ObjectiveTo systematically assess the public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province, to conduct an in-depth analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, so as to provide scientific basis and strategic recommendations for further enhancement. MethodsA systematic collection of policy documents, public information reports, and research literature related to public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province from 2002 to 2023 was conducted (encompassing a total of 1 263 policy documents, 138 pieces of information reports and 631 research articles). Based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems previously developed by the research team, the basic status and magnitude of change in public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province was evaluated. Additionally, normative gap analyses were employed to identify the strengths and weaknesses. ResultsZhejiang Province ranked 4th nationwide in terms of public health governance capacity with a score of 733.4 points (1 000.0-point maximum). The province has effectively implemented the principle of health first (scoring 698.5 points in the assessment of health-first strategy implementation) and attached sufficient importance to health-related goals (scoring 658.2 points in the scientific rationality of goal setting). However, the implementation of inter-departmental coordination and incentive mechanisms only scored 178.7 points, the feasibility of management and monitoring mechanisms scored even lower at only 144.0 points, and the coverage of incentive mechanisms scored 286.0 points. ConclusionZhejiang Province has effectively implemented its health first strategy and attached great importance to health targets, but still needs to strengthen cross-departmental coordination mechanisms and health-oriented incentives.

Purpose To investigate the presence,proportion,clinical significance and origin of tumor cells with a macrophage phenotype in tumor tissues of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL),and to explore wheth-er CD68 positive tumor cells can be induced in DLBCL cell lines in vitro.Methods The presence of CD68+CD163+CD20+PAX5-cells in the samples of DLBCL patients was first qualitatively detected by multiplex immunofluorescence staining,and then the proportion of CD79a+B lymphocytes,CD68+macrophages,and CD68+CD79a+double-positive cells were quantified.Patients were grouped according to the proportion of double-positive cells,and the differences in prognosis and clinicopathological features of DLBCL patients between subgroups were investigated.For cases with posi-tive BCL6 gene locus breaks,co-localization of CD68 with BCL6 gene breakapart was performed using combined immu-nofluorescence and immunological in situ hybridization to ascertain the tumor nature of B cell with a macrophage pheno-type.DLBCL cell lines(OCI-LY3,SU-DHL2)were treated with phorbol myristate acetate(PMA),and changes in the proteins levels of CD68 and PAX5 proteins were detected by flow cytometry.Quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect mRNA levels of PAX5,an important transcription factor for B cell differentiation and develop-ment,and macrophage-related genes(CD68,ARG1,CD163,CD206,Dectin-1,PU.1,C/EBPα,C/EBPβ).In ad-dition,PMA-treated DLBCL cell lines(OCI-LY3,SU-DHL2)were co-incubated with pH-sensitive fluorescent dye pHrodo to detect the phagocytosis ability of PMA-treated DLBCL cells.Results The percentage of CD68+B lympho-cytes in 50 patients with DLBCL varied from 0 to 9.3%,and the overall survival(OS)ranged from 0.008 2 to 4.2 years.Patients with the low CD68+B lymphocytes group exhibited a significantly lower OS compared to those in the high CD68+B lymphocytes group(P=0.039).There was a significant difference in the molecular typing of DLBCL patients(P=0.009 5)between different subgroups for the proportion of CD68+B lymphocytes.CD68+B lymphocytes were derived from tumor cells in DLBCL patients.The proportion of CD68+cells and CD68+PAX5-cells significantly increased in DLBCL after treatment with PMA(P<0.05).The other macrophage markers CD68,ARG1,CD 163,CD206,Dectin-1,PU.1,C/EBPα,C/EBPβ,and the important B-cell transcription factor PAX5 were significantly different from the control group in terms of relative mRNA expression(P<0.05).Cellular phagocytosis was enhanced after PMA treatment of DLBCL cells.Conclusion Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma tumor tissue contains a certain per-centage of CD68+neoplastic B lymphocytes.The proportion of CD68+B lymphocytes is correlated with patient progno-sis and molecular typing.DLBCL cell lines can be induced to differentiate into CD68+tumor cells in vitro.

