Microglial functions are linked to Ca²⁺ signaling, with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium stores playing a crucial role. Microglial abnormality is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but how ER Ca²⁺ receptors regulate microglial functions under physiological and AD conditions remains unclear. We found reduced ryanodine receptor 2 (Ryr2) expression in microglia from an AD mouse model. Modulation of RyR2 using S107, a RyR-Calstabin stabilizer, blunted spontaneous Ca²⁺ transients in controls and normalized Ca²⁺ transients in AD mice. S107 enhanced ATP-induced migration and phagocytosis while reducing ramification in control microglia; however, these effects were absent in AD microglia. Our findings indicate that RyR2 stabilization promotes an activation state shift in control microglia, a mechanism impaired in AD. These results highlight the role of ER Ca²⁺ receptors in both homeostatic and AD microglia, providing insights into microglial Ca²⁺ malfunctions in AD.

Childhood primary renal tubular diseases are chronic kidney diseases characterized by impaired renal tubular reabsorption. Primary renal tubular disease has diverse clinical manifestations and lacks of specificity. Laboratory tests are limited，making it prone to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Based on the current knowledge of renal tubular diseases，authors propose early warning signals of renal tubular diseases such as family history of primary tubular diseases，unexplained polyhydramnios during pregnancy，polydipsia，polyuria，delayed growth and development or rickets，decreased muscle strength and tone，unexplained electrolyte disturbance，hyperuricemia，acid-base disturbance，positive urine sugar test，renal tubular proteinuria，urinary imaging examination suggesting kidney stones，calcium deposition，renal cysts and early onset of eye，ear，joint and neuron injury.Meanwhile，some universal management strategies for primary renal tubular disease are proposed，emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration，genetic testing and individualized intervention to improve the long-term prognosis of childhood primary renal tubular diseases.

Objective: To investigate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) -autophagy pathway in rifampicininduced liver injury and its possible mechanism. Methods: Forty 6-8-week-old C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into five groups : control group , model group , TFEB low-dose agonist group , TFEB high-dose agonist group , and autophagy agonist group , with 8 mice in each group. Except for the control group , the other four groups were given rifampicin 200 mg/(kg ·d) by gavage daily. TFEB agonist was administered intraperitoneally at a low dose of 20 mg/kg and a high dose of 50 mg/kg for 7 days at 1 h after rifampicin administration. Autophagy agonist was administered by gavage at a dose of 10 mg/kg 6 h before rifampicin administration on day 1 . The experiment was completed 7 days after modeling. The degree of liver injury was evaluated by detecting liver function indexes and liver pathological changes. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression total TFEB , chelator 1( p62) , microtubule-associated protein light chain 3(LC3) , benzyl chloride 1(Beclin-1) , sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide(NTCP) and bile salt export pump(BSEP) levels in liver nucleus/liver tissue were quantified. Results: Compared with the control group , the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase ( ALT) , aspartate aminotransferase (AST) , total bilirubin ( TBIL) , direct bilirubin ( DBIL) , and total bile acid ( TBA) in the model group increased (P < 0. 05) , and obvious pathological changes were observed in the liver. Compared with the model group , the high dose and low dose of TFEB agonist and autophagy agonist groups had reductions in the above indicators (P < 0. 05) . Compared with the low-dose TFEB agonist group , the high-dose TFEB agonist group had reductions in the above indicators (P < 0. 05) . The proportion of TFEB in the nucleus was ( 1. 0 ± 0. 10) in the control group , (0. 6 ± 0. 05) in the model group , (0. 8 ± 0. 08) in the low-dose agonist group , and (0. 9 ± 0. 07) in the high-dose agonist group (P < 0. 05) . Autophagy agonist group (0. 7 ± 0. 06) (P < 0. 05) . Compared with the control group , the levels of NTCP and BSEP in the liver of the model group decreased (P < 0. 05) , and the expression of NTCP and BSEP in the TFEB low-dose and high-dose agonist groups were restored , and the expression of NTCP and BSEP in the autophagy agonist group also increased (P < 0. 05) . Compared with the control group , the protein expression levels of TFEB , LC3- Ⅱ/LC3- Ⅰand Beclin-1 in the liver tissue of the model group significantly decreased (P < 0. 05) , while the protein expression level of p62 significantly increased ( P < 0. 05) . Compared with the model group , the protein expression levels of TFEB , LC3- Ⅱ/LC3- Ⅰand Beclin-1 in the liver tissue of the TFEB agonist high-dose group , low-dose group and autophagy agonist group increased (P < 0. 05) , while the protein expression level of p62 decreased (P < 0. 05) . Conclusion TFEB can improve rifampicin-induced liver injury by activating autophagy pathway , and the main mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of NTCP and BSEP expression.

