ObjectiveTo re-evaluate the systematic reviews/Meta-analyses （SRs/MAs） of tonic traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） injections against cerebral ischemic stroke （CIS） and provide evidence support for clinical practice and decision-making. MethodTCM injections of different varieties were obtained after searching the three major drug catalogues. Seven Chinese and English databases were searched from database inception to March 13，2022，for the relevant SRs/MAs. The methodological quality，risk of bias，reporting quality，and quality of evidence were assessed by Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews-2 （AMSTAR-2），the Risk of Bias in Systematic Review （ROBIS），the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses 2020 （PRISMA 2020），and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment，Development，and Evaluation （GRADE）. In addition，the literature overlap matrix was established to calculate the corrected covered area （CCA） and evaluate the rate of overlaps of the original literature. ResultFive types of TCM injections and 18 SRs/MAs were included. AMSTAR 2 evaluation showed that the methodological quality of 18 SRs/MAs was extremely low，and 14 SRs/MAs had a high risk of bias assessed by ROBIS. The quality evaluation results reported by the PRISMA 2020 showed that the scores of the studies included ranged from 19.5 to 28.5，with 10 being of medium quality and eight of low quality. The evaluation with the GRADE system demonstrated that one outcome was moderate-quality evidence，15 outcomes were low-quality evidence，and 41 outcomes were very low-quality evidence. The CCA of the included SRs/MAs was 0.263，indicating a low rate of overlaps of the original literature. ConclusionTonic TCM injections are effective and safe in the treatment of CIS，but this conclusion should be treated with caution because of the low quality of methodology，reports，and evidence in published SRs/MAs. It is recommended to improve the study design，obtain clinical evidence of higher quality，and conduct systematic evaluations in strict accordance with procedures to standardize the reporting of research results.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Huanglian Jiedutang on the inflammatory injury in the mouse model of acute gouty arthritis （AGA） and to explore the mechanism of Huanglian Jiedutang in treating AGA. MethodForty male C57BL/6J mice were randomized into blank， model， colchicine （0.83 mg·kg^-1）， and Huanglian Jiedutang （5 g·kg^-1） groups. The mouse model of AGA was established by injecting monosodium urate （MSU） crystals into the ankle joint. The swelling degree of the right ankle joint of each mouse was measured every day for 7 days， and the pathological changes of the ankle joint were detected by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining after 7 days. The other 40 C57BL/6J mice were grouped as above. After 18 hours of modeling， the right ankle joint was collected， and real-time polymerase chain reaction was employed to measure the mRNA levels of interleukin （IL）-1β， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， IL-6， NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3）， apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD （ASC）， and Caspase-1. The expression levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， and IL-6 were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of NLRP3 inflammasome， Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）， and nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group showed swelling right ankle joint （P<0.01）， obvious foreign body granuloma in the ankle joint with inflammatory cell infiltration. After the treatment with Huanglian Jiedutang， the ankle joint swelling was relieved （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the size of foreign body granuloma was reduced. Compared with the blank group， the model group showed up-regulated mRNA levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， and IL-6 in the ankle joint tissue （P<0.01）， up-regulated mRNA levels of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in the NLRP3 inflammasome （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and up-regulated protein levels of NLRP3， Caspase-1， TLR4， and NF-κB （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Huanglian Jiedutang down-regulated the mRNA levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， IL-6， NLRP3， and Caspase-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01） and the protein levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， IL-6， NLRP3， Caspase-1， TLR4， and NF-κB （P<0.05 or P<0.01）. ConclusionInjecting MSU crystal resulted in local inflammatory injury of the joints in the mouse model of AGA. The treatment with Huanglian Jiedutang may alleviate the inflammatory injury by regulating the NLRP3 inflammasome and TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of the decline of intrinsic capacity(IC)and to explore the effect of intrinsic capacity decline on falls and hospital readmission during 1 year follow-up.Methods:A total of 311 elderly patients treated in Geriatrics Department of Zhejiang Hospital were enrolled.General information and intrinsic ability data, including cognitive(simple mental state inventory), motor(Tinetti-Balance Scale and 4 m test), vitality(grip strength and mini-nutrition assessment table), perception(self-rated vision or hearing impairment), and psychosocial(Geriatric depression scale), were collected at admission.Falls and hospital readmission within 1 year after discharge were followed up.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship of baseline intrinsic ability at admission with falls and hospital readmission during 1-year follow-up.Results:Of 311 elderly hospitalized patients, 282(90.7%)had intrinsic capacity decline.During 1 year follow-up, 38 elderly patients(12.2%)had falls and 69 elderly patients(22.2%)were hospital readmitted.After adjusting for confounding factors such as age, gender, education level, comorbidities, multiple medications, fear of falling, and assistive tool use and so on, Logistic regression analysis showed that decreased balance ability was a risk factor for falls within 1 year in elderly patients( OR=3.515, 95% CI: 1.089-11.346, P=0.036), and slow walking speed was a risk factor for one-year hospital readmission( OR=2.426, 95% CI: 1.181-4.983, P=0.016). Conclusions:Decreased motor capacity is closely associated with falls and hospital readmission within 1 year in older patients.Great attention should be paid to the assessment and intervention of motor ability in elderly patients.

