Inflammatory response,immunosuppression,and drug sensitivity have been reported to have a significant correlation with the disulfidptosis levels in cancer patients.However,the value of disulfidpto-sis in colorectal cancer therapy remains unclear.Therefore,we classified the CRC cells into different cell types using single-cell sequencing data and cell-specific markers and analyzed their relationship with the cell disulfidptosis level.We found that the high disulfidptosis regions were concentrated in epithelial-like CRC cells.Further exploration using the disulfidptosis and programmed cell death 1 inhibitor therapy treated differential expression genes indicated that CRC patients with high disulfidptosis levels exhibited a lower risk profile and increased sensitivity to immunotherapy.By using the spatial transcriptomic analy-sis,we found that ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core protein 1(UQCRC1),a disulfidptosis-related gene,is highly expressed in epithelial-like CRC cells and co-localized with immune-infiltrated tumor re-gions.Additional bioinformatic analyses and experimental validation further confirmed that UQCRC1 was downregulated in CRC tissues.Overexpression of UQCRC1 suppressed CRC cell proliferation and migra-tion.These findings indicate that UQCRC1 is a potential target for CRC diagnosis and treatment.

Post-translational modification of protein is a key mechanism for regulating cancer development and immune re-sponses,and has become an important target for cancer diagnosis and treatment.Among them,lactylation modification provides a new perspective for the precise prevention and control of tumors by affecting metabolism and epigenetics.Lactylation modification precisely regulates the functions of histone and non-histone,affecting tumor cell characteristics,microenvironment acidification,and immune cell functions,becoming a key hub connecting metabolic reprogramming and malignant phenotypes.This article reviews the regulatory roles of lactylation modification in tumor development,immune escape,clinical translation,and explores the potential of targeted inhi-bition of lactylation modification and its related pathways,as well as the inhibition of key enzyme activity.

Aim To investigate the mechanism by which Aiweixin oral liquid(AWX)alleviates myocar-dial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats through the reg-ulation of mitochondrial fusion and fission.Methods Seventy-two healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to six groups(n=12)using a ran-dom number table:sham surgery group,model group,low-dose AWX(1 mL·kg-1)group,medium-dose AWX(2 mL·kg-1)group,high-dose AWX(4 mL·kg-1)group,and positive control drug trimetazidine(10 mg·kg-1)group.A myocardial ischemia-reper-fusion injury(MIRI)model was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery of the rat heart,followed by 30 minutes of ischemia and 90 mi-nutes of reperfusion.In the sham surgery group,only a suture was placed without ligation.The rats in the treatment groups were pre-gavaged with AWX starting 10 days prior to the modeling procedure.Lead Ⅱ elec-trocardiograms were recorded before and after reperfu-sion in each group to observe the changes in electrocar-diographic parameters.The myocardial infarct size in each group was assessed using TTC staining.The his-topathological changes in myocardial tissue were exam-ined under a light microscope using hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining.The serum levels of adenosine triphosphate(ATP)and cardiac troponin I(cTnI)were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent as-say(ELISA).Superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and the levels of malondialdehyde(MDA)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)were determined using bio-chemical assay kits.The protein expression levels of dynamin-related protein 1(dynamin-relatedprotein 1,DRP1),mitochondrial fission factor(mitochondrial fis-sion factor,MFF),mitochondrial fission protein 1(mi-tochondrial fission protein 1,FIS1),mitofusin 1(mito-fusion-1,MFN1),and mitofusin 2(mitofusion-2,MFN2)were evaluated by Western blot analysis.Re-sults Compared with the sham group,the model group exhibited aggravated myocardial tissue pathological damage,an increased percentage of myocardial infarct size,decreased serum SOD activity and ATP levels,and significantly elevated levels of MDA,cTnI,and LDH activity.Additionally,the protein expression of mito-chondrial fission factors DRP1,MFF,and FIS1 was up-regulated,while the expression of fusion-related factors MFN1 and MFN2 was downregulated.Compared with the model group,Aiweixin oral liquid significantly alle-viated myocardial injury,reduced the percentage of my-ocardial infarct size,increased serum SOD activity and ATP levels,decreased MDA content and cTnI and LDH activity,downregulated the protein expression of mito-chondrial fission factors DRP1,MFF,and FIS1,and up-regulated the protein expression of fusion-related factors MFN1 and MFN2.Conclusion Aiweixin oral liquid alleviates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats by regulating abnormal mitochondrial fusion and fis-sion.

Objective The sample entropy(SEn)was used to explore standing balance ability and balance control characteristics of the human body under different time scales,in order to reveal the influence of different support conditions and standing tasks on balance control mechanisms.Methods Twenty-two young adults(11 males,11 females)performed standing tasks on hard and soft support surfaces using both legs,the left leg,and the right leg.Each task lasted 30 seconds.Center of pressure(COP)data in the anterior-posterior(AP)and medial-lateral(ML)directions were collected,and sample entropy(SEn),entropic half-life(EnHL),and entropy change rate were calculated.Results When males stood on their left leg on a soft support surface,significant differences in EnHL were observed in both the AP and ML directions(P＜0.05).Significant differences in EnHL in the AP direction were also found for both males and females standing on their right leg on a soft support surface(P＜0.05).Under all standing conditions,EnHL values for both males and females exceeded 100 ms.During one-legged standing on a soft support surface,males exhibited significantly higher SEn values in both the AP and ML directions compared to females(P＜0.05).During double-legged standing on a hard support surface,males showed an entropy change rate of-0.005,indicating a backward movement trend and fewer posture adjustments.Additionally,during double-legged standing on a soft support surface,the time to reach EnHL in the ML direction was 194 ms for males and 192 ms for females,while females had a shorter EnHL time in the AP direction(168 ms).Changes in the support surface had a minor impact on EnHL.Conclusions Reduced proprioception may lead to variations in balance control strategies between genders and limbs.Males tended to adjust forward,whereas females tended to adjust backward.Gender did not significantly affect the stability of balance control during double-leg standing.Males may require more intervention and adjustment to maintain balance under specific disruptive conditions.
