Objective :
To investigate the effects of cinnamaldehyde(CA) on the growth, metastasis and apoptosis of human endometriosis(EMs) cells and to explore whether the mechanism is related to ribosomal protein S7(RPS7) expression.
Methods :
Endometriosis cells were divided into control group, CA group, sh-NC group, CA+sh-RPS7 group. Effects of CA on cell growth in human endometriotic cells were determined using Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8) and colony formation assay. Effects of CA on cell metastasis were performed by motility assay and Transwell assay. Effects of CA on cell apoptosis were evaluated by Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry. Meanwhile, the levels of PCNA, E-cadherin, Vimentin, Bax and Bcl-2 were evaluated using Western blot in human endometriotic cells with treatment CA. The expression of RPS7 was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot assay. The RPS7 overexpression of human endometriotic cells was established by cell transfection. CA-mediated effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry in human endometriotic cells with RPS7 overexpression.
Results :
CA repressed cell growth as well as down-regulated PCNA. The half inhibitory concentration(IC50) value was 53.60 μmol/L after 24 h treatment, and colony formation rate was 25.32%. Additionally, CA inhibited metastasis which was associated with downregulated Vimentin and upregulated E-cadherin. The relative migration rates were 35% and 29% as well as invasion rate was 40%. Further, CA induced apoptosis by cell cycle G2/M phase arrest and cell apoptosis rate was 25.1%, which related to the up-regulation of of Bax and the down-regulation of Bcl-2. CA inhibited the expression of RPS7 and overexpression of RPS7 promoted cell proliferation and suppressed apoptosis in CA-mediated cells.
Conclusion
CA inhibits cell growth, metastasis, and induces cell apoptosis by downregulating the expression of RPS7.

BACKGROUND:
The HELIOS stent is a sirolimus-eluting stent with a biodegradable polymer and titanium oxide film as the tie-layer. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HELIOS stent in a real-world setting.
METHODS:
The HELIOS registry is a prospective, multicenter, cohort study conducted at 38 centers across China between November 2018 and December 2019. A total of 3060 consecutive patients were enrolled after application of minimal inclusion and exclusion criteria. The primary endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF), defined as a composite of cardiac death, non-fatal target vessel myocardial infarction (MI), and clinically indicated target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 1-year follow-up. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate the cumulative incidence of clinical events and construct survival curves.
RESULTS:
A total of 2998 (98.0%) patients completed the 1-year follow-up. The 1-year incidence of TLF was 3.10% (94/2998, 95% closed interval: 2.54-3.78%). The rates of cardiac death, non-fatal target vessel MI and clinically indicated TLR were 2.33% (70/2998), 0.20% (6/2998), and 0.70% (21/2998), respectively. The rate of stent thrombosis was 0.33% (10/2998). Age ≥60 years, diabetes mellitus, family history of coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction at admission, and device success were independent predictors of TLF at 1 year.
CONCLUSION:
The 1-year incidence rates of TLF and stent thrombosis were 3.10% and 0.33%, respectively, in patients treated with HELIOS stents. Our results provide clinical evidence for interventional cardiologists and policymakers to evaluate HELIOS stent.

Objective:To explore the effect of staged intervention based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) on breastfeeding self-efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) .Methods:From January to May 2019, continuous sampling was used to select 380 delivery women who were diagnosed with GDM in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria as the research object. According to the random number table method, the delivery women were divided into the control group and the intervention group, 190 cases in each group. The delivery women in the control group received routine breastfeeding health education, while the delivery women in the intervention group implemented the TPB-based staged intervention on the basis of routine breastfeeding health education. The exclusive breastfeeding rate, knowledge and self-efficacy were compared between the two groups. As of four months postpartum, 169 delivery women were included in the intervention group and 157 delivery women in the control group.Results:The exclusive breastfeeding rate of delivery women in the intervention group at four months postpartum was 63.3% (107/169) , which was higher than that [47.1% (74/157) ] in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . The breastfeeding knowledge scores of the intervention group and the control group were (15.01±2.04) and (13.05±2.78) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The GDM breastfeeding knowledge scores were (8.86±1.85) and (4.80±2.76) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . There were significant differences in breastfeeding self-efficacy scores between the two groups at 38 to 40 weeks before delivery, three days, 42 days, and four months after delivery ( P<0.01) . There were significant differences in the exclusive breastfeeding rates between the two groups of GDM women at different time points ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The staged intervention based on TPB can improve the effect of breastfeeding in GDM women, enhance maternal knowledge and self-efficacy, and increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding.

