ObjectiveUlcerative colitis is a prevalent immunoinflammatory disease. Th17/Treg cell imbalance and gut microbiota dysregulation are key factors in ulcerative colitis pathogenesis. The actin cytoskeleton contributes to regulating the proliferation, differentiation, and migration of Th17 and Treg cells. Wdr63, a gene containing the WD repeat domain, participates in the structure and functional modulation of actin cytoskeleton. Recent research indicates that WDR63 may serve as a regulator of cell migration and metastasis via actin polymerization inhibition. This article aims to explore the effect of Wdr63 deletion on Th17/Treg cells and ulcerative colitis. MethodsWe constructed Wdr63^-/- mice, induced colitis in mice using dextran sulfate sodium salt, collected colon tissue for histopathological staining, collected mesenteric lymph nodes for flow cytometry analysis, and collected healthy mouse feces for microbial diversity detection. ResultsCompared with wild-type colitis mice, Wdr63^-/- colitis mice had a more pronounced shortening of colonic tissue, higher scores on disease activity index and histological damage index, Treg cells decreased and Th17 cells increased in colonic tissue and mesenteric lymph nodes, a lower level of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, and a higher level of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17A. In addition, WDR63 has shown positive effects on maintaining intestinal microbiota homeostasis. It maintains the balance of Bacteroidota and Firmicutes, promoting the formation of beneficial intestinal bacteria linked to immune inflammation. ConclusionWdr63 deletion aggravates ulcerative colitis in mice, WDR63 inhibits colonic inflammation likely by regulating Th17/Treg balance and maintains intestinal microbiota homeostasis.

Objective: To explore the impact of household tobacco smoke exposure on adolescents attempted smoking behavior, so as to provide a reference for tobacco control policy formulation and evaluation. Methods: From September to November 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 7 841 middle and high school students from 10 monitoring sites (districts/counties) in Beijing for a questionnaire survey. Rao-Scott Chi square test was used to assess differences in proportions across subgroups, and complex sampling design based multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influence of parental smoking and secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure at home on adolescents attempted smoking behavior. Results: About 47.17% of adolescents reported to have at least one parent smoked, with 42.36% reported of having only the father smoked, 0.73% reported of having only the mother smoked, and 4.08% reported of having both parents smoked. About 34.66% of middle and high school students were reported SHS exposure at home in the past 7 days, with 10.98%, 4.79% and 18.89% reported SHS exposure for 1-2, 3-4 and 5-7 days. Compared to adolescents with non smoking parents, those with a smoking father or both smoking parents had higher rates of attempted smoking [ OR (95% CI )=1.45(1.06-1.98), 3.73(2.18-6.37), P < 0.05 ]. Compared to adolescents without SHS exposure at home in the past 7 days, those exposed for 3-4 or 5- 7 days had higher rates of attempted smoking [ OR (95% CI )=2.21(1.27- 3.84 ), 2.46(1.58-3.83), P <0.01]. Conclusions Household tobacco smoke exposure is associated with adolescent attempted smoking behavior. Parents should quit smoking and prohibit smoking at home to create a smoke free environment for adolescents.

Purpose: It was aimed to clarify the casual connection between prostate cancer (PCa) and arthritis by utilizing two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis and data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Materials and Methods: This study utilized NHANES data. Through association analysis and risk stratification analysis, the association between arthritis and PCa were examined. MR analysis was performed to elucidate the causal relationship between arthritis and PCa. Sensitivity analysis and Steiger directionality test confirmed the reliability of the MR analysis results. Results: A total of 23,608 (PCa:controls=413:23,195) participants after a sample exclusion and variable definition process were screened in NHANES database. Adjustments across three diverse models consistently revealed a notable influence of arthritis on PCa progression. Arthritis was identified as a risk factor for PCa (odds ratio [OR] 1.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.36–2.62, p<0.001). Subsequent analysis indicated that in the arthritis-adjusted model with multiple covariates, the area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.94. The inverse variance weighting method of MR analysis showed a causal relationship between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and PCa (OR 1.090, 95% CI 1.053–1.128, p<0.001) as well as osteoar-thritis and PCa (OR 1.002, 95% CI 1.001–1.004, p=0.002). This suggested that RA and osteoarthritis were risk factors for PCa. The heterogeneity (p>0.05), horizontal pleiotropy (p>0.05), leave-one-out and Steiger test confirmed reliability of MR results. Conclusions NHANES database and MR analyses identified arthritis as a risk factor for PCa, offering fresh avenues for preventive and therapeutic approaches.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current situation of pharmaceutical management in compact medical consortium of Guangdong province， and to provide decision-making basis for promoting the high-quality construction and sustainable development of the provincial medical consortium. METHODS A self-designed questionnaire was used to select 50 compact medical consortiums in Guangdong province. The survey was answered by the heads of the pharmacy department of the general hospitals. The survey covered the basic scale of the consortium， the appointment of chief pharmacists， the implementation of pharmaceutical management and pharmaceutical care homogenization within the consortium， the difficulties in promoting the homogenization， and the expected provincial support. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on the survey results. RESULTS A total of 50 questionnaires were collected， and the effective recovery rate was 100%. There were 16 chief pharmacists （32.00%） in charge of the pharmacy department of the general hospital in the medical consortium. Thirty-seven medical consortiums （74.00%） had established a drug supply support system within the consortium， 35 medical consortiums （70.00%） had carried out pharmaceutical management and coordination work within the medical consortium， 23 medical consortiums （46.00%） had established a clinical medication guidance system， 25 medical consortiums chenwenying2016@163.com （50.00%） had established a bidirectional communication mechanism， and only 8 medical consortiums （16.00%） had developed new models of pharmaceutical care. At present， the difficulties in promoting the homogenization of pharmaceutical management and pharmaceutical care within the medical consortium were mainly found in three aspects： the wide gap in management level of each member unit， the lack and uneven level of pharmaceutical personnel， and insufficient policy support and implementation. Most medical consortiums hoped that relevant departments could promote the homogenization of pharmaceutical work by holding special training courses or special supervision. CONCLUSIONS At present， the compact medical consortium in Guangdong province has achieved initial results in the implementation of the chief pharmacist system， the homogenization of pharmaceutical management and pharmaceutical care. However， it is still necessary to improve the coverage of chief pharmacist appointments in the medical consortium， implement the homogenization of pharmaceutical management， and accelerate the homogenization process of pharmaceutical care.

