Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), caused by cerebrovascular dysfunction, severely impacts the quality of life in the elderly population, yet effective therapeutic approaches remain limited. Mitophagy, a selective mitochondrial quality-control mechanism, has emerged as a critical focus in neurological disease research. Accumulating evidence indicates that mitophagy modulates oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neuronal apoptosis. Key signaling pathways associated with mitophagy—including PINK1/Parkin, BNIP3/Nix, FUNDC1, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and AMPK—have been identified as potential therapeutic targets for VCI. This review summarizes the mechanistic roles of mitophagy in VCI pathogenesis and explores emerging therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways, aiming to provide novel insights for clinical intervention and advance the development of effective treatments for VCI.

There is significant inter-individual variation of pharmacokinetics and pharmacody-namics in patients receiving tacrolimus(TAC)for an-ti-rejection therapy,which cause the rejection or toxic action.Based on results of therapeutic drug monitoring and pathophysiological index of trans-plant patients,the individualized dosing regimen can be designed and adjusted by using model in-formed precision dosing(MIPD).The patients'clini-cal outcome can be improved.In the consensus,the different methods of MIPD used for patients re-ceived TAC for anti-rejection therapy were intro-duced,which can be used for the designing and ad-justing doing regimen,predicting adverse drug reac-tion,improving medication adherence and econom-ics during therapy.

Objective:To study the clinicopathological features of Sjogren′s syndrome (SS) with liver injury and to improve the understanding of this disease.Methods:Forty-nine patients with SS complicated with liver injury were collected from Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 2008 to January 2022. All patients underwent ultrasound-guided liver biopsy, and all specimens were stained with HE. The histopathologic characteristics were observed and the pathologic indexes were graded. Immunohistochemical stains for CK7, CK19, CD38, MUM1 and CD10 were performed by EnVision method; and special histochemical stains for reticulin, Masson′s trichrome, Rhodanine, Prussian blue, periodic acid Schiff (PAS) and D-PAS stains were conducted .Results:The age of patients ranged from 31 to 66 years, including 3 males and 46 females. SS combined with drug-induced liver injury was the most common (22 cases, 44.9%), followed by autoimmune liver disease (13 cases, 26.5%, including primary biliary cholangitis in eight cases, autoimmune hepatitis in 3 cases, and PBC-AIH overlap syndrome in 2 cases), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD, 9 cases, 18.4%) and other lesions (5 cases, 10.2%; including 3 cases of nonspecific liver inflammation, 1 case of liver amyloidosis, and 1 case of porto-sinusoidal vascular disease). Among them, 28 cases (57.1%) were associated with obvious interlobular bile duct injury, mainly in SS combined with PBC group and drug-induced liver injury group. Twenty-three cases (46.9%) were associated with hepatocyte steatosis of varying degrees. In SS with autoimmune liver disease group, ISHAK score, degree of fibrosis bile duct injury, bile duct remodeling, lymphocyte infiltration of portal area, and plasma cell infiltration, MUM1 and CD38 expression; serum ALP and GGT, IgM; elevated globulin; positive AMA, proportion of AMA-M2 positive and IgM positive were all significantly higher than those in other groups(all P<0.05). Serum ALT, direct bilirubin and SSA positive ratio in SS combined with drug liver group were significantly higher than those in other groups(all P<0.05). The serum total cholesterol level in SS combined with PBC group ( P=0.006) and NALFD group ( P=0.011) were significantly higher than those in other groups ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The pathologic manifestations of SS patients with liver injury are varied. The inflammatory lesions of SS patients with autoimmune liver disease are the most serious, and the inflammatory lesions of SS patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-specific inflammation are mild. Comprehensive analysis of liver histopathologic changes and laboratory findings is helpful for the diagnosis of SS complicated with different types of liver injury.