ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of Bukan Yilidan on perimenopausal psycho-cardiac disease by mitochondrial autophagy mediated by dynamin-related protein 1(Drp1)/phosphatase and tensin homolog(PTEN) induced putative kinase 1(PINK1)/Parkin pathway. MethodsSixty rats were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, western medicine group(isosorbide mononitrate 7.2 mg·kg-1+sertraline hydrochloride tablets 18 mg·kg-1), Bukan Yilidan low, medium and high dose groups(2.59, 5.18, 10.35 g·kg-1), with 10 rats in each group. Except for the blank group, the rat model of perimenopausal psycho-cardiac disease was prepared by ovariectomy(OVX) combined with high-fat feeding, chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS) and subcutaneous multi-point injection of isoproterenol hydrochloride. After successful modeling, the general state and tongue image of rats were observed. The depression status of rats in vivo was evaluated by open field test, sucrose preference test, forced swimming immobility time and grip strength value, and the cardiac function of rats was evaluated by electrocardiogram and echocardiography. The levels of serum norepinephrine(NE), dopamine(DA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and biochemical detection was used to assess myocardial injury by measuring serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TC), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) and creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB). Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) and Nissl staining were used to observe the pathological status of hippocampus and myocardial tissue in rats, the status of mitophagosomes in hippocampus and myocardium was observed by transmission electron microscope(TEM), and Western blot was used to detect the contents of Drp1, mitochondrial fusion protein 2(Mfn2), optic atrophy protein 1(OPA1), PINK1, Parkin, p62 and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3B(LC3B) in hippocampus and myocardium. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the food intake and water intake of rats in the model group decreased, the hair was dark yellow, the gloss and smoothness decreased, the spirit was depressed, the tongue was light purple or dark purple, accompanied by petechiae or ecchymosis, the sublingual collaterals were purple and black, and the tongue coating was white and smooth. The indexes of open field test, grip strength and sucrose preference of rats decreased significantly, and the immobility time of forced swimming increased significantly(P<0.01). Electrocardiogram and echocardiography showed that ST segment was significantly depressed, and left ventricular fractional shortening(LVFS) and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) were significantly decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01). Pathological observation showed that the number of hippocampal neurons and myocardial cells decreased, and the structural damage was obvious. The levels of serum TC, TG, LDL-C, CK-MB, LDH, AST and ALT increased, while the levels of HDL-C, 5-HT, DA and NE decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01). TEM showed obvious mitochondrial damage in hippocampus and myocardial tissue. The protein expressions of Drp1, PINK1, Parkin and p62 in hippocampus and myocardium were increased, while the protein expressions of OPA1, Mfn2 and LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ were decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the mental state, body curling up, fear of cold and other symptoms of rats in each administration group were improved, and the degree of pale purple or dark purple tongue was reduced. The scores of open field test, grip strength, sucrose preference, LVFS and LVEF were increased, and the immobility time of forced swimming was shortened(P<0.05, P<0.01). The ST segment of electrocardiogram had a significant recovery(P<0.01), pathological observation showed that the damage of nerve cells and myocardial tissue was improved. The levels of serum TC, TG, LDL-C, CK-MB, LDH, AST and ALT decreased, while the levels of HDL-C, 5-HT, DA and NE increased(P<0.05, P<0.01). TEM showed that mitochondrial damage was reduced in hippocampal neurons and cardiomyocytes with visible mitochondrial autophagosomes. The protein expressions of Drp1, PINK1, Parkin and p62 in hippocampus and myocardium were decreased, while the protein expressions of OPA1, Mfn2 and LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ were increased(P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionBukan Yilidan can alleviate depression, lipid metabolism disorder and myocardial ischemia injury in rats with perimenopausal psycho-cardiac disease, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting Drp1/PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway and enhancing mitochondrial autophagy.

