Proteomic and bioinformatic analysis of human endometrium from polycystic ovarian syndrome with and without insulin resistance.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the endometrial proteomic profiles of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with and without insulin resistance (IR). Method of Study: We collected 40 endometrial samples, including PCOS-IR (n = 21), PCOS-non-IR (n = 12), and control (n = 7). Data-independent acquisition (DIA)-based proteomics method is used to identify the expressed proteins among the three groups. The correlation between pregnancy outcomes and identified proteins was analyzed by Lasso regression. Results: A total of 5331 proteins were identified, while 275 proteins were differentially expressed in the PCOS vs. control group and 215 proteins were differentially expressed in the PCOS-IR vs. PCOS-non-IR group. Platelet degranulation, neutrophil degranulation, and very long-chain fatty acid catabolic processes have been found to play important roles in the endometrium of patients with PCOS-IR. Lasso regression analysis found that ACTR1A, TSC22D2, CKB, ABRAXAS2, and TAGLN2 were associated with miscarriage in patients with PCOS. ACTR1A and CKB were higher in the PCOS-IR group and were positively correlated with HOMA-IR (p < .05). Conclusion: In this study, a panel of proteins was found to be differently expressed in the endometrium. ACTR1A and CKB may be considered as PCOS-IR candidate biomarkers.

Minimizing the risk to human health due to the ingestion of arsenic and toxic metals in vegetables by the application of biochar, farmyard manure and peat moss.

Mining activity releases toxic metals (TMs) into the soil ecosystem and creates serious problems for the environment and human beings due to their adverse eco-toxilogical impacts. Currently, several remediation techniques can be used to immobilize TMs within contaminated soil. The present study focuses on the application of different organic amendments biochar (B), farmyard manure (FYM) and peat moss (PTM) - at different application rates (1%, 2% and 5%) in mining-impacted agricultural soil to immobilize TMs (Ni, Cr, As, Zn, Cd and Pb) and minimize their bioaccumulation in pea (Pisum sativum) and chili (Capsicum annuum) and the associated human health risk. Among the organic amendments, the treatments at the 5% application rate of B, FYM and PTM significantly (p ≤ 0.001) reduced the bioavailability of TM concentrations in amended soil and increased pea and chili plants' and fruits' biomasses when compared with the control. Moreover, risk assessments showed that B, FYM and PTM decreased the daily intake and health risk associated with the consumption of vegetables effectively for individual TMs compared with the control. The highest application rate of 5% significantly (p ≤ 0.001) reduced the average daily intake of TMs and their health risk, as compared to 1% and 2%, for both adults and children. The health risk index (HRI ˂ 1) values were lower (and within safety limits) for adults and children consuming vegetables grown on organic-amended soils. The results indicate that the B5% treatment of this mining-impacted agricultural soil was the most efficient at increasing plant and fruit biomasses and reducing the bioavailability, bioaccumulation and daily intake of TMs and their potential health risk through consumption of vegetables such as pea and chili, as compared to FYM, PTM and the control treatment.

Efficacy and safety of extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with sodium hyaluronate in treatment of knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and Meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy and safety of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) combined with sodium hyaluronate (HA) for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). METHODS: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, China Science and Technology Journal Database, and SinoMed were searched from inception to July 2020. The quality of the randomized controlled trials was evaluated independently by two reviewers according to the criteria in the Cochrane Collaboration for Systematic Reviews. The identified articles were then screened individually using EndnoteX9 for eligibility in this Meta-analysis. The heterogeneity among the articles was evaluated using I2. RESULTS: A total of 17 studies, comprising 2000 individuals, were included in this Meta-analysis. The results showed that a significant improvement was observed in knee pain and function based on the clinical efficacy of ESWT combined with HA. Statistical analysis of clinical efficacy showed that [relative risk (RR) = 1.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.12, 1.30), P < 0.01]. Statistical analysis of visual analog scale showed that [standardized mean difference (SMD) = －2.84, 95%CI (－4.01, －1.66), P < 0.01]. Western Ontario and McMaster University osteoarthritis index statistical analysis showed that [SMD = －1.57, 95% CI (－2.52, －0.61), P < 0.01]. Lysholm score statistical analysis showed that [SMD = 1.71, 95% CI (0.98, 2.44), P < 0.01]. In addition, only minor side effects, such as redness and swelling of the skin, were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Medium to low quality evidence showed that ESWT combined with HA offers an inexpensive, well-tolerated, safe, and effective method to improve pain and functionality in patients with KOA. However, tightly controlled, randomized, large multicenter trials are warranted to validate the current findings.

