Tumor drug resistance is an important problem in the failure of chemotherapy and targeted drug therapy, which is a complex process involving chromatin remodeling. SWI/SNF is one of the most studied ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes in tumorigenesis, which plays an important role in the coordination of chromatin structural stability, gene expression, and post-translation modification. However, its mechanism in tumor drug resistance has not been systematically combed. SWI/SNF can be divided into 3 types according to its subunit composition: BAF, PBAF, and ncBAF. These 3 subtypes all contain two mutually exclusive ATPase catalytic subunits (SMARCA2 or SMARCA4), core subunits (SMARCC1 and SMARCD1), and regulatory subunits (ARID1A, PBRM1, and ACTB, etc.), which can control gene expression by regulating chromatin structure. The change of SWI/SNF complex subunits is one of the important factors of tumor drug resistance and progress. SMARCA4 and ARID1A are the most widely studied subunits in tumor drug resistance. Low expression of SMARCA4 can lead to the deletion of the transcription inhibitor of the BCL2L1 gene in mantle cell lymphoma, which will result in transcription up-regulation and significant resistance to the combination therapy of ibrutinib and venetoclax. Low expression of SMARCA4 and high expression of SMARCA2 can activate the FGFR1-pERK1/2 signaling pathway in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma cells, which induces the overexpression of anti-apoptosis gene BCL2 and results in carboplatin resistance. SMARCA4 deletion can up-regulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by activating YAP1 gene expression in triple-negative breast cancer. It can also reduce the expression of Ca²⁺ channel IP3R3 in ovarian and lung cancer, resulting in the transfer of Ca²⁺ needed to induce apoptosis from endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria damage. Thus, these two tumors are resistant to cisplatin. It has been found that verteporfin can overcome the drug resistance induced by SMARCA4 deletion. However, this inhibitor has not been applied in clinical practice. Therefore, it is a promising research direction to develop SWI/SNF ATPase targeted drugs with high oral bioavailability to treat patients with tumor resistance induced by low expression or deletion of SMARCA4. ARID1A deletion can activate the expression of ANXA1 protein in HER2+ breast cancer cells or down-regulate the expression of progesterone receptor B protein in endometrial cancer cells. The drug resistance of these two tumor cells to trastuzumab or progesterone is induced by activating AKT pathway. ARID1A deletion in ovarian cancer can increase the expression of MRP2 protein and make it resistant to carboplatin and paclitaxel. ARID1A deletion also can up-regulate the phosphorylation levels of EGFR, ErbB2, and RAF1 oncogene proteins.The ErbB and VEGF pathway are activated and EMT is increased. As a result, lung adenocarcinoma is resistant to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). Although great progress has been made in the research on the mechanism of SWI/SNF complex inducing tumor drug resistance, most of the research is still at the protein level. It is necessary to comprehensively and deeply explore the detailed mechanism of drug resistance from gene, transcription, protein, and metabolite levels by using multi-omics techniques, which can provide sufficient theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of poor tumor prognosis caused by mutation or abnormal expression of SWI/SNF subunits in clinical practice.

Ecological cultivation is an important way for the sustainable production of traditional Chinese medicine in the context of the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. Facility cultivation and simulative habitat cultivation modes have been developed and applied to develop the endangered Dendrobium huoshanense on the basis of protection. However, the differences in the greenhouse gas emissions and global warming potential of these cultivation modes remain unexplored, which limits the accurate assessment of carbon-friendly ecological cultivation modes of D. huoshanense. Greenhouse gas emission flux monitoring based on the static chamber method provides an effective way to solve this problem. Therefore, this study conducted a field experiment in the facility cultivation and simulative habitat cultivation modes at a D. huoshanense cultivation base in Dabie Mountains, Anhui Province. From April 2023 to March 2024, samples of greenhouse gases were collected every month, and the concentrations of CO_2, CH_4, and N_2O of the samples were then detected by gas chromatography. The greenhouse gas emission fluxes, cumulative emissions, and global warming potential were further calculated, and the following results were obtained.(1)The two cultivation modes of D. huoshanense showed significant differences in greenhouse gas emission fluxes, especially the CO_2 emission flux, with a pattern of facility cultivation>simulative habitat cultivation [(35.60±11.70)mg·m~(-2)·h~(-1) vs(2.10±4.59)mg·m~(-2)·h~(-1)].(2) The annual cumulative CO_2 emission flux in the case of facility cultivation was significantly higher than that of simulative habitat cultivation[(3 077.00±842.00)kg·hm~(-2) vs(221.00±332.00)kg·hm~(-2)], while no significant difference was found in annual cumulative CH_4 and N_2O emission fluxes.(3) The facility cultivation mode had a significantly higher global warming potential than the simulative habitat cultivation mode [(3 053.00±847.00)kg·hm~(-2) vs(196.00±362.00)kg·hm~(-2)]. Overall, the simulative habitat cultivation of D. huoshanense has obvious carbon-friendly characteristics compared with facility cultivation, which is in line with the concept of ecological cultivation of medicinal plants. This study is of great reference significance for the implementation and promotion of the ecological cultivation mode of D. huoshanense under carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.

