With technological advancement and the growing demand for renewable energy, research and applications of new energy materials are becoming increasingly widespread. Typical new energy materials include lithium-ion battery materials, nanomaterials, nuclear energy materials and magnetic materials, etc., each of which has special toxicological characteristics. These materials may pose potential toxicological risks in the process of resource exploitation, production, transportation, usage, recycling or disposal, which have negatively impact on human health and the ecological environment. Occupational exposure is the main route of energy materials exposure, with potential health hazards on workers during the processes of production, transportation, recycling, and disposal. Among them, the disassembled batteries in the recycling or waste disposal process requires quality control, which is the high-risk position of occupational hazards. At present, the toxicology study of typical new energy materials mainly focuses on the potential impact of lithium-ion battery materials and nanomaterials on human health and the environment, but there are still limitations and challenges. In the future, it is necessary to further strengthen the human health risk management and prevention and control of new energy materials to protect human health and sustainable development.

Resistance to poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) presents a considerable obstacle in the treatment of ovarian cancer. F-box and tryptophan-aspartic (WD) repeat domain containing 11 (FBXW11) modulates the ubiquitination of growth-and invasion-related factors in lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and osteosarcoma. The function of FBXW11 in PARPi therapy is still ambiguous. In this study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) showed that FBXW11 expression was raised in ovarian cancer cells that had been treated with PARPi. FBXW11 was abnormally expressed at low levels in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) tissues, and low levels of FBXW11 were associated with shorter overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in HGSOC patients. Overexpressing FBXW11 made ovarian cancer more sensitive to PARPi, while knocking down FBXW11 made it less sensitive. The four-dimensional (4D) label-free quantitative proteomic analysis revealed that FBXW11 targeted S100 calcium binding protein A11 (S100A11) and promoted its degradation through ubiquitination. The increased degradation of S100A11 led to less efficient DNA damage repair, which in turn contributed to increased PARPi-induced DNA damage. The role of FBXW11 in promoting PARPi sensitivity was also confirmed in xenograft mouse models. In summary, our study confirms that FBXW11 promotes the susceptibility of ovarian cancer cells to PARPi via affecting S100A11-mediated DNA damage repair.

Objective To summarize the liver biopsy and clinical features of patients with liver injury of unknown origin,and to investigate the value of ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy in the diagnosis of liver injury of unknown origin.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data and ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy results of 94 patients with liver injury of unknown origin who were admitted to Zhongshan Hospital,Xiamen University,from January 2018 to February 2023.According to the proportion of the patients with different final diagnoses,the patients were divided into autoimmune liver disease(AILD)group,metabolic associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)group,drug-induced liver injury(DILI)group,alcoholic liver disease(ALD)group,and unknown group.An analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups,and the Bonferroni analysis or the Dunnett'T3 test was used for further comparison between two groups;the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups;the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between multiple groups.Results All 94 patients with liver injury of unknown origin underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy after admission,among whom 90 patients(95.7%)had a confirmed diagnosis based on liver biopsy and clinical features.There were 43 patients(45.7%)with AILD,21(22.3%)with MAFLD,15(16.0%)with DILI,6(6.4%)with ALD,1(1.1%)with AILD and MAFLD,1(1.1%)with hemochromatosis,1(1.1%)with Budd-Chiari syndrome,1(1.1%)with congenital hepatic fibrosis,and 1(1.1%)with idiopathic portal hypertension,while 4 patients(4.3%)still had an unknown etiology after liver biopsy.There were significant differences between the patients with top five diagnoses in age(F=4.457,P<0.05),body mass index(BMI)(F=3.245,P<0.05),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)(H=11.128,P<0.05),gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT)(H=24.789,P<0.05),alkaline phosphatase(ALP)(H=26.013,P<0.05),IgG(H=19.099,P<0.05),IgM(H=21.263,P<0.05),AMA-M2 positive rate(P<0.05),and ANA positive rate(P<0.05).Compared with the MAFLD group,the AILD group had significantly higher age,AST,GGT,and ALP and a significantly lower BMI;compared with the MAFLD group and the DILI group,the AILD group had significant increases in IgG and IgM;the AILD group had significant increases in the positive rates of AMA-M2 and ANA compared with the other four groups.Conclusion AILD,MAFLD,and DILI are the most common causes in patients with liver injury of unknown origin.Ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy plays an important role in determining the cause of liver injury of unknown origin,but it is still needed to make a comprehensive analysis based on clinical history,different types of liver injury,laboratory markers,and imaging data.

