ObjectiveBased on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), we investigated the brain activity characteristics of gross motor tasks in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and motor dysfunctions (MDs) to provide a theoretical basis for further understanding the mechanism of MDs in children with ASD and designing targeted intervention programs from a central perspective. MethodsAccording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 48 children with ASD accompanied by MDs were recruited into the ASD group and 40 children with typically developing (TD) into the TD group. The fNIRS device was used to collect the information of blood oxygen changes in the cortical motor-related brain regions during single-handed bag throwing and tiptoe walking, and the differences in brain activation and functional connectivity between the two groups of children were analyzed from the perspective of brain activation and functional connectivity. ResultsCompared to the TD group, in the object manipulative motor task (one-handed bag throwing), the ASD group showed significantly reduced activation in both left sensorimotor cortex (SMC) and right secondary visual cortex (V2) (P<0.05), whereas the right pre-motor and supplementary motor cortex (PMC&SMA) had significantly higher activation (P<0.01) and showed bilateral brain region activity; in terms of brain functional integration, there was a significant decrease in the strength of brain functional connectivity (P<0.05) and was mainly associated with dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and V2. In the body stability motor task (tiptoe walking), the ASD group had significantly higher activation in motor-related brain regions such as the DLPFC, SMC, and PMC&SMA (P<0.05) and showed bilateral brain region activity; in terms of brain functional integration, the ASD group had lower strength of brain functional connectivity (P<0.05) and was mainly associated with PMC&SMA and V2. ConclusionChildren with ASD exhibit abnormal brain functional activity characteristics specific to different gross motor tasks in object manipulative and body stability, reflecting insufficient or excessive compensatory activation of local brain regions and impaired cross-regions integration, which may be a potential reason for the poorer gross motor performance of children with ASD, and meanwhile provides data support for further unraveling the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of MDs in the context of ASD and designing targeted intervention programs from a central perspective.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells （BMSCs） co-cultured with bone marrow-derived M2 macrophages （M2-BMDMs）， named as BMSC^M2， on a rat model of liver cirrhosis induced by carbon tetrachloride （CCl₄）/2-acetaminofluorene （2-AAF）. MethodsRat BMDMs were isolated and polarized into M2 phenotype， and rat BMSCs were isolated and co-cultured with M2-BMDMs at the third generation to obtain BMSC^M2. The rats were given subcutaneous injection of CCl₄ for 6 weeks to establish a model of liver cirrhosis， and then they were randomly divided into model group （M group）， BMSC group， and BMSC^M2 group， with 6 rats in each group. A normal group （N group） with 6 rats was also established. Since week 7， the model rats were given 2-AAF by gavage in addition to the subcutaneous injection of CCl₄. Samples were collected at the end of week 10 to observe liver function， liver histopathology， and hydroxyproline （Hyp） content in liver tissue， as well as changes in the markers for hepatic stellate cells， hepatic progenitor cells， cholangiocytes， and hepatocytes. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the N group， the M group had significant increases in the activities of serum alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） （P<0.01）； compared with the M group， the BMSC and BMSC^M2 groups had significant reductions in ALT and AST （P<0.01）， and the BMSC^M2 group had significantly better activities than the BMSC group （P<0.05）. Compared with the N group， the M group had significant increases in Hyp content and the mRNA and protein expression levels of alpha-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） in the liver （P<0.01）； compared with the M group， the BMSC and BMSC^M2 groups had significant reductions in Hyp content and the expression of α-SMA （P<0.05）， and the BMSC^M2 group had a significantly lower level of α-SMA than the BMSC group （P<0.01）. Compared with the N group， the M group had significant increases in the mRNA expression levels of the hepatic progenitor cell markers EpCam and Sox9 and the cholangiocyte markers CK7 and CK19 （P<0.01） and significant reductions in the expression levels of the hepatocyte markers HNF-4α and Alb （P<0.01）； compared with the M group， the BMSC and BMSC^M2 groups had significant reductions in the mRNA expression levels of EpCam， Sox9， CK7， and CK19 （P<0.05） and significant increases in the mRNA expression levels of HNF-4α and Alb （P<0.05）， and compared with the BMSC group， the BMSC^M2 group had significant reductions in the mRNA expression levels of EpCam and CK19 （P<0.05） and significant increase in the expression level of HNF-4α （P<0.05）. ConclusionM2-BMDMs can enhance the therapeutic effect of BMSCs on CCl₄/2-AAF-induced liver cirrhosis in rats， which provides new ideas for further improving the therapeutic effect of BMSCs on liver cirrhosis.

