Objective The aim of this study was to explore the role and mechanism of ferroptosis in SiO2-induced cardiac injury using a mouse model. Methods Male C57BL/6 mice were intratracheally instilled with SiO2 to create a silicosis model.Ferrostatin-1(Fer-1)and deferoxamine(DFO)were used to suppress ferroptosis.Serum biomarkers,oxidative stress markers,histopathology,iron content,and the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins were assessed. Results SiO2 altered serum cardiac injury biomarkers,oxidative stress,iron accumulation,and ferroptosis markers in myocardial tissue.Fer-1 and DFO reduced lipid peroxidation and iron overload,and alleviated SiO2-induced mitochondrial damage and myocardial injury.SiO2 inhibited Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)and its downstream antioxidant genes,while Fer-1 more potently reactivated Nrf2 compared to DFO. Conclusion Iron overload-induced ferroptosis contributes to SiO2-induced cardiac injury.Targeting ferroptosis by reducing iron accumulation or inhibiting lipid peroxidation protects against SiO2 cardiotoxicity,potentially via modulation of the Nrf2 pathway.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness and safety of low-dose oral misoprostol solution for cervical ripening in late gestation.Methods:This was a prospective cohort study including 396 primiparas with singleton pregnancy who received low-dose oral misoprostol solution for cervical ripening (oral group) in Peking University Third Hospital from March to October 2022. They were further allocated to receive oral misoprostol alone (OA group, n=167) or oral misoprostol in combination with oxytocin/amniotomy (OC group, n=229). Moreover, 218 cases who received vaginal misoprostol for cervical ripening (vaginal group) during the same period in 2021 were reviewed (a retrospective cohort). Among them, 77 were given vaginal misoprostol alone (VA group) and 141 received vaginal misoprostol in combination with oxytocin/amniotomy (VC group). The OA group and VA group (72 and 73 cases) as well as the OC group and VC group (108 and 103 cases) were matched using propensity scores. Basic clinical information, hospital stay, duration of labor induction, uterine hyperstimulation, rate of labor initiation, vaginal delivery rate, rate of delivery within 24 h, duration of labor, neonatal condition, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and other information were compared between different groups. All data were statistically analyzed using independent sample t test, analysis of variance, nonparametric test, Chi-square test, or Fisher's exact probability test. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting the labor initiation and the failure of labor induction. Results:The average hospital stay, the duration from medication to labor initiation and the duration from medication to vaginal delivery were significantly shorter in the oral group than those in the vaginal group [(5.4±2.4) vs. (6.5±2.6) d, (34.2±24.1) vs. (38.9±25.7) h, (45.8±25.8) vs. (53.4±27.8) h; t=5.24, 2.10 and 3.39; all P<0.05]. The total labor initiation rate and vaginal delivery rate in the oral group were significantly higher than those in the vaginal group [92.9% (368/396) vs. 83.5% (182/218), 72.2% (286/396) vs. 60.1% (131/218); χ 2=13.43 and 9.50; both P<0.05]. The incidence of failed induction of labor, uterine hyperstimulation, fetal distress, and intrauterine infection in the oral group were lower than those in the vaginal group [2.0% (8/396) vs. 6.9% (15/218), 4.3% (17/396) vs. 17.9% (39/218), 8.8% (35/396) vs. 14.7% (32/218), 1.3% (5/396) vs. 3.7% (8/218); χ 2=9.21, 31.36, 4.93 and 3.93; all P<0.05]. The duration from medication to labor initiation and to vaginal delivery in the OA group were higher than those in the VA group [(25.8±17.0) vs. (17.4±10.8) h, (37.2±18.8) vs. (29.7±13.5) h; t=3.49 and 2.74; both P<0.05]. There were no significant differences in the labor initiation rate, vaginal delivery rate, rate of delivery within 24 h or the incidence of failed induction of labor between the OA and VA groups (all P>0.05). Women in the VA group were more likely to develop uterine hyperstimulation than those in the OA group [19.2% (14/73) vs. 4.2% (3/72), χ2=7.89, P=0.005]. There were no significant differences in the duration from medication to labor initiation or to vaginal delivery between the VC and OC groups (both P>0.05), but the duration were significantly longer than those in the corresponding medication alone group (VC vs. VA groups: (49.7±24.6) vs. (17.4±10.8) h and (61.6±25.7) vs. (29.7±13.5) h, t=5.31 and 5.13, both P<0.05; OC vs. OA groups: (45.3±26.6) vs. (25.8±17.0) h and (56.1±27.2) vs. (37.2±18.8) h, t=10.35 and 9.78, both P<0.05]. The labor initiation rate, vaginal delivery rate and rate of delivery within 24 h in the OC group were higher than those in the VC group [88.9% (96/108) vs. 77% (87/113), 63.0% (68/108) vs. 47.8% (54/113), 10.3% (7/108) vs. 0.0% (0/113); χ 2=5.49, 5.14 and 7.56; all P<0.05]. The incidence of uterine hyperstimulation in the OC group was 4.6% (5/108), which was lower than that in the VC group [18.6% (21/113), χ 2=10.37, P=0.001]. Logistic regression analysis showed that oral misoprostol and gestational age were positively correlated with labor initiation [ OR (95% CI): 2.18 (1.24-3.90) and 1.43 (1.14-1.79)], while maternal age was negatively correlated with labor initiation [ OR (95% CI): 0.90 (0.82-0.98)]. Moreover, failed induction of labor was negatively correlated with oral misoprostol [ OR (95% CI): 0.37 (0.14-0.91)], but positively correlated with maternal age [ OR (95% CI): 1.21 (1.05-1.40)]. Conclusions:Oral administration of low-dose misoprostol solution is as effective as vaginal misoprostol in promoting cervical ripening. Besides, it can shorten the average hospital stay and reduce the incidence of uterine hyperstimulation, suggesting that low-dose oral misoprostol solution is relatively safer and can be used to promote cervical ripening in late gestation.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of TCM constitution distribution in hepatitis B cirrhosis patients with dysplastic nodules(DN),and to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of precancerous lesions of liver cancer.Methods This study was conducted among 113 hepatitis B cirrhosis patients with DN,105 hepatitis B cirrhosis patients with regenerative nodules(RN),and 70 hepatitis B cirrhosis patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma(sHCC)who were hospitalized in Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from May 2015 to March 2023.Related data were collected,including age,sex,liver function Child-Pugh class,TCM constitution type,and laboratory markers.A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups,and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups;the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups;the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups,and the Bonferroni correction method was used for further comparison between two groups.Results The main TCM constitution types of hepatitis B cirrhosis patients with DN were Qi-deficiency constitution(27 patients,23.89%),blood-stasis constitution(26 patients,23.01%),and phlegm-dampness constitution(23 patients,20.35%).There were significant differences between the three groups in the proportion of patients with phlegm-dampness constitution or damp-heat constitution(χ2=6.822 and 6.383,both P<0.05);the hepatitis B cirrhosis patients with RN had the highest proportion of patients with phlegm-dampness constitution(30.48%),followed by those with DN(20.35%)and those with sHCC(14.29%),while the hepatitis B cirrhosis patients with sHCC had the highest proportion of patients with damp-heat constitution(27.14%),followed by those with DN(16.81%)and those with RN(12.38%).There were significant differences between the hepatitis B cirrhosis DN patients with different TCM constitution types in sex,age,Child-Pugh class,prealbumin,albumin(Alb),aspartate aminotransferase,total bilirubin(TBil),total bile acid,and alpha-fetoprotein(all P<0.05).Compared with the male hepatitis B cirrhosis DN patients,female patients showed a significantly higher proportion of patients with Qi-deficiency constitution(χ2=4.895,P=0.027).Among the patients with Qi-deficiency constitution,the patients with Child-Pugh class A liver function accounted for a significantly lower proportion than those with Child-Pugh class B liver function(χ2=6.380,P=0.012),while among the patients with phlegm-dampness constitution,the patients with Child-Pugh class A liver function accounted for a significantly higher proportion than those with Child-Pugh class B liver function(χ2=8.515,P=0.004).The patients with phlegm-dampness constitution had significantly higher levels of prealbumin and Alb than those with the other four constitutions(all P<0.05),as well as significantly lower levels of TBil and total bile acid than those with damp-heat constitution(P<0.05);the patients with Yin-deficiency constitution had a significantly lower level of Alb than those with qi-deficiency constitution,blood-stasis constitution,or phlegm-dampness constitution(all P<0.05);the patients with Yin-deficiency constitution had a significantly lower proportion of patients with abnormal alpha-fetoprotein than those with non-Yin-deficiency constitutions(χ2=4.448,P=0.035).Conclusion Hepatitis B cirrhosis patients with DN mainly have the TCM constitution types of Qi deficiency,blood stasis,and phlegm dampness.The patients with phlegm-dampness constitution seem to have a low probability of carcinogenesis,while those with damp-heat constitution and Yin-deficiency constitution have a relatively high risk of carcinogenesis.