Objective To investigate the expression of serum vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1(VEGFR-1)and macrophage inflammatory protein-3α(MIP-3α)in patients with endometriosis(EMs)patients and the predictive value of their combined detection for postoperative recurrence in EMs patients.Methods A total of 114 patients with EMs who underwent laparoscopic surgery in Maternal and Child Care Hospital of Qinhuangdao from April 2019 to June 2021 were selected as the observation group,while 114 healthy medical checkups of women of gestational age who had their medical checkups in the hospital were selected as the control group during the same period.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to determine the serum levels of VEGFR-1 and MIP-3α in the patients.According to the postoperative period of 2 years,they were divided into the recurrence group(n=78)and the non-recurrence group(n=36).Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze influencing factors of postoperative recurrence in patients with EMs.The predictive value of the combined serum VEGFR-1 and MIP-3α test for postoperative recurrence in patients with EMs was analyzed by using the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)curve.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of VEGFR-1 in the observation group(116.25±48.57 pg/ml vs 92.43±25.37 pg/ml)and MIP-3α(19.25±5.24 pg/ml vs 13.67±4.28 pg/ml)were elevated,and the differences were significant(t=4.641,8.806,all P＜0.05).The level of VEGFR-1(104.22±5.78 pg/ml,118.60±6.56 pg/ml,138.55±7.85 pg/ml)and the level of MIP-3α(15.37±1.15 pg/ml,19.28±2.12 pg/ml,25.42±2.56 pg/ml)in mild,moderate and severe EMs patients were increased successively,and the differences were significant(F=147.757,133.654,all P＜0.001).The percentage of the presence of palpable nodules in the posterior fornix,r-AFS staging(stage Ⅲ～Ⅳ)in the recurrence group was greater than those in the non-recurrence group(x2=15.139,10.310,all P＜0.05),and the percentage of the recurrence group with postoperative medication for 6 months or more was lower than that of the non-recurrence group(x2=15.016,P＜0.001),and the differences were statistically significant,respectively.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum VEGFR-1,MIP-3α,the presence of palpable nodules in the posterior fornix and r-AFS staging were risk factors for postoperative recurrence of EMs(all P＜0.05),while postoperative medication for 6 months or more was a protective factor(P＜0.05).The ROC curves showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the combination of serum VEGFR-1 and MIP-3αpredicted postoperative EMs for postoperative recurrence was the largest(0.929),and its sensitivity and specificity were 85.90％and 86.11％,respectively.Conclusion VEGFR-1 and MIP-3α expression was elevated in the serum of patients with EMs.The efficacy of their combined detection in predicting recurrence after EMs could be better.