This study aims to explore the effects and mechanisms of 4'-O-methylbavachalcone(MeBavaC), an active compound from Psoraleae Fructus, in regulating white matter neuroinflammation to improve vascular cognitive impairment. Male Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham group, model group, high-dose MeBavaC group(14 mg·kg~(-1)), and low-dose MeBavaC group(7 mg·kg~(-1)). The rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion(CCH) was established using bilateral common carotid artery occlusion. The Morris water maze test was performed to evaluate the learning and memory abilities of the rats. Luxol fast blue staining, Nissl staining, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and transmission electron microscopy were utilized to observe the morphology and ultrastructure of the white matter myelin sheaths, axon integrity, the morphology and number of hippocampal neurons, and the loss and activation of glial cells in the white matter. Transcriptome analysis was performed to explore the potential mechanisms of white matter injury induced by CCH. Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR) assays were conducted to measure the expression levels of NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3), absent in melanoma 2(AIM2), gasdermin D(GSDMD), cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-1(caspase-1), interleukin-18(IL-18), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), erythropoietin(EPO), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2), and heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) in the white matter of rats. The results showed that compared with the model group, MeBavaC significantly improved the learning and memory abilities of rats with CCH, improved the damage of white matter myelin sheath, maintained axonal integrity, reduced the loss of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes in the white matter, inhibited the activation of microglia and the proliferation of astrocytes in the white matter, and suppressed the NLRP3/AIM2/caspase-1/GSDMD pathway. The expression levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly reduced, while EPO expression and the expression of Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant pathway were notably elevated. In conclusion, MeBavaC can alleviate cognitive impairment in rats with CCH and suppress neuroinflammation in cerebral white matter. The mechanism of action may involve activation of EPO activity, promotion of endogenous antioxidant pathways, and inhibition of neuroinflammation in the white matter. This study suggests that MeBavaC exhibits antioxidant and anti-neuroinflammatory effects, showing potential application in improving cognitive dysfunction.

OBJECTIVE: A new three-dimensional(3D) classification of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tibial avulsion fracture based on computed tomography(CT) features was established and the significance in clinical treatment was explored in this study. METHODS: From May 2013 to November 2023, 43 cases of PCL tibial avulsion fracture in the Second Hospital of Jilin University were analyzed retrospectively, including 29 males and 14 females, aged (34.3±8.5) years. According to traditional Meyers and McKeever classification, 3 cases were typeⅠ;2 cases of typeⅡ;38 cases were type Ⅲ. Based on the characteristics of CT images, 43 patients were given specific treatment strategies and followed up to evaluate the curative effect. According to the degree of fracture displacement, involved range and the integrity of fracture block demonstrated by CT images, the new three-dimensional classification of PCL avulsion fracture was established. Kappa coefficient was used for consistency test. RESULTS: A new 3D classification of PCL tibial avulsion fracture was established. TypeⅠwas the non-displaced fracture (displacement degree ≤3 mm), in which typeⅠa was the avulsion range limited in the posterior intercondylar fossa, and Ib was the avulsion range beyond the posterior intercondylar fossa. TypeⅡrepresented the displaced fracture in the posterior intercondylar fossa (avulsion limited to the posterior intercondylar fossa and fracture displacement>3 mm), in which typeⅡa represented a slight displacement with a intact broken block and the posterior elevation of the avulsion (hinge mechanism), typeⅡb represented the complete separation of fracture ends with a intact fracture block, and typeⅡc was the comminuted fracture. Type Ⅲ was the displaced fracture beyond the posterior intercondylar fossa (avulsion involving the articular surface of the tibial plateau or the intercondylar ridge and the degree of displacement > 3 mm), among which type Ⅲa was the simple fracture with intact broken block, type Ⅲb represented the comminuted fracture, and type Ⅲc was the complex fracture with tibial plateau fracture. According to this new 3D classification, 43 patients were classified as type Ia in 2 cases and typeⅠb in 1 case;typeⅡa in 2 cases, typeⅡb in 15 cases and typeⅡc in 7 cases;type Ⅲa in 2 cases, type Ⅲb in 5 cases and type Ⅲc in 9 cases. All the 43 cases in this study achieved bone union. At the last follow-up, according to the hospital for special surgery knee score(HSS)evaluation system for the knee joint function, 27 cases were excellent, 11 cases were good, 5 cases were fair. The average Kappa value of inter-observer reliability in the first stage was 0.793, and the second stage was 0.855. The average Kappa value of the whole stage was 0.839, indicating high level of consistency. The average Kappa value of intra-observer reliability was 0.893, indicating high level of consistency. CONCLUSION The 3D classification of PCL tibial avulsion fracture is intuitive, demonstrating a high level of reliability. It has a certain guiding significance for the selection of clinical treatment methods, and it is suggested to be promoted and applied as a new classification system in clinical practice.

