Elevated air temperature damage to photosynthetic apparatus alleviated by enhanced cyclic electron flow around photosystem I in tobacco leaves.

High temperature can lead to increased production of excess light energy, thus reducing photosynthetic capacity in plants. Photosynthetic cyclic electron flow (CEF) in photosystem I (PSI) can effectively protect photosystems, but its physiological mechanism under high temperature is poorly understood. In this study, antimycin A (AA) and thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA) were used to inhibit PGR5-and NDH-dependent CEF pathways, respectively, to reveal the photoprotective functions of CEF for PSII in tobacco leaves under high temperature stress (37 °C, HT). High temperatures caused decreases in maximal photochemistry efficiency (Fv/Fm) and damaged photosystem II (PSII) in tobacco leaves. Under AA inhibition of PGR5-dependent CEF, high temperature increased the fluorescence intensity of point O (Fo) in OJIP curves, i.e., the energy absorption per active reaction center (ABS/RC), the trapping rate of the reaction center (TRo/RC), and the electron transport efficiency per reaction center (ETo/RC) in tobacco leaves. High temperature induced an increase in the hydrogen peroxide content and a decrease in pigment content in tobacco leaves. Under the high temperature treatment, inhibition of PGR5-dependent CEF reduced the activities of the PSII reaction center significantly, destroyed the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC), and impeded photosynthetic electron transfer from PSII to the plastoquinone (PQ) pool in tobacco leaves. The TTFA treatment inhibited the NDH-dependent pathway under high temperature conditions, with the relative fluorescence intensity of point I (VI) decreased significantly, and the content of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion increased significantly. Additionally, Fo and the redox degree of the PSII donor side (Wk) increased, and pigment content decreased compared to the control, but with little change compared to high temperature treatment, indicating that the inhibition of the NDH-dependent pathway directly weakened the capacity of the PQ pool to lead to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tobacco leaves. In conclusion, CEF alleviated damage to the photosynthetic apparatus in tobacco leaves by increasing PSII heat dissipation, reducing ROS production, and maintaining the stability of the PQ pool to accommodate photosynthetic electron flow.

Abscisic acid plays a key role in the mechanism of photosynthetic and physiological response effect of Tetrabromobisphenol A on tobacco.

The toxicity of bromide to animals and microorganisms has been widely studied, but the mechanism by which bromide toxicity affects plants is rarely studied. This study used the bromophenol compound Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) as a representative of bromide to explore the physiological and molecular response mechanism of tobacco leaves to TBBPA. In addition, physiological determination, transcriptomics, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) analysis, and random forest prediction model were conducted. The findings from this study indicated that TBBPA limited the photoreaction process by destroying the light-catching antenna protein of tobacco leaves, the activity of the photosystem reaction centers (PSII and PSI), and the linear electron transport efficiency. TBBPA also reduced the rate of the Calvin-Benson cycle by inhibiting the activities of gene such as Rubisco, PGK, and TPI, and finally destroyed the photosynthesis process. Although cyclic electron transport was enhanced under stress conditions, it could not reverse the damage caused by TBBPA on photosynthesis. TBBPA exposure resulted in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tobacco leaves, and the activities of Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and their coding genes were significantly down-regulated. Although POD activity and proline (Pro) content were increased, they were insufficient to remove excess O2·- free radicals to relieve ROS stress. WCGNA and random forest models predicted that the damage of TBBPA to the above processes in tobacco was closely related to the increase in abscisic acid (ABA) content. TBBPA affects the Calvin cycle by inducing ABA signal transduction and stomatal closure, which leads to a series of chain reactions, such as electron transport chain obstruction, excess of ROS, decrease in chlorophyll synthesis, and photosystem reaction center damage.

Research progress on environmental heavy metal exposure during pregnancy and children's physical development level and growth trajectory / 环境与职业医学

Low-level exposure to environmental heavy metals during pregnancy is common, and the effects of such exposure on the growth and development of the fetus may continue after birth. In this paper, we reviewed the epidemiological studies on heavy metal exposure during pregnancy and children's physical development at home and abroad in recent years, focusing on the associations between four common heavy metals, namely, cadmium, mercury, lead, and arsenic, and children's physical development levels and growth trajectories. The results of existing studies showed that cadmium and mercury exposure during pregnancy was associated with early childhood obesity, lead exposure during pregnancy may lead to dual effects of childhood obesity and growth retardation, and arsenic exposure during pregnancy was associated with childhood growth retardation. At the same time, cadmium and lead exposure during pregnancy had a more significant effect on boys, and there was a sex effect. Most studies of children's growth trajectory showed that exposure to cadmium, arsenic, and lead during pregnancy was often associated with lower childhood body mass index (BMI)/weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ) and height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) growth trajectories, even into adolescence, where the first trimester and the third trimester may be critical windows for cadmium and lead exposure, respectively. The results of mercury exposure during pregnancy associated with children's growth trajectories were controversial due to differences in methods for evaluating mercury exposure. In addition, there may be certain combined effects of mixed exposure to heavy metals during pregnancy on the physical growth and development of children. There is still a need to further elucidate the effects of single metal and multiple heavy metal interactions on children's physical development by combining population-based epidemiological studies with multiple sample sources and time points, and to strengthen basic research to broaden the new understanding of involved mechanisms.