Objective To investigate the impact of esketamine hydrochloride in combination with ultrasound-guided transverse thoracic muscle plane block on stress response and inflammatory levels in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement under general anesthesia.Methods A total of 120 patients who underwent elective extra-corporeal circulation-supported median open heart valve replacement were selected and randomly assigned into four groups using the random number table method:general anesthesia alone(Group G),general anesthesia with intrave-nous administration of esketamine(Group E),general anesthesia with transverse thoracic plane block(Group T),and esketamine combined with transverse thoracic muscle plane block(Group ET);each group consisted of 30 cases.Patients in group E and group ET received a continuous infusion of esketamine hydrochloride injection at a rate of 0.2 mg/kg-1?h-1 until the completion of the surgical procedure,while patients in group G and group T received an equivalent volume of saline solution until the completion of the surgical procedure.After the induction of general anesthesia,patients in group T and group ET underwent ultrasound-guided bilateral transverse thoracic muscle plane block,while patients in group G and group E did not receive any specific intervention.All four groups received identical protocols for anesthesia induction and maintenance,with self-controlled intravenous analgesic pumps administered to all patients postoperatively.The following time points were recorded:1 day prior to surgery(T0),pre-induction of anesthesia(T1),1 minute post-tracheal intubation(T2),1 minute post-median sternotomy(T3),1 minute prior to initiation of cardiopulmonary circulation(T4),1 minute after cessation of cardiopulmonary circula-tion(T5),1 minute after completion of surgery(T6),1 day post-surgery(T7),2 days post-surgery(T8),and 3 days post-surgery(T9).Mean Arterial Pressure(MAP)and Heart Rate(HR)were continuously monitored from T1 to T6.The levels of blood glucose and lactate were measured and recorded at T1,T4 to T6.The levels of White Blood Cells(WBC)and C-Reactive Protein(CRP)were assessed at T0,as well as at T7 to T9.The occurrence of postoperative adverse reactions was documented in all four groups.Results(1)Comparison of hemodynamics among the four groups:Compared with group G,there was a significant decrease in MAP and HR at T3 in group T(P<0.05).At the T5 time point,MAP was lower in group ET compared to group E,while HR was higher in group ET compared to group T(P<0.05).(2)The lactate and blood glucose levels of the four patient groups after extracorporeal circulation transfer were higher than those at the T1 time point(P<0.05).Patients in group E had lower lactate values at the T5 time point and lower blood glucose values at the T6 time point compared to group G(P<0.05).Additionally,patients in group E exhibited lower lactate and blood glucose values at both the T5 and T6 time points compared to those in group T(P<0.05).(3)Compared to T0,the levels of white blood cells(WBC)and C-reactive protein(CRP)were increased in all four groups after surgery(P<0.05).At the T7 time point,the WBC levels in group E and group T were significantly lower than those in group G(P<0.05).Furthermore,compared to group E and group T,the level of WBC in group ET was significantly lower at T7,while the level of CRP was significantly lower at T8(P<0.05).(4)There were no significant differences observed in postoperative adverse reactions among the four groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Combining low-dose esketamine hydrochloride with transverse thoracic muscle plane block under general anesthesia during open heart valve replacement surgery can effectively stabilize the patient's hemodynamics,mitigate perioperative stress response and postoperative inflammation levels,thereby demonstrating significant clini-cal utility.

In the past few decades, the global obesity population has been increasing, and still has an upward trend. With obesity, the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases has increased. It’s found that an increase in body mass index is associated with the occurrence of some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases Hypertension and hyperlipidemia, as common chronic cardiovascular diseases, are particularly affected by obesity, which has attracted extensive attention in recent years. Moreover, the occurrence of hypertension and hyperlipidemia under the influence of obesity is significantly related, and their synergy can also cause a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, there is still less work to study these three factors at the same time. Therefore, on the basis of summarizing the molecular mechanisms of obesity affecting hypertension and hyperlipidemia, this paper summarizes the relevant molecular mechanisms of hypertension and hyperlipidemia under the influence of obesity, and points out the co-acting molecules, providing a reference for future research on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Objective To explore the blood group changes of two acute myeloid leukemia patients with suspected O type,and their relationship with the therapeutic effect.Methods Serological analysis of ABO blood group of patients was carried out by microcolumn gel method,tube method and absorption-elution test,ABO blood group genotyping was per-formed by microfluidic chip method.Exons E2 to E7 of ABO gene were amplified by PCR and sequenced by Sanger method.Results The forward typing of two cases were both O type,but the reverse typing were both A type.The absorption-elution test results all showed detection of antigen A.ABO gene phenotype of the two cases were both A,with genotyping results as A102/A102 and A102/O01,respectively.Sequencing results showed that SNP sites of ABO blood group were 467T/T,261G/delG and 467C/T,respectively.In one case,the intensity of anti-A agglutination reaction changed significantly from weak to strong with the progress of treatment.Conclusion For clinical samples of acute myeloid leukemia patients with ABO for-ward and reverse typing discrepancy and suspected O type,the result of reverse typing should be valued,and absorption-e-lution test should be performed to further confirm the ABO blood type combining the genetic test results,so as to develop ap-propriate blood transfusion strategies for patients.

