OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of dapagliflozin on contrast-induced acute kidney injury （CIAKI） and prognosis in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 （T2DM） and acute coronary syndrome （ACS） who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI）. METHODS Retrospective selection of data on T2DM patients with ACS who underwent PCI treatment in the Cardiology Department of Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 1st 2021 to December 31st 2022. The patients were divided into dapagliflozin group （96 cases） and control group （148 cases） based on whether they received dapagliflozin or not. Renal function indicators were measured for all enrolled patients before PCI and at 48 h and 1 week after PCI， including blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， serum creatinine （Scr）， estimated glomerular filtration rate （eGFR）， cystatin-C （Cys-C）， kidney injury molecule-1 （KIM-1） and β2-microglobulin （β2-MG）. All patients were followed up for at least 1 year. The incidence of CIAKI and major adverse cardiac event （MACE） during follow-up were recorded for both groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of dapagliflozin on the occurrence of CIAKI， while the Log-rank test was applied to compare the incidence of MACE between the two groups. Cox regression was employed to analyze the impact of dapagliflozin on prognosis. RESULTS At 48 h and 1 week after PCI， serum levels of Cys-C， KIM-1 and β2-MG were significantly lower in the dapagliflozin group compared to the control group （P＜0.05）. The incidence of CIAKI was lower in the dapagliflozin group compared to the control group （6.25% vs. 14.86%， P＝0.042）. Logistic regression analysis revealed that dapagliflozin was an independent protective factor against CIAKI （OR＝0.280， 95%CI 0.101-0.780，P＝0.015）. During the follow-up period， the incidence of MACE was lower in the dapagliflozin group compared to the control group （7.29% vs. 17.57%， P＝0.049）. Cox regression analysis indicated that dapagliflozin reduced the occurrence of MACE after PCI （HR＝0.374， 95%CI 0.161-0.866， P＝0.022）. CONCLUSIONS With adequate hydration， the use of dapagliflozin does not increase the risk of CIAKI following PCI in T2DM patients with ACS.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of Huanglian Jiedutang （HLJDT） in treating mice with atherosclerosis （AS） by improving ferroptosis. MethodsA total of 10 SPF C57BL/6J mice were selected as a normal group， and 50 ApoE^-/- mice were randomly divided into five groups： model group， low-dose group of HLJDT， medium-dose group of HLJDT， high-dose group of HLJDT， and atorvastatin （ATV） group. ApoE^-/- mice were fed a high-fat diet for eight weeks to establish the AS model， and at the 9th week， they were given normal saline， low， medium， and high doses of HLJDT （3.9， 7.8， 15.6 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， and atorvastatin calcium tablets （0.01 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， respectively， for a total of eight weeks. The formation of aortic plaque in mice was observed by gross oil red O staining and Masson staining. The levels of total cholesterol （TC）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， triglyceride （TG）， and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） in blood fat were measured by the automatic biochemical analyzer， and the mitochondrial structure of the aorta was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The content of serum superoxide dismutase （SOD） in serum was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The content of reduced glutathione （GSH） in serum was detected by the microplate method， and that of malondialdehyde （MDA） in serum was detected by the TBA method. The protein expression of nuclear factor E₂-associated factor 2 （Nrf2）/glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4） signaling pathway was detected by Western blot. ResultsCompared with those of the normal group， the contents of TC， LDL-C， TG， HDL-C， and MDA in the serum and the aortic vascular plaque deposition of the model group were significantly increased （P<0.01）， while the expression levels of SOD and GSH in serum， as well as Nrf2， solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）， and GPX4 in aorta were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Mice in the model group appeared mitochondrial fragmentation and vacuolation in the aorta， volume atrophy， mitochondrial crista reduction， or a loose and disorganized form. Compared with those in the model group， the aortic vascular plaque deposition was significantly decreased in the low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups of HLJDT and ATV group， and the contents of serum TC， LDL-C， TG， and MDA in serum were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The contents of serum SOD and GSH and the expression levels of Nrf2， SLC7A11， and GPX4 in the aorta were increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the symptoms of aortic mitochondrial vacuolation were alleviated. The number of cristae was increased， and they were ordered neatly. ConclusionHLJDT can reduce aortic vascular plaque deposition， decrease blood lipid and MDA expression， increase SOD and GSH expression， and ameliorate the pathological changes of ferroptosis， the mechanism of which is related to the Nrf2/GPX4 signaling pathway.

