Mitochondrial biogenesis represents a promising therapeutic target in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) due to its essential role in cancer cell metabolism and survival. The natural compound γ-Elemene exhibits potent anti-tumor activity, but its effects on mitochondrial regulation in TNBC remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that γ-Elemene induces dose-dependent cytotoxicity in MDA-MB-468 and HCC1806 TNBC cells while significantly impairing mitochondrial function, as shown by reduced membrane potential, oxidative phosphorylation capacity, and ATP production. γ-Elemene treatment markedly suppressed mitochondrial biogenesis, decreasing mitochondrial DNA content and downregulating key mitochondrial genes and proteins. These effects were associated with reduced expression of the master regulators NRF1 and TFAM, but independent of PGC-1α expression levels.Mechanistically, γ-Elemene upregulated the acetyltransferase GCN5, leading to enhanced PGC-1α acetylation. This upregulation occurs primarily through increased GCN5 transcription. Genetic ablation of GCN5 completely reversed γ-Elemene-induced PGC-1α acetylation and restored mitochondrial biogenesis and cell viability, establishing a critical role for GCN5 in mediating these effects. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism whereby γ-Elemene disrupts mitochondrial function in TNBC through GCN5-mediated PGC-1α acetylation, providing new insights into its anti-cancer properties and potential therapeutic applications against TNBC.

Objective:To investigate the effect of "four-staff co-management" follow-up mode on risk factor control and medium-term prognosis improvement in patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:This was a intervention study. Patients with coronary heart disease who were admitted to the Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital of Xiamen University from June 2021 to January 2022 and successfully discharged after PCI were included. According to the different types of follow-up after discharge, patients were divided into the traditional follow-up group and the "four-staff co-management" follow-up group. The "four-staff co-management" follow-up mode means that specialists, specialist managers in third-level A hospitals and general practitioners and health managers in basic hospitals were jointly responsible for post-discharge follow-up of PCI patients. Baseline clinical data were collected. The primary endpoints were the rate of compliance of coronary heart disease risk factor control at 12 months after surgery, the rate of secondary surgery, and the incidence of mid-term major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). Unplanned secondary PCI included symptom-driven secondary PCI and asymptomatic secondary PCI. MACCE includes myocardial infarction, hospitalization for heart failure, stroke, major bleeding, all-cause death, and composite endpoints including these events.Results:A total of 2 181 patients were enrolled, including 1 097 patients in the traditional follow-up group and 1 084 patients in the "four-staff co-management" follow-up group. At baseline, there were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, discharge diagnosis, co-existing diseases, echocardiographic indexes, and coronary artery lesions between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in total PCI stent length, maximum internal diameter of stent, proportion of patients using drug balloon, proportion of patients with a planned second surgery during hospitalization, and discharge with drugs (all P>0.05). Twelve months after PCI, the reduction in HbA1c and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was greater in the "four-staff co-management " follow-up group than that in the traditional follow-up group (all P<0.05), and the rate of reaching the standard for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was higher than that in the traditional follow-up group ( P=0.001), but there was no statistical significance between the two groups for blood pressure and blood glucose (all P>0.05). During the follow-up period, the proportion of symptom-driven second operation patients was lower in the "four-staff co-management" follow-up group than that in the traditional follow-up group ( P<0.001), and there was no significant difference in the proportion of asymptomatic second operation patients between the two groups ( P=0.191). The proportion of hospitalized patients with heart failure in the "four-staff co-management" follow-up group was lower than that in the traditional follow-up group ( P=0.029), and there was no significant difference in the proportion of myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, massive hemorrhage, death and complex endpoint events between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The "four-staff co-management" follow-up mode can effectively improve the control of risk factors and medium-term prognosis in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI.

Brain decoding based on functional magnetic resonance imaging has recently enabled the identification of visual perception and mental states. However, due to the limitations of sample size and the lack of an effective reconstruction model, accurate reconstruction of natural images is still a major challenge. The current, rapid development of deep learning models provides the possibility of overcoming these obstacles. Here, we propose a deep learning-based framework that includes a latent feature extractor, a latent feature decoder, and a natural image generator, to achieve the accurate reconstruction of natural images from brain activity. The latent feature extractor is used to extract the latent features of natural images. The latent feature decoder predicts the latent features of natural images based on the response signals from the higher visual cortex. The natural image generator is applied to generate reconstructed images from the predicted latent features of natural images and the response signals from the visual cortex. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations were conducted with test images. The results showed that the reconstructed image achieved comparable, accurate reproduction of the presented image in both high-level semantic category information and low-level pixel information. The framework we propose shows promise for decoding the brain activity.

Objective: To evaluate the dosimetric difference between carbon ion radiotherapy and photon radiotherapy for treating tumors at lacrimal system. Methods: Using the CT images of 10 patients with tumors at lacrimal system, the carbon ion plan, the photon volume intensity modulation plan (VMAT) and the fixed wild photon intensity modulation radiotherapy (IMRT) plan were generated. The prescription was 54 Gy(RBE) in 18 fractions for clinical target volume (CTV) and 63 Gy(RBE) in 18 fractions for CTV-boost. Dosimetric differences of organ at risks were compared based on the same planning target volumes (PTVs) with similar dose coverages. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the PTV coverage among three plans (P>0.05). Compared to VMAT and IMRT plans, carbon ion plans reduced the mean doses of eyeballs, mean doses and near-maximum doses of optical nerves of both ipsilateral ( t=7.35, 3.79, 4.66, 8.48, 2.52, 2.76, P<0.05) and contralateral eyes (t=3.87, 10.49, 9.16, 4.43, 6.53, 5.12, P<0.05), while the mean dose of brain was decreased from(5.65±3.58) and (5.76±2.09)Gy(RBE) to (0.81±0.90)Gy(RBE) (t=6.76, 17.33, P<0.05). Conclusions Compared to photon VMAT or IMRT, carbon ion could reduce the doses to optical critical organs around tumors. Thus, carbon ion radiotherapy has potential to reduce patients′ radiation related side-effects.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of infectious occupational exposure among medical staff in newly-built hospitals, find out the high risk points of occupational exposure, and formulate occupational safety protection measures accordingly. Methods A retrospective survey in Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital during January 2015 to October 2017 was carried out on occupation exposure, including gender, age, working years, occupation,exposure time, exposure sites, exposed sites and links, exposure to the source of infection and other aspects of the data, using SPSS 16.0 statistical analysis. Results There were 59 infectious occupational exposures. Among 59 infectious occupational exposures, 52 cases (88.1%) were sharp instrument injuries, 7 cases (11.9%) were blood and body fluid exposure. Occupational exposure occurred mainly in nurses (45 cases, 76.3%), followed by doctors (11 cases, 18.6%). The median age was 26 years, and the median length of work was 2 years. The location of exposure was mainly ward (26 cases, 44.1%), followed by operation room (17 cases, 28.8%). The location of sharp instrument injuries was mainly finger (44 cases, 84.6%). Sharps were mainly needles (38 cases, 73.1%), and the proportion of sharp instruments was 80.4%. The main causes of exposure were themselves (41 cases, 77.5%). Hepatitis B was the main pathogen of exposure (27 cases, 45.8%). No nosocomial infection was not found at follow-up. Conclusions New hospitals should establish a perfect occupational exposure management system, control the high-risk points, strengthen the occupational safety protection training, standardize the operation, and reduce the incidence of infection.
