Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atherosclerosis is the main cause underlying cardiovascular disease (CVD). Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) is a hydrophobic polyunsaturated fatty acid that exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, the beneficial effects of DHA on CVD have been controversial likely due to variations in bioavailability after oral intake.
Purpose
In this study, we aim to investigate the potential inhibiting properties of liposomal DHA on atherosclerosis progression upon intravenous administration.
Methods
Four weeks old ApoE−/− and LDLr−/− mice were fed on athero-inducing high fat diet for 4 weeks and then randomly divided into two groups. The mice received either control liposomes (control group) or liposomes containing DHA (liposomal DHA treatment group) via intravenous injection, twice a week for 8 weeks while still being fed on high fat diet. At the experiment endpoint, whole aortas were collected for Oil Red O staining to quantify plaque area or for biochemical analysis. Plasma was collected for total cholesterol measurement and lipidomic analysis. Aortic roots were used for histological analysis.
Results
Upon intravenous injection, as shown by IVIS imaging, DHA-containing liposomes accumulated preferentially in the atherosclerotic plaques. Compared to control liposomes, liposomal DHA treatment reduced the atherosclerotic plaque area in both atherosclerosis animal models, with the total plaque area decreased by 35.8% in ApoE−/− mice, (p<0.001) and by 22.4% in LDLr−/− mice (p<0.05). Plaque composition analysis revealed that liposomal DHA treatment increased collagen content and reduced the number of macrophages and neutral lipid within the plaques, resulting in a lower plaque vulnerability index (1.095 for liposomal DHA treated group vs. 1.692 for control group, p<0.05). Among those plaque macrophages, as demonstrated by immunohistology, M2 (anti-inflammatory) macrophages accounted for 4.44% in liposomal DHA treated mice and 2.24% in control liposomes treated mice (p<0.05). In agreement with the histology results, higher mRNA expression levels of anti-inflammatory markers (IL-10, CD206 and CD163) and collagen type 1 were determined in aortic tissue after liposomal DHA treatment. Moreover, liposomal DHA did not change total cholesterol level in the blood but significantly lowered plasma levels of several species of triglycerides. In vitro experiment with bone marrow derived macrophages showed that liposomal DHA was able to suppress lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response and oxidative stress.
Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate that incorporation of DHA in injectable liposomes is an effective way to increase the inhibitory effects of DHA on halting the progression of atherosclerosis via lowering circulating triglycerides, reducing plaque inflammation, and enhancing plaque stability. Intravenous administration of liposomal DHA may become an efficacious strategy for the treatment of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the related factors and early predictors of persistent ectopic pregnancy (PEP) in patients with interstitial pregnancy after operation. Methods: The clinical data of patients with interstitial pregnancy who underwent surgery in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2013 to August 2021 were collected. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether PEP occurred (8 patients in PEP group and 124 patients in non-PEP group). Using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis, the basic data, surgical methods, the ratio of postoperative to preoperative serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), the duration of when the serum β-hCG had decreased to normal after the operation were compared and analyzed to find the related factors of PEP after interstitial pregnancy surgery. The sensitivity and specificity of the ratio of 24-48 hours postoperative β-hCG to preoperative β-hCG in predicting postoperative PEP were evaluated by drawing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: Before PSM, the ages of patients in PEP group and non-PEP group were (30.0±4.0) and (32.4±5.0) years old, respectively, P>0.05. After PSM, 8 PEP patients in the study group and 29 patients in the control group were matched successfully, and the ages of the two groups were (30.0±4.0) and (30.1±3.2) years old, respectively, P>0.05. After PSM, there was no significant difference in gravidity, parity, menopausal days, preoperative β-hCG level and maximum diameter of lesions, all P>0.05. After PSM, the proportion of patients with maximum diameter ≤ 2.6 cm in PEP group (6/8) was significantly higher than that in control group (31.0%, 9/29), P=0.025. The median (Q1, Q3) of the ratio of 24-48 hours postoperative β-hCG to preoperative β-hCG ratio was 52.9% (49.9%, 59.7%) in the PEP group, which was significantly higher than 31.5% (23.8%, 39.0%) in the control group (P=0.001); The median (Q1, Q3) of duration of when the serum β-hCG had decreased to normal after the operation in PEP group was 52.0 (34.8, 92.0) d, which was significantly higher than 24.0 (20.5, 31.0) d in control group (P<0.001). The ROC-Area Under Curve of the ratio of 24-48 hours postoperative β-hCG to preoperative β-hCG ratio for predicting postoperative PEP in the two groups was 0.892 (95%CI: 0.725-1.000, P=0.001). The cut-off value for predicting PEP was 48.5%, where the diagnostic sensitivity was 87.5%, the specificity was 93.1%. Conclusions: In the operation of interstitial pregnancy, the maximum diameter of lesion ≤ 2.6 cm is a related factor for postoperative PEP. There was no significant difference in the risk of PEP between cornuotomy and cornectomy. The ratio that 24-48 hours postoperative β-hCG/preoperative β-hCG ratio greater than 48.5% was a reference index for predicting postoperative PEP and guiding treatment.

