BackgroundStudents in secondary vocational health school are at the age of puberty and prone to depressive symptoms. Peer victimization and social media addiction are found to be crucial in influencing the development of depression， and positive mental health has been proven to alleviate depressive symptoms， whereas there remains a striking lack of research on the mediating role of positive mental health and social media addiction in the relationship between peer victimization and depressive symptoms among secondary vocational health school students. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between peer victimization and depressive symptoms and investigate the mediating role of positive mental health and social media addiction， so as to provide references for the prevention of depression among secondary vocational health school students. MethodsFrom October to December 2020， a cluster sampling framework was utilized to recruit 7 307 students from a secondary vocational health school in Luzhou City， Sichuan Province. Assessments were performed using Multidimensional Peer Victimization Scale （MPVS）， Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale （WEMWBS）， Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale （BSMAS） and Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）. Spearman correlation analysis was calculated to determine correlations between scores of scales， Process 4.0 was employed to test the mediation effect， and the bias-corrected Bootstrap procedure was used to test the significance of the mediation effect. ResultsA total of 7 044 （96.40%） valid questionnaires were collected. And 4 391（62.34%）students were found to have depressive symptoms. Correlation analysis revealed that PHQ-9 score was positively correlated with BSMAS score and MPVS score （r=0.404， 0.506， P<0.01）. WEMWBS score was negatively correlated with PHQ-9 score， BSMAS score and MPVS score （r=-0.587， -0.259， -0.358， P<0.01）. BSMAS score was positively correlated with MPVS score （r=0.328， P<0.01）. Positive mental health played a mediating role in the relationship between peer victimization and depressive symptoms， with an indirect effect value of 0.130 （95% CI： 0.119~0.141）， accounting for 30.81% of the total effect. Social media addiction also mediated the relationship between peer victimization and depressive symptoms， with an indirect effect value of 0.052 （95% CI： 0.045~0.059）， accounting for 12.34% of the total effect. Positive mental health and social media addiction exhibited a chained mediation effect on the relationship between peer victimization and depressive symptoms， with an indirect effect value of 0.012 （95% CI： 0.010~0.014） and accounting for 2.84% of the total effect. ConclusionPeer victimization can affect the presence of depressive symptoms among secondary vocational health school students both directly and indirectly through either separate or chained mediation of positive mental health and social media addiction.

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), the most commonly-occurring form of hearing loss, is caused mainly by injury to or the loss of hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons in the cochlea. Numerous environmental and physiological factors have been shown to cause acquired SNHL, such as ototoxic drugs, noise exposure, aging, infections, and diseases. Several programmed cell death (PCD) pathways have been reported to be involved in SNHL, especially some novel PCD pathways that have only recently been reported, such as ferroptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis. Here we summarize these PCD pathways and their roles and mechanisms in SNHL, aiming to provide new insights and potential therapeutic strategies for SNHL by targeting these PCD pathways.

Tumor cells adapt their metabolism to meet the demands for energy and biosynthesis.Mitochondria,pivotal organelles in the metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells,contribute to tumorigenesis and cancer progression significantly through various dysfunctions in both tumor and immune cells.Alterations in mitochondrial dynamics and metabolic signaling pathways exert crucial regulatory influence on the activation,proliferation,and differentiation of immune cells.The tumor microenvironment orchestrates the activation and functionality of tumor-infiltrating immune cells by reprogramming mitochondrial metabolism and inducing shifts in mitochondrial dynamics,thereby facilitating the establishment of a tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment.Stress-induced leakage of mitochondrial DNA contributes multifaceted regulatory effects on anti-tumor immune responses and the immunosuppressive microenvironment by activating multiple natural immune signals,including cGAS-STING,TLR9,and NLRP3.Moreover,mitochondrial DNA-mediated immunogenic cell death emerges as a promising avenue for anti-tumor immunotherapy.Additionally,mitochondrial reactive oxygen species,a crucial factor in tumorigenesis,drives the formation of tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment by changing the composition of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment.This review focuses on the intrinsic relationship between mitochondrial biology and anti-tumor immune responses from multiple angles.We explore the core role of mitochondria in the dynamic interplay between the tumor and the host to facilitate the development of targeted mitochondrial strategies for anti-tumor immunotherapy.

Objective To observe the feasibility of cardiac MR tissue tracking(CMR-TT)technique for quantitatively evaluating myocardial strain of patients with myocardial amyloidosis(CA).Methods Cardiac MRI were collected from 20 patients of immunoglobulin amyloid light-chain CA(AL-CA,group A),20 cases of transthyretin CA(ATTR-CA,group B)and 20 healthy subjects(group C),and myocardial strain parameters were obtained using CMR-TT technique.Left ventricular cardiac function parameters were compared among 3 groups,so were strain parameters of each myocardial segment of left ventricle and global myocardium,including 3D longitudinal strain(LS),3D radial strain(RS)and 3D circumferential strain(CS).Results Compared with those in group C,significant differences of left ventricular cardiac function parameters were found in both group A and B(all P＜0.01),while no statistical difference was found between group A and B(all P＞0.05).Except for apical segment RS(P=0.81),strain parameters in group A and B were both lower than those in group C(all P＜0.01),while no significant difference was detected between group A and B(all P＞0.05).Conclusion CMR-TT technique could be used to quantitatively evaluate left ventricular myocardial strain of CA patients.

