Objective:To evaluate the role of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) in postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and the relationship with pyroptosis in hippocampal cells in aged mice.Methods:Forty-eight SPF healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 18 months, weighing 23-28 g, were assigned to 4 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table method: control group (C group), POCD group (P group), STING inhibitor C-176 group (PC group), and C-176 solvent group (PV group). The mice underwent Morris water maze training for 4 days prior to model establishment. Mice in P, PC and PV groups underwent tibial fracture and intramedullary pin fixation under sevoflurane anesthesia to establish the POCD model, while mice in C group received no treatment. The STING inhibitor C-176 (750 nmol/200 μl) and an equal volume of C-176 solvent were intraperitoneally injected at 30 min before establishment of the model in PC and PV groups, respectively. The open field test was performed on the 5th day after model preparation, the novel object recognition test was conducted on the 6th day, and the Morris water maze test was performed on the 7th day. Mice were sacrificed under anesthesia to collect the hippocampus for determination of the expression of STING, phosphorylated STING (p-STING), nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), cleaved caspase-1, and gasdermin-D (GSDMD)-NT by Western blot. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the parameters of the training phase of the Morris water maze test and the open field test among the four groups ( P>0.05). Compared with C group, the recognition index in the novel object recognition test was significantly decreased, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced and the duration spent in the target quadrant was shortened in the Morris water maze test, and the expression of STING, NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, and GSDMD-NT in hippocampal neurons was up-regulated in P, PC and PV groups, and the expression of p-STING was significantly up-regulated in P and PV groups ( P<0.05). Compared with P group, the recognition index in the novel object recognition test was significantly increased, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced and the duration spent in the target quadrant was prolonged in the Morris water maze test, and the expression of p-STING, NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, and GSDMD-NT in hippocampal neurons was down-regulated in PC group ( P<0.05). Compared with PC group, the recognition index in the novel object recognition test was significantly decreased, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced and the duration spent in the target quadrant was shortened in the Morris water maze test, and the expression of p-STING, NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1 and GSDMD-NT was up-regulated in PV group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:STING is involved in the development of POCD in aged mice, and the mechanism may be related to promotion of pyroptosis in hippocampal cells.

Objective:To gain a understanding of the occurrence of cognitive impairment among residents in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis (drinking water-borne fluorosis) areas, and to study its influencing factors.Methods:In March 2023, a cluster sampling method was used to select local residents aged 18 and above from the drinking water-borne fluorosis areas in Jishan County, Shanxi Province as survey subjects. General demographic data were collected through face-to-face surveys, and a random urine sample was collected once to determine urinary fluoride level. Cognitive function was assessed using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), and the survey subjects were divided into a cognitive impairment group ( < 27 points) and a control group (27 - 30 points) based on the MMSE scores. A multiple logistic regression model and a decision tree model based on chi-squared automatic interaction detector were constructed to analyze the factors affecting cognitive impairment, and the model fitting effect was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:A total of 3 301 subjects were included in the survey, including 2 081 females and 1 220 males. There were 1 515 subjects < 60 years old and 1 786 subjects ≥60 years old, with urinary fluoride level [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 2.92 (1.78, 4.54) mg/L. There were 1 939 cases in the cognitive impairment group and 1 362 cases in the control group, with a detection rate of 58.74% (1 939/3 301) for cognitive impairment; and the differences in gender, age, education level, marital status, annual household income, alcohol consumption, smoking distribution, and urinary fluoride level between the two groups were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that female, ≥60 years, and urinary fluoride > 4.54 mg/L were risk factors for cognitive impairment [ OR (95% CI): 1.25 (1.01, 1.54), 2.66 (2.26, 3.14), 1.32 (1.06, 1.65), P < 0.05]. Education level of primary school or above, annual household income≥12 000 yuan, and mild alcohol consumption were protective factors for cognitive impairment [ OR (95% CI): 0.15 (0.09, 0.25), 0.58 (0.48, 0.68), 0.67 (0.51, 0.87), P < 0.05]. The analysis results of the decision tree model showed that age had the greatest impact on the occurrence of cognitive impairment, followed by annual household income, education level, and urinary fluoride. The areas under the ROC curves of the multiple logistic regression and decision tree model were 0.72 and 0.70 ( P < 0.001), respectively, indicating good model fitting performance. Conclusion:The detection rate of cognitive impairment in residents of drinking water-borne fluorosis areas is relatively high, and age, annual household income, education level, and urinary fluoride are all influencing factors for occurrence of cognitive impairment.

