With the rapid development of mobile internet technology, mobile health application (mHealth APP) are increasingly widely used in the field of health management and have been proven to play an important role in the management of chronic diseases. Solid organ transplant recipients face complex health management needs after surgery, including postoperative follow-up, medication management, prevention and treatment of complications and comorbidities, and lifestyle adjustment. mHealth APP can provide solid organ transplant recipients with convenient self-management tools. Although some progress has been made in this field, there are still many challenges, such as insufficient user experience, technological dependence, and data security risks. Therefore, this article discusses the development process, main functions and current application status of mHealth APP, and analyzes its advantages in improving the self-management ability of solid organ transplant recipients, promoting doctor-patient communication and reducing the incidence of complications. At the same time, based on the practical experience of author’s team in developing the “TransMate” mHealth APP, we propose the directions that mHealth APPs should focus on in the future, in order to provide more effective support and services for the health management of solid organ transplant recipients.

Objective Uranium compounds are critical materials in the nuclear industry, and their mining, processing, and use pose occupational exposure risks. Epidemiological studies have shown that uranium exposure can impair health, with acute uranium poisoning primarily causing structural and functional damage to the kidneys. Currently, the molecular mechanisms underlying uranium-induced kidney injury remain unclear, and traditional biological models used in toxicological research are inadequate for simulating the human microenvironment. This study employed a human kidney organoid model system to elucidate the nephrotoxic mechanisms of uranyl ions, providing a scientific basis for the prevention and control of uranium poisoning. Methods Kidney organoids were constructed using the human embryonic stem cell line H1 and exposed to solutions with different uranyl ion concentrations. Morphological observation, ATP detection, reactive oxygen species detection, apoptosis assay, and untargeted metabolomics analysis were performed. Mechanisms of toxicity were further explored through KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Results Uranium exposure led to structural damage in the organoids, accompanied by a dose-dependent decrease in ATP levels, accumulation of reactive oxygen species, and increased apoptosis rate. After 24-hour exposure to 300 μmol/L uranium, significantly disturbed differential metabolites and five core metabolic pathways were identified. Conclusion Uranium induces oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction (ATP reduction), and metabolic disorder (disruption of phospholipid/amino acid metabolism), which synergistically cause DNA damage, apoptosis, and/or necrosis. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of uranium-induced kidney injury and support the development of prevention and control strategies.

Objective:To compare the effect and biotoxicity of tert-butyl acetate (TBA) and ethyl butyrate (EB) on stone dissolution in vitro.Methods:Ten gallstone samples from patients with multiple gallbladder stones were selected and the cholesterol content was analyzed by HPLC. Stone dissolution tests of TBA and EB were performed on cholesterol gallstone in vitro, and the weight of stone at each time point was recorded, meanwhile, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) was used as the control. The inhibitory effects of MTBE, TBA and EB on proliferation of human normal liver cell line LO2 were analyzed by cell proliferation inhibition assay. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the effects of MTBE, TBA and EB on the early and late apoptosis of LO2 cells, and the changes of reactive oxygen species level in LO2 cells were also analyzed.Results:Of the 10 gallbladder gallstones, 6 were cholesterol gallstones and 4 were non-cholesterol gallstones. Stone dissolution experiment showed that the remaining stones of MTBE, TBA and EB groups were (47.83±3.84)%, (58.12±4.53)% and (75.75±4.61)% 30 minutes later. The remaining stones were (18.38±6.47)%, (33.82±6.22)% and (56.38±3.91)% 90 minutes later. MTBE had the best stone dissolution effect in vitro, the stone dissolution effect of TBA was slightly weaker than MTBE, and the stone dissolution effect of EB was relatively weak in all ( P<0.05). The cell proliferation inhibition experiment showed that the cell viability of the control group, MTBE group and TBA group were (100.00±4.46)%, (96.79±4.32)% and (93.72±3.51)%, respectively, and there were no significant differences among the three groups ( P>0.05). However, the cell viability of EB group (87.57±5.29)% was lower than the above three groups, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.001). The early apoptosis and late apoptosis of the control group were (1.67±0.15)% and (1.27±0.06)%, respectively. EB induced early apoptosis (15.90±0.53)% ( P<0.001) and late apoptosis (5.13±0.76)% ( P<0.05). However, MTBE and TBA had no significant effect on cell apoptosis ( P>0.05). Compared with control group, MTBE, TBA and EB all significantly inhibited the level of reactive oxygen species ( P<0.05), and the inhibitory effect of EB was the most obvious. Conclusions:TBA has good stone dissolution effect and biosafety for gallbladder cholesterol stones in vitro, while EB has relatively poor performance. TBA is a potential drug for gallstone dissolution.

Methods:
From February 2019 to July 2019, 805 senior high school students from 20 classes in 10 middle schools in Zhuhai were selected by multi-stage random sampling method, and randomly divided into two groups based on the class. The final observation group consisted of 405 cases and the control group consisted of 400 cases. The observation group was intervened by neck exercise based with isometric contraction exercise for 12 weeks, while the control group was intervened by routine intervention. The changes of VAS, NDI and PSQI were compared before and after the intervention between the two groups, and the subjects who met the diagnosis criteria of cervical spondylosis were analyzed in subgroups.
Results:
A total of 112 students met the diagnostic criteria of cervical spondylosis, the prevalence rate was 13.9%. among them, 58 cases were diagnosed in the control group and 54 cases in the observation group. After the intervention, the VAS pain level of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (Z=-3.37, P<0.01), and the NDI score was significantly lower than that of the control group (t=-20.05, P<0.01). After the intervention, the PSQI subjective sleep quality, sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorder, daytime dysfunction dimension scores and total scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (t=-10.36, -7.66, -12.39, -9.78, -9.06, -11.31, -16.56, P<0.05).
Conclusion

The solute carrier (SLC) consists of more than 400 transport proteins mediating the influx and efflux of ions, nucleotides, sugars and other exogenous and endogenous substances across biological membranes. Over 80 SLC carrier proteins have been reported to be closely associated with human diseases, in which more than 30 SLC proteins have been regarded as the potential drug targets. SLC13A5 mediates transmembrane transport of substances such as citrate, which is connected with de novo lipid synthesis (DNL). Studies have found that SLC13A5 is related to metabolic diseases such as obesity, insulin resistance (IR), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). At present, there is no specific drug for clinical treatment of metabolic diseases caused by lipid metabolism disorders, especially NAFLD. Therefore, this paper summarizes the effect of SLC13A5 on metabolic regulation and its potential as a pharmacological target for metabolic diseases treatment, aiming to provide a reference for the research and development of drugs related to metabolic diseases.
