Loss-of-function variants in CSDE1 have been strongly linked to neuropsychiatric disorders, yet the precise role of CSDE1 in neurogenesis remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that knockout of Csde1 during cortical development in mice results in impaired neural progenitor proliferation, leading to abnormal cortical lamination and embryonic lethality. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that Csde1 upregulates the transcription of genes involved in the cell cycle network. Applying a dual thymidine-labelling approach, we further revealed prolonged cell cycle durations of neuronal progenitors in Csde1-knockout mice, with a notable extension of the G1 phase. Intersection with CLIP-seq data demonstrated that Csde1 binds to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA transcripts encoding cell cycle genes. Particularly, we uncovered that Csde1 directly binds to the 3' UTR of mRNA transcripts encoding Cdk6, a pivotal gene in regulating the transition from the G1 to S phases of the cell cycle, thereby maintaining its stability. Collectively, this study elucidates Csde1 as a novel regulator of Cdk6, sheds new light on its critical roles in orchestrating brain development, and underscores how mutations in Csde1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders.

The elucidation of resources pertaining to the Chimonanthus praecox varieties and the establishment of a fingerprint serve as crucial underpinnings for advancing scientific inquiry and industrial progress in relation to C. praecox. Employing the SSR molecular marker technology, an exploration of the genetic diversity of 175 C. praecox varieties (lines) in the Yanling region was conducted, and an analysis of the genetic diversity among these varieties was carried out using the UPDM clustering method in NTSYSpc 2.1 software. We analyzed the genetic structure of 175 germplasm using Structure v2.3.3 software based on a Bayesian model. General linear model (GLM) association was utilized to analyze traits and markers. The genetic diversity analysis revealed a mean number of alleles (Na) of 6.857, a mean expected heterozygosity (He) of 0.496 3, a mean observed heterozygosity (Ho) of 0.503 7, a mean genetic diversity index of Nei՚s of 0.494 9, and a mean Shannon information index of 0.995 8. These results suggest that the C. praecox population in Yanling exhibits a rich genetic diversity. Additionally, the population structure and the UPDM clustering were examined. In the GLM model, a total of fifteen marker loci exhibited significant (P < 0.05) association with eight phenotypic traits, with the explained phenotypic variation ranging from 14.90% to 36.03%. The construction of fingerprints for C. praecox varieties (lines) was accomplished by utilizing eleven primer pairs with the highest polymorphic information content, resulting in the analysis of 175 SSR markers. The present study offers a thorough examination of the genetic diversity and SSR molecular markers of C. praecox in Yanling, and establishes a fundamental germplasm repository of C. praecox, thereby furnishing theoretical underpinnings for the selection and cultivation of novel and superior C. praecox varieties, varietal identification, and resource preservation and exploitation.

