RESUMEN
Purpose To observation the relationship be-tween the β-catenin/Slug signal specific inhibitor FH535 and EMT,and to explore the role of LPCAT1 in regulating the inva-sion,metastasis,and growth of cervical cancer cells.Methods Hela cells were transfected with sh-NC and sh-LPCAT1,and SiHa cells were transfected with Vector group and LPCAT1 over-expression plasmid.SiHa cells were divided into control group(Con),LPCAT1 group,LPCAT1+FH535 group and FH535 group.The proliferation of cervical cancer cells was detected by CCK-8 analysis and colony formation test.The metastasis and invasion ability of cervical cancer cells were detected by wound healing test and Transwell test.Western blot was used to analyze the expression of LPCAT1,β-catenin/Slug signaling pathway and EMT-related proteins in cells.Results Compared with Vector group,the cell viability,colony number,migration and invasion number of SiHa cells in LPCAT1 group increased signif-icantly(P＜0.05).Compared with sh-NC group,the cell via-bility,colony number,migration and invasion number of Hela cells in sh-LPCAT1 group decreased significantly(P＜0.05).Compared with LPCAT1 group,the levels of Wnt4(1.18±0.05 vs 0.80±0.06),β-catenin(1.05±0.08 vs 0.77±0.05),Slug(1.13±0.06 vs 0.28±0.02),Cyclin D1(0.99±0.06 vs 0.44±0.02),N-cadherin(0.91±0.07 vs 0.46±0.03)and vimentin(0.95±0.06 vs 0.49±0.03)in SiHa cells in LPCAT1+FH535 group decreased significantly(P＜0.05),and the level of E-cadherin(0.44±0.03 vs 0.58±0.03)in-creased significantly(P＜0.05).In addition,compared with LPCAT1 group,the number of colonies(224±15 vs 146±11),migration(85±3vs51±4)and invasive(166±10 vs 90±5)cells of SiHa cells in LPCAT1+FH535 group decreased signifi-cantly(P＜0.05).Conclusion The increase of LPCAT1 ex-pression may promote the metastasis and progress of CC by acti-vating β-catenin/Slug signaling pathway,and LPCAT1 may be a potential marker for predicting CC metastasis.
RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze the association between visceral fat area (VFA) and fatty liver based on quantitative CT (QCT) in people receiving health examination with normal body mass index (BMI).Methods:A cross-sectional study. A total of 1 305 physical examiners who underwent chest CT and QCT examination in the Department of Health Management of Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January to December 2021 were retrospectively selected as subjects. The physical components at the central level of the lumbar two cone were measured with QCT, including subcutaneous fat area (SFA), VFA and liver fat content (LFC). And the metabolic indexes, such as blood lipids and blood glucose, were collected. The t-test and χ2 test were used to analyze the correlation between the detection rate of fatty live and LFCr and age and gender. According to level of VFA (<100 cm 2, 100-150 cm 2 and≥150 cm 2), the subjects were divided into three groups, and one-way ANOVA and χ2 test were used in comparison between groups. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between VFA and metabolic indexes and LFC. Results:Of the 1 305 subjects, there were 634 males and 671 females. The detection rate of fatty liver in normal BMI population was 65.67%, and it was 72.71% and 59.02% respectively in men and women ( χ2=27.12, P<0.001), and the detection rate of fatty liver and LFC increased with age (both P<0.05). With the increase of VFA, the age, BMI, SFA, LFC, total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FBG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood uric acid and prevalence of fatty liver increased (all P<0.05), and the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) decreased ( P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that after adjustment for age factors, regardless of male or female, LFC was independently positively related with VFA, BMI, and ALT (male β=0.206, 0.145, 0.174, female β=0.194, 0.150, 0.184; all P<0.05). FBG was positively correlated with male independently ( β=0.134; P<0.001). The indicators related to female independently were TC, TG, and blood uric acid ( β=-0.121, 0.145, 0.141, all P<0.05) Conclusion:In the population receiving health examination with normal BMI, the VFA measured by QCT technique is closely related to fatty liver.

