OBJECTIVES:
The neurotoxicity of carbon monoxide (CO) to the central nervous system is a key pathogenesis of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP). Our previous study found that retinoic acid (RA) can suppress the neurotoxic effects of CO. This study further explores, in vivo and in vitro, the molecular mechanisms by which RA alleviates CO-induced central nervous system damage.
METHODS:
A cytotoxic model was established using the mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line HT22 and primary oligodendrocytes exposed to CO, and a DEACMP animal model was established in adult Kunming mice. Cell viability and apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes were assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and Annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) double staining. The transcriptional and protein expression of each gene was detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG15 and LINGO-1 were knocked down or overexpressed to observe changes in neurons and oligodendrocytes. In DEACMP mice, SNHG15 or LINGO-1 were knocked down to assess changes in central nervous tissue and downstream protein expression.
RESULTS:
RA at 10 and 20 μmol/L significantly reversed CO-induced apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes, downregulation of SNHG15 and LINGO-1, and upregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) (all P<0.05). Overexpression of SNHG15 or LINGO-1 weakened the protective effect of RA against CO-induced cytotoxicity (all P<0.05). Knockdown of SNHG15 or LINGO-1 alleviated CO-induced apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes and upregulated BDNF and TrkB expression levels (all P<0.05). Experiments in DEACMP model mice showed that knockdown of SNHG15 or LINGO-1 mitigated central nervous system injury in DEACMP (all P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
RA alleviates CO-induced apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes, thereby reducing central nervous system injury and exerting neuroprotective effects. LncRNA SNHG15 and LINGO-1 are key molecules mediating RA-induced inhibition of neuronal apoptosis and are associated with the BDNF/TrkB pathway. These findings provide a theoretical framework for optimizing the clinical treatment of DEACMP and lay an experimental foundation for elucidating its molecular mechanisms.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of emotional catharsis on the mental health status, coping style and satisfaction with the intervention among adolescents in Nanchong in the post-pandemic period. MethodsCompletely random sampling method was used to recruit 390 adolescents from 2 general secondary schools, 2 county secondary schools and 2 universities in Nanchong from January 2021 to April 2022. The subjects were divided into study group (n=195) and control group (n=195) by random number table method. The study group received emotional catharsis intervention. The control group received self-regulation and relaxation without any other intervention. Interventions for both groups lasted for 3 months. Before and after the intervention, the mental health status and coping style of the adolescents were assessed using the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ). Also, the participants rated the satisfaction with the intervention via self-made satisfaction questionnaire after the intervention. ResultsAfter intervention, the total SCL-90 score of study group was lower than that of control group (t=68.312, P<0.01). In terms of SCSQ, study group scored higher on the positive coping dimension (t=30.488, P<0.01), and lower on negative coping dimension (t=46.562, P<0.01) than those of control group. There were 190 (98.96%) cases satisfied with the intervention in the study group and 175 (89.74%) cases in the control group, the difference of intervention satisfaction rate between the two groups was statistically significant (χ²=15.321, P<0.01). ConclusionIn the post-pandemic period, emotional catharsis may be conducive to improve the mental health status and coping style among adolescents in Nanchong, and adolescents have high levels of satisfaction with the intervention.

Cancer immunotherapy can effectively inhibit cancer progression by activating the autoimmune system, with low toxicity and high effectiveness. Some of cancer immunotherapy had positive effects on clinical cancer treatment. However, cancer immunotherapy is still restricted by cancer heterogeneity, immune cell disability, tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment and systemic immune toxicity. Cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (CMCNs) inherit abundant source cell-relevant functions, including "self" markers, cross-talking with the immune system, biological targeting, and homing to specific regions. These enable them to possess preferred characteristics, including better biological compatibility, weak immunogenicity, immune escaping, a prolonged circulation, and tumor targeting. Therefore, they are applied to precisely deliver drugs and promote the effect of cancer immunotherapy. In the review, we summarize the latest researches of biomimetic CMCNs for cancer immunotherapy, outline the existing specific cancer immune therapies, explore the unique functions and molecular mechanisms of various cell membrane-coated nanoparticles, and analyze the challenges which CMCNs face in clinical translation.

Objective:To investigate the exposure level of ionizing radiation in medical radiation workers in Guangdong province, as well as their abnormality in the lens of the eye, and to analyze associated influence factors.Methods:In this study, 1 501 radiation workers from 60 hospitals were selected by using convenient sampling method for retrospecotive analysis of absorbed doses ( DL) to the lens of the eye, health examination information and the relevant influence factors. Results:The median value M and the 25 th and 75 th percentile values ( P25, P75)of the distribution of absorbed doses were 4.86, 2.99 and 7.90 mGy, respectively. The median values for male and female were 5.14 and 3.94 mGy, respectively. The median values for the Levels I, Ⅱ and Ⅲ medical institutions were 2.95, 3.51 and 5.06 mGy, respectively. The median values were radiotherapy 4.05 mGy, radiodiagnosis 4.84 mGy, interventional radiology 5.39 mGy and nuclear medicine 6.71 mGy, as well as nurses 3.48 mGy, physicians 5.03 mGy and technologists 5.03 mGy, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in dose distribution for different gender, age, length of radiation service, age at the beginning of radiation exposure, level of medical institution, occupational category and post ( Z=-6.72, H=389.64, 511.17, 70.29, 53.29, 49.06, 39.89, P<0.05). The detectable rate for increased cortical density of lens was 22.45% (337/1 501) and for lens turbidity was 8.19% (123/1 501). The detectable rate of increased cortical density showed a linear increasing trend with the increase in age, age of radiation service, age at the beginning of exposure to radiation, level of medical institution and dose ( χ2=366.36, 313.77, 15.18, 21.61, 92.13, P<0.05). The detectable rate of lens opacity increased linearly with the increase in age, length of radiation service, level of medical institution and dose( χ2=69.64, 67.65, 67.65, 37.37, P<0.05), and decreased linearly with the increase in age at the beginning of radiation exposure ( χ2=4.25, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age was the influencing factor of increased cortical density ( χ2=165.98, P<0.05), and the risk of cortical densification increased with age ( OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.27-1.39). Age, length of radiation service and occupation were the influencing factors of lens opacity ( χ2=25.78, 4.99, 6.88, P<0.05). The risk of lens opacity increased with age ( OR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.10-1.24). The risk of lens opacity increased with age of radiation service ( OR=1.06, 95% CI: 1.01-1.12). The risk of ocular opacity was higher in interventional radiology than that in diagnostic radiology, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine ( OR=2.59, 95% CI: 1.27-5.25). Conclusions:Long-term exposure to low dose ionizing radiation has a certain correlation with the abnormal lens detectable rate of medical radiation workers. Age, length of radiation service and occupation are the influencing factors of lens opacity.
