Objective To explore the effect of chrysin on intestinal flora in mice with alcoholic liver disease(ALD).Methods Mice were randomly assigned to normal control group,ALD model group,Silymarin group,chrysin low-dose group,chrysin high-dose group(25,50 mg·kg-1).The mice were fed with alcoholic liquid diet and a single dose of alcohol(5 g·kg-1)for eight weeks to establish the ALD model.After eight weeks of oral administration,each group's serum and plasma lipids and liver function indices were collected and detected using kits;then collected the liver and observed the pathological changes of the liver using HE staining;meanwhile,intestinal contents were collected and changes in mouse gut flora were analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing.Results Compared with the ALD group,the level of aspartate transaminase(AST),alanine transaminase(ALT)and triacylglycerol(TG)of low-dose and high-dose chrysin groups were significantly reduced,and it can alleviate liver cell steatosis and inflammatory reactions caused by alcohol.16S rDNA results showed that the total number and types of intestinal flora in the ethanol group were significantly reduced,as well as a change in the dominant genus to Escherichia-Shigella and Akkermansia.Compared to the ALD model group,the Shannon index of the intestinal microbiota increased significantly in mice treated with low and high doses of chrysin.In addition,at the phylum and genus level,the abundance of the high-dose chrysin group increased significantly,resulting in an overall increase in the total number and amount of microbiota.The abundance of dominant bacterial groups,such as Oscillospirales,irmicutes,andAlloprevotella,was also significantly increased.Conclusion Chrysin may exert therapeutic effects on ALD by improving intestinal flora imbalance in ALD mice.

Aim To explore the impact and mechanism of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9(PCSK9)on the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA).Methods 6～8 week old ApoE-/-mice were selected to estab-lish the AAA model.Angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)was continuously infused through subcutaneous implantation of a micro-os-motic pump.The mice were fed with high-fat diet and killed after 28 days.The expression of PCSK9 in abdominal aor-tic smooth muscle cells was detected by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence in normal abdominal aortic blood vessels and AAA samples in human and mice.Primary cultured murine vascular smooth muscle cells(mVSMC)of C57BL/6 mice were treated with different concentrations of AngⅡ for 24 h,and the expression of PCSK9 mRNA and pro-tein was detected.PCSK9 overexpression and knockdown cell models were established,and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species(mtROS),mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP),mitochondrial permeability transition pore(MPTP)open-ing,and Z-DNA binding protein 1(ZBP1)protein expression were detected.Bioinformatics was used to analyze the dif-ferential expression of multiple single-cell sequencing datasets to obtain the key differentially expressed genes,and to study their expression and role in AAA.Results Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence results showed that PCSK9 expression in human and mouse AAA increased(P＜0.01),and co-localized with smooth muscle.Ang Ⅱ promoted PCSK9 expression in mVSMC in a concentration-dependent manner,the 2.0 μmol/L Ang Ⅱ group showed a 2.9-fold and 1.1-fold increase in the expression of PCSK9 mRNA and protein,respectively(P＜0.01),with the most significant effect observed.After successfully constructing PCSK9 overexpression and PCSK9 interference mVSMC models,PCSK9 overex-pression led to an increase in intracellular mtROS,a decrease in MMP,an increase in MPTP opening,and a decrease in cellular activity(P＜0.01);PCSK9 knockdown could reduce Ang Ⅱ induced increase in mtROS,decrease in MMP and MPTP opening;compared with the siNC+Ang Ⅱ group,the siPCSK9+Ang Ⅱ group showed a decrease in mtROS and an in-crease in the fluorescence brightness of MMP and MPTP(P＜0.05).Bioinformatics analysis revealed that ZBP1 was a core differentially expressed gene in AAA.Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence results showed that ZBP1 ex-pression in human and mouse AAA tissues increased,and co-localized with smooth muscle.Western blot results showed that PCSK9 overexpression or treatment with 2.0 μmol/L Ang Ⅱ could increase ZBP1 protein expression(P＜0.01),while PCSK9 knockdown could alleviate the increased ZBP1 expression caused by AngⅡ(P＜0.05).Conclusion PCSK9 may induce mitochondrial damage in smooth muscle cells,activate downstream molecule ZBP1 to cause cell damage,and promote the development of AAA.