Abstract
Functional abnormalities of default mode network (DMN) have been well documented in major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the association of DMN functional reorganization with antidepressant treatment and gene expression is unclear. Moreover, whether the functional interactions of DMN could predict treatment efficacy is also unknown. Here, we investigated the link of treatment response with functional alterations of DMN and gene expression with a comparably large sample including 46 individuals with MDD before and after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and 46 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Static and dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) analyses showed increased intrinsic/static but decreased dynamic functional couplings of inter- and intra-subsystems and between nodes of DMN. The changes of static functional connections of DMN were spatially correlated with brain gene expression profiles. Moreover, static and dFC of the DMN before treatment as features could predict depressive symptom improvement following ECT. Taken together, these results shed light on the underlying neural and genetic basis of antidepressant effect of ECT and the intrinsic functional connectivity of DMN have the potential to serve as prognostic biomarkers to guide accurate personalized treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the characteristics and progress of the visual acuity and refractive state of schoolchildren in Huangzhong District, Xining City, Qinghai Province in China. Methods: Cohort study. Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing Children's Hospital carried out a cohort study by collecting the visual acuity and refractive state of Grade 1-5 schoolchildren among 16 primary schools in Huangzhong District, Xining City, Qinghai Province in September 2020 and July 2021. Cycloplegic retinoscopy with eye drop which contained tropicamide (0.5%) and phenylephrine hydrochloride (0.5%) was performed in children with low vision(<1.0). Myopia was defined as the spherical equivalent (SE) ≤-0.5 D after cycloplegic retinoscopy. Measurement data was analyzed by t-test and enumeration data was analyzed by χ2 test. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: The 2 489 individuals with repeated tests in two years were included in the follow-up study, among whom the prevalence of myopia was 26.24%(653/2 489) in 2020, while 32.94% (820/2 489)respectively in 2021. The incidence of myopia in one school year from grades 1 to 5 was 11.19%(47/420), 5.44%(21/386), 6.39%(25/391), 11.52%(44/382) and 11.67%(30/257). The average SE of children in all grades in 2021 increased negatively from the previous year (Grade 1 to Grade 5 increased respectively: 0.40 D, 0.69 D, 0.62 D, 0.52 D and 0.37 D). Conclusions: The prevalence of myopia among schoolchildren in Huangzhong District, Xining City, Qinghai Province was relatively high. There were two peaks of myopia incidence in the first, fourth and fifth grades. Female, age, and the baseline of SE were the related influencing factors for myopia progression.

