Objective : To investigate the protective effect of dimethyl fumarate(DMF) on maternal intrahepatic cholestasis(ICP) during pregnancy induced by di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(DEHP) exposure and its mechanism. Methods : Thirty-two 8-week-old female institute of cancer research(ICR) mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: Ctrl group, DEHP group, DMF group and DEHP+DMF group. DEHP and DEHP+DMF groups were treated with DEHP(200 mg/kg) by gavage every morning at 9:00 a.m. DMF and DEHP+DMF groups were treated with DMF(150 mg/kg) from day 13 to day 16 of gestation by gavage. After completion of gavage on day 16 of pregnancy, maternal blood, maternal liver, placenta, and amniotic fluid were collected from pregnant mice after a six-hour abrosia. The body weight of the mother rats and the body weight of the fetus rats were sorted and analyzed; the levels of total bile acid(TBA), alkaline phosphatase(ALP), aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase(AST/ALT) in serum and TBA in liver, amniotic fluid and placenta were detected by biochemical analyzer; HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of liver tissue; Quantitative reverse transcription PCR(RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-6, IL-1, IL-18 and NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3) in the liver; Western blot was used to detect the expression of the nuclear factor KappaB(NF-κB) and NLRP3. Results : Compared with the control group, the body weight of the DEHP-treated dams and pups decreased(P<0.05); the levels of TBA, ALP, AST/ALT in the serum of dams and the levels of TBA in the liver, amniotic fluid, and placenta of dams increased(P<0.05); the histopathological results showed that liver tissue was damaged, bile ducts were deformed, and there was inflammatory cell infiltration around them; the levels of inflammation-related factors TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1, IL-18 and NLRP3 transcription in maternal liver increased(P<0.05); the expression of NF-κB and NLRP3 protein in maternal liver significantly increased( P<0. 05). Compared with the DEHP group,the body weight of both dams and fetuses significantly increased in DEHP + DMF group( P<0. 05); the levels of TBA,ALP,AST/ALT in the serum of dams and amniotic fluid of fetuses decreased( P<0. 05); the degree of liver lesions was improved; the transcription levels of inflammation-related factors TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1,IL-18 and NLRP3 in maternal liver decreased( P<0. 05); the expression of NF-κB and NLRP3 protein in maternal liver significantly decreased( P<0. 05). Conclusion DMF can effectively protect the DEHP exposure to lead to female ICP,and its mechanism may be through inhibiting the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway and reducing liver inflammation.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease caused by abnormal synchronous discharge of the brain, which is characterized by recurrent and transient neurological abnormalities, mainly manifested as loss of consciousness and limb convulsions, and can occur in people of all ages. At present, anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) are still the main means of treatment, but their efficacy is limited by the problem of drug resistance, and long-term use can cause serious side effects, such as cognitive dysfunction and vital organ damage. Although surgical resection of epileptic lesions has achieved certain results in some patients, the high cost and potential risk of neurological damage limit its scope of application. Therefore, the development of safe, accurate and personalized non-invasive treatment strategies has become one of the key directions of epilepsy research. In recent years, photobiomodulation (PBM) has gained significant attention as a promising non-invasive therapeutic approach. PBM uses light of specific wavelengths to penetrate tissues and interact with photosensitive molecules within cells, thereby modulating cellular metabolic processes. Research has shown that PBM can enhance mitochondrial function, promote ATP production, improve meningeal lymphatic drainage, reduce neuroinflammation, and stimulate the growth of neurons and synapses. These biological effects suggest that PBM not only holds the potential to reduce the frequency of seizures but also to improve the metabolic state and network function of neurons, providing a novel therapeutic avenue for epilepsy treatment. Compared to traditional treatment methods, PBM is non-invasive and avoids the risks associated with surgical interventions. Its low risk of significant side effects makes it particularly suitable for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, offering new therapeutic options for those who have not responded to conventional treatments. Furthermore, PBM’s multi-target mechanism enables it to address a variety of complex etiologies of epilepsy, demonstrating its potential in precision medicine. In contrast to therapies targeting a single pathological mechanism, PBM’s multifaceted approach makes it highly adaptable to different types of epilepsy, positioning it as a promising supplementary or alternative treatment. Although animal studies and preliminary clinical trials have shown positive outcomes with PBM, its clinical application remains in the exploratory phase. Future research should