Background Sleep quality is one of the important factors affecting soldiers’ task performance. Objective To explore the effects of mindful attention awareness, burnout, and occupational stress on sleep quality among soldiers in plateau areas. Methods A total of 1090 soldiers were selected from four units in plateau areas by cluster sampling method and were asked to participate a cross-sectional questionnaire survey using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PQSI), Occupational Stress Inventory (OSI), Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Correlation analysis, regression analysis, and mediated effect test were conducted for the study. Results Of the 1090 soldiers recruited, 1082 soldiers returned valid questionnaires, and the valid recovery rate was 99.26%. The median (P25, P75) score of PSQI was 4.00 (2.00,7.00), the median score of OSI was 26.00 (17.00, 34.00), the median score of MBI-GS was 3.53 (3.13, 4.00), and the median score of MAAS was 71.00 (59.00, 82.00). The burnout and mindful attention awareness levels varied among military personnel of different age groups (P<0.05), so did the burnout and occupational stress levels among military personnel of different length of service groups (P<0.05), and the occupational stress, PSQI, burnout, and mindful attention awareness levels among military personnel with different educational backgrounds and genders (P<0.05). The results of mediated effect test showed that occupational stress and burnout had both a parallel mediated effect and a sequential mediating effect on the relationship between mindful attention awareness and sleep quality, with effect sizes of 15.3%, 21.5% and 31.8%, respectively. Conclusion There is a mediated effect on the relationship between mindful attention awareness and sleep quality by the occupational stress and burnout of military personnel in plateau areas, and sleep quality is also affected by mindful attention awareness through the chain-mediated effect of occupational stress and burnout.

Analysis on Sugar Spectrum Difference Between Wild-simulated and Transplanted Astragali Radix / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo establish the characteristic sugar spectrum of polysaccharides， oligosaccharides and monosaccharides of wild-simulated and transplanted Astragali Radix， and find out the difference of the sugar spectrum between the two， so as to provide a basis for quality evaluation of Astragali Radix. MethodThe relative molecular weight distribution of polysaccharides from 18 batches of wild-simulated Astragali Radix and 12 batches of transplanted Astragali Radix were characterized by high performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detection（HPLC-ELSD） to establish the characteristic chromatograms of two kinds of polysaccharides. The difference in the peak area ratio of APS-Ⅱ， a polysaccharide component with a relative molecular weight of 10 kDa， in two kinds of Astragali Radix was analyzed， and the critical value of peak area ratio of APS-Ⅱ was determined by receiver operating characteristic（ROC） curve. At the same time， APS-Ⅱ was partially acid-hydrolyzed by trifluoroacetic acid（TFA） to establish characteristic spectra of two kinds of oligosaccharides from Astragali Radix based on HPLC-ELSD， and the characteristics of differential oligosaccharides were found by principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）. Two kinds of APS-Ⅱ were completely acid-hydrolyzed by TFA and derivatized to establish characteristic spectra of two kinds of monosaccharides from Astragali Radix based on HPLC， PCA and OPLS-DA were performed on the peak area ratio of two kinds of monosaccharides to explore the differences in the composition of two kinds of APS-Ⅱ monosaccharides. ResultThe characteristic sugar spectrum of polysaccharides from Astragali Radix showed that the peak area ratio of APS-Ⅱ was the main difference， and the peak area of APS-Ⅱ of wild-simulated and transplanted Astragali Radix were 89.17%-97.17% and 80.14%-91.96%， respectively. The ROC curve determined the critical value of 92.28% for the difference of APS-Ⅱ peak area ratio of the two kinds of Astragali Radix. The multivariate analysis of APS-Ⅱ oligosaccharides revealed that the peak area ratio of oligosaccharides with polymerization degree≥10 was the main difference， which ranged from 11.835%-19.092% for wild-simulated products and 2.778%-7.017% for transplanted products. The results of monosaccharide characteristic sugar spectrum analysis showed that both Astragali Radix species consisted of six monosaccharides， and glucose and arabinose were the differential monosaccharide fractions. The peak area ratios of glucose and arabinose in wild-simulated products were 85%-93.9% and 2.7%-5.8%， respectively， while those of transplanted products were 74.3%-87.3% and 5.3%-10.7%， suggesting that the structures of the two polysaccharide fractions APS-Ⅱ of Astragali Radix may be different. ConclusionThe difference of sugar spectrum between two kinds of Astragali Radix may be related to the content and structure of APS-Ⅱ， and this study may provide a reference for the study of carbohydrates in Astragali Radix and the quality evaluation of medicinal materials.