Objective:To compare the effects of leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (Lp-PRP) and leukocyte-rich platelet-rich plasma (Lr-PRP) on dorsal wound healing in rats.Methods:Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into Lp-PRP group, Lr-PRP group and control group, each containing twelve rats. Venous blood was drawn and the Lp-PRP and Lr-PRP were prepared separately using a centrifugal method. Circular full-thickness skin defect wounds (15 mm in diameter) were created on the backs of the rats in the three groups. The wounds were then treated with 100 μl Lp-PRP, Lr-PRP and saline, respectively. At 7 and 14 days post-operation, the wounds were photographed, and Image J software was used to calculate the wound area rate (postoperative wound area/wound area at modeling time × 100%). At 14 days post-operation, the total neo-epithelium length and collagen deposition rate of the wounds were evaluated using HE and Masson staining, respectively. At 7 days post-operation, the relative expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the wounds was detected by Western blotting, and the number of CD31 positive microvessels in the wounds was examined by immunohistochemistry. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 28.0. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the three groups, and Tukey’s test was used for pairwise comparisons. A significance level of P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Blood analysis revealed that the platelet concentrations in the prepared Lp-PRP and Lr-PRP were 4.1 times and 4.5 times that of whole blood, respectively ( P<0.01), with no significant difference between the two PRPs ( P>0.05). The leukocyte concentration in Lp-PRP was undetectable, while in Lr-PRP, it was 3.5 times that of whole blood ( P<0.01). The wound area rate at 7 and 14 days post-operation, the total neo-epithelium length and collagen deposition rate at 14 days post-operation, as well as the relative expression of VEGF and the number of CD31-positive microvessels at 7 days post-operation in the Lp-PRP and Lr-PRP groups were superior to those in the control group (all P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the two PRP groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Both Lp-PRP and Lr-PRP promote dorsal wound healing in rats by enhancing re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis. The impacts of Lp-PRP and Lr-PRP on promoting wound healing are comparable and not influenced by the presence of leukocytes in PRPs.

Background: The emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 omicron variant has been triggering the new wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) globally. However, the risk factors and outcomes for radiological abnormalities in the early convalescent stage (1 month after diagnosis) of omicron infected patients are still unknown. Methods: Patients were retrospectively enrolled if they were admitted to the hospital due to COVID-19. The chest computed tomography (CT) images and clinical data obtained at baseline (at the time of the first CT image that showed abnormalities after diagnosis) and 1 month after diagnosis were longitudinally analyzed. Uni-/multi-variable logistic regression tests were performed to explore independent risk factors for radiological abnormalities at baseline and residual pulmonary abnormalities after 1 month. Results: We assessed 316 COVID-19 patients, including 47% with radiological abnormalities at baseline and 23% with residual pulmonary abnormalities at 1-month follow-up. In a multivariate regression analysis, age ≥ 50 years, body mass index ≥ 23.87, days after vaccination ≥ 81 days, lymphocyte count ≤ 1.21 × 10 -9 /L, interleukin-6 (IL-6) ≥ 10.05 pg/mL and IgG ≤ 14.140 S/CO were independent risk factors for CT abnormalities at baseline. The age ≥ 47 years, presence of interlobular septal thickening and IL-6 ≥ 5.85 pg/mL were the independent risk factors for residual pulmonary abnormalities at 1-month follow-up. For residual abnormalities group, the patients with less consolidations and more parenchymal bands at baseline could progress on CT score after 1 month. There were no significant changes in the number of involved lung lobes and total CT score during the early convalescent stage. Conclusion The higher IL-6 level was a common independent risk factor for CT abnormalities at baseline and residual pulmonary abnormalities at 1-month follow-up. There were no obvious radiographic changes during the early convalescent stage in patients with residual pulmonary abnormalities.

