Objective To study the effect of esketamine on postoperative inflammatory celluar cyto-kines and mental state in the patients with total hysterectomy.Methods A total of 162 patients with elective laparoscopic total hysterectomy in Wenzhou municipal Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from August 2020 to June 2024 were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into the control group(n=54),low-dose group(n=53)and high-dose group(n=55).The three groups routinely conducted the general anesthesia.The low-dose group and high dose group were intravenously injected by 0.2 mg/kg and 0.4 mg/kg esketamine once at preoperative 10 min respectively,and the same amount of normal saline in the control group was injected.The general condition and operation time in the three groups,occur-rence of nausea and vomiting,hallucinations,nightmares,agitation,drowsiness and dizziness on postoperative 1 d as well as the VAS scores in 3 groups were recorded.Venous blood on preoperative 1 d(T0),postoperative 1 d(T1)and 3 d(T2)was collected,the levels of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor pyrin domain protein 3(NLRP3),interleukin(IL)-6,IL-1β,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and neuropeptide Y(NPY)were measured.The Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HA-MA)and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAMD)were used to evaluate the anxiety and depression of the patients.The difference in the HAMA scores generated based on general data at T2 among various the sub-groups between the low-dose group and the control group was analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,the incidence rate of nausea and vomiting and VAS score in the low-dose group and high-dose group were lower,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the levels of NLRP3,IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α at T1 and T2 in the low-dose group and high-dose group were lower,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the BDNF level at T1 and T2 in the low dose group and high dose group was higher,the NPY level was lower,and the differ-ences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with at T0,the HAMA and HAMD scores of T1 and T2 in the low-dose group and high-dose group were decraesed,and the differences were statistically significant(P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,the HAMA and HAMD scores at T1 and T2 time points the low-dose group and high-dose group were lower,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Esketamine could improve the anxiety and depression condition and reduce the inflammation level in the patients.

Oral inflammatory diseases caused by odontogenic infections cover a wide range and have a high incidence rate,which can affect the morphology and function of the maxillofacial area and seriously en-danger oral health.Macrophages are important immunoactive cells in oral tissues,which can be polarized into M1/M2 type in different microenvironments,and then exert pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory effects,and are widely involved in the progression of odontogenic infectious diseases.In infections caused by oral mi-crobial factors such as bacteria,the distribution characteristics and polarization direction of macrophages in tis-sues are specific.At present,the research on macrophage polarization-related inflammatory diseases has attrac-ted more and more attention,and the regulation of macrophage M1/M2 polarization is gradually being used in the treatment of related diseases,and many research progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of odontogenic infectious diseases.In this paper,we elaborate on the distribution characteristics,polarization trends and related applications of macrophage polarization in common oral inflammatory diseases such as pul-pitis,apical periodontitis,periodontitis and peri-implantitis which are mainly caused by dental infections.The aim is to provide new ideas and targets for the diagnosis and treatment of oral inflammatory diseases.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains a refractory subtype of breast cancer due to its resistance to various therapeutic strategies. In this study, we introduce a "brake-release and accelerator-pressing" approach to engineer a microneedle patch embedded with copper-doped Prussian blue nanoparticles (Cu-PB) and the ferroptosis inducer sorafenib (SRF) for raised chemodynamic (CDT)/photothermal (PTT) combination therapy against TNBC. Upon transdermal insertion, the dissolving microneedles swiftly disintegrate and facilitate the release of SRF. Under gentle external light exposure, copper ions (Cu²⁺) and iron ions (Fe³⁺) were liberated from Cu-PB. The direct chelation of Cu²⁺ and the indirect suppression by SRF, collectively attenuate glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) enzymatic function, destabilizing the cellular redox equilibrium (referred to as the "brake-release" strategy). The release of Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions instigates a Fenton/Fenton-like reaction within tumor cells, further yielding hydroxyl radicals and elevating reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentrations (referred to as the "accelerator-pressing" strategy). This overwhelming ROS accumulation, coupled with the impaired clearance of resultant lipid peroxides (LPO), ultimately triggers a robust ferroptosis cell death response. In summary, this study presents an innovative combinatorial therapeutic strategy based on dual-ferroptosis induction for TNBC, implying a promising therapeutic platform for developing ferroptosis-centered treatments for this aggressive breast cancer subtype.

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) is a specific form of post-translational modification (PTM) predominantly triggered by the activation of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1). However, the role and mechanism of PARylation in the advancement of acute kidney injury (AKI) remain undetermined. Here, we demonstrated the significant upregulation of PARP1 and its associated PARylation in murine models of AKI, consistent with renal biopsy findings in patients with AKI. This elevation in PARP1 expression might be attributed to trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3). Furthermore, a reduction in PARylation levels mitigated renal dysfunction in the AKI mouse models. Mechanistically, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry indicated that PARylation mainly occurred in receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1), thereby facilitating its subsequent phosphorylation. Moreover, the phosphorylation of RACK1 enhanced its dimerization and accelerated the ubiquitination-mediated hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) degradation, thereby exacerbating kidney injury. Additionally, we identified a PARP1 proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC), A19, as a PARP1 degrader that demonstrated superior protective effects against renal injury compared with PJ34, a previously identified PARP1 inhibitor. Collectively, both genetic and drug-based inhibition of PARylation mitigated kidney injury, indicating that the PARylated RACK1/HIF-1α axis could be a promising therapeutic target for AKI treatment.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP), whose etiology is influenced by genetic and clinical risk factors, considerably impacts women's quality of life. However, the genetic underpinnings in non-European populations and comprehensive risk models integrating genetic and clinical factors remain underexplored. This study constructed the first polygenic risk score (PRS) for POP in the Chinese population by utilizing 20 disease-associated variants from the largest existing genome-wide association study. We analyzed a discovery cohort of 576 cases and 623 controls and a validation cohort of 264 cases and 200 controls. Results showed that the case group exhibited a significantly higher PRS than the control group. Moreover, the odds ratio of the top 10% risk group was 2.6 times higher than that of the bottom 10%. A high PRS was significantly correlated with POP occurrence in women older than 50 years old and in those with one or no childbirths. As far as we know, the integrated prediction model, which combined PRS and clinical risk factors, demonstrated better predictive accuracy than other existing PRS models. This combined risk assessment model serves as a robust tool for POP risk prediction and stratification, thereby offering insights into individualized preventive measures and treatment strategies in future clinical practice.