lncRNA TUG1 regulates Smac/DIABLO expression by competitively inhibiting miR-29b and modulates the apoptosis of lens epithelial cells in age-related cataracts / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#As one of the early discovered long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA), taurine upregulation gene 1 ( TUG1 ) has been widely expressed in a variety of tumors. Moreover, it promotes cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and migration. However, our understanding of its importance in the pathogenesis of cataracts remains limited. This study aimed to explore the mechanism by which lncRNA TUG1 mediates lens epithelial cell apoptosis in age-related cataracts (ARC) by regulating the microRNAs (miR-29b)/second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases axis, and to identify more non-surgical strategies for cataract treatment.@*METHODS@#The messenger RNA expression levels of TUG1 , miR-29b, and Smac were detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in vivo and in vitro . The expression of the Smac protein was analyzed by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. Flow cytometry and cell counting kit-8 assays were used to detect the cell apoptosis and proliferation rates, respectively. The targeted regulatory relationship between lncRNA TUG1 , miR-29b, and Smac was verified by viral vector construction, co-transfection, nuclear and cytoplasmic separation, luciferase reporter assays, and RNA immunoprecipitation.@*RESULTS@#TUG1 and Smac were expressed at high levels in ARC and HLE-B3 cells treated with 200 μmol/L H 2 O 2 , whereas miR-29b expression was decreased. In vitro cell experiments confirmed that down-regulation of TUG1 could inhibit the apoptosis of lens epithelial cells. Mechanistically, Smac expression was negatively regulated by miR-29b. TUG1 competitively inhibited miR-29b expression and caused greater release of Smac. In addition, miR-29b partially reversed the effects of TUG1 on human lens epithelial cell line cells.@*CONCLUSIONS@#lncRNA TUG1 increases Smac expression and promotes apoptosis of lens epithelial cells in ARC by competitively inhibiting miR-29b. This mechanism is the cytological basis for ARC formation. Based on these results, the lncRNA TUG1/miR29b/Smac axis may be a new molecular pathway that regulates ARC development.

Mechanism of TRPC in promoting extracellular matrix deposition of glomerular mesangial cells / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

【Objective】 To explore the role and mechanism of TRPC in promoting extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in rat glomerular mesangial cells (HBZY-1). Methods Immunofluorescence staining was performed to observe the distribution and expression of TRPC1 and TRPC6 in HBZY-1 cells. After AngⅡ stimulation, qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of Gαq/PLCβ4/TRPC signaling pathway main proteins and ECM deposition indicators (α-SMA, collagenⅢ and fibronectin). By silencing the expressions of TRPC1 and TRPC6 by RNA interference, the expressions of ECM deposition indicators were detected. Changes in [Ca2+]i influx were determined through Fluo-4AM Ca2+ imaging. 【Results】 Both TRPC1 and TRPC6 were expressed in HBZY-1, and were mainly located in cell membrane and cytoplasm. After AngⅡ stimulation, Gαq/PLCβ4/TRPC signaling pathway was activated, and the mRNA and protein expressions of Gαq, PLCβ4, TRPC1 and TRPC6 were all increased (P<0.05). [Ca2+]i influx also increased (P<0.01), and the mRNA and protein expressions of ECM deposition indicators (α-SMA, ColⅢ and Fn) were upregulated (P<0.05). Silencing the expressions of TRPC1 and TRPC6 by RNA interference led to decreased [Ca2+]i influx (P<0.05), and downregulated mRNA and protein expressions of ECM deposition indicators in HBZY-1 cells (P<0.05). The results suggested that inhibition of TRPC expressions could inhibit AngⅡ induced ECM deposition in HBZY-1 cells, which might be associated with decreased [Ca2+]i influx. 【Conclusion】 TRPC may be a novel therapeutic target of renal fibrosis.

