Objective: To explore factors associated with return intention and behavior among young lapsed blood donors from three psychological dimensions: blood donation values, moral identity and internalized responsibility, and to provide a contextualized interpretation of these psychological factors within the traditional Chinese ethical framework of “benevolence-righteousness-virtue”. Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed among 732 young lapsed blood donors in Hangzhou, China, recruited via stratified random sampling. At baseline, participants completed measures of blood donation values, moral identity and identified regulation. Six months later, return intention was assessed among 344 participants who completed the follow-up survey, while actual return behavior was determined from blood center records for all 732 participants at baseline. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the predictive effects of these psychological variables on return intention and behavior. Results: Blood donation motivations varied significantly across participants with different educational levels (P<0.05). Among the 344 participants who completed the follow-up survey, blood donation values, moral identity, and identified regulation were each significantly associated with return intention (P<0.05). These associations remained significant after adjustment for demographic factors (P<0.01). When the three psychological factors were simultaneously entered into the model, only identified regulation remained independently associated with return intention (OR=1.95, 95%CI:1.35-2.82, P<0.001). Among all 732 participants, the three psychological factors were each significantly associated with actual return behavior in univariate and adjusted analyses；however, none remained independently associated with actual return behavior when entered simultaneously into the model (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Identified regulation may be an important psychological factor underlying the formation of return intention among young lapsed blood donors. From the perspective of the “benevolence - righteousness - virtue” ethical framework, blood donation values, identified regulation, and moral identity represent distinct dimensions of donation motivation, with the dimension of “righteousness” reflected in internalized responsibility, showing a relatively prominent role in return intention. The translation of psychological motivation into actual return behavior may additionally depend on other factors and warrants further investigation.

Obesity is a significant risk factor for cancer and is associated with breast cancer metastasis. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which alterations in systemic metabolism affect tumor microenvironment (TME) and consequently influence tumor metastasis remains inadequately understood. Herein, we found that perturbations in circulating metabolites induced by obesity promote metastasis-like phenotypes in breast cancer. Oleoylcarnitine (OLCarn) concentrations were elevated in the serum of obese mice and humans. Administration of exogenous OLCarn induces metastasis-like characteristics in breast cancer cells. Mechanistically, OLCarn directly interacts with the Arg176 site of adenylate cyclase 10 (ADCY10), leading to the activation of ADCY10 and enhancement of cAMP production. Mutations at Arg176 prevent OLCarn from binding to ADCY10, disrupting the ADCY10-mediated activation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway. This activation promotes transcription factor 4 (TCF4)-dependent kinesin family member C1 (KIFC1) transcription, thereby driving breast cancer metastasis. Conversely, the neutralization of both ADCY10 and KIFC1 through knockdown or pharmacological inhibition abrogates the oncogenic effects mediated by OLCarn. Hence, obesity-induced systemic environmental changes lead to the aberrant accumulation of OLCarn within the TME, making it a potential therapeutic target and biomarker for breast cancer.

