OBJECTIVE To optimize the extraction process of polysaccharides from Abelmoschus manihot flowers， and to investigate the antioxidant， moisturizing and hygroscopicity activities of the polysaccharides.METHODS The optimal ratio of composite enzymes was determined by orthogonal experiments， and the extraction process of polysaccharides was optimized by single-factor experiments and Box-Behnken response surface methodology， and validated. The scavenging rates of 2，2′-azino-bis （3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid） （ABTS） free radicals， hydroxyl free radicals， and superoxide anion free radicals， as well as the total reducing ability of the polysaccharides were investigated by the ABTS method， Fenton-salicylic acid colorimetric method， pyrogallol autoxidation method， and potassium ferricyanide reduction method， respectively. The moisturizing and hygroscopicity activities of the polysaccharides were evaluated by the weighing method.RESULTS The optimal ratio of composite enzymes was 136 000 U of papain， 125 000 U of pectinase，and 5 000 U of cellulase. The optimal extraction process was as follows： enzymatic hydrolysis time of 2.8 h， enzymatic hydrolysis temperature of 57.50 ℃， pH of the sodium dihydrogen phosphate-disodium hydrogen phosphate buffer was 5.5， and solid-to-liquid ratio of 1∶40. The results of three experiments showed that the average polysaccharides extraction rate of 23.595%， with an RSD of 0.90%. The scavenging rates of ABTS free radicals， hydroxyl free radicals， superoxide anion free radicals， and total reducing ability were 81.759%， 87.110%， 54.244%， and 1.129 （the mass concentrations of polysaccharides were 10、 5、 10， and 10 mg/mL， respectively）， respectively. At relative humidity of 43% for 12 h， the moisturizing rate and hygroscopicity rate of polysaccharides were 99.387% and 100.478%， respectively； at relative humidity of 83% for 12 h， they were 99.764% and 100.455%， respectively.CONCLUSIONS The optimal extraction process of polysaccharides from A.manihot flowers based on the composite enzymes is stable and feasible； the polysaccharides obtained under this process have good antioxidant， moisturizing， and hygroscopicity activities.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of new onset suicidal behaviors among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide evidence for early warning and intervention. Methods: Using a cluster sampling method, baseline data were collected from September to November 2023 among 2 379 adolescents selected from 2 junior high schools, 2 general senior high schools and 2 vocational senior high schools in Wuhan, Hubei Province, with follow up carried out from September to November 2024. Data were collected using the School Adaptation Scale, the Essential Resilience Scale, the Personal Social Support Scale, the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire, the Adolescent Life Events Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing new onset suicidal behavior among junior and senior high school students. Results: Among junior and senior high school students without suicide risk at baseline, 53.55% remained stable risk free during follow up, while 13.28% developed new suicidal behavior during follow up, of which suicidal ideation, suicide plan and suicide attempts accounted for 11.69%, 8.83% and 6.52%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression revealed that increased depressive symptoms at follow up elevated the risk of overall new onset suicidal behaviors ( OR =4.14), ideation ( OR = 4.59), plans ( OR =4.24), and attempts ( OR =4.09); poor sleep quality also increased the risk of overall new onset suicidal behaviors ( OR =2.23), plans ( OR =2.03), and attempts ( OR =2.65) (all P <0.05). Non boarding junior and senior high school students had lower risks of overall new onset suicidal behaviors and ideation ( OR=0.70 and 0.49, respectively); secondary school students with academic performance ranking in the top 20%-30% of their class had a lower risk of new onset ideation ( OR =0.27); and those whose place of origin was outside the city had a lower risk of new onset plans ( OR =0.49) (all P <0.05). Conclusions New onset suicidal behaviors among junior and senior high school students exhibit dynamic and stage specific differences. Depressive symptoms serve as a common core risk factor across all stages, whereas sleep quality, academic performance, boarding status, and place of origin exert differential influences at distinct stages.

Sini Decoction (SNT) is a traditional formula recognized for its efficacy in warming the spleen and stomach and dispersing cold. However, elucidating the mechanism of action of SNT remains challenging due to its complex multiple components. This study utilized a synergistic approach combining two-dimensional fluorescence difference in gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE)-based drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) with label-free quantitative proteomics techniques to identify the direct and indirect protein targets of SNT in myocardial infarction. The analysis identified 590 proteins, with 30 proteins showing significant upregulation and 51 proteins showing downregulation when comparing the SNT group with the model group. Through the integration of 2D-DIGE DARTS with proteomics data and pharmacological assessments, the findings indicate that protein disulfide-isomerase A3 (PDIA3) may serve as a potential protein target through which SNT provides protective effects on myocardial cells during myocardial infarction.

