ObjectiveTo identify the possible health impact of the 14th five⁃year plan for the development of employment and social security in Deqing County and propose improvement measures through health impact assessment. MethodsBased on the data of Deqing County， stakeholder interviews and Delphi Consultation Method， this study described the current status of employment and social security and analyzed the potential health impacts of implementing the 14th five⁃year plan for the development of employment and social security in Deqing County. ResultsThrough a quick assessment process， the results showed that the implementation of the plan would bring mixed health impacts. Positive impacts included enhanced social security capacity， improved health levels of low-income populations and families， increased convenience of medical treatment， and improved efficiency of health services. Negative impacts included reduced accessibility of digital services for the elderly， increased gap in benefits for retirees， increased risk of discrimination against disabled individuals， increased risks of layoffs and unemployment for vulnerable groups， and increased employment instability for middle-aged and elderly populations. ConclusionThe 14th five⁃year plan for the development of employment and social security in Deqing County will bring a series of positive health impacts， but negative health impacts also warrant attention.

The challenging clinical outcomes associated with advanced cervical cancer underscore the need for a novel therapeutic approach. Monensin, a polyether antibiotic, has recently emerged as a promising candidate with anti-cancer properties. In line with these ongoing efforts, our study presents compelling evidence of monensin's potent efficacy in cervical cancer. Monensin exerts a pronounced inhibitory impact on proliferation and anchorage-independent growth. Additionally, monensin significantly inhibited cervical cancer growth in vivo without causing any discernible toxicity in mice. Mechanism studies show that monensin's anti-cervical cancer activity can be attributed to its capacity to inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, rather than inducing oxidative stress. Monensin effectively reduces both the levels and activity of β-catenin, and we identify Akt, rather than CK1, as the key player involved in monensin-mediated Wnt/β-catenin inhibition. Rescue studies using Wnt activator and β-catenin-overexpressing cells confirmed that β-catenin inhibition is the mechanism of monensin’s action. As expected, cervical cancer cells exhibiting heightened Wnt/β-catenin activity display increased sensitivity to monensin treatment. In conclusion, our findings provide pre-clinical evidence that supports further exploration of monensin's potential for repurposing in cervical cancer therapy, particularly for patients exhibiting aberrant Wnt/β-catenin activation.

Objective To identify the relationship between nephritis activity, autophagy and inflammation in patients with SLE. Methods Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and P62 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of SLE patients with lupus nephritis and non-lupus nephritis patients. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interferon γ (IFN-γ) in the serum of SLE patients were determined by ELISA. The correlation between LC3II/LC3I ratio and SLE disease activity score (SLEDAI), urinary protein, TNF-α and IFN-γ levels was analyzed by Pearson method. Results The expression of LC3 was increased and P62 was decreased in SLE patients. TNF-α and IFN-γ were increased in the serum of SLE patients. LC3II/LC3I ratio was positively correlated with SLEDAI (r=0.4560), 24 hour urine protein (r=0.3753), IFN-γ (r=0.5685), but had no correlation with TNF-α (r=0.04 683). Conclusion Autophagy is found in PBMCs of SLE, and the autophagy is correlated with renal damage and inflammation in patients with lupus nephritis.

Salt stress may cause primary osmotic stress and ion toxicity, as well as secondary oxidative stress and nutritional stress in plants, which hampers the agricultural production. Salt stress-responsive transcription factors can mitigate the damage of salt stress to plants through regulating the expression of downstream target genes. Based on the soil salinization and its damage to plants, and the central regulatory role of transcription factors in the plant salt stress-responsive signal transduction network, this review summarized the salt stress-responsive signal transduction pathways that the transcription factors are involved, and the application of salt stress-responsive transcription factors to enhance the salt tolerance of plants. We also reviewed the transcription factors-regulated complex downstream gene network which is formed by forming homo- or heterodimers between transcription factors and by forming complexes with regulatory proteins. This paper provides a theoretical basis for understanding the role of salt stress-responsive transcription factors in the salt stress regulatory network, which may facilitate the molecular breeding for improved stress resistance.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of death, tendency and the prediction of Shenzhen residents with adult hematological malignancies from 2017 to 2020.Methods:The surveillance data of hematological malignancies from 2017 to 2020 and the demographic data in Shenzhen were collected from Shenzhen death cause monitoring system and Shenzhen Center for Disease Control and Prevention, respectively. The data of the 7th national demographic data in 2020 were set as the standardized population data. Crude mortality rate (CMR), standardized mortality rate (SMR) and annual percentage change (APC) of mortality were calculated by using Joinpoint software. The grey model GM(1,1) was built to predict the mortality of adult hematological malignancies in Shenzhen between 2021 and 2025.Results:From 2017 to 2022, the male CMR of hematological malignancies was 1.15/100 000 to 1.85/100 000, and the SMR was 2.24/100 000 to 2.44/100 000; the female CMR of hematological malignancies was 0.81/100 000 to 1.75/100 000, and the SMR was 1.67/100 000 to 1.90/100 000. There were no statistically significant differences in the annual CMR and SMR between male and female hematological malignancies (all P > 0.05), and the annual change trend of CMR and SMR was not significant. The APC of male and female CMR was 27.28% and 12.70%, respectively (χ 2 = 0.01, P = 0.939); the APC of male and female SMR was 1.12% and 4.77%, respectively (χ 2 = 0.91, P = 0.318). The death causes of hematological malignancies were successively acute myeloid leukemia (AML), lymphoma, multiple myeloma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) plus chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL) plus chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The CMR of patients with hematological malignancies aged 18-40 years was low, the CMR began to rise in patients above 40 years, especially the rapid increase at the age of 60 years, reaching the peak at the age of 80 years or above. The shortest median time of all kinds of hematological malignancies from the onset of disease to the death was found in AML group (8 months, range 0.1-168 months), the longest time was in CLL+CML group (24 months, range 0.1-300 months). Infection was the most direct cause of death, followed by single organ failure. GM(1,1) model had the better predictive effects and the total SMR would increase from 2021 to 2025 (4.52/100 000, 4.76/100 000, 5.01/100 000, 5.28/100 000 and 5.57/100 000, respectively). Conclusions:The incidence of hematological malignancies in Shenzhen residents over 40 years old is on the increase. The trend of adult hematological malignancies in Shenzhen will rise predicted by GM (1,1) grey model.

