RESUMEN
Globally, the incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasing year by year, causing a huge economic and social burden, and their pathogenesis and aetiology have been proven to have a certain correlation. In recent years, more and more studies have shown that vacuolar adenosine triphosphatases (v-ATPases) in eukaryotes, which are biomolecules regulating lysosomal acidification and glycolipid metabolism, play a key role in DM and AD. This article describes the role of v-ATPase in DM and AD, including its role in glycolysis, insulin secretion and insulin resistance (IR), as well as its relationship with lysosomal acidification, autophagy and ß-amyloid (Aß). In DM, v-ATPase is involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism and IR. v-ATPase is closely related to glycolysis. On the one hand, v-ATPase affects the rate of glycolysis by affecting the secretion of insulin and changing the activities of key glycolytic enzymes hexokinase (HK) and phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK-1). On the other hand, glucose is the main regulator of this enzyme, and the assembly and activity of v-ATPase depend on glucose, and glucose depletion will lead to its decomposition and inactivation. In addition, v-ATPase can also regulate free fatty acids, thereby improving IR. In AD, v-ATPase can not only improve the abnormal brain energy metabolism by affecting lysosomal acidification and autophagy but also change the deposition of Aß by affecting the production and degradation of Aß. Therefore, v-ATPase may be the bridge between DM and AD.

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a significant neurological disorder that can result in severe motor and cognitive impairments. Neuronal regeneration and functional recovery are critical aspects of SCI treatment, with calcium signaling being a crucial indicator of neuronal excitability. In this study, we utilized a murine model to investigate the effects of targeted wireless electrical stimulation (ES) on neuronal activity following SCI. After establishing a complete SCI model in normal mice, flexible electrodes were implanted, and targeted wireless ES was administered to the injury site. We employed fiber-optic photometric in vivo calcium imaging to monitor calcium signals in pyramidal neurons within the CA3 region of the hippocampus and the M1 region of the primary motor cortex. The experimental results demonstrated a significant reduction in calcium signals in CA3 and M1 pyramidal neurons following SCI (reduced by 76 % and 59 %, in peak respectively). However, the application of targeted wireless ES led to a marked increase in calcium signals in these neurons (increased by 118 % and 69 %, in peak respectively), indicating a recovery of calcium activity. These observations suggest that wireless ES has a positive modulatory effect on the excitability of pyramidal neurons post-SCI. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing therapeutic strategies aimed at enhancing neuronal recovery and functional restoration following spinal cord injuries.
RESUMEN
Aim: The present study was designed to investigate the coregulatory effects of multiple histone modifications (HMs) on gene expression in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Materials & methods: Ten histones for LUAD were analyzed using ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data. An innovative computational method is proposed to quantify the coregulatory effects of multiple HMs on gene expression to identify strong coregulatory genes and regions. This method was applied to explore the coregulatory mechanisms of key ferroptosis-related genes in LUAD. Results: Nine strong coregulatory regions were identified for six ferroptosis-related genes with diverse coregulatory patterns (CA9, PGD, CDKN2A, PML, OTUB1 and NFE2L2). Conclusion: This quantitative method could be used to identify important HM coregulatory genes and regions that may be epigenetic regulatory targets in cancers.
RESUMEN
Overall cancer hypomethylation had been identified in the past, but it is not clear exactly which hypomethylation site is the more important for the occurrence of cancer. To identify key hypomethylation sites, we studied the effect of hypomethylation in twelve regions on gene expression in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). The key DNA methylation sites of cg18949415, cg22193385 and important genes of C6orf223, KRT7 were found by constructing a prognostic model, survival analysis and random combination prediction a series of in-depth systematic calculations and analyses, and the results were validated by GEO database, immune microenvironment, drug and functional enrichment analysis. Based on the expression values of C6orf223, KRT7 genes and the DNA methylation values of cg18949415, cg22193385 sites, the least diversity increment algorithm were used to predict COAD and normal sample. The 100 % reliability and 97.12 % correctness of predicting tumor samples were obtained in jackknife test. Moreover, we found that C6orf223 gene, cg18949415 site play a more important role than KRT7 gene, cg22193385 site in COAD. In addition, we investigate the impact of key methylation sites on three-dimensional chromatin structure. Our results will be help for experimental studies and may be an epigenetic biomarker for COAD.