Objective To explore the expression, correlation with clinicopathologic parameters, and clinical significance of MIS18 binding protein 1 (MIS18BP1) in bladder cancer. Methods TCGA and GEO databases were used to analyze the mRNA expression of MIS18BP1 in tumors and controls, and the results were verified via qRT-PCR. UALCAN online database was utilized in the analysis of the expression of MIS18BP1 and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters and the degree of immune cell infiltration. Immunohistochemistry was employed to analyze the expression of MIS18BP1 in bladder cancer and its relationship with clinicopathological features. The ROC curve was applied to evaluate the diagnostic value of MIS18BP1 mRNA in bladder cancer. Results Bioinformatics analysis and qRT-PCR results revealed the increased expression of MIS18BP1 mRNA in bladder cancer compared with that in the control group (P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry unveiled the significantly high positive rate of MIS18BP1 protein in bladder cancer (P<0.05) and its correlation with the clinical stage of tumors, depth of invasion, and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The immune infiltration analysis showed the association of MIS18BP1 with immune cell infiltration in bladder cancer. Conclusion The increased expression level of MIS18BP1 gene and protein in bladder cancer may regulate the development of bladder cancer by influencing immune cell infiltration.

Objective To investigate the effects of indirubatin derivative E804 on proliferation and migration of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)A549 cells,and to elucidate the possible mechanism of Nrf2-HO-1/GPX4 pathway.Methods Lung cancer A549 cells were used as the cell model.The proliferation and migration of differ-ent specific inhibitors(Nec-1,CQ,Z-VAD,DFO,Fer-1 and Lip-1)in 0,10 μmol/L E804 and 10 μmol/L E804+groups were observed by MTT and cell scratch assay.The contents of reactive oxygen species(ROS)were de-tected by DCFH-DA fluorescence probe method,the contents of Fe2+were detected by colorimetric method,the contents of reduced glutathione(GSH)were detected by spectrophotometry,and the contents of malondialdehyde(MDA)were detected by micromethod.The expression levels of SLC7A11,Transferrin,GPX4,SLC40A1,Nrf2 and HO-1 were detected by Western blot in cells of 0,2.5,5 and 10 μmol/L E804 groups.Results Compared with the control group(0 μmol/L E804),2.5,5 and 10 μmol/L E804 significantly increased intracellular ROS,Fe2+and MDA levels,and decreased intracellular GSH content(P＜0.01).Meanwhile,the expression levels of SLC7A11,GPX4,SLC40A1,Nrf2 and HO-1 significantly decreased(P＜0.01),and the expression level of Transferrin increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the 10 μmol/L E804 group alone,the apoptosis inhibitor(Z-VAD)group and the ferroptosis inhibitor(DFO,Fer-1 and Lip-1)group could significantly reverse the inhibition of proliferation and migration of A549 cells by 10 μmol/L E804(P＜0.01).Conclution E804 can induce ferrop-tosis and inhibit the proliferation and migration of A549 cells,which may be related to the inhibition of Nrf2-HO-1/GPX4 pathway.