MethodsThe RA patients treated in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Rheumatology of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital from August 2022 to June 2024 were selected. The demographic information， clinical data， laboratory test results， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom information were collected for syndrome differentiation， on the basis of which the characteristics and influencing factors of cold dampness obstruction syndrome were analyzed. ResultsA total of 258 RA patients were selected in this study， including 88 （34.1%） patients with cold dampness obstruction syndrome， 53 （20.5%） patients with dampness and heat obstruction syndrome， 31 （12.0%） patients with wind dampness obstruction syndrome， 29 （11.2%） patients with liver-kidney deficiency syndrome， 19 （7.4%） patients with Qi-blood deficiency syndrome， 14 （5.4%） patients with phlegm-stasis obstruction syndrome， 15 （5.8%） patients with stasis obstructing collateral syndrome and 9 （3.5%） patients with Qi-Yin deficiency syndrome. The patients were assigned into two groups of cold dampness obstruction syndrome and other syndromes. The group of cold dampness obstruction syndrome had lower joint fever， 28-tender joint count （TJC28）， and 28-joint disease activity score （DAS28）-C-reactive protein （CRP） and higher central sensitization， cold feeling of joints， fear of wind and cold， cold limbs， and abdominal distention than the group of other syndromes （P<0.05）. The binary logistic regression analysis showed that central sensitization （OR 5.749， 95%CI 2.116-15.616， P<0.001） and DAS28-CRP （OR 0.600， 95% CI 0.418-0.862， P=0.006） were the independent factors influencing cold dampness obstruction syndrome in RA. ConclusionCold dampness obstruction syndrome is a common syndrome in RA patients. It is associated with central sensitization， cold feeling of joints， abdominal distension and may be a clinical syndrome associated with central sensitization.

[Purpose]To analyze the incidence,mortality and disease burden of malignant tumors in the cancer registration areas of Hebei Province in 2020.[Methods]The incidence and mortality data of cancer in 2020 were collected from the cancer registries of Hebei Province,and the quality of data was evaluated.The crude incidence(mortality)rate,age-specific incidence(mortality)rates and age-standardized incidence(mortality)rates by Chinese standard population(ASIRC/ASMRC)and world standard population(ASIRW/ASMRW)were calculated and analyzed.The disability-ad-justed life years(DALY)were calculated and analyzed according to the Excel disease burden cal-culation template recommended by the World Health Organization(WHO).[Results]In 2020,the crude incidence rate,ASIRC,ASIRW of malignant tumors in the cancer registration areas of Hebei Province were 229.36/105,147.06/105 and 143.74/105,respectively.The incidence rate in men was higher than that in women.The incidence rates in urban and rural areas were 230.26/105 and 228.84/105,and the age-standardized incidence rates reached a peak in the age group of 80～84 years old.The crude mortality rate,ASMRC,ASMRW were 146.38/105,85.33/105 and 84.79/105,respectively.The mortality rate in men was higher than that in women.The age-standardized mor-tality rate rose with age,reaching a peak in the age group of 85+years old,and the crude mortality rates in urban and rural areas were 143.82/105 and 147.84/105,respectively.The DALY of ma-lignant tumors in the cancer registration areas of Hebei Province were 345 030 person-years,reaching a maximum in the age group of 45～59 years old,with a DALY rate of 15.00/103,and the highest in the age group of 70～79 years old.Lung cancer had the heaviest disease burden,with DALY of 83 684 person-years,accounting for 24.25％of all malignant tumors,followed by stomach,liver,female breast,and colorectal cancers.The DALY in urban and rural areas were 122 062 and 222 993 person-years,respectively,and the trends in DALY rates were basically stable.[Conclusion]The disease burden of malignant tumors in Hebei Province is relatively heavy,cancer prevention and control should be further strengthened and focused on urban men and the elderly to reduce disease burden of malignant tumors in the future.

