Objective To elucidate the molecular mechanism of sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) in regulating mitochondrial biogenesis in human renal tubular epithelial cells. Methods Cells were stimulated with different concentrations of H₂O₂ and divided into four groups: control (NC), 50 μmol/L H₂O₂, 110 μmol/L H₂O₂ and 150 μmol/L H₂O₂. SIRT3 protein expression was then measured. SIRT3 was knocked down with siRNA, and cells were further assigned to five groups: control (NC), negative-control siRNA (NCsi), SIRT3-siRNA (siSIRT3), NCsi+H₂O₂, and siSIRT3+H₂O₂. After 24 h, cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and mitochondrial superoxide anion (O₂•⁻) levels were determined, together with mitochondrial expression of SIRT3, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), acetylated-SOD2 and adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase α1 (AMPKα1). Results The 110 and 150 μmol/L H₂O₂ decreased SIRT3 protein (both P<0.05). ATP and mitochondrial O₂•⁻ did not differ between NC and NCsi groups (both P>0.05). Compared to the NCsi group, the siSIRT3 group exhibited elevated O₂•⁻ level, decreased SIRT3 protein and increased expression levels of SOD2 and acetylated SOD2 protein (all P<0.05). Compared to the NCsi group, the NCsi+H₂O₂ group exhibited decreased cellular ATP levels, elevated mitochondrial O₂•⁻ levels, and reduced protein expression levels of SIRT3, SOD2, TFAM, AMPKα1, PGC-1α and NRF1 (all P<0.05). Compared with the siSIRT3 group, the siSIRT3+H₂O₂ group showed a decrease in cellular ATP levels, an increase in mitochondrial O₂•⁻ levels, a decrease in SIRT3, SOD2, TFAM, AMPKα1, PGC-1α and NRF1 protein expression levels and a decrease in acetylated SOD2 protein expression levels (all P<0.05). Compared with the NCsi+H₂O₂ group, the siSIRT3+H₂O₂ group showed a decrease in cellular ATP levels, an increase in mitochondrial O₂•⁻ levels, a decrease in SIRT3, AMPKα1, PGC-1α and NRF1, TFAM protein expression levels, and an increase in SOD2 and acetylated SOD2 protein expression levels (all P<0.05). Conclusions SIRT3 promotes mitochondrial biogenesis in tubular epithelial cells via the AMPK/PGC-1α/NRF1/TFAM axis, representing a key mechanism through which SIRT3 ameliorates oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major form of dementia in the elderly and is closely related to the toxic effects of microglia sustained activation. In AD, sustained microglial activation triggers impaired synaptic pruning, neuroinflammation, neurotoxicity, and cognitive deficits. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that aberrant expression of deubiquitinating enzymes is associated with regulating microglia function. Here, we use RNA sequencing to identify a deubiquitinase YOD1 as a regulator of microglial function and AD pathology. Further study showed that YOD1 knockout significantly improved the migration, phagocytosis, and inflammatory response of microglia, thereby improving the cognitive impairment of AD model mice. Through LC-MS/MS analysis combined with Co-IP, we found that Myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9), a key regulator maintaining microglia homeostasis, is an interacting protein of YOD1. Mechanistically, YOD1 binds to MYH9 and maintains its stability by removing the K48 ubiquitin chain from MYH9, thereby mediating the microglia polarization signaling pathway to mediate microglia homeostasis. Taken together, our study reveals a specific role of microglial YOD1 in mediating microglia homeostasis and AD pathology, which provides a potential strategy for targeting microglia to treat AD.

【Objective】 To investigate the correlation between perioperative zero red blood cell(RBC) transfusion and the prognosis of patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was made on 96 patients who underwent one-stop Hybrid surgery for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection in our hospital from May 2021 to May 2022. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they received perioperative RBC transfusion: zero RBC transfusion group (group A, n=26) and RBC transfusion group (group B, n=70). The preoperative general data and laboratory indexes were recorded and the propensity score matching method was used to screen the patients with the same preoperative baseline data, with comparison of operation-related indicators, intraoperative and postoperative blood component dosage and prognostic indicators. 【Results】 With BMI index, hemoglobin, platelet count, and troponin T as co variables, 48 patients were included in the study after matching according to 1∶1 propensity score: Group A (n=24) and Group B (n=24). Compared with group A, hemoglobin and hematocrit in group B decreased significantly at the end of operation and 24 h after operation, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in operation-related indicators, intraoperative and postoperative blood component dosage, in-hospital mortality, continuous renal replacement therapy, incidence of infection and cerebral infarction (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 The perioperative hemoglobin of patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection with zero RBC transfusion did not significantly decrease, and the postoperative complications and mortality did not increase.

Lateral canals are small branches from the main root canal, usually extending from the dentin and cementum into the periodontal ligament, mostly located at the lower 1/3 of the apical portion. Due to the complex and varied anatomical morphology as well as the high incidence, it becomes an important factor affecting the effect of root canal therapy and a difficult point in this process. It is of great clinical significance to master the treatment strategy of lateral canals during root canal therapy. This article reviews the anatomical characteristics of lateral canals, as well as the clinical identification, treatment strategy and the laboratory detection methods of lateral canals in the process of root canal preparation, disinfection, and obturation.

