RESUMO

BACKGROUND: It has been reported that Runx1 engaged in IS progression, but the detailed mechanism of Runx1 in IS is still unclear. METHODS: Mice and HT22 cells were subjected to the process of middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R) and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R), respectively. Infract volume was tested using TTC staining. The levels of inflammatory cytokines were investigated using ELISA assay. Cell viability was examined utilizing MTS. Apoptosis rate was evaluated using flow cytometry and TUNEL. The productions of SOD and MDA were monitored by means of commercial kits. The correlations among Runx1, miR-203-3p and Pde4d were ascertained using dual luciferase reporter gene, ChIP and RNA-RNA pull-down assays. RESULTS: Runx1 and Pde4d were abnormally elevated, while miR-203-3p was notably declined in MCAO/R mice and OGD/R-induced HT22 cells. OGD/R treatment suppressed cell viability and facilitated cell apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress, which were compromised by Runx1 knockdown or miR-203-3p upregulation. Runx1 bound to miR-203-3p promoter, thus decreasing miR-203-3p expression. MiR-203-3p inhibited Pde4d expression via targeting Pde4d mRNA. Runx1 deficiency-induced protection effects on OGD/R-treated HT22 cells were offset by miR-203-3p downregulation. CONCLUSION: Runx1 aggravated neuronal injury caused by IS through mediating miR-203-3p/Pde4d axis.

RESUMO

Microplastics are detrimental to the environment. However, the combined effects of microplastics and arsenic (As) remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the combined effects of polystyrene (PS) microplastics and As on HepG2 cells. The results showed that PS microplastics 20, 50, 200, and 500 nm in size were taken up by HepG2 cells, causing a decrease in cellular mitochondrial membrane potential. The results of lactate dehydrogenase release and flow cytometry showed that PS microplastics, especially those of 50 nm, enhanced As-induced apoptosis. In addition, transcriptome analysis revealed that TP53, AKT1, CASP3, ACTB, BCL2L1, CASP8, XIAP, MCL1, NFKBIA, and CASP7 were the top 10 hub genes for PS that enhanced the role of As in HepG2 cell apoptosis. Our results suggest that nano-PS enhances As-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, this study is important for a better understanding of the role of microplastics in As-induced hepatotoxicity.

RESUMO

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the methodological comparison of reticulocytes by using the intelligent learning system Faster R-CNN, a set of reticulocyte image detection systems developed using deep neural networks. Methods: We selected 59 EDTA-K2 anticoagulated whole blood samples and calculated the RET% using seven different Sysmex XN full-automatic hematology analyzers with Faster R-CNN in the laboratory. We compared and evaluated the methods and statistically analyzed the correlation between the various test results. Results: The results indicated a high degree of consistency between the seven Sysmex XN full-automatic hematology analyzers and Faster R-CNN in detecting RET%. The correlation coefficients were 0.987, 0.984, 0.986, 0.987, 0.987, 0.988, and 0.986, respectively. Conclusion: We found that the Sysmex XN full-automatic hematology analyzers in our laboratory using the Faster R-CNN system met the requirements of the methodological comparison of reticulocyte detection and this intelligent learning system can be a useful clinical tool.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an allergic disease characterized by the dominant differentiation of T helper cell 2 (Th2). BACH2 plays a key role in regulating Th2 immune response. This study aimed to explore the association between BACH2 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) and susceptibility to AR. METHODS: Han population from northern Shaanxi, China was chosen as subjects. After the DNA extraction from the peripheral blood of subjects, genotyping was completed through the Agena MassARRAY platform. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association. Multivariate dimensionality reduction (MDR) was used to evaluate the effect of the interaction between 'SNP-SNP' on susceptibility to AR. Using false-positive report probability (FPRP) analysis to test whether the significant results obtained in this study were noteworthy. RESULTS: BACH2-rs905670 and -rs2134814 were significantly associated with increased risk of AR. The mutant allele 'A' of rs905670 (OR = 1.36, p = 0.018) and mutant allele 'G' of rs2134814 (OR = 1.34, p = 0.027) were risk genetic factors for AR. The above genetic association was further observed in the stratified analysis: BACH2-rs905670 and-rs2134814 were significantly associated with an increased risk of AR in females, aging older than 43 years, and participants working and living in the loess hills (OR > 1, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: BACH2-rs905670 and -rs2134814 are significantly associated with increasing AR risk.

RESUMO

Objectives: This research aimed to explore the prevalence and determinants of overweight, obesity, and central obesity in Shenmu City, Shaanxi Province, China and to offer guidance for preventative health measures. Methods: We conducted a multi-stage, stratified random sampling survey among 4,565 residents of Shenmu City. Data collection included questionnaires and anthropometric assessments to gather socio-demographic data and to identify cases of overweight, obesity, and central obesity. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was utilized to assess the association between various factors and these conditions. Results: The observed prevalence rates for overweight, obesity, central obesity, and the combination of overweight/obesity with central obesity were 39.9%, 18.2%, 48.0%, 32.8%, and 22.8%, respectively. Notably, the incidence of these conditions was significantly higher in men compared to women. The prevalence of overweight and obesity initially increased and then decreased with age, whereas the prevalence of central obesity consistently rose. Furthermore, a higher educational level correlated with lower prevalence rates. Additionally, our analysis indicated that hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia are risk factors for these conditions. Conclusions: The findings of this study offer crucial insights for formulating effective strategies to prevent and manage obesity in Shenmu City.
