    Abstract Cognitive impairments, such as learning and memory deficits, may occur in susceptible populations including the elderly and patients who are chronically ill or have experienced stressful events, including surgery, infection, and trauma. Accumulating lines of evidence suggested that peripheral inflammation featured by the recruitment of peripheral immune cells and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines may be activated during aging and these conditions, participating in peripheral immune system-brain communication. Lots of progress has been achieved in deciphering the core bridging mechanism connecting peripheral inflammation and cognitive impairments, which may be helpful in developing early diagnosis, prognosis evaluation, and prevention methods based on peripheral blood circulation system sampling and intervention. In this review, we summarized the evolving evidence on the prevalence of peripheral inflammation-associated neurocognitive impairments and discussed the research advances in the underlying mechanisms. We also highlighted the prevention and treatment strategies against peripheral inflammation-associated cognitive dysfunction.

    Abstract Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) elicits an immune-inflammatory response that may result in hepatocyte necrosis and apoptosis, ultimately culminating in postoperative hepatic dysfunction and hepatic failure. The precise mechanisms governing the pathophysiology of HIRI remain incompletely understood, necessitating further investigation into key molecules and pathways implicated in disease progression to guide drug discovery and potential therapeutic interventions. Gene microarray data was downloaded from the GEO expression profile database. Integrated bioinformatic analyses were performed to identify HIRI signature genes, which were subsequently validated for expression levels and diagnostic efficacy. Finally, the gene expression was verified in an experimental HIRI model and the effect of anti-IL17A antibody intervention in three time points (including pre-ischemic, post-ischemic, and at 1 h of reperfusion) on HIRI and the expression of these genes was investigated. Bioinformatic analyses of the screened characterized genes revealed that inflammation, immune response, and cell death modulation were significantly associated with HIRI pathophysiology. CCL2, BTG2, GADD45A, FOS, CXCL10, TNFRSF12A, and IL-17 pathway were identified as key components involved in the HIRI. Serum and liver IL-17A expression were significantly upregulated during the initial phase of HIRI. Pretreatment with anti-IL-17A antibody effectively alleviated the damage of liver tissue, suppressed inflammatory factors, and serum transaminase levels, and downregulated the mRNA expression of CCL2, GADD45A, FOS, CXCL10, and TNFRSF12A. Injection of anti-IL17A antibody after ischemia and at 1 h of reperfusion failed to demonstrate anti-inflammatory and attenuating HIRI benefits relative to earlier intervention. Our study reveals that the IL-17 pathway and related genes may be involved in the proinflammatory mechanism of HIRI, which may provide a new perspective and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of HIRI.

    Abstract Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a causative agent of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Until now, the mechanism behind the progress of hepatitis B fibrosis to HCC remains largely unknown. This study aims to examine the candidate biomarkers and pathways involved in HBV-associated HCC.Methods: Gene expression profiles were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the GEO2R tool after which functional enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, genetic alteration analysis, prognostic analysis, immune infiltration analysis, co-expression genes prediction, and miRNA-gene network construction, and pathway correlation analysis were performed.Results: 22 hub genes were identified, which were all highly expressed in HCC, and overexpression of these genes was all associated with significantly worse survival in HCC patients. More significantly, ASPM also showed increased expression levels in non-tumor tissues with advanced liver fibrosis. With the progression of liver fibrosis and the closer tumor center of HCC, the higher expression of ASPM was identified. ASPM was considered to be the most promising biomarker because it also showed the highest genetic alteration frequency among the hub genes and the expression level of ASPM in HBV (+) HCC tissues was significantly higher than that in HBV (-) HCC tissues. Also, the infiltration levels of B cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells were all positively correlated with the expression of ASPM.Conclusion: These findings may help in the development of strategies and candidate drugs for the treatment of HBV-related HCC and improve the effectiveness of personalized treatment in the future. ASPM was upregulated in both hepatitis B cirrhosis and HCC and could be a potential predicting biomarker.

