ABSTRACT

Background: During the prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), little was known about the knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP) about COVID-19 and psychological status of college students in minority areas. This study aimed to evaluate the KAP of college students in minority areas of China toward COVID-19 and to provide a scientific basis for health education and policy formulation. Methods: From October 28th to November 6th, 2021, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 5,272 college students to examine KAP and its effects on mental health. Results: Regarding COVID-19 knowledge, the overall awareness rate was 24.11% (1,271). Regarding health attitudes, most students had positive attitudes about COVID-19 prevention and control (94.95%), and females had higher positive attitudes than males (OR: 1.920; CI: 1.494-2.469). Regarding preventive behaviors, more than half of the students took preventive measures (53.48%), and freshmen had the highest health behavior scores. In terms of psychological status, there were fewer females with depression and stress than males. Conclusion: College students in minority areas have positive health attitudes; however, their knowledge of COVID-19 prevention and control is low. Moreover, their precautionary behaviors are insufficient, and they have many negative emotions.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo compare the therapeutic effects of oral Chinese medicines (including Chinese patent medicines) on coronary artery disease (CAD) by the Bayesian network Meta-analysis. MethodThe randomized controlled trials of treating CAD with oral Chinese medicines were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library from the inception to December 1, 2022. The Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool was used to evaluate the quality of the included articles. The direct meta-analysis was performed to compare the performance of oral Chinese medicines alone and in combination with Western medicine in the treatment of CAD in terms of intima-media thickness (IMT), vascular endothelial function, plaque score, hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and total response rate. Furthermore, the Bayesian network Meta-analysis was performed to compare the therapeutic effects of different Chinese medicines. ResultA total of 41 articles were included. The direct meta-analysis results showed that Chinese medicines combined with Western medicine outperformed Western medicine alone in recovering all the indicators of CAD. The Bayesian network meta-analysis yielded the following results. In terms of the total response rate, modified Huangqi Guizhi Wuwutang and Sanqi Huayu pills had obvious advantages over other Chinese medicines. In terms of IMT and plaque score, Xiaoban Huazhuo decoction, Yiqi Tongluo formula, Ruangan Jiangzhi capsules, and Guanxin Shutong capsules had obvious advantages over other Chinese medicines. In terms of blood lipid indicators, Shenqi Roumai mixture, Ruangan Jiangzhi capsules, Xiaoban Huazhuo decoction, Qiwei Sanxiong decoction, and Sanqi Huayu pills were superior to other Chinese medicines. The Chinese medicines above mainly had the functions of activating blood, resolving stasis, resolving phlegm, and dredging vessels. ConclusionThe combination of oral Chinese medicines and Western medicine is effective in treating CAD. Clinicians can use the drugs targeting abnormal indicators according to the results of this Bayesian network meta-analysis combined with the actual situation of patients to achieve better therapeutic effects.

ABSTRACT

The potential for future coronavirus outbreaks highlights the need to develop strategies and tools to broadly target this group of pathogens. Here, using an epitope-agnostic approach, we identified six monoclonal antibodies that bound to spike proteins from all seven human-infecting coronaviruses. Epitope mapping revealed that all six antibodies target the conserved fusion peptide region adjacent to the S2 cleavage site. Two antibodies, COV44-62 and COV44-79, broadly neutralize a range of alpha and beta coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants BA.1 and BA.2, albeit with lower potency than RBD-specific antibodies. In crystal structures of Fabs COV44-62 and COV44-79 with the SARS-CoV-2 fusion peptide, the fusion peptide epitope adopts a helical structure and includes the arginine at the S2 cleavage site. Importantly, COV44-79 limited disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 in a Syrian hamster model. These findings identify the fusion peptide as the target of the broadest neutralizing antibodies in an epitope-agnostic screen, highlighting this site as a candidate for next-generation coronavirus vaccine development. One-Sentence SummaryRare monoclonal antibodies from COVID-19 convalescent individuals broadly neutralize coronaviruses by targeting the fusion peptide.

