RESUMEN
This study explores the peer and economic effects of corporate poverty alleviation behavior. Using the data of A-share non-financial listed corporates in Shanghai and Shenzhen of China from 2016 to 2020, the empirical analysis of this study finds that: corporate poverty alleviation behavior has significant peer effects; the guidance of local poverty alleviation policies weakens the peer effects of corporate poverty alleviation behavior; compared to private enterprises, the poverty alleviation behavior of the peer firms has a more significant impact on state-owned enterprises; and corporate poverty alleviation behavior can result in the backflow of economic benefits and achieve the organic unity of economic and social benefits. The purpose of this paper is to explore the peer effects of corporate poverty alleviation behaviors through empirical analysis using available public data. The results of the study not only increase the motivation of corporate to participate in poverty alleviation from a peer effects perspective, but also reveal key factors for sustaining corporate poverty alleviation behaviors.

In recent years, the anticancer effects of disulfiram, a clinical drug for anti-alcoholism, are confirmed. However, several defects limit the clinical translation of disulfiram obviously, such as Cu(II)-dependent anticancer activity, instability, and non-selectivity for cancer cells. Herein, a phosphate and hydrogen peroxide dual-responsive nanoplatform (PCu-HA-DQ) is reported, which is constructed by encapsulating disulfiram prodrug (DQ) and modifying hyaluronic acid (HA) on copper doping metal-organic frameworks (PCu MOFs). PCu-HA-DQ is expected to accumulate in tumor by targeting CD-44 receptors and enable guidance with magnetic resonance imaging. Inside the tumor, Cu(DTC)2 will be generated in situ based on a dual-responsive reaction. In detail, the high concentration of phosphate can induce the release of DQ, after that, the intracellular hydrogen peroxide will further mediate the generation of Cu(DTC)2 . In vitro and in vivo results indicate PCu-HA-DQ can induce the apoptosis as well as immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells distinctly, leading to enhanced immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) efficacy by combining the anti-programmed death-1 antibody. This work provides a portable strategy to construct a dual-responsive nanoplatform integrating tumor-targeted ability and multi-therapy, and the designed nanoplatform is also an ICD inducer, which presents a prospect for boosting systemic antitumor immunity and ICI efficacy.

Direct inhibitor of tau aggregation has been extensively studied as potential therapeutic agents for Alzheimer's disease. However, the natively unfolded structure of tau complicates the structure-based ligand design, and the relatively large surface areas that mediate tau-tau interactions in aggregation limit the potential for identifying high-affinity ligand binding sites. Herein, a group of isatin-pyrrolidinylpyridine derivative isomers (IPP1-IPP4) were designed and synthesized. They are like different forms of molecular "transformers". These isatin isomers exhibit different inhibitory effects on tau self-aggregation or even possess a depolymerizing effect. Our results revealed for the first time that the direct inhibitor of tau protein aggregation is not only determined by the previously reported conjugated structure, substituent, hydrogen bond donor, etc. but also depends more importantly on the molecular shape. In combination with molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations, a new inhibition mechanism was proposed: like a "molecular clip", IPP1 could noncovalently bind and fix a tau polypeptide chain at a multipoint to prevent the transition from the "natively unfolded conformation" to the "aggregation competent conformation" before nucleation. At the cellular and animal levels, the effectiveness of the inhibitor of the IPP1 has been confirmed, providing an innovative design strategy as well as a lead compound for Alzheimer's disease drug development.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in various tumors. However, the role of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) methylation in ctDNA of patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) remains largely unclear. METHODS: Patients with PC (n = 43), pancreatic benign diseases (n = 39), and healthy controls (n = 20) were enrolled in the study. Quantitative analysis of methylation pattern of five candidate TSGs including NPTX2, RASSF1A, EYA2, p16, and ppENK in ctDNA was performed by next generation sequencing (NGS). The diagnostic performances of these 5-TSGs methylation were assessed by the operating characteristic (ROC) curve and clinicopathological features correlation analysis. Meanwhile, the changes in methylation levels of these 5-TSGs on the 7th postoperative day were evaluated in 23 PC patients who underwent radical resection. RESULTS: The methylation levels of RASSF1A, EYA2, ppENK and p16 genes in patients with PC were significantly higher than those in healthy controls. EYA2, p16 and ppENK genes showed significantly hypermethylation in PC than those in pancreatic benign diseases. NPTX2, RASSF1A, EYA2, p16 and ppENK genes showed significantly hypermethylation in pancreatic benign diseases than those in healthy controls (P < 0.05). The methylation levels of these 5 candidate TSGs were not correlated with the tumor size, nerve invasion, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage of PC. The AUC of these biomarkers for diagnosis of PC ranged from 0.65 to 0.96. The AUC values of these methylated genes and CpG sites for differentiating malignant and benign pancreatic diseases were ranging from 0.68 to 0.92. Combined the hypermethylated genes improved the detective ability of PC than single gene. The methylation levels of NPTX2, EYA2 and ppENK genes were significantly decreased after radical resection of PC. CONCLUSION: Quantitative analysis of methylation pattern of NPTX2, RASSF1A, EYA2, p16 and ppENK in ctDNA by NGS could be a valuable non-invasive tool for detection and monitoring of PC.

