OBJECTIVE: To investigate chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection's effect on gestational liver function, pregnancy and delivery complications, and neonatal development. METHODS: A total of 157 HCV antibody-positive (anti-HCV[+]) and HCV RNA(+) patients (Group C) and 121 anti-HCV(+) and HCV RNA(-) patients (Group B) were included as study participants, while 142 anti-HCV(-) and HCV RNA(-) patients (Group A) were the control group. Data on biochemical indices during pregnancy, pregnancy complications, delivery-related information, and neonatal complications were also collected. RESULTS: Elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) rates in Group C during early, middle, and late pregnancy were 59.87%, 43.95%, and 42.04%, respectively-significantly higher than Groups B (26.45%, 15.70%, 10.74%) and A (23.94%, 19.01%, 6.34%) ( P < 0.05). Median ALT levels in Group C were significantly higher than in Groups A and B at all pregnancy stages ( P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in neonatal malformation rates across groups ( P > 0.05). However, neonatal jaundice incidence was significantly greater in Group C (75.16%) compared to Groups A (42.25%) and B (57.02%) ( χ ² = 33.552, P < 0.001). HCV RNA positivity during pregnancy was an independent risk factor for neonatal jaundice ( OR = 2.111, 95% CI 1.242-3.588, P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Chronic HCV infection can affect the liver function of pregnant women, but does not increase the pregnancy or delivery complication risks. HCV RNA(+) is an independent risk factor for neonatal jaundice.

AIM To investigate the effects of Zuogui Jiangtang Tongmai Recipe on necroptosis pathway in a rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)complicated with cerebral infarction(CI).METHODS The SD rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group,the model group,the metformin group(0.045 g/kg),and the low,medium and high dose Zuogui Jiangtang Tongmai Recipe groups(6.5,13,26 g/kg),with 9 rats in each group.In contrast to rats of the sham operation group,rats of the other groups were given 4 weeks feeding of high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin to establish a T2DM rat model with one week stable blood glucose,followed by gavage of corresponding drugs 3 days before the establishment of the middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)model.After 7 days of administration,the rats had their CI injury assessed by mNSS method and TTC staining;their level of blood glucose detected by blood glucose meter;their levels of glycated serum protein,serum TNF-α and IL-1β detected by ELISA;their cerebral mRNA expressions of FADD,RIPK1,RIPK3 and MLKL detected by RT-qPCR;and their cerebral protein expressions of FADD,p-RIPK1,p-RIPK3 and p-MLKL detected by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the sham operation group,the model group displayed increased levels of blood glucose value,glycosylated serum protein,neurological function score,cerebral infarction volume,cerebral FADD,RIPK1,RIPK3 and MLKL mRNA expressions,cerebral FADD,p-RIPK1,p-RIPK3 and p-MLKL protein expressions,serum TNF-α and IL-1β levels(P＜0.01);and more disordered and morphologically diverse neurons with smaller nucleus.Compared with the model group,the groups intervened with medium or high dose Zuogui Jiangtang Tongmai Recipe,or metformin shared improvement in terms of the aforementioned indices(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and more neurons with regular morphology neat arrangement,and reduced cell gap.CONCLUSION Zuogui Jiangtang Tongmai Recipe can improve the neurological dysfunction of the rat model of T2DM complicated with CI,which may associate with the inhibited activation of necroptosis signaling pathway.

Cells undergo glucose metabolism reprogramming under the influence of the inflammatory microenvironment, changing their primary mode of energy supply from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis. This process is involved in all stages of inflammation-related diseases development. Glucose metabolism reprogramming not only changes the metabolic pattern of individual cells, but also disrupts the metabolic homeostasis of the body microenvironment, which further promotes aerobic glycolysis and provides favourable conditions for the malignant progression of inflammation-related diseases. The metabolic enzymes, transporter proteins, and metabolites of aerobic glycolysis are all key signalling molecules, and drugs can inhibit aerobic glycolysis by targeting these specific key molecules to exert therapeutic effects. This paper reviews the impact of glucose metabolism reprogramming on the development of inflammation-related diseases such as inflammation-related tumours, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease, and the therapeutic effects of drugs targeting glucose metabolism reprogramming on these diseases.

Objective To explore the regulatory role of transient receptor potential channel 6(TRPC6)on podocyte autophagy under the influence of homocysteine(Hcy)in mouse kidney.Methods Mouse renal podocytes were divided into control group and Hcy groups(stimulated by Hcy at 40,60,80 and 100 μmol/L for 48 h).The level of TRPC6 mRNA was assessed using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)to identify the optimal Hcy concentration for subsequent experiments.Western blotting was employed to evaluate the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins LC3 Ⅱ and p62,as well as the expression levels of podocyte structural proteins Nephrin and Podocin.The expression levels of TRPC6 mRNA and protein in both groups were determined using qRT-PCR,Western blotting and immunofluorescence.Transfections of cells with TRPC6 overexpression or interference were set as follows:(1)control group(untreated),negative control group of TRPC6 overexpression,and TRPC6 overexpression group;(2)control group(untreated),negative control group of TRPC6 interference,and TRPC6 interference group(si-1,si-2,si-3).The expression level of TRPC6 was detected using qRT-PCR.The cells after overexpressing or interfering of TRPC6 were further set as follows:(1)control group(untreated),Hcy group(80 μmol/L Hcy added),TRPC6 overexpression control+Hcy group,TRPC6 overexpression+Hcy group;(2)control group(untreated),Hcy group,TRPC6 interference control+Hcy group,and TRPC6 interference+Hcy group.The expression levels of p62,LC3 Ⅱ,and TRPC6 proteins were detected using Western blotting.Results qRT-PCR detection results showed that compared with control group,the expression level of TRPC6 mRNA in Hcy group increased with the increase of Hcy concentration,with the highest expression level observed at 80 μmol/L Hcy.Therefore,80 μmol/L Hcy was selected as the optimal concentration for intervention.At this time,the expression level of autophagy-related protein LC3 Ⅱ increased,and the expression level of p62 decreased(P<0.05).Western blotting results showed that compared with control group,the expression levels of podocyte-related proteins Nephrin and Podocin in Hcy group were significantly decreased(P<0.05).qRT-PCR results showed that compared with control group,the expression level of TRPC6 mRNA in Hcy group was significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with negative control group for TRPC6 overexpression,both mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPC6 in TRPC6 overexpression group were significantly higher(P<0.05).Compared with negative control group for TRPC6 interference,both mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPC6 in TRPC6 interference group were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Western blotting results showed that compared with negative control group for TRPC6 overexpression,the expression level of autophagy-related protein LC3 Ⅱ in TRPC6 overexpression+Hcy group was significantly increased,and the expression level of p62 was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with TRPC6 negative control+Hcy group for TRPC6 interference+Hcy,the expression level of autophagy-related protein LC3 Ⅱ in TRPC6 interference+Hcy group was significantly decreased,and the expression level of p62 was significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Hcy can induce autophagy of renal podocytes.Inhibiting the expression of TRPC6 can significantly reduce the autophagy damage to podocytes.
