Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) has been considered as an inevitable process of liver transplantation. Hepatocyte ferroptosis is a key factor in HIRI development, yet precise mechanism and potential therapies are still unclear. Here, we demonstrated a strong correlation between hepatocyte ferroptosis and the downregulation of poly(rC)-binding protein (PCBP2), which compromised the stability of antiporter system Xc- (consisted of SL3A2/SLC7A11). Besides, inhibiting PCBP2 contributed to facilitating cofactor p300 to enhance the transcriptional activity of HIF1α, leading to the expression and secretion of HMGB1. Then, released HMGB1 from ferroptotic hepatocytes worsened M1 macrophage recruitment and immune response during HIRI. Additionally, acteoside (ACT) was shown to assist PCBP2 in stabilizing the mRNA stability of Slc3a2 and Slc7a11, as well as enhance the binding affinity of PCBP2-system Xc-. Beyond that, ACT also supported PCBP2 to limit HMGB1-induced M1 macrophage recruitment through imposing restrictions on p300 and HIF1α. Furthermore, specific knockdown of PCBP2 in hepatocytes directly interposed the therapeutic efficacy of ACT on HIRI mice. In conclusion, ACT alleviated hepatocyte ferroptosis and HIRI via promoting PCBP2 to maintain the stability of system Xc- and limit HIF1α/p300-HMGB1 signaling. These findings highlight the therapeutic benefits of ACT in treating HIRI and offer insights into innovative therapeutic strategies.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between EOS level and hormone therapy effect and prognosis of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).Methods:From January 2016 to June 2018, 120 patients with AECOPD were selected in the Fifth People's Hospital of Datong.According to EOS levels, all patients were divided into two groups, including EOS ≥2% group(56 cases) and EOS<2% group(64 cases). The general clinical data and treatment related indicators of patients with different EOS levels were compared, and the clinical value of EOS level in predicting the risk of severe AECOPD recurrence and death of patients were evaluated.Results:The levels of WBC, N%, NLR and CRP of the EOS≥2% group were significantly lower than those of the EOS<2% group[(6.89±1.16)×10 9/L, (69.08±12.79)%, (3.54±1.16), (5.30±1.18)mg/L vs.(8.45±1.85)×10 9/L, (76.42±16.58)%, (6.08±1.42), (7.43±1.77)mg/L]( t=5.27, 4.81, 4.65, 2.58, all P<0.05). The used time of antibiotics of the EOS≥2% group was significantly shorter than that of the EOS<2% group[8.0(6.0, 10.0)d vs.9.0(7.0, 11.0)d]( U=2.46, P<0.05). The time of hormone therapy and hospitalization time of the EOS≥2% group were significantly shorter than those of the EOS<2% group[9.0(7.0, 11.0)d, 10.0(9.0, 12.0)d vs.11.0(7.0, 13.0)d, 12.0(10.0, 13.0)d]( U=2.79, 2.56, all P<0.05). The proportion of CAT score decreased ≥2 points at 7d after treatment of the EOS≥2% group was significantly higher than that of the EOS<2% group[86.84% vs.68.18%](χ 2=2.84, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that EOS≥2% was the independent risk factor for severe AECOPD recurrence and death( OR=2.84, 95% CI: 1.49~5.03, P<0.05). There was no relationship between EOS level and death risk ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Serum EOS level can independently predict the clinical effect of hormone therapy and prognosis in patients with AECOPD, and clinicians can make more reasonable clinical treatment plan accordingly.

Objective To explore the mutual relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) level with metabolic syndrome (MD) and its factors among the physical examination population.Methods A total of 8 285 people undergoing the physical check-up in a hospital in 2013 were selected by sampling and conducted the physical measurement and biochemical detection;the subjects were grouped according to the MS diagnostic standard,gender and SUA.Then the correlation between SUA and MS was analyzed.Results The age,BMI,SBP,DBP,FPG,TG and SUA in the MS patients were significantly higher than those in the patients without MS,while the HDL-C level was significantly lower.The occurrence rate of MS in males was higher than females.With the increase of MS factors,the SUA level showed the overall rising trend;the multiple stepwise regression analysis indicated that BMI,DBP and TG were positively correlated with SUA,and the HDL-C level was negatively correlated with the SUA level.The regression equation was Y =-2.135 + 0.066X1 +0.010X2 +0.155X3-0.379X4;the MS detection rate in the HUA group was higher than that in the non-HUA group;in the single factor Logistic regression analysis,the SUA level was significantly related with the MS occurrence (OR=1.007,95%CI 0.006-1.007,P<0.05),in the SUA diagnostic value for M,AUC in male and female were 0.608 (95 %CI 0.582-0.634,P<0.01) and 0.744 (95 %CI 0.705-0.783,P<0.01) respectively,the MS best critical diagnostic points in male and female were 360.5 and 256.5,the corresponding diagnostic sensitivities in male and female were 46.49% and 71.94%,the specificities in male and female were 69.94% and 69.94% respectively.Conclusion The SUA level is closely associated with MS,and SUA level has a good predictive effect for MS.

Objective To investigate the sleep quality of inland military officers and soldiers stationed and trained at plateau and its possible influence factors.Methods A total of 459 military officers and soldiers stationed and trained at plateau were performed the on site psychological assessment by adopting the psychological stress self-evaluation test (PSET),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI),work related fatigue feelings (WRFFQ) and self compiled general data questionnaire.Results (1) The mean value of overall sleep quality in militaries stationed and trained at plateau was 5.61-±-3.48.40.5 % of respondents had good sleep quality,25.3% had poor sleep quality and 34.2% had general sleep quality.(2)The fatigue and psychological stress scores in the militaries with poor sleep quality were significantly higher than those in the militaries with good sleep quality (t1 =10.70,t2 =-9.68,P<0.01).(3)The psychological stress,fatigue degree,confidence level of self-assessment health status had significantly positive correlation(r =0.517,0.488,0.259,0.352,P< 0.01).(4) The psychological stress,fatigue degree,confidence level of self-assessment health status entered the PSQI total score regression equation,moreover the predictive variation amount was 36.1%.Conclusion The psychological stress status and fatigue level in the militaries at plateau affect the sleep quality,and the confidence degree and health status assessment of officers and soldiers on exercise also produce the active influence on sleep.
