    Abstract Some genes are delivered to cochleae by adenoviruses to restore partial hearing function. This provides promising prospects for gene therapies for hearing loss from hair cell damage. To study the adenovirus (AD)-mediated effect of the Wnt and Notch signalling pathways on hair cell regeneration in the mouse cochlea, we constructed a β-catenin-adenovirus (β-catenin-AD) to increase the activity of the Wnt signalling pathway and a NICD (intracellular domain of Notch1)-RNAi-adenovirus to decrease the activity of the Notch signalling pathway (NICD-RNAi-AD). Our study indicated that approximately 40% of supporting cells in the cochleae damaged by gentamicin were infected with the adenoviruses. Following the β-catenin-AD-mediated increase in Wnt signalling pathway activity, mitotic regeneration was increased, while direct transdifferentiation was increased after the NICD-RNAi-AD-mediated decrease in Notch signalling pathway activity. The expected synergistic interaction on hair cell regeneration was not obtained after coinfection of β-catenin-AD and NICD-RNAi-AD into the damaged cochleae, which might be due to the low cotransfection efficiency to supporting cells. Our study indicated that it may be possible to develop AD mediated gene therapies for hearing loss that act by regulating the Wnt and Notch signalling pathways.

    Abstract Background: To investigate the effects of vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids on glucose and blood lipid metabolism in gestational diabetes (GDM) women.
    Methods: A total of 150 patients with GDM aged 18-40 who were admitted to our hospital from May 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled in this study. The subjects were divided into test and control groups according to whether they took vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. The test group took 40,000 IU of vitamin D and 8,000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids twice a day. Comparative analysis of the changes in blood glucose and blood lipid levels of the two groups of patients was performed after 6 weeks. The t-test was used to compare the differences between groups, and the chi-square test was used to assess percentage differences. Repeated measures variance was used to analyze the effects of vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids on insulin metabolism markers and blood lipid profiles.
    Results: After adjusting for baseline age and weight, it was found that the fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), triglycerides (TGs), total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in the test group were decreased by 0.3±0.2 mmol/L, 1.0±0.6 uIU/mL, 0.2±0.1, 0.3±0.1 mmol/L, 0.5±0.2 mmol/L, 1.1±0.4 mmol/L, and 0.03±0.01 mmol/L, respectively, while homeostasis model assessment of beta cell (HOMA-β) was increased by 0.4±0.1. Compared to the placebo group, the test group's FBG, insulin, HOMA-IR, TGs, total cholesterol, LDL, and VLDL were all significantly decreased, and HOMA-β was markedly improved. However, no notable statistical difference was observed in the change of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (P>0.05).
    Conclusions: Combined supplementation with vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids for 6 weeks in patients with GDM can effectively reduce blood sugar and blood lipids, improve HOMA-β and insulin resistance, and ultimately effectively improve the glucose and lipid metabolism of patients.

    Abstract In this study, emulsion stabilised by soybean soluble polysaccharide (SSPS) and octenyl succinic anhydride modified SSPS (OSA‐SSPS) with high molecular weight (HMW) at concentrations (2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%) was prepared. The droplet size of emulsion stabilised by OSA‐SSPS (HMW) was between 150 and 300 nm with a single distribution peak and increased by 0.1 μm after 4 weeks; that of emulsion stabilised by SSPS was between 1 and 5 μm with two distribution peaks and increased by more than 2 μm after 4 weeks. The viscosity of emulsion with OSA‐SSPS (HMW) was larger than that with SSPS, and the absolute value of zeta potential of microemulsion with SSPS was lower than 43 mV while that of nanoemulsion with OSA‐SSPS (HMW) was higher than 46 mV. The stability of nanoemulsion with OSA‐SSPS (HMW) slightly varied with the increase of storage time and concentration, which provided theoretical guidance for the application of OSA‐SSPS in nanoemulsion.

    Abstract Calcineurin plays a key role in cardiovascular pathogenesis by exerting pro-apoptotic effects in cardiomyocytes. However, whether calcineurin can regulate cardiomyocyte autophagy under conditions of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) remains unclear. Here, we showed that CIH induced calcineurin activity in H9c2 cells, which attenuated adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling and inhibited autophagy. In H9c2 cells, autophagy levels, LC3 expression, and AMPK phosphorylation were significantly elevated under conditions of CIH within 3 days. However, after 5 days of CIH, these effects were reversed and calcineurin activity and apoptosis were significantly increased. The calcineurin inhibitor 17-Allyl-1,14-dihydroxy-12-[2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxycyclohexyl) -1-methylvinyl]-23,25-dimethoxy-13,19,21,27-tetramethyl-11,28-dioxa-4-azatricyclo- [22.3.1.04,9]octacos-18- ene-2,3,10,16-tetrone (FK506) restored AMPK activation and LC3 expression and attenuated CIH-induced H9c2 cell apoptosis. In contrast, calcineurin overexpression significantly attenuated the increase in LC3 expression and enhanced H9c2 cell apoptosis under conditions of CIH. Calcineurin inhibition failed to induce autophagy or alleviate apoptosis in H9c2 cells expressing a kinase-dead K45R AMPK mutant. Autophagy inhibition abrogated the protective effects of FK506-mediated calcineurin inhibition. These results indicate that calcineurin suppresses adaptive autophagy during CIH by downregulating AMPK activation. Our findings reveal the underlying mechanism of calcineurin and autophagy regulation during H9c2 cell survival under conditions of CIH and may provide a new strategy for preventing CIH-induced cardiomyocyte damage.

    Abstract Emerging evidence has demonstrated that obesity impacts multiple immune-related diseases. It remains unclear whether and how obesity alters treatment outcomes in patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Thus, we retrospectively investigated 214 treatment-naïve patients who received standard high-dose dexamethasone therapy in Qilu Hospital. Patients with obesity showed significantly lower overall initial response (underweight vs. normal vs. overweight vs. obese: 85.7% vs. 85.2% vs. 72.0% vs. 52.3%, p = 0.001) and initial complete response ([CR], 71.4% vs. 70.4% vs. 53.3% vs. 27.3%, p < 0.001) rates. The same trend was observed in the 6-month sustained response (63.6% vs. 52.3% vs. 35.6% vs. 22.7%, p = 0.03) and sustained CR (36.4% vs. 44.6% vs. 24.4% vs. 9.1%, p = 0.01). The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a shortened duration of remission in the obese group (median duration of remission, not reached vs. 16 months vs. 2 months vs. 1 month, p = 0.002). In multivariate regression analysis, obesity was independently associated with poor initial and sustained responses, and an increased risk for relapse. In conclusion, obesity is a negative predictor for outcomes of corticosteroid treatment. A stratified strategy according to body mass index status may facilitate the precision management of ITP.
