Purpose@#This study aims to investigate the current status of affiliate stigma among parents of autistic children, analyze the influencing factors, explore the relationship among mindfulness, coping styles, and affiliate stigma, and verify the mediating role of coping styles between mindfulness and affiliate stigma in parents of children with autism in China.MethodBetween February and April 2023, the Child Development Behaviour Centre of a public hospital in China recruited 345 parents of children with autism. These parents completed the general information questionnaire, the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, the Affiliate Stigma Scale, and the Simple Coping Style Questionnaire. We then adapted the Hayes Process Macro and Bootstrap methods to examine the mediating effects of coping styles between mindfulness and affiliate stigma. @*Results@#(1) The total affiliate stigma score of parents of children with autism was 48.53 (standard deviation:: 10.74). Parents' age, monthly family income, duration of care, mindfulness, and coping styles were the influencing factors of parental affiliate stigma. (2) Mindfulness was positively correlated with positive coping style (r = 0.33, p < .01) and negatively correlated with negative coping style, affiliate stigma (r = −0.38, −0.39, p < .01), whereas affiliate stigma was negatively correlated with positive coping style (r = −0.34, p < .01) and positively correlated with negative coping style (r = 0.41, p < .01). (3) Positive coping style and negative coping style play a parallel mediating role between mindfulness and affiliate stigma of parents of autistic children. @*Conclusions@#Parents of children with autism experience significant levels of affiliate stigma. Mindfulness has a direct impact on associated stigma in parents of children with autism and also indirectly predicts associated stigma through the intermediary influence of positive and negative coping styles. Healthcare professionals could perform mindfulness interventions from an optimistic psychology viewpoint to boost parents' mindfulness and coping abilities, thereby accomplishing the objective of mitigating affiliate stigma.

Objective@#To understand sexual and reproductive health knowledge, access to sexuality education and associated factors among secondary vocational school students in Shanghai Municipality and Shaanxi Province, so as to provide a scientific basis for conducting sexuality educaiton in vocational schools.@*Methods@#A crosssectional survey was conducted among 3 180 students in grades 1-3 selected by cluster sampling during April to June 2021 in six secondary vocational schools from three cities of Shanghai and Shaanxi (Shangluo, Ankang, Baoji). Participants were investigated through online questionnaire survey, inlcuding demographic characteristics, household information, sexual health at home and school, knowledge on sexual and reproductive health. Both t test and Chisquare test were used for group comparisons, and multivariate ordial Logistic regression was used to explore possible risk factors for sexual and reproductive health score in quartiles. @*Results@#Respondents average score was (51.36±21.61), with the highest score on sexual harassment/sexual abuse (66.45±42.27) and the lowest score on reproduction and physiology (47.67±31.94) and contraception (43.85±26.81). Although significant differences were observed between two study sites, the primary source of knowledge in both sites was schools/teachers, followed by the Internet or friends; the main theme of school sexuality education was puberty development and health care (more than 80%); the most frequently reported topic between respondents and their parents in both sites was interpersonal relationships (more than 55%), and there were significant differences in the reporting rates of secondary vocational school students between the two regions(χ2=28.56,32.02,P<0.05). The results of multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that residential area, gender, grade, registered residence, number of sexual related topics communicated with parents, number of subjects received from school sexuality education, and reported information sources from classmates/friends, books/magazines/newspapers, internet and communities were related to knowledge level of respondents (OR=1.62, 0.72, 1.20, 1.58, 2.09, 1.17, 1.18, 1.66, 1.62, 1.69, 1.22, P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#Vocational students of Shanghai and Shaanxi have poor sexual and reproductive health knowledge and limited access to school and family sexuality education. It is necessary to strengthen sexuality education for secondary vocational school students.

