RESUMEN
Saline-alkali stress is one of the main abiotic stresses that limits plant growth. Salt stress has been widely studied, but alkaline salt degradation caused by NaHCO3 has rarely been investigated. In the present study, the alfalfa cultivar 'Zhongmu No. 1' was treated with 50 mM NaHCO3 (0, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h) to study the resulting enzyme activity and changes in mRNA, miRNA and metabolites in the roots. The results showed that the enzyme activity changed significantly after alkali stress treatment. The genomic analysis revealed 14,970 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEMs), 53 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMis), and 463 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs). Combined analysis of DEMs and DEMis revealed that 21 DEMis negatively regulated 42 DEMs. In addition, when combined with Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of DEMs and DAMs, we found that phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis, starch and sucrose metabolism and plant hormone signal transduction played important roles in the alkali stress response. The results of this study further elucidated the regulatory mechanism underlying the plant response to alkali stress and provided valuable information for the breeding of new saline-alkaline tolerance plant varieties.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Recent research has explored the linkage between major depressive disorder (MDD) and inflammation, especially via altered peripheral blood immune markers. However, the relationship between several novel leukocyte-derived ratios (LDR) and psychological stress in MDD remains uncertain. This study aimed to explore the relationship between LDR, clinical characteristics, recent life events, and childhood maltreatment in MDD patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional case-control study was conducted involving 59 healthy controls (HC) and 50 unmedicated MDD patients. Subjects underwent psychological assessments and peripheral blood measurements. LDR assessed in this study included neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived NLR (dNLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), white blood cell-to-mean platelet volume ratio (WMR), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), multiplication of neutrophil and monocyte counts (MNM), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI). RESULTS: MDD patients displayed significant alterations in WMR, PLR, and MNM compared to HC, as well as correlations between several LDR and various clinical features (duration of untreated psychosis and dNLR, the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire and PLR, the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire and SIRI (NLR and dNLR). There was a significant difference in the comparison of WMR in first-episode patients than in recurrent patients. Analyses further revealed an association between Life Event Scale total scores and NLR (dNLR). No correlation was found between Childhood Trauma Questionnaire total (or subscale) scores and LDR. Additionally, WMR and dNLR presented potential predictive value for distinguishing between MDD and HC. CONCLUSION: The study concludes that MDD and some clinical features are associated with alterations in some peripheral blood LDR. These findings emphasize the potential role of peripheral blood LDR in the pathogenesis and clinical heterogeneity of MDD.

In recent years, there have been frequent jellyfish outbreaks in Chinese coastal waters, significantly impacting the structure, functionality, safety, and economy of nuclear power plant cooling water intake and nearby ecosystems. Therefore, this study focuses on jellyfish outbreaks in Chinese coastal waters, particularly near the Shandong Peninsula. By analyzing jellyfish abundance data, a Generalized Additive Model integrating environmental factors reveals that temperature and salinity greatly influence jellyfish density. The results show variations in jellyfish density among years, with higher densities in coastal areas. The model explains 42.2% of the variance, highlighting the positive correlation between temperature (20-26 °C) and jellyfish density, as well as the impact of salinity (27.5-29‱). Additionally, ocean currents play a significant role in nearshore jellyfish aggregation, with a correlation between ocean currents and site coordinates. This study aims to investigate the relationship between jellyfish blooms and environmental factors. The results obtained from the study provide data support for the prevention and control of blockages in nuclear power plant cooling systems, and provide a data basis for the implementation of monitoring measures in nuclear power plants.
RESUMEN
The evolution of the information transfer capability of an optical system for underwater focused wave mode localized wave (FWMLW) in anisotropic weakly turbulent absorbing seawater is studied. By developing the probability distribution function as well as the detection probability of the vortex modes carried by the FWMLW and the average bit error rate of the FWMLW underwater system, the information capacity of the FWMLW system with a pointing error is modeled. Through a numerical analysis of the effects of turbulent seawater and optical system parameters on the built light intensity, the detection probability, and the information capacity models, we find that the FWMLW system has an optimal delay time determined by the spectrum bandwidth when the spectrum bandwidth is greater than 1. The information capacity of the FWMLW system is higher than that of the X localized wave system under the same turbulent seawater channel condition, and FWMLW is a better optical signal source for vortex mode division multiplexing underwater systems than a Bessel-Gaussian beam.
