BACKGROUND:In recent years,improving the health of skeletal muscles through exercise has become an important research concern for scholars.Appropriate exercise has a positive effect on skeletal muscles.Among them,how to activate the sphingosine kinase1(SphK1)/sphingosine-1-phase(S1P)/sphingosine-1-phase receptor2(S1PR2)signaling pathway during exercise so as to improve the health of skeletal muscles is receiving attention from researchers. OBJECTIVE:To investigate how exercise improves the health of skeletal muscles through the SphK1/S1P/S1PR2 signaling pathway,and to explore new methods for treating related muscle diseases in order to improve human skeletal muscle health. METHODS:The first author searched for relevant literature from the establishment of the database to the present in the Web of Science,PubMed,CNKI,WanFang,and VIP databases.The search terms were"signaling pathway,SphK1,S1P,S1PR2,skeletal muscle,satellite cell,myogenesis,exercise"in Chinese and English.Finally,69 articles were included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The SphK1/S1P/S1PR2 signaling pathway is a complex regulatory network that triggers downstream signal transduction processes by SphK1 to catalyze the interaction between S1P and receptors such as S1PR2,thereby regulating multiple biological functions of cells,tissues,organs,and systems.The SphK1/S1P/S1PR2 signaling pathway can regulate satellite cell proliferation and myoblast differentiation,improving myogenesis.The physiological basis of the SphK1/S1P/S1PR2 signaling pathway and the potential impact of exercise on it were analyzed through literature research.Acute aerobic exercise can increase the expression of SphK1 in skeletal muscle.Both human and animal studies have confirmed that acute and long-term exercise can increase the expression of S1P in skeletal muscle.In addition,studies have shown that long-term resistance exercise can increase the expression of S1PR2 in skeletal muscle.Some experimental results indicate that acute and long-term exercise have no significant effect on muscle or blood S1P levels,and the reason for different results may be due to different research subjects,methods,intensities,and frequencies selected,while the specific mechanism is not yet clear.Research suggests that exercise can promote the expression of the SphK1/S1P/S1PR2 signaling pathway in skeletal muscle and regulate downstream related signaling pathways.Research on this signaling pathway may provide new strategies and methods for the treatment of skeletal muscle diseases,thereby improving skeletal muscle health.In the future,we should deepen the research on the association between SphK1/S1P/S1PR2 signaling pathway and skeletal muscle health,further reveal its regulatory relationship with satellite cells and myoblasts as well as its interactions with the upstream and downstream pathways,explore its clinical application value,take into account the changes of this pathway when formulating the rehabilitation program,explore the specific mechanisms by which different types of exercise affect the SphK1/S1P/S1PR2 signaling pathway in skeletal muscles,and use the SphK1/S1P/S1PR2 signaling pathway as a potential therapeutic target for diseases.Further development and application of human muscle models should be developed to improve research depth and accuracy.

Objective To analyze the distribution of platelet antibodies in hospitalized patients and explore the clinical significance of platelet antibody detection. Methods A total of 95 987 hospitalized patient cases from a tertiary hospital in Xi'an from April 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023 were collected. Platelet antibodies were detected by solid-phase agglutination method. Statistical analysis was performed on variables including gender, age, blood type, department, history of blood transfusion, pregnancy history, and disease type. Results Among 95 987 hospitalized patients, the positive rate of platelet antibody detection reached 4.35%. The positive rate of platelet antibodies in female hospitalized patients (5.29%) was higher than that in male patients (3.31%), and the difference was statistically significant (x²=224.124). The positive rate of platelet antibodies in those with pregnancy history (7.92%) was higher than that in those without pregnancy history (4.19%), and the difference was significant (x²=292.773). Similarly, the positive rate of platelet antibodies in those with transfusion history (7.79%) was higher than that in those without transfusion history (3.97%), and the difference was significant (x²=300.209). There was a significant correlation between the positive rate of platelet antibodies and the number of pregnancies (x²=91.061). Conclusion The positive rate of platelet antibodies in 95 987 inpatient cases was 4.35%. The positive rate of platelet antibodies had a close relationship with a history of blood transfusions and pregnancies, and it increased with the number of pregnancies. For patients with multiple transfusion histories and pregnancy histories, screening for platelet antibodies holds significant diagnostic value.

Objective:To determine the prevalence of self-reported food allergies among children in the grasslands of North China and to analyze its associated risk factors.Methods:In this study, a cross-sectional epidemiological survey method was used to select children under 14 years old by multi-stage, stratified and random cluster sampling in the grassland ecological area of Zhangbei County, Hebei Province, China from May to July 2018. Face-to-face questionnaires were administered to gather food allergy-related information from the participants. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors associated with self-reported food allergy.Results:A total of 2 086 children completed the survey. The prevalence of self-reported food allergies was 22.0%(459/2 086). The prevalence of multiple food allergies (≥3 types) was 3.1%(64/2 086) versus 16.3% (341/2 086) for a single food allergy among all children. Mango allergy (6.1%, 127/2 086) was the most common, followed by peach allergy (4.1%, 85/2 086). Children who reported food allergies had a significantly higher prevalence of all 4 atopic disorders (eczema, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and allergic conjunctivitis than those without food allergies(35.73% vs. 20.65%, 5.88% vs. 2.77%, 17.86% vs. 7.38%, 16.78% vs. 10.45%, χ2 =44.663 1, 10.434 3, 45.038 3, 13.728 4, all P<0.001).Significantly associated risk factors of food allergy were found to be pollen allergy ( OR: 2.29; 95% CI: 1.80-2.92) and drug allergy ( OR: 1.53; 95% CI: 1.12-2.09). Conclusions:The prevalence of self-reported food allergies among children in the Zhangbei County area of the North China Grassland was relatively high. Pollen allergy and drug allergy are major risk factors.

Sigma-1 receptor (σ ₁R) has become a focus point of drug discovery for central nervous system (CNS) diseases. A series of novel 1-phenylethan-1-one O-(2-aminoethyl) oxime derivatives were synthesized. In vitro biological evaluation led to the identification of 1a, 14a, 15d and 16d as the most high-affinity (K _i < 4 nmol/L) and selective σ ₁R agonists. Among these, 15d, the most metabolically stable derivative exhibited high selectivity for σ ₁R in relation to σ ₂R and 52 other human targets. In addition to low CYP450 inhibition and induction, 15d also exhibited high brain permeability and excellent oral bioavailability. Importantly, 15d demonstrated effective antipsychotic potency, particularly for alleviating negative symptoms and improving cognitive impairment in experimental animal models, both of which are major challenges for schizophrenia treatment. Moreover, 15d produced no significant extrapyramidal symptoms, exhibiting superior pharmacological profiles in relation to current antipsychotic drugs. Mechanistically, 15d inhibited GSK3β and enhanced prefrontal BDNF expression and excitatory synaptic transmission in pyramidal neurons. Collectively, these in vivo proof-of-concept findings provide substantial experimental evidence to demonstrate that modulating σ ₁R represents a potential new therapeutic approach for schizophrenia. The novel chemical entity along with its favorable drug-like and pharmacological profile of 15d renders it a promising candidate for treating schizophrenia.