Objective To observe the effects of different concentration and intervention time of triptolide(TP)on ovarian oxidative stress and mitophagy in rats.Methods Fifty 3-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were observed for 2 consecutive estrus cycles,and 25 rats with normal estrus cycles were selected and divided into the blank control group,experiment group 1,experiment group 2,experiment group 3 and experiment group 4 according to random number table method,with 5 rats in each group.Rats in experiment group 1 were administered intragastrically 400 μg·kg-1 TP once a day for 30 d.Rats in experiment group 2 were given 400 μg·kg-1 TP once a day for 40 d.Rats in experiment group 3 were given 500 μg·kg-1 TP once a day for 30 d.Rats in the experiment group 4 were given 500 μg·kg-1 TP once a day for 40d.Rats in the blank control group were given 10 mL·kg-1 distilled water once a day for 40 d.Serum anti-mullerian hormone(AMH),estradiol(E2)and follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH)levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay;hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes of ovarian tissue;malondialdehyde(MDA)level and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity in ovarian tissue were detected by microplate reader.The morphological and structural changes of mitochondria in ovarian granulosa cells of rats in each group were observed by transmission electron microscope,and the apoptosis rate of ovarian granulosa cells was detected by flow cytometer.Results Compared with the blank control group,the levels of AMH and E2 in serum and SOD activity in ovarian tissue of rats in the experiment groups 1,2,3 and 4 significantly decreased,while the levels of FSH in serum and MDA in ovarian tissue significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with the experiment group 1,the levels of AMH and E2 in serum and SOD activity in ovarian tissue of rats in experiment groups 2,3 and 4 significantly decreased,while the levels of FSH in serum and MDA in ovarian tissue significantly increased(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the levels of AMH,E2 and FSH in serum,SOD activity and MDA level in ovarian tissue of rats among experiment groups 2,3 and 4(P>0.05).The apoptosis rate of ovarian granulosa cells in experiment groups 1,2,3 and 4 was significantly higher than that in the blank control group(P<0.05);the apoptosis rate of ovarian granulosa cells in experiment groups 2,3 and 4 was significantly higher than that in experiment group 1(P<0.05);the apoptosis rate of ovarian granulosa cells in experiment groups 3 and 4 was significantly higher than that in experiment group 2(P<0.05);the apoptosis rate of ovarian granulosa cells in experiment group 4 was significantly higher than that in experiment group 3(P<0.05).In the blank control group,the ovarian tissue capsule was intact,and the number and development of primordial,primary and secondary follicles in the cortex were normal,with rare atretic follicles and less corpus luteum.The fibrous connective tissue in the medullary area was closely arranged,and no obvious edema or necrosis was observed.In experiment groups 1,2,3 and 4,the number of follicles in ovarian tissue decreased,the number of atretic follicles increased,and necrosis and shedding of follicles in the granular layer and cystic dilatation of follicles were observed.The pathological changes of ovarian tissue in experiment group 1 were relatively light,with fewer atretic follicles and less cell necrosis in the granulosa cell layer.The degree of ovarian tissue lesions in experiment group 4 was the most severe,with more atretic follicles and cell necrosis and shedding in the granulosa cell layer.The degree of ovarian tissue lesions in experiment groups 2 and 3 was less than that in experiment group 4,with fewer atretic follicles,necrosis of granulosa cell layer and follicle cystic dilatation.In the blank control group,the ovarian granulosa cells were normal in morphology and structure,with irregular polygon nuclei,uniform distribution of chromatin,mainly euchromatin,clear and complete nuclear membrane,mitochondria and other organelles with complete and clear structure visible in the cytoplasm.Different degrees of mitophagy were observed in the cytoplasm of granulosa cells of rats in experiment groups 1,2,3 and 4;the mitophagy of rats in experiment groups 2,3 and 4 was more severe than that in experiment group 1;that in experiment groups 3 and 4 was more severe than experiment group 2;the mitophagy of rats in experiment group 3 was similar to that in experiment group 4.Under electron microscopy,more mitochondrial autophagosomes were found in the cytoplasm of ovarian granulosa cells in experiment groups 3 and 4.Most mitochondria were mildly swollen,some mitochondrial crista structures disappeared,and the rough endoplasmic reticulum showed cystic dilatation.Conclusion The ovarian dysfunc-tion model in rats can be successfully established by TP intragastric administration.The ovarian injury of rats is related to TP dose and intervention time.TP-induced ovarian oxidative stress may be an important factor triggering ovarian hypofunction,and it may work through oxidative stress affecting ovarian endocrine function and inducing granulosa cell apoptosis and other patho-physiological processes.With the aggravation of oxidative stress damage,the mitophagy increases.After reaching a certain de-gree,mitophagy will not continue to increase with the increase of TP intervention time.