Objective:To explore the impact of adverse childhood experience on self-injury behavior and the mediating role of self hating in adolescents.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 6 high schools and 5 middle schools in Shandong Province from August 1 to December 31, 2022, using the adverse childhood experience questionnaire, self-hating scale and non-suicidal self-injury behavior rating questionnaire for adolescents. A total of 7 313 questionnaires were collected, of which 6 948 were valid. SPSS 22.0 software was used for Spearman correlation analysis, and biased-corrected non-parametric percentile Bootstrap method was used to test the significance of mediating effect.Results:(1) The scores of adverse childhood experience(4.0(2.0, 6.0)), self-hating (22.0 (13.0, 29.0)) and self-injury behavior (12.0 (7.0, 19.0)) in adolescents with self-injury behavior were higher than those without self-injury behavior(0(0, 2.0), 2.0(0, 9.0), 0(0, 1.0)), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-21.700, -22.654, -29.519, all P<0.001). (2) Adverse childhood experience was positively correlated with self-hating ( r=0.46, P<0.01) and self-injury behavior ( r=0.47, P<0.01). Self-hating was positively correlated with self-injury behavior ( r=0.51, P<0.01). (3) Adverse childhood experience directly predicted self-injury behavior with a direct effect of 0.163 (95% CI =0.127-0.200, P<0.01)and the effect size of 53.80%(0.163/0.303).Adverse childhood experiences indirectly predicted self-injury behavior through self-hating, with an indirect effect of 0.140 (95% CI=0.122-0.160, P<0.001) and the effect size of 46.20%(0.140/0.303).The total effect was 0.303 (95% CI=0.270-0.336, P<0.001). Conclusions:There is a close relationship between adverse childhood experiences, self-hating and self-injury behavior in adolescents. Adverse childhood experiences can directly predict self-injury behavior, and can also indirectly affect self-injury behavior through self-hating.

Objective:To compare the safety of radial artery puncture in elderly patients aged 75 years and older who are undergoing neurointerventional procedures.Methods:A single-center retrospective study was conducted, involving 350 elderly patients aged 75 years and older who received neurointerventional treatment at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, from June to December 2022.The participants were divided into two groups based on the puncture site: femoral artery puncture and radial artery puncture.The safety indicators compared between the two groups included puncture failure, changes in puncture site, general puncture complications(such as subcutaneous bleeding, puncture site hematoma, and vasospasm), severe puncture complications(including distal limb ischemia and pseudoaneurysm), and lower limb venous thrombosis.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of different puncture methods on the occurrence of complications.Results:Among the 350 patients, 280 underwent femoral artery puncture, while 70 underwent radial artery puncture.There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups(all P>0.05).The proportions of patients using antiplatelet drugs prior to surgery, puncture failure rates, rates of change in puncture sites, and the incidence of severe complications-including distal limb ischemia and pseudoaneurysm-were not significantly different between the two groups( χ2=2.051, 0.075, 0.588, 3.175; P=0.152, 0.784, 0.443, 0.075).In the femoral artery puncture group, 20.4%(57 cases)of patients experienced general puncture complications(including subcutaneous bleeding, puncture site hematoma, and vasospasm), whereas only 8.6%(6 cases)in the radial artery puncture group experienced such complications, revealing a statistically significant difference between the two groups( χ2=5.720, P=0.022).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that, compared to femoral artery puncture, radial artery puncture was associated with a reduced risk of all complications( OR=0.272, 95% CI: 0.139-0.532, P<0.001), general puncture complications( OR=0.375, 95% CI: 0.153-0.919, P=0.032)and lower limb venous thrombosis( OR=0.219, 95% CI: 0.050-0.954, P=0.043). Conclusions:In elderly patients aged 75 years and older who are undergoing neurointerventional procedures, radial artery puncture is associated with a reduced incidence of general puncture complications and lower limb venous thrombosis when compared to femoral artery puncture, indicating a superior safety profile.

Objective:Osteopontin(OPN)has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in various stroke models.Its role in neuroinflammation after brain injury remains to be elucidated.This study aims to clarify the effect of OPN on neuroin-flammation,particularly on the functional states of microglia after subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH).Methods:Thirty rats were randomly divided into the following groups:Sham,SAH,and SAH+OPN.SAH rat model was prepared by secondary injection of autologous arterial blood,and OPN was given intranasally in the treatment group.Neurological function was evaluated by modified Garcia score.The degree of cerebral edema was evaluated by measuring brain water content.The expression of microglia activation markers CD86,inducable nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),CD206 and arginase 1(Arg-1)after SAH and OPN treatment was detected by RT-qPCR.The levels of IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10,and IL-13 in cerebrospinal fluid were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results:Intranasal ad-ministration of OPN could improve the neurological dysfunction and cerebral edema in SAH rats.What's more,OPN could inhibit the expression of CD86,iNOS,IL-1β,and IL-6 in cerebral while promote the expression of CD206,Arg-1,IL-10,and IL-13.Conclusion:OPN alleviates the inflammatory response after SAH by inhibiting the polarization of microglia M1.

