Objective To identify the relationship between physical activity,insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk in individuals with different glucose tolerance status and to provide evidence for exercise intervention in people with different glucose tolerance status.Methods A total of 691 patients with different glucose metabolism status were recruited as subjects of the research.Spearman correlation analysis was used to study the relationship between exercise frequency and insulin resistance,insulin sensitivity,neck circumference(NC)and neck circumference height ratio(NHtR)in the subjects with different glucose metabolism status,the relationship between NC and insu-lin resistance and insulin sensitivity in different glucose metabolism groups.Results 171(62.9%)Subjects with diabetes were intervened by exercised every day.Spearman correlation analysis showed the correlation between exer-cise frequency and tri-glyceride triglyceride-glucose index(TyG index)(r=-0.120,P＜0.05)and NC(r=-0.168,P＜0.05)were negatively correlated.In subjects with diabetes,NC was positively correlated with triglyc-erides(TG)(r=-0.100,P＜0.05),homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-R)(r=-0.163,P＜0.05),total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein(TC/HDL-C)(r=-0.214,P＜0.05)and TyG index(r=-0.156,P＜0.05).Conclusions Increased frequency of exercise is associated with reduced NC,improved insulin resistance,and cardiovascular risk factors in subjects of our team with newly diagnosed diabetes.Exercise has no significant effect on insulin resistance of subjects with normal glucose tolerance and pre-diabetes.

Objective To explore the preventive effect of sodium hyaluronate-carboxymethyl cellulose anti-adhesion membrane plus intrauterine device(IUD)on readhesion in transcervical resection of adhesion(TCRA).Methods A total of 89 patients with moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions who received TCRA treatment in Hunan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from February 2021 to February 2022 were selected,patients were divided into control group(n=44)and study group(n=45)using the envelope method.Patients in control group were placed with IUD;Patients in study group were treated with sodium hyaluronate carboxymethyl cellulose anti adhesion film in addition to control group.The intrauterine adhesion,curative effect,menstrual recovery and American Fertility Association(AFS)scoring were compared between the two groups,and the pregnancy status of the patients within one year of follow-up was recorded.Results Compared with control group,the incidence of readhesion in study group patients decreased(P<0.05);The good rate of postoperative menstrual recovery was higher than that of control group(P<0.05);The total effective rate of treatment was higher than that of control group(P<0.05);The AFS scoring of study group patients were lower than those of control group in terms of adhesion range,adhesion type,menstrual pattern score,and total score(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in clinical pregnancy rate between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion In TCRA,the combination of sodium hyaluronate-carboxymethyl cellulose anti-adhesion membrane and IUD can significantly reduce the incidence of readhesion,improve the postoperative good rate of menstrual recovery and the overall treatment response rate,the clinical pregnancy rate was not affected.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the regulatory mechanism of human hepatocyte apoptosis induced by lysosomal membrane protein Sidt2 knockout. METHODS: The Sidt2 knockout (Sidt2^-/-) cell model was constructed in human hepatocyte HL7702 cells using Crispr-Cas9 technology.The protein levels of Sidt2 and key autophagy proteins LC3-II/I and P62 in the cell model were detected using Western blotting, and the formation of autophagosomes was observed with MDC staining.EdU incorporation assay and flow cytometry were performed to observe the effect of Sidt2 knockout on cell proliferation and apoptosis.The effect of chloroquine at the saturating concentration on autophagic flux, proliferation and apoptosis of Sidt2 knockout cells were observed. RESULTS: Sidt2^-/- HL7702 cells were successfully constructed.Sidt2 knockout significantly inhibited the proliferation and increased apoptosis of the cells, causing also increased protein expressions of LC3-II/I and P62(P < 0.05) and increased number of autophagosomes.Autophagy of the cells reached a saturated state following treatment with 50 μmol/L chloroquine, and at this concentration, chloroquine significantly increased the expressions of LC3B and P62 in Sidt2^-/- HL7702 cells. CONCLUSION Sidt2 gene knockout causes dysregulation of the autophagy pathway and induces apoptosis of HL7702 cells, and the latter effect is not mediated by inhibiting the autophagy-lysosomal pathway.

