Background 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation (RF) is a commonly used frequency in modern wireless communication devices, and its potential health effects have drawn much attention, especially its impact on bone metabolism, which has not been fully clarified. Objective To investigate the effects of 900 MHz RF on the bone tissue and osteoblast senescence of mice, as well as the dose-effect relationship. Methods In vivo, 3-month-old female C57BL/6 mice were divided into five groups (n=10): sham exposure, low-dose RF (50 μW·cm−2), medium-dose RF (150 μW·cm−2), high-dose RF (450 μW·cm−2), and D-galactose positive control (D-gal). Treatments were administered for 4 h per day for 28 d. Bone mineral density (BMD) and microstructure, including bone volume (BV), tissue volume (TV), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), were assessed by Micro-CT; bone morphology was examined after hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining; osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-κΒ ligand (RANKL) expression was detected by immunohistochemistry; serum OPG, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 15 (CXCL15) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); mRNA expression of Tp53, Cdkn1a, and Cdkn2a in bone tissue was analyzed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In vitro, MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts were grouped into sham, low-dose RF (50 μW·cm−2), medium-dose RF (150 μW·cm−2), high-dose RF (450 μW·cm−2), and H2O2 control, groups, and were exposed for 4 h per day for 5 d. Cell morphology was observed by microscopy; viability was tested by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8); senescence was evaluated by senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining; P53 and P21 protein expression was detected by Western blot; Tp53 and Cdkn1a mRNA levels were measured by RT-PCR. Results In vivo, RF at each dose significantly reduced the BMD of the mice's femurs and the bone microstructure parameters, such as BV/TV, Tb.N, and Tb.Th (P<0.05). Among them, Tb.Sp only increased in the 150 μW·cm−2 RF group (P<0.05), with a looser bone network; fewer, sparser trabeculae and increased marrow fat were observed after HE staining; down-regulated OPG and up-regulated RANKL expression levels were observed by immunohistochemistry; the ELISA test revealed that the serum OPG levels in the 150 μW·cm−2 RF group and the 450 μW·cm−2 RF group of mice were significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the indicator in the 50 μW·cm−2 RF group showed a decreasing trend but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05), TRACP-5b rose, and PAI-1, IL-6, and CXCL15 levels increased (P<0.05); the RT-PCR results showed thatTp53, Cdkn1a, and Cdkn2a mRNA expression was upregulated (P<0.05). In vitro, radiofrequency radiation induced cell flattening, reduced viability (P<0.05), increased SA-β-gal-positive cells (P<0.05), and upregulated P53, P21, Tp53, and Cdkn1a expression (P<0.05). Conclusion 900 MHz RF disrupts bone metabolism in mice by inhibiting bone formation, promoting resorption, and inducing osteoblast senescence, accelerating bone aging. The 150 μW·cm−2 RF dose exhibits the most pronounced effect, reflecting a nonlinear “window effect,” highlighting potential health risks.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of galangin on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in rats by regulating the Janus kinase 3 (JAK3)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway. METHODS Fifty male SD rats were taken, and an emulsion composed of bovine type Ⅱ collagen and Freund’s complete adjuvant was injected subcutaneously to establish an induced arthritis model. The rats that were successfully modeled were randomly divided into model group, low, medium and high dose groups of galangin (1, 5, 15 mg/kg), and methotrexate group (positive control, 2 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. Another 10 normal rats were taken as the normal group. Starting from the 15th day of modeling, each group of rats was gavaged with the corresponding drug solution or normal saline containing 0.5% Tween 80 once a day for 28 consecutive days. The arthritis index (AI) scores and paw volume of rats were compared before and after gavage administration. Twenty-four hours after the last administration, the serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-4 and IL-10 were determined, the pathological changes in ankle joint synovial tissue were observed, and the protein expressions of UNC-51 like kinase 1 (ULK1), Beclin-1, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), caspase-3, JAK3, phosphorylated JAK3 (p-JAK3), STAT3 and phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3) in the synovial tissue of the ankle joint were detected, as well as the fluorescence intensity of LC3-positive areas. RESULTS Compared with the model group, the pathological changes such as cellular proliferation of ankle joint synovial tissue and infiltration of inflammatory cells in rats of each administration group showed improvement. Moreover, their AI scores and paw pad volumes (on day 28 after gavage), the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α, the protein expression of Bcl-2, and the phosphorylation levels of JAK3 and STAT3 were all significantly reduced ( P <0.05). The levels of IL-4 and IL-10, the protein expressions of ULK1, Beclin-1, Bax, caspase-3 and LC3, as well as the fluorescence intensity of LC3-positive areas, were all significantly increased ( P <0.05). Moreover, the effect of galangin was in a dose-dependent manner ( P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS Galangin can induce sustained autophagy in synovial tissue cells of RA rats, promote cell apoptosis, inhibit synovial cell proliferation, and alleviate persistent inflammatory responses. The above anti-RA effects may be related to the inhibition of the JAK3/STAT3 pathway.