Covalently anchoring of a ligand/metal via polar amino acid side chain(s) is often observed in metalloenzyme, while the substitutability of metal-binding sites remains elusive. In this study, we utilized a zinc-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase from Thermoanaerobacter brockii (TbSADH) as a model enzyme, analyzed the sequence conservation of the three residues Cys37, His59, and Asp150 that bind the zinc ion, and constructed the mutant library. After experimental validation, three out of 224 clones, which showed comparative conversion and ee values as the wild-type enzyme in the asymmetric reduction of the model substrate tetrahydrofuran-3-one, were screened out. The results reveal that the metal-binding sites in TbSADH are substitutable without tradeoff in activity and stereoselectivity, which lay a foundation for designing ADH-catalyzed new reactions via metal ion replacement.

ObjectiveTo compare the development status of health facilities in different regions (non-agricultural and agricultural districts)and different types across four dimensions: organizational management, health environment, health activities, and health outcomes, to explore factors that may affect the current development status and summarize effective experiences, and to provide a foundation for the subsequent comprehensive, standardized, and effective promotion of health facility development and tiered and classified management. MethodsInvestigators conducted a health status survey based on the four dimensions for 50 health facilities in 16 districts of Shanghai, representing three types (including government agencies, enterprises, and communities). Evaluation forms were filled out through on-site observation and document reviews, which were developed in accordance with the Shanghai Health Settings Evaluation Standards (for trial implementation in 2019). ResultsThe average total score of health facilities in Shanghai was (88.42±11.93) points, with an overall excellence rate of 86.0%. The excellence rate of each dimension, from highest to lowest, were healthy environment (84.0%), organizational management (82.0%), health activities (78.0%), and health outcomes (44.0%). Health facilities in agricultural districts scored higher in both total score and average score on the organizational management dimension compared to non-agricultural districts. The excellence rate for the organizational management dimension was also higher in agricultural districts than in non-agricultural districts. There was no statistical significance in the total score, the score of each dimension, the overall excellence rate, and the excellence rate of each dimension among different types of health facilities (P>0.05). ConclusionThe development of health facilities among government agencies, enterprises, and communities in Shanghai has begun to yield positive results. Health facilities in non-agricultural districts should actively draw on the experience of those in agricultural districts, particularly in organizational management, adjust development ideas and planning based on their own realities, so as to continuously improve the levels of development.

The development of health-promoting hospitals is an important part of the Healthy China Initiative, facilitating the transformation of medical institutions from a primary focus on medical and surgical treatments to a patient-centered approach prioritizing public health. To promote the scientific, standardized, and sustainable development of health-promoting hospitals, the Shanghai Municipal Center for Health Promotion, together with Shanghai General Hospital and other institutions, has jointly developed the Standards for the Development of Health⁃promoting Hospitals (Standards) in accordance with the principles of scientific rigor, feasibility, and advancing with the times. The Standards outlines the requirements for the development of health-promoting hospitals across four aspects: organizational and institutional guarantees, creation of a healthy environment, implementation of health education and promotion, and evaluation. It is applicable to all levels and types of public medical institutions in Shanghai, and can also be referred to and implemented by other medical institutions. The introduction of the Standards is of great significance for promoting the formation of a long-term mechanism in health-promoting hospitals. This paper introduces the basis, principles, main content, precautions, and implementation suggestions of the Standards. Taking into account relevant policies and standards, it interprets the technical aspects in the process of developing health-promoting hospitals, which is helpful for medical institutions and their management to better understand and apply the standards in their work.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current situation of health communication carried out by medical institutions in Shanghai through new media platforms such as WeChat, Weibo, Toutiao, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili and WeChat Videos, and to propose targeted measures. MethodsBased on the systematic collection of new media accounts of medical institutions in Shanghai, and through the combination of keyword screening and manual audit, health communication data of medical institutions on new media platforms were determined. ResultsData from 1 117 new media accounts of 162 medical institutions in Shanghai were collected, including 610 WeChat official accounts, 105 WeChat video accounts, 89 Weibo accounts, 18 Bilibili accounts, 198 Douyin accounts, 37 Toutiao accounts, and 60 Kuaishou accounts, totaling 111 853 posts. After keyword sorting and manual screening, a total of 66 761 health science posts were collected, with WeChat Official Accounts, Douyin, and Weibo having the top three highest number of posts. Video-based new media such as Douyin, WeChat Videos, Kuaishou, and Bilibili had a better communication impact than text and image-based new media like WeChat Official Accounts, Weibo, and Toutiao. Among them, Douyin and Toutiao were the best platforms for video and text-image-based new media, respectively. ConclusionMedical institutions in Shanghai recognize the importance of new media in health communication and have made full use of various media platforms to carry out health communication,having a certain impact on health education. In the future, medical institutions should choose appropriate platforms based on target audiences and content characteristics, fully leverage the advantages of various platforms, explore innovative communication strategies, promote the dissemination of health knowledge, and enhance the health literacy of the public.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an insidious pulmonary vasculopathy with high mortality and morbidity and its underlying pathogenesis is still poorly delineated. The hyperproliferation and apoptosis resistance of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) contributes to pulmonary vascular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension, which is closely linked to the downregulation of fork-head box transcriptional factor O1 (FoxO1) and apoptotic protein caspase 3 (Cas-3). Here, PA-targeted co-delivery of a FoxO1 stimulus (paclitaxel, PTX) and Cas-3 was exploited to alleviate monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension. The co-delivery system is prepared by loading the active protein on paclitaxel-crystal nanoparticles, followed by a glucuronic acid coating to target the glucose transporter-1 on the PASMCs. The co-loaded system (170 nm) circulates in the blood over time, accumulates in the lung, effectively targets the PAs, and profoundly regresses the remodeling of pulmonary arteries and improves hemodynamics, leading to a decrease in pulmonary arterial pressure and Fulton's index. Our mechanistic studies suggest that the targeted co-delivery system alleviates experimental pulmonary hypertension primarily via the regression of PASMC proliferation by inhibiting cell cycle progression and promoting apoptosis. Taken together, this targeted co-delivery approach offers a promising avenue to target PAs and cure the intractable vasculopathy in pulmonary hypertension.
