Coronary heart disease （CHD） has a distinct circadian rhythmicity in its onset， which is closely related to the waxing and waning of qi and blood in the channel passages of the human body. Grounded in the circadian rhythm theory of "correspondence between heaven and humankind"， this paper explores the pathogenic evolution rules of qi-blood disharmony， channel obstruction， interacting as cause and effect with circadian rhythm disorders in CHD. Clinically， CHD can be observed to attack in the early morning， at night， in the afternoon， and at fixed or unfixed circadian intervals. The pathogenesis rhythms at different time nodes can correspondingly reflect the susceptibility tendencies and pathological stress responses of the human body to core pathogeneses such as yang deficiency with cold congelation， yin deficiency with yang floating， qi and yin deficiency， and liver constraint with qi stagnation under specific temporal states. Treatment should be adapted to the season and time， regulating yin and yang in accordance with biological rhythms. It is recommended to regulate qi during the daytime by promoting ascending and dispersing to unblock the channel passages， and select the appropriate timing for administration to harness natural timing. At the Mao （卯） hour， yang ascends while yin descends， and taking medication at this time conforms to the ascending of yang qi. At the Wu （午） hour， the heart meridian is active， and taking medication at this time warms the channel passages and assists heart yang， which can be treated with modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction （补中益气汤） or Shengyang Yiwei Decoction （升阳益胃汤）. At night， blood should be harmonized， when the channel passages are unblocked through nourishing， restraining， and searching， with Lianmei Decoction （连梅汤） combined with Dahuang Zhechong Pill （大黄䗪虫丸）. Following the temporal rhythm， the focus is put on the transitional time of day and night and the four seasons to treat disease before it arises， resonating and corresponding with the natural rhythm.

The Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) control natural killer (NK) cells development and cytotoxic functions, however, whether long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in this pathway remains unknown. We found that miR155HG was elevated in activated NK cells and promoted their proliferation and effector functions in both NK92 and induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived NK (iPSC-NK) cells, without reliance on its derived miR-155 and micropeptide P155. Mechanistically, miR155HG bound to miR-6756 and relieved its repression of JAK3 expression, thereby promoting the JAK-STAT pathway and enhancing NK cell proliferation and function. Further investigations disclosed that upon cytokine stimulation, STAT3 directly interacts with miR155HG promoter and induces miR155HG transcription. Collectively, we identify a miR155HG-mediated positive feedback loop of the JAK-STAT signaling. Our study will also provide a power target regarding miR155HG for improving NK cell generation and effector function in the field of NK cell adoptive transfer therapy against cancer, especially iPSC-derived NK cells.

Objective : To analyze the mediating effect of psychological resilience between occupational stress and job burnout of medical staff, so as to provide the reference for improving job burnout of medical staff. Methods: The front-line medical staff from four tertiary general hospitals in a joint logistics support center were selected as the research objects from April to June 2022 using the convenience sampling method. The data on gender, age, professional title, and working years were collected by a questionnaire survey. Occupational stress, psychological resilience, and job burnout were evaluated using the Job Stressors Scale, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory, respectively. The mediating effect of psychological resilience between occupational stress and job burnout was analyzed using the Process procedure, and the significance of the mediating effect was analyzed using the Bootstrap method. Results: A total of 383 people were investigated, among whom 370 were females (96.61%), and 13 were males (3.39%), with a mean age of (28.97±6.56) years. The scores of occupational stress, psychological resilience, and job burnout were (347.17±157.98), (87.18±13.17), and (56.07±17.09) points, respectively. The results of mediating effect analysis showed that occupational stress could directly positively affect job burnout with a direct effect value of 0.061 (95%CI: 0.004-0.119), and it could also indirectly positively affect job burnout through psychological resilience with a mediating effect value of 0.035 (95%CI: 0.002-0.122), and the mediating effect accounted for 57.38% of the total effect. Conclusions Occupational stress can directly or indirectly affect job burnout through psychological resilience. It is suggested to strengthen the mental health training of medical staff to improve psychological resilience and reduce job burnout.