Objective:To explore the protective effect and mechanism of scutellarin (Scu) on sepsis associated-acute kidney injury (SA-AKI).Methods:① In vivo experiment: 36 male C57BL/6 mice were divided into normal saline (NS) control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced SA-AKI model group (LPS group), 20 mg/kg Scu control group (Scu 20 control group), and 5, 10, 20 mg/kg Scu pretreatment groups by random number table with 6 mice in each group. The SA-AKI model was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg LPS. The NS control group was injected with NS intraperitoneally. The Scu pretreatment groups were intraperitoneally injected with different doses of Scu every day before LPS injection for 1 week. Scu 20 control group was injected with 20 mg/kg Scu for 1 week. After 24 hours of LPS treatment, mice in each group were sacrificed, kidney tissues were collected, and kidney injury was detected by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway related molecules, apoptosis-related proteins and cysteine-rich protein 61-connective tissue growth factor-nephroblastoma overexpressed gene 1 (CCN1). ② In vitro experiment: human renal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2 was cultured in vitro and used for experiment when the cells fused to 80%. In the cells without LPS treatment and after 100 g/L LPS treatment, pcDNA3.1-CCN1 and small interfering RNA (siRNA) CCN1 sequence were transfected to overexpress and inhibit CCN1 expression, respectively, to observe whether CCN1 was involved in NF-κB signaling pathway activation and apoptosis. In addition, 100g/L LPS and 20 μmol/L Scu were added into HK-2 cells transfected with and without CCN1 siRNA to investigate the mechanism of protective effect of Scu on LPS-induced HK-2 cells injury. Results:① The results of in vivo experiment: the renal function of SA-AKI mice induced by LPS was significantly decreased, and had kidney histological damage and severely damaged renal tubules. Scu could alleviate renal function and histological damage in a dose-dependent manner. Western blotting results showed Scu could reduce the protein expression of NF-κB signaling pathway related molecules and CCN1 in the renal tissue, and had a significant alleviating effect on apoptosis, indicating that CCN1 was involved in NF-κB signaling pathway activation and apoptosis. ② The results of in vitro experiment: in HK-2 cells not treated with LPS, CCN1 overexpression had no effect on apoptosis related protein and pro-inflammatory factors of NF-κB signaling pathway. In HK-2 cells treated with LPS, overexpression of CCN1 significantly inhibited the mRNA expressions of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), with significant differences as compared with cells stimulated only by LPS [IL-1β mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 3.20±0.57 vs. 4.88±0.69, TNF-α mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 2.99±0.44 vs. 5.00±0.81, MCP-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 2.81±0.50 vs. 5.41±0.75, all P < 0.05], and the apoptosis-related protein was significantly down-regulated. However, when siRNA was used to inhibit the expression of CCN1, the mRNA expressions of pro-inflammatory factors were significantly increased as compared with cells stimulated only by LPS [IL-1β mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 6.01±1.13 vs. 4.88±0.69, TNF-α mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 5.15±0.86 vs. 5.00±0.81, all P < 0.05], and apoptosis-related protein was significantly up-regulated. In the LPS-induced HK-2 cells, the mRNA expressions of pro-inflammatory factors were significantly down-regulated after Scu treatment as compared with cells stimulated only by LPS [IL-1β mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT) : 2.55±0.50 vs. 6.15±1.04, TNF-α mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 2.58±0.40 vs. 3.95±0.52, MCP-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 2.64±0.44 vs. 6.21±0.96, all P < 0.05], and apoptosis-related protein was also significantly reduced. When the expression of CCN1 was inhibited by siRNA, the protective effect of Scu on cells was weakened, which showed that the mRNA expressions of pro-inflammatory factors in cells was significantly up-regulated compared with the cells without inhibition of CCN1 expression [IL-1β mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 5.34±0.76 vs. 2.55±0.50, TNF-α mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 3.66±0.54 vs. 2.58±0.40, MCP-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCT): 5.15±0.79 vs. 2.64±0.44, all P < 0.05], and the expression of apoptosis related protein was also significantly up-regulated. Conclusions:Scu could protect the renal function in SA-AKI mice, and the protective effect is associated with NF-κB signaling pathway and CCN1. Thus, Scu could alleviate LPS-induced kidney injury by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Family physicians contracted service is an important choice to deepen the reform of China′s healthcare reform and achieve the strategic goal of " health for all" . In order to effectively promote the contracted service, the central government has successively issued a number of policy documents, which are echoed by the localities in their proactive explorations, achieving remarkable results. But there are also multiple roadblocks hindering the contracted service to progress. This article referred to the three-circle theory and studied policy implementation from the three dimensions of policy value, policy resources, and policy impetus. A thorough analysis of the problems in the implementation process revealed such main problems as insufficient family physicians, inadequacy of supporting policies and low level of policy acceptance among the young healthy age groups. The follow-up work will promote the long-term implementation of the family physicians contracted service policy by enriching the family physicians team, enriching supporting policies, and focusing on promotions to key age groups.

Delirium is an acute cognitive impairment syndrome. The incidence of delirium in intensive care unit (ICU) is higher than that in general wards which is an independent risk factor of clinical outcomes of ICU patients. At present, there is no unified standards in assessment instrument for ICU delirium in China which has influences on early diagnosis and assessment by medical staff and makes the incidence of ICU delirium high. This paper reviewed the research progress of assessment instrument for ICU delirium at home and abroad so as to provide a basis for assessment of ICU patients with delirium in China.