Objective To explore the correlation of body mass index,urinary protein and tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis(sTWEAK)during pregnancy with the severity of preeclampsia and pregnancy outcome.Methods A total of 63 patients with preeclampsia who were examined in Xingtai People's Hospital from April 2022 to April 2023 were enrolled in the study,33 patients with mild preeclampsia were included in the mild group and 30 patients with severe preeclampsia were included in the severe group.Physi-cal characteristics,urinary protein and sTWEAK levels between the groups were recorded,and the patients were followed up to explore the correlation with pregnancy outcome.Results The systolic and diastolic blood pressure of patients in the mild group were lower than those in the severe group,and the plasma albumin was higher than that in the severe group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in pre preg-nancy weight and pre pregnancy body mass index between the mild and severe groups of patients(P＞0.05).The delivery weight and weight gain during pregnancy in the mild group were lower than those in the severe group(P＜0.05).The 24-hour urinary protein quantification in the mild group was lower than that in the se-vere group,and the sTWEAK expression level was higher than that in the severe group(P＜0.05).The pre pregnancy weight,pre pregnancy body mass index,delivery weight,and weight gain during pregnancy in the good pregnancy outcome group were all lower than those in the adverse pregnancy outcome group(P＜0.05).The 24-hour urinary protein quantification in the good pregnancy outcome group was lower than that in the adverse pregnancy outcome group,and the sTWEAK expression level was higher than that in the adverse pregnancy outcome group(P＜0.05).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve(AUC)of pre pregnancy body mass index,pre pregnancy weight,delivery weight,gestational weight gain,24-hour urinary protein quantification,and sTWEAK expression levels for predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients were 0.906,0.690,0.919,0.664,0.908,and 0.793,respectively.The AUC for predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients by combining pre pregnancy body mass index,de-livery weight,24-hour urinary protein quantification,and sTWEAK expression level was 0.932.Conclusion Body mass index,urinary protein and sTWEAK levels during pregnancy are closely associated with the severity of pre-eclampsia and pregnancy outcomes,and these indicators may help identify high-risk pregnant women early and take appropriate interventions to improve pregnancy outcomes.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of circular RNA nuclear receptor interacting protein 1(circNRIP1)expression on exhaustion of CD8+T cells in cervical cancer cells.Methods Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of circNRIP1 in cervical epithelial cells HCerEpic and cer-vical cancer cells C-33A,Hela,SiHa,and CS121.C-33A cells were divided into Vector group,circNRIP1 group,and circNRIP1+miR-138-5p group,while CS121 cells were divided into sh-NC group,sh-circNRIP1 group,and sh-circNRIP1+miR-138-5p inhibitor.Human peripheral blood CD8+T cells were extracted,and C-33A cells in Vector group and circNRIP1 group were co-incubated with CD8+T cells for 24 hours(CD8+T/Vector group and CD8+T/Vector group).CS121 cells in sh-NC group and sh-circNRIP1 group were co-incu-bated with CD8+T cells for 24 hours(CD8+T/sh NC group and CD8+T/sh-circNRIP1 group).Cytotoxicity experiments were conducted to detect the killing ability of CD8+T cells,ELISA was used to detect the levels of interleukin(IL)-2,interferon(IFN)-γ,and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α in the cell supernatant.Flow cy-tometry was used to detect the expression of programmed death receptor-1(PD-1),T cell Immunoglobulin domain and Mucin domain protein-3(TIM3),and lymphocyte activation gene 3(LAG3)in CD8+T cells.Dual luciferase reporter gene experiments were conducted to verify the targeting relationship between circNRIP1 and miR-138-5p,as well as the targeting relationship between miR-138-5p and PD-L1.Results The expres-sions of circNRIP1 in C-33A,Hela,SiHa,and CS121 cells were significantly higher than those in HCerEpic(P＜0.05).The killing ability of CD8+T cells against C-33A cells in the circNRIP1 group was lower than their killing ability against Vector group cells.The levels of IL-2,IFN-γ,and TNF-α secreted by CD8+T cells in the CD8+T/circNRIP1 group were significantly lower than those in the CD8+T/Vector group(P＜0.05),and the levels of PD-1,LAG-3,and TIM-3 expressed by CD8+T cells in the CD8+T/circNRIP1 group were al-so significantly higher than those in the CD8+T/Vector group(P＜0.05).The killing ability of CD8+T cells against sh-circNRIP1 group CS121 cells was higher than their killing ability against sh-NC group cells(P＜0.05).The levels of IL-2,IFN-γ,and TNF-α secreted by CD8+T cells in the CD8+T/sh-circNRIP1 group were significantly higher than those in the CD8+T/sh-NC group(P＜0.05).The PD-1,LAG-3,and TIM-3 levels of CD8+T cells in the CD8+T/sh-circNRIP1 group were also significantly lower than those in the CD8+T/sh-NC group(P＜0.05).The results of the dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment showed that miR-138-5p was the target gene of circNRIP1,and PD-L1 was the target gene of miR-138-5p.Conclusion circNRIP1 can in-duce the exhaustion of CD8+T cells by upregulating the expression of PD-L1.

