The relationship between job stress and job burnout of preschool teachers during the COVID-19: The moderation of perceived organizational support.

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 poses great challenges for preschool teachers in China, which will increase the level of job stress and job burnout, and have an impact on the relationship between job stress, job burnout, and perceived organizational support (POS). However, few studies have examined trilateral relationships, especially the role of POS concerning job stress and job burnout of preschool teachers. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship among the three variables of job burnout, job stress, and POS, as well as explore the moderating effects of POS between job stress and job burnout. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among preschool teachers in six provinces of China. A total of 408 preschool teachers completed a self-report questionnaire, including three scales that measured job burnout, job stress, and POS respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used to examine the relationship among variables. RESULTS: The results showed that job burnout among Chinese preschool teachers was at a medium level during the COVID-19 pandemic. Job stress was positively related to job burnout, and the POS was negatively related to job burnout. Additionally, POS moderated the relationship between job stress and job burnout and alleviated the adverse effects of job stress on the job burnout of preschool teachers. CONCLUSION: POS can play a moderating role between job stress and job burnout of Chinese preschool teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Deep Learning for Discrimination of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Hypertensive Heart Disease on MRI Native T1 Maps.

BACKGROUND: Native T1 and radiomics were used for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and hypertensive heart disease (HHD) differentiation previously. The current problem is that global native T1 remains modest discrimination performance and radiomics requires feature extraction beforehand. Deep learning (DL) is a promising technique in differential diagnosis. However, its feasibility for discriminating HCM and HHD has not been investigated. PURPOSE: To examine the feasibility of DL in differentiating HCM and HHD based on T1 images and compare its diagnostic performance with other methods. STUDY TYPE: Retrospective. POPULATION: 128 HCM patients (men, 75; age, 50 years ± 16) and 59 HHD patients (men, 40; age, 45 years ± 17). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3.0T; Balanced steady-state free precession, phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) and multislice native T1 mapping. ASSESSMENT: Compare HCM and HHD patients baseline data. Myocardial T1 values were extracted from native T1 images. Radiomics was implemented through feature extraction and Extra Trees Classifier. The DL network is ResNet32. Different input including myocardial ring (DL-myo), myocardial ring bounding box (DL-box) and the surrounding tissue without myocardial ring (DL-nomyo) were tested. We evaluate diagnostic performance through AUC of ROC curve. STATISTICAL TESTS: Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, ROC, and AUC were calculated. Independent t test, Mann-Whitney U-test and Chi-square test were adopted for HCM and HHD comparison. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: DL-myo, DL-box, and DL-nomyo models showed an AUC (95% confidential interval) of 0.830 (0.702-0.959), 0.766 (0.617-0.915), 0.795 (0.654-0.936) in the testing set. AUC of native T1 and radiomics were 0.545 (0.352-0.738) and 0.800 (0.655-0.944) in the testing set. DATA CONCLUSION: The DL method based on T1 mapping seems capable of discriminating HCM and HHD. Considering diagnostic performance, the DL network outperformed the native T1 method. Compared with radiomics, DL won an advantage for its high specificity and automated working mode. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 2.

