Objective:To investigate the risk factors of colorectal adenomatous polyps.Methods:The clinical data of 395 patients who underwent colonoscopy in the Tongzhou branch, Tongzhou District, Dongzhimen Hospital Affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from August 2017 to August 2021 were analyzed. According to the examination results, adenomatous polyps were divided into adenomatous polyps group (193 cases) and non-polyp group (202 cases). The risk factors of colorectal adenomatous polyps were screened by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:The results of single factor analysis suggested that: body mass index (BMI), sex, age, proportion of blood type A, history of large intestine polyps, history of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, history of alcohol consumption, history of smoking, proportion of heavy oil diet, history of oral calcium, history of oral statins, history of oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, history of oral antibiotics, and high fat diet (pork, beef, and animal organs), high salt diet, love of pickled food, love of sweet food, love of greasy, good mood, anxiety, depression, impatience and irritability, history of hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia were statistically significant in the adenomatous polyp group and the non-polyp group (all P<0.05). Factors with P<0.05 in the above single factor analysis were taken as independent variables, and the incidence of disease was taken as dependent variable for multi-factor logistic regression analysis. The results showed that BMI, age, blood type A, Hp infection history, drinking history, smoking history, oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs history, oral antibiotics history, high salt diet, good mood, hypertension were the influencing factors for the incidence of adenomatous polyps (all P<0.05). Conclusions:High BMI, old age, blood type A, history of Hp infection, smoking history, oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug history, oral antibiotics history, high salt diet and hypertension are risk factors for the development of adenomatous polyps. Drinking alcohol and good mood can reduce the risk of colorectal adenomatous polyps. Therefore, targeted intervention measures can be formulated for high-risk patients to reduce the risk of colorectal adenomatous polyps.

Monotropein is a compound classified into iridoid which is found in herbaceous plants Morindae officinalis. It possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-osteoarthritic activities. Previous study indicates that monotropein may have the potential to combat cardiovascular disease, although the related mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we constructed the model of atherosclerosis by oxidized low density lipoprotein-induced vascular smooth muscle cells and LDLR –/–mice given high-fat diet to investigate the effects of monotropein on atherosclerosis.Our results showed that monotropein treatment significantly reduced the area of atherosclerotic plaques and necrotic cores in mice, inhibited the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells, and reduced inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, which in turn alleviated atherosclerosis. In addition, we found that monotropein reduced the expression levels of P-NF-κB and P-AP-1. In conclusion, our data suggest that monotropein inhibited the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells by mediating the activity of NF-κB, AP-1, reducing the level of inflammation and oxidative stress, and thus resisting the development of atherosclerosis. These findings demonstrate the efficacious therapeutic impact of monotropein on atherosclerosis and elucidate its specific target.

Objective:To explore the quality of life (QOL) and the related influencing factors of patients with early esophageal cancer after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted in 167 early esophageal cancer patients who underwent ESD in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from January 2022 to July 2022. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Assessment Core Scale (EORTC QLQ-C30) and the Esophageal Cancer Supplementary Scale (EORTC QLQ-OES18) were used to compare QOL of patients with different clinical characteristics before surgery, 1 month after surgery and 6 months after surgery, And multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of patients' QOL at 6 months after surgery.Results:EORTC QLQ-C30 showed that the scores of the patients' physical function, role function, and social function at 1 month and 6 months after surgery were lower than those before surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The scores of dyspnea, constipation, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, and economic status in the symptom area were higher than those before surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). According to EORTC QLQ-OES18, the scores of difficulty in swallowing oral fluid, obstruction, poor eating initiative, dry mouth, and cough at 1 month and 6 months after surgery were higher than those before surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The score of dysphagia at 1 month after surgery was higher than that before surgery, while the score at 6 months after surgery was lower than that before surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The score of dyspepsia at 1 month and 6 months after surgery was lower than that before surgery, and the difference was statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the lesion perimeter >1/2 perimeter (lesion perimeter >1/2 perimeter vs. lesion perimeter ≤ 1/2 perimeter: OR = 2.072, 95% CI 1.536-2.796, P < 0.05) and postoperative esophageal stricture dilatation (undergoing esophageal stricture dilatation or not: OR = 2.193, 95% CI 1.429-2.789, P < 0.05) were independent risk factors affecting the QOL of patients at 6 months after surgery. Conclusions:The QOL of early esophageal cancer patients after ESD is decreased compared with that before surgery, and the main manifestations include physical function, role function, social function, and symptom. The area of lesion and undergoing esophageal stricture dilatation or not are factors affecting the QOL of patients after surgery.

Objective:To investigate the effect of liraglutide(LRG) on high glucose-induced oxidative stress injury in(H9c2) cardiomyocytes and its underlying mechanisms.Methods:A high glucose treatment was applied to H9c2 cells for 24 hours to establish an in vitro model of myocardial cell injury. Different concentrations of liraglutide(10, 100, 1000 nmol/L) were administered for intervention. Cell viability was evaluated using the CCK-8 assay, and changes in cell morphology were observed under an inverted microscope. After 24 hours of liraglutide(100 nmol/L) intervention following high glucose treatment, the levels of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), superoxide dismutase(SOD), and malondialdehyde(MDA) in the cell supernatant were measured. RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of silent information regulator factor 1(SIRT1) and forkhead box protein O1(FOXO1). Western blotting was also used to assess the acetylation level of FOXO1 protein. Small interfering RNA(siRNA) technology was employed to silence SIRT1 in H9c2 cells to confirm its role in the study. Results:Compared to the control group, the high glucose group showed decreased cell viability, cell structure damage, increased levels of LDH and MDA in the cell supernatant, decreased SOD levels, aggravated oxidative stress, decreased SIRT1 expression, and increased acetylation level of FOXO1(all P<0.05). Compared to the high glucose group, liraglutide intervention resulted in increased cell viability, improved cardiac cell morphology, reduced oxidative stress levels, increased SIRT1 expression, and decreased acetylation level of FOXO1(all P<0.05). When SIRT1 was downregulated, the protective effects of liraglutide were weakened(all P<0.05). Conclusions:Liraglutide has a protective effect against high glucose-induced oxidative stress injury in H9c2 cells, which may be associated with the upregulation of SIRT1 expression.
