As a traditional nutritional and healthy cash crop in China, tea has certain significance in promoting human health and preventing and controlling chronic diseases. Studies have shown that the nutritional health effect of tea is due to its rich functional components, mainly including tea polyphenols, tea pigments, tea polysaccharides, theanine, alkaloids and other bioactive substances. At present, researchers from the academic circles have continuously carried out animal and human experiments on the health effects of various functional components of tea, which has accumulated abundant research data and materials. Based on this, this article reviews the literature on the nutritional and health effects of the main functional components of tea, and adopts the method of evidence-based research to screen and extract relevant data for qualitative and quantitative meta-analysis. Subsequently, the nutritional health effects of the five functional components of tea, namely tea polyphenols, tea pigments, tea polysaccharides, theanine, and alkaloids, are summarized and outlined. Studies have shown that tea polyphenols, tea pigments, tea polysaccharides, theanine and alkaloids have different health effects and are expected to play their unique roles in promoting human health and preventing and controlling diseases.

Rheumatoid arthritis （RA）， as an autoimmune disease， is mainly characterized by persistent synovitis. It often involves multiple joints symmetrically and can lead to joint deformity， joint function loss， and even disability in severe cases. The pathogenesis of RA is complex， and the prevention and treatment are complicated. Therefore， it is difficult to cure the disease completely. Previous studies have validated important targets and mechanisms for the prevention and treatment of RA， including the nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway that controls the inflammatory process， nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） signaling pathway that regulates oxidative stress， inhibits inflammation， and maintains cell homeostasis， Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway that plays a key role in cell growth， differentiation， apoptosis， and inflammatory response， anti-inflammatory， anti-oxidation， and silent information regulator 1 （SIRT1） signaling pathway that regulates synovial cells， anti-inflammatory adenylate-activated protein kinase （AMPK） signaling pathway that regulates energy metabolism， and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α）/vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） signaling pathway related to angiogenesis in RA. At the same time， many studies have confirmed that traditional Chinese medicine prevents and treats RA by regulating the above signaling pathways and exerting their related effects， indicating the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine such as multiple regulatory pathways， long-term effects， and less adverse reactions. In this paper， by consulting many research reports， the role of the above-mentioned signaling pathways in RA was clarified， and the latest research results of traditional Chinese medicine intervention in the above-mentioned signaling pathways in the prevention and treatment of RA in recent years were summarized in detail. This paper aims to promote the in-depth study of the pathogenesis of RA and its treatment with traditional Chinese medicine， provide a scientific basis for the rational application of traditional Chinese medicine， and offer useful enlightenment for the development of new drugs and clinical practice for the treatment of RA in the future.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of abdominal ultrasound-guided endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy(ERAT)with laparoscopic appendectomy(LA)for acute uncomplicated appendicitis using propensity score matching.Methods The clinical data of 441 patients with acute uncomplicated appendicitis admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from March 2020 to April 2023 were collected.The cases were classified based on the differences in surgical method and divided into the ERAT group(n = 30)and LA group(n = 411).The clinical efficacy of patients was compared between the two groups after reducing confounding bias by propensity score matching(PSM).Results After PSM,a total of 30 pairs of patients in the two groups were successfully matched,and the baseline data of the two groups met the requirements for comparability.At 24 hours after the operation,the ERAT group exhibited lower white blood cells,neutrophil counts,and C-reactive protein levels compared to the LA group,and these differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the operation time and total effective rate between the ERAT group and the LA group(P>0.05).However,the ERAT group had lower intraoperative blood loss and shorter pain relief time compared to the LA group,and these differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Abdominal ultrasound-guided endoscopic retrograde appendicitis treatment is an effective,safe,and feasible technique with good prospects for the treatment of acute uncomplicated appendicitis.

Objective:To explore the relationship between risk perception and health promoting lifestyle profile in population with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and construct a prediction model for clinical screening and targeted intervention.Methods:A cross-sectional survey method was used to select 272 people at moderate and high risk of CVD from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March to August 2022. The general information questionnaire, Chinese version of Attitude and Beliefs about Cardiovascular Disease Knowledge and Risk Questionnaire (ABCD-C), and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP Ⅱ) were used. Based on multiple regression analysis, a nomogram model for health promoting lifestyle in high-risk CVD population was constructed.Results:Among 272 participants, male 150 cases, female 122 cases, aged (60.58 ± 10.64) years old. The total ABCD-C score was (56.57 ± 5.69), and the total HPLP Ⅱ score was (111.92 ± 12.47). ABCD-C score was significantly positively correlated with HPLP Ⅱ score ( r=0.556, P<0.01). The median of HPLP Ⅱ total score (111 points) was used as the cut-off point for low level of health-promoting lifestyle (≤111 points) and high level of health-promoting lifestyle (>111 points), and used it as the dependent variable, smoking ( OR=0.215, 95% CI 0.104-0.446) was a barrier factor for participants to adopt healthy lifestyle; being married ( OR=14.237, 95% CI 1.963-103.238), having a family average monthly income higher than 5 000 yuan ( OR=4.101, 95% CI 1.369-12.288), higher score of CVD prevention knowledge ( OR=1.660, 95% CI 1.373-2.007), perceived benefits and intention to change physical activity ( OR=1.445, 95% CI 1.255-1.663), perceived benefits and intention to change healthy diet ( OR=1.322, 95% CI 1.058-1.654) were promoting factors. Conclusions:The health-promoting lifestyle of populations at risk for CVD is above-average, influenced by factors such as smoking, marital and economic status, risk attitudes, and beliefs. Utilizing the nomogram model for early screening and targeted risk communication among key populations may contribute to improving their health behavior.

