OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of isochlorogenic acid A against hepatocellular carcinoma based on the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin （PI3K/Akt/mTOR） signaling pathway and multi-omics technology. METHODS The invasion rate and migration rate of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells after 48 h of intervention with 0 （control group）， 0.25 and 0.5 mg/mL isochlorogenic acid A were examined； mRNA expression of DEP domain-containing mTOR-interacting protein （DEPTOR）， the protein expressions of mTOR， PI3K and phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten （PTEN）， as well as the phosphorylation level of Akt protein were determined in the cells. Metabolomics analysis was performed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry， and differential metabolites were screened and subjected to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis； transcriptomics monitoring was conducted by RNA sequencing， and differentially expressed genes were screened and subjected to gene ontology （GO） and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses. RESULTS Compared with the control group， intervention with 0.25 and 0.5 mg/mL isochlorogenic acid A for 48 h significantly inhibited the invasion rate and migration rate of HepG2 cells， significantly up-regulated the mRNA expression of DEPTOR and the protein expression of PTEN， and significantly down-regulated the protein expression of PI3K and the phosphorylation level of Akt protein （except for 0.25 mg/mL isochlorogenic acid A） （ P ＜0.05）. A total of 304 differential metabolites and 212 differentially expressed genes were screened by multi-omics analysis. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis suggested that isochlorogenic acid A regulated key signaling of HepG2 cell growth mainly by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， synergizing with metabolic reprogramming such as mTOR signaling pathway， ferroptosis， pentose phosphate pathway and purine/pyrimidine metabo lism. CONCLUSIONS The anti-hepatocellular carcinoma effect of isochlorogenic acid A is associated with the blockade of abnormal activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. In addition， it may also be related to the inhibition of the pentose phosphate pathway and purine/pyrimidine metabolism， as well as the induction of ferroptosis，etc.

AIM:To investigate the mechanism of reduced tear secretion in depression-related dry eye rats based on 5-HT/TRPV4/AQP5.METHODS:Healthy SD male rats were established with chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)method to establish a depression-induced dry eye model(n=8), and the control group was blank rats(n=8). The ELISA method was used to compare the 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)in serum and hippocampal tissue of the two groups, and the HE sections of lacrimal gland and AQP5 immunohistochemistry were observed. Western blot and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression of 5-HT3R, TRPV4 and AQP5 in the lacrimal gland tissue of the two groups of rats.RESULTS:The tear secretion in the depression-induced group was significantly reduced(P=0.001), the serum and hippocampal 5-HT levels were significantly reduced(all P<0.05), the expression of AQP5 antibody in the lacrimal gland immunohistochemistry was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.001), the expression of 5-HT3R, TRPV4 and AQP5 in the lacrimal gland was significantly reduced(all P<0.05), and no obvious inflammatory cells were found in the lacrimal gland tissue sections.CONCLUSION:Depression-related dry eye may occur through a non-inflammatory 5-HT/TRPV4/AQP5 mechanism.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating role of psychological resilience and perceived social support between cancer-related fatigue and quality of life in patients undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer, and to inform interventions to improve quality of life in patients undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 275 lung cancer patients with chemotherapy admitted to three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province from June 2022 to November 2023 for the study. General Information Questionnaire, Cancer Fatigue Scale, Quality of Life Instruments for Cancer Patients-Lung (QLICP-LU), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Perceived Social Support Scale were used to survey the patients. Correlations between cancer-related fatigue, psychological resilience, perceived social support, and quality of life in lung cancer patients with chemotherapy were analyzed using Spearman correlation. Model 6 in the SPSS PROCESS program was used to test for chain mediating effects. A total of 275 questionnaires were distributed, 268 questionnaires were recovered, excluding the regular answer questionnaires, the valid questionnaires were 252, the effective recovery rate of questionnaires was 91.64% (252/275) .Results:Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences in QLICP-LU scores among lung cancer patients with chemotherapy of different ages, educational levels, marital status, per capita monthly household income, and tumor stages ( P<0.01). Spearman correlation analysis showed that cancer-related fatigue was negatively correlated with psychological resilience, perceived social support and quality of life in patients undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer ( P<0.01), and quality of life was positively correlated with psychological resilience and perceived social support ( P<0.01), and psychological resilience was positively correlated with perceived social support ( P<0.01). Mediating effect analysis showed that the direct effect of cancer-related fatigue on quality of life was -0.302, which accounted for 77.44% of the total effect. Psychological resilience and perceived social support realized mediating effects between cancer-related fatigue and quality of life through three mediating pathways, with a total indirect effect of -0.088, accounting for 22.56% of the total effect. Conclusions:Cancer-related fatigue can not only directly affect the quality of life of patients undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer, but it can also have an indirect effect on them through the mediating role of psychological resilience and perceived social support. While focusing on patients' cancer-related fatigue, medical and nursing staff should focus on assessing patients' psychological status, providing psychological support, and increasing social support so as to improve patients' quality of life.

