AIM: To study effects of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) signal transduction on expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3) in giant cell tumor of bone (GCT). METHODS: Expression of uPAR, MMP-2 and TIMP-3 in GCT tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. Phosphorylation level of mitogen-activated protein kinase (p44) in uPA/uPAR signal pathway in cultured GCT cells was detected by immunoprecipitation. The expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-3 in cultured cells after treatment with uPA-ATF or anti-uPAR antibody was also detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: 1) Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) was positive on the cell membrane and in cytoplasm of some mononuclear stromal cells (MSCs) and multinucleated giant cells (MGCs); 2) MMP-2 was positive in the cytoplasm and on the cell membrane of almost all of MSCs and some of MGCs. The polar distribution of MMP-2 in the cytoplasm of MGCs was especially obvious; 3) The expression of TIMP-3 of some MSCs and MGCs in GCT was much lower than MMP-2. The positive signal also showed a prominent polarity; 4) After treatment with uPA-ATF, the phosphorylation level of p44 in GCT cultured cells was much higher than the control. Addition of anti-uPAR antibody in the cells remarkably down-regulated the phosphorylation level of p44 as compared with the control group, suggesting that uPA-ATF participates cell signal transduction and this reaction can be inhibited by anti-uPAR antibody; 5) uPA-ATF cell signal pathway up-regulated expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-3, while anti-uPAR antibody down-regulated the expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-3. CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate for the first time that uPA-ATF directly regulates the expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-3 by signal transduction pathway, and the over-expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-3 may play an important role in local osteolysis of GCT.

Objective To explore the effects and mechanism of hydrogen sulfide on myocardial ischemia reperfusion in rats. Methods With sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaHS) as a donor of hydrogen sulfide ( H2S), we established myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model in rats. The SD rats were randomly divided into control group,myocardial ischemia reperfusion group (I/R group), H2S group,and H2S and glibenclamide (H2S + GLI)group. We monitored the hemodynamics index of rats, including heart rate, arterial pressure, left ventricular pressure. The rate of ventrical arrhythmia was also observed in each group. Results H2 S significantly reduced the ventricular arrhythmia (VA) occurrence (H2S group 66.5% vs I/R group 33.5% (P ＜0.05) and score in myocardial ischemia reperfusion rats (H2S group 2. 6 ±0. 7 vs I/R group 4. 5 ±0. 8(P＜0.05). The KATP channel blocker,glibenclamide,could weaken the antiarrhythmic effects of H2S ( H2S group 2. 6 ±0. 7 vs. H2S + GLI group 4. 0 ± 0. 6, P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions H2S has the protective effect against myocardial ischemia reperfusion damage. This function may be associated with the KATP signal transduction pathway in cells.

Objective: To investigate the smartphone addiction among college students during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its association with daily behaviors and mental health,and to provide reference for heath education and psychological counseling for college students. Methods: An observational study using online quyestionnaire was conducted among 10 357 college students of two provincial medical schools in Guangdong and Shanxi Province from February 24th to March 4th in 2020. Participants were investigated on demographic information, smartphone addiction, daily routine, physical activity, weight status, anxiety, and other health information. Logistic regression with inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity score was used to analyze the association between smartphone addiction with daily behavior and mental health. Results: The prevalence of smartphone addiction was 59.42%. The prevalence of phone addiction was higher in postgraduates, senior undergraduates, students with non-medical major, students living in GuangDong and those without regular exercise habit before vacation(χ 2=47.91，17.78，42.75，138.58，P<0.05). With IPTW, there were significant associations between smartphone addiction and late bedtimes (OR=1.82, 95%CI=1.66-1.98) and wake-up times (OR=1.55, 95%CI=1.44-1.68), more sedentary behaviors (OR=1.21, 95%CI=1.12-1.31), less moderate to vigorous physical activity (OR=1.33, 95%CI=1.22-1.44), anxiety (OR=2.98, 95%CI=2.52-3.40), weight gain(OR=1.27，95%CI=1.17-1.37) and other detrimental daily behavior and feelings. Conclusion High prevalence of smartphone addiction has been observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with impaired daily behavior and mental health.

Objective : To investigate the effect of Arginine Vasopressin (AVP) on the median preoptic glutamatergic (MnPOVglut2 ) neurons and its mechanism． Methods : Brain slices were prepared from male Vglut2-tdTomato mice．MnPOVglut2 neurons expressing red fluorescent protein were located by using fluorescence microscope．Wholecell patch clamp technique was used to observe the effect of AVP on the firing frequency of MnPOVglut2 neurons，the effect of synaptic transmission blockers ( STBs) on the AVP-induced change in the firing frequency of MnPOVglut2 neurons，and the effect of AVP V1a receptor antagonist on the AVP-induced change in the firing frequency of MnPOVglut2 neurons. Results: The mean firing frequency of MnPOVglut2 neurons increased during perfusion with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) and AVP compared with that during perfusion with ACSF (P＜0. 01) ，indicating that AVP excited the MnPOVglut2 neurons．The mean firing frequency of MnPOVglut2 neurons still increased during perfusion with ACSF，STBs，and AVP compared with that during perfusion with ACSF and STBs (P＜0. 001) ; moreover，the magnitude of AVP-induced increase in firing frequency didn't change significantly during perfusion with ACSF，STBs，and AVP compared with that during perfusion with ACSF and AVP (P ＞0. 05 ) ，suggesting that AVP excited the MnPOVglut2 neurons directly in a postsynaptic manner．The magnitude of AVP-induced increase in the firing frequency of MnPOVglut2 neurons declined during perfusion with ACSF，STBs，AVP，and V1areceptor antagonist compared with that during perfusion with ACSF，STBs，and AVP (P＜0. 01) ，suggesting that AVP excited MnPOVglut2 neurons directly via V1a receptor． Conclusion AVP can excite MnPOVglut2 neurons via V1areceptor directly in a postsynaptic manner．This study reveals the molecular marker of MnPO neurons which AVP act on.