aim to elucidate the precise mechanisms of PBM, optimize light parameters, such as wavelength, dose, and frequency, and investigate potential synergistic effects with other therapeutic modalities. These efforts will be crucial for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of PBM and ensuring its safety and consistency in clinical settings. This review summarizes the types of epilepsy, diagnostic biomarkers, the advantages of PBM, and its mechanisms and potential applications in epilepsy treatment. The unique value of PBM lies not only in its multi-target therapeutic effects but also in its adaptability to the diverse etiologies of epilepsy. The combination of PBM with traditional treatments, such as pharmacotherapy and neuroregulatory techniques, holds promise for developing a more comprehensive and multidimensional treatment strategy, ultimately alleviating the treatment burden on patients. PBM has also shown beneficial effects on neural network plasticity in various neurodegenerative diseases. The dynamic remodeling of neural networks plays a critical role in the pathogenesis and treatment of epilepsy, and PBM’s multi-target mechanism may promote brain function recovery by facilitating neural network remodeling. In this context, optimizing optical parameters remains a key area of research. By adjusting parameters such as wavelength, dose, and frequency, researchers aim to further enhance the therapeutic effects of PBM while maintaining its safety and stability. Looking forward, interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly in the fields of neuroscience, optical engineering, and clinical medicine, will drive the development of PBM technology and facilitate its transition from laboratory research to clinical application. With the advancement of portable devices, PBM is expected to provide safer and more effective treatments for epilepsy patients and make a significant contribution to personalized medicine, positioning it as a critical component of precision therapeutic strategies.

Purpose: Food freshness may influence the healthy eating choices of consumers. This study aimed to examine whether self-reported market food freshness moderates the relationships between the three major constructs of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the intention for healthy eating among Chinese adults. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in 2019 among 408 Chinese adults aged 18–64 years residing in Shanghai and parts of the Anhui Province, using a previously validated questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was applied to examine the moderating effects of market food freshness. Results: Based on a single subjective measure, 42.9% of the participants perceived market food freshness as low, and 57.1% perceived it as high. In the unconstrained model, perceived behavioral control (PBC) showed positive relationships with both short-term and long-term intentions for healthy eating (p < 0.001). Among participants reporting lower market food freshness, the relationship between PBC and short-term intention remained significant (p < 0.001), and the relationship between short-term and long-term intentions became significant (p = 0.042). However, among participants reporting higher market food freshness, PBC maintained significant relationships with short-term (p < 0.001) and longterm (p = 0.028) intentions, and the relationship between subjective norms and short-term intention became significant (p = 0.013). The moderating effect of market food freshness was significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion Market food freshness may moderate the relationships between the TPB constructs and the intentions for healthy eating in Chinese adults. These findings highlight the importance of developing tailored, region-specific strategies to enhance healthy eating behaviors among the Chinese population, accounting for disparities in resource availability and contextual differences. Further research should examine the underlying mechanisms driving regional variations in these associations.

Methods: Seventy-five patients with atlas fracture were included from January 2015 to December 2020. Based on the anatomy of the fracture line, atlas fractures were divided into three types. Each type was divided into two subtypes according to the fracture displacement. Unweighted Cohen kappa coefficients were applied to evaluate the reliability and reproducibility. Results: According to the new classification, 17 cases of type A1, 12 of type A2, seven of type B1, 13 of type B2, 12 of type C1, and 14 of type C2 were identified. The K-values of the interobserver and intraobserver reliability were 0.846 and 0.912, respectively, for the new classification. The K-values of interobserver reliability for types A, B, and C were 0.843, 0.799, and 0.898, respectively. The K-values of intraobserver reliability for types A, B, and C were 0.888, 0.910, and 0.935, respectively. The mean K-values of the interobserver and intraobserver reliability for subtypes were 0.687 and 0.829, respectively. Conclusions The new classification of atlas fractures can cover nearly all atlas fractures. This system is the first to evaluate the severity of fractures based on the C1 articular facet and fracture displacement and strengthen the anatomy ring of the atlas. It is concise, easy to remember, reliable, and reproducible.