Fabrication of metallic nanopatterns with ultrasmooth surface on various substrates through lift-off and transfer process.

The smooth surface of the metallic nanostructure is essential for the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons. In this paper, we present a novel method to fabricate the metallic nanopatterns with ultra-smooth surface on various substrates. By using a silica film as the sacrificial layer, we show that the prefabricated metallic nanopatterns produced by electron beam lithography and film deposition can be hydrolyzed and transferred onto a designated substrate. The ultra-smooth surface morphology of nanopatterns has been characterized and verified by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. More importantly, we demonstrate that this method can successfully produce a variety of nanostructures with high product yield, even onto the uneven substrate. The results indicate that our proposed method is a promising and versatile means to fabricate multiplicate smooth metallic nanostructure on various substrates for the application of nanophotonic devices.

Stigma towards mental illness in Asian nations and low-and-middle-income countries, and comparison with high-income countries: A literature review and practice implications.

Background: Stigma related to mental illness (and its treatment) is prevalent worldwide. This stigma could be at the structural or organizational level, societal level (interpersonal stigma), and the individual level (internalized stigma). Vulnerable populations, for example, gender minorities, children, adolescents, and geriatric populations, are more prone to stigma. The magnitude of stigma and its negative influence is determined by socio-cultural factors and macro (mental health policies, programs) or micro-level factors (societal views, health sectors, or individuals' attitudes towards mentally ill persons). Mental health stigma is associated with more serious psychological problems among the victims, reduced access to mental health care, poor adherence to treatment, and unfavorable outcomes. Although various nationwide and well-established anti-stigma interventions/campaigns exist in high-income countries (HICs) with favorable outcomes, a comprehensive synthesis of literature from the Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), more so from the Asian continent is lacking. The lack of such literature impedes growth in stigma-related research, including developing anti-stigma interventions. Aim: To synthesize the available mental health stigma literature from Asia and LMICs and compare them on the mental health stigma, anti-stigma interventions, and the effectiveness of such interventions from HICs. Materials and Methods: PubMed and Google Scholar databases were screened using the following search terms: stigma, prejudice, discrimination, stereotype, perceived stigma, associate stigma (for Stigma), mental health, mental illness, mental disorder psychiatric* (for mental health), and low-and-middle-income countries, LMICs, High-income countries, and Asia, South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation/SAARC (for countries of interest). Bibliographic and grey literature were also performed to obtain the relevant records. Results: The anti-stigma interventions in Asia nations and LMICs are generalized (vs. disorder specific), population-based (vs. specific groups, such as patients, caregivers, and health professionals), mostly educative (vs. contact-based or attitude and behavioral-based programs), and lacking in long-term effectiveness data. Government, international/national bodies, professional organizations, and mental health professionals can play a crucial in addressing mental health stigma. Conclusion: There is a need for a multi-modal intervention and multi-sectoral coordination to mitigate the mental health stigma. Greater research (nationwide surveys, cultural determinants of stigma, culture-specific anti-stigma interventions) in this area is required.

Factors Associated With Preference of Psychological Intervention and Mental Status Among Chinese Teachers During Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Large Cross-Sectional Survey.