ABSTRACT

Carbon dots (CDs), possessing unexpected advantages of photostability, biocompatibility and low toxicity, are regarded as novel nanomaterials in fluorescence (FL) imaging. Doping Gd element in CDs makes them have the ability to be used for magnetic resonance (MR) and FL imaging simultaneously. However, CDs reported before exhibit obvious defects like low photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) or biotoxicity. In this work, we use gadolinium meglumine, a material with relatively low biotoxicity, along with citric acid and diethylenetriamine to synthesize Gd-doped CDs (Gd-CDs) by a one-step hydrothermal method. The prepared Gd-CDs exhibit excitation-independent emission with a PL QY of 78.05% and a longitudinal relaxivity of 7.37 mM-1 S-1, which endows the composite with high-performance in MR/FL imaging. Meanwhile, the FL intensity of Gd-CDs remains stable in the presence of multiple amino acids, which indicates that the FL imaging effect should not be impacted significantly in microenvironments in vivo. In addition to the inconspicuous cytotoxicity, Gd-CDs could be used efficiently for dual-modal molecular imaging to detect diseases such as tumors in the early stages.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Numerous researches have focused on discovering available inhibitors of melanogenesis from natural medicinal plants with stable efficacy and safety to resolve cutaneous hyperpigmentary problems. Melochia corchorifolia Linn. (MC) has been used as folk medicine to treat various diseases. However, the effect of MC on melanogenesis remains unknown. AIM: In this study, we investigated the effect of MC extract on melanogenesis and its underlying mechanisms in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells. METHODS: B16F10 cells were treated with MC extract, and then, cell viability, melanin content, and tyrosinase activity were analyzed. The mRNA and protein expression of tyrosinase and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) were evaluated using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting, respectively. Phosphorylated or total protein levels in MC extract-induced signaling pathways were analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS: Treatment of B16F10 cells with MC extract inhibited melanin synthesis and intracellular tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent manner with no cytotoxicity. Protein and mRNA expressions of tyrosinase and MITF were also significantly decreased by MC extract treatment. In addition, phosphorylated level of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) was obviously increased by MC extract, but AKT pathway was not activated. Inhibited ERK phosphorylation by pretreatment with a selective ERK inhibitor PD98059 significantly reversed the decreased melanin content induced by treatment with MC extract in B16F10 cells. CONCLUSION: MC extract inhibits melanogenesis in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells through suppression of MITF-tyrosinase signaling pathway by ERK activation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To assess the effect and safety of Hydroxysafflor Yellow A for Injection (HSYAI) in treating patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and blood stasis syndrome (BSS).@*METHODS@#A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, multiple-dose, active-controlled phase II trial was conducted at 9 centers in China from July 2013 to September 2015. Patients with moderate or severe AIS and BSS were randomly assigned to low-, medium-, high-dose HSYAI groups (25, 50 and 70 mg/d HSYAI by intravenous infusion, respectively), and a control group (Dengzhan Xixin Injection (, DZXXI) 30 mL/d by intravenous infusion), for 14 consecutive days. The primary outcome was the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ⩽1 at days 90 after treatment. The secondary outcomes included the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ⩽1, Barthel Index (BI) score ⩾95, and BSS score reduced ⩾30% from baseline at days 14, 30, 60, and 90 after treatment. The safety outcomes included any adverse events during 90 days after treatment.@*RESULTS@#Of the 266 patients included in the effectiveness analysis, 66, 67, 65 and 68 cases were in the low-, medium-, and high-dose HSYAI and control groups, respectively. The proportions of patients in the medium- and high-dose HSYAI groups with mRS score ⩽1 at days 90 after treatment were significantly larger than the control group (P0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#HSYAI was safe and well-tolerated at all doses for treating AIS patients with BSS. The medium (50 mg/d) or high dose (75 mg/d) might be the optimal dose for a phase III trial. (Registration No. ChiCTR-2000029608).

ABSTRACT

Monitoring neuronal activity in vivo is critical to understanding the physiological or pathological functions of the brain. Two-photon Ca imaging in vivo using a cranial window and specific neuronal labeling enables real-time, in situ, and long-term imaging of the living brain. Here, we constructed a recombinant rabies virus containing the Ca indicator GCaMP6s along with the fluorescent protein DsRed2 as a baseline reference to ensure GCaMP6s signal reliability. This functional tracer was applied to retrogradely label specific V1-thalamus circuits and detect spontaneous Ca activity in the dendrites of V1 corticothalamic neurons by in vivo two-photon Ca imaging. Notably, we were able to record single-spine spontaneous Ca activity in specific circuits. Distinct spontaneous Ca dynamics in dendrites of V1 corticothalamic neurons were found for different V1-thalamus circuits. Our method can be applied to monitor Ca dynamics in specific input circuits in vivo, and contribute to functional studies of defined neural circuits and the dissection of functional circuit connections.

