Post-stroke cognitive impairment(PSCI),refers to a range of clinical syndromes of cognitive impairment caused by stroke.Although its specific pathogenesis is still unclear,many studies have confirmed that endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria interaction has become a key hub for intracellular signal transduction and substance metabolism,and its regulation of various biological processes,such as Ca2+ balance,lipid metabolism,mitochondrial dynamics,autophagy,and neuroinflammation,is closely related to the development of PSCI.There-fore,in this paper,we will review the various functions of endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondrial interactions and explore their specific roles in PSCI,in order to discover new therapeutic targets and provide new theoretical basis and references for the development of PSCI-targeted drugs in the future.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Banxia Xiexin decoction(BXD) on colitis associated cancer(CAC) mice and its related mechanism. METHODS Seventy-five C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, Banxia Xiexin decoction low-dose group, high-dose group and mesalazine group. Except for the normal group, the mice in the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with azoxymethane combined with oral dextran sodium sulfate to establish the CAC model. BXD and mesalazine were given respectively for intervention. The general conditions of all mice were observed and recorded, and the changes of body weight, disease activity index, colon length and tumor number were monitored. HE staining was utilized to observe the pathological changes of colon tissue. The expression levels of PCNA, NF-κB P65 and IκB-α were detected by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA levels of IL-17A, N-cadherin, E-cadherin and Bcl-2 were detected by qRT-PCR. Macrophage infiltration was measured using immunostaining analysis. Western blotting was applied to analyze the expression of NF-κB, E-cadherin and N-cadherin proteins in colon tissues of each group. RESULTS There was no significant tumor occurrence in the normal group, while the body weight of the model group mice was significantly reduced and the number of colon tumors increased. The colon length, number of tumors, and degree of inflammatory cell infiltration in the BXD group were significantly improved compared to the model group. Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of PCNA, NF-κB P65 and IκB-α protein in colon tissue of model group was remarkably increased (P<0.01). Immunofluorescence results showed that the number of F4/80, CD80 and CD206 positive macrophages in the colon tissue of the model group increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The results of RT-PCR demonstrated that the levels of IL-17A, N-cadherin and Bcl-2 mRNA in the colon tissue of the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), while the level of E-cadherin mRNA was fundamentally decreased (P<0.01). Western blotting results displayed that the expression levels of NF-κB and N-cadherin protein in colon tissue of model group were up-regulated (P<0.01), while E-cadherin was significantly down-regulated (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the changes of the above indexes in the BXD and mesalazine groups were ameliorated, with statistical differences (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the changes in the BXD high-dose group were more significant. CONCLUSION BXD exhibits strong anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor benefits in CAC mice, inhibiting macrophage activation in colon tissue and promoting M2 polarization, while reducing the expression of tumor associated proteins PCNA and Bcl-2, and block the progression of EMT related proteins (E-cadherin and N-cadherin). The mechanism may connect to suppressing NF-κB P65 and IκB-α activation to regulate the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the relationship between body mass index(BMI)and blood pressure(BP),blood lipids,waist-to-hip ratio(WHR),and hemoglobin(Hb)in the elderly.Methods A total of 10 978 elderly individuals aged≥65 years old in a community in Baoshan District,Shanghai from February 2023 to October 2023 were selected as the research subjects.Height,body mass,waist circumference(WC),hip circumference(HC),systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),total cholesterol(TC),high-density lipoprotein(HDL),low-density lipoprotein(LDL),Hb were measured,and BMI and WHR were calculated.According to the Chinese BMI reference standard,the elderly were divided into a lean group(BMI＜18.5 kg/m2,n= 310),a normal body mass group(18.5 kg/m2≤BMI＜24 kg/m2,n=4 692),a overweight group(24 kg/m2≤BMI＜28 kg/m2,n= 4 615),and an obese group(BMI≥28 kg/m2,n=1 361).The levels of BP,blood lipids,WHR,and Hb in the four groups were compared and correlation analysis was conducted.Results The levels of BMI,WC,HC,WHR,SBP,DBP,and Hb in elderly men were higher than those in elderly women(all P＜0.01),while the levels of TC,HDL,and LDL were lower than those in elderly women(all P＜0.01).The differences in SBP,DBP,TC,HDL,LDL,WHR,and Hb among the four groups were statistically significant(all P＜0.05),and BMI was positively correlated with SBP,DBP,TC,LDL,WHR,and Hb(r=0.109,0.064,0.041,0.042,0.108,0.089,all P＜0.01),and negatively correlated with HDL(r=﹣0.106,P＜0.01).The BMI of elderly men in the normal body mass group was higher than that of elderly women,while the BMI of elderly women in the obesity group was higher than that of elderly men(both P＜0.01).In the normal body mass group,the BMI of elderly people aged＜75 years old was higher than that of elderly people aged≥75 years old(P＜0.05).Conclusions BMI is closely related to the health of the elderly,and maintaining an ideal BMI is the foundation for health management and prevention of chronic diseases in the elderly.