Aims: The authors sought to explore the psychological distress of teachers during COVID-19 pandemic and their preference for psychological intervention. The overarching goal was to gain insight on how to build an effective psychological support system for teachers during and after the pandemic. Methods: The mental health condition of teachers (N = 18,521) was assessed online by using a questionnaire consisting of standard instruments PHQ-15, GAD-7, PHQ-2, PC-PTSD, and additional questions about sleep disturbance, suicidality and preference of psychological intervention methods. Results: 35.5% of Chinese teachers reported sleep disturbance, 25.3% complained somatic discomfort, 17.7% had anxiety symptoms, 4.0% had depression, 2.8% had self-injury or suicidal thoughts. Women are more likely to have somatic symptoms, sleep disturbance and depression. There were age differences for anxiety, somatic symptoms and suicidal thoughts. High percentages of university teachers reported moderate to severe anxiety, somatic symptoms, depression and sleep disturbance. The most preferred psychological intervention is the self-practice of stress management skills (N = 11,477, 62.0%). Teachers with moderate and severe symptoms are more likely in need of hotline and online counseling and those with serious suicidal thoughts are three times more likely to use a telephone hotline. Conclusions: During the COVID-19 outbreak, the major reported psychological distresses among Chinese teachers are anxiety, sleep disturbance and somatic symptoms. There were gender, age and school setting differences. Females, teachers over 45 years old and those who work at universities tend to be more vulnerable. Different teachers chose different interventions, mostly based on the severity of their symptoms.

Electro-acupuncture versus sham electro-acupuncture for auditory hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia: a randomized controlled trial.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of electro-acupuncture with that of sham electro-acupuncture for auditory hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia partially responsive or non-responsive to risperidone. DESIGN: Patient- and assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Hospital-based practice. PARTICIPANTS: Schizophrenia patients with auditory hallucinations who are partially responsive or non-responsive to risperidone monotherapy (n = 60). INTERVENTIONS: All patients were randomly allocated to a real electro-acupuncture group or a sham electro-acupuncture group and treated for 30 sessions within six weeks. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome measure was the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales Auditory Hallucination Subscale. Secondary outcomes included the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale and side-effects. A clinical response was defined as >20% reduction score (from baseline) on the total score of the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales Auditory Hallucination Subscale. RESULTS: Sixty patients were selected for randomized real electro-acupuncture treatment (n = 30) or sham electro-acupuncture treatment (n = 30). Patients in the real electro-acupuncture group experienced greater improvement in the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales Auditory Hallucination Subscale total score, physical characteristics factor score and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale positive symptom score than the sham electro-acupuncture group at both week 4 and week 6. The clinical response rates in the real electro-acupuncture group and sham electro-acupuncture group were 43.3% (n = 30) and 13.3% (n = 30), respectively (chi(2) = 6.648, P =0.027). There was no significance between-group difference in side-effects. CONCLUSION: Electro-acupuncture might provide improvement in auditory hallucinations and positive symptom for patients with schizophrenia partially responsive or non-responsive to risperidone monotherapy.

Ecological and health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in the major rivers of Pakistan: General population vs. Fishermen.

Large amounts of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) have, and continue to be, released into the freshwater ecosystems of Pakistan. However, there is limited information available on the ecological risk of PTEs from sediments and fish consumption, for both the general population and fishermen, at the national scale in Pakistan. In this study, water, sediments and fish samples were collected from major rivers (Chenab, Upper Indus, Lower Indus and Kabul) across Pakistan and analyzed through Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS), Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy ICP-AES and Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (AFS), respectively. Ecological risk analysis of sediments revealed that Cd posed a high ecological risk in the Upper Indus and Chenab, a considerable risk in the Lower Indus, and moderate risk in the Kabul. The target hazard quotient of As through fish tissue consumption exceeded safety levels for fishermen at all the rivers, where Cd exceeded at Upper Indus and Chenab, and Pb for Chenab fishermen only. For the general population, PTE ingestion through fish tissues was within the safety limits at all rivers. Meanwhile, the total target hazard quotient in all three rivers exceeded the safety limit, representing a high risk for the fishermen of Pakistan. The results show that ecological risk and target hazard quotient assessment not only provides valuable information for future research in terms of PTE contamination in the major rivers of Pakistan, but also all the metal pollutants from rivers finally reach to Arabian Sea, therefore might pose a risk to marine ecosystem at national and international scale.

