Objective This study used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI)to investigate the changes of local brain regional homogeneity in patients with depression and childhood maltreatment,and we calculated the relationship between altered ReHo values and the severity of childhood maltreatment.Methods 25 patients with depression and childhood maltreatment,25 patients with depression without childhood maltreatment,and 25 age,gender,and education-matched healthy controls were prospectively enrolled.All subjects underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and ReHo analysis.One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the group differences,along with multiple comparison correction.Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between region ReHo values with clinical scales.Results Compared with the group of depression without childhood maltreatment,the abnormal brain regions of depression with childhood maltreatment are mainly located in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex,cerebellum,parietal gyrus,and precentral gyrus.The ReHo values of depression with childhood maltreatment in the left cerebellum and the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex are correlated with the severity of childhood maltreatment.Conclusions Depression with childhood mal-treatment is associated with changes in local spontaneous brain activity,which are correlated with the severity of childhood maltreatment.The brain changes in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and cerebellum may explain the neurobiological mechanisms of depression with childhood maltreatment.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is characterized by abnormal lipid deposition in the liver and its mechanism is closely related to insulin resistance, lipid metabolism disorders, oxidative stress, and abnormalities of the gut-liver axis. Currently, there is no effective treatment for this disease. Silent information regulator 2 (SIRT2) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺)-dependent deacetylase which performs various pathophysiological functions by interacting with different substrates. For example, it is involved in improving metabolic homeostasis, alleviating liver inflammation, promoting liver regeneration, and delaying the progression of MASLD. In this paper, we present a review of the mechanism of action of SIRT2 in MASLD to analyze the potential value of SIRT2 as a therapeutic target in MASLD.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. Patients with gastric cancer are often treated by surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy, but the clinical efficacy and prognosis are poor. As an important member of ADAMs family, a disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17) is significantly more highly expressed in gastric cancer than in adjacent tissues. It participates in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer by mediating EGFR, TNF-α, TGF-β/Smad, Notch and Wnt, FoxM1-ADAM17 and EGFR/ERK/SP1. The high expression of ADAM17 is also closely related to the poor prognosis of gastric cancer, suggesting that ADAM17 can be used as a biological index to predict the development and prognosis of gastric cancer and has great potential to become a new therapeutic target for gastric cancer. In this paper, the mechanism, treatment and prognosis of ADAM17 in the development of gastric cancer are reviewed, in order to provide new ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.

Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), a transmembrane protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is involved in mediating cell adhesion, tissue metastasis, control of immune response, and metabolic homeostasis. Studies have shown that CEACAM1 protects the liver by promoting insulin clearance and preventing fat deposition. The down-regulation of the CEACAM1 expression level leads to a vicious cycle of insulin resistance and aggravates metabolic disorders. As CEACAM1 is critical in controlling metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), stimulating its pathway or regulating its expression level might be a potential new therapeutic approach for MASLD. In this paper, therefore, we summarize the research progress of CEACAM1 in MASLD.

Objective: To investigate the effects of fiber surface deposited with silicon dioxide films by atomic layer deposition on properties of dental fiber-reinforced composites. Methods : SiO2 films were deposited on the surface of quartz fiber by atomic layer deposition(ALD). Then the quartz fiber was used to manufacture fiber resin composites, which were divided into four groups: A(no soaking agent removal), B(soaking agent removed), C(soaking agent removed and silanization), and D(soaking agent removed, 600 ALD cycles performed and then silanization). Scanning electron microscopy, water contact angle test, hygroscopicity test, CCK8 test and three-point bending test were used to investigate the properties of fiber resin composites. Results: The surface morphology of the quartz fiber treated by ALD was smooth and had no obvious change compared with that before treatment. Moreover, the quartz fiber showed hydrophobicity after silanization. The results of three-point bending test revealed that the mechanical properties of fiber-resin composites modified by ALD were significantly improved(P<0.05). When viewed by scanning electron microscopy, a good interfacial bonding could be seen between quartz fibers and the resin matrix in Group D. In addition, it was found that Group D had low absorbability, low solubility and good biocompatibility. Conclusion It is shown that deposition of SiO2 films on the quartz fiber by ALD can significantly enhance the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composites.
