OBJECTIVE To study the effect of total flavonoids of Dracocephalum heterophyllum (TFDH),a Uygur medicine,on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by norepinephrine(NE),and to provide insights into the mechanism.METHODS Cardiomyocytes of primarily cultured neonatal rats were used as models. Myocardial hypertrophy was induced by NE 2 μmol·L-1. The cells were divided into cell control group,NE 2 μmol·L-1model group,and TFDH 10,25 and 50 μmol·L-1+NE 2 umol·L-1groups.CCK-8 method was used to observe the activity of myocardial cells,while RT-PCR technique was used to detect the expression of mRNA of cardiac hypertrophy gene atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and β-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC). The internal factors were glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Confocal laser scanning was used to detect the surface area of myocardial cells and[Ca2+]i.The activity of Ca2+-ATP was measured with enzymatic reaction of fragmentation cells. The concentration of NO and the activity of NOS were determined with colorimetry. RESULTS Compared with the cell control group, cardiomyocytes were stimulated at 48 h by NE 2 μmol·L-1, which could decrease the survival rate of cardiomyocytes from(95±1)% to(78+5)%,surface area increased from (178±29)μm2to(274± 38)μm2(P<0.05),the expression of mRNA of ANP and β-MHC increased from(1.00±0.01)and(1.00± 0.02)to(2.76±0.55)and(2.69±0.31),respectively(P<0.05).The concentration of[Ca2+]iincreased from 1.00±0.12 to(1.52 ± 0.41)μmol·L-1,while the activity of Ca2+-ATP decreased from 1.01±0.14 to(0.41± 0.06)μmol·L-1(P<0.05).The concentration of NO decreased from 1.50±0.14 to(1.12±0.05)μmol·L-1,and the activity of NOS decreased from 0.86±0.06 to(0.52±0.10)μmol·L-1(P<0.05).TFDH 10,25 and 50 μmol·L-1could inhibit the decline of the survival rate,increase of the surface area and the increased expressions of mRNA of ANP and β-MHC that were induced by NE(P<0.05).At the same time,it also could inhibit the increase of the concentration of[Ca2+]i,the decreased of activity of Ca2+-ATP,and the decline of the concentration of NO and the activity of NOS (P<0.05). CONCLUSION TFDH can improve the activity of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by NE, down-regutate mRNA expressions of proto oncogene ANP and β-MHC,and reduce the surface area of cardiomyocytes induced by NE.The mecha-nism may be related to promoting the release of NO and regulating the concentration of [Ca2+]iand the activity of Ca2+-ATP.

Objective To investigate the frequency and distribution characteristics of gene mutations in children with phenylalanine hydroxylase(PAH)deficiency in Xinjiang.Methods A total of 230 children diag-nosed with PAH deficiency in Urumqi Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from January 1st,2015 to February 28th,2023 were enrolled in the study.The variation of PAH gene was analyzed and the variation sites of PAH gene in children with different phenotypes were compared.Results A total of 441 PAH gene va-riants were detected in 230 children with PAH deficiency in Xinjiang,with a total detection rate of 95.87％.A-mong them,2 variants were detected in 227 cases,only 1 variant was detected in 2 cases,and 3 variants were detected in 1 case.217 cases were complex heterozygous variants,and 10 cases were homozygous variants.The high-frequency variant loci were c.158G＞A[23.39％(102/441)],c.728G＞A[11.70％(51/441)],c.688G＞A[5.05％(22/441)],c.721C＞T[3.90％(17/441)],c.611A＞G[3.67％(16/441)],c.1238G＞C[3.21％(14/441)].The high-frequency variant loci for classic PKU were c.728G＞A,c.331C＞T,and c.782G＞A;the high-frequency variant loci for mild PKU were c.721C＞T,c.1068C＞A,and c.1301C＞A;the high-frequency variant loci for children with mild HPA were c.158G＞A and c.688G＞A.There were significant differences in the frequency of high frequency mutations among the above three phenotypes(P＜0.05).Conclusion Mild HPA predominates in children with PAH deficiency in Xinjiang.The hotspot loci of the PAH gene in Xinjiang have been clarified,and specific PAH gene loci have been observed in the three different phenotypes,which can provide theoretical basis for prenatal diagnosis and clinical genetic counselling.

Objective To propose a novel algorithm model based on YOLOv7 for detecting small lesions in ultrasound images of hepatic cystic echinococcosis.Methods The original feature extraction backbone was replaced with a lightweight feature extraction backbone network GhostNet for reducing the quantity of model parameters.To address the problem of low detection accuracy when the evaluation index CIoU of YOLOv7 was used as a loss function,ECIoU was substituting for CIoU,which further improved the model detection accuracy.Results The model was trained on a self-built dataset of small lesion ultrasound images of hepatic cystic echinococcosis.The results showed that the improved model had a size of 59.4 G and a detection accuracy of 88.1%for mAP@0.5,outperforming the original model and surpassing other mainstream detection methods.Conclusion The proposed model can detect and classify the location and category of lesions in ultrasound images of hepatic cystic echinococcosis more efficiently.