Objective:To investigate the impact of single incision laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer on postoperative quality of life and prognosis in patients with colon cancer.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 84 colorectal cancer patients admitted to Suzhou Municipal Hospital between June 2019 and June 2022. The patients were divided into two groups of 42 each according to their wishes. The control group underwent traditional laparoscopic radical surgery for colon cancer; The observation group underwent single incision laparoscopic radical resection for colon cancer. Two sets of surgical related indicators, postoperative stress response, immune inflammatory response, tumor markers, complications, and prognosis were compared.Results:Compared with the control group, the observation group had less intraoperative bleeding [(142.58±23.76)ml vs (121.37±20.23)ml], faster recovery of intestinal function [(3.87±0.65)d vs (3.12±0.45)d], lower postoperative Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores [(3.52±0.70)points vs (2.46±0.49)points], and a lower incidence of postoperative complications [26.19%(11/42) vs 7.14%(3/42)] (all P<0.05); There was no statistically significant difference in the surgical time, hospitalization time, and levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen (CA199) between the two groups (all P>0.05). The postoperative level of cortisol (Cor) [(473.25±52.58)nmol/L vs (447.53±49.73)nmol/L], adrenaline (E) [(662.41±73.60)μg/L vs (622.84±69.20)μ g/L], norepinephrine (NE) [(18.52±2.06)μ g/L vs (17.48±1.94)μ g/L], interleukin-6 (IL-6) [(51.24±5.26)pg/ml vs (47.33±5.26)pg/ml], high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) [(21.47±3.58)ng/ml vs (19.26±3.26)ng/ml] of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (all P<0.05). The postoperative levels of CD3 + [(58.34±3.89) vs (60.21±4.01)] and CD4 + /CD8 + [(1.24±0.14) vs (1.31±0.15)] in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the survival curve analysis between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Both traditional conventional laparoscopic radical surgery and single incision laparoscopic radical surgery have good therapeutic effects on colorectal patients, which can effectively reduce tumor marker levels and have a good prognosis. However, single incision laparoscopic radical surgery has less stress damage to patients, can reduce immune inflammatory reactions, and has fewer postoperative complications, which can promote postoperative recovery.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is often accompanied with an induction of retinaldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (RALDH1 or ALDH1A1) expression and a consequent decrease in hepatic retinaldehyde (Rald) levels. However, the role of hepatic Rald deficiency in T2D progression remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that reversing T2D-mediated hepatic Rald deficiency by Rald or citral treatments, or liver-specific Raldh1 silencing substantially lowered fasting glycemia levels, inhibited hepatic glucogenesis, and downregulated phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PC) expression in diabetic db/db mice. Fasting glycemia and Pck1/G6pc mRNA expression levels were strongly negatively correlated with hepatic Rald levels, indicating the involvement of hepatic Rald depletion in T2D deterioration. A similar result that liver-specific Raldh1 silencing improved glucose metabolism was also observed in high-fat diet-fed mice. In primary human hepatocytes and oleic acid-treated HepG2 cells, Rald or Rald + RALDH1 silencing resulted in decreased glucose production and downregulated PCK1/G6PC mRNA and protein expression. Mechanistically, Rald downregulated direct repeat 1-mediated PCK1 and G6PC expression by antagonizing retinoid X receptor α, as confirmed by luciferase reporter assays and molecular docking. These results highlight the link between hepatic Rald deficiency, glucose dyshomeostasis, and the progression of T2D, whilst also suggesting RALDH1 as a potential therapeutic target for T2D.

Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture on fatigue improvement and gut microbiota in mice with cancer-related fatigue(CRF),and explore its possible mechanism of action.Methods The mice model of CRF of breast cancer after chemotherapy was established by tumor bearing and chemotherapy.After acupuncture intervention,fatigue was evaluated by general condition,forced swimming and open field experiment.Then 16S rDNA sequencing was used to analyze the structural abundance of gut microbiota in mice.Results Acupuncture could significantly improve the fatigue degree and general condition of the mice model of CRF of breast cancer after chemotherapy.At the same time,acupuncture could adjust the abundance of gut microbiota structure,up-regulate the abundance levels of Lactobacillus,Bacteroides,firmicutes,actinobacteria,and down-regulate the abundance levels of Proteobacteria and Staphylococcus.There were also differences in the abundance of flora structure among the groups,but the abundance of beneficial bacteria was relatively high in the acupuncture group,and the abundance of pathogenic bacteria was relatively high in the other two groups.Conclusion Acupuncture may play a role in the treatment of CRF by regulating the abundance of gut microbiota structure,increasing intestinal beneficial bacteria,inhibiting pathogenic bacteria,improving body immunity,and alleviating adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Pulmonary blast injury has become the main type of trauma in modern warfare, characterized by externally mild injuries but internally severe injuries, rapid disease progression, and a high rate of early death. The injury is complicated in clinical practice, often with multiple and compound injuries. Currently, there is a lack of effective protective materials, accurate injury detection instrument and portable monitoring and transportation equipment, standardized clinical treatment guidelines in various medical centers, and evidence-based guidelines at home and abroad, resulting in a high mortality in clinlcal practice. Therefore, the Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized military and civilian experts in related fields such as thoracic surgery and traumatic surgery to jointly develop the Clinical treatment guideline for pulmonary blast injury ( version 2023) by combining evidence for effectiveness and clinical first-line treatment experience. This guideline provided 16 recommended opinions surrounding definition, characteristics, pre-hospital diagnosis and treatment, and in-hospital treatment of pulmonary blast injury, hoping to provide a basis for the clinical treatment in hospitals at different levels.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.
