Objective To evaluate the regulatory effect of the adaptor related protein complex 2 subunit μ1(AP2M1)on proliferation and invasion of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods Human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell line OCI-LY8 was aliquoted into control group,NC-shRNA group,AP2M1-shRNA group,NC-LV group,and AP2M1-LV group.Lipofectamine 2000 was used for cell transfection.Cell proliferation was detected by tetramethylazolium salt(MTT)method,apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and cell migration and invasion were detected by Transwell assay.The protein expression of AP2M1,epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),p-phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K),PI3K,p-protein kinase B(Akt)and AKT was detec-ted by Western blot.Results Compared with control group,the relative expression of AP2M1 mRNA and protein in the AP2M1-shRNA group was decreased(P＜0.05).The relative cell viability was increased(P＜0.05).The cell apoptosis rate was decreased(P＜0.05).The counting number of migrating and invading cells was in-creased(P＜0.05).The relative expression level of EGFR protein and the phosphorylation level of PI3K and AKT were increased(P＜0.05).Compared with Control group,the expression of AP2M1 mRNA and protein relative ex-pression level in AP2M1-LV group was increased(P＜0.05).The relative cell viability was decreased(P＜0.05).The cell apoptosis rate was increased(P＜0.05).The number of migrating and invading cells was decreased(P＜0.05).The relative expression level of EGFR protein and the phosphorylation level of PI3K and AKT were all decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusions The over-expression of AP2M1 partially inhibits the proliferation and invasion of DLBCL cells by inhibiting the EGFR/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of pachymic acid （PA） on renal function and fibrosis in chronic renal failure （CRF） rats and its potential mechanism based on the Ras homolog gene family member A （RhoA）/Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase （ROCK） signaling pathway. METHODS Using male SD rats as subjects， the CRF model was established by 5/6 nephrectomy； the successfully modeled rats were divided into model group， PA low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （5， 10， 20 mg/kg PA）， high-dose PA+ROCK pathway activator lysophosphatidic acid （LPA） group （20 mg/kg PA+1 mg/kg LPA）， with 15 rats in each group. Another 15 rats were selected as the sham operation group with only the kidney exposed but not excised. The rats in each drug group were gavaged and/or injected with the corresponding liquid via the caudal vein， once a day， for 12 consecutive weeks. During the experiment， the general condition of rats was observed in each group. After the last administration， the serum renal function indexes （blood urea nitrogen， serum creatinine， uric acid） of rats in each group were detected， the renal histopathological changes were observed； the renal tubule injury score and the area of renal fibrosis were quantified. The levels of oxidative stress indexes [malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）] and inflammatory factors （tumor necrosis factor-α， interleukin-1β， interleukin-6）， the positive expression rates of connective tissue growth factor （CTGF） and collagen Ⅰ were detected as well as the expression levels of pathway-related proteins （RhoA， ROCK1） and fibrosis- related proteins （transforming growth factor-β1， bare corneum homologs 2， α-smooth muscle actin） were determined. RESULTS Compared with the sham operation group， the rats in model group had reduced diet， smaller body size， listless spirit and sluggish response， reduced and atrophied glomeruli， dilated renal tubules with chaotic structure， and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrated interstitium； the serum levels of renal function indexes， renal tubule injury score， renal fibrosis area proportion， the levels of MDA and inflammatory factors， the positive expression rates of CTGF and collagen Ⅰ， and the expression levels of pathway-related proteins and fibrosis-related proteins in renal tissues were significantly increased， while SOD level was significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the general condition and pathological injuries of kidney tissue of rats in PA groups were improved to varying degrees，and the above quantitative indexes were significantly improved in a dose-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. LPA could significantly reverse the improvement effect of PA on the above indicators （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS PA can improve renal function and alleviate renal fibrosis in CRF rats， which may be related to inhibiting the activation of RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway.

The study focused on individuals with influenza-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, and other respiratory symptoms) in three kindergartens in Tongzhou District, Beijing City, in April 2023. Nasopharyngeal swab specimens were collected, and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect common respiratory pathogens in the collected specimens. Positive specimens were subjected to sequencing analysis of the highly variable region of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) G protein, homology analysis and phylogenetic tree analysis. A total of 25 fever cases were collected from 3 kindergartens, aged 3-8 years old, with an age M ( Q1, Q3) of 4 (3.5, 5) years old. Ten confirmed cases of HRSV positive were screened and detected using the fluorescent quantitative PCR method, with a total detection rate of 40% (10/25). Typing identification and sequencing analysis confirmed that the main epidemic type was HRSV subtype B, which was highly homologous and closely related to previous epidemic strains in the region. Through pathogen investigation and analysis, it was preliminarily determined that this epidemic was dominated by HRSV subtype B.

Molecular imprinting is a biomimetic technique that simulates the specific recognition of biological macromolecules such as antibody. Based on molecular imprinting and high-specificity affinity analysis,the biomimetic imprinting affinity analysis (BIA) possesses many advantages such as high sensitivity,strong tolerance,good specificity and low cost,and thus,it has shown excellent prospects in food safety detection,pharmaceutical analysis and environmental pollution monitoring. In this review,the construction methods of recognition interfaces for BIA were summarized,including bulk polymerization,electro-polymerization and surface molecular imprinting. The application of molecularly imprinted polymers in different analysis methods,such as radiolabeled affinity analysis,enzyme-labeled affinity analysis,fluorescence-labeled affinity analysis,chemiluminescence affinity analysis and electrochemical immunosensor was mainly discussed. Furthermore,the challenges and future development trends of BIA in practical application were elucidated. This review might provide new reference ideas and technical supports for the further development of BIA technique.

