The growing recognition of mitochondria’s crucial role in the regulation of white adipose tissue remodeling and energy balance underscores its significance. The marked metabolic diversity of mitochondria provides the molecular and cellular foundation for enabling adipose tissue plasticity in response to various metabolic cues. Effective control of mitochondrial function at the cellular level, not only in thermogenic brown and beige adipocytes but also in energy-storing white adipocytes, exerts a profound influence on adipose homeostasis. Furthermore, mitochondria play a pivotal role in intercellular communication within adipose tissue via production of metabolites with signaling properties. A more comprehensive understanding of mitochondrial regulation within white adipocytes will empower the development of targeted and efficacious strategies to enhance adipose function, leading to advancements in overall metabolic health.

Objective To explore the relationship among psychological flexibility,coping style and job burnout of nurses.Methods A total of 694 nurses from one district level grade A tertiary general hospital in Yunnan were assessed using acceptance and action questionnaire 2nd edition (AAQ-Ⅱ),simplified coping style questionnaire (SCSQ) and nursing burnout scale (NBS).The relationship among psychological flexibility,coping style and job burnout of nurses was analyzed using structural equation model and Bootstrap test.Results (1) Correlation analysis showed that the total scores of AAQ-Ⅱ (21.81 ± 8.23),job burnout (22.71 ± 6.60) and its three dimensions including emotional exhaustion (8.93 ± 2.87),depersonalization (6.64±2.30)as well as reduced personal accomplishment(7.14±2.52) were positively correlated with negative coping dimension of coping style (10.86±4.99) (r=0.324-0.510,all P＜0.01),while negatively correlated with positive coping dimension(26.44±5.86) (r=-0.102--0.143,all P＜0.01).(2) Structural equation model analysis showed that positive and negative coping dimension had partial mediating effects on the relationship between psychological flexibility and job burnout (x2/df=2.30,GFI =0.91,AGFI =0.90,NFI=0.90,IFI=0.93,TLI=0.92,CFI=0.93,RMSEA=0.04).(3) Bootstrap test showed that the mediating effect sizes for positive and negative coping were 3.8％ and 8.9％ respectively and totally mediating effect size of coping style was 12.7％.Psychological flexibility had much larger effects on job burnout,and the direct effect size was 87.3％.Conclusion Coping style plays a mediating role in the relationship between psychological flexibility and job burnout,but its effect is less important.Psychological flexibility plays a major role and more directly influences on job burnout.

T-cell-mediated drug hypersensitivity represents a significant proportion of immune mediated drug hypersensitivity reactions. In the recent years, there has been an increase in understanding the immune mechanisms behind T-cell-mediated drug hypersensitivity. According to hapten mechanism, drug specific T-cell response is stimulated by drug-protein conjugate presented on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) as it is presented as a new antigenic determinant. On the other hand, p-i concept suggests that a drug can stimulate T cells via noncovalent direct interaction with T-cell receptor and/or peptide-MHC. The drug binding site is quite variable and this leads to several different mechanisms within p-i concept. Altered peptide repertoire can be regarded as an 'atypical' subset of p-i concept since the mode of the drug binding and the binding site are essentially identical to p-i concept. However, the intracellular binding of abacavir to HLA-B*57:01 additionally results in alteration in peptide repertoire. Furthermore the T-cell response to altered peptide repertoire model is only shown for abacavir and HLA-B*57:01 and therefore it may not be generalised to other drug hypersensitivity. Danger hypothesis has been postulated to play an important role in drug hypersensitivity by providing signal 2 but its experimental data is lacking at this point in time. Furthermore, the recently described allo-immune response suggests that danger signal may be unnecessary. Finally, in view of these new understanding, the classification and the definition of type B adverse drug reaction should be revised.

Objective : To study the effect of sex-determining region Y-frame protein 3 (SOX3) on proliferation and estradiol secretion in human ovarian granulosa cells (KGN cell line) . Methods: The gene sequence of human SOX3 (NM_005634. 3) was searched in Gene-Bank , an NCBI database , and the target gene SOX3 was amplified by PCR , which was cloned into lentiviral vector pLV-EF1a-GFP-2A-Puro to obtain the overexpression lentiviral re- combinant plasmid pLV-EF1a-GFP-2A-Puro- SOX3 ; the correctly sequenced overexpressed lentiviral recombinant plasmid as well as packaging plasmids ( pGag/Pol , pRev , pVSV-G) were co-transfected into human embryonic kidney cell line ( HEK 293T) cells ( pLV-SOX3 group) , and pLV-EF1a-GFP-2A-Puro and packaging plasmids (pGag/Pol , pRev , pVSV- G) were co-transfected into HEK 293T cells (pLV-NC group) , the lentiviral particles of both groups were collected and the titers of the viruses were measured after 48 h of transfection , the lentiviruses of the two groups were infected into KGN cells , and the stably expressed cell lines were obtained after puromycin screening for 2 weeks; real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot were used to detect the SOX3 mRNA and protein levels in the two groups; CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferative ability of the cells in the two groups; ELISA was used to determine the concentration of estradiol in the two groups . Results: The identification of PCR products and sequencing results showed that the SOX3 gene fragment was amplified successfully , and the enzyme digestion and sequencing results indicated that the construction of overexpression lentiviral recombinant plasmid was completed; green fluorescence could be detected after lentiviral infection of HEK 293T cells , which indicated that lentiviral packaging was successful; the lentivirus was screened by puromycin after lentiviral infection of KGN cells , and the cells were observed to express green fluorescence under the fluorescence microscope; RT- qPCR and Western blot assays both showed that the expression level of SOX3 in the pLV-SOX3 group was significantly higher than that in the pLV-NC group ( P < 0. 05) . CCK-8 assay results showed that the proliferation ability of the cells in the pLV-SOX3 group significantly increased compared with that in the pLV-NC group (P < 0. 01) . ELISA results showed that estradiol concentration was elevated in the pLV-SOX3 group com- pared with the pLV-NC group (P < 0. 05) . Conclusion Overexpression of the transcription factor SOX3 can pro- mote the proliferation and estradiol secretion of human ovarian granulosa cells KGN .
