OBJECTIVE: To establish venetoclax-resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines, assess the sensitivity of venetoclax-resistant cell lines to the BCL-2 protein family, and investigate their resistance mechanisms. METHODS: CCK-8 method was used to screen AML cell lines (MV4-11, MOLM13, OCI-AML2) that were relatively sensitive to venetoclax. Low concentrations of venetoclax continuously induced drug-resistance development in the cell lines. Changes in cell viability and apoptosis rate before and after resistance development were measured using the CCK-8 method and flow cytometry. BH3 profiling assay was performed to anayze the transform of mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis pathway as well as the sensitivity of resistant cell lines to BCL-2 family proteins and small molecule inhibitors. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was utilized to examine changes in the expression levels of BCL-2 protein family members in both venetoclax-resistant cell lines and multidrug-resistant patients. RESULTS: Venetoclax-resistant cell lines of MV4-11, MOLM13, and OCI-AML2 were successfully established, with IC₅₀ values exceeding 10-fold. Under the same concentration of venetoclax, the apoptosis rate of resistant cells decreased significantly (P < 0.05). BH3 profiling assay revealed that the drug-resistant cell lines showed increased sensitivity to many pro-apoptotic proteins (such as BIM,BID and NOXA). RT-qPCR showed significantly upregulated MCL1 and downregulated NOXA1 were detected in drug-resistant cell lines. Expression changes in MCL1 and NOXA1 in venetoclax-resistant patients were consistent with our established drug-resistant cell line results. CONCLUSION The venetoclax-resistant AML cell lines were successfully established through continuous induction with low concentrations of venetoclax. The venetoclax resistance resulted in alterations in the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway of the cells and an increased sensitivity of cells to pro-apoptotic proteins BIM, BID, and NOXA, which may be associated with the upregulation of MCL1 expression and downregulation of NOXA1 expression in the drug-resistant cells.

Sebaceous glands are vital appendages of the skin,primarily functioning in the secretion of a variety of lipid substances.These lipid substances play crucial physiological roles in the body,such as participating in body temperature regulation,maintaining skin homeostasis,and modulating the immune system.Abnormalities in the function of sebaceous glands can lead to a range of skin disorders,with acne being the most common one.Acne arises from the overproduction of sebum by sebaceous gland,leading to hair follicle blockage,bacterial infection,and inflammation response.Additionally,sebaceous gland carcinoma is a rare but severe malignant tumor of the skin,and its exact mechanisms are not fully understood.Organoids are closely resemble in vivo counterparts in terms of cell types,spatial structure,and function.Sebaceous gland organoids serve as an ideal platform for studying sebaceous glands and their associated diseases.This review summarizes the structure,function,homeostasis of sebaceous glands,as well as the construction and applications of sebaceous gland organoids,aiming to provide reference for research on the pathogenesis and treatment of sebaceous gland related diseases.

Objective:To screen interleukin(IL)-1β secretion-related membrane transporters by macrophage experiment in vitro and conventional knockout mice.Methods:THP-1 cell line was differentiated to obtain human THP-1-derived macrophages,and the primary macrophages were obtained from human peripheral blood.FVB wild-type mice with the same sex and age were used as the controls of MRP1 knockout mice.The macrophages in abdominal cavity and bone marrow of mice were cultivated.The cells were treated with ABCC1/MRP1,ABCG2/BCRP,ABCB1/P-gp,OATP1B1,and MATE transporter inhibitors,then stimulated by lipopolysaccharide and adenosine triphosphate.The secretion level of IL-iβ was detected by ELISA,Western blot,and immunofluorescence.Results:After inhibiting ABCC1/MRP1 transporter,the secretion of IL-1β decreased significantly,while inhibition of the other 4 transporters had no effect.In animal experiment,the level of IL-1 β secreted by macrophages in bone marrow of MRP1 knockout mice was significantly lower than control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:ABCC1/MRP1 transporter is a newly discovered IL-1β secretion pathway,which is expected to become a new target for solving clinical problems such as cytokine release syndrome.

Objective To explore the efficacy of vaginal lesion resection combined with uterine wall repair in the treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy(CSP)after cesarean section.Methods A total of 122 patients with CSP admitted to our hospital were selected and randomly divided into the control group(61 cases)and the observation group(61 cases).Patients in the control group were treated with uterine artery chemoembolization(UACE)combined with ultrasound-guided curettage,while patients in the observation group were treated with vaginal lesion resection combined with uterine wall repair.The perioperative index,serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin(β-hCG)levels before surgery and 3 days,5 days,and 7 days after surgery,clinical efficacy,and complications of patients between the groups were compared.Results The operation time of patients in the observation group was significantly longer than that in the control group(P<0.05),and the amount of intraoperative blood loss,hospitalization cost,vaginal bleeding time,time to menstruation recovery,mass disappearance time,β-hCG normalizing time,and hospitalization time of patients in the observation group were significantly less/shorter than those in the control group(P<0.05).The serum β-hCG levels of patients 3 days,5 days and 7 days after surgery in both groups were lower compared with those before surgery,and the observation group was lower than the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The total effective rate in the observation group was 96.72%,significantly higher than that of 85.25%in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of vaginal bleeding and surrounding tissue injury in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of vaginal lesion resection and uterine wall repair for the treatment of CSP can reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss,reduce the serum β-hCG levels and the incidence of complications,improve clinical treatment efficacy,and promote recovery of patients.