Objective To screen biomarkers for forensic identification of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by non-targeted metabolomic studies on changes of urine metabolites in rats with AMI.Methods The rat models of the sham surgery group,AMI group and hyperlipidemia+acute myocardial infarction (HAMI) group were established.Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) was used to analyze the changes of urine metabolic spectrometry in AMI rats.Principal compo-nent analysis,partial least squares-discriminant analysis,and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis were used to screen differential metabolites.The MetaboAnalyst database was used to analyze the metabolic pathway enrichment and access the predictive ability of differential metabolites.Results A total of 40 and 61 differential metabolites associated with AMI and HAMI were screened,respec-tively.Among them,22 metabolites were common in both rat models.These small metabolites were mainly concentrated in the niacin and nicotinamide metabolic pathways.Within the 95% confidence in-terval,the area under the curve (AUC) values of receiver operator characteristic curve for N8-acetyl-spermidine,3-methylhistamine,and thymine were greater than 0.95.Conclusion N8-acetylspermidine,3-methylhistamine,and thymine can be used as potential biomarkers for AMI diagnosis,and abnormal metabolism in niacin and nicotinamide may be the main causes of AMI.This study can provide reference for the mechanism and causes of AMI identification.

Malocclusion,identified by the World Health Organization(WHO)as one of three major oral diseases,profoundly impacts the dental-maxillofacial functions,facial esthetics,and long-term development of～260 million children in China.Beyond its physical manifestations,malocclusion also significantly influences the psycho-social well-being of these children.Timely intervention in malocclusion can foster an environment conducive to dental-maxillofacial development and substantially decrease the incidence of malocclusion or reduce the severity and complexity of malocclusion in the permanent dentition,by mitigating the negative impact of abnormal environmental influences on the growth.Early orthodontic treatment encompasses accurate identification and treatment of dental and maxillofacial morphological and functional abnormalities during various stages of dental-maxillofacial development,ranging from fetal stages to the early permanent dentition phase.From an economic and societal standpoint,the urgency for effective early orthodontic treatments for malocclusions in childhood cannot be overstated,underlining its profound practical and social importance.This consensus paper discusses the characteristics and the detrimental effects of malocclusion in children,emphasizing critical need for early treatment.It elaborates on corresponding core principles and fundamental approaches in early orthodontics,proposing comprehensive guidance for preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment,serving as a reference for clinicians engaged in early orthodontic treatment.

Objective To investigate the acupoint selection rules of obesity complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)through R language data mining technology.Methods CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,web of science and other major databases were searched by computer.From the establishment of the database to January 2024,the clinical research literature on acupuncture and moxibustion for the treatment of obesity with T2DM was included.Microsoft Excel 2021 was used to establish a database of acupoint prescriptions.R 4.3.2 and Rstudio software were used to analyze the frequency,meridian tropism,specific acupoints,correlation analysis,association rules and cluster analysis of acupoints.Results A total of 81 articles were included,and 117 prescriptions were extracted.It involves 82 acupoints,and the total frequency of acupoint usage is 1 072 times.The top five acupoints with the highest frequency were Zusanli(ST36),Zhongwan(RN12),Weiwanxiashu(EX-B3),Pishu(BL20),Tianshu(ST25).The meridian selection is mainly based on the stomach meridian of foot yangming,ren meridian,foot taiyang bladder meridian and foot taiyin spleen meridian.The five-shu points are the specific points with the highest frequency of use.Correlation analysis showed that there were three groups of strongly related acupoint groups.The core acupoints were obtained by association rule analysis.Cluster analysis and machine voting were performed on acupoints with frequency ≥ 10 by function,and a total of four cluster acupoint groups were obtained.Conclusion Through R language data analysis,the principle of acupoint selection for acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of obesity complicated with T2DM is mainly based on abdominal local acupoints,combined with visceral syndrome differentiation and empirical point selection,which provides effective treatment ideas for acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of obesity complicated with T2DM.

Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy(CSR)is a condition caused by the degeneration of cervical intervertebral discs and facet joints,primarily manifesting as the pain,sensory abnormalities,and motor dysfunction in the cervical nerve innervation area of neck,shoulder,and upper limb.For the treatment of CSR,tendon-bone syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine often faces the issues of conceptual confusion and non-standard syndrome differentiation.Based on the traditional tendon-bone syndrome differentiation and by integrating modern anatomical insights,Professor LIN Ding-Kun,an esteemed scholar of Traditional Chinese Medicine,proposed a classification system for the cervical spine that includes the categories of tendons,joints,bones and marrow.This paper explored the thoughts of Professor LIN for the tendon-bone syndrome differentiation of CSR,summarized the targets of manual therapy,and proposed the four kinds of pathological changes such as tendon overstrain,joint dislocation,bone lesion,and marrow injury,as well as the four techniques of traditional Chinese medicine manipulations,i.e.relaxation of tendons,reduction of joints,protection of marrow,and treatment of bones.The aim is to improve the syndrome-differentiation and treatment for CSR with orthopedic and traumatologic manipulations,and to provide reference for clinical practice.