Objective:To preliminarily explore whether sirtuin1 (SIRT1) activation can inhibit neuronal ferroptosis in rats after traumatic brain injury (TBI) by regulating hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-mediated glycolysis.Methods:(1) Six SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group and TBI group, with 3 rats in each group; TBI model in the TBI group was established by hydraulic impact method, and rats in the sham-operated group underwent same surgery without impact. Cortical tissues of the two groups were sent for tandem mass tag (TMT) labeled quantitative proteomics detection to analyze the differential expression proteome; Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were used to detect pathway enrichment of the screened differential proteins. (2) Twelve SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group and 1-day, 3-day and 7-day post-TBI groups, with 3 rats in each group. Treatment methods were the same as above; Western blotting was used to detect SIRT1 protein expression. (3) Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group, TBI group, TBI+vehicle group and TBI+SIRT1 agonist group, with 12 rats in each group; rats in the sham-operated group and TBI group accepted treatment as above; rats in the TBI+SIRT1 agonist group were intraperitoneally injected with SRT1720 (dissolved in ≤ 5% dimethyl sulfoxide, at a dose of 20 mg/kg) within 30 minutes after modeling, twice a day (with an interval of 12 hours); and rats in the TBI+vehicle group were injected with same dose of dimethyl sulfoxide at the same time. One d after modeling, neurological deficit was assessed using modified Neurological severity score (mNSS), brain water content was measured by dry-wet weight method, histopathological changes in the cortical lesions were observed by HE staining, mitochondrial ultrastructure was examined by transmission electron microscopy, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the brain tissues were detected by colorimetry, and protein expressions of SIRT1, HIF-1α (key protein in the glycolytic pathway), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4, key protein in the ferroptosis pathway), and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4, key protein in the ferroptosis pathway) were evaluated by Western blotting.Results:(1) KEGG analysis revealed that the glycolysis pathway and HIF-1 signaling pathway were obviously enriched in the cortical tissues of rats in the TBI group compared with the sham-operated group; GSEA showed that the HIF-1 signaling pathway (mmu04066) and ferroptosis pathway (mmu04216) gene sets in the cortical tissues of rats in the TBI group exhibited enrichment trends compared with those in the sham-operated group. (2) Compared with the sham-operated group, the 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day post-TBI groups had significantly decreased SIRT1 protein expression ( P<0.05), with the most prominent decline in 1-day post-TBI group. (3) Compared with the TBI+vehicle group, rats in the TBI+SIRT1 agonist group showed significantly reduced mNSS score and brain tissue water content (9.83±1.17 vs. 7.66±1.21; [83.62±0.91]% vs. [80.09±0.68]%, P<0.05). HE staining indicated clearer structure of the cortical area at the injury sites, and improved neuron morphology in the TBI+SIRT1 agonist group compared with those in the TBI+vehicle group; and transmission electron microscopy showed reduced mitochondrial shrinkage and partial restoration of cristae structures in the TBI+SIRT1 agonist group compared with those in the TBI+vehicle group. Compared with the TBI+vehicle group, the TBI+SIRT1 agonist group exhibited significantly decreased MDA content ([62.72±9.20] nmol/g vs. [39.34±3.48] nmol/g), increased SOD activity ([1.95±0.23] U/mg vs. [2.48±0.14] U/mg), elevated GPX4 protein expression (0.37±0.04 vs. 0.46±0.03), and decreased HIF-1α and ACSL4 protein expressions (1.16±0.15 vs. 0.81±0.12; 1.14±0.06 vs. 1.29±0.04), with significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SIRT1 activation can exert neuroprotective effect by inhibiting HIF-1α-mediated glycolysis and reducing neuronal ferroptosis after TBI.

Purpose To investigate the presence,proportion,clinical significance and origin of tumor cells with a macrophage phenotype in tumor tissues of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL),and to explore wheth-er CD68 positive tumor cells can be induced in DLBCL cell lines in vitro.Methods The presence of CD68+CD163+CD20+PAX5-cells in the samples of DLBCL patients was first qualitatively detected by multiplex immunofluorescence staining,and then the proportion of CD79a+B lymphocytes,CD68+macrophages,and CD68+CD79a+double-positive cells were quantified.Patients were grouped according to the proportion of double-positive cells,and the differences in prognosis and clinicopathological features of DLBCL patients between subgroups were investigated.For cases with posi-tive BCL6 gene locus breaks,co-localization of CD68 with BCL6 gene breakapart was performed using combined immu-nofluorescence and immunological in situ hybridization to ascertain the tumor nature of B cell with a macrophage pheno-type.DLBCL cell lines(OCI-LY3,SU-DHL2)were treated with phorbol myristate acetate(PMA),and changes in the proteins levels of CD68 and PAX5 proteins were detected by flow cytometry.Quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect mRNA levels of PAX5,an important transcription factor for B cell differentiation and develop-ment,and macrophage-related genes(CD68,ARG1,CD163,CD206,Dectin-1,PU.1,C/EBPα,C/EBPβ).In ad-dition,PMA-treated DLBCL cell lines(OCI-LY3,SU-DHL2)were co-incubated with pH-sensitive fluorescent dye pHrodo to detect the phagocytosis ability of PMA-treated DLBCL cells.Results The percentage of CD68+B lympho-cytes in 50 patients with DLBCL varied from 0 to 9.3%,and the overall survival(OS)ranged from 0.008 2 to 4.2 years.Patients with the low CD68+B lymphocytes group exhibited a significantly lower OS compared to those in the high CD68+B lymphocytes group(P=0.039).There was a significant difference in the molecular typing of DLBCL patients(P=0.009 5)between different subgroups for the proportion of CD68+B lymphocytes.CD68+B lymphocytes were derived from tumor cells in DLBCL patients.The proportion of CD68+cells and CD68+PAX5-cells significantly increased in DLBCL after treatment with PMA(P<0.05).The other macrophage markers CD68,ARG1,CD 163,CD206,Dectin-1,PU.1,C/EBPα,C/EBPβ,and the important B-cell transcription factor PAX5 were significantly different from the control group in terms of relative mRNA expression(P<0.05).Cellular phagocytosis was enhanced after PMA treatment of DLBCL cells.Conclusion Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma tumor tissue contains a certain per-centage of CD68+neoplastic B lymphocytes.The proportion of CD68+B lymphocytes is correlated with patient progno-sis and molecular typing.DLBCL cell lines can be induced to differentiate into CD68+tumor cells in vitro.
