Objective To investigate the effect of Qingchi Powder(composed of calamina,Halloysitum Rubrum,Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex,Sophorae Flavescentis Radix,Catechu,Indigo Naturalis,Rhizoma Bletillae,and Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma powder)retention enema on intestinal flora and Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/NOD-like receptor thermoprotein domain-related protein 3(NLRP3)signaling pathway in peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC)of children with ulcerative colitis(UC).Methods A total of 100 children with UC were randomly divided into control group and study group,with 50 cases in each group.The control group was treated with oral administration of Mesalazin Enteric-Coated Tablets,and the study group was treated with Qingchi Powder retention enema on the basis of treatment for the control group.The treatment for the two groups lasted for 8 consecutive weeks.Before and after treatment,the distribution of intestinal flora and the relative mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and NLRP3 in PBMC,serum contents of TLR4 and NLRP3 protein,and serum levels of inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukin 1β(IL-1β)and interleukin 6(IL-6)in the two groups were observed.After treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated,and Spearman test was used to analyze the correlation of total effective rate with the relative mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and NLRP3 in PBMC and serum contents of TLR4 and NLRP3 protein.Results(1)After 8 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the study group was 94.00%(47/50),and that of the control group was 70.00%(35/50).The intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)showed that the efficacy of the study group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.01).(2)After treatment,the number of Enterococcus and Enterobacteriaceae in the two groups was significantly lowered(P＜0.05),and the number of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus was significantly increased compared with that before treatment(P＜0.05).After treatment,the number of Enterococcus and Enterobacteriaceae in the study group was significantly lower(P＜0.05)and the number of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).(3)After treatment,the mRNA relative expression levels of TLR4 and NLRP3 in PBMC of the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,the serum TLR4 and NLRP3 protein levels in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).(5)After treatment,the levels of serum inflammatory factors of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 in the two groups significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).(6)Spearman correlation analysis showed that the mRNA relative expression levels of TLR4 and NLRP3 in PBMC and serum TLR4 and NLRP3 protein levels in children with UC were significantly negatively correlated with the total effective rate of curative effect(P＜0.001).Conclusion Qingchi Powder retention enema can down-regulate the expression levles of key signaling molecules of TLR4/NLRP3 pathway in PBMC of children with UC,regulate the intestinal flora of children,and improve the inflammatory response.It has significant curative effect and is worthy of expanding its application in clinic.

Objective:To examine the attentional processing of verbal emotional information in college students with subclinical depression.Methods:Fifty college students were recruited(24 with subclinical depression group and 26 in the control group)were recruited from a university in Liaoning Province to investigate the atten-tional bias of subclinically depressed college students towards verbal emotional information(experiment 1).In addi-tion,48 college students(20 with subclinical depression and 28 in the control group)were recruited to investigate the attention disengagement of subclinically depressed college students from verbal emotional information(experi-ment 2).In experiment 1,two groups passively viewed words and recorded the eye movement data of emotional words.In experiment 2,two groups were asked to watch the emotional word-neutral word pair.When color borders were presented around neutral words,the attention disengagement latency that was the time taken by the eye saccade from emotional words to neutral words was recorded.Results:The results of experiment 1 showed that the total fix-ation duration of negative words in the subclinical depression group was longer than that in the control group(P＜0.01).The results of experiment 2 showed that attention disengagement latency of negative words in the subclinical depression group was longer than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:College students with subclini-cal depression exhibit attentional bias towards negative verbal information and difficulties in attentional disengage-ment.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the molecular epidemiological characteristics of clinical Haemophilus influ-enzae(Hin)isolates from adults and children with community-acquired pneumonia(CAP)so as to provide theo-retical bases for effective prevention and treatment of Hin infection.METHODS The patients who were hospital-ized in respiratory and critical care medicine department and pediatrics department of Xinjiang Production and Con-struction Corps Hospital due to CAP from Jan.2023 to Dec.2024 were enrolled in the study,and the positive rates of Hin in sputum specimens were statistically analyzed.The clinical distribution and results of drug suscepti-bility testing for Hin strains were observed and compared between the adults with CAP and the children with CAP.The capsular types,drug resistance genes and multilocus sequencing typing(MLST)subtypes were detected for 72 strains of Hin.RESULTS The positive rate of Hin was higher among the children with CAP(9.46％)than among the adults with CAP(2.71％).The Hin was more prevalent among the children with CAP than among the adults,it was highly prevalent in autumn and winter,with the population dominated by the children aged between 13 and 17 years old(12.67％).The positive rate of β-lactamase-producing Hin strains was 74.71％among the a-dult patients and 90.17％among the children,respectively;the drug resistance rates to ampicillin were highest(73.86％and 92.57％),the drug resistance rates of the strains isolated from the children to the two types of β-lac-tams were higher than those of the strains isolated from the adults(P＜0.05).The non-typeable Hin strains(94.45％)were the predominant type among the 72 strains of Hin,the production of β-lactamase mediated by blaTEM-1 was the major drug resistance mechanism.The result of MLST showed that CC155(ST-155),CC11(ST-103)and CC107(ST-1002)were the main subtypes.CONCLUSIONS The β-lactamase-producing non-typeable Hin strains are dominant among the Hin strains isolated from the adults and children with CAP in this area.The isolation rate of the strains is high among the children than among the adults.The strains are highly prevalent in autumn and winter,and ST-155 is the predominant clone type.The strains are highly resistant to ampicillin,which should be attached great importance to.

BACKGROUND: Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) is extensively used in the treatment of various tumors. However, its clinical application is limited due to dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Currently, few effective strategies exist to mitigate or eliminate DOX-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC). Although ferroptosis is implicated in DIC and its inhibition partially alleviates the condition, the direct targets of DOX in the progression of cardiotoxicity remain unclear. This study aimed to discover the direct targets of DOX in ferroptosis-mediated DIC. METHODS: A DOX pulldown assay was performed to identify proteins specifically binding to DOX in murine hearts, followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify candidate proteins. A cardiac injury mouse model was established by DOX treatment. Based on this, multiple ferroptosis biomarkers were detected by flow cytometry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, immunochemistry, etc. Besides, specific activator and inhibitor of signaling pathways were applied to illuminate molecular mechanisms. RESULTS: Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) was identified as a DOX target. GSTP1 activity was inhibited in DOX-treated cardiomyocytes, while its overexpression significantly alleviated DIC. Moreover, GSTP1 overexpression inhibited acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4)-dependent ferroptosis. Mechanistically, GSTP1 overexpression suppressed c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation, thereby reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and inhibiting ferroptosis in DIC. CONCLUSIONS This study identifies the DOX/GSTP1/JNK axis as a critical pathway mediating ACSL4-dependent ferroptosis in DIC. GSTP1 is highlighted as a potential key mediator of ferroptosis and a promising therapeutic target for DIC.