BACKGROUND: Plant-based diets (PBDs) and planetary-health diets (PHDs) are recommended for their potential health and environmental benefits, but population-based evidence in diverse cultures is scarce. METHODS: We included 9364 adults aged 45 years and older (52·3% female, 47·7% male) from the open cohort of the China Health and Nutrition Survey. Dietary intake was assessed using 3-day 24 h dietary recalls combined with weighing methods from 1997 to 2011, and mortality was documented from 1997 to 2015. We calculated the overall PBD index (PDI), healthful PBD index (hPDI), and unhealthful PBD index (uPDI; ranges 18-90), and the PHD score (range 0-140). We also estimated the related greenhouse gas emissions, land appropriation, and total water footprint and examined their associations with mortality. FINDINGS: PBD indices were inversely related to greenhouse gas emissions, land appropriation, and total water footprint, whereas higher PHD score was related to higher environmental burdens (p<0·0001). During follow-up (mean 9·2 years), 792 (8·5%) death cases were documented. PDI (HR 1·08 [95% CI 0·88-1·32]) and hPDI (0·98 [0·80-1·21]) were not significantly associated with mortality, whereas higher uPDI was related to a higher mortality risk (1·55 [1·26-1·91]). In contrast, higher PHD score was associated with lower mortality risk (0·79 [0·63-0·99]). INTERPRETATION: The PBDs showed environmental benefits, but are not necessarily associated with lower mortality risk. The PHD, developed mainly in western populations, was related to lower mortality risk but higher environmental burdens in the Chinese population. FUNDING: Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities, Zhejiang University Global Partnership Fund, and National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Background: While maternal adherence to a healthy lifestyle was shown to be associated with a lower risk of obesity in offspring, the potential role of overall parental lifestyles has not yet been explored. We aimed to address this gap by exploring whether parental adherence to an overall healthy lifestyle was associated with a lower risk of obesity in offspring. Methods: We included 5881 children and adolescents aged 6-15 years at enrolment in the 2010, 2012, and 2014 waves of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) who were free of obesity and followed them until 2020. Parental healthy lifestyle score at study baseline was composed of five modifiable lifestyle factors (0-5; 1 for each): never smoking, non-habitual drinking, weekly exercise, modified dietary diversity score ≥5 points, and body mass index (BMI) of 18.5-23.9 kg/m2. We defined obesity according to the age- and gender-specific cutoffs by the BMI percentile curves for Chinese children aged 6-18 years. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to examine the association between parental healthy lifestyle score (both as continuous and categorical variables) and risk of offspring obesity. Results: Overall, 597 (10.2%) offspring developed obesity during a median follow-up of 6 years. Compared to the lowest tertile of parental healthy lifestyle score, participants in the highest tertile had a 42% (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.58; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.45-0.74) lower risk of obesity. Both maternal (HR = 0.75; 95% CI = 0.61-0.92) and paternal (HR = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.60-0.89) healthy lifestyle scores were associated with lower risks of obesity in offspring. For specific lifestyle factors, we observed beneficial associations for paternal diverse diet (HR = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.60-0.88) and healthy BMI (HR = 0.65; 95% CI = 0.55-0.78). Conclusions: Adherence to an overall parental healthier lifestyle was associated with a lower risk of obesity in childhood and adolescence. This finding highlights the potential benefits of promoting a healthy lifestyle among parents for the primary prevention of offspring obesity.

OBJECTIVE@#To observe the efficacy of early treatment of suspension moxibustion for Bell's palsy and its influence on the prognosis, and to explore whether the early treatment of suspension moxibustion has non-inferiority effect to hormone treatment and whether suspension moxibustion combined with hormone treatment has the synergistic effect.@*METHODS@#A total of 132 patients with acute-stage Bell's palsy were divided into a hormone group (94 cases) and a moxibustion group (38 cases) by non-random method, and the hormone group was further randomly divided into a hormone with moxibustion group (48 cases) and a hormone without moxibustion group (46 cases). The acupuncture and oral administration of mecobalamin capsule were used as basic treatment. Acupuncture was applied at Yangbai (GB 14), Sibai (ST 2), Quanliao (SI 18), Dicang (ST 4), Jiache (ST 6), Yifeng (TE 17), etc., with the needles retained for 30 min, once a day, 5 consecutive days per week; there was an interval of 2 days between two weeks, and a total of 4-week treatment was given. The oral administration of mecobalamin capsule was given 0.5 mg each time, 3 times a day for 4 weeks. The patients in the moxibustion group, on the basis of basic