Objective The study aims to elucidate the inhibitory effects of curcumin on the proliferation of colon cancer RKO cells,focusing on the regulatory mechanisms of tripartite motif-containing protein 2(TRIM2)expression and the mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)signaling pathway.Methods Experimental concentrations of curcumin were determined by calculating the half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)value.Quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR)was utilized to assess the level of TRIM2 expression in RKO and fetal human colon(FHC)cells.Western blotting analysis was conducted to investigate the level of TRIM2 expression and mTOR pathway-related proteins in curcumin-treated RKO cells.The impact of curcumin treatment,TRIM2-knockingdown,and mTOR signaling pathway on proliferation in RKO cells was quantified using the cell counting kit-8(CCK8)assay.Results The expression of TRIM2 was found to be elevated in RKO cells as determined by qPCR,compared to FHC cells.Curcumin suppressed the level of TRIM2 expression,and subsequent knockdown of TRIM2 resulted in decreased expression of mTOR-related proteins in RKO cells.Both curcumin and TRIM2-knockdown demonstrated significant inhibition of proliferation in RKO cells,with reversion upon activation of mTOR signaling pathway.Conclusion The study unveils the inhibitory effects of curcumin on RKO cells proliferation through modulation of TRIM2 expression and the mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) on the outcome of microscopic testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) in patients with non-mosaic Klinefelter syndrome (KS) of the clinical data and to identify effective predictors for successful micro-TESE.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted on the clinical data of 118 non-mosaic KS patients treated at the Center for Reproductive Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between May 2018 and September 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether sperm were successfully retrieved via micro-TESE: the sperm retrieved group ( n=45) and the no sperm retrieved group ( n=73). Differences between the two groups were compared, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing sperm retrieval. Changes in testicular volume and sex hormone levels before and after surgery were also assessed. Results:The sperm retrieval rate was 38.1% (45/118). Patients in the sperm retrieved group were significantly younger [(26.93±3.80) years] than those in the no sperm retrieved group [(28.27±3.92) years, P=0.029], and the AMH level was significantly higher [0.44 (0.18, 1.13) μg/L] than that in the no sperm retrieved group [0.10 (0.03, 0.22) μg/L, P<0.001]. AMH was identified as an independent predictor of micro-TESE outcome in non-mosaic KS patients ( OR=7.867, 95% CI: 2.727-27.242, P=0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.802 (95% CI: 0.722-0.883), and the optimal reference threshold for AMH was ≥0.265 μg/L. Postoperatively, testosterone levels decreased significantly by a median of 0.27 μg/L ( P=0.019), while luteinizing hormone levels increased by a median of 2.08 U/L ( P=0.049), with a more significant decline in testosterone levels observed in the no sperm retrieved group by a median of 0.29 μg/L ( P=0.022). Conclusion:AMH can predict successful micro-TESE in non-mosaic KS patients, with higher AMH levels indicating a higher likelihood of success.

Drug repurposing offers a promising alternative to traditional drug development and significantly reduces costs and timelines by identifying new therapeutic uses for existing drugs. However, the current approaches often rely on limited data sources and simplistic hypotheses, which restrict their ability to capture the multi-faceted nature of biological systems. This study introduces adaptive multi-view learning (AMVL), a novel methodology that integrates chemical-induced transcriptional profiles (CTPs), knowledge graph (KG) embeddings, and large language model (LLM) representations, to enhance drug repurposing predictions. AMVL incorporates an innovative similarity matrix expansion strategy and leverages multi-view learning (MVL), matrix factorization, and ensemble optimization techniques to integrate heterogeneous multi-source data. Comprehensive evaluations on benchmark datasets (Fdataset, Cdataset, and Ydataset) and the large-scale iDrug dataset demonstrate that AMVL outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods, achieving superior accuracy in predicting drug-disease associations across multiple metrics. Literature-based validation further confirmed the model's predictive capabilities, with seven out of the top ten predictions corroborated by post-2011 evidence. To promote transparency and reproducibility, all data and codes used in this study were open-sourced, providing resources for processing CTPs, KG, and LLM-based similarity calculations, along with the complete AMVL algorithm and benchmarking procedures. By unifying diverse data modalities, AMVL offers a robust and scalable solution for accelerating drug discovery, fostering advancements in translational medicine and integrating multi-omics data. We aim to inspire further innovations in multi-source data integration and support the development of more precise and efficient strategies for advancing drug discovery and translational medicine.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant digestive system tumor. Due to its rapid progression and difficulty in early diagnosis, patients are often diagnosed at an advanced stage or with metastases. Liver is the most common metastatic site of pancreatic cancer, and its prognosis and treatment are not optimistic. In recent years, with the progress of basic research, the research on the molecular mechanism of liver metastasis in pancreatic cancer has also made great progress. This paper briefly summarize the current progress of molecular mechanism research of liver metastasis in pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of acupuncture on postoperative delirium (POD) in diabetic patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.Methods:In this randomized controlled trial, 92 diabetic patients of either sex, aged 30-80 yr, with a body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=46 each) using a table of random numbers: control group (group C) and acupuncture group (group A). Group A received acupuncture at the Baihui (GV20), Shenting (GV24) and Sishencong (EX-HN1) acupoints before anesthesia. The needles were retained for 30 min, with manual stimulation applied every 10 min for 10 s each time. After 4 stimulations, routine anesthesia was carried out. Group C received routine anesthesia only. Regional cerebral oxygen saturation was recorded on admission to the operating room (T 0), after anesthesia induction (T 1), at the start of surgery (T 2), at the end of surgery (T 3), and immediately after tracheal extubation (T 4). The POD developed within 3 days after surgery was assessed. The occurrence of needle-related adverse effects such as fainting, subcutaneous bleeding, and local paresthesia was recorded. Results:Compared with group C, the incidence of POD was significantly reduced, and the regional cerebral oxygen saturation was increased at T 1, 4 in group A ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Acupuncture can decrease the development of POD in diabetic patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia, which is related to an increase in regional cerebral oxygen saturation.

Objective To determine the mechanism by which 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(VD3)regulates the Th17/Treg cell balance to improve sepsis-induced acute kidney injury(AKI).Methods C57BL/6 mice were assigned to a sham operation group(sham group),a sepsis group(CLP group),a VD3 group,a VD3+knockdown control group(VD3+sh-NC group),and a VD3+NLRP6 knockdown group(VD3+sh-NLRP6 group)(n=10 per group).A mouse model of sepsis-induced AKI was established by cecal ligation and puncture(CLP).Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to observe pathological damage to renal tissue.ELISA was used to detect the serum creatinine(sCr),kidney injury molecule 1(KIM-1),interleukin(IL)-17,and IL-10 levels.Flow cytometry was used to determine the Th17 cell and Treg cell numbers in peripheral blood.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of vitamin D receptor(VDR)and NLRP6 pro-teins in renal tissue.Results Administration of VD3 alleviated the pathological kidney damage in CLP mice,reduced the sCr,KIM-1,and IL-17 levels and the proportion of Th 17 cells in peripheral blood.It also increased the proportion of Treg cells and the IL-10 level,and upregulated the expression of VDR and NLRP6 proteins.Knockdown of NLRP6 reversed the effect of VD3on the Th17/Treg cell imbal-ance and its renoprotective effects in CLP mice.Conclusion VD3 exerts protective effects in sepsis-induced AKI.Its mechanism likely involves the activation of VDR,leading to subsequent upregulation of NLRP6 expression,ultimately improving the Th17/Treg cell imba-lance.
