The molecular mechanism of verbascoside(OC1) in promoting acetylcholine(ACh) release in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease(AD) was studied. Adrenal pheochromocytoma cells(PC12) of rats induced by β-amyloid protein(1-42)(Aβ_(1-42)) were used as AD models in vitro and were divided into control group, model group(Aβ_(1-42) 10 μmol·L~(-1)), OC1 treatment group(2 and 10 μg·mL~(-1)). The effect of OC1 on phosphorylated proteins in AD models was analyzed by whole protein phosphorylation quantitative omics, and the selectivity of OC1 for calcium channel subtypes was virtually screened in combination with computer-aided drug design. The fluorescence probe Fluo-3/AM was used to detect Ca~(2+) concentration in cells. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the effects of OC1 on the expression of phosphorylated calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ(p-CaMKⅡ, Thr286) and synaptic vesicle-related proteins, and UPLC/Q Exactive MS was used to detect the effects of OC1 on ACh release in AD models. The effects of OC1 on acetylcholine esterase(AChE) activity in AD models were detected. The results showed that the differentially modified proteins in the model group and the OC1 treatment group were related to calcium channel activation at three levels: GO classification, KEGG pathway, and protein domain. The results of molecular docking revealed the dominant role of L-type calcium channels. Fluo-3/AM fluorescence intensity decreased under the presence of Ca~(2+) chelating agent ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid(EGTA), L-type calcium channel blocker verapamil, and N-type calcium channel blocker conotoxin, and the effect of verapamil was stronger than that of conotoxin. This confirmed that OC1 promoted extracellular Ca~(2+) influx mainly through its interaction with L-type calcium channel protein. In addition, proteomic analysis and Western blot results showed that the expression of p-CaMKⅡ and downstream vesicle-related proteins was up-regulated after OC1 treatment, indicating that OC1 acted on vesicle-related proteins by activating CaMKⅡ and participated in synaptic remodeling and transmitter release, thus affecting learning and memory. OC1 also decreased the activity of AChE and prolonged the action time of ACh in synaptic gaps.

Objective To establish a stable,reliable,and clinically relevant porcine model of endotoxin-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods Ten 8-month-old male Bama minipigs were deeply sedated,followed by invasive mechanical ventilation and electrocardiographic monitoring.Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was intravenously pumped at 600 μg/(kg·h)for 3 hours,then maintained at 15 μg/(kg·h)thereafter.Dynamic monitoring was performed at five time points after LPS injection(LPS 0,1,3,5,and 8 h),including arterial blood gas analysis and chest computed tomography(CT)scans.Pathological examination of lung tissues obtained via bronchoscopic biopsy(HE staining and transmission electron microscopy)was conducted.These indicators were comprehensively used to evaluate the success of the animal model.Results At 5 hours after LPS administration,8 minipigs developed symptoms such as skin cyanosis,elevated body temperature,and respiratory distress.The oxygenation index decreased to<300 mmHg.Chest CT scans showed diffuse pulmonary infiltrates.Histopathology revealed alveolar edema and hyaline membrane formation.Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated disruption of pulmonary blood-air barrier,depletion of lamellar bodies in type Ⅱ pneumocytes,inflammatory cell infiltration,and exudation of plasma proteins and fibrin.Compared with LPS 0 h,at LPS 8 h,the oxygenation index and arterial blood pH were significantly decreased(P<0.001),while blood lactic acid and serum potassium were significantly increased(P<0.05);serum calcium and base excess were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the lung injury score based on HE-stained lung sections was significantly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion The porcine ARDS model established by continuous LPS injection can dynamically simulate the pathophysiological characteristics and typical pathological manifestations of clinical septic ARDS,making it an effective tool to study the pathogenesis,prevention,and treatment strategies of septic ARDS.