Body characteristics of adults from 17 minorities of the Tibeto-Burman language group in China / 解剖学报

Objective To understand the body characteristics of adults from the Tibeto-Burman language group. Methods Totally 14 837 adults (6578 males and 8259 females) from 17 minorities were selected for investigation during 2015 to 2019 and these surveys were carried out in regions including Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan and Tibet Autonomous Region. Eight physical parameters (stature, sitting height, etc.) along with 4 corresponding indexes (stature-sitting index and the like) were carefully analyzed. The body characteristics of the Tibeto-Burman language group were then compared to those of certain minorities as well as Han in both northern and southern part of China based on our collected data. Results Among 17 minorities of the Tibeto-Burman language group, people from Pumi and Tibet were relatively tall and have longer trunk and limbs. The presence of wider trunk and thicker limbs appeared to be common in Tibetan individuals. Subjects from Lahu, Jino and Derung were in possession of shorter stature and limbs while the trunk of Naxi, Lisu and Achang people seemed wider. Compared with other ethnic groups in China, individuals from the Tibeto-Burman language group tended to own shorter stature accompanied by medium trunk width, probably sharing similar physical characteristics with those minorities in southern China, especially She and Li. Conclusion Among ethnic groups dotting in southern China, individuals from the Tibeto-Burman language group generally have medium stature, medium trunk height, and wide trunk whereas those from 3 Mon-Khmer groups, Va, Khmus and Blang, are shorter and smaller in width and height of the trunk.

Effect of cerebrotein hydrolysate-on intestinal microflora regulation of mice with Parkinson's disease / 解剖学报

Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of cerebrotein hydrolysate- (CH-) on 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) induced Parkinson's disease (PD) mice. Methods Totally 36 healthy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group(Ctrl), model group(MPTP) and CH- group. MPTP was used to induce PD model in mice, and CH- was injected intraperitoneally for intervention. The behavioral function of mice was detected by pole test, the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) was detected by immunohistochemistry, and the composition and diversity of intestinal microflora were detected by gene sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Results Compared with the control group, MPTP induced behavioral deficits in PD mice after modeling (P<0.05), after CH- treatment, the behavioral defects of PD mice were improved compared with MPTP group (P<0.05). Immunohistochemical result showed that MPTP decreased the expression of the rate-limiting enzyme TH in dopamine synthesis, and increased the expression of TH after CH- treatment. The result of microbial diversity showed that the intestinal microflora diversity of mice decreased after MPTP treatment (P<0.05). At the “phylum” level, the number of Epsilonbacteraeota and Deferribacteres decreased sharply, while the number of Verrucomicrobia increased significantly. At the level of “family”, the number of Desulfovibrionaceae, Lachnospiraceae, Helicobacteraceae and Rikenellaceae decreased, while the number of Akkermansiaceae and Erysipelotrichaceae increased, suggesting that the original homeostasis of intestinal microflora was destroyed. After CH- treatment, the number of intestinal microflora tended to be normal, which reduced the abundance of pathogenic microbiota and increased the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria. Conclusion CH- can improve the composition of intestinal microflora and the behavioral function of PD mice by decreasing the abundance of pathogenic microbiota and increasing the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria.

