The Wnt signaling pathway includes both classical and non classical pathways,Wnt5a-Frizzled-2 pathway participates in the Wnt/Ca2+signaling pathway in the non-classical pathway,which is activated by the Wnt-related protein Wnt5a and its ligand Frizzled-2.It can regulate some key sites in cells to affect cell signal transduction,and is closely related to cell growth process.Activation of Wnt5a-Fizzled-2 pathway occurs in some tissues with abundant blood supply,such as heart and brain tissues,during ischemia-reperfusion.Activation of the Wnt5a-Frizzled-2 pathway causes these intracellular calcium overload,ultimately promoting apoptosis.This article reviews the abnormal activation of Wnt5a-Frizzled-2 signaling pathway in ischemia-reperfusion injury diseases and the induced calcium overload leading to apoptosis,in order to provide reference for the study of physiological mechanisms of ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective To explore the correlation between systemic family dynamics characteristics and adolescent depressive symptoms,and the mediating role of negative life events between them.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 124 adolescent patients diagnosed with depressive disorder according to the international classification of diseases(ICD)-10 criteria at the Psychosomatic Medicine Department of Shanghai East Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from September 2021 to February 2023.The second edition of the Scale of Systematic Family Dynamics(SSFD),Children's Depression Inventory(CDI),and Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist(ASLEC)were utilized to evaluate the family dynamics characteristics,depressive symptoms,and negative life events.Canonical correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationships between 4 dimensions of SSFD[family atmosphere(FA),individuation(IN),system logic(SL),illness concept(IC)]and 5 factors of CDI(low self-esteem,negative emotion,anhedonia,inefficiency,interpersonal problem).A mediation effect analysis using Bootstrap test was conducted to analyze the mediating role of negative life events between family dynamics and adolescent depressive symptoms.Results The scores for FA,SL,and IN in SSFD were negatively correlated with the total score of CDI(r=-0.359,-0.256,-0.291,P<0.01),and negatively correlated with the total score of ASLEC too(r=-0.318,-0.371,-0.406,P<0.01).However,a positive correlation was observed between the total scores of ASLEC and CDI(r=0.633,P<0.01).Canonical correlation analysis between the 4 dimensions of SSFD and the 5 factors of CDI revealed one pair of statistically significant canonical variables(U1,V1)with a canonical correlation coefficient of 0.483(P<0.05).This indicates that the canonical variable U1 of SSFD was primarily influenced by FA,while the canonical variable V1 of CDI was mainly affected by low self-esteem and interpersonal problems.The mediating analysis showed that the effects of FA,IN,and SL scores on CDI total score were all weak(-0.147,-0.117,-0.102,respectively)but statistically significant(P<0.05).The direct effect of IN and SL scores on CDI total score was not statistically significant(P>0.05),while the direct effect of FA score on CDI total score was statistically significant(-0.076,P<0.05).Additionally,the mediating effect of ASLEC between the scores of FA,IN,SL and CDI total score were all significant(-0.071,-0.095,-0.087,respectively)(P<0.05).Conclusions Adolescent depressive symptoms may be influenced by systemic family dynamics characteristics and negative life events.Negative life events mediate the influence of FA,IN,and SL on depressive symptoms.However,the IC is not related to depressive symptoms in adolescents.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of electroacupuncture at Baliao points in patients with erectile dysfunction after stroke. METHODS: A total of 58 patients with erectile dysfunction after stroke were randomly divided into an observation group (29 cases, 1 case dropped off, 1 case discontinued) and a control group (29 cases, 1 case dropped off). Both groups were given basic treatment, including routine medical treatment, routine acupuncture treatment, rehabilitation training and pelvic floor biofeedback electrical stimulation treatment. The observation group was treated with electroacupuncture at Baliao points, and the control group was treated with shallow acupuncture combined with electroacupuncture at the control points (8 points at 20 mm horizontally beside Baliao points), continuous wave, frequency in 50 Hz, current intensity in 1-5 mA, 5 times a week for 4 weeks. The 5-item version of the international index of erectile function (IIEF-5) score, erectile dysfunction effect on quality of life (ED-EQoL) score and pelvic floor muscle contraction amplitude were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. RESULTS: After treatment, the IIEF-5 scores and the contraction amplitude of fast muscle fiber, comprehensive muscle fiber and slow muscle fiber in the two groups were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05), the ED-EQoL scores were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and the changes of above indexes in the observation group were larger than the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Electroacupuncture at Baliao points can improve the erectile function of patients with erectile dysfunction after stroke, increase the contraction amplitude of pelvic floor muscles, and promote the quality of life of patients.

Objective: To analyze and compare therapy responses, outcomes, and incidence of severe hematologic adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . Methods: Data of patients with chronic phase CML diagnosed between January 2006 and November 2022 from 76 centers, aged ≥18 years, and received initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China were retrospectively interrogated. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the bias of the initial TKI selection, and the therapy responses and outcomes of patients receiving initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy were compared. Results: A total of 4 833 adult patients with CML receiving initial imatinib (n=4 380) or flumatinib (n=453) therapy were included in the study. In the imatinib cohort, the median follow-up time was 54 [interquartile range (IQR), 31-85] months, and the 7-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.2%, 88.4%, 78.3%, and 63.0%, respectively. The 7-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 71.8%, 93.0%, and 96.9%, respectively. With the median follow-up of 18 (IQR, 13-25) months in the flumatinib cohort, the 2-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.4%, 86.5%, 58.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. The 2-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 80.1%, 95.0%, and 99.5%, respectively. The PSM analysis indicated that patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had significantly higher cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) and higher probabilities of FFS than those receiving the initial imatinib therapy (all P<0.001), whereas the PFS (P=0.230) and OS (P=0.268) were comparable between the two cohorts. The incidence of severe hematologic adverse events (grade≥Ⅲ) was comparable in the two cohorts. Conclusion: Patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had higher cumulative incidences of therapy responses and higher probability of FFS than those receiving initial imatinib therapy, whereas the incidence of severe hematologic adverse events was comparable between the two cohorts.

