The dried mature peel of Citrus reticulata, a plant in the Rutaceae family and its cultivated varieties, is a commonly used Chinese medicinal material known as Chenpi(Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium). It is rich in nutritional components and medicinal value, with pharmacological effects including relieving cough and eliminating phlegm, strengthening the spleen and drying dampness, protecting the liver and benefiting the stomach, tonifying Qi, and calming the mind. Huanglongbing(HLB), also known as Citrus Huanglongbing, is a destructive disease in citrus production that seriously threatens the development of the citrus industry. HLB causes symptoms such as the inability of Rutaceae plants to produce mature fruit, gradual weakening of the tree, and eventual death, posing a significant threat to the yield and quality of Chenpi. Due to the uneven distribution of the HLB pathogen in infected plants, accurate detection of the pathogen requires the collection of a large number of plant samples. Current sample pretreatment methods, such as traditional extraction methods and commercial extraction kits, are time-consuming and involve multiple steps, which significantly increase the difficulty and workload of HLB diagnosis and have become a bottleneck in HLB detection. In this study, a rapid high-throughput detection method combining alkali lysis and TaqMan qPCR was developed. This method allows the pretreatment of multiple samples within 5 min, and the entire detection process can be completed within 45 min, with a detection limit of 6.67 fg·μL~(-1). The alkali lysis method and commercial kits were used for parallel detection of field-collected citrus samples, and the results showed no significant difference. The sample pretreatment method established in this study is characterized by low cost, simplicity, and high efficiency. Combined with TaqMan qPCR, it can provide technical support for early and on-site diagnosis of HLB. This method is of great significance for disease prevention and control in the citrus industry and is expected to help improve the yield and quality of citrus medicinal materials.

PURPOSE:
To investigate the protective effect of sub-hypothermic mechanical perfusion combined with membrane lung oxygenation on ischemic hypoxic injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss.
METHODS:
This article performed a random controlled trial. Brain tissue of 7 yorkshire was selected and divided into the sub-low temperature anterograde machine perfusion group (n = 4) and the blank control group (n = 3) using the random number table method. A yorkshire model of brain tissue injury induced by traumatic blood loss was established. Firstly, the perfusion temperature and blood oxygen saturation were monitored in real-time during the perfusion process. The number of red blood cells, hemoglobin content, NA+, K+, and Ca2+ ions concentrations and pH of the perfusate were detected. Following perfusion, we specifically examined the parietal lobe to assess its water content. The prefrontal cortex and hippocampus were then dissected for histological evaluation, allowing us to investigate potential regional differences in tissue injury. The blank control group was sampled directly before perfusion. All statistical analyses and graphs were performed using GraphPad Prism 8.0 Student t-test. All tests were two-sided, and p value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.
RESULTS:
The contents of red blood cells and hemoglobin during perfusion were maintained at normal levels but more red blood cells were destroyed 3 h after the perfusion. The blood oxygen saturation of the perfusion group was maintained at 95% - 98%. NA+ and K+ concentrations were normal most of the time during perfusion but increased significantly at about 4 h. The Ca2+ concentration remained within the normal range at each period. Glucose levels were slightly higher than the baseline level. The pH of the perfusion solution was slightly lower at the beginning of perfusion, and then gradually increased to the normal level. The water content of brain tissue in the sub-low and docile perfusion group was 78.95% ± 0.39%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (75.27% ± 0.55%, t = 10.49, p < 0.001), and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with the blank control group, the structure and morphology of pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex and CA1 region of the hippocampal gyrus were similar, and their integrity was better. The structural integrity of granulosa neurons was destroyed and cell edema increased in the perfusion group compared with the blank control group. Immunofluorescence staining for glail fibrillary acidic protein and Iba1, markers of glial cells, revealed well-preserved cell structures in the perfusion group. While there were indications of abnormal cellular activity, the analysis showed no significant difference in axon thickness or integrity compared to the 1-h blank control group.
CONCLUSIONS
Mild hypothermic machine perfusion can improve ischemia and hypoxia injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss and delay the necrosis and apoptosis of yorkshire brain tissue by continuous oxygen supply, maintaining ion homeostasis and reducing tissue metabolism level.

Exosomes can ameliorate neuronal cell injury induced by hypoxia-ischemia,but the relation-ship between astrocyte-derived exosomes(As-exo)and mitochondrial function,mitochondrial associated ER membrane(MAM)function and whether mitochondrial autophagy is relevant is currently unclear.The aim of this study was to investigate the role of astrocyte-derived exosomes in the regulation of mito-chondrial function,MAM and mitochondrial autophagy in PC 12 cells after oxygen and glucose depriva-tion/reoxygenation(OGD/R).Exosomes were extracted from the supernatant of the astrocyte culture me-dium by ultracentrifugation.Using the live cell imaging system,we observed that fluorescently labeled exosomes could show obvious enrichment in PC 12 cells at 24 h.Meanwhile,co-localization of exosomes with mitochondria could be observed under the laser confocal scanning microscope;mitochondrial pres-sure changes were detected using the Seahorse cellular energy metabolism fractionation instrument.The result showed that basal respiration in the OGD/R group,compared with that in the control group,proton leakage,maximal respiration and ATP-related respiration were significantly reduced(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and all four indexes were elevated and statistically significant in the OGD/R+exo group compared with the control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The results of the co-localization of the mitochondria and ER showed that the structure of the MAM was harmed by oxygen-sugar deprivation and then reoxygen-ation,and the structure of As-exo and the mitochondria appeared to have a distance-reduced polymeriza-tion phenomenon,while the mitochondria and ER co-localized.The co-localization results of mitochondri-a and ER showed that the structure of MAM was damaged by oxygen deprivation and reoxygenation,and the aggregation phenomenon of MAM was weakened by the treatment of As-exo;the flow-through results showed that As-exo could restore the decrease of the mitochondrial membrane potential and the elevation of the ROS by oxygen deprivation to a certain degree.Western blotting showed that As-exo could signifi-cantly inhibit the mitochondrial autophagy-associated tension protein homologue induced hypothetical ki-nase 1(PTEN induced kinase 1(PINK1)and Parkin protein(parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase(Parkin))were elevated,and the addition of As-exo decreased LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ protein expression,ele-vated P62 protein expression,and reduced OGD/R-induced mitochondrial autophagy.The results showed that OGD/R treatment can cause mitochondrial dysfunction,MAM structural changes and increased mito-chondrial autophagy in PC12 cells,and As-exo treatment can improve mitochondrial function,attenuate the formation of MAM,and reduce mitochondrial autophagy in PC 12 cells,which can have the potential of preventing the reperfusion injury in ischemic stroke.
