1.Social risks of medical cosmetic surgery and their resolutions
Chinese Medical Ethics 2025;38(10):1252-1258
People are increasingly concerned about their appearance nowadays, and medical cosmetic surgery has also gained a significant position in contemporary society due to the growing demand. While bringing about “beauty,” medical cosmetic surgery also conceals certain social risks. They are mainly manifested in the following two aspects. Firstly, it is easy to lead to the homogenization of aesthetic dimensions, causing the loss of diversity in “beauty” and creating a “one-dimensional person.” Secondly, it is highly prone to fall into the authoritarianism of “beauty,” which can further endanger social fairness and justice. Zhuangzi’s thinking on “beauty” helps to mitigate the social risks brought about by medical cosmetic surgery and enables us to rediscover the diversity of “beauty.” It can also promote personal comprehensive development and maintain social fairness and justice by achieving the unity of “beauty” and “goodness”.

Purpose To detect the expression of peroxiso-mal membrane protein 4(PXMP4)in breast cancer tissues and to explore the effect of PXMP4 on the proliferation,invasion,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)of breast cancer cells.Methods Bioinformatics and immunohistochemistry(IHC)were used to detect the expression of PXMP4 in breast cancer tissues.In breast cancer cells,Western blot was used to detect the expression of Cyclin D1,E-cadherin,vimentin and N-cadherin after knockdown and overexpression of PMXP4.The proliferation ability of breast cancer cells was analyzed by CCK-8 and plate cloning assay.Scratch healing and Transwell assay an-alyzed the migration and invasion ability of breast cancer cells.Lentivirus was used to construct a PXMP4-silenced MCF-7 cell line,and the PXMP4-silenced MCF-7 cells were injected into the subcutaneous or tail vein of mice to observe lung metastasis and the number of subcutaneous tumors.Results Bioinformat-ics and IHC showed that the expression of PXMP4 in breast cancer tissues was significantly increased(P<0.05),and the prognosis of breast cancer patients with high expression of PXMP4 was poor(P<0.05).The clinicopathological analysis showed that the expression of PXMP4 was correlated with tumor grade and lymph node metastasis(P<0.05).In vitro knock-down of PMXP4 inhibited the proliferation,invasion and EMT process of breast cancer cells(P<0.05).Conversely,overex-pression of PXMP4 promoted the proliferation,invasion and EMT process of breast cancer cells(P<0.05).In vivo,the number of lung metastases,the size of subcutaneous tumor,and the expression of Ki67 in tumor tissue were significantly de-creased after silenced PXMP4(P<0.05).Conclusion PXMP4 is related to tumor grading and lymph node metastasis.PXMP4 promotes proliferation,invasion and EMT process of breast cancer cells.

Objective:To evaluate the role of transient receptor potential melastatin2 (TRPM2) in sevoflurane anesthesia-induced necroptosis in hippocampal neurons of aged rats.Methods:Sixty SPF-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 22 months, weighing 550-600 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), sevoflurane anesthesia group (group M) and sevoflurane anesthesia+ TRPM2 inhibitor group (group M+ A). M and M+ A groups inhaled 2% sevoflurane for 5 h. In group M+ A, TRPM2 inhibitor ACA 20 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before sevoflurane inhalation, and the equal volume of dimethyl sulfoxide was intraperitoneally injected in group C and group M. Morris water maze test was performed at 1 day after sevoflurane anesthesia. The escape latency, times of crossing the original platform and time spent in the original platform quadrant were collected. The expression of TRPM2 and necroptosis-related proteins (mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein [MLKL], receptor-interacting protein kinase-1 [RIPK1], phosphorylated MLKL [p-MLKL], and phosphorylated RIPK1 [p-RIPK1]) was detected by Western blot. The cytosolic Ca 2+ concentration in and necroptosis rate of hippocampal neurons were determined by flow cytometry. Results:Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the times of crossing the original platform were decreased and the time spent in the original platform quadrant was shortened, the expression of TRPM2, MLKL, RIPK1, p-MLKL and p-RIPK1 was up-regulated, and the cytosolic Ca 2+ concentrations in hippocampal neurons and necroptosis rate of hippocampal neurons were increased in group M and group M+ A ( P<0.05). Compared with group M, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the times of crossing the original platform were increased, and the time spent in the original platform quadrant was prolonged, the expression of TRPM2, MLKL, RIPK1, p-MLKL and p-RIPK1 was down-regulated, and the cytosolic Ca 2+ concentrations in hippocampal neurons and necroptosis rate of hippocampal neurons were decreased in group M+ A ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Hippocampal TRPM2 is involved in the process of sevoflurane anesthesia-induced necroptosis in hippocampal neurons of aged rats.

Objective:To investigate the association of lipoprotein a (Lpa) in early pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk.Methods:A total of 445 pregnant women in 12-14 gestational weeks from "Maternal Key Nutritional Factors and Offspring's Atopic Dermatitis" cohort were included in this study. The demographic characteristics of participants were collected by using questionnaires, and the fasting glucose and lipids levels in early pregnancy were measured. The results of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between 24-28 gestational weeks were recorded. Multivariate logistic regression model was applied to analyze the association of Lpa with GDM by calculating the OR and 95% CI after adjustment for covariates. Results:The incidence number of GDM was 78 (17.5%). The Lpa level in pregnant women with GDM was significantly higher than that in pregnant women without GDM [105.5 (92.0, 122.0) vs. 97.0 (87.0, 109.0) mg/L], P<0.05. Lpa was significantly associated with GDM risk [ OR (95% CI) =1.21(1.08-1.36) per 10 mg/L], P<0.05. The association was still significant after adjustment for covariates including age, gestational weeks et al, the adjusted OR was 1.14 (95% CI: 1.01-1.30), P=0.03. Conclusions:The elevation of Lpa in early pregnancy is one of risk factor for GDM. Maintaining normal Lpa level during early pregnancy can benefit early prevention of GDM and offspring health.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of carbon monoxide-releasing molecule-3 (CORM-3) on blood transfusion-related acute lung injury in rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods:Seventy-two clean-grade healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 300-350 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=18 each) using the random number table method: sham operation group (group S), TBI group (T group), TBI plus 10 ml/kg plasma transfusion group (TP group), and TBI plus 10 ml/kg plasma transfusion plus CORM-3 group (TPC group). TBI was induced by dropping a 20-g weight from 20 cm height falling freely in anesthetized rats.Plasma 10 ml/kg was infused via the femoral vein after TBI in TP and TPC groups.The rats were sacrificed at 24 h after plasma transfusion, and lung tissues were obtained for determination of wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio, cell apoptosis, and expression of caspase-3, Bid, Bim and Puma (by Western blot). The lung injury score was calculated using the results of HE staining.Lung ultrasonography was performed for assessment of sonographic score, and the apoptosis rate was calculated by the TUNEL staining method. Results:Compared with S group, the W/D ratio, lung injury score, sonographic score and apoptosis rate were significantly increased, and the expression of activated caspase-3, Bid, Bim and Puma was up-regulated in the other three groups ( P<0.05). Compared with T group, the W/D ratio, lung injury score, sonographic score and apoptosis rate were significantly increased, and the expression of activated caspase-3, Bid, Bim and Puma was up-regulated in TP group ( P<0.05). Compared with TP group, the W/D ratio, lung injury score, sonographic score and apoptosis rate were significantly decreased, and the expression of activated caspase-3, Bid, Bim and Puma was down-regulated in TPC group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:CORM-3 can reduce acute lung injury related to blood transfusion in rats with TBI, and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting cell apoptosis in lung tissues.