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with stage Ⅰ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and analyze the factors associated with prognosis.Methods:A case series study was conducted by retrospectively collecting clinical data from patients aged over 60 years with newly diagnosed stage Ⅰ DLBCL across 20 medical centers in Jiangsu Province, China, between June 2010 and April 2023. The involved site, classification and treatment plan were summarized. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Statistical analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression model.Results:The study included 255 patients with a median age of 69 years, of whom 130 (51.0%) were male, 66 (25.9%) were aged ≥75 years and 26 (10.1%) had a high Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score of ≥2. Extranodal involvement was observed in 163 (63.9%) patients, with the stomach (37.4%, 61/163), intestine (19.0%, 31/163), testes (11.0%, 18/163), and breast (7.4%, 12/163) being the most frequently affected sites. The non-germinal center B-cell (non-GCB) subtype was prevalent in 63.7% of patients (142/223), with no significant difference between the nodal and extranodal groups ( P=0.681). Furthermore, 73.9% (184/249) and 11.7% (29/249) of patients received the R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) and R-miniCHOP regimen, respectively. The overall 3-year PFS rate was 81.5%, and the 3-year OS rate was 85.6%. Patients aged ≥75 years ( HR=2.910, 95% CI 1.565-5.408, P=0.001) and/or with a CCI score ≥2 ( HR=2.324, 95% CI 1.141-4.732, P=0.020) had a significantly poorer PFS. Incorporating age ≥75 years and CCI score ≥2 into the stage-modified international prognostic index (sm-IPI) can better stratify the prognosis of elderly patients with stage Ⅰ DLBCL. The 3-year PFS rate was 48.7% in the high-risk group versus 85.7% in the low-risk group ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Our findings show that the elderly patients with stage Ⅰ DLBCL were predominantly characterized by extranodal involvement (particularly in the stomach and intestinal tract) and non-GCB subtype. Age ≥75 years and CCI ≥2 were identified as independent prognostic factors. The newly established sm-IPI-75-CCI incorporating these factors demonstrated superior prognostic discrimination compared to conventional risk assessment systems.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of baseline serum levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) RNA for HBeAg seroconversion in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) subjects with advanced fibrosis/compensated cirrhosis undergoing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) therapy.Methods:A case-control study was conducted on 141 patients with CHB combined with advanced fibrosis/compensated cirrhosis who were treated with TDF and tested at Peking University People′s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2020. Patients were divided into HBeAg seroconversion (16 cases) group and non-seroconversion (59 cases) group based on whether HBeAg seroconversion occurred at 240 weeks after treatment. The patients were divided into HBeAg positive and negative groups at baseline (75 and 66 cases, repectively) and at 12 weeks treatment (61 and 80 cases, repectively). The baseline serum levels of relevant indicators were analyzed. HBV RNA levels were measured at baseline and at 240 weeks after treatment. The correlation between HBV RNA and HBV DNA was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis, and the predictive value was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:For the 75 HBeAg-positive patients at baseline, 21.3% (16/75) achieved HBeAg seroconversion. The HBV DNA and HBV RNA in the HBeAg-positive group were significantly higher than that in the HBeAg-negative group (all P<0.001). Compared with the non-seroconversion group, the HBeAg seroconversion group had significantly lower baseline serum levels of HBV RNA ( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum HBV RNA levels were positively correlated with HBV DNA in both baseline and 12 weeks HBeAg-negative group and HBeAg-positive group, respectively (baseline: r=0.718, 0.794, P<0.001; 12 weeks: r=0.689, 0.750, P<0.001). ROC curve showed that baseline levels of HBV RNA could be used as a predictor of HBeAg seroconversion in CHB patients with advanced fibrosis/compensated cirrhosis treated with TDF. The area under curve was 0.781, the sensitivity was 75.0%, and the specificity was 78.0%. Conclusion:Baseline serum levels of HBV RNA has a predictive value for HBeAg seroconversion in CHB patients with advanced fibrosis/compensated cirrhosis treated with TDF.