Effects of Ginkgo biloba extract on renal injury in rats with experimental renal failure through miR-145/FOXO1 axis / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

ABSTARCT AIM: To investigate the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) on kidney injury in rats with chronic renal failure (CRF) and its potential molecular mechanism. METHODS: SD rats were given 5/6 nephrectomy to construct CRF models and divided into model group, GBE group (100 mg /kg), GBE+ Agomir-NC group, and GBE+Agomir-145 group, 12 per group; another 12 were selected as the sham group, with only the kidney exposed and no nephrectomy. Rats in the GBE group were given GBE 100 mg/kg gavage daily, once a day, for 4 consecutive weeks; rats in the GBE+Agomir-NC group and GBE+Agomir-145 group were given GBE 100 mg/kg gavage daily, and then Agomir-NC and Agomir-145 were injected via the tail vein every 3 days for 4 weeks; the sham group and the model group were given the same amount of normal saline by gavage and injection through the tail vein respectively. The general state of the rat was observed, and the renal function indicators [24 h urine microalbumin (24 h UAlb), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), blood creatinine (SCr)] and oxidative stress indicators [malonaldehyde (MDA), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)] were detected, Masson staining was used to observe the fibrosis of kidney tissue, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of microRNA-145 (miR-145), transforming growth factor - β1 (TGF - β1) and forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) in renal tissue, Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of TGF - β1 and FOXO1 in kidney tissue. RESULTS: The general state of CRF rats improved significantly after GBE intervention, the body weight, renal tissue SOD and GSH-Px activities, and FOXO1 mRNA and protein levels were significantly higher than those in the model group (P<0.05); the 24 h UAlb, serum BUN, SCr and renal tissue MDA levels, the relative area of renal interstitial fibrosis, and renal tissue miR-145, TGF - β1 mRNA and protein levels were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.05); and on the basis of GBE intervention, up-regulating the expression of miR-145 could significantly weaken the protective effect of GBE on renal injury in CRF rats (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: GBE can alleviate kidney damage in CRF rats, and its mechanism of action may be related to down-regulation of miR-145, up-regulation of FOXO1 expression, and inhibition of renal fibrosis.

Misdiagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma of oropharynx: a case report / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

Adenoid cystic carcinoma usually occurs in the salivary glands of the head and neck. It is a malignant tumor with a high degree of malignancy, resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and poor prognosis. The clinical course of adenoid cystic carcinoma is slow and easy to be misdiagnosed. The main diagnosis and treatment means are individualized and precise treatment under the multi-disciplinary consultation mode, that is, surgical treatment and radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is prone to relapse and hematologic metastasis, and the traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy based therapies have not achieved satisfactory efficacy in the past three decades. How to detect, diagnose and treat early is an urgent task faced by clinicians.

TRIB3 promotes pulmonary fibrosis through inhibiting SLUG degradation by physically interacting with MDM2

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is the pathological structure of incurable fibroproliferative lung diseases that are attributed to the repeated lung injury-caused failure of lung alveolar regeneration (LAR). Here, we report that repetitive lung damage results in a progressive accumulation of the transcriptional repressor SLUG in alveolar epithelial type II cells (AEC2s). The abnormal increased SLUG inhibits AEC2s from self-renewal and differentiation into alveolar epithelial type I cells (AEC1s). We found that the elevated SLUG represses the expression of the phosphate transporter SLC34A2 in AEC2s, which reduces intracellular phosphate and represses the phosphorylation of JNK and P38 MAPK, two critical kinases supporting LAR, leading to LAR failure. TRIB3, a stress sensor, interacts with the E3 ligase MDM2 to suppress SLUG degradation in AEC2s by impeding MDM2-catalyzed SLUG ubiquitination. Targeting SLUG degradation by disturbing the TRIB3/MDM2 interaction using a new synthetic staple peptide restores LAR capacity and exhibits potent therapeutic efficacy against experimental PF. Our study reveals a mechanism of the TRIB3-MDM2-SLUG-SLC34A2 axis causing the LAR failure in PF, which confers a potential strategy for treating patients with fibroproliferative lung diseases.