Mechanism of Zishen Qinggan Prescription in Improving Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetes Based on Transcriptomics / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveBased on network pharmacology and transcriptomics， the mechanism of Zishen Qinggan prescription （ZSQGF） in improving glucose and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetes （T2DM） model rats was explored. MethodBased on network pharmacology analysis of the differential genes between ZSQGF and T2DM， gene ontology（GO）analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes（KEGG） analysis were conducted， and molecular docking analysis was used to verify the binding between components and targets. A T2DM rat model was established by high-fat feeding and injection of streptozotocin （STZ）. The rats were randomly divided into the control group， model group， metformin （Met， 72 mg·kg-1） group， and ZSQGF high-， medium-， and low-dose groups （ZSQGF-H， ZSQGF-M， and ZSQGF-L， with 4.8， 2.4， and 1.2 g·kg-1 raw drug in the solution）. The living status of rats was monitored and the levels of total cholesterol （TC）， total triglycerides （TG）， high density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， and alanine aminotransferase （ALT） in rat serum were detected. The liver tissues were subjected to Hematoxylin eosin（HE） staining and oil red O staining. The differential genes were analyzed through transcriptomics， GO and KEGG analysis， and the protein-protein interaction（PPI） network was obtained to screen key targets. With network pharmacology and transcriptomics analysis results， the protein pathways were identified. The expression levels of nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）， matrix metalloproteinase（MMP）-1 and MMP-9 proteins in liver tissues were detected by Western blot. The mRNA expression of B-cell lymphoma-2（Bcl-2） modifying factor（BMF）， nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate （NADPH） oxidase 4 （NOX4）， and fatty acid synthase（FASN） was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）. The expression of MMP-1 and MMP-9 in the liver was detected by immunofluorescence staining. ResultTranscriptomics and network pharmacology analysis suggested that ZSQGF may protect the liver through the glucose and lipid metabolism pathway and the inflammation pathway. Experiments showed that after 8 weeks of administration， the body weight， blood sugar， serum indicators， and pathological staining results of rats were improved. Western blot results indicated a decrease in the relative expression levels of NF-κB， MMP-1 and MMP-9 proteins in the liver. Real-time PCR results showed a decrease in the transcriptional expression of BMF， NOX4， and FASN in the ZSQGF-H group， while immunofluorescence staining results present decreased expression of MMP-1 and MMP-9 in the ZSQGF groups. ConclusionZSQGF can improve the glucose and lipid metabolism by inhibiting the expression of FASN， reducing lipid synthesis， and regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Jianpi Qutan Fang induces anti-atherosclerosis and ameliorates endothelial cell injury in high-fat diet ratsan anti-inflammatory and inhibiting Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE: To investiage the possible mechanism underlying the effect of the Jianpi Qutan Fang (, JPQT) on Atherosclerosis (AS) which is the main pathological process of most cardiovascular diseases that affect millions of adults worldwide. METHODS: In the present study, rats were fed with a high-fat-diet (HFD) with vitamin D3 for 16 weeks and were orally administered atorvastatin treatment and different doses of JPQT. Histopathological changes and ultrastructural changes in the aorta were evaluated through hematoxylin-eosin staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1)/Janus kinase 1 (JAK1)/ signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) signaling pathways were detected through Western blotting. RESULTS: JPQT treatment decreased the lipid levels of triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, and cholesterol, the inflammatory cytokine levels of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1ß), IL-6 and IL-8 in rat serum, but increased high-density lipoprotein and IL-10 serum levels. JPQT treatment ameliorated pathological changes in the aorta of AS model rats. Moreover, JPQT upregulated SOCS1 protein expression and down-regulated phosphorylated protein expression levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT1. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that JPQT induces anti-atherosclerosis effects through anti-inflammatory and inhibiting JAK/STAT signaling pathways in HFD fed rats.

Extremely hair follicle density is associated with a significantly different cecal microbiota in rex rabbits.

It has become increasingly clear that gut microbiota and skin are interconnected since the discovery of the 'gut-brain-skin' axis. Hair follicles (HFs) are skin microorganisms, but few studies have investigated their relationship to gut microbiota. Hence, we hypothesize that HFs have a close relationship with the gut, similarly to what was reported for the skin. Using rex rabbits as an animal model, one hundred healthy half-sibling rex rabbits were selected for the experiment, and 16 s rRNA gene sequencing was performed on the cecal microbiota of nine rabbits with the extremely high (HS) and low (LS) hair density (n = 9 per group) to determine differences between the composition and function of these communities. In comparison with the LS group, several alpha diversity index values were significantly lower in the HS group, although the higher variation in species composition in the HS group. Additionally, species diversity and abundance differed significantly in the cecum microbiota of HS and LS rabbits. Further, primary and secondary HF density was significantly correlated with the families Muribaculaceae and Bacteroidaceae, and genera Blautia, Bacteroides and Desulfovibrio. In particular, Muribaculaceae, Bacteroidaceae, Blautia and Bacteroides may support the development of HFs. Moreover, the expression of WNT4, WNT10a, WNT10b, CTNNB1 (ß-catenin) and LEF1 in the skin was significantly higher in the HS group compared with the LS group. Altogether, the results of this study suggest that the extremely high density of HF in rabbits is associated with a significantly different microbiota diversity and community structure, and the Wnt/ß-catenin signalling pathway was activated in the HS group. Thus, key bacteria may promote the development of HF.

Stage-specific and location-specific cartilage calcification in osteoarthritis development.

OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the stage-specific and location-specific deposition and characteristics of minerals in human osteoarthritis (OA) cartilages via multiple nano-analytical technologies. METHODS: Normal and OA cartilages were serially sectioned for micro-CT, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution electron energy loss spectrometry with transmission electron microscopy, nanoindentation and atomic force microscopy to analyse the structural, compositional and mechanical properties of cartilage in OA progression. RESULTS: We found that OA progressed by both top-down calcification at the joint surface and bottom-up calcification at the osteochondral interface. The top-down calcification process started with spherical mineral particle formation in the joint surface during early-stage OA (OA-E), followed by fibre formation and densely packed material transformation deep into the cartilage during advanced-stage OA (OA-A). The bottom-up calcification in OA-E started when an excessive layer of calcified tissue formed above the original calcified cartilage, exhibiting a calcified sandwich structure. Over time, the original and upper layers of calcified cartilage fused, which thickened the calcified cartilage region and disrupted the cartilage structure. During OA-E, the calcified cartilage was hypermineralised, containing stiffer carbonated hydroxyapatite (HAp). During OA-A, it was hypomineralised and contained softer HAp. This discrepancy may be attributed to matrix vesicle nucleation during OA-E and carbonate cores during OA-A. CONCLUSIONS: This work refines our current understanding of the mechanism underlying OA progression and provides the foothold for potential therapeutic targeting strategies once the location-specific cartilage calcification features in OA are established.

Enzyme production mechanism of anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. YF3 in yak rumen induced by different carbon source / 生物工程学报

In order to investigate the enzyme production mechanism of yak rumen-derived anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. YF3 under the induction of different carbon sources, anaerobic culture tubes were used for in vitro fermentation. 8 g/L of glucose (Glu), filter paper (Flp) and avicel (Avi) were respectively added to 10 mL of basic culture medium as the sole carbon source. The activity of fiber-degrading enzyme and the concentration of volatile fatty acid in the fermentation liquid were detected, and the enzyme producing mechanism of Orpinomyces sp. YF3 was explored by transcriptomics. It was found that, in glucose-induced fermentation solution, the activities of carboxymethyl cellulase, microcrystalline cellulase, filter paper enzyme, xylanase and the proportion of acetate were significantly increased (P < 0.05), the proportion of propionate, butyrate, isobutyrate were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The results of transcriptome analysis showed that there were 5 949 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the Glu group and the Flp group, 10 970 DEGs between the Glu group and the Avi group, and 6 057 DEGs between the Flp group and the Avi group. It was found that the DEGs associated with fiber degrading enzymes were significantly up-regulated in the Glu group. Gene ontology (GO) function enrichment analysis identified that DEGs were mainly associated with the xylan catabolic process, hemicellulose metabolic process, β-glucan metabolic process, cellulase activity, endo-1,4-β-xylanase activity, cell wall polysaccharide metabolic process, carbohydrate catabolic process, glucan catabolic process and carbohydrate metabolic process. Moreover, the differentially expressed pathways associated with fiber degrading enzymes enriched by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were mainly starch and sucrose metabolic pathways and other glycan degradation pathways. In conclusion, Orpinomyces sp. YF3 with glucose as carbon source substrate significantly increased the activity of cellulose degrading enzyme and the proportion of acetate, decreased the proportion of propionate, butyrate and isobutyrate. Furthermore, the degradation ability and energy utilization efficiency of fungus in the presence of glucose were improved by means of regulating the expression of cellulose degrading enzyme gene and participating in starch and sucrose metabolism pathway, and other glycan degradation pathways, which provides a theoretical basis for the application of Orpinomyces sp. YF3 in practical production and facilitates the application of Orpinomyces sp. YF3 in the future.

Research Progress of GABA Receptors in Alzheimer’s Disease / 中国生物化学与分子生物学报

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with the early symptom of A β plaque, tau hyperphosphorylation neuronal tangle formation in cells. At present, accumulated evidence shows that the changes of GABA receptors are closely related to AD. Some studies have shown that the expression level of each subunit of the GABA receptor changes in AD patients. Therefore, it is speculated that the changes of GABA subunits may be related to the pathogenesis of AD, but there is no better methods to improve AD by targeting GABA receptors. In order to further understand the relationship between the changes of GABA receptors and AD, this paper first reviewed the changes of GABA receptors in AD patients and animal models’ brains and found that there was differential expression in GABA(A) receptor subunits in AD patients. Then we summarized the changes of GABA receptor subunits in Alzheimer database. Based on the data, we found that a few GABA subunits had significant changes. The evidence shows that the change of GABA receptors alters the neural activity in the brain. Other studies have found that the treatment of mice with GABA receptor agonists and antagonists can improve the cognitive ability of mice. We hope that understanding the differential expression of GABA receptors in AD will provide a more accurate target for the treatment of AD.