OBJECTIVE To compare the anti-hepatitis mechanisms of Abrus pulchellus subsp. cantoniensis （Hance） Verdc. （AC） and Abrus pulchellus subsp. mollis（Hance） Verdc. （AM）. METHODS SD rats were randomly divided into blank group， AC- treated group， and AM-treated group， with each group consisting of 10 rats. The rats’ orbital venous blood was collected at 5， 15， 30 minutes， and 1， 1.5， 2， 4， 6， 8， 12 hours after gavage administration of 24 g/kg of the corresponding drug （calculated by crude drug） or water， respectively. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry technology was utilized to identify the prototype components present in the serum. The network pharmacology method was adopted to predict the anti-hepatitis active components， key targets， and signaling pathways of AC and AM. Additionally， molecular docking technology was utilized to verify the binding activity of the core active components with key targets. RESULTS A total of 35 prototype components migrating to the blood of AC and AM were identified in the serum of administered rats， among which 24 were common components. The active components in AC， such as acetylanguidine， physcion， soyasaponin A3 and soyasaponin Ⅰ， as well as those in AM， including vicenin 3， acetylanguidine，soyasaponin Ⅰ and schaftoside， all acted on key targets such as steroid receptor coactivator， phosphatidylinositol-4，5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha， epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR）， and protein kinase B1（Akt1）. These components modulated pathways in cancer， EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance， and the phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K） -Akt pathway， thereby exerting anti-hepatitis effects. Furthermore， the binding energies between these active components and their key targets were all less than －5 kJ/mol. CONCLUSIONS There are differences in the active components of AC and AM against hepatitis， but their mechanisms of action are similar. Both may exert their anti-hepatitis effects through pathways in cancer， EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance， and the PI3K-Akt pathway.

Objective: To analyze the association of sedentary types with symptom of depressive and anxiety among college freshmen, so as to provide a reference for improving the mental health of college students. Methods: From October to November 2022, all college freshmen at three colleges and universities in Anhui Province were selected by a cluster sampling method. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Youth Leisure-Time Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (YLSBQ) were used for the investigation. A binary Logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship of different types of sedentary behavior with anxiety and depressive symptom. Results: The detection rates of anxiety and depressive symptom among college freshmen were 32.8% and 49.9%, respectively. The results of the binary Logistic regression model analysis showed that after controlling for gender, family location, parental education level, self rated family economic status and number of intimate partners, high level overall, video based, and social based sedentary time were associated with an increased risk of anxiety ( OR =1.26, 1.56, 1.27) and depressive symptom ( OR =1.42, 1.94, 1.29) among college freshmen; the association between moderate level sedentary time and depressive symptom was statistically significant ( OR =0.83) (all P <0.05). The overall trends of the association between sedentary behavior with symptom of anxiety and depressive were similar in both boys and girls. Conclusions Sedentary behavior is associated with an increased risk of anxiety and depressive symptom in college students. Reducing video based and social based sedentary behaviors is beneficial for mental health promotion in college students.

Objective·To evaluate the detection efficacy and clinical value of non-invasive prenatal testing(NIPT)for identifying copy number variations(CNVs)in the recurrent 17p12 region,including the peripheral myelin protein 22(PMP22)gene.Methods·Pregnant women who underwent NIPT in the International Peace Maternity & Child Health Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine between July 2020 and April 2024 were enrolled.Clinical data of individuals indicated as high-risk for microdeletions/duplications in the 17p12 region based on NIPT results were collected.Follow-up was conducted to assess the results of subsequent prenatal diagnosis and chromosomal microarray analysis(CMA)performed on peripheral blood from both the pregnant women and their husband.The positive predictive value(PPV)of NIPT for detecting microdeletions/duplications in the 17p 12 region,as well as the underlying causes of false positives,was analyzed.Pregnancy outcomes and related clinical phenotypes of fetuses and pregnant women diagnosed with 17p12 CNVs were followed up.Results·A total of 61 858 pregnant women underwent NIPT testing.NIPT identified 24 cases(0.04％)as high-risk for CNVs in the 17p12 region,including six cases of high-risk 17p12 microduplication and 18 cases of high-risk 17p12 microdeletion.All 24 pregnant women received genetic counseling,and 21(87.50％)underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis.Invasive prenatal diagnostic confirmed four fetuses with 17p12 microduplications,nine fetuses with 17p12 microdeletions,and eight fetuses with no abnormalities,yielding a PPV of 61.90％(13/21).CMA analysis of maternal peripheral blood in the eight false-positive cases revealed that all mothers carried 17p12 CNVs.Further analysis of pregnant women with NIPT-indicated maternal CNVs revealed that all of them carried relevant CNVs.Among the 20 women with successful follow-up,the majority had normal deliveries,with only one case choosing to terminate the pregnancy due to a de-novo fetal 17p12 microduplication.Normally delivered fetuses(average age:1.5 years)were followed up without reporting any significant abnormalities.Of the 16 pregnant women carrying 17p12 CNVs,only two exhibited clinical phenotypes associated with these CNVs,while the others remained asymptomatic.Conclusion·NIPT demonstrates favorable detection efficacy for CNVs in the 17p12 region.Maternal CNVs are the primary cause of false-positive NIPT results for this region.

