Lateral organ boundaries (LOB) domain (LBD) genes encode a family of transcription factors ubiquitous in higher plants, playing crucial roles in the growth, development, and stress responses. Hippophae rhamnoides, known for its drought, cold, and saline-alkali tolerance, offers significant economic benefits and ecological values. Utilizing the whole genome data and bioinformatics approaches, this study identified and analyzed the LBD gene family in H. rhamnoides. Additionally, we examined the expression pattern of HrLBD genes by integrating the transcriptome data from male and female flower buds in development. Eleven LBD genes were identified in H. rhamnoides, and these genes were distributed on five chromosomes. The HrLBD proteins showed the lengths ranging from 159 aa to 302 aa, the molecular weights between 18 249.91 Da and 33 202.01 Da, and the subcellular localization in the nucleus or chloroplasts. LBD protein domains and gene structures were highly conserved, featuring similar motifs. The phylogenetic analysis of HrLBD genes and the LBD genes in Arabidopsis thaliana and Hordeum vulgare revealed that HrLBD genes falled into two major categories: Class Ⅰ and Class Ⅱ. The transcriptome data and RT-qPCR showed that HrLBD genes were highly expressed in male flower buds, with up-regulated expression levels throughout bud development, indicating a role in the specific stage of male flower bud development. This study lays a theoretical foundation for exploring the roles of HrLBD genes in the growth, development, and sex differentiation of H. rhamnoides flower buds.

Objective:To systematically synthesize the real experiences of women who have undergone emergency cesarean sections, providing evidence-based insights to inform the development of personalized care strategies.Methods:A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, ProQuest, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc for qualitative and mixed-methods studies related to the psychological experiences of women who underwent emergency cesarean sections. The search covered all publications up to January 31, 2025. The methodological quality of included studies was appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute Center for Evidence-Based Health Care Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research. The results were integrated using an aggregative synthesis approach.Results:A total of 16 studies were included, from which 78 findings were extracted and grouped into nine new categories. These were further synthesized into three overarching themes: shift in birth plan and emergence of dynamic emotional responses; desire for diversified external support and encouragement; emotional investment and character growth.Conclusions:Women undergoing emergency cesarean sections commonly experience intense negative emotions. It is essential for healthcare providers and family members to pay close attention to the physical and psychological well-being of postpartum women, offer timely emotional support, and help them recover from psychological trauma, thereby promoting maternal mental and physical health.

BACKGROUND:miRNAs expression has been reported to be associated with hepatic and renal fibrosis,and dermal fibrogenesis. Moreover,a targeted regulatory relationship between miR-192-5p and epidermal regulators has been demonstrated in gouty arthritis.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression and regulatory role of miR-192-5p in hypertrophic scar and to verify whether there is a targeted regulatory relationship between miR-192-5p and epidermal regulators. METHODS:(1) Six cases of hypertrophic scar tissue and six cases of normal skin tissue were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. And miR-192-5p and epidermal regulator mRNA expression were detected by qRT-PCR. (2) The primary hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were obtained using tissue explant method and cultured to 3-6 generations for subsequent experiments. There were three groups in the experiment:negative control group,miR-192-5p mimic group and miR-192-5p inhibitor group. The latter two groups were transfected with the corresponding sequences. Cell proliferation viability was detected by the cell counting kit-8 assay and EdU kit;and the migration ability was detected by the cell scratch test. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The gene and protein expressions of epidermal regulator,type Ⅰ collagen,type Ⅲ collagen and α-smooth muscle actin were detected by qRT-PCR and western blot,respectively. miR-192-5p targets were predicted by a bioinformatics website,and target binding was validated by dual luciferase assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Compared with normal skin tissues and their fibroblasts,miR-192-5p and epidermal regulator were highly expressed in hypertrophic scar and hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (P<0.05 or P<0.01). (2) After overexpression of miR-192-5p,cell proliferation was enhanced (P<0.05) and EdU positive cell rate increased (P<0.01) when compared with the negative control group;after inhibition of miR-192-5p,cell viability (P<0.05) and EdU positive rate decreased (P<0.05). (3) At 24 hours after overexpression of miR-192-5p,compared with the negative control group,the area between cell scratches and apoptosis rate decreased in the miR-192-5p mimic group (P<0.05) but increased in the miR-192-5p inhibitor group (P<0.01). (4) At 48 hours after transfection,the mRNA and protein levels of epidermal regulator were significantly decreased in the miR-192-5p mimic group,while the mRNA and protein levels of type Ⅰ collagen,type Ⅲ collagen and α-smooth muscle actin were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The miR-192-5p inhibitor group showed opposite changes in the above four indicators (P<0.05 or P<0.01). (5) The Targetscan website predicted that epidermal regulator had a potential binding site for miR-192-5p. (6) Dual luciferase assays showed that miR-192-5p could bind to epidermal regulator in a targeted manner. To conclude,overexpression of miR-192-5p can decrease the expression of epidermal regulator,and the two may be negatively regulated,suggesting that regulation of epidermal regulator may play a role in inhibiting the proliferation of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts.
