Objective To investigate the effect of β-arrestin1(ARRB1)on cell proliferation,migration and invasion in oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC).Methods Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,the expression profiles of ARRB1 in OSCC were analyzed,and then Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA)was used to suggest the possible signaling pathways involved,and to explore its potential impact on the prognosis of OSCC patients.Immuinohistochemistry(IHC)was performed to detect the expression of ARRB1 in OSCC tumor tissues and adjacent tissues,and the correlation between ARRB1 expression and clinicopathological features was statistically analyzed.The expression profiles of ARRB1 in SCC-15,CAL-27 and HOK cell lines were verified by qPCR and Western blotting.The ARRB1 overexpression plasmid model was constructed,and its effects on the proliferation,migration and invasion of OSCC cells were analyzed by clone formation,EdU,scratch and Transwell assays.Results TCGA showed that the expression level of ARRB1 was significantly lower in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSC)and OSCC tissues than the corresponding normal tissues(P<0.01).The expression of ARRB1 in OSCC tissues was correlated with tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis and TNM stage(P<0.05).The OSCC patients with high expression of ARRB1 had a lower survival rate than those with low expression(P<0.01),which was consistent with the results of bioinformatics analysis.The expression level of ARRB1 in SCC-15 and CAL-27 cells was lower than that of HOK cells(P<0.01),and its overexpression significantly inhibited cell proliferation(P<0.05),migration(P<0.01)and invasion(P<0.01).Conclusion ARRB1 is lowly expressed in OSCC,its overexpression inhibits the proliferation,migration and invasion of OSCC cells,and it is related to prognosis improvement.

Extensive epigenetic reprogramming involves in memory CD8+ T-cell differentiation. The elaborate epigenetic rewiring underlying the heterogeneous functional states of CD8+ T cells remains hidden. Here, we profile single-cell chromatin accessibility and map enhancer-promoter interactomes to characterize the differentiation trajectory of memory CD8+ T cells. We reveal that under distinct epigenetic regulations, the early activated CD8+ T cells divergently originated for short-lived effector and memory precursor effector cells. We also uncover a defined epigenetic rewiring leading to the conversion from effector memory to central memory cells during memory formation. Additionally, we illustrate chromatin regulatory mechanisms underlying long-lasting versus transient transcription regulation during memory differentiation. Finally, we confirm the essential roles of Sox4 and Nrf2 in developing memory precursor effector and effector memory cells, respectively, and validate cell state-specific enhancers in regulating Il7r using CRISPR-Cas9. Our data pave the way for understanding the mechanism underlying epigenetic memory formation in CD8+ T-cell differentiation.

Objective:To explore the effect of prognosis appearance of the combination of microneedle array radiofrequency and CO2 array laser on psychological stress response of patients with facial acne scar.Methods:A total of 100 patients with facial acne scar,who admitted to Chengdu Second People's Hospital from August 2020 to August 2020,were selected,and they were divided into study group and control group,with 50 cases in each group.Study group adopted combined treatment with microneedle array radiofrequency and CO2 array laser,and control group adopted microneedle array radiofrequency to conduct treatment.The curative effect after treatment was compared between two groups.The Vancouver scar scale(VSS)was adopted to score the scar condition of patients,and Hamilton anxiety(HAMA)rating scale,Hamilton depression(HAMD)of rating scale and self-esteem scale(SES)were adopted to evaluate the psychological stress response of patients,and the score of the comprehensive evaluation questionnaire of quality of life(GQOLI-74 score)was adopted to evaluate the difference of quality of life of patients between before and after treatment.Results:After treatment,the overall curative effect of study group was 92.00%,which was better than 72.00%of control group,and the difference was significant(x2=6.775,P<0.05).The VSS scores of study group after received treatment of 2,4 times were significantly lower than those before treatment,and were lower than those of control group,and the differences of those between two groups were significant(t=5.850,9.040,P<0.05),respectively.After treatment,the SES scores of two groups all rose,and the HAMD and HAMA scores of two groups all reduced,and the three scores of study group were all better than those of control group,and the differences of them between two groups were significant(t=3.456,3.909,6.063,P<0.05).Pearson correlation showed that the VSS score was negatively correlated with the SES score(r=-0.249,P<0.05),and was positively correlated with the HAMD score and the HAMA score(r=0.653,0.695,P<0.05),respectively.After treatment,the GQOLI-74 scores of each indicator(material and life,physical function,psychological function,and social function)of two groups rose all,and the GQOLI-74 scores of study group were all better than those of control group,and the differences of them between two groups were significant(t=4.324,7.497,3.870,4.534,P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion:The combination of microneedle array radiofrequency and CO2 array laser has better curative effect in treating facial acne scar,which can effectively promote prognosis appearance,and relieve psychological stress response,and improve the quality of life.

Ulcerative colitis(UC)is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by continuous inflammation and ulcer formation in the intestinal mucosa.Its pathogenesis involves immune dysfunction,dysbio-sis of gut microbiota,and mucosal damage caused by inflammation.Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death regulated by disturbances in iron metabolism,lipid peroxidation,and depletion of glutathione(GSH).Studies have indicated that ferroptosis plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of UC,particularly in regulating in-flammatory responses and damaging intestinal epithelial cells.This article reviews the regulatory mechanisms and roles of ferroptosis in UC and discusses the potential therapeutic strategies to alleviate UC symptoms by modulating iron metabolism,reducing lipid peroxidation,and maintaining GSH levels,providing new targets and directions for the diagnosis and treatment of UC.

Parkinson′s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in middle-aged and elderly people. In addition to motor symptoms, PD also has many non motor symptoms, such as dysosmia, constipation, cognitive impairment, etc. Among them, dysosmia is a common non motor symptom of early Parkinson′s disease. Research has confirmed that olfactory dysfunction (OD) can appear before the typical clinical symptoms of PD, which is of great significance to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, at present, the pathogenesis of OD is still unclear, and the inspection methods have not been unified, and there is no complete cure. This article reviews the latest research progress of dysosmia in Parkinson′s disease.

To explore predictive value of fragmented QRS wave (fQRS) for prognosis in patients with a‐cute no ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).Methods : According to ECG measure result , 120 NSTEMI patients treated in our hospital from Jan 2015 to Feb 2017 were divided into fQRS group (n=73) and no fQRS group (n=47).Both groups received same treatment .General information and incidence of MACE during one‐year fol‐low‐up were compared between two groups .Results : There were no significant difference in heart rate ,percentage of dyslipidemia ,hypertension and diabetes mellitus between two groups ( P> 0. 05 all).Compared with no fQRS group ,there were significant reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction [(63. 81 ± 5.67)% vs.(52. 18 ± 5. 81)%, P=0. 001] , and significant rise in percentage of previous myocardial infarction (21.28% vs.39. 73%, P=0.035) and more than three coronary stenosis greater than or equal to 50%(36.17% vs.54.79%, P= 0.046) in fQRS group .Compared with no fQRS group ,incidence of MACE of fQRS group was higher (25. 53% vs.45.21%, P=0.030).Conclusion :Cardiac function of NSTEMI patients with fQRS is significantly poorer than that of patients without fQRS ,so patients with fQRS predicts their state of an illness is serious and prognosis is poor .