Tumor cells adaptively reforge their metabolism to meet the demands of energy and biosynthesis. Mitochondria, pivotal organelles in the metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells, contribute to tumorigenesis and cancer progression significantly through various dysfunctions in both tumor and immune cells. Alterations in mitochondrial dynamics and metabolic signaling pathways exert crucial regulatory influence on the activation, proliferation, and differentiation of immune cells. The tumor microenvironment orchestrates the activation and functionality of tumor-infiltrating immune cells by reprogramming mitochondrial metabolism and inducing shifts in mitochondrial dynamics, thereby facilitating the establishment of a tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. Stress-induced leakage of mitochondrial DNA contributes multifaceted regulatory effects on anti-tumor immune responses and the immunosuppressive microenvironment by activating multiple natural immune signals, including cGAS-STING, TLR9, and NLRP3. Moreover, mitochondrial DNA-mediated immunogenic cell death emerges as a promising avenue for anti-tumor immunotherapy. Additionally, mtROS, a crucial factor in tumorigenesis, drives the formation of tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment by changing the composition of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment. This review focuses on the intrinsic relationship between mitochondrial biology and anti-tumor immune responses from multiple angles. We expect to explore the core role of mitochondria in the dynamic interplay between the tumor and the host, in order to facilitate the development of targeted mitochondrial strategies for anti-tumor immunotherapy.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanism of galangin （GAL） on hepatocyte apoptosis in rats with obstructive jaundice （OJ） based on the Janus kinase 2 （JAK2）/signal transduction and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） signaling pathway. METHODS Taking male SD rats as the object， the OJ model was established by double ligation of common bile duct， and 48 rats with successful modeling were randomly separated into OJ model group （model group）， low-dose GAL group （GAL-L group）， high-dose GAL group （GAL-H group） and high-dose GAL+JAK2 activator colivelin group （GAL-H+ colivelin group）， with 12 rats in each group； another 12 SD rats with laparotomy/abdominal closure without ligation were selected as sham operation group （sham group）. Each administration group was given relevant medicine intragastrically and/or intraperitoneally， once a day， for 7 consecutive days. After the last medication， the morphology of liver tissue in rats was observed； the serum levels of total bilirubin （TBIL）， direct bilirubin （DBIL）， alanine transaminase （ALT） and γ -glutamyltransferase （GGT）， as well as the levels of superoxide dismutase （SOD） and malondialdehyde （MDA） in mail：guoweishengjcy@126.com liver tissue were detected. The apoptotic rate of liver tissue cells， the expression levels of signaling pathway-related proteins （phosphorylated JAK2， JAK2， phosphorylated STAT3， STAT3） and apoptosis-related proteins [B cell lymphoma 2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2 related X protein （Bax）] were determined. RESULTS Compared with sham group， congestion of liver sinusoids， damage to liver lobules， disordered arrangement and swollen morphology of liver cells， the disappearance of nucleoli， and significant infiltration of inflammatory cells and fibrous tissue proliferation were observed in model group； the serum levels of TBIL， DBIL， ALT and GGT， the level of MDA in liver tissue， the apoptosis rate of liver cells， the protein expression of Bax， and the protein phosphorylation levels of JAK2 and STAT3 in liver tissue of model group were increased significantly （P＜0.05）； the level of SOD and the protein expression of Bcl-2 in liver tissue were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the pathological injuries of liver tissue were relieved in GAL-L group and GAL-H group， all quantitative indicators had significantly improved， and the effect of GAL-H group was more significant （P＜ 0.05）. Colivelin could significantly reverse the improvement effects of GAL on liver injury and related indicators of OJ rats （P＜ 0.05）. CONCLUSIONS GAL may inhibit liver cell apoptosis in OJ rats， improve liver function and alleviate oxidant stress， the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND:Red light irradiation and silver ion dressing are mostly used to treat chronic difficult healing wounds clinically,but the optimal irradiation time of red light irradiation and silver ion dressing for chronic non-healing wounds,and the combination of different silver ion dressings have not been determined. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the optimal irradiation time and dressing combination of red light and silver ion dressing in the therapy of chronic non-healing wounds. METHODS:The chronic non-healing wound model was made by applying Staphylococcus aureus on the whole skin defect and subcutaneous hydrocortisone injection in SD rats.72 rat models were randomly divided into 4 groups with 18 rats in each group by random number table method.The rats were treated on the basis of standard dressing change and the following therapy:A1B1 group(red irradiation 20 minutes + lipid hydrocolloidal silver sulfate dressing),A1B2 group(red light irradiation 20 minutes + calcium alginate fiber dressing),A2B1 group(red light irradiation 30 minutes + lipid hydrocolloidal silver sulfate dressing),and A2B2 group(red light irradiation 30 minutes + calcium alginate fiber dressing);change dressing,irradiate once,and change dressing every 24 hours.After 14 days of continuous treatment,wound healing rate,bacterial colony number,inflammatory response,histomorphology and angiogenesis were detected in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the extension of treatment time,the wound healing rate of rats in the four groups was increased,and the wound healing rate of rats in the A2B2 group at 3,7,and 14 days after treatment was higher than that in the other three groups(P<0.05).(2)The wound bacterial culture results on day 7 after treatment demonstrated that the number of bacterial colonies in the A2B2 group was lower than that in the other three groups(P<0.05).Western blot assay exhibited that with the extension of treatment time,the protein expressions of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-6 in wound tissue of rats in the four groups were decreased,while the protein expressions of interleukin-10 were increased.The protein expressions of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-6 in the A2B2 group were lower than those in the other three groups(P<0.05).The protein expression of interleukin-10 in the A2B2 group was higher than that of the other three groups(P<0.05).(3)The wound hematoxylin-eosin staining on day 14 after treatment demonstrated that a large number of collagen fibers in the A2B2 group were parallel distributed and the most closely connected,which was significantly better than the other three groups.(4)The results of immunofluorescence staining indicated that the fluorescence intensity expression of CD31 in the A2B2 group was higher than that in the A1B1,A1B2 and A2B1 groups(P<0.05).q-PCR detection at 3,7,and 14 days after treatment exhibited that the mRNA expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor a and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 in the A2B2 group were higher than those in the other three groups(P<0.05).Western blot assay at 3,7 and 14 days after treatment revealed that the protein expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor a and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 in the A2B2 group were higher than those in the other three groups(P<0.05).(5)These findings confirm that 30 minutes of red light irradiation combined with silver alginate fiber dressing has better results in treatment of chronic non-healing wounds.