Purpose: XinJiaCongRongTuSiZiWan (XJCRTSZW) is a traditional Chinese medicine compound for invigorating the kidney, nourishing blood, and promoting blood circulation. This study aimed to explore the effect of XJCRTSZW on triptolide (TP)-induced oxidative stress injury. Methods: Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats and human ovarian granulosa cell lines were treated with TP and XJCRTSZW. Hematoxylin and eosin staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry, CCK-8, JC-1 staining, transmission electron microscopy, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and Western blotting were performed in this study. Results: XJCRTSZW treatment observably ameliorated the TP-induced pathological symptoms. Furthermore, XJCRTSZW treatment observably enhanced the TP-induced reduction of estradiol, anti-Mullerian hormone, progesterone, superoxide dismutase, ATP content, mitochondrial membrane potential, p62, and Hsp60 mRNA, and protein levels in vivo and in vitro (p < 0.05). However, TP-induced elevation of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone concentrations, malondialdehyde levels, reactive oxygen species levels, apoptosis rate, mitophagy, and the mRNA and protein expressions of LC3-II/LC3-I, PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), and Parkin were decreased (p < 0.05). In addition, XJCRTSZW treatment markedly increased cell viability in vitro (p < 0.05). Conclusions: XJCRTSZW protects TP-induced rats from oxidative stress injury via the mitophagy-mediated PINK1/Parkin pathway.

This study aimed to provide scientific evidence for predicting quality markers(Q-markers) of Elephantopus scaber by establishing UPLC fingerprint of E. scaber from different geographical origins and determining the content of 13 major components, as well as conducting in vitro anti-cancer activity investigation of the main components. The chromatographic column used was Waters CORTECS UPLC C_(18)(2.1 mm×150 mm, 1.6 μm), and the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid solution(gradient elution). The column temperature was set at 30 ℃, and the flow rate was 0.2 mL·min~(-1). The injection volume was 1 μL, and the detection wavelength was 240 nm. The UPLC fingerprint of E. scaber was fitted using the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine(2012 edition) to determine common peaks, evaluate similarity, identify and determine the content of major components. The CCK-8 assay was used to explore the inhibitory effect of the main components on the proliferation of lung cancer cells. The results showed that in the established UPLC fingerprint of E. scaber, 35 common peaks were identified. Thirteen major components, including neochlorogenic acid(peak 1), chlorogenic acid(peak 2), cryptochlorogenic acid(peak 3), caffeic acid(peak 4), schaftoside(peak 6), galuteolin(peak 9), isochlorogenic acid B(peak 10), isochlorogenic acid A(peak 12), isochlorogenic acid C(peak 18), deoxyelephantopin(peak 28), isodeoxyelephantopin(peak 29), isoscabertopin(peak 31), and scabertopin(peak 32) were identified and quantified, and a quantitative analysis method was established. The results of the in vitro anti-cancer activity study showed that deoxyelephantopin, isodeoxyelephantopin, isoscabertopin, and scabertopin in E. scaber exhibited inhibition rates of lung cancer cell proliferation exceeding 80% at a concentration of 10 μmol·L~(-1), higher than the positive drug paclitaxel. These results indicate that the fingerprint of E. scaber is highly characteristic, and the quantitative analysis method is accurate and stable, providing references for the research on quality standards of E. scaber. Four sesquiterpene lactones in E. scaber show significant anti-cancer activity and can serve as Q-markers for E. scaber.

BACKGROUND@#The effect of arteriosclerotic intracranial arterial vessel wall enhancement (IAVWE) on downstream collateral flow found in vessel wall imaging (VWI) is not clear. Regardless of the mechanism underlying IAVWE on VWI, damage to the patient's nervous system caused by IAVWE is likely achieved by affecting downstream cerebral blood flow. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of arteriosclerotic IAVWE on downstream collateral flow.@*METHODS@#The present study recruited 63 consecutive patients at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2021 to November 2021 with underlying atherosclerotic diseases and unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) M1-segment stenosis who underwent an magnetic resonance scan within 3 days of symptom onset. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to IAVWE and the stenosis ratio (Group 1, n = 17; Group 2, n = 19; Group 3, n = 13; Group 4, n = 14), and downstream collateral flow was analyzed using three-dimensional pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling (3D-pCASL) and RAPID software. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores of the patients were also recorded. Two-factor multivariate analysis of variance using Pillai's trace was used as the main statistical method.@*RESULTS@#No statistically significant difference was found in baseline demographic characteristics among the groups. IAVWE, but not the stenosis ratio, had a statistically significant significance on the late-arriving retrograde flow proportion (LARFP), hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR), and NIHSS scores ( F = 20.941, P <0.001, Pillai's trace statistic = 0.567). The between-subject effects test showed that IAVWE had a significant effect on the three dependent variables: LARFP ( R2 = 0.088, F = 10.899, P = 0.002), HIR ( R2 = 0.234, F = 29.354, P <0.001), and NIHSS ( R2 = 114.339, F = 33.338, P <0.001).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Arteriosclerotic IAVWE significantly reduced downstream collateral flow and affected relevant neurological deficits. It was an independent factor affecting downstream collateral flow and NIHSS scores, which should be a focus of future studies.@*TRIAL REGISTRATION@#ChiCTR.org.cn, ChiCTR2100053661.