Roles of long non-coding RNAs in digestive tract cancer and their clinical application / 浙江大学学报·医学版

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are strongly related to the occurrence and development of digestive tract cancer in human. Firstly, lncRNAs target and regulate the expression of downstream cancer genes to affect the growth, metastasis, apoptosis, metabolism and immune escape of cancer cells. Secondly, lncRNAs are considered to be important regulating factors for lipid metabolism in cancer, which is related to signaling pathways of adipogenesis and involved in the occurrence and development of digestive tract cancer. Finally, lncRNAs have application value in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive tract cancer. For example, lncRNAMALAT1 has been reported as a target for diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. This article reviews current progress on the regulatory role of lncRNAs in digestive tract cancer, to provide references for the research and clinical application in the prevention and treatment of digestive tract cancer.

Levels, dietary intake, and health risk of potentially toxic metals in vegetables, fruits, and cereal crops in Pakistan.

Food safety is a major concern worldwide and human beings are frequently exposed to potentially toxic metals (PTMs) through consumption of vegetables, fruits, and cereal crops grown in contaminated areas. The present study investigates the concentrations of PTMs such as chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in the foodstuffs (fruits, vegetables, and cereals) collected from different markets of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Samples of fruits (banana, tangerine, apple, and guava), vegetables (tomato, onion, potato, pea, and lady finger), and cereals (rice, kidney beans, and chick peas) were acid-extracted and analyzed using ICP-MS. The concentrations of Cr, Zn, Pb, As, and Cd in fruits (54, 50, 50, 45, and 4% samples, respectively), vegetables (53, 43, 63, 80, and 46%), and cereals (37, 62, 25, 70, and 25%) exceeded their respective permissible limits set by FAO/WHO (2001). The results showed that the highest mean concentration was observed for Ni (14.95 mg/kg), Pb (0.57 mg/kg), and Cd (0.27 mg/kg) in vegetables followed by fruits and cereals. However, the highest mean concentration of As (0.44 mg/kg) was observed in cereal crops followed by vegetables and fruits. The individual health risk of PTMs via consumption of fruits, vegetables, and cereals were found within safe limits for adults and children. Nevertheless, the total HRI values (fruits + vegetables + cereals) for Ni, As, and Cd for both adults and children were observed > 1 and may posed potential risk for the community consuming these foodstuffs on a daily basis.

Objective To investigate the difference in blood lipid parameters between acute-on-chronic pre-liver failure (pre-ACLF) and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and the risk factors for disease progression. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the related data of 118 patients with ACLF (ACLF group) and 44 patients with pre-ACLF (pre-ACLF group) who were treated in The General Hospital of Western Theater Command from January 2012 to December 2020, including baseline age, albumin, creatinine, routine blood test results, and blood lipids. The independent samples t -test was used for comparison between normally distributed continuous data; and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between non-normally distributed continuous data; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. A binary logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis to identify independent predictive factors. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the sensitivity and specificity of related indicators, and Youden index was used to calculate cut-off values. Results Compared with the pre-ACLF group, the ACLF group had significantly lower levels of total cholesterol (TC)[2.02(1.56-2.37) mmol/L vs 3.01(2.57-3.66) mmol/L, Z =5.411, P 0.05). The logistic regression analysis showed that TC (odds ratio [ OR ]=0.003, 95% confidence interval [ CI ]: 0.000-0.068, P < 0.05), LDL ( OR =61.901, 95% CI : 3.354-1142.558, P < 0.05), and WBC ( OR =3.175, 95% CI : 1.097-9.185, P < 0.05) had an independent predictive value, and the ROC analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve of TC was 0.852, the sensitivity of LDL was 0.887, and TC had the best specificity of TC was 0.840. Conclusion There are reductions in blood lipid parameters in the progression from pre-ACLF to ACLF, suggesting that clinicians should pay attention to the changes in lipids in the pre-ACLF stage and adjust the nutritional regimen in a timely manner.

