And combined with intelligent sensory technologies such as colorimeter and electronic nose， the chroma and odor information of CRP before and after being stir-fried with Halloysitum Rubrum were identified. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between volatile differential components and chroma values. ResultsA total of 112 volatile components were identified from CRP and CRP stir-fried with Halloysitum Rubrum， of which 84 were from CRP and 97 were from CRP stir-fried with Halloysitum Rubrum. And 7 differential components were selected， including α-pinene， β-myrcene， linalool， sabinene， ocimene isomer mixture， A-ocimene， and δ-elemene. After being processed with Halloysitum Rubrum， the brightness value（L^*）， yellow-blue value（b^*） and total chromatic value（E^*_ab） of CRP were decreased（P<0.01）， and red-green value（a^*） was increased（P<0.01）， the response values of S4， S5， S10 and S13 sensors were significantly increased（P<0.05）， and the response values of S3 and S8 sensors were significantly decreased（P<0.05）. Correlation analysis showed that α-pinene and β-myrcene were negatively correlated with L^* and E^*_ab， but positively correlated with a^*. Sabinene was positively correlated with L^* and E^*_ab. Linalool was positively correlated with L^* and E^*_ab， and negatively correlated with a^*. The ocimene isomer mixture was positively correlated with the L^*. ConclusionAfter being processed with Halloysitum Rubrum， the appearance color， odor and volatile components of CRP change significantly， and α-pinene， β-myrcene， sabinene， linalool and A-ocimene are the characteristic volatile components before and after processing， which can provide references for the quality evaluation and clinical application of CRP and its processed products.

NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is a flavin protease highly expressed in various cancer cells. NQO1 catalyzes a futile redox cycle in substrates, leading to substantial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. This ROS generation results in extensive DNA damage and elevated poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1)-mediated consumption of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺), ultimately causing cell death. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme in the NAD⁺ salvage synthesis pathway, emerges as a critical target in cancer therapy. The concurrent inhibition of NQO1 and NAMPT triggers hyperactivation of PARP1 and intensive NAD⁺ depletion. In this study, we designed, synthesized, and assessed a novel series of proqodine A derivatives targeting both NQO1 and NAMPT. Among these, compound T8 demonstrated potent antitumor properties. Specifically, T8 selectively inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 cells and induced apoptosis through mechanisms dependent on both NQO1 and NAMPT. This discovery offers a promising new molecular entity for advancing anticancer research.

Objective To explore the impact of high glucose(HG)intervention on immune escape of pancreatic cancer cells and its molecular mechanisms.Methods PANC-1 cells were treated with different concentrations of glucose(0,7.5,15,30 mmol/L)for 24 h to establish high glucose intervention PANC-1 cells.miR-429 mimics and its negative control(mimics NC)were transfected into PANC-1 cells,which were divided into control group,HG group,HG+mimics NC group,HG+mimics group,HG+mimics+oe-NC group,and HG+mimics+oe-ZEB1 group.Flow cytometry was utilized to measure the expression level of cell surface molecule PD-L1;qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of miR-429 and ZEB1 mRNA in cells;Western blot was used to detect the ex-pression level of ZEB1 protein in cells.The above-mentioned PANC-1 cells from each group were co-cultured with CD8+T cells to establish a co-culture system,and CCK-8 was used to assess cell proliferation activity;apoptosis levels of cells were measured using flow cytometry;lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)release assay was used to detect the killing effect of CD8+T cells on PANC-1 cells;dual-luciferase reporter system was used to validate the target-regulatory relationship between mi R-429 and ZEB1.Results HG could promote the expression of cell surface mole-cules PD-L1 and ZEB1 in PANC-1 cells(P＜0.05),inhibit the expression of miR-429,and exhibit concentration dependence.Overexpression of miR-429 could significantly suppress the expression of cell surface molecule PD-L1 induced by HG in PANC-1 cells,while overexpression of ZEB1 could reverse the inhibitory effect of miR-429 over-expression on the expression of cell surface molecule PD-L1 induced by HG.After establishing a co-culture system with CD8+T cells,compared with the control group,the proliferation activity of PANC-1 cells in the HG group sig-nificantly increased,and the apoptosis rate and cytotoxicity significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the HG+mimics NC group,the proliferation activity of PANC-1 cells in the HG+mimics group significantly decreased,and the apoptosis level and cytotoxicity significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the HG+mimics group,the proliferation activity of PANC-1 cells in the HG+mimics+oe-ZEB1 group significantly increased,and the apop-tosis rate and cytotoxicity significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that miR-429 negatively regulated ZEB1.Conclusion High glucose promotes immune escape of PANC-1 cells by down-regulating the expression level of miR-429,negatively regulating the expression of ZEB1 mRNA,and increasing the expression level of cell surface molecule PD-L1 in PANC-1 cells.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application effect of bypass vein bridging in repairing high-voltage electric burn wounds on the head with free anterolateral thigh flaps.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From May 2017 to December 2022, 8 patients with high-voltage electric burns on the head who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Zhengzhou First People's Hospital, including 6 males and 2 females, aged 33 to 73 years. All patients had skull exposure, including 3 cases of large skull defect, 1 case of left eye necrosis, and 3 cases of cerebral hemorrhage. After debridement, the head wound area was from 13 cm×7 cm to 21 cm×15 cm, and the free anterolateral thigh flap with the area of 14 cm×8 cm to 22 cm×16 cm was cut for repair. The main descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery carried by the flap was anastomosed end-to-end with the superficial temporal artery in the recipient area. One accompanying vein of the anastomotic artery of the flap was end-to-end anastomosed with the branch of the external jugular vein via great saphenous vein bridging, and the other accompanying vein was end-to-end anastomosed with the superficial temporal vein in the recipient area. The donor site wounds were directly sutured or closed with medium-thickness skin grafts from inner thigh. The blood supply and survival of the flap, and the wound healing on the head were observed after operation. The blood flow and lumen filling of the transplanted vein were observed and recorded by using color ultrasound diagnostic system within 2 weeks after operation. The wound repair method and wound healing of the flap donor site were recorded and observed. Patients were followed up to observe the appearance of the flaps and the flap donor sites, the muscle strength of the lower limbs where the flap donor site was located, and whether the patient could complete standing, walking, and squatting using the lower limbs where the flap donor site was located.Results:The flaps of 8 patients survived after operation, and no arterial or venous crisis occurred. The wounds of 5 patients on the head healed after operation, and the wounds of 3 patients on the head healed after second debridement 21 to 35 days after operation due to exudates under the flap 2 weeks after operation. Within 2 weeks after operation, the grafted vein continued to be unobstructed. After the ultrasound probe was pressurized, the grafted vein could be deflated, and the blood vessels were rapidly filled after the probe was released. The wounds of flap donor sites of 3 patients were directly sutured and healed 2 weeks after operation. The wounds of flap donor sites of 5 patients were closed with medium-thickness skin grafts from inner thigh, and all the skin grafts survived 12 days after operation. During follow-up of 6 to 12 months, the head flaps of all patients were slightly bloated without hair growth. Mild linear or patchy scar hyperplasia was left in the donor site. The muscle strength of the lower limbs where the flap donor site was located was normal and did not decrease. The patients could stand, walk, and squat with the lower limbs where the flap donor site was located.Conclusions:When using the free anterolateral thigh flap to repair high-voltage electric burn wounds of various areas and depths on the head, bypass vein bridging can reduce the occurrence of postoperative flap vein crisis and improve the quality of postoperative wound healing without affecting the function of the lower limbs where the flap donor site is located.