Objective:To study the impact of fluoride exposure through drinking water on the risk of hypertension among residents in Jishan County, Shanxi Province.Methods:From March to April 2023, a cluster sampling method was used to select permanent residents aged ≥18 years and residing for ≥10 years in 12 villages in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Jishan County, Shanxi Province as the survey subjects. A questionnaire survey, physical examination, and morning urinary fluoride level testing were conducted. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regression were used to analyze the key influencing factors of hypertension. Restricted cubic spline was used to evaluate the linear relationship between urinary fluoride and hypertension. Logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of urinary fluoride on hypertension.Results:Finally, 2 453 survey subjects were included, aged (62 ± 10) years, including 1 565 patients (63.80%) with hypertension. There were significant differences in the distribution of age, gender, education level, annual household income, body mass index (BMI), and the level and distribution of urinary fluoride between hypertension group and normal blood pressure group ( P < 0.05). The Lasso regression results showed that age, education level, BMI, and urinary fluoride were the key influencing factors of hypertension, with coefficients of 1.04, - 0.12, 0.24 and 0.01, respectively. The results of the restricted cubic spline showed that there was a linear relationship between urinary fluoride and hypertension after adjusting for age, education level, and BMI ( Poverall = 0.018, Pnonlinear = 0.482). The logistic regression results showed that after adjusting for age, education level, and BMI, urinary fluoride > 4.68 mg/L was a risk factor for hypertension ( OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.10 - 1.84, P = 0.007). Conclusion:High urinary fluoride is a risk factor for hypertension in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Jishan County, Shanxi Province.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the repeatability and reliability of a self-developed domestic wireless surface electromyography (sEMG) system (Oralmetry) in assessing the activity of the temporalis and masseter muscles to provide theoretical support for its clinical application. METHODS: Twenty-two volunteers were recruited. Through multiple repeated measurements, the sEMG signals of bilateral anterior temporalis and masseter muscles during maximum voluntary clenching were collected using the self-developed sEMG device, Oralmetry, and two commercial sEMG devices (Zebris and Teethan), filtered, screened, and standardized. Seven sEMG indicators for assessing masticatory muscle function were calculated. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the repeatability of the measurements from the three sEMG devices, and statistical analysis was conducted to compare the consistency of the seven sEMG indicators obtained from the devices. RESULTS: Among the 22 participants, the ICC values of the repeated measurements from the three sEMG devices ranged from 0.88 to 0.99. The measurements of three sEMG indicators (antero-posterior coeffificient, percentage overlapping coeffificient_MM, and percentage overlapping coeffificient_TA) obtained by Zebris were significantly different from those obtained by Oralmetry and Teethan (P<0.05). No significant differences in the measurements of the seven sEMG indicators were found between Oralmetry and Teethan. CONCLUSIONS Oralmetry and the two commercial sEMG devices demonstrated good repeatability in capturing sEMG indicators for evaluating masticatory muscle function. In particular, Oralmetry showed the highest ICC values. All three devices also exhibited good consistency in measuring sEMG indicators, and a high agreement was observed between the two wireless sEMG devices (Oralmetry and Teethan). These findings provide theoretical support for the clinical application of Oralmetry.

Objective:To establish a rapid detection method for pathogenic microorganisms by combining loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP)and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 12a(Cas12a)(CRISPR-Cas12a)system,and to evaluate its efficacy for detecting the thermolabile hemolysin(tlh)gene of Vibrio parahaemolyticus(Vp).Methods:Using the tlh gene of Vp as the target gene,LAMP primers and CRISPR RNA(crRNA)were designed to construct and optimize the optimal concentration ratio of each component in the LAMP-CRISPR detection system.Bacillus cereus,Staphylococcus aureus,and Escherichia coli were used as control groups,and the specificity,sensitivity,reproducibility and positive conformity rate were verified to establish a rapid LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a method for detecting the tlh gene of Vp.Results:The method specifically detected Vp,while Bacillus cereus,Staphylococcus aureus,and Escherichia coli yielded negative results.The DNA extraction concentration of Vp was 190.67 mg·L-1 with an A(260)/(A280)ratio of 1.84.Under the reaction conditions of 37℃ with 80 cycles for 40 min using quantitative PCR(qPCR)method,when the concentrations of Cas12a protein and crRNA in the LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a system were 50 nmol·L-1,the visual brightness and relative fluorescence intensity peaks were high.The sensitivity of LAMP CRISPR/Cas12a for detecting Vp DNA concentration could reach 10-6 mg·L-1.The reproducibility test results showed that different experimenters had consistent results in different experimental environments and times.Conclusion:The established LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a method can rapidly detect the tlh gene of Vp with high sensitivity and specificity,and can achieve short-term visual detection in the field.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the elderly,and its main pathological manifestations include senile plaques formed by β-amyloid deposition and neuronal fibrillar nodules formed by hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins.Lysosome is an important organelle in eukaryotic cells,containing a variety of hydrolytic enzymes that can break down proteins and other biomolecules.It is closely related to intracellular transport and autophagy,and is important for maintaining cellular homeostasis.This review summarizes the interaction between lysosomal dysfunction and the development and progression of AD and the potential therapeutic mechanisms in treating AD by regulating and restoring the functions of lysosomes.Lysosomal dysfunction can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.Modulation of lysosomal function is a promising treatment strategy for AD.It is expected that more drugs and therapeutic regimens based on this mechanism can be used in the clinical treatment for AD patients in the future.

OBJECTIVES: To detect prfA and hly toxin genes of Listeria monocytogenes using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and colloidal gold technology. METHODS: L. monocytogenes DNA was extracted by boiling method. With prfA and hly of L. monocytogenes as the target genes, the 5' ends of upstream and downstream primers of prfA gene were labeled with 6-FAM and biotin, and the 5' ends of upstream and downstream primers of hly gene were labeled with digoxin and biotin, respectively, to establish the toxin gene detection method. Using cloning transformation, sequencing analysis, cloning of positive control products, the detection kid was developed and its specificity, sensitivity, reproducibility and stability were tested, followed by verification with sample testing. RESULTS: The concentration of L. monocytogenes DNA extracted by boiling method was 148.81±0.97 ng/μL, and the A₂₆₀/A₂₈₀ ratio ranged from 1.8 to 2.0. The PCR products showed a 100% homology with the gene sequences in GenBank database after cloning, transformation and sequencing. The colloidal gold strip yielded positive results only for L. monocytogenes samples without cross-reactions with Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli or Bacillus cereus, and its minimum detection limit was 10^-2 ng/μL, demonstrating a 10-fold greater sensitivity of the test than agarose gel electrophoresis. The test also showed good reproducibility of the results when performed by different operators with good stability of the test strips after storage for 6 to 12 months. The test results showed that this kit could accurately and quickly detect L.monocytogenes in the test samples. CONCLUSIONS The detection kit developed in this study can simultaneously detect prfA and hly toxin genes of L. monocytogenes with good specificity, sensitivity, reproducibility and stability for use in food safety inspection.
