Objective: To investigate the indoor fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) pollution and its influencing factors in children s bedrooms using solid fuel, so as to provide evidence for effective strategy to reduce PM 2.5 pollution. Methods: From December 2019 to November 2020, 198 households (108 in the north, 90 in the south) from two pilots in the north(Jiamusi in Heilongjiang Province) and south of China (Mianyang in Sichuan Province) were selected, and status of solid fuels using were obtained through home visits, dynamic changes in PM 2.5 concentrations in children s bedrooms were monitored by using real time online instruments, and the influencing factors of PM 2.5 pollution were analyzed by using a mixed effects model. Results: During the monitoring period, the daily PM 2.5 concentrations in the northern and southern pilot were 78.33 (40.50, 154.80) and 38.54(26.20, 58.46) μg/m 3, respectively, exceeding standard rates of 44.57% and 33.22%. During the heating period, the daily PM 2.5 concentrations in the northern and southern pilot were 212.50(133.60,244.10) and 104.42(73.97, 134.90) μg/m 3, respectively, with over standard rates of 96.75% and 86.96%. The mixed effects model analysis results showed that children s bedroom PM 2.5 concentrations were associated with solid fuel usage duration, window opening time, room layout (shared entrance door between kitchen and bedroom), indoor smoking, indoor humidity, and solid fuel use in the bedroom ( β =0.19, -0.05, 1.20, 0.43, 0.02, 0.35, all P <0.05). Conclusion Solid fuel combustion significantly comtributes to PM 2.5 pollution in children s bedrooms, with more pronounced impacts observed in northern China compared to southern regions.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a polygenic genetic background. Its etiology remains unclear， and its pathogenesis is complex and refractory， collectively posing significant challenges in its treatment and greatly affecting the physical and mental health of patients. With the advantages of multi-target and multi-pathway treatment， traditional Chinese medicine has shown unique efficacy and value in the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis. Modern doctors have a lot of discussion on psoriasis， and most of them tend to treat the disease by solving disorders of the blood system. They think that the disease is closely related to the "heat in the blood". Combining the clinical characteristics and accompanying symptoms of psoriasis， this article traced the causes of "heat in the blood" in psoriasis and believed that multiple internal and external factors have prevented the smooth circulation of Qi. Yang Qi Fuyu （stagnation） and transformation into heat and toxicity is the source of "heat in the blood" in psoriasis. Furthermore， it was proposed that "Fuyu" is the core pathogenesis of psoriasis. The etiology of "Fuyu" is complex， such as external wind and cold pathogens， emotional injuries， internal accumulation of dampness， and deficiency of healthy Qi， all of which can disrupt the ascending and descending movement of Qi， impede the circulation of Qi and fluids， close the pores and skin texture， and subsequently lead to stagnation. Based on the above understanding， "resolving stagnation" is crucial for treating the disease. Many doctors have explored the treatment ideas of psoriasis from the perspectives of dispelling wind， warming cold， regulating Qi， eliminating dampness， tonifying deficiency， and external treatment， aiming to remove the causes， promote the circulation of Qi and fluids， and resolve stagnation and heat. Clinical studies have shown that the therapies can relieve clinical symptoms， reduce recurrence rate， and improve quality of life， which also have good safety in the treatment of psoriasis. This article discussed the treatment of psoriasis from the perspective of "Fuyu"， enriching the understanding of TCM regarding the etiology and pathogenesis of psoriasis. It is aiming to serve as an effective supplement to the "treating by solving disorders of the blood system" approach and provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis.

Cell death is classified into programmed cell death(PCD)and non-programmed cell death(NCD).Necroptosis is a form of PCD that does not rely on caspases and is regulated by four signaling pathways:receptor-interacting protein kinase 1/3(RIPK1-RIPK3),TIR-domain-containing adapter-in-ducing interferon-β(TRIF)-RIPK3,Z-DNA binding protein 1(ZBP1)-RIPK3,and type Ⅰ/Ⅱ interferon receptors(IFNRs).These pathways interact to regulate the activity of core molecules such as RIPK1,RIPK3,and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein(MLKL),thereby determining the occurrence of necroptosis.The dysregulation of these pathways can lead to the development of various diseases,inclu-ding cancer.Necroptosis not only inhibits tumor occurrence and progression by promoting tumor cell death,but also creates a tumor microenvironment(TME)conducive to tumor cell growth through its pro-inflammatory properties,thereby promoting tumor growth and metastasis.Therefore,the dual role of nec-roptosis in cancer makes it an important research direction in tumor treatment.This article reviews the key signaling pathways of necroptosis,explores its interactions with other cell death pathways such as cell survival,apoptosis,and pyroptosis.Meanwhile,it analyzes the dual regulatory mechanisms of necropto-sis in cancer progression and discusses the issue of overcoming tumor treatment resistance by modulating necroptosis.It further explores its potential therapeutic targets and application prospects,aiming to pro-vide new intervention strategies and theoretical basis for cancer treatment.