Background::Psychological stress has been reported to be a potential risk factor for hypertension among females, but it remains unclear whether spousal chronic stress levels alter the risk of hypertension among women. We examined the associations between stress within the family and hypertension among married women.Methods::Reproductive-aged women who were planning for pregnancy and their husbands were recruited from the National Free Pre-pregnancy Checkup Projects (NFPCP) across 31 provinces in China in 2016 and 2017. Perceived stress of wives or husbands was measured with a 5-point Likert-type scale, and assessed from three domains: work/life-related stress, economic stress, and overall stress. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between stress status and the prevalence of hypertension.Results::Of 10,027,644 couples, 261,098 (2.60%) women had hypertension. The results showed that higher stress levels among themselves or their husbands were associated with a higher prevalence of hypertension in women ( Pfor trend <0.001). Compared with non-stressed participants, female participants with the highest stress themselves were at a greater risk of hypertension, with adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.31 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25-1.37); and compared with participants whose husbands had no stress, those whose husbands had the highest stress level were at a higher risk of hypertension with adjusted OR of 1.24 (95% CI: 1.20-1.29). Moreover, compared with non-stressed status for both couples, only-wife-stressed, only-husband-stressed, and both-stressed couples were found to be significantly associated with increased risks of wives’ hypertension, with adjusted ORs of 1.28 (95% CI: 1.25-1.31), 1.19 (95% CI: 1.17-1.21), and 1.28 (95% CI: 1.26-1.31), respectively. Conclusion::Moderate to severe stress in both spouses might be associated with female hypertension prevalence, which highlights the importance of paying attention to the psychological stresses of couples within the family.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of silencing RNA-373(mir-373)on the proliferation and apoptosis of laryngeal cancer cells and its mechanism.METHODS Laryngeal cancer cells were divided into control group,overexpression group and silence group.Stable overexpression group and silence group were established by cell transfection.MTT assay was used to detect cell proliferation,TUNEL method was used to detect the apoptotic ability,cell invasion was detected by Transwell chamber,cell migration was detected by cell scratch test,Western blot was used to detect the expression of β-Catenin,c-myc,CyclinD1,MMP-9,bc1-2 and Bax in Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.RESULTS Compared with over expression group,the expression of mir-373 in silence group was significantly decreased(t=15.062,P<0.05).Compared with the overexpression group,the apoptosis rate was higher and the proliferation rate was lower in the silencing group at different time points(t=31.025,16.453,22.475,29.672,P<0.05).Compared with overexpression group,the invasion ability and migration number of cells in silencing group were lower(t=35.254,37.205,P<0.05).Compared with overexpression group,the expression levels of β-Catenin,c-myc,CyclinD1,MMP-9,bc1-2 protein in silencing group were lower,and Bax protein was higher(t=4.218,5.307,4.609,5.005,4.328,3.984,P<0.05).CONCLUSION Silencing mir-373 may promote apoptosis and inhibit invasion,proliferation and migration of laryngeal cancer cells by promoting Bax expression,inhibiting the expression of β-Catenin,c-myc,CyclinD1,MMP-9 and bc1-2,and blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
