revealed that age, diabetes mellitus, hemoglobin (HGB) level and E/e' ratio were independent influencing factors of the composite endpoint. Specifically, each 1-year increase in age was associated with a 3.0% increase in the risk of the composite endpoint (HR=1.030, P=0.006); patients with diabetes mellitus had a 167.9% higher risk compared with non-diabetic patients (HR=2.679, P=0.007); each 1g/L increase in HGB level contributed to a 1.5% reduction in the risk (HR=0.985, P=0.003); and each 0.1 increase in E/e' ratio led to a 7.2% increase in the risk (HR=1.072, P=0.045). The nomogram model had a C-index of 0.76 (95% CI: 0.698–0.820), and the AUC of the time-dependent ROC curve reached 0.849 at 23 months of follow-up. ConclusionIncreased age, complicated with diabetes mellitus, decreased HGB, and elevated E/e' ratio are independent risk factors of long-term occurrence of cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death in patients undergoing long-term PD. The nomogram model constructed based on the above variables has good predictive value and clinical applicability, which can provide a reference for cardiovascular risk stratification and individualized intervention in long-term PD patients.

Objective:To study the correlation of TCM syndrome elements of large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) cerebral infarction with the new four thrombotic markers and cerebrovascular disease risk factors.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted for the baseline data and four diagnosis of 174 patients with LAA cerebral infarction in Department of Neurology, Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital from August 2022 to September 2023. These patients were classified into six TCM syndrome elements: internal wind, qi deficiency, internal fire, blood stasis, yin deficiency, and phlegm-dampness. Thrombomodulin (TM), fibrin-α2 antifibrinolytic inhibitor complex (PIC), thrombin-antithrombinogen complex (TAT), and tissue-type plasminogen activator-plasminogen activator inhibitor complex (t-PAIC) tests were performed in 24 h. Correlation analysis was conducted between the TCM syndrome typing of LAA stroke patients and baseline data, as well as the results of four thrombotic tests.Results:Among the 174 patients with LAA cerebral infarction, 49 (28.16%) were in the internal wind type, 37 (21.26%) in the phlegm-dampness type, 37 (21.26%) in the qi deficiency type, 16 (9.20%) in the internal fire type, 18 (10.35%) in the yin deficiency type, and 17 (9.77%) in the blood stasis type. Comparison of plasma TM ( P=0.003), PIC ( P=0.022), TAT ( P<0.001) and t-PAIC ( P=0.007) levels of each TCM syndrome element showed statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that gender was an influencing factor for the internal wind syndrome element and qi deficiency syndrome element [ OR (95% CI)=0.140 (0.037-0.536)] and blood stasis syndrome element [ OR (95% CI)=0.185 (0.042-0.820)] in TCM; TM was an influencing factor for the internal wind syndrome element and yin deficiency syndrome element [ OR (95% CI)=0.617 (0.423-0.900)], and blood stasis syndrome element [ OR (95% CI)=0.693 (0.496-0.968) ]; TAT was an influencing factor for internal wind syndrome element and phlegm-dampness syndrome element [ OR (95% CI)=2.143 (1.364-3.367)], qi deficiency syndrome element [ OR (95% CI)=1.937 (1.221-3.073)], and internal fire syndrome element [ OR (95% CI)=1.937 (1.221-3.073)], internal fire evidence element [ OR (95% CI)=2.949 (1.796-4.842)], and blood stasis evidence element [ OR (95% CI)=2.118 (1.246-30 600)]; t-PAIC was an influential factor for internal wind syndrome element and qi deficiency syndrome element [ OR (95% CI)=1.140 (1.033-1.258)] ( P<0.05). The ROC curve suggested that a TM level of 8.05 TU/ml had a diagnostic performance of 71.8% for the yin deficiency syndrome; a TAT level of 2.45 ng/L had a diagnostic performance of 71.2% for the internal wind syndrome; a TAT level of 1.65 ng/L had a diagnostic performance of 72.6% for the internal fire syndrome; and a t-PAIC level of 17.55 ng/L had a diagnostic performance of 70.4% for the qi deficiency syndrome. The diagnostic performance of t-PAIC was 70.4% at a t-PAIC level of 17.55 ng/L. Conclusion:Plasma TM, TAT, and t-PAIC levels are independent risk factors for different syndrome elements in patients with LAA cerebral infarction and can be used as markers for early determination of different syndrome elements.

Objective To analyze the antiviral effect of molnupiravir against influenza virus in vitro and in vivo.Methods The antiviral ability of molnupiravir against influenza virus strain H1N1 PR8 was detected in vitro and in vivo.H uman non-small cell lung cancer cell line(A549 cells)was used as an in vitro model of PR8 infection.The antiviral effects of molnupiravir on virus replication,protein synthesis,and viral particle formation were analyzed using real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),Western blot(WB)assay,and plaque assay.PR8 nose-dripping infected C57BL/6 female mice were used as an in vivo infection model.The antivi-ral ability of molnupiravir was evaluated by detecting viral load,pathological changes,and immunohistochemistry in the control group,administration group,inoculation group,and inoculation-administration group.Results In vitro test results showed that molnupiravir had no significant inhibitory effect on influenza virus replication,protein syn-thesis,and virus particle formation(all P>0.05).In vivo test results showed that compared with mice infected with H1N1 alone,the viral load in the lung tissue of mice treated with molnupiravir declined significantly,and the extent of pathological changes was milder.Immunohistochemical detection showed a significant weakening in nuclear protein(NP)antigen signal,and the expression levels of interferon(IFN)-α,interleukin(IL)-4,and IL-6 in the lungs were lower(all P<0.01).Conclusion As a precursor with antiviral activity,molnupiravir can not exert anti-viral activity in lung-derived cells cultured in vitro,but can be transformed into an active form in the host,which significantly decreases the ability of H1N1 influenza virus to proliferate in the lungs and thereby alleviates the da-mage of virus to lung tissue.
