BACKGROUND:Agomelatine is a clinically proven treatment for neuropsychiatric symptoms,such as anxiety and depression.Furthermore,our previous study has demonstrated that agomelatine ameliorates cognitive behaviors,hippocampal synaptic plasticity,and brain pathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.However,it remains unclear whether agomelatine can improve anxiety and depression-like behaviors in Alzheimer's disease model mice. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the improving effects of agomelatine on anxiety-and depression-like behaviors in APP/PS1 transgenic mice and its underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS:(1)Eighteen APP/PS1 transgenic mice were randomly divided into model control group(n=9)and model intervention group(n=9).Another wild-type mice were randomized into control group(n=9)and intervention group(n=9).Model intervention group and intervention group were intraperitoneally injected with 10 mg/kg agomelatine per day for 31 continuous days.Behavioral experiments,including the elevated cross maze and forced swimming tests,and mRNA sequencing of the hippocampus were then performed.(2)Mouse hippocampal neuronal cell lines(HT22)and brain microvascular endothelial cell lines(bEnd.3)were cultured and divided into four groups:blank group without any drug,drug group with 20 μmol/L agomelatine,model group with 10 μmol/L β-amyloid 1-42,and experimental group with 10 μmol/L β-amyloid 1-42+20 μmol/L agomelatine.After 24 hours of incubation,protein expression of S416p-tau and S9p-GSK3β in HT22 cells was detected by immunoblotting,and protein expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 and glycosylation end-product receptor in bEnd.3 cells was detected by immunoblotting. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the elevated plus maze test,the time spent in the open arms(P＜0.01)and the entries into open arms(P＜0.05)in the mice of model control group were evidently lower than those in the control group,whereas those were obviously increased in the model intervention group compared with the model control group(P＜0.05).Forced swimming test results showed that the immobile time exhibited a marked increase in the model control group compared with the control group(P＜0.05),but it was significantly decreased in the model intervention group compared with the model control group(P＜0.05).Hippocampal tissue mRNA sequencing showed that agomelatine enhanced the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 in the hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice.Western blot analysis revealed that the level of S416p-tau in HT22 cells was higher in the model group than the blank group(P＜0.05),while it was markedly decreased in the experimental group compared with the model group(P＜0.05);the level of S9p-GSK3β in HT22 cells was higher in the drug group than the blank group(P＜0.05)as well as higher in the experimental group than the model group(P＜0.05).Moreover,the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 in bEnd.3 cells was higher in the experimental group than the model group(P＜0.05).To conclude,agomelatine can alleviate anxiety-and depression-like behaviors in Alzheimer's disease mice by promoting the clearance of β-amyloid and phosphorylated tau.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the metabolic changes in MEG-01 megakaryocytes after treatment with linezolid （LZD） from metabolomic perspective and its impact on the the proliferation of cells and generation of platelet precursors. METHODS MEG-01 cells were seeded in proliferation medium and divided into blank control group （untreated）， solvent control group （4‰DMSO）， and 100， 200， 400， 800 μg/mL LZD groups. The proliferation status of cells in each group was observed under the microscope； cell proliferation and viability were assessed. Cells were also seeded in differentiation medium and divided into blank control group （untreated）， solvent control group （4‰DMSO）， and 400 μg/mL LZD group； after 14 days of culture， platelet precursor generation was observed under the microscope； immunofluorescence staining was performed to count the proportion of cells producing pseudopodia， the relative length of pseudopodia was measured， and the expression levels of CD41 and CD42b mRNA were assessed. Cells from the solvent control group and the 400 μg/mL LZD group， cultured in differentiation medium for 14 days， were extracted and subjected to non-targeted metabolomics and targeted energy metabolomics analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The relative content of pyruvate in cells， after being cultured for 14 days with the addition of pyruvate （10 mmol/L） or LZD （400 μg/mL）+pyruvate （10 mmol/L）， was measured and observed， as well as its effects on cell proliferation and platelet precursor generation. RESULTS 400 μg/mL LZD could significantly inhibit the proliferation of MEG-01 cells and the generation of platelet precursors （P＜0.01）. Non-targeted metabolomic analysis of MEG-01 cells after 400 μg/mL LZD treatment revealed significant changes in energy metabolism-related pathways such as mTOR signaling pathway， alanine， aspartate and glutamate metabolism， and central carbon metabolism in cancer. Targeted energy metabolomic analysis further showed that the relative contents of adenosine triphosphate， guanosine triphosphate， and pyruvate in MEG-01 cells were significantly reduced （P＜0.01）， while the relative contents of lactate were significantly increased （P＜0.01）. Compared with the LZD group， the relative content of pyruvate， cell count， the proportion of cells producing pseudopodia and the relative length of pseudopodia were significantly increased in the LZD+pyruvate group （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS LZD may reduce pyruvate production by inhibiting mitochondrial energy metabolism， thereby suppressing megakaryocyte proliferation and platelet precursor production， ultimately leading to the occurrence of thrombocytopenia.

Objective To construct,implement and evaluate the effectiveness of the virtual simulation technology-based prenatal health education course.Methods The curriculum included 4 parts:"warm delivery room and easy delivery","medicated analgesic delivery","non-medicated analgesic delivery"and"early maternal and infant health care".From May to September 2022,100 primiparas in an obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Zhejiang Province were investigated by convenient sampling method.Random number table method was used to divide the participants into an experimental group and a control group,with 50 participants per group.The control group received conventional health education,while the experimental group received an augmented virtual reality technology-based prenatal health education course during the late stages of pregnancy on this basis.We conducted a post-intervention comparative analysis of antenatal anxiety levels,fear of childbirth,and birth outcomes between the 2 groups.Furthermore,a post-intervention satisfaction survey was administered to the experimental group.Results After intervention,the antenatal anxiety of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group(x2=4.943,P=0.026),and the decrease in fear of childbirth scores was higher than that of the control group(t=3.200,P=0.002).The experimental group was highly satisfied with all of the 4 dimensions of the course,and the overall evaluation was(31.8±3.23)points.However,there were no significant differences in vaginal delivery rate,postpartum bleeding volume,postpartum hemorrhage incidence,perineal injury degree and duration of each labor stage between the 2 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The virtual reality technology-based prenatal health education course was effective in improving the antenatal anxiety and fear of childbirth of primipara,and the use satisfaction is high.

To reduce the subjectivity and uncertainty present in the current international methods of drug value pricing when converting value into monetary prices,based on the hedonic pricing theory,it considers the post-negotiation price between manufacturers and payers as a reasonable price reference in the value pricing of Chinese patent medicine.By constructing an indicator system for the characteristics of Chinese patent medicine,it selects and measures the value characteristic variables that affect the price of Chinese patent medicine.It serves as the theoretical foundation and research basis for establishing a Hedonic price model between characteristic price variables and negotiation prices,thereby promoting the enhancement of rationality and objectivity in value-guided pricing of Chinese patent medicine.