Objective:To establish a genomic nucleic acid mass spectrometry detection platform for allelic risk associated with Alzheimer's disease.Methods:Whole blood samples of 61 patients diagnosed as Alzheimer's disease in the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from December 28th, 2023 to 31st, March 2024 were collected and deoxynucleic acid (DNA) was extracted, including 22 males and 39 females, aged (67.36 ± 8.18) years old. After screening out 17 risk gene loci in Chinese population, multiplex polymerase chain reaction primers, single-base extension primers and Sanger sequencing primers were designed. Ten samples were used for primer optimization and debugging through Sanger sequencing and time-of-flight mass spectrometry to establish a detection system. The remaining samples were genotyped using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer and verified by Sanger sequencing for accuracy evaluation. Five samples were selected for gradient dilution and then subjected to time-of-flight mass spectrometry detection to evaluate the detection limit. Three clinical samples, one case of Escherichia coli and one case of Staphylococcus aureus genomic DNA samples were selected for cross-reaction research. The anti-interference ability of the detection system was evaluated against hemolysis, chylous substances and conventional anticoagulants in the samples. Two samples, one wild and one homozygous mutation sample with representative peak shapes, were selected to evaluate the anti-interference ability. Four samples containing the common genotypes of all gene loci in the system were selected and repeated 10 times to evaluate the precision.Results:The minimum intensity of single-base extension primers on mass spectrometry is greater than half of the maximum intensity. All 17 risk gene loci screened were successfully typed. The time-of-flight mass spectrometry detection results of 1,037 loci from 61 samples showed that the genotyping detection rate was 100%. The genotypes of the 20 DNA samples were completely consistent with the results of Sanger sequencing, with an accuracy rate of 100%. The mass spectrometry detection results of five samples after gradient dilution indicated that the low detection limit was 5 ng of DNA. The reaction system has a strong anti-interference ability against hemolysis of samples, chylous substances, conventional anticoagulants and DNA cross-contamination. Homologous allele interference and no cross-reaction between the bacterial genome and 17 gene loci do not affect the risk genome detection results. The results of 10 repeated mass spectrometry tests on 4 samples showed that the precision was 100%.Conclusion:The genomic detection system of Alzheimer's disease risk has been successfully established to provide an auxiliary mean for disease diagnosis and risk assessment.

ObjectiveTo find out whether there is any difference in the monitoring results of mosq-ovitraps placed in different orientations in multi-storey residential areas, so as to provide a scientific basis for routine and emergency monitoring of Aedes albopictus with mosq-ovitraps in residential areas. MethodsFrom July 6th to October 26th 2023, one mosquito ovitrap was set up in each of the 4 orientations of east, south, west and north around the buildings in a multi-storey residential area in Jinhui Town, Fengxian District, Shanghai. Data was collected and recorded 72 hours after placement. The chi-square test was used to compare the mosquito ovitrap indices (MOIs) of two independent samples, and the Kruskal⁃Wallis H test was used to compare the MOIs of multiple independent samples. ResultsAfter 16 weeks of surveillance, 997 mosquito ovitraps were recovered, of which 211 were positive, with the mosquito ovitrap index (MOI) of 21.16% and the Aedes albopictus density index of 1.03 mosquitoes·ovitrap-1. The MOIs were higher in September (24.22%) and October (23.96%), and the MOIs in the west, south and north within the two months were all above 20.00%. From July to October, the MOIs in the east, west, south and north were 20.70%, 22.20%, 25.50% and 16.20%, respectively, and the difference in MOIs among the 4 orientations was not statistically significant (χ2=6.647, P=0.084). Stratified analysis by month showed that in August, the south side of the multi-storey residential areas had the highest MOI (31.30%), the north side had the lowest MOI (1.30%), and there was a statistically significant difference in MOI in the east, west, south and north (χ2=25.986, P<0.001). In October, the MOI in the west was the highest (33.30%) and the MOI in the east was the lowest (6.30%), the difference in MOIs of the 4 orientations was statistically significant (χ2=12.007, P=0.007). The MOIs in the south side of the building in the outskirts of the residential area from the 1st week in July to the 4th week in October was lower (19.20%) than that in the south side of the inner building (31.70%), and the difference in MOI was statistically significant (χ2=5.118, P=0.024). ConclusionThe study of MOI in different orientations in a multi-storey residential area is a preliminary exploration based on field work, and the results show that there is a difference in MOIs in different orientations during the peak breeding period of mosquitoes. Further indicators such as temperature, humidity and wind speed in different orientations can be collected to explore the influencing factors of MOIs.