Objective To explore the mechanism of micro ribonucleic acid(miR)-3197 in diabetic retinopathy(DR)on the basis of the nuclear factor κB(NF-κB)signaling pathway.Methods A total of 47 DR patients admitted to Heng-shui People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021 were selected as the DR group,and 47 healthy individuals in the same period were collected as the control group.Their information in gender,age,fasting blood glucose(FBG),fast-ing insulin(FINS),triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC)and miR-3197 were compared.The correlation between miR-3197 in DR patients and laboratory data was analyzed,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of miR-3197 for DR diagnosis was drawn.The human retinal microvascular endothelial cells(hRMECs)were cultured in vitro and treated with 5.5 mmol·L-1 glucose[low glucose(NG)group]and 30 mmol·L-1 glucose[high glucose(HG)group],respectively.After transfecting with anti-miR-NC and anti-miR-3197,the cells were treated with 30 mmol·L-1 glucose(HG+anti-miR-NC group and HG+anti-miR-3197 group).Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the relative expression level of miR-3197,flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of hRMECs,enzyme-linked im-munosorbent assay was used for detecting tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-a)and interleukin-6(IL-6),and Western blot was adopted to detect the expressions of aspartic protease 3 containing cysteine(cleaved caspase-3)protein,Bax protein and NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins[phospho-NF-KB p65(p-p65),p65,phospho-NF-KB inhibited protein(p-IκBα),and NF-κB inhibited protein(IκBα)].Results The levels of FBG,FINS,TC and TG in the DR group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.001).The relative expression level of miR-3197 in the peripheral blood of patients in the DR group(2.76±0.67)was higher than that of the control group(1.03±0.34),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The miR-3197 level of patients in the DR group was positively correlated with FBG,FINS,TC and TG levels(r=0.672,0.587,0.511 and 0.423;all P＜0.05).The ROC curve graph showed that the area under the curve was 0.919,with sensitivity and specificity of 85.11％and 89.36％,respectively.Compared with the NG group,the HG group showed a significant increase in cell apoptosis rate and the pro-tein expressions of cleaved caspase-3,Bax,TNF-a,IL-6,p-IκBa and p-p65(all P＜0.05);compared with the HG+anti-miR-NC group,the HG+anti-miR-3197 group showed a significant decrease in cell apoptosis rate and the protein expres-sions of cleaved caspase-3,Bax,TNF-a,IL-6,p-IκBa and p-p65(allP＜0.05).Conclusion The miR-3197 is highly ex-pressed in the peripheral blood of DR patients and high glucose-induced hRMECs.Down-regulation of miR-3197 can allevi-ate high glucose-induced hRMEC apoptosis and inflammatory injury,and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhi-bition of the NF-κB signaling pathway.
