Three soil conditioners were prepared from granulated food waste and decomposed cattle manure combined with desulfurization gypsum, coal gangue, and maifanite, respectively. Field trials were conducted in the saline field growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The effects of soil conditioners on rhizospheric bacterial communities were studied, with the aim of providing a scientific basis for soil amelioration and restoration. Five treatments were designed, including the control (T1), conventional fertilization (T2), reduced chemical fertilization+organic matter-based soil conditioner with calcium additives (T3), reduced chemical fertilization+organic matter-based soil conditioner with silica additives (T4), and reduced chemical fertilization+organic matter-based soil conditioner with magnesium additives (T5), each with three replications. The results indicated that soil conditioners improved the rhizospheric nutrients, yield, and quality of grape (P<0.05), increased relative abundance of Proteobacteria by 17.32%-23.37%, decreased relative abundance of unidentified_Bacteria and Acidobacteriota by 4.22%-28.42% and 20.88%-35.81%, respectively. The bacterial community composition and diversity were different between treatments. Function analysis showed that the expression levels of the genes involved in chromosome and protein synthesis, mRNA biosynthesis, and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism were up-regulated in the treatments with soil conditioners. The correlation analysis revealed that multiple environmental factors affected the alpha diversity of rhizospheric bacterial communities, and some bacterial taxa were closely related to the grape yield and quality. It is concluded that soil conditioners can effectively alter rhizosphere nutrient levels and bacterial community structures and functions. T5 treatment outperforms other treatments in improving the physico-chemical and biological characteristics of rhizosphere, and the yield, and quality of grape. It has potential for application, and provides an important basis for development of new-type soil conditioners.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of positive coping style between social support and post-discharge coping difficulty among mothers of premature infants, so as to provide guidance for medical staff to deeply understand and improve the post-discharge coping difficulty of mothers.Methods:A convenience sampling method was employed to select 310 mothers of premature infants from the neonatal intensive care units of five tertiary level A hospitals in Shandong Province from March to June 2023 as the study population. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire, the Social Support Rating Scale, the Simple Coping Style Questionnaire, and the Post-Discharge Coping Difficulty Scale-Parent Form.Results:A total of 280 valid questionnaires were returned, among which the age of mothers was (32.70 ± 5.08) years. The score of social support, positive coping style and post-discharge coping difficulty in mothers of preterm infants was (42.59 ± 7.40), (23.06 ± 6.75) and (3.64 ± 1.74) points respectively. Social support was positively associated with positive coping style ( r=0.404, P<0.01), social support and positive coping style were negatively associated with post-discharge coping difficulty ( r=-0.368, -0.369, both P<0.01). Positive coping style partially mediated the relationship between social support and post-discharge coping difficulty, which accounted for 31.11% of the total effect. Conclusions:Social support can affect post-discharge coping difficulty of mothers of premature infants through positive coping style. Medical staff should pay attention to the enhancement of social support and the cultivation of positive coping style of mothers of premature infants, and take targeted measures to reduce the post-discharge coping difficulty.

Objective To assess the feasibility of utilizing the ExacTracDynamic surface monitoring system(ETD)for setup and body surface monitoring in patients with thoracic tumors undergoing intensity-modulated radio-therapy(IMRT).Methods Patients receiving IMRT for thoracic tumors were included in this study.The enrolled patients were alternatively assigned to either conventional cross curve positioning(control group)or surface monitoring system-assisted positioning(experimental group).ETD X-ray images were utilized for calibration purposes prior to radiotherapy,enabling the determination of setup errors.A region of interest(ROI)was delineated on the body surface above the sternum,and real-time body surface monitoring was performed based on this ROI during radiotherapy.Post-radiotherapy X-ray images were obtained to verify patient position.Data regarding left-right(X),head-foot(Y),abdomen-back(Z),pitch,roll,and yaw directions were recorded and analyzed.Results A total of 60 patients were enrolled,with 754 fractions of radiotherapy in the control group and 718 fractions in the experimental group.The setup errors in the X and Z directions were significantly smaller in the experimental group compared to the control group(P<0.05).Moreover,there was a significant reduction in the number of setup errors≤0.50 cm for X,Y,and Z directions,as well as≤1.00° for Roll angle in the experimental group compared to the control group(P<0.05).Additionally,differences were observed between surface monitoring and X-ray image verification regarding position deviation along Y and Z directions(P<0.05),although these deviations remained within submillimeter levels on average.Conclusion Surface monitoring system-assisted positioning can enhance radiotherapy setup accuracy among thoracic tumor patients,particularly along X and Z directions.Furthermore,when setting ROI above sternum on body surface area,surface monitoring provides better reflection of target area's position deviation.