The human oral microbiome harbors one of the most diverse microbial communities in the human body, playing critical roles in oral and systemic health. Recent technological innovations are propelling the characterization and manipulation of oral microbiota. High-throughput sequencing enables comprehensive taxonomic and functional profiling of oral microbiomes. New long-read platforms improve genome assembly from complex samples. Single-cell genomics provides insights into uncultured taxa. Advanced imaging modalities including fluorescence, mass spectrometry, and Raman spectroscopy have enabled the visualization of the spatial organization and interactions of oral microbes with increasing resolution. Fluorescence techniques link phylogenetic identity with localization. Mass spectrometry imaging reveals metabolic niches and activities while Raman spectroscopy generates rapid biomolecular fingerprints for classification. Culturomics facilitates the isolation and cultivation of novel fastidious oral taxa using high-throughput approaches. Ongoing integration of these technologies holds the promise of transforming our understanding of oral microbiome assembly, gene expression, metabolites, microenvironments, virulence mechanisms, and microbe-host interfaces in the context of health and disease. However, significant knowledge gaps persist regarding community origins, developmental trajectories, homeostasis versus dysbiosis triggers, functional biomarkers, and strategies to deliberately reshape the oral microbiome for therapeutic benefit. The convergence of sequencing, imaging, cultureomics, synthetic systems, and biomimetic models will provide unprecedented insights into the oral microbiome and offer opportunities to predict, prevent, diagnose, and treat associated oral diseases.

Objective:To explore the correlation between high cholinergic pathway signaling and cognitive function in patients with Parkinson disease(PD) accompanied with sleep disorder.Methods:PD patients admitted from 2017 to 2022 were divided into PD with sleep disorder group (PD-SD group) ( n=56) and PD without sleep disorder group (PD-NSD group) ( n=41) according to the Parkinson's disease sleep scale (PDSS) score. All participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging examination.All patients were evaluated by the PDSS, Hoehn-Yahr (H-Y), Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA), and cholinergic pathways hyper intensities scale (CHIPS). The difference of cognitive function between the two groups and the correlation between CHIPS and cognitive function were analyzed.Independent sample t-test, Spearman correlation analysis, and binary Logistic regression analysis were performed on the data by SPSS 26.0 statistical software. Results:(1)The MoCA score of the PD-SD group (22.00 (5.00)) was lower than that of the PD-NSD group (26.00 (5.00)) ( Z=-3.830, P<0.05). The total and all aspects scores of CHIPS in PD-SD group were higher than those in PD-NSD group(the total score of the low external capsule: 12.00(8.00), 0(8.00), the total score of the high external capsule: 12.00(2.00), 6.00(9.00), the total score of the radial crown: 8.00(0), 4.00(4.00), the total score of the centrum semiovale: 3.00(4.00), 0(2.00), the total score of the right side: 16.00(9.00), 5.00(10.00), the total score of the left side: 17.00(6.00), 7.00(9.00), the total score of CHIPS: 32.00(14.00), 14.00(20.00))( Z=-5.081, -5.873, -4.933, -3.211, -5.562, -6.232, -5.995, all P<0.05). (2)The correlation analysis between the score of CHIPS and cognitive function in the PD-SD group showed that, the total score of the low external capsule ( r=-0.286), the total score of the centrum semiovale ( r=-0.307), the total score of the right side ( r=-0.376), the total score of the left side ( r=-0.284) and the total score of CHIPS ( r=-0.349) were negatively correlated with MoCA(all P<0.05). (3)Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that white matter lesions in centrum semiovale, low inner capsule, right and left leukodystrophy were not influence factors for cognitive impairment (all P>0.05). Conclusion:PD patients with sleep disorders have lower cognitive function scores, higher CHIPS scores, and significant changes in white matter lesions compared to those without sleep disorders. In PD patients with sleep disorders, the higher the CHIPS score, the lower the cognitive function score, and the more significant the rate of cognitive impairment occurrence and development.
