AIM: To investigate and clarify the intervention mechanism of trigonelline(TRG)in preventing ferroptosis in ARPE-19 cells based on the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 pathway.METHODS: The ARPE-19 cells were cultured and subsequently treated with varying concentrations of trigonelline to ascertain the most effective concentration for modulating the cells. Then the cells were categorized into distinct groups, including normal control(NC)group, high glucose(HG)group, Fer-1 group, TRG group based on the determined concentration. Samples from each group were then gathered to assess relevant indicators. The intracellular levels of glutathione(GSH), malondialdehyde(MDA), and Ferrion were quantified in accordance with the protocols provided by the GSH, MDA, and Ferrion detection kits. Flow cytometry was employed to measure the ROS levels within each group. Additionally, Western blot analysis was conducted to examine the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1(HO-1), glutathione peroxidase(GPX4), and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4(ACSL4)across the different groups.RESULTS: The preconditioning intervention with 40 μg/mL TRG effectively mitigated the decline in cell activity induced by high glucose levels. The levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and MDA in the HG group were markedly elevated compared to the NC group; and the TRG group exhibited significantly reduced levels of ROS and MDA compared to those of the HG group, with the antioxidant stress index GSH showing opposite trends to those of ROS and MDA across all the groups. Whereas the Fer-1 and TRG groups showed decreased expression levels of ACSL4 protein and iron ions, and the expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1 and GPX4 in the Fer-1 and TRG groups were increased.CONCLUSION: TRG protects ARPE-19 cells from the detrimental effects of high glucose by targeting the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 signaling pathway to counter ferroptosis.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of albumin bound paclitaxel(nab-PTX)and solvent based paclitaxel(sb-PTX)in neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT)for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 107 patients with advanced EOC who un-derwent preoperative NACT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from June 11,2018 to Sep-tember 19,2023.Among them,52 patients were treated with nab-PTX combined with carboplatin intravenous chemotherapy(nab-PTX group),and 55 with sb-PTX combined with carboplatin intravenous chemotherapy(sb-PTX group).The clinical indicators after NACT,intraoperative conditions of cytoreductive surgery and ad-verse events during the NACT were compared in two groups.Results:The maximum tumor diameter(3.7 cm vs.3.8 cm),CA125(28.9 U/ml vs.31.6 U/ml)and HE4(102.5 U/ml vs.119.0 U/ml)levels in the nab PTX group after NACT were significantly lower than those in the sb-PTX group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).After NACT,the total input(2580 ml vs.2100 ml),the proportion of surgical complexity score(36.54％vs.18.18％),and lymph node resection rate(57.69％vs.29.09％)in the nab-PTX group were significantly higher than those in the sb-PTX group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05)in the amount of ascites,clinical efficacy evaluation,ORR,DCR,surgical time,intraoperative bleeding,total output,postoperative hospital stays,surgical satisfaction,pathological complete response rate(pCR),transfu-sion of blood products,lymph node metastasis and adverse effects during NACT between the two groups.Con-clusions:Nab-PTX has a better clinical disease control effect than sb-PTX in NACT,in order to achieve better cy-toreductive surgery,but it has no significant effect on pathological remission.The safety of the two drugs is similar.

Objective:To explore the correlation between structural chromosomal abnormality and clinical characteristics of a child featuring gonadal dysplasia.Methods:A 13-year-old child who was admitted to Lianyungang Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital on February 7, 2023 for primary amenorrhoea and occasional abdominal pain was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child was collected, and peripheral blood samples of the child and her parents were collected. G-banding chromosomal karyotyping and copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) were carried out. "Pseudodual centromere isochromosome X" and "psu idic(X)" were used as keywords to search the CNKI, Wanfang and PubMed databases, and the search period was set as from January 1, 2002 to June 1, 2023. Relevant literature on the structural abnormality of X chromosome was searched and analyzed retrospectively.Results:The child has a height of 153 cm and weighed 45 kg. She has no obvious facial dysmorphism. Laboratory tests showed that she had higher FSH and luteinizing hormone, and lower E2. Ultrasonography showed that she had small ovaries and rudimentary uterus. She was found to have a karyotype of 46, X, psu idic(X)(q21.3)[40]/mos 45, X[3], whilst both of her parents had a normal karyotype. CNV-seq showed that she had a 63.27 Mb deletion in Xq21.32q28 and a 91.59 Mb duplication in Xp22.33q21.32 (mosaicism rate = 74%). A total of 11 relevant literature were retrieved. Clinical phenotypes of patients with similar structural chromosomal abnormalities were diverse, which was closely related to the mosaicism rate of the 45, X karyotype and the location of the breaking point.Conclusion:46, X, psu idic(X)(q21.3)/45, X probably underlay the dysplasia of uterus and ovary and sex hormone abnormalities in this child, while her height was spared. Deletion of Xq21.32q28 is a key factor leading to Turner syndrome-like phenotype such as rudimentary uterus and ovarian dysplasia.