Clinical comprehensive evaluation of three oral Janus kinase inhibitors for atopic dermatitis / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To comprehensively evaluate the three oral Janus kinase inhibitors （JAKi） such as upadacitinib， abrocitinib and baricitinib in the treatment of atopic dermatitis. METHODS The six dimensions of safety， efficacy， economy， appropriateness， accessibility and innovativeness were used for evaluation. Meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three oral JAKi； pharmacoeconomic studies were searched， and the treatment costs were calculated to evaluate the economy of each JAKi. Appropriateness was described based on literature review and drug labels. Accessibility of three oral JAKi was assessed by using a questionnaire survey. The innovation of JAKi was elucidated from the perspective of its mechanism of action. RESULTS In terms of safety， the incidence of upper respiratory tract infection （OR＝1.47， 95%CI of 1.04-2.08， P＝0.03） and nasopharyngitis （OR＝1.44， 95%CI of 1.06-1.95， P＝0.02） in the upadacitinib 30 mg group was significantly higher than that in the placebo group； the incidence of nasopharyngitis in baricitinib 4 mg group was significantly higher than that in the placebo group （OR＝2.24， 95%CI of 1.39-3.61， P＝0.000 8） and baricitinib 2 mg group （OR＝0.48， 95%CI of 0.31-0.74，P＝0.001）. In terms of efficacy， regardless of the dosage， all three JAKi groups were superior to the placebo group， and the high-dose groups of upadacitinib and abrocitinib were superior to the low-dose groups （P＜0.000 1）. In terms of economy， the annual treatment cost of baricitinib was the lowest （13 870.0 yuan）， but it has not been approved for atopic dermatitis indication in China； next was upadacitinib （27 192.5 yuan）. In terms of appropriateness， the overall appropriateness of the three JAKis was good， but none of them was suitable for patients with severe liver injury. In terms of accessibility， baricitinib had the highest availability rate （59.4%）， but the affordability of upadacitinib was relatively good under China’s medical insurance system. In terms of innovation， among the three types of JAKi， upadacitinib and abrocitinib had better innovation. CONCLUSIONS Three oral JAKi treatments for atopic dermatitis have controllable safety and good efficacy. Considering the issue of medical insurance reimbursement， it is recommended that Chinese patients use upadacitinib.

Progress on factors affecting gastrointestinal function and drug protection in high altitude hypoxia environment / 药学实践与服务

Due to factors such as low pressure, low oxygen and cold in the plateau environment, people who enter the plateau rapidly are susceptible to digestive system diseases, such as upper abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting and other gastrointestinal dysfunction, which seriously affect the health and work ability of people who enter the plateau rapidly. The gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by the rapid advance to the plateau is mainly reflected in three aspects: gastrointestinal motility dysfunction, impaired mucosal barrier function, and intestinal flora imbalance. At present, the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal dysfunction is still not very clear, and there are fewer drugs for targeted prevention and treatment. Gastrointestinal hormones, oxygen free radicals, inflammatory factors, intestinal flora and other factors, as well as the protective effects of related drugs were reviewed in this paper to provide treatment options and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of the gastrointestinal emergency response caused by entering the plateau.

Establishment and Validation of Clinical Prediction Model for 1-year MACEs Risk After PCI in CHD Patients with Blood Stasis Syndrome / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo establish and validate a clinical prediction model for 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events（MACEs）risk after percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） in coronary heart disease （CHD） patients with blood stasis syndrome. MethodThe consecutive CHD patients diagnosed with blood stasis syndrome in the Department of Integrative Cardiology at China-Japan Friendship Hospital from September 1， 2019 to March 31， 2021 were selected for a retrospective study， and basic clinical features and relevant indicators were collected. Eligible patients were classified into a derivation set and a validation set at a ratio of 7∶3， and each set was further divided into a MACEs group and a non-MACEs group. The factors affecting the outcomes were screened out by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator （Lasso） and used to establish a logistic regression model and identify independent prediction variables. The goodness-of-fit of the model was evaluated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test， and the area under curve （AUC） of the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve， calibration curve， decision curve analysis （DCA）， and clinical impact curve （CIC） were employed to evaluate the discrimination， calibration， and clinical impact of the model. ResultA total of 731 consecutive patients were assessed and 404 eligible patients were enrolled， including 283 patients in the derivation set and 121 patients in the validation set. Lasso identified ten variables influencing outcomes， which included age， sex， fasting plasma glucose （FPG）， triglyceride （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， homocysteine （Hcy）， brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity （baPWV）， flow-mediated dilatation （FMD）， left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF）， and Gensini score. The multivariate Logistic regression preliminarily identified age， FPG， TG， Hcy， LDL-C， LVEF， and Gensini score as the independent variables that influenced the outcomes. Of these variables， male， high FMD and high LVEF were protective factors， and the rest were risk factors. The prediction model for 1-year MACEs risk after PCI in CHD patients with blood stasis syndrome showed χ2=12.371 （P=0.14） in Hosmer-Lemeshow test and the AUC of 0.90. With the threshold probability > 10%， the model showed better prediction performance for 1-year MACEs risk after PCI in CHD patients with blood stasis syndrome than for that in all the patients. With the threshold probability > 60%， the estimated value was much closer to the real number of patients. ConclusionThe established clinical prediction model facilitates the early prediction of 1-year MACEs risk after PCI in CHD patients with blood stasis syndrome， which can provide ideas for the precise treatment of CHD patients after PCI and has guiding significance for improving the prognosis of the patients. Meanwhile， multi-center studies with larger sample sizes are expected to further validate， improve， and update the model.

