Background The benchmark dose (BMD) method calculates the dose associated with a specific change in response based on a specific dose-response relationship. Compared with the traditional no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) method, the BMD method has many advantages, and the 95% lower confidence limit of benchmark dose lower limit (BMDL) is recommended to replace NOAEL in deriving biological exposure limits. No authority has yet published any health-based guideline for rare earth elements. Objective To evaluate genotoxicity threshold induced by acute exposure to neodymium nitrate in mice using BMD modeling through micronucleus test and comet assay. Methods SPF grade mice (n=90) were randomly divided into nine groups, including seven neodymium nitrate exposure groups, one control group (distilled water), and one positive control group (200 mg·kg−1 ethyl methanesulfonate), 10 mice in each group, half male and half female. The seven dose groups were fed by gavage with different concentrations of neodymium nitrate solution (male: 14, 27, 39, 55, 77, 109, and 219 mg·kg−1; female: 24, 49, 69, 97, 138, 195, and 389 mg·kg−1) twice at an interval of 21 h. Three hours after the last exposure, the animals were neutralized by cervical dislocation. The bone marrow of mice femur was taken to calculate the micronucleus rate of bone marrow cells, and the liver and stomach were taken for comet test. Results The best fitting models for the increase of polychromatophil micronucleus rate in bone marrow of female and male mice induced by neodymium nitrate were the exponential 4 model and the hill model, respectively. The BMD and the BMDL of female mice were calculated to be 31.37 mg·kg−1 and 21.90 mg·kg−1, and those of male mice were calculated to be 58.62 mg·kg−1 and 54.31 mg·kg−1, respectively. The best fitting models for DNA damage induced by neodymium nitrate in female and male mouse hepatocytes were the exponential 5 model and the exponential 4 model, respectively, and the calculated BMD and BMDL were 27.15 mg·kg−1 and 11.99 mg·kg−1 for female mice, and 16.28 mg·kg−1 and 10.47 mg·kg−1 for male mice, respectively. The hill model was the best fitting model for DNA damage of gastric adenocytes in both female and male mice, and the calculated BMD and BMDL were 36.73 mg·kg−1 and 19.92 mg·kg−1 for female mice, and 24.74 mg·kg−1 and 14.08 mg·kg−1 for male mice, respectively. Conclusion Taken the micronucleus rate of bone marrow cells, DNA damage of liver cells and gastric gland cells as the end points of genotoxicity, the BMDL of neodymium nitrate is 10.47 mg·kg−1, which can be used as the threshold of genotoxic effects induced by acute exposure to neodymium nitrate in mice.

Ceruloplasmin(Cp)is a crucial protein secreted by the liver and plays a vital role in regulating the distribution and transport of copper throughout the body,thereby maintaining copper homeostasis.Additionally,Cp functions as a significant enzyme known as ferroxidase,which is involved in iron metabolism within the body.Numerous studies have suggested a close relationship between Cp and metabolic disorders,such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.Recent research has also shed light on the involvement of Cp in the regulation of lipid metabolism.The various activities associated with lipid metabolism,including lipid synthesis,adipose hydrolysis,fatty acid oxidation,lipid transport,and absorption,collectively contribute to maintaining lipid homeostasis.Dysregulation of lipid metabolism can lead to metabolic disorders and cardiovascular complications.Cp regulates lipid metabolism through two main mechanisms.Firstly,Cp participates in the regulation of oxidative stress by modulating iron metabolism through its ferroxidase activity and involvement in redox reaction.Secondly,copper along with copper-dependent enzymes directly participates in the processes such as cholesterol metabolism,lipoprotein metabolism,and fatty acid synthesis.As a result,the role of Cp in maintaining the homeostasis of copper and iron allows it to regulate lipid metabolism by influencing copper or iron-dependent enzymes and related pathways.Although the correlation between Cp and lipid metabolism has been identified,an in-depth exploration of the precise mechanisms by which Cp governs lipid metabolism is warranted.This article provides an overview of the role of Cp in lipid metabolism and highlights the progress in related research,with the aim of providing new insights for the development and treatment of disorders related to lipid metabolism.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels and white matter high signal and non-dementia vascular cognitive dysfunction in patients with cerebral small vascular disease (CSVD).Methods:Total 106 patients with CSVD who were admitted to the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College from April 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled.They were divided into vascular cognitive impairment no dementia group (VCIND group, n=47) and no vascular cognitive impairment group (N-VCI group, n=59)according to mini-mental assessment scale (MMSE), Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) scale and activity of daily living scale (ADL). Serum VEGF levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The baseline data, serum VEGF levels, MoCA score and Fazekas score were compared between the two groups.The correlation between serum VEGF level and white matter high signal and cognitive function was analyzed.SPSS 19.0 software was used for data processing.The statistical methods were t-test, Chi square test, nonparametric test, Logistic regression analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and Spearman correlation analysis. Results:There were significant differences in serum VEGF level((464.18±114.58)pg/mL, (414.17±45.80)pg/mL, F=22.880), MoCA score((13.07±6.48), (20.17±4.06), F=17.920) and Fazekas score (4(3, 5), 3(1, 3), Z=-4.189)between the two groups (all P<0.05). The level of VEGF( β=0.008, OR=1.008, 95% CI=1.001-1.015, P<0.05) was the influencing factor of cognitive function in patients with CSVD .The level of VEGF was negatively correlated with the total score of MoCA, attention and calculation power, and orientation ability ( r=-0.345, -0.373, -0.445, all P<0.05) and it was positively correlated with the total Fazekas score and the Fazekas score of paraventricular and deep white matter ( r=0.392, 0.495, 0.302, all P<0.05). There was a linear trend between the high signal grade of paraventricular and deep white matter and VCIND (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Serum VEGF level is correlated with cognitive function and white matter hyperintensity in patients with CSVD.The increase of VEGF level may be a factor reflecting cognitive dysfunction.In addition, with the increase of white matter hyperintensity level, the risk of VCIND in CSVD is increased.

