BACKGROUND:The anterior cruciate ligament has unique nonlinear mechanical properties under a complex physiological loading environment.Elastin is an important contributor to the mechanical properties of the anterior cruciate ligament,but its mechanical response to the anterior cruciate ligament under axial tension is not clear. OBJECTIVE:To quantitatively analyze the effect of elastin on the tensile mechanical response of the anterior cruciate ligament. METHODS:Elastase solution and control buffer were prepared.The porcine anterior cruciate ligament samples were prepared into small-size samples and randomly soaked in 0,0.1,1.0,2.0,5.0,and 10.0 U/mL elastase solution for 6 hours,and other small samples of the same size were soaked in 2 U/mL elastase solution for 0,1,3,6,9,and 12 hours.To determine suitable soaking conditions for elastin-targeted enzymes and verify the digestive effect,histological staining was used to compare the effects of enzyme treatment on tissue structure and composition.The ligament samples were randomly divided into elastase-treated group and PBS group,and immersed in 2 U/mL elastase solution and PBS buffer for 6 hours,respectively.A mechanical tensile test was performed before and after immersion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The biochemical results showed that being treated in 2 U/mL elastase solution for 6 hours could reduce the elastin content by 31.1%,and had no significant effect on other mechanical-related components in the tissue.(2)The histological results showed that elastase was able to penetrate the tissue,and the loose degree of tissue increased after treatment.(3)In the mechanical results before and after treatment,the mechanical properties of the PBS group decreased significantly,only the low-tension elastic modulus increased significantly and the initial length increased significantly in the elastase-treated group.(4)The intergroup comparison results showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in pre-treatment,but the low-tension elastic modulus,initial slopes,saturated slopes,and initial length of the elastase-treated group after treatment were significantly higher than those in the PBS group.(5)These results suggest that elastin degradation significantly affects the biomechanical properties of the anterior cruciate ligament and further complements our understanding of the structure-function relationship of the anterior cruciate ligament.

ObjectiveTo explore the protective effect and mechanism of Yangxin Dingji capsules on isoproterenol (ISO)-induced ventricular arrhythmia in SD rat cardiomyocytes based on the transforming growth factor-β activated kinase 1 (TAK1)-mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3 (MKK3)-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) signaling pathway. MethodFifty male SPF-grade SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, a propranolol group, a low-dose Chinese medicine group, and a high-dose Chinese medicine group. The ventricular arrhythmia model was constructed using the ISO "6+1" method. The propranolol group received propranolol at 0.015 g·kg-1·d-1. The Chinese medicine groups received Yangxin Dingji capsules at doses of 0.5、 2 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively. The normal and model groups were given an equal volume of 0.9% NaCl solution. Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes in SD rats were recorded using the BL-420F biological function experimental system. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the heart. Serum levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA expression of IL-1β and TNF-α was assessed using real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression was detected using immunofluorescence. Protein expression levels of TAK1, phosphorylated TAK1 (p-TAK1), MKK3, phosphorylated MKK3 (p-MKK3), p38 MAPK, phosphorylated p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB), IL-1β, and TNF-α were measured using Western blot or immunohistochemistry. ResultCompared with normal group, the model group showed significant ventricular arrhythmia in ECG, with an increased arrhythmia score (P<0.01). Pathological damage to myocardial tissue was evident, and serum levels of cTnI, CK-MB, IL-1β, TNF-α, and TGF-β1 were elevated (P<0.01). The mRNA and protein expression of IL-1β and TNF-α in myocardial tissue was also increased (P<0.01). ROS level and protein expression of p-TAK1, p-MKK3, p-p38 MAPK, and p-NF-κB were elevated in myocardial tissue (P<0.01). In the propranolol and Chinese medicine groups, the incidence of sustained ventricular tachycardia (SVT) and arrhythmia scores were significantly reduced compared to model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Pathological damage to cardiomyocytes was alleviated, and levels of myocardial injury markers and inflammatory factors in serum and myocardial tissue were decreased. The ROS level in myocardial tissue was also reduced (P<0.01), with a noticeable reduction in related molecules in the p38 MAPK pathway (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionThe expression of p38 MAPK pathway molecules was up-regulated in myocardial tissue of ISO-induced ventricular arrhythmia rats. Yangxin Dingji capsules may inhibit cardiac inflammation damage by regulating the expression of related molecules in the p38 MAPK pathway, thereby exerting a protective effect on myocardial cells, with TAK1 being a potential target.

Objective:
To explore the association of milk tea consumption with comorbid of overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms among college students, so as to provide a reference for promoting the physical and mental health of college students.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey was conducted from August to October 2023 using convenience sampling among 13 920 students from nine universities in Shanghai, Jiangxi, and Hubei provinces (municipality directly under the central government). Information on college students demographic characteristics, milk tea consumption, overweight/obesity status, and depressive symptoms was collected. Chi square tests were used to compare the association between different demographic characteristics and milk tea consumption with comorbid overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to infer the strength of the association.
Results:
The detection rate of comorbidity of overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms was 5.8% among college students. The univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences in the detection rate of comorbidity of overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms among various groups, including gender, grade, parents education level, only child status, family economic status, meeting moderate to high levels of physical activity standards, sleep quality, and frequent fast food consumption ( χ 2= 82.10, 23.07, 8.91, 10.87 , 4.56, 47.60, 17.60, 386.74, 96.61, P <0.05). There were also statistically significant differences between groups based on milk tea consumption frequency and quantity ( χ 2=42.12, 38.76, P <0.01). Compared with the group of without consuming milk tea, Logistic regression analysis showed that college students who consumed milk tea 4-5 times and ≥6 times had higher risk of comorbid overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms ( OR =1.98, 2.46), and college students who consumed 1-1 500 mL and ≥3 000 mL of milk tea also had higher comorbidity risk ( OR =1.52, 1.22) ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Frequent and excessive milk tea consumption among college students may increase the risk of comorbid of overweight/obesity and depressive symptoms. It is recommended to reduce the frequency and quantity of milk tea consumption to improve college students physical and mental health.
