It is well established that blood pressure plays a critical role in the onset of stroke. In recent years, the trajectory of blood pressure has emerged as a novel focus in stroke research, as it is associated with stroke incidence, recurrence, outcomes, and prognosis. Accurately identifying various blood pressure trajectories and exploring their developmental patterns are of significant importance for implementing targeted interventions aimed at reducing the burden of stroke. Consequently, this article reviews the progress of research related to the concept, indicators, and research models of blood pressure trajectories, as well as the mechanisms underlying blood pressure variation and the relationship between blood pressure trajectories and stroke, in order to provide new insights for the prevention and control of stroke.

Objective:To observe the feelings of listening to music and the importance of music in the daily life of post-lingual deaf adults with cochlear implants, and to explore the relevant influencing factors.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey study. From January 2021 to August 2021,the Music-Related Quality of Life Scale was used to evaluate the music needs and music experiences of 63 post-lingual deaf adults who met the inclusion criteria, including 27 males and 36 females, aged (40.7±12.3) years, at the time of surgery (36.8±13.1) years, and with a preoperative hearing aid ineffective time of (3.9±5.8) years. Indicators analyzed included age, duration of ineffective preoperative hearing aid wear, preoperative music preference, duration of postoperative cochlear implant use, current hearing aid modality, and auditory rehabilitation outcomes. Whether the six factors mentioned above constituted an influence on the subjects′ music listening was investigated using SPSS 25.0 statistical software.Results:All of the observations in the scale were correlated with a single factor. The two sub-dimensions of music experience section were related to the effect of auditory rehabilitation. In the importance section, the effect of auditory rehabilitation was the influential factor of the dimension of "participation importance", and the preoperative enjoyment of music was the relevant influential factor of the dimension of "perceived importance". There was a significant difference between the groups when they were grouped by the above factors ( P value<0.05), while there was no statistically significance between the groups when they were grouped by other factors ( P value>0.05). Conclusions:Post-lingual deaf adults show the need and attempt to listen to music after cochlear implantation. The effectiveness of auditory rehabilitation and the degree of music preference preoperatively are two important factors that influence music listening in implant recipients. Once the level of auditory communication has been restored to a certain degree, it is important to pay more attention to the needs of music for implant recipients and train them in time, especially for those with music preferences preoperatively.

Inflammatory caspase-11 senses and is activated by intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) leading to pyroptosis that has critical role in defensing against bacterial infection, whereas its excess activation under pathogenic circumstances may cause various inflammatory diseases. However, there are few known drugs that can control caspase-11 activation. We report here that scutellarin, a flavonoid from Erigeron breviscapus, acted as an inhibitor for caspase-11 activation in macrophages. Scutellarin dose-dependently inhibited intracellular LPS-induced release of caspase-11p26 (indicative of caspase-11 activation) and generation of N-terminal fragment of gasdermin D (GSDMD-NT), leading to reduced pyroptosis. It also suppressed the activation of non-canonical nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome as evidenced by reduced apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) speck formation and decreased interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and caspase-1p10 secretion, whereas the NLRP3-specific inhibitor MCC950 only inhibited IL-1β and caspase-1p10 release and ASC speck formation but not pyroptosis. Scutellarin also suppressed LPS-induced caspase-11 activation and pyroptosis in RAW 264.7 cells lacking ASC expression. Moreover, scutellarin treatment increased Ser/Thr phosphorylation of caspase-11 at protein kinase A (PKA)-specific sites, and its inhibitory action on caspase-11 activation was largely abrogated by PKA inhibitor H89 or by adenylyl cyclase inhibitor MDL12330A. Collectively, our data indicate that scutellarin inhibited caspase-11 activation and pyroptosis in macrophages at least partly via regulating the PKA signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE:To study th e improvement