Lipid metabolism is a complex physiological process, which is closely related to nutrient regulation, hormone balance and endocrine function. It involves the interactions of multiple factors and signal transduction pathways. Lipid metabolism disorder is one of the main mechanisms to induce a variety of diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinoma and their complications. At present, more and more studies have found that the "dynamic modification" of N6-adenylate methylation (m6A) on RNA represents a new "post-transcriptional" regulation mode. m6A methylation modification can occur in mRNA, tRNA, ncRNA, etc. Its abnormal modification can regulate gene expression changes and alternative splicing events. Many latest references have reported that m6A RNA modification is involved in the epigenetic regulation of lipid metabolism disorder. Based on the major diseases induced by lipid metabolism disorders, we reviewed the regulatory roles of m6A modification in the occurrence and development of those diseases. These overall findings inform further in-depth investigations of the underlying molecular mechanisms regarding the pathogenesis of lipid metabolism disorders from the perspective of epigenetics, and provide reference for health prevention, molecular diagnosis and treatment of related diseases.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of high-dose dual therapy compared with bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for treating Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) infection in servicemen patients. Methods: A total of 160 H. pylori-infected, treatment-naive servicemen, including 74 men and 86 women, aged from 20 years to 74 years, with a mean (SD) age of 43 (13) years, tested in the First Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from March 2022 to May 2022 were enrolled in this open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups: the 14-day high-dose dual therapy group and the bismuth-containing quadruple therapy group. Eradication rates, adverse events, patient compliance, and drug costs were compared between the two groups. The t-test was used for continuous variables, and the Chi-square test for categorical variables. Results: No significant difference in H. pylori eradication rates were found between high-dose dual therapy and bismuth-containing quadruple therapy by ITT, mITT and PP analysis[ITT:90.0% (95%CI 81.2%-95.6%) vs. 87.5% (95%CI 78.2%-93.8%), χ2=0.25, P=0.617;mITT:93.5% (95%CI 85.5%-97.9%) vs. 93.3% (95%CI 85.1%-97.8%), χ2<0.01, P=1.000; PP: 93.5% (95%CI 85.5%-97.9%) vs. 94.5% (95%CI 86.6%-98.5%), χ2<0.01, P=1.000 ]. The dual therapy group exhibited significantly less overall side effects compared with the quadruple therapy group [21.8% (17/78) vs. 38.5% (30/78), χ2=5.15,P=0.023]. There were no significant differences in the compliance rates between the two groups [98.7%(77/78) vs. 94.9%(74/78), χ2=0.83,P=0.363]. The cost of medications in the dual therapy was 32.0% lower compared with that in the quadruple therapy (472.10 RMB vs. 693.94 RMB). Conclusions: The dual regimen has a favorable effect on the eradication of H. pylori infection in servicemen patients. Based on the ITT analysis, the eradication rate of the dual regimen is grade B (90%, good). Additionally, it exhibited a lower incidence of adverse events, better compliance and significantly reduced cost. The dual regimen is expected to be a new choice for the first-line treatment of H. pylori infection in servicemen but needs further evaluation.

