OBJECTIVE: To compare the biomechanical properties of four internal fixation methods in a lower cervical spine injury model using the finite element method. METHODS: Cervical CT data of a 28-year-old healthy adult male were utilized to establish a finite element model of the normal cervical spine and a lower cervical spine three-column injury model. Four internal fixation methods were then applied to the three-column injury model, resulting in four groups:Group A, anterior cervical locked-plate(ACLP) fixation system model(anterior approach);Group B, posterior cervical pedicle screw fixation model (posterior approach);Group C, combined anterior and posterior cervical pedicle screw fixation model; Group D, Novel composite anterior cervical internal fixation model. A 75 N axial compressive load and a 1.0 N·m pure moment were applied to the upper surface of the cervical spine model to simulate flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending movements. The intervertebral range of motion(ROM) and stress distribution of the internal fixators under different motion conditions were compared across all models. RESULTS: Compared with the normal model, the reductions in overall intervertebral ROM for each group under flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending were as follows:Group A, 24.04°, 23.12°, 6.24°, and 9.06°;Group B, 24.42°, 24.34°, 6.48°, and 9.20°;Group C, 25.43°, 25.29°, 7.17°, and 9.57°;Group D, 24.75°, 25.5°, 6.71°, and 9.12°. The peak stress values of the internal fixators in each group were:Group A, 53.9 MPa, 79.9 MPa, 61.4 MPa, and 80.3 MPa;Group B, 218.3 MPa, 105.4 MPa, 206.6 MPa, and 186.8 MPa;Group C, 40.8 MPa, 97.2 MPa, 47.1 MPa, and 39.4 MPa;Group D, 93.0 MPa, 144.0 MPa, 64.8 MPa, and 106.3 MPa. CONCLUSION The biomechanical properties of the novel composite anterior cervical internal fixation method are similar to those of the combined anterior-posterior fixation method, and superior to both the anterior cervical ACLP plate-screw fixation and posterior cervical pedicle screw fixation methods.

This study identified six novel azaphilones, isochromophilones G-L (1-6), and three novel biosynthetically related congeners (7-9) from Diaporthe sp. SCSIO 41011. The structures and absolute configurations were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses combined with experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Significantly, three highly oxygenated azaphilones contain an acetyl group at the terminal chain (4) or linear conjugated polyenoid moieties (5 and 6), which occur infrequently in the azaphilone family. Additionally, several compounds demonstrated inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) activation in RAW 264.7 macrophages at 20 μmol·L^-1. The novel compound (1) effectively inhibited receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation without exhibiting cytotoxicity in bone marrow and RAW 264.7 macrophages, indicating its potential as a promising lead compound for osteolytic disease treatment. This research presents the first documented evidence of azaphilone derivatives as inhibitors of RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.

Sesquiterpenes are natural terpenes containing 15 carbon atoms. They are widely used in the perfume, pharmaceutical, and biofuel industries due to their remarkable biological activities. The traditional production of sesquiterpenes relies on chemical synthesis or plant extraction, which has the disadvantages of low yields and waste of resources. The construction of microbial cell factories for the efficient synthesis of sesquiterpenes by means of synthetic biology provides a new option. In recent years, with the development of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, the heterologous synthesis of a variety of sesquiterpenes has been successfully achieved by metabolic engineering of the oleaginous yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica. In this paper, we review the research progress in the heterologous synthesis of different sesquiterpenes by Y. lipolytica, discuss the synthetic biology strategies commonly used in this field, and make an outlook on the research directions and engineering approaches to further enhance the sesquiterpene yield in this host. This paper provides a reference for strategies such as synergistic optimization of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, enhanced precursors, and opens up new directions for the application of synthetic biology in green chemistry and sustainable production.

