BACKGROUND:A novel aggregation induced luminescence fluorescence probe based on the mechanism of intramolecular motility restriction can be used for the detection of disease markers,tumor diagnosis,and bacterial imaging recognition.OBJECTIVE:To prepare a near-infrared Ⅱ nanoprobe called FA-DSPE-PEG-AIE@NPs based on aggregation-induced luminescence,and to explore its potential of targeted fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy for prostate cancer.METHODS:Lecithin,polyethylene glycol phospholipids,folate polyethylene glycol phospholipids,and aggregation induced luminescent molecule 2TT-oC26B were used as raw materials.The folate-targeted nanoprobe FA-DSPE-PEG-AIE@NPs were prepared by nanoprecipitation method,and basic characterization of the nanoprobe was detected.PC3 human prostate cancer cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were selected as experimental objects.The cytotoxicity and phototoxicity of FA-DSPE-PEG-AIE@NPs were detected.PC3 human prostate cancer cells were selected as the experimental objects.Flow cytometry and calcein/propidium iodide staining were used to assess the efficacy of photothermal therapy.PC3 human prostate cancer cells were injected subcutaneously into the abdomen of BALB/C nude mice to establish a tumor model,and nanoprobes FA-DSPE-PEG-AIE@NPs were injected into the tail vein.The mice were immediately subjected to near-infraced Ⅱ fluorescence imaging.12 hours later,the tumor was irradiated by laser for 5 minutes,and the photothermal treatment effect was observed within 14 days.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The nanoprobes FA-DSPE-PEG-AIE@NPs with a mean diameter of(171.0±0.3)nm showed a well-defined spherical morphology.The nanoprobe had a wide absorption spectrum and tail emission extending to the near-infrared Ⅱ which emitted a bright near-infrared Ⅱ fluorescence signal under laser irradiation.(2)The nanoprobes FA-DSPE-PEG-AIE@NPs had low cytotoxicity and high phototoxicity.The results of flow cytometry and calcein/propidium iodide staining showed that nanoprobes FA-DSPE-PEG-AIE@NPs had an obvious photothermal killing effect on human prostate cancer cells.(3)The nanoprobes FA-DSPE-PEG-AIE@NPs successfully achieved near-infrared Ⅱ fluorescence imaging of mouse blood vessels and the maximum enrichment time of the tumor was 12 hours.The vessel widths of the hind leg and single blood vessels of abdomen were estimated to be 0.63 mm and 0.42 mm.The tumor volume of mice was significantly smaller after 14 days of treatment.(4)The results show that nanoprobes FA-DSPE-PEG-AIE@NPs can achieve near-infrared Ⅱ fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy of prostate cancer effectively,which may provide a new method for early diagnosis and combined treatment of prostate cancer.

BACKGROUND:Elderly people with mild cognitive impairment experience a decline in postural control ability due to cognitive function decline,making them more prone to falls.The dual-task paradigm,which more closely mirrors daily life,is often used to assess postural control ability.However,previous dual-task studies on cognition and postural control in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment have mainly focused on the external manifestations of postural control,with direct evidence of central nervous mechanisms still lacking.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the activation characteristics of the cerebral somatic sensorimotor cortex in the elderly people with mild cognitive impairment while performing the dual task of stance postural control and spatial working memory.METHODS:Participants were screened using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment,enrolling 16 elderly people with mild cognitive impairment and 17 healthy older people.They performed five task tests:spatial working memory,dual-feet balance stance,Romberg stance,dual task of dual-feet balance stance and spatial working memory,and dual task of Romberg stance and spatial working memory.Functional near-infrared spectroscopy and a three-dimentional force platform were used simultaneously to collect data on cerebral cortex(20 channels)hemodynamics and center of pressure swing trajectory.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In Romberg stance,dual task of dual-feet balance stance and spatial working memory,and dual task of Romberg stance and spatial working memory tasks,center of pressure displacements in anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions were significantly greater in mild cognitive impairment elderly people than that in normal elder people(P<0.05).In dual task of dual-feet balance stance and spatial working memory task,ΔHbO2 at channel 15(right pre-motor cortex and supplementary motor area)was significantly greater in mild cognitive impairment elderly people than that in normal elder people(P<0.05).In dual task of Romberg stance and spatial working memory task,ΔHbO2 at channels 15 and 17(right pre-motor cortex and supplementary motor area)was significantly greater in the elderly people with mild cognitive impairment compared with the healthy older people(P<0.05).In dual task of Romberg stance and spatial working memory task,a significantly positive correlation in the elderly people with mild cognitive impairment(r=0.659,P<0.05)and a strong positive correlation in the healthy older people were observed between center of pressure displacement in medial-lateral direction and ΔHbO2 at channel 15(r=0.840,P<0.05).The results indicate that compared with the cognitively normal healthy older people,the elderly people with mild cognitive impairment showed weaker stance postural control capability during the dual task of stance postural control and spatial working memory,with higher activation levels in the right pre-motor cortex and supplementary motor area.The increased brain resource allocation for lateral postural control may represent the brain compensation mechanism in the elderly people with mild cognitive impairment due to cognitive decline leading to weakened stance postural control ability.

Objective To conduct a cross-sectional study on the relationship between the serum uric acid(sUA)to high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C)ratio(UHR)and female infertility.Methods We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES)2013-2018 cycle,examining 2,963 women aged 18 to 45 years.A multivariable Logistic regression model was used to assess the association between UHR and infertility,adjusting for various confounding factors.The study also explored interactions and dose-response relationships through subgroup analyses and restricted cubic spline(RCS)models,and evaluated the predictive value of UHR for infertility by using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.Results The results showed that the prevalence of infertility was significantly higher among women with elevated UHR.Baseline characteristics revealed that the mean UHR in women with infertility(9.68±4.23)was significantly higher than in those without infertility(8.7±3.81,P<0.001).Multivariable Logistic regression analysis indicated that women in the highest quartile(Q4)of UHR had a significantly increased likelihood of infertility compared to those in the lowest quartile(Q1),with adjusted odds ratios(ORs)ranging from 1.61(95% CI:1.14-2.28)to 1.98(95% CI:1.42-2.78)across different models(P for trend<0.001).Subgroup analyses demonstrated that these associations were consistent across different age groups,body mass index(BMI)categories,and racial groups.The RCS model showed a significant linear dose-response relationship between UHR and infertility risk(nonlinear P=0.03,overall association P<0.001).Additionally,ROC analysis indicated that UHR had a moderate ability to discriminate infertility status,with an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.570.Conclusion A higher UHR is significantly associated with an increased risk of female infertility,and UHR has the potential to serve as a predictive biomarker for the risk of female infertility.