The complex pathological mechanism of dry eye involves multiple pathways, such as immunity and inflammation, and requires an integral research program to control the whole picture. Various histological techniques can elucidate the complex physio-pathological state of organisms from a holistic and global perspective, thus providing more comprehensive biological information. Mass spectrometry can sensitively detect the changes of protein content in tear samples, providing convenience for proteomics research of dry eye. At present, proteomics has demonstrated its application in the identification of dry eye types, severity grading, and therapeutic effect evaluation. In addition, proteomics combined with metabolomics and microbiomics can more comprehensively explain the pathogenesis of dry eye. In the future, proteomics is expected to provide more powerful support for the precise diagnosis and treatment of dry eye, taking an advantage in targeted therapy.

Diabetes is a common chronic non-infectious disease. Diabetic patients not only suffer from metabolic disorders, but are also prone to immune deficiencies and are at a higher risk of being infected with human papillomavirus (HPV). Many studies at home and abroad have shown that the HPV infection rate of patients with diabetes is higher than that of non-diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes can benefit from HPV vaccination, and the tolerance is good. HPV vaccination is recommended for diabetic patients. This article reviews the research on diabetes, HPV infection, and HPV vaccine, which will provide references for HPV vaccination in diabetic patients.

Objective:To explore the cognitive function characteristics of children with primary snoring (PS) and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) using event-related potentials.Methods:From October 2020 to October 2022, 20 children with OSAHS, 20 children with PS, and 22 normal children were recruited for continuous performance task (CPT) and behavioral assessments. ERP and behavioral data were meticulously recorded, with measurements of N1, P2, N2, and P3 wave amplitudes and latencies at F3, Fz, and F4 electrode sites. Statistical analyses were conducted using one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test via SPSS 25.0 software.Results:(1) Behavioural test: There was no statistically significant difference in terms of correct responses, response times, and false alarms among the three groups (all P>0.05). (2) F3 Lead: There were statistically significant differences in Go-P2 amplitude, Nogo-P2 amplitude, Nogo-P2 latency, Go-P3 amplitude, and Nogo-P3 latency among the three groups (all P<0.05). Specifically, the OSAHS group exhibited higher Go-P2 amplitude((15.03±5.12) μV vs (10.97±5.50)μV), Nogo-P2 amplitude((14.80±5.84) μV vs (9.67±4.79)μV), and Go-P3 amplitude((11.58±6.02) μV vs (7.49±4.89) μV) compared to the normal group. Additionally, the OSAHS and PS groups exhibited longer Nogo-P2 latency compared to the normal group((223.10±20.61) ms vs (208.00±23.09) ms, (230.60±13.61) ms vs (208.00±23.09) ms), as well as prolonged Nogo-P3 latency((459.20±34.26) ms vs (460.40±24.52) ms and (429.91±31.49) ms) (all P<0.05). Fz Lead: There were statistically significant differences in Go-N1, Go-P2, Nogo-P2, Go-P3, Nogo-N2 wave amplitudes, and Nogo-P3 latency among the three groups (all P<0.05). Compared to the normal group, the OSAHS group exhibited increased Go-P3 amplitude((9.07±5.68) μV vs (5.10±3.51) μV) and decreased Nogo-N2 amplitude((-8.80±5.97) μV vs (-12.84±4.86) μV). Moreover, both the OSAHS and PS groups had prolonged Nogo-P3 latency compared to the normal group((481.60±45.16) ms vs (435.13±28.17) ms and 484.00(443.50, 525.00) ms vs (435.13±28.17) ms) (both P<0.05). F4 Lead: There were statistically significant differences in Go-P2 and Nogo-P2 wave amplitudes among the three groups (all P<0.05). Compared to the normal group, the OSAHS group demonstrated increased Go-P2 amplitude((13.72±5.64) μV vs (9.70±4.59) μV) and Nogo-P2 amplitude((13.90±5.35) μV vs (9.64±3.74) μV) (both P<0.05). Conclusions:Both children with OSAHS and PS exhibit attentional cognitive impairments. However, children with OSAHS demonstrate more pronounced deficits in conflict monitoring, response inhibition, and executive functioning. The prolonged latency of the P3 wave serves as a sensitive electrophysiological marker for the early detection of neurocognitive impairment in children with sleep disordered breathing.
