ObjectiveTo investigate the role of Krüppel-like factor 4 （KLF4） in type 1 diabetic nephropathy （DN） and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms. MethodsSixteen male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were selected and randomly divided into control group and model group， with 8 rats in each group. Rats in model group were intraperitoneally injected with a single dose of 55 mg/kg streptozotocin （STZ） to establish a diabetic nephropathy （DN） model， while those in control group were injected with an equal volume of sodium citrate buffer at the same time. After successful model establishment， the serum levels of blood urea nitrogen （BUN） and serum creatinine （SCR） were determined. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was performed on renal tissues to observe pathological changes， and immunofluorescence staining was conducted to detect the expression of KLF4 in renal tissues. Lipid peroxidation levels were evaluated by measuring malondialdehyde （MDA）， Fe²⁺， and lipid peroxidation products in rat kidneys. A high glucose （HG）-induced cell injury model was established in HK-2 cells， with mitochondrial membrane potential assessed using 5，5'，6，6'-tetrachloro-1，1'，3，3'- tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide （JC-1） staining. Lipid peroxidation levels （MDA， Fe²⁺， and lipid peroxides） were measured in HK-2 cells.KLF4-overexpressing HK-2 cells were then constructed， followed by repeated JC-1， MDA， Fe²⁺， and lipid peroxidation assays. Western blot was performed to evaluate the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins including glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （NRF2）， and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （Keap1）， in renal tissues， HK-2 cells， and KLF4-overexpressing HK-2 cells. ResultsCompared with the control group， DN rats exhibited elevated serum BUN and SCR levels， glomerular hypertrophy， renal interstitial fibrosis， and decreased KLF4 expression. Additionally， MDA， Fe²⁺， and lipid peroxidation levels increased， indicating enhanced ferroptosis in renal tissues， accompanied by reduced GPX4 and NRF2 expression and elevated Keap1 levels. Similarly， HG-treated HK-2 cells showed decreased KLF4 expression， increased MDA， Fe²⁺ and lipid peroxidation， elevated ferroptosis， and dysregulated GPX4/NRF2/Keap1 expression. However， KLF4 overexpression reversed these alterations induced by high glucose treatment. ConclusionIn the renal tissues of type 1 diabetic rats， the expression of KLF4 decreases the level of ferroptosis increases， and KLF4 overexpression could alleviate HG-induced HK-2 cell injury.

Objective:To analyze the intercomparision result of personal dose monitoring and gross alpha/beta detection capability between the disease control and prevention institutions at provincial, municpal and county levels during 2022-2024, in order to provide a reference for radiation detection capability and policy making of these institutions in China.Methods:Data on personal dose monitoring and gross alpha/beta detection, obtanied from the 2022-2024 radiation detection capability intercomparison between the disease control and prevention institutions at different levels, were recorded. Both the qualification rates (including excellence) and excellence rates of all the institutions at all evels from 2022 to 2024 were analyzed using SPSS 22.0.Results:From 2022 to 2024, the number of participating institutions at all levels showed an overall upward trend, increasing from 262 to 430, with particularly notable growth at the municipal level. In the 2024 gross α/β detection capability intercomparison, the non-qualification rate in municipal-level institutions was significantly higher than in county-level institutions ( χ2=10.53, P < 0.05). The qualification rate (including excellence) of the municipal-level gross alpha/beta detection in 2022 and 2024 were lower than in 2023( χ2=29.93, P < 0.01). Among all regions, the 2024 personal dose monitoring intercomparison result showed that the qualification rate (including excellence) in East China was higher than in Southwest and Northwest China ( χ2=15.62, P <0.01). East China also outperformed Northwest China ( χ2=16.21, P <0.01). In the 2022 gross alpha/beta detection capability intercomparison, the qualification rate (including excellent performance) in East China and South China was higher than in Northwest China ( χ2=23.76, 11.22, P<0.01). Overall, East China showed relatively higher qualification rate in intercomparison result of both personal dose monitoring and radiation detection (including excellence), while Northwest China showed lower qualification rates (including excellence). Conclusions:Although the radiation detection capability of disease control and prevention institutions at all levels has improved in recent years, there are still insufficience of detection capabilities at some municipal- and county-level laboratories and even unbalance between different regionas. Policy support should prioritize underdeveloped areas, such as municipal- and county-level institutions and the Northwest, and enhance the technical proficiency and quality management of laboratory personnel.