Objective:To analyze the association between zygomatic change and bone setback or resection and propose a quantitative guidance for L-shaped reduction malarplasty by linear regression analysis based on computed tomographic (CT) scan images.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted on patients who underwent L-shaped reduction malarplasty with mortice and tenon joint at the zygomatic arch in Department of Orthognathic and Temporomandibular Joint Surgery, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University from January 2017 to September 2022. Bone setback and resection were performed in cases required a classical L-shaped osteoectomy with oblique bone resection (Group Ⅰ). Bone setback was performed in cases required a modified L-shaped osteotomy without bone resection (Group Ⅱ). Wound healing and the occurrence of complications were followed up after operation. The amount of bone setback and resection were calculated by using preoperative and postoperative CT scan images. The unilateral width changes of the anterior, middle, and posterior zygomatic regions(ΔZBP-MFP, ΔZMP-MFP, ΔZAP-MFP, respectively) as well as zygomatic protrusion change(Δzygomatic protrusion) were also evaluated. SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The measurement data was expressed as Mean±SD. Zygomatic width and protrusion change of the two groups was compared by independent t-test. Comparison of complication rates between the two groups was performed using the χ2 test. Correlation analysis using Pearson correlation coefficients was performed between bone resection or setback and zygomatic width or protrusion change. Linear regression analysis was also performed. Results:A total of 80 patients were enrolled. Group Ⅰ consisted of 40 patients [6 males and 34 females; aged (25.2±3.8) years, ranging from 19 to 33 years] who underwent a classical L-shaped osteotomy with both bone setback and resection, while Group Ⅱ consisted of 40 patients [10 males and 30 females; aged (26.0±3.0) years, ranging from 20 to 35 years] who underwent a modified L-shaped osteotomy with bone setback but without bone resection. All patients healed uneventfully during the follow-up period[(12.5±3.3) months, ranging from 5 to 20 months]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications such as infection, transient paresthesia, severe swelling and hematoma between the two groups ( P>0.05). No severe complications, such as facial asymmetry, sagging cheek, bone nonunion, were observed. All patients significantly improved facial contours. There was a statistically significant difference (all P<0.01) in ΔZBP-MFP [ (2.52±0.76) mm vs. (1.85±0.40) mm], ΔZMP-MFP [ (3.30±0.54) mm vs. (2.94±0.51) mm] and Δzygomatic protrusion [ (4.42±1.20) mm vs. (3.59±0.84) mm] between Group Ⅰ and Group Ⅱ. No statistical difference was found in ΔZAP-MFP ( P>0.05). Significant correlation was observed between the bone setback or resection and the changes of anterior, middle zygomatic width as well as protrusion in both the two groups ( r=0.60-0.92, all P<0.01), and the linear regression equation was established. The correlation between bone setback or resection and the posterior zygomatic width change was not significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:There are linear correlations between the unilateral anterior, middle zygomatic width change, zygomatic protrusion change and the unilateral bone setback or resection. The linear regression equations can be used as a quantitative guidance for preoperative surgical planning.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) has become an increasingly serious public health issue, characterized by high incidence and high disability rates. It often coexists with other mental health problems and physical diseases, with a significant negative impact on patients' quality of life. In clinical practice, MDD is considered a heterogeneous disease. The complexity of the pathological mechanisms and the variability in treatment responses lead to a lack of clear therapeutic targets, which complicates the treatment process. In recent years, with advancements in neuroscience, the crucial role of microglia in the pathogenesis of MDD has been revealed. As the main immune cells in the brain, microglia are not only involved in the regulation of neuroinflammation but also play important roles in neurogenesis and neuronal regulation in MDD. This article mainly discusses the role of microglia in the pathophysiological mechanisms of MDD, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for microglia as a potential target for the treatment of MDD.

Objective:To understand the relationship between unhealthy lifestyle and hyperuricemia, as well as the modification effects of hypertension and dyslipidemia in occupational population and provide a theoretical basis for the prevention of hyperuricemia.Methods:A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, based on baseline data from the Southwest Occupational Population Cohort from China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd., which included the population in 28 prefectures from Sichuan Province and Guizhou Province, and 33 districts (counties) from Chongqing Municipality between October and December 2021. This study collected the information about the demographics characteristics, lifestyles, and prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases of the study subjects through questionnaire, physical measurement and laboratory biochemical test. The unhealthy lifestyle score was scored based on smoking, alcohol consumption, dietary patterns, physical activity, and low weight or overweight, with higher scores being associated with more unhealthy lifestyles. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between unhealthy lifestyle score, smoking, alcohol consumption, other factors and hyperuricemia, and the stratified analysis was used to explore the modification effect of hypertension and other diseases on the relationship between unhealthy lifestyle and hyperuricemia.Results:A total of 11 748 participants were included in this study, the prevalence of hyperuricemia was 34.4%. Multivariate logistic regression model showed that current/previous smoking, current/previous alcohol consumption and BMI abnormality were risk factors for hyperuricemia, and the unhealthy lifestyle score showed a "cumulative" effect on the risk for hyperuricemia, with higher score increasing the risk of hyperuricemia, and the OR increased from 1.64 (95% CI: 1.34-2.00) to 2.89 (95% CI: 2.39-3.50). Stratified analysis showed that unhealthy lifestyles had a greater impact on the risk for hyperuricemia in people with hypertension and dyslipidemia. Conclusions:The coexistence of multiple unhealthy lifestyles might increase the risk of hyperuricemia, and this effect was stronger in participants with hypertension and dyslipidemia. Timely correction of unhealthy lifestyles, and control of hypertension and dyslipidemia might reduce the risk for hyperuricemia.

Most of the maxillary impacted third molars are located in the maxillary tuberosity,where the vision and op-eration space are limited.This paper reports a case of surgical extraction of the left maxillary horizontal superhigh impact-ed third molar,which is located between the roots of the adjacent teeth and is closely related to the maxillary sinus.The digital simulation technology was used to reconstruct a three-dimensional visual image of the patient's maxilla,related teeth,and other adjacent anatomical structures to assist in finding the optimal surgical method accurately.Root dis-location before the crown not only protects the roots of the adjacent tooth,but also reduces the risk of maxillary sinus lining damage or perforation during operative procedures,improves the efficiency of the operation,and reduces surgical trauma,which conforms to the concept of minimally inva-sive surgery and provides a new idea and experience for the clinical extraction of such maxillary impacted third molars.