RESUMEN
【Objective】 To investigate the effectiveness of current indicators in initial screening and retest before donation and access the optimal testing strategies. 【Methods】 Data of initial screening (rate method for ALT, colloidal gold method for HBsAg) and retest (rate method for ALT, ELISA for HBsAg) of 18 510 platelet donors in our center from January 2019 to December 2021 were collected, and the results were retrospectively analyzed and compared in terms of different years and number of donations. 【Results】 From 2019 to 2021, data of initial screening and retest of platelet donors were as follows: 1) the deferral rate of ALT and HBsAg was 12.98% (2 403/18 510) vs 0.26%(40/15 412); 2) the deferral rate of ALT was 13.19% (712/5 398) vs 0.20%(9/4 410)in 2019, 13.33% (873/6 549) vs 0.06%(3/5 387)in 2020 and 11.05% (725/6 563) vs 0.07%(4/5 615)in 2021; for initial screening, significant difference was noticed in ALT reactivity in 2021 as in comparison to other two years(P<0.05); 3) the reactive rate of HBsAg was 0.43% (23/5 398) vs 0.18%(8/4 410)in 2019, 0.66% (43/6 549) vs 0.20%(11/5 387)in 2020 and 0.41% (27/6 563) vs 0.09%(5/5, 615) in 2021. For initial screening, HBsAg deferral in 2021 was significantly different from 2019, while similar with 2020. 4) Among ALT deferral samples in the retest, 68.75% (11/16) were ALT≥45 U/L. Among HBsAg reactive samples, 91.67% (22/24) were reactive by single reagent. 【Conclusion】 Setting the threshold value of ALT for platelet donors in initial screening as less than 45 U/L can effectively reduce the reactive rate in the retest. HBsAg screening only for first-time platelet donors can reduce the detection cost. Adding pre-donation detection indicators according to local prevalence of transfusion transmitted diseases is conductive to reduce the discarding rate of platelets.

Objective:To investigate the effects of personalized intermittent energy restriction (IER) diet on sleep related gut microbiome in obese patients.Methods:In this single-arm clinical trial, a total of 35 obese patients who visited Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from April to November 2018 were recruited as research subjects. They underwent a strict 32-day IER diet intervention, divided into 4 stages of 8 days each. Nutritional recipes were formulated and nutritious meals were provided to each obese patient with timed meals, including 55% carbohydrates, 15% protein, and 30% fat per meal. In stages 1, 2, 3, and 4, patients were provided with 2/3, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 of their previous calorie intake every other day, respectively, with meals at 8:00 and 16:00. During the remaining time, patients were allowed unrestricted eating at home. Physiological indicators (weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, waist circumference, hip circumference, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood pressure, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores were observed before and after the intervention. Gut microbiota changes were analyzed using metagenomic sequencing technology, and Spearman′s correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between significantly different bacterial species and PSQI scores.Results:After the intervention, the body weight, body mass index, and PSQI scores of obese patients were all significantly lower than before intervention [(89.92±14.98) vs (97.53±15.67) kg, (31.94±3.95) vs (34.64±4.05) kg/m 2, (3.43±1.16) vs (5.42±2.27)], the abundance of gut microbiota was significantly higher after the intervention (all P<0.05). There were 45 significantly different bacterial species before and after the intervention, of which 6 bacterial species ( Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Odoribacter splanchnicus, Oribacterium sinus, Streptococcus gordonii, and Streptococcus parasanguinis) showed significantly positive correlations with PSQI scores ( r=0.476, 0.475, 0.369, 0.391, 0.401, 0.423) (all P<0.05), and they were mainly enriched in the glutamate and tryptophan synthesis pathways. Conclusions:The personalized IER diet intervention can improve the sleep of obese patients while reducing weight, possibly mediated by changes in gut microbiota through the glutamate and tryptophan pathways.