Objective To investigate the effects of microRNA497 (miR-497) on the metastasis of gastric cancer and its possible molecular mechanism. Methods SGC-7901 gastric cancer parent cells were cultured in an ultra-low adhesion environment, and the anoikis resistance model of SGC-7901 cells was created after re-adhesion. Clone formation assay, flow cytometry, TranswellTM test and scratch healing test were used to detect the differences of biological behavior compared with their parent cells. Fluorescence quantitative PCR was performed to detect the expression of miR-497. Western blot analysis was used to detect the changes of key proteins of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT) related proteins such as vimentin and E-cadherin. Parent cells and anoikis resistant SGC-7901 cells were transfected with miR-497 inhibitor or miR-497 mimic, and CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferation activity. TranswellTM invasion assay was performed to detect the invasion ability of cells. TranswellTM migration test and scratch healing assay was used to determine the migration ability. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expressions of Wnt1, β-catenin, vimentin and E-cadherin. By transfecting miR-497 mimic into the anoikis resistance SGC-7901 cells and inoculating them subcutaneously in nude mice, the changes in the volume and mass of tumor tissues were measured and recorded. Western blot analysis was used to determine the expressions of Wnt1, β-catenin, vimentin and E-cadherin of tumor tissues. Results Compared with the parent cells, the anoikis resistance SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells had faster proliferation rate, stronger colony formation, lower apoptosis rate, stronger invasion and migration ability. The expression of miR-497 was significantly decreased. After down-regulation of miR-497, the proliferation ability, invasion and migration ability were significantly enhanced. The expressions of Wnt1, β-catenin and vimentin increased significantly, while E-cadherin decreased notably. The results of up-regulation miR-497 were the opposite. The tumor growth rate, tumor volume and mass of miR-497 overexpression group were significantly lower than those of control group. The expressions of Wnt1, β-catenin and vimentin decreased significantly, while the expression of E-cadherin increased significantly. Conclusion The expression of miR-497 is low in the anoikis resistance SGC-7901 cells. miR-497 can inhibit the growth and metastasis of gastric cancer cells by blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and EMT.

Conclusion:the Internet diversified rehabilitation medicine education has a significant effect on improving the self-efficacy of new breast cancer patients, and can improve the quality of life of patients.

Anti-hypoxic pharmacological effects of betelnut polyphenols / 中南大学学报(医学版)

Areca catechu L. medicinal materials and their preparations are widely used in clinical practice. Betelnut polyphenol is one of the main chemical components with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects. With continuous increase of high altitude activities, tissue oxidative damage caused by high altitude hypoxia seriously affects the ability to work, and the studies on anti-hypoxia drugs are particularly important. Recent studies have shown that betelnut polyphenols have protective effects on oxidative stress injury caused by hypoxia via improving blood gas index of hypoxic organism, increasing superoxide dismutase glutathione catalase activity, and scavenging excessive free radicals. The effects of betelnut polyphenols against hypoxia and oxidative damage protection suggest that betelnut polyphenols can be used as potential anti-hypoxia drugs and posses clinical prospects.

Significance of endoscopic exposure of circummammary ligament under endoscopy and the effect of membrane anatomy in breast reconstruction / 国际外科学杂志

Objective:To explore the significance of exposing the circummammary ligament under endoscopy and the effect of membrane anatomy in breast reconstruction.Methods:The case data of 49 breast cancer patients who underwent endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy combined with one-stage breast reconstruction with prosthesis implantation in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from February 2014 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, there were 44 cases of posterior pectoralis prosthesis implantation, 5 cases of anterior pectoralis prosthesis implantation. The anatomical structure of the circummammary ligament was observed under endoscopy during operation, and the annular mammary ligament was used as an anatomical marker to complete subcutaneous glandectomy and prosthesis implantation for breast reconstruction, the BREAST-Q scales were used to evaluate the postoperative effect.Results:The medial sternal ligament, sub clavicular ligament, lateral confluence ligament and triangular ligament condensation could be clearly exposed in all 49 cases. Breast reconstruction module of BREAST-Q were used to evaluate the surgery effect after breast cancer surgery, the scores of postoperative breast satisfaction, chest wall status, psychosocial status and sexual health status were 81.43±12.57, 88.39±10.61, 88.04±13.70, 74.82±15.93.Conclusion:The endoscopic technique is beneficial to expose the circummammary ligament during operation, and surgical resection and reconstruction can better restore the appearance of the breast and improve postoperative satisfaction according to the principle of membrane anatomy.
