Background Hypertension is one of the chronic diseases with the highest prevalence in China, and a history of hypertension may potentially exacerbate hearing loss. Investigating the association between long-term blood pressure trends and hearing thresholds could contribute to hearing protection efforts for occupationally noise-exposed populations. Objective By investigating hearing thresholds and blood pressure levels among occupationally noise-exposed workers in an urban rail transit enterprise, and conducting a comprehensive analysis of the association between long-term blood pressure changes and hearing thresholds, to provide data references for health management strategies targeting occupationally noise-exposed workers. Methods Workers exposed to occupational noise at a rail transit enterprise were enrolled as study subjects and underwent pure-tone audiometry. Group-based trajectory modeling was employed to identify blood pressure trajectories. Categorical data were compared using chi-square tests, while normally distributed continuous variables were analyzed via t-tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) were subsequently applied toexamine associations between these trajectory groups and high-frequency hearing thresholds. Results Among 2 002 occupationally noise-exposed workers, the median (P25, P75) age was 32 (28, 35) years, with a median (P25, P75) working tenure of 7 (3, 10) years. In 2019, the positive hypertension rate was 9.04%, with a mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) of (122.97±11.60) mmHg and a mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of (76.37±9.02) mmHg. The hearing loss prevalence was 10.1%, showing bilateral high-frequency average hearing thresholds of (17.18±8.71) dB and speech-frequency average thresholds of (13.79±3.46) dB. Three distinct trajectory groups were identified for both SBP and DBP. Compared with other trajectory groups, the high-stable DBP group exhibited significantly higher hearing loss prevalence (χ2=6.34, P=0.042) and elevated high-frequency hearing thresholds (all Ps<0.05). Specifically, within the 30-39 age subgroup, the moderate-stable DBP group demonstrated 1.96 dB lower high-frequency thresholds than the high-stable group [β(95%CI): −1.96 (−3.61, −0.32), P=0.020]. Conclusion Among occupationally noise-exposed workers in a municipal rail transit enterprise, DBP trajectories demonstrated a positive association with high-frequency hearing thresholds. Notably, in young and middle-aged occupationally noise-exposed populations, DBP may exert a more critical influence than SBP on the progression of hearing loss.

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is an early and significant cardiac structural charac-teristic that contributes to the onset and progression of heart failure(HF).Its mainly structural feature is the abnormally enlarged cardiomyocyte.Effective intervention targets for abnormally en-larged cardiomyocyte remain to be identified.Previous studies have shown that the cellular shape and size can be regulated by the actin related protein 2/3(Arp2/3)complex,which is an actin-binding protein complex involved in the actin nucleation and assembly.However,the roles of the Arp2/3 complex in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy remain unknown.Here our study identifies its no-vel roles in the occurrence and development of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.We found that mRNA levels of all subunits from the Arp2/3 complex are significantly upregulated(P<0.05)in the an-giotensin II(Ang Ⅱ)-induced neonatal rat primary and H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.Fur-ther studies showed that siRNA-directed ARPC2 silencing inhibits the reactivation of fetal genes and enlargement of cardiomyocyte area induced by Ang Ⅱ in neonatal rat primary cardiomyocytes(NRCMs)and H9c2 cells(P<0.05).In addition,the upstream activators of the Arp2/3 com-plex including SH3 protein interacting with Nck,90 kD(SPIN90)and Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1(Rac1)/WASp family Verprolin-homologous protein-2(WAVE-2)are upregu-lated(P<0.05)in Ang Ⅱ-induced neonatal rat primary and H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,indicating the excessive activation of the Arp2/3 complex.We further show that CK666,a specif-ic Arp2/3 complex inhibitor,prevents the reactivation of fetal genes and the enlargement of car-diomyocyte area induced by Ang Ⅱ in NRCMs and H9c2 cells(P<0.05).Our results reveal that the Arp2/3 complex plays a crucial role in Ang Ⅱ-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,which is beneficial to further studies about the molecular mechanisms by which the Arp2/3 complex regu-lates pathological cardiac hypertrophy.