Objective To investigate the expression of circular RNA ubiquitin-associated protein 2(circ-UBAP2)and RAS-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1(Rac1)in cervical cancer tissues and their relation-ship with radiotherapy efficacy and prognosis.Methods A total of 96 patients with cervical cancer admitted to the hospital from January 2019 to May 2021 were selected as the research subjects.Detect the expression of circ-UBAP2 and Rac1 in the cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of the patients.The clinical data of the patients were recorded.According to the radiotherapy efficacy,they were divided into patients with effective radiother-apy(n=62)and patients with ineffective radiotherapy(n=34),and the relationship between the expressions of circ-UBAP2 and Rac1 and the radiotherapy efficacy was analyzed.The survival conditions of the patients were followed up for 3 years and they were divided into the survival group(n=81)and the death group(n=15),and the clinical data of the two groups were compared.The relationship between the expressions of circ-UBAP2 and Rac1 and the survival prognosis of patients was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier.The risk factors influ-encing the prognosis of patients were analyzed by Cox regression.Results The circ-UBAP2 expression and the positive rates of Rac1 expression in cancer tissues were both higher than those in adjacent tissues,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The effective rate of radiotherapy in patients with high ex-pression of circ-UBAP2 and Rac1 in cancer tissues was lower than that in patients with low expression of circ-UBAP2 and Rac1,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The 3-year overall survival rate and average survival duration of patients with high expression of circ-UBAP2 and Rac1 in cancer tissues were lower than those of patients with low expression of circ-UBAP2 and Rac1,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).There were statistically significant differences in clinical stage,tumor differentiation degree,expressions of circ-UBAP2 and Rac1,and the proportion of lymph node metastasis between the two groups(P＜0.05).The results of Cox regression analysis showed that clinical stage Ⅱ B-Ⅲ,poorly differen-tiated tumor degree,high expression of circ-UBAP2 and Rac1,and lymph node metastasis were risk factors af-fecting the prognosis of patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion circ-UBAP2 and Rac1 are abnormally highly ex-pressed in cervical cancer tissues and are related to the radiotherapy efficacy and prognosis.

Objective To investigate the expression levels of micro RNA-651(miR-651)and the transcrip-tion factor Forkhead Box N2(FOXN2)in lung cancer tissues and to analyse their relationship with patients' prognosis after lobectomy.Methods A total of 98 patients with lung cancer who underwent lobectomy from January 2020 to December 2021 in Nantong Cancer Hospital were selected as research objects,the lung cancer tissue specimens and corresponding paracancerous tissue specimens of patients were collected,the expression levels of miR-651 and FOXN2 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR),and their re-lationship with the prognosis of patients after lobectomy was analyzed.Results At 2-year follow-up,19(19.39％)of 98 patients had recurrent metastasis,and the median time to recurrent metastasis was 20 months(95％CI:18.626--21.374).qPCR assay showed that the expression levels of miR-651 and FOXN2 in lung cancer tissues were significantly lower than those in paracancerous tissues(P＜0.05).miR-651 and FOXN2 expression levels were significantly correlated with clinicopathological features such as tumour size,TNM stage and lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).The results of univariate Cox regression analysis showed that the percentages of maximum tumor diameter ≥3 cm,TNM stage Ⅱ,lymph node metastasis,miR-651 low ex-pression and FOXN2 low expression were higher in the poor prognosis group than those in the good prognosis group(P＜0.05).Multifactorial Cox regression analysis showed that maximum tumor diameter ≥ 3 cm(HR=3.185,95％CI:1.105-9.182),TNM stage Ⅱ(HR=5.167,95％CI:1.939-13.771),lymph node metastasis(HR=2.860,95％CI:1.115-7.338),low miR-651 expression(HR=5.345,95％CI:1.845-15.483)and low FOXN2 expression(HR=5.404,95％CI:1.744-16.745)were independent risk factors for the prognosis of lung cancer patients after lobectomy(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression levels of miR-651 and FOXN2 were reduced in the tissues of lung cancer patients,and both were associated with tumour size,TNM stage,lymph node metastasis,and patients' prognosis after lobectomy.

