Objective:To investigate the effect of Ureaplasma spp.lipid-associated membrane proteins(LAMPs)on macro-phage M1 polarization,and clarify how LAMPs resist to ferroptosis by regulating macrophage M1 polarization.The overall goal is to contribute to a better understanding of pathogenesis of non-gonococcal urethritis caused by Ureaplasma spp.Methods:ELISA,qPCR and flow cytometry were used to analyze the effect of LAMPs on M1 polarization of macrophages;Western blot to detect how LAMPs stimulates NF-κB pathway during M1 polarization of macrophages;gene interference technology was used to elucidate how LAMPs affects macrophage M1 polarization through regulating NF-κB pathway;CCK8 and Western blot were used to find out how LAMPs affects macrophage ferroptosis by regulating NF-κB pathway.Results:ELISA,qPCR and flow cytometry results showed that LAMPs promoted macrophage polarization to M1;Western blot results showed that LAMPs increased levels of p-p65 in macrophages;interfering with p65 expression could inhibit M1 polarization process of macrophages that mediated by LAMPs,and inhibition of macrophage ferroptosis that mediated by LAMPs could be significantly reversed.Conclusion:LAMPs inhibits ferroptosis by accelerating macrophage M1 po-larization,which is one of the important pathogenic factors of non-gonococcal urethritis caused by Ureaplasma spp.

BACKGROUND:Idiopathic scoliosis is most common among al the scoliosis. Accompanied by the nervous system, the endocrine system as wel as nutritional and metabolic abnormalities, patients usual y cannot be redressed and cured by conservative treatment, but often require surgical operation. Surgery for malformation is a very complicated project, and is real y of great significance for an in-depth research on treatment and turnover of idiopathic scoliosis.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the correction effect of posterior screw-rod fixation for idiopathic scoliosis, and explore the relevant factors influencing its effectiveness.
METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed 80 cases receiving pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in the latest four years. Age, gender, disease duration, preoperative and postoperative X-ray measurement of coronal Cobb’s angle, and trunk deviation were recorded, and statistical y analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Univariate analysis showed that gender and disease duration were not significantly correlated with postoperative correction results (P>0.05). However, the age distribution of patients, the location of scoliosis, and scoliosis flexibility were associated with curative effects of internal fixation (P<0.05). Posterior screw-rod fixation for idiopathic scoliosis can achieve significant effects. The patient’s age, location and flexibility of scoliosis have a significant effect on the effects of fixation. The patient’s gender and disease duration had no significant effect on fixation effects.
