Objective:To explore whether sivelestat sodium could reduce the expression of mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) in intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells by inhibiting neutrophil elastase (NE) and thus provide new potential therapeutic ideas for the treatment of intrahepatic bile duct stone (IBDS).Methods:①Bioinformatics analysis: differential gene analysis was performed on gallbladder stone cholecystitis sequencing data based on the gene expression omnibus (GEO) to screen for significantly different genes related to neutrophils and mucins. The search tool for the retrieval of interacting genes database (STRING) was used for protein interaction analysis to predict whether there was an interaction between NE and MUC5AC genes. ②Animal experiment: a total of 18 male SD rats were divided into the sham-operated group, cholangitis model group and sivelestat sodium treatment group according to the random number table method, with 6 rats in each group. The cholangitis rat model was established by a one-time injection of 1.25 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the right anterior lobe of the liver of rats in combination with the pre-experiment; the liver of the sham-operated group was injected with an equal volume of saline. After the modelling, 100 mg/kg of sivelestat sodium was injected into the tail vein of the cevalexin treatment group once a day for 5 days, and an equal volume of saline was injected into the tail vein of the sham-operated group and the cholangitis model group. Two weeks later, the rats were euthanized and their liver and bile duct tissues were taken. The pathological changes in the liver and bile duct tissues were observed under the light microscope. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expressions of NE and MUC5AC in liver and bile duct tissues. The protein expressions of NE, MUC5AC and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) were detected by Western blotting. ③Cell experiment: primary human intrahepatic biliary epithelial cell line (HiBEpiC) was divided into blank control group, NE group (10 nmol/L NE), NE+sivelestat sodium low dose group (10 nmol/L NE+1×10 -8 g/L sivelestat sodium 1 mL), NE+sivelestat sodium medium dose group (10 nmol/L NE+1×10 -7 g/L sivelestat sodium 1 mL), NE+sivelestat sodium high dose group (10 nmol/L NE+1×10 -6 g/L sivelestat sodium 1 mL). Cells were collected after 48 hours of culture, and EdU was performed to detect the proliferative activity of cells; enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting were performed to detect the expression of MUC5AC in cells. Results:①Bioinformatics analysis: the NE gene (ELANE) had a reciprocal relationship with MUC5AC. ②Animal experiment: light microscopy showed that hepatocyte edema, hepatocyte diffuse point and focal necrosis, confluent area fibrous tissue and intrahepatic bile ducts hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration in the cholangitis model group; hepatic lobule structure of sivelestat sodium treatment group was clear, and the degree of peripheral inflammatory cell infiltration was reduced compared with the cholangitis model group. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the expressions of NE and MUC5AC were increased in the cholangitis model group compared with the sham-operated group, and the expressions of NE and MUC5AC were decreased in the sivelestat sodium group compared with the cholangitis model group [NE ( A value): 5.23±2.02 vs. 116.67±23.06, MUC5AC ( A value): 5.40±3.09 vs. 23.81±7.09, both P < 0.05]. Western blotting showed that the protein expressions of NE, MUC5AC, and TLR4 in the hepatic biliary tissues of the cholangitis model group were significantly higher than those of the sham-operated group; and the protein expressions of NE, MUC5AC, and TLR4 in the liver biliary tissues of the sivelestat sodium treatment group were significantly higher than those of the sham-operated group (NE/β-actin: 0.38±0.04 vs. 0.70±0.10, MUC5AC/β-actin: 0.37±0.03 vs. 0.61±0.05, TLR4/β-actin: 0.39±0.10 vs. 0.93±0.15, all P < 0.05). ③Cell experiment: fluorescence microscopy showed that the proliferation of HiBEpiC cells in each group was good, and there was no significant difference in the proportion of positive cells. ELISA and Western blotting showed that the expressions of MUC5AC in cells of the NE group were significantly higher than those of the blank control group. The expressions of MUC5AC in the NE+different dose of sivelestat sodium group were significantly lower than those in the NE group, and showed a decreasing trend with the increase of sevastatin sodium concentration, especially in the highest dose group [MUC5AC (μg/L): 3.46±0.20 vs. 6.33±0.52, MUC5AC/β-actin: 0.45±0.07 vs. 1.75±0.10, both P < 0.05]. Conclusion:LPS can upregulate the expression of NE and MUC5AC in rats with cholangitis, while sodium sivelestat can reduce the expression of MUC5AC in in intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells by inhibiting NE, providing a new direction for the treatment of IBDS.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

【Objective】 To explore the risk of Alzheimer′s disease (AD) transmitted by blood transfusion. 【Methods】 There were 10 APP/PS1 mice of 3, 6 and 9 months old, half female and half male, and the cognitive and behavioral abilities of C57 mice of the same age were measured, and the blood of the oldest APP/PS1 mice with no behavioral changes were collected to detect the contents of Aβ40 and Aβ42. The polymers Aβ40 and Aβ42 were prepared and Western blotting analysis was conducted. Kunming mice aged from 6 to 7 months were randomly divided into 6 groups (10 mice/ group, half male and half female). The blood of APP/PS1 mice was injected intravenously in experimental group 1-2(100 μL/mouse) with high frequency injection (3 times/week) and low frequency injection (1 time/week), respectively. In experimental group 3-4, Aβ40 and Aβ42 polymerized mixture (100 μL/mouse) were injected in high frequency and low frequency, respectively. The control group 1-2 was injected with the same amount of normal saline, with high frequency and low frequency, respectively. The above groups were injected for 4 weeks, and the cognitive and behavioral abilities were tested and analyzed one week after injection. Finally, the contents of Aβ40 and Aβ42 in blood of Kunming mice were detected. 【Results】 Change in cognitive and behavioral ability showed in 9 months old APP/PS1 mice, but not in 3 and 6 months old APP/PS1 mice. The contents of Aβ40 and Aβ42 (pg/mL) in blood of 6-7 months old APP/PS1 mice were 418.40±2.18 and 15.68±0.20, respectively. Except for monomers, most of the polymerized mixtures of Aβ40 and Aβ42 were dimers and trimers. In both high frequency and low frequency, Kunming mice transfused with blood of APP/PS1 mice (experimental group 1-2) showed a certain degree of anxiety-like behavior and short-term memory shortening in open-field test and conditioned fear test, but without significant difference. There was no significant difference in open field test, new object recognition, Barnes maze and cognitive behavior analysis of conditioned fear between experimental group 3-4 and the control group. The levels of blood Aβ40 and Aβ42(pg/mL) of Kunming mice detected by ELISA were 10.30±0.08 and 3.360±0.005, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups. 【Conclusion】 Blood transfusion of APP/PS1 mice and the mixture of Aβ40 and Aβ42 have no significant effect on the cognitive function of healthy Kunming mice in a short time, and the risk of AD transmission is relatively low.