Objective To explore the in vivo exposure levels of cigarette smoking ( CS) by measuring the biomar-kers nicotine and cotinine. Methods One hundred and sixty male SD rats were divided into 15 cigarette exposure groups (10, 20 and 30 nonfilter cigarettes/day, for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 weeks) and a control group (without CS exposure). The rats were sacrificed at different time?points. The concentration of plasma nicotine and cotinine were measured by GC?MS/MS. Results The CS?exposed rats displayed decreased locomotor activity, ataxic gait, irregular respiration, nasal noise, and salivation after smoking exposure for 3 weeks. Rats in the CS exposure groups had lower body weight, and the reduction of body weight was time and dose related (P<0. 01). The retention time of nicotine was 7. 5 to 8. 5 min. The concentra?tion of plasma nicotine in the CS exposure groups was higher than control group (155 ± 56. 65) ng/mL. The retention time of cotinine was 11. 5 to 12. 5 min, the concentrations of plasma cotinine in CS exposure groups were higher than control group (340 ± 41. 97) ng/mL, the increase of plasma cotinine in CS groups was time?related (P<0. 05), and the exposure concentration and duration had synergistic effect on the level of plasma cotinine ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusions CS exposurecauses structural damages in male rats. The plasma concentration of cotinine can effectively reflect the in vivo exposure lev?els of cigarette smoking, and well presents a dose?response relationship.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) gene expression in colorectal cancer tissues and survival prognosis, and to construct and evaluate a nomogram prediction model of GPXs for survival prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.Methods:The GPXs gene expresion data and other clinical data of 620 patients with colorectal cancer (455 cases of colon cancer and 165 cases of rectal cancer) were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and the GPXs gene expression data of 820 normal people were downloaded as controls, preprocessed by R language, and the gene expression data were analyzed for differential expression. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between GPXs gene expression and tumor mutation burden (TMB) in colorectal cancer tissues. Cox risk regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of survival and prognosis of colorectal cancer patients. Nomogram models were constructed to predict overall survival (OS) of colon cancer and rectal cancer patients, and its predictive performance was evaluated by calibration curve.Results:In the GPXs family, there were statistically significant differences in the mRNA expressions of GPX1, GPX2, GPX3, GPX4, GPX5, GPX7 and GPX8 between colon cancer patients and normal population, and the mRNA expressions of GPX1, GPX2, GPX4 and GPX8 in colon cancer patients were higher than those in normal population (all P<0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in the mRNA expressions of GPX1, GPX2, GPX3, GPX4, GPX7 and GPX8 between rectal cancer patients and normal population, and the mRNA expressions of GPX1, GPX2, GPX4, GPX7 and GPX8 in rectal cancer patients were higher than those in normal population (all P<0.05) . Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that GPX2 ( r s=-0.27, P<0.001) and GPX7 ( r s=-0.11, P=0.043) expressions were negatively correlated with TMB in colon cancer. There were no significant correlations between GPXs genes expressions and TMB in rectal cancer tissues (all P>0.05) . In colon cancer, univariate analysis showed that GPX3 ( HR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.05-1.43, P=0.012) , GPX4 ( HR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.01-1.92, P=0.045) , age ( HR=1.02, 95% CI: 1.01-1.04, P=0.010) and pTNM-stage ( HR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.43-2.21, P<0.001) were the influencing factors of OS. Multivariate analysis showed that GPX4 ( HR=1.96, 95% CI: 1.09-3.51, P=0.024) , age ( HR=1.02, 95% CI: 1.00-1.04, P=0.042) and pTNM-stage ( HR=1.61, 95% CI: 1.21-2.15, P=0.001) were the independent risk factors of OS. In rectal cancer, univariate analysis showed that age ( HR=1.08, 95% CI: 1.04-1.13, P<0.001) was the influencing factor of OS. Multivariate analysis showed that GPX7 ( HR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.22-0.88, P=0.020) , GPX8 ( HR=3.17, 95% CI: 1.63-6.17, P=0.001) and age ( HR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.16, P=0.001) were the independent influencing factors of OS. The consistency index (C-index) of the nomogram model for predicting OS in patients with colon cancer and rectal cancer were 0.71 (95% CI: 0.63-0.79) and 0.88 (95% CI: 0.82-0.94) respectively. The calibration curve showed that the prediction curve of the two models had a good fit with the real curve. Conclusion:GPX4 is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of colon cancer patients. Patients with high GPX4 expression have a poor prognosis. GPX7 and GPX8 are independent prognostic factors for rectal cancer patients, and the rectal cancer patients with low GPX7 expression and high GPX8 expression have poor prognosis. The nomogram constructed based on the above factors can better predict the prognosis of patients with colon cancer and rectal cancer.
