Soil cadmium (Cd) pollution is one of the major environmental problems globally. Ophiopogon japonicus, a multifunctional plant extensively used in traditional Chinese medicine, has demonstrated potential in environmental remediation. This study investigated the Cd accumulation pattern of O. japonicus under cadmium stress and identified the heavy metal ATPase (HMA) family members in this plant. Our results demonstrated that O. japonicus exhibited a Cd enrichment factor (EF) of 2.75, demonstrating strong potential for soil Cd pollution remediation. Nine heavy metal ATPase (HMA) members of P1B-ATPases were successfully identified from the transcriptome data of O. japonicus, with OjHMA1-OjHMA6 classified as the Zn/Co/Cd/Pb-ATPases and OjHMA7-OjHMA9 as the Cu/Ag-ATPases. The expression levels of OjHMA1, OjHMA2, OjHMA3, and OjHMA7 were significantly up-regulated under Cd stress, highlighting their crucial roles in cadmium ion absorption and transport. The topological analysis revealed that these proteins possessed characteristic transmembrane (TM) segments of the family, along with functional A, P, and N domains involved in regulating ion absorption and release. Metal ion-binding sites (M4, M5, and M6) existed on the TM segments. Based on the number of transmembrane domains and the residues at metal ion-binding sites, the plant HMA family members were categorized into three subgroups: P1B-1 ATPases, P1B-2 ATPases, and P1B-4 ATPases. Specifically, the P1B-1 ATPase subgroup included the motifs TM4(CPC), TM5(YN[X]₄P), and TM6(M[XX]SS); the P1B-2 ATPase subgroup featured the motifs TM4(CPC), TM5(K), and TM6(DKTGT); the P1B-4 ATPase subgroup contained the motifs TM4(SPC) and TM6(HE[X]GT), all of which were critical for protein functions. Molecular docking results revealed the importance of conserved sequences such as CPC/SPC, DKTGT, and HE[X]GT in metal ion coordination and stabilization. These findings provide potential molecular targets for enhancing Cd uptake and tolerance of O. japonicus by genetic engineering and lay a theoretical foundation for developing new cultivars with high Cd accumulation capacity.

Objective:To observe the effects of adipose-derived stem cells(ADSC)combined with acellular scaffold(AS)on the ultrastructure of dorsal root ganglion and the protein and mRNA expression levels of ciliary neurotrophic factor(CNTF),Janus kinase 2(JAK2),phosphorylated JAK2(p-JAK2),signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)and phosphorylated STAT3(p-STAT3)in the rats with sciatic nerve injury(SNI),and to clarify the protective effect of ADSC combined with AS on dorsal root ganglion in the SNI rats and its possible mechanism.Methods:The rat ADSCs were isolated and cultured and their multidirectional differentiation potential was detected.The AS of rats was prepared,and ADSCs were injected into the AS to construct tissue-engineered nerve.A total of 36 rats were randomly divided into control group,model group,AS group,and ADSC+AS group.The rats in control group were routinely fed,and the rats in other groups were used to establish the SNI models by resecting 10 mm of right sciatic nerve.The rats in model group received no further treatment,while the rats in AS group and ADSC+AS group were bridged with AS and the constructed tissue-engineered nerve at the two ends of the injured nerve,respectively.At 6 weeks after surgery,transmission electron microscope was used to observe the ultrastructure of dorsal root ganglion of the rats in various groups;immunofluorescence method was used to detect the protein expression levels of CNTF,p-JAK2,and p-STAT3 in dorsal root ganglion of the rats;real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of CNTF,JAK2,and STAT3 in dorsal root ganglion of the rats in various groups.Results:After 7 d of primary ADSC culture,a large number of large and long spindle-shaped cells were observed under the inverted microscope,arranged in clusters or whirlpools;red lipid droplets were observed with oil red O staining under microscope,and calcified nodules were observed with Alizarin red staining under microscope,indicating that the isolated and cultured cells had multidirectional differentiation ability.Compared with normal nerve tissue,the level of DNA in AS of rats was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with control group,the nuclear membrane of dorsal root ganglion cells in model group was uneven and serrated,the number of organelles in the cytoplasm was decreased,mitochondria were swollen with broken or missing cristae and unclear structure;the CNTF protein and mRNA expression levels were significantly decreased(P<0.01),the p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 protein expression levels were significantly increased(P<0.01),and the JAK2 and STAT3 mRNA expression levels were significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with model group,the serrated change of nuclear membrane of the dorsal