Objective:To construct the sphingosine kinase 1(SPHK1)overexpression lentiviral vector,and to establish the SKOV3 lentiviral stable transfection cell line.Methods:According to the SPHK1 data information provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI)database,the primers were designed and synthesized,the target gene was amplified,and connected to the GV492 plasmid treated with Bam HⅠ and AgeⅠ restriction enzymes to construct the SPHK1 overexpression lentiviral vector;the positive clones were selected for PCR and sequencing identification;the lentiviral plasmid and the lentiviral packaging auxiliary plasmid were co-transfected into the HEK-293T cells for packaging and titer determination;according to the measured optimal multiplicity of infection(MOI)of 10,the corresponding lentiviral amounts in various groups were transfected into the SKOV3 cells,and the SKOV3 cells were divided into blank group(without treatment),GV492 control group(GV492 control lentivirus infected SKOV3 cells),and GV492-SPHK1 overexpression group(GV492-SPHK1 overexpression lentivirus infected SKOV3 cells,ov-SPHK1 group);the optimal concentration of 2 mg·L-1 puromycin was used to screen the stably transfected SKOV3 cell line;after 48 h,the medium was changed and replaced with 1 mg·L-1 puromycin for screening for 14 d;the morphology and fluorescence expression of the cells were observed under fluorescence microscope;real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method was used to detect the expression levels of SPHK1 mRNA in the SKOV3 cells in various groups;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression level of SPHK1 protein in the SKOV3 cells in various groups.Results:The PCR sequencing results showed that the gene sequence of the SPHK1 overexpression lentiviral vector was completely consistent with the target sequence,and the SPHK1 overexpression lentiviral vector was successfully constructed;the titer determination results showed that the lentiviral titers in GV492 control group and ov-SPHK1 group were 5×1011 and 8×1011 TU·L?1,respectively;the SKOV3 cells in GV492 control group and ov-SPHK1 group were in good state and showed strong fluorescence expression,suggesting that the SKOV3 stable transfection cell line overexpressing SPHK1 was successfully established;the RT-qPCR results showed that compared with blank group and GV492 control group,the expression level of SPHK1 mRNA in the SKOV3 cells in ov-SPHK1 group was significantly increased(P<0.01);the Western blotting results showed that compared with blank group and GV492 control group,the expression level of SPHK1 protein in the SKOV3 cells in ov-SPHK1 group was significantly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion:The SPHK1 overexpression lentiviral vector is successfully constructed,and the SKOV3 stable transfection cell line is established.

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 evaluate the efficacy of angiogenesis inhibitors and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer using a mesh meta-system.Methods:Subject terms were used to search Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and web of science databases to collect randomized controlled trials related to angiogenesis inhibitors and PARP inhibitors in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer. The search time was established until January 1, 2024. Outcome measures included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Bias risk assessment was performed using Revman 5.4 software and mesh meta-analysis was performed using gemtc package in R 4.3.1 software.Results:34 randomized controlled trials were included in the PFS and 26 in the OS. Olaparib ( HR=0.63, 95% CI: 0.40-0.99), rucaparib ( HR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.24-0.99), niraparib ( HR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.26-0.93), niraparib+ bevacizumab ( HR=0.17, 95% CI: 0.05-0.61), chemotherapy+ bevacizumab+ maintenance bevacizumab ( HR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.3-0.97) and chemotherapy+ bevacizumab ( HR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.31-0.81) had longer PFS than conventional platinum-based chemotherapy/chemotherapy+ placebo. Niraparib+ bevacizumab had the longest PFS of all pharmacological interventions. Chemotherapy plus bevacizumab ( HR=0.72, 95% CI: 0.57 -0.88) had a longer OS than conventional platinum-based chemotherapy/chemotherapy plus placebo. Conclusions:There is limited evidence that angiogenesis inhibitors alone (bevacizumab) or PARP inhibitors alone (niraparib, olaparib, and rucaparib) can improve PFS or OS in recurrent ovarian cancer, and that the combination of angiogenesis inhibitors and PARP inhibitors may be more beneficial in prolonging PFS or OS in recurrent ovarian cancer.
