ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Buzhong Yiqitang in attenuating cisplatin resistance in non-small cell lung cancer by observing the effects of Buzhong Yiqitang on endoplasmic reticulum stress-related molecules in human lung adenocarcinoma cells （A549） and cisplatin-resistant cells in human lung adenocarcinoma cells （A549/DDP） via the nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2（Nrf2）/reactive oxygen species（ROS） pathway. MethodsThe serum containing Buzhong Yiqitang was prepared and A549 cells and A549/DDP cells were cultured. The cells were randomized into groups A （A549 cells+blank serum）， B （A549 cells+20 mg·L^-1 cisplatin+blank serum）， C （A549 cells+20 mg·L^-1 cisplatin+10% Buzhong Yiqitang-containing serum）， D （A549/DDP cells+blank serum）， E （A549/DDP cells+20 mg·L^-1 cisplatin+blank serum）， and F （A549/DDP cells+20 mg·L^-1 cisplatin+10% Buzhong Yiqitang-containing serum）. The cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） method was used to detect the half maximal inhibitory concentration （IC₅₀） of cisplatin. The protein levels of Nrf2 and p-Nrf2 were determined by Western blotting. The DCFH-DA fluorescent probe was used to measure the content of reactive oxygen species （ROS） in each group. The protein levels of glucose-regulated protein 78 （GRP78）， activated transcription factor 6 （ATF6）， and C/EBP-homologous protein （CHOP） were determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with group B， group C showed a reduction in IC₅₀ of cisplatin （P<0.05）， which held true in group E compared with group F （P<0.05）. Moreover， the IC₅₀ of cisplatin to A549/DDP cells was higher than that to A549 cells before and after Buzhong Yiqitang intervention （P<0.05）. Compared with group A， group B showed up-regulated protein levels of Nrf2 and p-Nrf2 （P<0.05）. Compared with group B， group C showed down-regulated protein levels of Nrf2 and p-Nrf2 （P<0.05）. Compared with group D， group E showed up-regulated protein levels of Nrf2 and p-Nrf2 （P<0.05）， which， however， were significantly down-regulated in group F （P<0.05）. The ROS content and the protein levels of GRP78， ATF6， and CHOP followed a descending trend of group C > group B > group A in A549 cells and group F > group E > group D in A549/DDP cells （P<0.05）. Moreover， the ROS content and the protein levels of GRP78， ATF6， and CHOP in A549 cells were higher than those in A549/DDP cells before and after Buzhong Yiqitang intervention （P<0.05）. ConclusionBuzhong Yiqitang may regulate endoplasmic reticulum stress via the Nrf2/ROS pathway to attenuate cisplatin resistance in non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the preservation efficacy of 7 non-inactivating virus preservation solutions.Methods:Equal amounts of H1N1 virus were added to 7 commercially available non-inactivating virus preservation solutions, and the samples were stored at -20 ℃, 4 ℃, 25 ℃ and 37 ℃ for 1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days. The viral nucleic acid in each simulated sample under different storage conditions was measured using real-time quantitative PCR. The hemagglutination (HA) titer was determined through viral isolation culture and hemagglutination assay, comparing the differences in viral growth activity across different storage solutions and conditions.Results:Except for solution E, the other solutions effectively protected viral nucleic acid at the 4 storage temperatures. In terms of viral activity, solutions A, B, C, and D effectively maintained viral viability. A and B showing the best performance, E and F showed poorer performance, and G performed the worst.Conclusions:Most non-inactivating virus preservation solutions effectively protect viral nucleic acid, but there are significant differences in their ability to maintain viral viability. To ensure optimal virus preservation, it is recommended that medical institutions evaluate the effectiveness of preservation solutions before use.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of children with anti-GT1a antibody-positive Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).Methods:A case series study was conducted, including 25 children diagnosed with serum anti-GT1a antibody-positive GBS at Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from March 2019 to December 2024. Clinical data, treatment protocols, and follow-up outcomes were analyzed. Mann Whitney U test was used to compare the changes in Hughes functional grading scale (HFGS). Results:A total of 25 children included 12 boys and 13 girls, and the age at first onset was (71±8) months. There were 16 children (64%) had preceding infections, and of which 13 children had predominantly respiratory tract infections. At disease peak, neurological manifestations included limb weakness (21 cases (84%)), bulbar palsy (13 cases (52%)), drowsiness (7 cases (28%)), limb pain (9 cases (36%)), ataxia (6 cases (24%)), respiratory muscle paralysis (5 cases (20%)), ophthalmoplegia (5 cases (20%)), and unilateral facial nerve palsy (4 cases (16%)). Cerebrospinal fluid analysis in 23 children revealed albuminocytological dissociation in 18 children. All 25 children underwent whole-spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), demonstrated spinal nerve root enhancement in 18 children, with leptomeningeal enhancement combined with spinal nerve root enhancement in 1 child. Electromyography in 16 children showed 15 children abnormality, of which demyelinating lesions in 8 children, mixed demyelinating-axonal changes in 4 children, and pure axonal involvement in 3 children. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was administered to 21 cases (84%), of which 3 children required mechanical ventilation and blood purification (plasma exchange in 2 children and immunoadsorption in 1 child) due to disease progression. Four children (16%) received intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) instead of IVIG, with 1 child requiring ventilatory support due to respiratory muscle paralysis, and the tracheal tube was removed after continued sequential IVMP treatment. The hospitalization duration of 25 children was (23±3) d. At discharge, HFGS was 1.6 (0.6, 2.7) score. At a follow-up of 12 (4, 18) months, HFGS was 0.1 (0.0, 0.5) score, and higher than that at discharge ( Z=4.38, P<0.05). Two children relapsed but achieved remission after IVIG retreatment with no recurrence during 1-year follow-up. Conclusions:Anti-GT1a antibody-positive GBS in children predominantly presents with limb weakness and bulbar palsy, occasionally complicated by respiratory failure in the acute phase. Demyelinating neuropathy and spinal nerve root enhancement on MRI are characteristic. IVIG therapy yields favorable outcomes, with low residual disability. Relapses are rare but manageable with re-treatment.