RESUMEN
One of the hallmarks of placental dysfunction is the increase of oxidative stress. This process, along with the overexpression of the inflammasome, creates a downward spiral that can lead to a series of severe pregnancy complications. Ferroptosis is a form of iron-mediated cell death involving the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxides. In this study, the rats' model of oxidative stress abortion was established, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was used to establish a cellular model of placental oxidative stress. RNAi, western blot, and immunofluorescence were used to evaluate the expression of specific markers of ferroptosis and the expression of the inflammasome in placental trophoblast cells. We observed excessive levels of ferroptosis and inflammasome activation in both rats' model and placental trophoblast cell model of oxidative stress. When the NLRP1 inflammasome was silenced, the expression levels of GSH and Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) were increased, while the expression levels of transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1), acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), and Malondialdehyde (MDA) were decreased. However, when an NLRP1 activator was applied, we observed the opposite phenomenon. We further explored the mechanisms underlying the actions of ferroptosis to inflammasomes. The expression levels of NLRP1, NLRP3, IL-1ß, and caspase-1 were positively correlated with the ferroptosis following the application of ferroptosis inhibitor (ferrostatin-1) and ferroptosis activator (erastin). The existence of ferroptosis was demonstrated in the oxidative stress model of placental trophoblast cells; the results also indicate ferroptosis is linked with the expression of NLRP1 inflammasome. These findings may provide a valuable therapeutic target for the pathogenesis of pregnancy-related diseases.

Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia(IVT), which is a clinical entity without any structural heart disease or definite inducing factors, has a low incidence and a good overall prognosis in children, but long-term episode can lead to hemodynamic collapse or even be life-threatening.According to the origin of IVT, the response to drugs and the morphological characteristics of electrocardiogram, it can be divided into different subtypes whose electrophysiological mechanisms are also different.Besides, these is no guideline for the indications and treatment of IVT.This paper summarizes the electrophysiological mechanisms and progress of treatment of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia in children by reviewing the relevant literatures.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To investigate the value of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level on survived hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) patients treated with artificial liver.@*Methods@#Clinical indicators of HBV-ACLF patients who were previously treated with plasma exchange-based artificial liver at our department were retrospectively collected. The difference of serum AFP level between the survival and the death group was compared at 30, 90 and 180 days after artificial liver treatment. The ROC curves of the subjects were plotted, and the sensitivity and specificity of AFP for the survival prediction of the patients at 30, 90 and 180 days after artificial liver surgery were calculated. AFP was divided into a high AFP group and a low AFP group using median value. AFP and postoperative survival predictive value at 30, 90, and 180 days were analyzed.@*Results@#A total of 93 cases were included in this study. The AFP of the survival group at 30, 90, and 180 days was (231.0 ± 286.2) ng / ml, (237.69 ± 297) ng / ml, (229.44 ± 286.46) ng/ml, and the death group was (76.4 ± 104.7) ng/ml, (103.13 ± 116.99) ng / ml, (136.34 ± 2.9.29) ng/ml, respectively. AFP of the death group was significantly lower than the corresponding survival group (P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses indicated that the area under the curve (AUC) and its 95% confidence interval at 30, 90, and 180 days after artificial liver surgery were 0.739 (0.611 ~ 0.867), 0.675 (0.550 ~ 0.80), 0.653 (0.524 ~ 0.781), respectively. The median serum AFP value was 110 ng/ml, and the survival analysis showed that the survival time of the high AFP group was significantly higher than the low AFP group at 30 d (P = 0.01), 90 d (P = 0.04) and 180 d (P = 0.03) after artificial liver surgery.@*Conclusion@#Serum AFP can be used as a predictor of survival for HBV-ACLF patients after artificial liver therapy and its clinical value needs to be further verified by the larger sample size.

