The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is higher among individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) than in the general population. Emerging evidence indicates that the development of MASLD in patients with IBD may occur independently of traditional metabolic risk factors, suggesting a unique pathophysiological mechanism distinct from conventional MASLD pathways. Bile acids (BAs), which act as critical signaling molecules in enterohepatic circulation, play an essential role in maintaining gastrointestinal homeostasis through bidirectional gut–liver axis communication. These molecules are increasingly recognized as pivotal regulators in the progression of both MASLD and IBD. While previous studies have characterized the dynamics of BA in blood or fecal samples under both conditions, a comprehensive understanding of their metabolic profiles and the associated interactions within the gut–liver axis is still lacking. This review synthesizes current evidence from studies employing BA metabolomics to investigate IBD and MASLD. By focusing on BA signatures, we summarize conserved alterations between these two conditions and their potential mechanisms of disease progression. Our review advances understanding of BA-mediated pathways in IBD and MASLD, providing a foundation for assessing their roles in contributing to the pathogenesis of MASLD in patients with IBD.

Background: Despite the fact that an increasing number of studies have focused on developing therapies for acute lung injury, managing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a challenge in intensive care medicine.Whether the pathology of animal models with acute lung injury in prior studies differed from clinical symptoms of ARDS, resulting in questionable management for human ARDS. To evaluate precisely the therapeutic effect of trans‑ planted stem cells or medications on acute lung injury, we developed an animal model of severe ARDS with lower lung function, capable of keeping the experimental animals survive with consistent reproducibility. Establishing this animal model could help develop the treatment of ARDS with higher efficiency. Results: In this approach, we intratracheally delivered bleomycin (BLM, 5 mg/rat) into rats’ left trachea via a needle connected with polyethylene tube, and simultaneously rotated the rats to the left side by 60 degrees. Within sevendays after the injury, we found that arterial blood oxygen saturation ­(SpO2 ) significantly decreased to 83.7%, partial pressure of arterial oxygen ­(PaO2 ) markedly reduced to 65.3 mmHg, partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide ­(PaCO2 )amplified to 49.2 mmHg, and the respiratory rate increased over time. Morphologically, the surface of the left lung appeared uneven on Day 1, the alveoli of the left lung disappeared on Day 2, and the left lung shrank on Day 7. A his‑ tological examination revealed that considerable cell infiltration began on Day 1 and lasted until Day 7, with a larger area of cell infiltration. Serum levels of IL-5, IL-6, IFN-γ, MCP-1, MIP-2, G-CSF, and TNF-α substantially rose on Day 7. Conclusions This modified approach for BLM-induced lung injury provided a severe, stable, and one-sided (left-lobe) ARDS animal model with consistent reproducibility. The physiological symptoms observed in this severe ARDS animal model are entirely consistent with the characteristics of clinical ARDS. The establishment of this ARDS animal model could help develop treatment for ARDS.

Objective To investigate the occurrence and characteristics of Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA)associated vasculitis induced by methimazole,and to provide references for clinical safe drug use.Methods Case reports of ANCA associated vasculitis induced by methimazole published in Wanfang,CNKI,PubMed,and Web of Science were searched from the inception to October 31 st,2023.Demographic characteristics,drug use,complications,treatment and outcome were analyzed using descriptive statistical method.Results A total of 14 patients from 14literature were included.There were 3 males and 11 females with ages ranging from 8 to 79 years,with a mean age of(47.79±23.47)years.Four patients developed symptoms within 1 year,nine patients developed symptoms from 2 to 12 years,and 1 patient developed symptoms 24 years after medication.ANCA associated vasculitis affected kidney in 5 patients,lung and skin in 5patients,vision in 2 patients and heart in 2 patients.All patients discontinued methimazole,2 patients improved spontaneously without treatment,1 patient improved after anti-infection,and all others received hormonal or immunosuppressive therapy.1 patient developed death,and all others improved or were cured after treatment.Conclusions ANCA-associated vasculitis is a rare adverse reactionof methimazole.Most patients have a long latency period before the onset of disease,mainly involving multiple organs such asskin,kidney,lung,and eyesight.Clinicians should pay attention to differentiate it from primary vasculitis and discontinue the drug as soon as possible.When serious organ damage occurs,glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants should be adminstered promptly to avoid aggravation of the disease and endangerment of life.