root ganglion cells in AS group was significantly alleviated,the number of organelles in the cytoplasm was increased,and mitochondrial swelling was reduced;in ADSC+AS group,the nuclear membrane of dorsal root ganglion cells tended to be intact,the number of organelles was increased,and mitochondrial swelling and vacuolization were significantly reduced;the CNTF protein and mRNA expression levels in the dorsal root ganglion in AS group and ADSC+AS group were significantly increased(P<0.01),the p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 protein expression levels were significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the JAK2 and STAT3 mRNA expression levels were significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with AS group,the CNTF protein and mRNA expression levels in ADSC+AS group were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),the p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 protein expression levels were significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the JAK2 and STAT3 mRNA expression levels were significantly decreased(P<0.01).Conclusion:The application of ADSC combined with AS can improve the ultrastructure of dorsal root ganglion in the SNI rats,and the mechanism may be related to the increased CNTF expression and decreased activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in the dorsal root ganglion by ADSC combined with AS application.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether auraptene (AUR) exerts a protective effect on acute diquat (DQ)-induced liver injury in mice and explore its underlying mechanisms. METHODS: Forty SPF-grade healthy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control group (Control group), DQ poisoning model group (DQ group), AUR treatment group (DQ+AUR group), and AUR control group (AUR group), with 10 mice in each group. The DQ poisoning model was established via a single intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg/kg DQ aqueous solution (0.5 mL); Control group and AUR group received an equal volume of pure water intraperitoneally. Four hours post-modeling, DQ+AUR group and AUR group were administered 0.5 mg/kg AUR aqueous solution (0.2 mL) by gavage once daily for 7 consecutive days, while Control group and DQ group received pure water. Blood and liver tissues were collected after anesthesia on day 7. Liver ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hepatic glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were detected using WST-1, thiobarbituric acid (TBA), and enzymatic reaction methods, respectively. Protein expression of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), and activated caspase-9 in liver tissues was analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS: Transmission electron microscopy revealed that mitochondria in the Control group exhibited mild swelling, uneven distribution of matrix, and a small number of cristae fractures. In the AUR group, mitochondria showed mild swelling, with no obvious disruption of cristae structure. In the DQ group, mitochondria demonstrated marked swelling and increased volume, matrix dissolution, loss and fragmentation of cristae, and extensive vacuolization. In contrast, the DQ+AUR group showed significantly reduced mitochondrial swelling, volume increase, matrix dissolution, cristae loss and fragmentation, and vacuolization compared to the DQ group. Compared with the DQ group, the DQ+AUR group exhibited significantly lower serum AST levels (U/L: 173.45±23.60 vs. 255.33±41.51), ALT levels (U/L: 51.77±21.63 vs. 100.70±32.35), and hepatic MDA levels (μmol/g: 12.40±2.76 vs. 19.74±4.10), along with higher hepatic GSH levels (mmol/g: 37.65±14.95 vs. 20.58±8.52) and SOD levels (kU/g: 124.10±33.77 vs. 82.81±22.00), the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Western blotting showed upregulated Nrf2 expression (Nrf2/β-actin: 0.87±0.37 vs. 0.53±0.22) and HO-1 expression (HO-1/β-actin: 1.06±0.22 vs. 0.49±0.08), and downregulated Keap1 expression (Keap1/β-actin: 0.82±0.12 vs. 1.52±0.76) and activated caspase-9 expression (activated caspase-9/β-actin: 1.16±0.28 vs. 1.71±0.30) in the DQ+AUR group compared to the DQ group (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION AUR attenuates DQ-induced acute liver injury in mice by activating the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of anrikefon and tegileridine for analgesia in patients with moderate-to-severe pain after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia.Methods:In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled clinical trial, 101 patients with moderate to severe pain (numeric pain rating scale [NRS] score ≥4 within 4 h after operation) after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia between February 24 and April 1, 2025, aged 18-70 yr, with a body mass index of 18-40 kg/m 2, were assigned to anrikefon group ( n=50) and tegileridine