RESUMEN
The cosmogenic radionuclide 7Be (T1/2: 53.29 days) and 10Be (T1/2: 1.39 My), as unique tracers, play an excellent indicative role in atmospheric environmental changes and Earth surface processes. Currently, their different characteristics and influencing factors in various natural climate environments are still vague. Here, we used a state-of-the-art accelerator mass spectrometry to synchronously measure the ultra-trace 7Be and 10Be in aerosols, obtaining the spatial and temporal variability of daily-resolution atmospheric 7Be and 10Be in different natural climate regions (n = 11) of China. The survey results show that the 10Be and 7Be concentrations in the central/southern regions of China (22-38°N, 85-119°E) in 2020/21 are (0.5-18.7)·104 and (0.4-6.1)·104 atoms·m-3, respectively, with 10Be/7Be ratios of 0.7-3.3. Except for the Tibetan Plateau, there are differences in the concentration thresholds of 10Be and 7Be in various regions, especially in 10Be concentration. These 10Be/7Be thresholds are consistent in areas with an altitude range of 4-3420 m a.s.l and reach their highest values throughout the spring of the year. The analysis results indicate that both 7Be and 10Be are influenced by local meteorological conditions such as rainfall and boundary layer disturbances, while also exhibiting different distribution states. This distribution states is due to the re-suspended soil dust 10Be interference caused by soil wind erosion to varying degrees in different regions, with an average contribution to aerosol 10Be of 5.0 ± 2.6 %-24.2 % ± 13.3 %, and is controlled by local annual rainfall (r = 0.8, p < 0.01). Furthermore, unlike the characteristics of 10Be and 7Be concentrations influenced by local meteorological conditions, the daily variation of corrected 10Be/7Be exhibits independence from meteorological processes other than stratosphere troposphere transport, and its significant seasonal oscillations indicate changes in atmospheric circulation in the East Asian monsoon region.
RESUMEN
Blood group is a potential genetic element in coronary artery disease. Nevertheless, the relationship between different ABO blood groups and myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) is poorly understood. This study verified whether ABO blood group is a potential MINS influencing factor. This retrospective cohort study included 1201 patients who underwent elective non-cardiac surgery and a mandatory troponin test on postoperative days 1 and 2 from 2019 to 2020 at a university-affiliated tertiary hospital. The primary outcome was associations between ABO blood groups and MINS, assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic-regression analyses. Path analysis was used to investigate direct and indirect effects between blood group and MINS. MINS incidence (102/1201, 8.5%) was higher in blood-type B patients than in non-B patients [blood-type B: 44/400 (11.0%) vs. non-B: 58/801 (7.2%); adjusted odds ratio = 1.57 (1.03-2.38); p = 0.036]. In the confounding factor model, preoperative hypertension and coronary artery disease medical history were associated with MINS risk [adjusted odds ratio: 2.00 (1.30-3.06), p = 0.002; 2.81 (1.71-4.61), p < 0.001, respectively]. Path analysis did not uncover any mediating role for hypertension, diabetes, or coronary artery disease between blood type and MINS. Therefore, blood-type B is associated with higher MINS risk; potential mediators of this association need to be investigated.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor. In the present study, we identified a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) AC100826.1 (simplify to Lnc1), which was highly expressed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues compared with the paracancerous tissues. We also observed the critical role of Lnc1 in regulating the metastasis ability of NSCLC cells. METHODS: RNA sequencing was performed to detect differential expression levels of lncRNAs in NSCLC tissues and its paracancerous tissues. Effects of Lnc1 on cell proliferation, invasion, and migration were determined by CCK-8, transwell and scratch assays. The xenograft experiment confirmed the effect of Lnc1 on NSCLC cells proliferation and migration abilities in vivo. RT-qPCR and western blots were performed to determine the expression levels of mRNAs and proteins. RESULTS: The expression level of Lnc1 was related to multiple pathological results, knockdown of Lnc1 can inhibit the proliferation and metastasis abilities of NSCLC cells. silencing phospholipase C, ß1(PLCB1) can reverse the promoting effects of overexpression Lnc1 on NSCLC cells proliferation and migration abilities. In addition, the Rap1 signaling pathway was implicated in the regulation of Lnc1 in NSCLC metastasis. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that Lnc1 regulated the metastatic ability of NSCLC cells through targeting the PLCB1/Rap1 signal pathway.

