BackgroundMany studies have shown that patients with depressive disorder show impairments in prospective memory， while it is deemed necessary for facilitating their social reintegration， and the current research findings are inconsistent regarding the factors affecting prospective memory of patients with depressive disorder. ObjectiveTo explore the impact of target characteristics （emotional valence and salience） on prospective memory in patients with depressive disorder， so as to provide references for the training and recovery of prospective memory function in these patients. MethodsFrom January to December 2022， 53 patients with depressive disorder were recruited from the outpatient department of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Mental Health Center. Meanwhile， 45 healthy individuals were concurrently recruited from surrounding communities as control group. An experiment with a 2 （participant type： depressive disorder， healthy control） ×2 （target salience： salient， non-salient） ×3 （emotional valence： positive， neutral， negative） factorial design was conducted. The positive/neutral/negative emotional pictures from Chinese Affective Picture System （CAPS） were used for emotional stimulation. A dual-task experimental paradigm was adopted， and the response time and accuracy in prospective memory task and ongoing task were recorded for participants with different target characteristics. Results①In the prospective memory task， the main effect of participant type was statistically significant， with the depressive group showing lower accuracy （F=14.892， P<0.01） and longer response time （F=10.642， P=0.002） compared with control group. ② The main effect of target emotional valence on accuracy （F=7.575， P=0.001） and response time （F=3.196， P=0.044） in the prospective memory task was statistically significant. Simple effect analysis revealed that depressive group yielded a shorter response time and higher accuracy rate under negative conditions compared with positive and neutral conditions （P<0.05 or 0.01）. ③ The main effect of target salience on accuracy （F=6.659， P=0.012） and response time （F=10.106， P=0.002） in the prospective memory task was also statistically significant， with higher accuracy and shorter response time for salient targets compared with non-salient targets. ConclusionPatients with depressive disorder demonstrate preferential attention to and processing of negative stimuli in prospective memory tasks， while increasing target salience may facilitate spontaneous processing of prospective memory task in patients with depressive disorder. ［Funded by Inner Mongolia Health Commission Medical Health Science and Technology Project （number， 202202104）］

Sacroiliac complex injuries are commonly seen in high-energy pelvic fractures. The injuries make a big difference in treatment patterns due to the diverse injury types, posing considerable challenges in formulating optimal treatment strategies, and hence are persistent clinical difficulties in orthopedic trauma. The clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries presents several key challenges such as a non-negligible rate of missed diagnoses in associated vascular and visceral injuries, absence of standardized protocols for surgical approaches and reduction-fixation strategies across different injury patterns, and ongoing controversies regarding surgical indications and optimal timing for patients combined with concomitant lumbosacral plexus injuries. Currently, no systematic clinical guidelines are available for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries both domestically and internationally. To this end, the Pelvic and Acetabular Surgery Group, Orthopedic Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care and Orthopedic Physician Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized a panel of domestic experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medicine and adhering to the principles of scientific rigor, clinical applicability, and innovation. These guidelines provided 11 recommendations covering diagnosis, therapeutic principles and techniques, management protocols for lumbosacral plexus injuries, outcome evaluation, and postoperative rehabilitation pathways, etc., aiming to standardize the clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries.

Objective To study the effect and molecular mechanism of vitamin D(VitD)on Tfh cells of MRL/lpr lupus mice.Methods C57/B6 mice and MRL/lpr lupus mice were transfected with siRNA to construct VDR knockout mouse models.Splenic Tfh cells of C57/B6 mice and MRL/lpr lupus mice were divided into control group,lupus group and VDRsiRNA lupus group(treated with vitamin D 0,1 and 10 nmol·L-1,respectively)by siRNA transfection.The percentage of Tfh cells was detected by flow cytometry.MRL/lpr lupus mice Peyer node Tfh cells were randomly divided into 7 groups,blank control group,vitamin D dose groups of 1 and 10 nmol·L-1,paricalcitol group(VitD 10 nmol·L-1+PA),VDRsiRNA control group,VDRsiRNA group(VitD 10 nmol·L-1),CaN inhibitor group(VitD 10 nmol·L-1+CsA),and incubated for 72 h.The concentration of calcium ions in Tfh of each group was detected.The expressions of AT1R,NFAT,CaN and P-CaN in Tfh cells were determined by Western blotting.Results The percentage of Tfh cells decreased significantly with the increase of vitamin D dose.Vitamin D CaN reduce the intracellular calcium concentration of Tfh,up-regulate the expression of AT1 protein in Tfh cells,and down-regulate the expression of CAN,P-CaN and NFAT protein in a dose-dependent manner,and the effect is more obvious when combined with PA.Conclusion Vitamin D may regulate the activation of follicular T helper cells in MRL/lpr mice via the Ca-CaN-NFAT pathway.