BACKGROUND:
Regulatory dendritic cell (DCreg) subset exhibits a unique capacity for inducing immune tolerance among the variety subsets of dendritic cells (DCs) within gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALTs). Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3L) is involved in the differentiation of DCregs and the subsequent expansion of regulatory T-cells (Tregs) mediated by DCregs, though the precise mechanism remains poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the expansion mechanism of Treg induced by DCreg and the role of FLT3L in this process.
METHODS:
DCregs were distinguished from other DC subsets isolated from GALTs of BALB/c mice through a mixed lymphocyte reaction assay. The functions and mechanisms by which FLT3L promoted Treg expansion via DCregs were investigated in vitro through co-culture experiments involving DCregs and either CD4 + CD25 - T-cells or CD4 + CD25 + T-cells. Additionally, an in vivo experiment was conducted using a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model in mice.
RESULTS:
CD103 + CD11b + DC exhibited DCreg-like functionality and was identified as DCreg for subsequent investigation. Analysis of Foxp3 + Treg percentages within a co-culture system of CD4 + CD25 - T-cells and DCregs, with or without FLT3L, demonstrated the involvement of the FLT3/FLT3L axis in driving the differentiation of precursor T-cells into Foxp3 + Tregs induced by DCregs. Cell migration and co-culture assays revealed that the FLT3/FLT3L axis enhanced DCreg migration toward Tregs via the Rho pathway. Additionally, it was observed that DCregs could promote Treg proliferation through the Notch pathway, as inhibition of Notch signaling by DAPT (N-[N-(3,5-difluorophenacetyl)-l-alanyl]-S-phenylglycine t-butyl ester) suppressed Treg expansion within the co-culture system of DCregs and CD4 + T-cells or CD4 + CD25 + T-cells. Furthermore, the FLT3/FLT3L axis influenced JAG1 expression in DCregs, indirectly modulating Treg expansion. In vivo experiments further established that FLT3L promoted DCreg expansion and restored Treg balance in DSS-induced colitis models, thereby ameliorating colitis symptoms in mice.
CONCLUSION
The FLT3/FLT3L axis is integral to the maintenance of DCreg function in Treg expansion.

Objective:
To investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes and syndrome elements in lymphoma, as well as the correlation between TCM syndromes and Western clinical indicators, in order to analyze associations between TCM syndromes and these indicators.
Methods:
From January 2023 to May 2024, 216 patients with lymphoma who met the inclusion criteria in the Department of Hematology, Third People′s Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled. Four diagnostic methods were applied to perform TCM syndrome differentiation and extract syndrome elements. The correlations between various syndromes and blood test indicators of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin M (IgM), immunoglobulin A (IgA), white blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet count (PLT), neutrophil (NEUT), immunohistochemical markers of B-cell lymphoma-6 (BCL6), B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2), proto-oncogene MYC, and Ki67 protein expression, Ann Arbor staging, international prognostic index (IPI) score, bone marrow infiltration, concurrent infections during chemotherapy, and post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression rate were analyzed.
Results:
Five TCM syndromes, ranked by frequency, were syndromes of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation(41.67%), qi depression with phlegm obstruction(30.56%), cold-phlegm congelation and stagnation(12.96%), phlegm-blood stasis toxin(12.04%), and lingering pathogen due to deficient vital qi(2.77%). Yin deficiency(50.93%) and phlegm(45.37%) were the more prevalent syndrome elements. The TCM syndromes were correlated with β2-MG, PLT, MYC, BCL2/MYC, Ki67 protein expression, and bone marrow infiltration (P<0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed in Ann Arbor staging or IPI score across the syndromes. Compared to the syndrome of cold-phlegm congelation and stagnation, the syndrome of qi depression with phlegm obstruction exhibited higher levels of NEUT, MYC, BCL2/MYC, and Ki67 protein expression, as well as a higher rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression (P<0.05); the syndrome of phlegm-blood stasis toxin showed higher MYC and BCL2/MYC protein expression and a higher rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression rate (P<0.05); the syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation demonstrated higher MYC and BCL2/MYC protein expression and bone marrow infiltration rates, whereas PLT level was lower (P<0.05); the syndrome of lingering pathogen due to deficient vital qi had higher MYC, BCL2/MYC, and Ki67 protein expression levels, as well as a higher rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression rate (P<0.05). Compared to the syndrome of qi depression with phlegm obstruction, the syndrome of phlegm-blood stasis toxin exhibited lower Ki67 protein expression (P<0.05); the syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation had higher β2-MG level, bone marrow infiltration rate, and rate of concurrent infections during chemotherapy, whereas PLT and NEUT levels and the rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression rate were lower (P<0.05). Compared to the syndrome of phlegm-blood stasis toxin, the syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation had higher β2-MG level, whereas NEUT and the rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression were lower(P<0.05); the syndrome of lingering pathogen due to deficient vital qi exhibited a higher Ki67 protein expression (P<0.05). Compared to the syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation, the syndrome of lingering pathogen due to deficient vital qi also showed a higher Ki67 protein expression(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation is relatively common in lymphoma. There is a correlation between TCM syndromes and Western medicine clinical indicators. The presence of heat signs in the syndromes may indicate active disease and poor prognosis, while the presence of strong pathogenic factors and weak vital qi in the syndromes may indicate a severer chemotherapy-related bone marrow suppression.