Substantial evidence attests to the pivotal role of cancer stem cells (CSC) in both tumorigenesis and drug resistance. A member of the forkhead box (FOX) family, FOXC1, assumes significance in embryonic development and organogenesis. Furthermore, FOXC1 functions as an overexpressed transcription factor in various tumors, fostering proliferation, enhancing migratory capabilities, and promoting drug resistance, while maintaining stem-cell-like properties. Despite these implications, scant attention has been devoted to its role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Our investigation revealed a pronounced upregulation of FOXC1 expression in ESCC, correlating with a poor prognosis. The downregulation of FOXC1 demonstrated inhibitory effects on ESCC tumorigenesis, proliferation, and tolerance to chemotherapeutic agents, concurrently reducing the levels of stemness-related markers CD133 and CD44. Further studies validated that FOXC1 induces ESCC stemness by transactivating CBX7 and IGF-1R. Additionally, IGF-1 activated the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB and MEK/ERK/NF-κB pathways through its binding to IGF-1R, thereby augmenting FOXC1 expression. Conversely, suppressing FOXC1 impeded ESCC stemness induced by IGF-1. The presence of a positive feedback loop, denoted by IGF-1-FOXC1-IGF-1R, suggests the potential of FOXC1 as a prognostic biomarker for ESCC. Taken together, targeting the IGF-1-FOXC1-IGF-1R axis emerges as a promising approach for anti-CSC therapy in ESCC.
RESUMEN
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of vaccination, COVID-19 pandemic and migration of migratory birds on the avian influenza positivity rate in Shangrao City and to predict the future avian influenza positivity rate. Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect nucleic acids of avian influenza A viruses. 1795 samples were collected between 2016 and 2022, of which 1086 were positive. In addition, there were seven human cases of avian influenza. The results showed that the positivity rate of H9 subtype in Shangrao City was higher than usual during the COVID-19 pandemic and migratory birds. Predictions suggest that the H9 subtype positivity rate in Shangrao City will be on the rise in the future. In recent years, the H5 positivity rate has gradually increased. Migratory birds and the COVID-19 pandemic have led to an increase in H9 subtype positivity. Therefore, the prevention and control of them should be strengthened.

