Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the dosimetric difference between manual and inverse optimization in 3-dimensional (3D) brachytherapy for gynecologic tumors. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted among a total of 110 patients with gynecologic tumors undergoing intracavitary combined with interstitial brachytherapy or interstitial brachytherapy. Based on the original images, the brachytherapy plans were optimized for each patient using Gro, IPSA1, IPSA2 (with increased volumetric dose limits on the basis of IPSA1) and HIPO algorithms. The dose-volume histogram (DVH) parameters of the clinical target volume (CTV) including V200, V150, V100, D90, D98 and CI, and the dosimetric parameters D2cc, D1cc, and D0.1cc for the bladder, rectum, and sigmoid colon were compared among the 4 plans. RESULTS Among the 4 plans, Gro optimization took the longest time, followed by HIPO, IPSA2 and IPSA1 optimization. The mean D90, D98, and V100 of HIPO plans were significantly higher than those of Gro and IPSA plans, and D90 and V100 of IPSA1, IPSA2 and HIPO plans were higher than those of Gro plans (P < 0.05), but the CI of the 4 plans were similar (P > 0.05). For the organs at risk (OARs), the HIPO plan had the lowest D2cc of the bladder and rectum; the bladder absorbed dose of Gro plans were significantly greater than those of IPSA1 and HIPO (P < 0.05). The D2cc and D1cc of the rectum in IPSA1, IPSA2 and HIPO plans were better than Gro (P < 0.05). The D2cc and D1cc of the sigmoid colon did not differ significantly among the 4 plans. CONCLUSION Among the 4 algorithms, the HIPO algorithm can better improve dose coverage of the target and lower the radiation dose of the OARs, and is thus recommended for the initial plan optimization. Clinically, the combination of manual optimization can achieve more individualized dose distribution of the plan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to establish an intelligent segmentation algorithm to count the number of deep medullary veins (DMVs) and analyze the relationship between DMVs and imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). METHODS DMVs on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with CSVD were counted by intelligent segmentation and manual counting. The dice coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to evaluate their consistency and correlation. Structural MR images were used to assess imaging markers and total burden of CSVD. A multivariate linear regression model was used to evaluate the correlation between the number of DMVs counted by intelligent segmentation and imaging markers of CSVD, including white matter hyperintensities of the presumed vascular origin, lacune, perivascular spaces, cerebral microbleeds, and total CSVD burden. RESULTS A total of 305 patients with CSVD were enrolled. An intelligent segmentation algorithm was established to calculate the number of DMVs, and it was validated and tested. The number of DMVs counted intelligently significantly correlated with the manual counting method (r = 0.761, P< 0.001). The number of smart-counted DMVs negatively correlated with the imaging markers and total burden of CSVD (P< 0.001), and the correlation remained after adjusting for age and hypertension (P< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The proposed intelligent segmentation algorithm, which was established to count DMVs, can provide objective and quantitative imaging information for the follow-up of patients with CSVD. DMVs are involved in CSVD pathogenesis and a likely new imaging marker for CSVD.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze genioglossus (GG) activation responses to the negative pressure of upper airway cavity during awake and different sleep stages in patients with different obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) graduation. Methods: This prospective cohort study started from August 2019 to January 2021, recruited 42 male OSA patients aged from 21 to 59 (38.77±8.42) years. After completing whole night polysomnography (PSG) and upper airway CT, each subject underwent drug-induced sleep with simultaneous monitoring of genioglossal electromyography (GGEMG) and pressure of epiglottis (Pepi). Subjects were divided into three groups of mild OSA(7 males), moderate OSA(12 males), and severe OSA(23 males). The differences in upper airway CT measurements, parameters of GGEMG and Pepi during awake and induced sleep were compared. Statistical analysis was conducted by SPSS 21.0. Results: There was no significant difference in the GGEMG parameters between the mild and moderate groups. In wakefulness, the peak phasic GGEMG of the severe group was higher than the mild group (t=1.249, P=0.025), with no statistically difference in the corresponding Pepi. In the sleep onset, the GGEMG parameters and Pepi in severe group were higher than the other two groups. Linear regression analysis of the maximum GGEMG and maximum Pepi at the end of obstructive apnea (OA) in all moderate plus severe patients (n=35) was shown nonlinear correlation (r=0.28, P=0.694). The airway length of the glossopharyngeal cavity was linearly correlated with the maximum Pepi of OA (r=0.468, R2=0.219, P=0.005). Conclusions: The individual difference of GG activation in OSA patients is related to the severity of the disease (frequency of respiratory events) and negative pressure stimulation. In moderate and severe OSA patients, GG activity is not in harmony with the corresponding negative pressure stimulation, which may be one of the mechanisms leading to the aggravation of OSA.

