Parkinson's disease （PD） is a complex neurodegenerative disease involving multiple systems and neurotransmitters. Due to the high clinical heterogeneity of PD，it is urgent to establish a comprehensive and long-term traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） management model. In this paper，the conceptual framework of full-cycle management of PD is preliminarily constructed：based on the evolution of the pathophysiological mechanisms of protein deposition and neurotransmitter disorder in PD，the three-stage syndrome characteristics of the prodromal stage （predominant healthy Qi with subtle pathogenic factors），the early clinical stage （declining healthy Qi with growing pathogenic factors） and the middle and late stages （overwhelming pathogenic factors with deficient healthy Qi） are longitudinally described. Through the syndrome differentiation of visceral manifestations，the etiology and pathogenesis of PD motor and non-motor symptoms were comprehensively analyzed，while the matching treatment methods and prescriptions were inferred，and the modular scheme of the combining main symptoms，accompanying symptoms and secondary symptoms was proposed. The conceptual gap of TCM regarding motor complications （'variable syndrome'） and PD-related hyperpyrexia syndrome （'critical syndrome'） was explained. This framework reflects the characteristics of combination of disease and syndrome and overall constant motion，and provides new theories and research ideas for individualized and whole-process management of PD in TCM.

Background At present, high level of depression is a serious problem in medical staff and may affect their immune function. The role of psychological resilience between depression and immunity cannot be ignored. However, it is still lack of research report in this area. Objective To explore the mediating effect of psychological resilience on the association between depression and humoral immunological biomarkers in medical staff. Methods A total of 108 medical staff from a tertiary hospital in Henan Province were selected using stratified cluster sampling from September 2022 to December 2022. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 were used to evaluate their psychological resilience and depression. Serum immunoglobulin (Ig) M (IgM), IgG, IgA, complement 3 (C3), and complement 4 (C4) were detected in fasting venous blood samples. Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, independent-samples t-test, and One-way ANOVA were used for comparisons among different demographic groups. Spearman correlation was used to evaluate correlations among measured variables. PROCESS plug-in was used to verify potential mediating effect of psychological resilience on the relationship between depression and humoral immunological biomarkers. Results The M (P₂₅, P₇₅) score of psychological resilience was 65.50 (53.25, 75.00) in the participating medical staff. The ratios of low, medium, and high levels of psychological resilience were 2.78% (3/108), 51.85% (56/108), and 45.37% (49/108), respectively. The M (P₂₅, P₇₅) score of depression was 6.00 (2.00, 8.00). The positive rate of depression was 61.11% (66/108). The correlation analysis results showed that psychological resilience was negatively correlated with depression and serum complement C3 (r=−0.416 and −0.309, P＜0.01), positively correlated with serum IgG and serum IgA (r=0.302 and 0.517, P＜0.01); optimism, self-improvement, and resilience were negatively correlated with depression (r=−0.387, −0.446, and −0.312, P<0.01), positively correlated with IgG (r=0.194, 0.284, and 0.239, P<0.05), and positively correlated with IgA (r=0.377, 0.378, and 0.444, P<0.01), respectively; resilience was negatively correlated with C3 (r=−0.304, P<0.01), and depression was negatively correlated with serum IgG and serum IgA (r=−0.516 and −0.522, P＜0.01), positively correlated with serum complement C3 (r=0.195, P＜0.05). The mediating effect test showed that psychological resilience showed mediating effects on the relationship between depression and serum IgA and serum complement C3, with mediating effect values of −0.148 (95%CI: −0.051, −0.012) and 0.111 (95%CI: 0.001, 0.010), and their mediating effect ratios were 28.30% and 56.92%. Conclusion The mental health status of the target medical staff is not optimistic. Depression is associated with changes in some humoral immunological biomarkers. Psychological resilience can mediate the correlations between depression and humoral immunological biomarkers. The managers should take measures to improve the levels of psychological resilience and promote the physical and mental health of medical staff.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the leading cause of respiratory failure with high morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary surfactant (PS)-based complementary therapies have exhibited potential for ARDS healing and applied as an adjunctive therapy strategy. Coacervate (Coac) has the characteristics of softness, deformability and excellent molecular enrichment properties, and has attracted extensive attention in the biomedical field. Here PS and coacervate were combined for the potential ARDS treatment. The Coac, fabricated from polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by simple mixing, exhibited soft droplet property and high enrichment for dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP). To avoid the fusion effect of membraneless coacervate and endow it with biological functions of PS, liposomes with PS-biomimetic lipid components (PS-lipo) were further introduced to construct PS-biomimetic membranized coacervate (DSP@PS-Coac). The DSP@PS-Coac demonstrated high lung targeting effect and significant penetration efficiency after intravenous injection. Furthermore, PS-lipo replenished the endogenous PS pool and facilitated the distribution of DSP in inflammatory cells in the lung. In the ARDS mouse model, PS-Coac and DSP exerted synergetic anti-inflammatory functions, via reducing the recruitment of inflammatory neutrophils and modulating macrophages into anti-inflammatory phenotype. The overall results confirmed that DSP@PS-Coac may provide a promising delivery option for the treatment of ARDS.

