Objective To study the effect of high mobility group box B1(HMGB1)gene knockout on alleviating a-cute lung injury and inhibiting toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor-KB(NF-κB)pathway of sepsis mice.Methods Wild-type(WT)mice were divided into WT-Sham group and WT-model group,and HMGB1 knockout(KO)mice were divided into KO-sham group and KO-model group.Sepsis ALI model was established by cecal ligation and perforation in WT-model group and KO-model group.Sham operation was performed in WT-Sham group and KO-Sham group.24 h after modeling,the partial pressure of arterial oxygen(PaO2)was detected,oxy-genation index(OI)was calculated,pathological changes of lung tissue were detected and lung injury score was calculated,the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1 β(IL-1 β),interleukin-6(IL-6),reactive oxygen species(ROS),malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),in serum and lung tissues and the expression of HMGB1,TLR4 and nuclear NF-κB in lung tissues were detected.Results The PaO2,OI and the concentration of SOD in serum and lung tissue of WT-model group were lower than those of WT-Sham group,the lung injury scores,the concentrations of TNF-α,IL-1 β,IL-6,ROS and MDA in serum and lung tissue,and the expression levels of HMGB1,TLR4 and nuclear NF-κB in lung tissue were higher than those in WT-Sham group(P＜0.05).HMGB1 was not expressed in lung tissue of KO-model group,and the concentrations of PaO2,OI and the concentration of SOD in serum and lung tissue of KO-model group were higher than those of WT-model group,the lung injury scores,the concentrations of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,ROS and MDA in serum and lung tissue,and the expression levels of TLR4 and nuclear NF-κB in lung tissue were lower than those of the WT-model group(P＜0.05).Conclusion HMGB1 gene knockout alleviates acute lung injury of sepsis mice,the re-lated molecular mechanism may be the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB pathway mediated inflammation and oxidative stress.

Objective Explore differences in the cognitive abilities of socially different Labradors.Methods The dog mentality assessment(DMA)test created by the Swedish Working Dog Association was modified to employ 12 behavioral variables from five subtests of the DMA test,social contact,play Ⅰ,distance-play,ghosts and play Ⅱ,to assess sociability of the dogs.In accordance with the scoring criteria,49 labradors provided by the China Guide Dog Training Centre in Dalian were scored on the social behavioral variables and classified into high(n=15)and low(n=34)sociability groups by cluster analysis.A new system to test canine cognitive ability was developed using the dog cognitive development battery,which tests various domains of cognitive ability such as social cue use,unsolvable task,inhibitory control,cognitive flexibility,working memory,and multistep problem solving task.The dogs'behavioral performance and duration of the test were also recorded.Statistical analysis was performed to determine assess differences in the cognitive abilities of socially diverse dogs.Results Dogs in the high and low social subgroups differed significantly in behavioral variables of the unsolvable task,inhibitory control test,and multistep problem solving task.In the unsolvable task,dogs in the high social group looked at people for significantly longer than dogs in the low social grouping(P=0.008)and looked at people with significantly less latency time than dogs in the low social group(P=0.0001).In the inhibitory control,dogs in the high social group chose significantly more correctly than dogs in the low social group(P=0.034)and chose for significantly less time than dogs in the low social group(P=0.039).In the multistep problem solving task,for dogs in the high social group.successfully completed number of stakes was significantly higher than for dogs in the low social group(P=0.044).The percentage of operation pale time was significantly lower than for dogs in the low social group(P=0.05).The average latency time to solve the bone task was significantly higher than for dogs in the low social group(P=0.037).Moreover,the percentage of operation bone time was significantly lower than for dogs in the low social group(P=0.038).In tests involving a manipulable apparatus,dogs in the high social group spent more time looking at people than dogs in the low social group and less time manipulating the apparatus than dogs in the low subgroup,but no statistically significant differences were observed(P＞0.05).Conclusions Highly sociable labradors have a greater cognitive ability,they are more able to suppress impulses during tests,more able to complete the multistep problem solving task,and more inclined to change strategies to seek new cues from people rather than obsessing over manipulating the apparatus when they are unable to solve a problem.

Objective:To investigate the effects of bunched cognitive behavior intervention on disease fear and psychological security in patients with glioma.Methods:A total of 92 patients with glioma who underwent surgical treatment from January 2022 to June 2023 were selected.According to the order of enrollment, all subjects were divided into research group( n=44)and control group( n=48). The patients in control group received routine medical and nursing intervention, and patients the research group adopted glioma bunched cognitive behavior intervention on the basis of routine medical and nursing intervention, including 4 intervention cycles.At enrollment, 2 weeks after intervention, and 4 weeks after intervention, all subjects were evaluated by the fear of progression questionnaire-short form (FoP-Q-SF), safety questionnaire (SQ), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS).