ABSTRACT

Human faces are one interesting object class with numerous applications. While significant progress has been made in the generic deblurring problem, existing methods are less effective for blurry face images. The success of the state-of-the-art image deblurring algorithms stems mainly from implicit or explicit restoration of salient edges for kernel estimation. However, existing methods are less effective as only few edges can be restored from blurry face images for kernel estimation. In this paper, we address the problem of deblurring face images by exploiting facial structures. We propose a deblurring algorithm based on an exemplar dataset without using coarse-to-fine strategies or heuristic edge selections. In addition, we develop a convolutional neural network to restore sharp edges from blurry images for deblurring. Extensive experiments against the state-of-the-art methods demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for deblurring face images. In addition, we show that the proposed algorithms can be applied to image deblurring for other object classes.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the relationship between after-school schedule and bone mineral density in middle-school students in Shanghai, to provide a reference for taking targeted measures.@*Methods@#From November 2017 to April 2018,eighteen classes of six middle schools in Shanghai (from urban districts, urban-suburb combined districts and suburban districts, respectively) were selected based on cluster random sampling. In each school, 2-4 classes were further randomly chosen in the 6th grade. Questionnaires were completed by 518 students and their parents, as well as physical examination and bone mineral density assessment.@*Results@#The average time spent on after-school academic learning during weekends was 4.0 (IQR: 2.0, 6.0) h. The Z-score of bone density was 0.3 (IQR: -0.7, 1.0). The smooth curve fit model showed a non-linear relationship between after-school academic learning time during weekends and the Z-scores of bone mineral densities. A two-stage multiple linear regression analysis was further applied according to the fit results, and the results showed that when total afterschool academic learning time <4.5 hours during weekends, the learning time was inversely correlated with the bone density Z-scores (β=-0.11,P=0.01), and when the learning time ≥4.5 hours, there was no significant correlation between the learning time and bone density Z-scores (β=0.02, P=0.65). Parent and student questionnaires showed that there was a non-linear relationship between students’ daily time spent on outdoor sports-related activities and bone density Z-scores. When time spent on the outdoor activities ≥45 minutes per day, outdoor activities were positively correlated with bone density Z-scores (P<0.05). However, when the time spent on outdoor activities <45 minutes per day, there was no significant relationship between outdoor activities and bone density Z-scores (P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#Too much time on after-school academic learning during weekends or limited time on outdoor activities are both related to impaired bone mineral densities. Therefore, a reasonable after-school schedule for middle-school students is important for physical development, especially during weekends.

ABSTRACT

Keloids were characterized by excessive growth of fibrous tissues, and shared several pathological characteristics with cancer. They did put physical and emotional stress on patients in that keloids could badly change appearance of patients. N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) retinamide (4HPR) showed cytotoxic activity on a wide variety of invasive-growth cells. Our work was aim to prepare N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) retinamide-loaded lipid microbubbles (4HPR-LM) combined with ultrasound for anti-keloid therapy. 4HPR-loaded liposomes (4HPR-L) were first prepared by film evaporation method, and then 4HPR-LM were manufactured by mixing 4HPR-L and perfluoropentane (PFP) with ultrasonic cavitation method. The mean particle size and entrapment efficiency 4HPR-LM were 113 nm and 95%, respectively. The anti-keloids activity of 4HPR-LM was assessed with BALB/c nude mice bearing subcutaneous xenograft keloids model. 4HPR-LM, combined with ultrasound, could significantly induce apoptosis of keloid fibroblasts in vitro and inhibited growth of keloids in vivo. Thus, 4HPR-LM could be considered as a promising agent for anti-keloids therapy.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Apoptosis in the skeletal muscle leads to a variety of skeletal muscle diseases, but there are ideal no therapies so far. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of different intensities of exercises on the morphology and apoptosis of the skeletal muscle in rats. METHODS: Thirty healthy male 3-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into three groups (n=10 per group): control group (no swimming), aerobic exercise and high-intensity exercise groups. The rats in the exercise groups underwent swimming for consecutive 10 weeks. Then, the gastrocnemius muscle was isolated from all rats under anesthesia. The morphology and cell apoptosis were detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining and TUNEL test. At the same time, the levels of superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde in skeletal muscle tissue were tested and the correlation of malondialdehyde with integrated optical density (IOD) was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The results of hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that the muscle fibers were in disorder arrangement with obscure structure in the high-intensity exercise group. Compared with the control group, the content of malondialdehyde was increased in the exercise groups, especially in the aerobic exercise group (P < 0.05). The level of superoxide dismutase in the high-intensity exercise group was significantly lower than that in the aerobic exercise group (P < 0.05). The results of TUNEL test showed that the IOD values in the high-intensity exercise group were significantly higher than those in the aerobic exercise and control groups (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation of malondialdehyde with IOD. These results indicate that the long-term and high-intensity exercise can increase the content of malondialdehyde in the skeletal muscle, resulting in an aggravation of fatigue. Aerobic exercise can obtain the adaptation of the skeletal muscle, but damage the morphology and structure of the skeletal muscle because of excessive exercise load, thus accelarating the cell apoptosis. With the exercise intensity increasing, the balance between malondialdehyde production and clearance is broken, and the IOD value is increased.