Peyronie's disease (PD) is a disorder characterized by fibrous plaque formation in the penile tissue that leads to curvature and complications in advanced stages. In this study, we aimed to compare four injectable induction agents for the establishment of a robust rat model of PD: transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), fibrin, sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) combined with TGF-β1, and polidocanol (POL) combined with TGF-β1. The results showed that injection of TGF-β1 or fibrin into the tunica albuginea induced pathological endpoints without causing penile curvature. The STS + TGF-β1 combination resulted in both histological and morphological alterations, but with a high incidence of localized necrosis that led to animal death. The POL + TGF-β1 combination produced pathological changes and curvature comparable to STS + TGF-β1 and led to fewer complications. In conclusion, fibrin, STS + TGF-β1, and POL + TGF-β1 all induced PD with a certain degree of penile curvature and histological fibrosis in rats. The POL + TGF-β1 combination offered comparatively greater safety and clinical relevance and may have the greatest potential for PD research using model rats.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to reexplore minimum iodine excretion and to build a dietary iodine recommendation for Chinese adults using the obligatory iodine loss hypothesis. METHODS: Data from 171 Chinese adults (19-21 years old) were collected and analyzed based on three balance studies in Shenzhen, Yinchuan, and Changzhi. The single exponential equation was accordingly used to simulate the trajectory of 24 h urinary iodine excretion as the low iodine experimental diets offered (iodine intake: 11-26 μg/day) and to further deduce the dietary reference intakes (DRIs) for iodine, including estimated average requirement (EAR) and recommended nutrient intake (RNI). RESULTS: The minimum iodine excretion was estimated as 57, 58, and 51 μg/day in three balance studies, respectively. Moreover, it was further suggested as 57, 58, and 51 μg/day for iodine EAR, and 80, 81, and 71 μg/day for iodine RNI or expressed as 1.42, 1.41, and 1.20 μg/(day·kg) of body weight. CONCLUSION The iodine DRIs for Chinese adults were established based on the obligatory iodine loss hypothesis, which provides scientific support for the amendment of nutrient requirements.

BACKGROUND:Currently,there have been studies on the regulatory mechanism of lncRNA\miRNA\mRNA co-expression network on the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis.Our research group has screened qualified NONHSAT248596.1 and miR-146a-5p through the database in the previous stage,but the corresponding in vivo experiments to verify the above regulatory mechanisms are still lacking. OBJECTIVE:To explore the role of NONHSAT248596.1 in regulating competitive endogenous RNA of miR-146a-5p in cartilage degeneration mediated by stromal cell derived factor type 1/chemokine receptor 4 axis in vivo. METHODS:The models of osteoarthritis were established in 36 New Zealand rabbits by injecting stromal cell derived factor 1 solution into the knee joint of the right hind limb.According to the random number table method,they were divided into four groups.lncRNA group,miRNA group,ceRNA group and control group were injected with lentivirus vector overexpressing NONHSAT248596.1,lentivirus vector overexpressing miR-146a-5p,lentivirus vector overexpressing miR-146a-5p+NONHSAT248596.1 and empty lentivirus vector into the molded knee joint,respectively.At 4,8 and 12 weeks of modeling,cartilage tissues and subchondral bone tissues of the knee joint were taken for relevant detection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hematoxylin-eosin staining and safranin fast green staining showed different degrees of degeneration in the four groups.At 4 weeks,the cartilage tissue of the lncRNA group showed swelling of chondrocytes,loss of cell polarity,destruction of extracellular matrix,surface erosion,fracture formation and partial or full layer loss of cartilage tissue.The degree of cartilage injury was gradually aggravated with time.The progression of articular cartilage inflammation in the miRNA group was the slowest among the four groups.qRT-PCR showed that at the same time point,mRNA expression levels of NONHSAT248596.1,chemokine receptor 4,matrix metalloproteinase 3,matrix metalloproteinase 9 and matrix metalloproteinase 13 in cartilage tissue of the lncRNA group were higher than those of the other three groups(P＜0.05).The mRNA expression levels of miR-146a-5p,aggrecan and type Ⅱ collagen were lower than those of the other three groups(P＜0.05).The mRNA expression levels of NONHSAT248596.1,chemokine receptor 4,matrix metalloproteinase 3,matrix metalloproteinase 9 and matrix metalloproteinase 13 in the miRNA group were lower than those in the