In order to explore effective ways to reduce non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among female adolescents, a total of 45 female adolescent patients with NSSI in West China Hospital of Sichuan University and Guizhou Second Provincial People's Hospital from June 2021 to June 2024 were selected randomly that divided into groups A, B and C, with 15 cases in each group. Group A was treated with repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and bipolar depression triple therapy, and group B was treated with bipolar depression triple therapy to compare the effectiveness and safety. Group C received bipolar depression triple therapy combined with sham stimulation which only produced stimulating sounds but no stimulating magnetic field as a control in the study. After treatment, the Hamilton Anxiety Score (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Score (HAMD) and Nurses' Global Assessment of Suicide Risk (NGASR) in group A were significantly lower than those in group B and C ( P < 0.01). rTMS combined with bipolar depression triple therapy has a definite effect on reducing NSSI in female adolescents, which can reduce the incidence rate of short-term NSSI behavior in patients.

BackgroundDepressive disorders are prevalence among adolescents， with a higher incidence in females compared to males， often accompanied by more severe depressive symptoms. Sertraline is commonly prescribed for adolescent depressive disorder， however， its efficacy is only evident in certain patients. Currently， there is limited research on predicting the therapeutic efficacy of sertraline in female adolescents with depressive disorder. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between personality traits， psychological resilience， coping style and the clinical efficacy of sertraline treatment in female adolescents with first-episode depressive disorder， in order to provide references for the treatment of this population. MethodsA total of 112 female adolescent patients with first-episode depressive disorder， meeting the diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Diseases （tenth edition） （ICD-10）， and undergoing a 4-week treatment regimen with sertraline， were selected from the Second People's Hospital of Guizhou Province from February 2019 to January 2021.General demographic questionnaire， NEO Five-Factor Inventory （NEO-FFI）， Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents （RSCA）， Coping Style Scale for Middle School Students （CSSMSS）， Hamilton Anxiety Scale （HAMA） and Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item （HAMD-17） were used for assessment. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the factors influencing the clinical efficacy of sertraline in the treatment of female adolescents with first-episode depressive disorder. ResultsNeuroticism （β=-0.115， 95% CI： 0.807~0.984） could negatively predicted the therapeutic efficacy of sertraline in female adolescents with first-episode depressive disorder， whereas agreeableness （β=0.129， 95% CI： 1.025~1.264） and RSCA score （β=0.062， 95% CI： 1.004~1.128） could positively predict its therapeutic efficacy. ConclusionHigh neuroticism， low agreeableness and low psychological resilience may be the risk factors for the poor therapeutic effect of sertraline in the treatment of female adolescents with first-episode depressive disorder. ［Funded by 2019 Guiyang Science and Technology Program （number， Zhuke Contract ［2019］9-3-1）］

Objective:To investigate the effect of miRNA-3653-3p (miR-3653-3p) on the proliferation and invasion ability of endometrial cancer cells and its related mechanisms.Methods:The data of 356 endometrial cancer patients were downloaded from the OncoLnc database (http://www.oncolnc.org, updated version 2020), and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the relationship between the expression level of miR-3653-3p and the overall survival of endometrial cancer patients. The miRGator database (https://bio.tools/mirgator_v2.0, updated version 2019) was used to predict the target gene binding to miR-3653-3p. Human endometrial cancer cell lines AN3CA, HEC-1A, HEC-1B, Ishikawa and human normal endometrial epithelial cell line ESC were selected, and the relative expression level of miR-3653-3p was detected by using quantitative real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The cell line with the lowest expression of miR-3653-3p was selected as the research object, which was divided into the negative control group and miR-3653-3p group, and transfected with the control empty vector plasmid and miR-3653-3p overexpression plasmid. CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation ability of cells, Transwell method was used to detect the invasion ability of cells, and qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of miR-3653-3p target gene. The effect of miR-3653-3p on the related protein expression of Wnt- β-catenin signaling pathway was detected by using Western blot.Results:Data analysis in the OncoLnc database showed that compared with endometrial cancer patients with low miR-3653-3p expression, patients with high miR-3653-3p expression had better overall survival ( P < 0.01). Compared with human normal endometrial epithelial ESC, the expression levels of miR-3653-3p in endometrial cancer cell lines AN3CA, HEC-1A, HEC-1B, and Ishikawa were all decreased (all P < 0.05), and the relative expression level of miR-3653-3p was the lowest in HEC-1A cells, and HEC-1A cells were selected for subsequent experiments. The result of CCK-8 showed that compared with the negative control group, the ability of HEC-1A cells in the miR-3653-3p group decreased on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th days (all P < 0.05). The result of the Transwell chamber invasion test showed that the number of HEC-1A cell invasion after culturing for 26 h in the negative control group and the miR-3653-3p group was (80±11) and (21±4), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 5.18, P < 0.01); compared with the negative control group, the number of cell invasion in the miR-3653-3p group decreased. The miRGator database was used to predict that the target gene of miR-3653-3p might be placenta-specific protein 8 (PLAC8). The relative expression levels of PLAC8 mRNA in HEC-1A cells in the negative control group and miR-3653-3p group were (6.26±0.83) and (0.97±0.31), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 6.00, P < 0.01); the relative expression level of PLAC8 mRNA in the miR-3653-3p group was lower than that in the negative control group. Compared with the negative control group, the PLAC8 protein of HEC-1A cells decreased, and the expression of Wnt-β-catenin signaling pathway related proteins β-catenin, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), GSK-3β, and Rac1 decreased in the miR-3653-3p group. Conclusions:miR-3653-3p may inhibit the proliferation and invasion of endometrial cancer cells by regulating the PLAC8-Wnt-β-catenin signaling pathway.

Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer, including lung cancer. However, the exact underlying mechanism and therapeutic potential are largely unknown. Here we report that protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) is highly expressed in lung cancer and is required for cell metabolism, tumorigenicity, and cisplatin response of lung cancer. PRMT6 regulated the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) flux and glycolysis pathway in human lung cancer by increasing the activity of 6-phospho-gluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) and α-enolase (ENO1). Furthermore, PRMT6 methylated R324 of 6PGD to enhancing its activity; while methylation at R9 and R372 of ENO1 promotes formation of active ENO1 dimers and 2-phosphoglycerate (2-PG) binding to ENO1, respectively. Lastly, targeting PRMT6 blocked the oxidative PPP flux, glycolysis pathway, and tumor growth, as well as enhanced the anti-tumor effects of cisplatin in lung cancer. Together, this study demonstrates that PRMT6 acts as a post-translational modification (PTM) regulator of glucose metabolism, which leads to the pathogenesis of lung cancer. It was proven that the PRMT6-6PGD/ENO1 regulatory axis is an important determinant of carcinogenesis and may become a promising cancer therapeutic strategy.

Objective:To evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of topical compound oleum lithospermi in the treatment of mild to moderate diaper dermatitis.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, positive-drug parallel-controlled clinical trial was conducted in 19 hospitals from July 2019 to August 2020. Children aged 0 - 12 months with mild to moderate diaper dermatitis were enrolled and randomly divided into 2 groups using a random number table: test group topically treated with compound oleum lithospermi, and control group topically treated with zinc oxide cream. The treatment was carried out 6 - 8 times a day for 7 days. Visits were scheduled on days 0 and 7, and total response rate and clinical healing time were evaluated. Changes in the dermatitis family impact (DFI) score were compared between the test group and control group, and adverse events were recorded. Statistical analysis was carried out by using independent-sample t test for normally distributed continuous data, Wilcoxon rank sum test for non-normally distributed continuous data, and chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test for unordered categorical data; survival curves were drawn, and log-rank test was used for comparisons between two groups. Results:A total of 343 children with diaper dermatitis were enrolled in this study. Among them, 31 children violated the protocol, so 312 were included in the per protocol set, including 157 in the test group and 155 in the control group, and all completed the visits on days 0 and 7. The total response rate was significantly higher in the test group (87.26%, 137/157) than in the control group (78.71%, 122/155; χ2 = 4.04, P = 0.044) . The clinical healing time was significantly shorter in the test group (5.33 days) than in the control group (6.13 days; χ2 = 4.67, P = 0.025) . After 7-day treatment, the DFI score significantly decreased in both the 2 groups compared with that before the treatment, but there was no significant difference in the DFI score between the 2 groups (test group: 4.02 ± 6.96, control group: 3.58 ± 5.90, Z = -0.39, P = 0.686) . The incidence of adverse events was 2.92% (5/171) and 5.45% (9/165) in the test group and control group respectively, and there was no significant difference between the 2 groups ( χ2 = 0.03, P = 0.865) . Conclusion:Compound oleum lithospermi can markedly reduce the clinical severity of diaper dermatitis, improve the total response rate, shorten the clinical treatment period, and improve the quality of life of children′s families with a favorable safety profile.
