Objective: To investigate the health-related quality of life and its influencing factors among urban adults in Hangzhou City, so as to provide the evidence for formulation and assessment of health policy. Methods: A total of 1 800 permanent residents at ages of 18 to 64 years were sampled from Gongshu and Xihu districts, Hangzhou City using a stratified cluster random sampling method from May to August 2022. The health-related quality of life was measured with the EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), and factors affecting health-related quality of life were identified with a Tobit regression model. Results: A total of 1 624 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a response rate of 90.22%, and the respondents included 693 men (42.67%) and 931 women (57.33%). The proportions of difficulty in mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression were 1.23%, 0.43%, 0.74%, 11.15% and 8.56%, and the median (interquartile range) of health state utility value and EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) score were 1 (0) and 90 (15) points, respectively. Female (β=-0.050), age of 45 to 64 years (β=-0.067) and development of chronic disease (one chronic disease: β=-0.036; two and more chronic diseases: β=-0.090) were factor affecting of health state utility values, and age of 35 to 44 years (β=-1.945) and 45 to 64 years (β=-3.459), unemployment (β=-1.913), development of chronic disease (one chronic disease: β=-3.444; two and more chronic diseases: β=-8.529), high-level physical activity (β=2.355) and overweight/obesity (β=-1.456) were factors affecting the EQ-VAS score. Conclusions The overall health related quality of life is relatively good among urban adults in Hangzhou City. Gender, age, employment, physical activity, presence of chronic diseases and overweight/obesity may be associated with health-related quality of life among urban adults in Hangzhou City.

Objective: To assess the feasibility and validity of the establishment of a modified channel for extraperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) through single incision. METHODS: From November 2020 to January 2021, 35 cases of localized PCa were treated by extraperitoneal RARP through single incision in our center. All the operations were performed by the same surgeon, none via the multichannel port for the establishment of the channel. We recorded and analyzed the intra- and postoperative parameters, operation cost, complications, pathological findings and follow-up data. RESULTS: All the operations were successfully completed, without conversion to open surgery or additional channels, or serious postoperative complications, the time for establishing the extraperitoneal space averaging 25.4 (20.0－45.0) min, the operation time 67.3 (35.0－125.0) min, intraoperative blood loss 75.5 (60.0－150.0) ml, time to first postoperative anal exhaust 26 (8－48) h, and postoperative hospital stay 7.89 (7－10) d. Postoperative pathology showed adenocarcinoma in all the cases, with Gleason score (GS) 3+3 in 9 (25.7%), GS 3+4 in 9 (25.7%), GS 4+3 in 8 (22.9%), and GS ≥ 8 in 9 (25.7%) of the cases, 23 (65.7%) in the CONCLUSIONS The establishment of the modified channel for extraperitoneal RARP through single incision is a safe and feasible procedure, with the advantages of good cosmesis, fast recovery, effective tumor control and continence, no serious postoperative complications, and less cost.、.

The TEA domain (TEAD) family proteins (TEAD1‒4) are essential transcription factors that control cell differentiation and organ size in the Hippo pathway. Although the sequences and structures of TEAD family proteins are highly conserved, each TEAD isoform has unique physiological and pathological functions. Therefore, the development and discovery of subtype selective inhibitors for TEAD protein will provide important chemical probes for the TEAD-related function studies in development and diseases. Here, we identified a novel TEAD1/3 covalent inhibitor (DC-TEADin1072) with biochemical IC

BACKGROUND: Zhibai Dihuang pill (ZBDH), a Chinese herbal formula, has been widely used as an adjunctive therapy to help reduce the patient's steroid dose and maintain low disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). OBJECTIVE: This systematic review evaluates the therapeutic effect of modified ZBDH in reducing steroid use in patients with SLE. SEARCH STRATEGY: A systematic literature search was carried out using seven databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese VIP Information and Wanfang Database, from their inception to June 1st, 2019. The search terms included "systemic lupus erythematosus," "Chinese medicine" and "clinical trial," and their synonyms. Subject headings matching the above terms were also used. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This meta-analysis included randomized controlled trials that evaluated the reduction of steroid dose in patients with SLE. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas in experimental group should be prescribed based on ZBDH and used as adjunctive therapy and the comparator should contain steroids. DATA EXTRACTION AND ANALYSIS: Two authors independently conducted database search, study selection, data extraction and quality assessment. The extracted information contained study design, sample size, recruitment mode, diagnostic criteria, inclusion and exclusion criteria, participant characteristics, TCM patterns, TCM formulas and treatment outcomes. The primary outcome was the change of steroid dose. Secondary outcomes included SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI), biomarkers of disease activity and clinical response rate. STATA 15.0 was used to analyze the pooled effects reported as weighted mean difference (WMD) or odds ratio, with a 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS: In total, 20 trials involving 1470 SLE patients were included. The pooled result showed that modified ZBDH taken in combination with standard care led to a larger reduction in steroid dose, compared to standard care alone (WMD: 3.79; 95% CI: 2.58-5.01; P < 0.001). Favorable outcomes were also seen in secondary outcome criteria, such as SLEDAI and complement 3. The modified ZBDH treatments were well tolerated without increasing adverse effects. CONCLUSION The systematic review provided preliminary evidence supporting the use of ZBDH as a co-therapy to aid steroid dose reduction in patients with SLE. However, more rigorous studies should be conducted to validate these findings, and explore the mechanisms of ZBDH's relevant bioactive constituents.

To prepare and characterize Pluronic-PEI micelles as a drug/gene delivery system.We used the low-molecular-weight PEI as a cross-linking agent to prepare the Pluronic-PEI micelles. The particle size, zeta potential and critical micelle concentration (CMC) were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and pyrene fluorescence probe. The cytotoxicity, transfection efficiency and the impact on the intracellular ATP and P-gp levels of Pluronic-PEI micelles were investigated at the cellular level.Pluronic-PEI micelles were successfully prepared with a suitable particle size (120-180 nm), zeta potential (+6-+9 mv), and a good ability to carry the drug/gene. Anstudy showed that Pluronic-PEI had low cytotoxicity, and the P123-PEI600 possessed high gene transfection efficiency and could downregulate the intracellular ATP and P-gp levels.Pluronic-PEI is a good drug/gene delivery system, and P123-PEI600 is an ideal vector, which may be used in the combination therapy for reversing multidrug resistance.

To design and synthesize photosensitizers with different substituents and to identify its physicochemical characteritics and photodynamic effect on cancer cells.Two kinds of BODIPY photosensitizers BPOI and BPCI were synthesized through condensation reaction between aldehyde and reactive hydrogen of pyrrole, followed with electrophilic substitution reaction. Physicochemical properties were characterized byH NMR, FT-IR and UV-visible absorption spectra and fluorescence emission spectra. The ability to produce reactive oxygen species was detected by BPDF and DCFH-DA. Photodynamic therapy effect on rat glioma C6 cellswas determined by MTT method.Two kinds of BODIPY photosensitizers BPOI and BPCI were successfully synthesized with different substituents, which were confirmed byH NMR, FT-IR. Both materials had low toxicity and could be readily taken up by tumor cells. The ability of synthesized photosensitizers to produce reactive oxygen species was strongly influenced by solvent polarity when the substituent was electron-donating group, while no effect was found when the substituent was electron-withdrawing group.Photosensitizer BPOI with electron-donating substituent produces reactive oxygen species with a slow rate in a highly polar environment, while greatly enhanced this effect in a low polarity environment, which is expected to be used for environmental-selective photodynamic therapy in tumor cells.