This study explored the protective effect of atractylenolide Ⅰ(AO-Ⅰ) against acetaminophen(APAP)-induced acute liver injury(ALI) in mice and its underlying mechanism. C57 BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into a control group, an APAP group(500 mg·kg~(-1)), a low-dose combination group(500 mg·kg~(-1) APAP + 60 mg·kg~(-1) AO-Ⅰ), and a high-dose combination group(500 mg·kg~(-1) APAP + 120 mg·kg~(-1) AO-Ⅰ). ALI was induced by intraperitoneal injection of APAP(500 mg·kg~(-1)). AO-Ⅰ by intragastric administration was performed 2 hours before APAP treatment, and the control group received the same dose of solvent by intragastric administration or intraperitoneal injection. The protective effect of AO-Ⅰ against APAP-induced ALI was evaluated by detecting alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase(AST) levels in the plasma and H&E staining in liver tissues of mice. The malondialdehyde(MDA) and glutathione(GSH) content and catalase(CAT) activity in mouse liver tissues were detected to evaluate the effect of AO-Ⅰ on APAP-induced oxidative stress in the liver. The proteins in the liver p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38 MAPK), c-jun N-terminal kinase(JNK), and nuclear factor kappa-B p65(NF-κB p65) signaling pathways were measured by Western blot, and the liver inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β(IL-1β) and interleukin-6(IL-6) were detected by real-time PCR. Compared with the APAP group, the combination groups showed reduced APAP-induced ALT level and liver MDA content, potentiated liver CAT activity, and elevated GSH content. Mechanistically, AO-Ⅰ treatment significantly inhibited APAP-up-regulated MAPK phosphorylation and NF-κB p65, and significantly reduced the transcriptional activities of IL-1β and IL-6, downstream targets of NF-κB p65. AO-Ⅰ can improve APAP-induced ALI and the underlying mechanism is related to the inhibition of the MAPK/NF-κB p65 signaling pathway in APAP-challenged mice.

Objective: To analyze the trend of child and adolescent mortality rate in China from 2004 to 2018 and explore the possible policy effects. Methods: This study used the mortality data of child and adolescent aged 5 to 19 years from 2004 to 2018 based on the National Disease Surveillance System. Age-standardized mortality rate was calculated by using the population from the sixth national census. Joinpoint regression was used to analyze the trend of child and adolescent mortality with different features from 2004 to 2018. Results: From 2004 to 2018, the overall mortality rate of children and adolescents in China dropped from 40.02 per 100 000 to 22.00 per 100 000, and the average annual percentage change (AAPC) was -4.28 (95%CI:-5.35,-3.20,P<0.001). The mortality rate dropped rapidly from 2004 to 2006, and the annual percentage change (APC) was -9.20 (95%CI:-15.63,-2.28,P=0.017). The decline rate slowed down between 2006 and 2013, and the APC was -1.56 (95%CI:-2.78,-0.33,P=0.020). The downward trend accelerated from 2013 to 2018, and the APC was -5.99 (95%CI:-7.52,-4.43,P<0.001). The trend of child mortality rate in rural area, females, eastern provinces of China, children aged 10 to 14 years, children aged 15 to 19 years, and injury mortality rate were basically consistent with the overall trend. The child mortality rate in urban area, central provinces of China and the mortality rate of infectious diseases, maternal and infant, and nutritional deficiencies diseases showed a uniform downward trend from 2004 to 2018, with AAPC values about -3.59 (95%CI:-4.38,-2.78,P<0.001), -2.89 (95%CI:-3.24,-2.54,P<0.001) and -6.66 (95%CI:-7.64,-5.68,P<0.001), respectively.

OBJECTIVES@#After renal transplantation, patients need to take various immunosuppressant, but the drug compliance is poor. The theory of planned behavior suggests that the past medication behavior and subjective norms of individuals are closely related to medication compliance. This study aims to explore the change of medication compliance behavior and its influenting factors for renal transplantation patients at different stages.@*METHODS@#This study was a prospective longitudinal study. The Basel Assessment of Adherence with Immunosuppressive Medication Scale (BAASIS), Medication Belief Scale, Social Support Scale and Quality of Life Scale were used to dynamically follow up renal transplantation patients at pre-operation and 1-month, 6-month, and 12-month after transplantation.@*RESULTS@#A total of 300 patients completed the whole follow-up. The percentage of patients with good medication compliance was 97.60%, 87.30% and 84.30% at 1-month, 6-month and 12-month after transplantation respectively. The life quality of the patients was decreased at 6 months after the operation, and the patients with better self-reported life quality had poor medication compliance. After adjusting for demographic data, the risk of medication incompliance in patients with poor medication compliance before operation was 37.646 times than those with good compliance. Patients who did not use medication reminders had high risk (odds ratio=2.467) of drug non-adherence. The risk of drug non-adherence in patients with more postoperative misgivings was 1.265 times compared with that in patients with less postoperative misgivings.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The medication compliance decreases with the time of transplantation, but the medication compliance of patients with good self-reported life quality is poor. Medication concerns reduce the compliance behavior. Preoperative medication behavior has a significant predictive effect on postoperative behavior. Medication reminder is a protective factor for promoting compliance. Medical staff should pay more attention to preoperative medication belief, behaviors and reminder of using drug so as to provide precise intervention in the renal transplantation patients.