Bovine mastitis (BM) is mainly caused by bacterial infection that has a highly impact on dairy production, affecting both economic viability and animal well-being. A cross-sectional study was conducted in dairy farms to investigate the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance patterns of bacterial pathogens associated with BM. The analysis revealed that Staphylococcus (49%), Escherichia (16%), Pseudomonas (11%), and Klebsiella (6%) were the primary bacterial pathogens associated with mastitis. A significant proportion of Staphylococcus strains displayed multiple drug resistance. The use of disinfectants is an important conventional measure to control the pathogenic bacteria in the environment. Bacteriophages (Phages), possessing antibacterial properties, are natural green and effective disinfectants. Moreover, they mitigate the risk of generating harmful disinfection byproducts, which are commonly associated with traditional disinfection methods. Based on the primary bacterial pathogens associated with mastitis in the investigation area, a phage cocktail, named SPBC-SJ, containing seven phages capable of lysing S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa was formulated. SPBC-SJ exhibited superior bactericidal activity and catharsis effect on pollutants (glass surface) compared to chemical disinfectants. Clinical trials confirmed that the SPBC-SJ-based superimposed disinfection group (phage combined with chemical disinfectants) not only cut down the dosage of disinfectants used, but significantly reduced total bacterial counts on the ground and in the feeding trough of dairy farms. Furthermore, SPBC-SJ significantly reduced the abundance of Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas in the environment of the dairy farm. These findings suggest that phage-based superimposed disinfection is a promising alternative method to combat mastitis pathogens in dairy farms due to its highly efficient and environmentally-friendly properties.

ZSM-5 zeolites with modified acidity and diffusivity are employed as catalysts for the shape-selective alkylation of toluene with ethanol to para-ethyltoluene (p-ET). To avoid pore blocking and loss of active sites caused by traditional methods of enhancing para-selectivity using modifiers, here, we constructed twin intergrowth structured ZSM-5 (Z5-T), achieving modulation of the inherent acidity and diffusivity through interface engineering. The characterization results demonstrate that due to the intergrowth interface, the Z5-T catalyst forms more inherent Lewis acid sites and also renders more sinusoidal channels opened to the surface. Z5-T with an appropriate acidity and enhanced shape-selectivity inhibits side reactions such as isomerization and coke formation, demonstrating improved p-ET selectivity (>90%) and catalytic stability (>200 h) in the alkylation of toluene with ethanol.
RESUMEN
The homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium heavily relies on the self-renewal and differentiation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Although the orchestration of these processes by signaling pathways such as the Wnt, BMP, Notch, and MAPK signals has been extensively studied, the dynamics of their regulation remains unclear. Our study explores how the Wnt signaling pathway temporally regulates the differentiation of ISCs into various cell types in an intestinal organoid system. We report that the duration of Wnt exposure following Notch pathway inactivation significantly influences the differentiation direction of intestinal epithelial cells toward multiple secretory cell types, including goblet cells, enteroendocrine cells (EECs), and Paneth cells. This temporal regulation of Wnt signaling adds another layer of complexity to the combination of niche signals that govern cell fate. By manipulating this temporal signal, we have developed optimized protocols for the efficient in vitro differentiation of ISCs into EECs and goblet cells. These findings provide critical insights into the dynamic regulation of ISC differentiation and offer a robust platform for future investigations into intestinal biology and potential therapeutic applications.