[Objective] To explore the strategy of blood management in patients with massive transfusion in the frigid plateau region. [Methods] The treatment process of a patient with liver rupture in the frigid plateau region was analyzed, and the blood management strategy of the frigid plateau region was discussed in combination with the difficulties of blood transfusion and literature review. [Results] The preoperative complete blood count (CBC) test results of the patient were as follows: RBC 3.14×1012/L, Hb 106 g/L, HCT 30.40%, PLT 115.00×109/L; coagulation function: PT 18.9 s, FiB 1.31 g/L, DD > 6 μg/mL, FDP 25.86 μg/mL; ultrasound examination and imaging manifestations suggested liver contusion and laceration / intraparenchymal hematoma, splenic contusion and laceration, and massive blood accumulation in the abdominal cavity; it was estimated that the patient's blood loss was ≥ 2 000 mL, and massive blood transfusion was required during the operation; red blood cell components were timely transfused during the operation, and the blood component transfusion was guided according to the patient's CBC and coagulation function test results, providing strong support and guarantee for the successful treatment of the patient. The patient recovered well after the operation, and the CBC test results were as follows: RBC 4.32×1012/L, Hb 144 g/L, HCT 39.50%, PLT 329.00×109/L; coagulation function: APTT 29.3 s, PT 12.1 s, FiB 2.728 g/L, DD>6 μg/mL, FDP 25.86 μg/mL. The patient was discharged after 20 days, and regular follow-up reexamination showed no abnormal results. [Conclusion] Individualized blood management strategy should comprehensively consider the patient’s clinical symptoms, the degree of hemoglobin decline, dynamic coagulation test results and existing treatment conditions. Efficient and reasonable patient blood management strategies can effectively improve the clinical outcomes of massive transfusion patients in the frigid plateau region.

Objective:To explore the relationship between autistic trait and pain empathy among college students, as well as the mediating role of personal pain perception.Methods:From October to December 2023, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1 195 college students using the autism spectrum quotient, pain sensitivity questionnaire, fear of pain questionnaire, pain catastrophizing scale and empathy for pain scale.SPSS 27.0 software was used for descriptive statistics and correlation analysis.A structural equation model was constructed using Mplus 8.3 to examine the mediating effect of personal pain perception, which was composed of pain sensitivity, fear and catastrophizing cognition.Results:Autistic trait(22.00(18.00, 26.00))was significantly positively correlated with pain sensitivity (55.00(43.00, 70.00)), fair of pain (69.00(60.00, 78.00)), and pain catastrophizing cognition (16.00(8.00, 23.00)) ( r=0.112, 0.154, 0.204, all P<0.001).Autistic trait was also significantly positively correlated with affective distress(62.00(46.00, 80.00), r=0.162, P<0.001) and vicarious pain (14.00(8.00, 20.00), r=0.096, P<0.001) of pain empathy.Pain sensitivity, fear of pain and pain catastrophizing cognition were significantly positively correlated with affective distress( r=0.244, 0.332, 0.375, all P<0.001) and vicarious pain ( r=0.210, 0.232, 0.285, all P<0.001) of pain empathy.The effects of autistic trait on affective distress and vicarious pain dimensions of pain empathy were fully mediated by personal pain perception, with the mediating effects of 0.115( P<0.001, 95% CI=0.073-0.165) and 0.085( P<0.001, 95% CI=0.053-0.124). Conclusions:The autistic trait of college students can predict the affective distress and vicarious pain of pain empathy indirectly through personal pain perception.
