Objective To explore the association between green space and the risk of dyslipidemia. Methods “Dyslipidemia” and “ Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)” were used as search terms to search PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases for studies up to September 2023. ARHQ statistical assessment and review tool and NOS scale were employed to evaluate the quality of the studies. R 4.3.1 software was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 11 studies were included, of which 5 cross-sectional studies and 5 cohort studies were rated as “high quality”. The results of meta-analysis showed that an increase in NDVI in some buffer zones was associated with reduced risks of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C, and high LDL-C, while an increase in NDVI in 100m buffer zone was significantly associated with reduced risks of all these four diseases, with hypercholesterolemia (OR=0.87, P<0.05), hypertriglyceridemia (OR=0.94, P<0.05), low HDL-C (OR=0.95, P<0.05), and high LDL-C (OR=0.87, P<0.05). Sensitivity analysis suggested that the results of most meta-analyses were robust. Conclusion With the increase in green space near residential areas, the risk of dyslipidemia may decrease.

Objective To investigate the effect and potential molecular mechanism of PTGS2 on the prognosis of colon cancer patients.Methods The transcriptomic and proteomic data of pan-cancer were collected from TCGA,HPA,UALCAN and other databases,and the expression pattern and prognostic value of PTGS2 were analyzed by combining the clinical data such as staging,histology,survival time and so on.Based on GSEA,the biological functions which were significantly activated in patients with high expression of PTGS2 were iden-tified and the colon cancer cell line SW480 was used as an example for in vitro validation.PTGS2 over-expressing cell strains were constructed,and the effect on cell proliferation was determined by CCK8 method.Different concen-trations of H2O2 were used to form gradient oxidative stress,and the changes in cell antioxidant capacity were detected.The regulatory mechanism was preliminarily verified by Western blot.Results The transcription and expression of PTGS2 were found to be significantly up-regulated in colon cancer patients(P<0.05),and the increased expression of PTGS2 was associated with an increased mortality risk(P<0.05).Data analysis and in vitro experiments showed that over-expression of PTGS2 may promote the proliferation of colon cancer cells by activating the mTOR pathway.The antioxidant effect of cells was regulated by up-regulating oxidative stress regulatory proteins SOD2 and NRF2.Conclusions PTGS2 is a potential risk factor for colon cancer and its over-expression promotes cell proliferation,enhances cell antioxidant effect and is associated with poor progno-sis of colon cancer patients.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a digestive tract tumor that occurs in the epithelial tissues of the gastric mucosa, seriously affecting the life and health of patients, and its mortality rate ranks the third among malignancies. Although medical technology has made great progress in recent years, the progression of GC still cannot be effectively controlled by surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. The pathogenesis of GC is extremely complex and is closely related to the tumor microenvironment, chronic inflammation, and immune escape, among which the reduction of tumor cell apoptosis is one of the important mechanisms for the occurrence and development of GC. Apoptosis refers to the process of spontaneous termination of cell life caused by genes under specific physiological or pathological conditions, which is of great significance for maintaining the stability of the internal environment. Researchers have found that in the GC state, mitochondrial endogenous apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, external death receptors, and other apoptosis pathways are regulated by multiple signaling pathways and genes, which together lead to the decline of GC cell apoptosis rate and thus promote the progression of GC. Chinese medicine is advantageous and characterized by multiple components, multiple targets, synergistic effect, and few adverse reactions. A large number of studies have shown that polysaccharide components, as effective components of Chinese medicine, have biological activities such as cancer inhibition, blood sugar control, anti-inflammation, antioxidant damage, and anti-virus, and can effectively inhibit the deterioration of GC by inducing cell apoptosis, gradually becoming a hot spot in GC drug research and development. However, systematic reviews on the apoptosis of GC induced by Chinese medicine polysaccharides are rarely reported. Therefore, this paper analyzed and summarized the studies of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in promoting apoptosis and interfering with GC, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the basic research, new drug development, and clinical application of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the intervention of GC.
