Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by impaired motility of cilia and flagella. Mutations in cilia- and flagella-associated protein 300 ( CFAP300 ) are associated with human PCD and male infertility; however, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain poorly understood. In a consanguineous Chinese family, we identified a homozygous CFAP300 loss-of-function variant (c.304delC) in a proband presenting with classical PCD symptoms and severe sperm abnormalities, including dynein arm deficiency and acrosomal malformation, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Histological analysis revealed multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella in CFAP300 -mutant individual, whereas immunofluorescence demonstrated markedly reduced CFAP300 expression in the spermatozoa of the proband. Furthermore, tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics showed that the CFAP300 mutation reduced key spermatogenesis proteins (e.g., sperm flagellar 2 [SPEF2], solute carrier family 25 member 31 [SLC25A31], and A-kinase anchoring protein 3 [AKAP3]) and mitochondrial ATP synthesis factors (e.g., SLC25A31, cation channel sperm-associated 3 [CATSPER3]). It also triggered abnormal increases in autophagy-related proteins and signaling mediator phosphorylation. These molecular alterations are likely to contribute to progressive deterioration of sperm ultrastructure and function. Notably, successful pregnancy was achieved via intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using the proband's sperm. Overall, this study expands the known CFAP300 mutational spectrum and offers novel mechanistic insights into its role in spermatogenesis.

AIM:Using bioinformatics analysis and experiment validation to explore the differential expres-sion genes related to abnormal lipid metabolism in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and the molecular mechanism of pachymaran affecting pyroptosis through squalene epoxidase(SQLE)/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like re-ceptor protein 3(NLRP3)/gasdermin D(GSDMD)signaling pathway.METHODS:(1)The GEO,GSEA,DAVID,STRING and GEPIA databases were employed to screen abnormal lipid metabolism-related differentially expressed genes in HCC.(2)The tumor tissues from HCC patients(n=9)were collected to verify the differential expression of SQLE.(3)The inhibitory effect of pachymaran on the viability of human HCC cell line HepG2 was measured by CCK-8 assay.(4)The HepG2 cells were divided into control group and pachymaran(800 mg/L)group.The cell migration was analyzed by wound-healing assay,and RT-qPCR was used to measure SQLE mRNA expression.(5)The HepG2 cells with overexpres-sion of SQLE(OE-SQLE)were divided into 5 groups as follows:control group,overexpression negative control(OE-NC)group,OE-SQLE group,OE-NC+pachymaran group,and OE-SQLE+pachymaran group.The mRNA and protein expres-sion levels of SQLE and pyroptosis-related factors were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Colorimetric method and ELISA were used to measure lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and IL-18 levels.The necrosis of HepG2 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.RESULTS:The SQLE gene was screened through bioinformatics analysis,and its mRNA expression was significantly increased in tumor tissues from HCC patients(P＜0.01).In cell experiments,treatment with 800 mg/L pachymaran for 48 h had a significant inhibitory effect on HepG2 cell viability,and the expres-sion of SQLE mRNA was reduced(P＜0.01).After overexpression of SQLE,the mRNA and protein levels of pyroptosis-re-lated factors,necrotic rate,and LDH,IL-1β and IL-18 levels were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).After treatment with pachymaran,the above indicators were significantly increased(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:The SQLE is abnormal-ly highly expressed in HCC,and pachymaran can affect the growth of HCC cells by activating the NLRP3/GSDMD pyropto-sis pathway through SQLE.

Objective:To explore the protective effect of labor analgesia on pelvic floor muscle function of primipara after vaginal delivery.Methods:A total of 140 cases of primipara with vaginal delivery admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from March to August 2022 were selected retrospectively, and they were divided into control group (routine delivery) and observation group (painless delivery) according to the intention of delivery, each group with 70 cases. Labor pain, pelvic floor muscle function score and pelvic floor muscle status at 6 weeks postpartum, Female Sexual Function Scale (FSFI) score at 3 months postpartum and reported postpartum symptoms were compared between the two groups.Results:The scores of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at immediately after gastric antral empting, after drinking carbohydrates (5, 30, 60, 120 min) and at full opening of uterine orifice in the observation group were lower than those in control group, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). At 6 weeks postpartum, the maximum muscle voltage of pelvic floor muscle and the average muscle voltage of continuous contraction of pelvic floor muscle for 60 s in the observation group were higher than those in control group: (20.97 ± 2.64) μV vs. (17.31 ± 2.48) μV, (17.33 ± 3.01) μV vs. (13.42 ± 2.77) μV; the mobility of bladder neck and the hiatus area of levator anal muscle in resting state in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (27.15 ± 3.55) mm vs. (31.05 ± 4.75) mm, (9.97 ± 2.12)cm 2 vs. (11.57 ± 2.84) cm 2, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). At 6 weeks postpartum, the scores of static pre-stage, static post-stage, type Ⅰ muscle fiber, type Ⅱ muscle fiber and total scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: (67.21 ± 12.54) scores vs. (54.17 ± 10.84) scores, (69.12 ± 14.11) scores vs. (56.47 ± 11.24) scores, (63.54 ± 11.45) scores vs. (50.97 ± 10.74) scores, (57.15 ± 8.15) scores vs. (49.76 ± 6.44) scores, (64.25 ± 12.14) scores vs. (57.84 ± 20.57) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). At 6 weeks postpartum, the scores of FSFI in the observation group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The rate of urine leakage, fever and mattress sweat reported in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: 22.86%(16/70) vs. 40.00%(28/70), 15.71%(11/70) vs. 30.00%(21/70), 30.00%(21/70) vs. 47.14%(33/70), there were statistical differences ( χ2 = 4.77, 4.05, 4.34, P<0.05). Conclusions:Labor analgesia can effectively shorten labor process, relieve labor pain and protect pelvic floor muscle function during vaginal labor in primipara.

