The 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were used as carriers in the investigation of total extract, n-butanol extract, CB-1 and CB-2 of Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt. on cell proliferation and differentiation. Three groups at different doses were set for each of the four extract regions of C. tinctoria Nutt., respectively. MTT assay was used to detect 3T3-L1cell proliferation by four extract regions of C. tinctoria Nutt. Oil Red O staining was used to analyze the formation and accumulation of cytoplasmic lipid during cell differentiation. The results showed that compared with the control group, there were significant inhibition on cell proliferation when thetotal extract of C. tinctoriaNutt. at 100 μg·mL-1, n-butanol extract at 0.5, 5, and 50 μg·mL-1, CB-1 and CB-2 at 50 μg·mL-1 (P< 0.01). N-butanol extract showed certain dose-dependent manner (r = -0.903). Oil Red O staining showed that compared with the control group, thetotal extract of C. tinctoria Nutt. at 1, 10, 100 μg·mL-1 can obviously inhibit cell differentiation, reduce the formation of cytoplasmic lipid (P< 0.01). N-butanol extract can inhibit cell differentiation in a dose-dependent manner (r= -0.779). CB-1 and CB-2 obviously inhibited cell differentiation at the concentration of 50 μg·mL-1 (P < 0.01). It was concluded that thetotal extract, n-butanol extract, CB-1 and CB-2 of C. tinctoria Nutt. can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and reduce the formation of cytoplasmic lipid.

Objective:
To investigate the current status and influencing factors of emotional intelligence among postgraduates, so as to provide the evidence for promoting the mental health of postgraduates.
Methods:
The postgraduates from higher education institutions in Guizhou Province were selected using stratified cluster sampling method from November to December 2023. Demographic information such as gender, college, professional discipline and monthly family income were collected using questionnaire surveys. Stress perception was investigated using the Chinese version of the Stress Perception Scale. Emotional intelligence was investigated using the Chinese version of the Emotional Intelligence Scale. The influencing factors for emotional intelligence were analyzed using a multiple linear regression model.
Results:
Totally 728 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 94.42%. There were 262 males (35.99%) and 466 females (64.01%). The mean score of emotional intelligence was (77.98±15.71) points, the mean score of emotional assessment was (20.57±4.50) points, the mean score of emotional regulation was (18.63±5.22) points, the mean score of emotional using was (18.90±4.87) points, and the mean score of emotional recognition was (19.89±4.73) points. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that professional discipline (economics and law, β'=0.108), monthly family income (3 000-5 000 yuan, β'=0.091; >5 000 yuan, β'=0.086) and stress perception (β'=-0.515) were associated with emotional intelligence among postgraduates.
Conclusion
The emotional intelligence among postgraduates was influenced by professional discipline, monthly family income and stress perception.

Objective:To improve the prevention and treatment of venomous snake bites by analyzing the epidemiological characteristics of venomous snake bite in Wuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted. The medical records of 1 091 patients with venomous snake bites admitted to the department of snake wound of Wuzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2014 to December 2020 were collected, including snake species, gender and age of patients, bite time, bite site and local symptom.Results:The medical records of 952 patients with a definite clinical diagnosis of snake bite were enrolled. Among the 952 patients with venomous snake bites, the main bites were from Ovophis (32.98%), Trimeresurus (27.84%) and Naja (26.26%), followed by Bungarus multicinctus (6.51%), Ophiophagus Hannah (3.15%) and Agkistrodonhalys (1.58%), and few bites were from Rhabdophis subminiatus (0.73%), Bungarus fasciatus (0.42%), viper (0.32%) and Agkistrodon (0.21%). Of the 952 patients with venomous snake bites, there were almost twice as many males as females [647 cases (67.96%) vs. 305 cases (32.04%), with male to female ratio of 2.12∶1]. The age of patients ranged from 0.8 to 87.0 years old, with 40-59 years old as the majority (42.44%), followed by ≥ 60 years old (27.31%). Snake bites mainly occurred from April to November (93.59%), with a peak in October (16.39%). The incidence time was mainly afternoon (12:00-17:59, 30.88%) and evening (18:00-23:59, 33.30%), followed by morning (06:00-11:59, 24.69%), and early in the morning (00:00-05:59, 11.13%). The incidence time of Ovophis and Bungarus multicinctus mainly concentrated in 18:00-23:59, the time of Trimeresurus was in 06:00-11:59, and that of Naja and Ophiophagus hannah was in 12:00-17:59. Most cases of snake bite were on limbs (98.53%), and mainly on the right limbs (53.57%). The lower limbs mainly were bitten by Ovophis, while the upper limbs mainly were bitten by Naja and by Ophiophagus hannah. The local symptoms of the bite of Ovophis and Trimeresurus were similar, mainly including pain, swelling, tenderness, high temperature of skin around the wound, bleeding and exudation, etc. And the local symptoms of the bite of Naja were pain, swelling, bruising, tenderness, bleeding and exudation, red skin, etc. Numbness and mild pain were the main symptoms of the bite of Bungarus multicinctus and Bungarus fasciatus, but other local characteristics were not obvious.Conclusions:The majority of venomous snake bite patients in Wuzhou City of Guangxi were middle-aged and elderly males, and the majority of venomous snakes were Ovophis, Trimeresurus, and Naja. Most venomous snake bite occurs from April to November, and the incidence time was concentrated between 12:00 and 23:59. The majority of venomous snake bite was limb bites. The local symptoms were pain, swelling, tenderness, high temperature of skin around the wound, bruising, etc. To reduce the incidence rate, disability rate and mortality of snake bite disease, a snake bite prevention system should be established, the education and publicity of snake bite prevention knowledge should be strengthened, the awareness of snake bite prevention should be improved, and clinical diagnosis and treatment should be assisted, based on the epidemiological characteristics of snake bite in Wuzhou area.

Dysfunction of the Hippo pathway enables cells to evade contact inhibition and provides advantages for cancerous overgrowth. However, for a significant portion of human cancer, how Hippo signaling is perturbed remains unknown. To answer this question, we performed a genome-wide screening for genes that affect the Hippo pathway in Drosophila and cross-referenced the hit genes with human cancer genome. In our screen, Prosap was identified as a novel regulator of the Hippo pathway that potently affects tissue growth. Interestingly, a mammalian homolog of Prosap, SHANK2, is the most frequently amplified gene on 11q13, a major tumor amplicon in human cancer. Gene amplification profile in this 11q13 amplicon clearly indicates selective pressure for SHANK2 amplification. More importantly, across the human cancer genome, SHANK2 is the most frequently amplified gene that is not located within the Myc amplicon. Further studies in multiple human cell lines confirmed that SHANK2 overexpression causes deregulation of Hippo signaling through competitive binding for a LATS1 activator, and as a potential oncogene, SHANK2 promotes cellular transformation and tumor formation in vivo. In cancer cell lines with deregulated Hippo pathway, depletion of SHANK2 restores Hippo signaling and ceases cellular proliferation. Taken together, these results suggest that SHANK2 is an evolutionarily conserved Hippo pathway regulator, commonly amplified in human cancer and potently promotes cancer. Our study for the first time illustrated oncogenic function of SHANK2, one of the most frequently amplified gene in human cancer. Furthermore, given that in normal adult tissues, SHANK2's expression is largely restricted to the nervous system, SHANK2 may represent an interesting target for anticancer therapy.
