Objective To investigate the role of poly(rC)-binding protein 1(PCBP1)in cadmium(Cd)-induced ferroptosis in mouse neuroblastoma Neuro-2a(N2A)cells.Methods N2A cells were exposed to a concentration gradient of CdCl?(0,1,2,4 μmol/L)for 72 h.Cell viability was assessed by trypan blue staining.Western blotting was employed to detect the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins(GPX4,HMOX1,ACSL4)and PCBP1.Intracellular Fe2? level and lipid peroxidation were detected using FerroOrange and BODIPY581/591 C11 probes,respectively.Ferrostatin-1(Fer-1),a ferroptosis inhibitor,was applied to confirm the critical role of ferroptosis in Cd-induced cytotoxicity.Molecular docking was performed to elucidate the interaction between PCBP1 and ferritin,as well as the binding sites of Cd2?.PCBP1 overexpression plasmid was further constructed for functional validation.Results Cd exposure suppressed cell viability in N2A cells in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.01),significantly down-regulated GPX4 expression(P<0.05),up-regulated HMOX1 expression(P<0.01),and induced Fe2? overload and lipid peroxidation(P<0.01).Molecular docking revealed that Cd2? directly bound to the KH2 domain of PCBP1 and then co-localized on the outer surface of ferritin heavy chain.Overexpression of PCBP1 markedly reversed Cd-induced Fe2? accumulation,GPX4 down-regulation,lipid peroxidation,and cell death.Conclusion Cd exposure disrupts PCBP1-mediated iron homeostasis via transcriptional suppression and competitive displacement of metal ions,and then synergistically drives Fe2? overload-triggered ferroptosis cascades,ultimately leading to neurotoxicity.Targeting PCBP1-mediated iron homeostasis can effectively mitigate Cd-induced neurotoxicity,and may serve as a novel therapeutic strategy.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of high semi-decubitus position in the second stage of labor in epidural analgesic delivery of primipara.Methods:A total of 120 women who gave birth in Hang-zhou women's Hospital from May 1,2021 to July 30,2021 were randomly divided into experimental group(n=60)and control group(n=60)by random number table method.The control group adopted supine position in the sec-ond stage of labor,and the experimental group transferred to high semi-supine position after the supine position was used applied for 30 minutes when the fetal head was not exposed.To compare the effects of different postur-al positions on the duration of the second stage of labor,mode of delivery,postpartum injury,perineal tearing,la-bor force experience and labor control,and neonatal asphyxia.Results:The duration of uterine opening to fetal head exposure,the duration of uterine opening to fetal head crown and the duration of second stage of labor in experimental group were shorter than those in control group.The rate of natural delivery of experimental group was higher than that of control group.The episiotomy rate and the second degree perineal laceration rate were lower than that of control group.The amount of blood loss during delivery and 2h postpartum of experimental group was less than that of control group.The scores of birth experience and birth control of experimental group were higher than those of control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in 1-minute Agpar score and 5-minute Agpar score between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusions:The application of high semi-decubitus position under epidural labor analgesia promoted vaginal natural labor,shortened the time of second stage of labor,reduced episiotomy rate and perineal laceration de-gree,reduced postpartum hemorrhage,had positive labor force experience,and increased the sense of labor con-trol.

Objective:To analyze the use and satisfaction of smart healthcare in public hospitals in Hangzhou from the perspective of patient experience.Methods:From August to September 2020, 501 patients from 2 class A tertiary hospitals and 5 community health centers in Hangzhou were randomly selected for questionnaire survey. The survey included their usage and satisfaction of smart healthcare. Based on SERVQUAL theory, the patient satisfaction scale included 5 dimensions of tangibility, reliability, reactivity, assurance, and empathy. The factors affecting patient satisfaction were analyzed by single factor and multi factor analysis.Results:The average score of patient satisfaction was 3.94±0.56. The satisfaction with tangibility(4.25±0.64), assurance(4.07±0.71)and reactivity(4.02±0.73)was higher, while the scoring of empathy(3.84±0.77)and reliability(3.52±0.70)were lower than the average score. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that patients′ educational level, occupational type and UTAUT score had a certain impact on satisfaction( P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall satisfaction of patients with smart healthcare in Hangzhou is high. In the future, we should pay more attention to big data security and personal privacy protection, upgrade the smart medical system, improve the hospital Internet platform, empower smart healthcare service system through digital technology, and promote the comprehensive digital transformation of health.
