Objective To investigate the feasibility of using leukocytes that were filtered out by LeukoReduction System ( LRS) to replace conventional human peripheral blood leukocytes in experimental researches and to comparatively analyze the differences between them in vitro biological functions and pheno-types of T cells. Methods Mononuclear cells were isolated from LRS-separated leukocytes and whole blood sample that collected from the same person by using Ficoll. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting ( FACS) was performed to analyze the phenotypes of T cells. CD3+T cells were sorted out by using magnetic beads. The T cells that were collected by using two different ways were incubated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies and IL-2 in vitro for 10 days. Several assays including cell counting, FACS and cytometric beads array ( CBA) were performed to comparatively analyze the differences in biological functions and phenotypes of T cells that were isolated by different methods. Results The phenotypes of T cells isolated from LRS filter and whole blood sample were highly similar at the initial stage. The sorting rate of CD3+T cells form LRS filter reached a high level and met the requirements for experimental researches. No statistically significant differ-ences in cell count, phenotype, expression of costimulatory molecules and cytokine secretion were observed between T cells isolated from LRS filter and whole blood sample. Conclusion This study suggested that the T cells isolated from LRS filter could be used as an alternative to whole blood T cells for fundamental resear-ches since they were similar in cell vitality, phenotype and biological functions. It provided a new way to solve the problem of blood shortage in clinic and scientific research.

Objective To investigate the role of high mobility group box l protein (HMGB1) in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods Enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) was used to test the levels of plasma HMGB1 levels in 58 patients with active AS [bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI)>6, or 6>BASDAI>4 and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)>22 mm/1 h, 6>BASDAI>4 and hypersensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP)>9 mg/L], 73 cases of stable AS (BASDAI<4) and 70 healthy control. Twelve patients who were treated with TNF-alpha antagonist for 6 month were followed-up. Their plasma levels of HMGB1 were detected before and after treatment. Quantitative data were described by, while qualitative data were described by case number. Variance analysis or rank sum test was adopted for the difference between measurement data groups, LSD method was adopted for further pair-wise comparison. The correlation between variables was analyzed by using Spearman correlation analysis. Results The levels of plasma HMGB1, ESR, hsCRP, White blood cell WBC, GR, Mo and GLOB were significantly higher in the AS patients than those in the healthy control group (P<0.001), and the level of plasma HMGB1 in the AS patients was significantly positively correlated with BASDAI, Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI), ESR, hsCRP, WBC, GR, Mo, and GLOB (r=0.288, 0.174, 0.308, 0.243, 0.261, 0.301, 0.279, 0.289; P=0.004, 0.047, 0.000, 0.005, 0.003, 0.000, 0.001 ,0.001). The level of plasma HMGB1, BASDAI, BASFI, ESR, hsCRP, WBC, GR, GLOB were significantly higher in the active AS group than in the stable group (Z=-3.598,-9.456,-5.907, -2.562, -3.178, 4.134, -2.574, -4.582; P=0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.012, 0.002, 0.000, 0.011, 0.000). The level of plasma HMGB1 was not found statistically poor in the patients with different expressions of HLA-B27, or hip involvement and history of vuvitis (P>0.05). The plasma HMGB1 level, BASDAI, BAIFI, ESR, hsCRP and GLOB in the 12 followed-up patients were significantly decreased (P=0.034, 0.002, 0.002, 0.005, 0.004, 0.004) after being treated with biological agents for 6 months. Conclusion HMGB1 might play a vital role in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis,and the HMGB1 might be used as a clinical indicator to evaluate the activity of AS and to assess the clinical efficacy.

BACKGROUND:The repair process of myocardial injury involves complex cellular and molecular mechanisms,especially mitochondrial calcium homeostasis,macrophage autophagy and pyroptosis pathways.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has shown significant clinical efficacy in improving myocardial injury,but its mechanism of action needs to be thoroughly investigated. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis-mediated macrophage autophagy and pyroptosis pathways in myocardial injury,and to summarize the progress of TCM in this field. METHODS:A computerized search was performed for relevant literature from the database inception to March 2024 in the Web of Science,PubMed and CNKI.The search terms were"mitochondrial calcium homeostasis,macrophage autophagy,macrophage pyroptosis,traditional Chinese medicine,myocardial injury,myocardial injury reperfusion"in Chinese and English.Through literature review,we analyzed the relationship between mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and macrophage autophagy and pyroptosis,explored the mechanism of their roles in myocardial injury,and summarized the pathways of multi-targeted,multi-pathway effects of TCM. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The maintenance of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis has been found to be closely related to the normal function of cardiomyocytes.Macrophages can participate in the repair process of myocardial injury through autophagy and pyroptosis pathways.Autophagy contributes to cell clearance and regulation of inflammatory response,while pyroptosis affects myocardial repair by releasing inflammatory factors.TCM regulates mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and macrophage function through multiple mechanisms.For example,astragalosid regulates calcium homeostasis by lowering mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibiting cytochrome C,and epimedium glycoside plays a role in reducing β-amyloid deposition.In addition,herbal compounds and single drugs promote myocardial repair by activating or inhibiting specific signaling pathways,such as PI3K/AKT and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways.Future studies should focus on the interactions between mitochondrial calcium homeostasis,autophagy and pyroptosis pathways,as well as how TCM can exert therapeutic effects through these pathways to provide new strategies and drugs for the treatment of myocardial injury.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(1):53-57
Objective:
To explore the current status and influencing factors of eating behaviors in adolescents, so as to provide a theoretical foundation for health promotion education among adolescents.
Methods:
Based on the database from Survey of Chinese Family Health Index (2021), by a random number table method, 1 065 teenagers were selected from the provincial capitals of 22 provinces and 5 autonomous regions in China, as well as 4 municipalities directly under the central government. A general characteristic questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Short Form of the Family Health Scale (FHS-SF), 10-item Short Version of the Big Five Personality(BFP-10), Content-based Media Exposure Scale (CM-E) and Sakata Eating Behavior Scale Short Form(EBS-SF) were used to collect information. Multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis was employed to identify and analyze related factors of eating behaviors among adolescents. Receiver operating characteristic was used to validate the predictive ability of the EBS-SF score for overweight and obesity among adolescents.
Results:
The average scores of BFI-10,C-ME, FHS-SF, PHQ-9 and EBS-SF were (33.08±4.64)(19.20±4.55)(38.48±6.65)(6.09±5.63)(16.75±4.36), respectively. Multivariate linear regression showed that family type (other types), agreeableness, conscientiousness, family health and depression were the main related factors of EBS-SF scores among adolescents( B =2.61,-0.42,0.20,-0.11,0.23, P <0.05).The analysis of receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the EBS-SF scores had a good ability in predicting obesity among male adolescents ( AUC= 0.73, P <0.01).
Conclusions
Family type, big five personality, family health,depression are the related factors of eating behaviors among adolescents. EBS-SF scores are predictive of obesity in adolescents, which would provide a new perspective for promoting healthy eating habits among adolescents.