Brain size abnormality is correlated with an increased frequency of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in offspring. Genetic analysis indicates that heterozygous mutations of the WD repeat domain 62 (WDR62) are associated with ASD. However, biological evidence is still lacking. Our study showed that Wdr62 knockout (KO) led to reduced brain size with impaired learning and memory, as well as ASD-like behaviors in mice. Interestingly, Wdr62 Nex-cKO mice (depletion of WDR62 in differentiated neurons) had a largely normal brain size but with aberrant social interactions and repetitive behaviors. WDR62 regulated dendritic spinogenesis and excitatory synaptic transmission in cortical pyramidal neurons. Finally, we revealed that retinoic acid gavages significantly alleviated ASD-like behaviors in mice with WDR62 haploinsufficiency, probably by complementing the expression of ASD and synapse-related genes. Our findings provide a new perspective on the relationship between the microcephaly gene WDR62 and ASD etiology that will benefit clinical diagnosis and intervention of ASD.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Stigma Maydis Palysaccharide(SMPS)on ATP synthesis in kidney mitochondria of D-galactose-induced aging mice, and to clarify its possible mechanism.Methods:The aging mouse model was established by subcutaneous injection of D-galactose solution in the back of the neck.The 48 SPF male mice were randomly divided into normal control group(control group), D-galactose model group(D-Gal group), SMPS low-dose group and SMPS high-dose group(n=12 for each). The control group was subcutaneously injected with 150 mg/kg normal saline on the back of the neck every day, while the other three groups were subcutaneously injected with 150 mg/kg of D-gal solution on the back of the neck every day.SMPS-L and-H dose groups were given 30 mg/kg and 60 mg/kg of SMPS solution by gavage at the same day of D-Gal injection.The control group and D-GAL group were given the same volume of normal saline daily by gavage for 42 days.Blood samples were collected from the eyeball under general anesthesia after 42 days of intervention for the detection of serum levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)and MDA.After harvesting the kidney tissue, various tests were used to detect ATP content, the mRNA expression levels and protein expression levels in kidney.Luciferase assay was used to detect ATP content in renal tissue.Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of succinate dehydrogenase(SDH)of complex Ⅱ, cytochrome C reductase(Cycs)of complex Ⅲ, complex Ⅳ(COXⅣ)and ATP5b in ATP synthase in mitochondrial oxidative respiratory chain.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of mitochondrial fusion protein 2(MFN2), dynamin-related protein1(DRP1)and mitochondrial autophagy related protein P62 in renal tissues of each group.Results:Compared with control group, the activities of serum of SOD(116.53±10.01)U/mg and GSH-Px(127.58±8.74)μmol/L were significantly decreased in D-GAL group(both P< 0.01), and serum MDA content(15.42±0.91)μmol/L increased significantly in D-GAL group( P<0.01). Compared with D-GAL group, the activities of SOD(152.80±9.29)U/mg and GSH-Px(274.07±10.73)μmol/L were significantly increased in SMPS intervention group( P< 0.01), while the MDA content(8.10±0.66)μmol/L decreased significantly in SMPS intervention group( P< 0.01). Compared with control group, the content of ATP(178±4)10 -4 μmol in D-gal group was significantly decreased( P<0.01), the mRNA expression levels of SDH, Cycs and COXⅣ were not significantly changed in D-gal group, and the mRNA expression level of ATP5b(0.67±0.01)was down-regulated in D-gal group( P<0.01), the expression of MFN2 protein(0.29±0.02)was significantly decreased in D-gal group( P<0.01), and the expression of DRP1 and P62 protein(0.31±0.02 and 0.21±0.01)was significantly increased in D-gal group(both P<0.01). Compared with the D-gal group, the ATP content(193±1)10 -4 μmol in the kidney tissue of the mice was significantly increased in SMPS intervention group( P< 0.01), and the ATP5b mRNA expression and MFN2 protein expression(0.87±0.05 and 0.71±0.08)were significantly increased in SMPS intervention group(both P< 0.01), DRP1 and P62 protein expressions(0.20±0.01 and 0.10±0.01)were significantly down-regulated in in SMPS intervention group(both P< 0.01). Conclusions:SMPS can improve the mitochondrial dynamic homeostasis disorder in aging mice by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes, up-regulating the expression of ATP5b mRNA and MFN2 protein, down-regulating the expression of DRP1 and P62 protein, and promoting the generation of mitochondrial ATP in D-gal-induced aging mice kidney tissue.