Objective:To investigate the comorbidity status of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia (the"three diseases") among residents aged≥40 in Liaoning Province, and to explore the correlation between the comorbidity and cardiovascular disease mortality.Methods:This investigation was a prospective cohort study. From February 2017 to March 2019, a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to carry out a baseline survey of 18 758 permanent residents aged≥40 years in Liaoning Province. Demographic information and history of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia were collected and followed up every year. Death was mainly identified by linkage to the Population Death Information Registration Management System. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the association between the comorbidity of the "three diseases" and cardiovascular disease mortality risk.Results:A total of 18 758 residents aged≥40 in Liaoning Province were included, with an age of (60.3±9.9) years and 7 325 males (39.1%). The comorbidity rate of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia was 6.7% (1 256/18 758), and the standardized prevalence rate was 5.4%. The comorbidity rate increased with age (P<0.001), which was higher in women than in men, and more significant in urban areas than in rural areas (all P<0.001). The comorbidity of "three diseases" accounted for 39.3% (1 256/3 198), 18.7% (1 256/6 710), and 11.8% (1 256/10 653) in patients with diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, respectively. With a follow-up of (4.3±0.6) years, 463 people died of cardiovascular disease. The mortality rate of cardiovascular disease in the comorbidity of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia was 8.74/1 000 person-years. After adjusting potential confounders, Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis showed that compared with normal individuals, the hazard ratio of cardiovascular disease mortality in patients with the "three diseases" was 2.55 (95% CI: 1.63-3.99). Conclusion:The prevalence of comorbidity of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia among residents aged≥40 in Liaoning Province was relatively high, and the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality in patients with the "three diseases" was increased.

Objective:To explore effects and mechanisms of medium and low doses X-ray irradiation on polarization type changes of tumor associated macrophages(TAMs).Methods:Mouse RAW264.7 macrophage line was cultured with supernatant of 4T1 tumor cell culture(4T1-TCS)of mouse breast cancer,and induced to M2 TAMs.On this basis,medium and low doses X-ray irra-diation was conducted,and NO was detected by Griess method,CD86 and CD206 were detected by flow cytometry.ELISA was use to detect cytokines IL-10 and IL-12p70,immunofluorescence was use to detect iNOS and Arg-1.Western blot was used to detect polariza-tion related pathway proteins,and whether medium and low doses of radiation could alter polarization type of TAMs was observed.Results:4T1-TCS induced TAM had decreasing NO secretion and increasing CD206 and Arg-1 expressions,iNOS expression was decreased;with low doses irradiation(0.075 Gy,0.5 Gy,1 Gy)of TCS-TAM,compared with non irradiation group,NO secretion,expressions of CD86,CD206,Arg-1 and iNOS showed no significant changes;medium doses(2 Gy,4 Gy,6 Gy)of irradiation on TCS-TAM resulted in increased secretion of NO,and flow cytometry results showed increased expressions of CD86,decreased CD206 expression;immunofluorescence results showed an increase in iNOS expression and a decrease in Arg-1 expression in cells;ELISA results showed an increase in secretion of IL-12p70 by cells and a decrease in secretion of IL-10.Western blot results showed that NOX2,ATMS1981*,IRF5 proteins expressions were increased.Conclusion:4T1-TCS can successfully induce macrophage RAW264.7 polarize into M2 phenotype,while low dose irradiation has no significant effect on polarization phenotype of TCS-TAM.Medium dose irradiation can induce TCS-TAM polarization into M1 phenotype that inhibits tumor growth,and reversal mechanism of polarization may be related to IRF5 pathway.

Objective:To compare the motivated forgetting ability between adolescents with depression and normal adolescents and to explore the relationship of this ability with childhood trauma and symptoms of depression.Methods:Totally 141 adolescents diagnosed with depression according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition(DSM-5),and 42 normal controls participated in the study.The directed forgetting(DF)task was employed,using emotional images as memory stimuli,to compare the recognition per-formance between the two groups.The presence of the DF effect was identified when the recognition score under the"to-be-remembered"condition was significantly higher than the"to-be-forgotten"condition.The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form(CTQ-SF)and Beck Depression Inventory-Ⅱ(BDI-Ⅱ)were utilized to assess the severi-ty of participants'childhood trauma and depression symptoms.Results:Unlike the control group,the adolescents with depression only exhibited the DF effect with positive stimuli(P＜0.001).In the depression group,the DF effect value for negative stimuli partially mediated the relationship between CTQ-SF scores and BDI-Ⅱ scores(effect size=0.10,95％confidence interval 0.05-0.17,accounting for 21.3％of the total effect).Conclusion:The motivated forgetting ability is partially impaired in adolescents with depression.The ability,especially regarding negative memories,plays a partial mediating role between childhood trauma and depressive symptoms in adolescents with depression.