The lack of acid-proof high-potential cathode largely limits the development and competitiveness of proton batteries. Herein, the authors systematically investigated six dihydroxynaphthalenes (DHNs) and found that 2,6-DHN delivered the best cathode performance in proton battery with the highest redox potential (0.84 V, vs SHE) and a specific capacity of 91.6 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 . In situ solid-state electropolymerization of DHNs is responsible for the voltage and capacity fading of DHNs, and 2,6-DHN's excellent electrochemical performance is derived from its high polymerization energy barrier. By compounding with rGO, the 2,6-DHN/rGO electrode can maintain a specific capacity of 89 mAh g-1 even after 12â¯000 cycles at 5 A g-1 . When it is paired with the 2,6-dihydroxyanthraquinone (DHAQ) anode, the assembled rocking-chair all-organic proton battery exhibited a high cell voltage of 0.85 V, and excellent energy/power densities (70.8 Wh kg-1 /850 W kg-1 ). This study showcases a new-type high-potential proton-containing organic cathode and paves the way for constructing a high-voltage rocking-chair proton battery. Also, in situ solid-state electropolymerization will inspire the further study of phenol-based small-molecule electrodes.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects approximately 10% of adults worldwide. CM310 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-4 receptor alpha that blocks interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 signaling. This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM310 in Chinese adults with moderate-to-severe AD. METHODS: This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial was conducted in 21 medical institutions in China from February to November 2021. Totally 120 eligible patients were enrolled and randomized (1:1:1) to receive subcutaneous injections of 300 mg CM310, 150 mg CM310, or placebo every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, followed by an 8-week follow-up period. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving ≥75% improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) score from baseline at week 16. Safety and pharmacodynamics were also studied. RESULTS: At week 16, the proportion of EASI-75 responders from baseline was significantly higher in the CM310 groups (70% [28/40] for high-dose and 65% [26/40] for low-dose) than that in the placebo group (20%[8/40]). The differences in EASI-75 response rate were 50% (high vs . placebo, 95% CI 31%-69%) and 45% (low vs . placebo, 95% CI 26%-64%), with both P values <0.0001. CM310 at both doses also significantly improved the EASI score, Investigator's Global Assessment score, daily peak pruritus Numerical Rating Scale, AD-affected body surface area, and Dermatology Life Quality Index compared with placebo. CM310 treatment reduced levels of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine, total immunoglobulin E, lactate dehydrogenase, and blood eosinophils. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar among all three groups, with the most common TEAEs reported being upper respiratory tract infection, atopic dermatitis, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. No severe adverse events were deemed to be attributed to CM310. CONCLUSION: CM310 at 150 mg and 300 mg every 2 weeks demonstrated significant efficacy and was well-tolerated in adults with moderate-to-severe AD.

Isoflurane, a widely used inhalation anesthetic in clinical practice, is associated with an increased risk of neuronal injury. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) plays a crucial role in maintaining neuronal homeostasis under stress conditions; however, its role during isoflurane exposure remains poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the protective effects of HSP90 inhibition and explore the regulatory mechanisms underlying these effects during isoflurane exposure. We found that the HSP90 inhibitor 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17 AAG) has great protective effects in mitigating isoflurane-induced ferroptosis of mouse hippocampus and cultured neuronal cells. We focused on the activity of the crucial protein GPX4 in ferroptosis and found that 17 AAG exerted protective effects, preserving the physiological GPX4 activity under isoflurane exposure; further, 17 AAG restored the protein level of GPX4. Further, we observed that the chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) pathway was activated; 17 AAG also mediated GPX4 degradation under isoflurane exposure. Additionally, it interfered with the formation of complexes between HSP90 and Lamp-2a, inhibiting CMA activity, followed by the blockade of GPX4 degradation, further affecting the isoflurane-induced ferroptosis. Based on these findings, we proposed HSP90 inhibition as a protective mechanism against isoflurane-induced ferroptosis in neurons.

Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral nerve pain (OIPNP) is a common chemotherapy-related complication, but the mechanism is complex. Mitochondria are vital for cellular homeostasis and regulating oxidative stress. Parkin-mediated mitophagy is a cellular process that removes damaged mitochondria, exhibiting a protective effect in various diseases; however, its role in OIPNP remains unclear. In this study, we found that Parkin-mediated mitophagy was decreased, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) was upregulated in OIPNP rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in vivo and in PC12 cells stimulated with oxaliplatin (OXA) in vitro. Overexpression of Parkin indicated that OXA might cause mitochondrial and cell damage by inhibiting mitophagy. We also showed that salidroside (SAL) upregulated Parkin-mediated mitophagy to eliminate damaged mitochondria and promote PC12 cell survival. Knockdown of Parkin indicated that mitophagy is crucial for apoptosis and mitochondrial homeostasis in PC12 cells. In vivo study also demonstrated that SAL enhances Parkin-mediated mitophagy in the DRG and alleviates peripheral nerve injury and pain. These results suggest that Parkin-mediated mitophagy is involved in the pathogenesis of OIPNP and may be a potential therapeutic target for OIPNP.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This article discusses the effects and mechanisms of Parkin-mediated mitophagy in oxaliplatin-induced peripheral nerve pain (OIPNP) from both in vivo and in vitro. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because OIPNP has always been the focus of clinical medicine, and mitochondrial quality regulation mechanisms especially Parkin-mediated mitophagy, have been deeply studied in recent years. We use a variety of molecular biological techniques and animal experiments to support our argument.

Cancer metabolism has emerged as a major target for cancer therapy, while the state of mitochondrial drugs has remained largely unexplored, partly due to an inadequate understanding of various mitochondrial functions in tumor contexts. Here, we report that HOMER3 is highly expressed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is closely correlated with poor prognosis. Lung cancer cells with low levels of HOMER3 are found to show significant mitochondrial dysfunction, thereby suppressing their proliferation and metastasis in vivo and in vitro. At the mechanistic level, we demonstrate that HOMER3 and platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase 1b catalytic subunit 3 cooperate to upregulate the level of GA-binding protein subunit beta-1 (GABPB1), a key transcription factor involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, to control mitochondrial inner membrane genes and mitochondrial function. Concurrently, low levels of HOMER3 and its downstream target GABPB1 led to mitochondrial dysfunction and decreased proliferation and invasive activity of lung cancer cells, which raises the possibility that targeting mitochondrial synthesis is an important and promising therapeutic approach for NSCLC.

All-solid lithium (Li) metal batteries (ASSLBs) with sulfide-based solid electrolyte (SEs) films exhibit excellent electrochemical performance, rendering them capable of satisfying the growing demand for energy storage systems. However, challenges persist in the application of SEs film owing to their reactivity with Li metal and uncontrolled formation of lithium dendrites. In this study, iodine-doped poly(vinylidenefluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) as an interlayer (PHI) to establish a stable interphase between Li metal and Li6 PS5 Cl (LPSCl) films is investigated. The release of I ions and PVDF-HFP produces LiI and LiF, effectively suppressing lithium dendrite growth. Density functional theory calculations show that the synthesized interlayer layer exhibits high interfacial energy. Results show that the PHI@Li/LPSCl film/PHI@Li symmetrical cells can cycle for more than 650 h at 0.1 mA cm-2 . The PHI@Li/LPSCl film/NCM622 cell exhibits a distinct enhancement in capacity retention of ≈26% when using LiNi0.6 Mn0.2 Co0.2 O2 (NCM622) as the cathode, compared to pristine Li metal as the anode. This study presents a feasible method for producing next-generation dendrite-free SEs films, promoting their practical use in ASSLBs.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Stellate ganglion block (SGB) is usually used in the department of algiatry. But preoperative SGB may reduce adverse cardiovascular events in high-risk patients, although evidence remains sparse. Therefore, we aim to determine whether a single-shot postoperative SGB can reduce the incidence of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) and improve recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is an investigator-initiated, single-centre, randomised, two-arm clinical trial enrolling patients aged over 45 years and scheduled for elective laparoscopic radical colorectal surgery with at least one risk factor for MINS. A total of 950 eligible patients will be randomised into a routine or block groups. The primary outcome is the incidence of MINS. The secondary outcomes include the Visual Analogue Scale of pain during rest and movement, the incidence of delirium, quality of recovery (QOR) assessed by QOR-15, and sleep quality assessed by Richards Campbell Sleep Questionnaire. Tertiary outcomes include time to first flatus, gastrointestinal complications such as anastomotic leak or ileus, length of hospital stay, collapse incidence of severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications of myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke, and all-cause mortality within 30 days after the operation. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The protocol was approved by Medical Ethics Committee of the China-Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University (Approval number: 2021081018) prior to recruitment. The study will be performed according to the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki. The findings of this study will be published and presented through various scientific forums. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2200055319.

