Systemic sclerosis(SSc)is a life-threatening chronic connective tissue disease with the characteristics of skin fibrosis,vascular injury,and inflammatory infiltrations.Though inhibition of phosphodiesterase 4(PDE4)has been turned out to be an effective strategy in suppressing inflammation through promoting the accumulation of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP),little is known about the functional modes of inhibiting PDE4 by apremilast on the process of SSc.The present research aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanism of apremilast on SSc.Herein,we found that apremilast could markedly ameliorate the pathological manifestations of SSc,including skin dermal thickness,deposition of collagens,and increased expression of α-SMA.Further study demonstrated that apremilast suppressed the recruitment and activation of macrophages and T cells,along with the secretion of inflammatory cytokines,which accounted for the effects of apremilast on modulating the pro-fibrotic processes.Interestingly,apremilast could dose-dependently inhibit the activation of M1 and T cells in vitro through promoting the phosphorylation of CREB.In summary,our research suggested that inhibiting PDE4 by apremilast might provide a novel therapeutic option for clinical treatment of SSc patients.

人民健康是民族昌盛和国家富强的重要标志,预防是最经济、最有效的健康策略,近年来党和国家提出了健康中国建设的目标和任务.党的十九大作出实施健康中国战略的重大决策部署,党中央、国务院先后发布《“健康中国2030”规划纲要》和《健康中国行动(2019-2030)》,强调坚持预防为主,倡导健康文明生活方式,预防控制重大疾病,充分体现了党和国家对维护人民健康的高度重视.
面对新冠疫情全球蔓延,第十三届全国人大常委会第十六次会议表决通过了全面禁食野生动物的决定.全面禁食野生动物的决定主要建立在公共安全与生命伦理两大法理基础之上:前者侧重于社会整体利益的维护与风险规制,是一个功利性标准;而后者则侧重于对生命的尊重和人与自然和谐关系的维护,主要为伦理性标准.现实中,对“野生动物”概念范畴的理解存在主观说与客观说两大识别标准,并存在广义、中义和狭义三大外延界定标准,此次禁食野生动物的决定在现有法律框架下,尽最大程度拓展了禁食的野生动物范畴.为推动全面禁食野生动物制度的实践展开,应
