Objective To investigate the protective effect of mitochondrial fission inhibitor 1(Mdivi-1),on organ function in rats with explosive blast injury combined with hemorrhagic shock.Methods A total of 192 SD rats(half male and half female,12 weeks old,weighing about 220 g)were randomly divided into 6 groups:Sham group(only surgical incision along the midline of the abdomen),model group(ESH group,thermal radiation and shock wave injury followed by femoral artery hemorrhage),lactated Ringer's solution resuscitation group(ESH+LR group,LR solution infusion in the femoral vein for resuscitation),and low-,middle-and high-dose Mdivi-1 groups(0.1,0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg Mdivi-1 intervention after infusion of LR solution).Fluorescent protein tracing was used to determine the leakage amount of fluorescent protein in the lung and kidney tissues to evaluate the vascular permeability.Evans blue dye staining was employed to observe the intestinal permeability and pulmonary vascular permeability.Laser Doppler flowmetry was applied to monitor the tissue blood perfusion in the liver,kidneys,and intestine.Serum levels of cardiac injury marker troponin I(TNI),liver function markers aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and alanine aminotransferase(ALT),and renal function markers serum creatinine(Scr)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)were detected to evaluate the functions of corresponding organs.The water contents of the lungs and brain were calculated by measuring wet weight and dry weight of the lung and brain tissues.Blood pressure,heart rate,and respiratory rate were monitored.The survival time and 72-hour survival rate were recorded and calculated.Results Compared with the Sham group,the ESH group exhibited significantly increased vascular permeability in the lungs and kidneys as well as intestinal tissue(P<0.05),along with obviously elevated water contents in the lungs and brain(P<0.05),and decreased blood perfusion in the liver,kidneys,and intestine by 57.1%,39.2%,and 43.2%of the Sham group,respectively(P<0.05),elevated levels of TNI,AST,ALT,Scr and BUN(P<0.05),mean survival time of 3.8±1.1 h,and a 72-hour survival rate of 0(P<0.05).Although LR solution resuscitation reduced vascular permeability and alleviated organ injury in rats with explosive injury combined with hemorrhagic shock,there were no significant differences compared to the ESH group(P>0.05).Mdivi-1 treatment notably decreased vascular permeability in the lungs and kidneys and intestine,and water contents in the lungs and brain when compared with the LR group(P<0.05),with the dose of 0.5 mg/kg demonstrating the most significant effect.Additionally,Mdivi-1 treatment also significantly enhanced organ perfusion,improved organ functions,prolonged survival time,and increased survival rate.The 0.5 mg/kg treatment resulted in a 72-hour average survival time 55.64 h and a survival rate of 62.5%.Conclusion Mitochondrial fission inhibitor Mdivi-1 can reduce the permeabilities in the lungs,kidneys and intestine,improve tissue blood perfusion,protect the organ functions of the heart,liver and kidneys,and finally prolong survival time and increase survival rate in rats with concomitant explosive blast injury and hemorrhagic shock.

To analyze the transmission characteristics of newly reported HIV-infected students aged ≥18 years in Nanjing City from 2016 to 2022 and provide evidence for AIDS publicity and intervention among young students. The pol region sequences of newly reported HIV-infected students and non-student HIV-infected individuals in Nanjing City from 2016 to 2022 were collected, and the BLAST tool was used to search the published global non-Nanjing reported HIV infection sequences in the LANL HIV database. The basic molecular transmission network and regional molecular transmission network were constructed using the HIV-TRACE in a pairwise genetic distance threshold of 1.0%. 332 sequences of infected students aged≥18 years in Nanjing City, 1 904 sequences of non-student-infected individuals in Nanjing City and 1 698 non-Nanjing-infected individuals were obtained. Among the 332 infected students, the main route of infection was homosexual (96.39%), and the subtypes were CRF01_AE (37.95%), CRF07_BC (37.65%) and CRF105_0107 (10.24%). There were 890 sequences in the regional molecular transmission network, of which 21.80% were infected students in Nanjing City, 39.89% were non-student-infected individuals in Nanjing City, and 38.31% were non-Nanjing-infected individuals. In the CRF105_0107 transmission cluster, non-student-infected individuals from Nanjing accounted for 66.95% (81/121), while in the CRF07_BC transmission cluster, non-Nanjing-infected individuals accounted for 56.66% (200/353). There were 1 644 edges connected to infected students within the regional molecular transmission network, with local transmission accounting for 64.72% and regional transmission accounting for 35.28%. Regional transmission was mainly in Guangdong Province (19.83%) and other cities in Jiangsu Province (4.50%). The HIV-1 subtypes of newly reported HIV-infected students aged≥18 years in Nanjing City are mainly CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC and CRF105_0107, with local transmission as the main transmission characteristics. There is transmission between students and non-students.