Objective: To analyze the trajectories of body mass index for age z-score (BAZ) and its influencing factors among children with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) based on latent class growth modeling (LCGM), so as to provide the evidence for improving treatment measures and optimizing growth management among children with CH. Methods Children with CH aged 0 to 3 years from the Newborn Disease Screening Center of Shanxi Children's Hospital (Shanxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital) between 2017 and 2022 were selected as the research subjects. Basic information, height and weight data from 3 to 36 months of age, age at treatment initiation, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels at diagnosis, and family information were retrospectively collected. BAZ for children with CH at each month of age was calculated based on the WHO Child Growth Standards. The trajectories of BAZ were analyzed using LCGM, and factors affecting the trajectories of BAZ among children with CH were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model. Methods: Children with CH aged 0 to 3 years from the Newborn Disease Screening Center of Shanxi Children's Hospital (Shanxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital) between 2017 and 2022 were selected as the research subjects. Basic information, height and weight data from 3 to 36 months of age, age at treatment initiation, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels at diagnosis, and family information were retrospectively collected. BAZ for children with CH at each month of age was calculated based on the WHO Child Growth Standards. The trajectories of BAZ were analyzed using LCGM, and factors affecting the trajectories of BAZ among children with CH were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model. Results: A total of 299 children with CH were included. There were 140 boys (46.82%) and 159 girls (53.18%). The median of BAZ was 0.50 (interquartile range, 1.68). The LCGM analysis categorized the subjects into three groups: the persistent high-growth pattern group with 24 cases (8.03%), the slow-growth pattern group with 39 cases (13.04%), and the appropriate-growth pattern group with 236 cases (78.93%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that compared to the children with CH in the appropriate-growth pattern group, those who started treatment at the age of 30 to 60 days (OR=0.109, 95%CI: 0.016-0.732; OR=0.166, 95%CI: 0.032-0.852) had a lower risk of persistent high-growth and slow-growth patterns; CH children with TSH levels of 50 to 150 mIU/L at diagnosis (OR=3.554, 95%CI: 1.201-10.514) and those whose paternal had a senior high school/technical secondary school education (OR=2.975, 95%CI: 1.003-8.823) exhibited a higher risk of the persistent high-growth pattern. Conversely, CH children whose paternal reproductive age was 30 to 35 years (OR=0.166, 95%CI: 0.034-0.806) had a lower risk of the persistent high-growth pattern. Conclusions The BAZ trajectory of children with CH aged 0 to 3 years exhibited three patterns: persistent high-growth, slow-growth, and appropriate-growth. The persistent high-growth and slow-growth patterns were associated with treatment timing, TSH levels at diagnosis, paternal reproductive age, and paternal education level. It is recommended to strengthen early treatment interventions and provide family follow-up guidance.

Cognitive decline is one of the most common adverse symptoms following acute high-altitude exposure(AHAE).MRI can reveal the structural and functional changes in brain caused by AHAE,thereby deeply understanding the specific mechanism of its cognitive decline,which is of great significance for early prevention and intervention.Research progresses on MRI assessment of cognitive function after AHAE and related intervention methods were reviewed in this article.

The aim of this updated guideline is to provide comprehensive recommendations for the management of gout in patients with common comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease(CKD), cardiovascular disease(CVD), diabetes, osteoarthritis(OA), and gastrointestinal disorders. This guideline was developed by a multidisciplinary expert panel consisting of specialists in endocrinology, rheumatology, nephrology, cardiology, gastroenterology, and methodology. The development process adhered to standard methodologies, including PICO(population, intervention, comparator, and outcomes) question deconstruction, systematic literature review, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation(GRADE) for evidence and recommendation evaluation, Delphi voting, and expert consensus. The guideline presents 26 evidence-based recommendations addressing 7 clinical questions for patients with hyperuricemia and gout in the context of comorbidities. Key recommendations include the maintenance of strict serum urate targets, particularly for patients with CKD stage≥3, chronic gouty arthritis, and OA, in order to prevent disease progression. In patients with CVD or diabetes, intra-articular triamcinolone is preferred over systemic glucocorticoids. Prioritized anti-inflammatory treatments for patients with CKD, gastrointestinal diseases and OA are recommended. The guideline also introduces emerging therapies, such as interleukin-1 inhibitors and selective urate transport inhibitors, as potential treatment options for refractory cases. The update offers a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to managing gout, particularly in individuals with associated comorbidities. Multidisciplinary collaboration and emerging new treatments and evidence ensure the optimization of the recommendations.