Based on the strategy of metabolomics combined with bioinformatics, this study analyzed the potential allergens and mechanism of pseudo-allergic reactions (PARs) induced by the combined use of Reduning injection and penicillin G injection. All animal experiments and welfare are in accordance with the requirements of the First Affiliated Experimental Animal Ethics and Animal Welfare Committee of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (approval number: YFYDW2020002). Based on UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology combined with UNIFI software, a total of 21 compounds were identified in Reduning and penicillin G mixed injection. Based on molecular docking technology, 10 potential allergens with strong binding activity to MrgprX2 agonist sites were further screened. Metabolomics analysis using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology revealed that 34 differential metabolites such as arachidonic acid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes were endogenous differential metabolites of PARs caused by combined use of Reduning injection and penicillin G injection. Through the analysis of the "potential allergen-target-endogenous differential metabolite" interaction network, the chlorogenic acids (such as chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, and isochlorogenic acid A) and β-lactam allergens in the combination of the two may be mainly regulated by PLD1, PLA2G12A and CYP1A1. The three upstream signal target proteins mainly activate the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway, promote the degranulation of mast cells, release downstream endogenous inflammatory mediators, and induce PARs.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia(AML)patients with PTPN11 gene mutation.Methods Total 115 adult AML patients who underwent initial diagnosis,treatment,and second-generation sequencing(NGS)detecting at hospital were recruited in this study.Clinical da-ta included disease characteristics,treatment efficacy,long-term prognosis,immune cell subpopulations,and leu-kemia stem cells were collected to analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of AML patients with PTPN11 gene mutation.Results PTPN11 gene mutation rate in newly diagnosed adult AML was 9.57％,and the mutation site mainly occurred in exon 3 region with all mutation type being point mutation.Compared with PTPN11 wild-type group,PTPN11 gene mutation group had a higher early mortality rate(18.18％vs 4.00％,P=0.048),a lower complete response rate(33.33％vs 67.71％,P=0.039),a higher recurrence rate(83.33％vs 42.31％,P=0.043),a shorter median overall survival time(9 months vs 20 months,P=0.026),a lower proportion of ef-fector T cells[(1.39±0.12)％vs(3.56±0.46)％,P=0.038],and a higher proportion of leukemia stem cells[(13.82±3.66)％vs(3.87±1.40)％,P=0.021].Conclusion PTPN11 gene mutation is a poor prognostic marker for AML.Those patients have a high early mortality rate,low complete remission rate,high recurrence rate,short median overall survival time,a low proportion of effector T cells,and a high proportion of leukemia stem cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of Hedyotis diffusa extract(HDE)on the proliferation of liver cancer cells and its relationship with sugar metabolism reprogramming and oxidative phosphorylation and analyze its possible mechanisms.Methods CCK-8 and EDU experiments were used to determine the effect of different concentrations(20,40,80 mg/mL)of HDE on the growth of liver cancer cell line SNU-368.Lactate dehydrogenase activity,glucose uptake,lactate production,extracellular pH,mitochondrial respiratory chain complex activity,and cellular oxygen consumption were measured to analyze the effect of HDE on aerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation in liver cancer cells.qRT-PCR experiments were used to detect the mRNA expressions of GLUT1,GLUT4,HK2,GPI,PFKL,ALDOA and HIF-1α in SNU-368 cells of different groups.Western blotting experiments were used to detect the protein expression of HIF-1α.A stable cell line overexpressing HIF-1αwas constructed by lentivirus transfection of liver cancer cells SNU-368 and then intervened with HDE;the expression of HIF-1α mRNA and protein was detected with qRT-PCR and Western blotting.Results CCK-8 results showed that the HDE exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on the proliferation of liver cancer cells(all P＜0.05).Results from glucose metabolism-related tests indicated that the HDE could inhibit glucose uptake and lactate production,decrease lactate dehydrogenase activity,increase extracellular pH value,enhance cellular oxygen consumption,and elevate activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ(all P＜0.05).qRT-PCR results revealed that the HDE suppressed the mRNA expressions of GLUT1,HK2,GPI,and ALDOA(all P＜0.05).qRT-PCR and Western blotting experiments showed that compared to the control group,the expression of HIF-1α mRNA and protein in the HDE group was significantly reduced.However,when HIF-1α was overexpressed and HDE was added in the HIF-1α-LV group,the expression of HIF-1α mRNA and protein increased again compared to the HDE group.Conclusion HDE inhibits glycolysis and promotes oxidative phosphorylation to inhibit the proliferation of liver cancer cells,and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of HIF-1α expression.