Objective To investigate the effect of high-definition transcranial direct current stimula-tion on visual spatial working memory in patients with schizophrenia. Methods Sixty-six patients with schizophrenia were enrolled in a randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled study. The subjects were ran-domized into a true stimulation group of 33 patients and a placebo control group of 33 patients,each patient only received one stimulation. After receiving a stimulus,the left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe was stimulated by high-precision transcranial direct current. The true stimulation group was stimulated with a current of 1. 5 mA for 20 min. The control group used pseudo-stimulation,and only the current was passed within 30 s of the beginning and the end of the stimulation. Both groups completed the neuropsychological background test and the n-back task before stimulation,and the stimulation was performed after five days. After the stimula-tion,the two groups completed the n-back task again,and compared the Changes in grades to reflect changes in working memory before and after the pseudo-stimulation. Results Before the stimulation,the response rate of the 3-back task was compared with that of the control group ((0. 32±0. 21),(0. 32±0. 22)),the true stimulation group ((0. 28 ± 0. 19), ( 0. 35 ± 0. 21)), and the difference was statistically significant ( F=5. 298,P=0. 025). Conclusion Using high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation to stimulate the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex using can improve the visual memory function of patients. In the future,this technique can be applied to the cognitive promotion of memory impairment in patients with schizophrenia.
RESUMEN
Memory function is the core component of human brain cognition.Memory impairment significantly affects people's daily life and social ability,but existing cognitive training or drug therapy can not effectively improve memory function.In recent years,new techniques and methods have been emerging in brain science research,especially neural regulation techniques,such as transcranial electrical / magnetic stimulation,which can significantly regulate cognitive ability and effectively promote memory function.Transcranial direct current stimulation is a kind of noninvasive and safe technique.It can regulate cerebral cortex activity by changing the cerebral cortex excitability,and play a role in regulating brain function.At present,there have been reports at home and abroad that transcranial direct current stimulation can promote memory function and improve memory effectively.This technique is applied to the diagnosis and treatment of clinical diseases,but its mechanism is not clear.This article reviews the mechanism and application of transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) in promoting different types of memory function in order to provide evidence for early intervention and treatment of memory impairment.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate and compare the effect of two kinds of transparent dressings in the use of fixed intravenous indwelling needle in restless patients in emergency first aid. Methods A total of 160 restless patients who were required to use intravenous indwelling needle were randomly divided into conventional dressing group and 3M dressing group by random digits table method, 80 patients in each group. The medical transparent dressings(Specification:6 cm × 7 cm) were used for the patients of conventional dressing group, and 3M dressings(Specification:6.5 cm×7.0 cm ) for 3M dressing group. The fixity time, number of cases intravenous indwelling needle detached, replaced time of transparent dressing, number of crimping cases were compared. Results For the conventional dressing group, fixity time was (19.67 ± 7.02) h, replaced time was (18.92 ± 6.58) h, 15 detached cases and 24 crimping cases happened. While for the 3M dressing group, fixity time was (41.64±17.79) h, replaced time was (41.11 ± 17.76) h, 4 detached cases and 7 crimping cases happened. The difference was statistically significant(t=-10.27,χ2=7.23, t=-10.48,χ2=11.56, all P<0.05). Conclusions 3M transparent dressing is suggested in fixing intravenous indwelling needle in restless patient in emergency first aid. It can ensure the use of intravenous indwelling needle during the period, effectively prevents the needle from detaching due to its good fixation effect.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the effects of Tongyuan acupuncture combined with herbal medicine and moxibustion on the behavior and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis-related hormone levels in postpartum de-pression rats.To explore the therapeutic mechanism of this method in the treatment of postpartum depression.Meth-ods A total of 120 SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups(n=20).The blank group was not treated.The sham operation group was performed without surgery to remove the ovaries. The model group,drug group,routine acupuncture group and experimental group were established in the model of postpartum depression.After modeling successfully,the model group did not interfere with any treatment. The rats in treatment group were treated