Abstract
Low back pain is usually caused by intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), during which the involvement of oxidation system imbalance and inflammasome activation cannot be neglected. In this study, we aimed to validate the expression level of TXNIP in IVDD and investigate the function and potential mechanism of action of verapamil. TXNIP is upregulated in the degenerate nucleus pulposus in both humans and rats, as well as in tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-stimulated nucleus pulposus cells. Administration of verapamil, a classic clinical drug, mitigated the TBHP-induced overproduction of reactive oxygen species and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, thus protecting cells from pyroptosis, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix degradation. The Nrf2/TXNIP/NLRP3 axis plays a major role in verapamail-mediated protection. In vivo, a puncture-induced IVDD rat model was constructed, and we found that verapamil delayed the development of IVDD at both the imaging and histological levels. In summary, our results indicate the potential therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action of verapamil in the treatment of IVDD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP) remains one of the major digestive emergencies with increasing health risks. Oral refeeding tolerant (ORT) and enteral tube feeding tolerant (ETFT) are commonly used for nutritional management in HLAP. However, the differences between ORT and ETFT are yet to be characterized. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included consecutive patients admitted to the Ordos Central Hospital between January 2019 and April 2023, with predefined inclusion criteria. RESULTS A total of 335 HLAP patients were recruited according to the inclusion criteria. 268 patients were diagnosed with moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP), of which 193 were in the OFT group and 75 in the ETFT group. In the ETFT group, abdominal pain and abdominal distension were significantly higher than that in the OFT group. No significant result was identified in the laboratory data. However, the OFT group showed a higher hospitalization and cost, as well as exocrine insufficiency and newly onset diabetes, than the ETFT group. CONCLUSIONS Based on the incidence of HLAP retrieved in this study, MSAP is the major type with increasing clinical value. From the nutritional management sense, patients who received OFT showed higher hospitalization and cost, as well as lower exocrine insufficiency and newly onset diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) High grade gliomas (HGGs) are aggressive brain tumors with altered cellular metabolism. HGGs can carry mutations in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1), conferring distinct biology and improved patient prognosis compared to IDH wildtype (wt) tumors. Using metabolomic analyses of tumor tissue, we previously showed that IDH wt and IDH mutant (IDH mut) tumors have unique metabolomic signatures that correlate with different survival outcomes. Among this cohort of 69 HGG samples, we identified two unique patient tumors that metabolically clustered with IDH mut tumors, but lacked both the IDH mutation and its product 2-hydroxyglutarate. We aimed to discover unique mutations in these two tumors that may impart an IDH mutant-like phenotype in the absence of an IDH1 or IDH2 mutation. MATERIALS/METHODS Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on frozen tumor samples from two patients diagnosed as glioblastoma (GBM), IDH wt via Agilent v5 + IncRNA platform. Alignment to the hg38 genome and variant calling were completed using an accelerated implementation of GATK's BWA and MuTect2 algorithms from Sentieon. Variants were filtered based on supporting reads and variant allele thresholds, with synonymous variants and common SNPs removed. High-confidence variants were further filtered by membership in the four KEGG pathways associated with IDH1 and IDH2. Identified variants were corroborated with metabolomics data from the two unique IDH wt tumors compared with classical GBM IDH wt, oligodendrogliomas IDH mut and astrocytomas IDH mut to identify putative drivers of an IDH mutant-like metabolomic phenotype in these unique IDH wt tumors. RESULTS Despite the lack of an IDH mutation, one patient survived 45.6 months and the other patient remains alive at last follow up 64 months post diagnosis, much longer than the 16-18-month median survival typical of patients with GBM IDH wt. WES of outlier IDH wt tumor samples revealed 65 unique mutations in the queried KEGG pathways, of which 34 had a variant allele frequency > = 0.15. These variants were processed in Gprofiler, confirming expected enrichment of the carboxylic acid metabolic biologic process, a functional gene set consisting of TCA genes, among these variants (p = 0.002, 3.6-fold enrichment). Accordingly, metabolite levels of intermediates of the TCA cycle, including malate and isocitrate were decreased in the outlier tumor samples compared to classic GBMs IDH wt (p<0.001). Presence of genetic alterations in key variants of the carboxylic acid metabolic biologic process (including ME1, GYP4F3, PTGIS, PFKL, PSPH, AKR1A1, HK2, NOS1) correlated with improved overall survival among GBM patients in the TCGA (p = 0.04). Laboratory validation of these findings in preclinical GBM models is ongoing. CONCLUSION Disruption of the TCA cycle independent of an IDH mutation is associated with favorable survival in GBM. Pharmacologic inhibition of these pathways may be a promising strategy to improve GBM outcomes.

Abstract
Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SEMD) is a rare disease in which cartilage growth is disrupted, and the DDRGK1 mutation is one of the causative genes. In our study, we established Ddrgk1fl/fl, Col2a1-ERT Cre mice, which showed a thickened hypertrophic zone (HZ) in the growth plate, simulating the previous reported SEMD pathology in vivo. Instead of the classical modulation mechanism towards SOX9, our further mechanism study found that DDRGK1 stabilizes the stress sensor endoplasmic reticulum-to-nucleus signaling 1 (IRE1α) to maintain endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homoeostasis. The loss of DDRGK1 decreased the UFMylation and subsequently led to increased ubiquitylation-mediated IRE1α degradation, causing ER dysfunction and activating the PERK/CHOP/Caspase3 apoptosis pathway. Further DDRGK1 K268R-mutant mice revealed the importance of K268 UFMylation site in IRE1α degradation and subsequent ER dysfunction. In conclusion, DDRGK1 stabilizes IRE1α to ameliorate ER stress and following apoptosis in chondrocytes, which finally promote the normal chondrogenesis.

Abstract
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a metabolic bone disease that manifests as developmental abnormalities in bone and dental tissues. HPP patients exhibit hypo-mineralization and osteopenia due to the deficiency or malfunction of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate-containing molecules outside the cells, promoting the deposition of hydroxyapatite in the extracellular matrix. Despite the identification of hundreds of pathogenic TNAP mutations, the detailed molecular pathology of HPP remains unclear. Here, to address this issue, we determine the crystal structures of human TNAP at near-atomic resolution and map the major pathogenic mutations onto the structure. Our study reveals an unexpected octameric architecture for TNAP, which is generated by the tetramerization of dimeric TNAPs, potentially stabilizing the TNAPs in the extracellular environments. Moreover, we use cryo-electron microscopy to demonstrate that the TNAP agonist antibody (JTALP001) forms a stable complex with TNAP by binding to the octameric interface. The administration of JTALP001 enhances osteoblast mineralization and promoted recombinant TNAP-rescued mineralization in TNAP knockout osteoblasts. Our findings elucidate the structural pathology of HPP and highlight the therapeutic potential of the TNAP agonist antibody for osteoblast-associated bone disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify sex-specific biomarkers for ischemic stroke (IS) prophylaxis in elderly individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS The GSE22255 dataset for elderly individuals with IS was retrieved from the gene expression omnibus database. Thereafter, gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed, as well as gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Furthermore, protein-protein interactions (PPIs) were explored using the STRING database, and to screen central genes from the Cytoscape PPI network, corresponding to peripheral blood samples from elderly individuals, we used the molecular complex detection plug-in and cytoHubba. Moreover, a Venn diagram was used to visualize the key genes common among elderly women and men with IS. Statistical analysis was also performed, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of the prediction of IS in the elderly. RESULTS Compared with the healthy controls, in elderly women with IS, 511 biological process (BP) terms, 16 molecular function (MF) terms, and 34 KEGG terms were significantly enriched, whereas in the elderly men with IS, 681 BP terms, 12 MF terms, and 44 KEGG terms were enriched. The GSEA revealed 99 and 140 significantly enriched gene sets in elderly women and men with IS, respectively. Furthermore, in the PPI network, 10 hub genes for each sex with high specificity and sensitivity were identified using ROC curves. CONCLUSIONS Ten genes for each sex with significant differential expression were also identified in individuals with IS. The novel sex-specific gene targets may be promising diagnostic or prognostic markers and potential therapeutic targets for IS in the elderly.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the risk and influencing factors of long-term mortality of valvular heart disease (VHD) adults aged 35 years and over in Chinese communities. Methods: A cohort study was carried out. The data of the subjects who underwent echocardiography were collected from the Chinese Hypertension Survey between 2012 and 2015 and survival outcomes were followed up between 2018 and 2019. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted and compared using log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the influence of VHD on mortality. Results: During an average follow-up time of (4.6±0.9) years, a total of 23 237 participants (10 881 males and 12 356 females) were pooled into the final analysis from 5 eastern, 5 central, and 4 western provinces, cities and autonomous regions in China, with a mean age of (56.9±13.2) years. Among the included participants, 1 004 had VHD (467 males and 537 females), with a mean age was of (68.1±12.6) years. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, participants with VHD had a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality (log-rank χ2=351.82, P<0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (log-rank χ2=284.14, P<0.001) compared with those without VHD. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that compared with those without VHD, the participants with rheumatic VHD had a 45% increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR=1.45, 95%CI: 1.12-1.89) and degenerative VHD increased the risk of cardiovascular mortality by 69% (HR=1.69, 95%CI: 1.19-2.38). The risk factors of cardiovascular mortality for VHD were age 55 years and over (55-<75 years: HR=4.93, 95%CI: 1.17-20.85;≥75 years: HR=11.92, 95%CI: 2.85-49.80) and diabetes mellitus (HR=1.71, 95%CI: 1.00-2.93). Conclusions: VHD is a risk factor of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality among adults aged 35 years and over. Age 55 years and over and diabetes mellitus are adverse prognostic factors for patients with VHD.