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy-driving mechanism of Danhong injection （DHI） in the treatment of stable angina pectoris （SAP） based on the composition-activity relationship of target modules and clarify the pharmacological effects of DHI. MethodAccording to the angina frequency （AF） in the Seattle Angina Questionnaire （SAQ） that was obtained in the previous clinical trial， the patients before and after DHI treatment were grouped based on efficacy. The transcriptomic data of the patients before treatment and in the best efficacy group 30 days post-treatment were selected as the data source， and then weighted gene co-expression network analysis （WGCNA） was employed to construct the co-expression network. Relevant modules in the network were identified and associated with clinical features. In addition， the On-modules （Z value below 0） were identified by Zsummary. The topological indicators such as density， centrality， and clustering coefficient were adopted to explore the dynamics of DHI efficacy at the network level and module level， respectively. In addition， the driver genes were screened by the personalized network control （PNC） algorithm. Finally， rat H9C2 cells were used to establish the model of hypoxia/reoxygenation （H/R）， which was used to confirm the potential therapeutic target of DHI for SAP and provide a scientific basis for revealing the therapeutic mechanism of DHI. ResultWe identified 19 modules in the best efficacy group of DHI for SAP， and the comparison between day 0 and day 30 revealed 12 On-modules. The changes of network topological indicators at the network and module levels confirmed the correlation between the best efficacy of DHI treatment and topological dynamics. Finally， the driver genes， Klotho and fibroblast growth factor 22 （FGF22）， in DHI treatment of SAP were verified by the H9C2 cell model of H/R. ConclusionBased on clinical transcriptome data， this study determined the composition-activity relationship of target modules of DHI for SAP， which provided a scientific basis for deciphering the efficacy-driven mechanism of DHI for SAP.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PPCI).Methods Patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock who underwent PPCI at our hospital between January 2015 and December 2019 were enrolled.Clinical baseline characteristics,coronary angiography and PCI-related parameters,and mechanical support information were collected.The patients were followed up for one year and divided into survival and death groups based on their survival status within one year.Differences in various factors between the two groups were compared.Results A total of 40 patients were enrolled,including 26 in the survival group and 14 in the death group.There were no differences in baseline data,diagnosis,risk factors,and comorbidities between the two groups.The survival group had a lower heart rate and higher blood pressure trend at admission compared to the death group.Myocardial enzymes were significantly lower in the survival group compared to the death group(median CK peak:496.00(198.25,2 830.00)U/L vs.3 040.00(405.75,5 626.53)U/L,P=0.003;median CK-MB peak:52.65(31.75,219.50)U/L vs.306.00(27.25,489.63)U/L,P=0.006).When comparing coronary angiography and PCI-related indicators between the two groups,the survival group had a higher rate of complete revascularization compared to the control group(53.85％vs.21.43％,P=0.048).The survival group had a higher proportion of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)combined with intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP)support compared to the control group[38.46％vs.7.14％,P=0.034].Conclusions Survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock undergoing PPCI is associated with lower level of myocardial enzymes,ECMO combined with IABP support and complete revascularization.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of bundled cognitive-behavior intervention in postoperative patients with glioma.Methods:From January 2022 to June 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 95 patients with glioma who underwent surgical treatment at the Neurosurgery Department of Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University as subjects. The patients were divided into an observation group and a control group based on the order of enrollment. The control group received routine medical nursing intervention, while the observation group received bundled cognitive-behavior intervention on the basis of control group. The scores of the Chinese-Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (C-SUPPH), Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were compared between two groups of patients at different time points before and after intervention.Results:Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that there were intergroup, time, and interaction effects between the C-SUPPH, SF-36, SAS, and SDS scores of the two groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). At 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge, the C-SUPPH and SF-36 scores in observation group were lower than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). At 3 and 6 months after discharge, the SAS and SDS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:Bundled cognitive-behavior intervention can increase the self-management efficacy of postoperative glioma patients, improve their quality of life, and alleviate their anxiety and depression.