Objective@#To analyse the influencing factors of myopia correction among primary and secondary school students with myopia and to compare the quality of visionrelated survival of students with different correction conditions.@*Methods@#A total of 3 649 students from eight primary and secondary schools in a district of Chongqing were selected for myopia screening and vision related survival quality questionnaires using a stratified cluster random sampling method.@*Results@#Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the rate of wearing eyeglasses among myopic students with different gender, school, educational stage, academic stress, and parenting style ( χ 2=10.98, 31.63, 31.86, 11.28, 9.59, all P <0.05). The fully vision correction rate among students wearing eyeglasses differed in educational stage, academic stress and parenting style ( χ 2= 11.77, 9.92, 8.69, all P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, school and educational stage were all influencing factors of the rate of wearing eyeglasses (all P <0.01). Myopic students total scores on the Quality of Survival Scale were significantly higher than those of non myopic students ( t =20.07, P <0.01). There were significant differences in the scores of physical, emotional, visual and physical functioning and the total score of quality of survival scores among the three groups of myopic students without wearing eyeglasses, students with undercorrection and students with full vision correction ( F=49.93, 49.38, 28.14, 67.31, P <0.01).@*Conclusion@#Myopic students have low rates of wearing eyeglasses and fully vision correction. The rate of wearing glasses is different in urban and rural areas, gender and educational stage. The quality of life among myopic students is decreased by wearing eyeglasses, and the quality of life of undercorrected students is lower than that of fully corrected students. We should pay attention to the correction of myopia and improve the quality of life among myopic students.

Analysis of the vaccination status of enterovirus type 71 inactivated vaccine in China from 2017 to 2021 / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective: To understand the vaccination status of enterovirus type 71 (EV71) inactivated vaccines in China from 2017 to 2021 and provide evidence for making policy on immunization strategy against hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). Methods: Using the reported dose number of EV71 vaccination and birth cohort population data collected by the China immunizaiton program information system to estimate the cumulative coverage of EV71 vaccine by the end of 2021 among the birth cohorts since 2012 at national, provincial, and prefecture levels, and analyze the correlation between the vaccination coverage and the potential influencing factors. Results: As of 2021, the estimated cumulative vaccination coverage of the EV71 vaccine was 24.96% in birth cohorts since 2012. The cumulative vaccination coverage was between 3.09% and 56.59% in different provinces, between 0 and 88.17% in different prefectures. There was a statistically significant correlation between vaccination coverage in different regions and the region's previous HFMD prevalence and disposable income per capita. Conclusions: Since 2017, the EV71 vaccines have been widely used nationwide, but the coverage of EV71 vaccination varies greatly among regions. Vaccination coverage is higher in relatively developed regions, and the intensity of previous epidemic of HFMD may have a certain impact on the acceptance of the vaccine and the pattern of immunization service. The impact of EV71 vaccination on the epidemic of HFMD requires further studies.

Design, synthesis, antibacterial and antitumor activities of novel pyrazolo3,4-bpyridine-4-one-5-carboxylic acid derivatives / 药学学报

To discover new structural hits, based on the important role of pyrazole ring and fragment of pyridinone carboxylic acid in drug design, novel title pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-4-one-5-carboxylic acid derivatives (10a-10p) were designed and synthesized, the structures were confirmed by spectral data and elemental analyses. The antibacterial and antitumor activities were evaluated by the measured minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against the tested four strains and half inhibitory concentration (IC50) values against the tested four cancer cells, respectively. The results displayed markedly poor antibacterial activity and observably potent antitumor activity. In particularly, the title difluorophenyl (10d, 10e, 10f), pyridyl (10j), ethyl (10k) and cycloproyl (10l) compounds exhibited comparable activity against Capan-1 and A549 cells to that of the comparison doxorubicin. Thus, pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-4-one-5-carboxylic acid derivatives as promising antitumor hits need to be developed.