Abstract
Chemoresistance is the main obstacle in osteosarcoma (OS) treatment; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, it is discovered that DDRGK domain-containing protein 1 (DDRGK1) plays a fundamental role in chemoresistance induced in OS. Bioinformatic and tissue analyses indicate that higher expression of DDRGK1 correlates with advanced tumor stage and poor clinical prognosis of OS. Quantitative proteomic analyses suggest that DDRGK1 plays a critical role in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. DDRGK1 knockout trigger the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and attenuate the stability of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a major antioxidant response element. Furthermore, DDRGK1 inhibits ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated degradation of NRF2 via competitive binding to the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) protein, which recruits NRF2 to CULLIN(CUL3). DDRGK1 knockout attenuates NRF2 stability, contributing to ROS accumulation, which promotes apoptosis and enhanced chemosensitivity to doxorubicin (DOX) and etoposide in cancer cells. Indeed, DDRGK1 knockout significantly enhances osteosarcoma chemosensitivity to DOX in vivo. The combination of DDRGK1 knockdown and DOX treatment provides a promising new avenue for the effective treatment of OS.

Abstract
Drought is one of the most adverse environmental stresses limiting plant growth and productivity. However, the underlying mechanisms regarding metabolism of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) in source and sink organs are still not fully elucidated in woody trees. Saplings of mulberry cv Zhongshen1 and Wubu were subjected to a 15-day progressive drought stress. NSC levels and gene expression involved in NSC metabolism were investigated in roots and leaves. Growth performance and photosynthesis, leaf stomatal morphology, and other physiological parameters were also analysed. Under well-watered conditions, Wubu had a higher R/S, with higher NSC in leaves than in roots; Zhongshen1 had a lower R/S with higher NSC in roots than leaves. Under drought stress, Zhongshen1 showed decreased productivity and increased proline, abscisic acid, ROS content and activity of antioxidant enzymes, while Wubu sustained comparable productivity and photosynthesis. Interestingly, drought resulted in decreased starch and slightly increased soluble sugars in leaves of Wubu, accompanied by notable downregulation of starch-synthesizing genes and upregulation of starch-degrading genes. Similar patterns in NSC levels and relevant gene expression were also observed in roots of Zhongshen1. Concurrently, soluble sugars decreased and starch was unchanged in roots of Wubu and leaves of Zhongshen1. However, gene expression of starch metabolism in roots of Wubu was unaltered, but in leaves of Zhongshen1 starch metabolism was more activated. These findings revealed that intrinsic R/S and spatial distribution of NSC in roots and leaves concomitantly contribute to drought resistance in mulberry.

Abstract
Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused several pandemic peaks worldwide due to its high variability and infectiousness, and COVID-19 has become a long-standing global public health problem. There is growing evidence that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) frequently causes multi-organ injuries and more severe neurological manifestations. Therefore, increased awareness of possible neurological complications is beneficial in preventing and mitigating the impact of long-term sequelae and improving the prognostic outcome of critically ill patients with COVID-19. Here, we review the main pathways of SARS-CoV-2 neuroinvasion and the potential mechanisms causing neurological damage. We also discuss in detail neurological complications, aiming to provide cutting-edge basis for subsequent related basic research and clinical studies of diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of albuminuria in Chinese residents aged >35 years and its potential association with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods: A total of 34 647 Chinese subjects aged ≥35 years were selected by stratified multi-stage random sampling from 2012 to 2015. Data were collected through questionnaires, physical examinations, and laboratory tests. Albuminuria was categorized into 3 types according to urinary albumin-to- creatinine ratio: normal (<30 mg/g), microalbuminuria (MAU, 30-300 mg/g), and macroalbuminuria (≥300 mg/g). Measurement data were expressed as x¯±s, and t-tests were used for comparisons between indicators. Qualitative data were expressed as rate or constituent ratio, and the χ2 test or Kruskal-Wallis test was used to examine differences. Logistic regression was used for multivariate analyses. SAS 9.4 software was used for statistical analyses, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The prevalence of abnormal albuminuria was 19.1%; the prevalence was 17.2% for MAU and lower in males (13.8%) than females (20.1%, P<0.01). The risk of CVD was higher among subjects with MAU (OR=1.23, 95%CI 1.12-1.35) and macroalbuminuria (OR=1.86, 95%CI 1.50-2.32). When MAU was complicated by hypertension and diabetes mellitus, the CVD risk was 1.76 times higher. Conclusions: The prevalence of MAU is high among Chinese subjects aged 35 years and over. Those with MAU have higher CVD risk, especially those with hypertension and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiation-induced cancer (RIC) is a late complication in patients who have been treated for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The comparison of index anatomic location, index histological type, and survival of RIC in patients with NPC after different radiotherapy modalities (intensity-modulated radiotherapy [IMRT], 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy [3D-CRT], and conventional 2D radiotherapy) is currently unavailable. METHODOLOGY A total of 38,565 patients with NPC who received curative-intent radiotherapy at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 1986 and December 2017 were reviewed. A total of 141 patients who developed RIC and fulfilled the study criteria were included. Categorical variables were compared by the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to evaluate overall survival. Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine the independent significance of RIC treatment. RESULTS Among IMRT, 3D-CRT, and conventional 2D radiotherapy, the incidence of mandible RIC was higher in patients who received 3D-CRT (0.07%) than in those who received IMRT (0%). The proportion of mandible RICs was higher in patients who received 3D-CRT (16.667%) than in those who received IMRT (0%) and conventional 2D radiotherapy (3.529%). Regarding the histological type, the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was higher in patients who received conventional 2D radiotherapy (0.266%) than in those who received 3D-CRT (0.175%); patients who received IMRT had a higher proportion of SCC than those who received 3D-CRT/conventional 2D radiotherapy (86.4% vs. 41.7% vs. 74.2%); the incidence of sarcoma was higher in patients who received 3D-CRT (0.175%) than in those who received IMRT (0.025%); and the proportion of sarcoma was higher in patients who received 3D-CRT (41.667%) than in those who received IMRT (6.818%) and conventional 2D radiotherapy (17.647%). Patients who received surgery for RICs had better survival than those who received no surgery (64.49 vs. 12.42 months). In the univariate and multivariate analyses, surgery was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Our results have implications for long-term follow-up of RIC, multidisciplinary management, and patient counseling of RIC after nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment by treating clinicians.

