Objective:To investigate effects of resistance exercise on exercise tolerance,cardiac function and somati-zation symptoms in patients with stable coronary artery disease(SCAD).Methods:SCAD patients without heart failure,who were diagnosed with coronary angiography or coronary CTA in Second Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College,Inner Mongolia University of Science & Technology between June 2020 and June 2022 were select-ed.They were enrolled into groups according to voluntary principle,and 47 cases and 58 cases were finally included in control group and resistance exercise group respectively.Both groups exercised for 12 weeks according to the ex-ercise prescription.Exercise tolerance was assessed using peak oxygen uptake(VO2peak)and anaerobic threshold;left ventricular diastolic function was assessed using cardiac echocardiography mitral early-diastolic peak flow ve-locity/late-diastolic peak flow velocity(E/A);and mental health was assessed using Somatization Symptom Self-rating Scale(SSS).The occurrence of serious cardiovascular adverse events was compared between two groups after 24-week follow-up.Results:Compared with before exercise,after 12-week exercise,there were significant rise in VO2 peak[(17.53±3.92)ml·min-1·kg-1 vs.(20.35±3.70)ml·min-1·kg-1],anaerobic threshold[(11.60±3.40)ml·min-1·kg-1 vs.(12.62±3.16)ml·min-1·kg-1],E peak[(0.63±0.14)mm/s vs.(0.70±0.16)mm/s]and E/A ratio[(0.80±0.14)vs.(0.91±0.24)];and significant reductions in resting heart rate[(76.21±12.70)beats/min vs.(74.36±9.87)beats/min]and SSS score[10.00(5.00,22.25)points vs.9.50(3.00,21.00)points]in resistance exercise group(P＜0.01 all).Compared with the control group,VO2 peak[(18.59±3.93)ml·min-1·kg-1 vs.(20.35±3.70)ml·min-1·kg-1]and E/A ratio[(0.82±0.22)vs.(0.91±0.24)]were significantly higher in resistance exercise group after 12 weeks(P＜0.05 both).After 24-week follow-up,there was no significant difference in incidence rate of serious cardiovascular adverse events between two groups(P=1.000).Conclusion:Resistance exercise can significantly increase exercise tolerance,improve cardiac diastolic function and psychological health in patients with coronary artery disease.

Objective:io investigate the expression level and clinical correlation of microRNA-144/451 gene cluster(miR-144/451)in different types of anemia.Methods:The peripheral blood of patients with aplastic anemia(AA),myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)who had been diagnosed with anemia for the first time and after chemotherapy were collected.The expression levels of miR-144 and miR-451 were measured by RT-qPCR,and the correlation between the expression levels of miR-144 and miR-451 and routine laboratory indexes was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.Results:The expression levels of miR-144 and miR-451 in the peripheral blood of AA and MDS patients were significantly lower than those in normal controls(all P＜0.0 1).No statistical differences were observed in the expression level of miR-144 in three subgroups of DLBCL patients(P＞0.05),while the expression level of miR-451 in peripheral blood of three subgroups of DLBCL patients were significantly higher than those in normal controls(all P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that the expression levels of miR-144 and miR-451 in AA patients were positively correlated with red blood cell distribution width-coefficient of variation(RDW-CV)(r=0.629,0.574).There were no significant correlations between the expression levels of miR-144 and miR-451 and laboratory parameters in MDS and DLBCL patients.Conclusion:Different types of anemia disorders have varying levels of miR-144 and miR-451 expression,which is anticipated to develop into a secondary diagnostic and differential diagnostic indicator for clinical anemia diseases.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the HIV-1 subtype distribution and HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) in patients with ART failure from 2014 to 2020 in Hainan, China. METHODS: A 7-year cross-sectional study was conducted among HIV/AIDS patients with ART failure in Hainan. We used online subtyping tools and the maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree to confirm the HIV subtypes with pol sequences. Drug resistance mutations (DRMs) were analyzed using the Stanford University HIV Drug Resistance Database. RESULTS: A total of 307 HIV-infected patients with ART failure were included, and 241 available pol sequences were obtained. Among 241 patients, CRF01_AE accounted for 68.88%, followed by CRF07_BC (17.00%) and eight other subtypes (14.12%). The overall prevalence of HIVDR was 61.41%, and the HIVDR against non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), and protease inhibitors (PIs) were 59.75%, 45.64%, and 2.49%, respectively. Unemployed patients, hypoimmunity or opportunistic infections in individuals, and samples from 2017 to 2020 increased the odd ratios of HIVDR. Also, HIVDR was less likely to affect female patients. The common DRMs to NNRTIs were K103N (21.99%) and Y181C (20.33%), and M184V (28.21%) and K65R (19.09%) were the main DRMs against NRTIs. CONCLUSION The present study highlights the HIV-1 subtype diversity in Hainan and the importance of HIVDR surveillance over a long period.