Objective To explore the expression, correlation with clinicopathologic parameters, and clinical significance of MIS18 binding protein 1 (MIS18BP1) in bladder cancer. Methods TCGA and GEO databases were used to analyze the mRNA expression of MIS18BP1 in tumors and controls, and the results were verified via qRT-PCR. UALCAN online database was utilized in the analysis of the expression of MIS18BP1 and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters and the degree of immune cell infiltration. Immunohistochemistry was employed to analyze the expression of MIS18BP1 in bladder cancer and its relationship with clinicopathological features. The ROC curve was applied to evaluate the diagnostic value of MIS18BP1 mRNA in bladder cancer. Results Bioinformatics analysis and qRT-PCR results revealed the increased expression of MIS18BP1 mRNA in bladder cancer compared with that in the control group (P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry unveiled the significantly high positive rate of MIS18BP1 protein in bladder cancer (P<0.05) and its correlation with the clinical stage of tumors, depth of invasion, and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The immune infiltration analysis showed the association of MIS18BP1 with immune cell infiltration in bladder cancer. Conclusion The increased expression level of MIS18BP1 gene and protein in bladder cancer may regulate the development of bladder cancer by influencing immune cell infiltration.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between hippocampal receptor-interacting protein kinase-1 (RIPK1) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor containing pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes in postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction of aged rats with chronic knee arthritis pain.Methods:Sixty-four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 18 months, weighing 500-550 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=16 each) using a random number table method: chronic knee arthritis pain group (group P), chronic knee arthritis pain+ operation group (group PS), RIPK1 inhibitor necrostatin-1+ chronic knee arthritis pain+ operation group (group NPS), and DMSO+ chronic knee arthritis pain+ operation group (group DPS). The knee arthritis model was prepared by intra-articular injection of monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) 1 mg into the left knee joint, and 12 weeks later exploratory laparotomy was performed under sevoflurane anesthesia. Necrostatin-1 6.25 mg/kg and the equal volume of DMSO were intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before operation in NPS group and DPS group, respectively. Thermal pain threshold was measured at 1 week before MIA injection and 6 and 12 weeks after MIA injection. Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the cognitive function at 7 days after surgery. Hippocampal tissues were obtained for microscopic examination of the pathological changes (after HE staining) and for determination of the expression of RIPK1, phosphorylated RIPK1 (p-RIPK1), NLRP3, activated cysteine-aspartic protease caspase-1 (cl-caspase-1), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) (by Western blot) and contents of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and IL-18 (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Results:Thermal pain threshold was significantly decreased at 6 and 12 weeks after MIA injection as compared with that before injection ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in thermal pain threshold among the four groups ( P>0.05). Compared with P group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, the expression of RIPK1, p-RIPK1, NLRP3, cl-caspase-1 and ASC was up-regulated, and the contents of IL-1β and IL-18 were increased ( P<0.05), and pathological changes of hippocampal neurons were marked in PS group, DPS group and NPS group. Compared with PS group and DPS group, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was prolonged, the number of crossing the original platform was increased, the expression of RIPK1, p-RIPK1, NLRP3, cl-caspase-1 and ASC was down-regulated, the contents of IL-1β and IL-18 were decreased ( P<0.05), and pathological changes of hippocampal neurons were significantly attenuated in NPS group. Conclusions:Postoperative hippocampal RIPK1 function is enhanced in aged rats with chronic knee arthritis pain, which then activates NLRP3 inflammasomes, triggering neuroinflammation, and this process may be involved in the mechanism of postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction.