Abstract
Rationale: Inflammatory osteolysis, characterized by abundant immune cell infiltration and osteoclast (OC) formation, is a common complication induced by bacterial products and/or wear particles at the bone-prosthesis interface that severely reduces long-term stability after implantation. Molecular nanoclusters are ultrasmall particles with unique physicochemical and biological properties that have great potential as theranostic agents for treating inflammatory diseases. Methods: In this study, heterometallic PtAu2 nanoclusters with sensitive nitric oxide-responsive phosphorescence turn-on characteristics and strong binding interactions with cysteine were designed, making them desirable candidates for the treatment of inflammatory osteolysis. Results: PtAu2 clusters exhibited satisfactory biocompatibility and cellular uptake behavior, with potent anti-inflammatory and anti-OC activities in vitro. In addition, PtAu2 clusters alleviated lipopolysaccharide-induced calvarial osteolysis in vivo and activated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression by disrupting its association with Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), thereby upregulating the expression of endogenous anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative products. Conclusion: Through the rational design of novel heterometallic nanoclusters that activate the endogenous anti-inflammatory system, this study provides new insights into the development of multifunctional molecular therapeutic agents for inflammatory osteolysis and other inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
This paper is dedicated to reviewing relative research on humanistic caring ability of intern nursing students and proposing strategies to improve humanistic caring ability. Firstly, current paper collected information from both domestic and foreign literature, and then scientific analysis, summary and overview of research results were conducted with regards to humanistic caring ability of interns nursing students. By analyzing the current situation of intern nursing students' humanistic caring ability, and factors that have influence on humanistic caring ability of intern nursing students, the present paper is determined to come up with feasible change methods and form strategic paths. At present, the humanistic care ability of intern nursing students is relatively low. Students, schools, hospitals, and the society all exert influence on the humanistic care ability of intern nursing students. Although scholars' research is different in topics or focus, the conclusions drawn from this research are highly consistent. Nursing humanistic care is the internal quality of nursing staff concerning morality, humanity, and integration of knowledge, concepts, and attitudes. Nursing humanistic care ability includes caring experience ability and caring behavior ability. The necessary psychological characteristics of personality are regarded as a special ability. It is of great significance to promote the quality of nursing and humanistic care ability of intern nursing students who serve as the backup force of nursing talent team. Meanwhile, it is imperative to strengthen the construction of intern nursing students' humanistic care ability.

Abstract
Purpose Low back pain (LBP) induced by intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) brings progressively painful status and impairs the normal daily living. Engeletin is a plant-derived medicine with anti-inflammation and antioxidant functions. Therefore, we aim to confirm its protective effects against the intervertebral disc degeneration in vivo and in vitro. Methods The cytotoxicity of engeletin was validated by CCK-8 tests. Using the TNF-α to simulate the inflammation status in vitro, the expression of inflammatory mediators and MMP families were determined by qPCR, Western blotting and confocal microscopy. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry and TUNEL assay. The expression of apoptosis-related proteins was tested by Western blotting. The activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways was evaluated by Western blotting and confocal microscopy. In vivo, percutaneous needle puncture was used to establish the IDD model in rat, and engeletin was administrated via intradiscal injection. The therapeutic effects of engeletin were detected through imaging and histology analysis. Results Cell viability tests demonstrated there was little cytotoxicity of engeletin toward NP cells. Pretreatment with engeletin effectively ameliorate the TNF-α-induced up-regulation of inflammatory mediators and MMP families, promoting the anabolism of ECM meanwhile. Cell apoptosis was also attenuated with the addition of engeletin. We found that the activation of MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways and the nuclear translocation of phosphorylated p65 and p38 were inhibited prominently with the treatment of engeletin which may be the potential molecular mechanism for its anti-inflammation effects. Finally, the IDD induced by percutaneous needle puncture was partially alleviated with the injection of engeletin in vivo. Conclusion As a natural compound with little cytotoxicity, engeletin possesses the outstanding anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis effects in the process of IDD in vitro and in vivo, which may be a promising medicine for the prevention and treatment of IDD-related low back pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to elucidate the clinical characteristics of alcoholic-hyperlipidemic etiologically complex acute pancreatitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed complete data from 233 patients with acute pancreatitis treated in our hospital during the period January 2017-January 2022. They were divided into three groups according to etiology: alcoholic acute pancreatitis (AAP), hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP), and alcoholic-hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (AHAP). General clinical data, co-morbidities, laboratory results, imaging data, and disease severity were analyzed and compared between groups. RESULTS The proportion of male individuals in the AHAP group was significantly higher than that in the HLAP group (p<0.001). Age of onset was lower and the number of cases with antibiotic use was higher in the AHAP group than in the AAP group (p<0.05). Additionally, the average alcohol intake each time and weekly alcohol intake were also higher in the AHAP group than in the AAP group (p<0.05). Comparison of disease severity (moderate and severe acute pancreatitis, severe acute pancreatitis, and modified computed tomography severity index score) revealed the disease condition to be more severe in the AHAP group than in the AAP and HLAP groups (p<0.05). Accordingly, patients in the AHAP group had longer hospital stays than those in the other two groups (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in alcohol consumption, severity, or length of hospital stay in the AHAP group (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The clinical characteristics of patients in the AHAP, AAP and HLAP groups were different, and the patients in the AHAP group were more likely to have a moderate to severe disease course, with longer hospital stay. As a new AP classification concept, AHAP would offer high significance for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

Abstract
Abnormal activation and overproliferation of osteoclast in inflammatory bone diseases lead to osteolysis and bone mass loss. Although current pharmacological treatments have made extensive advances, limitations still exist. N-[2-bromo-4-(phenylsulfonyl)-3-thienyl]-2-chlorobenzamide (BNTA) is an artificially synthesized molecule compound that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we presented that BNTA can suppress intracellular ROS levels through increasing ROS scavenging enzymes SOD1 and SOD2, subsequently attenuating the MARK signaling pathway and the transcription of NFATc1, leading to the inhibition of osteoclast formation and osteolytic resorption. Moreover, the results also showed an obvious restrained effect of BNTA on RANKL-stimulated proinflammatory cytokines, which indirectly mediated osteoclastogenesis. In line with the in vitro results, BNTA protected LPS-induced severe bone loss in vivo by enhancing scavenging enzymes, reducing proinflammatory cytokines, and decreasing osteoclast formation. Taken together, all of the results demonstrate that BNTA effectively represses oxidation, regulates inflammatory activity, and inhibits osteolytic bone resorption, and it may be a potential and exploitable drug to prevent inflammatory osteolytic bone diseases.