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effect and possible mechanism of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) on T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), and provide experimental and theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of T-ALL.@*METHODS@#Jurkat cells were treated with different concentrations of DMF for 24 hours, and then the proportion and absolute count of Ki67-positive Jurkat cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Meanwhile, the protein levels of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and E3 ubiquitin ligase HACE1 in Jurkat cells treated with DMF for 24 hours were evaluated by Western blot. Nrf2 proteins were co-immunoprecipitated in Jurkat cells, and then HACE1 protein was assessed by Western blot. Plasmids of Flag-Nrf2 and different gradients of Flag-HACE1 were transfected into HEK293T cells, and the levels of Flag-Nrf2 were detected by Western blot after 48 hours.@*RESULTS@#DMF could significantly inhibit the proportion and absolute count of Ki67-positive Jurkat cells, and DMF inhibited the proliferation of Jurkat cells in a dose-dependent manner (r=0.9595, r=0.9054). DMF could significantly up-regulate the protein levels of Nrf2 and E3 ubiquitin ligase HACE1 in Jurkat cells (P<0.01, P<0.01). HACE1 physically interacted with Nrf2 in Jurkat cells. Overexpression of Flag-HACE1 significantly increased the protein level of Flag-Nrf2 in a dose-dependent manner (r=0.9771).@*CONCLUSION@#DMF inhibits the proliferation of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell. The mechanism may be that, DMF significantly up-regulates the protein levels of Nrf2 and E3 ubiquitin ligase HACE1, and HACE1 interacts with Nrf2 and positively regulates Nrf2 protein level.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory effects of microRNA-23b-3p (miR-23b-3p) on the autophagy and apoptosis of human lens epithelial cells induced by high glucose.Methods:Thirty diabetic cataract (DC) patients as DC group and 30 patients with simple cataract as simple cataract group were enrolled in The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Medical University from September 2019 to October 2020.Conventional phacoemulsification and intraocular lens transplantation were performed in both groups.The anterior capsular tissue was collected during the operation.The expression of miR-23b-3p in the anterior lens capsule was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Human lens epithelial cell line HLEB3 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into normal control group and high-glucose group, which were cultured in normal and high-glucose medium, respectively.The targeting relationship between proto-cadherin 17 (PCDH17) and miR-23b-3p was predicted according to the bioinformatics database, and was verified by the dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment.High glucose-cultured HLEB3 cells were divided into miR-23b-3p mimics group, negative control (NC) mimics group, NC-siRNA group, PCDH17-siRNA group, miR-23b-3p mimics+ Vector group, miR-23b-3p mimics+ pcDNA-PCDH17 group, and were transfected with corresponding reagents according to grouping.The expression of miR-23b-3p and PCDH17 mRNA was detected by RT-qPCR.The expressions of a mammalian homolog of yeast Atg6/Vps30 (Beclin-1), microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3B), c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK), phosphorylated (p-) JNK, c-Jun, p-c-Jun, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) proteins were assayed by Western blot.The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Medical College (No.LSL2019037). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient. Results:The relative expression of miR-23b-3p in the anterior lens capsule of DC group was 0.35±0.15, which was significantly lower than 1.00±0.09 of simple cataract group ( t=44.627, P<0.01). There were significant differences in the relative expression levels of miR-23b-3p, LC3B Ⅱ/Ⅰ, Beclin-1, Bcl-2 and Bax proteins among normal control group, high glucose group, high glucose+ NC mimics group and high glucose+ miR-23b-3p mimics group ( F=21.325, 28.318, 17.634, 15.482, 22.325, 26.537; all at P<0.01). Compared with normal control group, the apoptosis rate, LC3B Ⅱ/Ⅰ, Beclin-1 and Bax protein expressions in high glucose group were significantly increased, and the Bcl-2 protein expression was significantly decreased (all at P<0.05). Compared with NC mimics group, the apoptosis rate, LC3B Ⅱ/Ⅰ, Beclin-1, and Bax protein expressions were significantly decreased and the Bcl-2 protein expression was significantly increased in miR-23b-3p mimics group (all at P<0.05). The results of bioinformatics and dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments showed that PCDH17 was a target gene of miR-23b-3p, and the relative expression of PCDH17 mRNA in