effect and mechanism of Dajianzhong decoction on irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)visceral pain model rats. METHODS :Totally 48 male non-weaning rats were randomly divided into normal control group ,model group ,pinaverium bromide group (positive control ,45 mg/kg)and Dajianzhong decoction high-dose , medium-dose and low-dose groups (2.16,1.08,0.54 g/kg,by crude drug ),with 8 rats in each group. Except for normal control group,IBS visceral pain model was established by mother and child separation ,acetic acid enema ,ovalbumin intraperitoneal Remote limb precondition - ing protects against ischemia induced neuronal death through ameliorating neuronal oxidative DNA damage injection in other groups for 57 d. On the 58th day ,the rats in administration groups were given the corresponding drugs intragastrically,and model group and normal control group were given constant volume of purified water ,once a day ,for consecutive 14 d. The general condition of rats was observed ;abdominal wall withdrawal reaction (AWR)was adopted to evaluate the visceral sensitivity of rats in each group under 20,40,60,and 80 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)pressure;HE staining method was used to observe the colon pathological features of rats in each group. Western blotting assay was used to detect the protein expression of intestinal glial cells markers fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP),nerve growth factor (NGF)and its receptor TrkA in colon tissue. RESULTS :The mucosal layer of colon tissue in rats of model group was discontinuous ,gland edema was observed and lymphocytes ,neutrophils and eosinophils were scattered in the lamina propria. In Dajianzhong decoction low-does group,the mucosal layer of colon tissue was incomplete ,some glands were slightly edematous ,and a few lymphocytes , neutrophils in the lamina propria. The colonic mucosa epithelial structure was intact ,glands arranged regularly ,and no degenerative necrosis and inflammatory cells were observed in Dajianzhong decoction medium- and high-dose groups and pinaverium bromide group. Compared with normal control group ,AWR scores under 20,40,and 60 mmHg pressure ,relative protein expression of GFAR ,NGF and TrkA were all increased significantly in model group and Dajianzhong decoction low-does groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group ,AWR scores under 20,and 40 mmHg pressure in Dajianzhong decoction medium- and high-dose groups and pinaverium bromide group ,AWR scores under 60 mmHg pressure in Dajianzhong decoction high-dose group and pinaverium bromide group ,relative protein expression of GFAP ,NGF,TrkA in colon tissue in Dajianzhong decoction medium- and high-dose groups and pinaverium bromide group were all decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :Dajianzhong decoction could improve the visceral pain of IBS model rats by inhibiting the activation of intestinal glial cells and reducing the expression of NGF and TrkA.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of stilbene glucoside (TSG)on the proliferation and estrogen receptor (ER)of human breast cancer T- 47D cells ,and to explore its estrogen-like effect and potential mechanism. METHODS :Taking ER positive human breast cancer T- 47D cells as subjects ,using β-estradiol(β-E2,1×10-8 mol/L)as positive control ,CCK-8 assay was used to detect the cell proliferation after treated with different concentrations of TSG (1×10-8,1×10-7,1×10-6,1×10-5,1×10-4 mol/L)for 24,48,72 h;the cell proliferation rate was calculated. Western blotting assay and RT-PCR methods were adopted to detect the protein and mRNA expression of ER-α and ER-β in cells after treated with low,medium and high concentrations of TSG (1×10-8, 1×10-6,1×10-4 mol/L)for 48 h. RESULTS :After treated with different concentrations of TSG for 24,48,72 h,the cell proliferation rate of each administration group at each time point (except for β-E2 group at 48 h)increased significantly ,compared with blank group ;those of TSG groups (1×10-5,1×10-6,1×10-7 mol/L)were significantly higher than β-E2 group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). After treated with low ,medium and high concentrations of TSG for 48 h,protein and mRNA expression of ER-α and ER-β in cells were increased significantly,compared with blank group (P<0.05 or P<0.01);protein expression of ER-β in TSG low concentration group ,mRNA expression of ER-α in TSG groups as well as mRNA expression of ER-β in TSG low and high concentration groups were significantly higher than β-E2 group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :TSG can induce the in vitro proliferation of T- 47D cells and exert estrogen-like effects by promoting protein and mRNA expression of ER-α and ER-β, which is stronger than that of β-E2 at a certain concentration.
