Objective:To investigate the correlation between peri-coronary fat attenuation index (FAI) and plaque formation in patients with myocardial bridge (MB) of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and to develop an optimal predictive model to explore the potential application of FAI in the primary prevention of MB related atherosclerosis.Methods:In this retrospective study, prediction models associated with perivascular fat inflammation were developed and validated using both logistic regression and machine learning (ML) algorithm. A training dataset was collected from 253 patients who underwent ≥2 coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with ≥3 months intervals from one tertiary hospital from January 2007 to April 2021 and had baseline CCTA showing no plaques in LAD MB. The median follow-up time was 3.2 years. According to the same criteria, a total of 75 LAD MB patients from four other hospitals were included to form an independent external validation dataset, with a median follow-up time of 1.8 years. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis with integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and category net reclassification index (NRI) were used to compare the performance of the predictive models.Results:62 patients (24.5%) in the training dataset had proximal plaque formation in LAD MB, while 22 patients (29.3%) in the external validation dataset had plaque formation during the follow-up period. Baseline FAI within the longitudinal distance equal to 30 mm proximal to the MB entrance was an independent predictor ( OR=1.068, P=0.046). According to the model results, ROC curves were plotted. The AUC of Model 1 was 0.822, and the AUCs of Model 2 and 1 were 0.821 and 0.591 in the training dataset. After the DeLong test, the AUC of Model 1 was superior to that of Model 2 ( Z=2.839, P=0.005) and Model 1 ( Z=6.124, P<0.001). These findings were further validated in the external validation dataset, where ML-model 3 yielded the best predictive performance, outperforming the logistic regression-based Model 2 (categorical NRI=0.359, P=0.048; IDI=0.108, P=0.046). Conclusion:FAI measured within the 30 mm proximal to the entrance of MBs due to its prone to plaque development is an independent predictor for atherosclerotic plaque formation. The ML-prediction model based on a decision tree algorithm combines FAI, MB anatomical features, and patient risk factors, which is beneficial for patients undergoing routine CCTA examination to identify inflamed coronary arteries in advance and guide the clinical adoption of more targeted preventive treatment, including anti-inflammatory treatment.

Objective:To investigate the follow-up colonoscopy of patients after colorectal adenoma (CRA) resection, so as to improve colonoscopy quality and reduce missed CRA diagnosis.Methods:A total of 189 patients after CRA resection who underwent follow-up colonoscopy from October 2020 to October 2021 were consecutively recruited. The effect of bowel preparation was evaluated by the Boston bowel preparation scale (BBPS). The location, the number, and gross morphology of adenomas during CRA resection and two colonoscopies during 1 year follow-up after the resection were recorded, and their correlation with major clinicopathologic features were analyzed, and the missed CRA in follow-up colonoscopy were also analyzed.Results:The BBPS scores of the right colon, transverse colon, left colon and total colon in 189 patients who underwent CRA resection were 1.93±0.42, 2.53±0.52, 2.77±0.45, and 7.22±1.03 points at the 1-year follow-up colonoscopy and 2.08±0.35, 2.70±0.46, 2.81±0.40, and 7.57±0.84 points at the time of CRA resection. Except for the left colon segment ( χ 2=0.98, P>0.05), the differences in other colon segments were significantly different ( P<0.05). At the time of CRA resection, 62, 66, 210 and 338 CRAs were detected in the right colon, transverse colon, left colon and total colon segments, respectively. At the 1-year follow-up colonoscopy, 21, 38, 49 and 108 CRAs were missed in the corresponding colon segments and total colon, respectively. CRA missed diagnosis was related to patient age (≥60 years accounting for 54.2%), gender (males accounting for 81.9%), adenoma location (predominantly in the left colon comprising 36.2%) and gross morphology (flat types representing 72.3%) ( P<0.05), but not related to being vegetarian, history of cholecystectomy or appendectomy, smoking or alcohol consumption, number of adenomas or pathological type ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The missed diagnosis of CRA in patients after CRA resection primarily involves the flat type adenomas, which is associated with the age, gender, adenoma location within the colon and the gross morphology.