Periarticular fracture of the shoulder is a common type of fractures in the elderly. Postoperative adverse events such as internal fixation failure, humeral head ischemic necrosis and upper limb dysfunction occur frequently, which seriously endangers the exercise and health of the elderly. Compared with the fracture with normal bone mass, the osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder is complicated with slow healing and poor rehabilitation, so the clinical management becomes more difficult. At present, there is no targeted guideline or consensus for this type of fracture in China. In such context, experts from Youth Osteoporosis Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatrics Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Osteoporosis Group of Youth Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Chinese Integrative Medicine developed the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder in the elderly ( version 2023). Nine recommendations were put forward from the aspects of diagnosis, treatment strategies and rehabilitation of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder, hoping to promote the standardized, systematic and personalized diagnosis and treatment concept and improve functional outcomes and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder.

Abstract: Objective To understand the mental health literacy level of residents in Hainan Province, and to provide evidence for promoting mental health promotion and improving the mental health literacy level of residents. Methods Multi-stage random sampling method was used to investigate The National Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire among 6 895 residents in 12 districts including Changjiang, Chengmai, Dongfang, Ledong, Lingshui, Haikou Longhua District, Haikou Meilan District, Qionghai, Sanya, Tunchang, Wenchang and Wuzhishan. Results　In the survey 6 895 residents in 12 counties, cities, districts of Hainan Province, 365 of them reached the standard of mental health with the standard rate of 5.3%. The mental health knowledge score was (54.00±17.02) with the standard rate of 7.7%; the self-assessment score was (26.11±3.99) with the standard rate of 75.9%; the score of mental health skill was (26.22±7.25) with the standard rate of 44.8%. The mental health literacy level of medical workers was the highest, with the standard rate of 13.5% (112/830), and the mental health literacy level of farmers was the lowest, with the standard rate of 0.8% (13/1 647). The results of unconditional Logistic regression showed that the factors entering the regression model included educational background (OR=2.268), personal monthly income (OR=1.129), gender (OR=1.302), household registration (OR=0.776), and whether they had participated in mental health related courses OR training (OR=0.511). The higher the educational background and personal monthly income, the higher the psychological quality. The mental health of women was higher than that of men, and that of urban was higher than that of rural, and those who had participated in mental health related courses were higher than those who had not. Conclusions The mental health literacy level of Hainan residents is at a low level, and the influencing factors are multifaceted. It is suggested to strengthen the mental health monitoring comprehensively and carry out rich health education service mode for different groups.

Objective To investigate the levels of γδ T cells and their subpopulations in bone marrow(BM)of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS),it aims to explore the immune deficiency status of BM microenvi-ronment in MDS patients.Methods BM samples were collected from MDS patients before and after treatment,as well as from normal donors.Multicolor flow cytometry was utilized to detect bone marrow γδ T cells and subpopulation levels.The changes of the T cell subsets after treatment were also analyzed.Results The levels of BM γδ T cells and follicular helper γδ T cells from MDS patients were significantly lower than those of normal donors(P<0.05).Among γδ T cells at different stages of differentiation,only the frequencies of na?ve γδ T cells from MDS patients decreased significantly(P = 0.037),and there was no significant difference observed about central memory,effector memory,and terminally differentiated γδ T cells in MDS patients compared to normal donors(P>0.05).Although there was a slight decrease in PD1+γδ T cells and an increase in TIM3+γδ T cells,these differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05).In patients who achieved a curative effect,the proportions of γδ T cells and naive γδ T cells increased significantly after treatment,and the effector memory γδ T cells decreased significantly after treatment(P<0.05).After treatment,85.71%(6/7)of MDS patients showed a decrease in γδ+TIM3+ T cell levels to varying degrees.Conclusions The levels of γδ T cells and their subpopulations in the BM microenvironment of patients with MDS exhibit varying degrees of abnormalities.However,in patients who receive effective treatment,these abnormal γδ T cells can recover.By detecting the levels of γδ T cells and subpopulations,we can gain insights into the immune deficiency status of MDS.This information might serve as an indicator to assess treatment efficacy and provide valuable insights for anti-tumor immunotherapy.

In this study, chronic emotional stress-induced H1N1 influenza susceptibility model was employed to simulate the states of "emotional stagnation" and "liver fire invading lung", and the protective effect of Qinggan Xiefei Fang on viral pneumonia was investigated. Survival rate and morbidity rate of mice were observed within 21 days after H1N1 infection, the symptoms of viral pneumonia and the level of phospholipid peroxidation were detected in lungs of mice after 6-day infection. The experimental results showed that Qinggan Xiefei Fang could alleviate the decline of survival rate and morbidity rate of mice caused by chronic constraint stress loaded with H1N1, inhibit the replication of H1N1 and the production of inflammatory factors, reduce the level of phospholipid peroxidation, and improve the symptoms of pneumonia in mice. The results also showed that compound-target network of Qinggan Xiefei Fang contained 171 compounds and 260 corresponding targets involved in the signaling pathway of oxidative stress, inflammation and immunity. All the above results indicate that Qinggan Xiefei Fang protecting influenza virus pneumonia was related to the regulation of oxidative stress. The animal experimental protocol has been reviewed and approved by Laboratory Animal Ethics Committee of Jinan University, in compliance with the Institutional Animal Care Guidelines.
