ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) on the cytoskeleton of pancreatic ductal epithelial cells in a mouse model of acute pancreatitis (AP) induced by caerulein (CAE), to analyze the role of MCU in the development of AP, and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment. MethodsIn the in vivo experiment, wild-type male C57BL6/J mice, aged 4 weeks, were randomly divided into control group and AP group, with 6 mice in each group. The mice in the AP group were given intraperitoneal injection of CAE to establish a model of AP, and those in the control group were given intraperitoneal injection of an equal volume of normal saline. Serum and pancreatic tissue samples were collected after 24 hours of modeling. HE staining was used to observe pancreatic histopathological changes; Western Blot was used to measure the expression levels of MCU, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 (ASCL4); kits were used to measure the serum level of amylase. In the in vitro experiment, the human pancreatic ductal epithelial cell line HPDE6-C7 was co-cultured with CAE for 24 hours to establish an in vitro AP model, and the cells were divided into control group, CAE group, RR (an MCU activity inhibitor) group, CAE+RR group, Fer-1 (an ferroptosis inhibitor) group, CAE+Fer-1 group, Erastin (an ferroptosis inducer) group, and CAE+Erastin group. CCK-8 assay was used to observe the influence of different agents on cell viability; Western Blot was used to measure the expression levels of MCU, GPX4, and ASCL4; immunofluorescence assay was used to measure reactive oxygen species (ROS), actin cytoskeleton, and monolayer permeability; kits were used to measure the concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), Fe2+, and total iron. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test was used for comparison between two groups. ResultsIn the in vivo experiment, compared with the control group, the AP group had significant increases in pancreatic histopathological score, the serum level of amylase, and the expression levels of MCU and ASCL4, as well as a significant reduction in the expression of GPX4 (all P<0.05). In the in vitro experiment, compared with the control group, the CAE group had significant increases in the expression levels of MCU and ASCL4, a significant reduction in the expression of GPX4, and significant increases in the concentrations of Fe2+, total iron, and MDA, the green fluorescence intensity of ROS, and monolayer permeability, as well as a significant reduction in the concentration of GSH (all P<0.05), with the presence of actin cytoskeleton disruption. Compared with the CAE group, the CAE+RR group had a significant increase in the expression level of GPX4, a significant reduction in the expression level of ASCL4, and significant reductions in the concentrations of Fe2+, total iron, and MDA, the green fluorescence intensity of ROS, and monolayer permeability and a significant increase in the concentration of GSH (all P<0.05), with alleviation of actin cytoskeleton disruption. Compared with the CAE group, the CAE+Fer-1 group had significant reductions in the concentrations of Fe2+, total iron, and MDA, the green fluorescence intensity of ROS, and monolayer permeability and a significant increase in the concentration of GSH (all P<0.05), with alleviation of actin cytoskeleton disruption. Compared with the CAE group, the CAE+Erastin group had significant increases in the concentrations of Fe2+, total iron, and MDA, the green fluorescence intensity of ROS, and monolayer permeability and a significant reduction in the concentration of GSH (all P<0.05), with aggravation of actin cytoskeleton disruption. ConclusionDuring the onset of AP, MCU mediates oxidative stress-induced ferroptosis and leads to the disruption of the pancreatic ductal epithelial barrier, which may be one of the possible pathogeneses of AP.

ObjectiveTo describe the disposal process of the first imported case of Zika virus disease in Shanghai, and to provide a reference for the prevention and control of imported infectious diseases in the future. MethodsA retrospective review was conducted of the process by which epidemiological investigation, etiological testing, and case management were performed by the Shanghai municipal-and district-level Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) after one imported case of Zika virus disease was identified by Shanghai Customs. ResultsOn April 8th, 2025, customs authority at a certain airport in Shanghai identified a febrile inbound case (case A, female, 40 years old). An antecubital venous blood specimen was obtained and analyzed by nucleic acid testing for various vector-borne pathogens, by which Zika virus nucleic acid was found to be positive. On 9 April, the district CDC collected antecubital venous blood specimens again from Case A and her three accompanying travelers (B, C, and D), and nucleic acid testing was conducted for multiple mosquito-borne infectious diseases. Case A again tested positive for Zika virus nucleic acid, while Traveler D (male, aged 6 years) tested positive for dengue virus nucleic acid. The other two travelers tested negative. Case A and Traveler D were subsequently transferred to a designated district hospital for isolation and treatment. After discharge, both cases left China and returned to their overseas residence. ConclusionCase A was the first imported case of Zika virus disease in Shanghai. For cases with a history of living in endemic areas of multiple infectious diseases such as dengue virus, Zika virus and chikungunya virus, it is necessary to carry out rapid testing of multiple pathogens simultaneously to prevent missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis.

