ObjectiveMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS); however, its underlying neurological pathogenic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Endogenous formaldehyde (FA), a metabolic byproduct of methylation-demethylation cycles, has recently been implicated in neurotoxicity, oxidative damage, and cognitive impairment. This study aimed to investigate whether excessive FA contributes to myelin sheath demyelination in mice and to evaluate the protective effects and mechanisms of two FA-elimination strategies: sodium bisulfite (NaHSO₃), a classical FA scavenger, and polyethylene glycol-modified astaxanthin nanoparticles (PEG-ATX@NPs), a brain-targeted nano-antioxidant formulation. MethodsA chronic demyelination model was established by feeding female C57BL/6J mice a diet containing 0.2% cuprizone (CPZ) for four weeks, followed by a two-week intervention period. Eighty mice were randomly assigned to four groups: NS (normal saline), CPZ+NS, CPZ+NaHSO₃, and CPZ+PEG-ATX@NPs. Behavioral tests, including open-field, Y-maze, and pole-climbing assays, were conducted to assess locomotor activity, motor coordination, and working memory. FA levels in serum, corpus callosum, and spinal cord were measured using an Na-FA fluorescent probe and quantified via in vivo and ex vivo fluorescence imaging. Neuroinflammatory responses were evaluated by measuring TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels using ELISA, while oxidative stress was assessed by reactive oxygen species (ROS) fluorescence intensity. Demyelination was examined via Luxol fast blue staining, and microglial activation was analyzed by Iba1 immunofluorescence. Correlation analyses were performed to explore relationships among FA levels, inflammatory cytokines, ROS intensity, and behavioral parameters. ResultsCompared with the NS group, mice in the CPZ+NS group exhibited significant weight loss, impaired motor coordination and memory, and markedly reduced myelin regeneration (P<0.05). FA levels and pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly elevated in serum, corpus callosum, and spinal cord (P<0.05). FA-associated fluorescence in brain and spinal tissues, as well as ROS intensity across all tissues examined, also increased substantially (P<0.05). CPZ treatment induced pronounced microglial activation and severe demyelination in the corpus callosum (P<0.01). Both NaHSO₃ and PEG-ATX@NPs effectively reduced FA accumulation in the brain and spinal cord, attenuated demyelination, suppressed microglial activation, decreased inflammatory cytokine levels, and improved motor and cognitive performance. These results confirm that CPZ induced severe demyelination accompanied by oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and abnormal FA accumulation. Following intervention with either NaHSO₃ or PEG-ATX@NPs, endogenous FA levels in the CNS were substantially reduced. Both treatments alleviated demyelination and significantly decreased the number of activated microglia. Levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in serum, corpus callosum, and spinal cord were downregulated. Behavioral performance improved significantly, as evidenced by enhanced locomotor activity, better coordination, and improved memory function. These findings indicate that both FA-scavenging agents mitigate CPZ-induced biochemical and behavioral abnormalities. ConclusionThis study demonstrates that excessive endogenous FA is closely associated with cognitive impairment, inflammatory dysregulation, and demyelination in a CPZ-induced chronic demyelination mouse model. Clearing abnormally elevated FA effectively reduces neuroinflammation, suppresses microglial overactivation, decreases oxidative stress, and alleviates demyelination, ultimately improving motor and cognitive outcomes in mice. These results suggest that targeting endogenous FA represents a promising therapeutic strategy for MS and other demyelinating disorders. Further investigations are warranted to explore the long-term safety, dosage optimization, and molecular pathways involved in FA-mediated neurotoxicity.

Objective To explore the mechanism by which the sanguis draconis flavones(SDF)regulates the reactive oxygen species(ROS)/thioredoxin-interacting protein(TXNIP)pathway to mediate cell pyroptosis and improve cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury(CIRI)in rats.Methods The experimental rats were randomly divided into the control group(Ctrl),the CIRI group,the low-dose SDF group(SDF-L),the high-dose SDF group(SDF-H),and the SDF-H+ROS/TXNIP pathway activator,trimethylamine oxide(TMAO)group(SDF-H+TMAO).Among them,except for the control group,the remaining rats all needed to establish the CIRI rat model by the modified suture method.Zea Longa scoring was performed on rats from each group.ELISA was used to detect the levels of serum inflammatory factors interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-18 and oxidative stress-related factors superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px).Flow cytometry was used to measure the ROS levels.Cerebral edema was detected.Cerebral infarction was detected by 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining.HE staining was used to detect the pathological changes of brain tissue.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of pyrolytic effector protein dermolin D(GSDMD).Western blotting was used to detect the expression of proteins related to the ROS/TXNIP pathway.Results Compared with the control group,a large area of cerebral infarctions were observed in the brain tissue of the CIRI group,accompanied by mild hemorrhage and obvious infiltration of inflammatory cells.Neuronal cells underwent degeneration and necrosis,with sparse and disordered arrangement.The phenomena of nuclear condensation and nucleolus lysis were obvious.The Zea Longa score,cerebral infarction volume,brain tissue water content,levels of IL-1β,IL-18,ROS,MDA,and the expressions of GSDMD,TXNIP,nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3),apoptosis-related punctate protein(ASC),and Caspase-1 increased,while the activities of SOD and GSH-Px decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the CIRI group,the pathological damage of brain tissues in the SDF-L group and the SDF-H group was significantly improved.The Zea Longa score,cerebral infarction volume,brain tissue water content,levels of IL-1β,IL-18,ROS,MDA,and the expressions of GSDMD,TXNIP,NLRP3,ASC,and Caspase-1 decreased.The activities of SOD and GSH-Px increased(P＜0.05);TMAO treatment partially reversed the improvement effect of SDF on CIRI in rats.Conclusion SDF ameliorates cerebral CIRI in rats by inhibiting ROS/TXNIP pathway-mediated pyroptosis.