ObjectiveTo investigate the use of antidepressants in hospitalized patients with depression disorder from 2015 to 2019， and to analyze the changes of these antidepressants and medication regimens， so as to provide references for clinical drug use. MethodsUsing the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei big data platform， the data of patients with depression in Beijing Anding Hospital， Capital Medical University from 2015 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The changes of different types of drugs and medication regimens were described. ResultsFrom 2015 to 2019， a total of 6 043 cases of eligible patients were enrolled in analysis. Among selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors （SSRIs）， the prescription proportion of sertraline， citalopram and fluoxetine showed a trend of decline （P<0.05 or 0.01）， while the prescription proportion of escitalopram showed a trend of fluctuations （P=0.031）. In serotonin noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors （SNRIs）， the prescription proportion of duloxetine and milnacipran were rising （P<0.01）. The newer antidepressants agomelatine （P=0.001） and voltioxetine （P<0.01） also showed an upward trend. In terms of medication regimen， the proportion of single antidepressants and combined use of two antidepressants showed a downward trend （P<0.01）， while the proportion of antidepressants combined with mood stabilizers， antidepressants combined with mood stabilizers or antipsychotics showed an upward trend （P<0.05 or 0.01）. ConclusionIn the 5 years， the proportion of SSRIs decreased， and the proportion of SNRIs and newer antidepressants increased in hospitalized patients with depression. The proportion of antidepressants combined with mood stabilizers and antipsychotics in treatment regimens showed an increasing trend.

Chronic liver diseases can further develop to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Currently, there is no effective treatment except liver orthotopic transplantation at this point. The extreme shortage of liver organ source forced people to find alternative treatment strategies. Mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs) have the abilities of immunomodulatory, hepatocyte differentiation, promotion of liver cells regeneration in situ and inhibiting the activation of hepatic stellate cells. Therefore, MSCs transplantation provides a very broad prospect for cell therapy. It is important to provide preclinical evaluation of the efficacy and safety before the application of cell therapy in clinical trials. The progress of various animal models of human liver diseasees and significance of using MSCs to treat liver diseases in preclincal studies based on these animal models were reviewed in this paper.

Objective:To investigate the expression and significance ofβ1 integrin, Rac1, and RhoA in invasive micropapillary breast carcinoma (IMPC). Methods:Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the expression ofβ1 integrin, Rac1, and RhoA in 89 patients with IMPC and 90 patients with invasive ductal carcinoma-not otherwise specified (IDC-NOS) who were treated between January 2007 and December 2008 in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital. The relationship among the three proteins and the expression ofβ1 integrin, Rac1, and RhoA with clinicopathological features were determined. Results:β1 integrin (78.7%) and Rac1 (76.4%) were highly expressed in patients with IMPC. This expression was significantly higher than that in patients with IDC-NOS (63.3%and 54.4%). Statistical difference was found between the two groups (P<0.05). Positive rate of RhoA (68.5%) in patients with IMPC was also statistically higher than that in patients with IDC-NOS (44.4%, P=0.001). In patients with IMPC, the expression ofβ1 integrin and Rac1 was positively associated with lymph node metastasis (P<0.05), while the expression ofβ1 integrin was positively correlated with Rac1 expression (P=0.006). Expression of RhoA was positively correlated with lymph node involvement and ER and PR status (P<0.05). However, no correlation was found between RhoA expression and the expression ofβ1 integrin and Rac1 (P>0.05). Conclusion:Thus,β1 integrin, Rac1, and RhoA were overexpressed and might play an important role in the high frequency of metastasis in patients with IMPC. These proteins could be considered as biomarkers for the prognosis and new targets for IMPC therapy.
