    Abstract Busulfan, a bifunctional alkylated chemotherapeutic agent, has male reproductive toxicity and induce oligospermia, which is associated with ferroptosis. However, the specific target cells of busulfan-induced oligospermia triggered by ferroptosis are largely elusive, and the detailed mechanisms also require further exploration. In the present study, busulfan (0.6, and 1.2 mM, 48 h) causes ferroptosis in GC-1 spg cells through inducing Fe

    Abstract Purpose: To examine how social support might moderate the relationship between intrinsic capacity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) based on the buffering model of social support.
    Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a sample of 1181 Chinese community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 60 years in 2016. Social support was assessed using the Social Support Rating Scale. Intrinsic capacity was assessed using the revised integrated care for older people screening tool. HRQoL was measured by the 12-item Short Form Health Survey. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was implemented to test the moderating effect of social support.
    Results: Support utilization attenuated the relationship between lower intrinsic capacity and poor physical HRQoL while subjective support attenuated the relationship between lower intrinsic capacity and poor mental HRQoL. However, objective support had no significant moderating effect on the relationship between intrinsic capacity and specific domains of HRQoL.
    Conclusion: The moderating effects of social support on the association between intrinsic capacity and HRQoL vary by support types. Effective interventions should target the perception and utilization of available support among older adults with lower intrinsic capacity to maintain their physical and mental HRQoL.

    Abstract Currently, COVID-19 is spreading in a large scale while no efficient vaccine has been produced. A high-effective drug for COVID-19 is very necessary now. We established a satisfied quantitative structure-activity relationship model by gene expression programming to predict the IC50 value of natural compounds. A total of 27 natural products were optimized by heuristic method in CODESSA program to build a liner model. Based on it, only two descriptors were selected and utilized to build a nonlinear model in gene expression programming. The square of correlation coefficient and s2 of heuristic method were 0.80 and 0.10, respectively. In gene expression programming, the square of correlation coefficient and mean square error for training set were 0.91 and 0.04. The square of correlation coefficient and mean square error for test set are 0.86 and 0.1. This nonlinear model has stronger predictive ability to develop the targeted drugs of COVID-19.

    Abstract Carbon nanodots (CNDs) are a new type of nanomaterial with a size of less than 10 nanometers and excellent biocompatibility, widely used in fields such as biological imaging, transmission, diagnosis, and drug delivery. However, its potential and mechanism to mediate endothelial inflammation have yet to be explored. Here, we report that the uptake of CNDs by EA.hy926 endothelial cells is both time and dose dependent. The concentration of CNDs used in this experiment was found to not affect cell viability. TNF-α is a known biomarker of vascular inflammation. Cells treated with CNDs for 24 h significantly inhibited TNF-α (0.5 ng/mL)-induced expression of intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (

    Abstract The fertility of females of childbearing age who are cured of cancer by chemotherapy is gradually declining globally. As a broad-spectrum chemotherapy drug in clinic, the damage of cisplatin (CDDP) to female reproductive function cannot be ignored. At present, the study of CDDP damage to the uterus is not sufficient, and the exact mechanism needs to be further explored. Therefore, we conducted this research to determine whether uterine injury in CDDP-induced injury rats might be improved by human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUMSCs) and to further explore the precise mechanism. The rat model of CDDP-induced injury was established by intraperitoneal injection of CDDP, and hUMSCs were injected into the tail vein 7 days later.

    Abstract We aimed to explore the relationship between sleep quality and frailty, and depression as a mediator and its interaction with sleep quality on frailty. This was a cross-sectional study among 936 Chinese community-dwelling adults aged≥60 years. Sleep quality, frailty and depression were measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Frailty Phenotype and the 5-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-5), respectively. We found that depression mediated the association between poor sleep quality and physical frailty, attenuating the association between poor sleep and physical frailty by 51.9%. Older adults with both poor sleep quality and depression had higher risk of frailty than those with poor sleep quality or depression alone. These results implicate multidisciplinary care for frail older adults with poor sleep quality.

    Abstract Background: The ecological model of health and ageing has proposed that functional ability (FA) is determined by the interaction between intrinsic capacity (IC) and environmental characteristics. This study empirically examined how social support, as an important social environmental resource, interacts with IC to affect FA trajectories among older adults.
    Methods: This was a prospective three-wave cohort study with a sample of 775 community-dwelling older adults. Social support, IC and FA were assessed using the Social Support Rating Scale, the revised Integrated Care for Older People screening tool and the Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale, respectively. Latent growth curve models (LGCM) were implemented to test their relationships.
    Results: FA significantly declined over 3 years, and the detrimental effect of impaired IC on the deterioration rate of FA was buffered by subjective support but was aggravated by support utilization and was not changed by objective support. FA decline among older adults with impaired IC was observed in those with low subjective support or with high support utilization but not in those with high subjective support or with low support utilization. Among older adults with intact IC, FA decline was observed in those with low support utilization but not in those with high support utilization or with low or high subjective support.
    Conclusions: Subjective support may prevent FA decline among older adults with impaired IC, while support utilization may benefit older adults with intact IC but may be detrimental for those with impaired IC. Social support interventions to optimize FA trajectories should improve older adults' perceptions of support and bridge the gap in support utilization among older adults with impaired IC.

The rat model of CDDP-induced injury was established by intraperitoneal injection of CDDP, and hUMSCs were injected into the tail vein 7 days later. In vivo, uterine function in CDDP-induced injury rats was affected after hUMSC transplantation. In vitro, the specific mechanism was further explored from the cell and protein levels. Overall, the specific reason of CDDP-induced uterine dysfunction in rats was endometrial fibrosis, which was significantly improved after hUMSC transplantation. Further investigation of the mechanism found that hUMSCs could regulate the ratio of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in endometrial stromal cells (EnSCs) after CDDP injury.

    Abstract Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is the preferred treatment for various types of cholestasis, however, its effectiveness is limited because of its insolubility in water. We used polyethylene glycol (PEG) and cationic polymer polyethylenimine (PEI) to double-modify graphite oxide (PPG) as a drug delivery system. UDCA was successfully loaded onto PPG through intermolecular interactions to form UDCA-PPG nanoparticles. UDCA-PPG nanoparticles not only improve the solubility and dispersibility of UDCA, but also have good biocompatibility and stability, which significantly improve the delivery rate of UDCA. The results indicated that UDCA-PPG significantly reduced ROS levels, promoted cell proliferation, protected mitochondrial membrane potential, reduced DNA damage and reduced apoptosis in the DCA-induced cell model. In a mouse cholestasis model established by bile duct ligation (BDL), UDCA-PPG improved liver necrosis, fibrosis, and mitochondrial damage and reduced serum ALT and AST levels, which were superior to those in the UDCA-treated group. UDCA-PPG reduced the expression of the apoptosis-related proteins, Caspase-3 and Bax, increased the expression of Bcl-2, and reduced the expression of the oxidative stress-related proteins, NQO and HO-1, as well as the autophagy-related proteins LC3, p62 and p-p62. Therefore, UDCA-PPG can enhance the therapeutic effect of UDCA in cholestasis, by significantly improving drug dispersibility and stability, extending circulation time in vivo, promoting absorption, decreasing ROS levels, enhancing autophagy flow and inhibiting apoptosis via the Bcl-2/Bax signaling pathway.