Conclusion:Bundled cognitive behavioral intervention can improve disease fear and negative emotions in patients with glioma, and enhance psychological security.

BACKGROUND:It is of great significance to find new diagnostic markers of the disease and molecular targets for the treatment of the disease and the alleviation of organ injury.Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of cell death.Overactivation of ferroptosis in animal models of sepsis is associated with the activation of inflammatory response and the injury of the liver,heart,kidney and other important organs,but the relationship between ferroptosis and bloodstream infection is not very clear. OBJECTIVE:To study the changes and biological significance of ferroptosis in a mouse model of blood stream infection induced by different bacteria. METHODS:Blood stream infection models induced by gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae and gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis were established in SPF-grade ICR male mice,with 42 mice in each group.The mRNA expression levels of ferroptosis marker genes transferrin receptor 1 and glutathione peroxidase 4 in the liver,myocardium and kidney were detected at 0.5,1,3,6,12,24 and 48 hours after modeling.Another 18 SPF-grade ICR male mice were selected and randomly divided into dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)control group,DMSO+Klebsiella pneumoniae group,and Ferrostatin-1+Klebsiella pneumoniae group,with 6 mice in each group.In the latter two groups,animal models of Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infection were established by tail vein injection of Klebsiella pneumoniae suspension,and 5 mg/kg Ferrostatin-1 and an equal dose of DMSO were given intraperitoneally 1 hour prior to the modeling of bloodstream infection,respectively.Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,blood creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,phosphocreatine kinase isoenzyme,lactate dehydrogenase,and mRNA expression levels of ferroptosis marker genes in various tissues were assayed at 6 hours after modeling. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After bloodstream infection modeling,the mRNA expression levels of transferrin receptor 1 in the liver,myocardium and kidney of bloodstream infection mice with different bacteria increased first and then decreased;and the mRNA expression level of glutathione peroxidase 4 decreased first,then increased,and reached the peak at 6 hours after modeling.The changes in transferrin receptor 1 and glutathione peroxidase 4 mRNA levels in bloodstream infection mice induced by gram-negative bacteria were more significant than those in blood stream infection mice induced by gram-positive bacteria,especially in bloodstream infection mice induced by Klebsiella pneumoniae.At 6 hours after bloodstream infection induced by Klebsiella pneumoniae,the levels of alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,creatine phosphate kinase isoenzyme,lactate dehydrogenase in mice were significantly increased.Before modeling,Ferrostatin-1 intervention significantly reduced the levels of alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,creatine phosphate kinase isoenzyme,and lactate dehydrogenase.All these findings indicate that the activation of ferroptosis in bloodstream infection mice induced by different bacteria is obvious,and the activation of ferroptosis in bloodstream infection mice induced by gram-negative bacteria is more obvious.Inhibition of iron death significantly attenuates liver,myocardial,and kidney injury in the mouse model of bloodstream infection induced by Klebsiella pneumoniae.