Objective:To explore the application value of humidifying high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HHFNC) in children with pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) after weaning.Methods:From January 2018 to October 2021, 42 children with endotracheal intubation admitted to PICU of Tai′an city Central Hospital were prospectively selected and randomly divided into HHFNC group and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) group, with 21 patients in each group. The blood gas analysis [arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide in artery (PaCO 2), PaO 2/oxygen concentration (FiO 2)], blood oxygen saturation (SaO 2), comfort, non-invasive ventilation time, and total hospital stay of the two groups of children 1 hour after using HHFNC and NCPAP were compared, and the rate of reintubation of trachea within 48 hours, gastroesophageal reflux, nasal injury, facial skin indentation, abdominal distension, and pulmonary air leakage were recorded. Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of blood gas analysis (PaO 2, PaCO 2, PaO 2/FiO 2), SaO 2, pulmonary air leakage, non-invasive ventilation time, hospital stay, and reintubation rate within 48 h after weaning (all P>0.05). Compared with NCPAP group, HHFNC group had higher comfort, lower incidence of facial skin indentation, gastroesophageal reflux, nasal injury and abdominal distension, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:HHFNC and NCPAP can both be used as the transitional respiratory support mode after weaning, and the clinical treatment effect are similar. The HHFNC group has higher comfort, which is more conducive to improving the tolerance of children, reducing adverse reactions, and has higher safety.

Objective:To investigate the effect of combined treatment of hyperforin(HPF) and amlexanox(AM) on obesity and metabolic disorders.Methods:ob/ob mice were used as an obese mice model and treated with HPF alone(2.5 mg/kg intraperitoneal injection) or combined with AM(50 mg/kg, gavage administration) for 4 weeks. Their body weight and food intake were monitored, glucose tolerance test and insulin tolerance test were performed, serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase(AST) levels were detected. Nuclear magnetic resonance was used to detect the body composition and metabolic cage was used to detect the energy consumption. After sampling, HE staining was used to observed the pathological change of fat and liver tissues, Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) were used to detect the cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)-protein kinase A(PKA) signaling pathway.Results:Compared to the vehicle-treated mice(54.07 g), HPF-treated mice showed attenuated body weight gain(51.33 g, P=0.042) and reduced total fat mass( P=0.011); while administration of HPF in combination with AM(HPF/AM) further reduced the body weight(47.61 g, P=0.041). HE staining analysis showed that HPF alone or HPF/AM treatment both decreased the diameters of adipocytes and infiltration of white fat( P=0.014, P=0.032) in brown adipose tissues, which resulted in a trend of browning. However, HPF/AM-treatment didn′t further diminish adipocytes or reduce lipid accumulation in brown adipose tissues compared to HPF-treated mice. In addition, the basal oxygen consumption rate(VO 2, P<0.001) and(VCO 2, P=0.002) of HPF-treated mice were mainly elevated in the light phase relative to that of control mice; while HPF/AM-treatment further promote the energy consumption both in the dark phase and light phase. Notably, cAMP-PKA signaling pathway was obviously activated under HPF/AM-treatment in inguinal white adipose tissue. Moreover, HPF/AM-treatment showed beneficial effects on glucose metabolism and fatty liver, as indicated by improved insulin resistance, reduced liver steatosis( P=0.049) and the serum ALT levels( P=0.008). Conclusion:Combined administration of HPF and AM is an effective strategy in the treatment of obesity, improvement of metabolic disorders and alleviation of catecholamine resistance.