Objective: To quantify the spatiotemporal factors and built environment effects on daily blood collection volumes at fixed sites using multi-source spatiotemporal data, explore the influence radii of different point of interest(POI) categories, and develop a classification framework for sites, thereby providing data references for efficiency diagnosis and network optimization of blood collection sites. Methods: We collected daily blood donation records from 16 fixed whole blood collection sites in Guangzhou in 2023, constructing a balanced “site-day” panel dataset (16 sites × 365 days = 5 840 observations). Multi-source geospatial data, including Amap POI, OpenStreetMap (OSM) road network, and meteorological data were integrated to establish 300 m, 500 m, 800 m, and 1 000 m buffer zones around each site. Variables extracted included counts of surrounding commercial facilities, distance to the nearest subway station, rainfall, and temperature. A two-way fixed effects panel model was employed with a first-order lag term of the dependent variable to capture the inertial effect of blood donation behavior. Based on the significant regression coefficients, a "Structure-Function Index (SFI)" was constructed for each site to identify its optimal buffer radius. Combining inherent site capacity (fixed effects) with the optimal SFI, a two-dimensional quadrant diagram was created to classify the sites. Results: The optimized model showed an adjusted R
of 0.89 and a Durbin-Watson statistic of 1.90, with the lag term coefficient stable at 0.36 (P<0.05). Temporal effects were significant: campaign days increased blood collection by 1 717.75 mL, holidays by 3 755.53 mL, and overlapping holidays with campaign days by 5 650.49 mL (P<0.05). Rainy days reduced collection by approximately 419 mL (P<0.05), and each 1℃ rise in daily average temperature decreased collection by approximately 31 mL (P<0.05). Distance to the nearest subway station was significantly positive (coefficient 0.95-1.39, P<0.05). POI effects showed scale-dependent differences: within 300 m, leisure and entertainment (+173.65 mL/unit) and shopping (+2.95 mL/unit) were significantly positive; within 500 m, tourist attractions (+72.55 mL/unit) and hotels (+40.09 mL/unit) were significantly positive; within 1 000 m, these effects diminished. Based on the two-dimensional classification of inherent collection capacity and optimal SFI, sites were categorized into four types: core, potential, adjustment, and resource-dependent. Conclusion: This study elucidates the multidimensional determinants of blood collection site efficiency, and provides quantitative evidence for performance diagnosis. It proposes a "concentric-zone planning" approach for site selection assessment alongside a" station-specific strategy" classification framework, offering data-driven references for network planning and resource allocation in blood collection and supply institutions. It should be noted that blood donation site selection also involves complex factors such as budgetary constraints, interdepartmental coordination, and venue conditions. This study provides a spatial econometric perspective for the quantitative optimization of blood collection networks.

Puerariae Lobatae Radix and Puerariae Thomsonii Radix are the dried roots of Pueraria lobata and Pueraria thomsonii of the Leguminosae family, respectively. Since their separate inclusion in the 2005 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China, the two herbs have been individually recorded. Although they share the same functions and indications, the required content of puerarin differs by a factor of up to eightfold between them. The current quality standard relies solely on a single indicator, puerarin, which fails to reflect the correlation between chemical constituents and core therapeutic effects. This has resulted in prominent issues of mixed use in clinical practice and production, thereby constraining the high-quality development of the industry. Modern research has demonstrated that Puerariae Lobatae Radix contains a comprehensive range and higher content of isoflavonoid constituents, while Puerariae Thomsonii Radix is rich in starch and polysaccharides. Puerariae Lobatae Radix exhibits stronger effects in antipyresis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protection, and central analgesia, while Puerariae Thomsonii Radix demonstrates greater advantages in anti-inflammation, hypoglycemia, and peripheral analgesia. Based on this, the chemical material bases of Puerariae Lobatae Radix and Puerariae Thomsonii Radix at both the macromolecule and micromolecule levels were systematically reviewed and compared. The pharmacodynamic material bases and mechanisms of action underlying their three core therapeutic effects, namely "relieving exterior syndrome and clearing heat", "promoting fluid production to quench thirst", and "dredging channels and activating collaterals", were summarized. The most highly correlated common metabolic pathway shared by both herbs for these three therapeutic effects is the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway, and their common core target is prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2). This review provided clinical application recommendations based on the therapeutic differences between the two herbs, elucidated the scientific connotation of their "same origin but different effects", and, grounded in the quality marker (Q-Marker), proposed the concept of efficacy-related Q-Marker based on "substance-efficacy-syndrome" association, as well as a novel strategy for efficacy-oriented quality evaluation. Preliminary screening of quality markers associated with different therapeutic effects was also conducted. This study aims to provide critical scientific evidence for the precise clinical application of Puerariae Lobatae Radix and Puerariae Thomsonii Radix, the improvement of quality standards, and the high-quality development of the industry.

Autoimmune diseases of the nervous system are a category of conditions in which a malfunction of the body's immune system leads to damage of nerve tissues, with B cells playing a critical role in their pathogenesis. Currently, the therapeutic approaches used in clinical practice (such as monoclonal antibodies targeting B cells) can effectively control the progression of these diseases, but fail to achieve a radical cure. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy uses genetic engineering to modify T cells derived from either patients or donors, enabling them to specifically target and durably eliminate peripheral B cells, which might remit or even functionally cure these diseases. Currently, multiple clinical studies on efficacy and safety of CAR-T cell therapy in neurological autoimmune diseases have been carried out successively, and initial results have been achieved. This article reviews the clinical research progress in this field, discusses its application prospects and challenges, aiming to provide some references for in-depth research in this area.