Objective To explore the feasibility of automatic segmentation of clinical target volume(CTV)and organs at risk(OARs)for cervical cancer using AccuLearning(AL)based on geometric and dosimetric indices.Methods Seventy-five CT localization images with manual contouring data of postoperative cervical cancer were enrolled in this study.Sixty cases were randomly selected to trained to generate automatic segmentation model by AL,and the CTV and OARs of the remaining 15 cases were automatically contoured.Radiotherapy plans on the automatic segmentation contours were imported on the CT images of manual contours.The efficiency,Dice similarity coefficient(DSC),Hausdorff distance(HD)and dosimetric parameters were compared between the two methods.Results The time of automatic segmentation was significantly shorter than that of the manual contour(P<0.05).The DSC of all structures were≥0.87.The HD of bowel bag and rectum were about 10 mm,and that of the rest of OARs were less than 5 mm.CTV(D98,V90% ,V95% ,Dmean,HI),bowel bag(V50)and bladder(V50)had significant differences in dosimetric comparison(P<0.05).Conclusion The automatic segmentation model based on AL can improve the efficiency of radiotherapy.Automatic segmentation of OARs has the potential of clinical application,while that of CTV still needs to be further modified.

Objective To explore the correlation between intestinal dose and acute radiation enteritis(ARE)in patients with cervical cancer received concurrent chemoradiotherapy,and optimize the dose limit of intestinal tissue.Methods 158 cervical cancer patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy from 2014 to 2019 were selected in this study.According to CTCAE 5.0,patients with ARE≥grade 2 were classified as ARE≥grade 2 group,otherwise classified as ARE0.7,P<0.05).Conclusions For patients with cervical cancer received concurrent chemoradiotherapy,the dose of bowelbag V5 and V40 should be considered to rationally optimize the dose of bowelbag in the radiotherapy plan,so as to reduce the incidence of ARE≥grade 2.

Objective To investigate the effects of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored HDL-binding protein (GPIHBP1) on glioma growth and macrophage infiltration. Methods Initially, the expression of GPIHBP1 in glioma samples and macrophage infiltration were analyzed using TCGA database, and these bioinformatics results were validated in clinical tissue samples. A stable glioma cell line overexpressing GPIHBP1 was then established to further explore the effects of GPIHBP1 overexpression on glioma cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. Finally, the impact of GPIHBP1 overexpression on tumor growth and macrophage infiltration was verified through xenograft experiments. Results TCGA database analysis revealed that GPIHBP1 expression was higher in low-grade gliomas compared to normal tissues, while it was lower in high-grade gliomas. Additionally, the expression level of GPIHBP1 in low-grade gliomas was higher than in high-grade gliomas, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Western blot analysis confirmed the successful construction of the GPIHBP1-overexpressing glioma cell line. CCK-8, flow cytometry, scratch and Transwell assays demonstrated that the proliferation, migration and invasion capabilities of the stable cell line were reduced compared to the control group. Xenograft experiments further showed that the tumor growth and macrophage infiltration were decreased in the stable cell line. Conclusion The differential expression of GPIHBP1 in different grades of gliomas may be associated with tumor progression. Overexpression of GPIHBP1 can inhibit glioma growth, possibly by influencing the tumor microenvironment and promoting the polarization of macrophages towards the antitumor M1 phenotype, thereby inhibiting glioma growth.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of AKAP12/PCK6 signaling pathway on podocyte autophagy in diabetic kidney disease(DKD).Methods A total of 40 C57/B6 AKAP12 KO(AKAP12-/-)mice and wild-type(WT)littermates were randomly divided into four groups,with 10 mice in each group:Ctrl+WT group,Ctrl+AKAP12-/-group,DKD+WT group and DKD+AKAP12-/-group.Primary podocytes were obtained from AKAP12-/-mice and WT mice,and exposed to high glucose(HG,30 mmol/L)or mannitol for 24 h to investigate the mitosis and autophagy of podocytes.The primary podocytes were divided into Mannitol+WT,G+WT,Mannitol+AKAP12-/-and HG+AKAP12-/-.In addition,AKAP12-/-podocytes were transfected with sh-PCSK6 to knockdown the expression of PCK6.Mito-Tracker staining was used to analyze the morphology of mitochondria in podocytes.The expressions of mitotic proteins(FIS1 and DRP1),mitochondrial autophagy(PINK1 and Parkin)and autophagy-related proteins(LC3 and p62)were analyzed by Western blot.Results Compared with HG+WT group,the number of single mitochondria and the expression of FIS1,DRP1,PINK1,Parkin,LC3Ⅱ and p62 proteins increased,while the average branch length of mitochondria decreased in HG+AKAP12-/-group(P＜0.05).Compared with HG+sh-NC group,the number of single mitochondria and the expression of FIS1,DRP1,PINK1,Parkin and LC3Ⅱ proteins decreased significantly in HG+sh-PCSK6 group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),while the average branch length of mitochondria increased significantly(P＜0.05).Conclusions AKAP12/PCSK6 signaling pathway mediates the regulation of mitochondrion division and mitochondrion autophagy in podocytes under HG environment.
