Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human anti-severe acute respiratory syn-drome coronavirus 2(anti-SARS-CoV-2)monoclonal antibody injection(F61 injection)in the treatment of patients with coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)combined with renal damage.Methods Patients with COVID-19 and renal damage who visited the PLA General Hospital from January to February 2023 were selected.Subjects were randomly divided into two groups.Control group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy,while trial group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy combined with F61 injection.A 15-day follow-up was conducted after drug administration.Clinical symptoms,laboratory tests,electrocardiogram,and chest CT of pa-tients were performed to analyze the efficacy and safety of F61 injection.Results Twelve subjects(7 in trial group and 5 in control group)were included in study.Neither group had any clinical progression or death cases.The ave-rage time for negative conversion of nucleic acid of SARS-CoV-2 in control group and trial group were 3.2 days and 1.57 days(P=0.046),respectively.The scores of COVID-19 related target symptom in the trial group on the 3rd and 5th day after medication were both lower than those of the control group(both P＜0.05).According to the clinical staging and World Health Organization 10-point graded disease progression scale,both groups of subjects improved but didn't show statistical differences(P＞0.05).For safety,trial group didn't present any infusion-re-lated adverse event.Subjects in both groups demonstrated varying degrees of elevated blood glucose,elevated urine glucose,elevated urobilinogen,positive urine casts,and cardiac arrhythmia,but the differences were not statistica-lly significant(all P＞0.05).Conclusion F61 injection has initially demonstrated safety and clinical benefit in trea-ting patients with COVID-19 combined with renal damage.As the domestically produced drug,it has good clinical accessibility and may provide more options for clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of 8-week aerobic exercise on the improvement of core behaviors of male and female autistic mice induced by valproic acid (VPA). MethodsExperimental mice were randomly divided into the control group (CTL), VPA-induced autism group (VPA) and VPA+aerobic exercise group (VEX), with 10 mice in each group. The pregnant mice were injected with VPA intraperitoneally at E12.5, and their offspring were used as autistic mice. Pups were weaned 28 d after birth and began an 8-week aerobic exercise intervention. The day after exercise, mice were tested in behavioral experiments to detect exploratory behavior, social skills, repetitive stereotypic behavior, cognitive ability and mood. The mice were tested for social skills, repetitive stereotyped behaviors, cognitive and learning memory abilities, exploratory behaviors, and emotions by behavioral assays on the following day after the exercise. ResultsBoth male and female mice in the CTL group showed a significant decrease in the total distance and percentage of time spent in the interaction zone in the 4th socialization compared to the 1st socialization (P<0.01); the total distance and percentage of time spent in the interaction zone in the 5th socialization was significantly increased compared to the 4th socialization (P<0.01); in VPA group, both male and female mice showed no significant change in the total distance and percentage of time spent in the interaction zone in the 4th and 5th socialization; in the VEX group, the total distance and percentage of time spent in the interaction zone by male mice in the 4th socialization was significantly decreased compared to the 1st socialization (P<0.01, P<0.05); and in the VEX group the total distance and percentage of time spent in the social interaction zone by both male and female mice in the 5th socialization was significantly increased compared to the 4th socialization (P<0.01, P<0.05). The results of the first phase of three-box socialization experiment showed that male and female mice in the CTL group spent more time socializing with their social partners than in contact with the empty cages (P<0.01); there was no difference in the time spent by male and female mice in the VPA group in socializing with their social partners and the empty cages; and male and female mice in the VEX group spent a longer time socializing with their social partners(P<0.01). The results of the second phase of three-box test showed that male and female mice in the CTL group showed a significant tendency to socialize with new social partners (P<0.01), whereas no significant changes were observed in the mice of VPA group; aerobic exercise significantly ameliorated this deficit in male and female mice with autism. Compared with the CTL