Objective:Exploring the role and mechanism of CHMP4C in regulating necroptosis during gastric can-cer development and progression.Method:The expression of CHMP4C in pan-cancer was analyzed by bioinformatics methods,and the expression of CHMP4C was detected in human normal gastric epithelial cells and GC cell lines by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Overexpression or knockdown of CHMP4C was performed in GC cell lines,and the effects of CHMP4C on the growth and proliferation of GC cells were detected using CCK-8 and clone formation assays.The CCK-8 experiment and Hoechst/PI double staining experiment were used to detect the changes in GC cell mortality and PI positive cell ratio after treatment with the necroptsis inducer TSZ or inhibitor necrostatin-1(Nec-1).Western blot assay was used to detect the protein and phosphorylation levels of RIPK1,RIPK3,and MLKL in GC cells.Result:CHMP4C was upregulated in GC tissues and cells.The CCK-8 and clone formation experiments showed that overex-pression of CHMP4C significantly improved the proliferation ability and colony formation efficiency of GC cells,while knockdown of CHMP4C significantly weakened GC cells.Moreover,the results of CCK-8 and Hoechst 33342/PI double staining experiments showed that upregulated CHMP4C could inhibit TSZ induced GC cell death;Nec-1 can reverse the decrease in GC cell viability caused by CHMP4C knockdown.Western blot experiment showed that the levels of p-RIPK1,p-RIPK3,and p-MLKL were significantly decreased in overexpressing cells,while they were increased in knockdown cells.After treatment with Nec-1,the expression levels of these three proteins decreased in knockdown cells.Conclusion:CHMP4C may promote GC progression by negatively regulating necroptosis through inhibiting the phosphorylation of the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signaling pathway,suggesting that it is expected to be a potential target for GC therapy.

Objective The stress distribution of the lumbar spine L1-5,fibrous rings and nucleus pulposus of the patient in mid-phase of single-leg support under slow-walking gait was studied,to determine the optimal correction angle of the osteotomy block in curved periacetabular osteotomy(CPO),and provide an individualized plan for clinical surgery.Methods The femur-pelvis-lumbar spine DICOM data of a patient and a healthy volunteer were obtained using CT scanning to construct a three-dimensional finite element model.The cortical bone,cancellous bone,and cartilages were delineated using the modeling software,and the model was analyzed by finite element method using simulation software.The patient's lateral center edge angle(LCEA)and anterior center edge angle(ACEA)were 15°,and 16 different postoperative models(LCEA=15°,25°,35°,45° and ACEA=15°,25°,35°,45°)were obtained by computer simulation of the surgical osteotomy process.The stress differences in the regions of interest of the model were compared and analyzed,which were also compared with those of patient before surgery and the healthy volunteer,so as to obtain the optimal surgical plan.Results The stresses applied to the lumbar spine decreased with increasing LCEA and ACEA angles,with the lowest stresses applied to the lumbar cones,nucleus pulposus,and annulus fibrosus in the LCEA=35°,ACEA=35° models;then,the stresses applied increased with increasing angles.Conclusions The optimal correction angle for LCEA and ACEA can be obtained using the finite element method,and this method is of great significance to improve the accuracy and efficiency of CPO for different patients.

Objective:To investigate the effects of melatonin(MT)on spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury(SCIRI)and its possible mechanisms in rats.Methods:Forty-two 6-week-old male Sprague Dawley rats were selected for the study and randomly divided into three groups:① Sham group(Sham group,n=14);② model group(model/SCIRI group,n=14);and ③ treatment group(MT group,n=14).Neurological function analysis was used to assess the motor conditions of rats in each group.Nissl staining and hematoxylin eosin(HE)staining were used to observe the number and morphology of neurons in each group,and TUNEL staining was used to evaluate the occurrence of apoptosis of neurons in each group.The expression levels of NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3(NLRP3),apoptosis-associated speck-like protein(ASC),gasdermin D(GSDMD),the N-terminal fragment of gasdermin D(GSDMD-N),and cysteine proteinase 1(caspase-1)were evaluated using immunofluorescence,immunohistochemistry staining,and Western blot analysis.Results:Compared with the sham operation group,the neurological function score of the model group was significantly decreased,while the neurological function score of the treatment group was higher than that of the model group(P＜0.05).The model group had fewer Nissl corpuscles compared with that in the sham operation group and abnormal neuronal morphology(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the treatment group had a rise in the number of Nissl corpuscles and restored neuronal morphology(P＜0.05).Compared with the Sham group,the number of apoptotic neurons increased in the model group,and the protein expression levels of NLRP3,ASC,GSDMD,and caspase-1 increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,The number of apoptotic neurons and the protein expressions of NLRP3,ASC,GSDMD and caspase-1 in the treatment group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusions:MT may alleviate spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting pyroptosis in neurons.