OBJECTIVE: Vitamin D and Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) inhibition are involved in the protection of keratinocytes. The effects of combination of 1,25(OH) ₂D ₃ and TLR-4 inhibitor on the protection of keratinocytes against ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) irradiation remain unclear. This study was undertaken to explore the effects of combination of 1,25(OH) ₂D ₃ and TAK-242 (TLR-4 inhibitor) on the damage to HaCaT cells caused by UVB irradiation. METHODS: In vitro, HaCaT cells were treated with 1,25(OH) ₂D ₃ or/and TAK-242 prior to UVB irradiation at the intensity of 20 mJ/cm ², then the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), cell migration, apoptosis of cells, and the expression of oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and apoptosis related proteins were determined. RESULTS: Compared with the HaCaT cells treated with 1,25(OH) ₂D ₃ or TAK-242, the cells treated with both 1,25(OH) ₂D ₃ and TAK-242 showed, 1) significantly lower production of ROS ( P < 0.05); 2) significantly less apoptosis of HaCaT cells ( P < 0.05); 3) significantly lower expression of NF- κB, Caspase-8, Cyto-C, Caspase-3 ( P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The combination of 1,25(OH) ₂D ₃ and TAK-242 could produce a better protection for HaCaT cells via inhibiting the oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis than 1,25(OH) ₂D ₃ or TAK-242 alone.

Dendrobium huoshanense is a precious medicinal plant belonging to Dendrobium of Orchidaceae. It is a special medicinal material and extremely scarce in Huoshan county, Anhui province. At present, D. huoshanense has been greatly protected, which also makes it possible to industrialize relying on tissue culture and artificial cultivation technology. Three main planting methods were utilized for cultivating D. huoshanense including facility cultivation, under forest cultivation and simulative habitat cultivation. Firstly, the three cultivation modes and technical characteristics of D. huoshanense were compared and analyzed, and it was found that the ecological environment of D. huoshanense cultivated in the simulated environment was closer to that of wild D. huoshanense. Secondly, based on comparing the characters and quality of three cultivation modes, the results showed that the shape of D. huoshanense cultivated in simulated environment was more similar to that of "grasshopper thigh" recorded in Bencao Jing Jizhu, and its quality was better than that of facilities and under forest cultivation. The comprehensive benefit comparison of three modes showed that the simulated cultivation had high income, the lowest input-output ratio and significant economic benefit. The quality of cultivated D. huoshanense was further evaluated from four aspects of "excellent environment" "excellent shape" "high quality" "excellent effect", which summarized the comprehensive advantages of simulative habitat cultivation of D. huoshanense as follows: the original habitat and site environment of simulated wild D. huoshanense, the closer shape to the wild, the more content of main medicinal components, and higher economic benefit and better efficacy. The quality of D. huoshanense was improved by the use of simulative habitat cultivation, which has practical significance to guide its large-scale cultivation.

Objective To explore the protective effect of ginsenoside Rb1 on the myocardial ischemia / reperfusion (I / R) injury in rats in vitro. Methods Totally 60 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:sham group,I / R group,ginsenosde Rb1 pretreatment groups(at the doses of 1 μmol / L,5 μmol / L,10 μmol / L and 20 μmol / L,respectively), 10 in each group. The Langendorff perfusion system was used to establish I / R model. The Lab Chart electrophysiological system was used to monitor real-time heart function by monitoring heart rate (HR), left ventricular development pressure (LVDP) and left ventricular development pressure (± dp / dtmax). TTC staining method was used to measure myocardial infarct size. The Western blotting were used to assay Beclin 1, LC3, p62 and Lamp 2 expression, respectively. The immunohistochemistry were used to assay Beclin 1 expression. Results Ginsenoside Rbl of all the four different concent rations improved the decrease of LVDP and ± dp / dtmax arising from myocardial I / R injury. Meanwhile, ginsenoside Rbl significantly decreased the area of cardial infarction. Ginsenoside Rb1 (10 μmol / L) precondition group protected the heart most significantly (P<0. 05). The expression of Beclin 1 with I / R increased significantly in the cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes. Moreover, Beclin 1 expression decreased after addition pretreatment with ginsenoside Rb1 (10 μmol / L) (P < 0. 05). Compared with sham group, we found that the autophagic flux was impaired in I / R group which the expression of Beclin 1, LC3 and p62 increased significantly, as well as the expression of Lamp 2 decreased significantly. On the other hand, pretreatment with ginsenoside Rb1 (10 μmol / L) could reverse impaired autophagic flux (P < 0. 05). Conclusion Ginsenoside Rbl demonstrates pharmacological preconditioning effect and protects against myocardial I / R injury by improving damaged-autophagy flux, the dose of 10 μmol / L precondition protectes the heart most significantly.
