BACKGROUND:Wolff's law points out that the lack of mechanical stress in the body will lead to the degradation of the microstructure of bone tissue,mass loss,and metabolic disorders,and eventually lead to osteoporosis,which suggests that mechanical stress plays an important role in the growth,reconstruction,and formation of bone tissue.At present,the relevant studies concerning mechanical stress on osteoblasts mainly focus on fluid shear force,but it is difficult to intervene in vivo.Meanwhile,some studies have found that compressive stress can also play a similar role in fluid shear force to a certain extent.Exploring the mode of action and influence of compressive stress on cells in vitro experiments can enrich the interaction relationship between mechanical stress and cells.It helps provide a theoretical basis for studies of metabolic bone diseases,including osteoporosis,and other diseases.OBJECTIVE:To review in vitro experiments,the application of compressive stress to cells,different biological behaviors caused by cells,the possible signaling pathways,and possible future applications.METHODS:We searched PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,and WanFang databases from January 2000 to March 2024 to include all articles related to compressive stress on cells,including basic research and microscopic mechanism studies,using search terms"compressive stress,mechanical stress,hydrostatic pressure,cell"in Chinese and English.Finally,the 63 included articles were reviewed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There are various ways to apply compressive stress,and different experimental equipment has different ways of pressurizing cells,so it is necessary to further standardize the experimental equipment,standardize the pressurization unit,reduce the confounding factors,and make the reference and comparability between different experimental groups.(2)Compressive stress can cause changes in cell proliferation,differentiation,autophagy,apoptosis,migration,etc.,and the effect of compressive stress is time-or dose-dependent in most cases.(3)At present,most in vitro experimental studies have shown that compressive stress may mainly act on osteoblasts through MAPK signaling pathway and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,causing osteoblasts to produce different responses.(4)The effect of compressive stress on different cells is not the same,and its possible biological effects need to be studied.(5)Further research on compressive stress is helpful to provide a theoretical basis for treatment in orthopedics,stomatology,tumors and other fields,and gentle disinfection using hydrostatic pressure is a promising disinfection method.

This study was aimed at investigating the prevalence of Dabie bandavirus(DBV)infection in suspected cases of se-vere fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome(SFTS)and tick specimens in Cangzhou City from 2023 to 2024,and providing scientific basis for the prevention,control and pathogen surveillance of SFTS in this area.Pathogen detection and virus isolation were performed on suspected SFTS cases and tick specimens collected in Cangzhou City from 2023 to 2024.The next-generation sequencing technol-ogy was used to conduct whole-genome sequencing of DBV.A phylogenetic tree was constructed using software such as MEGA,DNA Star,and homology comparison and amino acid variation site analysis were carried out.Among the 70 suspected SFTS cases,the DBV positive detection rate was 60%(42/70).The positive cases were mainly farmers aged 50-79,concentrated in Yanshan County and Haixing County.402 ticks were pooled into 31 sample tubes,among which 2 tubes tested positive for DBV nucleic acid,with a mini-mum infection rate of 0.50%.A total of 9 human-derived and 2 tick-derived DBV strains were isolated.The whole-genome sequencing results showed that all strains clustered within the F branch,with sequences homology exceeding 99%.There were a total of 10 amino acid variation sites in the RdRP,GP and NSs sequences.Therefore,the distribution of SFTS cases in Cangzhou City exhibited regional clustering.The overall level of DBV infection in ticks in this region was relatively low.It is recommended to further improve the disease early warning mechanism and continue to conduct pathogen surveillance.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of baseline dyslipidemia in HIV-infected people before starting antiviral therapy (ART) in China.Methods:The data were collected from HIV/AIDS ART database of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. A national sample of HIV- infected people who initiated ART from 2018 to 2023 was used to collect baseline information, including sociodemographic characteristics and laboratory test results. According to the Chinese Lipid Management Guidelines (2023) and the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel Ⅲ guidelines, triglyceride (TG) ≥1.7 mmol/L or total cholesterol (TC) ≥5.2 mmol/L were identified as dyslipidemia. Statistical analysis was performed with software SAS 9.4. An unconditional logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing TG and TC abnormalities in HIV-infected patients before ART.Results:A total of 359 952 adults infected with HIV were included in this study, the prevalence rate of dyslipidemia was 38.41% (138 263/359 952). The abnormal rates of TG and TC were 31.40% (113 041/359 952) and 13.75% (49 494/359 952), respectively. In all age groups except for the 25-44 age groups, the abnormal rates of TG and TC were higher in HIV-infected women than in HIV-infected men. In HIV-infected patients, women, those aged 45-64 years, those lived in northeast region, those had heterosexual transmission, and those with BMI ≥28.0 kg/m 2, CD4 +T lymphocytes counts ≥500 cells/μl had higher rates of baseline dyslipidemia (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The abnormal rate of TG in HIV-infected people before ART was higher in China from 2018 to 2023, especially in HIV-infected women, and the abnormal rate of TG and TC increased with age. Attention should be paid to the clinical diagnosis and ART selection in the treatment of HIV infection.

Background/Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a significant risk factor for gallstone formation, but mechanisms underlying MASH-related gallstone formation remain unclear. Golgi membrane protein 1 (GOLM1) participates in hepatic cholesterol metabolism and is upregulated in MASH. Here, we aimed to explore the role of GOLM1 in MASH-related gallstone formation. Methods: The UK Biobank cohort was used for etiological analysis. GOLM1 knockout (GOLM1-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice were fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). Livers were excised for histology and immunohistochemistry analysis. Gallbladders were collected to calculate incidence of cholesterol gallstones (CGSs). Biles were collected for biliary lipid analysis. HepG2 cells were used to explore underlying mechanisms. Human liver samples were used for clinical validation. Results: MASH patients had a greater risk of cholelithiasis. All HFD-fed mice developed MASH, and the incidence of gallstones was 16.7% and 75.0% in GOLM1-/- and WT mice, respectively. GOLM1-/- decreased biliary cholesterol concentration and output. In vivo and in vitro assays confirmed that GOLM1 facilitated cholesterol efflux through upregulating ATP binding cassette transporter subfamily G member 5 (ABCG5). Mechanistically, GOLM1 translocated into nucleus to promote osteopontin (OPN) transcription, thus stimulating ABCG5-mediated cholesterol efflux. Moreover, GOLM1 was upregulated by interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in a dose-dependent manner. Finally, we confirmed that IL-1β, GOLM1, OPN, and ABCG5 were enhanced in livers of MASH patients with CGSs. Conclusions In MASH livers, upregulation of GOLM1 by IL-1β increases ABCG5-mediated cholesterol efflux in an OPN-dependent manner, promoting CGS formation. GOLM1 has the potential to be a molecular hub interconnecting MASH and CGSs.