group, VPA-induced significant decreases were observed in the total distance freely moved in the central area of the open field, the time and percentage of time spent in the open arm of cross maze, and the distance and time spent in the white box in both male and female autistic mice (P<0.01); a significant increase in the number of bead burials and time spent in self-grooming (P<0.01); a significant decrease in the cognitive index (P<0.01); a significantly longer latency to find the platform, and significantly decreased the percentage of time spent in the target quadrant and the number of times they traversed the platform (P<0.01). Compared with the VPA group, after 8 weeks of aerobic intervention, male and female mice in the VEX group showed a significant increase in total distance, open-arm dwell time, and percentage of free movement in the central area of the empty field (P<0. 05), and a trend toward a decrease in the dwell time of females in the white box was not significant, the number of beads burying and the time of self-combing were significantly lower(P<0.01, P<0.05); and a significant increase in cognitive index (P<0.05), a significantly shorter time to find the platform, and significantly increased percentage of time spent in the target quadrant and the number of times they traversed the platform (P<0.01), showing excellent learning memory. ConclusionAutistic mice severely suffer from social and cognitive impairments, repetitive stereotyped behaviors, decreased activity level, and the exhibition of anxiety. 8 weeks of aerobic exercise can improve the social and cognitive abilities, alleviate the stereotyped repetitive behaviors, increase the activity level, and positively regulate the anxiety in autistic mice. It is hypothesized that aerobic exercise has an important role in motor rehabilitation of autism, in order to provide a theoretical basis for clinical research.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of coal workers' pneumoconiosis, reveal the molecular mechanism of pyroptosis in peripheral blood of coal workers' pneumoconiosis patients, and provide new strategies and potential diagnostic biomarkers for the treatment of the disease.Methods:From January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022, workers with suspected occupational diseases who were diagnosed with coal workers' pneumoconiosis in the Third People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were included in the study, including 77 patients with coal workers' pneumoconiosis stage Ⅰ, 10 patients with stage Ⅱ, 6 patients with stage Ⅲ, and 49 workers with dust-free lung disease as the control group. General information of the subjects was collected, blood samples were collected for routine blood and blood biochemical results, and plasma levels of interleukin (IL) -1β and IL-18 were measured. Combined with the results of clinical examination, multi-factor ordered logistic regression analysis was carried out to evaluate the influencing factors of coal workers' pneumoconiosis. At the same time, the expression of pyroptosis related proteins in blood cells was detected to reveal the molecular mechanism of coal workers' pneumoconiosis.Results:All 142 subjects were male, with an average age of (51.65±6.31) years old and an average working age of (15.94±9.38) years. There were significant differences in smoking age ( F=4.95, P=0.003) and lunch break distribution ( H=8.84, P=0.031) among all groups. The hemoglobin content of stage Ⅰ patients was higher than that of stage Ⅱ patients, and the neutrophil percentage of stage Ⅲ patients was higher than that of the other 3 groups ( P<0.05). The levels of total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin in stage Ⅰ patients were higher than those in control group, while the erythrocyte sedimentation rate in stage Ⅱ patients was higher than that in the other 3 groups ( P<0.05). The levels of IL-18 and IL-1β in stage Ⅲ of coal workers' pneumoconiosis were higher than those in the other 3 groups ( P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that smoking age ( OR=1.03, 95% CI: 1.00-1.06) and IL-1β level ( OR=4.61, 95% CI: 1.59-13.32) were independent risk factors for coal workers' pneumoconiosis ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the expression levels of nucleotide-binding of oligomeric domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), Caspase-1, GSDMD, Caspase-4 and other proteins in stage Ⅲ of coal workers' pneumoconiosis were significantly increased ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Smoking age is a risk factor for coal workers' pneumoconiosis, IL-1β may be a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of coal workers' pneumoconiosis, and pyroptosis may play a role in the development of peripheral inflammation of coal workers' pneumoconiosis.

