Objective:To prepare decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)-gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) composite hydrogels and to study their effects on hepatocyte proliferation.Methods:Hepatic dECM was prepared by elution, and GelMA hydrogel and 10%, 30% and 50% dECM-GelMA composite hydrogels were prepared by pepsin solubilization. The morphology of normal liver and dECM liver was observed by eyes and scanning electron microscopy using hematoxylin-eosin, Sirius red and periodate-Schiff staining, respectively. The internal structure of the dECM-GelMA composite hydrogels was observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the pore diameter was measured. Liver HL-7702 cells were co-cultured with GelMA hydrogel and 10%, 30% and 50% dECM-GelMA composite hydrogels, and the cell proliferation viability was determined by cell counting kit-8. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Wnt family protein 5a (Wnt5a), β-catenin, extracellular-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2) were detected by Western blotting. Comparisons were made using independent sample t-test or one-factor analysis of variance. Results:After decellularization, the hepatocyte morphology showed rounded depressions, and the extracellular matrix structure was intact. The GelMA hydrogel and 10%, 30% and 50% dECM-GelMA composite hydrogels showed inernally porous structures. The pore diameter increased from (3.06±1.35) μm in the GelMA hydrogel to (16.01±4.02) μm in the 50% dECM-GelMA composite hydrogel. On the 3rd, 5th and 7th day, the relative cell proliferation was higher in the 50% dECM-GelMA composite hydrogel group than that in the GelMA hydrogel group (1.89±0.04 vs 1.53±0.01, 9.36±0.04 vs 3.89±0.09, 7.15±0.27 vs 4.89±0.15, all P<0.05). The relative expression levels of PCNA, Wnt5a, β-catenin, and p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2 proteins in the 50% dECM-GelMA composite hydrogel group were higher than those in the GelMA hydrogel group (2.14±0.04 vs 1.00±0.03, 2.36±0.09 vs 1.00±0.08, 1.45±0.03 vs 1.00±0.04, 1.43±0.04 vs 1.00±0.01, all P<0.05). Conclusions:A dECM-GelMA composite hydrogel can be prepared, which may promote hepatocyte proliferation by upregulating the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the research status and hotspots of umbilical acupuncture over the past 20 years using bibliometric methods,thus to providing references for the subsequent clinical treatment of umbilical acupuncture and studies of the therapeutic mechanism.Methods Literature on umbilical acupuncture published between 2004 and 2024 was retrieved from the CNKI,Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform,and VIP Chinese Journal Service Platform.Duplicate check was conducted using NoteExpress 3.9.0 software,and then manual screening was performed.The included literature data were imported into VOSviewer for visualized analysis,including institutional collaboration,author collaboration,and keyword co-occurrence.Results A total of 388 articles were included,comprising 286 original research articles,23 reviews,and 79 dissertations.Annual publication analysis revealed a significant upward trend in umbilical acupuncture research output starting from 2017.Zhejiang Chinese Medical University and Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine ranked first in publication volume,and Bao Yehua was the most prolific author.Inter-institutional collaboration remained limited,and author collaborations usually occurred in small-team models.Clinical research was the most commonly-seen keyword,and insomnia and stroke were the diseases being frequently studied.Conclusion Clinical research has become the focus of umbilical acupuncture studies over the past two decades,while mechanism research is still in its early stages.Current research hotspots include the research about insomnia and stroke.

Objective To establish a classification tree model for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)among aircrews,screen for influencing factors of NAFLD,so as to provide scientific basis for prevention and intervention decisions for NAFLD.Methods Aircrews who underwent recuperation at a sanatorium from January 2019 to December 2023 were selected as the research objects.Their annual physical examination data were collected and the NAFLD detection rate was calculated.Age,body mass index(BMI),blood pressure,waist circumference,blood routine,biochemistry indexes,and thyroid function were incorporated,and a NAFLD risk model was constructed using classification regression tree method.The predictive performance of the NAFLD classification tree model was evaluated through model misclassification matrix,risk statistics,and receiver operating characteristic curve.Results A total of 4088 aircrews were included in the study,and NAFLD was detected in 380 persons(380/4088,9.30%).The NAFLD model consisted of three layers,and five explanatory variables affecting the onset of NAFLD were extracted,including BMI,triglycerides(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),and total bilirubin(TBIL).BMI was located at the top of the classification tree and was the most important risk factor for NAFLD in aircrews.The area under the curve(AUC)of the model was 0.853.The predictive accuracy of NAFLD was 90.9%,indicating that the model has good accuracy and fitting effect.Conclusion In this study,the detection rate of NAFLD in aircrews was 9.30%.BMI,TG,HDL-C,ALT,and TBIL are risk factors for the onset of NAFLD.NAFLD is mainly related to weight gain and lipid metabolism disorders caused by unhealthy lifestyles.

