Aim To investigate the effects of rosavin on hepatocellular steatosis and its mechanism of action.Methods AML-12 and HepG2 cells were induced to undergo hepatocellular steatosis by free fatty acids(FFA),and the optimal inducing concentration was determined by oil red O staining and CCK-8 assay.The cell activity was detected by CCK-8 assay after ro-savin treatment,and the lipid droplet accumulation was observed by oil red O staining.The levels of triglycer-ide(TG),total cholesterol(TC),glutamic oxalacetic transaminase(AST),glutamic pyruvic transaminase(ALT),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione per-oxidase(GSH-Px),and malondialdehyde(MDA)were detected by kits.The potential targets of rosavin in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)were ana-lyzedby network pharmacology and molecular docking,and the expression of core candidate targets before and after the rosavin intervention was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results Hepatocyte steatosis was induced by FFA,and the intervention of rosavin(25,50 μmol·L-1)reduced the number of intracellular lipid droplets in hepatocytes in a dose-de-pendent manner,also lowered the cellular levels of TG,TC,AST,ALT,elevated the levels of SOD and GSH-Px,and reduced the levels of MDA.Network pharma-cological analysis and molecular docking yielded five core candidate targets:NOS3,MAPK14,PPARG,TNF-α,and IGF-1,and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR showed that the action of loxavir significantly re-duced the gene expression of TNF-α and PPARG in hepatocytes after FFA induction.Conclusions Rosa-vin can attenuate the inflammatory response,oxidative stress level,and lipid accumulation in hepatocytes by modulating TNF-α and PPARG,thereby ameliorating FFA-induced hepatocellular steatosis.

Objective:To explore the expression of lamin (LMN) gene in Colorectal cancer (CRC) , as well as the effects of knockdown LMNA expression in colorectal cancer cells on its migration ability and related molecular mechanisms.Methods:Paraffin-embedded specimens of tumor tissues and corresponding peritumoral tissues were collected from 37 colorectal cancer patients for the detection of LMNA protein expression. Colorectal cancer cell line SW480 was cultured in vitro and divided into Mock group (transfected MOCk-siRNA) and LMNA group (transfected LMNA-siRNA) . Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the LMNA mRNA content in SW480 cells of experimental group and control group. The expression levels of LMNA, Wnt and β-catenin in SW480 cells of experimental group and control group were detected by Western blotting. The migration ability of cells in each group was detected by cell scratch test. The migration ability of cells in each group were detected by transwell assay.Results:Immunohistochemical test showed that the positive rate of LMNA protein in colorectal cancer tissues was 89.19% (33/37 cases) , and the expression rate in corresponding paracancer tissues was 48.65% (18/37 cases) . The expression level of LMNA in colorectal cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancer tissues ( P<0.001) . siRNA decreased the expression of LMNA protein in colorectal cancer cells SW480. The scratch healing rate was (53.71±5.34) % in the experimental group and (83.84±6.98) % in the control group. The results of Transwell experiment showed that the number of successfully migrated cells in the experimental group was 34.92±5.11, and that in the control group was 93.87±12.57. The results showed that the migration ability of SW480 cells was significantly decreased after low expression of LMNA ( P<0.01) . Western blot results showed that the relative expression level of Wnt and β-catenin in LMNA group was 0.42±0.12 and 0.22±0.11 respectively. The relative expression levels of Wnt and β-catenin in MOCK group were 1.28±0.26 and 1.14±0.21 respectively. The expression levels of P16 and Wnt and β-catenin in PC3 cells with low LMNA expression were increased ( P<0.05) , while the expressions of WNT and β-catenin were decreased (both P<0.05) . Conclusion:The expression of LMNA was significantly increased in colorectal cancer, which may be related to the malignant degree of colorectal cancer. LMNA proteins may affect the migration ability of colorectal cancer cells by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Occupational noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an irreversible sensorineural hearing loss that severely endangers workers’ health, making early screening crucial. This article reviewed the research progress on early screening methods for occupational NIHL, introduced the testing mechanisms of three core screening methods—tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions, and extended high-frequency audiometry —and summarized their clinical application advantages and limitations. It is proposed that multimodal combined detection (e.g., the combination of tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions, and extended high-frequency audiometry) can significantly improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of early screening. Meanwhile, future studies with prospective cohort design are encouraged to verify the long-term monitoring value of each method and to strengthen the joint development of screening technologies with cutting-edge approaches such as machine learning, in order to further improve screening efficiency and provide stronger protection for workers’ hearing health.