Objective:To investigate the incidence,clinical characteristics,and complications of Torque teno virus(TTV)in children after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT).Methods:A total of 40 children with hematological diseases who underwent HSCT were selected,and metagenomic next-generation sequencing(mNGS)technology was used to detect the gene sequences of pathogenic microorganisms in the blood.Combined with clinical data,the characteristics of TTV infection were analyzed.Results:Among the 40 pediatric patients post-HSCT,the TTV positive rate was 42.5％(17/40).There were no statistically significant differences between the TTV-positive group and the TTV-negative group in sex,age,white blood cell count(WBC),red blood cell count(RBC),hemoglobin,platelet count,neutrophil count,lymphocyte count,and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(all P＞0.05).The incidence of TTV infection was significantly higher in children who underwent haploidentical HSCT and in those with bone marrow stem cells(BMSC)as the transplant source(P＜0.05).However,there were no significant differences in the TTV infection rate among patients with different disease types,different HLA matching statuses,or different engraftment times of neutrophils and platelets(all P＞0.05).Among 17 children infected with TTV,13(76.5％)had co-infections with other viruses,mainly including cytomegalovirus(58.8％,10/17),human polyomavirus(41.2％,7/17),and Epstein-Barr virus(17.6％,3/17).In children with TTV infection,the most common complications were sepsis(82.4％),graft-versus-host disease(GVHD)(70.6％),pulmonary infection(41.2％),and hemorrhagic cystitis(17.6％).The incidence of GVHD in the TTV-positive group was significantly higher than that in the TTV-negative group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:TTV infection is common in children undergoing HSCT,and it is prone to be complicated with cytomegalovirus infection and GVHD,which has an important influence on the clinical outcomes.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of psychological resilience between family function and post-traumatic growth in young and middle-aged stroke patients,and to provide a theoretical basis for formulating targeted intervention strategies.Methods:This study was a prospective study,a total of 80 young and middle-aged stroke patients admitted in our hospital from February 2023 to August 2024 were selected by the convenient sampling method.The general information of the patients was collected by using a self-made questionnaire,the Connor-Davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC),family care index questionnaire(APGAR)and post-traumatic growth inventory(PTGI)were used to measure psychological resilience,family function and post-traumatic growth levels respectively.The correlations among family function,post-traumatic growth and psychological resilience were analyzed through Person correlation analysis.Construct models of family function and post-traumatic growth to exam ine the mediating effect of psychological resilience,and the scatter plots of correlations and the mediating effect model diagrams were drawn.Results:There were significant differences in the scores of family function,psychological resilience and post-traumatic growth among patients with different characteristics(P＜0.05).The scores of family function,psychological resilience and post-traumatic growth of patients with characteristics such as being married,having a higher educational level,being slightly dependent on daily living skills and having their spouses as the main caregivers were significantly higher(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that family function was significantly positively correlated with psychological resilience(r=0.951,P＜0.05),family function was significantly positively correlated with post-traumatic growth(r=0.939,P＜0.05)and post-traumatic growth was significantly positively correlated with post-traumatic growth(r=0.959,P＜0.05).The structural equation model indicates that psychological resilience plays a partial mediating role between family function and post-traumatic growth,with the mediating effect accounting for 28.42％(95％CI:0.12-0.30)of the total effect.Conclusion:Family function can play an indirect role through psychological resilience to promote post-traumatic growth in young and middle-aged stroke patients,clinically,the collaborative intervention of family function and psychological resilience should be emphasized.

Aim To study the mechanism of salidro-side combined with rosavin in rats with ischemic stroke.Methods The MCAO rats was established by using thread-embolic method.The rats were divided into the sham group,MCAO group,salidroside com-bined with rosavin group,and positive control group;the drug was given continuously for seven days.Western blot was used to detect apoptosis indicators.Proteomics was used to analyse differential proteins(DEPs).STEP receptor inhibitor was injected into the lateral ventricles,the rats were administered for seven days,then the apoptosis indicators were detected.Re-sults Salidroside combined with rosavin could reduce neurological function scores in MCAO rats and inhibit cell apoptosis.Quantitative proteomics identified 496 DEPs in brain tissue and discovered core proteins STEP,p38,and CRTC1.Salidroside combined with rosavin could promote the STEP and CRTC1 while in-hibiting p38 protein.After treatment with STEP inhibi-tor,those effects were reversed.Conclusion Salidro-side combined with rosavin can inhibit cell apoptosis in MCAO rats,which is closely related to the regulation of the STEP/p38/CRTC1 signaling pathway.

Objective:The aim of this study is to investigate the main active substances of Qilin pills by high performance liq-uid chromatogre-electrostatic field orbitrap mass spectrometry(HPLC-Q-Orbitrap/MS),and explore the mechanism of its action in the treatment of asthenozoospermia by combining network pharmacology and molecular docking.Methods:(1)Qilin pills were quantita-tively and qualitatively analyzed by HPLC-Q-Orbitrap/MS.(2)The top 100 compounds in Qilin pills were screened by content analy-sis and SwissADME,and their targets were predicted.The asthenozoospermia targets were searched through the database.And a"pro-tein-protein interaction"(PPI)network was constructed.KEGG and GO analysis was performed using the DAVID database.And a"drug-target-pathway"network was constructed.(3)SailVina was used for molecular docking.Results:(1)A total of 1 275 known components were found and ranked in Qilin pills by HPLC-Q-Orbitrap/MS analysis.(2)The top 100 compounds in Qilin pills predicted a total of 1 053 targets and 184 potential therapeutic targets for asthenozoospermia.KEGG pathway analysis and GO analysis showed that the treatment of asthenozoospermia by Qilin pills may be related to the steroid hormone synthesis pathway,the response to steroid hormones,the chromosomal region of cells and the activity of steroid hydroxylase.The mechanism of Qilin pills in treating as-thenozoospermia may be related to regulating the synthesis,metabolism and reaction process of sex hormone in the body.(3)The mo-lecular docking results of its key targets(CYP19A1,ESR1,HSP90AA1,p53,HIF1α and BCL2)showed that the key active ingredi-ents M030,M039,M043,M050,M055 and M073 of Qilin pills had spontaneous binding.It had a binding energy of less than-5 kJ/mol.Conclusion:The material basis of Qilin pills has been explored by this study.And the mechanism of action of Qilin pills in the treatment of asthenozoospermia is highly bound to the expression and response process of steroid hormones,which provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of Qilin pills.