Abstract
In the field of orthopaedics, bone defects caused by severe trauma, infection, tumor resection, and skeletal abnormalities are very common. However, due to the lengthy and painful process of related surgery, people intend to shorten the recovery period and reduce the risk of rejection; as a result, more attention is being paid to bone regeneration with mesenchymal stromal cells, one of which is the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) from adipose tissue. After continuous subculture and cryopreservation, ASCs still have the potential for multidirectional differentiation. They can be implanted in the human body to promote bone repair after induction in vitro, solve the problems of scarce sources and large damage, and are expected to be used in the treatment of bone defects and non-union fractures. However, the diversity of its differentiation lineage and the lack of bone formation potential limit its current applications in bone disease. Here, we concluded the current applications of ASCs in bone repair, especially with the combination and use of physical and biological methods. ASCs alone have been proved to contribute to the repair of bone damage in vivo and in vitro. Attaching to bone scaffolds or adding bioactive molecules can enhance the formation of the bone matrix. Moreover, we further evaluated the efficiency of ASC-committed differentiation in the bone in conditions of cell experiments, animal models, and clinical trials. The results show that ASCs in combination with synthetic bone grafts and biomaterials may affect the regeneration, augmentation, and vascularization of bone defects on bone healing. The specific conclusion of different materials applied with ASCs may vary. It has been confirmed to benefit osteogenesis by regulating osteogenic signaling pathways and gene transduction. Exosomes secreted by ASCs also play an important role in osteogenesis. This review will illustrate the understanding of scientists and clinicians of the enormous promise of ASCs’ current applications and future development in bone repair and regeneration, and provide an incentive for superior employment of such strategies.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the method and efficacy of reconstruction of facial skin defects after removing the lesions by applying the V-Y subcutaneous pedicle flap. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 23 patients with facial reconstruction by using V-Y subcutaneous pedicle flap in the Otolaryngology Department of Guangdong Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital from March 2012 to April 2021. Patient ages ranged from 45 to 85 years old, with a mean age of 66.5 years (14 males and 9 females). The facial lesion sites included cheek in 12 cases (nearly lower eyelid in 4 cases), nose in 4 cases, lips in 3 cases, temporal in 2 cases and mental region in 2 cases. The initial pathology included malignant tumors (7 cases of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), 2 cases of squamous cell carcinoma(SCC), and 1 case of malignant melanoma) and benign lesions (7 cases of keratoderma, 3 cases of intradermal nevus, 1 case of pilomatricoma, 1 case of cutaneous mixed tumor and 1 case of epidermal cyst). The V-Y subcutaneous facial pedicled flaps were designed reasonably after the facial lesions were excised. The advantages of blood supply, survival rate and adverse events of the flap were analyzed Chi-square test was used to compare the observation results of different types of patients. Results: The primary focus of 23 patients was excised surgically, and intraoperative frozen-section examinations were performed for obtaining margins negative as far as possible. One positive margin was still found in 1 patient after multiple resection in our group. The defect sizes were 14 mm×12 mm-59 mm×54 mm. All the flaps survived. The adverse events were slight necrosis of the epidermis at the junction or vicinity of the three arms of "Y" shaped in 4 cases, but the wounds finally recovered by wet compress and dressing change. There were no significant differences in the incidences of adverse events between double and single pedicle flaps (4/19 vs. 0/4), between benign and malignant lesions (4/13 vs. 0/10), and between patients with and without underlying diseases (1/6 vs. 3/17) (χ2 values were 0.98, 3.56, 0.01, respectively, all P>0.05). There were no other major complications such as dehiscence, hematoma, eyelid ectropion and lip deformation. The patients with benign lesions were followed-up at least for 3 months, while those with malignant tumors were followed-up for 6-36 months postoperatively, without recurrence. Conclusions: V-Y subcutaneous facial pedicled skin flap may be a "no-easy-necrotic" local flap in the repair of small and medium-sized facial defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between the spatially distributed level of active TGFβ1 in human subchondral bone, and the characteristic structural and cellular parameters of human knee OA, was assessed. DESIGN Paired subchondral bone samples from 35 OA arthroplasty patients, (15 men and 20 women, aged 69 ± 9 years) were obtained from beneath macroscopically present (CA+) or denuded cartilage (CA-) to determine the concentration of active TGFβ1 (ELISA) and its relationship to bone quality (synchrotron micro-CT), cellularity, and vascularization (histology). RESULTS Bone samples beneath (CA-) regions had significantly increased concentrations of active TGFβ1 protein (mean difference: 26.4; 95% CI: [3.2, 49.7]), when compared to bone in CA + regions. Trabecular Bone below (CA-) regions had increased bone volume (median difference: 4.3; 96.49% CI: [-1.7, 17.8]), increased trabecular number (1.5 [0.006, 2.6], decreased trabecular separation (-0.05 [-0.1,-0.005]), and increased bone mineral density (394.5 [65.7, 723.3]) comparing to (CA+) regions. Further, (CA-) bone regions showed increased osteocyte density (0.012 [0.006, 0.018]), with larger osteocyte lacunae (39.8 [7.8, 71.7]) that were less spherical (-0.02 [-0.04, -0.003]), and increased bone matrix vascularity (12.4 [0.3, 24.5]) compared to (CA+). In addition, increased levels of active TGFβ1 related to increased bone volume (0.04 [-0.11, 0.9]), while increased OARSI grade associated with lacunar volume (-44.1 [-71.1, -17.2]), and orientation (2.7 [0.8, 4.6]). CONCLUSION Increased concentration of active TGFβ1 in the subchondral bone of human knee OA associates spatially with impaired bone quality and disease severity, suggesting that TGFβ1 is a potential therapeutic target to prevent or reduce human OA disease progression.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control status of dyslipidemia among females aged ≥35 years old across China. Methods: Participants were selected by stratified multistage random sampling method in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" National Science and Technology Support Project "Survey on the Prevalence of Important Cardiovascular Diseases and Key Technology Research in China" project. This study is a retrospective, cross-sectional study. A total of 17 418 females aged 35 years and over were included in the current study. The basic information such as age, medical history and menopause was collected by questionnaire. The blood lipid parameters were derived from clinical laboratory examinations. The prevalence of dyslipidemia and the rate of awareness, treatment, and control of dyslipidemia were analyzed in females aged 35 years and over. Results: The age of participants was (56.2±13.0) years old, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 33.1% (5 765/17 418). The prevalence rates of high total cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C and high LDL-C were 9.7% (1 695/17 418), 11.1% (1 925/17 418), 10.9% (1 889/17 418) and 7.3% (1 262/17 418), respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia increased with age and the prevalence of dyslipidemia in women who were not married, Han, menarche age>16 years, obesity, central obesity, alcohol consumption, diabetes, hypertension and family history of cardiovascular disease were higher than those without such characteristics (P<0.05). There were 10 432 (59.9%) menopausal females in this cohort and prevalence of dyslipidemia of these participants was 38.8% (4 048/10 432), which was higher than that of non-postmenopausal females (24.6%, 1 717/6 986) (P<0.05). The awareness rates, treatment rates and control rates of dyslipidemia were 33.9% (1 953/5 765), 15.1% (870/5 765) and 2.5% (143/5 765) respectively among females aged 35 years and over in China. Conclusion: The prevalence of dyslipidemia in Chinese females aged 35 years and over is high, and its awareness, treatment, and control rates need to be optimized.