treatment, were treated with the suspension moxibustion at Yangbai (GB 14), Sibai (ST 2), Dicang (ST 4), Jiache (ST 6), Wangu (GB 12), Yifeng (TE 17) of affected side, 5 min per acupoint, once a day, 5 consecutive days per week; there was an interval of 2 days between two weeks, and a total of 4-week treatment was given. The patients in the hormone without moxibustion group, on the basis of basic treatment, were treated with prednisone acetate tablets. The patients in the hormone with moxibustion group, on the basis of basic treatment, were treated with suspension moxibustion and prednisone acetate tablets. All the treatment was given for 4 weeks. The House-Brcackmann facial nerve grading (H-B) global score and facial disability index (FDI) scale were used to evaluate the curative effect in the three groups before treatment, 2 weeks and 4 weeks into treatment and 4 weeks after treatment; the efficacy was compared among the three groups.@*RESULTS@#Compared before treatment, the H-B grading and FDI scores were significantly improved 2 weeks and 4 weeks into treatment and 4 weeks after treatment (0.05); the H-B grading and FDI scores in the hormone with moxibustion group were superior to those in the moxibustion group and the hormone without moxibustion group 4 weeks into treatment and 4 weeks after treatment (0.05). At the end of follow-up, the cured rate in the hormone with moxibustion group was 81.3% (39/48), which was superior to 68.4% (26/38) in the moxibustion group and 60.9% (28/46) in the hormone without moxibustion group (0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The three treatment methods are all safe and effective for acute-stage Bell's palsy. The suspension moxibustion combined with hormone therapy are superior to suspension moxibustion or hormone therapy alone. Early treatment of suspension moxibustion is safe and effective for Bell's palsy, and has obvious synergistic effect with hormone. For the patients who cannot use hormone, suspension moxibustion could replace hormone, which is non-inferior to hormone.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the association between maternal food group intakes during pregnancy and the risk of infantile eczema in a Chinese population. Methods A prospective birth cohort study was conducted and 523 women were recruited at 20-28 weeks of pregnancy in Guangzhou from 2017 to 2018. A validated 81-item quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used to assess maternal dietary intakes during the past month. Food items were divided into ten food groups according to the Chinese Dietary Guidelines. Offspring were followed up at 6 months by the symptom questionnaire of eczema. Multivariate Logistic regression model was conducted to evaluate the association between maternal food group intakes during pregnancy and the risk of infantile eczema. Results The cumulative incidence of eczema at 6 months was 51.8%. Maternal consumption of poultry was higher in the eczema group (27.62±25.20 g/d) than the control group (22.03±22.63 g/d, P=0.022). Comparing to the lowest quantile (Q1), higher maternal intake of poultry (Q4) and fish (Q3) were significantly associated with an increased risk of infantile eczema (OR=2.71, 95% CI=1.24-4.81; OR=2.38, 95% CI=1.23-4.59, respectively) after multivariate adjustment. Conclusion Higher intakes of poultry or fish during pregnancy were associated with an increased risk of infantile eczema in Chinese population.
RESUMEN
Chorismate synthase(CS, EC:4.2.3.5) catalyses 5-enolpyruvy-shikimate-3-phosphate to form chorismate, which is the essential enzyme for chorismate biosynthesis in organisms. The amino acid sequences of CS from 79 species of higher plants were reported in GenBank at present. 125 amino acid sequences of CS from Baphicacanthus cusia and other 78 species of plants were predicted and analyzed by using various bioinformatics software, including the composition of amino acid sequences, signal peptide, leader peptide, hydrophobic/hydrophilic, transmembrane structure, coiled-coil domain, protein secondary structure, tertiary structure and functional domains. The phylogenetic tree of CS protein family was constructed and divided into eight groups by phylogenetic analysis. The homology comparison indicated that B. cusia shared a high homology with several plants such as Sesamum indicum, Nicotiana tabacum, Solanum tuberosum and so on. The open reading frame(ORF) of all samples is about 1 300 bp, the molecular weight is about 50 kDa, the isoelectric point(pI) is 5.0-8.0 which illustrated that CS protein is slightly basic. The ORF of CS we cloned in B. cusia is 1 326 bp, the amino acid residues are 442, the molecular weight is 47 kDa and pI is 8.11. The CS in B.cusia showed obvious hydrophobicity area and hydrophilicity area, no signal peptide, and may exists transmembrane structure areas. The main secondary structures of CS protein are random coil and Alpha helix, also contain three main structural domains which are an active structural domain, a PLN02754 conserved domain and a FMN binding site. The acquired information in this study would provide certain scientific basis for further study on structure-activity relationship and structure modification of CS in plants in the future.