Objective To investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP)rs57095329 and rs6864584 of miR-146a gene and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN).Methods A total of 96 patients diagnosed with CIN were randomly collected as the CIN group,and 225 healthy individuals examined during the same period were selected as the control group using SPSS software.Genotyping of the above SNP loci was performed using the TaqMan probe method,and their correlation with CIN was analyzed.Results The allele and genotype distribution of rs57095329 showed a statistically significant differences compared to the control group,with the frequency of the allele A in the CIN group significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.001;OR=0.48,95%CI:0.32～0.70).In the dominant model,individuals carrying the G allele(A/G-G/G)had a significantly increased risk of CIN(P<0.001;OR=2.67,95%CI:1.64～4.37).In contrast,no correlation was found between the rs6864584 and the risk of CIN.Conclusion The A allele of the miR-146a gene at the rs57095329 locus may be a protective factor for CIN.

This research study focuses on addressing the limitations of current neuropathic pain(NP)treatments by developing a novel dual-target modulator,E0199,targeting both Nav1.7,Nay1.8,and Nay1.9 and Kv7 channels,a crucial regulator in controlling NP symptoms.The objective of the study was to synthesize a compound capable of modulating these channels to alleviate NP.Through an experimental design involving both in vitro and in vivo methods,E0199 was tested for its efficacy on ion channels and its therapeutic potential in a chronic constriction injury(CCI)mouse model.The results demonstrated that E0199 significantly inhibited Nav1.7,Nav1.8,and Nav1.9 channels with a particularly low half maximal inhibitory concentration(ICs0)for Nay1.9 by promoting sodium channel inactivation,and also effectively increased Kv7.2/73,Kv7.2,and Kv7.5 channels,excluding Kv7.1 by promoting potassium channel acti-vation.This dual action significantly reduced the excitability of dorsal root ganglion neurons and alle-viated pain hypersensitivity in mice at low doses,indicating a potent analgesic effect without affecting heart and skeletal muscle ion channels critically.The safety of E0199 was supported by neurobehavioral evaluations.Conclusively,E0199 represents a ground-breaking approach in NP treatment,showcasing the potential of dual-target small-molecule compounds in providing a more effective and safe thera-peutic option for NP.This study introduces a promising direction for the future development of NP therapeutics.

BACKGROUND:Crosslinked sodium hyaluronate gel has good mechanical property,biocompatibility,and biodegradability,and can be used as an isolated protective material in tumor radiation therapy to protect endangered organs from damage caused by excess radiation dose. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the safety and efficacy of crosslinked sodium hyaluronate gel in reducing the dose of radiation to dangerous organs during brachytherapy. METHODS:A total of 16 specific pathogen-free Kunming mice of the same age and similar body weight were selected as experimental subjects and divided into experimental group and control group by the random number table method,with 8 mice in each group.125I seeds were implanted subcutaneously in the back of mice in the experimental group,and then crosslinked sodium hyaluronate gel was injected around the radioactive particles.Only 125I seeds were implanted subcutaneously in the back of mice in the control group.After injection,the distance between the radioactive particles and the epidermis was measured by spiral CT scan,and the surface radiation dose was measured by radiation dosimeter.Within 10 weeks after injection,the growth state,survival rate,skin radiation damage,and gel retention of mice were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Spiral CT scan showed that the implanted gel was relatively concentrated and created an effective distance between the radioactive seeds and the epidermis.The body surface radiation dose of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.01).(2)During the experimental observation period,mice in both groups survived;mice in the control group showed obvious irritability and other unstable behavior in the late experimental period,and some mice in the experimental group showed similar behavior.The daily food intake of mice in the two groups had no significant change,and the body mass showed the same increasing trend.After implantation of radioactive seeds,the two groups of mice showed different degrees of radioactive skin injury.From day 23 after injection to the end of the experiment,the skin radiation injury score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.01).At week 10 after implantation,6 mice in the experimental group had no obvious gel residue under their skin,and 2 mice had a very small amount of scattered gel-like samples under their skin.(3)Therefore,the crosslinked sodium hyaluronate injection technique can increase the space between the radioactive target area of 125I seeds and the organ at risk outside the target through physical space occupying,which can effectively reduce the dose of the organ at risk,and play a role in the isolation and protection of the organ at risk.