BACKGROUND: Macrophages exhibit different phenotypes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and promote inflammation or tissue repair depending on their polarization state. Alcohol is a widely used solvent in pharmaceutical formulations, and its consumption is associated with an increased risk of colitis; however, its effects on macrophages in IBD remain poorly understood. PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the effect of alcohol on macrophages in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis and understand the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: DSS-treated C57BL/6 mice were exposed to varying concentrations of alcohol, transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) antagonist, and 5-aminosalicylic acid. The distal colon was resected, fixed, stained, and histologically analyzed, through hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and immunofluorescence staining. Ratio [Ca2+]i measurements, western blotting, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, cytokine measurements, and RNA sequencing analyses were also performed. Peritoneal macrophages and RAW264.7 cells were used for in vitro experiments, and various assays were performed to evaluate cellular responses, gene expression, and signaling pathways. RESULTS: Alcohol exacerbated DSS-treated mice colitis and promoted the secretion of various inflammatory cytokines from colonic macrophages. Alcohol enhances the calcium ion influx induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in peritoneal macrophages, while the TRPV1 antagonist capsazepine (CPZ) inhibits LPS- and/or alcohol- induced calcium influx in macrophages. Alcohol and LPS activate the MAPK/P38, MAPK/ERK, and NF-κB signaling pathways and induce the macrophage M2b polarization, resulting in the increased expression level of inflammatory cytokines such as Tnf, Il1b, and Il10. Additionally, CPZ can inhibit the facilitatory effects of alcohol or LPS on the abovementioned pathways and inflammatory factors, reversing macrophage M2b polarization and promoting alcohol-induced colitis. The inhibition of nucleotide binding oligomerization domain containing 2 (NOD2) partially suppressed the alcohol and LPS effects on macrophages. CONCLUSION: Alcohol exacerbates experimental colitis and induces M2b polarization of macrophage via TRPV1-MAPK/NF-κB. Our study provides new insights into the potential therapeutic targets for IBD treatment by elucidating the role of TRPV1 in alcohol-exacerbated colitis, using CPZ as a potential therapeutic option. The identification of transient receptor potential ankyrin subtype 1 (TRPA1) as a therapeutic target expands the scope of future research.

Transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) is a cold sensory receptor in primary sensory neurons that regulates various neuronal functions. Substance P (SP) is a pro-inflammatory neuropeptide secreted by the neurons, and it aggravates colitis. However, the regulatory role of TRPM8 in SP release is still unclear. Our study aimed to investigate TRPM8's role in SP release from primary sensory neurons during colitis and clarify the effect of SP on colonic epithelium. We analyzed inflammatory bowel disease patients' data from the Gene Expression Omnibus dataset. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS, 2.5%)-induced colitis in mice, mouse dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, ND7/23 cell line, and mouse or human colonic organoids were used for this experiment. Our study found that TRPM8, TAC1 and WNT3A expression were significantly correlated with the severity of ulcerative colitis in patients and DSS-induced colitis in mice. The TRPM8 agonist (menthol) and the SP receptor antagonist (Aprepitant) can attenuate colitis in mice, but the effects were not additive. Menthol promoted calcium ion influx in mouse DRG neurons and inhibited the combination and phosphorylation of PKAca from the cAMP signaling pathway and GSK-3ß from the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the effect of Wnt3a-driven ß-catenin on promoting SP release in ND7/23 cells. Long-term stimulation with SP inhibited proliferation and enhanced apoptosis in both mouse and human colonic organoids. Conclusively, TRPM8 inhibits SP release from primary sensory neurons by inhibiting the interaction between PKAca and GSK-3ß, thereby inhibiting the role of SP in promoting colonic epithelial apoptosis and relieving colitis.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 electrolyte solution for fluid therapy in the patients undergoing meningioma resection.Methods:Ninety-two American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of either sex, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, with expected operation duration>3 h, undergoing elective meningioma resection, were divided into 2 groups ( n=46 each) using a random number table method: lactated Ringer′s solution (LR) group and HES group. LR was infused throughout operation in group LR, and 6% HES was intravenously infused in group HES, with the maximum dose not exceeding 50 ml/kg, and the excess part was supplemented with LR. Goal-directed fluid therapy was used to maintain stroke volume variation<13% and mean arterial pressure 70-90 mmHg. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed immediately before anesthesia induction (T 0), when 1 000 and 2 000 ml of fluid were infused (T 1, 2), and at the end of surgery (T 3) to record electrolyte and acid-base balance indexes. Thromboelastogram was simultaneously monitored. The occurrence of electrolyte disorder, acid-base imbalance and abnormal coagulation function and consumption of norepinephrine were recorded. Patients were followed up at 3 and 7 days after surgery, and the Chinese quality of recovery-15 scores were recorded. The hospitalization time and occurrence of brain edema, pulmonary edema, nausea and vomiting were recorded. Results:In group L and group H, 4 cases and 6 cases were excluded due to prolonged operation time, and 42 cases and 40 cases were finally included, respectively. Compared with LR group, the plasma Na + concentration was significantly increased at T 3, the plasma Cl - concentration and pH value were increased at T 1-3, the plasma Ca 2+ concentration was decreased at T 2, 3, reaction time was increased at T 3, coagulation time was increased and maximum amplitude was decreasedat T 2, 3, and coagulation Angle was decreased at T 1-3( P<0.05). No electrolyte disorder and abnormal coagulation function was found in the two groups. There was no statistically significant difference in the consumption of norepinephrine, postoperative Chinese quality of recovery-15 score, length of hospital stay and incidence of alkalosis, pulmonary edema, brain edema, and nausea and vomiting between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of liquid therapy is comparable between HES and LR in the patients undergoing meningioma resection.