Objective To investigate the effect of Fukeqianjin tablets combined with progesterone on serum immunoglobulin,serum IL-2 and soluble receptor levels in patients with functional uterine bleeding,and to explore the optimal regimen for patients with functional uterine bleeding.Methods A total of 98 patients with functional uterine bleeding diagnosed in our hospital from June,2015 to June,2016 were randomLy divided into observation group and control group(n=49).The patients in the control group were treated with oral progesterone and the observation group.The control group was treated on the basis of the combination of gynecological Qianjin Tablet,compared the two groups of patients before and after treatment of menstrual conditions,serum IgM,IgA,serum IL-2 and soluble receptor levels.Results In the first month,the second month and the third month after treatment,the menstrual volume in the observation group were(103.5±21.5)mL,(93.5±14.7)mL,(81.4± 12.2)(7.68±0.92)d,(6.81±0.87)d and(6.14±0.78)d respectively in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the menstrual period The serum levels of IgA and IgM were(3.6±0.8),(2.6±0.8),(1.8±0.3)and(2.9±0.5),(2.2±0.3),(1.1±0.2)in the first month,the second month and the third month respectively,Significantly lower than the control group,the difference was statistically significant; the first month after treatment,the first two months,the first three months,observation group of patients with serum IL-2 and soluble receptor levels significantly Lower than the control group.Conclusion Fukeqianjin tablets combined with progesterone can improve the immune function of patients with functional uterine bleeding,reduce the level of inflammation and soluble receptor levels,compared with single progesterone treatment better,the program better.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the molecular mechanism underlying the biological function of lncRNA PTENP1 in bladder cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Expressions of PTENP1, PTEN and miR-17 were examined by quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) in 12 bladder cancer tissues. The expression of PTEN was examined by Western blotting in bladder cancer cell lines T24 and 5637 overexpressing PTENP1. Luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the targeting of miR-17 to PTENP1 and PTEN. T24 and 5637 cell lines with stable overexpression of PTENP1 and mir-17 were used to investigate effect of PTNE and miR-17 on the function of PTENP1 in bladder cancer.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression of miR-17 was up-regulated and PTENP1 and PTEN were down-regulated in bladder cancer tissues, where a positive correlation was found between PTENP1 and PTEN expressions and a negative correlation between PTENP1 and miR-17 (P<0.05). Overexpression of PTENP1 in bladder cancer cell lines T24 and 5637 obviously enhanced the expression of PTEN protein. miR-17 was found to target both PTENP1 and PTEN and promote the growth of bladder cancer. miR-17 could partially restore the tumor-suppressing activity of PTENP1 in bladder cancer.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>By binding with miR-17, lncRNA PTENP1 functions as a PTEN competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to suppress the progression of bladder cancer.</p>
RESUMEN
Objective To construct the eukaryotic expression vector of human BRE1B labeled with pCMV-Tag-2B and detect its biological activity in melanoma cells preliminarily.Methods Ocular B16 melanoma cells were randomly divided into the experimental group,in which the cells were transfected with pCMV-Tag-2B-BRE1B and the control group,which was transfected with pCMV plasmid.The CDS coding region of human BRE1B gene was amplified by PCR using human mammary gland cDNA as a template for construction of the recombinant plasmid pCMV-Tag-2B-BRE1B.After transfected with pCMV-Tag-2B-BRE1B and pCMV plasmid in the experimental and control group,respectively,Western blot was applied to detect the expression of BRE1B protein,while cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) and colony assays were used to analyze the effects of recombinant plasmid pCMV-Tag-2B-BRE1B on the growth of B16 melanoma cells.Results The CDS coding sequence of human BRE1B gene was amplified by PCR successfully,which was equal to the expected size.Compared with the control group,the sequence from bacteria PCR was identified as positive,with the length of 4000 bp and 3050 bp by double enzyme digestion respectively.Moreover,the coding sequence of the human BRE1B gene was exactly the same as the inserted DNA sequence.Western blot results showed that the expression of recombinant plasmid pCMV-Tag-2B-BRE1B was successfully expressed in the experimental group,but there was no specific fragments in the control group.And cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) and colony assays showed that pCMV-Tag-2B-BRE1B recombinant plasmid could inhibit the growth of B16 melanoma cells.Conclusion The eukaryotic expression vector of pCMV-Tag-2B-BRE1B labeled with pCMV-Tag-2B is constructed successfully,and it has inhibitory effects on the growth of ocular B16 melanoma cells.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the rapid development of medical and tissue engineering has provided more choices for making nerve conduit preparation. OBJECTIVE: To review the application of nerve conduits in the repair of peripheral nerve injury. METHODS: The first author retrieved the CNKI and PubMed databases to search relevant articles published from 2010 to 2016. The key words were "nerve conduit, peripheral nerve" in Chinese and English, respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The nerve conduit materials are mainly classified into biotype and non-biotype. Biotype materials mainly include muscle, amniotic membrane, vein and small intestinal submucosal layer. The non-biotype materials include chitosan, collagen, silk fibroin, polylactic acid, polycaprolactone, polyaniline and silicone tubes. Some materials currently have been approved to enter the clinical stage. There are more or less problems in the clinical application of nerve conduits in the repair of peripheral nerve injury. For example, the length of a defect that can be repaired is limited; the mechanical properties and mechanical properties are not exactly matched with nerve regeneration; the degradation rate is inconsistent with the rate of nerve regeneration; and poor biocompatibility exists.