BACKGROUND:Currently,there is a lack of large sample studies to analyze the bone metabolism level of patients with femoral head necrosis of different etiologies and stages,which is not conducive to the development of better necrosis-promoting repair strategies. OBJECTIVE:To study the bone metabolism of patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head with different etiologies and Association Research Circulation Osseous(ARCO)stages. METHODS:A retrospective study was performed on 401 patients diagnosed with osteonecrosis of the femoral head as the trial group,and 81 healthy subjects as the control group.The trial group could be divided into three groups according to different etiologies:steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head,alcoholic osteonecrosis of the femoral head and traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head,and were divided into stages Ⅱ/Ⅲ/Ⅳ according to different ARCO stages.Seven bone metabolism-related indicators of all subjects were collected,including bone metabolism-regulating hormone 25-hydroxyvitamin D and bone conversion markers:N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ procollagen,degradation product of type Ⅰ collagen,n-terminal middle molecular fragment of osteocalcin,general biochemical markers of bone metabolism:serum calcium,serum phosphorus,serum alkaline phosphatase.The bone metabolism levels of each group were compared and the independent factors associated with osteonecrosis of the femoral head were determined by binary Logistic regression analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group,levels of degradation product of type Ⅰ collagen,N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ procollagen,n-terminal middle molecular fragment of osteocalcin,serum phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase in the trial group were significantly increased(all P＜0.05).Based on the presence or absence of the disease,according to binary Logistic regression analysis,degradation product of type Ⅰ collagen,N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ procollagen,and n-terminal middle molecular fragment of osteocalcin were independent factors associated with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.The levels of degradation product of type Ⅰ collagen and N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ procollagen in three groups of patients with different etiologies were higher than normal reference values.The bone metabolism-regulating hormone 25-hydroxyvitamin D and serum calcium in the alcoholic osteonecrosis of the femoral head group were higher than those in the other two groups(P＜0.05).The level of bone metabolism-regulating hormone 25-hydroxyvitamin D in steroid-induced and traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head groups was lower than the normal value.There were no significant differences in seven bone metabolism-related indicators in patients with ARCO stages Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ osteonecrosis of the femoral head(all P＞0.05),but degradation product of type Ⅰ collagen and N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ procollagen in these three groups were higher than normal reference values.Bone metabolism-regulating hormone 25-hydroxyvitamin D in patients with ARCO stage Ⅱ and ARCO stage Ⅳ was lower than the normal reference value.It is concluded that the bone metabolism level of osteonecrosis of the femoral head patients was abnormal.The degradation product of type Ⅰ collagen and N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ procollagen of osteonecrosis of the femoral head patients with different etiologies and ARCO stages were all higher than the normal reference value,and they were in a state of high bone turnover.Degradation product of type Ⅰ collagen,N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ procollagen and n-terminal middle molecular fragment of osteocalcin may be risk factors for the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effectiveness of Piezocision combined with a microporous technique in accelerating periodontal tissue reconstruction during the anterior migration of mandibular molars in adults.Methods:A prospective, randomized, controlled study was conducted on 30 adult orthodontic patients recruited from Shaoxing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2020 and September 2022. The inclusion criteria were patients who were unable to retain their first molars due to severe caries or long-term absence and were not suitable for implantation. Using the random number table method, the patients were randomly assigned to two groups: a simple orthodontic control group (Group A, n = 15) and a group that received Piezocision combined with a microporous technique (Group B, n = 15). After treatment, a comparison was made between the two groups in terms of mesial movement distance of the mandibular second molar, plaque index, gingival index, periodontal pocket depth, width of keratinized gingiva, gingival recession, clinical attachment loss, mesial root resorption of the mandibular second molar, alveolar bone height (measured as the distance from the center of the lower incisor to the anterior margin of the chin, referred to as the LM-AC distance), mandibular bone height (measured by the distance from the distal or mesial surface of the root to the alveolar bone margin, denoted as the CEJ-AC distance), and orthodontic satisfaction. Results:The mesial movement distances of the mandibular second molar in Group A patients were (0.86 ± 0.13) mm, (2.75 ± 0.24) mm, (3.54 ± 0.24) mm, and (4.67 ± 0.13) mm at 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks, respectively. These values were significantly greater than those observed in Group B, which were (0.43 ± 0.06) mm, (1.27 ± 0.14) mm, (1.85 ± 0.53) mm, and (2.65 ± 0.06) mm ( t = 6.83, 14.13, 18.24, 23.78, all P < 0.001). Prior to treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in plaque index, gingival index, periodontal pocket depth, width of keratinized gingiva, gingival recession, or clinical attachment loss between the two groups (all P > 0.05). After treatment, Group A did not exhibit statistically significant differences in plaque index, gingival index, width of keratinized gingiva, and gingival recession compared with baseline values (all P > 0.05). However, in Group A, periodontal pocket depth and clinical attachment loss significantly increased compared with pretreatment levels ( t = -2.57, -7.50, both P < 0.05). After treatment, Group B exhibited significantly increased values for periodontal pocket depth, width of keratinized gingiva, gingival recession, and clinical attachment loss compared with baseline levels ( t = -8.66, -5.57, -45.33, -9.72, all P < 0.001). Furthermore, these values were significantly higher in Group B compared with those in Group A ( t = -4.28, -3.18, 10.00, 10.69, all P < 0.001). A statistically significant difference was also observed between the two groups in terms of mesial root resorption of the mandibular second molar ( t = 4.14, P < 0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference in LM-AC distance between the two groups after treatment ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:The combination of Piezocision and a microporous technique can effectively accelerate the anterior migration of mandibular molars in adults while maintaining the health of periodontal tissues. This approach holds great potential for clinical promotion.
