[MPV17 inhibits iron overload-induced ferroptosis of splenic CD3 T cells in mice by blocking ERK pathway].

Objective This work aimed to explore the effect of iron overload on splenic injury and the role of MPV17 in the ferroptosis of splenic CD3 T cells from mice subjected to iron overload. Methods Mice were randomly divided into normal diet group, high-iron diet group, high-iron diet combined with Fer-1 treatment group, and high-iron diet combined with adenovirus harboring MPV17 injection group, with 5 mice in each group. After treatment for 8 weeks, mice spleens were harvested and fixed; Histological section and HE staining were performed to observe the structures of the spleens; Cell death of CD3 T cells was detected by propidium iodide (PI) staining; The lipid peroxidation levels were detected by C11 BODIPY581/591 staining; The mRNA levels of Solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) were detected by qPCR assays; The macrophage phenotype-switching (M1/M2) were detected by flow cytometry; The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were measured by ELISA assays.

Development and validation of a clinical prediction model for ischemic stroke recurrence after successful stent implantation in symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for recurrent ischemic stroke in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) who underwent successful stent placement and to establish a nomogram prediction model.

Methods: We utilized data from a prospective collection of 430 consecutive patients at Jining NO.1 People's Hospital from November 2021 to November 2022, conducting further analysis on the subset of 400 patients who met the inclusion criteria.

Dynamical modeling the effect of glucagon-like peptide on glucose-insulin regulatory system based on mice experimental observation.

As an emerging global epidemic, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Existing evidences demonstrated that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) modulate the glucose regulatory system by enhancing the β-cell function. However, the detailed process of GLP-1 in glycaemic regulator for T2DM remains to be clarified.

Spatial Heterogeneity and Its Influencing Factors of Syphilis in Ningxia, Northwest China, from 2004 to 2017: A Spatial Analysis.

Syphilis remains a growing and resurging infectious disease in China. However, exploring the influence of environmental factors on the spatiotemporal distribution of syphilis remains under explore. This study aims to analyze the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of syphilis in Ningxia, Northwest China, and its potential environmental influencing factors.

The effect of public health awareness and behaviors on the transmission dynamics of syphilis in Northwest China, 2006-2018, based on a multiple-stages mathematical model.

Syphilis, a sexually transmitted infectious disease caused by the bacterium treponema pallidum, has re-emerged as a global public health issue with an estimated 12 million people infected each year. Understanding the impacts of health awareness and behaviors on transmission dynamics of syphilis can help to establish optimal control strategy in different regions. In this paper, we develop a multiple-stage SIRS epidemic model taking into account the public health awareness and behaviors of syphilis.

Incorporating textual network improves Chinese stock market analysis.

This study adopts the textual network to describe the coordination among the interplay of words, where nodes represent words and nodes are connected if the corresponding words have co-occurrence pattern across documents. To study stock movements, we further proposed the sparse laplacian shrinkage logistic model (SLS_L) which can properly take into account the network connectivity structure. By using this approach, we investigated the relationship between Shenwan index and analysts' research reports.

Avian Influenza A (H7N9) Model Based on Poultry Transport Network in China.

In order to analyze the spread of avian influenza A (H7N9), we construct an avian influenza transmission model from poultry (including poultry farm, backyard poultry farm, live-poultry wholesale market, and wet market) to human according to poultry transport network. We obtain the threshold value for the prevalence of avian influenza A (H7N9) and also give the existence and number of the boundary equilibria and endemic equilibria in different conditions. We can see that poultry transport network plays an important role in controlling avian influenza A (H7N9).

An SIR pairwise epidemic model with infection age and demography.

The demography and infection age play an important role in the spread of slowly progressive diseases. To investigate their effects on the disease spreading, we propose a pairwise epidemic model with infection age and demography on dynamic networks. The basic reproduction number of this model is derived.