Abstract
Objective: To construct a novel prognostic nomogram model based on more comprehensive variables for patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Methods: The data of 722 patients with SCLC confirmed by pathology in Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed [including 592 males and 130 females, aged from 23 to 82(61±9) years]. A random seed count of 133 was used to divide those patients into training set (n=422) and validation set (n=300). Kaplan-Meier was used for survival curves analysis and univariate Log-rank test was used for evaluating the influence of clinical variables on the prognosis of sclc, variables with P<0.05 in univariate analysis were included in a multivariate Cox regression model. The nomogram was constructed based on the variables which P<0.05 in multivariate analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration by Integrated Brier score (IBS) and clinical net benefit by decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate model discriminative power, prediction error value, and clinical net benefit, and compared with the American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th TNM. Results: Male, abnormal monocyte (MON) counts, abnormal neuron specific enolase (NSE), abnormal cytokeratin 19 fragment (Cyfra211), M1a stage, M1b stage, M1c stage, radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy ≥4 cycles and prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) were prognostic factors for SCLC[HR(95%CI)=1.39(1.00-1.92), 1.29(1.02-1.63), 1.41(1.11-1.80), 2.02(1.48-2.76), 1.09(0.77-1.55), 1.44(0.94-2.22), 2.01(1.49-2.71), 0.75(0.57-0.98), 0.40(0.31-0.51)and 0.42(0.26-0.68), respectively, all P<0.05]. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of the nomogram in training set and validation set were 0.814(95%CI: 0.765-0.862)and 0.787 (95%CI: 0.725-0.849), which were higher than TNM [0.616(95%CI: 0.558-0.674) and 0.648(95%CI: 0.581-0.715)].The calibration curve showed a good correlation between the nomogram prediction and actual observation for the 2-year overall survival (OS). IBS indicted a lower prediction error rate (training set: 0.132 vs 0.169; validation set: 0.138 vs 0.169). DCA showed a wider threshold range than TNM (training set: 0.01-0.96 vs 0.01-0.85, validation set: 0.01-0.94 vs 0.01-0.86) and a greater improvement of the clinical net benefit (in training set the nomogram had a greater clinical benefit than TNM in the range of 0.19-0.96, and remained in validation set in the range of 0.19-0.94). Conclusion: The established nomogram model for predicting 2-year OS in patients with SCLC based on 8 variables, including gender, MON, NSE, Cyfra211, M stage, RT, CT cycles and PCI can be used for an more accurately prognosis prediction and reference for therapeutic regimen selection.

Abstract
Discography often destroys the hypoxic environment in the intervertebral disc and accelerates intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Therefore, it often fails to meet the requirements for application in clinical practice. This technology mainly increases the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the IVD. As so, it is particularly critical to develop strategies to avoid this degeneration mechanism. Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) are found to enhance development under magnetic resonance T1 and have antioxidant enzyme activity. The key results of the present study confirm that PBNPs alleviate intracellular oxidative stress and increase the intracellular activities of antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1). PBNPs can rescue nucleus pulposus cell degeneration by increasing oxidoreductase system-related mRNA and proteins, especially by stabilizing SOD1 from ubiquitination-proteasome degradation, thus improving the mitochondrial structure to increase antioxidation ability, and finally rescuing ROS-induced IVDD in a rat model. Therefore, it is considered that PBNPs can be a potential antioxidation-protective discography contrast agent.