miR-23b-3p mimics group was significantly lower than that in NC mimics group ( P<0.05). Compared with NC-siRNA group, the apoptosis rate, LC3B Ⅱ/Ⅰ, Beclin-1 and Bax protein expressions in PCDH17-siRNA group were significantly decreased, and the Bcl-2 protein expression was significantly increased ( t=9.116, 12.413, 5.349, 3.273, 8.419; all at P<0.01). There were significant differences in the relative expression levels of p-JNK/JNK, p-c-Jun/c-Jun, LC3B Ⅱ/Ⅰ, Beclin-1, Bcl-2 and Bax proteins in NC mimics group, miR-23b-3p mimics group, miR-23b-3p mimics+ Vector group and miR-23b-3p mimics+ pcDNA-PCDH17 group ( F=24.724, 19.319, 23.418, 17.562, 20.263, 15.249; all at P<0.05). Compared with the miR-23b-3p mimics+ Vector group, the expressions of p-JNK/JNK, p-c-Jun/c-Jun, LC3B Ⅱ/Ⅰ, Beclin-1 and Bax were significantly increased, and the expression of Bcl-2 protein was decreased in miR-23b-3p mimics+ pcDNA-PCDH17 group (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:MiR-23b-3p have a protective effect on HLEB3 cells in a high-glucose environment, mainly by targeting PCDH17 to regulate the JNK signaling pathway to inhibit high glucose-induced autophagy and apoptosis.

Objective:To explore the intervention effects of an Internet-based blood pressure monitoring and management platform in a prehypertensive population.Methods:One hundred and fifty-eight prehypertensive patients who were examined at the Third Xiangya Hospital in Changsha, China, from August to December 2019 were randomly divided into either the experimental or control groups using the random number table method. The experimental group utilized an Internet-based blood pressure monitoring and management platform, whereas the control group utilized regular telephone and SMS health management routines. The intervention duration was 12 months for both groups. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-tests, chi-square tests, χ 2 tests, and rank-sum tests. Results:Post intervention systolic blood pressure (124.79±9.71 mmHg) (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and diastolic blood pressure measurements (77.41±8.21 mmHg) of the participants in the experimental group were significantly lower than those before the intervention (128.29±5.10 mmHg and 79.99±6.01 mmHg, respectively), and significantly lower than those of the control group′s measurements after the intervention (130.00±7.78 mmHg and 80.33±7.90 mmHg, respectively) (all P<0.05). The blood pressure goal attainment rate was significantly higher in the experimental group (23.08%) than that of the control group (8.75%), with statistically significant differences within the experimental group before and after intervention, as well as between the groups post intervention ( P<0.05). Positive lifestyle changes, such as prehypertension knowledge score, active restriction and control of salt and oil intake, reduction of smoking, and exercising weekly, were significantly higher than those in the control group before the intervention (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The use of an Internet-based blood pressure monitoring and management platform can effectively help patients with prehypertension control their blood pressure levels, improve their knowledge about the condition, and improve their lifestyle choices.

OBJECTIVES@#To analyze the cost-effectiveness of the Morse Fall Scale by clinical big data for nurses in the prevention of falls in hospitalized patients.@*METHODS@#A total of 59 358 hospitalized patients, who came from the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in 1 year before nurses were trained by the Morse Fall Scale, served as a control, including 26 862 males and 32 496 females. While the 66 203 hospitalized patients served as an observation group in 1 year after nurses were trained by the Morse Fall Scale, including 29 881 males and 36 322 females. The time spent by clinical nurses in the fall-risk assessment and the fall number were recorded in the 2 groups, and the relationship was analyzed between the Morse Fall Scale assessment and the clinical ending along with the labor cost of nursing. The cost-effectiveness was analyzed. In addition, the incidence of fall in the observation group was compared between the falling high-risk patients and the non-high-risk patients.@*RESULTS@#The Morse Fall Scale showed that the incidences of fall in the observation group and the control group were 3.39/100 000 and 3.82/100 000,respectively, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups (@*CONCLUSIONS@#The evaluation of the Morse Fall Scale has a certain effect, but it is limited in the prevention of falls in adult hospitalized patients, and the cost-effectiveness analysis is not good. It is recommended to implement the intervention measures for high-risk patients after the assessment, which may improve the management level and efficiency of fall prevention.