Aim To investigate the effects of Mdivi-1 on A1 astrocyte activation and its associated signaling molecules.Methods CTX-TNA2 astrocytes were di-vided into the control,ACM,and low-,medium-,and high-dose Mdivi-1 groups based on concentration screening via CCK-8 assay.ACM,a DMEM high-glu-cose medium containing preset concentrations of IL-1α,TNF-α,and C1q,was used to induce A1 activa-tion.The ACM group was stimulated with ACM for 24 hours.Mdivi-1 groups were pretreated with correspond-ing concentrations of Mdivi-1 for 2 hours,followed by ACM stimulation for 24 hours.Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot were employed to assess mRNA levels and protein expression of IL-1β,C3,and iNOS in all groups.Immunofluorescence and Western blot were used to detect the expression of signaling molecules NLRP3,caspase-1,and ASC.DHE labeling was used to assess and flow cytometry was used to examine reac-tive oxygen species(ROS)levels.Results The CCK-8 assay identified 5,10,and 25 μmol·L-1as ap-propriate concentrations for Mdivi-1 intervention in CTX-TNA2 cells.Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot results indicated that,compared to the control group,IL-1 β,C3,and iNOS mRNA levels and protein expression were significantly elevated in the ACM group(P<0.05).In contrast,these levels were significantly reduced in the 10 and 25 μmnol·L-1 Mdi-vi-1 groups compared to the ACM group(P<0.05).Immunofluorescence and Western blot results confirmed that ACM stimulation significantly activated the NLRP3 inflammasome in astrocytes,while Mdivi-1 intervention effectively reversed the ACM-induced upregulation of NLRP3,caspase-1,and ASC.DHE staining results demonstrated that 5,10,and 25 μmol·L-1Mdivi-1 in-terventions partially reversed the ACM-induced in-crease in ROS levels in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion Mdivi-1 effectively inhibits A1 astrocyte activation,potentially through modulation of ROS and the NLRP3 inflammasomes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxyldiphenylethylene-2-O-glucoside (THSG) mitigates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CI/R) injury by regulating mitochondrial calcium overload and promoting mitophagy. MethodsSixty male SD rats were randomized into sham, model, SAS (40 mg·kg-1), and low-, medium- and high-dose (10, 20, 40 mg·kg-1, respectively) THSG groups, with 10 rats in each group. The middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model was established by the modified Longa suture method. An oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model was constructed in PC12 cells. Neurological deficits were assessed via Zea Longa scoring, and cerebral infarct volume was measured by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Structural and functional changes of cortical neurons in MCAO/R rats were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin and Nissl staining. PC12 cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and mitochondrial calcium levels were quantified by Rhod-2 AM. Immunofluorescence was used to detect co-localization of PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) and leucine zipper/EF-hand-containing transmembrane protein 1 (LETM1) in neurons. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was employed to observe mitochondrial morphology in neurons. Western blot was employed to analyze the expression of translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 (TOMM20), autophagy-associated protein p62, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3), cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-9 (Caspase-9), B-cell lymphoma 2-associated protein X (Bax), and cytochrome C (Cyt C). ResultsCompared with the sham group, the model group exhibited increased infarct volume (P<0.01) and neurological deficit scores (P<0.01), neuronal structure was disrupted with reduced Nissl bodies. (P<0.01), mitochondrial swelling/fragmentation, decreased PINK1/LETM1 co-localization (P<0.01), upregulated protein levels of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ, TOMM20, Caspase-9, Bax, and Cyt C (P<0.01), downregulated protein level of p62 (P<0.05), weakened PC12 viability (P<0.01), and elevated mitochondrial calcium level (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, THSG and SAS groups showed reduced infarct volumes (P<0.05,P<0.01) and neurological deficit scores (P<0.05,P<0.01), mitigated mitochondrial damage, and increased PINK1/LETM1 co-localization (P<0.01). Medium/high-dose THSG and SAS alleviated the neurological damage, increased Nissl bodies (P<0.05,P<0.01), downregulated the protein levels of p62, TOMM20, Caspase-9, Bax, and Cyt C (P<0.05,P<0.01), and elevated the LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ level (P<0.05,P<0.01). High-dose THSG enhanced PC12 cell viability (P<0.01), increased PINK1/LETM1 co-localization (P<0.01), and reduced mitochondrial calcium (P<0.01). ConclusionTHSG may exert the neuroprotective effect on CI/R injury by activating the PINK1-LETM1 signaling pathway, reducing the mitochondrial calcium overload, and promoting mitophagy.

ObjectiveTo explore the protective effect and underlying mechanism of Gegen Qinliantang on cognitive function in db/db mice with diabetic cognitive impairment (DCI). MethodsThirty-two 8-week-old male db/db mice were randomly assigned to the model group, dapagliflozin group (1.0 mg·kg-1·d-1), low-dose Gegen Qinliantang group (6.24 g·kg-1·d-1), and high-dose Gegen Qinliantang group (24.96 g·kg-1·d-1). Eight db/m mice served as the normal group. All mice were administered the corresponding treatment once daily by gavage for 10 consecutive weeks. Body weight and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were dynamically monitored. The Morris water maze test was used to evaluate cognitive function. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Nissl staining were used to observe pathological changes in the hippocampus. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in hippocampal tissue. Immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the co-expression of M1 microglial marker CD16/32 and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (IBA1) in the hippocampus. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the protein expression of postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95), synapsin (SYN), nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65), and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65) in the hippocampus. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group showed significantly increased body weight and FBG levels (P<0.01), significantly prolonged escape latency and reduced platform crossings in the Morris water maze test (P<0.01), disordered arrangement of hippocampal neurons, nuclear pyknosis, increased neuronal necrosis, reduced Nissl bodies, decreased expression of synaptic proteins PSD-95 and SYN (P<0.01), increased CD16/32+ /IBA1+ positive rate, elevated levels of TNF-α and IL-1β, and an increased p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 ratio (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the dapagliflozin group exhibited significantly reduced FBG levels at weeks 5 and 10 (P<0.05, P<0.01) and increased body weight. The high-dose Gegen Qinliantang group showed significantly reduced FBG at week 10 (P<0.05). Escape latency was significantly reduced on days 3 and 5 of the water maze test in the dapagliflozin group and on day 5 in the high-dose Gegen Qinliantang group (P<0.05). Platform crossings were significantly increased in both the dapagliflozin group and the high-dose Gegen Qinliantang group (P<0.05). Hippocampal pathological damage was alleviated to varying degrees in the dapagliflozin group and the low- and high-dose Gegen Qinliantang groups, with significantly increased expression of PSD-95 and SYN (P<0.01). Further studies revealed that both low- and high-dose Gegen Qinliantang reduced hippocampal IL-1β levels and the CD16/32+/IBA1+ positive rate of microglia, while the high-dose group also significantly reduced hippocampal TNF-α levels and the p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionGegen Qinliantang can improve hyperglycemia, cognitive dysfunction, and synaptic damage in DCI, inhibit M1 polarization of microglia and neuroinflammation, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB activation.
