BACKGROUND:The regulation of M1/M2 polarization direction of macrophages is particularly critical in tissue engineering applications,and timely regulation can minimize proinflammatory,anti-inflammatory,or tissue healing responses. OBJECTIVE:To implant lentivirus-mediated miRNA-378a macrophage strain complex collagen to detect the expression level of immune regulation in the in vivo environment,and further clarify the influence of miRNA-378a in promoting macrophage M2 polarization in immune regulation and tissue repair in the in vivo environment. METHODS:Lentivirus-mediated miRNA-378a overexpressing macrophage cell lines and negative control virus macrophage lines were amplified and screened,and the macrophage lines were recovered and cultured together with collagen sponge to form a composite scaffold,which was divided into the following groups:(1)Positive group:miRNA-378a overexpressing macrophage-collagen sponge composite;(2)negative group:negative control of virus-mediated miRNA-378a macrophage-collagen sponge composite;(3)control group:macrophage-collagen sponge;(4)blank control group:collagen sponge.The cell density,phenotype,and adhesion of each group were observed by immunofluorescence and scanning electron microscopy.The cells were implanted into the subcutaneous model of the back of mice,and the mice were sacrificed 4 and 7 days after modeling.The direction of macrophage polarization in the collagen sponge composite of macrophages with miRNA-378a overexpression mediated by lentivirus and its effect on immune regulation and tissue repair were analyzed by gross observation,hematoxylin-eosin staining,MASSON staining,and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Under immunofluorescence microscopy,the macrophage cell lines in each group were observed to form a composite scaffold with the collagen sponge.(2)Under scanning electron microscope,lentivirus-mediated miRNA-378a macrophages in the positive group proliferated in cell density,had spherical,elliptic and polygonal differentiation,and had more pseudofeet than other groups.(3)Under general observation,the overall 7-day healing was better than that at 4 days.Lentivirus-mediated miRNA-378a macrophages in the positive group healed better than other groups regardless of 4 and 7 days.(4)Lentivirus-mediated miRNA-378a macrophages in the positive group under hematoxylin-eosin staining and MASSON staining had more amounts of fibrocytes,capillaries,fibroblasts,and collagen fiber hyperplasia.(5)Immunohistochemistry showed that lentivirus-mediated miRNA-378a macrophages in the positive group were more positive in 4-and 7-day M2 polarized cells than in other groups.The macrophages of the control and negative groups in 4-and 7-day M2 polarized cells were greater than that of the blank control group.There was no statistical difference between the control group and the negative group.The number of stained cells in the positive,negative,and control groups regardless of 4 and 7 days was higher than that in the blank control group,and the positive group>negative group ≈ control group>blank control group.(6)It is concluded that macrophages with miRNA-378a overexpression have a large amount of fibroblasts,capillaries,fibroblasts,and collagen fiber hyperplasia in vivo,which has a positive effect on tissue repair,and can promote the polarization of macrophages towards M2 type and inhibit the polarization of M1 type,thus contributing to reducing the inflammatory response of the body.

Objective To explore the correlation of MET status in patients with advanced prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma with the clinical pathological parameters and prognosis. Methods The specimen from 135 patients with advanced prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma was included. The expression of c-MET protein was detected via immunohistochemistry, and MET gene amplification was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The relationships of c-MET expression and gene amplification with clinicopathological features and prognosis were analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of c-MET was 52.60% (71/135). Compared with the c-MET expression in adjacent tissues, that in tumor tissues showed lower heterogeneous expression. Among the cases, 1.71% (2/117) exhibited MET gene polyploidy, but no gene amplification was detected. Positive c-MET expression was significantly correlated with high Gleason scores and grade groups (P=0.0073). However, no significant relationship was found between c-MET expression and progression-free survival or post-treatment t-PSA levels. Conclusion c-MET protein is expressed at a relatively low level in advanced prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma, suggesting that c-MET may not be a viable target for ADC drug development in prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVE To determine the species,quantity,and dispersion patterns of airborne pollen in two districts and five counties of Handan City,Hebei Province.METHODS The gravity sedimentation method was employed from October 1,2023,to September 30,2024,for daily and consecutive pollen exposure slides in two districts(Congtai District and Yongnian District)and five counties(Qiu County,Daming County,Cheng'an County,Cixian County,and She County)of Handan City,Hebei Province.The types of pollen were counted and identified under an optical microscope,and the pollen data were statistically analyzed.RESULTS The annual pollen quantity in the two districts and five counties of Handan City ranged from 24 031 grains/1 000 mm2 to 85 131 grains/1 000 mm2.The dissemination of major allergenic pollen presented two peaks.The first peak occurred in spring(March to April),mainly composed of Platanus(25.15％),Broussonetia(13.61％),Pinus(8.48％);the second peak occurred in(August to September),mainly consisting of Humulus/Cannabis(13.71％)and Artemisia(8.44％).Pollen in spring was significantly higher than that in summer and autumn.CONCLUSION The major allergenic airborne pollen in the two districts and five counties of Handan City exhibited two peaks in spring and summer-autumn,with Platanus pollen,Broussonetia pollen,Pinus pollen,Humulus/Cannabis pollen,and Artemisia pollne being the dominant pollen types.Among them,Platanus pollen was the absolute dominant pollen in this region.

