Citrus, which has been consumed internationally for a long time, is widely used as a health food. Citrus and its active components exert significant effects on oxidative stress and lipid metabolism, which are closely associated with female reproductive health. Studies suggest that citrus-derived compounds may alleviate oxidative stress by activating signaling pathways such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), and improve lipid metabolism through the activation of pathways such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). This review focuses on the effects of Citrus on oxidative stress and lipid metabolism, aiming to provide new insights for promoting female reproductive health; however, further work is needed to elucidate the mechanisms involved and validate the therapeutic potential of Citrus's bioactive components in clinical settings.

Objective To investigate the association between microvariants at locus DYS570 and Y-SNPs haplogroup.Methods 89 Y-SNPs and 34 Y-STRs in AIYSNP42,AIYSNP47 and YfilerTM Platinum kits were used to detect the genotype of 116 microvariants at locus DYS570 in Kunming,and the Set-B kit was used to detect the core repeat sequences of the DYS570 locus.The data were statistically analyzed by direct counting method.Then,a network map was drawn by Network 10.2,in order to visualize the genetic information of the sample.Results The results demonstrated that 111 DYS570/18.3-21.3 samples had a core repeat sequence of TTT[TITC]18-21,belonging to subgroup O2a2b1a1a1a4-F14494.A DYS570/20.3 sample had a core repeat sequence of[TTTC]15TTC[TTTC]5,belonging to O2a1b1a1a1a1e-F1365 subgroup.A DYS570/17.1 sample had a core repeat sequence of[TTTC]17 T,belonging to the O2a1b1a1a1a-F11 subgroup.Three DYS570(19.2)samples had[TTTC]3 TT[TTTC]16,belonging to the D1a1a-M15 haplogroup.Conclusion The results indicated that the microvariant with the same core repeat structure at locus DYS570 was associated with haplogroups,and the ancestry origin of samples can be inferenced from microvariant characteristics during the practice of forensic medicine.

Objective To analyze the effects of miR-181a-5p overexpression on metabolites in the small intestines of mice with subcutaneous oral cancer by detecting changes in metabolites and metabolic pathways.Methods Three groups were included in study:Control group,negative control and miR-181a-5p overexpression group.To establish a subcutaneous oral cancer model in mice,variously treated cell suspensions were subcutaneously injected into the upper right of the groin in female M-NSG severely immunodeficient mice.Changes in pathology and small intestinal tissues were assessed by HE staining.Changes in mouse body weight were also assessed.Tandem orbitrap mass spectrometry and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry,were used to examine metabolites in the small intestines.By pre-analyzing the original data and quality rating sample data,XCMS was able to assess which metabolites were different among the groups.To identify unique metabolic pathways,KEGG enrichment analysis was used.Results A total of 170 distinct metabolites were found in the small intestinal tissues of Control and NC groups.Choline metabolism,alanine,aspartate,and glutamate metabolism,GABA synaptic metabolism,glycerophospholipid metabolism,cAMP signaling route,cancer center carbon metabolism,and niacin and niacin amine metabolic pathways were important signaling pathways for metabolite enrichment.In the NC group,16 distinct metabolites with VIP values larger than 2 were found in the small intestines compared with the OE group overexpressing miR-181a-5p.Glycerin phosphorylcholine,palmitic acid,3-hydroxybutyl carnitine,and β-hydroxybutyric acid were among the metabolites that significantly varied.The primary enhanced metabolic pathway was the choline pathway.Conclusions Mouse small intestines underwent slight changes from subcutaneous oral cancer with the greatest effect on metabolites critical for energy metabolism.The choline metabolic pathway was the pathway that selected absolutely metabolites in mouse small intestines with subcutaneous grafts of oral cancer.

Objective: 18F-N-(2-(Diethylamino)ethyl)-5-(2-(2-(2-fluoroethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy) picolinamide ( 18F-PFPN) is a novel positron emission tomography (PET) probe designed to specifically targets melanin. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic feasibility of 18F-PFPN in patients with ocular or orbital melanoma. Materials and Methods: Three patients with pathologically confirmed ocular or orbital melanoma (one male, two females; age 41–59 years) were retrospectively reviewed. Each patient underwent comprehensive 18F-PFPN and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18F-FDG) PET scans. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) of the lesion and the interference caused by background tissue were compared between 18F-PFPN and 18F-FDG PET imaging. In addition, the effect of intrinsic pigments in the uvea and retina on the interpretation of the results was examined. The contralateral non-tumorous eye of each patient served as a control. Results: All primary tumors (3/3) were detected using 18F-PFPN PET, while only two primary tumors were detected using 18F-FDG PET. Within each lesion, the SUV max of 18F-PFPN was 2.6 to 8.3 times higher than that of 18F-FDG. Regarding the quality of PET imaging, the physiological uptake of 18F-FDG PET in the brain and periocular tissues limited the imaging of tumors. However, 18F-PFPN PET minimized this interference. Notably, intrinsic pigments in the uvea and retina did not cause abnormal concentrations of 18F-PFPN, as no anomalous uptake of 18F-PFPN was detected in the healthy contralateral eyes. Conclusion Compared to 18F-FDG, 18F-PFPN demonstrated higher detection rates for ocular and orbital melanomas with minimal interference from surrounding tissues. This suggests that 18F-PFPN could be a promising clinical diagnostic tool for distinguishing malignant melanoma from benign pigmentation in ocular and orbital melanomas.

Since p53 was discovered in 1979, the understanding of its roles and functions has continuously changed. Initially, p53 was known as a cancer gene and tumor suppressor gene, with a 50% mutation rate in tumors. Then, p53 was found to be involved in cell cycle regulation, genomic stability, apoptosis, and cell aging. More recently, it has been discovered that p53 plays a role in inflammation and immune regulation. As the information processing center of cellular stress responses, p53 dynamics not only encode the types and intensity of stress but also regulate multiple downstream genes, determining the fate of cells and closely related to the radiosensitivity of tissues. The primary mechanism behind p53 dynamics is to initiate multiple feedback loops represented by MDM2. Specifically, p53 is not only directly involved in innate immune responses such as cGAS-TING and adaptive immune responses dominated by T and B cells but also associated with various inflammatory responses. Its mutants provide new antigens for tumor immunity. Although targeted therapy against p53 in cancer has not yet been clinically successful, the new strategies for immune regulation using p53 may provide a new chance of cancer therapy for human beings.