Abstract
Abiotic stresses have a detrimental impact on plant growth and productivity and are a major threat to sustainable crop production in rapidly changing environments. Proline, an important amino acid, plays an important role in maintaining the metabolism and growth of plants under abiotic stress conditions. Many insights indicate a positive relationship between proline accumulation and tolerance of plants to various abiotic stresses. Because of its metal chelator properties, it acts as a molecular chaperone, an antioxidative defence molecule that scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as having signalling behaviour to activate specific gene functions that are crucial for plant recovery from stresses. It also acts as an osmoprotectant, a potential source to acquire nitrogen as well as carbon, and plays a significant role in the flowering and development of plants. Overproduction of proline in plant cells contributes to maintaining cellular homeostasis, water uptake, osmotic adjustment and redox balance to restore the cell structures and mitigate oxidative damage. Many reports reveal that transgenic plants, particularly those overexpressing genes tailored for proline accumulation, exhibit better adaptation to abiotic stresses. Therefore, this review aims to provide a comprehensive update on proline biosynthesis and accumulation in plants and its putative regulatory roles in mediating plant defence against abiotic stresses. Additionally, the current and future directions in research concerning manipulation of proline to induce gene functions that appear promising in genetics and genomics approaches to improve plant adaptive responses under changing climate conditions are also highlighted.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the treatment options for breast cancer patients aged 65 and over, and analyze the influencing factors. Methods: The clinical data of 521 elderly patients aged 65 years or older,who underwent surgery in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2009 to December 2015, were collected. They were all female and 65-98 years old. The patients were divided into 65-74 years old group (n=353) and ≥ 75 years old group (n=168). The differences of variables including age, functional status, treatment methods, pathological characteristics, comorbidities and survival time between the two groups were compared, and the differences of comprehensive treatment methods and their impact on clinical efficacy were analyzed. Results: The main operation methods of the two groups were modified radical mastectomy [39.1% (138/353) and 33.9% (57/168), respectively], breast conserving surgery [56.9% (201/353) and 61.3% (103/353), respectively]. Among the patients choosing adjuvant therapy, there was no significant difference between the two groups except chemotherapy (all P>0.05). Univariate analysis showed that the choice of chemotherapy was related to age, surgical methods, pathological types, tumor burden, molecular typing, functional status and comorbidities (all P<0.05). The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score and the number of comorbidities were independent factors affecting the choice of chemotherapy for breast cancer in the elderly: [ECOG score: adjusted OR=0.45 (95CI: 0.26-0.75), number of comorbidities: adjusted OR = 0.63 (95CI:0.41-0.98); all P<0.05]. The 5-year disease-free survival rate of 521 elderly patients with breast cancer was 86.3%, 5-year overall survival rate was 88.8%, and the breast cancer specific survival rate was 94.3%. Conclusions: The comprehensive treatment of breast cancer patients aged 65 and above is not affected by age, but is associated with tumor burden, pathological type, molecular typing, comorbidities and ECOG score. Among them, ECOG score and the number of comorbidities are the independent factors influencing the choice of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ceritinib is used for the treatment of patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), who are at the risk of developing bone metastasis. During bone metastasis, tumor cells release factors that induce osteoclast formation, resulting in osteolysis. However, the effect of ceritinib on osteoclast formation remains unclear. METHODS Osteoclastogenesis was induced to assess the effect of ceritinib on osteoclast formation and osteoclast-specific gene expression. Western blotting was used to examine the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of ceritinib on osteoclast differentiation. An in vivo ovariectomized mouse model was established to validate the effect of ceritinib in suppressing osteoclast formation and preventing bone loss. RESULTS The differentiation of osteoclasts and the expression of osteoclast-specific genes were inhibited upon ceritinib stimulation. Ceritinib suppressed Akt and p65 phosphorylation during the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis. The administration of ceritinib to ovariectomized mice ameliorated trabecular bone loss by inhibiting osteoclast formation. CONCLUSIONS Ceritinib is beneficial in preventing bone loss by suppressing osteoclastic Akt and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling.

Abstract
Rationale: Inflammatory macrophages and osteoclasts (OCs) play critical roles in joint inflammation, which feature the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in synovial inflammation and bone erosion. Scavenging ROS, especially by modulating mitochondrial metabolic activity, could be a desirable strategy for the management of inflammatory joints. This study aimed to develop a mitochondria-targeted supramolecular drug delivery system with exogenous and endogenous ROS-scavenging activities for the treatment of joint inflammation. Methods: In this study, we utilized a zinc-based metal-organic supercontainer (MOSC) as a proton sponge and electron reservoir with outstanding proton binding capacity, extracellular ROS-scavenging ability, and biocompatibility to establish an efficient supramolecular nanocarrier for endo/lysosomal escape and mitochondrial targeting. 4-Octyl itaconate (4-OI), an itaconate derivative, served as the loaded guest for the construction of a synergistic therapeutic system for inflammatory macrophages and OCs. Results: After the effective encapsulation of 4-OI, 4-OI@Zn-NH-pyr not only exhibited potent ROS-scavenging capacity, but also reduced ROS production by mediating mitochondrial respiration in inflammatory macrophages. Regarding its anti-inflammatory efficacy, 4-OI@Zn-NH-pyr ameliorated the inflammatory reaction by activating nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), thus increasing the production of antioxidants, apart from the inhibition of NF-κB pathways. Additionally, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation and function was remarkably suppressed by 4-OI@Zn-NH-pyr. Consistent with in vitro observations, 4-OI@Zn-NH-pyr efficiently inhibited synovial inflammation and subchondral bone destruction in an acute arthritis model. Conclusion: By using MOSCs that are highly reactive to ROS as drug-loaded matrices for the first time, this study provides an avenue for the management of severe joint inflammation by designing synergistic supramolecular drug-delivery systems with subcellular targeting and ROS-scavenging capacity.

Abstract
Background Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is a novel oncogene that can specifically trimethylate the histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) to transcriptionally inhibit the expression of downstream tumor-suppressing genes. As a small molecular inhibitor of EZH2, 3-Deazaneplanocin (DZNep) has been widely studied due to the role of tumor suppression. With the roles of epigenetic regulation of bone cells emerged in past decades, the property and molecular mechanism of DZNep on enhancing osteogenesis had been reported and attracted a great deal of attention recently. This study aims to elucidate the role of DZNep on EZH2-H3K27me3 axis and downstream factors during both osteoclasts and osteoblasts formation and the therapeutic possibility of DZNep on bone defect healing. Methods Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) cells were cultured, and their responsiveness to DZNep was evaluated by cell counting kit-8, TRAP staining assay, bone resorption assay, podosome actin belt. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) were cultured and their responsiveness to DZNep was evaluated by cell counting kit-8, ALP and AR staining assay. The expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), Wnt signaling pathway was determined by qPCR and western blotting. Mouse bone defect models were created, rescued by DZNep injection, and the effectiveness was evaluated by X-ray and micro-CT and histological staining. Results Consistent with the previous study that DZNep enhances osteogenesis via Wnt family member 1(Wnt1), Wnt6, and Wnt10a, our results showed that DZNep also promotes osteoblasts differentiation and mineralization through the EZH2-H3K27me3-Wnt4 axis. Furthermore, we identified that DZNep promoted the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast formation via facilitating the phosphorylation of IKKα/β, IκB, and subsequently NF-κB nuclear translocation, which credit to the EZH2-H3K27me3-Foxc1 axis. More importantly, the enhanced osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis result in accelerated mice bone defect healing in vivo. Conclusion DZNep targeting EZH2-H3K27me3 axis facilitated the healing of mice bone defect via simultaneously enhancing osteoclastic bone resorption and promoting osteoblastic bone formation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of attenuated Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) vector expressing oncomodulin (OCM) for treatment of mechanical optic nerve injury in rats. METHODS The proliferation characteristics and OCM expression of the recombinant HSV-1 vector (1716-OCM) was assessed in cultured Vero cells. Twelve-week-old SD rats were randomly divided into control group, 1716-OCM injection group and wild-type virus corneal infection group, and at 7, 14, 30 and 60 days post-infection (3 rats in each group at each time point), the expressions of OCM and HSV-1 structural protein gB in the retina and the hypothalamus of the rats were detected using immunofluorescence assay. Another 20 rats were randomized into sham operation group, PBS treatment group, 1716-OCM infection group and 1716-OCM infection with cAMP sensitization group (n=5), and in the latter 3 groups, rat models of optic nerve injury models were established followed by intravitreal injection of PBS, 1716-OCM or cAMP as indicated. At 45 days after the treatments, the rats were examined for visual electrophysiological function using FVEP method, and the number of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and the expression of myelin basic protein in the optic nerve were detected using immunofluorescence assay. RESULTS The recombinant 1716-OCM vector was capable of mediating effective expression of OCM in Vero cells in vitro, but its proliferation rate was much lower than that of the wild-type virus. In SD rats, the recombinant virus could mediate the expression of OCM in the RGC layer and choroid layer of the eyes without inducing significant structural damage of the eyes as compared with the wild-type virus. In rat models of optic nerve injury, 1716-OCM combined with cAMP significantly promoted the survival of retinal RGCs (P= 0.007) and inhibited demyelination of the optic nerve (P=0.03) as compared with the mock treatment. FVEP analysis showed that 1716-OCM combined with cAMP significantly promoted the recovery of the peak amplitude of ΔN1-P1 in the rats (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Attenuated recombinant 1716-OCM vector can mediate OCM expression in the retina of rats, and in rat models of mechanical optic nerve injury, intravitreal injection of 1716-OCM combined with cAMP can effectively alleviate optic nerve injuries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to establish a nomogram for predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) and verify its predictive value. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 571 AP patients received by Ordos Central Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018 were included in this study. According to the 2012 Revised Atlanta classification, the included subjects were classified into severe AP (SAP) group and non-severe AP (NSAP) group [including patient with mild AP (MAP) and moderately SAP (MSAP)]. The baseline characteristics, imageological data and pathological data within 24 h after the disease onset between the two groups were analyzed using One-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA). R language was used for establishing a predictive nomogram, whose performance was verified by clinical data of 150 AP cases collected from December 2018 to December 2019. RESULTS One-way ANOVA shows that SAP and NSAP patients show significant differences in sex, calcium ions, creatinine, neutrophils ratio, lymphocytes ratio and eosinophils ratio (p<0.05). A predictive nomogram was accordingly established using the six indicators. Validation on this predictive nomogram showed high internal validation concordance index (C-index) of 0.69 (95% CI, 0.64-0.74), and high external validation C-index of 0.71 (95% CI, 0.67-0.76). CONCLUSIONS This nomogram can be used as a clinical tool to predict the severity of SAP.