Objective:
To investigate the correlation between body composition and eating habits among medical students, and to provide evidence for health promotion.
Methods:
In December 2021, stratified cluster random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey and body composition assessment among 445 students in grade one to grade four in Jining Medical University.
Results:
There were 152 girls (53.3%) and 45 boys (28.1%) with low skeletal muscle mass. Totally 167 students ( 37.5% ) had lower muscle mass, including 115 females (40.4%) and 49 males (30.6%). High body fat percentage was found in 259 (58.2%) students, including 179 females (62.8%) and 80 males (50.0%). There were 192 students (43.1%) with abnormal waist to hip ratio, with 139 females (48.8%) and 53 males (33.1%). In addition, emotional eating score of female students was significantly higher than that of male students(6.85±2.24, 6.11±2.69, t =2.96, P <0.05). Cognitive restricted eating was positively correlated with skeletal muscle mass and musde mass( r=0.13, 0.13, P <0.05). Emotional eating was positively correlated with body fat percentage, body fat and waist hip ratio( r =0.20, 0.20, 0.16, P <0.05). Unrestricted eating was positively correlated with body fat percentage, body fat and waist hip ratio( r =0.15, 0.18, 0.15, P <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, family residence, physical activity and cognitive eating were associated with skeletal muscle mass and muscle mass of medical students( P <0.05).
Conclusion
With low skeletal muscle mass, low muscle mass, body fat percentage and waist and hip high ratio, reasonable eating habits combined with resistance exercise should be adopted to improve their physical health.

Objective To analyze and compare pore characteristics and mechanical properties of models with solid and sheet triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures, and build a porous structure with high specific surface area, low stiffness and high strength. Methods The solid TPMS and sheet TPMS models of D, G, and P units with the same porosity were established, and pore characteristics of the model such as pore diameter, rod diameter and specific surface area were compared; mechanical properties of the model were analyzed by finite element method. The porous titanium samples were made by additive manufacturing technology, pore characteristics of porous titanium were observed by microscope and scanning electron microscope, and mechanical properties of porous titanium were detected by compression test. Results The specific surface area of the sheet structure with the same unit was significantly higher than that of the solid structure; mechanical properties of the sheet structure with the same were significantly better than those of the solid structure. Among them, the D unit sheet TPMS model had the most significant advantages, with the specific surface area of 13.00 mm-1, and the elastic modulus, yield strength and compressive strength of the sheet porous titanium sample were (5.65±0.08) GPa, (181.03±1.30) MPa and (239.83±0.45) MPa, respectively, which were 43.87%, 55.08% and 67.21% higher than those of the solid porous titanium sample. Conclusions While retaining low rigidity of the porous structure, the sheet TPMS model of the same unit has a larger specific surface area, which is beneficial for cell adhesion and growth, and its low stiffness and high strength mechanical properties can effectively reduce stress shielding and provide sufficient mechanical support. It is an ideal pore structure model for bone defect repair substitutes.

The aim of this study was to screen the active regions and transcription factor binding sites in the promoter of the CBD103 gene related to Arctic fox coat color, and to provide a basis for revealing the molecular genetic mechanism of CBD103 gene regulating the coat color formation. The 5'-flanking region fragment 2 123 bp of Arctic fox CBD103 gene was cloned, and 4 truncated promoter reporter vectors of different lengths were constructed. The promoter activity was detected by the dual-luciferase reporter assay system. Point mutations were performed on the 3 predicted specificity protein 1 (Sp1) transcription factor binding sites in the highest promoter active region, and 3 mutant vectors were constructed. The activity was then detected by the dual-luciferase reporter assay system. The results showed that the region 1 656 (-1 604/+51) had the highest activity in the 4 truncated promoters of different lengths, and the promoter activity of the three mutant vectors constructed in this region were significantly lower than that of the wild type (fragment 1 656). The region of -1 604 /+51 was the core promoter region of CBD103 gene in Arctic fox and -1 552/-1 564, -1 439/-1 454 and -329/-339 regions were positive regulatory regions. This study successfully obtained the core promoter region and positive regulation regions of the Arctic fox CBD103 gene, which laid a foundation for further study on the molecular genetic mechanism of this gene regulating Arctic fox coat color.