Objective To investigate the relationship between biological aging and the rate of cognitive decline in middle-aged and elderly populations.Methods Longitudinal tracking data of cognitive function were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS).We employed the Klemera and Doubal method(KDM)to estimate biological age(BA),and calculate the biological aging index(BAI)and biological aging type(BAT).A multivariate linear regression model was employed to analyze the relationships between baseline BAI,BAT,and cognitive function scores.Based on the baseline analysis,a mixed-effects model was used to examine the longitudinal associations between baseline BAI,BAT,and cognitive function during follow-up.Results A total of 5 897 participants were included in the study.BAI was found to be negatively associated with baseline cognitive function scores,with the partial regression coefficient(β)(95％CI)being-0.185(—0.231,—0.139)(P＜0.001).Compared with the lagged aging group,the premature aging group had lower cognitive function scores(β[95％CI]:—0.741[—0.966,—0.516]).For age and sex,for each additional year of baseline BAI,cognitive function scores declined by an average of 0.012(95％CI:—0.019,—0.005)points per year after adjusting for age and sex,and declined by 0.011(95％CI:—0.018,—0.004)points per year after adjusting for other covariates.Compared with participants with lagged aging,those with premature aging experienced,on average,an additional decline of 0.042(95％CI:—0.075,0.009)points per year in cognitive function scores after adjusting for age and sex alone,and by 0.039(95％CI:—0.072,—0.007)points per year after adjusting for other covariates.Conclusion Biological aging affects the rate of cognitive decline in middle-aged and elderly populations.A higher BAI is associated with a faster decline in cognitive function.Compared with those with lagged aging,individuals with premature aging exhibit a more rapid rate of cognitive decline.

BACKGROUND:M2 macrophages have the function of reducing inflammatory factors and promoting tissue healing.Therefore,how to regulate M2 polarization of macrophages has been a hot research topic in recent years,and some miRNAs have been found to have this function. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of miR-378a on the polarization of the Raw264.7 macrophage cell line. METHODS:The M1 polarization of macrophages was induced by lipopolysaccharide and interferon-γ.Interleukin-4 induced M2 polarization and the expression of endogenous miR-378a in each cell type was detected using qRT-PCR to verify whether miR-378a was involved in the polarization of macrophages.By transfection with lentivirus as the vector of overexpression of miR-378a,the stable expression of miR-378a cell lines was screened.Macrophage M1 polarization was induced synergically by lipopolysaccharide and interferon-γ.Macrophage M2 polarization was induced by interleukin-4.The levels of M1/M2 polarization-related cytokines in the supernatant of the macrophage culture medium were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.qRT-PCR was used to detect the polarization characteristics of M1/M2-type macrophages and the mRNA expression levels of related cytokines. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The expression level of endogenous miR-378a in Raw264.7 cells of each group increased after macrophage polarization.(2)Compared with the non-transfected group,the expressions of proinflammatory cytokine-induced nitric oxide synthase,tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-6 and interleukin-1β in macrophage M1 induced polarization were significantly decreased in the miR-378a transfection group(P<0.05);the levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase,tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 in cell supernatant were also significantly decreased(P<0.05).(3)Compared with the non-transfected group,the expressions of CD206,interleukin-10 and arginase-I in macrophage M2 induced polarization were significantly increased(P<0.05);the levels of CD206 and interleukin-10 in cell supernatant were also significantly increased(P<0.05)in the miR-378a transfection group.(4)It is indicated that overexpression of miR-378a promotes the M2 polarization of macrophages and inhibits the M1 polarization of macrophages.

Objective: To assess the nutritional status of primary and secondary school students in Beijing City and to analyze the related factors, so as to provide a scientific basis for improving the nutritional status of primary and secondary school students in a targeted manner. Methods: Based on the 2021 Beijing Student Common Diseases and Health Influencing Factors Surveillance Project, a stratified random cluster sampling method was used to conduct a physical examination and questionnaire survey on 25 487 primary and secondary school students from September to November 2021. The Chi square test was used for comparison of nutritional status detection rates, and disordered multi classification Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the factors associated with students nutritional status. Results: The detection rates of malnutrition, overweight and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Beijing City were 4.7%, 18.0% and 23.8% respectively. The detection rates of malnutrition, overweight and obesity were higher among male students (5.1%, 20.4%, 29.7%) than female students (4.2%, 15.5%, 17.4%) ( χ 2= 12.23, 101.71, 526.99, P <0.01). The detection rate of obesity was higher in the suburbs than urban areas(26.6%, 19.8%), and the detection rate of malnutrition was lower in the suburbs than urban areas (4.2%,5.5%)( χ 2=157.25, 23.61, P <0.01). The results of disordered multi classification Logistic regression showed that the related factors for malnutrition, overweight and obesity were gender, residence, moderate to vigorous exercise ≥60 min per day and lack of sleep( OR =1.70, 1.88,2.48; 1.14, 0.87, 0.67; 0.85, 0.92, 0.81 ; 0.83, 1.08, 1.07); frequency of fried food intake daily was a related factor for overweight ( OR =0.70); whether eating breakfast daily or not was a related factor for overweight and obesity ( OR =0.91, 0.84); academic level (middle and high school) was a related factor for malnutrition and obesity ( OR =1.38, 1.37; 0.77, 1.40)( P <0.05). Conclusions The problem of overweight and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Beijing City continues to be serious, especially among boys and suburban areas. It is recommended that society, schools, families and individuals should work together to improve the nutritional status of primary and secondary school students by adopting a graded and classified approach.
