HDAC7, a member of class IIa HDACs, plays a pivotal regulatory role in tumor, immune, fibrosis, and angiogenesis, rendering it a potential therapeutic target. Nevertheless, due to the high similarity in the enzyme active sites of class IIa HDACs, inhibitors encounter challenges in discerning differences among them. Furthermore, the substitution of key residue in the active pocket of class IIa HDACs renders them pseudo-enzymes, leading to a limited impact of enzymatic inhibitors on their function. In this study, proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology was employed to develop HDAC7 drugs. We developed an exceedingly selective HDAC7 PROTAC degrader B14 which showcased superior inhibitory effects on cell proliferation compared to TMP269 in various diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Subsequent investigations unveiled that B14 disrupts BCL6 forming a transcriptional inhibition complex by degrading HDAC7, thereby exerting proliferative inhibition in DLBCL. Our study broadened the understanding of the non-enzymatic functions of HDAC7 and underscored the importance of HDAC7 in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, particularly in DLBCL and AML.

Noise-induced hearing loss is a worldwide public health issue that is characterized by temporary or permanent changes in hearing sensitivity. This condition is closely linked to inflammatory responses, and interventions targeting the inflammatory gene tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) are known to mitigate cochlear noise damage. TNFα-induced proteins (TNFAIPs) are a family of translucent acidic proteins, and TNFAIP6 has a notable association with inflammatory responses. To date, there have been few reports on TNFAIP6 levels in the inner ear. To elucidate the precise mechanism, we generated transgenic mouse models with conditional knockout of Tnfaip6 (Tnfaip6 cKO). Evaluation of hair cell morphology and function revealed no significant differences in hair cell numbers or ribbon synapses between Tnfaip6 cKO and wild-type mice. Moreover, there were no notable variations in hair cell numbers or hearing function in noisy environments. Our results indicate that Tnfaip6 does not have a substantial impact on the auditory system.

Most tumor cells and healthy neurons are at rest during G0 phase.Once the cell cycle is abnormally re-entered under certain conditions,the proliferation of tumor cells and the degenerative necrosis of neurons can be initiated.From the perspective of the cell cycle,cancer and central nervous system diseases,two seemingly different disease types,have a common pathogenesis.This type of diseases is named aberrant cell cycle diseases.As a newly discovered microRNA(miR),miR-1976 is closely related to the regulation of the cell cycle.This review summarizes the progress in the research on miR-1976 in cancer and central nervous system diseases,aiming to provide a reference for the clinical application of miR-1976 in aberrant cell cycle diseases in the future.

Cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1(CYFRA21-1)is a new biomarker which has received much attention in recent years for cancer screening,and has shown great potentials for screening and diagnosis of various cancers,especially non-small cell lung cancer.CYFRA21-1 level in human serum has important clinical significance in the diagnosis,prognosis and treatment of lung cancer.Recently,a variety of detection techniques have been established to effectively enrich the detection technology system of CYFRA21-1,such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,chemiluminescence,fluorescence,immunochromatography,electrochemical method,and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy,etc.These techniques provide technical support for early diagnosis of lung cancer.However,the research progress of CYFRA21-1 detection methods is rarely reported.In this paper,CYFRA21-1 and its clinical significance were briefly introduced,and the progress of detection technology in recent ten years was reviewed,which was expected to provide reference for developing more sensitive,accurate,fast and convenient detection methods.

Objective To analyze the relationship between different degrees of cerebral venous sinus stenosis and the trans-stenotic pressure gradient using a 3D-printed hemodynamic simulation system for cerebral venous sinuses.Methods Based on the double elastic cavity model,a complete morphological model of the superior sagittal sinus,transverse sinus,and sigmoid sinuses was constructed using 3D printing technology.An in vitro hemodynamic simulation system incorporating pulsatile blood flow was established to simulate the hemodynamic environment of cerebral venous sinus stenosis.Using this system,both unilateral dominant drainage and bilateral balanced drainage were simulated.The degree of stenosis and the pressure upstream and downstream of the stenosis were measured.The pressure difference and pressure ratio were calculated to analyze the correlation between stenosis degree and the trans-stenotic pressure gradient.Results In the unilateral dominant drainage model,as the stenosis severity increased,the upstream pressure increased,whereas the downstream pressure remained relatively stable,leading to an increased pressure gradient between the two ends.The regression equation for stenosis degree(X)and pressure gradient(pressure difference ΔP)was:YΔP=1.962X-1.417(R=0.867,R2=0.753,P<0.001).In the bilateral balanced drainage model of cerebral venous sinuses,when the stenosis degree on one side of the model increased,the pressure gradient between the two ends changed slightly and eventually reached a stable state.The regression equation between X and ΔP was:YΔP=0.62X+1.047(R=0.98,R2=0.96,P<0.001).Conclusions Stenosis in cerebral venous sinuses with unilateral dominant drainage has a more significant impact on the pressure gradient,while unilateral stenosis in bilateral cerebral venous sinuses with balanced drainage has a smaller impact on the pressure gradient.This result suggests that for bilateral venous sinus stenosis,stent implantation can be prioritized in one side of the cerebral venous sinuses.