Postoperative pain occurs immediately after surgery. The most common perioperative analgesic methods are nerve block, patient-controlled intravenous analgesia, and patient-controlled epidural analgesia. However, overuse of opioid analgesics can cause many adverse reactions including excessive sedation, respiratory inhibition, postoperative nausea, and vomiting. In recent years, many clinical trials have shown that perioperative acupuncture has unique advantages in patients. Perioperative acupuncture can relieve intraoperative pain, improve postoperative pain management, reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting, and shorten the length of hospital stay. This study aimed to confirm the analgesic effect of perioperative acupuncture by reviewing studies on the different methods of perioperative acupuncture and their analgesic effects. The cited literature was searched in English and Chinese from PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang data, using the following keywords: "perioperative pain," "acupuncture," "electroacupuncture," and "perioperative analgesia." Studies published from 2005 to 2023 were included. All retrieved papers were read in detail. Perioperative acupuncture has benefits in reducing postoperative pain and opioid need. Although analgesic drugs are still the primary means of postoperative pain control, acupuncture provides a safe analgesic supplement or alternative. This review aimed to assist practitioners in choosing appropriate perioperative acupuncture methods by summarizing the recent literature on the role of different acupuncture approaches for perioperative pain management.

Background: To compare the effect of different amounts of fresh oxygen flow on oxygen reserve in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Methods: Seventy-two patients were enrolled in this quasi-experimental study. Patients were randomly divided into experimental groups with a fresh oxygen flow of 1 L/min, 2 L/min, 4 L/min, and 8 L/min (denoted as G1, G2, G3, and G4, respectively) for 2 min of mask-assisted ventilation. Safe apnea time (SAT) was the primary endpoint; SAT was defined as the time from the cessation of ventilation to the time the patient's pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) decreased to 90%. Ventilation indicators such as end-tidal oxygen concentration (EtO2), end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (EtCO2), SpO2, and carbon dioxide (CO2) elimination amount, during mask-assisted ventilation, were the secondary endpoints. Results: The SAT of G1, G2, G3, and G4 were 305.1 ± 97.0 s, 315 ± 112.5 s, 381.3 ± 118.6 s, and 359 ± 104.4 s, respectively (p > 0.05). The EtO2 after 2 min of mask-assisted ventilation in groups G1, G2, G3, and G4 were 69.7 ± 8.8%, 75.2 ± 5.0%, 82.5 ± 3.3%, and 86.8 ± 1.5%, respectively (p < 0.05). Also, there was a moderate positive correlation between the fresh oxygen flow and EtO2 (correlation coefficient r = 0.52, 95% CI 0.31-0.67, p < 0.0001). The CO2 elimination in the G1 and G2 groups was greater than that in the G4 group (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in other indicators among the groups (all p > 0.05). Conclusion: The amount of fresh oxygen flow during mask-assisted ventilation was positively correlated with EtO2. Also, even though there was no significant difference, the patients' oxygen reserves increased with the increase in fresh oxygen flow.
RESUMEN
Dynamically evolving adhesions between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) transmit time-varying signals that control cytoskeletal dynamics and cell fate. Dynamic cell adhesion and ECM stiffness regulate cellular mechanosensing cooperatively, but it has not previously been possible to characterize their individual effects because of challenges with controlling these factors independently. Therefore, a DNA-driven molecular system is developed wherein the integrin-binding ligand RGD can be reversibly presented and removed to achieve cyclic cell attachment/detachment on substrates of defined stiffness. Using this culture system, it is discovered that cyclic adhesion accelerates F-actin kinetics and nuclear mechanosensing in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), with the result that hysteresis can completely change how hMSCs transduce ECM stiffness. Results are dramatically different from well-known results for mechanotransduction on static substrates, but are consistent with a mathematical model of F-actin fragments retaining structure following loss of integrin ligation and participating in subsequent repolymerization. These findings suggest that cyclic integrin-mediated adhesion alters the mechanosensing of ECM stiffness by hMSCs through transient, hysteretic memory that is stored in F-actin.