BACKGROUND:With the development of biomechanics,its research into cardiovascular diseases has become more and more extensive.By studying the mechanical properties of blood vessels,the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and restenosis can be effectively revealed and new ideas and methods can be developed for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. OBJECTIVE:To review the research status of apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells induced by mechanical stress and search for potential target molecules and signaling pathways for clinical treatment,thereby improving the clinical treatment effect on cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. METHODS:We searched the literature in CNKI,PubMed and ScienceDirect databases from January 1992 to May 2023.The search terms were"vascular smooth muscle cell,mechanical stress,shear stress,stretch stress,apoptosis"in Chinese and English.Finally,63 articles were included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Physiological and pathological apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells is an adaptive remodeling in response to the changes in vascular mechanics.Vascular smooth muscle cells in different parts have different mechanical stimuli and their pathogenesis is also different.Low shear stress,physiological shear stress and high shear stress directly interact with surface molecules,receptors and proteins of vascular smooth muscle cells to regulate apoptosis-related signaling molecules and inhibit cell proliferation,thus regulating the apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells.In this part,the research on promoting proliferation is not summarized.Low stretch stress,physiological stretch stress and high stretch stress can all cause apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells,but it is still controversial.There are many mechanoreceptors(such as integrins and receptor tyrosine kinases)on the surface of vascular smooth muscle cells,which can transform mechanical signals into intracellular chemical signals(such as the Hippo pathway),activate the apoptosis signals of vascular smooth muscle cells and regulate the apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells.In short,different mechanical stimuli start a variety of signal pathways and regulate the apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells through various signal molecules.For example,shear stress affects Fas/FasL and Akt pathways mainly by stimulating prostaglandin secretion and transforming growth factors.Strech stress mainly regulates the YAP pathway and Notch pathway through Yes-related proteins.At different times or intensities,these molecules may play opposite two-way roles.For example,when mouse vascular smooth muscle cells are stretched at 10%physiological tension for 1 hour,cell proliferation increases.However,the proliferation of human vascular smooth muscle cells can decrease after 12 hours of stretching.Clinically,the key molecules of mechanical transduction can be disturbed by searching for key molecules that interfere with mechanical transduction at their critical time points of action.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of esketamine combined with general anesthesia and ultrasound-guided cervical plexus block in axillary endoscopic thyroidectomy.Methods The subjects of this study,112 female patients who underwent axillary endoscopic thyroidectomy in our hospital from January 2022 to October 2024,were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,each with 56 cases.All patients were administered with ultrasound-guided cervical plexus block followed by general anesthesia.The observation group was injected with 0.1 mg/kg of esketamine prior to anesthesia induction and continuously pumped with esketamine at a rate of 0.1 mg/(kg·h)during the operation until sutures were completed,while the control group was administered with an equal volume of normal saline following the same procedure.The vital sign indicators[mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR)and percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation(SpO2)]immediately after establishing electrocardiogram monitoring(T0),immediately before tracheal intubation(T1),immediately after tracheal intubation(T2),immediately after skin incision(T3)and immediately after the operation(T4)were compared between the two groups.Surgical related indicators such as propofol dosage,remifentanil dosage,and extubation time were also compared between them.Pain visual analogue scale(VAS)scores were performed on patients from the two groups at 1,6,12,and 24 h postoperatively.The 40-item quality of recovery score(QoR-40)was used before the surgeries and 1 d after surgeries to assess the patients.Adverse reactions were also compared.Results The difference was significant in terms of MAP,HR time effect in the two groups(F=24.63,F=20.11,P<0.05)and inter-group MAP,HR values(F=13.54,F=11.49,P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in the interaction effects of MAP and HR between the two groups(F=4.10,F=3.46,P<0.05).The difference was not statistically significant in time,inter group,and interaction effects of SpO2(P>0.05).The dosage of propofol,remifentanil,and postoperative 1 d drainage in the observation group were less than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The differences were not statistically signiciant in extubation time and awakening time between the two groups(P>0.05).The VAS scores at 1,6,12,and 24 h after operation in the observation groups were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Physical comfort,pain dimension ratings,and total score of the QoR-40 scale:1)those 1 d after operation were lower than those before operation in both groups(P<0.05);2)1 d after operation:those in the control group were lower than those in the observation group(P<0.05).The control group witnessed a remarkable decrease in QoR-40 emotional state rating 1 d after operation than it did before operation(P<0.05),while no significant change was seen by the observation group in this regard(P>0.05).The incidence of coughing after extubation in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(14.29%and 37.50%),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The differences were not statistically signiciant in the incidence of other adverse reactions such as nausea,vomiting,dizziness,headache,respiratory depression,awakening restlessness and awakening delirium between the two groups(P>0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(25.00%and 66.07%,P<0.05).Conclusion The application of esketamine combined with general anesthesia and ultrasound-guided cervical plexus block in axillary endoscopic thyroidectomy can significantly stabilize hemodynamics in patients,reduce postoperative pain,and promote postoperative recovery.It is worthy clinical application.

In order to establish a competitive chemiluminescent enzyme-linked immunoassay for rapid and quantitative detection of Senecavirus A antibodies,the polystyrene plate was coated with inactivated Senecavirus A antigen,and the monoclonal antibodies against Senecavirus A VP2 and VP3 proteins labeled by horseradish peroxidase(HRP)were used as the competitive enzymic anti-bodies of the antibodies in the serum samples.The standard curve of the calibrator prepared by di-lution of positive serum was drawn to achieve quantitative detection.The successfully established SVA competitive CLEIA reported the result within 45 minutes.The maximum dilution of 1∶2 048 for calibrator serum was still detectable with no cross-reaction with the standard positive serum of other five kinds of virus antigens such as foot-and-mouth disease.The coefficient of variation within batches was less than 10％,and the coefficient of variation between batches was less than 15％,which showed good repeatability and stability.The positive and negative coincidence rates were 95.30％and 97.57％,respectively,and the total coincidence rate was 96.88％,showing high consistency.The SVA competitive CLEIA assay established in this study can be used for the rapid quantitative detection of Senecavirus A antibodies,filling the gap in the domestic rapid quantitative detection of SVA antibodies.