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors for intestinal colonization and secondary infection of car-bapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)in neonates,and provide a basis for formulating prevention and control strategies for CRKP infection.Methods Neonates who were admitted to the neonatal ward of a hospital from January 2021 to October 2022 were selected as the study subjects,and the first screening of CRKP was con-ducted within 48 hours after admission.In addition,active anal swab screening for carbapenem-resistant Ente-robacterales(CRE)was performed weekly during hospitalization,and the infection status of CRKP strains was mo-nitored.Clinical data of neonates in the colonization group,non-colonization group,and infection group were ana-lyzed.Intestinal colonized strains and the non-repetitive CRKP strains isolated from clinical specimens of neonates with secondary infection after colonization were performed carbapenemase gene detection,multilocus sequence ty-ping(MLST)and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE)analysis.Results A total of 1 438 neonates were active-ly screened for CRE,174 were CRKP positive,CRKP colonization rate was 12.1％.Among 174 neonates,35 were with secondary infection,with the incidence of 20.1％.The independent risk factors for neonatal CRKP intestinal colonization were cesarean section(OR=2.050,95％CI:1.200-3.504,P=0.009),use of cephalosporins(OR=1.889,95％CI:1.086-3.288,P=0.024),nasogastric tube feeding(OR=2.317,95％CI:1.155-4.647,P=0.018).Protective factors were breast-feeding(OR=0.506,95％CI:0.284-0.901,P=0.021),oral probiotics(OR=0.307,95％CI:0.147-0.643,P=0.002),and enema(OR=0.334,95％CI:0.171-0.656,P=0.001).Independent risk factors for secondary infection after intestinal colonization of neonatal CRKP were carbapenem anti-biotic use(OR=19.869,95％CI:1.778-222.029,P=0.015)and prolonged hospital stay(OR=1.118,95％CI:1.082-1.157,P＜0.001).The detection results of drug resistance genes showed that carbapenemase-producing genes of CRKP strains were all blaKPC-2,all belonged to type ST11.Homologous analysis showed that intestinal CRKP colonization was highly homologous with the secondary infection strains after colonization.Conclusion CRKP intestinal colonization during neonatal hospitalization may increase the risk of CRKP infection.Risk and pro-tective factors of neonatal intestinal colonization and secondary infections after colonization should be paid attention,and corresponding preventive and control measures should be taken,so as to reduce the occurrence and transmission CRKP healthcare-associated infection.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of brexpiprazole in treating acute schizophrenia.Methods Patients with schizophrenia were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.The treatment group was given brexpiprozole 2-4 mg·d-1 orally and the control group was given aripiprazole 10-20 mg·d-1orally,both were treated for 6 weeks.Clinical efficacy of the two groups,the response rate at endpoint,the changes from baseline to endpoint of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS),Clinical Global Impression-Improvement(CGI-S),Personal and Social Performance scale(PSP),PANSS Positive syndrome subscale,PANSS negative syndrome subscale were compared.The incidence of treatment-related adverse events in two groups were compared.Results There were 184 patients in treatment group and 186 patients in control group.After treatment,the response rates of treatment group and control group were 79.50％(140 cases/184 cases)and 82.40％(150 cases/186 cases),the scores of CGI-I of treatment group and control group were(2.00±1.20)and(1.90±1.01),with no significant difference(all P＞0.05).From baseline to Week 6,the mean change of PANSS total score wese(-30.70±16.96)points in treatment group and(-32.20±17.00)points in control group,with no significant difference(P＞0.05).The changes of CGI-S scores in treatment group and control group were(-2.00±1.27)and(-1.90±1.22)points,PSP scores were(18.80±14.77)and(19.20±14.55)points,PANSS positive syndrome scores were(-10.30±5.93)and(-10.80±5.81)points,PANSS negative syndrome scores were(-6.80±5.98)and(-7.30±5.15)points,with no significant difference(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of treatment-related adverse events between the two group(69.00％vs.64.50％,P＞0.05).Conclusion The non-inferiority of Brexpiprazole to aripiprazole was established,with comparable efficacy and acceptability.