Inclusion criteria: ①Aged 18-70 years, with verifiable clinical data showing at least 3 episodes of acute UTIs within 1 year and at least 2 episodes within 6 months, and cured by antimicrobial therapy; ② At the time of enrollment, the patients had no obvious symptoms of urinary tract irritation, normal white blood cell count in midstream urine routine (within the normal range of laboratory standards of each unit) or ≤3HP by centrifuge microscopy, negative leucocyte esterase and nitrite, and negative urine culture; ③No abnormal urinary anatomic function (such as urinary obstruction, calculus or congenital urinary malformation) and residual urine volume ≤50 ml were detected by B-ultrasound of urinary system; ④Informed consent signed by the person or agent; ⑤Clear consciousness, able to answer questions independently, according to the requirements of the test plan to complete the research questionnaire. Exclusion criteria: ①Patients allergic to the above drugs; ②Any complex signs of urinary tract infection or pyelonephritis (manifested as low back pain, fever ≥37.3℃, systemic symptoms); ③Drugs affecting immune function were used within 7 days before randomization; ④Patients with basic diseases of urinary system such as obstruction, calculus, urinary stenosis, vesicoureteral reflux or other functional abnormalities, urine diversion, indwelling catheter or stent tube or intermittent catheterization; ⑤Combined with or existing systemic lupus erythematosus, AIDS and other diseases that can lead to systemic immune function abnormalities; ⑥Patients who are known or suspected to be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy within 3 months of stopping the drug; ⑦Patients with malignant tumors and mental patients; ⑧Persons who have received any other investigational drug treatment or participated in another interventional clinical trial within 4 weeks prior to screening; ⑨Failure to comply with the trial protocol or other conditions deemed unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. The experimental group was given Pseudomonas aeruginosa injection for 5 times, 0.5 ml for the first time, and 1 ml/ time per week for the following 4 weeks. The control group was given fosfomycin aminotriol 3g orally, once every 10 days, for 9 consecutive times. The patients were followed up for 6 to 8 months, during which urinary tract symptoms developed and routine urine tests showed abnormally elevated white blood cells, which was defined as recurrent UTIs. Urine routine, liver and kidney function, and urinary secretory immunoglobulin A(SIgA) were reviewed 0-2 days (V2) after the 5th administration of the experimental group and the 4th administration of the control group. Urine routine and urine SIgA were reviewed at (90±10) d (V3) and (180±10) d (V4) after treatment. At (270±10) d (V5) after treatment, the recurrence (re-infection caused by the same species of bacteria) or re-infection (re-infection caused by non-same species of bacteria) of the two groups were compared, and non-inferiority analysis was performed, and the non-inferiority threshold was set at 0.2. Results:From March 2021 to May 2022, a total of 152 rUTIs patients were enrolled in this study, including 80 patients in the experimental group, 71 patients in the intention-to-analysis set (ITT) and 66 patients in the protocol analysis set (PPS). In the control group, 72 cases met ITT in 69 cases and PPS in 67 cases. There were no significant differences in age, body mass index, marital status, duration of urinary tract infection, history of diabetes, history of previous major surgery, history of infection, and urinary SIgA between the two groups (all P>0.05). The recurrence rates of the experimental group and the control group at V5 time point were 44.78% (30/67) and 42.65% (29/68), respectively ( P=0.803) (ITT data set analysis results showed that the difference in recurrence rates between the two groups was 0.0213(95% CI-0.1460-0.1886, P=0.0048). PPS data set analysis showed that the difference of recurrence rate between the two groups was -0.0021(95%CI -0.1711-0.1670, P=0.0109), and the recurrence rate of the experimental group was not worse than that of the control group. At V2 time points, there were no significant differences in liver and kidney function indexes between test group and control group ( P>0.05). At V2 to V4 time points, urinary SIgA of test group and control group were 0.90 (0.37, 2.89) mg/L and 1.32 (0.34, 3.08) mg/L, 1.54 (0.44, 3.23) mg/L and 1.71 (0.27, 2.92) mg/L, 1.11 (0.65, 3.42) mg/L and 2.18 (0.43, 3.26) mg/L, there was no statistical significance ( P>0.05). The incidence of adverse events in the experimental group was 30.0% (24/80), including 14 cases of redness, pain and discomfort at the injection site, 5 cases of fever, 2 cases of allergic rash, and 1 case of urticaria, headache and constipation each. The incidence of adverse events in the control group was 5.6% (4/72), all of which were diarrhea, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.01). No life-threatening serious adverse events occurred in both groups, and all adverse events were self-healing without additional intervention. Conclusions:Compared with fosfomycin aminotriol, Pseudomonas aeruginosa injection has the same clinical effect in preventing rUTI and has good safety.

OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of integrated management during the perinatal period for fetuses diagnosed with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) by prenatal echocardiography.
METHODS:
Clinical data of 64 cases of TAPVC fetuses diagnosed by prenatal echocardiography and managed with integrated perinatal care in Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Integrated perinatal care included multidisciplinary collaboration among obstetrics, fetal medicine, ultrasound, pediatric cardiology, pediatric anesthesia, and neonatology.
RESULTS:
Among the 64 TAPVC fetuses, there were 29 cases of supracardiac type, 27 cases of intracardiac type, 2 cases of infracardiac type, and 6 cases of mixed type. Chromosomal analysis was performed in 42 cases, and no obvious abnormalities were found. Among the 64 TAPVC fetuses, 37 were induced labor, and 27 were followed up until term birth. Among the 27 TAPVC cases, 2 cases accepted palliative care, 2 cases were referred to another hospital for treatment and lost to follow-up, while the remaining 23 cases underwent primary repair surgery. One case died within 6 months after the operation due to low cardiac output syndrome, while the other 22 cases were followed up for (2.1±0.3) years with good outcomes (2 cases underwent a second surgery within 1 year after the first operation due to anastomotic stenosis or pulmonary vein stenosis).
CONCLUSIONS
TAPVC fetuses can achieve good outcomes with integrated management during the perinatal period.