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of rashes in monkeypox patients through a series of skin biopsies, and examine their pathological features and the most effective tests.Methods:Patients with monkeypox virus infection admitted to Beijing Ditan Hospital from June to August 2023 were identified. Among them, 24 patients underwent skin biopsies for clinical pathological study that were included in this study. Clinical information, rash pictures, and nucleic acid test results were analyzed using histopathology, immunohistochemistry, RNAscope ? hybridization and electron microscopy. Results:All 24 patients were male, including 14 patients with concurrent human immunodeficiency virus infection. Their average age was (32.3±5.4) years. The nucleic acid test confirmed monkeypox virus infection. The clinical feature of monkeypox rashes was solitary rather than clustered distribution, with rashes occurring in similar phase, distinguishing it from herpesvirus. The rashes in these patients were mostly scattered, with an average of (13.0±11.8) rashes, and most commonly present in the perineum, face, limbs, and trunk. The three main pathological features of these rashes were ballooning degeneration of the epidermal spinous cell layer, the characteristic intra-cytoplasmic Guarnieri′s bodies and significant infiltration of inflammatory cells in whole dermal layer. Immunohistochemistry, RNAscope ? hybridization, and electron microscopy can all effectively detect the monkeypox virus. Electron microscopy showed viral replication in various types of skin cells. Conclusions:The study describes the pathological features of monkeypox virus rashes. Pathological examination of skin biopsy samples is helpful to diagnose these rashes. The study suggests that the monkeypox virus has a unique epitheliotropic affinity and can infect various types of cells in the skin.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of amoebic enteritis with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients.Methods:The clinical data of patients diagnosed of amoebic enteritis in Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University from April 2011 to October 2019 were collected. They were divided into amoebic enteritis group and amoebic enteritis with AIDS group. The laboratory indexes, pathological examination and colonoscopic appearance of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics of amoeba enteritis with AIDS patient were summarized. Pearson chi-square test, continuous calibration chi-square test, Fisher′s exact test, independent sample t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 53 patients with amoebic enteritis were included, including 31 cases in amoebic enteritis group and 22 cases in amoebic enteritis with AIDS group. The detection rate of amoebic trophozoite in cases feces in amoebic enteritis with AIDS group was lower than that in amebic enteritis group (68.2%(15/22) vs 96.8%(30/31)) with statistical significance ( χ2=6.13, P=0.013). The detection rate of amoebic trophozoite by colonoscopy in amoebic enteritis with AIDS was higher than that in amebic enteritis group (7/15 vs 1/16) with statistical significance (Fisher′s exact test, P=0.015). Amoebic enteritis with AIDS cases had lower levels of red blood cell count ((3.48±0.80)×10 12/L vs (4.11±0.81)×10 12/L), hemoglobin ((102.40±25.74) g/L vs (121.52±22.73) g/L), albumin ((29.07±5.94) g/L vs (35.48±6.92) g/L), CD4 + T-lymphocyte counts (76.00 (26.25, 228.50)/μL vs 514.50 (444.00, 752.25)/μL) than patients with amoebic enteritis, which were all statistically significant ( t=2.80, 2.86, 3.52 and Z=-5.27, respectively, all P<0.050). And amoebic enteritis with AIDS cases had higher level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (21.00 (12.85, 41.33) U/L vs 13.40 (9.40, 22.40) U/L, Z=-2.32, P=0.020). The results of colonoscopy showed that amoebic enteritis with AIDS cases had higher rate of intestinal mucosa ulcer than amoebic enteritis cases ((11/15 vs 5/16) Fisher′s exact test, P=0.032). Conclusions:Amoebic enteritis with AIDS cases have lower levels of red blood cells, hemoglobin, albumin and CD4 + T-lymphocyte counts and higher levels of ALT. Amoebic enteritis with AIDS cases have higher rate of intestinal mucosa ulcer detected by colonoscopy. Colonoscopy combined with biopsy play an important role in the diagnosis of amoebic enteritis with AIDS patients.