Objective:To explore the effect of distal veins on the survival of a dorsal four-territory perforator flap in rats.Methods:A total of 32 SD rats were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group, with 16 rats in each group. The multi-territory perforator flap including the bilateral iliolumbar and bilateral posterior intercostal angiosomes was cut from the back of each rat, with the size of 6 cm×7 cm. The right iliolumbar artery and vein were preserved in the control group, while the right iliolumbar artery and the right posterior intercostal vein were preserved in the experimental group. In both groups, incisions were made between the right iliolumbar angiosome and the right posterior intercostal angiosome. Finally, the flap was sutured back to their orthotopic site. At 6 hours and 1, 3, 5, 7 days after surgery, the blood perfusion at the bilateral iliolumbar and the left posterior intercostal vascular territories were measured. On the seventh day after surgery, the percentage of the survived area of the flaps were evaluated, arteriography was performed to observe the dilation of arteries within the flap, the intraluminal diameter of the choke artery in the choke 2 area was measured using hematoxylin and eosin staining, and the relative expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) was detected by Western blotting. SPSS 28.0 was used for statistical analysis, and measurement data were presented as Mean±SD. Independent sample t-test was used to compare data across two groups. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:(1) At 6 hours and 1, 3, 5, 7 days after surgery, the experimental group displayed higher blood perfusion than the control group at the bilateral iliolumbar and the left posterior intercostal vascular territories (all P<0.01). (2) On the 7th day after surgery, the artery dilation of the experimental group was more obvious than that of the control group; the percentage of the survived flap area in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group [(87.6±3.2)% vs. (65.3±3.0)%, P<0.01]; the intraluminal diameter of the choke artery was greater in the experimental group than that in the control group[(49.3±3.1) μm vs. (35.1±2.3) μm, P<0.01]; and the relative expression of eNOS in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (0.87±0.07 vs. 0.50±0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion:The distal vein (right posterior intercostal vein) of dorsal four-territory perforator flap of SD rats directly guided the pedicle artery blood supply to promote the expression of eNOS, dilated the arteries in each zone of the flap, increased the blood supply to the distal artery of the flap, and ultimately enhanced the flap survival area.

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is associated with stroke-related mortality. However, the long-term association of blood pressure (BP) and the risk of stroke-related mortality and the influence path of BP on stroke-related death remain unknown. The current study aimed to estimate the long-term causal associations between BP and stroke-related mortality and the potential mediating and moderated mediating model of the associations. METHODS: This is a 45-year follow-up cohort study and a total of 1696 subjects were enrolled in 1976 and 1081 participants died by the latest follow-up in 2020. COX proportional hazard model was used to explore the associations of stroke-related death with baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP)/diastolic blood pressure (DBP) categories and BP changes from 1976 to 1994. The mediating and moderated mediating effects were performed to detect the possible influencing path from BP to stroke-related deaths. E value was calculated in the sensitivity analysis. RESULTS: Among 1696 participants, the average age was 44.38 ± 6.10 years, and 1124 were men (66.3%). After a 45-year follow-up, a total of 201 (11.9%) stroke-related deaths occurred. After the adjustment, the COX proportional hazard model showed that among the participants with SBP ≥ 160 mmHg or DBP ≥ 100 mmHg in 1976, the risk of stroke-related death increased by 217.5% (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.175, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.297-4.388), and the adjusted HRs were higher in male participants. Among the participants with hypertension in 1976 and 1994, the risk of stroke-related death increased by 110.4% (HR = 2.104, 95% CI: 1.632-2.713), and the adjusted HRs of the BP changes were higher in male participants. Body mass index (BMI) significantly mediated the association of SBP and stroke-related deaths and this mediating effect was moderated by gender. CONCLUSIONS In a 45-year follow-up, high BP and persistent hypertension are associated with stroke-related death, and these associations were even more pronounced in male participants. The paths of association are mediated by BMI and moderated by gender.

The identification of oleaginous yeast species capable of simultaneously utilizing xylose and glucose as substrates to generate value-added biological products is an area of key economic interest. We have previously demonstrated that the Cutaneotrichosporon dermatisNICC30027 yeast strain is capable of simultaneously assimilating both xylose and glucose, resulting in considerable lipid accumulation. However, as no high-quality genome sequencing data or associated annotations for this strain are available at present, it remains challenging to study the metabolic mechanisms underlying this phenotype. Herein, we report a 39,305,439 bp draft genome assembly for C. dermatis NICC30027 comprised of 37 scaffolds, with 60.15% GC content. Within this genome, we identified 524 tRNAs, 142 sRNAs, 53 miRNAs, 28 snRNAs, and eight rRNA clusters. Moreover, repeat sequences totaling 1,032,129 bp in length were identified (2.63% of the genome), as were 14,238 unigenes that were 1,789.35 bp in length on average (64.82% of the genome). The NCBI non-redundant protein sequences (NR) database was employed to successfully annotate 11,795 of these unigenes, while 3,621 and 11,902 were annotated with the Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL databases, respectively. Unigenes were additionally subjected to pathway enrichment analyses using the Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Cluster of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COG), Clusters of orthologous groups for eukaryotic complete genomes (KOG), and Non-supervised Orthologous Groups (eggNOG) databases.Together, these results provide a foundation for future studies aimed at clarifying the mechanistic basis for the ability of C. dermatis NICC30027 to simultaneously utilize glucose and xylose to synthesize lipids.
