Objective :
To investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in the occurrence and development of fatty liver induced by high fat.
Methods :
In the high-fat Drosophila model, the high-fat group was fed with high-fat medium, while the control group was fed with normal medium; in the mouse fatty liver model, the high-fat group was fed with high-fat diet, and the control group was fed with normal diet; in the HepG2 cell steatosis model, the high-fat group was induced by palmitic acid(PA), and the control group was cultured with DMEM. The fat body size of the third instar larvae of Drosophila melanogaster was photographed. Steatosis in mice liver and HepG2 cells was observed by H&E and Oil Red staining. The expression levels of ATF6, Bip and CHOP in the third instar larvae, liver tissues of mice and HepG2 cells were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) and Western blot.
Results :
In Drosophila model, fat body and fat storage were obviously increased in high fat fed flies when compared with control group. The formation of liver fat droplets and cells vacuolation were confirmed by H&E and Oil Red staining in mice livers fed with high fat and HepG2 cells with palmitic acid treatment. The expression levels of ATF6, Bip and CHOP were significantly increased in third instar larvae and mice livers fed with high fat and palmitic acid treated HepG2 cells with palmitic acid treatment.
Conclusion
High fat may induce the occurrence and development of hepatic steatosis by activating endoplasmic reticulum stress.

The application of Pseudomonas aeruginosa-mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin(PA-MSHA)in the field of an-titumors has been increasing.PA-MSHA has been found to promote tumor cell apoptosis,inhibit tumor cell invasion and migration,differentiation,and change drug resistance and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation(EMT)by inhibiting the EGFR pathway.Meanwhile,PA-MSHA also enhances the immune killing and inhibition of macrophages and T cells to tumor cells through toll-like receptors(TLRs).In this paper,we reviewed the reported anti-tumor mechanism and clinical application of PA-MSHA,suggesting that PA-MSHA may alter the glycosylation of EGFR and TLR proteins by acting on the regulatory process of the cellular mannosy-lation process.PA-MSHA can act on cell membrane proteins,including more receptors with high-mannosylation of signaling path-ways.Elucidating the deep relationship between PA-MSHA and mannosylation is of great significance for the mechanism research and clinical application of PA-MSHA.

Objective:
To assess the status of current e cigarette perception and its influencing factors among adolescents in Shanghai, so as to provide reference for the refinement of the prevention and control measures of teenagers e cigarette use.
Methods:
From May to June 2021, a stratified random cluster sampling was used to investigate 7 456 junior high and high school students in Shanghai. Harm and benefit perception of e cigarette as well as its social environment benefits were collected.
Results:
The rate of adolescents ever and current e cigarette use was 3.19% and 1.09%, respectively. The top four risk factors for low harm perception of e cigarette were adolescent e cigarette use( OR=2.74, 95%CI =2.10-3.59), high school students ( OR=1.47, 95%CI = 1.32 - 1.64 ), family members ( OR=1.45, 95%CI =1.24-1.70) and friends ( OR=1.36, 95%CI =1.20-1.54) using e cigarette. Adolescent ecigarette use ( OR=2.77, 95%CI =1.97-3.89), high school students( OR=2.11, 95%CI =1.89-2.36), friends ( OR= 1.63, 95%CI =1.42-1.87) and family members using e cigarette( OR=1.39, 95%CI =1.18-1.65) were the top four associated factors for high benefit perception of e cigarette. And, adolescent e cigarette use ( OR=1.95, 95%CI =1.47-2.59), high school students ( OR= 1.73, 95%CI =1.55-1.93), friends ( OR=1.60, 95%CI =1.40-1.82) and pocket money≥200 yuan using e cigarette( OR= 1.29 , 95%CI =1.17-1.43) were the top four risk factors for high social environmental benefit perception of e cigarette. Moreover, perception of e cigarette harm, benefit and social environmental benefit were associated with the risk of future use of e cigarette( OR = 0.78,1.44,1.21, P <0.01).
Conclusion
Being high school students and using e cigarette by oneself, friends, and family members are the important influencing factors for adolescents e cigarette perception. Both low harm and high benefit perception of e cigarette elevate the risk of future e cigarette use among adolescents, so effective measures should be taken to promote control education about e cigarette and smoke free environment construction.