Objective To investigate the role of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway mediated Treg/Th17 imbalance in children with cow's milk protein allergy and the effect of dietary avoidance on the imbalance.Methods A total of 103 children with cow's milk protein allergy in the hospital were enrolled and divided in-to the IgE-mediated group(n=38)and the non-IgE-mediated group(n=65).All patients underwent a 3-month strict dietary avoidance intervention.A total of 100 healthy children who underwent health checkups at the hospital's physical examination center during the same period,with no history of food allergy or other im-mune-related diseases,were selected as the healthy control group.The percentages of Treg and Th17 cells were measured by flow cytometry.The mRNA expression levels of JAK2,STAT3,SOCS1,and SOCS3 were determined by qPCR.Differences between groups,changes before and after dietary avoidance,and correlations between these indicators and clinical symptoms were analyzed using Pearson's test.Results At baseline,both the IgE-mediated group and the non-IgE-mediated group had significantly lower Treg percentages and SOCS1/SOCS3 mRNA levels,and higher Th17 percentages and JAK2/STAT3 mRNA levels compared to the healthy control group(P＜0.05).After dietary avoidance,Treg percentages and SOCS1/SOCS3 mRNA levels in-creased,while Th17 percentages and JAK2/STAT3 mRNA levels decreased in the IgE-mediated group and the non-IgE-mediated group(P＜0.05).The increase of Treg percentage and the decrease of Th17 percentage in the non-IgE-mediated group were greater than in the IgE-mediated group,whereas the increases of SOCS1 and SOCS3 mRNA levels were smaller in the non-IgE-mediated group(P＜0.05).Logistic regression identified JAK2,STAT3,SOCS1,and SOCS3 mRNA levels as factors influencing Treg and Th17 percentages(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis revealed that allergic symptom scores and serum milk-specific IgE levels were positively correlated with JAK2/STAT3 mRNA levels and Th17 percentage,and negatively correlated with SOCS1/SOCS3 mRNA levels,Treg percentage,and the Treg/Th17 ratio(P＜0.05).Conclusion Dieta-ry avoidance can modulate the activity of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway,with a more pronounced improve-ment in non-IgE-mediated cow's milk protein allergy.

African swine fever(ASF)caused by African swine fever virus(ASFV)is a febrile,hem-orrhage and highly fatal infectious disease in pigs,which poses a serious threat to the global pig in-dustry.Currently,no vaccine is available for the prevention and control of ASF,and several ASF vaccines,including gene deletion attenuated live vaccines,live vector vaccines,and subunit vaccines are under the development stage in the laboratory research.As one of the most promising vaccines,live vector vaccine has the characteristic of safety and simulation of the pathogen natural infection to effectively stimulate the innate and adaptive immune responses,which becomes one of the hotspots in the research and development of novel ASF vaccines.This review focuses on the pro-gress in using modified viruses as vectors for ASF live vector vaccines,and aims to provide valua-ble information for future development of safe and effective ASF vector vaccines.