group ( n=51) in a 1∶1 ratio using stratified blocked randomization. Double-dummy design was employed to maintain blinding. Each group received an initial intravenous injection of anrikefon 1 μg/kg or tegileridine 1 mg, followed by connection to a patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pump (the PCIA solution contained normal saline in anrikefon group; the PCIA solution contained tegileridine 5 mg in tegileridine pump) within 10 min. If the patient′s NRS score ≥4 at 8 and 16 h after the initial injection, anrikefon 1 μg/kg was intravenously injected in anrikefon group, and tegileridine group received the equal volume of normal saline. The primary efficacy endpoint was the sum of pain intensity difference (SPID) over the first 24 h after the initial dose (SPID 0-24h). The secondary efficacy endpoints included the incidence and severity of vomiting and nausea, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV), the proportion of patients who received antiemetic treatment, and total consumption of antiemetics within 0-24 h after the initial dose, NRS score at rest ≤ 1 at 24 h after the initial dose, and NRS score at rest ≤ 3 over the first 24 h after the initial dose. Safety indicators included adverse events, vital signs, physical examination findings, 12-lead ECG and laboratory test indicators, and adverse events of special interest. Results:Compared with tegileridine group, no significant change was found in the SPID 0-24h ( P>0.05), and the incidence of vomiting, PONV, proportion of patients requiring antiemetic medication, and total consumption of antiemetics were significantly decreased within the first 24 h after the initial dose in tegileridine group ( P<0.05). One treatment-emergent adverse event of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3 or higher occurred in tegileridine group, while no treatment-emergent adverse events of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3 or higher were found in anrikefon group. Among the adverse events of special interest, one case of respiratory depression and one case of cough occurred in tegileridine group, while one case of cough occurred in anrikefon group, with no respiratory depression. Conclusions:Anrikefon and tegileridine provide comparable analgesic efficacy for moderate-to-severe pain after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia. However, anrikefon exhibits an advantage in reducing the risk of PONV, with a superior safety profile.

Objective To investigate the impact of digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-guided neurointerventional thrombus removal combined with intravenous thrombolysis by tirofiban on the rate of recanalization of blood vessels, endothelial function, hemodynamics, and the degree of neurological deficit in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods Eighty patients with acute cerebral infarction were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into observation group and control group using the random number table method, with 40 patients in each group. The control group was treated with DSA-guided neurointerventional thrombus removal, and the observation group was treated with intravenous thrombolysis with tirofiban on the basis of the control group. The rates of recanalization of blood vessels, endothelial function index levels, hemodynamic index levels, and the degree of neurological deficit were compared between the two groups. Results The rates of recanalization of blood vessels in the observation group and control group were 90.00%(36/40) and 65.00%(26/40), respectively, with a significant difference (P < 0.05). After treatment, the serum endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in both groups were lower than those before treatment, and the nitric oxide (NO) levels were higher than those before treatment, and the ET-1 level in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the NO level was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the carotid extracranial resistance and characteristic impedance in both groups were lower than those before treatment, and the mean blood flow and mean blood flow velocity were higher than those before treatment, and the carotid extracranial resistance and characteristic impedance in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the mean blood flow and mean blood flow velocity were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment, and the NIHSS score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion DSA-guided neurointerventional thrombus removal combined with intravenous thrombolysis by tirofiban can effectively increase the rate of recanalization of blood vessels in patients with acute cerebral infarction, improve endothelial function, alleviate neurological deficit symptoms, increase blood flow velocity and blood flow at ischemic lesion sites, and reduce carotid extracranial resistance and characteristic impedance.