ABSTRACT

Objective • To investigate different methods on the diagnosis of white coat and masked phenomena in ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Methods • Information of clinical characteristics and laboratory data were collected, and measurements of office blood pressure (OBP) and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in 274 subjects were performed, including 46 persons with high normal OBP (SBP/DBP 130-139/85-89 mmHg) (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), 187 untreated patients with grade 1 and grade 2 hypertension (SBP/DBP 140-179/90-109 mmHg), and 41 treated hypertensive patients. Differences of 95th and 5th percentile between OBP and daytime ABP, were respectively taken as the cutoff for the definition of white coat phenomenon and masked phenomenon. Results • If white coat and masked phenomenon were diagnosed according to the current hypertension guidelines, the prevalence of white coat phenomenon did not differ between untreated and treated hypertensive patients (11.2% vs 7.3%, P=0.460). In the untreated group, the prevalence of white coat phenomenon was higher in grade 2 than in grade 1 hypertension (20.0% vs 8.5%, P=0.033), whereas the prevalence of white coat hypertension did not differ (2.2% vs 7.0%, P=0.230). The prevalence of masked hypertension was 73.9% in high normal blood pressure group. The prevalence of masked uncontrolled hypertension was 4.9%. If the difference of 95th percentile (≥20.50/20.50 mmHg) and 5th percentile (≤-18.67/-6.00 mmHg) between OBP and daytime ABP were, respectively, used as the cutoff for the definition of white coat and masked phenomenon, the prevalence of white coat phenomenon did not differ between treated and untreated groups (12.2% vs 9.1%,P=0.543). In the untreated group, the prevalence of white coat phenomenon was higher in grade 2 than in grade 1 hypertension (24.4% vs 4.2%, P=0.000). The prevalence of masked phenomenon did not differ between persons with high normal OBP (15.2%) and untreated (5.9%) as well as treated hypertensive patients (12.2%) (P>0.05). Conclusion • The percentile methods may be useful for the diagnosis of white coat and masked phenomena.

Objective To analyze the changes of serum fatty acid synthase (FAS),carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4) in patients with gastric cancer and its clinical diagnostic value.Methods Forty five patients with gastric cancer and 45 patients with benign gastric cancer treated in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2016 were enrolled in this study.Forty five healthy subjects were enrolled in this study.The levels of FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 in three groups were analyzed.Results The levels of FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 in patients with gasttric cancer [(12.73 ± 5.48) mg/L,(31.36 ± 14.51) ng/ml,and (39.32 ± 18.76) U/ml] were significantly higher than those in benign gastric cancer group [(2.26 ± 1.15) ng/L,(3.24 ± 1.47) ng/ml,and (3.75 ± 1.69) U/ml],and normal control group [(1.83 ± 0.92) mg/L,(2.71 ± 1.54) ng/ml,and (3.13 ± 1.82) U/ml] (P < 0.05).FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 levels in patients with lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer [(13.58 ± 6.09) mg/L,(6.25 ± 11.54) ng/ml,and (41.31 ± 13.67) U/ml] were significantly higher than those without lymph node metastasis [(9.21 ± 5.42) mg/L,(28.38 ± 9.72) ng/ml,and (26.75 ± 11.86) U/ml] (P < 0.05).The sensitivity of FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 in patients with gastric cancer was significantly lower than that in combined detection,the specificity of FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 in patients with gastric cancer was significantly higher than that in combination test (P < 0.05).The sensitivity of FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 in patients with lymph node metastasis was significantly lower than that in combination test,and the specificity of FAS,CEA and CA72-4 was significantly higher than that of combined detection (P < 0.05).Conclusions FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 can be used as indicators of gastric cancer and diagnosis of lymph node metastasis.Combined detection of three indexes can improve the diagnostic sensitivity and have good clinical significance.