Objective:To investigate the effect of atosiban on hemodynamic parameters of uterine arteries and clinical effect evaluation in patients with previous implantation failure undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze 298 cycles of FET in the Department of Reproductive Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to June 2023. Patients were categorized into atosiban group ( n=149) and control group ( n=149) according to whether administered atosiban or not. The related indicators and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. Hemodynamic parameters of the uterine arteries, including bilateral uterine artery peak systolic velocity/diastolic velocity (S/D), pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), and serum levels of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and oxytocin were compared before and after atosiban treatment. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were applied to assess the effect of atosiban on pregnancy outcomes. The effect of atosiban on live birth rate was analyzed by age stratification. Results:The implantation rate [51.92% (135/260)], the clinical pregnancy rate [67.11% (100/149)] and the live birth rate [59.06% (88/149)] in atosiban group were significantly higher than those in control group [41.13% (102/248), P=0.015; 51.01% (76/149), P=0.005; 40.27% (60/149), P=0.001]; and the early miscarriage rate [9.00% (9/100)] was lower than that of control group [19.74% (15/76), P=0.040]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that atosiban was an independent influencing factor of live birth rate ( OR=2.236, 95% CI: 1.371-3.646, P=0.001). The post-treatment right uterine artery blood flow S/D [4.61 (4.00, 5.36)], PI [1.81 (1.58, 2.05)], RI [0.79 (0.75, 0.82)], and left uterine artery blood flow S/D [4.62 (3.83, 5.61)], PI (1.84±0.38), RI [0.79 (0.74, 0.82)] were all lower than those before treatment [right S/D 4.93 (4.06, 6.04), P<0.001; PI 1.93 (1.60, 2.17), P=0.001; RI 0.80 (0.76, 0.83), P<0.001; left S/D 5.05 (4.20, 6.32), P<0.001; PI 1.95±0.43, P<0.001; RI 0.81 (0.76, 0.84), P<0.001]. Besides, the levels of PGF2α [97.01 (85.15, 109.93) ng/L] and oxytocin [41.18 (37.16, 46.78) ng/L] after treatment in atosiban group were significantly lower than those before treatment [119.71 (108.85, 129.99) ng/L, P<0.001; 51.87 (46.44, 55.54) ng/L, P<0.001). Moreover, the endometrial peristalsis waves in atosiban group were significantly less after treatment [1.00 (0.00, 2.00) times/min] than before treatment [2.00 (1.00, 3.00) times/min], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Conclusion:Atosiban can improve uterine artery blood flow and reduce endometrial peristalsis waves in women with previous implantation failure, which increases endometrial blood perfusion. Additionally, it can also reduce the levels of PGF2α and oxytocin, and optimize the pregnancy outcome of the frozen-thawed embryo transfer.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of intrauterine perfusion of umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (UCB-MNCs) on thin endometrium.Methods:SPF-grade Kunming mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected. A mouse model of thin endometrium was established by infusing 95% ethanol into the uterine cavity for a duration of 5 min. Using a completely randomized grouping method, 40 female mice with regular estrous cycles were randomly divided into four groups: untreated group (no intervention, n=10), sham-operated group (operation without modeling, n=10), experimental group (intrauterine infusion of UCB-MNCs during estrus after one estrous cycle post-modeling, n=10) and negative control group (intrauterine infusion of saline during estrus after one estrous cycle post-modeling, n=10). Following the administration of UCB-MNCs or physiological saline, all groups' uterine tissues were collected two estrous cycles later during their respective estrus phases. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to assess endometrial morphology, measure thickness, and count glands. Western blotting and reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction were utilized to measure the relative protein and mRNA expression levels of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), integrin (ITG) α V, ITG β 3 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in the endometrium across different groups for intergroup comparisons. Results:The endometrial thickness and the number of glands in the untreated group [(507.32±85.66) μm, 18.67±6.66] showed no statistically significant differences compared with those in the sham-operated group [(502.78±73.26) μm, 19.33±7.73, all P>0.05]. The experimental group showed significantly increased endometrial thickness [(347.71±82.24) μm vs. (118.85±29.19) μm, P<0.001] and gland number (15.00±2.65 vs. 2.00±2.00, P=0.030) compared with the negative control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the relative protein and mRNA expression levels of LIF, VEGF, ITG α v, ITG β 3, and PCNA in the endometrium between the untreated group and the sham-operated group (all P>0.05). The relative protein and mRNA expression levels of endometrial LIF, VEGF, ITG α V, ITG β 3 and PCNA of the experimental group were all significantly higher than those in the negative control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Intrauterine perfusion with UCB-MNCs may promote endometrial regeneration and repair, as well as improve endometrial receptivity, through the upregulation of the expression levels of PCNA, LIF, VEGF, and ITG α V, ITGβ 3.