Nerve regeneration in adult mammalian spinal cord is poor because of the lack of intrinsic regeneration of neurons and extrinsic factors - the glial scar is triggered by injury and inhibits or promotes regeneration. Recent technological advances in spatial transcriptomics (ST) provide a unique opportunity to decipher most genes systematically throughout scar formation, which remains poorly understood. Here, we first constructed the tissue-wide gene expression patterns of mouse spinal cords over the course of scar formation using ST after spinal cord injury from 32 samples. Locally, we profiled gene expression gradients from the leading edge to the core of the scar areas to further understand the scar microenvironment, such as neurotransmitter disorders, activation of the pro-inflammatory response, neurotoxic saturated lipids, angiogenesis, obstructed axon extension, and extracellular structure re-organization. In addition, we described 21 cell transcriptional states during scar formation and delineated the origins, functional diversity, and possible trajectories of subpopulations of fibroblasts, glia, and immune cells. Specifically, we found some regulators in special cell types, such as Thbs1 and Col1a2 in macrophages, CD36 and Postn in fibroblasts, Plxnb2 and Nxpe3 in microglia, Clu in astrocytes, and CD74 in oligodendrocytes. Furthermore, salvianolic acid B, a blood-brain barrier permeation and CD36 inhibitor, was administered after surgery and found to remedy fibrosis. Subsequently, we described the extent of the scar boundary and profiled the bidirectional ligand-receptor interactions at the neighboring cluster boundary, contributing to maintain scar architecture during gliosis and fibrosis, and found that GPR37L1_PSAP, and GPR37_PSAP were the most significant gene-pairs among microglia, fibroblasts, and astrocytes. Last, we quantified the fraction of scar-resident cells and proposed four possible phases of scar formation: macrophage infiltration, proliferation and differentiation of scar-resident cells, scar emergence, and scar stationary. Together, these profiles delineated the spatial heterogeneity of the scar, confirmed the previous concepts about scar architecture, provided some new clues for scar formation, and served as a valuable resource for the treatment of central nervous system injury.

Objective:To establish a method of serum detection by Raman spectroscopy for the diagnosis of gastric cancer.Methods:Between April and November 2019, 110 patients with gastric cancer [73 males, 37 females, age (57.4±10.3) years] and 74 patients with colorectal cancer [48 males and 26 females, aged (58.3±12.2) years] were collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical University, along with 100 healthy subjects [59 males and 41 females, aged (55.6±10.61) years] during the same period. Fasting venous blood serum samples were collected from the subjects. A Raman spectrometer XploRA PLUS was used in this experiment, with an excitation light source of 532 nm, a field of view of 100 times, and a spectrum range of 200-2 000 cm -1, etc. The serum samples were detected by nondestructive and non-contact rapid detection, and the Raman spectra of serum samples were collected. Using the Raman spectrum acquisition and processing supporting software LabSpec6 to smooth, baseline, and normalize the obtained Raman spectrum. Multivariate statistical analysis software SIMCA14.1 were applied to import and analyze the obtained Raman spectrum data by principal component analysis (PCA), orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), and other methods for statistical analysis. An operating characteristic curve (ROC) was constructed to evaluate the model analysis effect between serum samples of healthy people and those with gastric cancer. Serum samples from the colorectal cancer group were used to verify the reliability of the model. Results:Six Raman peaks with good repeatability were detected in serum samples in health and gastric cancer group, and peaks were located at 1 001.17, 1 154.63, 1 337.89, 1 446.85, 1 515.33, and 1 658.34 cm -1, respectively. Raman intensities at six Raman peaks were significantly different between healthy and gastric cancer groups. At the displacement of 1 001.17, 1 154.63, and 1 515.33 cm -1, the Raman intensity in the healthy group was higher than that in the gastric cancer group. At 1 337.89, 1 446.85, and 1 658.34 cm -1 displacement, the Raman intensity of the gastric cancer group was higher than that of the healthy group. An OPLS-DA model was constructed to analyze the serum samples of the healthy group and the gastric cancer group. In the model, R 2 is the fitting power, and Q 2 is the predictive ability. The closer the values of R 2 and Q 2 are to 1, the better the performance of the model, and the obtained model's R 2X(cum)=0.809, R 2Y(cum)=0.819, Q 2(cum)=0.758. ROC characteristic curve was drawn based on the OPLS-DA model. The area under the curve (AUC) of the gastric cancer group was 0.998. Six peaks with good repeatability were detected in the serum Raman spectra of gastric cancer stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ, which were located at the displacement of 1 001.85, 1 155.07, 1 338.36, 1 445.75, 1 515.92, and 1 657.68 cm -1, respectively, and at the displacement of 1 155.07 and 1 515.92 cm -1. The Raman intensity of gastric cancer stage Ⅳwas significantly higher than that of gastric cancer stages Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ. Conclusions:According to the model reliability verification, the healthy group, gastric cancer group and colorectal cancer group can also be effectively separated based on OPLS-DA results; it showed a good performance in separating the healthy group from the gastric cancer group. It is possible to detect serum samples from healthy people and gastric cancer patients unlabeled by combining Raman spectroscopy and the OPLS-DA method in multivariate statistics.