AIM: To observe the visual improvement and anatomical closure of patients with full-thickness macular hole(FTMH)accompanied by lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation(LHEP)after vitrectomy.METHODS: A retrospective study of clinical cases. A total of 28 cases(28 eyes)of patients diagnosed with FTMH in our hospital between January 2018 and January 2022 were included, and they were divided into 12 cases(12 eyes)in the LHEP group and 16 cases(16 eyes)in the non-LHEP group according to the presence or absence of LHEP. All subjects had undergone vitrectomy. The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)before and 1a after operation, hole closure, continuity of ellipsoid zone and external limiting membrane(ELM), intraocular pressure(IOP), and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: Preoperative BCVA(LogMAR)was 0.80±0.17 in the LHEP group and 0.92±0.27 in the non-LHEP group(t=1.406, P=0.172); BCVA at 1a after operation was 0.54±0.14 in the LHEP group and 0.39±0.10 in the non-LHEP group(t=3.399, P=0.002). BCVA at 1a after operation was significantly improved in both groups compared with that before operation(tLHEP group=4.029; PLHEP group=0.001; tnon-LHEP group=7.445, Pnon-LHEP group=0.001); the difference in BCVA(LogMAR)before and after the operation was 0.27±0.16 in the LHEP group and 0.52±0.26 in the non-LHEP group(t=3.153, P=0.002). The hole closed in both groups 1a after the operation, and the closure rate was 100%. The ellipsoid zone closed in 20%(2/12)of patients in the LHEP group and 56%(9/16)in the non-LHEP group(Pellipsoid zone=0.04); the ELM closed in 25%(3/12)of patients in the LHEP group and 69%(11/16)in the non-LHEP group(PELM=0.027). A postoperative transient IOP elevation occurred in 2 eyes of the LHEP group and 3 eyes of the non-LHEP group, respectively. There were no significant cataract or serious complications after the vitrectomy in either group.CONCLUSIONS: Compared with FTMH patients without LHEP, the BCVA improvement after vitrectomy was less in FTMH patients with LHEP. Although their macular hole was closed, the closure rates of ellipsoid zone and ELM were lower, and the duration of continuity interruption was longer, so the prognosis requires further clarification.

OBJECTIVE: To explore whether casticin (CAS) suppresses stemness in cancer stem-like cells (CSLCs) obtained from human cervical cancer (CCSLCs) and the underlying mechanism. METHODS: Spheres from HeLa and CaSki cells were used as CCSLCs. DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) activity and mRNA levels, self-renewal capability (Nanog and Sox2), and cancer stem cell markers (CD133 and CD44), were detected by a colorimetric DNMT activity/inhibition assay kit, quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, sphere and colony formation assays, and immunoblot, respectively. Knockdown and overexpression of DNMT1 by transfection with shRNA and cDNA, respectively, were performed to explore the mechanism for action of CAS (0, 10, 30, and 100 nmol/L). RESULTS: DNMT1 activity was increased in CCSLCs compared with HeLa and CaSki cells (P<0.05). In addition, HeLa-derived CCSLCs transfected with DNMT1 shRNA showed reduced sphere and colony formation abilities, and lower CD133, CD44, Nanog and Sox2 protein expressions (P<0.05). Conversely, overexpression of DNMT1 in HeLa cells exhibited the oppositive effects. Furthermore, CAS significantly reduced DNMT1 activity and transcription levels as well as stemness in HeLa-derived CCSLCs (P<0.05). Interestingly, DNMT1 knockdown enhanced the inhibitory effect of CAS on stemness. As expected, DNMT1 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effect of CAS on stemness in HeLa cells. CONCLUSION CAS effectively inhibits stemness in CCSLCs through suppression of DNMT1 activation, suggesting that CAS acts as a promising preventive and therapeutic candidate in cervical cancer.

Objective: To investigate the association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preterm birth subtypes. Methods: Based on the cohort of pregnant women in Anqing Prefectural Hospital, the pregnant women who received prenatal screening in the first or second trimesters were recruited into baseline cohorts; and followed up for them was conducted until delivery, and the information about their pregnancy status and outcomes were obtained through electronic medical record system and questionnaire surveys. The log-binomial regression model was used to explore the association between GDM and preterm birth [iatrogenic preterm birth, spontaneous preterm birth (preterm premature rupture of membranes and preterm labor)]. For multiple confounding factors, the propensity score correction model was used to compute the adjusted association. Results: Among the 2 031 pregnant women with a singleton delivery, the incidence of GDM and preterm birth were 10.0% (204 cases) and 4.4% (90 cases) respectively. The proportions of iatrogenic preterm birth and spontaneous preterm birth in the GDM group (n=204) were 1.5% and 5.9% respectively, while the proportions in non-GDM group (n=1 827) were 0.9% and 3.2% respectively, and the difference in the proportion of spontaneous preterm birth between the two groups was significant (P=0.048). Subtypes of spontaneous preterm were further analyzed, and the results showed that the proportions of preterm premature rupture of membranes and preterm labor in the GDM group were 4.9% and 1.0% respectively, while the proportions in the non-GDM group were 2.1% and 1.1% respectively. It showed that the risk of preterm premature rupture of membranes in GDM pregnant women was 2.34 times (aRR=2.34, 95%CI: 1.16-4.69) higher than that in non-GDM pregnant women. Conclusions: Our results showed that GDM might increase the risk of preterm premature rupture of membranes. No significant increase in the proportion of preterm labor in pregnant women with GDM was found.