Objective:To separate and purify the polysaccharides from Polygonatum filipes,characterize their primary structure and investigate the immunomodulatory effects on RAW264.7 macrophages.Methods:Crude polysaccharides from Polygonatum filipes were extracted by ultrasound assisted method,then Polygonatum filipes polysaccharides(CSPFPs)were obtained after elimination of the proteins with combined papain-Sevag method.The total sugar content was determined by phenol-sulfuric acid method.Structures of CSPFPs were analyzed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),high performance gel permeation chromatography(HPGPC)and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).Effects of CSPFPs on cell viability,pinocytic activity,TNF-α secretion,MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways of RAW264.7 cells were explored by MTT,Neutral red,ELISA and Western blot,respectively.Results:Extraction rate of CSPFPs by ultrasound-assisted method was 41.61%,which contained total sugar content of 94.00%.CSPFPs with Mw of 3 125 Da was composed of arabinose(1.85%),galactose(6.14%),glucose(56.41%)and mannose(35.60%).The in vitro experiments showed that CSPFPs were non-cytotoxic and enhanced the pinocytic activity,TNF-α secretion and phosphorylation levels of p38,ERK,JNK,p65,IκB and IKK,indicating the activation of MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways under the concentra-tion of 2.5～200 μg/ml.Conclusion:The ultrasound-assisted method can efficiently isolate CSPFPs with immunomodulatory activity,which provides basic data for the development and application of CSPFPs as an immunostimulant.

Objective·To investigate the effects of liraglutide on liver fibrosis in mice with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and the underlying mechanisms.Methods·Twenty 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a normal chow diet group(Chow group)and a methionine-choline-deficient(MCD)diet group(MCD group),with 10 mice per group.The MCD diet was used to induce NAFLD.Each group was further divided into two subgroups,resulting in four subgroups:Chow+saline,Chow+liraglutide,MCD+saline,and MCD+liraglutide group.After daily intraperitoneal injection of liraglutide(400 μg/kg)or an equivalent volume of saline for 4 weeks,an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test(IPGTT)was performed.Serum levels of aspartate transaminase(AST),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TAG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)were measured.Liver tissues were collected post-euthanasia to assess TAG content.Histopathological changes,lipid deposition,and fibrosis were evaluated via hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,Oil Red O staining,and Masson staining.Real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR)and Western blotting were used to analyze the expression of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),fibronectin(FN),collagen type Ⅰ α(COL1A),matrix metalloproteinase 9(MMP9),tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1(TIMP1),transforming growth factor β(TGF-β),SMAD3,and phosphorylated SMAD3(pSMAD3).Results·The IPGTT revealed that liraglutide intervention reduced blood glucose levels at 15,30,and 60 min,with a decreased area under the curve(AUC)(both P<0.05).Biochemical analysis showed that liraglutide lowered AST and ALT levels(both P<0.001),increased TC and HDL-C levels(both P<0.05),but had no significant effect on TAG or LDL-C in MCD mice.HE staining and Oil Red O staining revealed reduced lipid droplets,ballooning degeneration,and inflammatory infiltration in hepatocytes after liraglutide treatment.Masson staining indicated decreased collagen fiber deposition in the liver.qPCR and Western blotting analysis demonstrated upregulated expression of α-SMA,FN,COL1A,TIMP1,TGF-β,and pSMAD3/SMAD3,alongside downregulated MMP9 in MCD mice.Liraglutide reversed these changes,lowering α-SMA,FN,COL1A,TIMP1,TGF-β,and pSMAD3/SMAD3 expression while increasing MMP9 expression.Conclusion·Liraglutide ameliorates liver injury,lipid deposition,and fibrosis in NAFLD mice,through modulation of the TGF-β/SMAD3 pathway and regulating fibrosis-associated protein expression.

Central venous access device-related thrombosis (CRT) refers to the obstructive or non-obstructive clots formed around the central venous access device (CVAD).It may lead to risks such as loss of vascular access, pulmonary embolism, post-thrombotic syndrome.Due to the heterogeneity of underlying diseases and the specific characteristics of CVAD placement in children, there is insufficient evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of CRT in children.This article reviews the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of CRT in children to provide reference for clinical management.