Objective:To explore the rehabilitation effects of individual computer story-version magnanimous therapy (ICSMT) on patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).Methods:A total of 120 patients with end-stage renal disease receiving MHD treatment at the Department of Nephrology Hemodialysis Center of Huadu District People's Hospital of Guangzhou from August 2022 to April 2024 were selected as the study subjects.They were randomly divided into control group ( n=60, receiving routine clinical treatment) and ICSMT group ( n=60, receiving routine clinical treatment combined with ICSMT for psychological intervention) by random number table method.The patients in the two groups were evaluated by the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), enterprising and magnanimous questionnaire (EMQ), the short-form-36 health survey (SF-36), and activity of daily living scale (ADL) before intervention and at 4-week post-intervention.Blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), hemoglobin (Hb), and serum albumin (ALB) levels were also measured before the intervention and at the 4-week post-intervention.The clinical global impression scale (CGI) was used to evaluate clinical efficacy before the intervention, at the 2-week post-intervention, and at the 4-week post-intervention.Statistics analysis was performed using SPSS 29.0.1.0(171). Independent-samples t-test, paired t-test, Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used for statistical analysis. Results:After 4 weeks of intervention, the SAS and SDS in the ICSMT group (49.0 (48.0, 50.0), 50.0 (49.0, 51.0)) were significantly lower than those in the control group (51.0 (50.0, 52.0), 52.0 (51.0, 53.0)) (both P<0.001). The enterprising subscore of the EMQ in the ICSMT group (35.0 (32.0, 37.0)) was significantly higher than that in the control group (31.0 (29.0, 34.0)) ( P<0.001). Furthermore, the differences of enterprising and magnanimous subscores between the two groups before and after intervention in the ICSMT group (2.0 (1.0, 4.0), 1.0 (-1.0, 2.0))were significantly higher than those in the control group (-1.0 (-1.0, 0), -1.0 (-1.2, 0)) (both P<0.05). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure values in the ICSMT group (130 (126, 134) mmHg, 85 (80, 88) mmHg)were significantly lower than those in the control group (145 (138, 152) mmHg, 93 (88, 99) mmHg)(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) after 4 weeks of intervention(both P<0.05). After 4 weeks of intervention, the level of BUN in the ICSMT group (5.5 (3.7, 8.4) mmol/L) was significantly lower than that in the control group (9.1 (6.8, 11.4) mmol/L), while the level of Hb and ALB in the ICSMT group ((115.0±10.0)g/L, (38.3±3.2)g/L)were significantly higher than those in the control group ((104.0±12.0)g/L, (37.1±2.9)g/L) (all P<0.05). After 4 weeks of intervention, the physical functioning, role-physical, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health subscores of SF-36 in ICSMT group were all significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). After 4 weeks of intervention, the score of ADL in the ICSMT group (15.42±1.58)was significantly lower than that in the control group (16.78±2.06) ( t=-4.08, P<0.05). At the 2-week post-intervention and the 4-week post-intervention, the severity of illness (SI) and global improvement (GI) in the ICSMT group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while the efficacy index (EI) in the ICSMT group was significantly higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:ICSMT can effectively promote the physical, psychological, and social functional rehabilitation of end-stage renal disease patients undergoing MHD, significantly improving their quality of life.
