OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential mechanism of berberine improving diabetes mellitus type 2 （T2DM） combined with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） by regulating ceramide. METHODS Thirty-two db/db mice with blood glucose levels＞11.1 mmol/L （T2DM model） were divided into four groups： model group， berberine low- and high-dose groups [100， 200 mg/（kg·d）] and metformin group [300 mg/（kg·d）]， with 8 mice in each group. Additionally， 8 wt/wt mice were selected as the normal control group. Mice in each group were administered the corresponding drug solution or water by gavage once daily for a continuous period of 6 weeks. During the experiment， the body weight of the mice was monitored， and the differences in final body weight were analyzed. After the last administration， the body shape of the mice in each group was observed， and their fasting blood glucose （FBG） and the lipid indicators [total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）] were measured. Fasting serum insulin （FINS） levels were also measured， and the insulin resistance index HOMA-IR） and insulin sensitivity index （ISI） were calculated. Liver weight， liver index and serum liver function indicators [alanine transaminase （ALT）， aspartate transaminase（AST）] were assessed， and hepatic histopathological changes were observed. Additionally， the expression of fatty acid synthesis-related proteins [sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 （SREBP1）， fatty acid synthase （FASN）， acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 （ACC1）] in liver tissue was examined. Serum samples from the normal control group， model group， and berberine high-dose group were collected for non-targeted lipidomics analysis and validation. RESULTS Compared with the model group， the pathological changes， including disordered liver tissue cell arrangement and lipid vacuoles， were significantly improved in the berberine low- and high-dose groups. The significant decreases or down-regulations were observed in body weight in the last week， as well as FBG， TC， TG， and LDL-C levels， HOMA-IR （except for the berberine low-dose group）， liver weight， liver index， AST and ALT levels， and protein expressions of SREBP1， FASN and ACC1. Additionally， HDL-C levels， FINS （except for the berberine high-dose group）， and ISI （except for the berberine low-dose group） were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. A total of 21 potential differential metabolites， including multiple types of ceramides， were identified； these metabolites were primarily enriched in sphingolipid metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism pathways. Verification experiments confirmed that high-dose berberine significantly reduced the serum content of ceramide in model mice （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Berberine reduces insulin resistance， improves liver damage and lipid accumulation in the T2DM combined with MAFLD mice， and these effects may be related to the reduction of ceramide content.

Osteoporosis(OP) is a senile bone disease characterized by an imbalance between bone remodeling and bone formation. Targeting pathogenesis of kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency, and blood stasis, Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction has a significant effect on the treatment of OP by tonifying kidney, invigorating spleen, and activating blood circulation. MicroRNA(miRNA) and the anti-apoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma-2-like protein 1(BCL2L1) are closely related to bone cell metabolism. Therefore, in this study, the binding of miR-140-5p to BCL2L1 was detected by dual luciferase assay and polymerase chain reaction(PCR). After silencing or overexpressing miR-140-5p, the apoptosis, autophagy, and osteogenic function of human fetal osteoblast cell line 1.19(HFOB1.19) were observed by flow cytometry and Western blot. Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction-containing serum was prepared by intragastric administration of Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction in rats. Different concentrations of Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction-containing serum were used to treat HFOB1.19 with or without miR-140-5p mimic. The expression of osteogenic proteins in each group was observed, and the role of miR-140-5p/BCL2L1 in apoptosis and autophagy of HFOB1.19 was studied, along with the effect of Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction on these processes. As indicated by the dual luciferase assay, miR-140-5p bound to BCL2L1. Flow cytometry and Western blot showed that miR-140-5p promoted apoptosis and inhibited autophagy in HFOB1.19. After intervention with high, medium, and low doses of Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction-medicated serum, compared with the miR-140-5p NC group, the expression of osteocalcin(OCN), osteopontin(OPN), Runt-related transcription factor 2(RUNX2), and transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF-β1) decreased in the miR-140-5p mimic group, while the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP2) showed no significant difference under high-dose intervention. Therefore, miR-140-5p/BCL2L1 can promote apoptosis and inhibit autophagy in HFOB1.19. Bushen Jianpi Huoxue Decoction can affect the osteogenic effect of miR-140-5p through BMP2.