with fluoxetine hydrochloride. The acupuncture group was treated with acupuncture of Baihui and Taichong. The rats in the experimental group were treated with the method of acupuncture and moxibustion.At the end of the second and fourth week after the initiation of intervention,10 rats were randomly selected from each group.They were sacrificed and the levels of serum corticotropin-releasing hormone(CRH),adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH),cortisol (Cor)were measured.Results The levels of CRH,ACTH and Cor in the model group were higher than those in the blank group(P<0.05).The levels of serum CRH,ACTH and Cor in the drug group,routine acupuncture group and experimental group were lower than those in the model group(P<0.05).The levels of serum ACTH and Cor in the experimental group were lower than those in the drug group and routine acupuncture group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in serum CRH,ACTH and Cor level between the experimental group and blank group(P >0.05).Conclusions Tongyuan acupuncture combined with salt moxibustion and Shenque have significant effects on the depressive symptoms and serum levels of CRH,ACTH and Cor in postpartum depression rats,which may be re-lated to the regulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis-related hormone levels.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the characteristics of implicit and explicit memory in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and its relationship with obsessive-compulsive symptoms.Methods Thirty-one patients with OCD and thirty healthy participants matched with sex,age,years of education were enrolled in present study.All participants were conducted vocabulary perception speed task and vocabulary recognition task to evaluate the ability of implicit memory and explicit memory toward neutral,positive and moral disgust words.The accuracy and response time during tasks were recorded to index memory performance.The obsessive-compulsive symptoms were assessed with Padovar scale-Washington State University revised edition (PI-WSUR).Results There was significant difference in the response time of implicit memory between two groups ((2 926.63± 1 718.31) ms for OCD group,(2 587.13±1 054.56) ms for controls group,t=0.926,P=0.358).There was significant difference two groups in the accuracy of implicit memory for moral disgust words ((0.607±0.267) for OCD group,(0.777±0.159) for controls group,t=-3.306,P =0.004),positive words ((0.528±0.265) for OCD group,(0.695±0.152) for controls group,t=-3.048,P=0.004) and all words ((0.597±0.248) for OCD group,(0.731±0.145) for controls group,t=-2.582,P=0.013).The response time of explicit memory in OCD group was significantly correlated with PI-WSUR (r=-0.410,P=0.022),OTAHSO (r=-0.470,P=0.008).Conclusion Compared with healthy controls,the implicit memory of OCD patients was impaired,especially the implicit memory of positive emotion words and moral disgust words.There is no correlation between implicit memory and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in OCD patients.Compared with healthy controls,the implicit memory of OCD patients is not impaired,but there is a correlation between explicit memory and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in OCD patients.
RESUMEN
Objective: To describe the study design, the characteristics of participants as well as the pedigrees included in the baseline survey of Fujian Tulou Family Cohort Study. Methods: Fujian Tulou Family Cohort Study was a prospective open cohort study with a biological sample bank. A baseline survey was conducted in Tulou areas of Nanjing county in Fujian province from 2015 to 2018, including questionnaire survey, physical and biochemical indicators examinations, and blood sample collection in adults aged ≥18 years. In addition, family relationship of the participants was also recorded. The pedigree information of the juveniles under 18 years old were also collected. Results: The baseline survey included 2 727 individuals in two clans, of whom 2 373 (87.0%) were adults, and 2 126 participants completed questionnaires, physical examinations and biochemical tests. The average age of the 2 126 participants was (57.9±13.3) years, with 39.4% being males. The current smoking rates in male and female participants were 41.2% and 2.1%, respectively. The corresponding rates of current alcohol consumption were 19.0% and 2.6%. For common chronic diseases, the prevalence rates were 51.3% for hypertension, 9.7% for diabetes and 26.7% for hyperlipemia according to the self-reported disease diagnoses, health examination results and biochemical examination results in class Ⅱ or Ⅲ hospitals. Based on the family relationship information and genealogical data, 710 pedigrees were finally identified, consisting of 5 087 family members. The numbers of five, four, three, and two generations pedigrees were 3, 88, 238 and 381, respectively. The pairs of the first to the fifth degree relatives were 12 039, 2 662, 1 511, 202 and 31, respectively. Conclusion: The establishment of Fujian Tulou Family Cohort provides valuable resources for exploring the genetic risk factors, environmental risk factors and gene-environment interactions contributing to the risk of common chronic diseases.