Objective To investigate the effect of MACC1 on RSL3-induced ferroptosis in colorectal cancer cells and explore its molecular mechanism.Methods MACC1 expression was detected in SW620,HCT116,LOVO and RKO cells using Western blotting.The effects of different concentrations of RSL3(an inducer of ferroptosis)or Fer-1(an inhibitor of ferroptosis)alone,or 10 μmol/L RLS3 combined with 10 μmol/L Fer-1,on viability of SW620 cells were examined using MTT assay.The survival of SW620 cells with mRNA interference of MACC1 was analyzed following treatment with RSL3,and RT-qPCR and Western blotting were performed to detect the changes in MACC1 expressions after RSL3 treatment at different concentrations and the changes in GPX4 expression after MACC1 knockdown.Flow cytometry and laser confocal microscopy were used to analyze the changes in ROS-induced lipid peroxidation in SW620 cells after MACC1 knockdown.Results SW620 cells had the highest MACC1 expression among the 4 colorectal cancer cell lines.Treatment with RSL3 significantly inhibited the viability of SW620 cells in a dose-dependent manner,while Fer-1 did not significantly affect the survival of SW620 cells.RSL3 alone reduced SW620 cell survival by 50%(P<0.01),and the combined treatment with RSL3 and Fer-1 caused no significant changes in cell survival(P>0.05).Treatment with RSL3 concentration-dependently suppressed MACC1 expressions at both the mRNA and protein levels in SW620 cells(P<0.01).MACC1 knockdown obviously enhanced the cytotoxic effect of RSL3,inhibited the expression of GPX4,and increased ROS-induced lipid peroxidation in SW620 cells(P<0.05).Conclusion MACC1 knockdown enhances RSL3-induced ferroptosis in cultured colorectal cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of GPX4.

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcome of endovascular treatment vs. drug treatment in patients with symptomatic non-acute long-segment occlusion of the internal carotid artery. Methods:Based on prospective cohort registration research data, patients with symptomatic non-acute long-segment occlusion of internal carotid artery were retrospectively included. They were divided into a drug treatment group and an endovascular treatment group according to the actual treatment received. The latter was further divided into a successful recanalization group and an unsuccessful recanalization group. The endpoint events included ipsilateral ischemic stroke, any stroke, and all-cause death. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to compare the endpoint events between groups during the perioprocedural period (within 30 days), and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was use to compare the endpoint events between the groups during the long-term follow-up. Results:A total of 684 patients were included, of which 570 (83.33%) were male, median aged 63 years (interquartile range, 56-70 years). Three hundred and fifty-three patients (51.6%) received drug treatment; 331 (48.4%) received endovascular treatment, of which 161 (48.6%) had successful recanalization. The median follow-up time was 1 223 days (interquartile range, 646.5-2 082 days), with 109 patients (15.9%) experiencing stroke recurrence events (including 87 ipsilateral ischemic stroke) and 78 (11.4%) experiencing all-cause mortality. The risk of any stroke during the perioprocedural period in the successful recanalization group was significantly higher than that in the drug treatment group (odds ratio 3.679, 95% confidence interval 1.038-13.036; P=0.044), but the risk of ipsilateral ischemic stroke recurrence (risk ratio 0.347, 95% confidence interval 0.152-0.791; P=0.012) and all-cause mortality (risk ratio 0.239, 95% confidence interval 0.093-0.618; P=0.003) during the long-term follow-up were significantly lower than those in the drug treatment group. Conclusions:In patients with symptomatic non-acute long-segment occlusion of the internal carotid artery, endovascular treatment can increase the risk of stroke recurrence within 30 days, but successful recanalization can reduce the risks of long-term ipsilateral ischemic stroke recurrence and all-cause mortality.

AIM:To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying ferroptosis induced by celastrol(Cel)in huamn pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1.METHODS:The viability of PANC-1 cells was analyzed by MTT assay,and the effects of Cel on cell proliferation were analyzed using EdU and colony formation assays.Flow cytometry and fluores-cence microscopy were used to assess and observe changes in lipid reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels,respectively,while the levels of malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH)and Fe2+were measured using specific kits.The protein expression of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)was evaluated by Western blot,and GPX4 ubiquitination was measured by immunoprecipitation.RESULTS:It was found that the viability,proliferation and colony formation in PANC-1 cells de-creased gradually as the concentration of Cel increased.Addition of Cel alone to the cells reduced both cell rounding and viability,while treatment with ferrostatin-1(Fer-1)alone or in combination with Cel had no effect on either cell morpholo-gy or viability.Fluorescence staining of lipid ROS with BODIPYTM 581/591 C11 followed by flow cytometry analysis showed significantly increased levels of green fluorescence indicative of oxidized lipid ROS,which were further increased after treatment of the cells with Cel.Treatment of the cells with both Cel and Fer-1 reduced the green fluorescence and lip-id ROS levels.Treatment with Cel also increased the levels of MDA and Fe2+,relative to the controls,which reducing the levels of GSH,while addition of both Cel and Fer-1 to the cells restored the levels of MDA,Fe2+,and GSH to those of the control group.CONCLUSION:Treatment with Cel reduces the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells by inducing fer-roptosis through promoting the ubiquitination and degradation of GPX4.

Objective Developing a new type of full-face respiratory protective mask for nuclear facility sites to enhance the sound transmission function and improve the facial adaptability. Methods Combined with feedback from on-site practical needs, this study utilized finite element simulation and ergonomic design methods to investigate the voice transmission units of full-face masks and the facial features of workers at key nuclear facilities. Based on the research results, a new full-face respiratory protection mask structure was designed. Results The optimized structure of passive thin film voice transmission unit significantly enhanced voice transmission efficiency, reducing average voice transmission loss by approximately 70% compared to the control group using thin plate units of equivalent thickness. The existing facial feature test panels insufficiently cover and unevenly classify the facial features of workers at key nuclear facilities. In this study, a specialized test panel based on measurement data achieved a total coverage of 98.5% with high distribution uniformity within each class, providing effective guidance for redesigning full-face mask structural parameters. In comparison to foreign products currently utilized in nuclear facilities, the newly designed full-face mask structure exhibited excellent tightness and structural safety and reliability, and can be cleaned, decontaminated, and reused. Conclusion The results of this study provide significant guidance for improving and optimizing full-face respiratory protection mask used at nuclear facilities, as well as promoting domestic production of high-quality full-face respiratory protection masks.