Aim To investigate whether notoginsenoside Rl (PNS-R1) alleviates allergic rhinitis (AR) through AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mitochondrial fission critical protein (DRP1) -mediated mitochondrial fission. Methods Different doses of PNSRl were used to treat ovalbumin (OVA) -induced AR model mice,and the inhibitory effect of PNS-R1 on AR was investigated by observing allergic symptoms such as nasal rubbing and sneezing, as well as HE staining of nasal tissues. Serum IgE levels and nasal lavage fluid (NLF) inflammatory cytokine levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blot. In vitro human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpC) were stimulated with IL-13 to observe apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, cellular ROS and mitochondrial ROS production, as well as the expression levels of AMPK/DRP1, expression levels of the TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasomes and the translocation of DRP1. Results PNS-R1 attenuated allergic symptoms in AR mice, HE staining reduced inflammatory cells and reduced the levels of OVA-specific IgE in serum, and the levels of IL-4, IL-6, and IL-8 in NLF. PNS-R1 attenuated the apoptosis and ROS production of nasal epithelial cells in AR. In vitro PNS-R1 could up-regulate mitochondrial membrane potential after IL-13 stimulation, reduce ROS and mtROS production, the proportion of apoptotic positive cells, and reduce cleaved caspase-3, Bax, and up-regulate Bcl-2 expression, down-regulate DRP1 phosphorylation (Ser 616) and DRP1 translocation at the mitochondrial membrane in an AMPK-dependent manner, reducing TXNIP/NLRP3 expression. Conclusions PNS-R1 can protect mitochondrial integrity by inhibiting the AMPK/DRP1 signaling axis and its subsequent TXNIP/NLRP3 signaling axis,thereby alleviating rhinitis in AR mice.

OBJECTIVE: To screen the differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells with acquired resistance to osimertinib and explore their roles in drug resistance of the cells. METHODS: The cell lines H1975_OR and HCC827_OR with acquired osimertinib resistance were derived from their osimertinib-sensitive parental NSCLC cell lines H1975 and HCC827, respectively, and their sensitivity to osimertinib was assessed with CCK-8 assay, clone formation assay and flow cytometry. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) were used to screen the differentially expressed lncRNAs in osimertinib-resistant cells. The role of the identified lncRNA in osimertinib resistance was explored using CCK-8, clone formation and Transwell assays, and its subcellular localization and downstream targets were analyzed by nucleoplasmic separation, bioinformatics analysis and qPCR. RESULTS: The resistance index of H1975_OR and HCC827_OR cells to osimertinib was 598.70 and 428.82, respectively (P < 0.001), and the two cell lines showed significantly increased proliferation and colony-forming abilities with decreased apoptosis (P < 0.01). RNA-seq identified 34 differentially expressed lncRNAs in osimertinib-resistant cells, and among them lnc-TMEM132D-AS1 showed the highest increase of expression after acquired osimertinib resistance (P < 0.01). Analysis of the TCGA database suggested that the level of lnc-TMEM132D-AS1 was significantly higher in NSCLC than in adjacent tissues (P < 0.001), and its high expression was associated with a poor prognosis of the patients. In osimertinib-sensitive cells, overexpression of Lnc-TMEM132D-AS1 obviously promoted cell proliferation, colony formation and migration (P < 0.05), while Lnc-TMEM132D-AS1 knockdown partially restored osimertinib sensitivity of the resistant cells (P < 0.01). Lnc-TMEM132D-AS1 was localized mainly in the cytoplasm, and bioinformatics analysis suggested that hsa-miR-766-5p was its candidate target, and their expression levels were inversely correlated. The target mRNAs of hsa-miR-766-5p were mainly enriched in the Ras signaling pathway. CONCLUSION The expression of lnc-TMEM132D-AS1 is significantly upregulated in NSCLC cells with acquired osimertinib resistance, and may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for osimertinibresistant NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of polydatin ( PD) on allergic rhinitis (AH) by regulating mitophagy through PINK1- Parkin signaling pathway, and to provide a new target for clinical treatment of AH.Methods Thirty-two BALB/c murine were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, OVA group, PD low-dose (30 mg • kg 1 ) and high-dose ( 45 mg • kg 1 ) treatment groups.At the end of modeling, the total number of sneezing and nasal nibbing of murine was recorded.HE staining was used to observe the morphology of na- sal mucosal epithelium and eosinophil infiltration.Western blot was used to detect the expression of P1NK1 , Parkin, TOM20 and mitochondrial apoptosis- related proteins Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, cleaved- caspase-3 and Cytochrome C.Hie expression of P1NK1 and cleaved-caspase-3 in nasal epithelial cells (HNEpC) was observed by immunofluorescence.Re¬sults The frequency of sneezing and nasal rubbing movements was significantly increased, the nasal mu¬cosa epithelium was thickened, and eosinophils were accumulated in AH murine , these results were reversed after PD treatment.Western blot results shower] that signaling proteins PINK1/Parkin anrl pro-apoptotie pro¬teins, including Bax, caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-3 and Cytochrome C were significantly overexpressed, the expression of TOM20 and Bcl-2 was decreased in OVA group, and PD up-regulated the levels of P1NK1 , Parkin, as well as Bcl-2 and inhibited the expression of TDM20 and pro-apoptotic proteins, while after pre- treatment with mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 ( Mdi- vi-1 ) , the expression of P1NK1 and Parkin was re¬duced , the expression of TOM20 was increased, while PD treatment did not significantly affect this effect.From the immunofluorescence results, it can be seen that the level of P1NK1 was increased after IL-13 stim¬ulation of HNEpCs compared with the control group, and PD further up-regulated the expression of P1NK1 , which was suppressed after pretreatment with Mdivi-1 , while PD did not change this phenomenon.Western blot results for P1NK1 and cleaved-caspase-3 were con¬firmed by immunofluorescence.Conclusion PD may activate mitophagy through the P1NK1 -Parkin signaling pathway, thereby protecting against AR.

