ObjectiveTo observe the mechanism of Jiawei Guizhi Fuling decoction (JGFD) in alleviating sciatic nerve injury in painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) rats by regulating mitophagy through the PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin signaling pathway. MethodThe PDPN model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). After modeling, the rats were randomly divided into JGFD high, medium, and low dose groups (JGFD-H, JGFD-M, JGFD-L; 39.6, 19.8, 9.9 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively), a positive drug group (lipoic acid capsules, LA; 50 mg·kg-1·d-1), and a model group (PDPN). A blank control group (CON) was established. Drug intervention was administered continuously for 8 weeks after modeling. Measurements included body weight and fasting blood glucose of PDPN rats at weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8, mechanical pain threshold and thermal pain threshold at weeks 0 and 8, and motor nerve conduction velocity at week 8. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the morphology of sciatic nerve tissue. The ultrastructure of mitochondria and autophagosomes was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Western blot was performed to detect the protein expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, p62, Beclin-1, and LC3 in sciatic nerve tissue. Additionally, real-time quantitative PCR (Real-time PCR) was performed to detect the mRNA expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, p62, Beclin-1, and LC3 in sciatic nerve tissue. ResultCompared with the CON group, the PDPN group showed a significant decrease in body weight at all time points, a significant increase in fasting blood glucose, significantly shortened mechanical pain and thermal pain thresholds, and significantly reduced motor nerve conduction velocity. The protein and mRNA expression of PINK1, Parkin, Beclin-1, and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3(LC3) in sciatic nerve tissue was significantly reduced, while p62 protein and mRNA expression was significantly increased (P<0.01). Pathological changes included edema of sciatic nerve fibers, segmental demyelination, loose and disordered arrangement of the myelin sheath layers, significant swelling of mitochondria, reduced electron density, disappearance of cristae, and absence of typical autophagosome and autolysosome structures. Compared with the PDPN group, each JGFD dose group showed a significant increase in body weight and a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose (P<0.05, P<0.01). The mechanical pain threshold and thermal pain threshold were significantly prolonged, and motor nerve conduction velocity was significantly increased across all JGFD and LA groups. The expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, Beclin-1, and LC3 proteins and mRNA in sciatic nerve tissue were significantly increased, while p62 protein and mRNA expression levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Pathological damage to the sciatic nerve was alleviated to varying degrees, with a relatively intact myelin sheath morphology and intact or slightly edematous outer mitochondrial membrane. Autophagolysosome structures were observed in the JGFD-M and JGFD-H groups. Compared with the LA group, the JGFD-H group showed a significant increase in body weight, a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose, a significant increase in motor nerve conduction velocity, a significant increase in PINK1 protein expression and PINK1, Parkin, and Beclin-1 mRNA expression in sciatic nerve tissue, and a significant decrease in p62 mRNA expression (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionJGFD may alleviate sciatic nerve injury in PDPN rats by activating mitophagy through the regulation of the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the application of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) in low-energy X-ray intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), analyze its potential risks in IORT, and preliminarily explore the feasibility of FMEA in optimizing IORT management and reducing the occurrence of potential risks.Methods:An FMEA working group was established by the IORT team (1 radiologist, 1 radiology physicist, 2 surgeons, and 2 nurses) to apply the FMEA methodology to conduct a systematic risk assessment. The process modules were established, the potential failure modes and causes for each module were analyzed, the severity (SR), frequency of occurrence (OR) and likelihood of detection (DR) of failure modes were scored and the risk priority number (RPN) was calculated: RPN= SR × OR × DR. The possible errors and potential clinical impact of each part of the radiotherapy process were prospectively analyzed and understood, the causes and current measures were analyzed for each failure mode and preventive measures were proposed and risk management measures were taken accordingly.Results:The IORT process was divided into 8 modules with 14 failure modes. The highest OR value was unsatisfactory target area confirmation (7 points), the highest SR value was equipment failure to discharge the beam (10 points), the highest DR value was wrong key entry after dose calculation (7 points), the highest RPN values were unsatisfactory target area confirmation (210 points) and ineffective protection of endangered organs (180 points). Weaknesses were corrected according to priorities, workflows were optimized and more effective management methods were developed.Conclusion:FMEA is an effective method of IORT management and contributes to reducing the occurrence of potential risks.

Objective To compare the coding sequences (CDS) of Yersinia pestis D106004 strain from Yulong County in Yunnan Province and Z176003 strain from Qing-Tibet Plateau in order to find the differences between their genomes and the genetic characteristics. Methods The CDS of Yersinia pestis D106004 strain and Z176003 strain were searched and compared by BLAST. Twenty-two differential CDS were selected to design 22 pairs of primers. PCR amplification was carried out in 119 representative plague strains from different isolation sources (natural foci of Himalayan marmot plague in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, natural foci of Apodemus chevrieri and Eothenomys miletus plague in Yunnan), time span of about 50 years, and distribution in six ecological types including Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan, and PCR products were sequenced and verified. The strains were all from the State Key Laboratory for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control, National Institute for Infectious Disease Control and Prevention, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Results In 119 representative plague strains of 6 ecological types, the cumulative sequence length of 22 differential CDS PCR amplification products was 2.13 × 106 bp. Among the 119 representative plague strains in the foci of Yulong D106004 strain and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Z176003 strain, 22 differential CDS had high homology, there was no difference in 78.2% (2047/2618) sequences of differential CDS, and 21.8% (571/2618) sequences had three types of gene mutations ( deletion , missense and frameshift mutations). The characteristics of the differences were stable in the 6 ecological plague strains of the foci, and they were divided into 6 geographical distributions. Conclusion Yulong D106004 strain and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Z176003 strain have high homology, close genetic relationship, and little difference in genome, but the genetic characteristics of different ecotype strains are stable.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 12 (PTPN12) in regulating cardiac HERG channel currents.
METHODSThe plasmids pcDNA3.1-PTPN12-RFP and herg mutant constructed by PCR technique were transfected into HEK293 cells via Lipofectamine 2000, and the cells stably expressing PTPN12 selected with G418 were identified by Western blotting with anti-PTPN12 antibody. HERG channel current in cells expressing HERG alone (HEK293/HERG cells), cells overexpressing PTPN12 (HEK293/HERG cells transfected with pCDNA3.1-PTPN12-RFP), PAO-treated cells (PTPN12/HERG cells treated with PAO), and herg mutant cells (HEK293/HERGY327A-Y700A-Y845A cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-PTPN12-RFP) were recorded by patch-clamp technique.
RESULTSThe plasmids pcDNA3.1-PTPN12-RFP and herg mutant were successfully constructed, and the stable expressing cell lines were established. Red fluorescence was obversed in HEK293/HERG cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-PTPN12-RFP, and the protein expression of PTPN12 was detected. Overexpression of PTPN12 significantly decreased HERG current density in HEK293/HERG cells, and this change was significantly weakened in the inhibitor group and herg mutant group.
CONCLUSIONPTPN12 negatively regulates cardiac HERG channel cerrent possibly by decreasing the phosphorylation level of HERG tyrosine residues. This finding provides further insight into the regulatory mechanism of HERG channel and the pathogenesis of long QT syndrome.
