AIM:To investigate the regulation mechanism for insufficient KChIP 2 expression induces Ito,f downregulation and arrhythmogene-sis in cardiac hypertrophy .METHODS:Bidirectional manipulations of MG 53 expression were performed by adenoviral overexpression of MG53 or knockdown of MG53 with RNA interference in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes with or without PE stimulation .Ito,f was re-corded with patch clamp in whole-cell mode 48 h after adenoviral transfection .Then the WT or MG53 knockout ( MG53 -/-) mouse model of left ventricular hypertrophy induced by transverse aortic constriction ( TAC) were used to detect the susceptibility to ventricu-lar arrhythmia.RESULTS: Here, we show muscle-specific MG53 regulates KChIP2 expression and Ito,f densities, where they are downregulated in hearts from MG53 knockout mice and MG53 knockdown rat cardiomyocytes , but upregulated in MG53 overexpressed cells.MG53 expression is decreased in phenylephrine ( PE)-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and restoration of MG 53 rescues PE-induced downregulation of KChIP2 and Ito,f.Furthermore, MG53 is decreased in a mouse model of hypertrophy induced by transverse aortic constriction and ablation of MG 53 increases the susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmia by exaggerating Ito,f remodeling.CON-CLUSION:These findings establish MG53 as a novel regulator of Ito,f and its central role in arrhythmogenesis in hypertrophy .

Alzheimer's disease (AD) has abstracted many scientists' interests with the aging of people in the world, but its mechanisms are still remaining unclear. This review will focus on some of the mediators of oxidative stress occurring in AD pathology and their possible role in the AD pathogenesis. Meanwhile, antioxidant approaches for the prevention and treatment of AD are discussed.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of B-mode ultrasound guided percutaneous extensor tendon insertion reconstruction in the treatment of tendinous mallet fingers.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of patients with mallet finger deformity admitted to the Department of Hand Surgery of Jinan People’s Hospital from February 2010 to January 2019. Under the guidance of B-mode ultrasound, the extensor tendon was sutured percutaneously with PDS II monofilament suture, pulled to the base of the distal phalanx, which was drilled with a 1.0 mm Kirschner’s wire to reconstruct the insertion of the extensor tendon. The active and passive extension angles of the affected fingers and the wound healing were observed after operation. Evaluation of finger function using Crawford’s method.Results:A total of 58 cases were enrolled, including 48 males and 10 females, aged 20-53 years. 49 patients were followed up for 6 to 15 months after operation, with an average of 11 months, and 9 patients were lost to follow-up. The active extension angle of the affected finger changed from 46.5°±7.2° before operation to 6.4°±0.5° after operation, and the difference was statistically significant before and after operation ( t=38.89, P<0.001). The passive extension angle decreased from 3.2° ±0.3°before operation to 0.9° ±0.2°after operation, and the difference was statistically significant before and after operation ( t=44.65, P<0.001). There were no complications such as exposed knots and skin necrosis. Evaluation by Crawford method: excellent in 29 cases, good in 12 cases, and fair in 8 cases. Conclusions:Percutaneous ultrasound-guided extensor finger tendon insertion reconstruction, minimally invasive surgery, in the treatment of tendon mallet finger function recovered well, and the effect was satisfactory.

[Objective] To explore the effectiveness of scrotal rapid rehabilitation bandage (scrotal girdle) in preventing postoperative complications of varicocele. [Methods] A total of 80 patients with varicocele who underwent microscopical varicocele ligation during Dec.2021 and May 2023 were divided into the experimental group (n=40) and control group (n=40) by the random number table method.All patients received wound dressing one week after surgery and stopped using it after wound healing.Additionally, the experimental group was treated with scrotal girdle for another 8 weeks.The preoperative and postoperative scores of scrotal edema on the 2nd, 4th and 6th day after surgery, satisfaction, length of hospital stay, frequency of dressing changes, pain intensity, complications, serum testosterone level and semen routine at the 12th week after surgery were compared between the two groups. [Results] The score of scrotal edema in the experimental group was (1.12±0.38) on the 6th day after operation, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (1.68±0.50) (P<0.05). The hospitalization time of the experimental group was significantly shorter than that of the control group, and the frequency of dressing changes was also significantly reduced, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The patient satisfaction was 95% in the experimental group higher than 80% in the control group (P<0.05). The sperm density was (54.12±6.23) ×10⁶/L and the sperm motility rate was (66.45±0.44)% in the experimental group, while the sperm density was (41.53±8.51) ×10⁶/L and the sperm motility rate was (57.85±0.47)% in the control group.The sperm density, sperm motility rate, and sperm malformation rate of both groups were significantly improved after surgery, and the sperm density and sperm motility rate of the experimental group improved more significantly than those of the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). [Conclusion] The scrotal rapid rehabilitation bandage is more advantageous than traditional external bandaging materials for patients with varicocele after operation, which can accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients and has more clinical practicability.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of pelvic floor optimization training of Yun-type with the aid of myoelectric biofeedback in the treatment of mild to moderate female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods: Female SUI patients treated in our hospital during Jan.and Oct.2024 were included as the research subjects.They were randomly divided into the control group (n=47) and observation group (n=48) by random number method.The control group received conventional Yun-type pelvic floor optimization training，while the observation group received Yun-type pelvic floor optimization training assisted with myoelectric biofeedback.The total treatment course lasted for 12 weeks.The clinical efficacy，as well as the changes in international consultation on incontinence questionnaire for symptoms and impact (ICI-Q-SF)，incontinence quality of life (I-QoL)，female sexual function index (FSFI)，and pelvic floor electromyographic values before and after treatment were compared. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.6%，which was significantly higher than that of the control group (79.2%，P<0.05).After 12 weeks of treatment，the ICI-Q-SF [(6.12±1.11) vs. (6.97±1.24)]，I-QoL [(85.05±4.51) vs. (82.14±4.60)]，and FSFI [(30.01±4.10) vs. (26.32±3.32)] scores of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05).After 12 weeks of treatment，the myoelectric values of the pelvic floor muscles of the observation group at the pre-rest stage，fast muscle (type Ⅱ muscle) stage，slow muscle (type Ⅰ muscle) stage，endurance test stage，and post-rest stage were significantly improved compared with those before treatment and were greatly enhanced compared with those of the control group (P<0.05).No serious adverse reactions occurred in either groups during treatment and follow-up. Conclusion: The Yun-type pelvic floor optimization training assisted with myoelectric biofeedback can precisely enhance the therapeutic effects of the conventional Yun-type pelvic floor optimization training，and significantly improve the female sexual function index.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