Content of multiple components (neochlorogenic acid,L-tryptophan,vicenin-2,isoquercitrin,and astragalin) in Moringa oleifera leaves was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC),and the absolute content-time curves were plotted.Based on Fick's law of diffusion and Higbie's penetration theory,the parameters of the equations were calculated,and the measured results were substituted into the mathematical model to fit the equations.The n and a obtained from the equations on the decocting time factor and the solvent volume were close to each other.The dynamic models of the five components are as follows:■.The variation of the content of multiple components in M.oleifera leaves with time and solvent volume was explored.It was found that the content of the components was the highest when the leaves were decocted for 30 min with solvent volume 12 folds of the medicinal material.The dissolution and destruction of components and the diffusion movement of components are the main causes of the content change of M.oleifera leaves at different time and with different solvent volumes.The R~2of the linear equations on the content and the equations on the decocting process (5-30min and solvent volume 12-20 folds of the medicinal materials) was≥0.999 8 and≥0.9,respectively.Thus,the content determination and the decocting kinetic model had high accuracy,which can reflect the change law of the content of key components in M.oleifera leaves during the decoction.This study is expected to serve as a reference for optimizing the decocting technology.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of the microbiota in drug naïve first-onset schizophrenia patients and to seek evidence from multidimensional longitudinal analyses of the intestinal microbiome and clinical phenotype with antipsychotic drugs (APDs) therapy. METHODS: In this study, 28 drug naïve first onset schizophrenia patients and age-, gender- and education-matched 29 healthy controls were included, and the patients were treated with APDs. We collected fecal and serum samples at baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment to identify the different microbiota strains and analyse their correlation with clinical symptoms and serum metabolites. The 16S rRNA genes of the gut microbiota were sequenced, and the diversity and relative abundance at the phylum and genus levels were analyzsed in detail. The PANSS score, BMI changed value, and serum metabolome were included in the data analyses. RESULTS: A multiomics study found a potential connection among the clinical phenotype, microbiota and metabolome. The species diversity analyses revealed that the alpha diversity index (chao1, ACE, and goods_coverage) in the schizophrenia APDs group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the schizophrenia group had clear demarcation from the control group. The microbiota composition analysis results showed that the relative abundance of the genera of Bacteroides, Streptococcus, Romboutsia, and Eubacterium ruminantium group significantly changed after APDs treatment in the schizophrenia patients. These strains could reflect the APDs treatment effect. More genera had differences between the patient and control groups. The LEfSe analysis showed that Prevotella_9 and Bacteroides were enriched in schizophrenia, while Blautia, Dialister, and Roseburia were enriched in the control group. The correlation analysis between microbiota and clinical symptoms showed that Bifidobacterium in schizophrenia was positively correlated with the PANSS reduction rate of the general psychopathology scale. The BMI changed value was positively correlated with the alteration of Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 during treatment and the baseline abundance of Bacteroides. Moreover, metabolomic data analysis revealed a significant correlation between specific genera and metabolites, such as L-methionine, L-proline, homovanillic acid, N-acetylserotonin, and vitamin B6. CONCLUSION Our study found some microbiota features in schizophrenia patients and healthy controls, and several strains were correlated with APDs effects. Furthermore, the multiomics analysis implies the intermediate role of microbiota between antipsychotic effects and serum metabolites and provides new evidence to interpret the difference from multiple levels in the pathogenesis and pharmacological mechanism of schizophrenia.