Intensive cancer treatment with drug combination is widely exploited in the clinic but suffers from inconsistent pharmacokinetics among different therapeutic agents.To overcome it,the emerging nanomedicine offers an unparalleled opportunity for encapsulating multiple drugs in a nano-carrier.Herein,a two-step super-assembled strategy was performed to unify the pharmacokinetics of a pep-tide and a small molecular compound.In this proof-of-concept study,the bioinformatics analysis firstly revealed the potential synergies towards hepatoma therapy for the associative inhibition of exportin 1(XPO1)and ataxia telangiectasia mutated-Rad3-related(ATR),and then a super-assembled nano-pill(gold nano drug carrier loaded AZD6738 and 97-110 amino acids of apoptin(AP)(AA@G))was con-structed through camouflaging AZD6738(ATR small-molecule inhibitor)-binding human serum albumin onto the AP-Au supramolecular nanoparticle.As expected,both in vitro and in vivo experiment results verified that the AA@G possessed extraordinary biocompatibility and enhanced therapeutic effect through inducing cell cycle arrest,promoting DNA damage and inhibiting DNA repair of hepatoma cell.This work not only provides a co-delivery strategy for intensive liver cancer treatment with the clinical translational potential,but develops a common approach to unify the pharmacokinetics of peptide and small-molecular compounds,thereby extending the scope of drugs for developing the advanced com-bination therapy.

In recent years, with the vigorous marketing of e-cigarette manufacturers, e-cigarettes have become a popular tobacco product for adolescents. The problem of e-cigarette environmental exposure among adolescents is also getting worse and its associated adverse impacts cannot be ignored. However, domestic research on the environmental exposure to e-cigarettes among youth is insufficient, and experience on e-cigarette regulation is also limited. This review first briefly introduced the definition and sources of e-cigarette environment exposure, then focused on the differences of e-cigarette environmental exposure among adolescents with different characteristics to identify possible influencing factors, as well as the impacts of e-cigarette environmental exposure on adolescents, and finally summarized international countermeasures to prevent e-cigarette environmental exposure in adolescents, aiming to provide directional guidance for China to conduct e-cigarette control activities among adolescents.

Objective To investigate the effects of Ligustilide on the withdrawal syndromes syn-dromes and monoamine neurotransmitters of hypothalamus and nucleus accumbens in morphine-dependent rats. Methods Totally 60 SD rats were divided into control group,model group,clonidine group and Ligust-ilide high(80 mg/kg),medium(40 mg/kg) and low(20 mg/kg) dose group according to the random number table with 10 in each group. Rats were given in gradual increasing doses of morphine to produce physical de-pendence. Morphine withdrawal syndrome was precipitated by naloxone and withdrawal symptoms were evalu-ated by Ryuta Tomoji score. The level of norepinephrine ( NE), dopamine ( DA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in rats were tested with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Results The total score of somatic withdrawal syndromes in the control group,model group,clonidine group and Ligustilide low,medium and high dose group were 0,(31. 83±7. 33),(17. 92±6. 88),(25. 58±5. 99),(19. 88±4. 82) and (16. 75 ±4. 01) . Compared with the model group,the morphine withdrawal syndromes scores of Ligustilide low,me- dium and high dose groups and clonidine group were reduced(all P<0. 05). The level of NE,DA and 5-HT in hypothalamus and nucleus accumbens were increased compared with that of control group. Compared with the model group,the level of NE,DA and 5-HT in hypothalamus and nucleus accumbens of Ligustilide low, medium and high dose groups and clonidine group were significantly reduced (P<0. 05). Conclusion Ligu-stilide can effectively alleviate the symptoms in morphine-withdrawal rats,which may be related to the inhibi-tion of excessive release of monoamine neurotransmitters in hypothalamus and nucleus accumbens.
