Objective To investigate the effect of cholecystokinin octapeptide(CCK-8)on glutamate transporter 1(GLT-1)expression in hippocampal astrocytes induced by glutamate(Glu).Methods The mouse hippocampal astrocytes were isolated and the toxicity of CCK-8 at different concentrations on the mouse hippocampal astrocytes was detected.The cells were divided into control group,Glu group,Glu+0.1 μmol/L CCK-8 group,Glu+0.5 μmol/L CCK-8 group and Glu+1.0 μmol/L CCK-8 group.MTT assay was used to detect cell proliferation.Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis.Biochemical kit was used to detect Glu content in the extracellular supernatant,and qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of GLT-1 and glutamate/aspartate transporter(GLAST).The protein expressions of Caspase-3,Bcl-2,GLT-1 and GLAST were detected by Western blotting,and the expression of TNF-α in the cell supernatant was detected by ELISA.Results CCK-8 at different concentrations had no significant effect on the proliferation of mouse hippocampal astrocytes.Compared with the control group,the cell proliferation ability and the expression levels of Bcl-2 protein,GLT-1 and GLAST mRNA and protein in Glu group were significantly decreased(all P＜0.01),the apoptosis rate,extracellular Glu content,Caspase-3 protein expression level in cells and TNF-α level in cell supernatant were significantly increased(all P＜0.01);Compared with the Glu group,the cell proliferation a-bility and the expression levels of Bcl-2 protein,GLT-1 and GLAST mRNA and protein in the Glu+0.5 μmol/L CCK-8 group and Glu+1.0 μmol/L CCK-8 group were significantly increased(all P＜0.05),the apoptosis rate,extracellular Glu content,Caspase-3 protein expression level in cells and TNF-α level in cell supernatant were significantly decreased(all P＜0.01).Con-clusion CCK-8 can inhibit Glu-induced inflammatory response of astrocytes,promote the expression of GLT-1,reduce the con-centration of extracellular Glu,promote cell proliferation and inhibit apoptosis.

Objective:To systematically assess the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for spastic hemiplegia after ischemic stroke. Methods:Randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of acupuncture treatment for spastic hemiplegia after ischemic stroke meeting the inclusion criteria in Cochrane Library,Medline,Excerpta Medica Database(EMBASE),PubMed,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),SinoMed,Chongqing VIP Database(VIP),and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform(Wanfang)published from each database's inception to February 2023 were retrieved by computer.Two reviewers independently extracted data and evaluated the risk of bias using Cochrane's risk of bias tool.Review Manager 5.4 was used for data analysis.Continuous data were evaluated using mean difference(MD)with a 95%confidence interval(CI),and dichotomous data were analyzed using risk ratio(RR). Results:A total of 24 trials,including 1 970 participants,were included in the study.The meta-analysis of 7 trials showed that compared to the rehabilitation therapy,acupuncture therapy was more effective in improving the simplified Fugl-Meyer assessment score after 1-month treatments[MD=10.52,95%CI(7.81,13.23),P<0.001].The meta-analysis of 2 articles showed the same tendency after 6-month treatments[MD=19.18,95%CI(11.34,27.02),P<0.001],and the 6-month treatment course resulted in better outcomes than the 1-month course.The meta-analysis of 8 trials showed that acupuncture had a better improvement on the Barthel index score than rehabilitation therapy after 1-month treatments[MD=10.78,95%CI(8.91,12.64),P<0.001].The meta-analysis of 2 articles showed the same tendency after 6-month treatments[MD=19.94,95%CI(19.02,20.87),P<0.001],and the 6-month course was better than the 1-month course.The meta-analysis of 2 trials showed that the effective rate of the modified Ashworth scale score improvement was more notable in the acupuncture group after 1-month treatments[RR=1.20,95%CI(1.02,1.40),P=0.020].One trial reported no adverse event,and 1 trial reported 3 adverse events without severe influence. Conclusion:Acupuncture might be an effective and safe therapy for spastic hemiplegia after ischemic stroke,but more high-quality,large-sample objectively-evaluated RCTs are needed to validate the conclusion.

Background: SM-like (LSM) genes a family of RNA-binding proteins, are involved in mRNA regulation and can function as oncogenes by altering mRNA stability. However, their roles in B-cell progression and tumorigenesis remain poorly understood. Methods: We analyzed gene expression profiles and overall survival data of 123 patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The LSM index was developed to assess its potential as a prognostic marker of MCL survival. Results: Five of the eight LSM genes were identified as potential prognostic markers for survival in MCL, with particular emphasis on the LSM.index. The expression levels of these LSM genes demonstrated their potential utility as classifiers of MCL. The LSM.index-high group exhibited both poorer survival rates and lower RNA levels than did the overall transcript profile. Notably, LSM1 and LSM8 were overexpressed in the LSM.index-high group, with LSM1 showing 2.5-fold increase (p < 0.001) and LSM8 depicting 1.8-fold increase (p < 0.01) than those in the LSM.index-low group.Furthermore, elevated LSM gene expression was associated with increased cell division and RNA splicing pathway activity. Conclusions The LSM.index demonstrates potential as a prognostic marker for survival in patients with MCL. Elevated expression of LSM genes, particularly LSM1 and LSM8, may be linked to poor survival outcomes through their involvement in cell division and RNA splicing pathways. These findings suggest that LSM genes may contribute to the aggressive behavior of MCL and represent potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

Objective: To analyze the trends and influencing factors of endurance performance of 19-22 years old college students in Hunan Province from 1985 to 2019, so as to provide objective and scientific basis for sports and health work in colleges and universities. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 14 490 college students aged 19-22 in Hunan Province from 8 consecutive National Student Physical Fitness and Health Surveys conducted from 1985 to 2019. The analysis indexes were 1 000 m running for boys and 800 m running for girls. Results: From 1985 to 2019, the endurance running time of 19-22 years old Han college students in Hunan Province showed an obvious trend of decline. The 1 000 m running time of urban and rural male students increased by 41.9 and 45.4 s on average, and the 800 m running time of urban and rural female students increased by 29.5 and 30.6 s on average, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age ( β =0.17), urban students (rural students as reference; β =0.44), GDP ( β =0.94) and urbanization level ( β = 0.44 ) were positively correlated with the average endurance running time of males. Urban students ( β =0.92), GDP ( β = 1.38 ) and Engel coefficient ( β =0.93) were positively correlated with the average endurance running time of females. BMI ( β =-0.47) was negatively correlated with the females mean time of endurance running ( P ＜0.05). Conclusion The endurance performance of Han college students in Hunan Province showed a declining trend from 1985 to 2019,which is associated with age, urban and rural distribution, regional GDP, Engel s coefficient, urbanization level and BMI. Effective measures should be taken to improve the physical quality of college students.

The relationship between pyroptosis and immune microenvironment and disease has received increasing attention. Pyroptosis plays a dual role in anti-tumor immunotherapy by promoting the release of inflammatory factors, forming the tumor microenvironment and suppressing tumour immunity on the one hand, and inducing the tumour inflammatory response to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells on the other hand. The relationship between pyroptosis, immune microenvironment and tumors is different in different tissues and genetic backgrounds. This article reviews the molecular mechanisms of pyroptosis and the regulatory role of tumor immune microenvironment in hematologic malignancies, with a view to providing ideas for the anti-hematologic malignancies treatment and research based on the target of pyroptosis-regulated immune microenvironment.