The clinical data and biochemical indicators of the two groups were collected. Serum MMP-9 levels were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). According to susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), CMBs patients were divided into grade 1 group ( n=24), grade 2 group ( n=19) and grade 3 group ( n=17), and according to the micro analytical rating scale (MARS), the CMBs patients were divided into the lobar group ( n=19), the deep or infratentorial group ( n=17) and the mixed group ( n=24).The relationship between serum MMP-9 level and the location and severity of CMBs was analyzed. SPSS 19.0 software was used for data statistical analysis.One-way ANOVA, t-test and rank sum test were used for comparison. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. Pearson correlation analysis and Spearman correlation analysis were used for correlation analysis. Results:The level of MMP-9 in CMBs group was significantly higher than that in control group (208.13(142.25, 285.88) μg/L, 149.50(93.40, 186.51)μg/L), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Serum MMP-9 level was a risk factor of CMBs ( β=1.322, OR=3.750, 95% CI=2.038-7.997, P=0.002). The difference of level of MMP-9 in different severity of CMBs was statistically significant (147.55(109.25, 266.47)μg/L, 242.12(147.55, 288.80)μg/L, 270.42(203.43, 364.27)μg/L, P=0.017). Serum MMP-9 level was positively correlated with the number of CMBs ( r=0.371, P=0.003). The difference of MMP-9 level of CMBs in different locations were statistically significant (249.77(158.43, 338.46)μg/L, 188.83(138.52, 243.15)μg/L, 210.65(144.25, 255.78)μg/L, P=0.013). The increased serum MMP-9 level was a risk factor for CMBs( β=0.401, OR=1.122, 95% CI=1.004-1.204, P=0.036). Conclusion:The increased level of serum MMP-9 may be a risk factor of CMBs, especially for CMBs in cerebral lobesand, and the level of MMP-9 is positively correlated with the severity of CMBs.

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a newly emerging enteropathogenic swine coronavirus causing acute diarrhea and vomiting in pigs. The apoptosis of ST cells induced by PDCoV infection was studied in this research. In ST cells, caspase activity assay showed that the activity of caspase 3, caspase 8 and caspase 9 increased significantly with the infection of PDCoV, but not observed in UV irradiated PDCoV-infected cells, indicating that PDCoV infection activated both endogenous and exogenous apoptotic pathways in ST cells, and the induction of apoptosis depended on viral replication. To further investigate the endogenous apoptosis induced by PDCoV, cytochrome C and apoptosis-inducing factors in cytoplasm and mitochondria were detected. Compared with normal cells, the amount of cytochrome C released from mitochondria to cytoplasm increased significantly in PDCoV-infected cells, and the release increased with the prolongation of infection, while the apoptosis-inducing factor was always localized to mitochondria, suggesting that PDCoV induced apoptosis was initiated through caspase-dependent mitochondrial apoptosis pathway by promoting cytochrome C in the mitochondrial membrane gap into the cytosol. In conclusion, this study reveals the mechanism of PDCoV inducing apoptosis.

Objective To explore the effect of dose rate of X-rays on migration of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and provide the experimental basis for developing radiotherapy scheme. Methods Human NSCLC cell line A549 was cultured and irradiated with X-rays at dose of 6 Gy from a linear accelerator. The dose rates of 1, 2, 4 and 6 Gy/min were selected. Monolayer adherent cells were scratched and photographed at 0 hour and 24 hours under a microscope to measure the scratch width. Results After 24 hours, the scratch width of nonirradiated control cells was (640.7±8.1)μm. The scratch widths of cells were different when cells were irradiated with X-rays of various dose rates. Scratch widths were the largest in cells irradiated at dose rates of 1 Gy/min [(691.4±7.6)μm] and 6 Gy/min [(691.8±12.1)μm]. The scratch width was (666.2±1.3) μm of X-rays at 4 Gy/min, and there were significant differences compared with nonirradiated group (all P< 0.01), which suggested that inhibitory effect of X-rays at dose rates on A549 cell migration was obvious. However, the scratch width of cells irradiated at 2 Gy/min [(643.5 ±6.8) μm] had no difference compared with the control cells (t=-0.336, P=0.742). Conclusions The effect of X-rays irradiation on cell migration of human NSCLC cell line A549 is related with irradiated dose rate. The effect of different dose rates on cell migration is significantly different. Selecting appropriate dose rates for irradiation may help to improve the efficacy of radiotherapy.
