Objective To analyze the cognitive function and sleep quality of the elderly in Shanghai community, and explore the related influencing factors. Methods A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 8 community health centers in Shanghai for a questionnaire survey, including 3 677 elderly individuals who completed the “Comprehensive Health Status Survey of Elderly Residents in Shanghai” from September 2023 to November 2023. Basic information of the elderly was collected, including age, gender, education level, smoking, drinking, mahjong playing behavior, and exercise habits. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to assess the sleep quality of the elderly, subjective cognitive decline (SCD) self-assessment questionnaire and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were used to evaluate cognitive function, while the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to assess anxiety and depression levels, and the mini nutritional assessment (MNA) was used to evaluate nutritional status. According to the MMSE scores, the elderly were divided into three groups: no cognitive impairment (MMSE ≥ 27), mild cognitive impairment (MMSE 21-26), and moderate to severe cognitive impairment (MMSE ≤ 20). The general data, lifestyle habits, and scale scores of the three groups were compared. Ordered logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of sleep quality. Results There were statistically significant differences in age, gender, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), education level, pet ownership, smoking, drinking, mahjong playing behavior, exercise habits, and scale scores among the three groups (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, waist circumference, gender, drinking habits, mahjong playing behavior, and chronic comorbidities are influencing factors for the PSQI grading in the elderly (P<0.05). The MMSE score (OR=1.037, P=0.001), SCD score (OR=1.123, P<0.001), HAMA score (OR=1.183, P<0.001), PHQ-9 score (OR=1.249, P<0.001) are positive influencing factors for PSQI grading, while the MNA score is a negative influencing factor (OR=0.960, P=0.037). Conclusions Advanced age, female gender, low education level, no pet ownership, no mahjong playing behavior, no exercise habits, and poor sleep quality are risk factors for cognitive impairment in the elderly. Advanced age, female gender, no mahjong playing behavior and poor nutritional status are influencing factors for poor sleep quality in the elderly, and severe comorbidities, anxiety, depression, and subjective decline in cognitive function all affect sleep quality.

Objective:To explore the clinicopathological and genetic characteristics of sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and new therapeutic targets for sporadic MTC.Methods:Based on family and personal disease history, we identified 32 sporadic MTC who underwent surgical resection from Jan 2010 to Dec 2022. Clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features were analyzed in all patients, while 6 of them were subject to the whole exome sequencing (WES).Results:Compared with those of low-grade sporadic MTC, patients with high-grade tumors were more likely to have lymph node metastasis at presentation ( χ2=4.428, P=0.040); less likely to be cured by biochemical treatment ( χ2=4.072, P=0.044). Pathological grading scheme, biochemical cure, and TNM stage were independent risk factors of disease free survival. WES was performed on 6 pairs of normal tissues. We screened RET and RAS as driver mutations, and the mutation ratio was 3/6 respectively. Patients with RET or RAS mutations had no recurrence. In addition, we detected PDGFRA somatic mutation, with a mutation ratio of 1/6. Conclusions:For sporadic MTC cases, the pathological grading system has important prognostic value, and RET and RAS somatic mutations are the main driver mutations. PDGFRA are potential therapeutic targets for sporadic MTC.

Objective To explore the effect of berberine on the proliferation and invasion of human colon cancer cells and its mechanism.Methods The paraffin-embedded tumor tissues and intestinal incisal tissues(control tissues)of 96 patients who underwent radical resection of colon cancer at the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the research subjects.The expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)in tumor tissues and control tissues was detected by using the immunohistochemical method,and the relationship between HIF-1α and clinicopathological features was analyzed.The human colon cancer cell line HCT116 was cultivated in normoxic and hypoxic conditions,respectively;after adhesion,the cells were divided into normoxic group,hypoxic group,normoxic combined with berberine group,and hypoxic combined with berberine group.The cells in the normoxic combined with berberine group and the hypoxic combined with berberine group were treated with 25,50,75,and 100 μmol·L-1 berberine,respectively;while the cells in the normoxic group and the hypoxic group were not treated with any drugs.At 24,48,72,and 96 hours of cultivation,the proliferation of cells in each group was detected by using the thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide method,respectively.Based on the above results,the most suitable drug concentration was determined as 75 μmol·L-1.At 24 hours of cultivation,the invasion of cells in the normoxic group,normoxic combined with 75 μmol·L-1 berberine group,hypoxic group,and hypoxic combined with 75 μmol·L-1 berberine group was detected by using the Transwell method;at 48 hours of cultivation,the relative expression levels of HIF-1α and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)proteins in the cells in each group were detected by using Western blot.Results HIF-1α was mainly expressed in the nucleus of colon cancer tissues and control tissues.The positive expression rates of HIF-1α in control tissues and colon cancer tissues were 19.8%(19/96)and 67.7%(65/96),respectively;the positive expression rate of HIF-1α in colon cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in control tissues(x2=11.298,P<0.05).The expression of HIF-1α in colon cancer tissues was correlated with tumor size,lymph node metastasis,and TNM staging(P<0.05),but had no correlation with patient gender,age,tumor infiltration depth,and differentiation degree(P>0.05).The cells in the normoxic group showed logarithmic growth after 24 hours of culture;and the addition of berberine at a concentration of 25 μmol·L-1 had no significant effect on cell proliferation(P>0.05);compared with 0 μmol·L-1berberine,the addition of berberine at concentrations of 50 μmol·L-1 and 75 μmol·L-1 significantly reduced cell proliferation activity after 48 hours of culture(P<0.05),and the addition of berberine at a concentration of 100 μmol·L-1 significantly reduced cell proliferation activity after 24 hours of culture(P<0.05).After 48 hours of culture with berberine at a concentration of 25 μmol·L-1,the proliferation activity of cells in the hypoxic group was significantly higher than that in the 0 μmol·L-1 berberine(P<0.05);compared with 0 μmol·L-1 berberine,the addition of berberine at concentrations of 50,75,and 100 μmol·L-1 significantly reduced cell proliferation activity after 24 hours of culture(P<0.05),and the higher the concentration of berberine,the more pronounced the decrease in cell proliferation activity(P<0.05).At the same concentration of berberine,compared with the normoxic group,the hypoxic group showed a more significant decrease in cell proliferation activity and a more pronounced slowing-down trend in cell proliferation(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the number of cells crossing the membrane between the normoxic group and the normoxic combined with 75 μmol·L-1 berberine group(t=0.955,P>0.05);the number of cells crossing the membrane in the hypoxic combined with 75 μmol·L-1 berberine group was significantly less than that in the hypoxic group(t=5.354,P<0.05);the number of cells crossing the membrane in the hypoxic group was significantly more than that in the normoxic group(t=2.625,P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the relative expression levels of HIF-1α and VEGF proteins between the normoxic group and the normoxic combined with 75 μmol·L-1 berberine group(P>0.05);the relative expression levels of HIF-1α and VEGF proteins in the hypoxic group were significantly higher than those in the normoxic group(P<0.05);the relative expression levels of HIF-1α and VEGF proteins in the hypoxic combined with 75 μmol·L-1 berberine group were significantly lower than those in the hypoxic group(P<0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in the relative expression levels of HIF-1α and VEGF proteins between the normoxic combined with 75 μmol·L-1 berberine group and the hypoxic combined with 75 μmol·L-1 berberine group(P>0.05).Conclusion HIF-1α expression is associated with growth and invasion of colon cancer.Berberine may inhibit the proliferation and invasion of colon cancer cells HCT116 by regulating the expression of HIF-1α and its downstream factor VEGF.
