Tricellulin, a key tricellular tight junction (TJ) protein, is essential for maintaining the barrier integrity of acinar epithelia against macromolecular passage in salivary glands. This study aims to explore the role and regulatory mechanism of tricellulin in the development of salivary gland hypofunction in Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Employing a multifaceted approach involving patient biopsies, non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice as a SS model, salivary gland acinar cell-specific tricellulin conditional knockout (TricCKO) mice, and IFN-γ-stimulated salivary gland epithelial cells, we investigated the role of tricellulin in SS-related hyposalivation. Our data revealed diminished levels of tricellulin in salivary glands of SS patients. Similarly, NOD mice displayed a reduction in tricellulin expression from the onset of the disease, concomitant with hyposecretion and an increase in salivary albumin content. Consistent with these findings, TricCKO mice exhibited both hyposecretion and leakage of macromolecular tracers when compared to control animals. Mechanistically, the JAK/STAT1/miR-145 axis was identified as mediating the IFN-γ-induced downregulation of tricellulin. Treatment with AT1001, a TJ sealer, ameliorated epithelial barrier dysfunction, restored tricellulin expression, and consequently alleviated hyposalivation in NOD mice. Importantly, treatment with miR-145 antagomir to specifically recover the expression of tricellulin in NOD mice significantly alleviated hyposalivation and macromolecular leakage. Collectively, we identified that tricellulin deficiency in salivary glands contributed to hyposalivation in SS. Our findings highlight tricellulin as a potential therapeutic target for hyposecretion, particularly in the context of reinforcing epithelial barrier function through preventing leakage of macromolecules in salivary glands.

Objective:To explore the status quo and influencing factors of postnatal sense of security in patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Using the convenience sampling method, a total of 215 patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy and their spouses who gave birth in Women's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from December 2022 to May 2023 were selected as the research objects. The general data questionnaire, Parents' Postnatal Sense of Security (PPSS), Ego-Resiliency Scale (ERS) and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) were used to investigate them. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to explore the factors influencing postpartum security in patients with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy.Results:A total of 215 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 202 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 94.0%. The total score of PPSS maternal version for 202 patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy was (59.32±6.81), while the total score of PPSS paternal version for spouses was (41.28±5.24). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the number of antenatal examinations accompanied by family members, the effect of postpartum blood pressure control, the current state of mother and child, postnatal sense of security of spouse, ego-resiliency and perceived social support were the influencing factors of postnatal sense of security in patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The postnatal sense of security in patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy is at a medium high level. Medical personnel should focus on patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy who are accompanied by their family members less times, poor postpartum blood pressure control and postpartum separation from mother and child, providing them with targeted clinical care to improve their postnatal sense of security.

Objective To understand the proficiency level and sources of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)health education among hemodialysis patients,in order to provide the basis for promoting the application of TCM nursing in hemodialysis patients.Methods Utilizing a convenience sampling approach,we conducted a survey from April to May 2023 involving hemodialysis patients from 7 tertiary TCM hospitals across Beijing,Hebei Province,Sichuan Province,and other regions.Custom-made questionnaires were utilized,gathering general information,respons-es conceming the level of mastery on TCM health education,and their primary sources of such knowledge.Results A total of 413 questionnaires were disseminated,and 392 proved valid,yielding a valid response rate of 94.92%.The score of patient's knowledge on TCM health education averaged(8.25±3.73),and an average score rate of 48.53%was obtained.In the patients undergoing hemodialysis,a relatively larger number of people possess knowl-edge of TCM health knowledge about relieving symptoms(50.8%~55.9%)and traditional Chinese daily life routines(56.4%~90.1%).However,fewer people are aware of how to use the five-tone therapy method for emotional inter-vention(40.8%)and principle of taking restorative Traditional Chinese Medicine(24.5%~36.7%),the dietary prin-ciples of"nurturing yang in spring and summer,and nurturing yin in autumn and winter"(14.3%),and theories of TCM kidney functions(9.9%).Approximately 23.0%of the patients sourced their TCM health education knowledge from new media platforms.Compared with new media method alone,patients who utilized only traditional education-al platforms(P=0.020),and those who combined both new media and traditional methods(P=0.018)demonstrated higher proficiency in TCM health education.Conclusion Hemodialysis caregivers are urged to develop a TCM health education framework that emphasizes emotional well-being and traditional wellness concepts,thereby fostering patient-centric TCM health ideologies.Hemodialysis education personnel are encouraged to leverage new media whilst ensuring education quality and effective outcomes.