Atherosclerosis(AS)is an inflammatory cardiovascular disease characterized by plaque accumulation in the arterial wall,leading to increased morbidity and mortality of related cardiovascular disorders.The main pathological mechanisms of AS include lipid deposition,oxidative stress,and chronic inflammation,with disease progression involving endothelial cell dysfunction,macrophage polarization,foam cell formation,and smooth muscle cell proliferation or apoptosis.Mitochondria are essential organelles that provide energy for cellular metabolism,and the mitochondrial quality control(MQC)system is the fundamental mechanism maintaining mitochondrial functional homeostasis.MQC dysfunction can induce vascular phenotype changes through pathways such as oxidative stress,apoptosis,and inflammation,thereby promoting the progression of AS.Therefore,targeting MQC to regulate mitochondrial function may become a new direction for the treatment of AS.This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms of MQC,including mitochondrial biogenesis,mitochondrial dynamics,and mitochondrial autophagy(mitophagy),and further elucidates the role of abnormal MQC in the pathological processes of AS,aiming to provide a scientific basis for identifying potential targets to delay the progression of AS and developing related drugs.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of resveratrol(RSV)on hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R)-induced apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes and the un-derlying mechanisms.Methods A model of H/R was established in H9c2 cardiomyocytes.Cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry.The expressions of Bax,Bcl-2,cleaved caspase-3 and JAK2/STAT3 signa-ling pathway proteins were detected by Western blot.The inhibitor of JAK2,AG490,was used to assess the effect of RSV on H/R-induced apoptosis in H9c2 car-diomyocytes after inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.Results RSV could effectively inhibit H/R-provoked cell apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes and increase the expression of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3.After AG490 intervention,the anti-apoptotic effect of RSV on H9c2 cardiomyocytes caused by H/R was significantly counteracted.Conclusions RSV can inhibit H/R-in-duced apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes through the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the mechanism of honey-processed Hedysari Radix in the regulation of intestinal immunity in rats with spleen qi deficiency,which was based on G protein-coupled receptor 41(GPR41)/GPR43-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling pathway.Methods The three-factor composite modeling method of eating disorder,diarrhea and fatigue was used to establish a model of spleen qi deficiency,and the rats were randomly divided into model,honey-processed Hedysari Radix,probiotics and blank groups with 15 rats per group.The honey-processed Hedysari Radix group was given by gavage 12.6 g·kg-1 aqueous extract of honey-processed Hedysari Radix.The probiotics group was given 0.625 g·kg-1 bifidobacterium triple viable solution by gavage.The blank and model groups were given the same dose of distilled water by gavage.Four groups were treated for 15 d with once a day.The expression levels of GPR41,GPR43,P38 MAPK,c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK)and extracellular regulatory protein kinase 1/2(ERK1/2)in colon tissues were detected by Western blotting.Results The relative expression levels of GPR41 in the blank,model,honey-processed Hedysari Radix and probiotics groups were 0.95±0.07,0.45±0.03,0.84±0.19 and 0.86±0.20;the relative expression levels of GPR43 were 1.17±0.11,0.41±0.06,0.66±0.03 and 0.57±0.01;the phosphorylated ERK1/2/ERK1/2 ratios were 0.16±0.01,0.43±0.01,0.39±0.01 and 0.36±0.02;the phosphorylated JNK/JNK ratios were 0.58±0.05,1.47±0.10,0.90±0.11 and 0.90±0.11;the phosphorylated P38 MAPK/P38 MAPK ratios were 1.77±0.33,3.19±0.03,2.01±0.17 and 2.23±0.59,respectively.Compared with the model group,the differences of above indexes were statistically significant in the honey-processed Hedysari Radix and probiotics groups(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion The mechanism of honey-processed Hedysari Radix regulating intestinal immunity in rats with spleen qi deficiency is related to the regulation of GPR41/GPR43 mediated MAPK signaling pathway.
