Objective:To explore the risk fall death associated with compound hot extremes.Methods:This study collected data on fall deaths in Guangdong, Hunan, and Zhejiang Provinces from 2013 to 2018 and matched their exposure to meteorological data. Based on a time-stratified case-crossover design, a conditional logistic regression model embedded with a cross-basis function of the distributed lag nonlinear model was applied to estimate the risk of fall to death due to compound hot extremes.Results:Compared with regular days, compound hot extremes significantly increased the risk of death from falls ( OR=1.19, 95% CI: 1.09-1.30), and women ( OR=1.27, 95% CI: 1.11-1.45) and the elderly age 65 and above ( OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.12-1.39) were more sensitive to compound hot extremes. The maximum duration of compound hot extremes was 7 days, and the maximum intensity was 6.2 ℃, and the duration and intensity were proportional to the risk of death from falls. The risk of death from falls increased by 12% ( OR=1.12, 95% CI: 1.06-1.18) each day, increasing in duration after linearization. The risk of death from falls increased by 16% ( OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.10-1.22) for each 1 ℃ increase in linearized intensity. Conclusion:Compound hot extremes increase the risk of death cases from falls.

Loss-of-function variants in CSDE1 have been strongly linked to neuropsychiatric disorders, yet the precise role of CSDE1 in neurogenesis remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that knockout of Csde1 during cortical development in mice results in impaired neural progenitor proliferation, leading to abnormal cortical lamination and embryonic lethality. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that Csde1 upregulates the transcription of genes involved in the cell cycle network. Applying a dual thymidine-labelling approach, we further revealed prolonged cell cycle durations of neuronal progenitors in Csde1-knockout mice, with a notable extension of the G1 phase. Intersection with CLIP-seq data demonstrated that Csde1 binds to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA transcripts encoding cell cycle genes. Particularly, we uncovered that Csde1 directly binds to the 3' UTR of mRNA transcripts encoding Cdk6, a pivotal gene in regulating the transition from the G1 to S phases of the cell cycle, thereby maintaining its stability. Collectively, this study elucidates Csde1 as a novel regulator of Cdk6, sheds new light on its critical roles in orchestrating brain development, and underscores how mutations in Csde1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death modality triggered by the accumulation of lipid peroxides and is closely linked to tumor pathogenesis. Ferritinophagy refers to the selective autophagic degradation of ferritin, releasing intracellular stored iron to maintain iron metabolic homeostasis. This process is also significantly associated with tumor-targeted interventions. This review systematically elucidates the mechanisms of ferroptosis and ferritinophagy, their roles in tumor progression, and the therapeutic potential of pharmacologically induced ferritinophagy in anticancer strategies.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) has become an increasingly serious public health issue, characterized by high incidence and high disability rates. It often coexists with other mental health problems and physical diseases, with a significant negative impact on patients' quality of life. In clinical practice, MDD is considered a heterogeneous disease. The complexity of the pathological mechanisms and the variability in treatment responses lead to a lack of clear therapeutic targets, which complicates the treatment process. In recent years, with advancements in neuroscience, the crucial role of microglia in the pathogenesis of MDD has been revealed. As the main immune cells in the brain, microglia are not only involved in the regulation of neuroinflammation but also play important roles in neurogenesis and neuronal regulation in MDD. This article mainly discusses the role of microglia in the pathophysiological mechanisms of MDD, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for microglia as a potential target for the treatment of MDD.

Most of the maxillary impacted third molars are located in the maxillary tuberosity,where the vision and op-eration space are limited.This paper reports a case of surgical extraction of the left maxillary horizontal superhigh impact-ed third molar,which is located between the roots of the adjacent teeth and is closely related to the maxillary sinus.The digital simulation technology was used to reconstruct a three-dimensional visual image of the patient's maxilla,related teeth,and other adjacent anatomical structures to assist in finding the optimal surgical method accurately.Root dis-location before the crown not only protects the roots of the adjacent tooth,but also reduces the risk of maxillary sinus lining damage or perforation during operative procedures,improves the efficiency of the operation,and reduces surgical trauma,which conforms to the concept of minimally inva-sive surgery and provides a new idea and experience for the clinical extraction of such maxillary impacted third molars.

Objective To investigate the effects of alcoholic extract of Hemerocallis citrina Baroni on the depressive-like behaviors in zebrafish larvae(Danio rerio)induced by reserpine.Methods Zebrafish larvae were divided into various groups:control(Con)group,reserpine group,fluoxetine group,H.citrina alcohol extract(HCE)low dose group(1.5 mg/L),HCE medium dose group(3 mg/L),and HCE high dose group(4.5 mg/L).Depressive-like behaviors were analyzed using sound and light stimulation.Real-time PCR was used to investigate the effects of HCE on depression related astrocyte markers(GFAP,C3,C4B,EMP-1,S100α-10)and the neurotrophic factor BDNF and its receptor genes(P75,TrkB).Results In comparison to the control group,the model group demonstrated significantly shorter movement distance and reduced movement time under sound and light stimulation(P<0.05,P<0.001,P<0.0001).Following the administration of HCE,zebrafish larvae exhibited significantly heightened sensitivity to light and sound stimulation compared to the model group(P<0.05,P<0.0001).Astrocyte marker genes were up-regulated in the model group zebrafish brains compared to the control group(P<0.0001).However,when the model group was administered HCE,the expression of astrocyte markers was significantly down-regulated compared to the model group(P<0.0001).Neurotrophic factor and its receptor genes(BDNF,P75,TrkB)were down-regulated in zebrafish brains in the model group compared to those in the control group(P<0.0001).However,in the group administered HCE,the expression of BDNF,P75,and TrkB was significantly up-regulated compared to that in the model group(P<0.01,P<0.0001).These findings suggest that HCE suppressed the inflammatory responses caused by astrocyte activation and promoted the production of neurotrophic factors and their receptor genes,thereby exerting an ameliorative effect on depression.Conclusions Alcoholic extracts of H.citrina can ameliorate the depression-like behavioral changes induced by reserpine in zebrafish larvae.They reduce the expression of astrocyte markers in the zebrafish brain and promote the production of neurotrophic factors and their receptor genes,playing an antidepressant role.