Objective To explore the changes in biventricular myocardial strain and the value of strain in evaluating left ventricular function in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy(ARVC)patients using cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking(CMR-FT)technique.Methods The retrospective study included 25 patients with ARVC and 25 healthy volunteers(control group),who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR)examination.One-way ANOVA was used to analyze and compare biventricular function parameters,global and local myocardial strain parameters between left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)≥50％ARVC,LVEF＜50％ARVC and control groups.Diagnostic efficacy of myocardial strain indexes was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results In the LVEF＜50％ARVC group,the global longitudinal strain(GLS),global radial strain(GRS)and global circumferential strain(GCS)in left ventricular were lower than the control group(P＜0.05).While only left ventricular GLS,basal longitudinal strain(BLS),and middle longitudinal strain(MLS)were lower in the LVEF 50％ARVC group than in the control group(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that left ventricular strain was an effective mean of discriminating ARVC patients from control group and performed well in equally discriminating the diagnosis of the LVEF≥50％ARVC group from control group.The area under the curve(AUC)for right ventricular GLS,GRS,and GCS were 0.904,0.893,and 0.874,respectively.Conclusion CMR-FT technique is capable of detecting biventricular myocardial strain characteristics and identifying early left ventricular involvement in ARVC patients.

AIM:To study the protective effect of transient receptor potential vanilic acid subtype 1(TRPV1)agonist capsaicin(CAP)on traumatic blood loss shock rats,and to further explore its possible mechanism by network pharmacology.METHODS:Forty-five SD rats were divided into 5 groups by random number table method:normal group,shock group,lactated Ringer's solution(LR)group,CAP pretreatment(single administration before shock)group,CAP pre-final administration(twice administration before and after shock)group,with 9 rats in each group for survival observation.Then 32 SD rats were divided into 4 groups according to the results of survival experiment:normal group,shock group,LR group,CAP pre-final administration group,with 8 rats in each group for blood pressure,hemodynamics,arterial blood gas,vascular reactivi-ty and hepaticand renal blood flow.At the same time,the potential mechanism of CAP in the treat-ment of traumatic hemorrhagic shock was investi-gated by network pharmacology.Furthermore,ap-ply the dataset to validate and analyse the diagnos-tic value of the hub genes.RESULTS:Rats in shock group died within hours of the completion of the shock model,and the mean survival time was 1.25(0.42,6.21)h.LR resuscitation could improve the survival of rats to some extent.The survival rate and survival time of rats in the CAP pretreatment group were slightly increased as compared with the LR group,while twice administration of CAP be-fore and after shock(CAP pre-final administration)resulted in better outcomes than LR resuscitation alone.Further results indicated that CAP pre-final administration significantly reduced the blood lac-tic acid level,improved the vasoconstrictive and di-astolic reactivity,and increased the liver and kidney blood flow of shock rats as compared with LR group.The improvement of hemodynamics and blood gas indexes in CAP group was slightly higher than LR group,but there was no statistical signifi-cance.A total of 37 genes related to CAP anti-trau-matic hemorrhage shock were obtained by net-work pharmacology.KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the Ca ion signaling pathway and Ras signaling pathway were significantly enriched.Vali-dation of the dataset showed that the expression levels of CXCR4,NF-kB1,GFPA and NTF3 hub gene were significantly different in the normal and shock groups,and that CXCR4 has a high diagnostic value for traumatic haemorrhagic shock.CONCLUSIONS:CAP,the TRPV1 agonist,significantly improved vas-cular function,increased organ blood flow,and cor-rected the lactic acidosis in rats with traumatic hemorrhagic shock,thus markedly improved the survival outcomes.The mechanism may be related to Ca ion signal pathway and Ras signal pathway.CXCR4,NF-kB1,GFPA and NTF3 may be having an important role in it.

Background::Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects approximately 10% of adults worldwide. CM310 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-4 receptor alpha that blocks interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 signaling. This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM310 in Chinese adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Methods::This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial was conducted in 21 medical institutions in China from February to November 2021. Totally 120 eligible patients were enrolled and randomized (1:1:1) to receive subcutaneous injections of 300 mg CM310, 150 mg CM310, or placebo every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, followed by an 8-week follow-up period. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving ≥75% improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) score from baseline at week 16. Safety and pharmacodynamics were also studied.Results::At week 16, the proportion of EASI-75 responders from baseline was significantly higher in the CM310 groups (70% [28/40] for high-dose and 65% [26/40] for low-dose) than that in the placebo group (20%[8/40]). The differences in EASI-75 response rate were 50% (high vs. placebo, 95% CI 31%–69%) and 45% (low vs. placebo, 95% CI 26%–64%), with both P values <0.0001. CM310 at both doses also significantly improved the EASI score, Investigator’s Global Assessment score, daily peak pruritus Numerical Rating Scale, AD-affected body surface area, and Dermatology Life Quality Index compared with placebo. CM310 treatment reduced levels of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine, total immunoglobulin E, lactate dehydrogenase, and blood eosinophils. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar among all three groups, with the most common TEAEs reported being upper respiratory tract infection, atopic dermatitis, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. No severe adverse events were deemed to be attributed to CM310. Conclusion::CM310 at 150 mg and 300 mg every 2 weeks demonstrated significant efficacy and was well-tolerated in adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Trial Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04805411.