In T and S groups, brachial venous blood samples were collected before each stimulation for measurement of the plasma 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) concentration.The Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale-Anxiety subscale (HADS-A) scores at T 0, T 1, T 2, on day 3 after surgery (T 3) and before discharge (T 4) in the 2 groups were recorded.The consumption of anesthetics during operation, laryngeal mask airway removal time, requirement for rescue analgesia within 72 h after surgery and the development of postoperative complications were recorded.The LKDs were followed up by telephone at 3 months after surgery (T 5) to record the scores of HADS-A and Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Sign (LANSS) scale. Results:Compared to group S, the incidence of anxiety was significantly decreased T 1, T 2 and T 3, the incidence of rescue analgesia within 72 h after surgery was decreased, plasma concentration of 5-HT was increased at T 1 and T 2, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was decreased, and the time to first flatus was shortened in group T ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the consumption of anesthetics during operation, laryngeal mask airway removal time, and the incidence of anxiety and neuropathic pain within 3 months after surgery between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:TEAS can relieve early preoperative and postoperative anxiety and alleviate postoperative pain in LKDs.
RESUMEN
This work aimed to investigate the intestinal absorption characteristics of Laportea bulbifera extract in normal and rheumatoid arthritis model rats. The contents of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, rutin, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, galuteolin, quercetin and isoquercetin in intestinal absorption solution samples were detected by UPLC-MS/MS with 5.0 g·L~(-1) as the absorption concentration. The cumulative absorption(Q) and absorption rate constant(K_a) were calculated, and the absorption characteristics of different components of L. bulbifera in intestinal absorption solution of normal rats and rheumatoid arthritis rats were compared. The results showed that all the eight index components in the extract of L. bulbifera could be absorbed into the intestinal capsule, the cumulative absorption-time curve of each component showed an upward trend without saturation, and the correlation regression coefficient(R~2) was greater than 0.92, which is consistent with the zero-order absorption rate process. It was speculated that the possible absorption mode of each component was passive diffusion. In normal condition, the absorption of ileum was the best(except chlorogenic acid), and in pathological condition, duodenum was the best. The total absorption of 8 components in each intestinal segment of RA rats was better than that of normal rats, which speculated that rheumatoid arthritis may change the specific site of drug absorption. The experimental results showed that rheumatoid arthritis could change the intestinal absorption of the extract of L. bulbifera, and its mechanism needs further study.

This study aims to reveal the pharmacokinetics of Shuganning Injection in normal rats. In this experiment,ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry( UPLC-ESI-MS/MS) was used to establish an analytical method for simultaneous determination of chlorogenic acid,gardenioside,oroxylin A and baicalin in rat plasma. Then,the non-compartmental model( NCA) in Phoenix WinN onL in 6. 4 software was used to fit pharmacokinetic parameters. The methodological validation showed that the linear relationship of the components in rat plasma samples were good( r>0. 995). The recovery rate and matrix effect of plasma samples with low,middle and high concentration were 79. 14%-101. 4%. The intra-day and inter-day precision,accuracy and stability meet the requirements of biological sample analysis. The half-life( t1/2) of chlorogenic acid,gardenioside,oroxylin A did not change significantly and the area under blood concentration-time curve( AUC0-t) is proportional to the dose,which suggested that three components showed a linear kinetic characteristics,but baicalin showed nonlinear kinetic characteristics. Moreover,the retention time of each component in rats was short. The established UPLC-MS/MS quantitative analysis method is rapid,sensitive and accurate,which can be used for the determination of chlorogenic acid,gardenioside,oroxylin A and baicalin in rat plasma and pharmacokinetic study of Shuganning Injection.