Objective To investigate the effects of alcoholic extract of Hemerocallis citrina Baroni on the depressive-like behaviors in zebrafish larvae(Danio rerio)induced by reserpine.Methods Zebrafish larvae were divided into various groups:control(Con)group,reserpine group,fluoxetine group,H.citrina alcohol extract(HCE)low dose group(1.5 mg/L),HCE medium dose group(3 mg/L),and HCE high dose group(4.5 mg/L).Depressive-like behaviors were analyzed using sound and light stimulation.Real-time PCR was used to investigate the effects of HCE on depression related astrocyte markers(GFAP,C3,C4B,EMP-1,S100α-10)and the neurotrophic factor BDNF and its receptor genes(P75,TrkB).Results In comparison to the control group,the model group demonstrated significantly shorter movement distance and reduced movement time under sound and light stimulation(P＜0.05,P＜0.001,P＜0.0001).Following the administration of HCE,zebrafish larvae exhibited significantly heightened sensitivity to light and sound stimulation compared to the model group(P＜0.05,P＜0.0001).Astrocyte marker genes were up-regulated in the model group zebrafish brains compared to the control group(P＜0.0001).However,when the model group was administered HCE,the expression of astrocyte markers was significantly down-regulated compared to the model group(P＜0.0001).Neurotrophic factor and its receptor genes(BDNF,P75,TrkB)were down-regulated in zebrafish brains in the model group compared to those in the control group(P＜0.0001).However,in the group administered HCE,the expression of BDNF,P75,and TrkB was significantly up-regulated compared to that in the model group(P＜0.01,P＜0.0001).These findings suggest that HCE suppressed the inflammatory responses caused by astrocyte activation and promoted the production of neurotrophic factors and their receptor genes,thereby exerting an ameliorative effect on depression.Conclusions Alcoholic extracts of H.citrina can ameliorate the depression-like behavioral changes induced by reserpine in zebrafish larvae.They reduce the expression of astrocyte markers in the zebrafish brain and promote the production of neurotrophic factors and their receptor genes,playing an antidepressant role.

OBJECTIVE: Immunotherapy has brought significant clinical benefits to a subset of patients, but has thus far been disappointing in the treatment of immunologically "cold" tumors. Existing biomarkers that can precisely identify these populations are insufficient. In this context, a potential cold tumor microenvironment (TME) marker FARSB was investigated to reveal its impact on TME and patients' response to immunotherapy across pan-cancer. METHODS: The expression levels and mutational landscape of FARSB in pan-cancer were investigated. Kaplan-Meier and univariate Cox regression analyses were applied to analyze the prognostic significance of FARSB. Pathways affected by FARSB were investigated by gene set enrichment and variation analysis. The relationship between FARSB expression and immune infiltration was examined using the TIMER2 and R packages. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of several cancer types from GSE72056, GSE131907, GSE132465, GSE125449 and PMID32561858 were analyzed to validate the impact of FARSB on the TME. The predictive effect of FARSB on immunotherapy efficacy was explored in 3 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)- treated cohorts (PMID32472114, GSE176307, and Riaz2017). RESULTS: FARSB expression was significantly higher in 25 tumor tissues than in normal tissues and was associated with poor prognosis in almost all tumor types. FARSB expression exhibited a strong association with several DNA damage repair pathways and was significantly associated with TP53 mutation in lung adenocarcinoma (P < 0.0001, OR=2.25). FARSB characterized a typical immune desert TME and correlated with impaired expression of chemokines and chemokines receptors. Large-scale scRNA-seq analysis confirmed the immunosuppressive role of FARSB and revealed that FARSB potentially shapes the cold TME by impeding intercellular interactions. In 3 ICI-treated cohorts, FARSB demonstrated predictive value for immunotherapy. CONCLUSION This study provides a pan-cancer landscape of the FARSB gene by integrated single-cell and bulk DNA sequencing analysis and elucidates its biological function to promote DNA damage repair and construct the immune desert TME, suggesting the potential value of FARSB as a novel marker for stratifying patients with poor immunotherapeutic benefits and "cold" TME.