Objectives:To explore the antitumor effects of redox-responsive nanoparticles containing platinum(Ⅳ)—NP@Pt(Ⅳ) in ovarian cancer.Methods:Redox-responsive polymer carriers were synthesized. Polymer carriers and platinum(Ⅳ)—Pt(Ⅳ) can self-assemble into NP@Pt(Ⅳ). Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was performed to detect the platinum release from NP@Pt(Ⅳ) in reducing environment and the platinum content in ovarian cancer cells ES2 treated with cisplatin, Pt(Ⅳ) and NP@Pt(Ⅳ). The proliferation ability of the ovarian cancer cells were detected by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cellular apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. Collection of primary ovarian cancer tissues from patients with primary high-grade serous ovarian cancer who were surgically treated at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October to December 2022. The high-grade serous ovarian cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice were intravenously injected with Cy7.5 labeled NP@Pt(Ⅳ) followed by in vivo imaging system. Mice were treated with PBS, cisplatin and NP@Pt(Ⅳ). Tumor volume and weight were measured in each group. Necrosis, apoptosis and cell proliferation of tumor tissues were detected by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, TUNEL fluorescence staining and Ki-67 immunohistochemistry staining. Body weight and HE staining of heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney of mice in each group were measured.Results:The platinum release of NP@Pt(Ⅳ) after 48 hours in reducing environment was 76.29%, which was significantly higher than that of 26.82% in non-reducing environment ( P<0.001). The platinum content in ES2 cells after 4 hours and 7 hours of treatment with NP@Pt(Ⅳ) (308.59, 553.15 ng/million cells) were significantly higher than those of Pt(Ⅳ) (100.21, 180.31 ng/million cells) and cisplatin (43.36, 50.36 ng/million cells, P＜0.05). The half inhibitory concentrations of NP@Pt(Ⅳ) in ovarian cancer cells ES2, A2780, A2780DDP were 1.39, 1.42 and 4.62 μmol/L, respectively, which were lower than those of Pt(IV) (2.89, 7.27, and 16.74 μmol/L) and cisplatin (5.21, 11.85, and 71.98 μmol/L). The apoptosis rate of ES2 cells treated with NP@Pt(Ⅳ) was (33.91±3.80)%, which was significantly higher than that of Pt(Ⅳ) [(16.28±2.41)%] and cisplatin [(15.01±1.17)%, P＜0.05]. In high-grade serous ovarian cancer PDX model, targeted accumulation of Cy7.5 labeled NP@Pt(Ⅳ) at tumor tissue could be observed. After the treatment, the tumor volume of mice in NP@Pt(IV) group was (130±98) mm 3, which was significantly lower than those in control group [(1 349±161) mm 3, P<0.001] and cisplatin group [(715±293) mm 3, P=0.026]. The tumor weight of mice in NP@Pt(IV) group was (0.17±0.09)g, which was significantly lower than those in control group [(1.55±0.11)g, P<0.001] and cisplatin group [(0.82±0.38)g, P=0.029]. The areas of tumor necrosis and apoptosis in mice treated with NP@Pt(Ⅳ) were higher than those in mice treated with cisplatin. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that there were low expressions of Ki-67 at tumor tissues of mice treated with NP@Pt(Ⅳ) compared with cisplatin. The change in body weight of mice in NP@Pt(Ⅳ) group was not significantly different from that of the control group [(18.56±2.04)g vs.(20.87±0.79)g, P=0.063]. Moreover, the major organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney were also normal by HE staining. Conclusion:Redox-responsive NP@Pt(Ⅳ), produced in this study can enhance the accumulation of cisplatin in ovarian cancer cells and improve the efficacy of ovarian cancer chemotherapy.