ceRNA group and control group at 8 and 12 weeks after the model construction(P＜0.05).The mRNA expressions of miR-146a-5p,aggrecan and type Ⅱ collagen were higher than those of the ceRNA group and control group(P＜0.05).Western blot assay showed that at the same time point,the expression levels of aggrecan and type Ⅱ collagen in cartilage tissue of the lncRNA group were always lower than those of the other three groups(P＜0.05).The expression levels of aggrecan and type Ⅱ collagen in cartilage tissue of the miRNA group at 8 and 12 weeks after modeling were higher than those of the ceRNA group and control group(P＜0.05).The results showed that miR-146a-5p,as the target of NONHSAT248596.1,could be inhibited by the effect of its ceRNA.After acting on miR-146a-5p,NONHSAT248596.1 regulates the stromal cell derived factor type 1/chemokine receptor 4 axis to affect the expression of matrix metalloprotein,type Ⅱ collagen,and aggrecan in osteoarthritis chondrocytes,resulting in the degradation of extracellular matrix and the loss of proteoglycan.

Objective To investigate changes in the urinary metabolite profiles of children exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)during critical brain development and explore their potential link with the intestinal microbiota. Methods Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine ten hydroxyl metabolites of PAHs(OH-PAHs)in 36-month-old children.Subsequently,37 children were categorized into low-and high-exposure groups based on the sum of the ten OH-PAHs.Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to identify non-targeted metabolites in the urine samples.Furthermore,fecal flora abundance was assessed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing using Illumina MiSeq. Results The concentrations of 21 metabolites were significantly higher in the high exposure group than in the low exposure group(variable importance for projection>1,P<0.05).Most of these metabolites were positively correlated with the hydroxyl metabolites of naphthalene,fluorine,and phenanthrene(r=0.336-0.531).The identified differential metabolites primarily belonged to pathways associated with inflammation or proinflammatory states,including amino acid,lipid,and nucleotide metabolism.Additionally,these distinct metabolites were significantly associated with specific intestinal flora abundances(r=0.34-0.55),which were mainly involved in neurodevelopment. Conclusion Higher PAH exposure in young children affected metabolic homeostasis,particularly that of certain gut microbiota-derived metabolites.Further investigation is needed to explore the potential influence of PAHs on the gut microbiota and their possible association with neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Objective To compare the efficacies of retrograde tibial nailing(RTN)versus minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis(MIPPO)in the treatment of distal tibial fractures.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 55 patients with distal tibial fractures who underwent surgery in our hospital.Patients were divided into two groups based on the different surgical methods,patients in the RTN group(n=25)were treated with RTN,and patients in the MIPPO group(n=30)were treated with MIPPO.The surgical parameters(operation time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative fluoroscopy times,and success rate of closed reduction),fracture healing time,ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS)ankle-hindfoot scores 6 months after operation and at the last follow-up,and the incidence of complications during perioperative period and follow-up were compared between the two groups.Results The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,and intraoperative fluoroscopy times in the RTN group were significantly shorter/less than those in the MIPPO group(P＜0.05).The ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score 6 months after operation in the RTN group were significantly greater/higher than those in the MIPPO group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the fracture healing time,or ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score at the last follow-up between the two groups(P＞0.05).The success rate of closed reduction in the RTN group was 72.00％,which was lower than that of 96.67％in the MIPPO group(P＜0.05).The incidence of soft tissue-related complications in the RTN group was signifi-cantly lower than that in the MIPPO group(P＜0.05),while there was no statistically significant difference in the overall incidence of complica-tions between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion RTN is an effective minimally invasive surgical technique for the treatment of distal tibial fractures,characterized by minimal trauma,low incidence of soft tissue complications,and fast recovery of joint function compared with MIPPO.