AIM To investigate the effects of Heixiaoyao Powder on neuroinflammation in APP/PS1 transgenic mice.METHODS The 16-week-old male APP/PS1 transgenic mice were randomly divided into the model group,the BBG group(P2X7R specific antagonist,30 mg/kg)and high,medium and low dose Heixiaoyao Powder groups of(22.10,11.05,5.53 g/kg),in contrast to the male C57BL/6J mice of the same age and the same strain of the blank groups,with 12 mice in each group.When normal saline by gavage was dosed upon the blank group and the model group,and the other groups were treated with corresponding drug by gavage.After 90 days of administration,the mice had their learning and memory ability detected by Morris water maze test;their hippocampal pathological changes observed with HE staining;their MyD88 expression detected by immunofluorescence staining;their hippocampal levels of pro-inflammatory factors(TNF-α,IL-6),anti-inflammatory factors(IL-10),ATP and amyloid protein β(Aβ)detected by ELISA;their hippocampal mRNA expressions of P2X7R,TLR4,MyD88 and NF-κB-P65 detected by RT-qPCR method;and their hippocampal protein expressions of P2X7R,TLR4,MyD88,NF-κB-P65 and p-NF-κB-P65 detected by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the blank group,the model group demonstrated prolonged escape latency and reduced frequency in crossing platform(P＜0.01);decreased number of hippocampal neurons,deranged neurons,and darker cytoplasm staining;increased immunofluorescence expression of hippocampal MyD88(P＜0.01);decreased IL-10 level(P＜0.01);increased levels of TNF-α,IL-6,ATP and Aβ(P＜0.01);increased mRNA and protein expressions ofP2X7R,TLR4 and MyD88(P＜0.01),and increased protein expression of p-NF-κB-P65(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the groups intervened with Heixiaoyao Powder or BBG demonstrated shortened escape latency and increased frequency in crossing platform(P＜0.01);more number of neatly arranged hippocampal neurons;increased hippocampal IL-10 level(P＜0.01),decreased levels of TNF-α,IL-6,ATP and Aβ(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);decreased mRNA and protein expressions of P2X7R,TLR4 and MyD88(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and decreased protein expression of p-NF-κB-P65(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Except the low dose Heixiaoyao Powder group,the other treatment groups shared decreased immunofluorescence expression of MyD88(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Heixiaoyao Powder can significantly improve the learning and memory ability of APP/PS1 model mice,and its mechanism may lie in its function in alleviating cerebral neuroinflammation by reducing the abnormal Aβ aggregation via inhibiting the activation of ATP/P2X7R/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of Heixiaoyao powder in regulating mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1(MKP-1)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK)signaling pathway on the level of Tau protein and neuroinflammation in the hippocampus of Alzheimer's disease(AD)rats.Methods Male Wistar rats with SPF grade were randomly divided into blank,sham-operation,model,control and experimental-L,-M,-H groups with 10 rats per group.In addition to the blank and sham-operation groups,the other 5 groups of rats were injected with β-amyloid 1-42(Aβ1-42)solution in bilateral hippocampus to replicate AD rat model,and the sham-operation group was injected with the same amount of 0.9％NaCl in the same way.Animals successfully replicated in the model were randomly divided into model group,control group(0.5 mg·kg-1 donepezil hydrochloride)and experimental-L,-M,-H groups(3.82,7.65,15.30 g·kg-1 Heixiaoyao powder decoction).The blank,sham-operation and model groups were given equal volume of 0.9％NaCl by gavage.The drug was given by gavage once a day for 42 days.Morris water maze was used to detect the learning and memory ability of rats.The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)in hippocampus were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Western blot was used to detect the expression of MKP-1,phospho JNK(p-JNK)and phospho Tau(p-Tau)proteins.Results The escape latency on day 5 of the experimental-M,-H groups,control group,model group,sham-operation group and blank group were(8.28±7.67),(7.89±4.18),(7.86±2.68),(16.55±4.16),(6.46±3.30)and(3.60±1.53)s;the levels of TNF-α in the above groups were(406.56±28.44),(404.17±22.84),(402.28±28.36),(665.89±61.15),(226.44±34.84)and(218.50±30.16)pg·mL-1;IL-6 levels were(136.54±7.04),(121.67±5.19),(119.15±5.87),(166.27±8.91),(88.75±5.28)and(79.58±7.53)ng·L-1;the relative expression levels of MKP-1 protein were 2.31±0.34,2.59±0.38,2.58±0.37,1.23±0.25,2.64±0.19 and 2.84±0.18;the relative expression levels of p-JNK protein were 3.46±0.35,3.45±0.31,3.20±0.23,4.48±0.30,2.87±0.51 and 2.30±0.26;the relative expression levels of p-Tau protein were 3.46±0.33,3.24±0.48,3.09±0.31,4.85±1.06,2.69±0.34 and 2.40±0.55,respectively.Compared with the model group and the normal group,compared with the experimental group and the model group,the differences of above indexes were statistically significant(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Heixiaoyao powder can improve the learning and memory ability of AD rats,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of MKP-1 and JNK proteins,thus inhibiting the phosphorylation level of Tau protein and alleviating neuroinflammation.