The molecular mechanism of verbascoside(OC1) in promoting acetylcholine(ACh) release in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease(AD) was studied. Adrenal pheochromocytoma cells(PC12) of rats induced by β-amyloid protein(1-42)(Aβ_(1-42)) were used as AD models in vitro and were divided into control group, model group(Aβ_(1-42) 10 μmol·L~(-1)), OC1 treatment group(2 and 10 μg·mL~(-1)). The effect of OC1 on phosphorylated proteins in AD models was analyzed by whole protein phosphorylation quantitative omics, and the selectivity of OC1 for calcium channel subtypes was virtually screened in combination with computer-aided drug design. The fluorescence probe Fluo-3/AM was used to detect Ca~(2+) concentration in cells. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the effects of OC1 on the expression of phosphorylated calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ(p-CaMKⅡ, Thr286) and synaptic vesicle-related proteins, and UPLC/Q Exactive MS was used to detect the effects of OC1 on ACh release in AD models. The effects of OC1 on acetylcholine esterase(AChE) activity in AD models were detected. The results showed that the differentially modified proteins in the model group and the OC1 treatment group were related to calcium channel activation at three levels: GO classification, KEGG pathway, and protein domain. The results of molecular docking revealed the dominant role of L-type calcium channels. Fluo-3/AM fluorescence intensity decreased under the presence of Ca~(2+) chelating agent ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid(EGTA), L-type calcium channel blocker verapamil, and N-type calcium channel blocker conotoxin, and the effect of verapamil was stronger than that of conotoxin. This confirmed that OC1 promoted extracellular Ca~(2+) influx mainly through its interaction with L-type calcium channel protein. In addition, proteomic analysis and Western blot results showed that the expression of p-CaMKⅡ and downstream vesicle-related proteins was up-regulated after OC1 treatment, indicating that OC1 acted on vesicle-related proteins by activating CaMKⅡ and participated in synaptic remodeling and transmitter release, thus affecting learning and memory. OC1 also decreased the activity of AChE and prolonged the action time of ACh in synaptic gaps.

Objective To explore the application value of physical examination information annotation combined with artificial intelli-gence (AI) in CT diagnosis of rib fractures. Methods The clinical data of 100 patients with chest trauma who underwent rib CT examina-tion with physical examination information annotation were collected. The images were analyzed by two physicians in the department of radiology with different seniorities using four methods[diagnosed by physicians independently (group A),diagnosed by physicians combined with physical examination information annotation (group B),diagnosed by physicians under the assistance of AI (group C),and diagnosed by physicians combined with physical examination information annotation under the assistance of AI (group D)]. The diagnostic efficacy and diagnostic time of two radiologists using different methods for rib fractures were compared. Results The sensitivities of two radiologists with different seniorities in the diagnosis of rib fracture in the group A were lower than those in the groups B,C and D (P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in the sensitivity of rib fracture among groups B,C and D (P>0.05). The diagnostic sensitivity of resident physician in the group A was lower than that of the attending physicians (P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in the diagnostic sensitivity of rib fracture in the other groups between the two physicians (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the false-positive rate of rib fractures among groups between two physicians (P>0.05). There was statistically significant difference in the diagnostic time among groups between two physicians (P<0.05),among which group A took the longest diagnosis time and group C took the shortest. Conclusion The assistance of AI and conbinatin of physical examination information annotation can increase the sensitivity of the physician in the diagnosis of rib fractures,shorten the diagnostic time and improve the work efficiency.