Objective:To explore the phenotypic heterogeneity among patients harboring identical pathogenic variants in the dystrophin ( DMD) gene by analyzing clinical and imaging data from 7 pairs of male twins with dystrophinopathy. Methods:Clinical and laboratory data of 14 (7 pairs) male twins diagnosed with dystrophinopathy through genetic testing among 1 767 patients at Peking University First Hospital from January 2017 to October 2024 were collected. Eleven patients underwent thigh muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and muscle biopsies were performed in at least 1 case of each pair.Results:Among the 7 pairs of twin patients, 2 pairs had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and 5 pairs had Becker muscular dystrophy. In terms of variant types, 4 pairs had in-frame deletions, while the remaining 3 pairs had duplication variants, frameshift variants, and nonsense variants, respectively. Clinically, 6 individuals had asymptomatic hypercreatine kinasemia, and 8 had varying degrees of limb weakness. Among the 5 pairs of symptomatic twins, there were differences in the degree of limb weakness. Four individuals showed no significant abnormalities in thigh muscle MRI, 7 showed fat infiltration mainly in the bilateral gluteus maximus and adductor magnus muscles, and 2 pairs of twins had obvious differences in the degree of fat infiltration in muscle MRI. Muscle biopsies revealed dystrophic or mild myopathic pathological changes, with 2 individuals showing severe loss of dystrophin, while the others had partial loss.Conclusions:Dystrophinopathy exhibits significant individual differences. Even among individuals with highly similar genetic background, clinical and imaging manifestations caused by the same pathogenic variant also vary.

Objective To explore the application effect of five kinds of sarcopenia assessment scales in the sarcopenia screening in the patients with bone tumors.Methods The convenience sampling method was a-dopted to select 198 patients with bone tumor in this hospital from August 2023 to February 2024 were select-ed as the study subjects.The Simplified Five-Item Scoring Questionnaire(SARC-F),the Modified Simplified Five-Item Scoring Questionnaire(SARC-Calf),the Simplified Five-Item Scoring Questionnaire Combined with Age and BMI(SARC-F+EBM),the Mini Sarcopenia Risk Assessment 7-Item Questionnaire(MSRA-7)and the Mini Sarcopenia Risk Assessment 5-Item Questionnaire(MSRA-5)were used for conducting the screen-ing.The Asian Sarcopenia Working Group-2019(AWGS-2019)screening criteria for sarcopenia were used as diagnostic criteria.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and area under the curve(AUC)were used to analyze the predictive efficiency.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value(PPV),negative predictive value(NPV)and Kappa value were compared among various screening tools.Results According to the AWGS-2019 screening criteria for sarcopenia,there were 144 cases in the non-sarcopenia group and 54 ca-ses in the sarcopenia group,and the incidence rate of sarcopenia was 27.27％.SARC-Calf and MSRA-5 had the highest sensitivity(81.48％).SARC-F+EBM had the highest specificity(91.67％).SARC-F+EBM had the highest PPV(70.00％).SARC-Calf had the highest NPV(91.49％);SARC-F+EBM had the highest AUC(0.890),the corresponding cut-off value was 8.5 points,the sensitivity was 83.30％and specificity was 80.60％.The Kappa values of SARC-F,MSRA-5 and MSRA-7 were 0.206,0.336 and 0.324 respectively,pos-sessing the ordinary consistency,while the Kappa values of SARC-Calf and SARC-F+EBM were 0.544 and 0.474 respectively,possessing the medium consistency.Conclusion SARC-F+EBM could be used as the best screening tool of clinical medical staff for sarcopenia in the patients with bone tumor.