Interleukin-35(IL-35)is an important immunosuppressive cytokine that has been shown to play a role in the immune response of various diseases.In this study,we cloned the coding sequence of human IL-35 gene,constructed single subunit expression vectors pXC17.4-p35 and pcDNA3.1(+)-EBI3,and co-transfected CHO-K1 cells to express IL-35 in vitro.No binding was found between subunits of p35 and EBI3.Knobs-into-Holes(KIH)can solve the problem of heavy chain mismatch of heterolo-gous antibodies.Therefore,expression vectors pXC17.4-p35-Fch and pcDNA3.1(+)-EBI3-Fck were constructed by fusing KIH structures on the basis of the original sequences to express the recombinant fu-sion protein of KIH-IL-35.The expression vectors of two subunits were exchanged at the same time to verify the influence of different vectors on the expression level of KIH-IL-35.The analysis of various pro-tein detection methods showed that the correct expression rate of KIH-IL-35 structure was significantly im-proved.Affinity purification of KIH-IL-35 was performed after large amount of expression,and the bind-ing activity of KIH-IL-35 to glycoprotein 130(gp130)was detected by ELISA.The results showed that the binding of KIH-IL-35 to gp130 was concentration dependent.The indirect activity of KIH-IL-35 and M1 cells was detected by cell activity assay.Further results showed that the inhibition rate of M1 cells in-creased in a dose-dependent manner with the concentration of KIH-IL-35.In addition,a method for de-termining IL-35 activity by activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells was successfully estab-lished.Activated PBMCs increased in a dose-dependent manner with KIH-IL-35 concentration.In sum-mary,this study utilized the KIH-IL-35 model to enhance the expression of recombinant human IL-35 and validated its high activity in vitro,providing new ideas for the study of IL-35 and the recombinant expres-sion of similar heterodimeric cytokines.

Aim To investigate the mechanism of treatment of hepatolenticular degeneration with Garde-nia and Rhubarb decoction based on network pharma-cology and animal experiments.Methods The chemi-cal components and target sites of Gardenia and Rhu-barb decoction were retrieved using the Traditional Chi-nese Medicine System Pharmacology Analysis Platform(TCMSP).The disease targets were obtained by searching the databases of DisGeNET,GeneCards.The PPI network of active compound target sites was constructed using the STRING database.GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were per-formed using the DAVID database to predict the action pathway.A copper-loaded WD rat model was estab-lished by intragastric administration of copper sulfate pentahydrate.A total of 36 rats were randomly divided into the normal group,model group,penicillamine group and the low,medium and high dose groups of gardenia rhubarb.The relevant indicators and patho-logical changes of liver tissue were detected in WD rats.Results Network pharmacology screening identi-fied 68 potential active components of Gardenia and Rhubarb Decoction,30 intersection targets of diseases and drugs,involving key targets such as TNF,IL10,IGF1,IL1B,TP53,CASP3,PPARG,IL6,CXCL8,IL1A,TGFB1,mainly related to signal pathways such as MAPK,AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications.In the animal experiments,compared with the normal group,the urine copper,liver copper,blood copper,liver coefficient,serum and liver ALT,AST,TNF-α,CASP3,P53 levels in the model group rats significantly increased(P＜0.05);hepatocyte swelling,cytoplasm loose reticular appearance,feath-er-like degeneration and reticular necrosis were ob-served in liver tissue pathology;compared with the model group,the urine copper,liver copper,blood copper,liver coefficient,serum and liver ALT,AST,TNF-α,CASP3,P53 levels in the penicillamine group and Gardenia and Rhubarb decoction groups were sig-nificantly reduced(P＜0.05),and the degree of re-ticular necrosis in the rat liver cells in the penicilla-mine group and the Gardenia and Rhubarb decoction group was significantly reduced.Conclusions Garde-nia and Rhubarb decoction has the effect of regulating copper metabolism and reducing liver injury.The mechanism of action may be related to reversing apop-tosis and downregulating protein expression of TNF-α,CASP3,P53 in MAPK signaling pathway.