Objective:To prepare a 177Lu labeled human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) affibody 177Lu-1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane-1, 4, 7-triacetic acid (NOTA)-maleimide (Mal)-cysteine (Cys)-ZHER 2: 342 ( 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 for short), and investigate its labeling process and anti-tumor properties. Methods:Two kinds of buffer systems (sodium acetate buffer system and sodium ascorbate buffer system) were investigated. The effects of pH value, precursor mass and reaction temperature on 177Lu labeling NOTA-MZHER2 were compared to obtain optimal labeling conditions. The radiochemical purity of labeled product was determined by instant thin-layer chromatography (ITLC), and its stabilities in PBS and plasma were observed. Human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV-3 was selected for cell internalization and cytotoxicity test to evaluate cell uptake and killing effect of 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2. SKOV-3 tumor-bearing mice( n=3) were injected with 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2, and microSPECT/CT imaging was performed. Another 40 tumor-bearing mice were divided into 22.2 MBq group (tail vein injection with probe of 22.2 MBq), control group (tail vein injection with PBS), low-dose group (tumor injection with probe of 3.7 MBq) and high-dose group (tumor injection with probe of 7.4 MBq). Tumor volume and mass of tumor-bearing mice were monitored after injection, and the anti-tumor effect and toxicity of probe were evaluated. Repeated measurement analysis of variance (Bonferroni method) was used to analyze the data. Results:The optimal labeling condition was 70-80 ℃ for 30 min in the system of sodium acetate buffer solution with pH=4 and precursor mass of 50 μg. Under these conditions, the labeling rate of 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 was (99.3±0.4)% and radiochemical purity was >99%. After 12 d in PBS and plasma, the radiochemical purities were (95.0±1.5)% and (95.0±2.1)%. Results of cell experiment showed that the internalization of 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 accounted for (29.02±3.50)% of the total uptake, and the survival rate of SKOV-3 cells was (48±6)% with the probe concerntration of 6×10 -3 Bq/L. SPECT imaging showed that 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 was still concentrated at the tumor site 96 h after injection with a dose of 18.5 MBq. Relative tumor volume (RTV) of tumor-bearing mice in 22.2 MBq group, high-dose group and low-dose group was significantly different from that in control group ( F=21.75, P<0.001). Twenty days after injection, RTV and relative body mass of the tumor-bearing mice in high-dose group were (140±7)% and (80±9)%, respectively. Compared with control group, high-dose group had obvious anti-tumor effect (both P<0.001). Conclusion:177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 is successfully prepared, which is simple and efficient, and the probe has good anti-tumor effect.

Objective: To investigate the pyroptosis-inducing effects of celastrol on tumor cells and to explore the potential mechanisms involved, specifically focusing on the role of the caspase-3/gasdermin E (GSDME) signaling pathway and the impact of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy. Methods: Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1), lactate dehydrogenase release (LDH) assay, and Hoechst/propidium iodide (PI) double staining were employed to validate the mode of cell death. Western blot was used to detect the cleavage of GSDME and the expression of light chain 3 (LC3) and BIP. Results: Celastrol induced cell swelling with large bubbles, which is consistent with the pyroptotic phenotype. Moreover, treatment with celastrol induced GSDME cleavage, indicating the activation of GSDME-mediated pyroptosis. GSDME knockout via CRISPR/Cas9 blocked the pyroptotic morphology of celastrol in HeLa cells. In addition, cleavage of GSDME was attenuated by a specific caspase-3 inhibitor in celastrol-treated cells, suggesting that GSDME activation was induced by caspase-3. Mechanistically, celastrol induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy in HeLa cells, and other ER stress inducers produced effects consistent with those of celastrol. Conclusion These findings suggest that celastrol triggers caspase-3/GSDME-dependent pyroptosis via activation of ER stress, which may shed light on the potential antitumor clinical applications of celastrol.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is characterized by abnormal lipid deposition in the liver and its mechanism is closely related to insulin resistance, lipid metabolism disorders, oxidative stress, and abnormalities of the gut-liver axis. Currently, there is no effective treatment for this disease. Silent information regulator 2 (SIRT2) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺)-dependent deacetylase which performs various pathophysiological functions by interacting with different substrates. For example, it is involved in improving metabolic homeostasis, alleviating liver inflammation, promoting liver regeneration, and delaying the progression of MASLD. In this paper, we present a review of the mechanism of action of SIRT2 in MASLD to analyze the potential value of SIRT2 as a therapeutic target in MASLD.