Objective To explore the needs and influencing factors of palliative care among primary car-egivers in families of patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods The main caregivers of 148 patients with advanced AD who were diagnosed at the Memory Clinic of this hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were randomly selected as the research subjects.A self-designed questionnaire on palliative care needs was used for investigation and statistical analysis.Results The total score of the main caregivers for palliative medical needs was(91.88±15.19),with a score indicator of 66.57％.The highest score indicator was the demand for professional medical care guidance,and the lowest was the demand for social support.There were statistical differences in the scores of palliative medical care needs of caregivers with different a-ges,education level,relationship with patients,nursing experience,death of relatives and friends,annual family income,medical payment method and physical condition(P＜0.05).The results of linear regression analysis showed that education level,relationship with patients and nursing experience were the influencing factors of family caregivers'easing medical needs(P＜0.05).Conclusion The main caregivers of advanced AD patients have a high demand for palliative care,and there is an urgent need to strengthen palliative care services.

Objective To investigate the differential diagnostic value of serum lipopolysaccharide binding protein(LBP)and serum CXC chemokine ligand-10(CXCL-10)in children with acute upper respiratory tract bacterial infection and its influencing factors.Methods A total of 90 children with acute upper respiratory tract infection admitted to the hospital from July 2021 to June 2022 were enrolled in the study as the study group,and 40 healthy children who underwent physical examination in the hospital during the same period were enrolled as the healthy group.According to the results of sputum bacterial culture,the study group was divided into bacterial infection group(51 cases)and non-bacterial infection group(39 cases).The serum levels of LBP and CXCL-10 were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Receiver operating charac-teristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the value of serum LBP and CXCL-10 in the differential diagnosis of acute upper respiratory tract bacterial infection in children.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to ana-lyze the influencing factors of acute upper respiratory tract bacterial infection in children.Results The serum levels of LBP and CXCL-10 in the study group were higher than those in the healthy group(P＜0.05).The se-rum levels of LBP and CXCL-10 in the bacterial infection group were higher than those in the non-bacterial in-fection group(P＜0.05).The area under curves(AUCs)of serum LBP and CXCL-10 alone and in combina-tion for the diagnosis of acute upper respiratory tract bacterial infection in children were 0.779(95％CI:0.724-0.822),0.843(95％CI:0.796-0.898),0.906(95％CI:0.852-0.959),respectively.Compared with the non-bacterial infection group,the bacterial infection group had significantly higher proportions of family members with smoking,iron deficiency,and calcium deficiency,annual average times of antibacterial drug use,and serum LBP and CXCL-10 levels(P＜0.05).Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that the av-erage annual use of antibiotics ≥2 times(OR=2.305,95％CI:1.483-3.582),LBP≥104.26 ng/mL(OR=2.573,95％CI:1.446-4.578)and CXCL-10≥112.98 pg/mL(OR=1.208,95％CI:0.110-1.314)were the influencing factors of acute upper respiratory tract bacterial infection in children(P＜0.05).Conclusion The elevated serum LBP and CXCL-10 levels are closely related to acute upper respiratory tract bacterial infection in children,which can be used as indicators for the differential diagnosis of acute upper respiratory tract bacte-rial infection,and the combination of the two has higher diagnostic efficiency.

Objective To observe the effects of Tianma Gouteng Decoction combined with magnesium sulfate and Labetalol on lowering blood pressure and improving hemorheology in patients with gestational hypertension.Methods Ninety patients with gestational hypertension of liver-yang hyperactivity type were randomly divided into the combination group and the control group,with 45 cases in each group.The control group was treated with magnesium sulfate combined with Labetalol,and the combination group was treated with Tianma Gouteng Decoction on the basis of treatment for the control group.The course of treatment lasted for 5 days.The changes of systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),urinary protein level,and hemorheological indicators of the two groups were observed before and after the treatment.Moreover,the adverse pregnancy outcomes,adverse reactions,and patients'satisfaction of the two groups were compared.Finally,the influencing factors of patients'adverse pregnancy outcomes were investigated by logistic regression analysis.Results(1)After treatment,the SBP,DBP and urinary protein level of patients in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease in the combination group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).(2)After treatment,the hemorheological indicators of plasma viscosity,whole blood viscosity and hematocrit of patients in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease in the combination group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(3)The total incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the combination group was 11.11%(5/45),which was significantly lower and that in the control group(33.33%,15/45),the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.05).(4)The patients'satisfaction of the combination group was 97.78%(44/45),which was significantly higher than that of the control group(84.44%,38/45),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(5)The total incidence of adverse reactions in the combination group was 13.33%(6/45)and that in the control group was 8.89%(4/45),but the intergroup comparison showed no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).(6)Logistic regression analysis of influencing factors showed that no medication of Tianma Gouteng Decoction combined with Labetalol and magnesium sulfate,and poor antihypertensive effect were the independent risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with gestational hypertension(all OR＞1,P＜0.05).Conclusion Tianma Gouteng Decoction combined with magnesium sulfate and Labetalol in treating gestational hypertension exerts certain antihypertensive effect,and the therapy can effectively improve the hemorheological indicators and the adverse pregnancy outcomes,and enhance the patients'satisfaction.