Abstract
Background The use of vonoprazan (VPZ) has improved the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy in Japan. There is no agreement on the dosage and frequency of amoxicillin administration in the VPZ dual treatment in China. We aimed to investigate the clinical effectiveness and safety of 3 treatment regimens using VPZ as an acid-suppressing medication to eradicate H. pylori. Methods This experiment involved an open, multicenter, randomized, and parallel controlled clinical investigation. A total of 230 newly diagnosed H. pylori-infected patients were then randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: (I) H-VA (high-dose amoxicillin combined with VPZ): VPZ 20 mg b.i.d with amoxicillin 750 mg q.i.d for 7 days; (II) L-VA (low-dose amoxicillin combined with VPZ): VPZ 20 mg b.i.d plus amoxicillin 500 mg q.i.d for 7 days; (III) VAC (amoxicillin combined with VPZ and clarithromycin): VPZ 20 mg b.i.d plus amoxicillin 750 mg plus clarithromycin 500 mg for 7 days. At least 4 weeks after treatment, the urea breath test (UBT) was reexamined. The effectiveness of various regimens was assessed based on compliance, safety, and eradication rate. Results The regimen effectiveness was 63.5% (54/85) in the H-VA group, 58.3% (49/84) in the L-VA group, and 60.7% (37/61) in the VAC group, according to intention to treat (ITT) analysis. According to per protocol (PP) analysis, the eradication rate of the H-VA group was 65.1% (54/83), that of the L-VA group was 66.2% (49/74), and that of the VAC group was 64.9% (37/57). There was no discernible difference in the eradication rate across the 3 regimens, as shown by the results of ITT analysis (χ2=0.032, P=0.984) and PP analysis (χ2=0.480, P=0.786). The rate of adverse effect was 16.90% in the H-VA group, 13.20% in the L-VA group, and 24.10% in the VAC group. There was no discernible difference in the incidence of adverse effect between the three groups (χ2=2.784, P=0.266). Conclusions None of the 7-day elimination regimens investigated in this study, which included the acid-suppressing medicine VPZ and either a dual treatment paired with amoxicillin, or a triple treatment combined with amoxicillin and clarithromycin, achieved an acceptable eradication rate of H. pylori. Further research is required to identify an effective and safe treatment regimen. Trial Registration Chinese Clinical Trial Registry identifier: ChiCTR2000040955.

Abstract
The compositions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under actual industrial conditions are often complex; especially, the interaction of intermediate products easily leads to more toxic emissions that are harmful to the atmospheric environment and human health. Herein, we report a comparative investigation on 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) and (1,2-DCE + toluene) oxidation over the Ru/TiO2, phosphotungstic acid (HPW)-modified Ru/TiO2, and oxygen vacancy-rich Ru/TiOx catalysts. The doping of HPW successfully introduced the 1,2-DCE adsorption sites to promote its oxidation and exhibited outstanding water resistance. For the mixed VOCs, Ru/HPW-TiO2 promoted the preferential and superfluous adsorption of toluene and resulted in the inhibition of 1,2-DCE degradation. Therefore, HPW modification is a successful strategy in catalytic 1,2-DCE oxidation, but Brønsted acid sites tend to adsorb toluene in the mixed VOC oxidation. The Ru/TiOx catalyst exhibited excellent activity and stability in the oxidation of mixed VOCs and could inhibit the generation of byproducts and Cl2 compared with the Ru/HPW-TiO2 catalyst. Compared with the Brønsted acid modification, the oxygen vacancy-rich catalysts are significantly suitable for the oxidation of multicomponent VOCs.

Abstract
Background:
The roles of T-Box transcription factor (TBX2) in endometrial cancer are still not clear. This study was designed to explore the roles of TBX2 in endometrial cancer and the underlying mechanisms.
Methods:
The knockdown and overexpression of TBX2 in endometrial cancer cell lines were constructed by using lentivirus transduction. The xenograft animal model was established by using stable endometrial cancer cell lines. Cell viability was determined by the CCK-8 assay. The mRNA and protein levels of target genes were determined by using qPCR and Western blotting, respectively. ChIP assay was used to determine the interactions between TBX2 and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2).
Results:
The upregulation of TBX2 was observed in endometrial cancer tissues from patients with Cisplatin-resistance and Cisplatin-resistant cells. Interestingly, TBX2 regulated cell viability and Cisplatin resistance of endometrial cancer cells. In addition, the regulatory effects of TBX2 on chemo-resistance of endometrial cancer cells were associated with the NRF2 signaling pathways. Consistently, the endometrial cancer xenograft animal model revealed that TBX2 regulated tumor growth and Cisplatin resistance, and its regulatory effects were in part by the regulation of NRF2 signaling pathways.
Conclusion:
TBX 2 enhanced Cisplatin resistance of endometrial cancer by regulating the NRF2 signaling pathways.