Acid-base dissociation constant (pK_a) is a key physicochemical parameter in chemical science, especially in organic synthesis and drug discovery. Current methodologies for pK_a prediction still suffer from limited applicability domain and lack of chemical insight. Here we present MF-SuP-pK_a (multi-fidelity modeling with subgraph pooling for pK_a prediction), a novel pK_a prediction model that utilizes subgraph pooling, multi-fidelity learning and data augmentation. In our model, a knowledge-aware subgraph pooling strategy was designed to capture the local and global environments around the ionization sites for micro-pK_a prediction. To overcome the scarcity of accurate pK_a data, low-fidelity data (computational pK_a) was used to fit the high-fidelity data (experimental pK_a) through transfer learning. The final MF-SuP-pK_a model was constructed by pre-training on the augmented ChEMBL data set and fine-tuning on the DataWarrior data set. Extensive evaluation on the DataWarrior data set and three benchmark data sets shows that MF-SuP-pK_a achieves superior performances to the state-of-the-art pK_a prediction models while requires much less high-fidelity training data. Compared with Attentive FP, MF-SuP-pK_a achieves 23.83% and 20.12% improvement in terms of mean absolute error (MAE) on the acidic and basic sets, respectively.

Prediction of the interactions between small molecules and their targets play important roles in various applications of drug development, such as lead discovery, drug repurposing and elucidation of potential drug side effects. Therefore, a variety of machine learning-based models have been developed to predict these interactions. In this study, a model called auxiliary multi-task graph isomorphism network with uncertainty weighting (AMGU) was developed to predict the inhibitory activities of small molecules against 204 different kinases based on the multi-task Graph Isomorphism Network (MT-GIN) with the auxiliary learning and uncertainty weighting strategy. The calculation results illustrate that the AMGU model outperformed the descriptor-based models and state-of-the-art graph neural networks (GNN) models on the internal test set. Furthermore, it also exhibited much better performance on two external test sets, suggesting that the AMGU model has enhanced generalizability due to its great transfer learning capacity. Then, a naïve model-agnostic interpretable method for GNN called edges masking was devised to explain the underlying predictive mechanisms, and the consistency of the interpretability results for 5 typical epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors with their structure‒activity relationships could be observed. Finally, a free online web server called KIP was developed to predict the kinome-wide polypharmacology effects of small molecules (http://cadd.zju.edu.cn/kip).

Bariatric surgery are recognized worldwide for the treatment of morbid obesity and related comorbidities. Therapeutic guidelines have been issued from many countries. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass are used widely at present. However, both have shortcomings including insufficient weight loss, weight regain, diabetes relapse and high rate of long-term malnutrition. In recent years, operations of sleeve gastrectomy plus various gastrointestinal bypass have been performed increasingly and showed some advantages in order to overcome the shortcomings of above mentioned both procedures. Among these surgical procedures, sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition has the potential advantages of simple operation, satisfactory results and low rate of long-term complications. The authors firstly carried out this operation in China and summarized the surgical process and technical points in this article aiming at providing some references to the colleagues of bariatric and metabolic surgery.

The vagina contains at least a billion microbial cells,dominated by lactobacilli.Here we perform metagenomic shotgun sequencing on cervical and fecal samples from a cohort of 516 Chinese women of reproductive age,as well as cervical,fecal,and salivary samples from a second cohort of 632 women.Factors such as pregnancy history,delivery history,cesarean section,and breastfeeding were all more important than menstrual cycle in shaping the microbiome,and such information would be necessary before trying to interpret differences between vagino-cervical micro-biome data.Greater proportion of Bifidobacterium breve was seen with older age at sexual debut.The relative abundance of lactobacilli especially Lactobacillus crispatus was negatively associated with pregnancy history.Potential markers for lack of menstrual regularity,heavy flow,dysmenor-rhea,and contraceptives were also identified.Lactobacilli were rare during breastfeeding or post-menopause.Other features such as mood fluctuations and facial speckles could potentially be predicted from the vagino-cervical microbiome.Gut and salivary microbiomes,plasma vitamins,metals,amino acids,and hormones showed associations with the vagino-cervical microbiome.Our results offer an unprecedented glimpse into the microbiota of the female reproductive tract and call for international collaborations to better understand its long-term health impact other than in the settings of infection or pre-term birth.