Objective To analyze the relationship between MyD88L265P and CD79B mutations in tumor tissue and the prognosis of primary central nervous system lymphoma(PCNSL).Methods 18 PCNSL patients with normal immune function(no history of HIV infection and immunosuppressants administration)who were diagnosed by craniotomy or stereotaxic biopsy in the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from August 2018 to November 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Real-time quantitative PCR and first-generation sequencing techniques were respectively used to detect MyD88L265P and CD79B mutations in tumor tissues of 18 PCNSL patients.Univariate analysis and Cox regression multivariate analysis were performed for indicators that may be associated with first progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival in PCNSL.Results The mutation rate of MyD88L265P was 38.9%,the mutation rate of CD79B was 33.3%,and the co-mutation rate of MyD88L265P/CD79B was 27.8%in PCNSL tissue of 18 patients.Univariate analysis showed that the PCNSL patients with multiple lesions,deep involvement of lesions,and tissue CD79B mutation had a statistically significant shorter time of PFS(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that deep lesion involvement(HR=0.135,95%CI 0.023-0.799,P<0.05)and CD79B mutation(HR=0.149,95%CI 0.028-0.800,P<0.05)in PCNSL tissue were independent prognostic factors for PCNSL patients.Conclusion The frequency of MyD88L265P and CD79B mutations was high in tumor tissues of 18 PCNSL patients,and these two gene mutations may be associated with poor prognosis of PCNSL,especially CD79B mutation.

Objective To discuss the effect of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway regulated by microRNA-155(miRNA-155)targeted protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 21(PTPN21)on the proliferation,migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cells.Methods Lentivirus transfection was used to silence the expression of miRNA-155 in human Huh7 HCC cells,and real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was used to detect the silencing effect of miR-155.After obtaining stable cell lines,the cell lines were randomly divided into Blank group(normal Huh7 cells),shNC group(Huh7 cells+empty miR-155 vector),sh-miR-155(Huh7 cells+miR-155 silencing),sh-miR-155+Recilisib group(Huh7 cells+miR-155 silencing+PI3K-AKT agonist),shNC+Recilisib group(Huh7 cells+empty miR-155 vector+PI3K-AKT agonist).Dual luciferase assay was used to determine whether PTPN21 was the downstream of miR-155.The cell proliferation ability of cells in each group was detected by MTT assay.The apoptosis level of each group was tested by flow cytometry.The invasion and migration ability of cells was assessed by Transwell assay.Western blot analysis was used to observe the differences in protein expression of PTPN21,PI3K,P-PI3K,AKT,P-AKT,and apoptosis-related proteins including BAX,BCL-2 and caspase-3 in all groups.Results The expression level of miR-155 in sh-miR-155 group was lower than that in Blank group and shNC group(P＜0.000 1),and the difference in miR-155 expression level between Blank group and shNC group was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).MTT results showed that A values of Huh7 cells at 2,3,4 and 5 day in sh-miR-155 group were lower than those in Blank group and shNC group(P＜0.000 1),while these differences between Blank group and shNC group were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).In sh-miR-155 group the A values at 2,3,4 and 5 day were lower than those in sh-miR-155+Recilisib group and shNC+Recilisib group(P=0.0052 and P＜0.0001,respectively),while the A values at 2,3,4 and 5 day in sh-miR-155+Recilisib were lower than those in shNC+Recilisib group(P＜0.000 1).There was no significant differences in cell migration and number of invasion cells between the Blank group and shNC group(P＞0.05).After activation of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway,the migration and invasion capacity of HCC cells in the shNC+Recilisib group were significantly enhanced when compared with the Blank group(P＜0.000 1).In contrast,the number of migrated and invaded Huh7 cells after miR-155 silencing was significantly lower than that in the Blank group and shNC group(P＜0.000 1)and this phenomenon became reversed by PI3K agonist.Compared with the sh-miR-155 group,in the sh-miR-155+Recilisib group the migration and invasion ability of HCC cells was enhanced(P=0.000 2).Lentiviral transfection of Huh7 human HCC cells to silence miR-155 and downregulate miR-155 inhibiting PTPN21 regulation of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway,thus inhibiting the invasion,migration and proliferation ability of HCC cells and promoting the apoptosis of HCC cells.Conclusion miR-155 inhibits the migration,invasion and proliferation of HCC cells through targeting PTPN21 regulation of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.The miR-155 may be a potential therapeutic target for HCC in the future.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,32:44-51)