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of systemic allergic reactions induced by subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in patients undergoing SCIT injections in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH). Methods: This is a single center retrospective cohort study. Using the outpatient information system of PUMCH, the demographic information and injection-related reaction data of patients undergoing SCIT injection in Allergy Department of PUMCH from December 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed to count the incidence and risk factors of systemic allergic reactions caused by SCIT. Mann-Whitney nonparametric test or chi-square test was used for single-factor analysis, and multiple logistic regression was used for multiple-factor analysis. Results: A total of 2 897 patients received 18 070 SCIT injections in Allergy Department during the four years, and 40 systemic allergic reactions occurred, with the overall incidence rate of 0.22%. The incidence of systemic allergic reaction was 0.37% when using imported dust mite preparation and 0.15% when using domestic multi-component allergen preparation. The risk factors significantly related with SCIT-induced systemic allergic reactions in patients using imported dust mite preparation were age less than 18 years old (OR=3.186,95%CI: 1.255-8.085), highest injection concentration (OR value could not be calculated because all patients with systemic reactions were injected with highest concentration), and large local reaction in previous injection (OR=22.264,95%CI: 8.205-60.411). The risk factors for SCIT-induced systemic allergic reactions in patients using domestic allergen preparation were 5 or more types of allergens (OR=3.455,95%CI: 1.147-10.402), highest injection concentration (OR=3.794,95%CI: 1.226-11.740) and large local reaction in previous injection (OR=63.577,95%CI: 22.248-181.683). However, SCIT injection in pollen allergic patients during the pollen season did not show a correlation with systemic allergic reaction. Conclusion: The incidence of SCIT-induced systemic allergic reactions was low in the Chinese patient population of this study. Patients with one or more risk factors, such as multiple allergen injection, highest injection concentration, large local reaction in previous injection, should be given high attention and vigilance against systemic allergic reactions.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the characteristics and influencing factors of high-risk factors and adverse outcomes of pregnancy in different occupational populations in a medical college community. METHODS: A total of 719 pregnant women in a medical college community were selected by convenient sampling method and divided into medical staff group(218 women) and non-medical staff group(501 women, including 138 teaching staff subgroup, 129 administrative service staff subgroup and 234 other occupation subgroup). The detection rate of high-risk factors and adverse outcomes of pregnancy were compared among these groups. RESULTS: Among the study subjects with the top five detection rates, high-risk factors of pregnancy were abnormal body mass index, advanced age, diabetes mellitus, scarred uterus and abnormal thyroid function, with the detection rate of 21.4%, 17.5%, 9.7%, 7.5% and 7.5%, respectively. The detection rates of pregnancy high-risk factors≥two, adverse pregnancy outcome, adverse fetal outcome, miscarriage and low birth weight in the medical group were significantly lower than those in the non-medical staff group(all P<0.05). The detection rates of pregnancy risk factors, primary screening risk factors, scarred uterus and pregnancy anemia in the teaching staff subgroup were significantly higher than those in the other occupation subgroups(all P<0.008). The detection rates of pregnancy high-risk factors ≥two and advanced age in the teaching staff subgroup were higher than those in medical staff group(all P<0.008). The detection rates of adverse pregnancy outcome and miscarriage in the administrative service staff subgroup were higher than those in medical staff group(all P<0.008). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that occupation, advanced age, parity and scarred uterus were the main influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcome(all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: There are differences in pregnancy high-risk factors and adverse pregnancy outcomes among different occupational groups. The teaching staff subgroup has a relatively higher detection rate of pregnancy high-risk factors, and the adverse pregnancy outcomes and miscarriage were relatively higher in the administrative service staff subgroup, compared with the medical staff group.