OBJECTIVE To explore the pharmacodynamic related substances and mechanism of Weining San(WNS) against gastric ulcer(GU) according to fingerprint and network pharmacology. METHODS Twelve batches of WNS fingerprints were established by HPLC, and methodological investigation was carried out. Combined with reference substances, characteristic peaks were identified, pharmacodynamic related substances were screened, and network pharmacological analysis was carried out. Using TCMIP and Swiss Target Prediction database to retrieve component targets; Using OMIM, GeneCards and Drugbank databases to retrieve GU disease targets, taking the intersection targets of components and diseases, using String database to construct protein-protein interaction network diagram, and analyzing topological parameters; Using Cytoscape 3.8.2 software to construct "component-disease-target" network diagram; GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of intersection targets were carried out by Metascape website. Then the alcoholic GU mouse model was established by intragastric administration of absolute ethanol to verify the results of network pharmacology prediction. RESUITS　The precision, stability and repeatability of HPLC fingerprint method were good. By comparison and comprehensive analysis of control substances, notoginsenoside R1, ginsenoside Rg1, militarine, ginsenoside Rb1, schisandrin, schisandrol B, deoxyschizandrin and schisantherin A were identified as pharmacodynamic related substances in WNS, which may play their role by regulating core targets such as AKT1, IL-6, STAT3, TNF, IL1B and key signal pathways such as PI3K-Akt and JAK-STAT. The gastric ulcer index, ulcer inhibition rate and HE staining showed that WNS could improve gastric mucosal injury in GU mice. The results of ELISA, WST-1 and TBA showed that WNS could decrease the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and MDA, and increase the levels of SOD and PGE2, suggesting that the anti-GU effect of WNS was related to the inhibition of inflammatory reaction and oxidative stress mechanism, which further verified the prediction of network pharmacology. CONCLUSION This study combines fingerprint analysis, network pharmacology, and animal experimental validation to explore the pharmacodynamic related substances and mechanisms of WNS anti-GU efficacy, providing reference for quality control and clinical research of WNS.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of bundled cognitive-behavior intervention in postoperative patients with glioma.Methods:From January 2022 to June 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 95 patients with glioma who underwent surgical treatment at the Neurosurgery Department of Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University as subjects. The patients were divided into an observation group and a control group based on the order of enrollment. The control group received routine medical nursing intervention, while the observation group received bundled cognitive-behavior intervention on the basis of control group. The scores of the Chinese-Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (C-SUPPH), Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were compared between two groups of patients at different time points before and after intervention.Results:Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that there were intergroup, time, and interaction effects between the C-SUPPH, SF-36, SAS, and SDS scores of the two groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). At 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge, the C-SUPPH and SF-36 scores in observation group were lower than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). At 3 and 6 months after discharge, the SAS and SDS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:Bundled cognitive-behavior intervention can increase the self-management efficacy of postoperative glioma patients, improve their quality of life, and alleviate their anxiety and depression.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a serious disorder,and exploration of active compounds to treat it is necessary.An acidic polysaccharide named SUSP-4 was purified from Selaginella uncinata(Desv.)Spring,which contained galacturonic acid,galactose,xylose,arabinose,and rhamnose with the main chain structure of →4)-α-D-GalAp-(1 → and →6)-β-D-Galp-(1 → and the branched structure of →5)-α-L-Araf-(1 →.Animal experiments showed that compared with Model group,SUSP-4 significantly improved body weight status,disease activity index(DAI),colonic shortening,and histopathological damage,and elevated occludin and zonula occludens protein 1(ZO-1)expression in mice induced by dextran sulfate sodium salt(DSS).16S ribosomal RNA(rRNA)sequencing indicated that SUSP-4 markedly downregulated the level of Akkermansia and Alistipes.Metabolomics results confirmed that SUSP-4 obviously elevated thiamine levels compared with Model mice by adjusting thiamine metabolism,which was further confirmed by a targeted metabolism study.Fecal transplantation experiments showed that SUSP-4 exerted an anti-IBD effect by altering the intestinal flora in mice.A mechanistic study showed that SUSP-4 markedly inhibited macrophage activation by decreasing the levels of phospho-nuclear factor kappa-B(p-NF-κB)and cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)and elevating NF-E2-related factor 2(Nrf2)levels compared with Model group.In conclusion,SUSP-4 affected thiamine metabolism by regulating Akker-mania and inhibited macrophage activation to adjust NF-κB/Nrf2/COX-2-mediated inflammation and oxidative stress against IBD.This is the first time that plant polysaccharides have been shown to affect thiamine metabolism against IBD,showing great potential for in-depth research and development applications.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and mortality of breast cancer in tumor registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2019.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted. The tumor registration data reported by 13 tumor registration areas in Shanxi Province in 2019 were collected, and the overall incidence and mortality of breast cancer were analyzed. The stratified analysis was conducted by gender and region, and the incidence, mortality, accumulation rate (0-74 years old), age-specific incidence rate, age-specific mortality rate, Chinese population standardized rate and world population standardized rate were calculated. The standard population was based on the 2000 China population census standard population composition and Segi world standard population composition.Results:In 2019, there were 871 new cases of breast cancer in the tumor registration areas of Shanxi Province, with an incidence rate of 17.83/100 000, and 202 deaths, with a mortality rate of 4.13/100 000. The age-specific incidence of breast cancer was at a low level in 0-25 years old, it increased rapidly after 30 years old, and reached a peak in people aged 60 years old. The age-specific mortality showed a slow rising trend with the increase of age, and increased rapidly in people over 75 years old. The age-specific incidence and mortality of breast cancer in female were higher than those in male. Although the general trend of change concerning urban and rural age-specific incidence was similar, the trend of change concerning urban and rural age-specific mortality had their own characteristics. In 4 urban tumor registration areas, the highest male and female Chinese population standardized incidence rates were found in Yuci District of Jinzhong City (0.62/100 000) and Yangquan City (41.86/100 000). Male Chinese population standardized mortality rate was 0/100 000, and the highest female Chinese population standardized mortality rate was found in Yangquan City (12.62/100 000). In 9 rural tumor registration areas, the highest male and female Chinese population standardized incidence rates were found in Jishan County (2.59/100 000) and Pingding County (36.42/100 000). The highest Chinese population standardized mortality rates were found in Yuanqu County (0.89/100 000) and Jishan County (4.82/100 000).Conclusions:Women, urban area people and middle-aged and elderly people are the foci of breast cancer prevention and control in Shanxi Province.