    Abstract Background: Delirium seriously affects the prognosis of patients and greatly reduces the ability to work and live. Peripheral inflammatory events may contribute to the development of delirium, the mechanism of which is still unclear. There is a lack of effective diagnostic and treatments for delirium in clinical practice. The study aims to investigate alterations in peripheral immune cell subsets under inflammatory stress and to explore causal associations with delirium.
    Methods: Single-cell transcriptional sequencing data of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) before and after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intervention were processed by the Seurat package in R software. PBMC subsets and cellular markers were defined after downscaling and clustering by the Harmony algorithm to identify characteristic subsets in the context of inflammatory stress. Subsequently, a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was used to explore the causal associations of these inflammation-related PBMC subsets and their molecular phenotypes with delirium. Based on publicly available genetic data, the study incorporated 70 PBMC-associated immune traits, including 8 types of circulating immune cells, 33 B cell subsets and molecular phenotypes, 13 T cell subsets, and 16 B cell-associated cytokines. The results were also validated for robustness, heterogeneity, and horizontal pleiotropy.
    Results: Under LPS-induced inflammatory stress, B cells, T cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells in human PBMC showed significant activation and quantitative changes. Of these, only lymphocyte and B cell counts were causally associated with delirium risk. This risk link is also seen in the TNF pathway. Further studies of B cells and their subsets revealed that this association may be related to unswitched memory B cells and CD27 expressed on memory B cells. Annotation of the screened SNPs revealed significant polymorphisms in CD27 and CD40 annotated by rs25680 and rs9883798, respectively. The functions of the key annotated genes may be related to the regulation of immune responses, cell differentiation, proliferation, and intercellular interactions.
    Conclusion: The present study revealed the potential possibility that B cell, memory B cell subset, and TNF-related molecules may be involved in the development of delirium due to peripheral inflammation, which can provide clues for further investigation of delirium prevention and treatment strategies.

    Abstract Background: Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China, numerous research institutions have invested in the development of anti-COVID-19 vaccines and screening for efficacious drugs to manage the virus.
    Objective: To explore the potential targets and therapeutic drugs for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 through data mining and bioinformatics.
    Methods: We integrated and profoundly analyzed 10 drugs previously assessed to have promising therapeutic potential in COVID-19 management, and have been recommended for clinical trials. To explore the mechanisms by which these drugs may be involved in the treatment of COVID-19, gene-drug interactions were identified using the DGIdb database after which functional enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and miRNA-gene network construction were performed. We adopted the DGIdb database to explore the candidate drugs for COVID-19.
    Results: A total of 43 genes associated with the 10 potential COVID-19 drugs were identified. Function enrichment analysis revealed that these genes were mainly enriched in response to other invasions, toll-like receptor pathways, and they play positive roles in the production of cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, and INF-β. TNF, TLR3, TLR7, TLR9, and CXCL10 were identified as crucial genes in COVID-19. Through the DGIdb database, we predicted 87 molecules as promising druggable molecules for managing COVID-19.
    Conclusions: Findings from this work may provide new insights into COVID-19 mechanisms and treatments. Further, the already identified candidate drugs may improve the efficiency of pharmaceutical treatment in this rapidly evolving global situation.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the protective effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) and the expression of high mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) in liver tissues in rats.
    Methods: A total of 40 male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, namely sham control, HIRI model, "Ganshu"(BL18) -"Yanglingquan"(GB34) and non-acupoint group, with 10 rats in each group. The HIRI model was induced by blocking the arteries, veins and bile ducts supplying the middle and left lobes of the liver for 1 h, and reperfusion for 4 h to induce an area of about 70% HIRI. EA was applied to bila-teral BL18 and GB34, or non-acupoints about 6-8 mm to the bilateral BL18 for 30 min before modeling. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were measured by using an automatic biochemical analyzer. Serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and HMGB1 levels were assayed by ELISA. Hematoxylin - eosin (H.E.) staining was used to observe histopathological changes of the liver tissue by using tissue injury scaling (0-3 scores). The expression of HMGB1 protein in liver tissues was detected by immunohistochemical staining, Western blot and PCR, separately.
    Results: Following modeling and compared with the sham group, the levels of serum ALT, AST, TNF-α, IL-6, and HMGB1 contents, the number of HMGB1 immunoreaction (IR)-positive cells, and HMGB1 protein and mRNA were significantly increased (P<0.01). After the treatment, the contents of serum ALT, AST, TNF-α, IL-6, and HMGB1, liver HMGB1 IR-positive cells, protein and mRNA were considerably down-regulated in the BL18-GB34 group (
    Conclusion: EA of BL18 and GB34 points has a protective effect on ischemic liver injury in rats with HIRI, which may be associated with its functions in inhibiting the migration and release of HMGB1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and in down-regulating the expression of inflammatory factors.