Objective To study the mechanism of the amelioration of renal injury in immunoglobulin A nephropathy(IgAN)rats by multi-glycosides of Tripterygium wilfordii(GTW)based on the sphingosine kinase 1(Sphk1)/sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 2(S1PR2)signalling pathway.Methods An IgAN rat model was established by means of bovine serum albumin gavage+castor oil and carbon tetrachloride subcutaneous injection+lipopolysaccharide tail vein injection.The rats were randomly divided into the model,control and experimental groups,with 9 rats in each group,and 10 normal rats were taken as the blank group.In the control group,6.25 mg·kg-1·d-1 prednisone was given by gavage;in the experimental group,9.375 mg·kg-1·d-1GTW was given by gavage;and in the blank and model groups,0.5 mL·100 g-1·d-1 0.9％NaCl was given by gavage,and the drugs were administered to the rats once a day in each group.At the end of the 15th week,urine samples were collected and blood albumin(ALB),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),24 hour-urine protein quantification(24 h-UTP),and urine erythrocyte counts were determined in each group,and the expression levels of Sphk1/S1PR2 proteins in each group were detected by Western blotting.Results The renal pathological changes in the control and experimental groups were significantly reduced compared with those in the model group by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunofluorescence.The levels of ALB in the blank,model,control and experimental groups were(32.49±2.23),(22.98±0.51),(26.01±1.33)and(26.53±1.92)g·L-1;the levels of BUN were(6.11±1.71),(13.75±2.96),(6.71±1.35)and(4.77±0.99)mmol·L-1;the levels of 24 h-UTP were(5.72±1.96),(9.12±2.15),(5.78±2.05)and(4.75±1.50)mg·24 h-1;the urine erythrocyte counts were(9.73±2.40),(14.62±2.60),(9.90±1.59)and(9.46±2.94)cell·μL-1;the relative expression levels of Sphk1 protein were 0.85±0.02,1.47±0.02,1.06±0.02 and 1.09±0.02;the relative expression levels of S1PR2 protein were 0.27±0.02,0.88±0.01,0.43±0.02,and 0.42±0.02,respectively.The above indexes in the model group were statistically significant when compared with those of the control group and the experimental group(all P＜0.01).Conclusion GTW may reduce the proliferation of mesangial cells by inhibiting the Sphk1/S1PR2 signalling pathway,thus attenuating kidney injury in IgAN rats.