Abstract
Osteolytic bone disorders are characterized by an overall reduction in bone mineral density which enhances bone ductility and vulnerability to fractures. This disorder is primarily associated with superabundant osteoclast formation and bone resorption activity. Nicorandil (NIC) is a vasodilatory anti-anginal drug with ATP-dependent potassium (KATP) channel openings. However, NIC is adopted to manage adverse cardiovascular and coronary events. Recent research has demonstrated that NIC also possesses anti-inflammatory peculiarity through the regulation of p38 MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. Both MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways play pivotal roles in RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and bone resorption function. Herein, we hypothesized that NIC may exert potential biological effects against osteoclasts, and revealed that NIC dose-dependently suppressed bone marrow macrophage (BMM) precursors to differentiate into TRAP + multinucleated osteoclasts in vitro. Furthermore, osteoclast resorption assays demonstrated anti-resorptive effects exhibited by NIC. NIC had no impact on osteoblast differentiation or mineralization function. Based on Biochemical analyses, NIC relieved RANKL-induced ERK, NF-κB and p38 MAPK signaling without noticeable effects on JNK MAPK activation. However, the attenuation of NF-κB and p38 MAPK activation was sufficient to hamper the downstream induction of c-Fos and NFATc1 expression. Meanwhile, NIC administration markedly protected mice from ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss through in vivo inhibition of osteoclast formation and bone resorption activity. Collectively, this work demonstrated the potential of NIC in the management of osteolytic bone disorders mediated by osteoclasts.

Background
Psychological stress is associated with high incidence of coronary heart disease and increases the risk of mortality and poor health status. Although a few studies have investigated psychological stress in this population, this problem is usually unrecognized and untreated in most Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome. There is insufficient information regarding the features of psychological stress and associated factors among this population.
Purpose
This study aimed to assess the level of psychological stress and to identify its correlates in Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Methods
Patients aged over 18 years and with acute coronary syndrome were invited to participate in a cross-sectional survey in two tertiary public hospitals in China, from June to July 2019. A total of 332 patients completed measures of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, psychological stress (10-item Perceived Stress Scale), and illness perception (Brief Illness Perceptions Questionnaire). Independent sample t-tests, bivariate correlations, and multivariable linear regression were performed to analyze potential correlates, including age, gender, education level, employment status, income, episode of illness, revascularization procedure, comorbidities, body mass index, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids, and illness perception.
Results
The average patient age was 62.2 years, 67.5% were male, and 54.2% had less than high school education. The mean score for psychological stress was 21.30 ± 3.99 and 66.9% of patients had high psychological stress (score ≥ 20). Multivariable regression analysis showed that being overweight/obesity versus normal weight (body mass index: ≥ 24 kg/m2 versus < 24 kg/m2) was associated with lower psychological stress (β = -0.134, p = 0.007). Having a high level of fasting blood glucose (≥ 6.1 mmol/L) versus normal fasting blood glucose (< 6.1 mmol/L) was associated with high psychological stress (β = 0.123, p = 0.017). Additionally, negative cognitive illness perception (β = 0.190, p = 0.01), negative emotional illness perception (β = 0.290, p < 0.001), and poor illness understanding (β = 0.118, p = 0.032) were associated with high psychological stress.
Conclusions
Patients with acute coronary syndrome experience high psychological stress that is significantly correlated with body mass index, fasting blood glucose, and illness perception. Health professionals should recognize this issue and interventions looking to relive psychological stress may benefit from targeting these correlates.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a major cause of lower back pain (LBP), a condition that causes a heavy economic burden globally. The production of cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α, is increased in the degenerating intervertebral disc. Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) participates in NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis in liver. Therefore, we hypothesized that TXNIP maypromote pyroptosis via NLRP3/Caspase-1/IL-1β signaling pathway in nucleus pulposus (NP) cell. This study examined the effects of TXNIP on IDD, explored the underlying mechanisms of action and find Morin which is the inhibitor of TXNIP can attenuates pyroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells and ameliorates intervertebral disc degeneration. Our findings indicate that TXNIP promote pyroptosis via NLRP3/Caspase-1/IL-1β signaling pathway in NP cell. Morin considerably inhibited the TXNIP/NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling pathway in vitro. In vivo. Our data show that TXNIP can aggravates intervertebral disc degeneration and morin may be a useful therapeutic agent for IDD.