Objective:To analyze the differences in emergency rescue service capacities between county-level hospitals in Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces, and propose targeted improvement suggestions.Methods:Cluster sampling was employed, with representative county-level hospitals recommended by provincial hospital alliances in Zhejiang and Jiangsu. Emergency departments voluntarily submitted data, resulting in 24 hospitals from Zhejiang and 34 from Jiangsu. Data were collected through the China County-Level Hospital Emergency Service Capability Evaluation System. Differences between provinces were analyzed. Spearman correlation analysis explored relationships between multidimensional indicators, and multivariate logistic regression identified factors influencing hospital grade B++ and above.Results:In terms of department scale, Jiangsu had a larger emergency department area (4 853 m 2vs. 1 927 m 2, P<0.001), more beds of comprehensive inpatient wards in the emergency department (25.5 beds vs. 5.5 beds, P=0.011), and higher scores for the ratio of emergency department area to beds (4.8 vs. 3.4, P=0.005) than Zhejiang. In terms of staffing, Jiangsu had a higher proportion of doctors with master's degrees or above (13.8% vs. 0.0%, P<0.001), a higher proportion of frontline emergency medical staff with over three years of clinical experience (100.0% vs. 91.5%, P=0.001), and more doctors (19 vs. 15, P=0.039) and nurses (46 vs. 32, P=0.039). In terms of quality and safety and medical service capacity, Zhejiang had a higher severe trauma resuscitation success rate (92.9% vs. 83.75%, P=0.003), annual emergency surgery volume (1 002 vs. 428, P=0.015), and number of emergency surgery procedures (125 vs. 42, P=0.027), but Jiangsu had a shorter emergency room stay time (87.5 min vs. 136.2 min, P=0.029). In terms of informatization, Zhejiang outperformed Jiangsu in all indicators, especially in patient information interconnection and sharing (100.0% vs. 82.4%, P=0.030) and in-hospital diagnosis and treatment timeline (91.7% vs. 73.5%, P=0.043). Correlation analysis showed that the total specialty scale score was significantly positively correlated with the in-hospital emergency rescue service capacity score ( r=0.576) and the staffing score ( r=0.455). The total evaluation score was significantly positively correlated with the informatization total score ( r=0.397) and the pre-hospital emergency rescue service capacity score ( r=0.322). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the emergency rescue service capacity score was significantly positively correlated with hospital grade ( B=1.431, P=0.03, OR=4.185, 95% CI:1.152-15.205). For every 1-unit increase in the emergency department area ( B=0.002, P=0.05), the probability of a hospital being upgraded to B++ or above increased by 0.2% ( OR=1.002, 95% CI:1.000-1.004). Conclusions:Both provinces exhibit distinct advantages in emergency department development. Departmental scale and configuration significantly impact emergency service capabilities, while staffing and quality management constitute core elements for improvement. Informatization construction notably enhances emergency service efficiency and quality.

Objective To investigate the potential mechanism of miR-21-5p in alleviating cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by targeting STAT3.Methods The HT22 cells were induced by OGD/R to construct a cell model of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.The expression of miR-21-5p was detected by RT-qPCR.The CCK-8 assay,TUNEL staining and flow cytometry were respectively used to detect the cell viability and apoptosis.ELISA assay was used to determine the contents of inflammatory factors IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-α in the cell supernatant.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of p-STAT3/STAT3,Cleaved-Caspase-3,Bax and Bcl-2 proteins.The TargetScan database was used to predict the binding sites of miR-21-5p and STAT3.The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between miR-21-5p and STAT3.Results The relative expression level of miR-21-5p was down-regulated in HT22 cells which induced by OGD/R(P<0.001).The cell viability(P<0.0001)was decreased and the apoptosis rate(P<0.001)was increased in OGD/R induced-HT22 cells.The contents of pro-inflammatory factors IL-6(P<0.001)and TNF-α(P<0.001)was increased,while the content of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10(P<0.001)decreased.After transfection with miR-21-5p mimic,cell viability was enhanced,apoptosis rate was reduced and neuroinflammation was inhibited.MiR-21-5p could target and bind to STAT3.After miR-21-5p inhibitor transfection,cell viability decreased,apoptosis was promoted,and neuroinflammation occurred;STAT3 inhibitor Stattic could reverse the effect of miR-21-5p inhibitor.Conclusion MiR-21-5p could specifically bind to STAT3 and reduce the neuroinflammation and apoptosis of OGD/R induced-HT22 cells.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in healthcare facilities in major regions of China in 2023.Methods Clinical isolates collected from 73 hospitals across China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2023 Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoints.Results A total of 445199 clinical isolates were collected in 2023,of which 29.0％ were gram-positive and 71.0％ were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species (excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi) (MRSA,MRSE and MRCNS) was 29.6％,81.9％ and 78.5％,respectively.Methicillin-resistant strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents than methicillin-susceptible strains (MSSA,MSSE and MSCNS).Overall,92.9％ of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 91.4％ of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis had significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 93.1％ in the isolates from children and and 95.9％ in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 15.0％ for most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,22.5％ and 23.6％ of which were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively .Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.6％ to 10.0％.The resistance rate to imipenem and meropenem was 21.9％ and 17.4％ for Pseudomonas aeruginosa,respectively,and 67.5％ and 68.1％ for Acinetobacter baumannii,respectively.Conclusions Increasing resistance to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still observed in clinical bacterial isolates.However,the prevalence of important crabapenem-resistant organisms such as crabapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a slightly decreasing trend.This finding suggests that strengthening bacterial resistance surveillance and multidisciplinary linkage are important for preventing the occurrence and development of bacterial resistance.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and side effects of venetoclax combined with azacitidine chemotherapy in the treatment of previously untreated adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 48 untreated adult AML patients admitted to the Department of Hematology,Affiliated Hospital of Jinggangshan University from January 2020 to December 2022.Among them,26 patients received venetoclax combined with azacitidine chemotherapy(observation group),and 22 patients received daunorubicin plus cytarabine chemotherapy(control group).The differences in complete response(CR)rate,objective response rate(ORR),progression-free survival(PFS),overall survival(OS)and adverse reactions(AR)were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in age,sex ratio,absolute value of tri-lineage cell and proportion of bone marrow primordial cells between the two groups before treatment(all P＞0.05).The CR rate and the ORR rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,there were no significant difference in the adverse reactions such as myelosuppression,granulocytosis,secondary infection,mucosal damage,liver and kidney damage,cardiotoxicity and gastrointestinal toxicity between the two groups(P＞0.05).The median PFS and the median OS of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The remission rate of venetoclax combined with azacitidine was higher than that of conventional chemotherapy in previously untreated adult acute myeloid leukemia.Venetoclax combined with azacitidine chemotherapy could reduce hematologic related side reactions and prolong the remission period and survival of AML patients.