Objective To compare the effects of different anesthetics on the recovery of neurologi-cal function after intracranial aneurysm embolization. Methods One hundred patients of both sexes with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, aged more than 18 yr, with body mass index of 18. 5-24. 0 kg∕m2 , of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ and WFNS grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ, with the thick-ness of subarachnoid hemorrhage more than 4 cm, were divided into 2 groups (n= 50 each) using a random number table: propofol group (group P) and sevoflurane group (group S). After anesthesia induction, group P received intravenous infusion of propofol 100-300 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 , while the end-tidal sevoflu-rane concentration was maintained at 1. 4%-3. 5% in group S. Immediately before induction (T0 ), imme-diately after the end of induction (T1 ), immediately after successful embolization of aneurysm (T2 ) and at 1, 2, 3 and 5 days after surgery (T3-6 ), central venous blood samples were collected for determination of plasma neuron-specific enolase and S100β protein concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The development of postoperative cerebral vasospasm and delayed ischemic neurological deficit was recorded. The patients were followed up, and the Glasgow outcome score and occurrence of newly developed cerebral infarction were recorded within 6 months after surgery. Results There was no significant difference in the concentrations of plasma neuron-specific enolase and S100β protein at each time point, incidence of postop-erative cerebral vasospasm and delayed ischemic neurological deficit, or Glasgow outcome score and inci-dence of newly developed cerebral infarction within 6 months after surgery between two groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion Propofol and sevoflurane exert no effect on the recovery of neurological function after intracra-nial aneurysm embolization.
RESUMEN
AIM: To study the clinical curative effect of 2mm micro incision phacoemulsification combined with 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy for cataract and vitreoretinal diseases.METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 92 patients (99 eyes),including 49 male (53 eyes),43 female (46 eyes) with mean age was 57.1±1.9 years,in our hospital for cataract and vitreoretinal treatment of the disease from February 2013 to February 2016.All patients underwent 2mm micro incision phacoemulsification combined with 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy.Curative effect and complications were observed.RESULTS: Combined surgical procedures were carried out smoothly.posterior capsule rupture did not occurred.seven eyes were filled with BSS fluid,46 eyes with C3F8,49 eyes with intraocular lens at phase Ⅰ,21 eyes placed intraocular lens when silicone oil was removed.The visual acuity improved in 84 eyes (85%),unchaged in 15 eyes (15%).Postoperative complications included transient high intraocular pressure in 18 eyes (18%),anterior chamber reaction in 7 eyes (7%) and corneal edema in 8 eyes (8%).CONCLUSION: The 2mm micro incision phacoemulsification combined with 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy is a safe and effective surgical method with less injury,fewer complications.
RESUMEN
Objective To determine the median effective target plasma concentration (EC50) of remifentanil inhibiting responses to skull-pin placement when combined with propofol in the female patients undergoing neurosurgery.Methods Sixteen female patients,aged 20-60 yr,with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective neurosurgery under general anesthesia,were enrolled in this study.Anesthesia was induced with propofol and remifentanil given by target-controlled infusion and iv rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg.The target plasma concentration (Cp) of remifentanil and propofol was set at 5 ng/ml and 3 μg/ml,respectively.At 3 min after tracheal intubation,the target Cp of remifentanil was adjusted and set at 5 ng/ml in the first patient.The skull-pin was placed after the target effect-site and plasma concentrations were balanced.The Cp increased/decreased by 20% each time in the next patient depending on whether or not the response to skull-pin placement was positive.The ratio between the two successive concentrations was 1.2.The response to skull-pin placement was defined as positive when heart rate and/or mean arterial pressure increased by 20% of the baseline value within 1 min after placement.The EC50 and 95% confidence interval of remifentanil required to inhibit responses to skull-pin placement were calculated when combined with propofol.Results The EC50 (95% confidence interval) of remifentanil required to inhibit responses to skull-pin placement was 3.74 (3.43-4.09) ng/ml when combined with propofol.Conclusion When combined with propofol,the EC50 of remifentanil inhibiting responses to skull-pin placement is 3.74 ng/ml in the female patients undergoing neurosurgery.
