The Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) control natural killer (NK) cells development and cytotoxic functions, however, whether long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in this pathway remains unknown. We found that miR155HG was elevated in activated NK cells and promoted their proliferation and effector functions in both NK92 and induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived NK (iPSC-NK) cells, without reliance on its derived miR-155 and micropeptide P155. Mechanistically, miR155HG bound to miR-6756 and relieved its repression of JAK3 expression, thereby promoting the JAK-STAT pathway and enhancing NK cell proliferation and function. Further investigations disclosed that upon cytokine stimulation, STAT3 directly interacts with miR155HG promoter and induces miR155HG transcription. Collectively, we identify a miR155HG-mediated positive feedback loop of the JAK-STAT signaling. Our study will also provide a power target regarding miR155HG for improving NK cell generation and effector function in the field of NK cell adoptive transfer therapy against cancer, especially iPSC-derived NK cells.

Objective To measure the range of cervical spine mobility in flight trainees and analyze its correlation with flight task performance.Methods A total of 55 participants were enrolled(30 in the experimental group,25 in the control group).An independently developed AI-based digital cervical spine function assessment system was used to measure rotational ranges in yaw,pitch,and roll directions,with comparative analysis performed against contralateral rotation.A subjective scoring scale was designed,and flight instructors of the experimental group were invited to provide performance ratings to explore the relationship between cervical mobility and flight task performance.Results Significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups in left rotation(P<0.01),right rotation(P<0.05),and flexion(P<0.05).Within the experimental group,significant differences were found between left and right rotation(P<0.01)and between flexion and extension(P<0.01).Correlation analysis between flight performance scores and cervical mobility revealed a significant association between situational awareness and yaw range(r=-0.415,P<0.05).Conclusion The experimental group exhibited significant differences in certain cervical mobility parameters compared to the control group,suggesting that occupational characteristics may influence cervical mobility.The correlation between yaw range and situational awareness implies a potential link between head-neck yaw capability and vestibular-visual system functions,though further validation is required.

Objective To develop a full system to monitor G-induced loss of consciousness(G-LOC)of pilots caused by continuous positive acceleration and wake up them in time,so as to shorten the airborne unconsciousness time of pilots.Methods The system used MPU6050 sensor and SICHIRAY muscle sensor to obtain the head posture and electromyogram(EMG)characteristics of the pilot's environment in real time.After system hardware design,main program design,head posture monitoring module design,EMG signal acquisition and processing module and upper computer interface display design,the system test and centrifuge test were carried out.The system test set the threshold of the EMG signal and the head posture angle by collecting the EMG signals of the subjects 2 min at rest and under muscle contraction and the head posture angle of the human body looking forward and bowing as hard as possible,and the acceleration threshold was the gravity acceleration in the test environment.The centrifuge test simulated the process of raising and bowing of the human body by placing the position of the attitude angle on the animal centrifuge.The acceleration threshold was set at 3 G,and the positive acceleration of this test environment was 4,6,and 8 G.Results The system could capture the head posture and the physiological characteristics of EMG signals in real time,send out voice reminders in time,and could immediately enter the alarm wake-up mode when failed to receive feedback(head up,EMG recovery)within fixed time.And it could be used on centrifuges.Conclusion This system has complete function,complete logic and strong practicability.It is possible for practical application after further experimental improvement.

Aviation accidents caused by the illusion of black holes have occurred frequently,but there is no reasonable and consistent explanation for the internal mechanism and causal relationship of this problem,and further exploration is still needed.This article gives an overview of the phenomenon of black hole illusion,then reviews various mechanism hypotheses,verification and evaluation for the early stage of black hole illusion,and elaborates a novel mechanism hypothesis—line deviation illusion,and its verification methods.We also sum up identification and prevention strategies for black hole illusion,aiming to lay a foundation for subsequent research.

With the continuous advancement of manned deep space exploration technology,the duration of astronauts'missions will significantly lengthen,posing new challenges for astronauts'health protection.Putting astronauts into a state of low metabolism through various means may be a feasible response.This article qualitatively explores the advantages,disadvantages,external opportunities,and threats of astronauts'low metabolic flights in deep space exploration missions through SWOT analysis,and puts forward relevant suggestions and strategies,thus providing important basis and reference for the research on astronauts'low metabolic flights in deep space exploration missions.

Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening vascular disease due to the tearing of aortic intimal layer, leading to the formation of pseudocavity. Once the acute progression of dissection happens, serious complications such as rupture and stroke may occur. The current imaging examinations for AD are invasive and may cause adverse effects related to contrast medium, which cannot be used for large-scale screening of AD. The latest studies have found that metabolic processes and metabolites of lipids,saccarides and proteins are involved in the pathogenesis and development of AD. In this article, we review the research progress in the caracteristics of AD related metabolism,summarize changes of specific metabolites in AD,and explore the clinical implication of studies on AD related metaboliome..