Objective To compare the efficacy and prognostic impact of ruiyun procedure for hemorrhoid(RPH)and procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoid(PPH)in patients with mixed hemor-rhoids.Methods A total of 218 patients with mixed hemorrhoids who underwent surgical treatment in the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department of our hospital from November 2022 to October 2023 were included in this study.According to differed surgical methods,the patients were divided into RPH group(n=108)and PPH group(n=110).The operative time,intraoperative blood loss,length of hospital stay,surgical treatment outcomes,postoperative complication rates,and recurrence rates were compared between the two groups.The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)was used to assess pain degree of patients before surgery,24 hours after surgery,and during the first defecation.The 36-Item Short Form Health Survey(SF-36)was employed to evaluate the quality of life,and the Patient Satis-faction Questionnaire(PSQ)was used to investigate patients' satisfaction with the surgical treatment.Results The total effective rate of treatment in the RPH group was 88.89％,which was higher than 78.18％in the PPH group(P＜0.05).The operative time,intraoperative blood loss,and length of hospital stay in the RPH group were shorter or less than those in the PPH group(P＜0.05).The VAS scores at 24 hours after surgery and during the first defecation in the RPH group were lower than those in the PPH group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).After surgery,the SF-36 and PSQ scores in both the RPH and PPH groups were higher than those before surgery,and the scores in the RPH group were higher than those in the PPH group,with statistically signifi-cant differences(P＜0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications in the RPH group was lower than that in the PPH group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Six months after surgery,there was no significant difference in the recurrence rates between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Both RPH and PPH are effective surgical methods for the treat-ment of mixed hemorrhoids.RPH is superior to PPH in reducing postoperative complications and shortening the length of hospital stay,but there is no significant difference in the postoperative recur-rence rates between the two methods.

Objective: To investigate the impact of childhood traumatic experiences on individual risktaking decisions in early adulthood using functional nearinfrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), so as to provide the reference for clarifying the brain mechanisms underlying the impact of childhood trauma on individual risky decision. Methods: From December 2023 to March 2024, 28 children with childhood trauma experiences (trauma group) and 32 healthy college students (control group) were selected from Jining Medical University by a combination of stratified descent and convenient sampling methods. All subjects participated in the Iowa Game task fNIRS scanning. The brain activation, functional connectivity, graph theory properties (degree centrality, betweenness centrality, and local efficiency), and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis were performed by using preprocessing fNIRS data. Results: Compared with control group, trauma group showed significantly fewer choice times in the inferior deck (Z=-0.88), and showed significantly decreased activation levels in the right frontalpolar (Z=-2.59), as well as showed significant decreased functional connectivity between left dorsolateral prefrontal and in right dorsolateral prefrontal (Z=-3.78), and between left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the right frontal pole (Z=-3.68)(P<0.05). The central index of right inferior frontal gyrus in the trauma group was higher than that in the control group, while the central index of left and right dorsolateral frontal lobes was lower than that in the control group (Z=2.13, -2.53, -2.12, P<0.05). The centrality index of the right inferior frontal gyrus in the trauma group was higher than that in the control group (Z=2.47, P<0.05). The local efficiency indicators of the right inferior frontal gyrus, left and right frontal pole in the trauma group were higher than those in the control group (Z=2.51, 2.17, 2.53, P<0.05). The results of the ROC curve analysis showed that the local efficiency achieved the highest area under the curve (AUC=0.68). Conclusions Young adults with childhood trauma experience tend to choose lower loss, and the frontal pole shows a lack of activation in the whole process of risk decision performance. The abnormalities in the brain connectivity and network properties might be the neural basis of excessive defense mechanisms that childhood trauma leads to risky decisions.

Physcion (PHY) is an anthraquinone compound derived from traditional Chinese medicine such as Rhei Radix et Rhizoma. The aim of this study is to investigate the improvement of PHY on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its underlying mechanism. NAFLD was induced in mice by feeding with the methionine- and choline-deficient diet (MCD) for 6 weeks. This experiment was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (approval number: PZSHUTCM190705019). The results displayed that PHY (5 and 20 mg·kg^-1) reversed liver damage, reduced hepatic lipid accumulation and decreased the elevated NAFLD activity score (NAS) in MCD-fed NAFLD mice. Results from Western blot and enzyme activity demonstrated that PHY could enhance the protein expression and enzyme activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) in the liver and L-02 cells, but it did not affect Cpt1a mRNA expression. Immunofluorescence results indicated that PHY (10 and 25 μmol·L^-1) could reduce the mitochondrial injury induced by non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) in L-02 cells. Results from seahorse assay showed that PHY could enhance mitochondrial basic respiration, maximal respiration, ATP synthesis and reserve respiration in L-02 cells treated with NEFA, but had no effect on mitochondrial proton leakage. In summary, PHY reversed mitochondrial damage and enhanced fatty acid β-oxidation, thereby reducing hepatic steatosis and improving NAFLD.