In pre-service survey, 15.8% of 38 patients were with anxiety, 55.3% were with stress, and 15.8% were with depression; 16.3% of 49 healthcare workers were with anxiety, 26.5% were with stress, and 22.4% were with depression. In post-service survey, 62.5% of 48 healthcare workers thought it was very practical, 37.5% thought more practical; 37.5% of them thought it was very helpful to relief anxiety and insomnia, and 27.1% thought much helpful; 37.5% of them thought it was very helpful to recognize patients with anxiety and insomnia, and 29.2% thought much helpful; 35.4% of them thought it was very helpful to deal with patients' anxiety and insomnia, and 37.5% thought much helpful.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Psychological crisis intervention is feasible, acceptable, and associated with positive outcomes. Future tastings of this model in larger population and different settings are warranted.

Quality evaluation of crude drug and different processed products of Eriobotryae Folium / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To evalu ate the quality of crude drug and di fferent processed products of Eriobotryae Folium . METHODS Ten batches of Eriobotryae Folium were processed into honey-stir-baked Eriobotryae Folium ，ginger-juice-stir-baked Eriobotryae Folium ，ginger-juice-boiled Eriobotryae Folium ，licorice-juice-stir-baked Eriobotryae Folium ，licorice-juice-boiled Eriobotryae Folium ，stir-fried Eriobotryae Folium ，totally 70 batches of samples . The contents of alcohol-soluble extracts ，the contents of total triterpene acids （calculated by ursolic acid ）and five triterpene acids such as euscaphic acid were determined by hot-dipping method ，ultraviolet and visibe spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC），respectively. The fingerprints were established with HPLC and their similarity evaluation was conducted with Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint （2004A）. Common peaks were identified by comparison with mixed control. Hierarchical clustering analysis ，principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） were performed by using SPSS 22.0 software and SIMCA-P 14.1 software. RESULTS In Eriobotryae Folium ，honey-stir-baked Eriobotryae Folium ，ginger-juice-stir-baked Eriobotryae Folium ，ginger-juice-boiled Eriobotryae Folium ，licorice-juice-stir-baked Eriobotryae Folium ，licorice-juice-boiled Eriobotryae Folium ，stir-fried Eriobotryae Folium ，average contents of alcohol-soluble extracts were 25.90％，39.95％，27.44％，28.20％，28.38％，26.36％ and 29.26％；average contents of total triterpene acids were 40.62，49.33，52.56，46.38，52.17，55.06 and 53.41 mg/g；average contents of euscaphic acid ，crataegolic acid ，corosolic acid ， oleanolic acid ，ursolic acid and average total content were 1.966-4.808，1.459-2.824，4.525-8.172，1.294-1.817，6.294-8.470， 15.538-25.671 mg/g，respectively. There were 11 common peaks in 70 batches of samples ，and the peak 2，5，6，10 and 11 were identified as euscaphic acid ，crataegolic acid ，corosolic acid ， oleanolic acid and ursolic acid. The similarities of crude drug different processed products with crude drug fringer print were 0.919-1.000. Among 70 batches of samples ，10 batches of Eriobotryae Folium could be clustered into one category ，and 10 batches of ginger- juice-boiled Eriobotryae Folium could be clustered into one category ；other 50 batches of processed products of Eriobotryae Folium could be clustered into one category ； the cumulative variance contribution rate of the first two principal components was 80.682％；variable importance in projection （VIP）value was in descending order ，i.e. peak 2（euscaphic acid ）＞peak 5（crataegolic acid ）＞peak 6（corosolic acid ）＞peak 9 （unknown component ） ＞peak 11 （ursolic acid ）＞peak 10 （oleanolic acid ）， which of them were all higher than 1. CONCLUSIONS After processing ，the contents of alcohol-soluble extracts ，total triterpene acids and the total content of five triterpene acids （euscaphic acid ，crataegolic acid ，corosolic acid ，oleanolic acid and ursolic acid ）increased in varying degrees ， among which the content of alcohol-soluble extracts in honey-stir-baked Eriobotryae Folium was the highest ，the content of total triterpene acids in licorice-juice-boiled Eriobotryae Folium was the highest ，and total content of five triterpene acids in ginger- juice-boiled Eriobotryae Folium was the highest. Euscaphic acid ，crataegolic acid ，corosolic acid ，ursolic acid ，oleanolic acid and other components may be the differential components affecting the quality of raw and processed the leaves from Eriobotryae Folium .