The intestinal mucosal barrier is closely associated with the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).It plays an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of the internal environment and resisting pathogenic invasion by regulating the metabolic homeostasis,immune response,and microbial-host interactions in the human body.According to recent studies,intestinal mucosal barrier dysregulation may constitute a key link in the pathogenesis of T2DM.Herein,we systematically reviewed the mechanisms by which intestinal mucosal barrier damage contributes to the onset of T2DM and the latest advances in modern medical intervention strategies.We also discussed and summarized the latest research findings on using traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)to regulate the intestinal mucosal barrier in the management of T2DM.Currently,the causal relationship and mechanisms linking intestinal mucosal barrier damage to the onset of T2DM remain unclear,and systematic research on the synergistic regulatory mechanisms of approaches integrating TCM and Western medicine is lacking.The approach to manage T2DM through the integration of TCM and Western medicine can provide insights and basis from multiple aspects,such as TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment,balancing drug properties,and multi-targeted therapy.In the future,we should fully leverage the advantages of integrated TCM and Western medicine in treating T2DM and conduct in-depth research focused on the intestinal mucosal barrier,thereby informing evidence-based clinical applications.

There is limited evidence to support the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in solid organ transplants (SOTs). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of GLP-1RAs in this population. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were a thorough literature search until July 2024 for SOTs with pre- and posttransplant diabetes mellitus (DM). Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), weight, and body mass index (BMI) were the primary outcomes. We estimated odds ratios and standardized mean difference (SMD) or mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for dichotomous and continuous outcomes, respectively. I2 statistics measured heterogeneity. GLP-1RAs were administered to 806 subjects (99.8%) in 16 trials. Median follow-up was 12 months (interquartile range, 1–49 months). The mean age was 57.05 ± 10.24 years, with 64.6% male patients. HbA1c levels (MD, –0.61% [95% CI, –0.82 to –0.40]; p < 0.01, I2 = 72%), weight, and BMI were statistically significantly reduced. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; SMD, –0.38 mL/min/1.73 m2 [95% CI, –1.01 to 0.25]; p = 0.24, I2 = 0%), creatinine, and blood pressure did not change significantly. Additionally, total daily insulin dosage, lipid profile, fasting plasma glucose, and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio and tacrolimus levels (MD, –0.40 ng/mL [95% CI, –0.85 to 0.05]; p = 0.08, I2 = 42%) did not yield statistically significant. GLP-1RAs caused increased nausea and vomiting (13.9%), urinary tract infections (21.1%), and drug discontinuation (13.4%). In SOT recipients, GLP-1RAs significantly reduced HbA1c, weight, and BMI without significantly altering tacrolimus trough levels, eGFR, creatinine, or cardiovascular outcomes. Gastrointestinal side effects were the most common adverse events.

Objective This study utilized bioinformatics to investigate the role of secreted phosphoprotein 1(SPP1)in tumors and assess its differential expression and prognostic significance across human cancers.Method Cancer sample data was sourced from the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and Genotype-tissue Expression(GTEx)database.Analysis of gene expression differences in pan-cancer involving SPP1 utilized the CPTAC database,correlations between SPP1 and patient survival outcomes were assessed using GEPIA2,and alterations in gene mutations for SPP1 across 32 cancers were appraised via the CbioPortal tool.Results Across 32 tumor types,SPP1 mRNA disparity is observed in eight cancer types,decreasing only in clear cell renal carcinoma while increasing in other malignancies.Expression in tumor stage is specific;SPP1 mRNA negatively correlates with patient overall survival(OS)and disease-free survival(DFS);low methylation associated with SPP1 gene activity promotes oncogene activation,impacting tumor cell generation,apoptosis,and proliferation,thereby influencing cancer progression;SPP1 primarily exhibits missense mutations that correlate with poor prognoses in prostate and stomach cancer patients.Conclusion Through pan-cancer studies,SPP1's selective expression in human malignancies was validated and found to be strongly correlated with clinical prognosis.This suggests that SPP1 is a viable target for cancer prognostic precision.