Objective:To analyze the surveillance data of population in rabies exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) clinics in Shandong province from 2019 to 2023, explore risk factors for exposure, and provide a basis for further standardizing PEP.Methods:Based on surveillance data from the rabies exposure treatment clinic vaccination information system, population, and spatial administrative division data in Shandong province from 2019 to 2023, descriptive epidemiological methods were applied to analyze using SPSS 18.0.Results:The number of individuals receiving post-exposure treatment at PEP clinics in Shandong province from 2019 to 2023 was over 1 million annually and showed an increasing trend year by year, with the highest number of visits occurring from May to August each year. The number of female patients is increasing year by year. The 15-year-old and younger age group accounted for 31.69%-36.86% of clinic visits. Grade Ⅲ exposures accounted for 53.40%, and limbs accounted for approximately 89.81% of exposed areas. Approximately 1.94% is multi site exposure. The main injuring animals were dogs, followed by cats, and the proportion of cats is increasing year by year. The proportion of doctor′s office visitors who self-treated wounds increased from 32.32% to 45.46%, while the proportion of outpatient wound treatment decreased from 76.07% to 66.24%. The whole course vaccination rate after initial exposure is 63.79%. The whole course vaccination rate for the 15-29-year-old age group was lower than that for other age groups. The usage rate of passive immune preparations among grade Ⅲ exposed individuals is 35.66%. From 2019 to 2023, 8 cases of rabies were reported, none of whom received standard post-exposure treatment.Conclusions:The epidemic characteristics and exposure risk of people exposed to suspected rabies animals in Shandong province have changed. It is necessary to pay attention to the female population, the population with low vaccination rate between 15 to 29 years of age, cat bitten people, and carry out continuous monitoring on the exposed population, and timely adjust the prevention and control strategies.

Objective:To analyze clinical features, short-term efficacy and side effects of salvage re-irradiation therapy for patients with locally recurrent esophageal cancer after definitive chemoradiotherapy, to investigate the prognostic factors of re-irradiation with precise radiotherapy techniques.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with locally recurrent esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after definitive chemoradiotherapy treated in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2008 to December 2016. The patients underwent re-irradiation therapy (re-RT) or re-irradiation therapy concurrent chemotherapy (re-CCRT). The main observation index was after-recurrence survival (ARS), which was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method for survival analysis. Univariate analysis was conducted by log-rank test, and multivariate analysis was performed by Cox regression model.Results:A total of 109 patients were included, with a median age of 66 years (43-89 years), and a median follow-up time of 120.8 months (79.0-176.5 months). The objective response rates (ORR) and dysphagia improvement rates (DIR) in all patients were 64.2% and 63.0%, respectively. The median ARS and 1-, 3-, 5-, 8-year survival rates in all patients were 7.8 months and 32.1%, 9.2%, 7.3% and 2.3%, respectively. The median ARS and 1-, 3-, 5-years survival rates were 10.8 months and 45.9%, 13.5%, 10.8% for patients with time to recurrence (TTR) ≥24 months, significantly longer than those of 5.7 months and 25.0%, 6.9%, 5.6% for patients with TTR<24 months ( χ2=7.99, P=0.005). The median ARS in groups with re-irradiation dose of ≤50 Gy,>50-54 Gy, and>54 Gy groups were 5.7, 10.0 and 8.1 months, respectively ( χ2=6.94, P=0.031). The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 30.4%, 5.1%, and 3.8% for re-RT versus 36.7%, 20.0%, and 16.7% for re-CCRT ( χ2=2.12, P=0.145). Multivariate analysis showed that TTR ( HR=0.607, 95% CI=0.372-0.991, P=0.046) and lesion length ( HR=0.603, 95% CI=0.371-0.982, P=0.042) were the independent factors for ARS. There was no significant difference in ≥2 grade pneumonitis and 2-3 grade radiation esophagitis between the re-RT and re-CCRT groups ( χ2=0.25, P=0.619; χ2=0.51, P=0.808). The morbidity of ≥2 grade myelosuppression in the re-RT group was significantly lower than that in the re-CCRT group (3.7% vs. 36.7%, χ2=18.15, P<0.001). Conclusions:Precise re-irradiation therapy for patients with locally recurrent esophageal cancer after definitive chemoradiotherapy can alleviate dysphagia, but ARS remains poor. Re-irradiation dose range from>50-54 Gy may be suitable for locally relapse patients as salvage treatment. Patients with TTR≥24 months and lesion length ≤5 cm obtain favorable prognosis.