Objective To understand the effect of astaxanthin on intestinal injury of septic mice,and explore the mechanism.Methods Septic mice model was constructed by cecum ligation and puncture(CLP).Sixty-two male Balb/c mice were randomly divided into 4 groups by random number method:Sham surgery+solvent control group(Sham+Vehi group,n=11),Sham surgery+astaxanthin group(Sham+Asta group,n=11),sepsis model+sol-vent control group(CLP+Vehi group,n=20),and sepsis model+astaxanthin group(CLP+Asta group,n=20).In astaxanthin-containing groups,astaxanthin was dissolved in edible olive oil(40 mg/mL),and 100 mg/(kg·d)was gavaged for 7 days before surgery.In solvent-containing groups,the solvent was treated with an equal amount of olive oil by gavage(2.5 mL/kg).Five mice from the Sham groups and 12 mice from the CLP groups were ran-domly selected to observe their 7-day survival after surgery.The remaining mice were given fluorescent isothiocya-nate dextran(FD-40)gavage at 18 hours after surgery.Changes in mice intestinal tissue morphology,intestinal functional injury indicators,intestinal tissue oxidative stress indicators,inflammatory factors expression,and ex-pression of key protein of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ(PPARγ)/nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB)were detected 24 hours after surgery.Results There were no statistical differences in mice survival rate,intestinal injury indicators,intestinal inflammatory factor levels,oxidative stress indicators,and intestinal tissue injury scores between Sham+Vehi and Sham+Asta groups(all P＞0.05).Compared with the Sham+Vehi group,the survival rate of mice in the CLP+Vehi group decreased significantly;serum diamine oxidase(DAO)activities,levels of in-testinal fatty acid binding protein(I-FABP),D-lactate,and FD-40 increased significantly;levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6)and malondialdehyde(MDA)in intestinal tissue in-creased significantly;superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity decreased;intestinal morphological injury score was higher;the expression of PPARγ in intestinal tissue increased,and the ratios of both p-IκBα/IκBα and p-p65/p65 in-creased(all P＜0.05).Compared with the CLP+Vehi group,the survival rate of mice in the CLP+Asta group im-proved;serum DAO activities,levels of I-FABP,D-lactate and FD-40 all decreased significantly;levels of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6 and MDA in intestinal tissue decreased significantly;SOD activity increased;intestinal morphological injury score decreased;PPARγ expression in intestinal tissue increased,and the ratios of both p-IκBα/IκBα and p-p65/p65 decreased(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Astaxanthin decreases intestinal injury in CLP-induced septic mice,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of PPARγ/NF-κB signaling pathway,as well as the inhibi-tion of inflammatory response and oxidative stress.

Objective To investigate the microbiome composition of deep invasive endometriosis lesions,offering novel insights into its pathogenesis,diagnosis,and treatment strategies.Methods From May 2021 to May 2022,we collected samples of normal endometrium(normal group,n=10),endometrium from patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis(DIE endometrium group,n=14),and lesions from these patients(DIE lesion group,n=10)for 16s rRNA sequencing analysis.We employed the bacterial community diversity algorithm(alpha diversity and beta diversity),principal coordinate analysis(PCoA)distance matrix algorithms(Bray-Curtis and Unifrac matrices),as well as the biological identification algorithm(LeFSe)to investigate microbiome differences between groups and identify differentially abundant bacteria and enriched KEGG functions.Results The diversity of the three groups did not show any significant difference,while the β diversity exhibited a statistically significant distinc-tion(P=0.005 5).The focus group had a relatively low abundance of Firmicutes at the phylum level and a relatively increased abundance of Fusobacteria.At the genus level,there was an increased relative abundance of Enterococcus and Prevotella.LEFse analysis suggested that Proteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria were the main dominant in the lesion group.Notably,Gamma proteobacteria emerged as a key differential species among the three groups'microbial flora with statistical significance(P=0.021 2).Conclusion Compared to the normal group and DIE group,there was a significant increase in the abundance of Fusobacteria,Proteobacteria,Gammaproteobacteria,Enterococcus,and Prevotella.These findings offer novel therapeutic targets for the prevention and intervention of deep infiltrating endometriosis.

Chronic kidney disease（CKD）has a significant impact on global public health and is one of the important factors leading to the rise of incidence rate and mortality of non communicable diseases.Intestinal microecology is involved in many pathophysiological activities，such as immunity and nutrient absorption.With proposal of the concept of intestine-kidney axis in 2002，researchers found that the decline of glomerular filtration rate led to accumulation of uremic toxins in intestine，destroyed the intestinal mucosal barrier，led to the translocation of toxins，activated the systemic oxidative stress response，further promoted the progress of CKD.This article reviewed the function of gut microbiota，intestine-gut kidney axis，and the application of microbial preparations in CKD.
