Objective:To investigate the differential expression profiles of long non-coding RNAs(LncRNAs) and messenger RNAs(mRNAs) regulated by soluble dipeptidyl peptidase-4(sDPP4) during vascular smooth muscle cell calcification, and to explore the potential underlying calcification mechanisms.Methods:DPP4 levels in blood vessels and peripheral blood of diabetic patients were measured using Western blotting(WB) and real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR). A cellular calcification model was established by treating human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells(HASMCs) with sDPP4. The effects of sDPP4 on HASMCs were assessed by WB, RT-qPCR, alizarin red staining, and calcium content determination. High-throughput sequencing was performed to analyze the differential expression profiles of LncRNA and mRNA following sDPP4 treatment. Among them, LncRNA ENST00000540293, which exhibited the most pronounced downregulation and was located adjacent to the matrix metalloproteinase-1(MMP-1) gene, was selected for further investigation. The osteogenic transdifferentiation of HASMCs after silencing LncRNA ENST00000540293 was evaluated using WB, RT-qPCR, alizarin red staining, and immunofluorescence-based cytoskeletal staining.Results:DPP4 expression was significantly elevated in both blood vessels and peripheral blood of diabetic patients. sDPP4 stimulation upregulated the protein levels of osteopontin(OPN) and runt-related transcription factor 2(RUNX2) in HASMCs, enhanced alizarin red staining, and increased intracellular calcium deposition. RNA sequencing revealed significant downregulation of LncRNA ENST00000540293 following sDPP4 exposure, while GO and pathway analysis indicated a marked increase in extracellular matrix binding activity(GO: 0050840). Silencing LncRNA ENST00000540293 suppressed α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) expression, promoted OPN and RUNX2 expression, increased calcification as shown by positive alizarin red staining, and cytoskeletal staining demonstrated osteogenic transdifferentiation of HASMCs, accompanied by a significant rise in MMP-1 protein level.Conclusion:sDPP4 promotes osteogenic transdifferentiation of HASMCs, potentially by downregulating LncRNA ENST00000540293. MMP-1 may be a potential target regulated by LncRNA ENST00000540293.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the usage of mental health assistance hotline during COVID-19 in Zhejiang province from January 25th to February 29th 2020, and summarize the characteristics of the demand for mental health services and the dynamic changes of public mental health status during COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS:
Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The calls related to pandemic were divided into four categories: medical, psychological, information and the others. The secondary categories of psychological calls were determined by text analysis. The number of calls were calculated weekly and the number of various types of calls over time were analyzed. We used stratified random sampling method to extract 600 cases of all kinds of calls related to pandemic and conducted a semantic analysis, through marking new, similar combination to form a feature set, then summed up the call content characteristics of each stage. Two hundred callers were followed up to understand how they felt about the call process in four aspects: the waiting time, call duration, the degree of problem-solving and the way to end the call.
RESULTS:
In a total of 13 746 calls, 8978 were related to pandemic, among which 12.59%(1130/8978) were about medical issues, 26.50%(2379/8978) were about mental health, 27.18%(2440/8978) were about information regarding the pandemic and 33.74%(3029/8978) were about other pandemic related issues. Pandemic situation, relevant policy release, frequency of advertising campaigns were predictors of the number of calls per day during the pandemic (<0.05 or <0.01). The number of calls differed by gender and identities of callers (both <0.05). Finally 181 callers accepted telephone follow-up. Among them, 51.38%(93/181) of the callers thought that the waiting time was too long, 33.15%(60/181) of the callers thought that the call time was insufficient, 80.66%(146/181) of callers believed that the hotline could partially or completely resolve their concerns, and 39.23%(71/181) of the callers said the operator proposed to end the call.
CONCLUSIONS
s The changes of the number and content of the mental health assistance hotline calls reflected that the public mental health status experienced four stages during the pandemic: confusion, panic, boredom, and adjustment. The specialized mental health assistance hotlines should be further strengthened, and the efficiency should be improved. Mental health interventions should be tailored and adopted according to the characteristics of the public mental health status at different stages of the pandemic.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the effects of three dentine desensitizers on the surface morphology of freshly exposed dentin and to evaluate their occlusion effects on dentinal tubules using scanning electron microscope (SEM).
METHODS:
A total of 16 isolated human premolar samples, which were prepared to expose dentine, were randomly divided into a control group (n=4), a Hybrid Coat group (n=4), a Prime & Bond NT group (n=4), and a anti-sensitivity toothpaste group (n=4). After treatment with dentine desensitizers, one half of the samples in each group were vertically cleaved. Finally, the surfaces and cross sections of the samples were observed by SEM.
RESULTS:
The exposed tubule was almost occluded in the Hybrid Coat group and the Prime & Bond NT group, while only the majority of tubules could be sealed in the anti-sensitivity toothpaste group. The cross-section images showed that sediments were visible in all groups except the control group.
CONCLUSION
Hybrid Coat and Prime & Bond NT are able to effectively seal tubules, while the effect of anti-sensitivity toothpaste is slightly poor.
