Objective To investigate the effect of cinobufacini on immune escape of acute myeloid leukemia(AML)by regulating myosin heavy chain 9(MYH9)/ubiquitin-specific protease 7(USP7)/cellular-myelocytomatosis viral oncogene(c-MYC)pathway.Methods(1)In vivo experiment:a nude mouse xenograft tumor model was established to evaluate the effect of cinobufotalin on the growth and immune escape of AML cells in vivo.(2)In vitro experiments:human AML cell line HL-60 was treated with different concentrations of cinobufacini,cell viability was detected by cell counting kit 8(CCK-8),and HL-60 cell invasion was detected by Transwell assay.HL-60 cells were co-cultured with activated CD8+ T cells,the expression of CD25,the surface marker of CD8+ T cells,was detected by flow cytometry,the levels of cytokines[interleukin-2(IL-2)and interferon(IFN-γ)]in the co-culture supernatant were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).CytoTox96 non-radioactive cytotoxicity assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells to HL-60 cells.The protein expressions of MYH9,USP7 and c-MYC in HL-60 cells were detected by Western Blot.The interaction between MYH9,USP7 and ubiquitination was detected by co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP)assay.The MYH9 overexpression plasmid was tranfected to verify the mechanism of cinobufacini in AML.Results Cinobufacini treatment inhibited xerograft tumor growth in nude mice and enhanced the anti-tumor ability of CD8+ T cells.Cinobufacini treatment inhibited HL-60 cell viability and invasion in a concentration-dependent manner.Cinobufacini treatment up-regulated the expression of CD25,a surface marker of CD8+ T cells,and also up-regulated the levels of IL-2 and IFN-γ.Cinobufotalin enhanced the toxicity of CD8+ T cells to HL-60 cells.Cinobufacini inhibits the protein expressions of MYH9,USP7 and c-MYC in HL-60 cells.MYH9 promotes c-MYC deubiquitination by recruiting USP7,but cinobufacini inhibits MYH9-mediated c-MYC deubiquitination.Conclusion Cinobufacini can reduce the recruitment of c-MYC by deubiquitinating enzyme USP7 by inhibiting the expression of MYH9,and promote the ubiquitination and degradation of c-MYC,thereby inhibiting the immune escape of AML cells.

Objective To establish an acute exposure model of extreme plateau hypobaric hypoxia environment and explore transcriptomic changes related to learning and memory impairment in rats.Methods Healthy male SD rats aged 6-weeks,200-250 g,were selected and divided into control group and plateau group.The control group was treated with normal pressure and oxygen(19 rats),and the plateau group was placed in a hypobaric hypoxia chamber(19 rats)at a simulated altitude of 8000 meters and treated for 72 hours.Behavioral changes were detected with 16 animals from each group using contextual fear conditioning and Morris water maze(8 rats each).Three hippocampal tissues were extracted from each group for transcriptomic sequencing,and the molecular mechanism of learning and memory impairment induced by extreme plateau environment was analyzed by Gene Ontology(GO),Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)and gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)enrichment.Results The behavioral result showed that compared with the control group,the fear memory and spatial learning memory abilities of rats in plateau group were decreased.GO and KEGG analyses showed that the extreme altitude environment reshaped the hippocampal microenvironment and affected the intercellular signal transmission,while GSEA analysis showed that the extreme altitude environment up-regulated the gene set related to the plasma membrane and extracellular matrix.Conclusion The extreme plateau environment at an altitude of 8000 meters could affect the microenvironment of rat hippocampus,destroy intercellular connections and impair intercellular communication and then induce learning and memory impairment.

OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to analyze the mediating effect of body dissatisfaction in correlation between obesity and dietary behavior changes for weight loss (DBCWL).
METHODS:
A total of 680 primary and middle school students were included in this study. Their body height, weight, and waistline were effectively measured, and they were also evaluated to assess their body dissatisfaction, perception of dietary behaviors, and DBCWL. The correlation among these factors was analyzed using mediating effect models.
RESULTS:
The prevalence of overweight/obesity and abdominal obesity was significantly higher in males than in females (P < 0.05). Overweight/obesity, abdominal obesity, and body dissatisfaction significantly increased the risk for DBCWL (OR = 2.57, 2.77, and 1.95, respectively). Overweight/obesity and abdominal obesity significantly increased the risk for body dissatisfaction (OR = 6.00 and 4.70, respectively). Significant mediating effects of body dissatisfaction were observed in correlation between overweight/obesity and DBCWL and between abdominal obesity and DBCWL (OR = 2.20 and 1.92, respectively; P < 0.05), and the proportions of mediating effects among the total effects were 48.89% and 46.60%, respectively.
CONCLUSION
Body dissatisfaction might play an important mediating effect in association between DBCWL and obesity, which indicates that guiding children to correctly recognize their body might be more conducive than promoting obese children toward weight loss through dietary behavior changes.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of bivalirudin on reperfusion of coronary artery in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods In our study, we evaluated 245 patients with acute myocardial infarction who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention between April 2012 to May 2015. Based on the therapy during operation, bivalirudin were used in 122 patients and heparin was used in 123 patients. Study outcomes included immediate TIMI(thrombolysis in myocardial infarction)flow and CTFC(Corrected TIMI Frame Count)by angiogrophy once the target lesion was opened rates of ,in-hospital thrombocytopenia, bleeding events myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization and the incidence of MACE(major adverse cardiac events)in 30 days and 1 year. Results The mean heart rate was higher in the bivalirudin group(P=0.034). There was no significant difference between the two groups in laboratory results or interventional data(P>0.05). After the target vessel was opened, the effect of bivalirudin on slow/no-reflow in primary PCI has no difference between heparin in terms of TIMI blood evaluation or CTFC (P>0.05). Hospitalization data analysis showed that bivalirudin was able to obtain a higher activated whole blood coagulation time(ACT)value(P<0.001)with lower decrease in the number of platelets. Follow-up data of 30 days and 1 year showed no difference in the incidence of MACE and net adverse clinical events(NACE)between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusions Bivalirudin has well efficacy and safety in patients with acute myocardial infarction in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing PPCI without increasing the incidence of slow/no-reflow.
