Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of calcium dobesilate on oxidative damage induced by high-glucose in Müller cells.Methods The oxidative damage model of Müller cells induced by high-glucose was established and the cells were divided into 4groups.The control group was cultured normally,and the high glucose group was cultured in the medium of 35mmol/L glucose.The control+calcium dobesilate group was treated with 0.5μmol/L calcium dobesilate intervention cells on the basis of routine culture,and the high sugar+calcium dobesilate group was treated with 0.5μmol/L calcium dobesilate intervention cells on the basis of high glucose.Cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8,apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,and oxidative stress markers were detected by the kit.Intracellular correction potassium channel subtype 4.1(Kir4.1)and aquaporin 4(AQP4)protein levels were detected by western blot.Results Compared with the control group,the proliferative activity of Müller cells of the high glucose group was decreased,apoptosis rate was increased,oxidative stress occurred,AQP4 protein expression level was increased and Kir4.1 protein level was decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the high glucose group,the cell activity and apoptosis rate of the high glucose+calcium do-besilate group were increased,the oxidative stress damage was alleviated,the AQP4 protein expression level was decreased and the Kir4.1 protein level was increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Calcium dobesilate may inhibit the oxidative damage of Müller cells induced by high-glucose by regulating the AQP4/Kir4.1 axis.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of cornuside on diabetic retinopathy(DR)in rats and ana-lyze the acting mechanism of the reactive oxygen species(ROS)/thioredoxin interacting protein(TXNIP)/NOD-like recep-tor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3)signaling pathway in this process.Methods A total of 56 suc-cessfully modeled DR rats were randomly divided into the model group,the cornuside 20 mg·kg-1 group,the cornuside 40 mg·kg-1 group,the calcium dobesilate 5.8 mg·kg-1 group,with 14 rats in each group;while,meanwhile another 14 healthy rats were selected as the control group.After the corresponding intervention of rats in each group,retinal tissue in-flammation,oxidative stress indicators,fasting blood glucose(FBG),and angiogenic factor levels were detected by the en-zyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transfer-ase dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL)staining were used to observe retinal histopathology and retinal cell apoptosis,re-spectively.The mRNA expression of ROS,TXNIP,and NLRP3 in the retinal tissue was detected by the quantitative fluores-cence polymerase chain reaction(PCR).The apoptosis of retinal cells and the protein expression of the ROS/TXNIP/NL-RP3 signaling pathway were detected by Western blotting.Results Compared with the control group,the model group showed disordered arrangement of retinal cells and a significant decrease in the cell number,accompanied by nuclear con-densation and edema;interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),malondialdehyde(MDA),FBG,angiopoie-tin-1(Ang-1),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),retinal cell apoptosis rate,ROS,and the mRNA and protein ex-pression levels of TXNIP and NLRP3 increased significantly,while superoxide dismutase(SOD)and B cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)protein expression levels decreased significantly(all P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the arrangement of retinal cells in the cornuside 20 mg·kg-1 group,the cornuside 40 mg·kg-1 group,and the calcium dobesilate 5.8 mg·kg-1 group gradually became normal,the number of retinal cells increased,and the nuclear condensation and edema were relieved;IL-6,TNF-α,MDA,FBG,Ang-1,VEGF,retinal cell apoptosis rate,ROS,and the mRNA and protein expression level of TXNIP and NLRP3 decreased significantly,while the protein expression level of SOD and Bcl-2 increased signifi-cantly(all P<0.05).In the intergroup comparison of the pathological damage of retinal tissue and the improvement degree of the above quantitative indexes in DR rats,the cornuside 40 mg·kg-1group was superior to the cornusin 20 mg·kg-1 group(all P<0.05);the calcium dobesilate 5.8 mg·kg-1 group was superior to the cornusin 20 mg·kg-1 group,but infe-rior to the cornuside 40 mg·kg-1 group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Cornuside can mitigate retinal inflammation,oxi-dative stress,and pathological damage in DR rats and inhibit blood glucose,retinal angiogenesis,and cell apoptosis.The acting mechanism of cornuside may be related to the inhibition of the ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the genome-wide distribution of histone H3K27ac in intestinal type gastric cancer,analyze remodeling features of enhancers and regulome and construct a prediction model for prognosis.Methods H3K27ac CUT&Tag sequencing and RNA sequencing were performed in intestinal type gastric cancer tissues from 15 patients and normal gastric mucosa tissues from 18 healthy volunteers.Bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify the differences in genome distribution of H3K27ac modifications.Based on the distribution characteristics of H3K27ac,the enhancer elements were identified and the remodeling characteristics of enhancer and related regulome were explored.The prediction model for prognosis based on enhancer related target genes was constructed by univariate Cox and multivariate Cox regression analyses.Results The histone H3K27ac modification was mainly distributed in the enhancer region and displayed no significant differences in the genomic distribution patterns between normal and cancer tissues.Compared with normal gastric mucosa,the level of enhancer H3K27ac modification was higher in intestinal type gastric cancer.A total of 8847 enhancers with increased activity in intestinal type gastric cancer were identified,accounting for 8.3%of all enhancers,which might promote malignant behaviors such as proliferation and adhesion of gastric cancer cells.A prognosis-predicting model established based on a panel of 6 genes that upregulated by the acquired enhancer in cancers,which was able to predict the overall survival of patients.Conclusion Enhancer remodeling is one of the significant epigenetic features of intestinal type gastric cancer.These enhancers may drive malignant growth and adhesion of cancer cells by upregulating the expression of MYC,E2F3 and other genes.A prognosis model based on enhancer target genes is constructed.
